BATTLE #3: Chris Jamison vs. Sam Smith
Chris Jamison - Alright vocally this was very strong and I enjoyed it plus you changed the song up and made me really jam out to you, however my biggest issue in this performance is the use of backing vocals, like I didn't like that at all since I'd rather hear you raw and unfiltered voice so unfortunately it really brought this performance down for me.
Sam Smith - This was a huge step down from last performance, as it seemed you were connected to the song, and the only thing that I really enjoyed was the beginning when the song was being changed up. During the chorus I just cringed because your voice was drowned out by the choir and the choir wasn't great emphasising why I hate backing vocals since they can hurt your voice.
Not so strong showings from either of you so I have to go with the one I preferred more.
The winner of this battle
