Liss just KILLED Vanessa xD in the end Vanessa was trying to hit high notes, but it wasn't really good, and she makes the song sound bad, but Liss just took this song, tore it, ate it and than sang it like "Wait, I can be MORE amazing than I am?"
I loved the raw rasp of Liss' voice in this performance but I would like to see some build, obviously with 2 minutes that's not easy but we'll see what happens as the show goes on. Still, one of my favourites this year to win
Oh dear. Two big voices literally "battling". These are my least favourite moments of the whole competition. This isn't music! From about 1:20 it was just yelling! OK, I need to calm down and make sense. I thought Liss just about took it on merit, but she will need to restrain herself if she is going to progress. I would struggle to tell you what this song was about, what the message was, from this performance. It went whizzing past my head like a firework aimed too low. We can only hope things improve from here! @UrbanPeri Join me for live tweets next week.
First time I disagree. I thought they were yelling in tone, if that makes any sense. So it wasn't unpleasant to listen in my opinion. And I also love these moments where people compete with each other as it is still a competition. Sometimes I think these competitions lost their meaning of how to really compete with each other. That's why I do like this battle, because I watch this show to see some competition. But I can understand you dislike this, because music shouldn't be like this. I think I'm kinda confusing with my words xD
Liss destroyed Vanessa. Vanessa is an amazing singer, but unfortunately in this battle she's lost control over her voice and for me, she was just screaming in the end in order to shine more than Liss, what was impossible.
This was amazing and rockie of course! Rita is a good job with the song choice and they did a great job singing it liss is incredible she deserved to go through to the knockouts vanessa is wonderful so sad that she didn't go through it's because there was no steals left so i'm so sorry for the people who loved vanessa and still do i love her still because she is a amazing singer so i'm sorry vanessa you are incredible though so good luck for the future you are amazing
I cant Believe Rita Chose this song, This song was released before Liss or Rita were even born lol! A very good song choice albeit! I loved this battle performance, and The diva came out in the both of them! I think Vanessa has an amazing voice, however she was trying to overpower liss, and that was just not going to happen... Liss has an amazing stage presence, and this is seriously from an unbiased point of view! I also feel Liss saved the song from becoming an overpowered screeching match by hitting the falsetto and by harmonising to sweeten the tone a little bit! A true Professional from beginning to end, and for that alone, deserved to win!
Not me tryna hate okay but Lissie she sings to high pitch that's all she does I love Vanessa she sings nicely not to high not to low she can do both ygm she should have won
Liss was the obvious winner. Vanessa kept oversinging and was pretty much screaming all the way through. She is talented, but this 'battle' round is bad. It's not like I would want to re-listen to a round of screaming. They aren't harmonising.
Liss honestly killed it here. her rifts very on point, she was on pitch the entire time, and just completely nailed it. The other chick at first I thought was doing good, but toward the end she was losing control.
Liss is incredible! She's my favorite contestant there's something special about her voice hope she wins and they don't cheat like last year when Christina Marie was suppose to win but they gave it to Jermain
Liss outshined the hell out of vanessa. Not that vanessa isn't good, but trying to compete with liss by showing her range (and then cracking) wasn't a good decision considering that liss's range is incredible.
I hate it when the voice becomes a screaming match, gives me a headache. It was really bad the first season i had to watch with the mute on for quite a lot of the battles and Vanessa and Lisa reminded me of those dark days, lol
Worst battle by far is harsh. For me , it's a case of both very talented and wanting it so much they pushed themselves to the limit and a bit more !!! Liss certainly a worthy winner and never went out of her capabilities. In my personal opinion , she is a dark horse to win it. A unique voice with a lot of power. Seems like a very genuine person as well which is massively important.
Joe Simpson it may be harsh but I really did not enjoy this at all. I appreciate that they both wanted it but it would have been better if they decided to work together and take turns in taking centre stage; that would have been a true battle as we would have been able to hear their voices rather than what to me just ended up sounding like two women screaming. I acknowledge that they are both talented otherwise they would not be on The Voice and I think the battles sometimes bring out the worst in people so I'm looking forward to the knockouts, then we can appreciate the true sounds of singing voices :)
Agreed . Knockouts it's up to you and your voice. I think the batlles are interesting ... It's not a case of winning the singing battle but the performing battle as well and not getting dominated and sometimes by trying to do more . Your actually doing yourself no favours. Liss certainly had the range for me and really has a unique tone. Would love to see her go far

Wow that was some battle! Liss is so good but Vanessa turned out to be just as good. This really is evenly matched. I honestly wouldn't know who to pick. Great show both of you.
Although it's called The Battles, what it's really about is working with the other singer but standing out in your own way. These two aren't working together, they're trying to outdo each other..... By screaming. They both have great voices, however this was just a massive headache.
They both need to get in I like the Lisa's grunt and personality but i like Vanessa's pushing the limits vocally but i don't like the uhhh she does at the end at the end of her notes.
Everyone says liss was amazing SHE WAS INCREDIBLE but come on Vanessa with the the type of voice she has was just Amazin the roughness like they were amazing in their own ways if it was me I would choose Vanessa reason being her roughness in the voice is rare and she has the Amazing voice she can control no offense liss was just screaming all over the place but I love them both dearly
Liss is on my team, but honestly, I would pick Vanessa. Not sure if I didn't notice it before, but Liss is quite nasal. Vanessa had a much better handle on the song. They are screaming at each other in the end. In case of Liss that didn't sound pleasant. Vanessa was alright at that stage.
Saad Loukrati Lol i got that later. However, i thought Liss was better overall. In some places Vanessa sounded better but overall i would listen to Liss instead. Just curious who did you like voice uk 2016.
Saad Loukrati Yeah i actually prefered this year to last year 2015 and 2014. However, i liked the winner Kevin, cody frost (cause she was different) and the 1st runner up (forgotten his name) and chloe (she was my preference to win, but left due to emergencies).
