Dalton Eduardo

She really has this enunciation issue which makes it hard for us to understand the words she is singing. I hope she works on that though because she has a very gorgeous tone. Yeah. I was hoping to get the Toneisha vs. Cedrice or Thunderstorm vs. Mandi C. leak but I guess TPTB wants to pimp a Team Nick knockout this time especially an Allegra performance.

Allegra did great here but I understand the spoiler source who said that this is an Average knockout. Allegra wins this round for me though.

https://youtu.be/Ht51KH_5JAw Allegra Miles vs. Jacob Miller is the leak.

I love how solid Todd is to Team Minivan despite having less pimping from TPTB. I just joined his group page and I was astounded by the fact that 20k + are its members. He really has a lot supporting him on his The Voice journey. I am excited on what he'll be performing next.

1. Todd Tilghman - He's got Josh Kaufman vibe and he puts a great spin on a Travis Tritt song. Definitely a lock for Top 9 or even the finale. 2. Joanna Serenko - Not her best performance but I love her tone so much. I am hoping Blake will have to coach her on minimizing her runs so she'll showcase her vocals even more. 3. Zan Fiscum - Though she really did performed well, you can see her struggling to hit the high notes. Brandi Carlile songs are very hard to cover unless you're on a Janice Freeman (RIP) or Sarah Simmons level. 4. CammWess - I really think he won that round because his voice is so vulnerable and he puts emotion to the song. 5. Joei Fulco - I was expecting her to step up more in the Knockouts, not her best performance but she clearly won the knockout. I hope she sings Fleetwood Mac or Cher songs in the next round. 6. Megan Danielle - She improved a lot in this performance but I certainly don't like her growl, it sets her away from the emotion and the vulnerability of the song. 7. Roderick Chambers - Good tone but still boring to me. 8. Levi Watkins - I definitely think he really did a good job tonight. It's just that his voice is still on the process of developing and puberty has really hit him hard this time. 9. Darious Lyles - Also impressive vocally but I don't see him competing against the frontrunners although he won his knockout round with Mike. 10. Mike Jerel - Singing Bruno Mars' songs is a kiss of death. He struggled hitting some notes and he became an underwhelming artist from his blind audition. 11. Cam Spinks - He was pitchy the whole time. 12. Tate Brusa - His performance was not at all good.

He's going to be a lock for the finale. Loved his performance tonight especially the rasp to his voice and his stage presence.

Joanna won that knockout round for me. It may not be her best performance but she still slayed that song.

Double steal for the last knockout pairing of the night. Wow!

I agree. Blake can easily have Todd T. , Toneisha and Joanna in the finale and Allegra OR Thunderstorm for Team Nick. I still don't see Micah and Megan of Team Kelly as frontrunners though. Team Legend is meh this year because of his terrible decisions although Zan has great potential, but not on Maelyn's level.

I think Megan is going to have the same fate as Brennley Brown. She did great here though. Her story of being left by her father at 7 years old will certainly give an appeal to the audience.

Team Blake is stacked with frontrunners but I think Joei might sneak in as a dark horse and shock us all.

There were 10 runners-up from Team Blake out of 17 seasons. Personally, I think Dia Frampton, Meghan Linsey, Lauren Duski and Ricky Duran should have won their respective seasons. And Kyla Jade for Season 14, who finished 3rd.

Since the winners have already ranked, I would like to know how you'll rank the runners-up as well. Season 1 - Dia Frampton Season 2 - Juliet Simms Season 3 - Terry McDermott Season 4 - Michelle Chamuel Season 5 - Jacquie Lee Season 6 - Jake Worthington Season 7 - Matt McAndrew Season 8 - Meghan Linsey Season 9 - Emily Ann Roberts Season 10 - Adam Wakefield Season 11 - Billy Gilman Season 12 - Lauren Duski Season 13 - Addison Agen Season 14 - Britton Buchanan Season 15 - Chris Kroeze Season 16 - Gyth Rigdon Season 17 - Ricky Duran Discuss.

1. Team John - this team is currently very strong because of Thunderstorm and Joanna. However, as much as how good Zan and Mike are, I don't think they'll go to the level of being frontrunners. This team might be placed at the bottom post-knockouts. 2. Team Blake - more than half of this team is eligible for the finale. This team is a serious threat to others as Blake is becoming more strategic this time with his decisions. Toneisha and Todd T. are clear frontrunners. I also think Joei will surprise us all as the show progresses. 3. Team Nick - going to put this team on third place because of Allegra and Jon. Allegra really has an impressive battle performance but she has to step up more and prove she is not a Brynn Cartelli version 2.0. This team might go up after the knockouts though. 4 Team Kelly - this team has always been weak but she managed to win with mediocre artists. Placing this team last because there were no serious contenders who can compete against the frontrunners from other teams. Kelly might be focusing more on Megan because of her decent battle performance, still not enough to win the whole thing.

Here's my ranking. 1. Chloe Kohanski - Season 13 2. Danielle Bradbery - Season 4 3. Cassadee Pope - Season 3 4. Maelyn Jarmon - Season 16 5. Tessane Chin - Season 5 6. Josh Kaufman - Season 6 7. Sundance Head - Season 11 8. Alisan Porter - Season 10 9. Jordan Smith - Season 9 10. Brynn Cartelli - Season 14 11. Sawyer Fredericks - Season 8 12. Craig Wayne Boyd - Season 7 13. Javier Colon - Season 1 14. Chris Blue - Season 12 15. Jermaine Paul - Season 2 16. Chevel Shepherd - Season 15 17. Jake Hoot - Season 17

Todd T., Toneisha, Joanna, Allegra and Thunderstorm.

I like both versions.. Both are perfect their own ways.

Actually, his "Let It Be" performance redeemed him during the live shows. Katie was given "Lady Marmalade" and that hurt her so much plus she was also given that cringey and terrible "All Better" original song. Ricky managed to sneak in placing 2nd because of good song choices. I don't think "Runnin' Down A Dream" is a bad song, he was just given the first slot which made the performance forgettable by the viewers.

I just wished he had performed songs like this on the show. Songs that shows vulnerability and emotion like "A Woman Like Her" which made #1 on iTunes. He could have easily won over Jake Hoot by slaying the iTunes chart. Unfortunately, Gracee had already performed Landslide on the Wild Card round, so Ricky can no longer perform that song anyway.

Yes. In my opinion, Lauren Duski's version is by far the best. Kelsea Ballerini also has her version at the Grand Ole Opry. I think she (Kelsea) also based her version to Allison Krauss'. I'm excited to listen to Todd singing this song from a male perspective. It feels like forever waiting for another Todd T. performance because I'm rooting for him this season.

Todd is so good here. Good thing he gives a different spin on this song because everytime I got to hear this Shenandoah song, the Lauren Duski version always comes to mind.

Discuss.

Would love to see Joanna, Toneisha, Allegra and Todd T. making it to the finale.
