VIDEO: Mathai – Cowboy Casanova On The Voice
While she isn’t the most country of the contestants, Team Adam Levine member Mathai chose to cover Carrie Underwood‘s “Cowboy Casanova” as her last-chance song last night on The Voice. The last chance song is performed live in front of the four coaches to try and convince their team’s coach to pick them to save from elimination.

The Voice: Team Blake Recap – Week 10
Let’s catch up with Team Blake!
Last week on The Voice was an emotional time for Coach Blake Shelton and the contestants with two eliminations.
RaeLynn, Jordis, Erin, and Jermaine took the stage last Monday giving us some great performances. At the end of the show, however, Blake had to make an elimination live on the spot. He decided to let the previous rounds’ votes dictate the outcome and let Jordis go home. That left RaeLynn, Erin, and Jermaine to compete for America’s votes.
On last Tuesday’s results show, it was announced that Jermaine was the highest vote-getter for Team Blake. RaeLynn and Erin were in jeopardy and both had to perform for their life. It was a tough decision for Blake, but he chose to save Erin.
And then there were two….
Tune in next Monday on NBC at 8/7c to support Jermaine & Erin. Go Team Blake!

Blake Shelton: Adam Levine Isn’t Making Right Choices
In an interview with OK! Magazine, Blake Shelton admitted that he doesn’t have much faith in coach Adam Levine‘s choices on The Voice this season. Blake believes that Adam’s ego from winning the first season is getting in the way of making the decisions Blake thinks he should have been making.
“Adam’s winning just because he can say he won last year. I’m not saying that I am going to win this year, but I don’t think that Adam is going to win this year.”
Blake, who is never one to shy away from saying what he thinks, continues:
“Now he’s inside of his own, he thinks he knows it all, all of a sudden because he won last year, he’s making really bad, really bad decisions for his team I want to go on record saying I think Adam is making really bad coaching decisions.”
What do you think? Are you on Blake’s side and think that Adam’s team doesn’t have a shot to win this year? Or do you think that Adam’s team will earn the crown for the second year in a row?

NBC just sent us over these clips from Team Blake Shelton from after The Voice last night. See their reactions to Twitter, last night’s eliminations, and last night’s performances below.

Song Support: Nicolle Galyon Backs RaeLynn On “The Voice” With Her Voice
Shortly after Nicolle Galyon left The Voice, we asked her who she would be supporting on the show. The singer/songwriter admitted she’s a fan of all the contestants, but her loyalties lay with RaeLynn.
It’s one thing to say you’re supporting somebody, but Nicolle’s taking it to another level by singing about her! The former member of Team Adam posted the song “California” on her Facebook page with the caption: “Any guess who this was written about??” (If the lyrics don’t give it away, the link to The Voice voting page and the request for folks to vote for RaeLynn certainly do!)
You can hear the song below and also get a free download of it here.
Actually, the song has a double-shot of support from former contestants on The Voice. Hailey Steele from the country duo The Line (formerly on Team Christina) sings the background vocals on the song.

Team Blake did a great job, and came out ready to win.

EXCLUSIVE: Nicolle Galyon After “The Voice”
Nicolle Galyon may not have won her Battle Round on The Voice, but as you will see, she leaves the show as a winner on so many levels.
The country music singer/songwriter was paired with Mathai for her Battle Round. Coach Adam Levine chose “Love Song” by Sara Bareilles for their battle. The song was tailor-made for the piano-playing Galyon, who lists Bareilles as one of her influences. Everything seemed to be going her way with a perfect song and Levine even saying she could play her piano during the battle.
Then the day before the battle, Levine shook things up by taking the piano out. We will never know if things may have been different had she been allowed to battle from behind her Baldwin. As it turned out, the other three coaches all felt Mathai not only sang better, but also had a more polished performance. Levine agreed, ending Nicolle’s adventure on The Voice.
We caught up with her a few days after her elimination aired to discuss her Battle Round, her upcoming projects and the moment that finally brought her to tears. Continue reading to learn how the 27-year-old native from Sterling, Kansas is on the rise both personally and professionally.
The Voice: Team Blake Recap – Week 8
And there you have it…
The Voice‘s battle rounds are now complete, and six members from each team are moving on to the live shows.
As we already know, Team Blake consists of RaeLynn, Jordis, Charlotte Sometimes, Erin Willett, Jermaine Paul… and tonight Naia Kete was added to the group!
Coach Blake Shelton paired Naia up against country boy, Jordan Rager. The amazingly talented Kelly Clarkson and Miranda Lambert were there once again to help mentor the team.
For the battle, Naia and Jordan performed Jason Mraz’s “I’m Yours.” As the coaches pointed out, we have seen better from both contestants and their full skills were not on display this round. When it was time for Blake to make a decision, he decided to advance Naia to the live shows.
