The Battle Rounds continued last night on NBC’s The Voice Season 8 Episode 7, with the coaches facing some difficult choices in terms of who to advance. Pharrell, in particular, seemed to agonize over one decision … Kimberly Nichole vs. Lowell Oakley (The Voice Battle Round) Kimberly Nichole vs. Lowell Oakley (Team Pharrell): Their duet on “Hound Dog” thoroughly flummoxed their coach, who took an eternity to declare a winner. Lowell was it. Somewhat surprisingly. Pharrell again crafted a terrific Battle Round performance, but one that assured he would cut loose a great talent. Luckily for the supremely strong Kimberly, she was stolen by Christina, who may have just landed one of the favorites to win this thing, by accident. Briar Jonnee vs. Caitlin Caporale (The Voice Battle Round) Briar Jonnee vs. Caitlin Caporale (Team Pharrell): This one wasn’t as challenging for their mentor. Both were good, but Caitlin was better. It showed. She won the battle, and no steal was used on Briar. Barry Minniefield vs. Jack Gregori (The Voice Battle Round) Barry Minniefield vs. Jack Gregori (Team Adam). Barry took this one rather easily (to us) and advanced to the Knockout Round with a victory over Jack. He’s “Feelin’ Alright” or better than alright after this effort. Katelyn Read vs. Treeva Gibson (The Voice Battle Round) Katelyn Read vs. Treeva Gibson (Team Christina): An unusual and slightly uneven but solid enough performance yielded a clear winner in Treeva. No steal was awarded to Katelyn, so she’s going home. Brenna Yaeger vs. Kelsie May (The Voice Battle Round) Brenna Yaeger vs. Kelsie May Team Blake): Not the best take on Reba’s “Fancy” by either singer, as both were a bit off at times and clearly nervous. Based on her potential, Brenna got the nod. No steal. India Carney vs. Clinton Washington (The Voice Battle Round) Clinton Washington vs. India Carney (Team Christina): Finally, a barn burner! India was incredible in winning this battle, but her rival also won acclaim. That was enough to keep Clinton on the program. Adam swooped in for the steal, meaning that both he and Christina ended the night by cutting one singer and adding another, better one to their rosters. Not bad for a night’s work on the hit competition. Who was your favorite on The Voice Season 8 Episode 7? Did the coaches make the right decisions? Whose team looks best so far? Hit the comments!
