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.
00:08:46Hey!
00:08:47Give yourself to me could never be wrong.
00:08:50But if the love is true, oh, baby.
00:08:56Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:08:57Hey!
00:08:58Yeah!
00:08:59Yeah!
00:09:00You know how sweet and wonderful your life can be.
00:09:06Oh, I've got it on.
00:09:13You know how sweet and wonderful your life can be.
00:09:16Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:09:19So come on, 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
00:09:36I 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, let me groove you
00:09:47Oh, let your love come down
00:09:51If you believe in love
00:09:55Let's get it on
00:10:11Yeah, Moses
00:10:14What's going on, Moses?
00:10:16It's Piano Man time
00:10:22With New York State of Mind
00:10:23And here's Lucas West
00:10:24Lucas
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
00:10:49Or to Hollywood
00:10:53But I'm taking a Greyhound
00:10:56On a Hudson River line
00:11:02I'm in the New York State of Mind
00:11:13It was so easy
00:11:15Living day by day
00:11:20Out of touch with the rhythm and the blues
00:11:28But now I need a little gift
00:11:32The New York Times
00:11:37The 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
00:11:51I don't care if it's trying to down
00:11:54I want me to die
00:11:59But I don't have any reasons
00:12:02I've left them all behind
00:12:08Okay
00:12:09And he can play
00:12:11Cause I'm in a New York
00:12:14State of
00:12:19Time
00:12:22Time
00:12:23Time
00:12:24Oh
00:12:24Oh
00:12:25Oh
00:12:32That's right
00:12:36Yo, he's good
00:12:37That's right
00:12:38Yeah
00:12:43He makes me so happy.
00:12:46Moses, Moses, Moses, you cannot do that song
00:12:49unless you do exactly what you just did.
00:12:51You committed, sir.
00:12:53That'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, ay!
00:13:00Ay!
00:13:03Ay!
00:13:05Lucas, you were not on my team, and I'm still mad about it.
00:13:08Stay mad, kid, stay mad.
00:13:11You just keep getting better and better, dude.
00:13:13I mean, this dude really plays.
00:13:14That keyboard is not a prop, and I love that about you, too.
00:13:17Thank you so much, man, thank you.
00:13:20Moses, you make me so happy.
00:13:22I found myself smiling, my face hurt.
00:13:25I love it, your arms open, and you're dancing,
00:13:27you're lost in it, you just love it.
00:13:30Lucas, Billy Joel, if he says this,
00:13:32like, you just made him proud.
00:13:33That was insane.
00:13:36You have to be able to say,
00:13:38hey, I'm gonna challenge myself
00:13:38because I feel like I 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, tough decision.
00:13:51What'd you think of it?
00:13:51Oh, I was so impressed
00:13:53with both of your performances.
00:13:55Moses, you really have such a beautiful energy.
00:13:58You just radiate light and positive energy,
00:14:02and that's what people want to feel
00:14:04and want to see.
00:14:05Lucas, I feel like we saw new things
00:14:08from 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, tough 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 mm
00:15:05that I needed to 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 they believe in you
00:15:13and 100% is, like, the craziest thing, you know?
00:15:16I want to call my mom.
00:15:18Yo, Lucas, he's the truth.
00:15:20He might win.
00:15:21Let's go now.
00:15:23To the flow now.
00:15:25This is my first time in this position, you 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 it doesn't quite have the same ring as Mega Mentor.
00:15:43Mega Mentor.
00:15:44Mega Mentor.
00:15:52Mega Mentor I could think of.
00:15:54I love my buble.
00:15:56You'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.
00:16:00I was built for doing this.
00:16:01It is fun.
00:16:02If I could be a small part of helping these artists to grow,
00:16:05there's a lot of goodness that comes on it.
00:16:08All right.
00:16:08So up first are my country dudes, who I love.
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.
00:16:20Kelly paired me with J.W. Griffin,
00:16:22and J.W. is one of my best buddies.
00:16:24And 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.
00:16:34What's up?
00:16:35I'm Michael Bublé, and it's nice to meet you.
00:16:37I love Michael Bublé.
00:16:38He's got five Grammys.
00:16:39That's a huge deal at 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.
00:16:48It's cool to see another coach that has a history of winning
00:16:51and to get to work with them.
00:16:53I'm really, like, sorry once again.
00:16:56This is our first time to technically get to work together.
00:16:58Be gentle with us, please.
00:17:01Just so you know, there'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 Y'all Pick the Song.
00:17:06We really want to push you to make this song competitive
00:17:09because it's really cutthroat.
00:17:10It goes from six to three.
00:17:12It's like Hunger Games.
00:17:13All right.
00:17:13Who'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 and there's no steals.
00:17:20So it's like we're in a big old pressure cooker
00:17:22and that stinks, but that's the way competition goes.
00:17:26Why'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, I picked Love You Anyway by Luke Combs.
00:17:34I guess it was 2025 and he was like,
00:17:36hey, listen, I got two young boys at home.
00:17:37I'm not going to be on tour all the time.
00:17:39I want to be there to watch them grow up.
00:17:41A lot of how Luke tends to be with his family,
00:17:44I see that in how my dad was with me growing up
00:17:46and that means a lot.
00:17:46I guess the first intro to country music for me
00:17:49was listening to the Alabama's Greatest Hits CD
00:17:51in my dad's truck.
00:17:53That was where I started realizing
00:17:54that singing could be fun.
00:17:55I'm at school right now
00:17:57because eventually I want to be a husband
00:17:59and I want to be a dad.
00:18:00And I know that if music doesn't have the ability
00:18:03to pay the bills,
00:18:04getting my degree is my ultimate backup plan.
00:18:06This ag building that I'm right next to
00:18:09has taught me so much.
00:18:10I'm currently studying agricultural business.
00:18:12It's a little bit looser
00:18:13than a regular strict business degree
00:18:16because every once in a while
00:18:17I'll wear my overalls to class.
00:18:18I love it.
00:18:20It's been really cool,
00:18:21but if I could perform and do music
00:18:23for the rest of my life as a job,
00:18:25I don't think I'd work a 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.
00:18:31At least I'd have the stars
00:18:33that sparkled in your eyes.
00:18:36Houston is this big,
00:18:38beautiful 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 like soulful,
00:18:44and so young, 20.
00:18:46Yes, 20 years old.
00:18:47I love you anyway.
00:18:51Oh, I love this song.
00:18:53What a beautiful mess.
00:18:55Sad, but beautiful.
00:18:56Lyrically, it's deep and rich,
00:18:58but don't forget to give me
00:19:02what the words are.
00:19:03Like enunciate a little bit?
00:19:04Yeah, like enunciate for us,
00:19:05tell the story to them,
00:19:07millions and millions of people
00:19:08watching you,
00:19:09and that is an intimate relationship
00:19:11that you're allowed to have.
00:19:12Yeah.
00:19:14Message-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.
00:19:25Even if I knew,
00:19:26the day we met you'd be
00:19:28the reason this heart breaks...
00:19:33Dude!
00:19:33Dude!
00:19:34Come on!
00:19:36Okay.
00:19:37God!
00:19:38That is stronger
00:19:39than the biggest note you could do.
00:19:41Okay.
00:19:41The audience is gonna yell,
00:19:42you 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
00:19:47going 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,
00:19:54I picked If It Hadn't Been For Love
00:19:55by the Steel Drivers.
00:19:57This kind of song
00:19:59can let me show out
00:20:00a little more of my soulfulness
00:20:01that I haven't really
00:20:02been able to do yet.
00:20:04I love it.
00:20:07I just love the sounds,
00:20:08and the song has
00:20:09a bluegrass flair.
00:20:11It's in the country genre.
00:20:13I think there's always
00:20:14gonna be country roots
00:20:15behind everything I do,
00:20:16just because my accent
00:20:17and the way I talk.
00:20:19I like country music the most
00:20:21because it represents
00:20:23kind of what it feels like
00:20:25to be from South Georgia.
00:20:27And now it's just like
00:20:29I'm thousands of miles away.
00:20:30I've given up a lot of time
00:20:32to be here at work.
00:20:33I've missed a while now.
00:20:36I miss the bread a lot,
00:20:38but I've been eating
00:20:39a lot of bread out here, too.
00:20:41The feeling of being able
00:20:44to perform and people
00:20:45enjoying it,
00:20:46that's what I'm here for.
00:20:47I'm not ready for it to end.
00:20:49Well, let's hear it.
00:20:51Never would've hitchhiked
00:20:53a 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,
00:21:02yeah, I just dug
00:21:03what he was doing.
00:21:07He just has this
00:21:08undeniable voice.
00:21:09He's one of those
00:21:10classic storytellers.
00:21:13Nice.
00:21:16Man, your voice is so cool.
00:21:19Like, it's so effortless.
00:21:21My thing I would suggest,
00:21:23just because of the competition,
00:21:24if you're singing this at a show,
00:21:25do it exactly how you did it.
00:21:26But if you're doing it
00:21:27on a competition stage,
00:21:28it can get a little monotonous, right?
00:21:29That's the only thing
00:21:30I'm thinking.
00:21:31That's what I've been trying
00:21:31to think of something to do.
00:21:33Lift the tempo.
00:21:34Turn it into a little more
00:21:35kind of rocking thing.
00:21:37Yeah, yeah.
00:21:37Instead of it just kind of chilling.
00:21:38Yeah.
00:21:39We got to make this
00:21:40a competition song.
00:21:41Yeah.
00:21:41I think Kelly's
00:21:42the perfect coach for me
00:21:43because she just has
00:21:44a great presence.
00:21:45She's really warm,
00:21:46but she also, like,
00:21:48knows what she wants.
00:21:49I like it musically,
00:21:50not to stay the same.
00:21:52Yeah, yeah.
00:21:52She's a good leader.
00:21:53Just to have some kind of, like,
00:21:54eh.
00:21:55Yeah, rock it up a little bit.
00:21:56Experiment with that.
00:21:59J.W., the dude's tone is insane.
00:22:03I could listen to him
00:22:03sing a phone book
00:22:04and I'd be happy.
00:22:06Yeah!
00:22:08We took her to church.
00:22:09It's so good.
00:22:09I think Kelly's team
00:22:10has true country threats.
00:22:13That is a nice place to be.
00:22:14Yeah.
00:22:15I love both songs.
00:22:16You couldn't be more different,
00:22:17representing different lanes
00:22:18in country music right now,
00:22:19but yet you both have
00:22:20this soulful grit to you
00:22:22that is so classic.
00:22:23I love both of them.
00:22:24They're both very different singers.
00:22:26What are you going to do?
00:22:27How are you going to make decisions?
00:22:28You think we talk about this.
00:22:29We think we know
00:22:30and then we get there
00:22:31the day of
00:22:32and you choose someone else.
00:22:33It is for me in the moment.
00:22:34Like, whoever does best
00:22:35in 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, it's J.W.
00:22:40Woo!
00:22:41Let's go, baby!
00:22:42Now with
00:22:43If It Hadn't Been for Love,
00:22:44here is J.W. Griffin.
00:22:57I love him.
00:22:59Woo!
00:23:00I never would've
00:23:01took the train to Louisiana
00:23:02if it hadn't been for love
00:23:05I never would've
00:23:07run through the blinding rain
00:23:09without one dollar to my name
00:23:12if it hadn't been
00:23:13if it hadn't been for love
00:23:18I never would've seen
00:23:20the trouble that I've been
00:23:21if it hadn't been for love
00:23:24I would've been called
00:23:26like a wayward wind
00:23:28if it hadn't been for love
00:23:30Well, nobody knows it
00:23:33better than me
00:23:34I wouldn't be wishing
00:23:36I was free
00:23:37if it hadn't been
00:23:38if it hadn't been for love
00:23:41Yeah
00:23:43Four cold walls
00:23:46Against my will
00:23:49At least I know
00:23:52She's alive and sweet
00:23:55Four cold walls
00:24:00Without the road
00:24:03Lord, have mercy
00:24:06on my soul
00:24:11Well, never would've been
00:24:13to that side of town
00:24:14if it hadn't been
00:24:16Better be J.W.
00:24:18Never would've
00:24:19took him out the track
00:24:20hurt now
00:24:21if it hadn't been for love
00:24:23Never would've loaded up
00:24:26my 44
00:24:27Put myself behind
00:24:29the jailhouse
00:24:30Oh, if it hadn't been
00:24:31If it hadn't been for love
00:24:34If it hadn't been
00:24:38If it hadn't been
00:24:42Oh, yeah
00:24:43For love
00:24:52Yeah
00:25:07Welcome back to the
00:25:08Knockouts
00:25:09at Universal Studios
00:25:10Hollywood
00:25:13Singing
00:25:14Love You Anyway
00:25:14Here's Houston Kelly
00:25:16Come on, Houston
00:25:26If your kids
00:25:30Turned me to stone
00:25:31Okay
00:25:32I'd be a statue
00:25:35Standing tall
00:25:37In ancient Rome
00:25:38Good
00:25:39And if your touch
00:25:42Shed me like glass
00:25:46I'd be in pieces
00:25:49Trying to make
00:25:50The breaking last
00:25:53And if it took one road
00:25:56To turn my days to nights
00:26:00At least I'd have the stars
00:26:03To sparkle in your eyes
00:26:08There's just some things
00:26:10That leave a man of no choice
00:26:15Like a compass
00:26:16Need or need
00:26:18And it's true
00:26:19No
00:26:21Baby, if I knew
00:26:23The day we met you
00:26:25Babe
00:26:25The reason this heart breaks
00:26:28Is this heart breaks
00:26:30Oh, yeah
00:26:31I'd love you
00:26:32Anyway
00:26:38I'd love you
00:26:55I'd love you
00:26:58Anyway
00:27:01I love you anyway
00:27:07Oh, I love you anyway
00:27:14Yeah!
00:27:16Beautiful!
00:27:18Beautiful!
00:27:20Beautiful!
00:27:20Nice!
00:27:23Come on, you!
00:27:28That was awesome, man.
00:27:29So good, man.
00:27:30Oh my gosh, you suck!
00:27:34Gentlemen, that was so well done by both of you.
00:27:37Houston, you had so much character and warmth in your delivery.
00:27:41I love 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.
00:27:48And he gave a little smile, like, yeah.
00:27:51Yeah.
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, and 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 about the fact that this all has to do with
00:28:23the joy of singing, and 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.
00:28:53From 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.
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.
00:29:16And 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, but the time has come.
00:29:24Who is the winner of this knockout?
00:29:26You're both equally as gifted, but 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.
00:29:37Houston versus JW was really hard.
00:29:42JW was a little bit more comfortable, even in the in-between moments when he wasn't performing.
00:29:47It's pretty tough this season because in the knockouts, usually there's a save,
00:29:50maybe 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, you've worked with them a couple of times to where you
00:29:57really 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, all day long.
00:30:08Look at, where are the people I saw on the street today?
00:30:11Who said they were coming to the boys?
00:30:13There you are.
00:30:15I was walking from school to my office.
00:30:18They were like, we'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 and 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.
00:30:42John, 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.
00:30:59And then after that, I was like, I'm changing my style up.
00:31:02And your name.
00:31:02I used to sell it at my little shows in 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, I 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, you know, fabulosity.
00:31:43So, wow.
00:31:44Manwork.
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 going to do it.
00:31:52Hey.
00:31:54Hello.
00:31:55What's up?
00:31:58It was amazing to walk in and see CeeLo as the mega mentor.
00:32:01CeeLo, man.
00:32:02Great to meet you, brother.
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.
00:32:16Nah.
00:32:17I am singing You Give Good Love by Whitney Houston.
00:32:21Tell me why I chose a song.
00:32:22Because her songs was some of the songs that 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, she used to put me in like different talent shows.
00:32:36She was like, hey, if you win, we could go get a burger.
00:32:41Okay, that was what I was excited about.
00:32:46She paved the way for 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 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.
00:33:00All right.
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, 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 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.
00:33:49This one song introduced her to the whole world.
00:33:52Was this first?
00:33:53And she did it in one take.
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.
00:34:09You 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.
00:34:22All right.
00:34:23Alexia, 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.
00:34:32An anthem song everybody wants to sing when it comes on.
00:34:34I love Jacob Dillon.
00:34:35I 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.
00:34:46I 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.
00:34:59You 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 got to win or go home.
00:35:18I love the choice.
00:35:19Let's do it.
00:35:25I know I ain't the same.
00:35:27Man, Bey's been the big surprise coming late in the game.
00:35:29I love his voice.
00:35:32He looks good, sounds good, pulls 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,
00:35:51to not overdo it.
00:35:52It means sit right in the pocket just a bit.
00:35:55You know what I mean?
00:35:55Yeah.
00:35:57Wait, I'm starting to get in.
00:35:59Oh.
00:36:02Starting 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.
00:36:17And.
00:36:19I love that.
00:36:21That one.
00:36:23What do you want to say?
00:36:24Art is what you can get 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, 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?
00:36:44Legend.
00:36:45I'm biased to the guy.
00:36:46He's my dude, man.
00:36:47Poomy world.
00:36:47Of course, he's biased.
00:36:49We started this.
00:36:57Get ready for this, y'all.
00:37:02With You Give Good Love, here's Alexia J.
00:37:13I found out what I've been missing.
00:37:19Oh, my God.
00:37:21Always on the run.
00:37:25Stop.
00:37:25I've been looking for someone.
00:37:33Yes.
00:37:35Ooh, that you give good love to me, baby.
00:37:41So good.
00:37:44Take this heart of mine.
00:37:45If you give good love to me, never to my love.
00:37:59Baby, you give good love.
00:38:04Oh, my God.
00:38:06Ooh, I know her.
00:38:09I can't stop looking around.
00:38:15It's not what we've left on the bus.
00:38:22Our love is here to stay, to stay.
00:38:27Ooh, you can't go on.
00:38:31Oh, baby, so good.
00:38:38Take this heart of mine.
00:38:40See, you give good love to me.
00:38:47Love to my heart.
00:38:53Baby, you give good love.
00:38:57No, no, no.
00:39:00Baby, you give good love.
00:39:07Baby, you give good love.
00:39:16Yeah!
00:39:18She's so good.
00:39:20Yes, beautiful.
00:39:22Jeez.
00:39:23Sing, Lexi.
00:39:24Sing, girl.
00:39:25She's so cool.
00:39:26Yeah.
00:39:27Yeah.
00:39:36Welcome back to The Knockouts.
00:39:43Now with one headlight, here's Bay Simpson.
00:39:50Let's go, Bay.
00:39:52Hey!
00:39:52So long ago, I don't remember when.
00:39:56That's when they say I lost my only friend.
00:40:00They say she died easier from broken heart disease.
00:40:05Cause I listened to the cemetery trees.
00:40:12Oh, yeah.
00:40:16Hey!
00:40:19Come on, child.
00:40:21Nothing is forever.
00:40:23This 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 a warm headlight
00:40:45I'm so old and I feel just like somebody else
00:40:50Man, I ain't changed, but I know I ain't the same
00:40:55Somewhere here in between these city walls of dying trains
00:41:00I think her death must be killing me
00:41:07Oh, hey, hey, hey
00:41:13Come on, try to live, nothing is forever
00:41:17There's got to be something better than in the middle
00:41:22Me and Sarah, we'll put it all together
00:41:26We can drive it home
00:41:28With a warm headlight
00:41:37With a warm headlight
00:41:40With a warm headlight
00:41:46Yeah!
00:41:51Yeah!
00:41:52Yeah!
00:41:54Yeah!
00:41:54Yeah!
00:41:54Oh, yeah!
00:41:55Congratulations, both of you.
00:41:56Bae, I'm going to start with you.
00:41:57I love that song so much.
00:41:58It took 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, like you're so cool because you don't try to be cool.
00:42:10Alexia, you are literally so good.
00:42:15It is like if Whitney Houston and Lauryn Hill's voices had a baby.
00:42:21I want to say that I hugged you.
00:42:24I want to say that I knew you before.
00:42:26Like, you're so good.
00:42:30I just want to remember this moment for when you were at the Grammys one day and I'm like,
00:42:35I know her.
00:42:37I'm like, oh my gosh.
00:42:38It's so good.
00:42:39Oh, I love it.
00:42:41Like, look, at this point, I 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.
00:42:56A good weird.
00:42:57Music is really in you and it's super cool and weird in all the right ways.
00:43:03Thank you so much.
00:43:04Yes.
00:43:05And Alexia, the Lauryn Hill comment really works for me.
00:43:09There'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.
00:43:38I 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 today.
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.
00:43:58She 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, who 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, and I don't like that.
00:44:25She'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 and now 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.
00:44:55CeeLo's a wizard.
00:44:56Wizard.
00:44:57He's a wild man.
00:44:57You're a wizard, Harry.
00:45:06Welcome back to the Knockouts premiere.
00:45:10When 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. We'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, I'm reminded that Liv's available to steal.
00:45:34Whoa!
00:45:34Immediately!
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 going to 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 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 to sing about, I feel light as a feather.
00:46:11Let's hear it.
00:46:12Life is so much lighter like a feather with you off my mind.
00:46:17I 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 was 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, 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 the 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 so angelic!
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.
00:47:08Oh, 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.
00:47:23If you're on The Voice, you'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.
00:47:29It makes you act like a kid.
00:47:32You fit every stereotype.
00:47:35Send a pic.
00:47:36I don't know.
00:47:37Yeah.
00:47:38Since 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.
00:47:44Because 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.
00:47:58Hey.
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 brought 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 spread my wings and I 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.
00:49:29I 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.
00:50:07Thank you ladies so much.
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 steal 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 needs to be the best I've ever performed this song.
00:50:33They look so cool.
00:50:34This is really hard.
00:50:36Mm-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, swinging round revolving doors.
00:51:37Maybe I don't know where they take me.
00:51:42Gotta keep moving on, moving on.
00:51:45Fly away, break away.
00:51:54No, it's not easy to tell you goodbye.
00:52:01Make a change and break away.
00:52:07I know the darkness and into the sun.
00:52:13And I won't forget the place I come from.
00:52:25Take a risk, take a chance, make a change and break away.
00:52:34Make a change and break away.
00:52:45Yeah.
00:52:47How beautiful.
00:52:58Welcome back to The Knockouts.
00:53:01Yeah.
00:53:02Let's go.
00:53:08With Feather, here's Abigail Oakley.
00:53:16Feels so good, not caring where you are tonight.
00:53:23Oh.
00:53:25And it feels so good, not pretending to light that you like.
00:53:32I slam the door, I hit ignore, I say yeah, no, no, no more
00:53:41I got you blocked, excited to never talk, I, I'm so sorry for your loss
00:53:50I feel so much lighter like a feather with you off my mind
00:53:58Flooding through the memories of whatever you're a waste of time
00:54:06I'm shaking all the mix, you act like
00:54:09You fit every stereotype, send a pic
00:54:14I feel so much lighter like a feather with you out my life
00:54:21With you out my life
00:54:30You want me, I'm done, you miss me, no, no
00:54:35Where I'm at, I'm up, I'm up, I'm up on stage at The Voice right now
00:54:49I feel so much lighter like a feather with you off my mind
00:54:55I feel so much lighter like a feather with you off my mind
00:55:03Oh, I feel so much lighter like a feather with you off my mind
00:55:20So cool!
00:55:23Oh my God!
00:55:25Wow!
00:55:27Wow!
00:55:30Wow!
00:55:30Abigail, I don't know that song very well
00:55:32So some of the melodies, they were like, oh wow, it's really difficult 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
00:55:52Especially at the end with those big chest voice notes that we were hitting
00:55:56It felt urgent enough to convince me that Liv should go to the next round if I were to do
00:56:00it
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
00:56:11So I'm blown away
00:56:12You chose Kelly's song to sing in a moment where you had the power to choose
00:56:16And that's a big statement
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
00:56:25And that means that you are doing what is necessary to 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
00:56:40And 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
00:56:56What's exciting to me
00:56:59Is 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?
00:57:09Regardless 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
00:57:20Is Liv
00:57:23Liv, Sierra, congratulations
00:57:25You're moving on to the top nine for Drew 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, Breakaway
00:57:35She made it a competition song
00:57:36It's so nerve-wracking up there
00:57:38She's so good
00:57:39Now, Liv is in the semifinal
00:57:41So, I'll write, I'll write
00:57:42That song's like Piano Man
00:57:44Except that whole, it's like the waltzy
00:57:46That's what I mean
00:57:47She made it a competitive song
00:57:49It was impressive
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
00:58:24What'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's super cool
00:58:46Like a really pronounced lounge singer
00:58:49Extraordinerous
00:58:52A lounge may be a smaller stage
00:58:54But the crowd that's gathered around
00:58:57It's 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, when 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
00:59:20Ooh-hoo, yeah, 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
00:59:33Ooh
00:59:33Feels 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
00:59:41I love it
00:59:42Thanks so much, y'all
00:59:43Thank you
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, I 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, you know?
01:00:06Can't wait to hear it
01:00:07Oh, tell me you love me
01:00:10I need someone
01:00:13On days like this I do
01:00:16Syd, 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 Syd'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
01:00:44I'm so impressed, effective immediately
01:00:47So good
01:00:48Thank you
01:00:49Your challenge is how to channel your own story
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 much
01:01:01I have keepsakes for the both of you
01:01:03Oh my gosh
01:01:04Oh my gosh
01:01:05Syd and Natasha
01:01:06Very stylistically different
01:01:08But each of them can be amazing in their own space
01:01:11You got 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
01:01:18Oh
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
01:01:26Yes
01:01:28Let's go, Syd
01:01:32All right, Syd
01:01:34Now with Tell Me You Love Me, here's Syd Millivoy
01:01:51Oh no, here we go again
01:01:54Fighting over what I said
01:01:57I'm sorry
01:01:58Yeah, I'm sorry
01:02:01And all my friends
01:02:04And 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
01:02:13Oh 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
01:02:36Oh can you hear my heart say yeah
01:02:39Yeah, yeah
01:02:42You ain't nobody
01:02:45You ain't nobody
01:02:45Till you're not somebody
01:02:46You ain't nobody
01:02:47Oh tell me you love me
01:02:51Oh tell me you love me
01:03:30I know that we will be all right, all right, yeah.
01:03:37Whoo!
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 Blaine.
01:04:11Since you've been gone, I've been hanging around me lately.
01:04:18With my mind in a stale.
01:04:22Jumped in my car, tried to clean my mind.
01:04:26They didn't help me.
01:04:28Guess I'm all messed up, baby.
01:04:32Soon 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.
01:04:56Wrecking my brain like crazy.
01:04:59Guess I'm all torn, 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, darling.
01:05:25Only takes one note from our radio.
01:05:29Just to deny the lonely love song.
01:05:35Just to deny the lonely love song.
01:05:38Hey, I'm like crazy.
01:05:44I'm all torn, being fast or slow.
01:05:51It doesn't let go or shake me.
01:05:56It's all because of you.
01:06:04I'm all torn, being fast or slow.
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.
01:06:23Thank you. Thanks.
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 will lean towards Sid on this one.
01:07:00Natasha.
01:07:01I 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,
01:07:23that'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.
01:08:03Tough choice for you, John, but the time has come.
01:08:06Who is the winner of this knockout?
01:08:12The winner of this knockout...
01:08:16is 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!
01:08:48Yeah!
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.
01:09:20We built this city.
01:09:21We 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, guys?
01:09:26Am I putting Mike and Jeremy together?
01:09:28Because I know that for them to get far in this competition, they're going to have
01:09:31to get through each other.
01:09:33I bought you all a present.
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.
01:09:47My pleasure.
01:09:47CeeLo knows what it takes to win.
01:09:49Mike's brand new here.
01:09:51Yes, 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.
01:10:19I 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 received 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.
01:11:28But you missed Tammy.
01:11:30You're reading my mind.
01:11:31It's like peanut butter, no jelly.
01:11:32Without that support, it does need too much of a gaping hold.
01:11:38And those runs, those are your moments.
01:11:40And so you want to carry that run over.
01:11:43Then it overshoots the mark of where the hook should come back in
01:11:46because that's the satisfaction.
01:11:49Adam, show you again.
01:11:49We're good with the BGVs.
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 sketch in the beginning
01:11:57because 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,
01:12:06I 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.
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 music will always be playing in
01:12:43the background.
01:12:43His 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 unique.
01:12:56Yeah, it's very unique.
01:12:57It's this beast of a vocal tone.
01:12:59Ooh.
01:13:02Ooh.
01:13:05Ooh.
01:13:05Ooh.
01:13:05That's what I'm hoping that he realizes in himself.
01:13:08That quality.
01:13:09To be the king of the jungle.
01:13:11Yeah.
01:13:13All 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 with
01:13:24you.
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.
01:13:37Yeah, exactly.
01:13:38To the center.
01:13:38This audience is your friend.
01:13:40Sing it to them.
01:13:41I guess.
01:13:42Have 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 there.
01:13:51I need some help.
01:13:52Yeah.
01:13:53Where did it go?
01:13:54Man, come on.
01:13:56This 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.
01:14:08Mmm.
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.
01:14:32Mike Steele.
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.
01:14:44Who's with 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.
01:15:04From that moment on, I knew you were the one.
01:15:09You were lucky and we fell in love.
01:15:11We would sit and talk for hours about anything.
01:15:17Baby, you hang up, don't think up.
01:15:20I bought you with my pager and I gave you everything.
01:15:27How you gonna love and leave me now?
01:15:33How you gonna act like that?
01:15:37How you gonna 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.
01:15:59I thought we'd give up on.
01:16:02I was a player and I made the choice to give my heart to you.
01:16:17How you gonna act like that, baby?
01:16:21How you gonna treat me so wrong?
