Whitney Sim and Shannon Sim will be memorable on The Voice because very few duos make it far on the show, so how are they feeling heading into the "Battle Round?"

"We weren't expecting all four chairs to turn, so it was a surprise -- a pleasant surprise, and of course very flattering that all four coaches turned," Whitney told Reality TV World.
Heading into the Battle rounds, fans might be curious as to whether the girls feel they have an advantage in that Alicia may have a harder time letting them go since she had to fight so hard to win them over in the first place during the "Blind Auditions."
"I think it did put a little pressure on us moving forward because we feel like we have to work really hard to keep up that standard that we set, I guess," Whitney said. "But it's also very exciting to know that all four coaches are kind of on our side."
Shannon agreed with her sister that they must work just as hard -- or maybe even harder -- than an artist who turned one or two chairs because expectations are very high.
"I will say that we kind of felt that after [our Blind audition], it went back to an even playing field, where it was really anyone's game," Shannon explained to Reality TV World.
"Because no matter what happens that day, we knew that everyone was going to give it their all for the Battles. So we felt like we couldn't slack off or just trust our four-chair turns would get us through, because everyone was working so hard."
In the "Battle Round," a coach pairs two of his or her team members up to sing one song simultaneously. The artists must work hard to stand out and deliver a better performance than their opponent.
"We really had to work hard and make sure that we didn't just expect the best would happen just because of a four-chair turn," Shannon added.
The Voice's eleventh-season Battles will begin on Monday, October 10 at 8PM ET/PT on NBC.
