For her Battle, Belle Jewel faced off against Halle Tomilson with a performance of "Bennie and the Jets."
The girls' coach, Alicia Keys, selected Belle Jewel as the winner, but fans didn't get to see much else besides that.
During a recent conference call with reporters, Belle Jewel talked about "The Battle Round" and her experience. Below is what she had to say.
Since we didn't get to see your Battle, I was hoping you could tell us how it went. What was your biggest challenge with the song and what kind of feedback did you receive from the coaches?
Belle Jewel: Right. I honestly had such a blast. It was the most fun I ever had onstage, and I feel like the song that Alicia chose was kind of the song that you hear a lot and you don't hear many different things done with it.
So Halle and I really wanted to add our own twist to it and I am just really glad that we got to do that. It was a blast. It was so much fun.
So after we finished the Battle, a lot of the coaches made comments about how I was able to show my individuality, not only through my voice, but through my performance, which meant a lot to me, because it was something that I was working on a lot and Alicia told me she wanted to see from me.
So I feel like it went in my favor that I was able to just show who I am in every aspect of my performance both vocally and on the stage.
What advice from Alicia will you take with you moving forward both in the competition and your career?
Belle Jewel: She told me to be just the loudest version of myself and just to be me unapologetically and always express who I am at my fullest capacity. And that's something I will always carry with me.
What have you learned from this experience in general?
Belle Jewel: This experience has taught me so much about how music is really a tool to connect with people. My goal of my Battle performance was really just to make a connection to Alicia and show her that I was willing to learn and grow.

And I feel like so much is communicated through song and music, even just past the meaning of the lyrics. So that's probably what I've seen and what I've learned the most from the show so far.
