The Voice gave country fans a Battle Round to remember on Monday night. Kayleigh Mathews and Lillie Kolich, both members of Team Queen, took on Little Big Town’s“Girl Crush,”and the performance had every coach praising them. Queen Latifah ended up picking Kolich as the winner and said plainly that neither singer deserved to go home.
The show wasn’t done with Mathews. Kelly Clarkson hit her steal buzzer, and Riley Green immediately followed with a steal of his own, giving the Tucson country singer a genuine choice between two heavyweights. Mathews is no overnight story either. She earned a four-chair turn back in the blind auditions, so this double steal is a full-circle moment for her.
Now it comes down to Tuesday night. Mathews chooses between Clarkson and Green on the Oct. 13 episode at 8 p.m. ET on NBC. Which coach would you want her to pick, and whose team do you think takes the season?
