‘The Voice,’ The Day After: Dishing About the Battle Rounds, Week 1

The Voice Season 12’s Battle Rounds kicked off this week, and one of the standout Battles was between Chris Blue and RJ Collins — a stupendous performance that got Gwen Stefani so riled up, her boyfriend Blake Shelton actually seemed a little jealous.

Watch that drama unfold in the video below…

But there’s more drama where that came from! In the video above, Gwen’s finalist from Season 9, Jeffery Austin, and I get riled up in entirely different ways, as we discuss the rest of the week’s contestants — from the good (a three-way Steal for Ashley Levin), to the bad (the elimination of Sammie Zonana, the montaging of Josh West), to the just plain bizarre (um, “Walking on Sunshine”???).

Let the Battles — and the discussion — begin.
