Social media exploded Monday (Oct. 28) when Austyns Stancil faced off against fellow four-chair turn artist Jose Luis in an epic performance of Sam Smith’s “Lay Me Down.” One astonished YouTube user even declared it “one of the best battles I’ve ever seen.” While great for viewers, the stunning battle presented a dilemma for coach Gwen Stefani, who could only send one of them to the next round. However, it wasn’t the end of the road for the loser.

Team Gwen Member Earns Rare Triple Steal on ‘The Voice’
Gwen Stefani took some time to brag on herself before making a crucial decision between Austyns Stancil and Jose Luis. “The fact that you both picked me, you made me look so good right now,” said the former No Doubt frontwoman.
“You both could win The Voice,” she added.
José and Austins voices are incredible! One of them might just win the voice! One of them is getting stolen! #voicebattles #thevoice

Ultimately, she went with Luis. Explaining her decision, Stefani said, “His voice has so much range, and I wanted to see more of what he could do.”
Almost as soon as host Carson Daly announced Stancil was available for a steal, Reba McEntire smashed her button. The “Fancy” singer was closely followed by coaching newcomers Michael Bublé and Snoop Dogg—securing an elusive triple steal for the California “girl dad” of four.
THREE WAY STEAL FOR AUSTYNS THANK GOD….

“Make it a triple!” Daly exclaimed. “Wow! This does not happen every day when all three of the other coaches go in on a steal.”

So Who Did He Choose?
Ultimately, the California crooner will continue his journey on The Voice with Snoop Dogg.
“Let me tell you this nephew. I wanted you the first time but I didn’t get you,” Snoop told his fellow West Coaster. “I want you the second time and I’m gonna get you. Let me tell you why I want you on my team.”
He continued, “I feel like Gwen did the perfect thing as far as showing you a range in how you can go outside of the box. I want to take you back home to that soul-ville. So, feel like joining my team after she just gave you a great illustration of what you can be, I can take you to where you want to be.”
