The "Battle Round" came to a close with The Voice coaches Alicia Keys, Miley Cyrus, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton selecting a total of three Battle winners.
The champions were Austin Allsup, a 32-year-old from Fort Worth, TX; Whitney Sim and Shannon Sim, ages 25 and 23, from Houston, TX; and Brendan Fletcher, a 26-year-old from Randolph, NJ.
In the "Battle Round," a coach paired two of his or her team members up to sing one song simultaneously. The artists had to work hard to stand out and deliver a better performance than their opponents.
In this round, each coach was allowed two "steals," meaning an artist who lost a face-off could be stolen by a different coach so he or she can resume competing on The Voice.

One lucky artist was stolen on Tuesday night, and that person was Bindi Liebowitz, a 23-year-old from Summit, NJ.
The final round of Battles began with Blake pairing Austin with Preston James, a 16-year-old from Nashville, TN, for a performance of "Bad Moon Rising."
Blake told Preston that he's "on the fast track" of learning, but it was undeniable that Austin did an incredible job. Blake therefore declared Austin the winner of the Battle because he has more experience performing and a better handle on what he's capable of as a vocalist.
Next up was Alicia's team members Whitney & Shannon, who went up against Gabriel Violett, a 28-year-old from Fenton, MO. It was certainly an uphill battle for Gabriel when he was asked to sing "More Than Words" against a harmonizing duo of beautiful girls.
Although Alicia was especially proud of Gabriel for giving it his all and not holding back, Whitney & Shannon won the Battle since no one in the competition is like them and they radiate love onstage, according to their coach.

The last Battle of the season was between Brendan and Bindi for "Team Adam." The pair was required to sing "Home."
Adam gushed about how Bindi has a sweet spot in the middle of her range, similar to the quality Rihanna has in her voice. Adam explained Brendan, on the other hand, almost tore down the building with his vocals and there is something "thunderous" and "other worldly" about his talent.
There was no question Adam was going to advance Brendan -- whom he also called "astonishing" -- to the "Knockout Round," however, Blake chose to steal Bindi for his own team since she has so much potential and more to prove to everyone.
