'The Voice' Battles 2022: Angry fans blame Camila Cabello's 'poor song choice' for Grace Bello's elimination
UNIVERSAL CITY, CALIFORNIA: Following her four-chair turn-blind audition, Grace Bello was pegged as a strong contender to win season 22 of 'The Voice'. So when she was kicked out of NBC's singing competition show just after the battles round, fans had some strong feelings about it and began blaming her coach Camila Cabello.
After her four-chair turn performance to Justin Bieber's 'Ghost', Grace was all set for the battles round. So, for the battles round, Camila paired Grace against 13-year-old Reina Ley. The 'Havana' singer chose Cyndi Lauper's 'Time after Time' as the battle song. Following an intense rehearsals session with Camila and battle advisor Charlie Puth, Grace and Reina took to the stage to deliver their final performance. Despite the duo's best attempts at making their performance a memorable one, fans found it to be flat. Blake Shelton pointed out how Grace's nerves must have gotten the best of her to explain her lackluster performance. The other coaches praised the artists for their attempts at performing an iconic Cyndi Lauper track. When it was time to pick a winner, Camila chose Reina.
