I was a bit confused to have the public voting already. I guess we'll see tonight who survives and of course the saves will be used.

Legend, Adam
Levine and Blake
Shelton – go head-to-head, each selecting one
artist from their team to compete against an artist from an
opposing team in a Live Cross Battle performance. And for
the first time, America's vote will ultimately decide the
winner of each Cross Battle and who earns a spot in the Top
24 live show.The Voice 16 Live Cross Battles Twist –
NBC Reveals All the DetailsVoting
begins tonight as half of the remaining 32 contestants vie
for your votes. Host Carson
Daly reveals the winners during Tuesday's results
show. Each coach will have one save and one steal. For how
to vote this week and beyond, check out our The Voice voting
guide:How to Vote on The Voice 16: Everything You
Need to KnowIs
anyone else a little skeptical that this will actually
work?
Tonight
we are making Voice history, two artists will battle each
other LIVE for your votes.  Welcome to the cross
battles!What
did Adam to do his hair?  They introduce each
team..

Tonight
half of the artists will compete.  They have no idea
who they are going to get paired against.We
turn to Blake he selects Kim Cherry to be the first artist
to be selected for the cross battle.  Which coach will
Blake challenge for the cross battle?  He decides to go
after the champ, he picks Team Kelly!  Since Blake
takes the rapper, Kelly picks the rocker.

Kim
Cherry (Team Blake) Poison  vs.  Betsy Ade (Team
Kelly) You Ought to Know
Recaps
of both of their auditions and battles…Kim
is up first singing Poison.  This was a good
high-energy first pick, hard song to sing.  She's
going to need to step it up a bit to beat Betsy.  She
is talking rather than singing, but good with rhythm.
 Rap ends with a chuckle.  She goes into singing
for the end, and hits a few wailing notes.  Big note at
the end.  All four judges on their feet, audience loved
it.
Betsy
takes the stage with You Ought to Know.  Man, this song
is hard too.  Her lower register isn't very good to
start.  Not sure this was a good song choice.  She
wails and belts in the chorus, but she sounds off key or
something, not sure but something doesn't sound right.
 Throws her jacket into the audience.  Stronger
ending.  Kelly and John on their feet.
I
think Kim won that personally, Betsy was a little off.
 Blake says what a great way to kick off the cross
battles, we've never had anybody like Kim on the show
before.  Vote for Kim!  Kelly tells Betsy she's
obssessed with her, she's so captivated.  The two of
them stand out from the norm.  Adam compliments Betsy
for taking her jacket off,  Betsy really killed it.
 He's giving it to Betsy. John says what a way to
start the show, with energy and passion.  They set the
night off right.  There may be a steal in somebody's
future.Voting
opens at the end of the show, go pick and the winner of this
battle!

Adam picks an artist after a 60 second
break!

Any
of these coaches could see their whole team almost wiped out
during these battles.  Who is Adam going to pick for
his first battle?  Adam picks Mari for his first artist
to battle.  Adam chooses to challenge Team Blake!
 Blake is putting up another contestant already?
 Wow…  Blake chooses Selkii.

Mari (Team Adam)
 My, My, My vs.  Selkii (Team
Blake) TornMore
recaps of these two artists.Mari
is up first.  She is wearing a blue jump suit, and she
sounds pretty good.  This song is an interesting
choice.  Her enunciation is a little rough in spots.
 She's moving comfortably on the stage.  She has
so much confidence.  Belting towards the end, but the
song kind of goes nowhere.  Adam on his feet.
 That was meh.


Selki
coming up next…Better
song choice from Selki, should be in her wheelhouse.
 She is guitarless.  She sounds very nervous, and
a little rough on low notes to start off.  The key is
too low for her.  She's putting runs in, and is
hitting some bigger notes, but this still isn't very good.
 Maybe I'm just too harsh tonight..  That was
just okay.  Not sure I can call a winner on that.
 I would say slight edge Mari.
Adam
tells Mari she's amazing, she's so comfortable, amazing
vibe.  He's a fan he wants to see her move forward.
 Blake says they both did a great job, Selkii is one of
his favorites he's ever worked with on the show.
 She's the real deal.  John preferred Mari's
performance today, she came off more stylish and confident.
 Kelly knows the kind of artist Mari is going to be,
and Selkii is intriguing.  Kelly also says Mari won
out.Continuing
right away…\
John
Legend is in the hot seat!
John
picks Lisa first.  John also challenges Kelly.
 Kelly says she's excited to see this performance so
she picks Karen.Lisa
Ramey (Team Legend) It Hurts so Bad  vs.  Karen
Galera   (Team Kelly)
 UnfaithfulWe
take a look at their recaps.Their
battle is live next!Lisa
is up first with It Hurts so Bad.  Pretty good opening,
she's wearing a short, red leather dress.  She is
also hard to understand in places, but she's really
wailing on this song.  She's tearing up the notes,
audience is really getting into it.  Bit wailing note
at the end.  Several coaches on their feet.
Oh…
she's way off key.  She is more subtle and tender
then Lisa was in her opening.  I don't think this
song fits her style.  Oh, now she's singing in
Spanish.  She sounds really nervous.  Big note,
it's so hard to sing in Spanish, she gets a few bonus
points for that.  But I think Karen took
that.
John
is proud Lisa is on his team, she was fierce tonight!
 Kelly's favorite thing about Karen is her tone,
blessed with an amazing tone, especially for 19.  She
held her own against Lisa.  Adam thought it was great,
said it was Lisa's best performance.  Blake tells
them they both did a great job, he seconds what Adam said
about Lisa.Up
next two more artists from rival teams face off!Coach
Kelly Clarkson is up.  She picks Matthew Johnson, we
finally get a guy tonight.  Kelly challenges Adam for
this cross battle!  Adam picks Domenic to go up against
Matthew.Matthew
Johnson (Team Kelly)  Who's Loving You? vs. 
Dominic Haynes (Team Adam)  Damn Your
EyeRecaps
of their journey so far.Matthew
is up first.  This is a good song choice, and he is
confident.  All his signature runs and smoothness so
far.  He really gets into it, Kelly's on her feet.
 Smooth, powerful ending.  John is on his feet too
as Matthew goes into falsetto.  That was probably the
best of the night so far.Straight
ahead Domenic Haynes…Domenic
takes the stage.  He's so good too..  He has a
such a unique, raspy tone.  He hits big notes too but
he has a lower range that has an emotional rasp to it.
 He never really wails, but he emotionally sold that
song, he sounded like he was going to burst into tears.
 That was close, I prefer Domenic's style, but
Matthew slayed that.Kelly
tells Domenic he nailed it.  Matthew's voice with
this song, was so impressive.  Adam says
Domenic is one of the most honest, raw, emotional,
powerful singers the show has ever had.  He has the
most important thing, he can do it with emotion.  John
says it's interesting he wanted them both on his team.
 Domenic's stage presence, stood out.
 Matthew's singing was flawless.  Blake agrees
that he won't help America.  It's hard not to watch
Matthew, he has so much fun.  Domenic's performance
was so good.Kelly
composes herself and picks Presley to be the next battler.
 Kelly challenges Team Legend!  John picks Kayslin
to battle, because she's a teenaged power
singer.Presley
Tennant (Team Kelly) Love on the Brain  vs.
 Kayslin Victoria
 (Team Legend) Stay More
recaps of the battles and audtions.  Presley is up
first.  She's wailing in full voice right from the
start, and hitting some great high notes.  Very
confident on the stage.  She's tearing up this song
and the stage.  Kelly is already on her feet.
 She's really good, doesn't seem nervous moving
around the stage, hitting all the big notes.  She
slayed that.   Audience loved that…Kayslin
is up in 30 seconds!Kayslin
starts off strong too, though her lower register isn't as
good.  She's also very confident, moving around the
stage.  She's also hitting some big notes.  Her
performance is subdued in places, she yells "come on" to
the audience.  She moves over to her fellow contestants
and ends there.  I think Presley took that, that was
slayage.  Let's see what coaches think.Kelly
asks Presley what just happened.  Kelly says it was the
best she's ever done, she's insane.  John tells
Kayslin he's proud of her, her energy, her vibe.
 Blake can already hear huge differences in them since
they taped the battles.  Shame on America for having to
pick between them.  Adam tells them they were great.
 Presley blew him away, it was her best performance.
 Kayslin was consistent, but Presley completed
surprised him.Another
live cross battle! Adam is in the hot seat.  He picks
Celia to battle.  Adam eternally challenges Blake.
 Blake picks Oliv.Celia
Babini (Team Adam)   Thousand Years vs.  Oliv Blu
(Team Blake) GravityClips
of their journeys so far.And
the battle after the break…Celia
is up first, her voice is so distinct, she has such a rich
low tone.  Not my taste, but she is so unique.
 This outfit is terrible, but she sounds good, a little
off on some of the lower notes, but mostly a solid
performance.  A little rough in some spots especially
in lower register as she finishes, and a bum note.  Eh
that was just okay, the ending was not that good, and was
pitchy.Oliv
is up next with a John Mayer song Gravity.  She is
doing this stylistically different from what we've seen,
she's acting the song out in parts.  There's some
interesting runs and phrases in here, and some wailing.
 She sounds good, good range, not over doing it.
 She's really into the song.  Several coaches on
their feet.  Oliv won that hands down for me.Adam
tells them they are both different.  Celia is bigger
then one moment, she's a powerful singer.  She
can't be everything she is in one song.   Blake says
Oliv just literally jumped on the radar, here, by far her
best performance.  It was hypnotizing.  John tells
them he loves them both, he preferred Oliv's energy and
twist.  He's seen Celia do better.  Kelly is a
big fan of them both.  They both have a sense of who
they are.When
we come back.. Blake is up again!Blake
picks his Alabama boy Dexter.  Adam dares him to do it.
 So he challenges Team Adam.  Adam picks Andrew to
fight fire with fire.Dexter
Roberts (Team Blake) Believe  vs.  Andrew Jannakos
 (Team Adam) Yours Dexter
is up first.  Traditional country song, the demo is
going to eat this up.  He starts off with talking
though, but gets to the bridge with the usual power in his
voice.  He's hitting a few bum notes too, I wonder if
the sound is off a bit tonight.  Emotional and solid on
the chorus, big notes too.  Kelly & Blake on their
feet.Straight
ahead Andrew is up.. and then the final pairing of the
night.Andrew's
up singing Yours.  Oh a good country song choice here
too.  Can an Adam country contestant best a Team
Blaker?  He's doing a good job with this song, it's
a little boring, but he has a good country voice.
 He's comfortable on stage, seems confident.
 He's pitchy in a few spots, really big note at the
end.  All coaches but Blake on their feet.Blake
says this was a tough one.  Dexter that song is sacred
ground, you made it your own and did it justice.  Adam
tells Andrew there is no one more country than Dexter.
 Andrew not only competed with Dexter, but his range
was unbelievable, and he's legit.  Kelly thinks
it's interesting, Andrew shocked her, he's incredibly
gifted.  Dexter represents old country, Kelly gives it
to Dexter because of the song.  John thinks they were
both great, he preferred Andrew, wowed him.You
at home will pick the winner at the end of the
show!Last
cross battle pairing of the night is up now.  John
Legend is up.  Ah Maelyn is up… I feel bad for
whoever goes against her.  John challenges Adam at his
request.  Damn, Adam's whole team could go home
tonight.  Adam loves getting challenged.   He
picks Rod.  Adam was not smart, this pairing..
 UM.Maelyn
Jarmon  (Team Legend)  Mad World vs.  Rod
Stokes (Team Adam)  How Am I Supposed to live without
You?More
recaps of their auditions..  Wow Maelyn picked a HUGE
song.  But damn, she's good.  I've already got
chills.  This is an emotional, powerful performance she
is putting her own spin on it, and it's pretty flawless so
far.  John is on his feet.  That was unreal, I
can't believe more coaches aren't on their feet for
that. Flawless.Rod
up now, he picked a good song for his genre.  This song
shows off his voice.  He sounds a little strained and
nervous on the high notes.  Adam is on his feet.
 He's belting this song out, good tone, and range.
 Very respectable performance and against anyone else
it might win.  Kelly and Adam on their feet.John
says style is different, Maelyn is a gifted singer.
 She has subtle, intelligent stylistic choices, great
control.  Amazing.  Adam says Maelyn is
incredible, but the story tonight is Rod.  Rod came out
here and took the house down.  He really stepped it up.
 No comments from other coaches.Tomorrow night we find out the results!  All
LIVE!  See you tomorrow!
