AceShowbiz - Hopefuls in "The Voice" season 24 continued their Battles in the Monday, October 30 episode. The new outing saw coaches Reba McEntire, John Legend, Niall Horan and Gwen Stefani making hard choices to pick one of their singers sent to a face-off.
The first singers to have a Battle were Ruby Leigh and Al Boogie from Team Reba. The two tried to showcase their best skills while belting out "Jolene" by Dolly Parton. The song seemingly suited Ruby better as it was too low for AI. Niall said it was a "fun" performance, while Gwen loved Ruby's stage presence. Reba eventually picked Ruby. Al was eliminated as no one stole him.
Following it up were Team Gwen's RUDI and Josslynn Rose who sang "My Immortal" by Evanescence. John thought Josslyn was poised and controlled. Meanwhile, Niall praised RUDI for kicking off the song in a great lower register. While both of them were good, Gwen had to choose one. She decided to keep RUDI on the competition, while Josslyn was sent home.
Singing "Lego House" by Ed Sheeran were Noah Spencer and Reid Zingale from Team Niall. Gwen raved over Reid's "cool and interesting" tone. Reba and John said that Noah had amazing rasp. After much deliberation, Niall named Noah as the winner and Reid was eliminated.
Taylor Deneen and AZAN from Team John later took the stage to sing "Do It" by Chloe X Halle. It was a tough decision for John to make because both singers were amazing. Reba even called their performance a "professional" one. John thought AZAN was great, but he definitely was more impressed by Taylor. The coach picked Taylor. Niall and Reba tried to steal AZAN, who later went to Team Niall.
Up next, Team Niall's Alexa Wildish and LVNDR hit the stage to sing "everything i wanted" by Billie Eilish. Gwen loved the "pretty" performance, while John noticed Billie's influence in LVNDR. Reba said that while she liked LVNDR's airy voice, she would pick Alexa as the winner. Niall apparently agreed with Reba as he sent Alexa to the next round. LVNDR was eliminated.
Later, a montage revealed a Battle between Team Gwen's Jenna Marquis and Claire Heilig who sang "Flowers" by Miley Cyrus. Jenna came out as the winner and Claire was eliminated.
Team John's Kaylee Shimizu and Elizabeth Evans then performed "Traitor" by Olivia Rodrigo. Reba said that the two complimented each other, but she leaned towards Elizabeth. Niall was so impressed by 17-year-old Kaylee. John eventually chose Kaylee as the winner. Reba stole Elizabeth.
