Blake Shelton Wants Gwen Stefani to Return as a Coach on The Voice!

Fans are coming to accept that Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton might never get married.

But these two music stars are still crazy about spending every waking moment together.

And apparently Blake wants that to include work, and wants Gwen back as a fellow coach on The Voice.

RadarOnline reports that Blake Shelton is itching to have his lady love once again be his co-star.

“Blake absolutely wants Gwen back on the show,” a source from the set of The Voice reveals.

From Blake’s perspective, the insider says, “It just isn’t the same for him without her.”

That’s true, even for those who aren’t in love with her. Gwen is a huge star.

“Gwen wants to come back, too,” the source reports.

That doesn’t mean that she will return to the show … but she does have a lot of incentive.

Apparently, Gwen would fit in just as well on the show as she did on the day she left.

“She gets along with everyone,” the insider says.

That’s no surprise. Gwen is a delight.

“And,” the source adds, Gwen “is on set frequently anyways just to be there with him.”

Lots of people go hang out at their significant other’s place of employment.

“it’s like a second home to her,” the insider characterizes.

Blake Shelton, thirsty ho that he is, has been on every single season of The Voice. It’s how a lot of people know his name.

Gwen, a pop superstar as well as a busy mother, was only on Seasons 7, 8, 9, 10, and 12.

“Gwen finally left after Season 12,” the source explains.

The insider makes it clear that Gwen only departed “because she had a lot going on.”

“But NBC stands behind her,” the source says, emphasizing that there are no secret gripes or hard feelings.

“And,” the insider says. “They absolutely adore Gwen.”

“Although it would be a dream come true to have Gwen on in the near future,” the on-set source begins.

The insider points out that “everyone also knows that they need to have a more diversified panel of judges.”

The source correctly notes that a diverse panel is needed “to represent America.”

Yeah, it’s exciting that John Legend is joining the show for Season 16.

But nobody looks at Blake Shelton, Adam Levine, and Kelly Clarkson and goes wow, this show needs more white coaches.

(Honestly, The Voice could stand to remember that Native Americans and folks of Asian descent can be coaches, too)

So Gwen might not join — but will Blake leave to spend more time with her?

Blake seems determined to remain on the show. And honestly, as strange as it may sound, he may be vital to The Voice‘s success.

We all may have dissolved into laughter when he was named Sexiest Man Alive last year, but plenty of people like him.

And after 15 seasons, Blake Shelton is part of the show’s basic premise. He and Adam Levine have been constants.

It’s hard to imagine Blake leaving any time soon, even if Gwen probably won’t be back on the roster in the near future.

Beverly McClellan Dies; The Voice Finalist Was 49

Beverly McClellan, a beloved contestant on The Voice who advanced to the final four back on Season 1, died on Tuesday after a lengthy battle with cancer.

She was 49 years old.

The artist was on Team Christina Aguilera back during her run on the NBC singing competition and her death was confirmed by her publicist via the following statement:

“It is with great sadness I have to share the news that we lost Beverly today.

“She was a wonderful, funny, complicated, and incredibly talented young woman who touched millions with her voice and her huge heart. I am honored to have been her manager and her friend.

“Please keep her spirit alive by sharing her music and all the wonderful memories you have of her.”

McClellan, who became a fan favorite after belting out “Piece of My Heart” for her blind audition, was surrounded by loved ones at the time of her passing

McClellan had been battling stage 4 endometrial cancer for approximately a year.

She had recently been sent to a California hospital to receive treatment after her health took a turn for the worse.

The singer’s family had been running a GoFundMe page titled “Beverly Mitchell Will Beat Cancer” and the latest update was posted on October 22.

It reads as follows:

Hi everyone please continue to share. We received the bill today for incidentals and we owe $ 10,099.00 as of today.

As you all may have already heard Beverly broke her femur while at CHIPSA, only 3 days into her treatments. And the Benefit, did not raise enough to cover it all.

Please share and share again! Bev needs your help in covering the hospital bills. As you all have seen this is working and she is making major strides.

We appreciate any and all donations. Peace, Love and Light!

Nakia, another semifinalist on season 1 of The Voice, Tweeted his thoughts on McClellan upon learning this sad piece of news.

“I am absolutely heartbroken. My dear friend & fellow S1 @NBCTheVoice alum, @beverlyshane has died.” he wrote, adding:

“Truly a unique soul with a beautiful heart, full of passion & an amazing talent. This was us singing @xtina’s Beautiful on tour.”

Prior to her death, the aforementioned GoFundMe page had raised $ 31,850 to assist with Beverly’s medical bills.

“She depends on her talents for income, and needless to say, she cannot sing or play at gigs during these trying times,” wrote a previous entry on this page, concluding:

“Her summer and fall tours have been canceled and hopefully rescheduled for next year.

“Beverly has a beautiful heart and beautiful music; on many, many occasions has donated her performances for the benefit and fundraising of others in need – recently for #marchforourlives.”

May Beverly McClellan rest in peace.

The Voice Recap: Who Survived Night 2 of the Knockouts?

Night 2 of the Knockouts brought more of the same. 

By that, we mean some downright awful decisions from the coaches, some more input from Mariah Carey, and some sub-par singing. 

Hey, the show has been going for over seven years, so it was only a matter of time before the bar for talent had to be lowered. 

But who survived the three Knockouts on Tuesday night? 

Team Jennifer: Franc West singing “Call Out My Name” vs. Tyshawn Colquitt singing “Pillowtalk” 

Jennifer was open and honest about putting these two together because they sound so similar. It’s survival of the fittest at this stage of the game, so it made sense. 

Mariah wanted Franc to dial it back because he was essentially following the original version of his Weeknd cover, and it was repetitive. 

The musical powerhouse also told Tyshawn to start quiet and get progressively louder as the performance goes on. 

Franc took the advice on board, and it worked in his favor. His performance oozed confidence, but the same could not be said for Tyshawn’s. 

Basically, he fell apart after the first verse, and never quite recovered. 

Jennifer stuck to her guns and kept Franc. 

Team Kelly: Abby Cates singing “Because of You” vs. Claire DeJean singing “There’s Nothing Holdin’ Me Back” 

Abby’s nerves continued to get the best of her, so she went with a Kelly song that was switched up by the original performer of the song. 

As for Claire, they were worried she was rushing through the performance and told her to take baby steps with it. 

Abby dominated her Knockout, and the nerves seemed to subside early on which was a huge positive. Claire turned in a decent performance, but it was no match for the one Abby performed before her. 

Kelly kept Abby, and Claire was sent home. 

Team Blake: Dave Fenley singing “Stuck On You” vs. Kameron Marlowe singing “I Shot the Sheriff” 

Mariah had only positive vibes to send at Dave and Kameron. She felt they were strong vocally, and that they were ticking all of the boxes. 

Dave managed to sing from the heart during his performance, and wowed the coaches, while Kameron languished like he already felt his time on the show was over. 

However, Adam stepped in to give Kameron another chance.

The Voice Recap: Welcome, Mariah Carey!

Mariah Carey may have built up a reputation as a diva throughout her years in the spotlight, but she’s decided to change this up by appearing on The Voice as an adviser. 

If first impressions are everything, then she made a good impression on the artists she worked with. She wanted to push them to their limit while nurturing the talent. 

Monday’s episode also served as the first episode of the Knockout rounds, pitting some of the best singers of the season against each other. 

But how did it all pan out? 

Team Adam: Tyke James singing “Ring of Fire” vs. Keith Paluso singing “You Are the Best Thing”

Mariah worried that Keith was being too heavy with his vocals and thought it would be great if he slowed down to give viewers a chance to take in his unique voice. 

Meanwhile, Tyke was rushing through his rehearsal, and Mariah wanted him to douse it with some heart. That’s not a big thing to ask. 

Keith’s performance fell very flat, and it was almost like he didn’t take any of the feedback on board which was rather problematic. 

Tyke’s performance starred slow but gradually got better. He did take the feedback to heart, and that’s likely why he won the Knockout. 

But Kelly wanted to give Keith another shot, so she stole him. 

Team Kelly: Kymberli Joye singing “The Middle” vs. Zaxai singing “Cruisin’” vs. Natasia GreyCloud singing “Tennessee Whiskey”

This was an odd choice. There were three people competing in this heat, and it was because Cody Ray Raymond departed the contest. 

The positive here was that two of the three would be advancing to the Top 24. Mariah had little to say to the three performers, presumably because they were solid. 

There wasn’t a negative thing to say about either of the performances. The trio killed it, and Kelly saved Kymberli and Zaxai, while Blake stepped in to save Natasia. 

Team Jennifer: MaKenzie Thomas singing “How Deep Is Your Love” vs. Mike Parker singing “Breakeven” 

Makenzie has one of the best voices this season, but her Knockout performance was not all that. Mariah was taken aback in rehearsals and even shed a tear. We didn’t know that was possible, but stranger things have happened. 

Similarly, Mike’s voice was all over the place when it came to the actual performance, but Makenzie secured a narrow victory, while Mike was sent home. 

Team Blake: Funsho singing “Earned It” vs.  Katrina Cain singing “Don’t Let Me Down” 

Mariah gave some solid advice to Funsho: pull back and relax. That was enough for him to tower above Katrina Cain, who languished with her performance. 

Blake saved Funsho, but nobody saved Katrina. 

Team Jennifer: Patrique Fortson singing “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing” vs. SandyRedd singing “Dangerous Woman” 

Patrique’s pacing was the issue for Mariah, and she helped him work on it, with some of her signature wit thrown in. 

SandyRedd was given a similar set of commands, and both performances were solid if a little unspectacular. 

Jennifer saved Patrique and SandyRedd, so that’s a plus!

The Voice Recap: Who Won The Final Battle?

The Battle Rounds came to a grinding halt Tuesday night, and while we witnessed three battles, a bunch were saved for the dreaded montage.

With the Knockouts coming up and the season’s big twist set to switch things up, the show might actually remain exciting all season long. 

Who would have thought it? Usually, the excitement fizzles out right before the live shows, but time will tell whether the producers messing with the formula will work.  

Let’s break down the final three battles of the season!

Team Kelly: Sarah Grace vs. Erika Zade – “No Roots”

Sarah opened up about never having a vocal lesson before, so being in rehearsals was uncharted territory for her. 

She was receptive to feedback, so that was a huge positive, but she didn’t feel like Alice Merton number would benefit her voice. 

The same could be said for Erika. The true kicker here was that both women turned in solid performances, and it was difficult to pick between them. 

Kelly went with Sarah, and nobody voted to steal Erika. 

Team Blake: Kameron Marlowe vs. Kayley Hill – “Only Wanna Be With You”

As this one kicked off, it seemed like Kameron was going to have the edge, but both performers were worthy of being kept in the battle for the recording contract. 

There were no nerves here, just an excellent performance, and it’s sad that one of them had to go. 

Kameron won this round, and Kayley was sent home. 

Team Adam: DeAndre Nico vs. Funsho – “Can You Stand the Rain”

The frustrating thing here was that both of the above performers were the worst of the night. There were no harmonies, and it made the overall performance rather weak. 

Adam opted to stick it out with DeAndre while Blake decided to steal Funsho. It was a dumb move when you consider there were two much better singers sent home. 

During the dreaded montage, we learned that Claire DeJean defeated Josh Davis to remain on Team Kelly, Kirk Jay beat Caeland Garner to stay on Team Blake, and Kennedy Holmes won over Lela to continue on with Team Jennifer. 

Kennedy is probably the most popular artist in the show right now, so giving her the montage was a bizarre move.

The Voice Recap: Who Got The Boot?

Night three of the Battle Rounds brought more of the same Monday night:

The wrong people being sent home. Well, mostly. 

As is becoming the norm with this series, the coaches are keeping the people around they think viewers are tuning in for. 

But who went home?

Find out below.

Team Blake: Dave Fenley vs. Keith Paluso – “I’m a One-Woman Man”

It was clear from the get-go that this was Dave’s competition to lose. Keith was all over the place in rehearsals, forgetting things and just coming across as though he could care less. 

When the performance actually kicked off, both men started well, but Keith quickly faltered, leaving Dave to take the whole thing. 

As expected, Blake opted to stick with Dave as opposed to Keith, but Adam gave Keith a reprieve. The issue here is that Keith is not doing very well, and Adam could be setting himself up for failure. 

Time will tell. 

Team Adam: Reagan Strange vs. Emily Hough – “Photograph”

These two girls became friends thanks to the process and didn’t want to battle one another, but they don’t get to pick the rules. 

While they started the battle well, Reagan quickly towered above her competitor, but that’s not to say Emily was bad. 

There was a lot to like about her voice, but Adam went with his gut and kept Reagan in the competitive loop. 

Team Jennifer: Franc West vs. Matt Johnson – “Too Close”

This battle was the closest of the night. Franc and Matt have distinctly different voices, but they both killed it during their battle. 

Matt definitely had the edge, but Jennifer opted to send him home. 

Team Kelly: Abby Cates vs. Delaney Silvernell – “Love Me Like You Do” 

Delaney continued to struggle with her nerves during the rehearsals, and Kelly wondered whether they would be addressed by the time the show actually kicked off. 

Unfortunately, they were not, and it resulted in a shaky performance that allowed Abby the time she needed to shine. 

Kelly kept Abby in the game, and Adam decided to give Delaney another shot, presumably because he knew there was a star in there somewhere. 

Team Adam: Jake Wells vs. Natalie Brady – “Closing Time”

Jake wondered why he was paired with Natalie because they had different appearances. Natalie was just happy to still be in the game, so she continued to sing. 

When put together, they were probably on the same level, but that was not enough to keep them both there. Jake secured the win, and there was no steal for Natalie. 

Team Jennifer: Tyshawn Colquitt vs. Zaxai – “Love Lies”

Tyshawn wowed everyone with his audition and continued to excel during this final battle of the night.

Zaxai was solid, but there was something about his vocals that were not up to par with Tyshawn’s. 

In any case, Jennifer stuck with Tyshawn while Kelly took on Zaxai.

The Voice Recap: Who Survived Night 2 of the Battles?

The Battle Rounds continued on Tuesday’s episode of The Voice, and there were some big shockers. 

Certain performers who were solid in the Blind Auditions completely fizzled out. Others continued to turn in winning performances. 

But who did not get through to the next stage?

Find out below. 

Team Kelly: Kymberli Joye vs. OneUp – “Mercy”

In a rare feat, Kymberli went up against not one, but two competitors thanks OneUp being a duo. As we previously said, OneUp’s vocals are not all that. 

And that’s wh Kymberli won this heat with flying colors. Some would say it wasn’t a fair fight for OneUp, but that’s to be expected when there is just one duo in the process. 

Team Adam: Steve Memmolo vs. Anthony Arya – “Amy”

This was a fair fight. They were both not that great in the Blinds, so pitting them together made for a surprisingly competitive performance. 

Steve definitely had the edge, and that was made obvious by his higher vocals. In the end, Adam kept Steve, but Anthony got a reprieve thanks to Jennifer. 

Team Adam: Tyke James vs.Jarred Matthew – “She’s Always a Woman”

Okay, so we’re still unsure why either of these two got through the Blinds, but here we are. But one of them had to win, and it was genuinely difficult to tell them apart in the midst of all the screaming. 

Tyke took the win, and thankfully, there was no steal in play. Phew. 

Team Blake: Chris Kroeze vs. Mercedes Ferreira-Dias – “Back in the High Life Again”

There were a lot of issues with this Battle. Both artists did not sound good together, and that’s why it would come down to the personal preference of the coach. 

Neither was better than the other. They were limited by their shared lack of ability. 

Team Blake: Katrina Cain vs. Rachel Messer on “Angel”

Katrina has been a solid performer ever since her turn in the Blind Auditions, but what the heck was wrong with her voice during this Battle?

Had she been replaced with someone who looked like her? In any case, she secured the win over Rachel, but something tells me Rachel should have won this round. 

That’s a wrap on Night 2 of the Battle Rounds. There’s still a lot to come from the Battles before we get to the Knockouts and the Playoffs. 

There’s also the big twist coming up, so there’s that.

The Voice Recap: Who Made It to the Battle Rounds?

The Blind Auditions reached their sixth night on Tuesday. 

Yes, it felt like groundhog day, but at least there were some decent acts, we guess. 

With the Battles creeping up, most of the below competitors will probably not survive them. 

Caeland Garner (Team Blake) – “Dancing in the Moonlight”

Remember Red Marlow? Well, his friend, Caeland appeared at the Blind Auditions, and immediately struck a chord with the coaches. 

The 31-year-old went with a Toploader cover, and it got Blake happy enough to take him as one his own competitors. 

“Your voice is so unique,” the coach said. “I’m mesmerized by your sound.”

Lela (Team Jennifer) – “Havana”

This 15-year-old Miami native was open about wanting to harness the sounds of both Shakira and Beyonce. While we’re not sure she sounded anything like either of those famous artists, there was something there to like. 

However, there’s no telling whether she will survive the Battle Rounds, or if she will be able to adapt quickly.

Cody Ray Raymond (Team Kelly) – “Born Under a Bad Sign”

Cody turned in a surprising audition. He seemed like he had a distinct sound before he even started singing, but he switched it up with an extraordinary rendition of this hit song. 

Kelly heard the voice and immediately turned her chair because there was something to work with here. He had charisma, the vocals, and a great stage presence.  

Abby Cates (Team Kelly) – “Scars to Your Beautiful”

On paper, Abby seemed like she would be a great performer, but her voice burned out by the second verse of her number, and that’s a bad sign. 

If that’s the shape of things to come for this youngster, then there’s little chance she will make it very far.

Funsho (Team Adam) – “Finesse”

It’s always difficult to chase the dream, but Funsho quit his job to carve out a career in music in L.A., and he’s been struggling ever since. 

The good thing was that his voice was robust, and could probably move some mountains. The song choice will be critical from here on out for this one.

The Voice Recap: Who Landed a Four-Chair Turn?

The Blind Auditions were dragged out even further on Monday’s episode of The Voice. 

But there was one silver lining:

The first duo in years made it to the Blind Auditions, but how did the couple fare?

OneUp (Team Kelly) – “Could It Be I’m Falling in Love”

Adam and Jerome got close to each other while shooting a music video, and decided it was time to form a duo. 

The issue, however, is that their vocals did not mesh well together. They would have been wiser to audition as solo acts. 

Kelly probably only took them on because it was so different to have a duo in the game. If they can dial back the confidence, they might be able to adapt. 

Natalie Brady (Team Adam) – “Barracuda”  

This 33-year-old Nashville singer showed up on the stage and immediately made it her own. With solid vocals and a great stage presence, she could be one to watch. 

The surprising thing was that she only got two chair turns, but she could be a success story with Adam’s help. 

Mike Parker (Team Jennifer) – “So Sick”

Mike was quick to point out that he lost all of his scholarships because his grades were not up to scratch. 

He turned to a career in construction, but he could probably carve out a career in music. His audition was solid, and we’re sure he will be a great addition to Team Jennifer. 

Erika Zade (Team Kelly) –  “New Rules”

Erika is the 20-year-old daughter of a rocker from Miami. She with Dua Lipa’s hit single for her audition, and let’s just say it was not what we expected. 

She put her own unique spin on it, but was there anything beyond that audition that she could accomplish? We have no idea.

Jarred Matthew (Team Adam) –  “Tired of Being Alone”

Jarred went with an Al Green classic, and his vocals hit astronomical heights. He had a lot of confidence, not as much as OneUp, and that’s a good thing. 

Out of all the performers Monday night, he is the most likely to make it further into the competition. He has the look of a superstar, so that’s a positive.

It will all come down to whether his chances are ruined by horrid song choices. 

Kayley Hill (Team Blake) – “Gold Dust Woman”

Anybody who can tackle a Fleetwood Mac number should automatically get a four-chair turn. There, we said it. 

Kayley was another solid performance, but she was a casualty of the short auditions. Maybe the producers wanted to save her best for the Batlle Rounds. 

Kirk Jay (Team Blake) – “God Bless the Broken Road”

This 22-year-old country singer turned in a striking performance that got the coveted four-chair turn. 

He was confident and knew what was expected of him, and he set out to prove to everyone that he should be kept in the game. 

In the end, he went to Team Blake, and that’s a good thing.

The Voice Recap: Who Won Night 4 of the Blind Auditions?

After Monday’s Blind Auditions brought some of the worst auditions yet our way, five more people advanced to the next stage of the competition on Tuesday. 

But were these five more worthy than the bunch that made the first episode of the week such a big drag?

Let’s break down Tuesday’s performances!

Reagan Strange (Team Adam) – “Meant to Be”

This 13-year-old appeared on the stage and shocked everyone. With her mature attitude and dizzying vocals, she emerged as quite the contender. 

As seems to be the norm on this NBC hit, first performance nerves can cause some problems, and that’s what happened here. 

In the end, she joined Team Adam, and her future in the process will hinge on whether she can battle the nerves and whether Adam chooses the right songs for her. 

Foushée (Team Adam) – “Redbone”

Foushée appeared on stage and had all of the makings of a global sensation. Being the daughter of a drummer, she knew what she had to do to secure a place post-audition. 

That’s why she made her way to Team Adam. It would have been fun to see what Kelly did with her, but Adam might be the next best thing. 

Chris Kroeze (Team Blake) – “Pride and Joy”

Chris shocked both the audience and the coaches. Adam thought he was a woman because nobody expected such a sweet voice from a man who looks like a country rocker. 

That said, being put in Blake’s team might prove to be the biggest mistake, because Blake is going to throw every country song at him to see what sticks. 

MaKenzie Thomas (Team Jennifer), “Big White Room”

Makenzie returned after not getting anywhere during Season 14. Her aim here was to get the chairs turning because her nerves got the best of her the last time. 

There was a great voice there, but a lot of work is required to make sure the teenager does not sound as pitchy as she did during the audition. 

Thankfully, she’s on Team Jennifer, and we could not think of a better place for her!

SandyRedd (Team Kelly), “River”

This 35-year-old mother of two brought her A-game Tuesday night. With vocals that people can only dream of, the coaches rewarded her with a four-chair turn. 

It was the biggest surprise of the night because the spots on each team are starting to look hella full, but SandyRedd was worth it. 

In fact, she was so worth it that Jennifer Hudson threw both of her shoes at her. Is it a big compliment? We hope so. 

In the end, she opted to go with Team Kelly.

The Voice Recap: Are These the Worst Auditions Ever?!

After some genuinely surprising performances last week, the action slowed down Monday night, and we got to meet a group of middle of the pack performers. 

But where did they end up?

Let’s break down the performances, shall we?

Dave Fenley (Team Blake) – “Help Me Hold On”

This 39-year-old Texan native was such a hoot that he got Kelly and Blake advocating to be associated with him. 

His Travis Tritt cover was solid, but his confidence and personality are what really set him apart from the others. 

Blake seems like the likely candidate to give this one time to shine. His voice matches what Blake generally goes for, so there’s that. 

Audri Bartholomew (Team Jennifer) – “Never Enough”

It was only a matter of time before The Greatest Showman songs did the singing competition circuit, but we wish Audri was better. 

Her vocals are most certainly there, but there were some moments that made it seem like her microphone had some interference. 

She got one chair turn, and that was from Jennifer, but could this be a sign that she’s not the best performer? 

Um, yes. 

Rachel Messer (Team Blake) – “I Wanna Be a Cowboy’s Sweetheart”

This small-town girl made her way to L.A. with the aim of making it big. The 19-year-old hit the stage with a song that was perfectly suited to her voice. 

She has the vocal ability, but she needs the star quality and confidence to match it. 

Chevel Shepherd (Team Kelly) –  “If I Die Young”

Chevel was another one who probably shouldn’t have made it through. Her vocals were all over the shop, to the point it seemed like she actually wasn’t going to get a turn. 

Being on Team Kelly, there’s a chance she could switch things up. But if first impressions are everything, then this was not a good start. 

Delaney Silvernell (Team Kelly) – “In My Blood”

Was Monday night the sub-par Blind Auditions, or what? Delaney had a heartwarming story, and she seemed destined for stardom. 

There was nothing remotely memorable about her, and that’s problematic on a show that focuses on viewer votes in addition to judging critiques. 

Anthony Arya (Team Adam), “Danny’s Song”

Anthony struggled a lot with the vocal side of things, but the coaches collectively agreed that he looked like someone who would have a big following. 

Adam seemed to find something to like about the voice since he opted to take him on board. Was it a mistake? 

Time will tell. 

Natasia Greycloud (Team Jennifer) – “I’m Not the Only One”

Natasia was quick to point out that she had been inspired by Kelly, but that didn’t mean she was going on her idol’s team. 

In the end, she wound up on Team Jennifer, and that was probably for the best. She was a fantastic performer, but the true test will be whether the song choices will match her voice.

The Voice Recap: Who Won Night 2 of the Blind Auditions?

The Voice returned Monday with a brand new twist, and some of the best vocalists in the show’s fifteen season history. 

Did Tuesday’s episode manage to keep up the pace? 

Well, there were some excellent performances and some terrible ones. 

Let’s break down the latest string of contestants making their way to the next round. 

Keith Paluso (Team Blake) – “Way Down We Go”

This Kaleo classic is not an easy song to perform by any stretch of the imagination, but 30-year-old park ranger, Keith, made it his own. 

There wasn’t a bad thing to say about the performance. It was flawless and put a new spin on this song that has been used a little too much for emotional scenes on drama series. 

Team Blake should be good to Keith if the song choices are right for him. 

Claire DeJean (Team Kelly) – “Hurt Somebody”

Meh. That’s about all there is to say about this performance. Clair is 17-years-old and teaches acting and dance. 

Her vocals were bland, and there was nothing to really distinguish her from some of the other performers who did not make the cut. 

Kelly took her on, but we think this is going to wind up being a big mistake. 

Franc West (Team Jennifer) – “(Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay”

This was another sub-par performance. This 38-year-old took up singing while he was in the Navy, but he didn’t have the wow factor you expect from the people who advance to the next stage. 

Being on Jennifer’s team, there’s every reason to believe she will do her best to find the right genre of music for him. 

If she does not, he won’t make it very far. 

Michael Lee (Team Blake) – “The Thrill Is Gone”

Michael flew through his performance. It was so fast-paced that it made the judges wonder what the heck was going on. 

But there was a solid voice in there, and one that could be nurtured by spending some time on Team Blake.

Thankfully, he made his way to Mr. Shelton’s country crooner club.
