We begin the final battles with...
#TEAMSHAKIRA: Brandon Roush vs. Shawna P
It's youth vs. experience. Brandon works
with autistic children. Shawna P found herself with the Muzik Mafia. A
couple of really hungry singers from the southland, but who will get the
better of this battle? We'll open the round with "Piece Of My Heart" by
Janis Joplin. It's perfect for Shawna, but Brandon? Seeing a lot of
Janis in Shawna is freaking him out.
Adam thought it was very fun. Usher took
notice of both combatant's voices. Shawna's pitch is perfect, while
Brandon had a lot of passion.
SHAKIRA CHOOSES: Shawna
It's up to Usher now to save Brandon...
He does not.
#TEAMADAM: Duncan Kamakana vs. Sarah Simmons
One Hawaiian native who turned Adam's
chair, and one ha'o'le from Tennessee who turned all four chairs.
They'll be singing "Wanted You More" by ... Lady Antebellum. Relevant in
that Adam's assistant is Hilary Scott OF Lady Antebellum. Duncan has the
"hot guy with guitar" vibe, while Sarah has the voice to compete. Who
will carry the day?
Blake says that Sarah is one of his
favorites. Usher's in awe over Duncan's confidence, but Sarah wooped the
room up.
ADAM CHOOSES: Sarah
Will Usher save Duncan, or is he going to
be saying aloha? Aloha.
In Fast Forward...
- Michelle Chamuel d. Chelsea M in
"Titanium" for Team Usher
- In Team Adam, Amy Whitcomb d. Agina Alvarez in "Heartbreaker".
- Team Blake battle: "Easy" is the song, and Justin Rivers d. the Morgan
Twins
Blake and Adam's teams are complete. All
that's left is one battle and one steal.
#TEAMSHAKIRA: Cáthia vs. Mary Miranda
Both of Shakira's heaviest Latin heavies
are going at it. We have the Bronx vs. Havana, Cuba. Their song... one
of Shakira's old songs, "Antes de las Seis (Before 6)". Mary doesn't
know it as well as Cáthia does, and that may put her at a disadvantage.
No mercy will be held by Shakira... or Joel Madden.. or anyone else for
that matter.
Adam thought both were amazing, but
chooses Mary. Blake loved every syllable of it, but he likes Cáthia.
Usher... fires Shakira up. You never fire up a Latin woman. No.
SHAKIRA CHOOSES: Mary
That was the final battle. If Usher is to
steal another singer, it would be right now.
... like I said, right now...
RiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiightNOW!
Just as Cáthia was about to walk off the stage, too!
And with that, the final teams are set.
So let it be written... So let it be done.
