Kicking off the battle that night were Andrew Jannakos and Patrick McAloon from Team Adam Levine. The two joined forces to sing Tom Petty's "Free Fallin' ". Despite initial struggle with falsetto, Andrew managed to prove his worth to the judges during the performance. That was enough to make Adam choose him as the winner.
With that, Andrew joined Domenic Haynes, Celia Babini, LB Crew, Mari, Kalvin Jarvis, Rod Stokes and Kendra Checketts from Team Adam who moved to the next round.
The next performers were Team Blake Shelton's Selkii and Cecily Hennigan, who hit the stage to perform "Head Above Water" by Avril Lavigne.

Also going for a face-off that night were Carter Lloyd Horne and Lili Joye from Team Blake, with Carter winning.
Alena D'Amico and Karen Galera later went head-to-head as the final battle for Kelly Clarkson's team. After much consideration, Kelly chose Karen as the winner of the battle.

Kayslin Victoria and Oliv Blu from Team John Legend later took the stage to perform a rendition of Khalid's "Location". The two singers nailed the performance, but there was only one singer who would move forward and it was Kayslin. But fortunately, Blake used his steal to get Oliv on his team.
