    The Battles

    The Battle Round started on October 19. Contestants who win their battle or are stolen by another coach will advance to the Top 3 Round. The coaches will face 2 participants from their team in a duet, choosing one to pass the round, the other being eliminated from their team, in addition, each coach is awarded 3 "Steals", giving the opportunity to save losing participants advancing like this with 11 participants to the Knockouts. This is the first in 3 consecutive seasons to have no saves after battles, with non-steal eliminations being definitive exits from the competition. The winner and stolen participants will advance to the Knockouts round. The co-coaches in this edition were Mario Domm for team Ricky, Álex Ubago for team Pausini, Ricardo Montaner for team Julión and Poncho Lizárraga for team Yuri.

    Reception

    This season of The Voice had a mixed reception in the media, having both positive and negative reviews within the same providers.The negative notes tended to focus on the controversy generated by artists considered "Professionals" within the format, the main one mentioned being Natalia Sosa who has a long career and is considered a reference in musical theater.[4] This controversy was gaining strength from the audition when Natalia chose Yuri as her coach, whom she had previously met personally, despite the fact that the singer from Veracruz denied a close relationship in each interview, describing Natalia as an "acquaintance".[5] Another well-known contestant to hit the stage was Xava Drago, ex-vocalist of the band CODA, who was not selected for any team after his blind audition. Drago's performance caused controversy within the broadcast. Drago assured: "I'm happy, I'm cool, I sang, they treated me well, it did make me crazy because of the way the judges treated me, but that's how it is, they're not the first people who don't like me." He also denied the versions that say he received a payment for participating in the broadcast.[6] In the positive notes, an increase in the impact of the coaches was considered, counting on what to date is considered the most diverse and renowned panel within the broadcasts in Mexico, competing against the one from the second season (The first panel of coaches of 4 different nationalities).[7]
