Battle Rounds 3 October 20 |
||||||||
Last month, millions of
Americans watched as four pop titans whittled their
teams to the final 12. Now each of them are going to go
to battle, and with the Steal option in play, it's still
anyone's game. Welcome to the Battle Rounds!
A reminder of the rules. Two singers from the same team will perform the same song in tandem. The coach will then decide which singer to keep. They move on to the Knockouts, while the other singer is available for the other coaches to steal. Each coach can steal TWICE, so it's up to them to use their power wisely. So far, Adam is the only one yet to steal a singer, while Pharrell has used both of his steals. By the end of tonight, we will start to see what your teams will look like. To help them make a decision, each coach will enlist another: - ADAM: rock'n'roll queen
Stevie Nicks Artists... PREPARE FOR BATTLE! #TEAMADAM: Damien vs. Kelli Douglas LA-based TSA officer Damien survived a life-threatening ordeal, then turned all four chairs. Single mom Kelli wanted to leave teaching behind for music. Together, they'll open the show with "Knock on Wood" by Otis Redding & Carla Thomas. Blake says this is going to come down to "a matter of taste" for Adam. Pharrell thought it was a throwback to the 60s. Gwen was... distracted by Kelli's body. ADAM PICKS: Damien. He is immersed in the song, but will someone immerse themselves in Kelli? My guess is Gwen. My guess is wrong. #TEAMGWEN: Jessie Pitts vs. Ryan Sill Jessie overcame a childhood injury. Ryan wanted to sing during his college days training as an engineer. He's an a cappella brother. Today, they're going head to head, pop voice to pop voice. The weapon, "I Need Your Love" by Ellie Goulding. Ryan was pitch perfect, while Jessie had the tone in the pocket, says Blake. Pharrell thought it was a dramatic battle. Adam respectfully disagrees with Blake, saying that the song was suited to Jessie's voice. GWEN PICKS: Ryan Sill. But will Jessie get a nod from the men? YES! BLAKE'S IN! #TEAMPHARRELL: Blessing Offor vs. Katriz Trinidad We have an east-coast west-coast battle with New Yorker Blessing overcoming his blindness to make a big impression, as does San Diegan Katriz. Both of them are excited to meet Alicia, but both of them will have to sing from the heart with "Do I Do" by Stevie Wonder. A lot of dynamics with this song. Gwen thought it was an incredible battle. Adam thought it was more Blessing's thing, but Katriz rose to the challenge. PHARRELL PICKS: Katriz Trinidad. Will someone be blessed by Blessing? YES! Adam steals! Not so fast! GWEN WANTS IN! But Blessing picks... ADAM. #TEAMADAM: Ethan Butler vs. Matt McAndrew Chicago vs. Philadelphia. Son of a pastor breaking free of his gospel roots vs. guitar teacher trying to change his family's life. The only level playing field, Adam's choice of "Yellow" by Coldplay. Blake thought both singers got lost in the moment, working well together. Pharrell was surprised by Ethan, calling it a draw. Gwen thought it was more suited for Matt. ADAM PICKS: Matt McAndrew. And Pharrell already used his steals, so it's up to Gwen... She respectfully declines. #TEAMBLAKE: Bree Fondacaro vs. Taylor Brashears Bree is a vocal teacher from California helping her little-person father. Taylor is a cashier from Nashville helping her family food truck. They're both looking for an escape, and they're both going to find... "You're No Good" by Linda Ronstadt. It's cross-genre between Taylor's country and Bree's rock. Pharrell wanted to see Bree lose herself, while saying Taylor's "so damn confident". Gwen thought that the melody was simple, and that performance distracted it. Adam thought Bree was talking to a mirror, while Taylor was talking to that dude. BLAKE PICKS: Taylor Brashears. Will anyone pick up Bree? Nope. Heading into the final battle... #TEAMPHARRELL: DaNica Shirey vs. Toia Jones DaNica lost her greatest fan in her father. Toia spent her formative years as a mother. Both of them have drive and dreams and spirit. But only one can win this final battle. Tonight's Closer... "Halo" by Beyonce. Both of them can relate to the lyric and both have a similar range and tone. Gwen thought it was "mindblowing". Adam thought it was "like trying to slay a dragon... then slapping it in the face to make sure it was dead." Blake is wondering where Toia came from. PHARRELL PICKS: DaNica Shirey. For the last time... Artist up for steal... Boom. Adam uses his final steal MAYBE. Nope. Here comes Gwen again. Toia picks ADAM.
