Stay is already up as tonight’s featured video. http://www.nbc.com/the-voice
I think picking tonight’s best performance was easy!!!

I never knew “Addicted to Love” was supposed to be a creepy song. And I think Christina picked the wrong girl.

I think Christina is an idiot. Why do you pair two great singers? Did she not know how good that guy was?

The last battle was the best battle of the night.

Clinton and India weren’t in a battle round. It sounded more like an artistic collaboration. They sounded like they have performed together for a long time. Refreshing to see this occur and only wish 2 competitors tried to sound good together rather than outshine the other. Adam got himself a good one in Clinton. He didn’t turn his chair in the blinds (only Christina did), but now he has a chance to go far with him.

I respected Pharrell’s belief that he could help Lowell more than Kimberly and that’s why he chose Lowell. I really like Kimberly, but Lowell fills the show’s bigger need for a throwback, bluesy, crooner. Glad Christina stole Kimberly, however, because she is too good to go home this early.

I don’t want to forget about Cody Wickline and Meghan Linsey (Team Blake)…

Look at Pharrell steals. His team was plundered.

Meghan does nothing for me. Maybe it is the hair.

Kimberly sounds like a mix between Betty Carter and Eartha Kitt. I like her. The Hound Dog song was awful.

I like Cody.

I am still going with India. Hopefully Christina doesn’t mess her up.

I really like Sawyer. A lot of poise for his age.

Blake and Pharrell switched steals. Pharrell and Blake also kept most of their earlier choices. Nobody saved an early pick of Adam, and for good reasons. His team was quite weak but he upgraded it. A lot of cannon fodder left.

Sawyer blew me away. Love his voice.

I like Sawyer, too. Tonight was the first time I had seen him because I missed the first episode of the show.

I agree with doschicos, dstark, and musicmom1215-- Sawyer is definitely one of the ones to watch! Hard to believe he’s only 15-years old.

I hope they get rid of the boxing ring set next season. They really are more memorable when they partner rather than slug it out!

I really like Sawyer, and I was very happy that Pharrell kept him. I was really afraid that because he reined himself in to sing with Nicole that it wouldn’t happen.

I thought that the Hound Dog duet was fascinating, and I was glad that Lowell won AND that Kimberly was saved by a steal.

I totally do not get the love for Hannah. Not worthy of a steal, IMHO.

Very glad that Cody won. Like the other kid, but he won’t win.

PS Treva was the wrong pick, IMHO

I can’t remember how they do the next round. Do they go against their own team again? Any more stealing or is that the end of steals?

In the next segment, the knockout round, same team members compete against each other (individually, but paired up) and all the coaches get one more steal.

Last season, Blake “stole back” Craig Wayne Boyd in the knockout round after letting him go in the battle round. As you may recall, he went on to win.

Wait a minute…are the battle rounds over? I don’t recall seeing India in a battle, and I was waiting to hear her again. Did I miss something?

ETA: obviously I missed it. Can someone tell me which night it appeared?

2nd most popular battle on itunes after Sawyer’s.

My appreciation for Sawyer has risen a thousand percent after hearing Daniel, another 15-year-old, perform on American Idol this week.

@dstark, thank you. Wow. That was pretty incredible.
