Damien and Kelli Douglas sing 'Knock On Wood' (VIDEO)

Damien and Kelli Douglas sang 'Knock On Wood' on The Voice 2014 Season 7 Battle Round on Monday, October 20, 2014 for Team Adam Levine. Who won the battle?

Damien can’t believe he’s seeing Stevie Knicks sitting next to Adam Levine, particularly since he was only a TSA employee just a few months ago. Kelli is similarly enthusiastic. However, this is a tough matchup for both performers, since they’re really close friends. They’re singing the Otis Redding/Carla Thomas version of “Knock On Wood,” and it’s an interesting song choice, since neither of them gets through it without trouble.

In rehearsal, Kelli says duets aren’t something she’s used to, which is why she is having trouble. Stevie encourages her to loosen up, relating her own story of wanting to be an R&B singer in her youth. Adam loves Damien’s voice, but feels something is lacking from the performance. Stevie recommends Damien and Kelli turn towards one another, and the change is instant, as they both seem to get lost in the performance. Stevie feels they both deserve to stay, and says that if someone doesn’t steal the loser, she’ll come back and steal them personally.

Blake feels Damien has an explosive voice while Kelli has a smoother tone, which created a nice contrast. Pharrell says Damien’s voice takes him back to the 60s and 70s, and agrees with Blake about Kelli’s smoother tone. Gwen, meanwhile, admits she was distracted by Kelli’s body, saying she’s gorgeous (Blake: “Dreams really do come true, here on The Voice.”). Gwen doesn’t think it was the perfect song for Kelli, but thought she and Damien did a good job with it. Adam liked the duet, saying that if you can’t have fun with this song, there’s a problem.
