Each coach is allowed two "Steals" in the "Battle Round," which means a coach can steal any two singers who lose their respective battles to teammates.
Coach Adam Levine, with the help of mentor John Fogerty, matched up Keith Semple and Manny Cabo. Adam asked them to sing "Baba O'Riley" and Keith was declared the winner of the battle.
With Brad Paisley at his side, coach Blake Shelton paired Chris Crump with Krista Hughes for a performance of "When I Get Where I'm Going." In the end, Chris won.
Coach Pharrell Williams, who is working with Missy Elliot during the "Battle Round," required Sydney Rhame to face off against Madi Davis. The girls were quickly featured in a video montage singing "Riptide" and Madi won.
Two more battles were also shown in the video montage. Alex Kandel went up against Kota Wade while taking the stage with the song "It's My Life." Gwen Stefani, with the help of mentor Selena Gomez, picked Kota as the champion. Gwen's teammates Jeffery Austin and Noah Jackson also squared off against each other with "Can't Feel My Face," and Jeffery won.
Pharrell set up a memorable battle between two young girls: Ivonne Acero, 17, vs. Siahna Im, 15. Both girls sang "You Keep Me Hangin' On," and although it was a difficult decision, Siahna took the cake.
However, both Gwen and Blake opted to steal Ivonne. Gwen argued she'd "download" all of her knowledge in the music industry and hand it down to the talented performer. But Ivonne still picked Blake -- even though he never turned his chair around for her to begin with and he basically just talked about growing cantaloupes.
The Voice will air more battles next week on NBC.
