The Voice Recap: Christina Aguilera Uses Final Steal As Battle Rounds End

Jordan Pruitt

The battle rounds on season three of The Voice have come to an end. On last nights (October 23) episode, coachesBlake Shelton,Cee-Lo Green andChristina Aguilera paired up their last few singers and got them ready for battle with the help of special guest mentorsGreen DaysBillie Joe Armstrong, Matchbox TwentysRob Thomas, andMichael Buble.

With so few spots left before the new knockout round begins, the acts had to really bring it. And with Christina Aguilera having the seasons last steal, there was really no room for error if the singers wanted to make it to the next stage of the competition. Heres what went down.:

Adriana Louise vs. Jordan Pruitt: Adriana is finding Jordans years of Disney experience a littleintimidating during rehearsals. Christina and Billie Joe Armstrong agree that both singers have great voices but they need to work on making the song, Katy Perrys Hot N Cold, more their own. Xtina is specifically looking for moreaggression. During the battle, Jordans experience really pays off as she works the stage like a pro. But Adriana isnt going out without a fight. She finds her moment to hit a high note that impresses the crowd and the coaches. Although Xtina connects with Jordan as a former Disney kid herself, she picks Adriana for the win.

Kelly Crapa vs. Michaela Paige: 15-year-old Kelly and 16-year-old Michaela has got Michael Buble feeling old! Their talent has got him blown away though. For their first rehearsal ofI Hate Myself for Loving You by Joan Jettand the Blackhearts, Michaela comes out swinging with some big notes! . It takes a while for Kelly to find her groove but by the last practice, shes surprising Blake with her strong voice. During the battle, both girls bring it but Michaelas one year on Kelly really shows and Blake picks her for that reason.

Avery Wilson vs. Chevonne: Cee-Los given Avery and Chevonne David Guetta and Sias Titanium for the battle he calls youth versus experience. Chevonne receives nothing but praise on day one of rehearsals. Avery on the other hand needs some work. He gets it together in time for the real battle where they fight it out with high notes, adlibs and dramatics. Cee-Lo believes Chevonnes performance suffered because of her over-the-top stage presence so he picks Avery as the winner. Oddly enough, it was her dramatic stage antics that impressed Christina enough to use her very last steal.
