Tonight is the premiere of the Battle Rounds which feature team’s artists going up against one another for a one-on-one battle to move on. Gwen is joined by pop star Selena Gomez in rehearsals to help mentor her team during these rounds.

After each performance, Gwen will have to choose which contestant to keep on her team while sending the other “losing” artist home. But there is a catch… The “loser” of the battle can potentially either be sent home or “stolen” to go to another team. For example, if Gwen had to choose between two and found one better than the other, Adam could potentially take one of her original picks for his own team. During this time, its custom for the coaches to also give advice and tips to move on to the next stage of competition to other artists. So during this stage of the competition, over the next few episodes Gwen might “steal” an artist from another team for her own (and vise versa).
