“I feel like I’ve grown up a lot since the blinds,” Rowan said. “I can’t believe I’m here now.”

Rowan had previously fought against Kiki and Destiny Lee, 18, of San Diego. Impossible Destiny was chosen by Christina Aguilera to sing.
“The hardest song in the whole world,” said their coach Gwen Stefani, 53, ahead of a knockout battle in which three artists battle for one spot on the squad.
An unusual take of Kique’s “Hey Ya!” By Outkast blew the judges away.

“Thank you so much, my heart is broken at this moment, I can’t,” said Cake.
“If this were a video game, I would have just skipped 20 levels,” said Camilla. “For you to do a cover that was at the forefront of a song that was at the forefront of the song was like ‘Inception’. It felt like a star was born. It was beautiful to watch.”
