Watch 'The Voice' Battle of Britney Spear's 'Toxic' That Got a Standing Ovation


Monday is the final night of Battles on Season 26 of The Voice and Parade has a sneak peek at the Battle between J. Paul and Kamila Kiehne.

The two members of Team Michael Bublé performed a duet on Britney Spears' "Toxic" that was so inspiring that Snoop Dogg was so affected by the performance that he gave the duo a standing ovation.

"Man, that was a real presentation there," he said. 'The way y'all worked together, you had a routine, you had dance steps."

When Snoop confirmed with Kamila that she was just 17, he said, "The range, the depth of your voice. You are not even at the age where you are supposed to know how to do all of that, so you were ahead of the curve. You performed at a high level."

Then he asked J. Paul if he had ever sung in church.

"I grew up singing in church. I'm a PK, I'm a pastor's kid," J. Paul responded.

"So, I see this record kind of putting handcuffs on you because you couldn't really go where you wanted to go but I heard the lord in there. That's why I asked because I heard the spirit of your vindication for your illustration which brought forth an ovation."

Having said all that, Snoop refused to give Michael his recommendation, saying he didn't have to choose.

Reba McEntire was next to give her commentary.

"Kamila, you're amazing," she said. "To be 17 years old and to move on stage like that with so much confidence, you're really comfortable on stage and J. Paul, you're terrific. I love your range, I love the way you guys worked together, if I had to pick one, I think I would go with Kamila."

Gwen Stefani agreed that Kamila has an incredible voice, but she gave the nod to J. Paul.

"You're only 17, so it's really exciting to think of where you're going to go from here," she told Kamila. "J. Paul, you're already there. Your voice is insane. If I had to choose somebody based on vocal performance, I would have to say J. Paul won that Battle."

Then it was time for their coach to weigh-in. Michael said, "I'm like a really proud, handsome dad. Kamila, you came out here and just crushed it. J. Paul, you have all the vocal ability in the world. Before I make a choice, I want to say this, this is just a small part of your career, it is a part of your musical journey and what I love is because you were so in it tonight, you will have this forever. I honestly just don't know what to do … my hands are just so sweaty."

When host Carson Daly pressured Michael for a decision, he said, "No, I actually quit."

So, who did Michael choose to go through to the Knockouts? He said, "It's called The Voice, so the winner is who I felt gave me the better vocal performance…"

Tune in to The Voice on Monday at 8 p.m. ET/PT on NBC to find out if it is J. Paul or Kamila going through.
