Instead, she has her pal, country star, and friend ofThe VoiceKelsea Ballerinikeep her seat warm.

Other than that switcheroo, The Battles proceed as normal.

At least Kelly has team advisor Luis Fonsi to help her talk through the matchup in rehearsals.

After the live performance, all four of the coaches are beyond impressed.

Nick calls Ryleigh “magical” but thinks Gean takes it all to a new level.

He advises Gean to “open up his vowels a little more” although he praises his range.

Winner:Ryleigh Modig!

Steals/Saves:Both John and Nick press their buttons to steal Gean.

He is rewarded with a serenade of “Welcome to Team Legend (The Battles Remix).”

Both artists show off these qualities in the performance, leaving Blake with a tough choice.

Winner:Connor Christian!

He knows he is the extreme underdog going up against powerhouse Dana Monique and he’s scared.

He’s not wrong.

Dana Monique is a freaking star.

Criss calls her a “walking hurricane,” because her voice and presence are so “undeniable.”

Dana has to work on her more subtle moments and Devan needs to work on his confidence.

Their performance is a real show stopper (see also: Devan’s jacket).

Blake also notes that she is clearly “long overdue for an opportunity like this.”

He’s “come a long way” from his Blind Audition.

Winner:Dana Monique!

Steals/Saves:There’s no way Nick can let Devan just walk away after a performance like that.

He uses his one save to keep Devan Blake Jones onTeam Nickand send him forward to the Four-Way Knockout.

Devan is beside himself he wasn’t expecting to last in this pairing.

It’s a thing to see!

So they get coaching from the artist herself.

Pia needs to let go and loosen up a little to make an impact.

And that goes for the actual performance, too.

John calls Pia’s voice “powerful and piercing.”

Winner:Pia Renee!

Winner:Jose Figueroa, Jr.!

Avery is being pushed to put on more of a performance.

Both guys are successful in those endeavors.

The coaches are especially blown away by how deep their voices are.

Winner:Ethan Lively!

Avery is now on Team Kelly!
