-I like that break. That break he has.
-Me too. I love that.
Guys, that was so awesome! -Thank you.
-Thank you. -Amazing job.
Brayden, I can't believe you're 15.
-I think he's grown a foot since I saw him.
-[ Laughs ] I know.
-15. That's the same age I was when I was on...
-Did another competition show. -Did a singing competition show!
[ Laughter ] -Amazing.
I would have so had a crush on you.
[ Laughter ]
I think you have a beautiful tone.
I love that crack that you have in your voice.
-Yeah. -It is very pop-record friendly.
And the fact that you're 15 is crazy.
-Thank you. [ Cheers and applause ]
-And, Benny, your voice, when you came in, I was like,
"Oh, my God. Why did I not turn around for you?"
You're a great singer.
For me, the winner of this Battle was Brayden
just because I feel like that tone captures
that 15-year-old innocence that you have.
Like, you can hear that in your voice.
-Thank you.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Benny, you came out with so much energy.
Just even punching the air, like, ready to go.
-Yeah. -Your singing was incredible.
I just think, stage-presence wise,
it felt a little bit almost too much.
Maybe just focus more on the lyric,
feel the song through your body.
That would be my advice. -Okay. Yeah, thank you.
-Brayden, you have a beautiful, beautiful voice.
I can't wait to see what happens in the next few years
'cause there's just so much growing to do.
-Not literally. -Yeah. No more growing.
-Well, maybe. -[ Laughs ]
-Benny, I love the tone of your voice.
It just sounds confident and assured.
I think sometimes you push a little too much,
which can take away from the beauty of your voice,
which is really great. -Thank you.
-And then, Brayden, I feel like you have
a bit more to develop as a vocalist,
but your tone is so interesting and cool.
So that's the choice that Blake will have to make.
[ Cheers and applause ] -Thank you, Coaches.
Alright, Blake, final decision's yours.
Give us some thoughts on the Battle first.
-The line in the song is, "What does that say about me?"
Benny, I think your approach was more like,
"What did you say about me?"
Like, coming out here ready to fight,
just in your stage presence, because, man, I thought
you sang really good. -Thank you.
-And then, Brayden, today, you know,
even more than in rehearsal, it's like, "Oh, my gosh.
He is only 15." You know? -Mm-hmm. Yeah.
-But I like that tone in your voice
and the youth and some of the inexperience, even,
because there's something about that that's endearing.
-Blake, who is the winner of this Battle?
♪♪
-Winner of this Battle is Brayden.
-Brayden, congratulations. You're moving on
to the Knockouts for Team Blake.
-Brayden's just got all this potential and star quality
about what he does and just who he is.
He's just now starting to find his feet.
And as he gets comfortable in this situation,
sky's gonna be the limit.
-Give it up for Benny Weag!
-Great job, Benny.
-You did a great job. -Good luck, Benny.
