Whats great though and interesting in watching this performance was I didn’t find myself comparing it to that version because it was so wild an different.. You were a little bit nervous.

Before her performance, Blake gave Liz a pep talk, “Its been my goal to bring a country singer into the finals, Blake said of Liz Davis. Every one of your performances is hard, have to soften you up a little. Blake told Liz, McBride is such a powerhouse ballad. You’re hitting the notes during coaching. You’re the only country artist in the competition and that puts added pressure on us.”

After her performance, Liz said, “It felt really good.” Christina said, “You have such a strong solid voice. I’m glad you found such a great home on Blake’s team. It’s such a perfect match and such a perfect fit. Perfect time for that song. Very time appropriate.”

Cee Lo said, “I loved most the intro giving you the space to breathe and showcase your voice. It made me proud to be an American, at least I know I’m free.”

Blake said, “There’s a lot on the line tonight because America votes. You are the only country artist in the entire competition . I want to take one second and thank you for proving me right. Because now I know that you are the right country artist to bring into the live rounds. You did a great job.”

During their coaching session, Blake said of Cassedee, “She has everything it takes to be a superstar in this business. You’ll be shocked at how people pick up on how you sing a song to its original.”

Christina said, “You always have such a pretty tone to your voice. You hit some high notes that surprised me. You were solid. My thoughts about you before is that you need to grow a little bit more in your comfort level. Do your thing because you have it all inside you.”

Cee Lo – “I love what you did to the record because Avril’s approach is more of a dead pan vocal performance, your bravado gives it a lot more vulnerability which makes the song come to life. It’s an angry song. I thought you did a wonderful performance.”

Adam- “I bust your chops about not picking me all the time. Your my poster child of not picking me. When I hear you singing I still want to know who your are. Sometimes it’s a little bit difficult to figure out your identity as a singer. That the only criticism I have.”

Blake – “The good news is that Adam is going to have plenty of time to figure out who that is because I think you’re going to be around for along time. I think everybody is starting to hone in on who you are. If you had any ideas about being a solo artist. You are one of the fan favorites on this show. Guess who makes the decision from here on out? its the fans!”

Watch those dips in the lower register. But, who am I to say, I mean listen to these people in here.”

Christina – “I’ve always enjoyed your singing voice. Its’ solid, It has a really cool tone to it. I think what’s getting everyone excited in the room is that especially as the song built which is really important is that you really owned it. You really loved it. That’s the most passion I’ve seen from you.”

Adam – “I had to do very little honest to God as your coach. You have a comforting way about you. Your energy and the way you perform. It’s really inviting. It’s really hard to teach someone to be that way. But you are that way naturally. The spirit and the and the soulfulness that you sang this song, just locked into this crowd. Loved you so much!”

Julio received the first standing ovation of the night and an eruption from the crowd yelling “Julio!”. Christina said, “I know you made all the Latino people so proud. This is the reason why you are still standing strong in the competition. I loved how you stayed true to yourself. This is what you have to love about Latin people, we are so passionate. It’s just in our blood. I know not everyone could follow along. And the richness of your barvodo, I just loved it!”

Blake- “I don’t know what you’re saying and I think I represent a good deal of the country. Julio had to do is find a way to make everything understand emotionally what’s going on on that stage. I don’t know if you noticed the audience. But, it was pretty good.”
