The hit NBC series has been on air for over the past two decades and has been extremely well-received by the audience.

Chance The Rapper prepares Manasseh and Sorelle for their battle on The Voice
Tonight's episode of The Voice saw the contestants getting ready for the first round of battles. Throughout the episode, the coaches witnessed great performances, while also sadly sending a few singers home. Viewers witnessed numerous steals and were happy with the coaches' decisions.
The final battle of the episode was between Manasseh Samone and sister trio Sorelle. The duo loved being on Team Chance and were excited to work with him. The sisters revealed that the reason they chose the coach was because he proved he could help them with their harmonies.
Manasseh was grateful to work with The Voice coach and noted that he was a "God-given talent." Chance began his training by getting a pulse on how the duo were feeling. The contestant reflected on her blind audition and recalled being relieved after the coach was the only one who turned his chair and that too, by the end of her performance.
Sorelle called Chance the "jack of all trades." Explaining the reason behind the song choice, the coach said:
"I gave this song because I know Manasseh can sing big. I also feel like Sorelle is perfect because they can switch back and forth between unison and harmonies to elevate the song. I played it to both of their vocal strengths."
The Voice coach also revealed that both the contestants' harmonies lead to gospel music, which is why he paired them for the battle. Throughout the training, Chance kept giving his feedback. He also switched up the arrangement to have Sorelle sing a bit of acapella and have Manasseh build it up from there.
The intense training resulted in a wonderful performance in the battle rounds. The duo earned a standing ovation from all the coaches. They even complimented Chance's arrangement. Although it was a tough decision, he picked Sorelle to move forward.
However, The Voice coach pressed his only Playoff Pass for Manasseh, moving both contestants to the next round of the competition. He felt that the singer was meant to compete and could go very far on the show.
