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!

Up Next: ” 19 Greatest Glee Performances in History .” We’ll be redirecting you shortly… Glee made singing cool. It made being a nerd acceptable. It often veered too far into the world of cheesy Public Service Announcements, especially in its later years, but no one can debate the show’s originality. It aimed to be more than just a TV show, trying to send messages on a weekly basis about drugs, drinking, homosexuality, bullying and many other important topics. We’ll take that any day over the uncreative, borderline racist nonsense of abysmal sitcoms such as 2 Broke Girls. And Glee also dealt with a real-life tragedy when Cory Monteith died , providing the series with a certain tragic gravitas as it nears its conclusion. Look for the musical comedy to pay homage to the late star on its series finale this Friday. We salute you, Glee stars and Glee music , for giving television something it has never seen before – and we honor you via the above photo gallery. Which of these 19 Glee performances was your favorite?
The Dream: Domestic Violence Case Dismissed The Dream danced his way out of an NYC court late last week as the nearly year-long domestic violence case against him was dismissed altogether. The songwriter always maintained that he never laid his hands his former girlfriend, a non-US citizen, and insisted that she was just trumping up charges to gain sympathy to remain in the United States. Via NY Daily News : The-Dream, the 37-year-old music industry bigwig whose real name is Terius Nash, was charged with choking and roughing up his then-pregnant girlfriend Lydia Nam in April 2012. Nam told authorities that Nash threatened to kill her “like O.J. Simpson killed Nicole Brown” during the altercation. But Nash was cleared of charges, including felony assault and strangulation, at a brief appearance in Manhattan Criminal Court. “After a thorough investigation, we have determined that we cannot prove this case beyond a reasonable doubt,” prosecutor Jacqueline Cornell said. She did not elaborate on the Manhattan District Attorney’s decision. Nash, said he felt “joy” over the result and did a short dance by the elevators while sharing a light moment with his new bride, Lalonne Martinez. “God has a way,” he said. “I’m relieved, that’s all.” We bet he’s relieved! Had there been evidence to rule him guilty, he could have faced 7 years in prison.
