Battles Night 1 Notes:
-----------------------------
1. TBH this was a weird night lmao. I honestly thought that all the battles were great in some parts and meh in other parts. Usually I LOVE a couple battles and HATE a couple battles, but I didn't hate any of them.
2. The battle that I did love was between Shana and Christiana, though. I had doubts about Shana during her audition, but DAMN, I really enjoyed her here. With that being said, Christiana is really making a case for being one of my favorite contestants on The Voice. I know it's early, but if she keeps it up, she could become one of my favorites. Her voice is absolutely incredible. I'm sad Shana wasn't stolen, she deserved it.
3. D.R. and Jackie were really good, even though they were both shaky in some parts. Overall, their performance was very enjoyable. D.R. surprised me.
4. Rayshun and Tish both sounded good. Tish definitely should've won that battle, as Rayshun was meh in some parts of the performance, but she was stolen anyways. With that being said, I don't see either of them going to the lives, imo, because I feel like they'll both get fucked over by song choices in the knockouts lol
5. Jamai and Sharane were good too, but idk if I cared for the rendition of the song. They are both really talented, though, and it sucks to see Jamai go.
6. I thought Brynn and Dylan's performance was overrated, because I feel like there was so much going on throughout the performance lmao, but I guess it was fun to watch. Brynn clearly performed better, vocally, so I'm glad she won. Brynn has a great voice. I don't think Dylan should have been stolen though lmao.
7. I didn't care for JessLee and Kyla's performance. JessLee was all over the place, and although Kyla was good, I don't think that was the right song choice for her lol.
**LET ME KNOW IF YOU'D LIKE TO BE TAGGED OR UNTAGGED**

Idk how you thought DR won that, to me, Jackie clearly won. And tbh I liked Rayshun more than Tish. Maybe it’s just cuz I know that someone like Tish will never win the voice, but Rayshun was more interesting to me
adamsel They both were great tbh. I think D.R. had a strong lead throughout the beginning of the performance, and then Jackie came back at the end, but I think D.R.'s voice fit that song really well.
Either way, their harmonizing was amazing. I wouldn't say either of them clearly won that lmao. The only part I wasn't a fan of D.R. was at 1:50, but it wasn't his fault lmao whoever made that rendition of the song fucked it up lol cuz I wanted his note to be resolved like it is on the record...but since it's a battle, I guess they wanted both of them to make that note higher? Idk lol
Kob3sm1th I guess "clearly" wasn't the right word to use, but like it wasn't close for me. The harmonies they were equal and individually like verse vs. verse I liked Jackies better. And then at the end obviously Jackie destroyed D.R.
