The third night of Battles for Season 26 of The Voice had a whole lot of stealing taking place on Monday night at the end of the duets pairing two members of each team in sing-offs.
Coaches Reba McEntire, Gwen Stefani, Snoop Dogg and Michael Bublé tried to add the best eliminated contestants to their teams with the two Steals each has this season.
On night one, both Michael and Gwen used their Steals. Michael to take Sloane Simon from Team Gwen, and Gwen to rescue Mori Ilderton from Team Michael. On night two, Reba used her first Steal to take Frankie Torres from Team Gwen. Night three saw Gwen steal Deon Jones from Team Reba and Reba, Michael and Snoop all tried to Steal Austyns Stancil from Team Gwen, but we won’t find out until Tuesday night which team he joins.

Gwen said, “I couldn’t let him go home. It seems as if he can do almost anything with his voice. He’s not only a great singer, he’s a great performer. I am looking forward to finding out what kind of music he wants to do and diving in with him.”

Battle Round 3: Cozy Len vs Felsmere from Team Gwen
Song: “Summer Breeze” by Seals & Crofts
Winner: Felsmere
Gwen said: “I had to go with Felsmere because I want to see more from her. I want to see what we can do together. I don’t have any girls like that on my team with this great voice and she has this confidence. I feel like I can help her to get better.”
Battle Round 4: Shye vs Jamison Puckett from Team Bublé
Song: “Love Yourself” by Justin Bieber
Winner: Shye
Michael said: “I see Shye having a ton of potential because she just has that special of a voice. Honestly, I just hear Adele. She literally just blew me away. I think she has a great future in this business.”
Battle Round 5: Creigh Riepe vs Lauren Michael-Sellers from Team Reba
Song: “You Will Be Found” from Dear Evan Hansen
Winner: Lauren Michael-Sellers
Reba said: “I chose Lauren Michael because she’s redheaded. I liked everything about her. You want to hear somebody who gives you joy. I think the women watching this show will really fall in love with her. She could be the lady who just lives down the road from you, and she can sing so well. It really hit me hard.”
