Riley Green's Tough First Battle Round on The Voice

Country music star Riley Green found his initial foray into The Voice's Battle Rounds to be a challenging experience. As a first-year coach, Green had to make a difficult decision between two contestants from his team: solo singer Brandy Neelly and the sister duo Ferryn & Brinkley. Both acts prepared to perform "Mama's Broken Heart" by Miranda Lambert, with guidance from Green and guest mentor Carly Pearce.

Despite acknowledging Brandy Neelly's individual talent and a personal connection involving a cake she had baked for him, Green ultimately advanced the sister duo, Ferryn & Brinkley. He highlighted their impressive vocal harmonies and their status as the sole duo on the current season of The Voice as decisive factors in his choice. The Battle Rounds continue on NBC.
