1. Sasha was stolen by Gwen Stefani.

Sasha performed the Bishop Briggs hit “River” for her Blind Audition. Camila Cabello and John Legend turned their red chairs for Sasha. Sasha chose Camila as her coach. The singer went head-to-head with Devix in the Battles, and Camila ended up keeping Devix on her team. Gwen Stefani quickly used her only steal in the Battles to nab Sasha. Gwen said that Sasha’s performance was “too good,” and Sasha just needed a little “love” to push her in the “right direction.”

After the 3-way Knockout between Sasha, Alyssa, and Dayshia, John and Blake Shelton both told Gwen that she should pick Sasha as the winner. “Sasha, every note you hit was flawless,” John said. “I loved your vibrato. Vocally it was just a tour de force. Though, decision-wise for Gwen, I think it’s tough. But I think as a vocalist, I think Sasha was my favorite.” Blake added that he would “be going with Sasha right now.”
