THE STORY SO FAR! After 18
battles, the cream has risen to the top, and the coaches
were picking off castoffs left and right. That leaves
only one coach with one steal. In this final night of
battles, we've saved the best for last. We know Cee Lo
has to pick up one, but WHO?
Here's how it looks SO FAR.

BATTLE ON!
#TEAMCEELO: Jonny Gray vs. Shawn "Big Sexy"
Smith
Austonian Jonny, 29,
takes on New Yorker Shawn, 33 in a battle unlike the
ones that each faced as a member of our fighting forces.
Only one can win this war between the Army and the Air
Force. The song for them... a propos, "Refugee" by Tom
Petty & the Heartbreakers.
Adam thought it was
deceptively hard to sing. Blake... "That was... it
was... Neither one of you held one thing back." Of
course, he sides with Big Sexy. Christina regrets not
hitting for Jonny.
CEE LO CHOOSES: JONNY
#TEAMADAM: Barry Black vs. Preston Pohl
Adam's final pairing pits
American Samoa against Halletsville. Barry came in with
a mouth sax. Preston came in with a past in the church.
Both want to do soul music. They're GOING to go... the
Temptations, "I Wish It Would Rain".
Blake liked the mouth
horn from Barry. So does Christina. Cee Lo says that
Preston sounds like David Ruffin. That's good.
ADAM CHOOSES: PRESTON. In what he calls
"a simple" decision. Cee Lo... is not going to play for Barry.
SPEED UP MODE!
- Team Blake: Holly Henry def. Cilla
Chan. ("Torn" by Natalie Imbruglia) and Brandon Chase def. Emily
Randolph("Tiny Dancer" by Elton John)
- Team Cee Lo: Tamara Shauniece def. Keaira LaShae ("Big Girls Don't
Cry" by Fergie)
Leading to the FINAL BATTLE... and the
final shot at a steal.
#TEAMXTINA: Olivia Henken vs. Stephanie Anne
Johnson
Kentucky chanteuse Olivia
will take on Washington cruise ship singer Stephanie
Anne. Olivia has prepped her entire life for this
moment. Stephanie has been as well. Both bounced from
gig to gig, and both want to be "Done". Actually, no
that's the song they're going to sing, "Done" by the
Band Perry... a nod to Olivia?
Cee Lo says Stephanie
gave the record soul. Adam says Stephanie has grit.
Blake goes with Olivia, saying Stephanie fell out of the
pocket. Adam says Olivia looks like Blake's wife (you
know, Miranda Lambert?).
So now the question...
who will move to the Knockout Rounds... and who is...
well, done?
CHRISTINA CHOOSES: OLIVIA.
And now the big question... Does Cee Lo
use his steal to save Stephanie? YES!
So to review...
