The fourth night of the Battle Rounds in The Voice Season 26 aired on October 29, 2024, bringing another night of head-to-head duets where coaches continued narrowing down their teams. During the Battles, two artists from each team performed the same track as a duet, with only one advancing directly to the Knockouts—unless a rival coach decided to use a “Steal.”
This week, several artists faced elimination while others found second chances through steals. In the recent Battle results, the following artists went home after their respective battles: Tsola from Team Reba, Dreion from Team Snoop, and BEYA from Team Gwen.

The Battle between Aliyah Khaylyn and Sofronio Vasquez was a standout on Michael Bublé’s team, with the duo singing a ballad The Power of Love. Their rendition demonstrated both artists’ vocal range, making it a challenging decision for Bublé.
Finally, Sofronio Vasquez won the Battle, sealing his spot in the Knockouts. However, Aliyah Khaylyn did not leave without a second chance. Snoop Dogg noticed potential in her performance and used a “steal” to get her to his team. Aliyah got a fresh start and another opportunity to showcase her improvement in the following rounds of The Voice, under Snoop’s mentorship.
Team Reba: Jaukeem Fortson vs. Tsola
On Team Reba, Jaukeem Fortson and Tsola competed with their rendition of Higher Love. Reba McEntire applauded both singers for their abilities to inject fire and passion into their performances. Despite a close encounter, Jaukeem Fortson eventually won the Battle, advancing to the Knockouts.
However, Tsola was not selected by another coach and was thus eliminated. Reba urged Tsola to consider returning in future seasons, giving him guidance on how to choose a song that highlighted his best singing abilities. McEntire previously mentioned on The Voice that she took pride in helping artists even when they didn’t advance, offering them feedback to aid their musical journeys.
Team Snoop: Dreion vs. Georgia Starnes
The Battle on Team Snoop featured Dreion and Georgia Starnes performing Perfect Combination. Both artists brought their style to the duet. Snoop Dogg expressed admiration for them, highlighting how well they balanced their unique talents in a high-energy performance.
After careful consideration, Snoop chose Georgia Starnes as the winner of the Battle. Dreion, unfortunately, did not receive a “Steal” and was sent home following the act. Snoop acknowledged Dreion’s talent and reminded him that the experience he gained on The Voice stage could be a stepping stone to other opportunities in the industry.
Team Gwen: BEYA vs. Kay Sibal
On Team Gwen, BEYA and Kay Sibal faced off with the song Please Please Please. Gwen Stefani praised both singers for delivering a heartfelt performance, each bringing a unique style that captured the essence of the song. Stefani was particularly impressed by how they connected with the music and conveyed its emotional depth.
Ultimately, Stefani chose Kay Sibal as the winner, advancing her to the Knockouts. BEYA was not selected for a “Steal” by any of the other coaches and was eliminated from the competition. Gwen encouraged BEYA to continue pursuing music, noting the impressive growth shown in her performance during the The Voice Battles.
After four nights of Battles, coaches made significant progress in preparing their teams for the Knockouts. Each team is now one step closer to the live performances, where the surviving artists will showcase their abilities individually in the hopes of winning the season.
