Last night (11/16) was the final night of the Battle Rounds on season 19 of The Voice. Who did Blake Shelton keep and steal for Team Blake in final battles?
The first of two remaining Team Blake battles was between 30-year-old Ian Flanigan and 36-year-old Aaron Scott. Blake paired the two singers with a classic rock flair to their styles. However, Aaron has a big voice with a more soaring range while Ian has a unique, rich, baritone voice. Blake has the two sing “Have You Ever Seen The Rain” by Creedence Clearwater Revival.
The unique sound of Ian’s voice motivated Blake to keep him on Team Blake for the Knockout Rounds. That ended Aaron’s time on the show.
Blake’s final pairing of the Battle Rounds is between Sam Stacy at 27-years-old and Ben Allen at 42-years-old. Blake gives these two the Zac Brown Band song “Free.” This choice was revealed in one of those montage videos that I have stated I do not like for 19 seasons as of this blog. Blake chose to keep Ben Allen on Team Blake sending Sam home.
If you have watched the show from the beginning (as I have), you know Blake often holds his “Steal” to use late in the round. This was the case again this season. The final pairing of the Battle Rounds was between Team Legend’s Cami Clune and James Pyle. The two performed Boy & Bear’s Cover of Chris Isaak’s “Wicked Game.” Both artists brought everything they had to the performance. The winner of the battle is not revealed in video below as it was posted last Friday (11/13) as a sneak peek at last night’s episode.
John Legend chose to keep Cami Clune on Team Legend. That gave Blake the chance to “Steal” James Pyle for Team Blake.
