Coach Gwen Stefani pitted Austyns Stancil against Jose Luis in The Voice season 26 episode 9. The coach predicted the future in the rehearsals and wrote on the wall that no matter who she chose as the winner of the bout, her competitor coaches would steal the contestant on the chopping block.
“I put you guys together knowing that one of you is gonna get stolen. It’s gonna happen!” Gwen said.
Austyn Stancil and Jose Luis wowed both the audience and the coaches with their exceptional vocal abilities during their duet of Lay Me Down by Sam Smith.
After the performance, Bublé, Snoop, and Reba were excited and ready to steal one of the two singers. Reba told Gwen that she wouldn't lose if she picked either of the contestants.
Gwen regretted the decision to pit two of her most talked about team members. She had to choose only of of them would represent her in the competition going forward. The Voice 26 coach eventually picked Jose and explained:
"It was such a tough decision, but I had to go with Jose. His dynamics, his motion. His voice has so much range. I just wanted to see more of what he could do.”
This left Stancil without a team, and host Carson Daly announced that The Voice season 26 contestant was available for a steal. Seizing the opportunity, Coach Reba quickly pressed her steal button, followed by Snoop and Bublé.
The three coaches each took turns presenting their pitch, sharing compelling reasons why they wanted Stancil on their team. Reba pitched:
"Austin, you need to be on my team because I'm red-headed and I love your shirt. When you came up on the stage, you were blowing kisses. Your confidence is so cool. Everything about you is what I love in a performer and I'd love to have you on my team."
Snoop shared that he wanted Stancil on his team when he arrived for the first time. However, the coach failed to get the contestant and said he didn't want to face the same disappointment a second time. He further added:
"I feel like Gwen did the perfect thing as far as showing you a range in how you can go outside of the box. I want to take you back home to that soul-ville. So, feel like joining my team after she just gave you a great illustration of what you can be, I can take you to where you want to be."
Bublé praised The Voice season 26 contestant for filling the stage "with so much love." He expressed his belief that he could help Stancil tap into that love on an even deeper level.
"I can give you that connection to an audience. You have that thing. And I'd love to be there with you as you get deeper and closer and you become the star that you were meant to be," Bublé added.
The Voice season 26 episode 10, The Battles Part 5, will premiere on November 4 on NBC.
