Round two is between Kelly Clarkson's team members Megan Danielle and Samantha Howell, featuring Dua Lipa as a guest coach.

Kelly says she paired these two singer-songwriters on a country song, even though that's not either's primary genre, giving them the opportunity to push past what's comfortable. Considering Kelly was the only one who turned for Megan and blocked Blake Shelton for Samantha, it's clear this is going to be a tough choice for her.

Both singers have extremely powerful vocals as well, meaning even fans might have a hard time picking one of them.

The two sang a beautiful country song with Patty Griffin's 'Top of the World'. Megan started out with a gorgeously raspy voice, while Samantha has a much lighter voice and used her twang perfectly, making her sound as country as it gets.

"Samantha is straight country, and I love it," tweeted one fan, but later adding "I will have to go with Megan though." Another said, "Samantha Howell vs Megan Danielle With 2 nicely distinct voices. I’m surprised at the strength and emotion from Meg while Sam is sneaky and deadly. Love her vibrato, but Meg is kinda blowing my mind. Great"

"Two great country voices....... but.... Samantha gets my vote," tweeted one fan, while another said "Well done ladies! Megan vs Samantha Both voices were beautiful. I'm leaning towards Megan though."

The vote is clearly split down the middle!

One fan tweeted, "WOW... hate to be in your shoes! Samantha vs Megan? Both could go all the way... who will you choose?" and another stated, "I hope there is a steal or save with Megan and Samantha. Both very talented."

The coaches loved them both, stating it was so difficult to just pick one, but Kelly finally picked Megan stating she comes back stronger each time and really fights for her spot on the show.

And right at the last second, Kelly saved Samantha as well. Kelly says she's amazing at adapting to genres and it wouldn't be right to not have her in the finale.

And while it's amazing we will get to see more of these two amazing singers, it does mean it's going to be even harder in the upcoming knockout rounds.
