LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: In the electrifying Battle Round of 'The Voice' Season 26, contestants Sloane Simon and Sydney Sterlace went head-to-head for a coveted spot on Team Gwen. They delivered a breathtaking rendition of Billie Eilish's 'Birds of a Feather,' captivating everyone in the process.

Choosing between them was no easy feat for Gwen Stefani. In a surprising twist, she opted for Sydney, despite her less polished stage presence, ultimately overlooking Sloane's undeniable talent. Gwen recognized Sydney's youth and potential as an opportunity for growth, but her fellow coaches expressed their doubts, urging her to choose Sloane instead. However, Gwen's decision turned out to be Michael Buble's biggest steal as he brought Sloane into his team. He had his sights set on her all along, and his determination ultimately paid off. Reba McEntire and Snoop Dogg also expressed their interest in Sloane, hitting their buzzers in support. However, in the end, Sloane chose to join Team Michael, making the right decision this time.
