The Voice 3 The Battles Eccentricity


Eccentricity defines this round of the The Voice Battles. Put in two kooky artist and an iambic song made a very haunting performance. I love Melanie Martinez's shy and raspy voice. It sound so unique and innocent yet  does have a maturity and power woven to it. It does mesh up quite nicely with the bold and troubled voice of Caitlin Michelle. Adam is right picking Melanie and I am glad Cee Lo got her dark princess. It makes an interesting event if ever these two will meet again at some point in the future rounds.

Other Battle highlights:

DOMO vs Cody Below #TeamCeeLo A disastrous yet entertaining  rendition of "Telephone". Cody wins this one.


Charlie Rey vs Rudy Parris #TeamBlake: "Bad Day" for Charlie as Blake picked the seasoned Grand dad to move forward.


MacKenzie Bourg vs Emily Earle, #TeamCeeLo: Way to go MacKenzie winning a bit boring duel.
I guess they are having too much of a "Good Time".

Michelle Brooks-Thompson vs Adanna Duru, #TeamAdam: Not shown in its entirety but it would be crazy not to pick Michelle. Song "Crazy in Love"

Mycle Wastman vs Ben Taub, #TeamCeeLo: The battle was not shown in its entirety but it was "Too Close" to a split decision according to Cee Lo. I am glad he picked Mycle (what a unique spelling of a common name).

Awesome first night of The Voice 3 battle rounds


Wow! I am blown away with the first night of The Voice battle round was so awesome. It is like watching two prized fighters boxing it out on who will last until the end. I love two battles, in particular.

De'Borah vs Nelly's Echo
#TeamChristina
Message in the Bottle


Stellar performance between the two. Nelly's Echo started guns blazing. Clearly, he was so pumped up and really laying everything on the line. However, I feel he was bordering on over performing the song. De'borah, on the other hand, was the underdog from the start. She started out weak. But as the performance goes on, she began peaking and soar upward. Nelly's Echo was good, but it's clear De'borah wins this one.

Trevin Hunte vs Amanda Brown
#TeamCeeLo
Vision of Love



My question is "why did Cee Lo pair these two up?". And, only on seeing these two perform on stage, did Cee Lo realize his mistake. I guess he did underestimate Amanda's talent and experience. But I agree with him for picking Trevin. You can really see Trevin's inexperience playing on the most part of this pairing but his talent can't be denied. I am glad for Amanda that she didn't get eliminated and kudos for Adam for stealing her. 

Other notable results:

Diego Val wins over Filipino YouTube sensation JR Aquino
Terry McDermott wins over over Casey Muessigmann
Adam keeps Bryan Keith and Blake steals Collin McLoughlin
