Join us while we dish about the last of the battle rounds on our cheesy fun show, The Voice!

Warning: This live blog may be bad. I’m having some issues.

Adriana Louise vs Jordan Pruett. Team Xtina. They are nervous when meeting with Billie Joe and Xtina. She chooses “Hot and Cold” by Katy Perry. Billie Joe wants them to find the balance between a duet and a battle. Xtina wants Jordan to take more risks. She wants them both to be more aggressive. She wants them to exude power and presence. She thinks it’s neck and neck at the last rehearsal. Commercial break. We’re back. Does swinging your hair make you a pop star? Just wondering. I like the Adriana better than the Disney chick. The hand clapping above the head annoys. Can y’all tell I’m in a bad mood. I say get rid of both of them. Xtina looks happy. Cee-lo thought it was great. I was annoyed. He goes with Adriana. Adam says the battle was so even and they are equally good. He thought Jordan peaked at the end, so chooses her. Blake thinks Jordan is unique and picks her. Xtina picks Adriana. I think Xtina is the only one who has a steal left, so no luck for Jordan.

Blake and Buble welcome Kelly Crapa vs. Michaela Page. Country girl vs. rocker. Micheala loves Buble. Does she know he’s an asshat? They are doing Joan Jett’s “I Hate Myself for Loving You.” Blake thinks Micheala oversings. Of course. Rocker chick is fodder. Kelly needs more attitude, they say. Blake says the battle will come down to which one is most seasoned since they are both teens. Now I’m not sure he’ll choose the country girl. Guess we will see after the break. These girls are better than first two from Team Xtina. Xtina is taken aback –she thought a brawl would break out. She likes Michaela better. Cee-lo thinks Kelly will shine on a different song. He says it’s a tie. Adam thinks it was awesome and the cutest thing he has ever seen. He’s stumped. Blake praises Kelly and chooses Michaela because she has more of an edge.

Avery vs. Chevonne . Team Cee-loo. “Titanium.” Youth vs. Experience. Avery is worried after hearing her sing. Cee-lo thinks he needs to loosen up. Final rehearsal he brings it. Now for the battle. Chevonne loves Avery but isn’t going home, she claims. Off to a commercial. This is the end of the night so we know Xtina will steal one of them. Not a great way to build suspense. Here we go. Both are talented. I think I’d pick Chevonne. Damn. Avery can dance. Oh yeah, we knew that. I would still pick Chevonne. Let’s see who Cee-lo picks and Xtina steals. Adam was engaged. But he thinks Avery took it hands down. Blake thinks she was great, but agrees with Adam. Xtina thinks Chevonne’s stage presence was amazing and hit some great notes. Cee-lo picks Avery. Xtina steals Chevonne! We don’t have any time left, duh. I know it was pre-recorded, so who know what order it was decided.

It’s a wrap. Hope y’all enjoyed the show. Post your thoughts in comments.

    Well, I don’t agree that Daniel is a very good singer because I think that he’s gotten this far because of his “redemption” story, not his talent. I see your point though about him losing to the eventual winner. lol

    horrible cover of Titanium. send them both home.

    The knockout rounds are basically two contestants from the same team against one another but instead of singing a duet they each sing their own song and then the coach chooses.
    I think it would be better to have all 10 perform and then each coach chooses the best 5. But oh well…

     I am a fan of Chevonne. Good voice and very entertaining.

  • OffLeash

    You could be right about the redemption arc making him ~look like a better singer than he is lol. Truth is, there was no way he was gonna win. As shallow as it sounds ~and is, now that most of the contestants left are those with the best voices, the rest of their “package” will make a difference. Not to mention Daniel lacks performing skills anyway.

    i have to admit that the battle round Titanium cover was a bit oversung though.  Avery has some real promise but i would like CeeLo to kick a couple of bad habits out from Avery

    i prefer this Titanium cover from The Voice of Denmark blind audition.  just pure singing

    It’s like the theme of The Voice is to battle against your teammates until the very end. I have some mix feelings about that. I would love if the teams faced one another than have their teammates always face off.  

  • verov

    Completely agree. They should just dispense with the term ‘team’ altogether unless they start actually facing the other ‘teams’ some time before the unlikely-to-be-remotely-grand finale.

  • verov

     ”I would like Cee Lo to kick a couple of bad habits out from Avery.”

    That totally overdone vibrato perhaps? He’s obviously got a good voice, but it sounds like he’s gargling-while-singing half the time.

  • bahogbugan_simj

    a bit of vibrato i can handle, but a strong vibrato coupled with melisma can be too much

     It looks as though they’re simply adding this knockout round as a
    response to the “We had no time at all to bond with contestants”
    comments from previous seasons.
    Anyhow, it’s gonna be nice in order to increase the younger ones’ confidence. They really could use some encouragement!

    So who ends with the majority of hot guys ;)

  • Christopher Auyeung

    Yeah Jordan was much better in that battle I thought. Bummed she went home. Lots of pop potential in that one, and a pretty good voice to boot.

    I like to say that on The Voice, your teammates are your enemies until there are no enemies left.

    By that, I mean a singer only competes against his or her own teammates until one remains.  That one goes to the finale.  That way, each coach has one act on the last episode.  No Paula Abdul/X Factor situations.

  • julesb2183

     Yeah, the format is waaay to complicated.

  • julesb2183

     That’s what doesn’t make sense. If you are working for a “team” to win, why are you competing against contestants on your team?

  • kirble

    I’ve been waiting for another one of these Battle Round performances to really sizzle like Nelly’s Echo and De’borah’s “Message in a Bottle.”

    And man have I been disappointed.
