Idol Chatter & Voice Views

The Voice has announced the final eight battle round pairings that will be featured in Monday night’s episode.

Unfortunately, I have a feeling two of those battles will be montaged since the show’s typical pace is six battles in a two-hour time slot.

One that won’t be montaged is the Team John Legend duo of Cedrice and Thunderstorm Artis. The show has already leaked their performance of “Stay” and it’s certainly worth watching and hearing.

Nick Jonas calls the performance “out of this world” as both Cedrice and Thunderstorm proved their superb battle round performances weren’t a fluke.

And don’t be surprised if it results in a steal. Remember, entering the final night of battles, Nick and Blake Shelton still have their steals remaining. Kelly Clarkson has yet to use her save.

Here are the other performances we’ll see Monday night.
