Niall is incredibly unselfish, in my opinion. First of all, he paired these two, knowing it was going to be gorgeous, but he wanted to create the best possible duet. Second, you could see in the rehearsals that he was giving them so many good ideas, but he gave all the credit and love to them. And lastly, he chose Gina, knowing Kala was going to be saved by Kelly. He is 100% here for the artists above all else.

[@owenliston9189]

Gina I believe has a higher ceiling and Niall being a more current artist can see what’s best for the future

[@owenliston9189]

This is on par with Allegra and Micheal battle

Gina's voice is so unique. Love her tone and the texture. 🔥🔥

[@zacharytong789]

the results of this battle were honestly perfect. Gina has such a unique and emotional tone, but nerves and lack of confidence seem to be her main issue so niall will be a great coach in helping her see her own talent. kala on the other hand knows exactly what kind of artist she is, but she’ll need someone to really let her powerful storytelling shine, so kelly is the perfect coach for her. both are going to go far for sure.

[@tana3875]

What a great perspective! On the show, Kelly even agreed with Blake when he said she can’t coach nerves. Her and Kala have such similar singing styles with their power. Meanwhile, Niall seems to place a lot of emphasis on the emotions and storytelling. Maybe he can help Gina transform those nerves into a way that’ll make her singing sound more vulnerable and immersive. Like how Chance said her shakiness gave her an edge. Hopefully Niall can help her tap into that purposely. I was disappointed with the decision at first, but now I see that both girls are with coaches that suit them best. Thank you for this comment :)

[@thin4740]

@@tana3875 I was disappointed at the result too. After watching second time, I agree with what Niall did. I was hoping him to keep both artists on his team because both are so good and deserve to move forward. He's really on the game and after all, that's what this show is for. hoping Gina will be greater next round. ✨✨✨

[@atiati7627]

She is not nerves at singing. Why people mentioned it?! She just speaks quietly. It doesn't mean of lack of confidence or something. Let her be herself .Just listen to her voice and enjoy.

I can’t get over 1:57 😮 just haunting and beautiful. This is where she won.

[@jacobmccain8794]

Funny I thought the moment before where Kala did beautiful high note and won for me! They both are beasts, but Kala for me can literally do everything and then some with her voice. Her choices are ridiculous! Gina’s tone is crazy good tho so I love both, I just can’t get over Kala’s control and her storytelling ability!!!

[@sgrey2350]

Gina won this battle at 1:55. It’s those small segments of absolute all star perfection that sets an artist apart. If Gina continuously gives us new creative acrobatic riffs like that week after week, it’ll be what can pull her to the top of this competition.

[@martacastillo6272]

I agree! That riff felt like a dance

I am not even kidding on how I desperately want this arrangement on Spotify, the best version so far, so soulful...rooting for this two

[@lufflyness]

Huge get for team Kelly. They were both great, but you can tell Gina is still a little inexperienced, whereas Kala is so fully immersed into the song.

[@ginmelove]

But Gina’s voice is effortless. Anyways ughh they’re both great. Total package. They can win this.

[@q3trimco]

Different styles, both good.

[@arfed104]

Kala is an amazing singer, but Gina's tone just draws you in

[@amandagreene7481]

I've been so obsessed with Kala from her audition. I'd never heard that song before and I downloaded it after her performance. But Gina is also amazing

[@cherylgardner1241]

Agreed huge get for team Kelly. I wanted Kala on team Kelly from the beginning but she was blocked. Kala is such a storyteller and Kelly is the perfect coach for her.

[@therealemceekay]

I preferred Kala's audition but have to agree with Niall's point that Gina grew so much from her audition to now, and I feel like you could see her confidence starting to peek through. Kala's fantastic and Kelly's lucky to have her but based on this performance I would have gone with Gina as well.

[@Elena-pu2xg]

Gina’s win was well deserved, she’s phenomenal! But I think Kala should have been in the top 2 her control over her voice and how she uses it is absolutely stunning!

[@marcos7801]

I really love Gina's chest voice and tone, so beautiful. Kala gave more emotionally to the song and connected with it though.

[@robertantonnyc]

both have such a soft, sweet approach. Gina has a limericky lilt, Kala is more str8-forward and soothing. Nice breathiness from both of them and they grew this very naturally. Can't get that lilt out of my ears. Enchanting!

[@alisalavine1052]

So Gina has this gorgeous, velvety tone which draws you in. We storytellers often use that warmth when entering a phrase. It really gets the attention of the audience. Kala's dynamics were just brilliant. And I actually prefer her voice. Probably because she obviously has more experience. Gina has so much to work with though and give her more life experience and I think she'll be a force in a few years.

[@robertantonnyc]

@@alisalavine1052 I believe after hearing some many thousands of voices over the years, my ears really perk up when I hear something "different/special." Gina has that. Idk that I've ever heard anyone who sounds quite like her.

[@keyondavis7241]

Beautiful performance. I love how the song was slowed down and it was very conversational. I thought Kala would sweep through Gina, but Gina was just as strong.

ok, both definitely killed it!! it was such an amazing duet, it wasn’t even a battle, omg. but anyone else saw how sensitive niall was?? look at those eyes just about to cry, i bet he was so much proud of them!!!

[@emiliaponiatowski18]

This is probably the most magical battles performance this season so far 😍

[@iimeggyx]

Personally, I was astounded by Kala's strong but angelic voice. SHE IS BLESSED. I'm not saying I believed Gina was bad, but I was so sad that Kala didn't make it further in the show, for me my favourite moment of this was 1:32, because her voice is so gentle and it just resonated with me so strongly. You can also see Kelly's reaction "oh my god" and im pretty sure we said this in unison. 1:51 followed by Gina's riff also really hit me, and I feel like if Kala would have gotten some harder riffs to do or something more, she could have had a more solid chance with Nial, amazing duet, can't fault it.

[@brischneider1400]

I adore Gina, her voice is so beautiful and she’s adorable

[@reallycasty]

I've been watching The Voice for years and this is up there as one of the best duets to ever come from The Battles. This was otherworldly levels of beautiful

[@richjustin06]

Gina has such a haunting voice. She connected so much to this rendition, it almost sounds like her song. The shyness adds just that much more mystery to her as an artist. That is something you can’t teach

[@jacobmccain8794]

I was about to FREAK! Kala can win! Kelly has a potential winner right here🤯🔥! This performance has reaffirmed my love for Kala’s voice! She is a pro! Her choices are ridiculous and had me actually crying! Kala has all the goods and I’m rooting for her to be at least a finalist! The way Blake spoke about Gina’s voice is how I feel about Kala’s voice! Nobody’s voice is like Kala’s. It is so unique and all the inflection in her voice and the way she sing a whispers and then belts and has these cries in her voice is a thing of insanity. I was hooked on every note. Kala’s my top 3!

Suckle on the hope in light brassieres My my my, my my my, my my Sullen load is full, so slow on the split And I told you to be patient And I told you to be fine And I told you to be balanced And I told you to be kind And now all your love is wasted And then who the hell was I?

Very smart move for Niall to keep both of them. Kelly did admit to not being able to coach nerves, plus the fact that Niall knew Kelly would steal Kala. Some would think it would be selfish for a coach to pick the technically stronger and more mature contender (in this case Kala), but he made the best choice for the artists, not for himself. And that song choice (I had no idea he had that song in his arsenal), UGH, goosebumps. 😭
