AceShowbiz - "The Voice" resumed the Battle Rounds in the Tuesday, October 24 episode. More pairs hit the stage to flaunt their skills. While the coach could only name one of them the winner of the Battle, the singers still had hopes to remain in the competition with the coaches' steals.
The first face off was between Team Niall Horan's Nini Iris and Sophia Hoffman. They hit the stage to sing "Heart of Glass" by Blondie. Sophia hoped to impress the coaches by hitting poignant notes, while Nini did some growls to showcase similar energy. Gwen Stefani loved Nini's runs and Sophia's rich tones, while John Legend said that the performance was fun. Niall eventually chose Nini as the winner, and Sophia was eliminated.
Calla Prejean and Chechi Sarai from Team Gwen performed next, singing "I Will Never Love Again" by Lady GaGa. Chechi showed her vulnerability during her part, while Calla offered delicacy with her take on the song. John said he was impressed by the richness of Chechi's intro. As for Reba McEntire, she praised Chechi for completing Calla's lower notes. Gwen agreed with them as she picked Chechi over Calla, who was sent home.
In the montage, Team John's Talakai and Caleb Sasser performed Sam Smith's "Too Good at Goodbyes". Caleb came out as the winner as John loved his "mysterious" and "ethereal" tone. Another performance by Team John saw Jarae Womack going head-to-head with Lila Forde in a performance of "Killing Me Softly" by Roberta Flack. Lila won the Battle.
Following it up, Team Reba's Rachele Nguyen and four-chair turner Mac Royals sang "How Deep Is Your Love" by the Bee Gees. Rachele, who went to Team Reba by default, wowed Niall with her inherent power. Meanwhile, John said he preferred Mac's "buttery" vocals.
Surprisingly, Reba named Rachele as the winner because she didn't think Mac incorporated a more exact intro. Mac, however, stayed in the competition as John stole him.
