Any concerns that the Battle Rounds on this show would be less entertaining than the swivel-chair audition rounds were obliterated last week, when two of Christina Aguilera’s singers climbed into the ring and tore up the same Alicia Keys song. Jesse Campbell and Anthony Evans both killed it, but only one could advance to the next round. I also loved it when Christina Aguilera brought in Jewel as a guest mentor, and Jewel promptly advised one singer to focus on the song’s lyrics and true emotion, and not to throw in unnecessary musical runs and trills just to show off – an Aguilera hallmark. (Awwwk-ward.) Tonight, the battle rounds continue – perhaps, again, between some of the judges and their mentors.
