To assist on both ends of this, the new crop of Team Advisors has arrived!
Joining Team Ariana is one ofAriana Grande’sfriends and mentors,Kristin Chenoweth.
It should be fun let’s Battle.
“I literally talked to my therapist about this,” she says.
Although both Katie and Bella have power, they have two very distinct voices.
Bella is pure and crystal clear, while Katie has a cool rasp and an edge to her vocals.
Winner: Katie Rae!
Steals/Saves:Of course, Ariana saves Bella DeNapoli, her Italian sister!
Samuel is a big surprise.
His rasp sounds great on this song, and he sings with so much emotion.
It doesn’t hurt that the two of them have great chemistry.
Winner: Samuel Harness!
It’s a compelling performance.
Winner: Girl Named Tom!
“Now this is good television,” says John Legend.
“You deserve to be here,” he tells her.
In rehearsals with Dierks Bentley, both Dierks and Blake are impressed with the Joy Reunions seamless blend.
He certainly finds that again when the musicians take to the Battle stage.
He sounds great, he looks great (those slick bell-bottoms!
), and his presence steals the show.
Winner: Peedy Chavis!
I so badly want to hear more of Ariana’s impression of Kristin singing Fall Out Boy.
Instead, we just get this Battle.
David Vogel is a clear standout from the beginning, though.
This song suits not just his vibe the hair, people!
but his vocals as well.
He can really rock out.
The second half of this duet is really strong those high notes!
and Kelly Clarkson calls it “one of [her] favorite Battles,” period.
Winner: David Vogel!
“Save the big punch,” Jason Aldean advises.
Kelly wants a little more “sweetness” at the top to give the song a place to go.
These notes change the whole dynamic of the song, and it’s a journey.
Jershika has some intricate, tight runs, and Jeremy is justso smooth.
He’s so easy to listen to.
This is a tough decision.
Winner: Jeremy Rosado!
Steals/Saves:Both John Legend and Ariana Grande want Jershika on their teams.
John loves her energy and says the stage “lit up” with her on it.
Ariana is impressed by Jershika’s flawless runs.
In the end, Jershika chooses… well, we have to wait until tomorrow night to find out.
