Saturday April 16, 2022 took place the last battles of the season of The Voice 2022. In groups of two, the last candidates to pass competed on the same song, chosen by their coaches. As in previous weeks, Talent theft was possible, making the outcome of the show uncertain until the last minute. But in the end, each coach had his team ready for the cross-battles!
AMEL BENT’S TEAM
Battle between Marie, Ambriel and Duchelle
The three candidates sang on the title fighter by Christina Aguilera. A tube that corresponded to them totally according to Amel Bent, who saw in them great warriors. Together, they showed a lot of energy. It was very difficult to decide between them. Vianney and Florent Pagny nevertheless had a slight preference for Marie, while Marc Lavoine was more seduced by Ambriel, believing that she accompanied the music best. All were in any case agreed to confirm that they had offered a real show. Amel Bent decided to keep Mary for the rest of the adventure. She has an appointment at the cross-battles.
Battle between Raphaël, Mattéo and Nicolas
The all-male trio performed on stage performing Janie’s hit, My idol. A very moving song. Raphaël, Mattéo and Nicolas showed great symbiosis. “You offer beauty, you are on the right path, I am proud of you“, addressed to them Amel Bent very moved. The choice was heartbreaking for the coach but she decided to keep matteo, the most prepared for the rest of the adventure according to her despite her very young age, namely 17 years old. He has an appointment at the cross-battles.
Battle between Ollie and Cherine
It’s a rock and melancholy battle that then took place. As soon as she recruited Ollie and Chérine in her team, Amel Bent wanted to see them sing The Reason of the Hoobastank group. On this planetary tube, the mission was to offer a nostalgic moment. At the end of their performance, the coaches were all very divided. Amel Bent decided to keep Cherine. She has an appointment at the cross-battles.
VIANNEY TEAM
Battle between Henry and Pauline
Henry had almost made Vianney cry during the blind auditions thanks to his sensitivity and his moving personal story marked by the death of his brother. For her part, Pauline had taken a little longer to convince the coach, but the latter was still assured of his great talent at the end of his audition. Vianney decided to blackmail them on I fly by Michel Sardou. This battle was very moving and touched the heart of the four coaches. “A little jewel, it was magnificent“, judged in particular Florent Pagny. Very touched, and with tears in his eyes, Vianney decided to follow the opinion of the other judges and to keep Pauline. She has an appointment at the cross-battles.
Battle between Lena and Ila
Vianney made them compete on The Winner takes it all, the cult song of the group ABBA. With a smooth and less energetic cover than the original, Ila and Lena took on the challenge of making the song their own. “You did a crazy job, you didn’t give up and it’s an incredible job, congratulations“, dropped their coach. He seduced Amel Bent, Florent Pagny and Marc Lavoine and Vianney. She has an appointment at the cross-battles.
Amel Bent buzzed for Lena to be drafted into the adventure. She joins his team for the cross-battles and thus takes the place of Natalie, the first candidate she had stolen.
Battle between Mister Mat and Maseko
It’s certain The candies of Jacques Brel that this battle took place. Maseko struggled to get hold of the song, which he doesn’t like at all and finds it very strange. Unlike Mister Mat who grew up with this kind of hits. Finally, it’s “a moment of magic” which they offered to the public. Vianney was overwhelmed to attend the performance of “two colossi with a child’s heart“. But something happened according to him with Mr Matt. He decided to keep it for the rest of the adventure, he has an appointment at the cross-battles.
FLORENT PAGNY’S TEAM
Battle between Thomas and Kevin
On the title of Josh Groban, You raise Me Up, they blew the audience away, achieving great vocal prowess. Which necessarily annoyed their coach. “It’s amazing to see that battles become sublime duos. We are going to look for small things, Thomas he has this power and Kevin he is able to climb very high. Which means that…“, he declared while continuing to hesitate over his choice. Finally, Florent Pagny decided to keep kevin. He has an appointment at the cross-battles.
Battle between Amber and Elise
For the last match in Florent Pagny’s team, the coach brought together Ambre and Elise on stage on the title of Richard Cocciante, Sunburn. Both gave their all and worked hard to deliver a successful performance and it is clear that their efforts paid off. Elise nevertheless remained more reserved when she was the one who mastered her technique the most. Amber on the contrary, truly embodied the story of the song, which was greatly appreciated. And in particular to Florent Pagny who decided to keep it. She has an appointment at the cross-battles.
MARC LAVOINE’S TEAM
Battle between Maestrina and Stephen
Maestrina and Stephen have a lot in common. They both demonstrated a wild and very rock’n’roll side during their blind auditions. Between them, it was the battle “of foufous” as Maestrina nicknamed it. It is with the same spirit that they sang on I saw of Niagara, and they gave it their all. Unanimously, however, the other three coaches preferred Maestrina, who managed to dominate the battle with her voice but also with her stage presence. Marc Lavoine decided to keep Maestrina for the rest of the adventure. She has an appointment at the cross-battles.
Battle between Axel, Caroline and Fabien
It’s still a three-way battle that Marc Lavoine had to compose. For the occasion, he decided to combine the very different and unique voices of Fabien, Axel and Caroline on the title Heavy Cross from Gossip. The harmonies of their voices worked very well. “It made me happy to see you sing together, so connected, it was wonderful“, said Marc Lavoine. The latter still felt that carolinathe 25-year-old mother, “was the heroine of his painting” and therefore decided to keep it for later. She has an appointment at the cross-battles.
Battle between Basil and Apie
Ultimate battle for Marc Lavoine, and not the least. The coach has placed a lot of hope in this duo made up of Basil and Apie. And it started badly with the latter present only in video coaching after having contracted the Covid-19. But it was in good shape that she appeared on stage to face Basil on D-Day. Both dressed in white at the request of Marc Lavoine, they shared a touching cover of Leave me a place, by Julien Clerc. “It touched me, I did not expect it“, said their coach after the fact. Unfortunately, Basil had a small problem with his voice dying out on the stage, which inevitably gave his opponent the advantage.”It is indeed only due to the small voice problem that Basil had because Apie was then able to get out of the game. Basil fought well but with a voice that remained a little at the bottom“, judged Florent Pagny. Marc Lavoine could only agree with his boyfriend. It’s Apie he decides to keep for the sequel. She has an appointment at the cross-battles.
