Tonight’s episode: The Battle Rounds continue, it’s night five and Cee Lo is up first with Alexis Marceaux vs. Daniel Rosa with Rob Thomas sitting in to help with the mentoring as they practice to perform, “What Do You Want From Me”.

Judges Comments: Adam loves the way Daniel sings with all his soul. Blake thinks it just comes down to someone’s taste. Christina thinks Daniel needs to turn his performance out to the audience; she loves risk takers and thinks Alexis took it tonight.

Cee-Lo has to decide who is continuing on and who is going home, he chooses Daniel to remain in the competition. None of the other judges are interested in stealing Alexis.

Up next are two hopefuls from Team Adam, Brandon Mahone vs. Nicole Nelson, they are being mentored with the help of music superstar, Mary J. Blige and singing, “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough”. Brandon is lacking confidence and gets a little pep talk from Mary to help him, meanwhile, Adam thinks that with Nicole, less is more.

Judges Comments: Blake thought that each did a good job, Brandon’s charm was amazing but he would pick Nicole. Christina thought it was a perfect song choice, she would pick Nicole for consistency. Cee Lo thought it was an even battle, but he loved Brandon’s swagger.

Adam has to make a choice, he chooses to have Nicole continue with his team. Unfortunately, Brandon does not get stolen by the other judges.

Other performers tonight were Brian Scartocci vs. Loren Allred, Adam picked Loren to continue on his team, Cassadee Pope vs. Ryan Jirovec, Blake picked Cassadee to continue on his team and Joe Kirkland vs. Samuel Mouto, Adam picks Joe to continue on his team.

The final battle tonight is on Team Christina, Devyn Delora vs. Marissa Anne with mentoring help from Billy Joe Armstrong and they are singing, “Free Your Mind”.

Judges Comments: Cee Lo thinks Devyn had a mature voice, but he would go with Marissa. Adam thought they were evenly matched and Marissa has a huge career ahead of her. Blake picks Marissa because she is only fifteen years old and blew him away.

Christina has to make a decision and it won’t be an easy one, she picks Devyn. Blake doesn’t even give Marissa time to think about leaving the competition, he steals her.

The end!
