Soulful Austin Jenckes Wins Battle For Team Blake on ‘The Voice’ [VIDEO]

Blake Shelton paired country boy Brian Pounds and soulful Austin Jenckes, as the battle rounds continue on 'The Voice.' They performed the Bee Gee's 'To Love Somebody.'

Although Blake thought they both did a great job, he 'loved' Jenckes a little more and choose to keep him on Team Blake for the knock-out rounds, beginning next week. Blake thinks Jenckes is his ticket to another 'Voice' win and I tend to agree with him. That soulful voice is amazing and he's got the personality to match.

@NBCTheVoice @BrianPounds Thank you for being AWESOME!!!! #BattlesContinue #TeamBlake

After keeping Jenckes, Blake was a little surprised no one stole Brian for their team.

Are y'all kidding?? @BrianPounds deserved a steal for that performance!! #BattlesContinue — Blake Shelton (@blakeshelton) October 22, 2013
