Six More Move Ahead on Telemundo's LA VOZ KIDS

The second "Battle Round" on TELEMUNDO's "La Voz Kids," (The Voice Kids) had another 18 young voices competing face-to-face to determine the six that move on to the Final Phase. Coaches Daddy Yankee, Natalia Jimenez and Pedro Fernandez, with the support of Mentors Becky G, Maluma and Victor Manuelle, prepared the second group of contestants for the night's performance, as three members from each team competed against each other by performing the same song together. After each Battle, the Coaches had to make the very difficult decision of choosing who goes to the Final Phase. The last six voices going to the Final Phase will be selected next Sunday, May 10, at 8pm/7c, when 18 more kids compete in the last electrifying "Battle Round" from the Universal Orlando Resort.

Following is a recap of last night's second "Battle Round":
