"The Voice": Adam Levine and Usher battle for a steal

It was another night of battles on Tuesday's episode of "The Voice," and two of the coaches got into a bout of their own over a singer both wanted to steal.

Blake Shelton pitted 16-year-old Danielle Bradbery against 18-year-old Caroline Glaser on a performance of "Put Your Records On" by Corinne Bailey Rae.

Shakira called their rendition "as refreshing as a tangerine ice cream." Levine said Bradbury's performance was "maybe more perfect," but that Glaser's voice has "just something so ethereal and magical and wonderful."

In the end, perfection won out. Shelton picked Bradbery, but Glaser wasn't out yet -- Levine and Usher quickly pushed their buttons for the steal and began pleading her to join their respective teams.

"What you do just astonishes me," the Maroon 5 singer said. "I don't know why I didn't hop to it earlier, but I can promise you I can do everything in my power to make it up to you if you come to my team."

Usher said he loved her voice and "the potential of what I know I can do with you." He also borrowed a line from Levine, telling Glaser he was willing to set himself on fire.

Glaser ended up choosing Team Adam, making her the judge's first steal of the season.

Here's what happened in the other battles:

Team Adam: Warren Stone vs. Michael Austin, singing Jason Aldean's "My Kinda Party." Levine picked Stone.

Team Usher: Jeff Lewis went up against Josiah Hawley, singing "Roxanne" by The Police. He chose Hawley.

Usher also picked Audrey Karrasch over Jamila Thompson after their performance of Beyonce's "If I Were a Boy."

Team Blake: Shelton picked Grace Askew over Trevor Davis following their battle to "Me and Bobby McGee" by Janis Joplin.

Team Shakira: Tawnya Reynolds and Mark Andrew sang "The Chain" by Fleetwood Mac, and Shakira chose to keep Reynolds and send Andrew home.
