Conor Scott beats Smith and Jones at Battle Rounds


Conor Scott and Smith and Jones were the only artists from team Danny O’Donoghue featured on tonight’s episode of The Voice and The Script frontman revealed why he paired them for the Battle Rounds saying:

“They are both guitar players, they have both got youth on their side, I think it’s going to be an all out battle.”

Dan the man chose the song ‘Some Nights’ by Fun for the trio to perform and in rehearsals Dido was blown away by Conor, admitting: 

“Conor’s voice is like …ooof…powerful.”

Danny said:

“Conor is a lot more able to shine because he is used to being alone and performing for a crowd, so I think Smith and Jones need to show them there are two people on stage.”

Smith and Jones were a little intimidated by their opponent and Katie confessed:

“That is one of our worries that when we’re on stage we’ll be like left behind.”

“This year we are Danny’s only duo, so we just hope Danny sees something in us over Conor.”

The strength of his voice could have been a disadvantage though and after Danny told him to pull back a little, Scott said:


I’m really loud. My mum always tells me to be quiet and to talk instead of shout.”

“This is a really big deal for me because if I go home, it’s back to busking. It’s not really an option I want to take.”

As the battle began we actually found ourselves wishing that these guys could just become a trio and go through together (how X Factor would that be?) as their voices all gelled so very well together.

We expected Conor to wipe the floor with the duo but actually they were very evenly matched to him and we actually felt that Katie out dancing and interacting with the crowd brought our eyes to their side of the stage more often.

After the song the coaches had their say and commented:

Will: I thought it was pretty cool. Everybody was having a jolly good time. Conor, Smith and Jones that’s a pretty nice group.

Tom: But it didn’t seem like a battle to me. They were all so much together that it was hard to try and split them up.


Danny: I have a really hard decision to make now. The winner of this battle for me is Conor.

Smith and Jones then waited on stage and waited to see if anyone would turn to steal them for their team, unfortunately Will didn’t want the duo and so the pair found themselves eliminated.
