Battle Rounds 1
October 14
THE STORY SO FAR! From pop tarts to rock gods, amateurs to veterans, they came by the thousands, covering every part of the nation from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from Canada to Mexico, and all points in between, and even some points beyond. They all have one goal, to win the hearts of America and be crowned "The Voice".

But first... they will have to do battle.

The coaches will select their lineups, train them with the help of some superstar advisors (Cher for Blake, Miguel for Cee-Lo, Ryan Tedder for Adam, and Ed Sheeran for Christina), and then send them to battle, where one of them will advance to Knockout Rounds. The other may yet get a second shot, because the Steal option is in play for the coaches who are not involved in the Battle. They can only steal TWO vocalists, so they have to figure out when it is in their best interest to use them. And anyone can opt to steal at any time. If two or more coaches use their steal, they will have to fight for the artist's approval.

At the end of this phase, only 32 will move forward to face your votes. Time to sing like every note will be your last. Because it just might be. BATTLE ON!

#TEAMADAM: Grey vs. Nic Hawk

Grey, 25, is a wedding singer from Jacksonville, while Nic, 26, is a musical theatre veteran from Dallas. Their opening gambit is... "Domino" by Jessie J, a former coach from "The Voice UK". Would that she were here right now to bear witness.

Blake thinks that Nic is "priceless" and it's impossible not to get wrapped up in it. Christina thought that Nic was infectious, and that Grey added balance. Cee Lo is partial to Nic.

ADAM CHOOSES: GREY

Now will anyone decide to steal Nic away to their team? "Oh Adam, you screwed up so BAD!" BLAKE STEALS!

#TEAMXTINA: Amber Nicole vs. Timyra-Joi

Amber Nicole, 17, hails from Houston, while Timyra-Joi, 15, comes from just down the 5, San Diego. Both of them are big-voiced belters connected in some way to a vocal coach. Hopefully they've put in enough time to put their all in ... "Listen" by Beyonce.

Both drove Christina to tears, calling both of them vocal beasts. Cee Lo called it "unbelievable", but gives it to Timyra. Adam thought she was nervous, but afterwards, bigger than her body gives her credit. This was a "legitimate battle" TO THE DEATH.

CHRISTINA CHOOSES: AMBER

Will Timyra's loss be another coach's gain? We've listened... it's a no.

#TEAMBLAKE: Justin Chain vs. Shelbie Z

It's a pair of Alabama outlaw country singers with Justin, 23, from Fort Payne vs. Shelbie, 21, from Jasper. Determination led both to Blake, but only one can survive battling out with "Don't You Wanna Stay" by Jason Aldean featuring Kelly Clarkson.

Christina thought that Shelbie Z won, though the melodies blended perfectly. Cee Lo agreed. Adam said that it felt more like a performance than a battle. He could not focus on separation. If he had to make a choice, he'd pick Justin.

BLAKE CHOOSES: SHELBIE Z

And unfortunately, we're breaking out of this Chain.

#TEAMCEELO: Anthony Paul vs. Caroline Pennell

A pair of teenager dreamers, 18-year-old Anthony from Ohio, and 17-year-old Caroline from New Jersey. Anthony was coming out of show choir in high school, while Caroline broke out on the Voice stage. It looks as this battle is stilted to Anthony, but what about "As Long As You Love Me" by Justin Bieber. Who will Cee Lo love after this?

Cee Lo says that this is perhaps the most uncomfortable moment for him...

CEE LO CHOOSES: CAROLINE. And guess what, Anthony? CHRISTINA CHOOSES YOU!

#TEAMADAM: Donna Allen vs. Tessanne Chin

Adam's first battler, a 54-year-old from Hollywood, FL, and a 28-year-old from Kingston, Jamaica. Donna has worked with Gloria Estefan. Tessanne is a relative neophyte who managed to turn all four chairs. Both of them are going to take on Emeli Sande's "Next To Me".

Blake thought it was epic and full of rasp and range. He gives it to Donna. Christina disagrees, giving it to Tessanne. Cee Lo was attracted to Tess' finesse.

ADAM CHOOSES: TESSANNE

And the coaches fail to pick up Donna. Back to Florida.

#TEAMXTINA: Briana Cuoco vs. Jacquie Lee

One's a 24-year-old pop singer from LA. The other is a 16-year-old R&B singer from Jersey. Briana thinks that talent runs in the family (again, her sister is Kaley). Jacquie thinks she's every bit the singer and even more the person than Briana is. They will go at it in the ring with "House of the Rising Sun" by the Animals.

Perhaps the most intense battle of the night. Cee Lo called it amazing, saying that Jacquie brought youth to an old record. If Adam had to choose right now... he couldn't. Blake gave it to Briana, who captured the essence of the song. But the final decision is Christina's.

CHRISTINA CHOOSES: JACQUIE... and don't look now, but the OTHERS want a piece of the Briana action! So now it's up to her.

BRIANA CHOOSES.... BLAKE! Hard to lose out on someone TWICE... Cee Lo.

So to review...
