Tessanne Chin Wins Battle Round With “Next to Me” on The Voice

Tessanne Chin and Donna Allen

Last night was the first of the battle rounds of The Voice‘s fifth season, and the face-off of the night was between Tessanne Chin and Donna Allen. The two powerhouse vocalists tore up the stage with their rendition of Emeli Sande‘s “Next to Me.”

The judges thought Donna’s voice was powerful and compared her to Tina Turner. But it was Jamaican Tessanne Chin’s dynamic vocal performance that wowed Adam Levine to choose her as the winner.

Judge Cee Lo praised Tessanne’s poise and Donna’s raw power, though he gave the edge to Tessanne.  She moves to the Knockout Round for Team Adam.

“The Voice” airs Mondays and Tuesdays at 8 PM on NBC.
