Blake’s team is up first with the pairing of 14-year-old Brennley Brown of California versus 24-year old Lauren Duski of Tennessee. Both contestants can’t believe they are working with Blake and Luke. They both encourage Lauren to put more emotion into her signing Better Man including some anger. She taps into her memories of a failed relationship and nails the song. Brennley is encouraged to work on her diction. They have to be able to understand what she is saying. Luke feels like he is watching stars being born.
Alicia loved them both and can’t believe that Brennley was able to express the emotion of the song even though she has not had the life experience. Gwen loved them both but would pick Brennley if she had to. Adam loved them both for different reasons. He loves Lauren’s grace and Brennley’s energy.

Kenny P is worried about competing again JChosen due to the powerfulness of his voice but Gwen has faith in him.
Both sing amazingly and Adam says they are dead even. He doesn’t envy Gwen having to make a choice. Blake and Alicia both think they are dead even but Gwen decides JChosen will continue on her team. His vocal ability and his stage presence can’t be denied. None of the other judges steal Kenny P.

Alicia paired them together because of the soulfulness of their voices. Alicia encourages Felicia to feel the joy of the song while she pushes Quizz to hit the high notes. They will sing Titanium by Sia. Quizz is the youngest contestant ever to compete on the show and he feels he has something to prove. They both are so amazing but Gwen would go with Quizz while Adam would go with Felicia. Blake would pick Felicia. Alicia picks Quizz and Blake steal Felicia for his team.

The battle begins with the women singing How Blue by Reba McEntire. Alicia loves them both but Gwen would go with Casi. Casi ultimately wins based on Blake’s gut feeling and all three of the other judges try to steal Ashley. All three coaches try to make their case but Ashley picks Alicia.
