Both women deserve nothing but LOVE for sharing their craft & being women of substance. Hate is for the bias & insecure.

[@kosbimohamed2904]

I got chills everytime i watch this performence ! Both of them must go through !!

[@buggyking2523]

HOLY CRAP! I take back everything I said about the season! That battle was amazing!

[@buggyking2523]

How didn't Irene get stolen!?!

[@AeomonWolf]

I do think Lydia rightfully won, but I also think that Irene did amazing. I think Irene is a great singer and has the potential to blow Lydia out of the water, but the song choice wasn't great for her (either of them, really), and it sounded like she was trying too hard to outshine Lydia's high notes. I think Irene has a stronger voice and Lydia just has the advantage of a higher voice, so she's able to hit those impressively high notes more easily.

[@idontknow7673]

Great analysis, I agree completely. I'm so saddened by the loss of Irene, she definitely deserved to go to the finals and at the very least deserved a steal!

[@MadelynnesMierda]

"It's like a wrestling match!" 😂😂😂

[@LifeAsJerry]

Best battle of the night

[@chesadjanelle778]

It's clear that his going to take Lydia. But Irene was amazing!

[@mayamagination]

agree imho Irene has much more power in her voice but theres no doubt both were amazing

[@brenvlogsyt8414]

the two of theses ladies were amazing, i no ill see both go so far what a battle great to watch.

[@benmola1775]

If Sir Tom Jones is still here he'll definitely steal Irene.

[@LHmepsetc]

OH MY GOSH THAT WAS SO INTENSE AND INCREDIBLE!! If Irene wasn't stolen, then there's something really wrong with the other judges! To be honest, I think it, if Irene isn't stolen, that this was a bad pairing because they both deserve to get through!

[@elliskane3]

+Tommy-boy ̖́- Irene didn't get stolen, I was really upset about that too. :(

[@LHmepsetc]

Oh no, what were the judges thinking? :( It's the second time Will has paired the two best singers, and one of them got eliminated! I was looking forwards to this battle, but now that not both got through I got really mad! Irene and Lydia were my favourites from team Will... I love Lydia, so I'm happy she got through, but I think both deserved to get through |:

[@LadyUchiha]

I hate it when contestants turn battles into 'Let's see who can shout louder' x.x

[@ednorpradotoledotolarba7827]

For me Irene have the best voice . hoping she can join X factor uk 2016. God bless Irene .

[@kabayanofw4902]

Wild card pls for irene🙏😇

[@RowenaAvohscarletfusion2905]

Goosebumps...They were amazing

[@periurban]

Well, here we are at last in the battles, and I think I can say that the technical problems that seemed to infect the blinds have evaporated somewhere along the way. Irene and Lydia got things off to a great start. There was always the danger that this would end up in a shriek-off, but aside from one or two moments the two voices worked quite well together and both ladies are wonderful singers. I thought Irene did a slightly better job, but in terms of being a potential winner, I think Will was right to choose Lydia, because when she got up to her working pitch she was very good indeed.

[@mikey_strange]

I thought Irene looked very upset while performing, was there any backstage drama that they showed before the battle? (like georgia and leverne from series 3)

[@mikey_strange]

+Nic Plays Alright thanks! I dont have Bbc where i live so i can only watch it here

[@CrimsonHeart3]

+Michael Evans use primewire, maybe its there

[@shipbare]

I looked forward to your comments this season. Same problem from last year: they treat battles as a marathon, players run their own race, unlike the Voice US where they either treat it as a well blended duet or a duel of dancing swords.

[@periurban]

Kevin Arellano I agree. The US battles are much better arranged. Something to do with a bigger pool of talent to pull from?

[@juliancouselo]

Una de las batallas mas expectaculares de todos los the voice juntos!!

[@abirdynumnum9612]

Man: talk about a BATTLE!!! Both ladies are superb!

[@juliakwan4572]

Commenters, please stop hating on Lydia. She is now in the finals, so you do not have a right to hate on her. Irene and Lydia are both great!

[@aaron22528]

Lydia is hot af

[@temngwako2847]

yep

[@michealjacksonforever4235]

Aaron Metz Aaron MetzAaron Metz yes she is and love her even more because she loves Michael Jackson

[@PeetaMe]

Irene was amazing! Lydia was still great, though.

[@carolcarvalho4954]

Lydia´s voice is so perfect! she is my favourite

[@adriananavarro7377]

Irene was amazing!

[@thagoofykid1018]

Irene wanted this more and should have got the won but Lydia was just as amazing and wasn’t backing down the only way she would have win is because her career would go a lot further than Irene simple because she’s young and related to Cheryl...but I like lydia version... better.

[@terrax527]

I am surprised no one stole Irene .

[@kingpoupa568]

Irene you smashed it

[@091288Roland]

Amazing battle! Excellent song choice!!!

[@MissCagoita]

I felt it was a bit too angry and shouty. I love Irene's voice, Lydia probably has a bit more edginess, but this performance to me wasn't brilliant.

[@dominickguevarra8033]

Irene Alano is more greater than Lydia Lucia their voice quality is very different and if we hear to the sound of their attacked to each note it is much far greater beyond that Irene Alano beat it. On high notes and arpeggios Irene Alano hit it more pleasing to the hearers of music far more than Lucy.

[@GohanSuperSaiyan43]

INCREDIBLE BATTLE!!! I doubt anyone will do better than these two! I'm just baffled that anybody stole Irene! Like REALLY???? What's wrong with these coaches!?

[@ShihTzuFamily991]

irene far better than lydia...but im still proud to all pilipina siger mga bakukaw sa stage....

[@-M0LE]

As much as I love lydia she lost this one Irene voice was perfect

[@olongapocityguy]

Irene Alano stood out and has more soulful rendition, and stage presence; quality and all!. 👍👌✊👏🎤🎶

[@brittanied.9509]

Lydia sounds like Cher Lloyd

[@randguy1458]

Brittanie Daniels *Yo name sounds like Jack Daniels*

[@jrolivar7919]

Correct

[@bcarmakid]

Amazing battle great vocals from both

[@Jean-lt9ix]

I love Lydia voice She so beautiful when she singing

[@Jean-lt9ix]

I love Irene voice too but I love more Lydia voice

[@kingpoupa568]

Wow wow wow Irene you nailed it sorry you didn't get through you are our favourite x

[@missdeedee4370]

I thought Irene blew Lydia out of the water in their battle performance. But it was so obvious even before they started singing that will.i.am would choose Lydia over Irene no matter what. I'm not keen on her and don't like the tone of her voice either.

[@Sirbananasir]

I don't like it either Irene's voice even though it's powerful is way more easier on my ears

[@FashionDIYTeam]

They certainly raised the roof awesome voices #IreneAlanoRhodes #LydiaLucy both strong but love all the other stuff #Lydia does too look forward to more #TeamWill

[@annec42]

Cannot believe Lydia with won this. Irene was amazing. The only reason I can see Lydia winning this is her sheer commercial appeal. Irene's voice was by far superior. Lydia can hit the notes but her tone is so thin and piercing while Irene has a much lusher, richer voice, and she really gave it everything.

[@danielgardecki1046]

+Anne C You obviously didn't see Irene's audition where she went massively out of tune loads of times, while Lydia was flawless. Irene had the edge in the battles but only slightly. Bad song choice from Will

[@annec42]

+Daniel Gardecki (Danstarr69) actually I have seen both auditions. And I agree. But this is about the battle, not the auditions.

[@annec42]

+Daniel Gardecki (Danstarr69) oh and I totally agree that this was an awful song choice by will!

[@nitebot]

Let's be honest, Irene lost because of her age not her singing. I do like Lydia though. She has a market!

[@lizclegg7556]

+Anne C I agree. I find Lydia quite horrible to listen to.

[@monster25371]

If it is just about the voice that the judges are looking for then Irene should have gone through :(

[@CynthiaGraceDiaz]

I honestly thought Irene really did a better job than Lydia. In terms of voice quality and range, Irene could have been a top contender for Will. Lydia's voice was also high but a little too thin for me at least... it was kind of shrieky ..and she did fall off the beat a couple of times in the song.

[@joms_b]

The world is not yet ready for a Filipino Superstar...just saying...this is not a talent competition, this is a popularity contest.

[@marcelolima9069]

Amazing battle

[@kingpoupa568]

Irene was the obvious winer of this battle ... If it is about the voice only.

[@alhamdulillahhappy5407]

both are amazing

[@iamwhoiam1331]

Lydia got through? LMAO!!! Irene had so much experience and yet Lydia went through 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I'm done with the voice uk

[@kaylanight7364]

woah Irene

[@ronaldjavier321]

Irene got the voice to be amazed!!!

[@malikahhussain4961]

I loved them both

[@storkman]

holy crap, that was insane vocals

[@kamaropayne5226]

I thought they were pretty equal, having read some of the comments below. But, let me clarify that not only have I not seen this season, or even episode; living in the US, so I'm not emotionally invested. The older gal, Asian maybe? was slightly stronger, but both were STUNNING.

[@elliskane3]

Anyone else really upset when they were chose to battle because they liked them both? xD Poor Irene, someone should've stole her!!!

[@theelvizzz]

Wow superb!!! Bravo

[@michel1313130]

For some reason, I felt those lyrics from 2:03 to 2:02 meant alot for Irene. Great battle btw, very quite even

[@safsaf4145]

People need to realise judges need to base the decision on the voice but also, appearance, style, whether their current or not? Lets face it, Lydia has all of that and she is way more current in 2017 than Irene.

[@ApoyoalaFamilia]

El mejor de todos, esta genial

[@melissalynch4552]

Love em

[@bastianlarsen7375]

1:25 amazing!

[@sjt.i455]

This is what you call a battle !! This felt like the hunger games for singing haha

[@andrearobinson3535]

To all the hate on here, they are equally as talented but other people have different opinions. I think they could both have very good careers. Will voted for the one he liked best and would sell most albums etc ect. No point putting a person through if you don't think they will win. I liked them both equally as singers.

[@dgaller06]

Will is a total sucker for that whistle register, the people who utilize it on his team usually win out with him during the battle rounds. I actually loved Lydia's placement of her first whistle. Also, I gotta say, this was a battle, those two girls were at actual war, I'm wondering if something happened backstage between them that ended up being brought on stage with them.

[@atje43]

Both Great! Irene is more traditional and has an amazing range and just enough amazing notes. Lydia squeaky but also makes high notes...Irene won this by a whisker or two.

[@bubbaparis222]

Irene kept seriously death staring Lydia.. 😂😶

[@kingpoupa568]

Irene is my favorite

[@greykenmsp354]

This was not fair, it was about the best singer! Not who is younger!

[@danilolelis6126]

Very great performance

[@MAAmer-dy7pw]

would you please include the judges comments, as we are overseas and we can't watch the show on tv

[@sadiar3008]

Irene looked like she would cry at any moment

[@marknibreda9541]

Irene was so good she can do better than her opponent, i was smiled while watching their battle...

[@lois6298]

Irene was so much better

[@liamtv3016]

WOW! this is a reality battle...

[@aileendlv]

Had goosebumps listening to Irene...She did a way better job than Lydia

[@eric7798]

They have the voice, both of them, that is undeniable but just, it doesn't suit that kind of song. The version of that song in the voice of germany last year (Milos vs Natascha) had so much more rock sould in it as it should have in my opinion. Still, Irene and Lydia were awesome.

[@alrodriguez2279]

You gotta be real Pinoys. I'm also a Filipino but Lydia did better in this performance.

[@evanantonola4935]

I agree. Irene is good but the quality of Lydia's voice sounds 'kaching kaching'.

[@breillesamaroire1451]

This show is ageism. Irene clearly won this battle or at least should be stolen

[@gabrielcarvalho5008]

Bring Back Irene -.-

[@ej7728]

yes yes yes bring her back she was so good

[@jenniferharding7193]

LYDIA WAS THE BEST

[@eliahucosta5907]

Irene is the Best...

[@Kamisiamisia]

the fact that Irene was louder doesn't mean she was better.....

[@FacheChanteDeux]

It was like theater!

[@jasminperez557]

they killed this song for me 😏

[@hoaxcity6222]

Oh ma days!!! Lydia is so fit...!

[@kingpoupa568]

Irene smashed it

[@vaclavstryka5524]

very good!

[@nathans.5911]

A battle of who can ad lib, hit higher chest belts and falsetto. Lydia tone is so high . Irene should have pulled back because she got outclassed at 1:57-2:12 is where she lost. Lydia smashed her part after

[@idontknow7673]

Irene should've won! ffs gooooo filipinaaaaa!!!

[@soniapereira5439]

Que isso gente? Coisa mais linda!

[@nitsujjustin5829]

at least they hugged in the end, no hate amongst em

[@ajisapiiscomeback]

Both of them are really great. I think why Will choose Lydia over Irene is because he thinks the other judges will steal Irene but... no one steals. And if he picks Irene, the other judges will steal Lydia (which I think he prefers Lydia because she'll cooperate better to him)

[@anaismatthieu3612]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[@CzKaa]

Perfect. :)

[@ervin3sunardy]

omg.. they so good. true is. its really like wrestling match

[@kevinacosta8180]

awesome

[@poundwadeesrisamohn3728]

Irene is better in my opinion. anyway this is TV show that it was made for make money. it's not surprising if Will pick Lydia

[@laurry]

just because you gave your opinion doesn't mean Irene deserved to win... Lydia is now in the finals so there you go bitch.

[@samadtama3961]

because way win Lydia because Irene is from the Philippines this show is insane

[@sk8t3rg1r7]

Lydia over Irene? HOW? Irene's inner rock goddess shone through!

[@apple-gr3yn]

They both are super great but Lydia will always be my star! :)

[@faithd4161]

well done Lydia and when u win I will send u back our selfie xoxox

[@redrumax]

Irene was much better, faar better. The commercial value of the girly girl won it for Lydia.

[@xtianchen7977]

Really? please can you study musica and then come back tolisten one more time the difference between Irene and Lydia.

[@michel1313130]

+redrumax I disagree. Vocally, both were evenly match, but Lydia was more fresh, so probably this question of age was the reason why Lydia won this round

[@jonathanbrule3964]

+redrumax i think exactly like BigMike that was totaly a draw in therm of vocal Irene have a voice that was taking lot of space but even on higher note you could hear lydia having a nice pitch over her and the fact that Lydia is younger and fresher and singing out of her confort zone and doing well make her win.

[@MsMimilala]

Lydia looks like Jessie from Little Mix...

[@fiveohfivethree]

+MsMimilala And she tries too hard to sound like Ariana Grande for my liking. Taking inspiration from other singers is fine but imitating them badly is not.

[@PanosArvan]

+MsMimilala I would say more like Jade. Especially when she had red hair as well.

[@MsMimilala]

... that's true she does

[@XtitibossX]

Mire like A mini Samantha Jade

[@depi25]

+fiveohfivethree why would anybody want to sound like ariana...?

[@whfan007]

They should have both been eliminated because this was a mess just screaming on top of their lungs not even knowing what the song is about. Someone like Whitney Houston knew how to use her power and range without overdoing it or losing the meaning of the song. That being said I did love Lydia’s performance of I’ll be There.
