It's the battles week on 'The Voice' Season 21, and the contestants are leaving no stone unturned to retain their spot on the hit NBC singing competition show. OG coach and eight-time winner of 'The Voice' championship- Blake Shelton is on a mission to win this season too and become the nine-time champion. So, for the battles round he decided to pit two of his Team Blake's top performers against each other- Carson Peters and Clint Sherman.

Both the young singers look up to Blake as their country music icon and were filled with gratitude to be mentored by him and Dierks Bentley. Blake chose Vince Gill’s 'Don’t Let Our Love Stop Slippin’ Away', for their battles performance. During the rehearsals, both Carson and Clint left their mentors speechless with their impeccable vocals. Both Blake and Dierks encouraged the performers to make the song their own during the performance.

It was finally time for Clint and Carson to give their final performance, and they didn't disappoint. Ariana Grande and Kelly Clarkson couldn't get enough of Carson's smooth vocals. In fact, Ariana even declared that Carson's performance was making her look at country music in a new light. For John Legend, Clint's vocals were flawless. The coaches were hard-pressed to find any flaws in the duo's performance as they brought two very different elements to the table. While Clint's soulful voice was the perfect fit for country music, Carson's rocky edge caught everybody's attention.

It was finally time for Blake to pick the winner of the battle, and he chose Carson. Unfortunately, since no other coaches hit the steal button on Clint, he was eliminated from the competition. Fans weren't pleased with the coach's decision with respect to sending Clint home. A fan tweeted, "#TheVoice @CarsonPMusic vs #ClintSherman I wanna say both of these guys did great tonight and has bright future ahead and I wanna say I would go with Clint as the winner of the battle."
