The Voice is a singing competition in which contestants perform for a panel of music coaches. In the Battle Round, two singers from the same coach’s team perform together, and the coach chooses which one stays in the competition.
Riley Green is a country singer and coach on the programme. Brendan Coulter and Keiyana Osmond were competing on his team; their song was written and first released by Maroon 5, whose lead singer is Adam Levine, another coach. Performers sometimes take on songs outside their usual musical style, which can show how they interpret familiar material.
The choice matters because only one singer from each battle can continue with that coach. Green selected Osmond, while Levine’s praise drew attention to how the contestants had made the song their own.
