MAELYN JARMON (Team Legend) Maelyn Jarmon from Team Legend was up first.  After her performance, Adam’s reaction was that Blake has three people out of four, “I love to hate on Blake, but his is NOT that moment.”  He thinks that Maelyn is the person “to be winning this thing.” stated Adam.  Legend said it’s a perfect song choice for her “it was flawless” and she performed it with so much energy.  

ANDREW SEVENER (Team Blake) Blake said he’s attracted to Andrew’s voice and personality.  Andrew performed “Right Now” song with coach Blake Shelton.

DEXTER ROBERTS (Team Blake) Dexter is from Alabama.  Blake said the thing that struck him was Dexter’s ridiculous voice.  Dexter said he wanted to show America that he can sing more than Country when he sang Three Doors Down last week.  Dexter stated that it will take “something big” for him to win.  Blake said Dexter pours his heart and soul into it and this song gives him the opprotunity. He sang “Anything Goes.”  Dexter said he got thee chairs and hopefully this song wins him the show.  Blake compared him to Country star Ronnie Milsap.

Kelly said she loves him “in this vain.”  There’s not a lot of singers that sing like him that sound like Country.  Adam reacted that they all love him from the beginning.  “It doesn’t matter what kind of music you’re into,  greatness is greatness.”  Blake said that was the perfect song choice for you for this finale.  He pours his heart and soul into every performance and called him like “the next George Strait up there.”

Kelly said it’s the line between old Country and new Country.  “It’s a really cool sound for you.  If you did it you should make more.”  John said he grew-up in Ohio and “I can relate to all this stuff,” he said.  Blake reacted that Andrew and him talked and said hoped he likes this song, “because you’re going to be singing if for the rest of your life.”

GYTH RIGDON (Team Blake) Gyth is from Lousiana from a small horse town.  Gyth said it’s hard to make dreams happen from a small town “but it’s not impossible.”   Blake’s first impression of Gyth was that he was desperate to get him on his Team because he thinks he can win.  Blake Blocked John Legend from Gyth in the Blinds. Gyth said Blake was his first concert.  Leaf Greenwood Tweeted Gyth on his performance last week.  This week, Gyth sang “Once in a Blue Moon” by Earl Thomas Conely.  The pressure was on to sing his coache’s idol’s song.   The singer passed away recenlty and Blake thinks the fan base will appreciate Gyth singing this song.  Blake said Gyth fits in with the new generation of Country artists whom he connects with and can definitly see him winning.

Kelly said it’s her favorite song and loves Earl Thomas Conely who’s a legend in Country music.  John said that song was really challenging and it was a really great performance.  Blake said he knows the Country music fanbase and Earl Thomas’ family is so proud that he did that song and honored him tonight.  They only lost him 4-5 weeks ago.  Blake finished, “way to honor a Country music hero.”

DEXTER ROBERTS (Team Blake) Dexter sang a brand new orginal song.  He said a long time ago he was going to give-up on music.  Dexter sang “Looking Back” song.   Blake said on an original song to make sure it lands directly in Dexter’s wheelhouse.  Blake predicted that Dexter’s going to be singing the song years to come.

After his performance, Dexter got a standing ovation from Kelly and Blake.  Kelly said she wanted him in the Blinds and she loves Dexter’s voice.  “I think you’re so so talented” and called him “authentic, not calculated,” stated Kelly. Who also added, “I think it will read through to the people in voting.”  Adam said it looks like he’s coming into his own at the perfect time and he’s “a solid human being” and “a fantastic artist.”  Blake said “I absolutely believe you’re 100 percent ready right now” to make an album with that song.  He said he’s the most ready out of everybody.  

After the commercial break, the team from “Songland” came onto “The Voice” to promote their show which John Legend will be part of in the first episode.

ANDREW SEVENER (Team Blake) Blake said the first time he started singing, he felt like he knew Andrew. Blake said the cool thing is that Andrew knows what drives him.  He’s Rock/Country.  Blake said every song that Andrew does, pushes him just a little bit. Blake said people put him into the fianle because people bought into who he is.  This is his last time.  Blake loved the song choice which is rock, but leans Country.  He said he has a rock edge like Travis Tritt.   Andrew said he wanted to take a vunuerlable approach to the song.  Andrew said if Blake didn’t have the slightest belief in him, his life would be totally different.  

Standing ovation from coaches.  Kelly screamed “that was so good…that was great!”  She finished that, that was her favorite from Andrew.  John said if he had to pick from Team Blake, he’d pick Andrew.  Blake told Andrew “this is your night…you’re killing it dude.”   Blake stated that Andrew is having “a break-out night” and what a perfect night for doing it.

Dexter and Blake sang “Hard Working Man” by Brooks & Dunn.  

GYTH RIGDON (Team Blake) Gyth had his personal debut song on “The Voice” stage that he wrote.  He said he’ll get to see the song “Proof I Always Loved You” come to life in front of 15 million people.  He believes everyone was born with a soul mate that they already love and that’s what his song is about.  He wrote it when him and his wife just began to date.  “Words just flew onto the paper,” said Gyth.  Blake said he’ll get it on iTunes.  

Kelly said that’s just another layer to him as an artist and she’s excited for him.  “That’s a stellar moment to showcase it (songwriting).  Adam said Gyth really does have it all.  Said he was born to be here in this moment.  dam stated it’s evident that Gtyh is “a major contender” all the best to you.”  Coach Blake said it’s not just another LAYER, he added another level to the finale.  Gyth raised the bar…”Gyth wrote that song.  That was a great song  Your’e the total package.  You can win this thing,” Blake told Gyth.

MAELYN JARMON (Team Legend) John called Maelyn “pitch percise” more than any other singer on the show.  Daly cited the Cold Play song as Maelyn’s “crystalized moment.”  John said she puts her own spin on everything she does.  She sang “Hallelujah”  song to go against Team Blake.  Maelyn said the word “hallelujah” is also longing and regret.  Maelyn thought about when she was struggling playing bars in New York, working as a waitress to pay for a box to live in with roaches, she stated.  John said he knows what it’s like to be a struggling artist in New York. John said Maelyn was his first artist and thinks she’ll get first place in “The Voice.”
