The epic battle for Roar’s talents unraveled ina dramatic manner, with both coaches making compelling pitches, “I would love to work with you,” Gwen, aged 54, exclaimed. “I feel like I'm in this new period of my life where I really learned a lot about country music and fell in love with country music in a way I never thought I would. I would love for you to be on team Gwen.” This heart-touching plea came after Roar, a 37-year-old wedding DJ from North Plains, Oregon, delivered a show-stopping performance of Gretchen Wilson's 'Here For The Party.'

The competition amplified as McEntire, the new coach on the block at the age of 68, made her move. Standing up, she portrayed her 'award-winning belt buckle' and appealed to Roar’s competitive spirit, asserting, “You and I are kind of on the same vein of thinking, winning, working together, and win this whole sucker.” It was an extremely tough decision for Roar, and to make things even more fun and thrilling, she brought her six-year-old daughter, Leilani, on stage to help her decide. After all four judges turned around, it was a nail-biting moment. 'That was insane,' exclaimed 30-year-old Niall Horan. The adorable Leilani whispered her choice in her mother's ear. 'We pick Gwen," announced Roar. Stefani rushed out to give Leilani her team shirt, and the little girl expressed her excitement, saying, “I always wanted to see you in real life.” A thrilled Stefani replied, “Here we are, finally.”

The blind auditions continued with other remarkable performances. Laura Williams, a 20-year-old from Quakertown, Pennsylvania, caught the attention of Stefani, Horan, McEntire, and John Legend with her rendition of Lauren Spencer-Smith's 'Fingers Crossed.' In spite of Legend’s dismay about Laura being a One Direction fanatic, she ultimately chose Horan as her coach, proving that music transcends fan limitations. As per Daily Mail reports, Ms. Monet, a 50-year-old background singer from Pittsburg, California, influenced both Stefani and McEntire with her eloquent performance of Steve Winwood's 'Higher Love.' The confession that she had worked with industry heavyweights like Kenny Loggins, Huey Lewis & the News, Faith Hill, and Queen Latifah added to the curiosity. Ultimately, Laura, who sang backup on Gwen's Christmas album, chose McEntire as her coach.
