14 Oct
Summary
- The Voice Season 28 Battles begin with two saves and three eliminations
- Contestants choose their own duet partners for the first time in show history
- Reba McEntire sheds tears over tough decisions
On October 14th, 2025, The Voice launched its Season 28 Battles with a night of high drama and surprising outcomes. For the first time in the show's history, the contestants were tasked with choosing their own duet partners, adding an extra layer of strategy to the competition.
The evening saw several standout performances, including Yoshihanaa and Natalia Albertini's powerful rendition of "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman" and the harmonious duet between Aaron Nichols and Daron Lamee on "Fooled Around and Fell in Love." However, the coaches' decisions were not always easy, with Reba McEntire visibly emotional as she made the tough call to keep Aaron over Daron.
The night also featured two saves, as Snoop Dogg kept Natalia on his team and Michael Bublé chose to keep Trinity after her battle with Jazz McKenzie. Sadly, three contestants—Daron Lamee, Revel Day, and Kanard Thomas—were eliminated from the competition.
