With the battle rounds coming to an end last night, it is time for the contestants to tighten up their vocals because the game is becoming competitive. The contestants this year not only have raw vocal ability, but versatility to grow.  As we have seen in Monday & Tuesday night's battles those who can stand the heat are burning up the stage.

Monday night's contestant Nicole Nelson has the ability to sweep the competition with her mature power, If she puts more ad-libs into her vocals, she may be able to truly compete with all of the young contestants. MarissaAnn who got the steal to Team Blake may be the youngest contestant, but no means the least effective. She has emotion that adds another depth to her music and takes it a step further.

Most of the talent this year lies within all of the young contestants. Like was seen in Team Cee Lo's Avery Wilson, the authentic range in vocals could become the true competition during the knockout rounds.

It's nearly half way through the competition, but it is never too early to predict who has the power, charisma, and range to become "The Voice". Below are a list of contestants that have proven age and struggle will not break their raw talent.

Early Winner Prediction

-Avery Wilson

-Trevin Hunte or Amanda Brown

-De'borah

-Melanie Martinez

These individuals not only blew away their opponent during the battle round, but have shown room to grow. If these contestants are able to take what their judges guide them to heart and boost their confidence, they will be forces to be reckoned with. My prediction at this point as the winner is…..Avery Wilson. Check back each week to get your dose of "The Voice".
