Taking to Twitter, fans claimed that Destiny would prove to be a "real asset" to the team. Others shared that The Voice contestant had the potential to get better in the coming days.
Why did Gwen Stefani pick Justin as the winner over Destiny in the Battle Rounds on The Voice
Gwen brought in her battle advisor, award-winning singer Sean Paul, to help her train Justin and Destiny for their performance. During rehearsals, both Gwen and Sean felt like Destiny was holding back and faced issues with timing. Both artists also gave Justin a few tips to note down, prior to their main Battle.
Although they both brought drama and energy to the stage with their performance, Justin was just a little bit better with his part of the duet. Coach John Legend told Justin that he had a "crazy range". He also told Destiny that she was on "fire." The coach then told Gwen that he would choose Destiny as the winner. Blake also sided with John on this decision.
Camila Cabello, on the other hand, told Gwen that she would pick Justin if given the choice. Ultimately, Gwen decided to save Justin. But the coach also felt that Destiny had potential and decided to use her only save on Destin, thereby heping her advance to the Knockouts, giving her another chance in the competition.
Prior to Destiny and Justin's performance, Bodie and Jaeden Luke from Blake Shelton's team took to the stage and performed a duet to Justin Bieber's As Long as You Love Me. Blake ended up choosing Bodie as the winner. But right before Jaeden could walk off the stage, Gwen and Camila hit their steal button to nab him for their own team.
Sadly, it was Camila's lucky day as the contestant chose Camila to be his coach for the rest of the season.
The Voice Season 22 airs only on NBC on Mondays and Tuesdays at 8 pm ET. Readers can check their local listings for more information.
