Michael B. Performs Brandi Carlile's "The Joke" | The Voice Playoffs | NBC

[@michaelbsinging]

It was an honor to get to sing this song!! Thank you so so much for the love🥹🫶

[@bddaws6804]

You did great tonight! You are so good Michael! We need a cd now! Will miss your performances! You always touched my heart with your beautiful voice! You deserved to move on! 😉❤️. Can’t wait to see what’s next for you!

[@ZanOrion]

You knocked it out of the park! Brandy would be proud! So personal, I felt that!!

[@imanapple07]

Keep doing u man, you were one of my favorites this season, ur voice is incredible and I really hope to hear more of your voice in the future ❤️

[@timothybuckles6331]

Should be you and Gina. Keep up with this. You have a gift. Was Niall even awake that day?

[@ashleyrodrigues7348]

[@gailsalvo9727]

I would love to see Michael B. make it to the Broadway stage. He has an amazing voice just made for Broadway!

[@bddaws6804]

If that’s what he wants to do. If you look at some of his previous to the show videos and songs on Spotify he can sing anything. He’s great in any style any genre. Hopefully he will be able to choose from many offers. Heck with his voice why not do everything. Lol.

[@camara1194]

He did Broadway years ago

[@ericawilliams4051]

He reminds me of Ben platt

[@timothybuckles6331]

Michael should have won this whole season. Just with this.

[@NeilSalsich]

This was my favorite performance of the Playoffs. Took my breath away as I watched backstage. Mikey B!!!

[@noivaswright]

Michael B you make me FEEL. Thank you for that. You are a phenomenal vocal talent and I am so glad that I know you, because I want to learn from you. You told the perfect story in this song and I know your future is so bright. Love you man. #Season23

[@vitoborrello980]

How does he not make the finals? I agree one of the best vocalists ever on The Voice. Incredible.

[@marcos7801]

Michael B storytelling and phrasing is so good. Also, both his runs and falsetto voice are insane.

[@o_m8717]

Michael sings with soul and depth. My goodness! Bless your heart. Best cover of Brandi Carlile's song.

[@bddaws6804]

I’m so sorry Michael! This hurts my heart so much! You should have moved on! You are the most talented. Please don’t give up on performing! We need cd’s with that beautiful voice. Know you have tons of fans now that love you! Please let us know what the future holds! 😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@JulioMartinez-pc8pc]

Seems to be the pattern the last few years, the actual best don’t make it all the way 😢

[@bddaws6804]

@@JulioMartinez-pc8pc I know Julio. It’s not right. I have almost decided not to watch anymore because of it. So unfair. I have a feeling Michael was dropped because he was so good they didn’t think the other contestants could compete with him. Got that idea by hearing the coaches talk after his performance. So unfair to Michael. He deserved so much to go on.

[@Jaydan811]

It's unbelievable that he was sent home. He's voice is so amazing.

[@darlenesingleton2827]

My heart is broken that he didn't go through!!!! That's the end of my watching this season!!! Loved your performance Michael!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@bddaws6804]

Mine too Darlene. I am still upset about it. He so deserved a shot at winning. That young man is a star!

[@BlueLady-r5f]

So totally agree!!

[@mmatlouprudencemoloto7063]

This was so emotional. when kelly stood up, i was feeling it too. Damn!

[@aim22708]

Michael B I loved your voice more than anyone else's this season and have rewatched your battle and knockout a million times...keep going man, would be blessed to hear more from you please 🙏

[@teresaj5970]

I agree.

[@ashleyrodrigues7348]

My heart hurts for Michael! He was my top favorite 😭😭

[@ChrisMcKee087]

Niall seriously had 3 people on his team that should win the show this season. Tough for Michael B because he deserved to get to the finals, but I can’t fault him for the choice when Ryley and Gina are there as well.

[@Kymaad]

He didn’t… he was pitchy and reaaaally messy this day

[@rainedyani8505]

LOVED Michael B and I’m in shock that he went home. 😞 His style and tone was extraordinary and I hope GREAT THINGS come his way. ❤️🔥✨

[@LauraAshley567]

I FREAKIN LOVE HIS TONE

[@nowelito]

This was a winning performance already. This version has been playing on repeat on my device and I still feel every word as it is sung. Phenomenal performance.

[@johnrose2348]

Damn, you killed that Michael........ that was fantastic.

[@thisisbubblegumx]

This was one of the best performances of anything @michaelbsinging! Thank you for singing it and being so vulnerable, It was not only vocally phenomenal but incredibly touching 👏👏👏

[@karenabbott104]

Wow, an amazing finale worthy performance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Musically and emotionally moving - WOW WOW WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Greatly talented!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@pretzelsfan]

he's prob the most surprising contestant of the season...

[@keyondavis7241]

I don’t know how I feel about this song for him but he had one of my favorite tones of the season. Sad to see him go

[@marietamota4251]

For me the best of this season, because in addition to an excellent voice, he sings with emotion. This interpretation touched my heart ❤👏🏆

[@andreatrujillo5491]

BRAVO TO YOU MICHAEL, SO PROUD OF YOU! YOUR TALENT IS INCREDIBLE AS A SINGER AND YOUR VOICE IS MAGICAL AND BEYOND BEAUTIFUL. FOR EVERY DOOR THAT CLOSES ANOTHER ONE OPEN'S, IN YOUR CASE MANY WILL WELCOME YOUR TALENT. WITH ❤ AND ADMIRATION. 👏 👏 👏 🌟 🌈 👏 👏 👏

[@xkastl3z]

It was a real honor to watCh this young man this season, I am so sad he wasn't chosen! I hope we all hear from Michael and his music soon cause I have no doubts he just became a star during his time on The Voice!

[@jfbalagosa2715]

Niall’s team is such a powerhouse. You are amazing Michael!

[@jeanettemorrow946]

Keep going Michael. The best singer I have ever heard on the voice.

[@jenniferlicari6544]

I want Michael b why nail Why I got the chills n cried after that preformance n can’t believe he isn’t gojj in big through

[@nikhilnaik8314]

Sometimes you don't need to have powerful voice but just to sing with passion and emotions to emote the message very well with that soft voice.

[@adityafajarpratama9273]

I think the problem we have this season is the very short live weeks. Imagining if the live show consists 1 or 2 weeks longer, he migh be moving on into the live team. He is such a great singer!

[@inmyopinionnnn-z5n]

One of the best!!

[@ladyofsaints8782]

Such a great talent! Effortless anointed voice

[@Delited2bme]

Wow! Even got a little soul sound out of him. I really like him. He would be able to work with many hit making producers.

[@yoharasmith7683]

Outstanding, oh wow...I cannot believe one of the most consistent singers this season...an his not in the semi- finale.very wrong... well done Michael B❤

[@lauraperdomo9095]

I Michael B.'s voice. The kind of voice that makes you feel like you are home, safe. Like a best friend telling everything is goibg to be fine. I hope he gets offers to be in musical theater bc he would crush it!! Very best wishes M.B. Thanx for sharing your gift with us❤❤❤.

[@kall4less]

Breathtaking! Outstanding performance.

[@sikavik]

This was a really touching and powerful performance. His voice is beautiful.

[@daisylincolns6864]

this song is a monster and brandi is incredible. it’s hard for this not to fall a bit flat in comparison. but he’s an amazing singer and i would have liked to see more from him

[@JanS-iu1ot]

Big voice with a big Message

[@annsumrall2593]

Bone chilling voice. YOU ROCK

[@danerdanes1544]

Holy smokes. The talent on this season is unreal.

[@susannaaurelio3160]

Omg i felt that!

[@PiknikfunNefavorite]

I can’t believe he didn’t make it through. What a voice❤

[@Shapeshifter7777]

Brilliant !!!!!! Loved this. They should have allowed 3 artists from each team and then left the rest to the public. I guarantee he would have made it to at least top 5 if not the finals. That is such a monster of a song. So hard to do !!!!

[@cindyw.6841]

I looked forward to watching you sing every week. Awesome, beautiful voice. Please put out an album.

[@copperpenny0209]

Another fantastic song choice, execution. and performance. Nice!!!

[@Snapdragon07]

Awesome Awesome Awesome!!!! Michael, you sang this song beautifully!!!

[@sandrawilcox8201]

Fantastic!! You are the only artist I've stuck with since the blind audition.

[@annemieke123]

Wow.. this is so good and so beautiful. I can't put it in words but it feels like he brings music to a whole other level. It's beyond! So unique.❤

[@jenniferlicari6544]

Let everyone pik one more person for lives come on!

[@shampade]

MY gosh !! That was sensational

[@userunknown1578]

He probably would have made it to the Top 8 if Gina hadn't come out of nowhere to give the performance she did tonight. He's so good though.

[@NullError404Failure]

Out of nowhere? Where u been

[@userunknown1578]

​@ravuthlong1048 Her performances have been middle of the pack so far... She didn't outperform Kala by any measure in the Battles and Kate had arguably the better performance in the Knockouts. Ryley has been the only guaranteed contender for Niall while everyone else on his team were on an even playing field going into tonight.

[@jamesAGarfield608]

​@@userunknown1578 I agree with u Ryley honestly is the only one I have left that stood out for me threw out this hole season is meh at best they got rid of Neil and Alex had COVID so he went home do to withdraw and those 2 were my other top 3 to make it to finals...

[@bddaws6804]

For some reason Gina never stood out at all for me. Certainly not better than Michael B. Rylie is good but I don’t really get excited about seeing his performances like I did with Michaels. I wouldn’t rush out to buy a cd of Rylie or Gina I don’t think. I will definitely buy a Michael B cd. Michael Bs singing just touches my heart in some way.

[@evelynrizare2985]

I Love his voice❤

[@lisasimpson6490]

Micheal B you have a beautiful voice keep up the great work

[@susannaaurelio3160]
