The Battles Are Here

By Vanessa Obioha

After a fierce knockout, team Darey finally drew the curtains on the Knockouts round. The Battles, which is the final round that allows coaches to decide the fate of talents, will kick off tomorrow.

Last week’s episode showed that bein g the last team to perform can be advantageous. Of all the six talents in Darey’s team, only one talent went home: Blessing.

Rachel, Jeremiah and Esther are the only talents saved by the coach, while Dapo who got two steals from Falz and Waje, joined Falz’ team; and Ayomikun is now on Waje’s team. Interestingly, Darey stole KPee from team Falz while the latter stole Dapo from him.

Each coach now has four talents going to the Battles where the talents will compete against each other for a slot in the live performance. Out of the 24 talents that participated in the Knockouts round, only 16 are in the Battles. They are Rachel, Jeremiah, Esther and KPee (Team Darey); Naomi Mac, Tamara, Peace and Dapo (Team Falz); Nuel Ayo, Inioluwa, Eazzie and Ayomikun (Team Waje); and Vanilla, Kitay, Toeseen and Anu (Team Yemi Alade).

The Battles will see only two talents from each team advance to the live performance where voters will have the opportunity to keep their favourite talent on the show, and perhaps, clinch the coveted title of the winner of The Voice Nigeria third season. Apart from the talents, fans of the show stand a chance to be rewarded by First Bank. Every week, the bank which prides itself on creating interventions in the entertainment industry posts trivia questions about the show on their social media platforms. Six fans who answer these questions correctly are rewarded with prizes. The First Bank Moments, according to the bank, is a way of connecting fans to the show beyond entertainment.
