UPDATE: All Battle Pairings Confirmed
Right after the Blind auditions came to an end, The Battles were previewed and unlike the american version, they'll last just two days. In the next weekend, the remaining 40 contestants will battle it out for a place in the liveshows, with only 5 of each team making it. So here you'll find some of the pairings for next week, as well as some predictions. Excited for any of these battles?

UPDATED with confirmed battles
UPDATED with confirmed battles
Team Will
Kate Read - Great tone and ultimately, better than Frances. Both girls are quite quriky though, so I can see Frances making it also. It's a toss up.
J Marie Cooper - The girl has a lot of attitude and was probably one of the most remarkable auditions of the series. Sophie was good too but J Marie is just better than the youngster.
Jaz Ellington - He moved the judges to tears and sang two songs instead of one. With that overpimping, there's no way that Will isn't picking him.
Joelle Moses - She was one of the few to get all 4 coaches to turn and despite Jenny brought a good show during the auditions, it wasn't as good as Joelle. She's shoe in for the liveshows.
Tyler James - Heshima and Tyler are not such a crazy pairing actually. Both have great voices and though their styles are different, I think this can work. It's a toss up though, I'd like any of them to advance but I've a feeling it'll be Tyler.
Team Tom
Barbara Bryceland - This was a toss up but I think Tom will back up Barbara, considering Leanne could be somewhat more current. Tom has a thing for old fashioned people.
Ruth Brown - Rachel Crow with some more years of experience. The girl has a huge voice and unlike her competitor, she's quite current, plus Deniece's voice isn't as good as her. However, if she screwes in the battle, I could see Deniece in.
Aundrea Nyle - This is probably not the right pairing but I can bet that Tom will be putting Aundrea and Sam against each other. Both have big voices and I can't see Tom not pitting them against each other. It's definitely another toss up here but I think Aundrea will have the edge.
Matt and Sueleen - I was expecting Tom to pit Matt and Sueleen against Denise, but now that he's pairing the duo with Lindsey Butler, I think she'll be ultimately eliminated. The duo's audition was stunning but they also had something really current.
Denise Morgan - So Tom decided to pick Denise and Adam. Interesting decision. Denise wasn't good at all, but the tone was there and I've heard some previous material from her and I know she's much better. I'm expecting her to nail her battle.

Team Danny
Emmy J Mac - Her audition was beautiful, and her previous covers too, so it will be a shame if Danny decided to put Aleks through. Her tone is really distinctive and despite Danny may be tempted to pick Aleks, I think it will be Emmy ultimately, considering the three coachs who chose Emmy loved her.
Max Milner - Bill's audition was good but Max's mash up of "Lose Yourself/Come Together" was quite epic, I think Danny will consider that when making a decision, regardless who good they sing. Plus Max is one of the few frontrunners at this stage.
Bo Bruce - This is a rather obvious one. There's no way Danny will pick Vince over Bo. His audition was quite plain, whereas Bo's was fantastic. Bo will have to really screw it up in order to get eliminated.
David Julien - John's audition was quite interesting, his song choices were really surprising and he's tone is wonderful. That said, Danny was very hesitant in picking him saying he already had two like him. One was probably David and his cover of Danny's song was pretty terrific and much more pleasant than John's.
Hannah Berney - I was expecting Hannah and Emmy to be paired together, even Bo, but since the three of them are competing in different battles, I think Danny wants to keep the three of them in the competition. Murray's audition was rather boring and Hannah's got a lovely tone. I hope Danny goes with her.
Team Jessie
Toni Warne - Alopecia pacient or not, Toni's got a n unmistakeable voice, as well as one of the most watched auditions on YouTube, and despite being a tad old fashioned, she's very passionate while performing, I think that'll give her the edge over Kirsten, who was very good during her audition though a little pitchy at parts.
Cassius Henry - His audition wasn't as good as I expected it to be, all because of his song choice. However, I'm not a fan of David either, and having heard Cassius previous material, I know he can be really good.
Vince Kidd - I'm kinda pissed Vince and Jessica have been paired together. Both had the potential to make it far, but now, one has to go. I think that will be Jessica just because I find Vince a little more interesting than her.
Becky Hil - Becky has charisma and a fantastic soulful voice, which all the judges loved instantly. I was hoping Indie and Pixie could make it as well, but Becky was much better than them. Jessie needs her in her team.
Oh well, guess we'll not have Indie and Pixie in the finals after all. So now that Ruth-Ann St. Luce is being pitted against Ben Kelly, I think Ruth will be winning this one. Yes, her audition was pitchy as hell but there's a lot of potential in her voice. Plus Ben is excruciatingly annoying, I really disliked Ben's audition. Not hated it but I got a really old fashioned theatrical vibe from him, plus he's voice sounded kinda goaty.
