The Battles

The battle round began at the end of episode 5. The coaches will face two contestants from their team in a duet, choosing one to advance to the next round, with the other being eliminated from their team. In addition, each coach is awarded two "steals," giving them the opportunity to save losing contestants. The winning and stolen contestants will advance to the Semifinal round. The co-coaches were Sofía Reyes for Team Natalia, Tommy Torres for Team Carlos, Prince Royce for Team Anitta, and the Piso 21 group for Team Maluma.
