Team Kelsea lost Jaelen Johnston, Darius J, and Tinika Wyatt, while Team Adam eliminated Britton Moore, Conor James, and Ethan Eckenroad.
Each coach began the night with five artists but was tasked with narrowing their rosters down to just two singers each to advance to the Live Shows. The Playoffs featured no Steals or Saves, and all elimination decisions were made solely by the coaches.
Kelsea Ballerini’s team was mentored by Sheryl Crow, while Adam Levine’s artists were guided by LeAnn Rimes. From Team Kelsea, Iris Herrera secured her spot in the Live Shows with a powerful performance of Chris Stapleton’s “White Horse.”
“Iris, you just did everything that makes you you. You did the best you’ve ever done. You know you’re supposed to be here, and that is such a superpower to have as an artist and as a woman. But you know you belong here.” Ballerini praised.
Alanna Lynise also advanced with her emotional rendition of SZA’s “Nobody Gets Me.” Ballerini said, “Everything she’s shown is top tier, top shelf.”
On Team Adam, Lucia Flores-Wiseman impressed the coaches with her version of The Beatles’ “In My Life.” Adam Levine told her, “Man, Lucia, I’ve never heard anyone like you. All of it is so refreshingly yours. It’s been a beautiful experience working with you. There is just something about Lucia that is singular and on its own level.”
Kolby Cordell also moved forward with his high-energy take on Bruno Mars’ “Finesse.” Levine applauded him, saying, “You’ve just shot up as… the biggest and best on the show.”
John Legend and Michael Bublé’s teams are set to compete in next week’s episode as The Voice Playoffs continue.
