[@tyronemariano8624]

That range and tone, EJ steals this battle for me. You can just hear the grit and his emotions

[@htersgotnothng.]

Yeah

[@jenlapongener]

Niall’s reactions throughout this season would be the highlight. So freakin adorable 🥰

[@marcos7801]

Man, they both put their whole heart and soul into that performance, EJ's energy though was wonderful. They were fabulous.

[@jemhenry8199]

They were both amazing but EJ was the winner for me. His stage presence and his voice is everything.

[@robertantonnyc]

His voice is so smooth. Tasha coming out flirty, really emoting the words. Her voice cuts thru so well. They worked together and sailed into that modulation. Exciting! - So You Wanna Be A Singer

[@chocolateangel8743]

Whenever I hear this song, I think of Smokey and Chris Blue (from season prior). EJ was not as good as Chris or Smokey, in my opinion.

[@Simplenotion]

@@chocolateangel8743 I can recommend Adam Lamberts idol version of it

[@alisalavine1052]

Omg, I love him so much. Not perfect but fabulous and full of character and storytelling goodness. I do actually like him more than her. She has a nice, buzzy placement but her low end, really anything below B3, is really unsupported here. But this is live and she may not be used to supporting while moving. Good stuff.

[@Music61885]

Woow ❣️, his voice,his tone unbelievable 🤩

[@robertantonnyc]

@@dadu274 How do you see them with so many hundreds of other comments on here?

[@S--yo3zr]

My brain jumped straight ahead toward Chris blue' blind audition (Season 12 - Team Alicia) He won that season

[@sunrae7680]

He is still one of my favorites. ❤

[@bethlee7260]

That is still one of the best

[@simmoneprice6735]

Facts

[@tsoul9794]

I thought I was the only one 😅

[@nataliamenezes3048]

tracks of my tears would never be the same after his performance. and it’s funny because when he performed only Alicia wasn’t with her team full, all the other coaches were very upset and yet amazed by his performance hahahaha a true legend

[@annisanegara5399]

I love the chemistry in this performance,they blended so well

[@mateusfontes3376]

Both of them are so good, but I really love Tasha's voice.

[@Andrian158]

This pair is so heartwarming tobsee them hugging when they finished the performanve

[@amyelizabeth529]

Niall leaning back with his feet in the air needs to become a meme... like yesterday! I feel you, man, cause they were insanely good!

[@Maaardie]

Blake picked Tasha knowing that the other coaches would steal EJ 😂 Smart move Blake! Kept both your members in the competition 👏

[@TimeIdle]

Nah. I think he thinks that she's got more potential down the road as a competitor and artist. And he also went on based on the blind audition. Blake knows how to pick them.

[@Maaardie]

@@TimeIdle He really does.

[@80iak]

I think Blake would use the playoff pass if there are no other coaches steal him.

[@Maaardie]

@@sgame82 anything is possible 🤣

[@arsalanchauhan]

He did cz she is far better it was not even a competiotion, he sounded like someone we already know but Tasha was v unique

[@mypaulbry]

Oh God. Wow these talents this year. This is not battles anymore.. This is best duets in the Voice battles. It's so good and phenomenal performance here.

[@jaelespinoza5062]

Tasha's voice is so gorgeous!!!

[@WhatAlex]

I know that Blake is saying that he wants to win this season because it’s his last season, but I think his actual goal with this final season of his is to propel as many artist forward and give them as much exposure as possible. I think Blake believes in every single member of his team and he wants them to be exposed as much as possible and move forward in the competition as far as they can so they get more exposure so they’re more successful after the show even if they’re not on his team. Blake knows that his name in the music industry has quite a bit of weight to it and he knows propelling these contestants as far as possible will be better for them in the long run so that’s why I think he chose Tasha over EJ, knowing EJ had a higher potential of being saved by someone.

[@stavaura]

My thoughts exactly it was a tactical move as EJ was a sure steal.

[@M.Wonderland27]

Exactly what I was thinking! And Tasha deserves it.. her audition song omg!❤❤

[@argiesalango1810]

Any samples from past seasons?

[@GlitznGrits]

@@argiesalango1810 you can just see it and what he does after the show. He has a bar in Nashville and tons of previous contestants Have gotten to do short residences there. He’s helped some get in the studio. Get record deals. He’s even had a few different contestants open up for him on tour shows.

[@redcarpetrevelations]

@@M.Wonderland27 right? her audition was so good like i had that on repeat repeat ;D Wish there was more of her singing on yt

[@clairesheppard6230]

So good. I feel like so many contestants try and make their voices sound a certain way and these two really just put their authentic voices on display and it was perfection!

[@anggapanca9671]

Both are amazing. But EJ’s voice? OMG! He is so goooood

[@mayte_j4008]

The chemistry, the song, they both deserve to go through ❤

[@ckside]

Thanks Chris Blue, you taught me this song indirectly. 😊🙌🏿

[@loraprior3809]

EJ could certainly win this with that amazing voice and stage presence! I have to wonder, though, how does someone of EJ's caliber pass up not once but twice to work with Chance. Chance has made it pretty clear that he's bringing his production mode into the game, so there's so much more value for EJ to gain beyond the Coach chair. I was shaking my head right along with Chance as I sorta couldn't believe EJ passed on him again. Plus, I think the combination of EJ with Chance would make for a sure fire performance on finale night. ❤

[@yeseniabravo7372]

LITERALLY LIKE CHANCE WOULD HAVE BEEN GREAT I love Niall tho but I would have went with chance

[@Redmagneticdragon]

I was thinking the same thing and also thinking it was a little bit rude and what’s going on in his head. 🤔

[@guyluvsbeauty]

Yeah, it was ridiculous for him to not go with Chance.

[@shadowoflugia]

People have a bias against rappers and thinking that they can’t help people improve their singing. I think that was it, that he thought Niall could help him more. But I would’ve gone with Chance if I were him too.

[@shawnvalerio6836]

Tasha’s voice is special and she’s got character. Will only get better when she can perform solo next.

[@coloredpencils01]

This song showcased EJ's range more, which didn't give as much opportunity for the listener to realize how spot on perfect Tasha's performance was!!

[@Shapeshifter7777]

EJ won this for me!! He's amazing !!

[@KyleLyle]

Blake's best battle, imo. That's the energy we always needed from his battle pairs.

[@chizaram1445]

EJ was definitely having a time of his life on that stage😂 he dropped everything on that stage.

[@shabnumqureshi6241]

I WOULD'VE PASSED OUT AFTER PERFORMING LIKE THAT...DAMN THEY'RE POWERHOUSES🥺🔥

[@jonathonfloyd5757]

EJ did the halftime show at the Utah Jazz game I was at tonight. He's crazy talented.

[@keyondavis7241]

I did not expect this pairing or this song for them. EJ was in this performance from head to toe. Every leg raise to snapping his arm around…he was in it

[@georgia1191]

I legit couldn’t believe that EJ didn’t go with chance when chance initially turned for him in the blind auditions and went with someone that didn’t even turn around. Damn, the world is weird. Congratulations EJ you’re an incredible vocalist.

[@maxime_73]

Exactly even tho Chance ain’t relevant no more, rejecting him twice is harsh😂

[@joynova7470]

I'm shocked as well. I was just here chanting chance chance and he went to choose niall. I love niall too sha but all the best

[@AJ-yj1ji]

He's from Utah. I wasn't surprised.

[@kaylawatson5441]

I think he'd go with Chance if his pitches were better. He tells almost everyone that if they pick him, the can win the competition and not much else.

[@fojemo1661]

​@@AJ-yj1ji i was looking for this comment.

[@HeroShades]

That was amazing! Both have wonderful voices and this sounded like a duet than a battle. Wonderful job! Tasha won that round and EJ deserved that steal.

[@thestormlscoming]

Love that we got some desi flare with Tasha this season and Parajita last season. The outfits on point! And the vocals even better. Both did a great job on this battle. EJ has great energy but I think I prefer Tasha's tone slightly more.

[@randomclips_111]

It's the way Niall open his legs when they hit a note 😅

[@misak7349]

EJ did have way more stage presence but Tasha held her vocals and beautiful tone all the way throughout.

[@chaingangsoldier3100]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Whoever made the decision for Niall to be a coach on The Voice deserves a massive raise ASAP! He is such a breath of fresh air to this show and I hope to god this won’t be his only season!

[@arsalanchauhan]

EJ Michels performace was great but he sounds like someone we have already heard but on the other hand Tasha is something absolutely rare with her unique and good range it has a soul to it which is very rare. Amazing Duo performance

[@Victor-fm3xd]

Her voice is not unique at all lmao

[@michaelamitchell1603]

@@Victor-fm3xdat all 😂😂

[@star08094]

The energy on this performance was DIFFERENT!

[@chalkoneup326]

Fantastic song choice by Blake, wow. They both killed it, how do you choose between them after a performance like that? Insane

[@lenima]

Tasha - amazing. EJ - magical. Both together unforgettable amazing magic. WOW!🤩🙌 💖💖💃💃

[@debbiesmitherman9295]

EJ omg 😳 I just love him all the way ! He’s so good and delivering a job well done . Both were amazing but I love EJ .

[@nicholasgarrick8855]

Both were so good ,but EJ was the winner for me he was amazing love his stage presence, and vocal range.

[@0hBryan]

This was such a fun and cool performance. I replayed it 3x already lol Their voices compliment each other so well. Their stage presence is amazing which made the performance even better. The story telling was there. I loved it.

[@ACAO27]

Cant get over with these two!!! Very Masterpiece!

[@elllekelly2215]

Beautiful Duet.. Tasha is Absolutely Stunning!! Great Job!! Both have Unique Voices... Love them both! ❤🎉

[@cecilier.4708]

I love the vibe between them 😍

[@reenasingh6275]

I like how she's wearing some elements of her and my culture ☺️ great voice she has! EJ sings wonderfully!

[@ItsMe-xm5sz]

I trust that Blake knows what he is doing! I am glad that both of them are still in the show!

[@carriedolha788]

Again, another song that should be put out as a single. Could not have been as great without the both of em. Come the Voice, we want to download these singers together.

[@vedikagupta1275]

I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS SEASON,All the coaches have strong teams,and oh these artists give me the chills

[@savannahm.laurentian1286]

These are some of the best battles I've ever seen in The Voice!👏👏👏

[@jaleahmiller19]

They really brought this song to life, and I felt it

[@thomaswschaller]

So good! In a way, the battles are the best part of this show because of amazing duets like this. Wow

[@coloredpencils01]

Totally agree! The duets are my favorite part!

[@wchocobunny]

They're both so great and looked like they had great chemistry.

[@AndreyVas2008]

This season offers great voices!!!

[@michaelhales5695]

They both absolutely slayed this song!!!! Amazing!!!

[@dashriprock8596]

They murdered the song alright.

[@kimcoates7569]

Forget who to choose, I just want to see these 2 in a concert together! 👏👏👏 NO Lie, when E.J. got so far past the stage walking out & no one had stolen him, I nearly peed my pants screaming HOW🥵 COULD THEY ??!! Whew!

[@chiomaubani4680]

Tasha definitely was the right choice Blake, TJ was a powerhouse to but I'm glad he got saved.

[@KaleiRUlve]

You know it's damn good when you get goosebumps listening

[@susannaaurelio3160]

Wow, to both of your performances. Superb

[@htersgotnothng.]

I was more than happy and jumping around when Niall chose EJ❤

[@ygonz4958]

Blake is really smart. He chose Tasha because he knows that the other judges will still EJ. In that way, both artists gets to stay longer in the competition. He is doing this for the artists in his last season. ❤

[@T.L.610]

Exactly what I thought!

[@shelbycovington4831]

I think I’m in love with ej

[@douglasarmstronglll5595]

I wanna say both of these contestants did excellent jobs tonight and ej deserve the battle round win tonight and congratulations ej and tasha on making the voice knockouts

[@notan9801]

if ya'll OGs ya'll know how Chris Blue take on this song. Unbeatable.

[@KagisoSedio-jf6zg]

We really have some good talent this season❤❤❤

[@ayeishagee7249]

Tasha taking us to church everytime. While EJ has an undeniable stage presence and great vocals too. Deserving of a steal.

Or, you know, temple or mosque, her preference. I'd follow that voice anywhere, tbh
