The Battle Rounds of the second season of Telemundo's hit music competition reality show, "La Voz Kids," culminated with an emotional and exhilarating night. The six performers chosen last night complete the final group of 18 unforgettable voices now on their way to the "Final Phase."
Three contestants sang the same song together during each battle. As they prepared, the kids rehearsed with their Coach and one of the acclaimed music mentors, Yandel, Diana Reyes, or Kany Garcia. Choosing one performer from each group of three contenders to move on did not come easily last night. The pressure was palpable as Prince Royce,
Roberto Tapia and Natalia Jimenez struggled with their decisions. Last night's battles and ultimate winners are:
