Team Adam w/ John Fogerty
Jordan Smith vs. Regina Love
Sam Smith's "Like I Can"
I know this song pretty well, but the way they started it, it sounded so different. Regina's voice is just too deep for me. There was one part that the low notes were pretty wavering and she didn't quite nail them. I don't know, I just love Jordan's voice. They kind of switched gender roles in this song. She was deep, and he was the higher voice. Interesting. They blended well. I just really hope Jordan wins. I don't know how you can't reward him for that performance. She was good, but there is something so special and incredible about Jordan. I don't think this competition would be the same without him. We've seen plenty of singers like Regina in the past, but there hasn't ever been anyone like Jordan. If by some disaster Jordan doesn't win, he BETTER get stolen!
WINNER: JORDAN
STEAL: Gwen stole Regina (sorry, but that was a wasted steal...way too many good singers to come)
Dustin Monk vs. James Dupre
Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Fortunate Son"
I liked both of these guys in their audition. I love the rapport they have with each other. It's clear that they both want each other to do well. James started out strong, and then Dustin came in just as strong. Oh man, this is going to be so tough! Their voices are actually very, very similar. If I close my eyes, I can't tell which one is singing! They are so similar and are completely neck-and-neck in this one. I have no idea what Adam is going to do. Both of these guys deserve to be in the competition, but with so many steals already, I'm afraid we're going to lose one of them.
WINNER: JAMES
Team Blake w/ Brad Paisley
Tyler Dickerson vs. Zach Seabaugh
Travis Tritt's "I'm Gonna Be Somebody"
I love them both, so this is going to be a tough one for me. I just love both of their voices, even though they are doing a country song. I had a little bit of a hard time understanding what Tyler was singing, but his voice sounded great. I think I like Zach's voice a little bit better, and I think he could be very versatile, and sing things other than country. Zach had a really nice moment where his voice really shined. I think Tyler's experience showed in his stage presence a little more than Zach. Zach had one moment where he really tried to force the notes a little too much and his voice cracked a little bit. All in all, they blended beautifully ad had a really good harmony at the end. This is a tough one. I'm not sure who is going to take this one.
WINNER: ZACH
Barrett Baber vs. Dustin Christensen
Mark Cohen's "Walking in Memphis"
Another pretty even match-up. I don't really have a favorite between these two. After hearing them sing together, I still don't know who I like better. They are both good and both sound good together. I wouldn't say I'm blown away by either of them. They both have a very big range for country singers. It was kind of like a battle of the dueling vocal ranges. I think maybe Barrett won me over a little more than Dustin at the end, but it's going to be a very close one.
WINNER: BARRETT
STEAL: Adam and Gwen pushed to steal, and he chose to join Team Adam (womp womp...another wasted steal...I was really hoping he would pick Gwen because again, there are too many good singers yet to come!)
Team Gwen w/ Selena Gomez
Ellie Lawrence vs. Tim Atlas
The Neighbourhood's "Sweater Weather"
I didn't go into this performance with strong feelings for either of these 2. I was really impressed with this performance, though! I wasn't sure how they would do together, but their voices sounded amazing together. I liked Ellie's quirky voice on this song. Tim did a really great job as well. I'm torn on this one as well. I'm not sure who it's going to be. If I had to guess, I would say Ellie because she's a little bit more unique.
WINNER: ELLIE
STEAL: Pharrell stole Tim (another wasted steal...too many way good singers who aren't going to be able to be stolen because they have wasted some steals on people who were not as good)
Team Pharrell w/ Missy Elliott
Celeste Betton vs. Mark Hood
Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell's "Ain't No Mountain High Enough"
Don't love this song choice...let's do something current, OK, Pharrell? I don't care for Celeste. I do love Mark's voice, though. They did a good job together, but I would definitely pick Mark. His range is crazy!
WINNER: MARK
