On Monday, Oct. 12, these contestants will embark on the battle rounds. The Voice YouTube channel has teased a video of each team prepping.
In the video below for Team Adam, Levine will have help coaching his contestants from Grammy winner John Fogerty. Levine will also be sporting a bald head.
It looks like Smith and Love got paired together to battle and Smith will blow Stefani away during the battle.
Monk and Dupre are another pair and they are actually singing a song of Fogerty's "Fortunate Son," which Fogerty explained as a song with "a lot of anger."
Fogerty further explained how the song came to be and Levine considered that moment "one of the best" he's ever experienced on the series.
The Grammy winner thinks the two contestants "did a great version" of his song, but he's not sure how Levine will pick between them.
"I don't know how he's going to make a choice," Fogerty said of Levine's upcoming decision.
Semple and Cabo are also paired together and they will bring the star quality stage presence during their battle!
Shelton will be joined by fellow country star Brad Paisley to coach his team for the battles. In the video below Baber will have a bit of a fangirl moment upon walking into the rehearsal room where his coach and Paisley are. Christensen is his battle partner who is equally thrilled over Paisley's presence.
Hughes and Crump is another pair while Frazier and Roberts are paired too. These contestants all show excitement upon seeing Paisley as well.
Blind Joe and Mitchell are then teased rehearsing for their battle of "Old Time Rock and Roll," which Shelton advises they have to really commit to it.
"You guys just have to give this everything you got from the moment the song starts," he told them in rehearsals.
"The battle rounds are so intense," Shelton later shares, adding, "I mean the competition level is high and the stress level for us coaches is even higher."
It seems like the country coach will regret putting Baber and Christensen together, but Levine is ready to jump at whichever one Shelton doesn't select.
Stefani has "Same Old Love" singer Selena Gomez helping during the battles. In the video below, Lawrence freaks out over meeting Gomez, sharing, "Meeting Selena Gomez, it just makes my heart want to explode."
Gomez even compliments Lawrence during their rehearsal sessions by saying, "Ellie, you have really good control."
Lawrence's partner Atlas will earn some pointers from Gomez since he made some mistakes.
Bukowski and Kerby have presented a tough battle for Stefani.
"This is a battle that is going to kill me," she declared, adding, "I do not know what I'm going to do."
Later in the teaser Gomez is shown talking about Sunshine and Stefani even shows how he should move around on stage. He'll end up wowing the coaches during the battle, but will it be enough to have his coach keep him over his battle partner Elm?
Lastly, Missy Elliott will join Pharrell as seen in the video below. Betton and Hood will be overcome with plenty of emotions upon seeing the rapper with Pharrell. The paired Team Pharrell contestants even bring Elliott to tears during their rehearsal since they're that good.
Pharrell's duo will go up against Vachal while Acero is paired with Im.
Acero and Im's battle will apparently impress Stefani a lot; so much actually that she'll deem it her fave battle ever.
The Voice airs on Mondays and Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET on NBC.
