“The Voice” is shaking up it’s format by introducing a new live cross battle round, which started last week. The new format has drawn some backlash from viewers, who were less than impressed, especially after seeing Tuesday’s results. Viewers felt the coaches used up a majority of their saves and steals, Country Living reported. Now fans are wondering if there will be any saves and steals left for Monday’s cross battle.

Kasch grew up in Palos Park and headed for the bright lights of Nashville after graduating from Stagg High School in 2016. The rising star gigs regularly at Tootsie's World Famous Orchid Lounge and Honky Tonk Central.
