‘The Voice’ Season 22 Battle Rounds Episode 4 Live Recap
Team Gwen: Kique vs. Tanner Howe
Coach Gwen Stefani matched singers Kique and Tanner Howe together in the first battle of the night to “Don’t You (Forget About Me)” by Simple Minds, which Gwen calls a “perfect song”. She hopes the two will blow the audience away with their performance, and advisor Sean Paul told them not to deviate too much from the song as written.
The two practiced for days leading up to the battle, and the practice paid off. Gwen ended up choosing Kique as the winner of the battle, and Tanner Howe was eliminated.
Team Blake: Hillary Torchiana vs. Kevin Hawkins
Blake Shelton gave Hillary Torchiana and Kevin Hawkins “Preach” by fellow coach John Legend, who was blocked by Gwen from choosing piano teacher Kevin Hawkins in the blind auditions. Advisor Jimmie Allen agreed with Blake that not every high note is needed, and that the competitors will have to get over their nerves at singing John Legend’s song in front of him.
The performance earned a standing ovation from John, and all the coaches chose Kevin as their winner. Blake had the final decision and gave the win to Kevin Hawkins. Hillary Torchiana was eliminated.
Team Camila: Sasha Hurtado vs. Devix
Camila gave the two indie 20-something singers “Electric Feel” by MGMT. Advisor Charlie Puth cautioned them to sing out to the audience, and coach Camila expressed concern that they wouldn’t come out of their shells, and told the two to “practice having fun” prior to the performance.
“What the hell?! That was so beautiful!” Gwen said after the performance, and John agreed it was his favorite of the day.
While her fellow coaches were split, Camila chose to send Devix on to the Knockouts, but Sasha Hurtado did not go home. Gwen used her Steal, and Sasha Hurtado is now on Team Gwen.
Team Legend: Kim Cruse vs. David Andrew
The next battle of the night, between Kim Cruse and David Andrew of Team Legend, was to Giveon’s “Heartbreak Anniversary”, which both contestants said they related to. Advisor Jazmine Sullivan noted that David was applying notes they gave him between practices of the song, and warned them not to get in each other’s way.
After the performance, John complimented David’s joy and clarity as a singer, and Kim’s tone and control over her voice, calling her an “elite vocalist”. The winner of this battle was Kim Cruse. David Andrew has been eliminated.
Team Blake: Kate Kalvach vs. Madison Hughes
The fifth battle between Kate Kalvach and Madison Hughes was to “Every Rose Has Its Thorn” by Poison. Blake told both singers that he thinks they are capable of more during the rehearsals and hoped to see both of them push further in the final performance.
Camila said Kate has her favorite voice in the competition right now, and all of the coaches loved Madison’s alto tone, which Coach Blake compared to Elvis Presley. Blake gave the win to Kate Kalvach, and Madison Hughes went home.
Team Gwen: Alyssa Witrado vs. Ian Harrison
“The Voice” shared a sneak peek of tonight’s final battle between Alyssa Witrado and Ian Harrison to Billie Eilish’s “Happier Than Ever”. In rehearsal, coach Gwen and advisor Sean told the singers to “saturate” the performance with their style, facial expressions, and of course their vocals.
“Gwen is in trouble again, man,” Sean said of the coach’s looming decision.
John and Camila both said they would choose Alyssa, while Blake gave the win to Ian, crediting his shock factor. Gwen decided to send Alyssa Witrado on to the Knockouts, but Ian Harrison did not go home.
Coach John Legend used his Steal, and Ian Harrison is now on Team Legend.
At the end of the night, only Blake’s Save remains. With six battles remaining, only seven more artists will move on to the Knockouts tomorrow night.
