On Night 2 of the Battles, The Voice coaches Adam Levine, Christina Aguilera, Blake Shelton and Pharrell Williams had to narrow down their teams by matching up two artists at a time to perform the same song in the hope of outdoing one another.
Each coach has the opportunity to steal two artists who lose their respective battles during this round.
Adam's advisor is Ellie Goulding, Christina has teamed up with Nick Jonas, Blake is working with Meghan Trainor, and Pharrell's advisor is Lionel Richie.
Pharrell required Anthony Riley to face off against Travis Ewing. The guys sang "Get Ready" and Anthony won the battle. However, Blake stole Travis for his own team.

Christina asked Sonic to sing against Ameera Delandro. The girls performed "Masterpiece" and Sonic won, remaining on Christina's team.
Blake paired Hannah Kirby with Sarah Potenza to sing "Gimme Shelter." While Sarah won her battle, Pharrell and Adam both tried to steal Hannah. After they bickered over why Hannah should pick them, she selected Pharrell.
Adam matched up Michael Leier and Blaze Johnson. After performing "Rude," Blaze won the battle.
Blake instructed Matt Snook to sing the song "How Country Feels" along with Cody Wickline. Cody won the battle.
Pharrell also had Paul Pfau perform against Meghan Linsey. After taking the stage with "Don't Let Me Down," Paul was declared the winner. However, all three of the other coaches attempted to steal Meghan. She was eventually picked up by Blake.
