## Battles

The Battles advisors were Bez and Darey for all teams. Bez coached the artists on their vocals while Darey coached them on their stage performance.
Coaches could steal two losing artists and advance them to the next round. Coach Timi made an exception as he paired three acts together to battle because he turned for "Tara & Bella" after his team was full in the blind auditions.
At the end of the battles each coach had six original artists and two stolen artists making up eight advancing artists on their team.
