'The Voice' 2023 Battles: Fans hail Kelly Clarkson for saving the day as she swoops in to steal Kala Banham

Many fans believe that Kala Banham is an amazing steal and will be a great addition to Kelly Clarkson's team

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Blind Auditions have finally come to an end after six episodes of 'The Voice' Season 23. Let the Battles begin! Coaches Blake Shelton, Kelly Clarkson, Niall Horan, and Chance the Rapper will pair up their team members for duets in the coming episodes, with only one singer crowned the winner by their coach, and viewers can't wait to see it all unfold.

The losing contestant will either be eliminated, stolen by another coach with their one steal, or receive a playoff pass, as is customary on the NBC show. This season, the playoff pass is a new addition, and each coach can give one pass to a contestant, allowing them to skip the Knockouts. The competition has just gotten more interesting. Gina Miles and Kala Banham are the first to compete for a spot on Niall Horan's team.

Niall chose Birdy's 'Skinny Love' for Kala and Gina to sing during the Battles. He chose the two young singers for their "beautiful storytellers" and sweet voices. After losing sleep the previous night due to this tough decision, Niall picked Gina instead of Kala. But Kala is still in the competition as Kelly used her only steal to keep her! The viewers and fans of the show are ecstatic to see the young artist not go home.
