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 Bublรฉ, 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, giving yourself to me could never be wrong.
00:08:51If the love is true, oh, baby.
00:08:57Hey.
00:08:58Yeah!
00:08:59Don't you know how sweet and wonderful your life can be?
00:09:07Oh, I know that you, baby, can you love me?
00:09:19Oh, so come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, darling
00:09:24Stop being around the bush
00:09:29Oh, gonna get it on
00:09:34Thank you, baby, I want to get it on
00:09:39So you don't have to worry, that it's fun
00:09:43If the spirit moves you, let me groove you
00:09:47Oh, let your love come down
00:09:50If you believe in love, let's get it on
00:10:12Yeah, Moses
00:10:14What's going on, Moses?
00:10:16It's Piano Man time
00:10:22With New York State of mind, here's Lucas West
00:10:25Lucas!
00:10:38Some folks like to get away
00:10:41Take a holiday from the neighborhood
00:10:46I'm a ride to Miami Beach or to Hollywood
00:10:53But I'm taking a Greyhound on a Hudson River line
00:11:02I'm in the New York State of mind
00:11:13It was so easy living day by day
00:11:20Out of touch with the rhythm and the blues
00:11:28But now I need a little gift in the New York Times
00:11:38The Daily News
00:11:44It comes down to reality
00:11:46It comes down to reality
00:11:47And it's fine with me
00:11:49Cause I've let it slide
00:11:51I don't care if it's trying to turn down
00:11:55I want to be beside
00:11:57I don't care if it's trying to turn down
00:11:59But I don't have any reasons
00:12:02I've left them all behind
00:12:08I don't care if it's trying to turn down
00:12:10And he can play
00:12:12Cause I'm in a New York State of
00:12:17The New York Times
00:12:22Time
00:12:23OH
00:12:23OHO OHO OHOOOH
00:12:32That's soundh
00:12:36Yo, he's good
00:12:37That's, um, yeah!
00:12:42He makes me so happy
00:12:46Moses Moses Moses you cannot do that song unless you do exactly what you just did you committed sir
00:12:52That's right. I heard your words in my mind when I did it. I cannot move the way you were
00:12:57moving on that
00:13:05Lucas you were not on my team, and I'm still mad about it. Stay mad kids. Yeah
00:13:11You just keep getting better and better, dude
00:13:12I mean this dude really plays that keyboard is not a prop and I love that about you too. Thank
00:13:17you so much, man. Thank you
00:13:20Moses you make me so happy. I found myself smiling my face hurt
00:13:25I love it your arms open and you're dancing you're lost in it. You just love it
00:13:29Lucas Billy Joel if he says this like you just made him proud that was insane
00:13:36You have to be able to say I'm going to challenge myself because I feel like I am worthy of
00:13:40it
00:13:41And I think you need that kind of confidence and attitude to move forward so I would lean a bit
00:13:44more towards Lucas
00:13:45Thank you so much Kevin
00:13:47Thank you coaches
00:13:49All right John tough decision. What'd you think of it? Oh, I was so impressed with both of your performances
00:13:55Moses you really have such a beautiful energy. You just radiate light and
00:14:01Positive energy and that's what people want to feel and want to see Lucas
00:14:05I feel like we saw new things from you vocally today
00:14:09It was really like revelatory and to be able to play the piano and then sing as well as you
00:14:16did today is
00:14:17Just incredibly impressive. Thank you so much
00:14:20John tough knockout. Who is the winner this was very close
00:14:25I think both of you are phenomenal and it's been a joy working with both of you the winner of
00:14:31this knockout
00:14:41Welcome back to the knockouts premiere
00:14:44John who is the winner of this knockout the winner of this knockout is Lucas
00:14:52At this point everybody's so good. So only talented artists are going to go home
00:14:57It's the conundrum of making decisions when the competition is so good
00:15:02Lucas just had just enough of that extra food that I needed to know that he belonged in the semifinal
00:15:08It's really nice to hear from John hearing your hero tell you that they believe in you and a hundred
00:15:13percent is like the craziest thing
00:15:15You know, I want to call my mom
00:15:18So yeah, Lucas, he's the truth. He might win
00:15:26This is my first time in this position, you know that oh, yeah, yeah, do you need a cape?
00:15:32Very powerful right now. I mean Michael Bublรฉ is a nice name, but doesn't quite have the same ring is
00:15:44You're so special
00:15:45Mm-hmm
00:15:46So it's battle of champions
00:15:48So what I thought I'd do is I would bring in the greatest mega mentor I could think of
00:15:54I love my Bublรฉ
00:15:55You're so good at the show. You win a lot. I love it. Just like you. Yeah, I was built
00:16:00for doing this
00:16:01It is fun if I could be a small part of helping these artists to grow
00:16:05There's a lot of goodness that comes on
00:16:08All right, so up first are my country dudes who I love
00:16:11Yeah, this is my first time to really get to work with them and they're both very different
00:16:14All right, whoo
00:16:16I put the country boys together
00:16:17She didn't know what she was getting into Kelly paired me with JW Griffin and JW is one of my
00:16:23best buddies and I was like crud
00:16:25We should do like scooby-doo when we walk
00:16:30Let's bring him in
00:16:32Dude, you guys are so handsome
00:16:33Oh
00:16:34What's up? I'm Michael Bublรฉ and it's nice to meet you. I love Michael Bublรฉ. He's got five Grammys
00:16:39That's a huge deal at any level of artistry. I was kind of starstruck JW
00:16:44He's won two times. He's a champion. It's cool to see another coach that has a history of winning and
00:16:51to get to work with them
00:16:53I'm really like sorry once again. This is our first time to technically you get to work together be gentle
00:16:59with us, please
00:17:00Just you know, there's no steal and save. Oh, that's hard. That's really hard. Yes
00:17:04And this is y'all pick the song
00:17:06We really want to push you to make this song competitive because it's really cut through it goes from six
00:17:11to three
00:17:11It's like Hunger Games. All right. Who's starting? Okay. Who's starting which one? I'll go first. Okay
00:17:17This round there's no saves and there's no steals. So it's like we're in a big old pressure cooker
00:17:22And that stinks, but that's the way competition goes. Why'd you pick this song?
00:17:27I look up to Luke Combs a lot of great voice for the knockout round
00:17:31I pick love you anyway by Luke comes I guess it was 2025 and he was like hey listen
00:17:36I got two young boys at home. I'm not gonna be on tour all the time
00:17:39I want to be there to watch them grow up a lot of how Luke tends to be with his
00:17:43family
00:17:44I see that and how my dad was with me growing up and that means a lot
00:17:47I guess the first intro to country music for me was listening to the Alabama's greatest hits CD in my
00:17:52dad's truck
00:17:52That was where I started realizing that singing could be fun
00:17:55I'm at school right now because eventually I want to be a husband and I want to be a dad
00:18:00and I know that if music
00:18:01Doesn't have the ability to pay the bills getting my degree is my ultimate backup plan
00:18:06This AG building that I'm right next to has taught me so much. I'm currently studying agricultural business
00:18:12It's a little bit looser than a regular strict business degree because every once in a while. I'll wear my
00:18:17overalls to class. I love it
00:18:20It's been really cool, but if I could perform and do music for the rest of my life as a
00:18:25job
00:18:25I don't think I'd work a day in my life and that sounds good to me. I'm looking forward to
00:18:29this. Let's do it
00:18:30All right
00:18:36Houston is this big beautiful voice country singer. I think he could sing other stuff. I think oh, yeah
00:18:42To rhythm and blues because he rock he likes soulful and so young 20 20 years old
00:18:51I love this song what a
00:18:54Beautiful mess sad, but beautiful lyrically. It's deep and rich
00:18:58But don't forget to give me what the words are like a little bit
00:19:04Yeah, not save for us tell the story of them
00:19:07Millions and millions of people watching you and that is an intimate relationship that you're letting them in yeah message
00:19:14wise
00:19:14This is kind of a beautiful turn for you be tender man
00:19:18Even if I knew that might be a really cool time for your really beautiful falsetto do it right now
00:19:25Even if I knew the day we met you'd be the reason this heart break
00:19:32Dude, don't come on
00:19:35Okay, God that is stronger than the biggest note you could do. Okay. I'm gonna yell. You know when you
00:19:43do that
00:19:43All right
00:19:44I feel like it's nerve-wracking going against Houston
00:19:48He's got a classic country voice and it's really easy to connect with tear it up man for the knockouts
00:19:54I picked if it hadn't been for love by the steel drivers
00:19:56This kind of song can let me show out a little more of my soulfulness that I haven't really been
00:20:03able to do yet. I love it
00:20:07I
00:20:07Just love the sounds and the song has a bluegrass flair. It's in the country genre
00:20:12I think there's always gonna be country roots behind everything I do just because my accent and the way I
00:20:18talk
00:20:18I like country music the most because it
00:20:23Represents kind of what it feels like to be from South Georgia and now it's just like I'm thousands of
00:20:30miles away
00:20:30I've given up a lot of time to be here at work. I've missed a while now
00:20:36I missed the bread a lot, but I've been eating a lot of bread out here to
00:20:42The feeling of being able to perform and people enjoying it. That's what I'm here for. I'm not ready for
00:20:48it to end
00:20:48Well, let's hear it
00:20:57For me JW is a country star. I love his quick vibrato this tone just stylistically. I just dug what
00:21:03he was doing
00:21:07He just has this undeniable voice he's one of those classic storytellers
00:21:12For love
00:21:16Man your voice is so cool
00:21:19Like it's so effortless my 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, it can get a little monotonous, right?
00:21:30That's the only thing I'm thinking and trying to think of something to do lifts in the temple turn it
00:21:34into a
00:21:35Little more kind of rocking thing instead of it. Just kind of chillin. Yeah, we got to make this a
00:21:40competition song
00:21:41Yeah, I think Kelly's the perfect coach for me because she just has a great presence
00:21:45She's really warm, but she also like knows what she wants. I'd like it musically not to stay the same
00:21:52Yeah, she's a good leader just have some kind of like yeah rock it up. Yeah experiment with that
00:22:00JW the dude's tone is insane. I could listen to him sing a phone book and I'd be happy
00:22:07We took it to church
00:22:09I think Kelly's team has true country threats and uh, that is a nice place to be. Yeah, I love
00:22:15both songs
00:22:15You couldn't be more different representing different lanes in country music right now
00:22:19But yet you both have this soulful grit to you that is so classic. I love both of them
00:22:24They're both very different singers. What are you gonna do? How are you gonna make decisions?
00:22:28You think we talk about this? We think we know and then we get there the day of and you
00:22:32choose someone else it is for me in the moment
00:22:34Like whoever does best in the moment. That's what I'm going
00:22:41Now if if it hadn't been for love here is JW Griffin
00:22:54Never hitchhiked to Birmingham if it hadn't I love him
00:23:00And never woulda took the train to Louisiana
00:23:04If it hadn't been for love
00:23:06And never woulda run through the blinding rain without one dollar to my name
00:23:12If it hadn't been, if it hadn't been for love
00:23:16Yes!
00:23:18And never woulda seen the trouble that I'm in
00:23:21If it hadn't been for love
00:23:25And woulda been called like a wayward wind
00:23:28If it hadn't been for love
00:23:30Well nobody knows it better than me
00:23:34Well 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
00:24:03If it hadn't been for love
00:24:04And Lord have mercy on my soul
00:24:11If it hadn't been for love
00:24:12Well never woulda been to that side of town
00:24:14If it hadn't been
00:24:16Better CJ W
00:24:18Never woulda took him out the track her down
00:24:21If it hadn't been for love
00:24:24And never woulda loaded up my 44
00:24:27Put myself behind the jailhouse door
00:24:30If it hadn't been, if it hadn't been for love
00:24:36If it hadn't been, if it hadn't been
00:24:42Oh yeah
00:24:46Falling
00:24:47Falling
00:24:53Yeah
00:24:54Yeah
00:25:07Welcome back to The Knockouts
00:25:09At Universal Studios Hollywood
00:25:12Singing
00:25:14Love You Anyway
00:25:14Here's Houston Kelly
00:25:16Come on Houston
00:25:25If your kids turn me to stone
00:25:32Okay
00:25:32I'd be a statue standing tall in ancient Rome
00:25:38Good
00:25:39And 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 road 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 no choice
00:26:13There's just some things that leave a man no choice
00:26:14Like a compass need or need and it's true no
00:26:21Oh, baby
00:26:49Oh, baby, if I knew the day we met you, babe
00:26:55The reason this heart breaks
00:27:00Nice
00:27:01I know
00:27:02Oh, I'd love you anyway
00:27:10Oh, I'd love you anyway
00:27:14Oh, I'd love you anyway
00:27:15Oh, I'd love you anyway
00:27:37Houston, 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, and he gave a little smile, like, yeah.
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 in, 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, because 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, man, I'm here.
00:28:18I'm doing this.
00:28:19I just want to say thank you for reminding us about the fact
00:28:22that this all has to do with the joy of singing,
00:28:25and just excellent job.
00:28:27Thank you so much.
00:28:28Yeah.
00:28:29J-Dub.
00:28:31Still 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.
00:28:37I 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.
00:28:56All 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 a minute.
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.
00:29:09Like, 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.
00:29:15And what that lets me know is that you're fearless.
00:29:19And 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 for competition right now.
00:29:32The winner of this knockout is JW.
00:29:35JW!
00:29:37Houston versus JW was really hard.
00:29:39Thank 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 of 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.
00:30:18They 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 and 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 Battle of Champions.
00:30:43Oh 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.
00:30:59And then after that, I was like,
00:31:00I'm changing my style up.
00:31:01And your name.
00:31:03I used to sell it at my little shows
00:31:04in Philly and New York.
00:31:06I've grown up since then.
00:31:08Hey, 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, so 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?
00:31:38Love you, man.
00:31:39You know I love you.
00:31:39I live to entertain people
00:31:40for, you know, fabulosity.
00:31:43So, wow.
00:31:44Yeah.
00:31:45Get 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
00:31:59and see CeeLo as the mega mentor.
00:32:01CeeLo, man.
00:32:02Great to meet you, bro.
00:32:03Oh, you look great today.
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
00:32:12in 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.
00:32:16Nah.
00:32:17I am singing
00:32:18You Give Good Love
00:32:20by Whitney Houston.
00:32:21Tell me why I chose a song.
00:32:22Because her songs
00:32:23was some of the songs
00:32:24that my mom made me sing
00:32:26as a kid.
00:32:27Just like a full circle moment.
00:32:28I believe my mom
00:32:29did see potential in me
00:32:30very early.
00:32:32When I was little,
00:32:33she used to put me
00:32:34in, like, different talent shows.
00:32:36She was like,
00:32:37hey, if you win,
00:32:39we could go get a burger.
00:32:41I was like, okay.
00:32:42That was what I was excited about.
00:32:46She paved the way
00:32:47for me musically.
00:32:48But you did not give up.
00:32:50I am so proud of you.
00:32:51And so now I get to sing
00:32:53Whitney 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.
00:33:00All right.
00:33:00I know she will.
00:33:10Normally it's a bold move
00:33:11to do Whitney,
00:33:12but there is no singer
00:33:14that Whitney has been
00:33:15better hands with.
00:33:16Alexia is special.
00:33:18I think people are going
00:33:19to 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
00:33:28type of energy.
00:33:29Yeah, 100%.
00:33:31All right.
00:33:35All right.
00:33:36Bye-bye.
00:33:37That was pretty good.
00:33:39Let me just begin
00:33:39by saying what a blessing
00:33:41to be able to hear
00:33:43true talent.
00:33:44It sounded unique.
00:33:45It sounded fresh.
00:33:46We don't hear this song
00:33:47often enough.
00:33:48This was her humble beginning.
00:33:50This one song
00:33:50introduced her
00:33:51to the whole world.
00:33:52Was this first?
00:33:53And she did it
00:33:54in one take.
00:33:55Of course she did.
00:33:57Yeah.
00:33:57There's only one little thing
00:33:58I can tell you.
00:33:59Okay.
00:33:59When it first comes in,
00:34:02settle.
00:34:03Yeah, the edit doesn't
00:34:04give you the opportunity
00:34:04to slip down into it.
00:34:06Because,
00:34:08you know,
00:34:09how she opens up
00:34:10the record?
00:34:11Yeah.
00:34:11I wish you could do that
00:34:11because I love that part.
00:34:12I know.
00:34:13That's the thing.
00:34:14It does kind of,
00:34:15it throws you in it.
00:34:16So just use all the space
00:34:19so you can really settle in.
00:34:21I can do that.
00:34:21You're done.
00:34:22Alexia,
00:34:23she's just a powerhouse vocalist.
00:34:25That's definitely
00:34:26the most nerve-wracking thing.
00:34:27All right.
00:34:28I love the song choice.
00:34:29I love that he chose
00:34:30Wallflowers,
00:34:31One Headlight,
00:34:32an anthem song
00:34:33everybody wants to sing
00:34:34when it comes on.
00:34:34I love Jacob Dillon.
00:34:35I love the Wallflowers.
00:34:37I like the fact
00:34:37that he was very singer-songwriter,
00:34:40but it's also rock and roll.
00:34:41Hell yeah.
00:34:41This song is about
00:34:42figuring out
00:34:43life's toughest moments
00:34:44while trying to hold on.
00:34:46I do know what it feels like
00:34:47to hold on tight
00:34:48to my dreams
00:34:49through hard times.
00:34:50Nothing could have
00:34:51prepared me
00:34:52for how difficult
00:34:53and competitive Nashville is.
00:34:55There it is.
00:34:56It's tough.
00:34:57When you're first there,
00:34:58you don't know a lot of people.
00:34:59You don't have a lot of work.
00:35:01Six months
00:35:02after I moved to Nashville,
00:35:03you know,
00:35:03I was broke.
00:35:04But, you know,
00:35:05I just kept at it.
00:35:07I got my first cut
00:35:08as a songwriter.
00:35:09It proved that I can hang.
00:35:11Now to be here
00:35:12in the knockouts,
00:35:13no more steals,
00:35:14no 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
00:35:21somebody else.
00:35:23Man, I hate change.
00:35:25But I know I ain't the same.
00:35:27Man, Bay's been
00:35:28the big surprise
00:35:29coming 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
00:35:37and total cool.
00:35:39I can tell
00:35:40in the way you sing
00:35:41that you have
00:35:41a really great understanding
00:35:43of rock and roll music.
00:35:44Do you have
00:35:45a quintessential cool
00:35:46about you?
00:35:47I think the hardest part
00:35:48for me was
00:35:49when you get to that
00:35:49high point in the song
00:35:50to not overdo it.
00:35:52I mean, sit right
00:35:53in the pocket
00:35:54just a bit.
00:35:55You know what I mean?
00:35:55Yeah.
00:35:57Wait, I'm starting
00:35:58to get a...
00:35:59Oh.
00:36:00Hold on.
00:36:02I'm starting to get a...
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
00:36:11CeeLo was a fortune teller.
00:36:13That came as a surprise.
00:36:14For you, sir?

00:36:21Yeah.
00:36:23What do you want to say?
00:36:24Art is what you can
00:36:25get away with.
00:36:26I love that.
00:36:26That's good.
00:36:27I invent nothing.
00:36:28I rediscover.
00:36:29That's right.
00:36:30That's cool.
00:36:31That's pretty perfect,
00:36:32actually,
00:36:32when I think about it.
00:36:34I hate these decisions,
00:36:35but this one's going
00:36:35to be especially tough.
00:36:37Amazing, you guys.
00:36:38Dude, you got it aced.

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.

00:39:21Jeez
00:39:22Sing, Lexi
00:39:24Sing, girl
00:39:25You 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.
00:40:01They say she got easier from broken heart disease.
00:40:05As I listen to the cemetery trees.
00:40:18Come on, child.
00:40:21Nothing is forever.
00:40:22There'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 with one headlight.
00:40:46I'm so old.
00:40:47It'll feel just like somebody else.
00:40:50Man, I ain't changed.
00:40:52But I know I ain't the same.
00:40:55There's somewhere here in between these city walls of dying dreams.
00:41:00I think her death must be killing me.
00:41:17There's something better than in the middle.
00:41:22Me and Cinderella, we'll put it all together
00:41:26We can drive it home
00:41:28We're one of the lives
00:41:37We're one of the lives
00:41:45Yeah!
00:41:55Congratulations both of you
00:41:56Bae, I'm going to start with you
00:41:57I love that song so much
00:41:58Took 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
00:42:07Because you don't try to be cool
00:42:11Alexia, you are literally so good
00:42:15It is like if Whitney Houston and Lauryn Hill's voices had a baby
00:42:22I want to say that I've hugged you
00:42:24I want to say that I knew you before
00:42:26Like, you're so good
00:42:29I just want to remember this moment
00:42:33For when you were at the Grammys one day
00:42:34And I'm like, I know her
00:42:36I'm like, oh my gosh
00:42:38It's so good
00:42:39Oh, I love it
00:42:41Like, look, at this point
00:42:42I 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
00:42:55A good weird
00:42:57Music is really in you
00:43:00And it's super cool
00:43:01And weird in all the right ways
00:43:03Thank you so much
00:43:04Yes
00:43:04And Alexia
00:43:06The Lauryn Hill comment really works for me
00:43:08There's something about that vibe
00:43:11It's got grit
00:43:12You know, soulfulness
00:43:14And I love the style too
00:43:16You're giving a little Chaka Khan energy today
00:43:18The choices you're making
00:43:20It's just all working
00:43:22Thank you coaches
00:43:24All right, Adam
00:43:24What did you think about the knockout?
00:43:26You're both so comfortable in your own skin
00:43:28As far as who you are
00:43:29Bae, there's been something special about you
00:43:31From the first moment I heard you sing
00:43:32And you don't have to have a voice like Alexia's
00:43:35To 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
00:43:40Thank you
00:43:42And Alexia
00:43:43It's a shame that these two coaches didn't like what you did up there
00:43:45I got to go see Lauryn
00:43:49I think like 98, you know, Miss Education Tour
00:43:52I played on that album, you know
00:43:54No way
00:43:55I feel like I knew that
00:43:56Oh my god, that's amazing
00:43:58She is magic
00:43:59And you are so unique in that way
00:44:03Where 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
00:44:17Is 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
00:44:28Because she has one of the best voices I've ever heard in my life
00:44:30Amazing
00:44:30Alexia has that rare ability to sing anything
00:44:34I think she could win this entire competition very easily
00:44:36I heard that CeeLo came with a lot of zippers too
00:44:39Did y'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
00:44:49He had the fortune cookie messages
00:44:51Would he open different pockets?
00:44:52Yes, he opened different pockets
00:44:54Oh
00:44:54CeeLo's a wizard
00:44:56He's a wild man
00:44:58You're a wizard, Harry
00:45:06Welcome back to the knockout's premiere
00:45:10When did I see you last?
00:45:12It was on my show
00:45:13I 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
00:45:19Abigail has this really cool singer-songwriter
00:45:22Special 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
00:45:33Whoa, immediately
00:45:35We got a steal
00:45:36What do you mean?
00:45:38Oh, no
00:45:39When Kelly pressed her super steal
00:45:41It was such a crazy moment
00:45:42And one thing I'm going to make sure
00:45:44Is 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
00:45:51Was absolutely insane
00:45:53Michael's won Grammys
00:45:54Two 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 going to start?
00:46:02Abigail? Okay
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
00:46:08To sing about
00:46:09I feel light as a feather
00:46:10Let's hear it
00:46:11Life is so much lighter
00:46:13Like a feather
00:46:14With you off my mind
00:46:16I love Abigail for us
00:46:18I think she has such a sweet, lovely tone
00:46:20It's really angelic
00:46:22Like a kid
00:46:23You fit every stereotype
00:46:25Send a pic
00:46:26She was great
00:46:28Really great dance
00:46:29She's good at flipping songs
00:46:29This song is about letting go of someone who doesn't serve you anymore
00:46:35I've had my fair share of breakups
00:46:37But ultimately you get to exactly who you want to be with
00:46:41When I met Tom, we were both still in college
00:46:43He's the best
00:46:45He's the musician as well
00:46:46Tom is my biggest supporter
00:46:48It was really effortless
00:46:50Like two feathers floating together
00:46:56It's like so angelic
00:46:58Thank you
00:46:58You seemed shy at first in the blinds
00:47:00And I'm like, oh you're a little punk rock
00:47:02Like you got a little sass in there
00:47:03And I love that
00:47:04You're like a cross between Joni Mitchell and Melanie Martinez
00:47:07Oh yeah
00:47:08You'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
00:47:16That I really want to pull out
00:47:18Can you play that chorus?
00:47:19I feel so much lighter
00:47:21Like a feather with you off my
00:47:23You're on the voice
00:47:23You're 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
00:47:29You act like a kid
00:47:32You fit every stereotype
00:47:34Send a pic
00:47:37Yeah, since they're going quiet
00:47:39You can make that little sexy sound
00:47:41That you're making
00:47:41Like send a pic
00:47:42To have that little pause right there
00:47:44Because your little sass on it
00:47:46Is such great sauce
00:47:47I love it
00:47:48As an artist, Abigail is so unique
00:47:50The control is insane
00:47:53She's just so amazing
00:47:54And I'm so glad I get to hear her
00:47:55And work with her
00:47:56Hey Liv
00:47:57Hi
00:47:57Hey
00:47:58Can I ask you something stupid?
00:48:01Of course
00:48:01We didn't work together
00:48:02We didn't work together
00:48:04But I did audition last season
00:48:06And I didn't get a chair turn
00:48:07I was the one who had the connection
00:48:09With like the suckers
00:48:10Of course
00:48:11And I ate the sucker
00:48:12Was it good?
00:48:13Yes
00:48:13You brought a gift and everything?
00:48:14You're such an ass
00:48:15I'm an idiot
00:48:16For a competition
00:48:17This is an interesting song to pick
00:48:20Obviously I'm a fan of it
00:48:22I will be singing
00:48:22Breakaway by Kelly Clarkson
00:48:24I will say
00:48:25This was not one of my favorites
00:48:26To record
00:48:27But it's one of my favorites
00:48:29To perform live
00:48:30Yeah
00:48:30Because it touches so many people
00:48:32Yeah
00:48:32Are we gonna shake it up a little bit?
00:48:34Yeah
00:48:34So
00:48:34Okay
00:48:35Obviously I have so much respect
00:48:36For 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
00:48:43And 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
00:48:49I spread my wings
00:48:51And I learn how to fly
00:48:54And if she's this good at 16
00:48:56I can't even imagine
00:48:57What this girl's gonna sound like
00:48:59When she's 18, 19, 20
00:49:00I mean
00:49:00Yeah
00:49:01Already great
00:49:04You have such a good voice
00:49:07This song can be yours now
00:49:08I just want you to tell me
00:49:10That you're really gonna be
00:49:11As genuine and honest
00:49:13As you can be
00:49:13Present, yeah
00:49:14It's a gorgeous song
00:49:15And if this message
00:49:16Really does mean something to you
00:49:17Yeah
00:49:17It'll serve you well
00:49:19Knowing that
00:49:19This round we get to pick our songs
00:49:21It's kind of a breath of relief
00:49:22Because this is the song
00:49:24That I feel represents me the most
00:49:25This song is about
00:49:27Stepping out of your comfort zone
00:49:28Pursuing your dreams
00:49:29I grew up in an average household
00:49:31With, you know, friends and family
00:49:33We would always talk about homework
00:49:34And school
00:49:35Just casual teenager things
00:49:37But now I have this incredible opportunity
00:49:39And I kind of want to break away
00:49:40And, you know, pursue my dream
00:49:42But always keep the people
00:49:43That, you know, brought me up
00:49:44In my heart
00:49:45I could go on a rant
00:49:47Of why I love the song so much
00:49:48I just wanted to slow
00:49:49The 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 gonna separate you
00:50:00She's gonna choose
00:50:01One of you
00:50:02There's no save
00:50:02There's no steals
00:50:03If I'm you
00:50:04I want to make it impossible
00:50:05Thank you
00:50:06Thank you ladies so much
00:50:08That was so great
00:50:08Abigail and Liv
00:50:09It's who's gonna come to the table
00:50:11Who really wants it
00:50:12Who's not gonna show nerves
00:50:14Great job
00:50:15I will be singing Kelly's song
00:50:16In front of Kelly
00:50:17Kelly's super steel artist
00:50:19I have to use the nerves
00:50:20And turn them into excitement
00:50:21Because in this round
00:50:23There are no second chances
00:50:24Versus Abigail Oakley
00:50:26I really want to make it
00:50:27To this next round
00:50:29So this needs to be
00:50:30The best I've ever
00:50:32Performed this song
00:50:33They look so cool
00:50:34This is really hard
00:50:39Now with Breakaway
00:50:40Here's Liv Sierra
00:50:49Grew up in a small town
00:50:51And when the rain would fall down
00:50:53I'd just stare out my window
00:50:58Dreaming of what could be
00:51:00And if I'd end up happy
00:51:02I would pray
00:51:05I could break away
00:51:13I'll spread my wings
00:51:16And I'll learn how to fly
00:51:18I'll do what it takes
00:51:20Till I touch the sky
00:51:22And I'll make a wish
00:51:24And take a chance
00:51:26And make a change
00:51:27And break away
00:51:32Buildings with a hundred floors
00:51:34Swinging round revolving dust
00:51:37Maybe I don't know
00:51:38Where they take me
00:51:40Gotta keep moving on
00:51:43Moving on
00:51:45Fly away
00:51:47Break away
00:51:49Break away
00:51:54No, it's not easy
00:51:57Tell you goodbye
00:52:00Make a change
00:52:03Make a change
00:52:07Break away
00:52:08I know the darkness
00:52:10And into the sun
00:52:13And I won't forget
00:52:14The place I come from
00:52:24Take a risk
00:52:26Take a chance
00:52:28Take a chance
00:52:31I love that
00:52:33And break away
00:52:37I love that
00:52:48Break away
00:52:58Welcome back to The Knockouts.
00:53:01Yeah.
00:53:03Let's go.
00:53:08With Feather, here's Abigail Oakley.
00:53:16It feels so good, not caring where you are tonight.
00:53:23Oh.
00:53:25And it feels so good, not pretending to like the wine that you like.
00:53:32I slam the door, I hit ignore, I say yeah, no, no, no more.
00:53:42I got you blocked, excited to never talk.
00:53:46I, I'm so sorry for your loss.
00:53:50I feel so much lighter like a feather with you off my mind.
00:53:55Oh, floating through the memories of whatever you're a waste of time.
00:54:04Oh, shaking all the nicks, you act right.
00:54:10You fit every stereotype, send a pic.
00:54:15I feel so much lighter like a feather with you out my life.
00:54:21With you out my life, ooh.
00:54:29All right.
00:54:31You 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.
00:54:38I'm up on stage at The Voice right now.
00:54:48Oh, I feel so much lighter like a feather with you off my mind.
00:54:55Oh, I feel so much lighter like a feather with you off my mind.
00:55:04Oh, I feel so much lighter like a feather with you off my mind.
00:55:11Oh, I feel so much lighter like a feather with you off my mind.
00:55:26Oh, I feel so much lighter like a feather with you off my mind.
00:55:28Wow, Abigail, I don't know that song very well.
00:55:32So some of the melodies, they were like, oh, wow.
00:55:35It's really difficult to sing that way.
00:55:37I loved hearing that cool part in the song
00:55:38where you had to do those little turns up in your head voice.
00:55:41You executed it very well.
00:55:43Thank you so much.
00:55:45Liv, it's always tough to pick the song of your coach.
00:55:49Seriously.
00:55:50But I think it was really effective,
00:55:52especially at the end with those big chest voice notes
00:55:55that we were hitting.
00:55:56It felt urgent enough to convince me
00:55:58that Liv should go to the next round if I were to do this.
00:56:02Liv, you know, you're 16.
00:56:04I think about when I was 16 and, like, I was so lame.
00:56:08Like, I was just not even close to where you are.
00:56:11So I'm blown away.
00:56:12You chose Kelly's song to sing
00:56:13in a moment where you had the power to choose.
00:56:16And that's a big statement.
00:56:17Awesome job.
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,
00:56:25that means that you are doing what is necessary
00:56:27to connect us to the music.
00:56:28You both did really great.
00:56:30So 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
00:56:37because Sabrina on any song is hard.
00:56:41And the fact, Abigail, that you're doing it in your head voice,
00:56:44it 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.
00:56:57What's exciting to me is that you made it a showstopper.
00:57:03This is very hard.
00:57:05Kelly, who is the winner of this knockout?
00:57:09Regardless of who I pick,
00:57:11I do think that you're both special in very different ways.
00:57:18Um, the winner of this knockout is Liv.
00:57:23Liv, Sierra, congratulations.
00:57:26You'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,
00:57:32and 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.
00:57:38She's so good.
00:57:40Now, Liv is in the semifinal,
00:57:41so I'll write, I'll write.
00:57:43That song's like Piano Man.
00:57:44Yeah, it was.
00:57:45Set that whole, it's like the waltzy.
00:57:47That's what I mean.
00:57:47She made it a competitive song.
00:57:50Yeah, that's true.
00:57:50You know, it definitely was cool.
00:57:51It worked.
00:57:52It 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.
00:58:16All right, let's do it.
00:58:18Hello.
00:58:19Look who's here.
00:58:20We got the OG.
00:58:21I was so excited to see CeeLo Green.
00:58:25What's up?
00:58:25Crazy 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.
00:58:44Natasha is super cool.
00:58:46Like a really pronounced lounge singer.
00:58:50Extraordinarist.
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, social 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.
00:59:09It 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, there you go.
00:59:16Let's start with that with the guitar, okay?
00:59:19Same tempo.
00:59:20Oh, yeah.
00:59:21I already feel it.
00:59:22So be sultrier.
00:59:24Think about who you are as a character in this song.
00:59:27Think about that pain.
00:59:28It's just another shadow of a song wrecking my brain.
00:59:33Oh, that was way better.
00:59:34That was better, yeah.
00:59:36Hey.
00:59:37Natasha has so many strengths.
00:59:39It's completely different from my vibe.
00:59:42I love it.
00:59:42Thanks so much, y'all.
00:59:43All right.
00:59:44So that in itself, like, 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,
00:59:54and I was told no a lot.
00:59:56I started to believe a lot of those people.
00:59:59So now, when I say, tell me you love me,
01:00:01I'm literally screaming at myself.
01:00:03Tell yourself you love you, you know?
01:00:06Can't wait to hear it.
01:00:07Oh, tell me you love me.
01:00:10I need someone on days like this, I do.
01:00:16Syd, crazy range, crazy power, crazy ability.
01:00:20She has just a remarkable gift.
01:00:24I'll tell me you love me.
01:00:29The range, the skill level, the style,
01:00:32it just shows the level of Syd's confidence as an artist
01:00:35that she's taking on these big challenges.
01:00:37No doubt.
01:00:38You, you, you, you.
01:00:44I'm so impressed, effective immediately.
01:00:47So good.
01:00:49Your challenge is how to channel your own story
01:00:52into how you deliver this song.
01:00:55But other than that, it sounds incredible.
01:00:58Ash, come back over.
01:01:00Thanks, so good.
01:01:01I have keepsakes for the both of you.
01:01:03Oh, my gosh.
01:01:05Syd and Natasha, very stylistically different,
01:01:08but each of them can be amazing in their own space.
01:01:11Got wisdom.
01:01:12Pearls of wisdom.
01:01:13To be great is to be misunderstood.
01:01:15I paint flowers so they will not die.
01:01:18Ooh.
01:01:19I'm really watching the stage
01:01:20to 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, Syd.
01:01:32All right, Syd.
01:01:34Now with Tell Me You Love Me,
01:01:36here's Syd Millivoy.
01:01:43Ooh.
01:01:48Yeah.
01:01:51Oh, no, here we go again.
01:01:54Fighting over what I said.
01:01:57I'm sorry.
01:01:59Yeah, I'm sorry.
01:02:02And 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.
01:02:11Got it back.
01:02:13Oh, tell me you love me.
01:02:17I need someone on days like this, I do.
01:02:22On days like this.
01:02:25Oh, tell me you love me.
01:02:28I need someone on days like this, I do.
01:02:34On days like this.
01:02:36Oh, can you hear my heart say yeah?
01:02:43You ain't nobody till you're not somebody.
01:02:46Say you ain't nobody till you're supposed to love me.
01:02:50You love me.
01:02:52I need someone on days like this.
01:02:57On days like this.
01:03:00I'm still being alone.
01:03:03Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
01:03:08There's a blindness, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
01:03:12Can you hear my heart say yeah?
01:03:14Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:03:25Helpful with what I need.
01:03:28Stand right in front of me.
01:03:31I know that we will be all right, all right, yeah.
01:03:44Let's go, Natasha.
01:03:46Let's go, Natasha.
01:03:55Welcome back to The Knockouts.
01:04:01With another sad love song, here is Natasha Blaine.
01:04:11Since you've been born, I've been hanging around me lately with my mind a stale.
01:04:22Jumped in my car, tried to clean my mind.
01:04:26They didn't help me.
01:04:29Guess I'm all messed up, baby.
01:04:32Soon as soon as I jumped into my rhyme, memories start to play.
01:04:42A song comes on, on the radio.
01:04:48There you are, baby.
01:04:51Once again, it's just another sad love song, wrecking my brain like crazy.
01:05:00Guess I'm all torn up, being 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.
01:05:24Darling, only takes one note from our radio.
01:05:29Just deny the lonely love song, just deny the lonely love song.
01:05:38Hey, I'm like crazy.
01:05:44I'm all torn up, being fast or slow.
01:05:51It doesn't let go or shake me.
01:05:55It's all because of you.
01:06:08Very nice.
01:06:11Yeah.
01:06:13Yeah.
01:06:16Woo!
01:06:18Fantastic.
01:06:19All right.
01:06:21Excellent job, by the way.
01:06:22Both 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.
01:06:45And you do it with power.
01:06:46It just keeps on soaring like a freaking 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.
01:07:03That lounge kind of singer.
01:07:05Especially, like, in your 20s with that sound.
01:07:07Like, 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,
01:07:22that'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, Johnny, 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.
01:08:03Tough choice for you, John.
01:08:04But the time has come.
01:08:06Who 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.
01:08:47Team legend, yeah!
01:08:57Welcome back to The Voice Battle of Champions.
01:09:02Do you remember the first day we shot the show?
01:09:06They put us in these big, red, goofy chairs, and 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.
01:09:13Like, everyone in the world knows what The Voice is.
01:09:16We built this city.
01:09:20Without this city, I'm running around us.
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?
01:09:41How 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.
01:09:47My 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 gosh.
01:10:14I will be singing Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing by Marvin Gaye and Tammy Terrell.
01:10:18I spent a decade singing with Soulful Symphony.
01:10:22It's a 75-piece orchestra of African-American musicians.
01:10:26We've done a lot of different tributes.
01:10:29And 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.
01:10:42And 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.
01:10:57Oh, nothing like the real thing.
01:11:00Jeremy has so much more experience than I do.
01:11:03But me and Jeremy both receive a triple chair turn.
01:11:08So 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.
01:11:37And 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.
01:11:48Adam, church again.
01:11:49We're good with the BGVs.
01:11:50Okay, great.
01:11:51Let's listen to it with the BGVs.
01:11:52Okay, great.
01:11:55It was a little bit sketched in the beginning, because I didn't hear background vocals in there.
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, but 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.
01:12:19Ooh, Mike.
01:12:21Hey, Mikey.
01:12:22Mike, steal 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 music
01:12:42will 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.
01:12:54There'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.
01:13:00Ooh!
01:13:02Ooh!
01:13:05That's what I'm hoping that he realizes in himself, that quality, to be the king of the jungle.
01:13:11Yeah.
01:13:13All right, so look, we 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.
01:13:33Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:13:33You know what I'm saying?
01:13:34Give yourself a little bit more space.
01:13:36You 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.
01:13:50It's deep down in there.
01:13:51I 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.
01:14:06Thank you so much.
01:14:09Mmm.
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, because nobody else can be you but
01:14:27you.
01:14:27I'll never forget it.
01:14:29C-Lo gave me the fortune, artist what you can get away with.
01:14:32Nice deal!
01:14:33I'm going to implement this fortune into this knockout, because I get to show them something
01:14:38different.
01:14:39Let's go!
01:14:41He has good fashion taste.
01:14:43Yeah.
01:14:43He was with the fix.
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, and I shook you up.
01:15:04From that moment on, I knew you were the one.
01:15:07You were walking, you were walking, and we fell in love.
01:15:12We would sit and talk for hours without anything.
01:15:17Baby, you take up all three, wake up.
01:15:20I bought you up.
01:15:22I bought you with my picture, and I gave you everything.
01:15:24You're walking, and I gave you everything.
01:15:27I gave you everything.
01:15:28How are you going to love?
01:15:30Love can't lead me now.
01:15:33How are you going to act like that?
01:15:37How are you going to change it all?
01:15:45You know I'm willing to do anything just to keep you in my heart.
01:15:54I messed around and gave up everything I thought we'd give up on.
01:16:03I was a player, and I made the choice to give my heart to you.
01:16:17How are you going to act like that, baby?
01:16:21How are you going to treat me so wrong?
01:16:25Hey.
01:16:26Can somebody tell me why, why, baby?
01:16:32Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:16:36How are you going to trip?
01:16:39How can you forget?
01:16:41How are you going to act like that?
01:16:45Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
01:16:50Yeah!
01:17:01Welcome back.
01:17:05Woo!
01:17:09With Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing, here's Jeremy Keith.
01:17:43Hanging on the wall, but you can't see or come to me when I call your name. I realize you're
01:17:51just a picture in a frame. And I read your letters when you're not here. But they don't move me
01:17:58and they don't prove me like when I hear your sweet voice whispering in my ear.
01:18:13Yeah, ain't nothing like that. I play my game of fantasy. But I pretend that I'm not in reality.
01:18:25I need the shelter of your arms to come for me. No other. Yeah.
01:18:31I play your name. No touch. Can you have this much to make me feel better? So let's stay together.
01:18:41Oh, baby. Nothing like the real thing.
01:18:52Oh, baby. Nothing like the real, real, real thing.
01:19:11Go, Janet!
01:19:14Great singer. That's not good.
01:19:19That was very close.
01:19:21Oh my gosh!
01:19:25How are you going to choose?
01:19:28I don't know.
01:19:29How are you going to choose from that?
01:19:32Sing 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.
01:19:41It fills the room.
01:19:43Mike, you have one of the coolest tones.
01:19:46Your runs were really cool.
01:19:49Like, you got a little lost in it, and like, in a good way.
01:19:51I don't mean, like, lost as in, like,
01:19:53oh, man, you couldn't find Joey back or land the plane.
01:19:55That's how I am with talking.
01:19:57Like, I'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.
01:20:05Yeah, think about how hard it is.
01:20:06If it's this hard for you, just think about how hard it is for me.
01:20:08This is horrible.
01:20:10John, help me.
01:20:10First of all, Jeremy, in my mind,
01:20:13you're the better, like, pure singer.
01:20:16And then, Mike, you've got, like,
01:20:18kind of the je ne sais quoi kind of vibe.
01:20:20I think your style is great.
01:20:22Swag.
01:20:22You'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, tough decision.
01:20:36What did 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.
01:20:43You 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,
01:21:32I just need to have the strongest team possible.
01:21:34Thank you so much.
01:21:36Jeremy's got an amazing voice
01:21:37that I still feel hasn't reached this whole 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.
01:22:22You
