How different from the knockouts could it really be, anyway?
Putting one teams contestant against anothers for Americas vote?
Well, now that weve seen how this will work, its actually a lot more fun than that.

Her snappy funk tones still come through enough, though, especially compared with her competition here tonight.
Selkiis subsequent rendition of Natalie Imbruglias Torn is a shaky, disjointed mess.
She struggles with her runs and power notes.
Wholl win?Mari.
John is impressed by Lisas stage presence and vocal strength, while Kelly praises her contestants sultry tone.
Wholl win?Lisa has earned this W, no doubt.
PersonalityJohnson up to bat and chooses to challenge Adam a.k.a.
Mr. T. (blame his mohawk for the many A-Team references of the evening).
Adam then decides to throw one of his early favorites into the ring with Domenic Haynes.
Wholl win?Tough to say, but Domenic had the edge on intensity.
Dont be surprised if a steal or save gets thrown down for whoever loses this round, though.
Wholl win?Probably Presley.
So, after choosing to put Celia Babini on-stage, he challenges Blake to another cross battle.
Blake instructs Oliv Blu to go show em how its done, and thats exactly what she does.
Even worse, her voice is shaky and imbalanced.
Then comes Oliv Blu with an airy, uncomplicated performance of Gravity that totally shows her predecessor up.
Oliv doesnt dress up her classic, jazzy vocals and delivers a clean, sunshiny sound.
By keeping it simple, shes showing a lot of style here tonight.
Wholl win?Oliv Blu.
But Kelly seems eager to steal the castaway from this battle either way.
Wholl win?Its a close call, but Dexter will likely take it home.
Off the cuff, he decides to throw Rod Stokes in the ring with this perceived front-runner.
As soon as she begins singing, its clear why John is so enthusiastic about Maelyn.
Well see soon enough!
Wholl win?Maelyn should.
It wouldnt be a shock for Rod to earn a save or steal after this, however.
