The latest episode of Season 26 of The Voice premiered on Monday, October 28, 2024, featuring the third evening of the highly-anticipated Battles phase. This round saw two contestants from each team going head-to-head, vying for a coveted spot in the Knockouts. The coaches faced tough decisions, needing to eliminate one contestant from each battle, effectively ending their journey on the show.
Coaches had the option to utilize their Steal button to add eliminated contestants to their own teams. In this week’s episode, coach Reba McEntire paired Danny Joseph with Deon James, assigning them the task of performing the iconic track, It’s a Man’s Man’s World, by James Brown. Despite their contrasting vocal styles, Reba felt confident that they could deliver a standout rendition of the classic.
Post-performance, Reba was left to make a challenging choice. Ultimately, she crowned Danny as the Battle’s champion, sending Deon home. However, just as Deon was about to exit the stage, coach Gwen Stefani decided to intervene with her Steal and added him to her team.
Fans of The Voice expressed their admiration on X, commending the contestants for their electrifying performance and how it warranted a Steal from Gwen.
