Michael Bublé expressed his admiration immediately, noting, “You guys are so cute together,” before sharing his thoughts on their performances. He praised Alanna’s ethereal and sweet voice while highlighting Brook’s impressive clarity, particularly during powerful moments. Ultimately, he favored Brook, declaring, “Today, I felt the battle was won by Brook.”
John Legend found himself in a similar quandary, caught between the allure of Alanna’s tone and the captivating presence of Brook. He complimented Alanna’s unique voice and noted its potential for recording, but also pointed out some pitch inconsistencies. On Brook, he remarked on her powerful delivery but admitted he enjoyed Alanna’s tone a bit more, humorously stating, “So, my God, that’s so unhelpful. None of this is helpful. I’m really sorry.”
The final decision fell to Ballerini, who displayed clear conflict in her choice. “Alanna, your voice — there’s so much nuance to it, and I feel like we were really able to see that in the verses, and, yes, there were pitch issues. That’s fine. It’s okay. It happens,” she acknowledged. “Brook, you’re just such a powerhouse. You are going to be an artist no matter what.”
In an unexpected turn of events, Ballerini selected Alanna for the next round, eliminating Brook. This decision shocked not only Brook but also the other coaches, as Brook’s strong performance had set high expectations. Ballerini’s faith in Alanna’s emotional depth and artistic potential ultimately prevailed, illustrating that sometimes, artistry can overshadow sheer vocal power.
