NOW the show is moving into The Battles!
Here’s how it works: Coaches will dedicate themselves to developing their team of artists, giving them advice, and sharing the secrets of their success along with the help from their celebrity advisers. During the battle rounds the coaches will pit two of their own team members against each other to sing the same song together in front of a studio audience. After the vocal battle, the coach must choose which of his/her singers will advance to the next round of competition, while the losing artist is available to be stolen by another coach. Each coach has two steals during the battle rounds.
TEAM KELLY: SANDYREDD Vs. CODY RAY RAYMOND — Team Kelly begins The Battle round. But first, she introduces her advisor — Thomas Rhett! She chooses “Cry To Me” by Solomon Burke, from the movie Dirty Dancing. They both equally put on their own, strong performance, but in the end Kelly went with her gut.
- KELLY: Cody Ray Raymond
- STEALS: Adam, J. Hud, Blake; She chooses J. Hud;
