00:00:05All right, ready?
00:00:06I'm rolling, baby.
00:00:07In action.
00:00:07In action.
00:00:10Where is he?
00:00:11I love you, CeeLo Green.
00:00:16Welcome home, honey.
00:00:17The mega mentor in the knockouts for Team Adam and Team Legend is the OG original coach
00:00:21of The Voice, CeeLo Green.
00:00:23Come to me.
00:00:23He's got wisdom.
00:00:24Pearls of wisdom.
00:00:25I got to work with Michael Bublé, whom I love.
00:00:28Do you need a cape?
00:00:30Mega mentor?
00:00:31I feel very powerful right now.
00:00:33I am so excited for the knockouts.
00:00:35Let's go!
00:00:36You're really seeing artists blossom.
00:00:38Oh my god!
00:00:40A trip to the semifinals is on the line.
00:00:43There's no steal and save.
00:00:44It's like Hunger Games.
00:00:46I actually love nothing about knockouts.
00:00:47I hate seeing people go home, man.
00:00:49If it's this hard for you, just think about how hard it is for me.
00:00:51No, that's horrible.
00:00:52This is horrible.
00:00:55This season, we're doing something we've never done before.
00:00:57Our first all-star showdown.
00:01:00Oh, wow.
00:01:01Suspenseful.
00:01:02Not only is CeeLo the mega mentor, but he's going to decide who the winner of our all-star
00:01:07showdown is.
00:01:09The lowdown on the showdown is...
00:01:14The knockouts start right now.
00:01:17I'm ready.
00:01:17Knockout.
00:01:18Get it?
00:01:19Knockout.
00:01:24Welcome back.
00:01:25It's so good to have you here.
00:01:26Thanks for having me.
00:01:27Great to be here.
00:01:28Mr. CeeLo Green.
00:01:29I've been a fan of him for decades now, and I'm just so happy he's here.
00:01:33I think our relationship hits back about 20-plus years.
00:01:37Yeah.
00:01:38Remembering how you used to do it.
00:01:39He knows how coaching is supposed to be done on this show.
00:01:41So good to have you, sir.
00:01:43Thanks for having me.
00:01:43You know, you guys started something that's been around now for 29 seasons.
00:01:48Some great time that comes through here.
00:01:49Absolutely.
00:01:50Feels really good.
00:01:51It feels strange and wonderful.
00:01:52Strange and wonderful.
00:01:54I love that.
00:01:55And we're going to have some fun with these artists.
00:01:57I'm killing it right now.
00:01:58Nah, I have more finesse when I do it.
00:02:00Lucas and Moses, I feel like they both kind of have a similar thread of, like, soulfulness.
00:02:06I got one steal from Team Adam.
00:02:08Oh!
00:02:09We got a steal!
00:02:11Moses, certain people just have a light.
00:02:12So I was like, I can't let him go home.
00:02:14And then Lucas, his specialty is doing those great pop, piano, singer, songwriters.
00:02:20I love him either.
00:02:21Let's do it.
00:02:23Hello, gentlemen.
00:02:24Oh!
00:02:25Oh!
00:02:26You see that?
00:02:27Stop playing with him!
00:02:27You see that reaction?
00:02:29Stop it!
00:02:30We got a mega mentor!
00:02:31One of our OGs!
00:02:33When I walked in and saw CeeLo Green, I lost it!
00:02:37I'm so lucky to have even shared space in orbit with this guy.
00:02:40I have to tell you, this is a full-circle moment where you did Selma Glory.
00:02:45Uh-huh.
00:02:45You did a tri-state area run, and I was contracted as one of the singers.
00:02:49Oh, amazing!
00:02:50About 10 years ago, I had the opportunity to sing Backbone for John Legend for his promo for the song
00:02:56Glory from the movie Selma.
00:02:57I always wondered what that would be like to work more closely with him.
00:03:00This opportunity to work with him is like a dream come true.
00:03:02I'm glad you got to sing with me then, and then Lucas.
00:03:06I'm so glad you're here in the knockouts.
00:03:07We're going to have a lot of fun.
00:03:08My pleasure to be here.
00:03:09I'm going to meet you both, man.
00:03:10So, what have you chosen?
00:03:12I'm singing Let's Get It On by one of the kings of Soul, Marvin Gaye.
00:03:17Marvin meant a lot to me.
00:03:19I'm excited to hear you cover this song.
00:03:21Growing up in my household, the only music that was allowed was gospel music.
00:03:26I have vivid memories of hearing this song outside of my window in Harlem.
00:03:31This song is one of the most iconic songs from that first...
00:03:35Everybody knows what comes next.
00:03:37I've been really trying, baby.
00:03:40I'm like, see the whole way.
00:03:42Trying to hold back...
00:03:43Moses has gotten better each time I've heard him.
00:03:46So long.
00:03:48And if you feel...
00:03:50He's delivering it with passion and electricity, all the things you want.
00:03:56Yeah!
00:03:57Hey, he sang that song.
00:03:59So, brother, it sounded like you were inspired by a couple of the live renditions of Let's Get It On.
00:04:05Yeah.
00:04:06That's my wheelhouse.
00:04:07He was singing along the whole time.
00:04:08Yeah, yeah.
00:04:09Now, think about how to command the stage with your physical energy.
00:04:16Right now, it feels like you're a little frenetic.
00:04:19Okay.
00:04:19You got to be that bridge between both versions of Marvin.
00:04:22Yeah.
00:04:23Even that recording, it sounded like it was live and in the moment.
00:04:25But you can compose yourself because it may be a bit much when it's the only song that you're going
00:04:30to sing.
00:04:31But then, by the end, you're begging.
00:04:33So, it's like, let it build to that.
00:04:35That last, come on, get on your knees.
00:04:37Ah, come on, come on.
00:04:39I don't want to get it on.
00:04:41Yeah.
00:04:42Yeah.
00:04:42Yeah.
00:04:42Yeah.
00:04:43Go for it.
00:04:43That's the first rule, man.
00:04:44Don't show no shine.
00:04:47Give us a journey physically because you're, I think, vocally giving us a great journey.
00:04:51Awesome.
00:04:52That means so much.
00:04:53Thank you, John.
00:04:53Being here in the Knockouts really feels like I've made it far.
00:04:57No more steals.
00:04:58No more saves.
00:04:59It's winter go home.
00:05:00Lucas, I love that the keyboard is back out.
00:05:03What are you doing?
00:05:03I'm doing New York State of Mind by Billy Joel.
00:05:06Come on.
00:05:08The song's about how Billy was super nostalgic about New York because he lived in L.A. for three years
00:05:13and he was really homesick singing New York State of Mind.
00:05:16It really kind of helps me cure that homesickness I'm feeling right now.
00:05:20I miss my buddies.
00:05:21I miss my dog and my sister.
00:05:23I actually took a gap semester from college to be here, so I feel like that really dials up the
00:05:27pressure.
00:05:28I want to prove to John that I'm the guy you want for the top nine.
00:05:33All right, let's hear it.
00:05:35Some folks like to get away, take a holiday from the neighborhood.
00:05:41Come on.
00:05:42Lucas had beautiful choices, beautiful runs.
00:05:46Yeah.
00:05:47He's really soulful.
00:05:48And that piano playing.
00:05:49See?
00:05:50Oh.
00:05:50I love the unassuminess.
00:05:52That's the charm of the voice.
00:05:54You just have to be open, optimistic, and ready for your miracle.
00:05:57And that's the way I've received him today.
00:05:58I was like, okay, this is a good one.
00:06:03Playing that thing.
00:06:04All right.
00:06:04Woo!
00:06:06Wow.
00:06:07That's so much fun.
00:06:08He's doing all this work on the keys because you have so much style as a vocalist.
00:06:11I want you to be able to have that same intentionality vocally while you're playing.
00:06:16But maybe some moments have a little more tenderness.
00:06:18I agree with you because the virtuosity, it's almost like you don't even have to think about
00:06:22playing the piano.
00:06:23That's your strong suit.
00:06:24Billy Joel is one of my all-time favorites.
00:06:27But I noticed when he performs, he's not really playing to the crowd.
00:06:30So I don't know if you could maybe lose yourself in that sum.
00:06:34You can really close your eyes and just sing that record like, oh, take that.
00:06:38Give me some of that rough around there, that New York under the street like doo-wop type.
00:06:42I got to bring it out.
00:06:43Yeah, man.
00:06:45Come on up, Moses.
00:06:46Lucas has incredible skills.
00:06:48I'm shook.
00:06:49And I feel even more urgency to bring my A game.
00:06:52I have messages for you guys.
00:06:54Yo.
00:06:55I'm looking at CeeLo's jacket.
00:06:56I'm like, what's in all those pockets, man?
00:06:58How many pockets you got on that thing?
00:07:00Pockets for everybody.
00:07:03It's going to be really hard to decide between them because they're both like right in that
00:07:07same level of quality and beauty and skill.
00:07:13Every act of creation is first an act of destruction.
00:07:17All right, now.
00:07:17What do we got, Lucas?
00:07:19Art is a lie that makes us realize truth.
00:07:21All right.
00:07:22Moses, since you're new to Team Legend, you also get another gift.
00:07:24Oh, like my jacket?
00:07:25Yeah.
00:07:26I'm happy I don't have to do it.
00:07:27Oh, man.
00:07:28I'm happy I'm helping you be able to do it a little bit better.
00:07:32Yes.
00:07:32But yeah, I know that it's difficult.
00:07:34This is the hardest part.
00:07:35Yeah.
00:07:36And you can't fake it.
00:07:37Yeah.
00:07:38They're going to make it hard for me.
00:07:41Let's go!
00:07:43Lucas!
00:07:44I love him.
00:07:45He's great.
00:07:46I love Moses, too.
00:07:46This is going to be very close.
00:07:48I don't know what I'm going to do yet.
00:07:50Oh, no.
00:07:51Go, Moses!
00:07:52Now singing Let's Get It On, here's Moses G.
00:08:02I've been really trying, baby.
00:08:07Trying to hold back this feeling for so long.
00:08:13And if you feel like I feel, baby, then come on.
00:08:20Oh, come on.
00:08:22Yeah!
00:08:23Let's get it on.
00:08:26Oh, baby.
00:08:28Let's get it on.
00:08:30Oh, baby.
00:08:33Oh, there's nothing wrong with me loving you.
00:08:42Na-na-na-na-na-na.
00:08:45Hey!
00:08:47Giving yourself to me could never be wrong.
00:08:51If the love is true, oh, baby.
00:08:57Hey!
00:08:58Hey!
00:08:58Yeah!
00:08:59Yeah!
00:09:00You know how sweet and wonderful your life can be
00:09:09Oh, I know that you, baby, you're gonna love me
00:09:16Oh, so come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, darling
00:09:24Stop being around the bush
00:09:30Oh, 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 is wrong
00:09:44If the spirit moves you, let me groove you
00:09:47Oh, let your love come down
00:09:50If you believe in love
00:09:55Let's get it on
00:10:00Oh, let your love come down
00:10:09That's bad
00:10:12Yeah, Moses
00:10:14Go, Moses
00:10:16It's Piano Man time
00:10:46With New York State
00:10:47Oh, let's go, Miami Beach
00:10:48Oh, what a honeymoon
00:10:53But I'm taking a Greyhound on a Hudson River line
00:11:02I'm in a 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
00:11:38The Daily News
00:11:44It comes down
00:11:45It 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
00:11:54Oh, I'm in a side
00:11:59But I don't have any reasons
00:12:02I've left them all behind
00:12:07Okay
00:12:09And he can play
00:12:11Cause I'm in a New York state of time
00:12:22Oh
00:12:23Oh
00:12:32That's bad
00:12:36Yo, he's good
00:12:37That's bad
00:12:38Yeah
00:12:42He makes me so happy
00:12:45Moses, Moses, Moses
00:12:47You cannot do that song
00:12:49Unless you do exactly what you just did
00:12:51You committed, sir
00:12:52That's right
00:12:53That's right
00:12:53That's right
00:12:53Heard your words in my mind when I did it
00:12:56I cannot move the way you were moving on that
00:12:58You got moves like Jagger
00:13:02Ayyyy
00:13:04Ayyyyy
00:13:05Lucas, you were not on my team
00:13:06And I'm still mad about it
00:13:08Stay mad, kid
00:13:09Yeah
00:13:11You just keep getting better and better, dude
00:13:12I mean, this dude really plays
00:13:14That keyboard is not a prop
00:13:15And I love that about you too
00:13:17Thank you so much, man
00:13:18Thank you
00:13:20Moses, you make me so happy
00:13:22I found myself smiling, my face hurt.
00:13:25I love it.
00:13:26Your arms open and you're dancing, you're lost in it.
00:13:28You just love it.
00:13:29Lucas, Billy Joel, if he sees this,
00:13:32like, you just made him proud.
00:13:34That was insane.
00:13:36You have to be able to say,
00:13:38I'm going to 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
00:14:13and 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.
00:15:01Awesome, you killed it.
00:15:02Lucas just had just enough of that extra
00:15:04that 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.
00:15:25This 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 doesn't quite have the same ring as Mega Mentor.
00:15:43Mega Mentor.
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
00:15:51the greatest Mega Mentor I could think of.
00:15:54I love my Bublé.
00:15:56You're so good at this show.
00:15:57You win a lot.
00:15:58I love it, just 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,
00:16:06there's a lot of goodness that comes on it.
00:16:08All right, so up first are my country dudes,
00:16:10who I love.
00:16:11Oh, yeah.
00:16:11This was my first time to really get to work with them,
00:16:13and they're both very different.
00:16:14All right.
00:16:16I put the country boys together.
00:16:18She didn't know what she was getting into.
00:16:20Kelly 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.
00:16:34Oh.
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., he'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, who's starting?
00:17:14Okay, who's starting?
00:17:15Which one?
00:17:15I'll go first.
00:17:16Okay.
00:17:17This round, there's no saves 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.
00:17:33I 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.
00:17:47I 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 that singing could be fun.
00:17:55I'm at school right now because 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 to pay the bills,
00:18:03getting my degree is my ultimate backup plan.
00:18:06This ag building that I'm right next to has taught me so much.
00:18:10I'm currently studying agricultural business.
00:18:12It's a little bit looser than a regular strict business degree
00:18:16because every once in a while I'll wear my overalls to class.
00:18:18I love it.
00:18:20It's been really cool, but 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 that sparkled in your eyes.
00:18:36Houston is this big, beautiful voice country singer.
00:18:40I think he could sing other stuff.
00:18:41I think he could sing rhythm and blues.
00:18:43He could sing rock.
00:18:43He likes soulful and 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 what the words are.
00:19:03Like enunciate a little bit?
00:19:04Enunciate it for us.
00:19:05Tell the story to them.
00:19:07Millions and millions of people watching you,
00:19:09and that is an intimate relationship
00:19:11that you're allowed to have.
00:19:12Yeah.
00:19:13Message-wise, this 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 right now.
00:19:25Even if I knew.
00:19:26The day we met you'd be
00:19:28the reason this heartbreak.
00:19:33Dude!
00:19:33Dude!
00:19:34Come on!
00:19:36Okay.
00:19:37God!
00:19:38That is stronger than the biggest note you could do.
00:19:41Okay.
00:19:41The audience is gonna yell, you know,
00:19:42when you do that.
00:19:43All right!
00:19:44Come on, J-Dubs!
00:19:45All right!
00:19:45I feel like it's nerve-wracking
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 I picked
00:19:54If It Hadn't Been for Love by the Steel Drivers,
00:19:57this kind of song can let me show out
00:20:00a little more of my soulfulness
00:20:01that I haven't really been able to do yet.
00:20:04I love it.
00:20:07I just love the sounds,
00:20:08and the song has a bluegrass flair.
00:20:11It's in the country genre.
00:20:12I think there's always gonna be country roots
00:20:15behind everything I do,
00:20:16just because my accent and the way I talk.
00:20:19I like country music the most
00:20:21because it represents kind of what it feels like
00:20:25to be from South Georgia.
00:20:27And now it's just like I'm thousands of miles away.
00:20:30I've given up a lot of time to be here at work.
00:20:33I've missed a while now.
00:20:36I miss the bread a lot,
00:20:37but I've been eating a lot of bread out here too.
00:20:41The feeling of being able to perform
00:20:44and people enjoying 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.
00:20:57For me, JW is a country star.
00:20:59I love his quick vibrato,
00:21:01his tone, just stylistically,
00:21:02I just dug what he was doing.
00:21:07He just has this undeniable voice.
00:21:09He's one of those classic 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.
00:21:27But if you're doing it on a competition stage,
00:21:28it can get a little monotonous, right?
00:21:30That's the only thing I'm thinking.
00:21:31That's what I've been trying to think of something to do.
00:21:32Lift the tempo.
00:21:34Turn it into a little more kind 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 a competition song.
00:21:41Yeah.
00:21:41I think Kelly's the perfect coach for me
00:21:43because she just has a great presence.
00:21:45She's really warm,
00:21:46but she also, like, knows what she wants.
00:21:49I like it musically,
00:21:50not to stay the same.
00:21:52Yeah, yeah.
00:21:52She's a good leader.
00:21:53Just to have some kind of, like, eh.
00:21:55Yeah, rock it up a little bit.
00:21:56Experiment with that.
00:21:59JW, the dude's tone is insane.
00:22:02I could listen to him sing 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 has true country threats.
00:22:12Yeah.
00:22:13That is a nice place to be.
00:22:14Yeah.
00:22:14I love both songs.
00:22:15You couldn't be more different,
00:22:17representing different lanes in country music right now.
00:22:19But yet, you both have this soulful grit to you
00:22:22that is so classic.
00:22:23Thank you, Jen.
00:22:23I love both of them.
00:22:24They're both very different singers.
00:22:26What are you going to do?
00:22:27I don't know.
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 the day of,
00:22:32and you choose someone else.
00:22:33It is for me in the moment.
00:22:34Like, whoever does best in the moment,
00:22:36that's who I'm going with.
00:22:37Come on, J.W.
00:22:39Oh, J.W.
00:22:41Let's go, baby.
00:22:42Now with If It Hadn't Been for Love,
00:22:44here is J.W. Griffin.
00:22:54Never would have hitchhiked to Birmingham
00:22:56if it hadn't been for love.
00:22:58I love him.
00:23:00Never would have took the train to Louisiana
00:23:02if it hadn't been for love.
00:23:06Never would have run through the blind air
00:23:09and without one dollar to my name.
00:23:12If it hadn't been, if it hadn't been for love.
00:23:16Yes!
00:23:18Never would have seen the trouble that I've been
00:23:21if it hadn't been for love.
00:23:25Would have been called like a wayward wind
00:23:28if it hadn't been for love.
00:23:31Well, 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
00:23:46against my will
00:23:49At least I know
00:23:52She's alive and sweet
00:23:57Four cold walls
00:24:00And without the road
00:24:04Lord have mercy on my soul
00:24:11Well, never would have been to that side of town
00:24:15if it hadn't been for love.
00:24:16Better be, J.W.
00:24:18Never would have took him out the track
00:24:20Cut down, if it hadn't been for love.
00:24:24Never would have loaded up my .44
00:24:27Put myself behind the jailhouse
00:24:30So if it hadn't been
00:24:31If it hadn't been for love.
00:24:36If it hadn't been
00:24:38If it hadn't been for love.
00:24:43Oh, yeah.
00:24:45Oh, yeah.
00:24:53Yeah.
00:24:55Yeah.
00:25:07Welcome back to The Knockouts
00:25:09at Universal Studios Hollywood.
00:25:13Singing love you anyway
00:25:14here's Euston Kelly.
00:25:16Come on, Euston!
00:25:26If your kids turned me to stone
00:25:32I'd be a statue standing tall in ancient Rome
00:25:38And if your touch shed me like glass
00:25:46I'd be in pieces trying to make the breaking last
00:25:53And if it took one book to turn my days to nights
00:26:00At least I'd have the stars to sparkle in your eyes
00:26:08There's just some things that leave a man of no choice
00:26:15Like a compass need or need and it's true, no
00:26:21Baby, if I knew the day we met you, babe
00:26:25The reason this heart breaks
00:26:29Oh, I'd love you anyway
00:26:39There's just some things that leave a man of no choice
00:26:46Like a compass need or need and it's true, no
00:26:52Even if I knew the day we met you, babe
00:26:56The reason this heart breaks
00:27:01Nice
00:27:02Oh, I'd love you anyway
00:27:07Oh, I'd love you anyway
00:27:15Yeah
00:27:16Beautiful
00:27:17Great job
00:27:18Beautiful job
00:27:20All right
00:27:24Awesome, you
00:27:27You're so awesome, man
00:27:29So good, man
00:27:30Oh, my gosh
00:27:32You suck
00:27:33Gentlemen, that was so well done by both of you
00:27:36Houston, you had so much character and warmth in your delivery
00:27:41I love when you gave that little smile
00:27:43You have the best smile
00:27:44Something about it, you're like, I got there
00:27:46I got to that end of that spot
00:27:47And he gave a little smile like
00:27:51Yeah
00:27:51Yeah
00:27:52J-Dub
00:27:54You don't mind if I call you J-Dub
00:27:55You can call me J-Dub too
00:27:58Your tone is so cool to me
00:28:00I just really love that it's a little nasal
00:28:03In like the perfect way
00:28:04It has a nice crackle to it
00:28:06I could hear it on the radio
00:28:08I would go with J-Dub
00:28:11Thank you
00:28:11I want to start with you, Houston
00:28:12Because I think there's a sense of joy
00:28:14You look, you know, to the left and look to the right
00:28:16And it's almost like you're like
00:28:17Man, I'm here
00:28:18I'm doing this
00:28:19I just want to say thank you for reminding us
00:28:21About the fact that this all has to do with
00:28:23The joy of singing
00:28:24And just excellent job
00:28:27Thank you so much
00:28:28Yeah
00:28:29J-Dub
00:28:31Still sad
00:28:31I thought maybe you were going to go with me in the beginning
00:28:33I thought the same, Adam
00:28:34I really felt like we had a connection
00:28:36And yet
00:28:36I was wrong
00:28:37And yet
00:28:38I am your fan
00:28:39I am coming to your concert
00:28:40I'm buying your t-shirt
00:28:41I'll be in the front row
00:28:43But you both did a great job
00:28:44I'm proud of both of you guys
00:28:46Thank you, coaches
00:28:49Kelly, what a difficult decision
00:28:50Give us some thoughts first, please
00:28:52From rehearsals
00:28:53You both did things that you did not want to do
00:28:56All of a sudden, Houston
00:28:58Did like this falsetto thing
00:28:59And I was like
00:29:00Where the hell did that come from?
00:29:01I was like
00:29:01And he was like
00:29:02Oh, I don't do that on stage
00:29:03I was like
00:29:04Get the hell ready
00:29:07That was nice
00:29:08And the same thing
00:29:09Like, JW
00:29:09We changed your song
00:29:12We were trying to make it competition worthy
00:29:13You weren't afraid to do that
00:29:14Which I really love
00:29:15And what that lets me know
00:29:17Is that you're fearless
00:29:18And that's the exciting thing
00:29:20About working with artists like you
00:29:22Kelly, two great artists
00:29:24But the time has come
00:29:24Who is the winner of this knockout?
00:29:26You're both equally as gifted
00:29:28But I thought one of you
00:29:29Might be a little bit more ready
00:29:31For competition right now
00:29:32The winner of this knockout is JW
00:29:36Thank you
00:29:37Houston versus JW
00:29:38It was really hard
00:29:39Thank you so much
00:29:41JW was a little bit more comfortable
00:29:44Even in the in-between moments
00:29:46When he wasn't performing
00:29:47It's pretty tough this season
00:29:48Because in the knockouts
00:29:49Usually 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
00:29:54But at that point
00:29:56You know, you've worked with them
00:29:56A couple times
00:29:57To where you really get to know them
00:29:58And it's even harder
00:29:59To 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
00:30:05All day long
00:30:08Look at
00:30:09Where are the people
00:30:10I 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
00:30:17To my office
00:30:18And they were like
00:30:18We're going to see you
00:30:19At The Voice today
00:30:20That happened to me
00:30:21One time in New York
00:30:22I was walking home
00:30:23And these women stopped me
00:30:25And they were like
00:30:25I'm coming to your show tomorrow
00:30:26And I was like
00:30:26Well, I'll see you again
00:30:36Welcome back to The Voice
00:30:37Battle of Champions
00:30:42John, I'm signing this morning
00:30:43Oh my god

00:30:46Guys
00:30:47You want to see my actual debut album?
00:30:49What do you mean your actual?
00:30:50This was before I had a record deal
00:30:53Is this for real?
00:30:53This is before I was John Legend
00:30:55Look at your baby face
00:30:57I was still in college
00:30:58And then after that
00:31:00I was like
00:31:00I'm changing my style up
00:31:01And your name
00:31:02I used to sell it
00:31:03At my little shows
00:31:04In Philly and New York
00:31:06I've grown up since then
00:31:07Hey, John Stevens is cool

00:31:55What's up?
00:31:57It was amazing to walk in and see CeeLo as the mega mentor

00:32:05He was an OG voice coach with Adam
00:32:08And he is cool as a cucumber
00:32:10Let's do it
00:32:11Ladies first
00:32:12In the grand tradition
00:32:13No big deal
00:32:14It's a little Whitney
00:32:14Oh, 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 about how you chose the song
00:32:22Because her songs was
00:32:24Some of the songs that my mom made me sing
00:32:26As a kid
00:32:26It's like a full circle moment
00:32:28I believe my mom did see potential in me very early
00:32:31When I was little
00:32:32She used to put me in like different talent shows
00:32:36She was like, hey
00:32:37If you win
00:32:39We could go get a burger
00:32:40I was like, okay
00:32:42That was what I was excited about
00:32:46She paved the way for me musically
00:32:48You did not give up
00:32:50I am so proud of you
00:32:51And so
00:32:51Now I get to sing Whitney
00:32:53On 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
00:32:59I 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
00:33:38Thank you
00:33:38Let me just begin by saying
00:33:40What 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 often enough
00:33:48This was her humble beginning
00:33:49This one song
00:33:50Introduced her to the whole world
00:33:52Was this first?
00:33:53And she did it in one tape
00:33:55Of course she did
00:33:56Yeah
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
00:34:02Yeah, the edit doesn't give you the opportunity to slip down into it
00:34:06Because
00:34:08You know how she opens up the record
00:34:10Yeah
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
00:34:22All right
00:34:22Alexia, she's just a powerhouse vocalist
00:34:25That's definitely the most nerve-wracking thing
00:34:27All right
00:34:28I love this song choice
00:34:29I love that he chose Wallflowers
00:34:31One Headlight
00:34:32An anthem song
00:34:33Everybody wants to sing when it comes on
00:34:34I love Jacob Dillon
00:34:35I love the Wallflowers
00:34:36I like the fact that he was
00:34:38Very singer-songwriter
00:34:40But it's also rock and roll
00:34:41Hell yeah
00:34:41This song is about figuring out
00:34:43Life's toughest moments
00:34:44While trying to hold on
00:34:45I do know what it feels like
00:34:47To hold on tight to my dreams
00:34:49Through hard times
00:34:50Nothing could have prepared me
00:34:52For how difficult and 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 after I moved to Nashville
00:35:03You know, I was broke
00:35:04But you know, I just kept at it
00:35:06I got my first cut as a songwriter
00:35:09It proved that I can hang
00:35:11Now to be here in the knockouts
00:35:13No more steals
00:35:14No more saves
00:35:15It's definitely getting real
00:35:16Gotta win or go home
00:35:18I love the choice
00:35:19Let's do it
00:35:20I feel just like somebody else
00:35:23Man, I hate change
00:35:24But I know I ain't the same
00:35:27Man, Bae's been the 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 and total cool
00:35:39I can tell in the way you sing
00:35:41That you have a really great understanding
00:35:43Of rock and roll music
00:35:44Do you have a quintessential cool about you?
00:35:47I think the hardest part for me was
00:35:49When you get to that high point in the song
00:35:51To not overdo it
00:35:52I mean, sit right in the pocket
00:35:54Just a bit
00:35:54You know what I mean?
00:35:56Yeah
00:35:57Wait, I'm starting to get a
00:35:59Oh
00:36:01I'm starting to get a
00:36:02Oh, 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
00:36:17I love that
00:36:20That 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
00:36:32When I think about it
00:36:34I hate these decisions
00:36:35But this one's going to be especially tough
00:36:37Amazing, you guys
00:36:38Dude
00:36:38You got an ace
00:36:39I want to give it to you early
00:36:41How you feel about that other team?
00:36:42Let's see
00:36:44Legend
00:36:44I love the guy
00:36:45I'm biased to the guy
00:36:46He's my dude, man
00:36:47Of course he's biased
00:36:48We started this
00:36:50Yeah
00:36:55Look at you, sir
00:36:57Get ready for this, y'all
00:36:59Yeah

00:39:16Yeah
00:39:17Yeah
00:39:19She's so weird
00:39:20Yeah
00:39:20Oh, my gosh
00:39:21Beautiful
00:39:21Jeez

00:39:25She's so cool
00:39:26Yeah
00:39:27Yeah
00:39:36Welcome back to the Knockouts
00:39:42Now with one headlight
00:39:44Here's Bay Simpson
00:39:50Let's go, baby
00:39:52So long ago
00:39:53I don't remember when
00:39:56That's when they say
00:39:57I lost my only friend
00:40:00They say she died easy
00:40:02Of a broken heart disease
00:40:05Cause I listened to the cemetery trees
00:40:16Hey, come on, child
00:40:20Nothing is forever
00:40:23There's got to be something better than in the middle
00:40:27It's got to be something better than in the middle
00:40:27It's me and sit around
00:40:29And put it all together
00:40:31We can drive it home
00:40:36With one headlight
00:40:39With one headlight
00:40:44I'm so long
00:40:47And I feel just like somebody else
00:40:50Man, I ain't changed
00:40:52Man, I ain't changed
00:40:52But I know I ain't the same
00:40:55Somewhere here in between these city walls
00:40:58With dying dreams
00:41:00I think her death
00:41:01That must be killing me
00:41:06Oh
00:41:08Eh
00:41:10Hey
00:41:13Come on, child
00:41:14Nothing is forever
00:41:17There's got to be something better than in the middle
00:41:22Be a gingerbread
00:41:24But put it all together
00:41:26We can drive it home
00:41:28We'll walk in the night.
00:41:37We'll walk in the night.
00:41:40We'll walk in the night.
00:41:46Yeah!
00:41:51You did it.
00:41:52You did it.
00:41:53Oh, man.
00:41:54Oh, congratulations, 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.
00:42:04Mm-hmm.
00:42:05You're so understated.
00:42:06Like, you're so cool because you don't try to be cool.
00:42:11Alexia, you are literally so good.
00:42:15It is like if Whitney Houston and Lauryn Hill's voices had a baby.
00:42:22I 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.
00:42:34And I'm like, I 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.
00:42:52Alexia, I 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.
00:43:00And 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.
00:43:08There's something about that vibe.
00:43:11It's got grit, you know, soulfulness.
00:43:14And I love the style, too.
00:43:16You're giving a little Chaka Khan energy today.
00:43:19Yeah.
00:43:19The choices you're making, it's just all working.
00:43:22Thank you, coaches.
00:43:23All right, Adam.
00:43:24What'd 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 to me.
00:43:47I 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.
00:43:55I feel like I knew that.
00:43:57Oh my God, that's amazing.
00:43:59She is magic.
00:43:59And you are so unique in that way where you can make us feel.
00:44:04You're both fantastic.
00:44:06All right, Adam.
00:44:07Who is the winner of this knockout?
00:44:13I love you both.
00:44:15The winner of this knockout is Alexia.
00:44:20Alexia!
00:44:21There are no saves, no steals.
00:44:22And I don't like that.
00:44:25She'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.
00:44:36I 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.
00:44:56He's a wild man.
00:44:57You're a wizard, Harry.
00:44:59Come on.
00:45:02Don't do it, this is family.
00:45:06Welcome back to the Knockout's premiere.
00:45:10When did I see you last?
00:45:12It's on my show.
00:45:13I hosted your show.
00:45:14Yeah.
00:45:15We're back.
00:45:16All right.
00:45:16OK, so next up is Abigail and Liv.
00:45:19OK.
00:45:20Abigail 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, I'm reminded 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!
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, 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?
00:46:02OK.
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 I feel light as a feather.
00:46:11Let's hear it.
00:46:11Life is so much lighter like a feather
00:46:14with you off my mind.
00:46:16I love Abigail, of course.
00:46:18I think she has such a sweet, lovely tone.
00:46:21It's really angelic.
00:46:22Like a kid, you fit every stereotype, send a pic.
00:46:27She was great.
00:46:28Really great dance.
00:46:29She's good at flipping songs.
00:46:30The song is about letting go of someone
00:46:34who doesn't serve you anymore.
00:46:35I've had my fair share of breakups,
00:46:38but ultimately you get to exactly who you want to be with.
00:46:41When I met Tom, we were both still in college.
00:46:44He's the best.
00:46:45He's a musician as well.
00:46:46Tom is my biggest supporter.
00:46:49It was really effortless.
00:46:50Like two feathers floating together.
00:46:56It's like so angelic.
00:46:58You seemed shy at first in the blinds,
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
00:47:06and 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
00:47:16that 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...
00:47:23You're on The Voice.
00:47:23You're singing this Kelly Clarkson right now.
00:47:25You just want to pinch yourself.
00:47:27This is the best show I've ever seen.
00:47:30You act like a kid.
00:47:32You fit every stereotype.
00:47:35Send a pic.
00:47:37Yeah, since they're going quiet,
00:47:39you 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.
00:47:47I love it.
00:47:48As an artist, Abigail is so unique.
00:47:51The control is insane.
00:47:53She's just so amazing,
00:47:54and 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,
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 with, like, the suckers.
00:48:11Of course, and I ate the sucker.
00:48:12Was it good?
00:48:13You brought a gift and everything?
00:48:14You're such an ass.
00:48:15Uh, I'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 Breakaway by Kelly Clarkson.
00:48:24I will say, this was not one of my favorites to record,
00:48:28but it's one of my favorites to 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, 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
00:48:43And when the rain would fall down
00:48:45Yeah, Liv has a beautiful voice.
00:48:47She has great control.
00:48:48It seems pretty effortless for her.
00:48:50I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
00:48:54And if she's this good at 16,
00:48:56I can't even imagine what this girl is gonna sound like
00:48:59when she's 18, 19, 20.
00:49:00I mean, already great.
00:49:02Yeah.
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 as genuine and honest as you can be.
00:49:13Present, yeah.
00:49:14It's a gorgeous song
00:49:15and if this message really does mean something to you,
00:49:17Yeah.
00:49:17It'll serve you well.
00:49:19Knowing that this round we get to pick our songs,
00:49:21it's kind of a breath of relief
00:49:22because this is the song that I feel represents me the most.
00:49:26This song is about stepping out of your comfort zone,
00:49:29pursuing your dreams.
00:49:30I grew up in an average household with, you know, friends and family.
00:49:33We would always talk about homework and school,
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 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 gonna separate you.
00:50:00She's gonna choose one of you.
00:50:02There's no save, there's no steals.
00:50:03If I'm you, I want to make it impossible.
00:50:07Thank you ladies so much.
00:50:07That was so great.
00:50:08Abigail and Liv.
00:50:09The two'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 in front of Kelly.
00:50:18Kelly's super steel artist.
00:50:19I have to use the nerves and turn them into excitement
00:50:21because in this round there are no second chances.
00:50:24Versus Abadale Oakley.
00:50:26I really want to make it to this next round.
00:50:29So this seems to be the best I've ever performed this song.
00:50:33They look so cool.
00:50:34This is really hard.
00:50:36Mm-hmm.
00:50:39Now with break away, here'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
00:51:41Gotta keep moving on
00:51:43Moving on
00:51:45Fly away
00:51:47Break away
00:51:50Break away
00:51:54No, it's not easy
00:51:57No, it's not easy
00:51:57To tell you goodbye
00:52:01Make a change
00:52:05Break away
00:52:07Break away
00:52:09I know the darkness
00:52:10And into the dark
00:52:13And I won't forget
00:52:15The place I can't move round
00:52:24Take a risk
00:52:26Take a chance
00:52:28Take a risk
00:52:30Make a change
00:52:31Break away
00:52:33And break away
00:52:37And break away
00:52:38And break away
00:52:45Yeah!
00:52:47How beautiful!
00:52:50Yeah!
00:52:59How beautiful!
00:53:01Yeah!
00:53:03Let's go!
00:53:05Yeah!
00:53:08With Feather here's Abigail Oakley
00:53:16It feels so good
00:53:19Not caring where you are tonight
00:53:23Oh
00:53:24And it feels so good
00:53:27Not pretending to like the wine that you like
00:53:32I
00:53:34Slam the door
00:53:35I
00:53:36Hit ignore
00:53:37I
00:53:38Say
00:53:39Yeah!
00:53:39No, no, no more
00:53:41I
00:53:42Got you blocked
00:53:44Excited
00:53:44To never talk
00:53:46I
00:53:46I
00:53:47I'm so sorry for your loss
00:53:50I feel so much lighter
00:53:52Like a feather
00:53:53With you off my mind
00:53:55Oh
00:53:58Floating through the memories
00:54:00Like whatever
00:54:01You're a waste of time
00:54:04Woo!
00:54:06I feel pretty
00:54:08You act right
00:54:10You fit every stereotype
00:54:13Send a pic
00:54:14I feel so much lighter
00:54:16Like a feather
00:54:17With you out my life
00:54:21With you out my life
00:54:29All right
00:54:30You're on me
00:54:32I'm done
00:54:33You miss me
00:54:34No, no
00:54:35Where I'm at
00:54:36I'm up
00:54:37I'm up
00:54:37Up on stage
00:54:39Of the Voice right now
00:54:49I feel so much lighter like a feather with you off my mind
00:55:10I feel so much lighter like a feather with you off my mind
00:55:22So cool!
00:55:23Oh my God!
00:55:26Wow!
00:55:29Wow! Abigail, I don't know that song very well, so some of the melodies, they were like, oh wow, it's
00:55:35really 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. You executed it very well.
00:55:43Thank you so much.
00:55:44Liv, it's always tough to pick the song of your coach.
00:55:49Seriously.
00:55:50But I think it was really effective, especially at the end with those big chest voice notes that we were
00:55:55hitting.
00:55:56It felt urgent enough to convince me that Liv should go to the next round if I were Steven.
00:56:02Liv, you know, you're 16. I think about when I was 16 and like, I was so lame. Like I
00:56:08was just not even close to where you are. So I'm blown away.
00:56:12You chose Kelly's song to sing in a moment where you had the power to choose and that's a big
00:56:16statement. Awesome job.
00:56:19Abigail, you really have me feeling and understanding the lyrics. Whenever you can like plug someone into a song like
00:56:25that, that means that you are doing what is necessary to connect us to the music.
00:56:29You both did really great, so I give you no help, really.
00:56:32All right, Kelly, before you tell us who won, what'd you think?
00:56:35Well, I want to lead with Abigail because Sabrina on any song is hard. And the fact, Abigail, that you're
00:56:42doing it in your head voice, it was perfectly executed.
00:56:47That's a very hard thing to do and live. I was like, girl, why are you doing this song? And
00:56:53it's my song. It's not usually a showstopper. What'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?
00:57:10Regardless of who I pick, I do think that you're both special in very different ways.
00:57:19The winner of this knockout is Liv.
00:57:23Liv Sierra, congratulations. You're moving on to the top nine for two, Kelly.
00:57:29It's very hard.
00:57:30Liv is exciting for me because she's 16th and she really impressed me with what she did with my song,
00:57:34Breakaway. She made it a competition song.
00:57:36It's so nerve-wracking up there.
00:57:38Oh.
00:57:38She's so good.
00:57:39Now, Liv is in the semifinal, so I'll ride, I'll ride.
00:57:43That song's like Piano Man.
00:57:44Yeah.
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.
00:57:50It was impressive.
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 Syd is like powerhouse.
00:58:15I'm looking forward to it.
00:58:16Let's go.
00:58:16All right, let's do it.
00:58:18Hello.
00:58:19Hi.
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.
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.
00:58:39So 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,
00:58:57it'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.
00:59:09It 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.
00:59:16There 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 love song wrecking my brain.
00:59:33Ooh!
00:59:34Feels way better.
00:59:34Yeah.
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, 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.
00:59:59So now, when I say Tell Me You Love Me,
01:00:01I'm literally screaming at myself.
01:00:03Yes, I love that.
01:00:03Tell yourself you love you, you know?
01:00:05Yes, I love that.
01:00:06Can't wait to hear it.
01:00:07Oh, tell me you love me.
01:00:11I 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.
01:00:24Oh, 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.
01:00:39You.
01:00:41You.
01:00:44I'm so impressed, effective immediately.
01:00:47So good.
01:00:49Yeah.
01:00:49Your challenge is how to channel your own story into how you deliver this song.
01:00:55Yeah.
01:00:55But other than that, it sounds incredible.
01:00:58Tash, come back over.
01:01:00Yeah.
01:01:00Thanks so much.
01:01:01I have keepsakes for the both of you.
01:01:03Oh, my gosh.
01:01:05Syd and Natasha, very stylistically different, but each of them can be amazing in their own
01:01:11space.
01:01:12Got 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 to see who feels like they belong there and make me get out
01:01:24of my head and just listen with my heart.
01:01:27Yes.
01:01:28Let's go, Syd.
01:01:32I like Syd.
01:01:34Now with Tell Me You Love Me, here's Syd Millivoy.
01:01:44Ooh.
01:01:48Yeah.
01:01:51Oh, no.
01:01:52Here we go again.
01:01:54Fighting over what I said.
01:01:57I'm sorry.
01:01:59Yeah.
01:02:00I'm sorry.
01:02:02Yeah.
01:02:03And all my friends, they know when it's true.
01:02:05I don't know who I am without you.
01:02:08I got it back, baby.
01:02:11I got it back.
01:02:13Don't tell me you love me.
01:02:16I need someone on days like this, I do.
01:02:22On days like this, oh, tell me you love me.
01:02:29I need someone on days like this, I do.
01:02:34On days like this, oh, can you hear my heart say yeah?
01:02:50I need someone on days like this.
01:02:57Oh, she'll tell me you love me.
01:03:03Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
01:03:08There's my knees, oh
01:03:11Can you hear my heart say yeah?
01:03:16Yeah, yeah, yeah
01:03:22Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
01:03:25Everything I need
01:03:28Stand right in front of me
01:03:30I know that we will be
01:03:33All right, all right, yeah
01:03:37Woo!
01:03:41Yeah!
01:03:44Let's go, Natasha!
01:03:55Welcome back to The Knockouts.
01:04:01With another sad love song
01:04:03Here is Natasha Blaine
01:04:11Since you've been gone
01:04:13I've been hanging around
01:04:15Me lately
01:04:17With my mind astray
01:04:21Jumped in my car
01:04:24Tried to clean my mind
01:04:26They didn't help me
01:04:28Guess I'm all messed up
01:04:32Soon as I jumped into my rhyme
01:04:37Memories start to play
01:04:42A song comes on
01:04:45On the radio
01:04:47There you are, baby
01:04:51Once again
01:04:52Once again
01:04:53It's just another sad love song
01:04:56Wrecking my brain
01:04:57Like crazy
01:04:59Guess I'm all torn up
01:05:03Be fast or slow
01:05:06It doesn't let go
01:05:08Or shake me
01:05:13Here come the strings
01:05:17And somebody sings
01:05:20Only takes a beat
01:05:21And then it starts killing me
01:05:24Darling
01:05:25Only takes one note
01:05:27From our radio
01:05:29Just to deny the lonely love song
01:05:41I'm all torn up
01:05:48I'm all torn up
01:05:49Be fast or slow
01:05:51It doesn't let go
01:05:53Or shake me
01:05:56It's all because of you
01:06:07Very nice.
01:06:11Yeah!
01:06:13Yes.
01:06:16Woo!
01:06:18Fantastic.
01:06:19All right.
01:06:21Excellent job, by the way, both 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,
01:07:23that's the only connection I'm missing from you at this point.
01:07:25If you tap into that, girl, you will be unstoppable.
01:07:29Thank you, coaches.
01:07:31All right, John, you got a tough decision coming up.
01:07:33Give us some thoughts first.
01:07:35Natasha, I really liked a lot of the stylistic choices that you made.
01:07:39Thanks.
01:07:39You understand who you are as a vocalist.
01:07:41You just got to lean into that and continue to work on being the best in that lane.
01:07:46Thanks.
01:07:48Sid, I completely agree with what they've been saying about the next level for you.
01:07:53It's so obvious you're one of the most gifted singers we'll ever come across, period.
01:07:57So the next thing is making the audience believe you as an artist.
01:08:02Tough choice for you, John, but the time has come.
01:08:06Who 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.
01:09:18Red, duck, without this city I'm running again.
01:09:24You ready?
01:09:24I'm ready.
01:09:25You ready?
01:09:25We got this.
01:09:26What's up?
01:09:26Am 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 to get through each
01:09:32other.
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.
01:09:40How 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!
01:09:57Being Adam's only steal, like, I feel really, really special.
01:10:02He's so good, bro.
01:10:03I want to show Adam that he did not make a mistake.
01:10:07I'm going to give him my all.
01:10:08Mike, have a seat over there.
01:10:10All right.
01:10:11Taking down a classic?
01:10:12Yes.
01:10:13My guy.
01:10:14I will be singing Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing by Marvin Gaye and Tammy Terrell.
01:10:19I spent a decade singing with Soulful Symphony.
01:10:22It'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.
01:11:00Jeremy has so much more experience than I do.
01:11:03But me and Jeremy both receive a triple chair turn.
01:11:07So it's going to be a really tough knockout.
01:11:13I heard modulation moments, and you're a little bit hesitant.
01:11:18Wherever you're at now, just be there.
01:11:20Don't get too heady about it.
01:11:22I see how you're struggling with dealing with the beginning.
01:11:26First of all, you're saying the crap out of it.
01:11:27But you miss Tammy.
01:11:30You're reading my mind.
01:11:31It's like peanut butter, no jelly.
01:11:32Without that support, it does leave too much of a gaping hold.
01:11:37And 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, we're good with the BGVs too.
01:11:51Okay, great.
01:11:51Let's listen to it with the BGVs now.
01:11:52Okay, great.
01:11:55It was a little bit sketched in the beginning, because I didn't hear background vocals in 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.
01:12:17Oh, Christ is averted.
01:12:20Mike.
01:12:21Hey, Mikey.
01:12:22Mike Steele the Steel.
01:12:24Let me know why you chose this song.
01:12:26This is the type of music I grew up on.
01:12:28I am singing How You Gonna Act Like That by Tyrese.
01:12:31Growing up in Mississippi, the entire family used to meet up at my grandma's house
01:12:35and have everything there from barbecues to fish fries, hosting car games,
01:12:40and Tyrese's music will always be playing in the 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.
01:13:05That's what I'm hoping that he realizes in himself, that quality, to be the king of the jungle.
01:13:11Yeah.
01:13:14All 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 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.
01:13:34Give yourself a little bit more space.
01:13:36You have to look to the right, to your left.
01:13:37Exactly.
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.
01:13:50Steve Brown, I love that.
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.
01:14:09Mmm.
01:14:12Mmm.
01:14:16CeeLo 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.
01:14:29CeeLo gave me the fortune, artist 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 different.
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, and I shook you up.
01:15:04From that moment on, I knew you were the one.
01:15:09I just feel like you were lucky, and we fell in love.
01:15:11We would sit and talk for hours about anything.
01:15:17Baby, you hang up on three, hang 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?
01:15:39We just need to speak love.
01:15:42How you gonna act like that?
01:15:46You know I'm willing to do anything just to keep you in my heart.
01:15:55I 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 you gonna act like that, baby?
01:16:21How you gonna treat me so wrong?
01:16:24Can somebody tell me why, baby?
01:16:36How you gonna trip?
01:16:39How can you forget?
01:16:41How you gonna act like that?
01:16:48How you gonna act like that?
01:17:01Welcome back.
01:17:09With Ain't Nothin' Like the Real Thing, here's Jeremy Keith.
01:17:19Oh, hey, ain't nothin' like the real thing, baby, ain't nothin' like the real thing, no, no, ain't nothin' like
01:17:34the real thing, baby, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:17:41I've got your picture hanging on the wall, but you can't see or come to me when I call your
01:17:48name. I realize you're just a picture in a frame, and I read your letters when you're not here, but
01:17:57they don't move me, and they don't move me like when I hear your sweet voice whispering in my ear.
01:18:09Ooh, ooh, yeah, ain't nothin' like, hey, I play my game of fantasy, but I pretend that I'm not in
01:18:22reality.
01:18:24I need the shelter of your arms to come for me, no other, yeah.
01:18:45Ooh, ooh, yeah, ain't nothin' like the real thing, no, baby, ain't nothin' like the real thing, no, ooh, no,
01:18:57ain't nothin' like the real thing.
01:19:01Real, real, real, real, real, real, real.
01:19:12Let's go, Jennie!
01:19:14Great singer.
01:19:16That's right, yeah.
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.
01:19:42It 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, oh, man,
01:19:53you couldn't find your way 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.
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, you're the better, like, pure singer.
01:20:16And then, Mike, you've got, like, kind of the je ne sais quoi kind of vibe.
01:20:20I think your style is great.
01:20:22Swag.
01:20:22You'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.
01:20:44You have a fantastic voice.
01:20:45We haven't even really seen the full range of what is possible.
01:20:48And in Mike, there's a quality to what you do that's really different.
01:20:51I haven't heard many singers with that tone like yours.
01:20:54That's what was making this all very close, because you're both great singers.
01:20:57Tough decision, Adam.
01:20:58Yeah, it sure is, isn't it?
01:21:00Who is the winner of this knockout?
01:21:01I don't know.
01:21:06This 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.
01:21:16God.
01:21:17The winner of this knockout is Jeremy.
01:21:21Take me now!
01:21:23Jeremy, congratulations.
01:21:24You're moving on to the top nine for Team Adam.
01:21:26The performances in the knockouts have been really good.
01:21:29Jeremy and Mike were really tough because they're both great singers.
01:21:31But going into the top nine, I just need to have the strongest team possible.
01:21:34Man, thank you so much.
01:21:36Jeremy's got an amazing voice that 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.
01:21:50you don't have to eat it, guys.
01:22:13You didn't have to eat it...
