Team Blake’s Kelly Crapa vs. Michaela Page
Shelton pits a country singer against a punk rocker, and they take on “I Hate Myself for Loving You.” Shelton warns Michaela not to oversing the song. Diring the battle, Michaela runs circles around Kelly when it comes to stage presence. Shelton says they both did amazing, but goes with Michaela.

Team Cee Lo’s Avery Wilson vs. Chevonne
Green says that both these singers have a dramatic quality in their voices, and he wants them to take on “Titanium.” Chevonne, who was a backup singer for Lady Gaga, has the experience, while Avery has the raw talent. During the battle, the duo work really well together, and it seems like Avery has gotten over those nerves. Green decides to keep Avery. Aguilera uses her final steal to bring Chevonne over to her team, which seems like a great fit.

Next week, the knockout rounds will feature five head-to-head competitions, which will lower the teams down 20 contestants for the live shows.
