Tonight kicked off the Battle Rounds where we see artists on Team Gwen going head-to-head to secure a spot going forward in the show. Gwen is joined by worldwide superstar Celine Dion as her mentor during rehearsals and the pair look like they couldn’t be happier working with one another. During tonight’s Battles, we see two of Gwen’s artists perform against one another and a first surprise steal from Gwen.

As we’ve done with previous seasons, we’ll post highlights from each episode, including live Tweets, photos and videos, in-between the east and west coast airings. If you’re wanting to avoid spoilers, we recommend heading back to the site after the west coast airing to discuss the episode with us.
