00:00:05All right, ready?
00:00:06I'm rolling, baby.
00:00:07In action.
00:00:07In action.
00:00:10Where is he?
00:00:11I love you, CeeLo Green.
00:00:16Welcome home, honey.
00:00:17The mega mentor in the knockouts for Team Adam and Team Legend is the OG original coach
00:00:21of The Voice, CeeLo Green.
00:00:23Come to me.
00:00:23He's got wisdom.
00:00:24Pearls of wisdom.
00:00:25I got to work with Michael Bublé, whom I love.
00:00:28Do you need a cape?
00:00:30Mega mentor?
00:00:31I feel very powerful right now.
00:00:33I am so excited for the knockouts.
00:00:35Let's go!
00:00:36You're really seeing artists blossom.
00:00:38Oh my god!
00:00:40A trip to the semifinals is on the line.
00:00:43There's no steal and save.
00:00:44It's like Hunger Games.
00:00:46I actually love nothing about knockouts.
00:00:47I hate seeing people go home, man.
00:00:49If it's this hard for you, just think about how hard it is for me.
00:00:51No, that's horrible.
00:00:52This is horrible.
00:00:55This season, we're doing something we've never done before.
00:00:57Our first all-star showdown.
00:01:00Oh, wow.
00:01:01Suspenseful.
00:01:02Not only is CeeLo the mega mentor, but he's going to decide who the winner of our all-star
00:01:07showdown is.
00:01:09The lowdown on the showdown is...
00:01:14The knockouts start right now.
00:01:17I'm ready.
00:01:17Knockout.
00:01:18Get it?
00:01:19Knockout.
00:01:24Welcome back.
00:01:25It's so good to have you here.
00:01:26Thanks for having me.
00:01:27Great to be here.
00:01:28Mr. CeeLo Green.
00:01:29I've been a fan of him for decades now, and I'm just so happy he's here.
00:01:33I think our relationship hits back about 20-plus years.
00:01:37Yeah.
00:01:38Remembering how you used to do it.
00:01:39He knows how coaching is supposed to be done on this show.
00:01:41So good to have you, sir.
00:01:43Thanks for having me.
00:01:43You know, you guys started something that's been around now for 29 seasons.
00:01:48Some great time that comes through here.
00:01:49Absolutely.
00:01:50Feels really good.
00:01:51It feels strange and wonderful.
00:01:52Strange and wonderful.
00:01:54I love that.
00:01:55And we're going to have some fun with these artists.
00:01:57I'm killing it right now.
00:01:58Nah, I have more finesse when I do it.
00:02:00Lucas and Moses, I feel like they both kind of have a similar thread of, like, soulfulness.
00:02:06I got one steal from Team Adam.
00:02:08Oh!
00:02:09We got a steal!
00:02:11Moses, certain people just have a light.
00:02:12So I was like, I can't let him go home.
00:02:14And then Lucas, his specialty is doing those great pop, piano, singer, songwriters.
00:02:20I love him either.
00:02:21Let's do it.
00:02:23Hello, gentlemen.
00:02:24Oh!
00:02:25Oh!
00:02:26You see that?
00:02:27Stop playing with him!
00:02:27You see that reaction?
00:02:29Stop it!
00:02:30We got a mega mentor!
00:02:31One of our OGs!
00:02:33When I walked in and saw CeeLo Green, I lost it!
00:02:37I'm so lucky to have even shared space in orbit with this guy.
00:02:40I have to tell you, this is a full-circle moment where you did Selma Glory.
00:02:45Uh-huh.
00:02:45You did a tri-state area run, and I was contracted as one of the singers.
00:02:49Oh, amazing!
00:02:50About 10 years ago, I had the opportunity to sing Backbone for John Legend for his promo for the song
00:02:56Glory from the movie Selma.
00:02:57I always wondered what that would be like to work more closely with him.
00:03:00This opportunity to work with him is like a dream come true.
00:03:02I'm glad you got to sing with me then, and then Lucas.
00:03:06I'm so glad you're here in the knockouts.
00:03:07We're going to have a lot of fun.
00:03:08My pleasure to be here.
00:03:09I'm going to meet you both, man.
00:03:10So, what have you chosen?
00:03:12I'm singing Let's Get It On by one of the kings of Soul, Marvin Gaye.
00:03:17Marvin meant a lot to me.
00:03:19I'm excited to hear you cover this song.
00:03:21Growing up in my household, the only music that was allowed was gospel music.
00:03:26I have vivid memories of hearing this song outside of my window in Harlem.
00:03:31This song is one of the most iconic songs from that first...
00:03:35Everybody knows what comes next.
00:03:37I've been really trying, baby.
00:03:40I'm like, see the whole way.
00:03:42Trying to hold back...
00:03:43Moses has gotten better each time I've heard him.
00:03:46So long.
00:03:48And if you feel...
00:03:50He's delivering it with passion and electricity, all the things you want.
00:03:56Yeah!
00:03:57Hey, he sang that song.
00:03:59So, brother, it sounded like you were inspired by a couple of the live renditions of Let's Get It On.
00:04:05Yeah.
00:04:06That's my wheelhouse.
00:04:07He was singing along the whole time.
00:04:08Yeah, yeah.
00:04:09Now, think about how to command the stage with your physical energy.
00:04:16Right now, it feels like you're a little frenetic.
00:04:19Okay.
00:04:19You got to be that bridge between both versions of Marvin.
00:04:22Yeah.
00:04:23Even that recording, it sounded like it was live and in the moment.
00:04:25But you can compose yourself because it may be a bit much when it's the only song that you're going
00:04:30to sing.
00:04:31But then, by the end, you're begging.
00:04:33So, it's like, let it build to that.
00:04:35That last, come on, get on your knees.
00:04:37Ah, come on, come on.
00:04:39I don't want to get it on.
00:04:41Yeah.
00:04:42Yeah.
00:04:42Yeah.
00:04:42Yeah.
00:04:43Go for it.
00:04:43That's the first rule, man.
00:04:44Don't show no shine.
00:04:47Give us a journey physically because you're, I think, vocally giving us a great journey.
00:04:51Awesome.
00:04:52That means so much.
00:04:53Thank you, John.
00:04:53Being here in the Knockouts really feels like I've made it far.
00:04:57No more steals.
00:04:58No more saves.
00:04:59It's winter go home.
00:05:00Lucas, I love that the keyboard is back out.
00:05:03What are you doing?
00:05:03I'm doing New York State of Mind by Billy Joel.
00:05:06Come on.
00:05:08The song's about how Billy was super nostalgic about New York because he lived in L.A. for three years
00:05:13and he was really homesick singing New York State of Mind.
00:05:16It really kind of helps me cure that homesickness I'm feeling right now.
00:05:20I miss my buddies.
00:05:21I miss my dog and my sister.
00:05:23I actually took a gap semester from college to be here, so I feel like that really dials up the
00:05:27pressure.
00:05:28I want to prove to John that I'm the guy you want for the top nine.
00:05:33All right, let's hear it.
00:05:35Some folks like to get away, take a holiday from the neighborhood.
00:05:41Come on.
00:05:42Lucas had beautiful choices, beautiful runs.
00:05:46Yeah.
00:05:47He's really soulful.
00:05:48And that piano playing.
00:05:49See?
00:05:50Oh.
00:05:50I love the unassuminess.
00:05:52That's the charm of the voice.
00:05:54You just have to be open, optimistic, and ready for your miracle.
00:05:57And that's the way I've received him today.
00:05:58I was like, okay, this is a good one.
00:06:03Playing that thing.
00:06:04All right.
00:06:04Woo!
00:06:06Wow.
00:06:07That's so much fun.
00:06:08He's doing all this work on the keys because you have so much style as a vocalist.
00:06:11I want you to be able to have that same intentionality vocally while you're playing.
00:06:16But maybe some moments have a little more tenderness.
00:06:18I agree with you because the virtuosity, it's almost like you don't even have to think about
00:06:22playing the piano.
00:06:23That's your strong suit.
00:06:24Billy Joel is one of my all-time favorites.
00:06:27But I noticed when he performs, he's not really playing to the crowd.
00:06:30So I don't know if you could maybe lose yourself in that sum.
00:06:34You can really close your eyes and just sing that record like, oh, take that.
00:06:38Give me some of that rough around there, that New York under the street like doo-wop type.
00:06:42I got to bring it out.
00:06:43Yeah, man.
00:06:45Come on up, Moses.
00:06:46Lucas has incredible skills.
00:06:48I'm shook.
00:06:49And I feel even more urgency to bring my A game.
00:06:52I have messages for you guys.
00:06:54Yo.
00:06:55I'm looking at CeeLo's jacket.
00:06:56I'm like, what's in all those pockets, man?
00:06:58How many pockets you got on that thing?
00:07:00Pockets for everybody.
00:07:03It's going to be really hard to decide between them because they're both like right in that
00:07:07same level of quality and beauty and skill.
00:07:13Every act of creation is first an act of destruction.
00:07:17All right, now.
00:07:17What do we got, Lucas?
00:07:19Art is a lie that makes us realize truth.
00:07:21All right.
00:07:22Moses, since you're new to Team Legend, you also get another gift.
00:07:24Oh, like my jacket?
00:07:25Yeah.
00:07:26I'm happy I don't have to do it.
00:07:27Oh, man.
00:07:28I'm happy I'm helping you be able to do it a little bit better.
00:07:32Yes.
00:07:32But yeah, I know that it's difficult.
00:07:34This is the hardest part.
00:07:35Yeah.
00:07:36And you can't fake it.
00:07:37Yeah.
00:07:38They're going to make it hard for me.
00:07:41Let's go!
00:07:43Lucas!
00:07:44I love him.
00:07:45He's great.
00:07:46I love Moses, too.
00:07:46This is going to be very close.
00:07:48I don't know what I'm going to do yet.
00:07:50Oh, no.
00:07:51Go, Moses!
00:07:52Now singing Let's Get It On, here's Moses G.
00:08:02I've been really trying, baby.
00:08:07Trying to hold back this feeling for so long.
00:08:13And if you feel like I feel, baby, then come on.
00:08:20Oh, come on.
00:08:22Yeah!
00:08:23Let's get it on.
00:08:26Oh, baby.
00:08:28Let's get it on.
00:08:30Oh, baby.
00:08:33Oh, there's nothing wrong with me loving you.
00:08:42Na-na-na-na-na-na.
00:08:45Hey!
00:08:47And giving yourself to me could never be wrong if the love is true.
00:08:54Oh, baby.
00:08:56Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:08:57Hey!
00:08:58Yeah!
00:08:58Don't you know how sweet and wonderful your life can be?
00:09:06Hey!
00:09:07Oh, baby.
00:09:14Oh, baby.
00:09:14I've been in some importance.
00:09:15Let me love you, baby.
00:09:17Oh, baby.
00:09:19Oh, baby.
00:09:21And ì•„-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na.
00:09:36Baby, I want to get it on
00:09:39So you don't have to worry
00:09:41That it's wrong
00:09:44If the spirit moves you
00:09:46Let me groove you
00:09:47Let your love come down
00:09:50If you believe in love
00:09:56Let's get it on
00:10:13Yeah, Moses
00:10:14Go, Moses
00:10:16It's Piano Man time
00:10:22With New York State of mind
00:10:23Here's Lucas West
00:10:25Lucas
00:10:38Some folks like to get away
00:10:41Take a holiday from the neighborhood
00:10:46Have a ride to Miami Beach
00:10:48Or to Hollywood
00:10:53But I'm taking a Greyhound
00:10:56On a Hudson River line
00:11:02I'm in a New York state of mind
00:11:12It was so easy
00:11:15Living day by day
00:11:20Out of touch with the rhythm
00:11:23And the blues
00:11:28But now I need a little gift
00:11:32And the New York Times
00:11:39The Daily News
00:11:44It comes down to reality
00:11:46And it's fine with me
00:11:49Cause I've let it slide
00:11:50I don't care if it's trying to time
00:11:54I want to be beside
00:11:59But I don't have any reasons
00:12:02I've left them all behind
00:12:08Okay
00:12:09Any complaint?
00:12:11Cause I'm in a New York state of time
00:12:22Oh
00:12:32That's bad
00:12:36No, he's good
00:12:37That's bad
00:12:43He makes me so happy
00:12:46Moses
00:12:47Moses, Moses
00:12:47You cannot do that song
00:12:49Unless you do exactly what you just did
00:12:51You committed, sir
00:12:52That's right, that's right
00:12:53Heard your words in my mind when I did it
00:12:56I cannot move the way you were moving on that
00:12:58You got moves like Jagger
00:13:01Ayyy
00:13:03Ayyy
00:13:03Ayyy
00:13:03Ayyy
00:13:04Lucas
00:13:05You were not on my team
00:13:06And I'm still mad about it
00:13:08Stay mad, kid
00:13:09Stay mad
00:13:11You just keep getting better and better, dude
00:13:12I mean, this dude really plays
00:13:14That keyboard is not a prop
00:13:15And I love that about you, too
00:13:17Thank you so much, man
00:13:18Thank you
00:13:20Moses, you make me so happy
00:13:22I found myself smiling
00:13:23My face hurt
00:13:25Thank you
00:13:25I love it
00:13:26Your arms open
00:13:27And you're dancing
00:13:27You're lost in it
00:13:28You just love it
00:13:29Lucas
00:13:30Billy Joel
00:13:31If he sees this
00:13:32Like, you just made him proud
00:13:33That was insane
00:13:36You have to be able to say
00:13:38I'm gonna challenge myself
00:13:38Because I feel like
00:13:39I am worthy of it
00:13:41And I think you need that kind of confidence
00:13:42And attitude to move forward
00:13:43So I would lean a bit more towards Lucas
00:13:45Thank you so much, Kevin
00:13:47Thank you, coaches
00:13:49All right, John
00:13:50Tough decision
00:13:50What'd you think of it?
00:13:51Oh, I was so impressed
00:13:53With both of your performances
00:13:55Moses
00:13:55You really have such a beautiful energy
00:13:58You just radiate light
00:14:00And positive energy
00:14:02And that's what people want to feel
00:14:04And want to see
00:14:05Lucas
00:14:05I feel like we saw new things from you vocally today
00:14:09It was really, like, revelatory
00:14:11And to be able to play the piano
00:14:14And then sing as well as you did today
00:14:16Is just incredibly impressive
00:14:19Thank you so much, John
00:14:20John
00:14:21Tough knockout
00:14:22Who is the winner?
00:14:24This was very close
00:14:25I think both of you are phenomenal
00:14:27And it's been a joy working with both of you
00:14:30The winner of this knockout
00:14:41Welcome back to the knockout's premiere
00:14:44John, who is the winner of this knockout?
00:14:47The winner of this knockout is Lucas
00:14:50Lucas, congratulations!
00:14:52At this point, everybody's so good
00:14:54So only talented artists are going to go home
00:14:57It's the conundrum of making decisions
00:14:59When the competition is so good
00:15:01We killed it
00:15:02Lucas just had just enough of that extra
00:15:04That I needed
00:15:06To know that he belonged in the semifinal
00:15:08It's really nice to hear from John
00:15:10Hearing your hero tell you that
00:15:12They believe in you
00:15:13And 100% is, like, the craziest thing, you know
00:15:15I want to call my mom
00:15:17Yo, Lucas
00:15:18He's the truth
00:15:19He might win
00:15:25This is my first time in this position
00:15:27You know that
00:15:28Oh, yeah?
00:15:28Yeah
00:15:29Do you need a cape?
00:15:30Mega Mentor?
00:15:31I feel very powerful right now
00:15:33I mean, Michael Bublé's a nice name
00:15:35But doesn't quite have the same ring as
00:15:38Mega Mentor
00:15:43Mega Mentor
00:15:44You're so special
00:15:46So it's Battle of Champions
00:15:48So what I thought I'd do is
00:15:50I would bring in
00:15:51The greatest Mega Mentor
00:15:53I could think of
00:15:54I love my Bublé
00:15:55You're so good at this show
00:15:57You win a lot
00:15:58I love it
00:15:58Just like you
00:15:59Yeah
00:15:59I was built for doing this
00:16:01It is fun
00:16:02If I could be a small part of
00:16:03Helping these artists to grow
00:16:05There's a lot of goodness that comes on
00:16:07All right
00:16:08So up first are my country dudes
00:16:10Who I love
00:16:10Oh, yeah
00:16:11This was my first time to really get to work with them
00:16:13And they're both very different
00:16:14All right
00:16:16I put the country boys together
00:16:18She didn't know what she was getting into
00:16:19Kelly paired me with J.W. Griffin
00:16:21And J.W. is one of my best buddies
00:16:23And I was like, crud
00:16:25We should do like Scooby-Doo
00:16:27When we walk
00:16:30Let's bring him in
00:16:32Dude, you guys are so handsome
00:16:34What's up?
00:16:34What's up?
00:16:35I'm Michael Bublé
00:16:36And it's nice to meet you
00:16:37Houston
00:16:37I love Michael Bublé
00:16:38He's got five Grammys
00:16:39That's a huge deal
00:16:41At any level of artistry
00:16:42I was kind of starstruck
00:16:44J.W.
00:16:45He's won two times
00:16:47He's a champion
00:16:47It's cool to see another coach
00:16:49That has a history of winning
00:16:51And to get to work with them
00:16:52I'm really, like, sorry once again
00:16:55This is our first time to technically
00:16:57We get to work together
00:16:58Be gentle with us, please
00:17:00Just so you know
00:17:01There's no steal and save
00:17:02Oh, that's hard
00:17:03That's really hard
00:17:04Yes
00:17:05And this is
00:17:05Y'all pick the song
00:17:06We really want to push you
00:17:07To make this song competitive
00:17:09Because it's really cutthroat
00:17:10It goes from six to three
00:17:11It's like Hunger Games
00:17:13All right, who's starting?
00:17:14Okay, who's starting?
00:17:15Which one?
00:17:15I'll go first
00:17:16Okay
00:17:17This round, there's no saves
00:17:19And there's no steals
00:17:20So it's like we're in
00:17:21A big old pressure cooker
00:17:22And that stinks
00:17:23But that's the way competition goes
00:17:25Why'd you pick this song?
00:17:27I look up to Luke Combs a lot
00:17:29A great voice
00:17:30For the knockout round
00:17:31I picked
00:17:32Love You Anyway
00:17:33By Luke Combs
00:17:33I guess it was 2025
00:17:35And he was like
00:17:36Hey, listen
00:17:36I got two young boys at home
00:17:37I'm not going to be on tour
00:17:38All the time
00:17:39I want to be there
00:17:40To watch them grow up
00:17:40A lot of how Luke
00:17:42Tends to be with his family
00:17:44I see that
00:17:44And how my dad was
00:17:45With me growing up
00:17:46And that means a lot
00:17:46I guess the first intro
00:17:48To country music for me
00:17:49Was listening to the
00:17:50Alabama's greatest hit CD
00:17:51In my dad's truck
00:17:52That was where I started
00:17:54Realizing that singing
00:17:54Could be fun
00:17:55I'm at school right now
00:17:57Because eventually
00:17:58I want to be a husband
00:17:59And I want to be a dad
00:18:00And I know that if music
00:18:01Doesn't have the ability
00:18:02To pay the bills
00:18:03Getting my degree
00:18:04Is my ultimate backup plan
00:18:06This ag building
00:18:07That I'm writing
00:18:08Next to
00:18:09Has taught me so much
00:18:10I'm currently studying
00:18:11Agricultural business
00:18:12It's a little bit looser
00:18:13Than a regular
00:18:14Strict business degree
00:18:16Because every once in a while
00:18:17I'll wear my overalls
00:18:17To class
00:18:18I love it
00:18:20It's been really cool
00:18:21But if I could perform
00:18:23And do music
00:18:23For the rest of my life
00:18:24As a job
00:18:25I don't think I'd work
00:18:26A day in my life
00:18:27And that sounds good to me
00:18:28I'm looking forward to this
00:18:29Let's do it
00:18:30All right
00:18:36Houston is this big beautiful voice country singer
00:18:40I think he could sing other stuff
00:18:41I think
00:18:41Oh yeah
00:18:42He could sing rhythm and blues
00:18:43He could sing rock
00:18:43He likes soulful
00:18:44And so young
00:18:4520
00:18:4620 years old
00:18:46I love you anyway
00:18:50I love this song
00:18:52What a beautiful mess
00:18:54Sad but beautiful
00:18:56Lyrically
00:18:57It's deep and rich
00:18:58But don't forget to give me what the words are
00:19:02Like enunciate a little bit
00:19:04Yeah
00:19:04Enunciate for us
00:19:05Tell the story to them
00:19:07Millions and millions of people watching you
00:19:09And that is an intimate relationship
00:19:11That you're allowed to have
00:19:12You're letting them in
00:19:12Yeah
00:19:13Message wise
00:19:14This is kind of a beautiful turn for you
00:19:17Be tender man
00:19:18Even if I knew
00:19:20That might be a really cool time
00:19:21For your really beautiful falsetto
00:19:23Do it
00:19:24Right now
00:19:24Even if I knew
00:19:26The day we met you'd be
00:19:28The reason this heart breaks
00:19:32Dude
00:19:33Dude
00:19:34Come on
00:19:35Okay
00:19:36Please
00:19:36God
00:19:37That is stronger than the biggest note you could do
00:19:40Okay
00:19:41The audience is going to yell you know
00:19:42When you do that
00:19:43All right
00:19:44Come on J-Dubs
00:19:45All right
00:19:45I feel like it's nerve wracking going against Houston
00:19:48He's got a classic country voice
00:19:50And it's really easy to connect with
00:19:52Tear it up man
00:19:53For the knockouts I picked
00:19:54If it hadn't been for love by the steel drivers
00:19:57This kind of song can let me show out a little more of my soulfulness
00:20:01That I haven't really been able to do yet
00:20:04I love it
00:20:07I just love the sounds and the song has a bluegrass flair
00:20:11It's in the country genre
00:20:12I think there's always going to be country roots behind everything I do
00:20:16Just because my accent and the way I talk
00:20:18I like country music the most because it represents kind of what it feels like
00:20:25To be from South Georgia
00:20:26And now it's just like I'm thousands of miles away
00:20:30I've given up a lot of time to be here at work
00:20:33I've missed a while now
00:20:36I miss the bread a lot
00:20:37But I've been eating a lot of bread out here too
00:20:42The feeling of being able to perform and people enjoying it
00:20:45That's what I'm here for
00:20:47I'm not ready for it to end
00:20:48Well, let's hear it
00:20:51Never would have hitched back to Birmingham
00:20:54If it hadn't been for love
00:20:57For me, JW is a country star
00:20:59I love his quick vibrato
00:21:01His tone, just stylistically
00:21:02I just dug what he was doing
00:21:04If it hadn't been
00:21:06He just has this undeniable voice
00:21:09He's one of those classic storytellers
00:21:12For love
00:21:15Nice
00:21:16Man, your voice is so cool
00:21:19Thank you
00:21:19Like, it's so effortless
00:21:21My thing I would suggest, just because of the competition
00:21:24If you're singing this at a show, do it exactly how you did it
00:21:26But if you're doing it on a competition stage
00:21:28It can get a little monotonous, right?
00:21:30That's the only thing I'm thinking
00:21:31That's what I've been trying to think of something to do
00:21:32Lift the tempo
00:21:33Turn it into a little more kind of rocking thing
00:21:36Yeah, yeah, instead of it just kind of chilling
00:21:38Yeah
00:21:39We gotta make this a competition song
00:21:41Yeah
00:21:41I think Kelly's the perfect coach for me
00:21:43Because she just has a great presence
00:21:45She's really warm
00:21:46But she also, like, knows what she wants
00:21:49I like it musically
00:21:50Not to stay the same
00:21:52Yeah, yeah, yeah
00:21:52She's a good leader
00:21:53Just to have some kind of, like, eh
00:21:54Yeah, rock it up a little bit
00:21:56Yeah, experiment with that
00:21:59JW, the dude's tone is insane
00:22:02I could listen to him sing a phone book and I'd be happy
00:22:06Yeah!
00:22:07Yeah!
00:22:08We took her to church
00:22:08It's so good!
00:22:09I think Kelly's team has true country threats
00:22:12Yeah
00:22:12That is a nice place to be
00:22:14Yeah
00:22:14I love both songs
00:22:15You couldn't be more different
00:22:17Representing different lanes in country music right now
00:22:19But yet, you both have this soulful grit to you that is so classic
00:22:23Thank you, Dan
00:22:23I love both of them
00:22:24They're both very different singers
00:22:26What are you gonna do?
00:22:27I don't know
00:22:27How are you gonna make decisions?
00:22:28You think we talk about this
00:22:29We think we know
00:22:30And then we get there the day of
00:22:32And you choose someone else
00:22:33It is for me in the moment
00:22:34Like, whoever does best in the moment
00:22:36That's what I'm going with
00:22:37Come on, J.W.
00:22:38Let me out!
00:22:39Oh, J.W.
00:22:40Woo!
00:22:41Let's go, baby!
00:22:42Now with If It Hadn't Been For Love
00:22:44Here is J.W. Griffin
00:22:54Never would've hitchhiked to Birmingham
00:22:56If it hadn't been for love
00:22:58I love him
00:22:59Woo!
00:23:00Never would've took the train to Louisiana
00:23:02If it hadn't been for love
00:23:05Never would've run through the blinding range
00:23:09Without one dollar to my name
00:23:12If it hadn't been
00:23:13If it hadn't been for love
00:23:16Yes!
00:23:18Never would've seen the trouble that I'm in
00:23:21If it hadn't been for love
00:23:24Would've been called like a wayward wind
00:23:28If it hadn't been for love
00:23:30Well, nobody knows it better than me
00:23:34I wouldn't be wishing I was free
00:23:37If it hadn't been, if it hadn't been for love
00:23:42Yeah!
00:23:43Four cold walls against my will
00:23:49At least I know she's alive and sweet
00:23:57Four cold walls without parole
00:24:04Lord, have mercy on my soul
00:24:11Well, never would've been to that side of town
00:24:14If it hadn't been for love
00:24:16Better see J.W.
00:24:18Never would've took him out the track
00:24:20Her down if it hadn't been for love
00:24:24Never would've loaded up my 44
00:24:27Putting myself behind the jailhouse door
00:24:30If it hadn't been, if it hadn't been for love
00:24:34If it hadn't been, if it hadn't been for love
00:24:53Yeah!
00:25:07Welcome back to The Knockouts at Universal Studios Hollywood
00:25:13Singing Love You Anyway, here's Huston Kelly
00:25:16Come on, Huston!
00:25:26If your kiss turned me to stone
00:25:32Okay
00:25:33I'd be a statue standing tall in ancient Rome
00:25:38God
00:25:40And if your touch shed me like glass
00:25:45I'd be in pieces trying to make the breaking last
00:25:53And if it took one look to turn my days to nights
00:26:00At least I'd have the stars to sparkle in your eyes
00:26:08There's just some things that leave a man of no choice
00:26:15Like a compass need or need and it's true, no
00:26:21Baby, if I knew the day we met you, babe
00:26:25The reason this heart breaks
00:26:29Oh, I'd love you anyway
00:26:51Nice!
00:27:01Oh, I'd love you anyway
00:27:11Oh, I love you anyway.
00:27:15Yeah!
00:27:16Beautiful!
00:27:17Great job!
00:27:19Beautiful job!
00:27:20All right.
00:27:24Awesome, you!
00:27:27You're so awesome, man.
00:27:29So good, man.
00:27:30Oh my gosh, you suck!
00:27:33Gentlemen, that was so well done by both of you.
00:27:36Houston, you had so much character and warmth in your delivery.
00:27:41I loved when you gave that little smile.
00:27:43You have the best smile.
00:27:44Something about it, you were like, I got there,
00:27:46I got to that end of that spot,
00:27:47and he gave a little smile, like...
00:27:50Yeah.
00:27:52J-Dub, you don't mind if I call you J-Dub?
00:27:56You can call me J-Dub, too.
00:27:58Your tone is so cool to me.
00:28:00I just really love that it's a little nasal
00:28:03in, like, the perfect way.
00:28:05It has a nice crackle to it.
00:28:07I could hear it on the radio.
00:28:08I would go with J-Dub.
00:28:11I want to start with you, Houston,
00:28:12because I think there's a sense of joy.
00:28:14You look, you know, to the left and look to the right,
00:28:16and it's almost like you're like,
00:28:17man, I'm here.
00:28:18I'm doing this.
00:28:19I just want to say thank you for reminding us
00:28:21about the fact that this all has to do with the joy of singing,
00:28:24and just excellent job.
00:28:27Thank you so much.
00:28:28Yeah.
00:28:29J-Dub, I feel sad.
00:28:32I thought maybe you were going to go with me in the beginning.
00:28:33I thought the same, Adam.
00:28:35I really felt like we had a connection.
00:28:36And yet.
00:28:36I was wrong.
00:28:37And yet.
00:28:38I am your fan.
00:28:39I am coming to your concert.
00:28:40I'm buying your T-shirt.
00:28:41I'll be in the front row.
00:28:43But you both did a great job.
00:28:44I'm proud of both of you guys.
00:28:46Thank you, coaches.
00:28:49Kelly, what a difficult decision.
00:28:50Give us some thoughts first, please.
00:28:52From rehearsals, you both did things that you did not want to do.
00:28:57All of a sudden, Houston did like this falsetto thing,
00:28:59and I was like, where the hell did that come from?
00:29:01I was like, wait, what?
00:29:02And he was like, oh, I don't do that on stage.
00:29:03I was like, get the hell ready.
00:29:07That was nice.
00:29:08And the same thing, like, JW, we changed your song.
00:29:12We were trying to make it competition worthy.
00:29:13You weren't afraid to do that, which I really love.
00:29:16And what that lets me know is that you're fearless,
00:29:18and that's the exciting thing about working with artists like you.
00:29:22Kelly, two great artists.
00:29:24But the time has come.
00:29:25Who is the winner of this knockout?
00:29:26You're both equally as gifted,
00:29:28but I thought one of you might be a little bit more ready
00:29:31for competition right now.
00:29:32The winner of this knockout is JW.
00:29:35JW!
00:29:37Houston versus JW was really hard.
00:29:40Thank you so much.
00:29:42JW was a little bit more comfortable,
00:29:44even in the in-between moments when he wasn't performing.
00:29:47It's pretty tough this season, because in the knockouts,
00:29:49usually there's a save, maybe a steal or something like that.
00:29:51There's nothing like that this season.
00:29:52It's the name of the game.
00:29:53It's a competition.
00:29:54I get it.
00:29:55But at that point, you know,
00:29:56you've worked with them a couple times
00:29:57to where you really get to know them,
00:29:58and it's even harder to see them go home.
00:30:01JW, he's just so good.
00:30:03I want to listen to him sing.
00:30:04It's that simple all day long.
00:30:08Look at...
00:30:09Where are the people I saw on the street today?
00:30:11Who said they were coming to The Voice?
00:30:13There you are.
00:30:15I was walking from school to my office,
00:30:18and they were like,
00:30:18we're going to see you at The Voice today.
00:30:20That happened to me one time in New York.
00:30:22I was walking home,
00:30:23and these women stopped me,
00:30:25and they were like,
00:30:25I'm coming to your show tomorrow.
00:30:26I was like, well, I'll see you again.
00:30:36Welcome back to The Voice,
00:30:38Battle of Champions.
00:30:42John, I'm signed this morning.
00:30:44Oh, my God, you're taking me back.
00:30:46Guys, you want to see my actual debut album?
00:30:49What do you mean your actual?
00:30:50This was before I had a record deal.
00:30:53Is this for real?
00:30:53This is before I was John Legend.
00:30:55Look at your baby face.
00:30:57I was still in college,
00:30:58and then after that I was like,
00:31:00I'm changing my style up.
00:31:02And your name.
00:31:02I used to sell it at my little shows
00:31:04in Philly and New York.
00:31:06I've grown up since then.
00:31:07Hey, John Stevens is cool.
00:31:10Bro, my name's Adam Levine.
00:31:11There's like 4,000 Adam Levines out there.
00:31:19It's my mega mentor, CeeLo Green.
00:31:21Hello, sir.
00:31:22How you doing?
00:31:22I'm great.
00:31:23It's good to see you.
00:31:23Good to see you.
00:31:25Welcome home, honey.
00:31:28Two OG voice coaches.
00:31:30So needed.
00:31:30So necessary.
00:31:31Yep.
00:31:32If I get a call from Adam,
00:31:33I make myself available.
00:31:35Man, thanks for having me back, bro.
00:31:37You know what I'm saying?
00:31:38I love you, man.
00:31:39You know I love you.
00:31:39I live to entertain people for,
00:31:41you know, fabulosity.
00:31:43So, wow.
00:31:44Yeah.
00:31:45You get it?
00:31:46That's what I'm here to do.
00:31:47You ready for this?
00:31:48I am not.
00:31:50Me neither.
00:31:51We're gonna do it!
00:31:52Hey!
00:31:54Hello!
00:31:55What's up?
00:31:57It was amazing to walk in and see CeeLo
00:32:00as the mega mentor.
00:32:01CeeLo, man.
00:32:02Great to meet you, bro.
00:32:03He's won Grammys.
00:32:05He was an OG voice coach with Adam.
00:32:08And he is cool as a cucumber.
00:32:11Let's do it ladies first in the grand tradition.
00:32:13No big deal.
00:32:14It's a little Whitney.
00:32:15Oh, yeah.
00:32:15No big deal at all.
00:32:17I am singing,
00:32:18You Give Good Love by Whitney Houston.
00:32:21Tell me about why you chose a song.
00:32:22Because her songs was some of the songs
00:32:24that my mom made me sing as a kid.
00:32:27It's just like a full circle moment.
00:32:28I believe my mom did see potential in me very early.
00:32:31When I was little,
00:32:33she used to put me in like different talent shows.
00:32:36She was like,
00:32:37Hey, if you win, we could go get a burger.
00:32:41Like, okay.
00:32:42That was what I was excited about.
00:32:46She paved the way for me musically.
00:32:48You did not give up.
00:32:50I am so proud of you.
00:32:51And so now I get to sing Whitney on a huge stage.
00:32:55I'm excited.
00:32:57Sing to us.
00:32:58Make Whitney proud.
00:32:59Come on, let's go.
00:33:00I know she will.
00:33:10Normally it's a bold move to do Whitney,
00:33:12but there is no singer that Whitney has been better hands with.
00:33:16Alexia is special.
00:33:18I think people are going to be blown away.
00:33:23I want to support it.
00:33:24It's a brave and bold move.
00:33:27And we need more of that type of energy.
00:33:29Yeah.
00:33:30A hundred percent.
00:33:31All right.
00:33:35All right.
00:33:37That was pretty good.
00:33:39Let me just begin by saying what a blessing to be able to hear true talent.
00:33:44It sounded unique.
00:33:45It sounded fresh.
00:33:46We don't hear this song often enough.
00:33:48This was her humble beginning.
00:33:50This one song introduced her to the whole world.
00:33:52Was this first?
00:33:53And she did it in one tape.
00:33:55Of course she did.
00:33:57Yeah.
00:33:57There's only one little thing I can tell you.
00:33:59Okay.
00:33:59When it first comes in.
00:34:01Uh-huh.
00:34:02Settle.
00:34:03Yeah.
00:34:03The edit doesn't give you the opportunity to slip down into it.
00:34:06Because, you know, how she opens up the record.
00:34:10Yeah.
00:34:11I wish you could do that because I love that part.
00:34:12I know.
00:34:13Yeah.
00:34:14That's the thing.
00:34:14It does kind of, it throws you in it.
00:34:16So just use all the space so you can really settle in.
00:34:21I can do that.
00:34:22You're done.
00:34:22Alexia, she's just a powerhouse vocalist.
00:34:25That's definitely the most nerve-wracking thing.
00:34:27All right.
00:34:28I love the song choice.
00:34:29I love that he chose Wallflowers, One Headlight, an anthem song everybody wants to sing when it comes on.
00:34:34I love Jacob Dillon, I love the Wallflowers.
00:34:37I like the fact that he was very singer-songwriter, but it's also rock and roll.
00:34:41Hell yeah.
00:34:41This song is about figuring out life's toughest moments while trying to hold on.
00:34:45I do know what it feels like to hold on tight to my dreams through hard times.
00:34:50Nothing could have prepared me for how difficult and competitive Nashville is.
00:34:55There it is.
00:34:56It's tough.
00:34:57When you're first there, you don't know a lot of people, you don't have a lot of work.
00:35:01Six months after I moved to Nashville, you know, I was broke.
00:35:04But, you know, I just kept at it.
00:35:07I got my first cut as a songwriter.
00:35:09It proved that I can hang.
00:35:11Now, to be here in the knockouts, no more steals, no more saves.
00:35:15It's definitely getting real.
00:35:17You gotta win or go home.
00:35:18I love the choice.
00:35:19Let's do it.
00:35:20I feel just like somebody else.
00:35:23Man, I hate change.
00:35:25But I know I ain't the same.
00:35:27Man, Bae's been the big surprise coming late in the game.
00:35:29I love his voice.
00:35:32He looks good.
00:35:34Sounds good.
00:35:35Pulls it all off.
00:35:36It's a complete and total cool.
00:35:39I can tell in the way you sing that you have a really great understanding of rock and roll music.
00:35:44Do you have a quintessential cool about you?
00:35:47I think the hardest part for me was when you get to that high point in the song, to not
00:35:51overdo it.
00:35:52I mean, sit right in the pocket.
00:35:54Yeah.
00:35:54Just a bit.
00:35:55You know what I mean?
00:35:55Yeah.
00:35:57Wait, I'm starting to get in.
00:35:59Oh.
00:36:01I'm starting to get in.
00:36:03Oh, I think he's got.
00:36:05I've got fortunes.
00:36:06I've got messages.
00:36:08Let me give you something.
00:36:10I did not know CeeLo was a fortune teller.
00:36:13That came as a surprise.
00:36:14For you, sir.
00:36:18And...
00:36:19I love that one.
00:36:23What did they say?
00:36:23Art is what you can get away with.
00:36:26I love that.
00:36:27That's good.
00:36:27I invent nothing.
00:36:28I rediscover.
00:36:30That's right.
00:36:30That's cool.
00:36:31That's pretty perfect, actually, when I think about it.
00:36:34I hate these decisions, but this one's going to be especially tough.
00:36:37Amazing, you guys.
00:36:38Dude, you got it aced.
00:36:40I want to give it to you early.
00:36:41How you feel about that other scene?
00:36:42Let's see.
00:36:44Legend.
00:36:44I love the guy.
00:36:45I'm biased to the guy.
00:36:46He's my dude, man.
00:36:47Of course he's biased.
00:36:48We started this.
00:36:50Yeah.
00:36:55Look at yourself.
00:36:57Get ready for this, y'all.
00:36:59I love her!
00:37:01Yeah!
00:37:02With You Give Good Love, here's Alexia Jay.
00:37:14I found out what I've been missing.
00:37:19Oh, my God.
00:37:20I'm always on the run.
00:37:25Got it.
00:37:26I've been looking for someone.
00:37:33Yes.
00:37:35Ooh, that you give good love to me, baby.
00:37:41So good.
00:37:43Take this heart of mine into your hand.
00:37:47You give good love to me, never too much.
00:37:59Baby, you give good love.
00:38:07Love is good.
00:38:09Because I'm playing.
00:38:13I love you.
00:38:14Oh, my God.
00:38:22I love you.
00:38:24I love you.
00:38:24I love you.
00:38:25I love you.
00:38:27I love you.
00:38:29You give good love.
00:38:34Baby, it's so good to take this heart of mine
00:38:40You give good love to me
00:38:46Love to my heart
00:38:53Baby, you give good love
00:38:58Oh, no, no, baby, you give good love
00:39:06Baby, you give good love
00:39:16Yeah!
00:39:18She's so warm.
00:39:20Yes.
00:39:21Beautiful.
00:39:22Jeez.
00:39:23Sing, Lexi.
00:39:24Sing, girl.
00:39:25She's so cool.
00:39:26Yeah.
00:39:36Welcome back to The Knockouts.
00:39:42Now with one headlight, here's Bay Simpson.
00:39:50Let's go, Bay!
00:39:52So long ago, I don't remember when
00:39:56That's when they say I lost my only friend
00:39:59They say she got easier from broken heart disease
00:40:05As I listen to the cemetery trees
00:40:18Come on, child, nothing is forever
00:40:23There's got to be something better than in the middle
00:40:27It's me and sit around and put it all together
00:40:31We can drive it home
00:40:36With one headlight
00:40:45I'm so old
00:40:47And I feel just like somebody else
00:40:50Man, I ain't changed
00:40:52But I know I ain't the same
00:41:22Somewhere here in between these city walls
00:41:24We'll put it all together
00:41:26We can drive it home
00:41:28We'll walk it home
00:41:37We'll walk it home
00:41:45We'll walk it home
00:41:46Yeah!
00:41:51Yeah.
00:41:55Congratulations, both of you.
00:41:56Bae, I'm gonna start with you.
00:41:57I love that song so much.
00:41:59Took me back.
00:41:59I love that music does that.
00:42:00Music and smells have so much nostalgia tied to them.
00:42:04You're so understated.
00:42:06Like you're so cool because you don't try to be cool.
00:42:11Alexia, you are literally so good.
00:42:15It is like if Whitney Houston
00:42:18and Lauryn Hill's voices had a baby.
00:42:22I wanna say that I've hugged you.
00:42:24I wanna say that I knew you before.
00:42:26Like, you're so good.
00:42:30I just wanna remember this moment
00:42:33for when you were at the Grammys one day
00:42:34and I'm like, I know her.
00:42:37I'm like, oh my gosh, it's so good.
00:42:39Oh, I love it.
00:42:41Like, look, at this point,
00:42:43I obviously would go with Alexia.
00:42:44Who would you pick?
00:42:47It's a mystery.
00:42:50Bae, there is this cool factor.
00:42:52I talked about you being weird in the last round.
00:42:55A good weird.
00:42:56A good weird.
00:42:57Music is really in you.
00:43:00And it's super cool and weird in all the right ways.
00:43:03Thank you so much.
00:43:04And Alexia, the Lauryn Hill comment really works for me.
00:43:08There's something about that vibe.
00:43:11It's got grit, you know, soulfulness.
00:43:14And I love the style too.
00:43:16You're giving a little Chaka Khan energy today.
00:43:19Yeah.
00:43:19The choices you're making, it's just all working.
00:43:22Thank you, coaches.
00:43:24All right, Adam.
00:43:25What did you think about the knockout?
00:43:26You're both so comfortable in your own skin as far as who you are.
00:43:29Bae, there's been something special about you from the first moment I heard you sing.
00:43:32And you don't have to have a voice like Alexia's to be someone who is equally viable as an artist.
00:43:37I don't have a voice like Alexia's.
00:43:39You were incredible today.
00:43:42And Alexia, it's a shame that these two coaches didn't like what you did up there to me.
00:43:48I got to go see Lauryn, I think, like, 98, you know, Miss Education Tour.
00:43:53I played on that album, you know.
00:43:54Shut up, both of you.
00:43:55No way.
00:43:55I feel like I knew that.
00:43:57Oh, my God, that's amazing.
00:43:59She is magic.
00:44:00And you are so unique in that way where you can make us feel.
00:44:04You're both fantastic.
00:44:06All right, Adam.
00:44:07Who is the winner of this knockout?
00:44:12I love you both.
00:44:15The winner of this knockout is Alexia.
00:44:20Alexia!
00:44:21There are no saves, no steals.
00:44:22And I don't like that.
00:44:24She's crazy.
00:44:26I had to go with Alexia because she has one of the best voices I've ever heard in my life.
00:44:30Amazing.
00:44:31Alexia has that rare ability to sing anything.
00:44:34I think she could win this entire competition very easily.
00:44:37I heard that CeeLo came with a lot of zippers, too.
00:44:39Did you all talk to each other?
00:44:40Maybe he influenced me.
00:44:41Oh.
00:44:41Now I'm zipped up.
00:44:42You're inspired.
00:44:43Zippers galore.
00:44:44Yeah, but not even close to as many.
00:44:45He had pockets everywhere.
00:44:46What is he hiding in his pockets?
00:44:48I want to know.
00:44:49People's fortunes.
00:44:50He had the fortune cookie messages in each pocket.
00:44:51Would he open different pockets?
00:44:53Yes, he opened different pockets.
00:44:54Oh.
00:44:54CeeLo's a wizard.
00:44:56I'm a wizard.
00:44:57He's a wild man.
00:44:57You're a wizard, Harry.
00:45:06Welcome back to the Knockouts premiere.
00:45:11When did I see you last?
00:45:12It was on my show.
00:45:13It was on my show.
00:45:14I hosted your show.
00:45:14Yep.
00:45:15Oh, good.
00:45:15We're back.
00:45:16All right.
00:45:16Okay, so next up is Abigail and Liv.
00:45:19Okay.
00:45:20Abigail has this really cool singer-songwriter, special kind of thing with her voice.
00:45:24Liv kind of reminds me of young Mariah.
00:45:26This whole journey has been insane.
00:45:28The battle, it was the most crazy moment of my life.
00:45:31Coach, let me remind you that Liv's available to steal.
00:45:34Whoa, immediately!
00:45:35We got a steal!
00:45:36What do you mean?
00:45:38Oh!
00:45:38Oh, no!
00:45:39When Kelly pressed her super steal, it was such a crazy moment.
00:45:42And one thing I'm gonna make sure is to not let Kelly down.
00:45:46What's up?
00:45:47Oh, my gosh!
00:45:48Walking in to see Michael Buble as the mega mentor was absolutely insane.
00:45:53Michael's won Grammys, two seasons of The Voice.
00:45:56He's an amazing recording artist.
00:45:58Like, he puts his own spin on things.
00:46:00All right, who's gonna start?
00:46:02Abigail?
00:46:02Okay.
00:46:03I'm singing Feather by Sabrina Carpenter.
00:46:05I love a song about letting go.
00:46:07As someone who's in their head a lot to sing about, I feel light as a feather.
00:46:11Let's hear it.
00:46:11Life is so much lighter like a feather with you off my mind.
00:46:16I love Abigail, of course.
00:46:18I think she has such a sweet, lovely tone.
00:46:21It's really angelic.
00:46:22Like a kid, you fit every stereotype send a pic.
00:46:27She was great.
00:46:28Really great dance.
00:46:29She's good at flipping songs.
00:46:30This song is about letting go of someone who doesn't serve you anymore.
00:46:35I've had my fair share of breakups, but ultimately you get to exactly who you want to be with.
00:46:41When I met Tom, we were both still in college.
00:46:44He's the best.
00:46:45He's a musician as well.
00:46:46Tom is my biggest supporter.
00:46:49It was really effortless.
00:46:50Like two feathers floating together.
00:46:56It's like so angelic.
00:46:58You seemed shy at first in the blinds and I'm like, oh, you're a little punk rock.
00:47:02Like you got a little sass in there and I love that.
00:47:04You're like a cross between Joni Mitchell and Melanie Martinez.
00:47:08Oh, yeah.
00:47:09You're very unique.
00:47:10If I'm you, I lean into the quirkiness.
00:47:13This is your song now.
00:47:14You have this really cool spark about you that I really want to pull out.
00:47:18Can you play that chorus?
00:47:19I feel so much lighter like a feather with you off my mind.
00:47:23You're on The Voice singing with Kelly Clarkson right now.
00:47:25You just want to pinch yourself.
00:47:27This is the best show I've ever seen.
00:47:29It makes you act like a kid.
00:47:32You fit every stereotype.
00:47:35Send a pic.
00:47:37Yeah, since they're going quiet, you can make that little sexy sound that you're making.
00:47:41Like, send a pic.
00:47:43To have that little pause right there because your little sass on it is such great sauce.
00:47:48I love it.
00:47:48As an artist, Abigail is so unique.
00:47:51The control is insane.
00:47:53She's just so amazing and I'm so glad I get to hear her and work with her.
00:47:56Hey, Liv.
00:47:57Hi.
00:47:57Hey.
00:47:59Can I ask you something stupid?
00:48:01Of course.
00:48:01We didn't work together.
00:48:03We didn't work together, but I did audition last season and I didn't get a chair turn.
00:48:07I was the one who had the connection with, like, the suckers.
00:48:11Of course.
00:48:11And I ate the sucker.
00:48:12Was it good?
00:48:13Yes.
00:48:13You got a gift and everything?
00:48:14You're such an ass.
00:48:15I'm an idiot.
00:48:16For a competition, this is an interesting song to pick.
00:48:20Obviously, I'm a fan of it.
00:48:22I will be singing Breakaway by Kelly Clarkson.
00:48:24I will say, this was not one of my favorites to record, but it's one of my favorites to perform
00:48:29live.
00:48:30Yeah.
00:48:30Because it touches so many people.
00:48:32Yeah.
00:48:32Are we going to shake it up a little bit?
00:48:34Yeah.
00:48:34So, obviously, I have so much respect for the original arrangement.
00:48:37It's amazing.
00:48:38Oh, throw the OG out.
00:48:39Let's do something.
00:48:41Grew up in a small town, and when the rain would fall down.
00:48:45Liv has a beautiful voice.
00:48:47She has great control.
00:48:48It seems pretty effortless for her.
00:48:50I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly.
00:48:54And if she's this good at 16, I can't even imagine what this girl is going to sound like when
00:48:59she's 18, 19, 20.
00:49:00I mean, already great.
00:49:02Yeah.
00:49:05You have such a good voice.
00:49:07This song could be yours now.
00:49:08I just want you to tell me that you're really going to be as genuine and honest as you can
00:49:13be.
00:49:13Present, yeah.
00:49:14It's a gorgeous song, and if this message really does mean something to you, it'll serve you well.
00:49:19Knowing that this round we get to pick our songs, it's kind of a breath of relief because this is
00:49:23the song that I feel represents me the most.
00:49:26This song is about stepping out of your comfort zone, pursuing your dreams.
00:49:30I grew up in an average household with, you know, friends and family.
00:49:33We would always talk about homework and school, just casual teenager things.
00:49:37But now I have this incredible opportunity and I kind of want to break away and, you know, pursue my
00:49:42dream, but always keep the people that, you know, brought me up in my heart.
00:49:45I could go on a rant of why I love the song so much.
00:49:48I just wanted to slow the very beginning down a tiny bit.
00:49:51I can break away.
00:49:56It can be intimate.
00:49:57You don't have to push.
00:49:58That's what's going to separate you.
00:50:00She's going to choose one of you.
00:50:02There's no save.
00:50:02There's no steals.
00:50:03If I'm you, I want to make it impossible.
00:50:06Thank you ladies so much.
00:50:08Y'all are so great.
00:50:08Abigail and Liv.
00:50:09Who's going to come to the table?
00:50:11Who really wants it?
00:50:12Who's not going to show nerves?
00:50:14Great job.
00:50:15I will be singing Kelly's song in front of Kelly.
00:50:18Kelly's super steel artist.
00:50:19I have to use the nerves and turn them into excitement because in this round there are no second chances.
00:50:24Versus Abigail Oakley.
00:50:26I really want to make it to this next round.
00:50:29So this seems to be the best I've ever performed this song.
00:50:33They look so cool.
00:50:34This is really hard.
00:50:35Mm-hmm.
00:50:39Now with Breakaway, here's Liv Sierra.
00:50:49Grew up in a small town, and when the rain would fall down, I'd just stare round my window, dreaming
00:50:59of what could be.
00:51:00And if I'd end up happy, I would pray I could break away.
00:51:13I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly.
00:51:18I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky and I'll make a wish and take a chance and
00:51:26make a change and break away.
00:51:32Buildings with a hundred floors.
00:51:35Buildings with a hundred floors.
00:51:35Swinging round revolving doors.
00:51:37Maybe I don't know where they take me.
00:51:42Gotta keep moving on, moving on.
00:51:45I'm going to the sky and fly away.
00:51:47I'll fly away.
00:51:48Break away.
00:51:50Break away.
00:51:55I'll fly away.
00:51:55No, it's not easy to tell you goodbye.
00:52:01Make a change.
00:52:04Break away.
00:52:08I know the darkness is into the sun
00:52:13And I won't forget the place I come from
00:52:24Take a risk, take a chance
00:52:28Make a change and break her away
00:52:46Yeah!
00:52:47How beautiful!
00:52:58Welcome back to The Knockouts
00:53:01Yeah!
00:53:03Let's go!
00:53:07With Feather, here's Abigail Oakley
00:53:16It feels so good
00:53:19Not caring where you are tonight
00:53:23Oh
00:53:24And it feels so good
00:53:27Not pretending to like the wine that you like
00:53:32I
00:53:34Slam the door
00:53:35I
00:53:36Hate it nor
00:53:37I
00:53:38Say
00:53:39Yeah, no, no, no more
00:53:41I
00:53:42Got you blocked
00:53:44Excited to never talk
00:53:46I
00:53:47I'm so sorry for your loss
00:53:50I feel so much lighter like a feather
00:53:53With you off my mind
00:53:56Ah
00:53:58Flooding through the memories of whatever you're a waste of time
00:54:04Ah
00:54:06Shaking all that makes you act like
00:54:09You fit every stereotype
00:54:13Send a pic
00:54:14I feel so much lighter like a feather
00:54:17With you out my life
00:54:21With you out my life
00:54:23With you out my life
00:54:24With you out my life
00:54:24With you out my life
00:54:26Ooh
00:54:27Ooh
00:54:27Ooh
00:54:27Ooh
00:54:29Alright
00:54:30You want me, I'm done
00:54:33You miss me, no, no
00:54:35Where I'm at, I'm up, I'm up, I'm up, I'm up
00:54:38Up on stage at the voice right now
00:54:41Ooh
00:54:44Ooh
00:54:45Ooh
00:54:53Ooh
00:54:54Ooh
00:54:54Ooh
00:54:58I feel so much lighter like a feather with you off my mind
00:55:03Ooh
00:55:05Ooh
00:55:05Ooh
00:55:06I feel so much lighter like a feather with you out my life
00:55:16Ooh
00:55:22Ooh
00:55:23Ooh
00:55:24Ooh
00:55:25Ooh
00:55:26Ooh
00:55:26Ooh
00:55:27Ooh
00:55:29Wow
00:55:30Abigail, I don't know that song very well, so some of the melodies, they were like, oh, wow, it's really
00:55:35difficult to sing that way
00:55:36I loved hearing that cool part in the song where you had to do those little turns up in your
00:55:41head voice
00:55:41You executed it very well
00:55:43Thank you so much
00:55:44Liv, it's always tough to pick the song of your coach
00:55:49Seriously
00:55:50But I think it was really effective, especially at the end with those big chest voice notes that we were
00:55:55hitting
00:55:56It felt urgent enough to convince me that Liv should go to the next round if I were Steven
00:56:01Thank you
00:56:02Liv, you know, you're 16
00:56:04I think about when I was 16 and, like, I was so lame
00:56:07Like, I was just not even close to where you are, so I'm blown away
00:56:12You chose Kelly's song to sing in a moment where you had the power to choose, and that's a big
00:56:16statement
00:56:17Awesome job
00:56:18Thank you
00:56:19Abigail, you really have me feeling and understanding the lyrics
00:56:22Whenever you can, like, plug someone into a song like that, and that means that you are doing what is
00:56:26necessary to connect us to the music
00:56:28You both did really great, so I give you no help, really
00:56:32All right, Kelly, before you tell us who won, what'd you think?
00:56:35Well, I want to lead with Abigail because Sabrina on any song is hard
00:56:40And the fact, Abigail, that you're doing it in your head voice, it was perfectly executed
00:56:47That's a very hard thing to do
00:56:49And Liv, I was like, girl, why are you doing this song?
00:56:53And it's my song
00:56:54It's not usually a showstopper
00:56:56What's exciting to me is that you made it a showstopper
00:57:02Thank you
00:57:03This is very hard
00:57:05Kelly, who is the winner of this knockout?
00:57:10Regardless of who I pick, I do think that you're both special in very different ways
00:57:16Um
00:57:19The winner of this knockout is Liv
00:57:23Liv, Sierra, congratulations, you're moving on to the top nine for two, Kelly
00:57:28It's very hard
00:57:30Liv is exciting for me because she's 16th, and she really impressed me with what she did with my song,
00:57:34Breakaway
00:57:35She made it a competition song
00:57:36It's so nerve-wracking up there
00:57:38Oh!
00:57:38She's so good
00:57:39Now, Liv is in the semifinal, so I'll ride all right
00:57:43That song's like Piano Man
00:57:44Yeah, it was
00:57:45Except that whole, it's like the waltzy
00:57:46That's what I mean
00:57:47She made it a competitive song
00:57:49Yeah, that's true
00:57:50It was impressive
00:57:50You know, it definitely was cool
00:57:51It worked, it really worked
00:58:00Welcome back to the knockout's premiere
00:58:06So we got two amazing young ladies coming out now
00:58:09Natasha's got that soulful, smooth vibe
00:58:12And then Sid is like powerhouse
00:58:15I'm looking forward to it, let's go
00:58:16All right, let's do it
00:58:17Oh!
00:58:18Hello!
00:58:19Hi!
00:58:19Look who's here, we got the OG
00:58:21I was so excited to see CeeLo Green
00:58:24What's up?
00:58:25Crazy
00:58:26It was one of the first songs I ever covered
00:58:28He's just such an icon
00:58:30Natasha, talk to us
00:58:32What song have you chosen?
00:58:34I'm singing another sad love song by Toni Braxton
00:58:37Good one?
00:58:38All right, so let's try it
00:58:39It's just another sad love song
00:58:43Ripped in my brain
00:58:44Natasha is super cool
00:58:46Like a really pronounced lounge singer
00:58:49Extraordinarist
00:58:52A lounge may be a smaller stage
00:58:54But the crowd that's gathered around
00:58:57Is just as significant
00:58:58You got a smooth, sultry voice
00:59:01But I wanted to see you go even further
00:59:03Okay
00:59:04It doesn't have the smoothness and sultriness
00:59:06That I know you can deliver
00:59:08It feels too happy
00:59:10What if we, just to stay in babyface land
00:59:13Made it feel like
00:59:14When can I see you again?
00:59:15Ah
00:59:15There you go, let's start with that with the guitar
00:59:17Okay?
00:59:19Same tempo
00:59:20Woohoo!
00:59:21Yeah, I already feel it
00:59:22So be sultrier
00:59:23Think about who you are as a character in this song
00:59:27Think about that pain
00:59:28It's just another sad love song
00:59:32Wrecking my brain
00:59:33Oh!
00:59:34Feels way better
00:59:34Yeah
00:59:35Hey
00:59:36Natasha has so many strengths
00:59:39It's completely different from my vibe
00:59:41I love it
00:59:42Thanks so much, y'all
00:59:43Thank you
00:59:43So that in itself
00:59:45Like very much intimidates me
00:59:47I chose Tell Me You Love Me by Jemmy Lovato
00:59:50My college experience
00:59:52I was really big in musical theater
00:59:53And I was told no a lot
00:59:56I started to believe a lot of those people
00:59:58So now when I say tell me you love me
01:00:01I'm literally screaming at myself
01:00:03Yes
01:00:03Tell yourself you love you
01:00:05You know?
01:00:05Oh no
01:00:06Can't wait to hear it
01:00:07Oh tell me you love me
01:00:11I need someone
01:00:13On days like this I do
01:00:16Sid, crazy range, crazy power, crazy ability
01:00:20She has just a remarkable gift
01:00:24Oh tell me you love me
01:00:28The range, the skill level, the style
01:00:32It just shows the level of Sid's confidence as an artist
01:00:35That she's taking on these big challenges
01:00:37No doubt
01:00:38You
01:00:39You
01:00:41You
01:00:41You
01:00:42You
01:00:44I'm so impressed, effective immediately
01:00:47So good
01:00:48Thank you
01:00:49Your challenge is how to channel your own story into how you deliver this song
01:00:55Yeah
01:00:55But other than that, it sounds incredible
01:00:58Tash, come back over
01:01:00Yeah, it's okay
01:01:01I have keepsakes for the both of you
01:01:03Oh my gosh
01:01:04Oh my god
01:01:05Sid and Natasha, very stylistically different
01:01:08But each of them can be amazing in their own space
01:01:11You got wisdom, pearls of wisdom
01:01:13To be great is to be misunderstood
01:01:15I paint flowers so they will not die
01:01:18Oh
01:01:18I'm really watching the stage to see who feels like they belong there
01:01:23And make me get out of my head
01:01:25And just listen with my heart
01:01:27Yes
01:01:28Let's go Sid
01:01:32All right Sid
01:01:34Now with Tell Me You Love Me, here's Sid Milavoy
01:01:47I'm sorry
01:01:49Oh no, here we go again
01:01:54Fighting over what I said
01:01:57I'm sorry
01:01:59Yeah, I'm sorry
01:02:02Yeah, I'm sorry
01:02:03And all my friends, they know when it's true
01:02:05I don't know who I am without you
01:02:08I got it back, baby
01:02:11I got it back, baby
01:02:12I got it back, baby
01:02:13I got it back
01:02:14Oh, tell me you love me
01:02:16I need someone
01:02:19On days like this I do
01:02:22On days like this
01:02:25Oh, tell me you love me
01:02:28I need someone
01:02:31On days like this I do
01:02:34On days like this
01:02:45Oh, tell me you love me
01:02:51Oh, tell me you love me
01:02:53Oh, I need someone
01:02:54On days like this
01:02:57On days like this
01:03:00Oh, tell me you love me
01:03:03Oh, tell me you love me
01:03:10Oh, tell me you love me
01:03:12Can you hear my heart say yeah?
01:03:29I know that we will be all right, all right, yeah.
01:03:37Woo!
01:03:41Yeah.
01:03:44Let's go, Natasha.
01:03:55Welcome back to The Knockouts.
01:04:01With another sad love song, here is Natasha Bland.
01:04:11Since you've been gone, I've been hanging around me lately.
01:04:17With my mind to stay, jumped in my car, tried to clean my mind.
01:04:26They didn't help me, guess I'm all messed up.
01:04:32Soon as I jumped into my rhyme, memories start to play.
01:04:42A song comes on, on the radio.
01:04:47Oh, there you are, baby.
01:04:51Once again, it's just another sad love song.
01:04:56Wrecking my brain like crazy.
01:04:59Yes, I'm all torn.
01:05:03Be fast or slow.
01:05:06It doesn't let go or shake me.
01:05:14Here come the strings, and somebody sings.
01:05:19Only takes a beat, and then it starts killing me, darling.
01:05:25It only takes one note from our radio, just to deny the lonely love song.
01:05:37Oh, hey, I'm like crazy.
01:05:46I won't turn the beat.
01:05:49Be fast or slow.
01:05:51It doesn't let go or shake me.
01:05:56It's all because of you.
01:06:07Very nice.
01:06:11Yeah.
01:06:13Yay.
01:06:15Woo!
01:06:18Fantastic.
01:06:19All right.
01:06:21Excellent job, by the way, both of you guys.
01:06:23So different.
01:06:24I mean, so different.
01:06:27Yeah.
01:06:27Natasha, I heard something in your range I hadn't heard yet.
01:06:30And it got more comfortable, I think, as the performance continued.
01:06:33I think with you, just so much improvement.
01:06:35Just amazing where you wound up on this one.
01:06:37So great job.
01:06:40Sid, you know, it's amazing what you do.
01:06:43You can sing any note there is to sing, and you do it with power.
01:06:46It just keeps on soaring like a frickin' eagle.
01:06:49If you were to move forward, I almost want to get tapped into the emotion of it even more,
01:06:53because we know you can sing to the moon.
01:06:55Great job.
01:06:56I would lean towards Sid on this one.
01:07:00Natasha, I love that vibe that you do, that lounge kind of singer.
01:07:05Especially, like, in your 20s with that sound, like, I don't know many people that do that.
01:07:10Sid, you have this voice that is meant for an arena like this.
01:07:13No matter what the song is, you can turn it into something that sounds like a finale song.
01:07:17But if you don't have that part that captivates you, that makes me want to cry, which you are capable
01:07:22of,
01:07:23that's the only connection I'm missing from you at this point.
01:07:25If you tap into that, girl, you will be unstoppable.
01:07:29Thank you, coaches.
01:07:31All right, John, you got a tough decision coming up.
01:07:33Give us some thoughts first.
01:07:35Natasha, I really liked a lot of the stylistic choices that you made.
01:07:39Thanks.
01:07:39You understand who you are as a vocalist.
01:07:41You just got to lean into that and continue to work on being the best in that lane.
01:07:46Thanks.
01:07:48Sid, I completely agree with what they've been saying about the next level for you.
01:07:53It's so obvious you're one of the most gifted singers we'll ever come across, period.
01:07:57So the next thing is making the audience believe you as an artist.
01:08:02Tough choice for you, John, but the time has come.
01:08:05Who is the winner of this knockout?
01:08:12The winner of this knockout is Sid.
01:08:17All right, Sid, congratulations!
01:08:19I am really loving the knockouts.
01:08:22Fantastic.
01:08:23These ladies did such a wonderful job, but Sid is just so good.
01:08:26Watching someone that has that much skill, it's a marvel.
01:08:29Only a few human beings in the world can actually do it.
01:08:32We should honor that, especially on a show called The Voice.
01:08:36Congratulations!
01:08:38That was a close one.
01:08:40Top nine feels so crazy to me and I can't even believe that I'm saying it.
01:08:44I'm going to the top nine.
01:08:46Team Legend!
01:08:48Yeah!
01:08:56Welcome back to The Voice Battle of Champions.
01:09:02Do you remember the first day we shot the show?
01:09:05They put us in these big red goofy chairs.
01:09:08And then they just basically said go.
01:09:10It was definitely on the job training for sure.
01:09:12And then look at all this.
01:09:13Fuck, everyone in the world knows what The Voice is.
01:09:16We built this city.
01:09:18We built this city.
01:09:19We built this city.
01:09:21I'm running again.
01:09:23We're in this.
01:09:24You ready?
01:09:24I'm ready.
01:09:25You ready?
01:09:25We got this.
01:09:26What's up?
01:09:26I'm putting Mike and Jeremy together because I know that for them to get far in this competition,
01:09:31they're going to have to get through each other.
01:09:33I bought you all a present.
01:09:35Yo.
01:09:35Oh, wow.
01:09:36Walking in and seeing CeeLo, that was crazy.
01:09:40The one and only.
01:09:41How you doing?
01:09:41What an honor.
01:09:42He is my childhood inspiration.
01:09:44Goody mob all day.
01:09:46My pleasure.
01:09:46My pleasure.
01:09:47CeeLo knows what it takes to win.
01:09:49Mike's brand new here.
01:09:50Yes, I am.
01:09:51He's on a new Team Adam.
01:09:53John Legend was foolish.
01:09:54I heard about his debacle.
01:09:56We got a steal!
01:09:58Being Adam's only steal, like, I feel really, really special.
01:10:02He's so good, bro.
01:10:03I want to show Adam that he did not make a mistake.
01:10:07I'm going to give him my all.
01:10:08Mike, have a seat over there.
01:10:10All right.
01:10:11Taking down a classic?
01:10:12Yes.
01:10:13My guy.
01:10:14I will be singing Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing by Marvin Gaye and Tammy Terrell.
01:10:19I spent a decade singing with Soulful Symphony.
01:10:21It's a 75-piece orchestra of African-American musicians.
01:10:26We've done a lot of different tributes, and one of them included a tribute to Marvin Gaye.
01:10:33I currently live in Los Angeles.
01:10:35I've been here for about nine years now.
01:10:38I do music full-time.
01:10:40I've been working at this since I was 16, and being on the voice stage, it's nothing like it.
01:10:46Let's hear some music.
01:10:47Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby.
01:10:51I think it's a good choice.
01:10:52I think it's smart.
01:10:53It's doing a song that everybody wants to hear.
01:10:55It's just about how he's going to deliver it.
01:10:56Oh, nothing like the real thing.
01:11:00Jeremy has so much more experience than I do, but me and Jeremy both received a triple-chair turn.
01:11:07So it's going to be a really tough knockout.
01:11:13I heard modulation moments, and you're a little bit hesitant.
01:11:18Wherever you're at now, just be there.
01:11:20Don't get too heady about it.
01:11:22I see how you're struggling with dealing with the beginning.
01:11:26First of all, you're saying the crap out of it.
01:11:27But you miss Tammy.
01:11:30You're reading my mind.
01:11:31It's like peanut butter, no jelly.
01:11:32Without that support, it does leave too much of a gaping hold.
01:11:37Yeah.
01:11:37And those runs, those are your moments.
01:11:40And so you want to carry that run over.
01:11:43Right.
01:11:43Then it overshoots the mark of where the hook should come back in, because that's the satisfaction.
01:11:49Adam, show you again.
01:11:49We're good with the BGVs, too.
01:11:50Okay, great.
01:11:51Let's listen to it with the BGVs now.
01:11:52Okay, great.
01:11:55It was a little bit sketched in the beginning, because I didn't hear background vocals in
01:11:58there.
01:11:58But then we figured that out.
01:12:00I need him to be confident and happy with it.
01:12:02That's the most important thing.
01:12:03Jeremy, doing this duet song, I think it still lends itself to a quality in his voice,
01:12:09because it's sincere.
01:12:11Much, much better.
01:12:12Yeah.
01:12:13The confidence started to shine.
01:12:15Marvin Gaye is one of my all-time favorites.
01:12:17Ooh, crisis averted.
01:12:20Mike.
01:12:21Hey, Mikey.
01:12:22Mike Steele the Steel.
01:12:24Let me know why you chose this song.
01:12:26This is the type of music I grew up on.
01:12:28I am singing How You Gonna Act Like That by Tyrese.
01:12:31Growing up in Mississippi, the entire family used to meet up at my grandma's house.
01:12:36And have everything there from barbecues to fish fries, hosting car games, and Tyrese's
01:12:41music will always be playing in the background.
01:12:44His songs is just, that's how I always saw myself as an artist.
01:12:48How you gonna act like that?
01:12:52Mike sounds great.
01:12:53There's a quality in his voice.
01:12:55Unique.
01:12:56Yeah, it's very unique.
01:12:57It's this beast of a vocal tone.
01:12:59Ooh!
01:13:03Ooh!
01:13:05Ooh!
01:13:05Ooh!
01:13:05That's what I'm hoping that he realizes in himself.
01:13:08That quality, to be the king of the jungle.
01:13:10Yeah!
01:13:14All right, so look.
01:13:15We know you got a great voice.
01:13:16This will 150% come down to the performance.
01:13:20Right.
01:13:21It's a sexy song, and you need to perform it, and you need to make everyone fall in love
01:13:24with you.
01:13:25It's like an audio chick flick.
01:13:26It's like, when you do this, you gotta unleash.
01:13:29You cannot just stand there and sing the song, right?
01:13:30Okay.
01:13:31Move your mic stand to the side.
01:13:33Hold the mic, you know what I'm saying?
01:13:34Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:13:34Give yourself a little bit more space.
01:13:35You have to look to the right, to your left, to the center.
01:13:38This audience is your friend.
01:13:40Sing it to them.
01:13:41I guess.
01:13:42Just have fun.
01:13:43I guess.
01:13:43So, before you guys go, there is a message in each pocket on my morning jacket.
01:13:50Steve Brown.
01:13:50I need some help.
01:13:52Yeah.
01:13:53Where did it go?
01:13:54Man, come on.
01:13:57This is for you.
01:13:58Come, my child.
01:14:00Take that.
01:14:01Be well.
01:14:04Come to me.
01:14:07Thank you so much.
01:14:08Mmm.
01:14:12Mmm.
01:14:16C-Lo gave me a fortune and it said, talent borrows, genius steals.
01:14:21Let's go!
01:14:21Just meant, don't be afraid to use things that inspire you.
01:14:25Because nobody else can be you but you.
01:14:27I'll never forget it.
01:14:29C-Lo gave me the fortune.
01:14:31Art is what you can get away with.
01:14:32I steal!
01:14:33I'm going to implement this fortune into this knockout because I get the soul of something different.
01:14:39Let's go!
01:14:41He has good fashion taste.
01:14:43Yeah.
01:14:44Those are the fit.
01:14:45Now singing, how are you going to act like that?
01:14:47This is Mike Steele.
01:14:55It seems like just the other day that we hooked up.
01:14:59I was driving, you were walking, then I shook you up.
01:15:03From that moment on, I knew you were the one.
01:15:08You were walking and we fell in love.
01:15:12We would sit and talk for hours about anything.
01:15:18Baby, you hang up, don't you hang up.
01:15:20I bought you with my pager and I gave you everything.
01:15:27How are you going to love and leave me now?
01:15:33How are you going to act like that?
01:15:37How are you going to change it all?
01:15:39We just need to speak, love.
01:15:41How are you going to act like that?
01:15:46You know I'm willing to do anything just to keep you in my heart.
01:15:54I messed around and gave up everything.
01:15:59I thought we'd give up on.
01:16:03I was a player and I made the choice to give my heart to you.
01:16:12How are you going to act like that, baby?
01:16:21How are you going to treat me so wrong?
01:16:25Can somebody tell me why, why, baby?
01:16:36How are you going to trip?
01:16:39How can you forget?
01:16:41How are you going to act like that?
01:16:50How are you going to act like that?
01:17:01Welcome back.
01:17:09With Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing,
01:17:12here's Jeremy Keith.
01:17:20Ooh, hey, ain't nothing like the real thing, baby, ain't nothing like the real thing, no, no, ain't nothing like
01:17:34the real thing, baby, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:17:41I've got your picture hanging on the wall, but you can't see or come to me when I call your
01:17:48name. I realize you're just a picture in a frame, and I read your letters when you're not here, but
01:17:57they don't move me, and they don't move me like when I hear your sweet voice whispering in my ear.
01:18:09Ooh, ooh, yeah, ain't nothing like, hey, I play my game of fantasy, but I pretend that I'm not in
01:18:22reality. I need the shelter of your arms to come for me, no other, yeah, your name, no touch, can
01:18:35you have this much to make me feel better?
01:18:39So let's stay together, baby, nothing like the real thing, no.
01:18:53Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, sooo-ooh, nothing like the real, real, real, real thing.
01:19:12Good, divulge!
01:19:14Great singer.
01:19:18That was very close.
01:19:21Oh my gosh, how are you going to choose?
01:19:28I don't know, how are you going to choose from that?
01:19:32Yes, think to me.
01:19:34You're both so phenomenal.
01:19:36Jeremy, like you're such a rock steady singer.
01:19:39Your voice opens up.
01:19:40It's so beautiful.
01:19:42It fills the room.
01:19:43Mike, you have one of the coolest tones.
01:19:47Your runs were really cool.
01:19:49You got a little lost in it, in a good way.
01:19:51I don't mean lost as in like,
01:19:53oh man, you couldn't find your way back or land the plane.
01:19:55That's how I am with talking.
01:19:57I'll find my point at some point and land.
01:19:59She'll land the plane.
01:20:00But I will land the plane.
01:20:02You guys, you're both so good.
01:20:04Man, I don't know.
01:20:05If it's hard for you, just think about how hard it is for me.
01:20:08This is horrible.
01:20:09John, help me.
01:20:10First of all, Jeremy, in my mind,
01:20:13you're the better pure singer.
01:20:15And then Mike, you've got like, kind of the je ne sais quoi kind of vibe.
01:20:20I think your style is great.
01:20:22Swag.
01:20:23You're like, it's just swaggy.
01:20:24And so there's a lot of like, kind of the intangibles.
01:20:26So that's why it makes it really hard.
01:20:28You're screwed.
01:20:30I know.
01:20:31Okay.
01:20:31Thank you, coaches.
01:20:33That's hard.
01:20:35All right, Adam.
01:20:35Tough decision.
01:20:36What'd you think about the knockout?
01:20:37I thought they were great and they should both stay.
01:20:40It's really tough because, Jeremy, you are ready now.
01:20:44You have a fantastic voice.
01:20:45We haven't even really seen the full range of what is possible.
01:20:48And in Mike, there's a quality to what you do that's really different.
01:20:51I haven't heard many singers with that tone like yours.
01:20:54That's what was making this all very close,
01:20:56because you're both great singers.
01:20:57Tough decision, Adam.
01:20:58Yeah, it sure is, isn't it?
01:21:00Who's the winner of this knockout?
01:21:01I don't know.
01:21:06It sucks because I really do love you both.
01:21:09And I really think that you both should be on the show.
01:21:11And I think you should both be on my team.
01:21:12And I don't like this.
01:21:17The winner of this knockout is Jeremy.
01:21:21Take me now!
01:21:23Jeremy, congratulations.
01:21:24You're moving on to the top nine for Team Adam.
01:21:26The performances in the knockouts have been really good.
01:21:29Jeremy and Mike were really tough because they're both great singers.
01:21:31But going into the top nine, I just need to have the strongest team possible.
01:21:34Thank you so much.
01:21:36Jeremy's got an amazing voice that I still feel hasn't reached this full potential on the show yet.
01:21:40So Jeremy was just ready right now.
01:21:42That was the hardest.
01:21:43That was the hardest.
01:21:44That was so close.
01:22:01And you'll see you guys.
01:22:16And I...
01:22:19Very muscle.
01:22:22Very Key
