The Voice: Ranking The Teams

Ranking The Teams

Blake is Building a Country Army

With the battle rounds starting I am going to be taking a few different things into consideration. I will be looking at the choices of battle contestants, the picks of the winners, whether any of the coaches stole anyone and especially which adviser is the coolest.

1. Team Adam

Battles

Midas Whale vs. Patrick Dodd
Song: Burning Love by Elvis Presley
Winner: Midas Whale

Sarah Simmons vs. Duncan Kamakana
Song: Wanted You More by Lady Antebellum
Winner: Sarah Simmons

Amy Whitcomb vs. Agina Alvarez
(Not Shown on TV)
Song: Heartbreaker by Pat Benetar
Winner: Amy Whitcomb

Stolen Artists: Orlando Dixon

Adam easily has the most talent on his team and that is proven by the fact that one of the best singers on his team hasn't even been shown on the show for more then a couple seconds. Besides my love for Amy Whitcomb, Adam picked Midas Whale to move on and had an easy decision when he kept Sarah Simmons over Duncan Kamakana. Out of all eight of his singers he has five that are arguably the best singers in this competition. It looks like it will come down to which coach uses their artists the best in the next round.

Already Picked: Judith Hill, Amber Carrington, Warren Stone, Caroline Glasser

Best Performance: Midas Whale vs. Patrick Dodd

2. Team Blake

Battles

Jacqui  Sandell vs. Savannah Berry
Song: Little White Church by Little Big Town
Winner: Savannah Berry

Justin Rivers vs. The Morgan Twins
(Not Shown on TV)
Song: Easy by Rascal Flatts ft. Natasha Bedingfield
Winner: Justin Rivers

Stolen Artists: Luke Edgemon

Blake had pretty much secured the best country singers last week and surprised no one by bohlstering his stable a little more. He picked Justin Rivers and Savannah Berry and stole the pop/country Luke Edgemon. Add those three to Holly Tucker, The Swan Bros, Danielle Bradbury and Grace Askew and you have a touring lineup for any country music festival.

Already Picked: Holly Tucker, The Swan Brothers, Danielle Bradbury, Grace Askew, Taylor Beckham

Best Performance: Jacqui Sandell vs. Savannah Berry

3. Team Usher

Battles

Jessica Childress vs. Vedo
Song: Locked Out of Heaven by Bruno Mars
Winner: Vedo

Orlando Dixon vs. Ryan Innes
Song: Ain't No Sunshine by Bill Withers
Winner: Ryan Innes

Chelsea M. vs. Michelle Chamuel
(Not Shown on TV)
Song: Titanium by David Guetta ft. Sia
Winner: Michelle Chamuel

Stolen Artists: C. Perkins, Cathia

Usher drops a spot this week only because it looks like Blake has put together a better team of eight. He made great picks in Ryan Innes and Michelle Chamuel but kind of surprised me when he took Vedo over Jessica Childress. His wasted one of his steals on probably the weakest artist that was left and got lucky when Shakira picked Mary Miranda instead of the obviously better Cathia.

Already Picked: Jess Kellner, Josiah Hawley, Audrey Karrasch

Best Performance: Orlando Dixon vs. Ryan Innes

4. Team Shakira

Battles

Luke Edgemon vs. Monique Abbadie
Song: You and I by Lady Gaga
Winner: Monique Abbadie

C. Perkins vs. Kris Thomas
Song: It Will Rain by Bruno Mars
Winner: Kris Thomas

Brandon Roush vs. Shawna P.
Song: Piece of My Heart by Janis Joplin
Winner: Brandon Roush

Mary Miranda vs Cathia
Song: Antes De Las Sies
Winner: Mary Miranda

Stolen Artists: None

We got a lot of Battles from Shakira's team this week and I'll tell you what, it doesn't look to good going forward for her chances of winning. She made a huge mistake taking Monique Abbadie over Luke Edgemon and a not-so-big but still confusing choice of Mary Miranda over Cathia. Brandon Roush and Kris Thomas were the obvious choices, if only because of who they were up against. The best case for Shakira to win is one of the artists she stole from Adam.

Already Picked: Garret Gardner, Tawnya Reynolds, Karina Iglesias, Sasha Allen

Best Performance: Luke Edgemon vs. Monique Abbadie
