Amber Carrington vs. Sasha Allen
Song: Pink, Try
Together, their big voices held up the harmonies and made the first decision of the night very difficult for Levine. He went with country singer Amber. However, Usher and Shakira were there to use their “steal” to add Sasha to their teams- she chose Shakira.
Judith Hill vs. Karina Iglesias
Song: James Brown, It’s a Man’s Man’s Man’s World
The best battle of the night. The duet featured two huge voices that took over and escalated to an unforgettable ending and a standing ovation. Levine chose Judith. Shakira rushed to steal Karina, making her the first coach to ever use both her steals on the first night of battle.
