Kelly Clarkson faces 'toughest decision' on 'The Voice' 2023
The tension in the air was palpable as the contestants of Team Kelly Clarkson took to the stage for the Knockout rounds of 'The Voice'. Holly Brand and Rachel Christine were two of the most talented singers on the team, and they were going head-to-head for a spot in the Playoffs. Holly started the proceedings with a stunning rendition of Patsy Cline's classic hit 'Blue Moon of Kentucky.' She began with a soulful acapella verse that showcased her incredible range and control before launching into the rollicking beat of the song. Her performance was electrifying, and she ended with a breathtaking whistle tone that left the audience in awe.
Rachel was up next with a 70's classic, Fleetwood Mac's 'Rhiannon.' She may not have been as flashy as Holly, but her unique deep tone and phrasing carried the performance. She put her own spin on the song, adding her own flourishes to make it her own. As the judges weighed in, Blake couldn't help but express his frustration with the Knockout rounds. He praised Holly for her yodel and "awesome control of it" and complimented Rachel on her ambitious song choice, saying, "You sang the crap out of it and found some notes that were different from the record."
Chance the Rapper was blown away by both performances, but Holly's ability to stay on the pitch while singing acapella and hitting the whistle note at the end left him speechless. He called it a "crazy cherry on top." Rachel's performance also impressed him, and he told her she had done a great job of coming back on his radar. Niall Horan confessed to being a fan of Holly's from day one and praised her for smashing it out of the park. He also commended Rachel for her ability to change things up and called her performance "bulletproof." Niall joked about Holly's outfit and sparkly boots, saying he would look like Rob Gronkowski if he wore them.
'Blake is kicking himself. Kelly is gonna win with her'
"Team Kelly is a sure-shot winner this season," exclaimed the fans, with many speculating that Blake must be regretting not picking Kelly during the blind auditions. One fan emphasized, "Holly is amazing, but her biggest flaw, and a reason she probably won't win it all, is not being on Blake's team." Meanwhile, Kelly's reaction to Blake's decision was not lost on the audience. "The look Kelly gives Blake @0:14 is her being like 'you messed up big time' not turning for her in the blinds," another fan pointed out. Blake's expression, too, spoke volumes, as one fan remarked, "That look on Blake's face says it all." Some even resorted to humor, as one fan joked, "Kelly to Blake rn - Now u're just somebody that I used to know." The YouTube early release was flooded with similar comments, with viewers saying, "Blake must be regretting big time now!" and "LOL this is what happens when you do not trust your instincts."
Holly Brand vs Rachel Christine: Who won?
As the tension reached its peak on the singing reality show, Kelly found herself in a quandary as she had to choose between two exceptionally talented singers. She admitted that this was "the toughest one" yet, and the weight of her decision was palpable. Both singers had brought their A-game, and it was clear that they had worked tirelessly to impress the judges and the audience alike. However, the moment of truth arrived, and Kelly had to make a decision. After much deliberation, she finally made her choice, and the winner was none other than Holly. The joy on Holly's face was evident as she was overwhelmed with emotion and gratitude for the opportunity. But the show was far from over, as Blake still had his trump card to play - his last-ever steal. With only one steal remaining, Blake knew that he had to use it wisely. And after much consideration, he decided to use it on Rachel, who had put up an impressive performance but had unfortunately missed out on being chosen by Kelly.
