The Voice introduced us to its final five contestants last week, and three promptly advanced to the knockout round.

That would include Paul Pfau and Nathan Hermida, who won battle round matches for Team Pharrell and Team Adam, respectively; and Hannah Kirby, who lost a brilliant Team Blake battle match with Sarah Potenza, but nabbed a spot on Team Pharrell in the process.

Below are links to profiles of all 48 contestants on Season 8 of The Voice, complete with information about pre-Voice music several of the contestants have released. The number in parenthesis is the number of chairs the contestant turned in the blind audition round.

The battle round continues Monday and Tuesday nights. Check back both evenings for live blogs.
