And it was Jaz Ellington who booked his place to appear on the live shows.<\/p>\n<p>Coach Will.i.am chose  \u2018I Heard It Through The Grapevine\u2019 by Marvin Gaye for the duo to sing.  <\/p>\n<p>Will said he had put these singers together, because they are both \u2018jedi knight singers\u2019 and both amongst his best.<\/p>\n<p>Jay admitted that he was intimidated by Jaz\u2019s \u2018high belt voice\u2019 and said that he saw himself as the \u2018underdog.\u2019 Norton thought most people were expecting his opponent to \u2018murder\u2019 him on stage.<\/p>\n<p>However, Jaz wasn\u2019t well and had a chest infection and revealed that because he works as a singing teacher, he didn\u2019t have a chance to rest his voice before the Battle Rounds and so was pretty ill as a consequence. Will told him he needed to \u2018overcome it\u2019 and insisted \u2018you can\u2019t let it stop you.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>After listening to them rehearse, Will confessed:<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I should never have put Jay up against Jaz, or Jaz up against Jay. They are two fantastic singers and I would like to have kept them both on my team.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>After the sing off Jessie J berated Will saying:<\/p>\n<p>\u2018What were you doing putting them together? Television is not ready for the talent on this show. I cannot wait for people to turn their TV\u2019s on and see people singing live and doing it well.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Danny O\u2019Donoghue joined his fellow judges in a standing ovation and said:<\/p>\n<p>\u2018You know I\u2019m standing is to make a statement that this is what The Voice is about. Jay, I had a great opportunity to work with Boyz to Men and I stood beside one of the best singers I have ever heard in my life, and you are like him Jaz. You have got the tone and the talent. Jay, you held your own against Jaz.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Will deliberated saying:<\/p>\n<p>\u2018The reason why I paired you guys is that you don\u2019t sing alike, but you have a lot in common. You have a lot of soul and so much raw talent. Jay I am super duper proud, you outlicked him but you owned the stage and you showed your low range and high range is out of this world. I have worked with Justin Timberlake before and to me, you are better than him.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Jaz, you hit this one riff in there and I hurt my head, because it knocked me out. There was a part in the beginning that was flat and that\u2019s because of your bronchitis. If that\u2019s what you sound like with bronchitis, shazam!\u2019<\/p>\n<p>In the end Will had to choose and said:<\/p>\n<p>\u2018You both killed it and knocked us all out, but Jaz I want to take you onto the lives. You\u2019ve got soul in a bowl, you\u2019ve got soul on a pole.\u2019<br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\ngoogle_ad_client = \"pub-0466605792016836\";\n\/* auditions 300x250, created 9\/6\/10 *\/\ngoogle_ad_slot = \"7469702309\";\ngoogle_ad_width = 300;\ngoogle_ad_height = 250;\n\/\/-->\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"\nsrc=\"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\">\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"580\" height=\"315\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8bCF7zU0yEo\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\ngoogle_ad_client = \"pub-0466605792016836\";\n\/* blogsmalllink 468x15, created 6\/7\/10 *\/\ngoogle_ad_slot = \"6221751502\";\ngoogle_ad_width = 468;\ngoogle_ad_height = 15;\n\/\/-->\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"\nsrc=\"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\">\n<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The seventh pair in the Battle Round sing-off on The Voice tonight was Jay Norton and Jaz Ellington.
