As he puts it, Tyke is just a force.
Whatever it is, hes got it.
Adam tries to steal his own cast-off back, though, and Keith is surprisingly not having it.
When given the option to head off to yet another new team withKelly Clarkson, he takes it.
Hey, team-hopping has worked well enough for him so far, hasnt it?
Winner: Tyke JamesSteal: Keith Paluso to Team Kelly.
Team Kelly: Kymberli Joye vs. Zaxai vs. Natasia Greycloud
Well, this is different.
Kymberli Joye goes first and does what Kymberli Joye does.
From there, she sails along with her roof-pounding upper register and massive mid-voice.
Her spot in the next round of this thing is secured from the first note of the chorus.
Winner #1: Kymberli JoyeWinner #2: ZaxaiSteal: Natasia Greycloud to Team Blake.
Hes still a good singer, but this song has obviously just gotten away from him.
The performance is so sugary that it even gives Kelly Clarkson a leg cramp.
Its an easy decision for JHud to make, really.
Winner: MacKenzie ThomasSteal: N/A.
When Reagan takes the stage, though, its something special.
At just 14, shes got more self-possession than half the competitors out here.
On top of that, her tones are no joke.
Winner: Reagan StrangeSteal: Radha saved for Team Adam.
You might say hes earned it (too easy, sorry).
Winner: FunshoSteal: N/A.
Afterward, Sandyredd comes along and puts on ashow, per usual.
Winner: Patrique FortsonSteal: Sandyredd stays on Team Jennifer.
