00:00:05All right, ready?
00:00:06I'm rolling, baby.
00:00:07And action.
00:00:07And 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.
00:00:24Got wisdom.
00:00:24Pearls of wisdom.
00:00:25I got to work with Michael BublƩ, whom I love.
00:00:28Do you need a cape?
00:00:30I 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 gosh.
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...
00:01:15The 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.
00:01:50It feels really good.
00:01:51It feels strange and wonderful.
00:01:52Strange and wonderful.
00:01:54Yeah.
00:01:54I love that, and 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!
00:02:10Yeah!
00:02:11Moses, certain people just have a light, so 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?
00:02:27You see that reaction?
00:02:29Stop it!
00:02:30We got a mega mentor, one of our OGs.
00:02:32What's up, bro?
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
00:02:55for the song Glory 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.
00:03:05I'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 want 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.
00:03:15Hey.
00:03:16Marvin Gaye.
00:03:17Marvin meant a lot to me.
00:03:19I'm excited to hear you cover this song.
00:03:22Growing up in my household, the only music that was allowed was gospel music.
00:03:25I 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've been really trying 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 like you...
00:03:50He's delivering it with passion and electricity, all the things you want.
00:03:55Yeah.
00:03:57Hey, sang that song.
00:03:59So, brother.
00:04:00It sounded like you were inspired by a couple of the live renditions of Let's Get It On.
00:04:05Yeah.
00:04:05That's my wheelhouse.
00:04:07He was singing along the whole time.
00:04:08Yeah.
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.
00:04:20You 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
00:04:30you're going to 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.
00:04:39Oh, run again at all.
00:04:41Yeah.
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.
00:04:48Because you're, I think, vocally giving us a great journey.
00:04:51Awesome.
00:04:52That means so much.
00:04:52Thank 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 win or go home.
00:05:00Lucas, I love that the keyboard is back out.
00:05:02What are you doing?
00:05:03I'm doing New York State of Mind by Billy Joel.
00:05:06Come on.
00:05:07The song's about how Billy was super nostalgic about New York because he lived in L.A. for
00:05:12three years and 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.
00:05:19I miss my buddies, I 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
00:05:27up the pressure.
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.
00:05:46Yeah.
00:05:47He's really soulful.
00:05:48And that piano playing, see, oh.
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 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.
00:06:19I agree with you because the virtuosity, it's almost like you don't have to think about playing
00:06:22the piano.
00:06:23That's your strong suit.
00:06:24Billy Joel is one of my all-time favorites.
00:06:26But I noticed when he performs, he's not really playing to the crowd.
00:06:31So 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
00:06:42of line.
00:06:42I got to bring it out.
00:06:43Yeah.
00:06:44Yeah, 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.
00:06:53I 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, CeeLo?
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 like level of like quality and beauty and skill.
00:07:13Every act of creation is first an act of destruction.
00:07:16All right, now, what 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.
00:07:51Come on, Moses.
00:07:52Now singing, let's get it on.
00:07:54Here's Moses G.
00:08:02I've been really trying, baby, trying to hold back this feeling for so long.
00:08:12And if you feel like I feel like I feel, baby, then come on.
00:08:20Oh, come on.
00:08:22Yeah.
00:08:22Woo.
00:08:23Let's get it on.
00:08:26Oh, baby.
00:08:28Let's get it on.
00:08:31Let's love, baby.
00:08:53Hey.
00:08:55Hey.
00:08:55Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:08:57Hey, yeah.
00:08:59Don't you know how sweet and wonderful life can be?
00:09:07Oh, oh, oh.
00:09:10I asked you, baby, to get it on your feet.
00:09:17Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:09:20So come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, darling.
00:09:24Stop it around the bush.
00:09:30Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:09:32Gonna get it on.
00:09:34Back to you, baby.
00:09:36Say, I want to get it on.
00:09:39Say, you don't have to worry.
00:09:42That is wrong.
00:09:44If the spirit moves you, let me groove you.
00:09:48Go, let your love come down.
00:09:50If you believe in love, let's get it on.
00:10:08That's right.
00:10:12Yeah, Moses.
00:10:14What's going, Moses?
00:10:16It's piano man time.
00:10:22With New York State of Mind, here's Lucas West.
00:10:25Lucas!
00:10:38Some folks like to get away.
00:10:41Take a holiday from the neighborhood.
00:10:46I'm a ride to Miami Beach, you're going to Hollywood.
00:10:54But I'm taking a greyhound on a Hudson River line.
00:11:02I'm in a New York State of Mind.
00:11:06I'm in a New York State of Mind.
00:11:07Yeah.
00:11:13It was so easy living day by day.
00:11:20Out of touch with the rhythm and the blues.
00:11:28But now I need a little gift in the New York Times.
00:11:38The Daily News.
00:11:44It comes down to reality
00:11:46And it's fine with me
00:11:49Cause I've let it slide
00:11:51I don't care if it's Chinatown
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
00:12:09Any complaint?
00:12:11Cause I'm in a New York state of time
00:12:22Oh
00:12:32Best guy
00:12:33No, he's good
00:12:37Best guy
00:12:43He 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, that's right
00:12:53Heard your words in my mind when I did it
00:12:56I cannot move the way you were moving on that
00:12:58You got moves like Jagger
00:12:59Hey
00:13:03Hey
00:13:05Lucas, you were not on my team
00:13:06And I'm still mad about it
00:13:08Stay mad, kid
00:13:09Stay mad
00:13:11You just keep getting better and better, dude
00:13:12I mean, this dude really plays
00:13:14That keyboard is not a prop
00:13:15And I love that about you too
00:13:17Thank you so much, man
00:13:18Thank you
00:13:20Moses, you make me so happy
00:13:22I found myself smiling, my face hurt
00:13:25Thank you
00:13:25I love it
00:13:26Your arms open and you're dancing
00:13:27You're lost in it
00:13:28You just love it
00:13:29Lucas
00:13:30Billy Joel
00:13:31If he says this
00:13:32Like, you just made him proud
00:13:33That was insane
00:13:36You have to be able to say
00:13:37I'm going to challenge myself
00:13:38Because I feel like
00:13:39I am worthy of it
00:13:41And I think you need that kind of confidence
00:13:42And attitude to move forward
00:13:43So I would lean a bit more towards Lucas
00:13:45Thank you so much, Kevin
00:13:47Thank you, coaches
00:13:49All right, John
00:13:50Tough decision
00:13:50What did you think of it?
00:13:51Oh, I was so impressed
00:13:53With both of your performances
00:13:55Moses
00:13:55You really have such a beautiful energy
00:13:58You just radiate light
00:14:00And positive energy
00:14:02And that's what people want to feel
00:14:04And want to see
00:14:05Lucas
00:14:05I feel like we saw new things
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
00:14:28Working 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
00:14:48Is Lucas
00:14:50Lucas, congratulations!
00:14:52At this point, everybody's so good
00:14:54So only talented artists
00:14:56Are going to go home
00:14:57It's the conundrum
00:14:58Of making decisions
00:14:59When the competition is so good
00:15:01You killed it
00:15:02Lucas just had just enough
00:15:04Of that extra
00:15:04That I needed
00:15:06To know that he belonged
00:15:07In the semifinal
00:15:08It's really nice to hear from John
00:15:10Hearing your hero
00:15:11Tell you that
00:15:12They believe in you
00:15:13And 100%
00:15:14Is, like, the craziest thing
00:15:15You know
00:15:15I want to call my mom
00:15:17Yo, Lucas
00:15:18He's the truth
00:15:19He might win
00:15:25This is my first time
00:15:27In this position
00:15:27You know that
00:15:28Oh, yeah?
00:15:28Yeah
00:15:29Do you need a cape?
00:15:30Mega mentor?
00:15:31I feel very powerful right now
00:15:33I mean, Michael BublƩ's a nice name
00:15:35But
00:15:35Doesn't quite have the same ring
00:15:38As
00:15:39Mega 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
00:15:49Is I would bring in
00:15:51The greatest mega mentor
00:15:53I could think of
00:15:54I love my BublƩ
00:15:55You're so good at this show
00:15:57You win a lot
00:15:58I love it
00:15:58Just like you
00:15:59Yeah
00:15:59I was built for doing this
00:16:01It is fun
00:16:02If I could be a small part
00:16:03Of helping these artists
00:16:05To grow
00:16:05There's a lot of goodness
00:16:06That comes on it
00:16:07All right
00:16:08So up first
00:16:09Are my country dudes
00:16:10Who I love
00:16:10Oh, yeah
00:16:11This was my first time
00:16:12To 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
00:16:17She didn't know
00:16:19What she was getting into
00:16:19Kelly paired me
00:16:20With J.W. Griffin
00:16:21And J.W. is one of my best buddies
00:16:23And I was like, crud
00:16:25We should do like
00:16:26Scooby-Doo
00:16:27When we walk
00:16:30Let's bring him in
00:16:31Dude, you guys are so handsome
00:16:33What's up?
00:16:34What's up?
00:16:35I'm Michael BublƩ
00:16:36And it's nice to meet you
00:16:37Houston
00:16:37I love Michael BublƩ
00:16:38He's got five Grammys
00:16:39That's a huge deal
00:16:40At any level of artistry
00:16:42I was kind of starstruck
00:16:44J.W.
00:16:45He's won two times
00:16:47He's a champion
00:16:47It's cool to see
00:16:48Another coach
00:16:49That has a history of winning
00:16:51And to get to work with them
00:16:52I'm really
00:16:54Like, sorry
00:16:55Once again
00:16:55This is our first time
00:16:56To technically
00:16:57Get to work together
00:16:58Be gentle with us
00:16:59Please
00:17:00Just so you know
00:17:01There's no steal and save
00:17:02Oh, that's hard
00:17:03That's really hard
00:17:04Yes
00:17:05And this is
00:17:05Y'all pick the song
00:17:06We really want to push you
00:17:07To make this song competitive
00:17:09Because it's really cutthroat
00:17:10It goes from six to three
00:17:11It's like Hunger Games
00:17:13All right, who's starting?
00:17:14Okay, who's starting?
00:17:15Which one?
00:17:15I'll go first
00:17:16Okay
00:17:17This round
00:17:18There's no saves
00:17:19And there's no steals
00:17:19So it's like
00:17:21We're in a big old pressure cooker
00:17:22And that stinks
00:17:23But that's the way competition goes
00:17:25Why'd you pick this song?
00:17:27I look up to Luke Combs a lot
00:17:29A great voice
00:17:30For the knockout round
00:17:31I picked Love You Anyway
00:17:33By Luke Combs
00:17:33I guess it was 2025
00:17:35And he was like
00:17:36Hey, listen
00:17:36I got two young boys at home
00:17:37I'm not going to be on tour
00:17:38All the time
00:17:39I want to be there
00:17:40To watch them grow up
00:17:40A lot of how Luke
00:17:42Tends to be with his family
00:17:44I see that
00:17:44And how my dad was
00:17:45With me growing up
00:17:46And that means a lot
00:17:46I guess the first intro
00:17:48To country music for me
00:17:49Was listening to
00:17:50The Alabama's Greatest Hits CD
00:17:51In my dad's truck
00:17:52That was where I started realizing
00:17:54That singing could be fun
00:17:55I'm at school right now
00:17:57Because eventually
00:17:58I want to be a husband
00:17:59And I want to be a dad
00:18:00And I know that if music
00:18:01Doesn't have the ability
00:18:03To pay the bills
00:18:03Getting my degree
00:18:04Is my ultimate backup plan
00:18:06This ag building
00:18:07That I'm right next to
00:18:09Has taught me so much
00:18:10I'm currently studying
00:18:11Agricultural business
00:18:12It's a little bit looser
00:18:13Than a regular
00:18:14Strict business degree
00:18:16Because every once in a while
00:18:17I'll wear my overalls to class
00:18:18I love it
00:18:20It's been really cool
00:18:21But if I could perform
00:18:23And do music
00:18:23For the rest of my life
00:18:24As a job
00:18:25I don't think I'd work
00:18:26A day in my life
00:18:27And that sounds good to me
00:18:28I'm looking forward to this
00:18:29Let's do it
00:18:30All right
00:18:36Houston is this big
00:18:38Beautiful voice
00:18:39Country singer
00:18:40I think he can sing
00:18:40Other stuff
00:18:41I think
00:18:41Oh yeah
00:18:42He can sing rhythm and blues
00:18:43He can sing rock
00:18:43He's like soulful
00:18:44And so young
00:18:4520
00:18:4620 years old
00:18:46I love this song
00:18:52What a beautiful
00:18:54Sad but beautiful
00:18:56Lyrically
00:18:57It's deep
00:18:58And rich
00:18:58But don't forget
00:19:01To give me
00:19:02What the words are
00:19:02Like enunciate a little bit
00:19:04Yeah
00:19:04Enunciate for us
00:19:05Tell the story to them
00:19:07Millions and millions
00:19:08Of people watching you
00:19:09And that is an intimate
00:19:10Relationship
00:19:11That you're allowed to have
00:19:12You're letting them in
00:19:12Yeah
00:19:12Message wise
00:19:14This is kind of
00:19:15A beautiful turn for you
00:19:17Be tender man
00:19:18Even if I knew
00:19:20That might be
00:19:20A really cool time
00:19:21For your
00:19:22Really beautiful falsetto
00:19:23Do it
00:19:24Right now
00:19:24Even if I knew
00:19:26The day we met you
00:19:28Be
00:19:28The reason this heart breaks
00:19:32Dude
00:19:33Dude
00:19:34Come on
00:19:35Okay
00:19:36Please
00:19:36God
00:19:37That is stronger
00:19:39Than the biggest note
00:19:40You could do
00:19:40Okay
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
00:19:46Nerve wracking
00:19:47Going against Houston
00:19:48He's got a classic
00:19:49Country voice
00:19:50And it's really easy
00:19:51To connect with
00:19:52Tear it up man
00:19:53For the knockouts
00:19:54I picked
00:19:54If it hadn't been
00:19:55For love
00:19:55By the Steel Drivers
00:19:56This kind of song
00:19:58Can let me
00:20:00Show out a little more
00:20:01Of 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
00:20:12Genre
00:20:12I think there's
00:20:13Always gonna be
00:20:14Country roots
00:20:15Behind everything I do
00:20:16Just cause my accent
00:20:17And the way I talk
00:20:18I like country music
00:20:20The most
00:20:21Because it represents
00:20:23Kinda what it feels like
00:20:24To be from South Georgia
00:20:26And 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
00:20:37But I've been eating
00:20:39A lot of bread out here too
00:20:41The feeling of being able
00:20:44To perform
00:20:44And people enjoying it
00:20:45That's what I'm here for
00:20:47I'm not ready for it to end
00:20:48Well let's hear it
00:20:51Never would've hitched
00:20:53To Birmingham
00:20:54If it hadn't been
00:20:55For love
00:20:57For me JW
00:20:58Is a country star
00:20:59I love his quick vibrato
00:21:01His tone
00:21:01Just 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
00:21:11For love
00:21:13Nice
00:21:16Man your voice is so cool
00:21:19Thank you
00:21:19Like it's so effortless
00:21:21My thing I would suggest
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 on a competition stage
00:21:28It can get a little monotonous right
00:21:29That's the only thing I'm thinking
00:21:31I've been trying to think of something to do
00:21:32Lift the tempo
00:21:33Turn it into a little more
00:21:35Kind of rocking thing
00:21:36Yeah yeah
00:21:37Instead of it just kind of chilling
00:21:38Yeah
00:21:39We gotta make this a competition song
00:21:41Yeah
00:21:41I think Kelly's the perfect coach for me
00:21:43Because she just has a great presence
00:21:45She's really warm
00:21:46But she also like
00:21:47Knows 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 have some kind of like
00:21:54Yeah rock it up
00:21:55Yeah
00:21:56Experiment with that
00:21:59J.W., 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
00:22:07We took it to church
00:22:09It's so good
00:22:09I think Kelly's team
00:22:10Has true country threats
00:22:12Yeah
00:22:12That is a nice place to be
00:22:14Yeah
00:22:14I love both songs
00:22:15You couldn't be more different
00:22:17Representing different lanes
00:22:18In country music right now
00:22:19But yet
00:22:20You both have this soulful grit to you
00:22:22That is so classic
00:22:23Thank you, J.W.
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 the day of
00:22:32And you choose someone else
00:22:33It is for me in the moment
00:22:34Like whoever does best in the moment
00:22:36That's what I'm going with
00:22:37Come on, J.W.
00:22:39Oh, J.W
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
00:22:56Ah, I love them
00:22:59I never would have
00:23:01Took the train to Louisiana
00:23:02If it hadn't been for love
00:23:05And never would have
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
00:23:16Yes!
00:23:18I never would have seen
00:23:20The trouble that I'm in
00:23:21If it hadn't been for love
00:23:24Would have been called
00:23:26Like a wayward wind
00:23:28If it hadn't been for love
00:23:30Well, nobody knows it better than me
00:23:34I wouldn't be wishing I was free
00:23:37If it hadn't been for love
00:23:39If it hadn't been for love
00:23:42If it hadn't been for love
00:23:43Four cold walls
00:23:46Against my will
00:23:49At least I know
00:23:52She's alive and still
00:23:57Four cold walls
00:24:00Without the road
00:24:04Lord, have mercy on my soul
00:24:11Never would have been to that side of town
00:24:15If it hadn't been for love
00:24:16Better than B.J.W.
00:24:18Never would have took them
00:24:19On the track her down
00:24:21If it hadn't been for love
00:24:24Never would have loaded up my 44
00:24:27Putting myself behind the jailhouse door
00:24:30If it hadn't been for love
00:24:38If it hadn't been for love
00:25:07Welcome back to The Knockouts at Universal Studios Hollywood.
00:25:13Singing Love You Anyway, here's Houston Kelly.
00:25:17Come on, Houston.
00:25:26If your kiss turned me to stone, I'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 look to turn my days to nights,
00:26:00At least I'd have the stars to sparkle in your eyes.
00:26:08There's just some things that leave a man 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, oh, I'd love you anyway.
00:26:50Nice.
00:26:50I know.
00:26:50I know.
00:26:50I know.
00:26:53I know.
00:26:57I know.
00:27:00I know.
00:27:03I know.
00:27:03Oh, I'd love you anyway.
00:27:07Yeah.
00:27:11Yeah!
00:27:11Oh, I'd love you anyway.
00:27:15Yeah!
00:27:16I love you anyway.
00:27:28That was awesome, man.
00:27:29So good, man.
00:27:30Oh, my God.
00:27:32You 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 loved when you gave that little smile.
00:27:43You're 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.
00:27:50Yeah.
00:27:52J-Dub, you 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 in, like, the perfect way.
00:28:05It has a nice crackle to it.
00:28:07I could hear it on the radio.
00:28:08I would go with J-Dub.
00:28:11I want to start with you, Houston, because I think there's a sense of joy.
00:28:14You look, you know, to the left and look to the right,
00:28:16and it's almost like you're like, man, I'm here.
00:28:18I'm doing this.
00:28:19I just want to say thank you for reminding us about the fact
00:28:22that this all has to do with the joy of singing
00:28:24and just excellent job.
00:28:27Thank you so much.
00:28:28Yeah.
00:28:29J-Dub, it's still sad.
00:28:32I thought maybe you were going to go with me in the beginning.
00:28:33I thought the same, Adam.
00:28:35I really felt like we had a connection.
00:28:36And yet.
00:28:37I was wrong.
00:28:37And yet.
00:28:38I am your fan.
00:28:39I am coming to your concert.
00:28:40I'm buying your T-shirt.
00:28:41I'll be in the front row.
00:28:43But you both did a great job.
00:28:44I'm proud of both of you guys.
00:28:46Thank you, coaches.
00:28:49Kelly, what a difficult decision.
00:28:50Give us some thoughts first, please.
00:28:53From 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.
00:29:15And what that lets me know is that you're fearless.
00:29:19And that's the exciting thing about working with artists like you.
00:29:22Kelly, two great artists.
00:29:24But the time has come.
00:29:25Who is the winner of this knockout?
00:29:26You're both equally as gifted.
00:29:28But I thought one of you might be a little bit more ready for competition right now.
00:29:32The winner of this knockout is JW.
00:29:35JW!
00:29:37Houston versus JW was really hard.
00:29:39Thank you so much.
00:29:42JW was a little bit more comfortable 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, maybe a steal or something like that.
00:29:51There's nothing like that this season.
00:29:52It's the name of the game.
00:29:53It's a competition.
00:29:54I get it.
00:29:54But at that point, you know, you've worked with them a couple of times to where you really get to
00:29:58know them.
00:29:58And it's even harder to see them go home.
00:30:01JW, he's just so good.
00:30:03I want to listen to him sing.
00:30:04It's that simple all day long.
00:30:08Look it.
00:30:09Where are the people I saw on the street today?
00:30:11Who said they were coming to The Voice?
00:30:13There you are.
00:30:15I was walking from school to my office.
00:30:18And they were like, 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.
00:30:23And these women stopped me and they were like, I'm coming to your show tomorrow.
00:30:26I was like, well, I'll see you again.
00:30:27That's right.
00:30:36Welcome back to The Voice, Battle of Champions.
00:30:43Oh my God, you're taking me back.
00:30:46Guys, you want to see my actual debut album?
00:30:49What do you mean your actual?
00:30:50This was before I had a record deal.
00:30:53Is this for real?
00:30:53This is before I was John Legend.
00:30:55Look at your baby face.
00:30:57I was still in college.
00:30:59And then after that, I was like, I'm changing my style up.
00:31:01And your name.
00:31:03I 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.
00:31:22It's good to see you.
00:31:23Good to see you.
00:31:25Welcome home, honey.
00:31:28Two OG voice coaches.
00:31:30So needed.
00:31:30So necessary.
00:31:31Yep.
00:31:32If I get a call from Adam, 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.
00:31:44Yeah.
00:31:45You get it?
00:31:46That's what I'm here to do.
00:31:47You ready for this?
00:31:48I am not.
00:31:50Me neither.
00:31:51We're gonna do it.
00:31:52Hey.
00:31:54Hello.
00:31:55What's up?
00:31:57It was amazing to walk in and see CeeLo as the mega mentor.
00:32:01CeeLo, man.
00:32:02Great to meet you, brother.
00:32:03Oh, you look great today.
00:32:03He's won Grammys.
00:32:05He was an OG voice coach with Adam.
00:32:08And he is cool as a cucumber.
00:32:11Let's do it ladies first 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.
00:32:16No.
00:32:17I am singing You Give Good Love by Whitney Houston.
00:32:21Tell me about why you chose the song.
00:32:22Because her songs was some of the songs that my mom made me sing as a kid.
00:32:27It'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, 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.
00:32:41I was like, okay.
00:32:42That 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, slow.
00:32:59All right.
00:33:00I know she will.
00:33:02Baby, you give good love.
00:33:10Normally, it's a bold move to do Whitney.
00:33:12But there is no singer that Whitney has been better hands with.
00:33:16Alexia is special.
00:33:18I think people are going to be blown away.
00:33:23I want to support it.
00:33:24It's a brave and bold move.
00:33:27And we need more of that type of energy.
00:33:29Yeah.
00:33:30A hundred percent.
00:33:31All right.
00:33:35All right.
00:33:37That was pretty good.
00:33:39Let me just begin by saying what a blessing to be able to hear true talent.
00:33:44It sounded unique.
00:33:45It sounded fresh.
00:33:46We don't hear this song often enough.
00:33:48This was her humble beginning.
00:33:49This 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?
00:34:11Yeah.
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...
00:34:15It throws you in it.
00:34:16So just use all the space so you can really settle in.
00:34:21I could 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, an 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.
00:35:12Now to be here in the knockouts.
00:35:13No more steals.
00:35:14No more saves.
00:35:15It's definitely getting real.
00:35:17Got to 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 ain't changed, but I know I ain't the same.
00:35:27Man, Bae's been the big surprise coming late in the game.
00:35:29I love his voice.
00:35:32He looks good.
00:35:34Sounds good.
00:35:35Pulls it all off.
00:35:36It's a complete and total cool.
00:35:39I can tell in the way you sing that you have a really great understanding of rock and roll music.
00:35:44Do you have a quintessential cool about you?
00:35:47I think the hardest part for me was when you get to that high point in the song, to not
00:35:51overdo it.
00:35:52I mean, sit right in the pocket 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.
00:36:01I'm starting to get in.
00:36:03Oh, I think he's got.
00:36:05I've 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.
00:36:21Got one.
00:36:23What did they 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 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.
00:36:56Look at you, too.
00:36:57Get ready for this, y'all.
00:36:59Yeah.
00:37:01Yeah.
00:37:01Yeah.
00:37:02With You Give Good Love, here's Alexia J.
00:37:13I found out what I've been missing.
00:37:20Oh, my God.
00:37:20I'm always on the run.
00:37:25Stop it.
00:37:26I've been looking for someone.
00:37:33Yeah.
00:37:35Ooh, that you give good love to me, baby.
00:37:41So good.
00:37:44Take this heart of mine into your hand.
00:37:48You give good love to me, never too much.
00:37:56Love.
00:37:59Baby, you give good love.
00:38:06Baby, you give good love.
00:38:06Ooh.
00:38:07Ooh.
00:38:08Now, uh.
00:38:09I can't stop.
00:38:13Looking around.
00:38:15It's not worth what this love's going about.
00:38:22Our love is here to stay, to stay.
00:38:27Ooh, damn, Lord.
00:38:33Baby, so good.
00:38:38Take this heart of mine into your head.
00:38:41You give good love to me, never to my heart.
00:38:53Baby, you give good love.
00:38:59No, no.
00:39:00Baby, you give good love.
00:39:07Baby, you give good love.
00:39:11Baby, you give good love.
00:39:16Yeah!
00:39:18She's gonna win.
00:39:20Yes.
00:39:21Beautiful.
00:39:22Jesus.
00:39:23Sing, Leslie.
00:39:24Sing, girl.
00:39:25You so cool?
00:39:26Yeah.
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!
00:39:53So long ago, I don't remember when.
00:39:56That's when they say I lost my only friend.
00:40:00They said she died easier from broken heart disease.
00:40:05Cause I listened through the cemetery trees.
00:40:12Oh, yeah.
00:40:16Hey!
00:40:19Come on, child.
00:40:21Nothing is forever.
00:40:23There's got to be something better than in the middle.
00:40:28Leave us in the run and put it all together.
00:40:31We can drive it home with one headlight.
00:40:46I'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.
00:40:54There's somewhere here in between these city walls of dying trains.
00:41:00I think her death must be killing me.
00:41:13Come on, child.
00:41:15Nothing is forever.
00:41:18There's got to be something better than in the middle.
00:41:22Be a sinner, man.
00:41:24We'll put it all together.
00:41:26We can drive it home with one headlight.
00:41:46Yeah!
00:41:54Congratulations, both of you.
00:41:56Bae, I'm gonna start with you.
00:41:57I love that song so much.
00:41:58Took me back.
00:41:59I love that music does that.
00:42:00Music and smells have so much nostalgia tied to them.
00:42:04You're so understated.
00:42:06Like you're so cool 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've 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, it's so good.
00:42:39Oh, I love it.
00:42:41Wait, 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 and 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, what'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
00:43:37artist.
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 she did up there.
00:43:48I got to go see Lauryn, I think, like, 98, you know, Ms. 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.
00:43:58She 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.
00:44:56He's a wizard.
00:44:57He's a wild man.
00:44:57You're a wizard, Harry.
00:45:06Welcome back to the Knockouts premiere.
00:45:11When did I see you last?
00:45:12It was on my show.
00:45:13It was on my show.
00:45:14I hosted your show.
00:45:14Yep.
00:45:15Oh, good.
00:45:15We're back.
00:45:16All right.
00:45:16Okay, so next up is Abigail and Liv.
00:45:19Okay.
00:45:20Abigail has this really cool singer-songwriter, special kind of thing with her voice.
00:45:24Liv kind of reminds me of young Mariah.
00:45:26This whole journey has been insane.
00:45:28The battle, it was the most crazy moment of my life.
00:45:31Coach, let me remind you that Liv's available to steal.
00:45:34Whoa!
00:45:34Immediately!
00:45:35We got a steal!
00:45:36What do you mean?
00:45:38Oh no!
00:45:39When Kelly pressed her super steal, it was such a crazy moment.
00:45:42And one thing I'm gonna make sure is to not let Kelly down.
00:45:46What's up?
00:45:47Oh my gosh!
00:45:48Walking in to see Michael Buble as the mega mentor was absolutely insane.
00:45:53Michael's won Grammys, two seasons of The Voice.
00:45:56He's an amazing recording artist.
00:45:58Like, he puts his own spin on things.
00:46:00All right, who's gonna start?
00:46:02Abigail?
00:46:02Okay.
00:46:03I'm singing Feather by Sabrina Carpenter.
00:46:05I love a song about letting go.
00:46:07As someone who's in their head a lot to sing about, I feel light as a feather.
00:46:11Let's hear it.
00:46:12Life is so much lighter like a feather with you off my mind.
00:46:16I love Abigail Forrest.
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's in the pic.
00:46:27She was great.
00:46:28Really great.
00:46:28She's good at flipping songs.
00:46:29This song is about letting go of someone who doesn't serve you anymore.
00:46:36I'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, and I'm like, oh, you're a little punk rock.
00:47:02Like you got a little sass in there, and I love that.
00:47:04You're like a cross between Joni Mitchell and Melanie Martinez.
00:47:08Oh, yeah.
00:47:09You're very unique.
00:47:10If I'm you, I lean into the quirkiness.
00:47:13This is your song now.
00:47:14You have this really cool spark about you that I really want to pull out.
00:47:18Can you play that chorus?
00:47:19I feel so much lighter like a feather with you off my mind.
00:47:23You're on the voice singing with Kelly Clarkson right now.
00:47:25You just want to pinch yourself.
00:47:26Ooh.
00:47:28This 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.
00:47:36Ah, da, da, da.
00:47:37Yeah, since they're going quiet, you can make that little sexy sound that you're making.
00:47:41Like, send a pic.
00:47:42To have that little pause right there, because your little sass on it is such great sauce.
00:47:48I love it.
00:47:48As an artist, Abigail is so unique.
00:47:51The control is insane.
00:47:53She's just so amazing, and I'm so glad I get to hear her and work with her.
00:47:56Hey, Liv.
00:47:57Hi.
00:47:58Hey.
00:47:59Can I ask you something stupid?
00:48:01Of course.
00:48:01We didn't work together.
00:48:02We 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.
00:48:15Uh, I'm an idiot.
00:48:16For a competition, this is an interesting song to pick.
00:48:20Obviously, I'm a fan of it.
00:48:22I will be singing Breakaway by Kelly Clarkson.
00:48:24I will say, this was not one of my favorites to record, but it's one of my favorites to perform
00:48:29live.
00:48:30Yeah.
00:48:30Because it touches so many people.
00:48:32Yeah.
00:48:32Are we going to shake it up a little bit?
00:48:34Yeah.
00:48:34So, obviously, I have so much respect for the original arrangement.
00:48:37It's amazing.
00:48:38Oh, throw the OG out.
00:48:39Let's do something.
00:48:41Grew up in a small town, and when the rain would fall down.
00:48:45Liv has a beautiful voice.
00:48:47She has great control.
00:48:48It seems pretty effortless for her.
00:48:50I'll spread my wings, and I'll learn how to fly.
00:48:54And if she's this good at 16, I can't even imagine what this girl is going to sound like when
00:48:59she's 18, 19, 20.
00:49:00I mean, already great.
00:49:02Yeah.
00:49:04You 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 rhyme, 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.
00:49:25This song is about stepping out of your comfort zone, pursuing your dreams.
00:49:30I grew up in an average household with, you know, friends and family.
00:49:33We would always talk about homework and school, just casual teenager things.
00:49:37But now I have this incredible opportunity, and I kind of want to break away and, you know, pursue my
00:49:42dream, but always keep the people that, you know, brought me up in my heart.
00:49:45I could go on a rant of why I love the song so much.
00:49:48I just wanted to slow the very beginning down a tiny bit.
00:49:51I could 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.
00:50:09The two's going to come to the table.
00:50:11Who really wants it?
00:50:12Who's not going to show nerves?
00:50:14Great job.
00:50:15I will be singing Kelly's song in front of Kelly.
00:50:18Kelly's super steel artist.
00:50:19I have to use the nerves and turn them into excitement because in this round there are no second chances.
00:50:24Versus Abigail Oakley.
00:50:26I really want to make it to this next round.
00:50:29So this 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.
00:50:51And when the rain would fall down.
00:50:54I'd just stare out my window.
00:50:58Dreaming of what could be.
00:51:00And if I'd end up happy, I would pray I could break away.
00:51:14I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly.
00:51:18I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky.
00:51:22And I'll make a wish.
00:51:24And take a chance.
00:51:25And make a change.
00:51:27And break away.
00:51:32Buildings with a hundred floors.
00:51:35Swinging round revolving us.
00:51:37Maybe I don't know where they take me.
00:51:42Gotta keep moving on.
00:51:44Moving on.
00:51:45Fly away.
00:51:47Break away.
00:51:50I'll spread my wings and I'll fly.
00:51:53I'll spread my wings and I'll fly.
00:51:55I'll spread my wings and I'll fly.
00:51:55No, it's not easy to tell you goodbye.
00:52:01Make a change.
00:52:04Break away.
00:52:09Under the darkness and into the sun.
00:52:13I won't forget.
00:52:15I won't forget.
00:52:15The place I come from.
00:52:20I won't forget.
00:52:25The place I come from.
00:52:26Take a race.
00:52:27Take a chance.
00:52:28Make a change.
00:52:32And break away.
00:52:37Take a boy away.
00:52:46Yeah.
00:52:47How beautiful.
00:52:58Welcome back to the Knockouts.
00:53:08with feather here's abigail oakley

00:53:32i slam the door i hate it nor i say no no no more i got you blocked excited to
00:53:45never talk i
00:53:46i'm so sorry for your loss i feel so much lighter like a feather with you off my mind
00:53:58floating through the memories of whatever you're a waste of time
00:54:03i feel pretty
00:54:15with you out my life

00:54:56oh
00:54:58i feel so much lighter like a feather with you off my mind
00:55:05i feel so much lighter like a feather with you off my mind
00:55:22so cool
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
00:55:35difficult to sing that way i loved hearing that cool part in the song where you had to do those
00:55:40little turns up in your head voice you executed it very well thank you so much
00:55:44live it's always tough to pick the song of your coach
00:55:50but i think it was really effective especially at the end with those big chest voice notes that we
00:55:55were hitting it felt urgent enough to convince me that live should go to the next round if i were
00:56:00thank you live you know you're 16. i think about when i was 16 and like i was so lame
00:56:07like i was just
00:56:08not even close to where you are so i'm blown away you chose kelly's song to sing in a moment
00:56:14where you
00:56:15had the power to choose and that's a big statement awesome job thank you abigail you really have me
00:56:21feeling and understanding the lyrics whenever you can like plug someone into a song like that and that
00:56:25means that you are doing what is necessary to connect us to the music you both did really great
00:56:30so i give you no help really all 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 that's a very hard thing to do and live i
00:56:50was like
00:56:50girl why are you doing this song it's my song it's not usually a showstopper what's exciting to me
00:56:59is that you made it a showstopper thank you this is very hard kelly who is the winner of this
00:57:07knockout
00:57:09regardless of who i pick i do think that you're both special in very different ways
00:57:16um
00:57:19the winner of this knockout is live
00:57:27it's very hard live is exciting for me because she's 16th and she really impressed me with what
00:57:34she did with my song breakaway she made it a competition song it's so nerve-wracking up there
00:57:38oh she's so good now live is in the semi-final so i'll ride all right that sounds like piano

01:06:14Woo
01:06:18Fantastic
01:06:19All right
01:06:21Excellent job by the way
01:06:22Both you guys
01:06:23Thank you
01:06:23So different
01:06:24I mean so
01:06:26Different
01:06:27Yeah
01:06:27Natasha I heard something in your range
01:06:29I hadn't heard yet
01:06:30And it got more comfortable
01:06:31I 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
01:06:37Thank you
01:06:40Sid you know
01:06:41It's amazing what you do
01:06:42You 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
01:06:48If you were to move forward
01:06:50I 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
01:06:57Thank you
01:07:00Natasha
01:07:00I 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
01:07:09Sid you have this voice that is meant for an arena like this
01:07:13No matter what the song is
01:07:14You can turn it into something that sounds like a finale song
01:07:17But if you don't have that part that captivates you
01:07:20That makes me want to cry
01:07:21Which you are capable of
01:07:22That's the only connection I'm missing from you at this point
01:07:25If you tap into that girl
01:07:26You will be unstoppable
01:07:29Thank you coaches
01:07:31All right Johnny you got a tough decision coming up
01:07:33Give us some thoughts first
01:07:35Natasha
01:07:35I really liked a lot of the stylistic choices that you made
01:07:38You understand who you are as a vocalist
01:07:41You just got to lean into that
01:07:43And 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
01:07:51The next level for you
01:07:53It's so obvious you're one of the most gifted singers
01:07:56We'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
01:08:04But the time has come
01:08:05Who 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
01:08:21Fantastic
01:08:23These ladies did such a wonderful job
01:08:25But Sid is just so good
01:08:26Watching someone that has that much skill
01:08:28It's a marvel
01:08:29Only a few human beings in the world can actually do it
01:08:32We should honor that
01:08:34Especially 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
01:08:43And I can't even believe that I'm saying it
01:08:44I'm going to the top nine
01:08:46Team legend
01:08:47Yeah
01:08:57Welcome back to The Voice Battle of Champions
01:09:02Do you remember the first day we shot the show
01:09:05They put us in these big red goofy chairs
01:09:08And then they just basically said go
01:09:10It was definitely on the job training for sure
01:09:12And then look at all this
01:09:13Like everyone in the world knows what The Voice is
01:09:16We built this city
01:09:20Without this city
01:09:21I'm running around us
01:09:24You ready?
01:09:24I'm ready
01:09:25You ready?
01:09:25We got this
01:09:26I'm putting Mike and Jeremy together
01:09:28Because I know that for them to get far in this competition
01:09:31They're going to have to get through each other
01:09:33I bought you all a present
01:09:34Oh wow
01:09:36Walking in and seeing CeeLo
01:09:37That was crazy
01:09:39The one and only
01:09:41What an honor
01:09:42He is my childhood inspiration
01:09:44Goody mob all day
01:09:45My 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
01:09:52John Legend was foolish
01:09:54I heard about his debacle
01:09:56We got a steal
01:09:57Being Adam's only steal
01:10:00Like I feel really really special
01:10:02He's so good bro
01:10:03I want to show Adam
01:10:05That he did not make a mistake
01:10:07I'm going to give him my all
01:10:08Mike have a seat over there
01:10:09All right
01:10:11Taking down a classic
01:10:12Yes
01:10:13My gosh
01:10:14I will be singing
01:10:15Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing
01:10:16By Marvin Gaye
01:10:17And Tammy Terrell
01:10:18I spent a decade singing with Soulful Symphony
01:10:21It's a 75 piece orchestra
01:10:24Of 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
01:10:39I've been working at this since I was 16
01:10:42And being on the voice stage is nothing like it
01:10:46Let's hear some music
01:10:47Ain't nothing like the real thing baby
01:10:51I think it's a good choice
01:10:52I think it's smart
01:10:53It's doing a song that everybody wants to hear
01:10:55It's just about how he's going to deliver it
01:10:56Oh nothing like the real thing
01:11:00Jeremy has so much more experience than I do
01:11:03But me and Jeremy both received a triple chair turn
01:11:07So it's going to be a really tough knockout
01:11:13I heard modulation moments
01:11:15And you're a little bit hesitant
01:11:17Wherever you're at now
01:11:19Just be there
01:11:19Don'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
01:11:34It does leave too much of a gaping hold
01:11:38And those runs
01:11:39Those are your moments
01:11:40And so like you want to carry that run over
01:11:42Then it overshoots the mark
01:11:45Of where the hook should come back in
01:11:46Because that's the satisfaction
01:11:48Adam, church again
01:11:49We're good with the BGVs
01:11:50Okay great
01:11:51Let's listen to it with the BGVs
01:11:52Okay great
01:11:55It was a little bit sketched in the beginning
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
01:12:06But I think it still lends itself to a quality in his voice
01:12:09Because it's sincere
01:12:10Much, much better
01:12:12Yeah
01:12:12The confidence started to shine
01:12:15Marvin Gaye is one of my all-time favorites
01:12:17Oh, crisis averted
01:12:20Mike
01:12:21Hey Mikey
01:12:22Mike Steel the Steel
01:12:24Let me know why you chose this song
01:12:25This is the type of music I grew up on
01:12:27I am singing How You Gonna Act Like That by Tyrese
01:12:31Growing up in Mississippi
01:12:32The entire family used to meet up in my grandma's house
01:12:36And have everything there from barbecues to fish fries
01:12:39Hosting car games
01:12:40And Tyrese's music will always be playing in the background
01:12:43His songs is just
01:12:45That's how I always saw myself as an artist
01:12:48How you gonna act like that?
01:12:52Mike sounds great
01:12:53There's a quality in his voice 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
01:13:08That quality
01:13:09To be the king of the jungle
01:13:10Yeah
01:13:14Alright, so look
01:13:14We know you got a great voice
01:13:16This will 150% come down to the performance
01:13:20Right
01:13:20It's a sexy song
01:13:22And you need to perform it
01:13:23And you need to make everyone fall in love with you
01:13:24It's like an audio chick flick
01:13:26It's like
01:13:27When you do this
01:13:28You gotta unleash
01:13:28You cannot just stand there and sing the song, right?
01:13:30Okay
01:13:31Move your mic stand to the side
01:13:32Hold the mic
01:13:33You know what I'm saying?
01:13:34Give yourself a little bit more space
01:13:35You have to look to the right
01:13:37To 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
01:13:42I guess
01:13:43So before you guys go
01:13:45There is a message
01:13:47In each pocket on my morning jacket
01:13:49It's deep down there

01:13:51Yeah

01:14:38Something different
01:14:38Let's go

01:14:43Yeah
01:14:43What was with the fit?
01:14:45Now singing
01:14:46How are you going to act like that?
01:14:47This is Mike Steele
01:14:54It seems like just the other day
01:14:57That we hooked up
01:14:59I was driving
01:15:00You were walking
01:15:01Then I shook you up
01:15:03From that moment on
01:15:05I knew you were the one
01:15:07I just seen how you
01:15:09You were lucky
01:15:10And we fell in love
01:15:11We were sitting
01:15:13Talking for hours
01:15:14About anything
01:15:16Maybe you hang up
01:15:19I'm cleaning up
01:15:20I bought you with my pager
01:15:22And I gave you everything
01:15:27How are you going to
01:15:29Up and lead me down
01:15:32How are you going to
01:15:34Act like that?
01:15:37How are you going to
01:15:38Change it all
01:15:39We just need to speak love
01:15:41How are you going to
01:15:42Act like that?
01:15:46You know I'm willing
01:15:48To do anything
01:15:50Just to keep you
01:15:52In my heart
01:15:54I messed around
01:15:56And gave up everything
01:15:58I thought we'd never
01:16:01I was a player
01:16:04And I made the choice
01:16:06To give my heart to you
01:16:11How are you going to
01:16:18Act like that, baby?
01:16:21How are you going to
01:16:23Treat me so wrong?
01:16:26Can somebody tell me
01:16:28Why, baby?
01:16:31Baby, baby, baby, yeah
01:16:35Yeah
01:16:36How are you going to
01:16:38Tip?
01:16:39How can you forget?
01:16:41How are you going to
01:16:42Act like that?
01:16:45Oh, yeah
01:16:51Yeah
01:16:52Yeah
01:17:02Welcome back
01:17:09With Ain't Nothing Like THE REAL THING
01:17:12Here's Jeremy Keith.
01:17:42I've got your picture hanging on the wall, but you can't see or come to me when I call your
01:17:48name.
01:17:49I realize you're just a picture in a frame.
01:17:53And I need your letters when you're not here, but they don't move me and they don't prove me like
01:18:00when I hear your sweet voice whispering in my ear.
01:18:06Yeah, ain't nothing like that.
01:18:17I play my game of fantasy, but I pretend that I'm not in reality.
01:18:25I need the shelter of your arms to come for me, no other.
01:18:30Yeah, your name, no touch can do half as much to make me feel better.
01:18:40So let's stay together.
01:18:41Oh, baby, nothing like the real thing, no.
01:18:58So, nothing like the real, real, real, real thing.
01:19:08Oh, baby, nothing like the real thing.
01:19:12Go, Jeremy!
01:19:14Dave Singer.
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?
01:19:32Yes.
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, you 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 and land.
01:19:59She'll land the plane.
01:20:00But I will land the plane.
01:20:02You guys, you're both so good.
01:20:04Man, I don't know, man.
01:20:05You're screwed.
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.
01:20:15And then Mike, you've got like, kind of the je ne sais quoi kind of vibe.
01:20:20I think your style is great.
01:20:22Swag.
01:20:22You're like, it's just swaggy.
01:20:24And so there's a lot of like, kind of the intangibles.
01:20:27So 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'd you think about the knockout?
01:20:37I thought they were great and they should both stay.
01:20:40It's really tough because Jeremy, you are ready now.
01:20:43You have a fantastic voice.
01:20:45We haven't even really seen the full range of what is possible.
01:20:48And in Mike, there's a quality to what you do that's really different.
01:20:51I haven't heard many singers with that tone like yours.
01:20:54That's what was making this all very close.
01:20:56Because you're both great singers.
01:20:57Tough decision, Adam.
01:20:58Yeah, it sure is, isn't it?
01:21:00Who's the winner of this knockout?
01:21:01I don't know.
01:21:06This 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.
01:21:17The winner of this knockout is Jeremy.
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 full potential on the show yet.
01:21:40So Jeremy was just ready right now.
01:21:42That was the hardest.
01:21:43That was the hardest.
01:21:44That was so close.
01:21:46Yeah.
01:21:51Oh my.
01:21:55I don't know what this is.
01:21:56Yeah.
01:22:07Oh my gosh.
01:22:09Oh my gosh, give me a hug.
01:22:09Wow.
01:22:09Oh my gosh.
01:22:15Woo greatest fast.
