Did Chance the Rapper make the right choice between Nariyella and Chloe?

The atmosphere was electric as Team Chance's Chloe and Nariyella stepped onto the stage for their battle round performance on 'I Want You Around'. This was the first time the song had been performed on the show, and Chance wanted to see how the contenders would put their own unique spin on it. As they began to sing, it was evident that they had worked hard to make the melody their own, and Chance was impressed by their ability to infuse their personal style into the performance.

During rehearsal, Chance worked with the pair to incorporate more 'responding lines' into their duet to create a more dynamic performance. However, during the dress rehearsal, Chance noticed something was off and grew concerned. Despite this, the show must go on, and the contestants took to the stage to deliver a dazzling performance. Kelly was quick to praise the duo, calling it one of her favorite battles and pointing out Chloe's impressive range and Nariyella's smooth tone. She noted that Nariyella had a slight edge over Chloe in this round. Blake's assessment was based on feeling and observed that Nariyella had complete control over the song throughout. Niall commended Nariyella for creating a "continuous storyline" in her tone but found it difficult to choose between her and Chloe, whom he likened to a '"full-time pop star".

Chance, too, found it challenging to make a decision but ultimately went with his gut and declared Nariyella the winner. As the dust settled, the question on everyone's mind was whether Chance had made the right decision. Only time would tell if Nariyella had what it took to advance to the Knockout rounds, but for now, she had secured her spot as the winner of an unforgettable battle round performance.

'Chloe is an artist already!'

The decision to choose Nariyella over Chloe was a tough one for Chance, and many fans have their own opinions on whether or not it was the right choice. One commented on the Youtube video, "Beautiful. I think NariYella won that by a hair vocally, but Chloe put a spell on me. I couldn't stop watching her."

Another added, "Ugh I hate seeing Chloe go but so happy for Nariyella. Kelly said the same thing i said when i saw Chloe audition, her voice reminds me of Erykah Badu. Can't wait to see Nariyella show out, even more, this season. That performance was smooth like butter. I hope Chloe continues giving herself the chance to take on opportunities. Her voice is so soothing and amazing." One person said, "Yes Chloe! Represented yourself so well here. Hope to hear more music from you."

Some fans also took to Twitter and slammed Chance for pitting the two against each other. They said, "I don't appreciate @chancetherapper putting a four chair against a one chair turn #VoiceBattles@kellyclarkson @NiallOfficial @blakeshelton. He knew how it would go.May Chloe hv great success in the future @NBCTheVoice."

Another added, " @chancetherapper #TheVoice Chance you need to get Chloe in the studio," while another said, "@chancetherapper #TheVoice chance you should have saved Chloe."
