Adam used his steal for the first time after keeping them unused in two previous nights.
Team Blake's Josh Hayer and TSoul opened the battle that night, performing "In the Midnight Hour" by Wilson Pickett. Blake had always believed that among his squad, no one was quite like TSoul. TSoul proved Blake right and defeated Josh Hayer with his crisp energy. No one stole Josh.
Next to take the stage were Autumn Turner and Vanessa Ferguson from Team Alicia. Autumn and Vanessa sang Roberta Flack's "Killing Me Softly with His Song" which Alicia worked on the impressive R&B arrangement with them. After much deliberation, Alicia picked Ferguson over Autumn.
