The Voice Recap: The Battles Conclude ...


After four weeks, the battle rounds are over on The Voice. Each coach’s team is now complete, with America voting on the 16 finalists' fates from now on.

Who were the final four aspirants to qualify for the finals? Let's take a look at last night's battles and see who made it through on the NBC competition ...

Team Adam: Jeff Jenkins vs. Casey Desmond

These two teamed up on Elton John’s “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me.” Casey was a strong contender, but she ultimately couldn’t beat Jeff ...

Team Blake: Sara Oromchi vs. Xenia

Two of the youngest contestants, and two of the shiest. They tried to overcome these obstacles with a rendition of “I’ll Stand By You,” and they did.

Team Christina: Cherie Oakley vs. Lily Elise

Kelly Clarkson’s “Since U Been Gone” was the song, and her advice was, as usual, inspirational, not technical. "Let down the walls” and “go for it!”

The singers need more guidance than that, especially on a song that is very hard to sing without coming off screechy. But what can you do, right?

Both impressed at times, but Lily had better stage presence than her competition, and that swagger gave her just enough of a boost to get by ...

Team Cee Lo: Emily Valentine vs. Curtis Grimes

While Emily admitted she had a tiny crush on Curtis, the cowboy said he wouldn’t be distracted by a potential love match during "Need You Now."

Supposedly. They ended the performance with a kiss! Unfortunately for one of the singers (Emily) there was also a kiss goodbye afterward ...
