The Voice: Let the Battles Begin! (5/10/11)

The teams are set, it's now time for the battle round. What is the battle round? I'll explain.

The four coaches have four teams of eight. At this point the coaches must pit their team against each other in duets and then eliminate someone after the duet. When the battle rounds are over, which it seems like in four weeks, each coach will only have teams of four. The really cool part about the battles are that the duets are in a ring ala boxing and wrestling. Now that we are all on the same page, let the battle rounds begin!

Coach: Christina (guest mentor Sia Furler)
Battle: Frenchie Davis vs. Tarralyn Ramsey
Song: Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)
Thoughts: Is it bad I was kinda bored this song? The performances were alright I guess. Maybe it's the fact that I'm very over this song. These two hit all the notes and even maybe oversung it a little.
Winner: Frenchie

Coach: Blake (guest mentor Reba)
Battle: Tyler Robinson vs. Patrick Thomas
Song: Burning Love
Thoughts: It's funny if Scotty on Idol didn't sing an Elvis song a few weeks back, I wouldn't have put Elvis and country together. But this was actually good. Good choice for these guys. Both guys actually deserved to move on in my opinion.
Winner: Patrick

Coach: Adam (guest mentor Adam Blackstone)
Battle: Tim Mahoney vs. Casey Weston
Song: Leather and Lace
Thoughts: I honestly didn't know the name of this song but knew what it was it was really good. The first girl vs. guy battle, actually really wasn't, especially since Adam thought Tim was a girl when he auditioned. That being said, really good performance for both of them. Didn't make it that hard though in my opinion.
Winner: Casey

Coach: Cee Lo (guest mentor Monica)
Battle: Vicci Martinez vs. Niki Dawson
Song: F***** Perfect
Thoughts: This was the best duet of the night by far. Well done by the ladies on a song that all ladies around the world seem to love and relate to. This was a tough choice and he really couldn't go wrong either way in my view.
Winner: Vicci

That's in for week one of the battles, I'm looking forward to week two.
