Sophia Urista learned a lot from the "Battle Round," most of which came from her talented The Voice opponent Lane Mack.

"Lane Mack taught me that I needed to go out a little more confidently. I get really nervous. I've been on a lot of stages in my life and every single time I go on stage it's like, I'm so nervous," Sophia told reporters during a conference call.

"Every time I've been on The Voice stage I totally blacked out. I was watching last night and I was like, 'I don't remember hugging her. I don't remember hugging him, I don't remember anything I did.'"

Sophia's revelation may come as a surprise to fans since her The Voice coach Miley Cyrus insisted she had "no fear" during her Battle against Lane in which they sang "Money" by Pink Floyd.

"Lane is just so confident and his fearlessness is really inspiring, so I think I learned that, and I also learned not to over-think. You know, [my team adviser] Joan Jett and Miley gave me a lot of pointers and I thought about all of them," Sophia said.

"And it just doesn't help the nerves. The best thing to do is just like take everything, practice, everything that people say practice it, and then forget about it and just go with your heart when you get on that stage."

Despite Lane's ability to attack a song, Miley chose to keep Sophia on her team because she has so much personality and absorbed all of her advice and suggestions.

"['Money'] was interesting... it's not the typical duet kind of song you would think would be, you know, not the kind of song that you think would be a duet," Sophia explained.

"So, Lane came out like a beast and I was watching it last night and really took notes from him just to be brave and just go out guns blazing... He did such an amazing job and I was just honored to be up there with him."

Sophia also shared the advice Jett gave her when rehearsing for the Battle.

"I got a lot of direction, Joan Jett wanted me to really explore the lower notes and the softer delivery which I'm not really used to doing. So, it was a lot of like experimentation going on. It was an interesting choice, different unique song. It was a little tough," Sophia said.

The Voice coach Adam Levine had predicted Sophia will be "a runaway smash" in the weeks to come, so the artist admitted she felt added pressure to top her prior performance.

"I think we all want to be successful after the show and it's my biggest dream to be the queen of rock and roll one day so, you know, that he said that it was a really big compliment and just validated what I already feel," Sophia noted.
