Last night (10/31) the Knockout Rounds wrapped up on season 11 of The Voice and Blake Shelton has Team Blake ready for the live shows that begin next week.
There were just a little more than a handful of battles in the Knockouts left to air and Blake Shelton had two of those. The first pair up for Team Blake was Austin Allsup and Gabe Broussard.
Austin chose to sing the song “Breakdown” by Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers. The style of the song really fit his vocal sound and abilities.
Gabe decided to perform the Bruno Mars song “It Will Rain.” His voice was really fitted to the song and again he showed ability beyond his 15-year-old age.
Blake ultimately decided to take the more seasoned performer to the live shows on Team Blake and chose to keep Austin on his team moving forward.
Blake’s final Knockout pairing was Dana Harper and stolen artist Karlee Metzger.
Dana picked the song “You Give Me Something” by James Morrison for her performance. She really showed her vocal abilities on the song as well as her stage presence in her performance.
Karlee had plenty of stage presence in her performance of her chose song “Invincible” by Kelly Clarkson. However, the song may have limited her ability to show off the full range of her voice.
Blake made the tough decision to keep Dana on Team Blake for the live shows.
