The Voice's season 9 battle rounds continued with its third episode on Monday night (Oct. 19) and just because we're 75 percent of the way through this round, don't think that the momentum was going to slow down.

We actually got some of the prettiest showings of season 9 yet on Monday, with stunning showings from Andi & Alex, Korin Bukowski and Viktor Kiraly. Every year, The Voice uses the same phrases with "best battles ever" and "greatest singers yet," but something about those generic runarounds felt genuine tonight...

See how it all played out.

Viktor Kiraly vs. Cassandra Robertson "Nobody Knows": First of all, to Adam Levine, way to have a really boring song choice. To Viktor Kiraly and Cassandra Roberts, there really is a special quality to both your voices. For this song, this boy-girl pairing got a little romantic, entangling arms and working the emotions more than anything else. When it came to the actual vocals, they were pretty evenly matched. So, to stay on the stacked Team Adam, it just came down to a matter of preference.
Who technically won the battle? Viktor Kiraly took the win for this one. He is more polished from his time as a Hungarian pop star, and that's not just easier to coach but it's easier to win with.
Who should have won the battle? Adam Levine made the right choice, not just for himself (he gels better with this type of singer) but for the betterment of the competition.
