The much-anticipated latest installment of The Voice, which aired on March 24, 2025, concluded its Battles round, leaving a significant impact on the competing teams. Coaches Kelsea Ballerini, Michael Bublé, Adam Levine, and John Legend faced challenging decisions as contenders performed in pairs. Each Battle culminated in declaring a winner, but the Coaches wielded the power of Steals and Saves, reshaping their team lineups ahead of the upcoming Knockouts.
Reshaping Teams: Kelsea and Bublé’s Final Steals
As the episode progressed, one of the defining moments featured Tinika Wyatt’s duet with Conor James. Although Coach Adam Levine opted not to select Wyatt, Kelsea Ballerini promptly seized the opportunity to add her to her roster, praising her performance with the remark:
“That might have been my favorite Battle.”
Additionally, Michael Bublé made a dramatic last-minute decision to steal Simone Marijic, who had initially been eliminated by Ballerini. The episode also showcased final performances from notable Battle Advisors, including Cynthia Erivo for Team Bublé, Kate Hudson for Team Adam, Little Big Town for Team Kelsea, and Coco Jones for Team Legend. With the absence of any further Steals or Saves, the stage is now primed for the highly anticipated Knockout round.
Ballerini wrapped up the Battles by retaining Iris Herrera, Dan Kiernan, and Page Mackenzie while also adding Wyatt to her team. Wyatt’s memorable performance alongside Conor James of “Girl”by Maren Morris particularly stood out, prompting Ballerini to declare it her favorite Battle thus far.
On the other hand, Bublé exercised his Steal for Simone, bringing her back from the brink of elimination, which Adam Levine poetically referred to as “the threshold of death.” Bublé humorously commented on his strategic choice:
“I know what I want and I know how to get good ratings.”
In addition to Marijic, Bublé kept Divighn and Adam David, utilizing the opportunity to promote his own song, “Home,”performed by David and Ricardo Moreno during their Battle. He claimed it was penned by “one of the greatest singer-songwriters in the world,” humorously referencing himself and even acknowledging the common misconception that the song belongs to Blake Shelton. These pivotal decisions significantly influenced both teams as they head into the Knockouts next week.
Finalizing Team Lineups: Adam and Legend’s Strategic Choices
Coach Adam Levine concluded his team adjustments, retaining Trevon Dawson and Conor James while parting ways with Tinika Wyatt, who was subsequently stolen by Ballerini. Levine expressed contentment with Ballerini’s choice, as it granted Wyatt another chance in the competition. He further highlighted Trevon Dawson’s unique background in country music, noting his training solely under his father.
In contrast, John Legend opted for continuity, not making any changes to his team during the final Battles. He celebrated Renzo and Jacquelyn George’s victories in their respective performances without summoning a Steal or Save. While his roster remained intact, Legend acknowledged the immense talent present on the show, expressing his admiration for vocalists Divighn and Dimitrius Graham:
“I’m jealous of those tenors.”
This episode marked the farewell for Battle Advisors, as Cynthia Erivo concluded her mentorship for Team Bublé, Kate Hudson finalized her involvement with Team Adam, Little Big Town wrapped up coaching Team Kelsea, and Coco Jones bid adieu to Team Legend.
With the Battles officially over, all Coaches are poised to embark on the Knockouts with their finalized teams, ready to face the next stage of competition.
