After les Duels, each team consisted of eight contestants. The team coach would select five to go straight to the Live Shows, whereas the remaining three on his/her team would be in danger of elimination. Each contestant would sing a self-chosen song, with the coach having the option of saving only one to join his other 5 in the Live Shows for a resulting final 6 in each team. The other two are eliminated from the competition.
