ABOUT THE VOICE
The four-time Emmy Award-winning musical competition series "The Voice" returns as Queen of Country Reba McEntire claims her red chair alongside last season's champ, Niall Horan, and returning superstar coaches John Legend and Gwen Stefani as they vie to discover and coach the next singing phenomenon.
The show's innovative format features five stages of competition: Blind Auditions, Battle Rounds, Knockouts, Playoffs and Live Performance Shows.
This season, the block returns to the Blind Auditions, and during Battles, each coach will have two steals to use. The Three-Way Knockouts are also back. This time, however, artists will select their own songs to perform.
Once the Live Performance Shows begin, the top artists will compete against each other weekly during a live broadcast. This time, the television audience will vote to save their favorite artists. In the end, one artist will be named "The Voice" and receive the grand prize of a recording contract.

@@duongho7195 Elizabeth still has that teeny voice for someone young whereas Kaylee's voice is seasoned already. If Elizabeth wins this round and Kaylee doesn't get stolen, it's Kaylee's fault for not "selling" her better voice. Kaylee has a better voice but Elizabeth sold her talent better.

I replayed it multiple times, Elizabeth always went up with the notes, even if it could be mellowed down at some parts of the song. The runs she had was good, but she lacked variety. Kaylee, on the other hand, gave soft tunes, angsty ones, falsettos, and big ranges. The control was really there, it was more of vocal + mind emotions than just plain vocal emotions. I think in this battle, Kaylee was a clear winner, but Elizabeth is a fun person to coach. Good luck to both of you
