Recap
(Updates through the night. Please chat in the comments just like old times!)
Team Blake Shelton
This is going to be an intense battle! Sisaundra and Biff compliment each other's performances. They both choose "It's a Man's Man's Man's World" by James Brown.
"Let's bring the godfather in and do this justice," said Sisaundra.
During rehearsal, Blake said that they work great together. Biff called Sisaundra a nuclear bomb. Blake's advice to Biff is not to mimic Sisaundra.
Chris Martin: "Sisaundra's voice might be too good."
"I want to prove that you can be relevant no matter how old you are," said Biff.
"My plan B is my plan A. To win." said Sisaundra.

This was excellent from the opening. Wow. Wow. Wow. What a pairing. Thank you Blake Shelton for bringing these two together.
BDND FOREVER!!! Go Sisaundra!
Usher: That's a man. And that's a woman. In the end that high note where did you find that? I'm proud of both of you. I give it to Biff.
Shakira: Biff your voice is timeless. So authentic. Your register's sick.
Adam Levine: I'm 80% sure you are not from the planet earth (to Sisaundra). All we ever teach anyone on this show is what you guys did.
Blake Shelton: You guys solidify why this is the best singing show on television.
Result
Sisaundra Lewis wins the battle!
No steal. Biff Gore is eliminated from The Voice.
Sisaundra Lewis. The queen.
Team Shakira
Ddendyl vs. Deja Hall
Shakira tells them to choose a song that makes them comfortable.
They pick "Say Something" by a Great Big World and Christina Aguilera.
Shakira said that Deja needs to connect with the song.
Chris Martin suggests that Deja should get inspired by Harry Styles.
"Ddendyl has issues with her stage presence," said Shakira.
Performance
Very interesting combination of girl voices. Drendyl had more grit in her tone while Deja had more polish. This was a very good duet. Nice and sweet.
Adam Levine: It's a full circle thing, this song makes me proud of being on the show.
Blake Shelton: You guys are incredible singers.
Usher: Both of you did really great. Who do you choose to invest in?
Shakira: I love you both I really do. As people as artists. Ddendyl is artistic. Deja is authentic.
Result
Deja Hall is the winner of the battle!
No steal.
Ddendyl is eliminated from The Voice.
Team Shakira
Kristen Merlin vs Emily B.
"I Can Love You Better" by the Dixie Chicks
Result
Kristen Merlin is the winner of the battle
Emily B. is eliminated from The Voice.

Team Usher
They chose "Story of My Life" by One Direction. The two of them were good friends. Usher said that in this pairing he thinks one of them will be stolen.
Chris Martin said that luckily the song was for five voices so it should work for the two of them.
Performance (Watch the video)
This was amazing. Each of them brought something different to the song. Shall I say better than the original? I thought this was very good! One of the best duets on the show ever, I love it.
Shakira: Stevie Jo I didn't know you had that in you.
Adam Levine: That was sung by a couple of men up there. That was awesome.
Blake Shelton: There were stuff there that I didn't know you were capable of (to Morgan).
Usher: What this shows me was that you are student (to Morgan). (To Stevie) You have a soulful essence.
Result
Stevie Jo is the winner of the battle!
Steal: Adam Levine!
Morgan Wallen is now on Team Adam!
