Courtney Harrell is heading to the "Knockout Round" on coach Blake Shelton's team.

Courtney advanced to the next stage of the competition after winning her Battle against Ethan Tucker. The two artists sang "Gravity" together by John Mayer, and Blake expressed regret over pairing them up since they were both so incredible.
When asked what she thought her chances of surviving the Battle were, Courtney told reporters during a conference call, "I thought they were pretty much 50/50."
"Because Ethan is such an incredible instrument, like his voice is," she explained.
"I was telling him this all of the time and, you know, told our coach like, 'He has the voice of a lion,' and so it's really hard to not hear him, to not feel him, to not just be completely enamored and captivated."

Blake picked Courtney as the winner of the Battle because he said there's nothing she can't sing. Ethan's "cool, natural sound," however, was undeniable.
"So, it was the fight of my life, but I also believed in what I had inside of myself, the potential I had inside of myself to set myself apart," the artist said.
"And so I knew it could go either way and I went in with tremendous respect and was humbled to even be paired with him."
Courtney has had quite the career as a songwriter, but now she's ready to sing her own songs and shine.
Since auditioning for The Voice, Courtney has heard from many famous singers whom she's worked with in the past such as Michelle Williams from Destiny's Child, Sevyn Streeter, Eric Bellinger and Jessica Wilson.

"They're really giving a lot of support and I'm just touched by it all," Courtney told reporters.
"And they're kind of happy to see me take what I do on demos or in the studio in a booth, which is pretty private, and bring that to the world to see -- which is personally a little nerve-racking, but having the support of my friends who I've been working alongside for so long has been great."
Courtney added it's been "a great journey" thus far and she couldn't have made it this far "without their support."
