FLOSSMOOR, IL — Flossmoor's Oliv Blu fought a tough battle on The Voice Tuesday night, and although team leader John Legend chose her opponent, Blu came out unscathed and will keep competing after Blake Shelton "stole" her for his team.

Blu went head-to-head with teammate Kayslin Victoria in a duet of “Location” by Khalid. Legend said it was a tough choice, and chose Victoria instead.

Check out her performance on the Battle Round.
