The Voice coaches Christina Aguilera, Adam Levine, Cee Lo Green, and Blake Shelton finished whittling down their fifth-season teams from 12 to eight artists during last night's conclusion of the season's "battle" rounds.
Preston Pohl, Holly Henry, Brandon Chase, Jonny Gray, Tamara Chauniece, and Olivia Henken advanced to The Voice's "knockout" round.
Pohl, Henry, Chase, Gray, Chauniece, and Henken moved forward in the competition after they won their respective "battle" round face-offs against fellow contestants Barry Black, Cilla Chan, Emily Randolph, Shawn Smith, Keaira LaShae, and Stephanie Anne Johnson.
The artists squared off in the "battle" rounds after The Voice coaches each selected two members of his or her individual singing team to perform a duet performance that would end with the coach eliminating one of the singers from the competition.

However, similar to previous seasons, each coach was allowed two "steals" in which two losing face-off contestants could be added to a different coach's original six-member team of "battle" round winners.
During Tuesday night's broadcast, one contestant was stolen: Johnson.
Levine matched up Pohl and Black, requiring them to sing "I Wish It Would Rain" by The Temptations.
Shelton paired Chan and Henry, who then performed "Torn" by Natalie Imbruglia.
Shelton also paired up Chase and Randolph and assigned them "Tiny Dancer" by Elton John.

Gray and Smith were paired by Green and required to perform "Refugee" by Tom Petty.
Green also matched up LaShae and Chauniece, who were given the song "Big Girls Don't Cry" by Fergie.
Aguilera paired Henken and Johnson and had them perform "Done" by The Band Perry. Johnson was stolen by Green, which marked the last "steal" of the season.
