Wow, this season is going quickly!
Semi-Final FAN WEEK takes them from 9 to 5. Four will be in by direct vote (one from each team) and one will join them after an insta-save.
New Song for fans first; then later, trios; with a plus of Gwen singing her new single
Team Blake
Jim Ranger - "Without You" Harry Nilsson - (fun twist - a fan in a video does the introduction) Ahhh - now we're talking ( or singing) chills - wow! John - best of your work on this show - flawless. Blake - you did it! More impressed than he's ever been on the show.
Team Kelly
Cami Clune - "The Joke" Brandi Carlile - starts in a lovely lower register and takes it up. Gwen thinks her tone is like an angel. Kelly thinks she has a way of telling a story that is beautiful.
Trio - Carter, Desz and Jim "Will We Go Round in Circles" For me a weird song that I have never heard. Has a good beat.
Team Gwen
Ben Allen "All About Tonight" Blake Shelton - such a country voice - doing justice - the drummer had a lot of fun - Blake is jealous and blown away. Gwen - thinks its funny that she is going to win the voice with Blake's song.
Team Legend
John Holiday "Fix You" Coldplay - Legend thinks the message is perfect for this year. He sings with such soft emotion. Such range. He got to me. Kelly says that the last part blew her away so much that she had to shut down. John is crying.
Trio - Ben, Ian, Tamara "Livin on Georgia Time" definite 2-step beat. The guys with guitars, Tamara with a tamborine.
Team Kelly
Desz "Don't Go (Love)" En Vogue - A Diva performs - so good - (Kelly stood with a grimace good or bad?) I think it's good because she looks like she is going to pass out. John felt the fire, love the higher parts because she sang with such power. Kelly's favorite performance on her team. She wants to be her back up singer.
Team Legend
Bailey Rae "Georgia (on My Mind)" Ray Charles - light side of soul - nice country voice - Blake loves Bailey Rae, not because she is a hometown girl, but she has a specific voice - John thinks we need to be reminded that she is still young.
Gwen Stefani does her thing..."Let Me Reintroduce Myself" - a bright, happy song for 2020 Blake is singing along
Trio - John, Tamara, Bailey Rae "Pompeii" Bastille - Another song new to me, but I like this one. John Holiday shining through this group.
Team Blake
Ian Flanigan "Angel" Sara MacLachan - playing guitar - grit in voice gives song a different feel, not as soft, but interesting. Kelly thinks he can sing any song said he made it into a song that he could have written. Blake took song suggestion from Kelly.
Team Legend
Tamara Jade "Let It Be" Beatles - another Diva, but with feeling and deep tonal richness - lovely - Gwen thinks she is sparkly and shiny - such a great job. John thinks she is stunning. a superstar.
Team Gwen
Carter Rubin (15) "Rainbow Connection" The Muppet Movie - a beautiful head voice (choir boy type) Okay, now I'm verklempt - where's my kleenex? Lovely waltz time. Gorgeous! Gwen is also teary. Gwen thinks that was flawless; like God answering her prayers.
READY FOR RESULTS TOMORROW!
