The second phase: The Battle Rounds
In the battle rounds, candidates from one team are paired off against each other, singing the same song. Only one of the two candidates advances to the next round. Xavier Naidoo and The Boss Hoss had picked up 17 candidates in the blind auditions. Since only 8 candidates from each team can advance, each of these teams has one three-way battle, from which only one candidate will advance to the next round.
