'The Voice' Season 18: Tayler Green earns a standing ovation but Kelly shockingly picks Micah Iverson
Team Kelly is up next with Micah Iverson and Tayler Green.
Micah Iverson's song choice for the Knockout round stunned Kelly Clarkson. He announced he would be taking on 'Graveyard' by Halsey which is very different from what he normally does. Guest coach James Taylor helped him work more on making the vibe darker, which, as Kelly pointed out, is very trendy right now.
Fans were already losing their minds due to Micah's song choice, tweeting "MICAH IS GONNA SING GRAVEYARD ON #VoiceKnockouts I AM GONNA LOSE MY SH*T"
Tayler Green, Micah's competitor, was singing 'Time After Time' by Cyndi Lauper. She dedicated it to her family who have stood by her, time after time. Kelly advised her to get the music to slow down more so that Tayler gets enough space to really let her vocals shine.
Micah was up first and delivered a wonderfully smooth performance. One fan stated, "@micahciverson Sounds so good!! I am loving this performance #VoiceKnockouts," while another tweeted, " #VoiceKnockouts Micah was awesome! He sounded so good!"
Hearing him fans were already predicting he was the winner of the battle even before Tayler sang her part. Tayler, however, blew the judges away. She stepped up and earned a standing ovation from the coaches.
A fan said, "#VoiceKnockouts Taylor slayed that song," and another tweeted, " I would say that Tayler won this knockout! #VoiceKnockouts"
"U gotta pick Taylor!!!!!! U gotta pick Taylor!!!!!!" tweeted one fan, while another praised her, "#VoiceKnockouts That was a beautiful rendition of Time After Time. Killer coaching job!"
And one fan put it perfectly, stating "#CONGRATS its gonna be a hard decision@kellyclarkson #VoiceKnockouts"
When it came to the panel, Blake Shelton picked Tayler, stating she had more room with her song choice to showcase her vocals. John Legend agreed, stating Tayler's performance was mesmerizing. Nick Jonas also agreed, stating the song choice was clearly an issue.
Kelly, however, pulled a surprise, she said she's going with a gut feeling, and chose Micah, stating she was more confident in him going forward in the competition. And her choice has garnered some mixed reactions.
One viewer tweeted, "Oh huh I think you made a mistake tayler won that round. But I do believe Micah is good. I wish you well," while another stated, "That was the worst decision you've made ever on the voice. Taylor is the REAL DEAL and could have WON this season for you. I'm SMFH." One fan tweets, "I can't believe you didn't pick Taylor. Ugh. Not happy."
Others, however, tweeted "#VoiceKnockouts you made the right choice with Micka," and said "Go Team kelly with Micah. Dude is special. Right choice@kellyclarkson #VoiceKnockouts."
