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 Bublé, 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.
00:08:42Hey.
00:08:43Oh, baby.
00:08:57Hey.
00:08:58Yeah.
00:08:59Hey.
00:09:03wonderful life can be, oh, and I get you, baby, to get it on your feet, oh, oh, oh, oh,
00:09:19oh, so come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, darling, stop beating around the
00:09:27bush, oh, gonna get it on, thank you, baby, say, I want to get it on, say, you don't have
00:09:40to worry, that it's wrong, if the spirit moves you, let me groove you, let your love come
00:09:50down, if you believe in love, let's get it on.
00:10:12Yeah, Moses.
00:10:14What's going on, Moses?
00:10:16It's piano man time.
00:10:22With New York State of mind, here's Lucas West.
00:10:25Lucas!
00:10:38Some folks like to get away, take a holiday from the neighborhood.
00:10:46I'm a ride to Miami Beach, you're going to Hollywood.
00:10:53But I'm taking a greyhound on a Hudson River line.
00:11:02I'm in a New York State of mind.
00:11:06I'm in a New York State of mind.
00:11:07Yeah.
00:11:13It was so easy living day by day.
00:11:20I'm out of touch with the rhythm and blues.
00:11:26Water, I'm in a New York State of mind.
00:11:44It comes down to reality
00:11:46And it's fine with me
00:11:49Cause I've let it slide
00:11:50I don't care if it's 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
00:12:10And he can play
00:12:12Cause I'm in a New York state of time
00:12:32That's bad
00:12:36No, he's good
00:12:37That's bad
00:12:43He makes me so happy
00:12:46Moses, 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
00:12:53I heard 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
00:13:05Lucas, 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, your 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, if he says this
00:13:32Like, you just made him proud
00:13:33That was insane
00:13:36You have to be able to say
00:13:38I'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
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, 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 from you vocally today
00:14:09It was really, like, revelatory
00:14:11And to be able to play the piano
00:14:14And then sing as well as you did today
00:14:16Is just incredibly impressive
00:14:18Thank 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 Knockouts premiere
00:14:44John, who is the winner of this knockout?
00:14:46The 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
00:15:02Lucas 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
00:15:15I want to call my mom
00:15:18Yo, Lucas, he's the truth
00:15:19He might win
00:15:26This 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 Buble's a nice name
00:15:35But it doesn't quite have the same ring as
00:15:38Mega 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
00:15:50I would bring in the greatest mega mentor I could think of
00:15:54I love my Buble
00:15:55You're so good at this show
00:15:57You win a lot
00:15:58I love it
00:15:58Just like you
00:15:59Yeah
00:15:59I was built for doing this
00:16:01It is fun
00:16:02If I could be a small part of helping these artists to grow
00:16:05There's a lot of goodness that comes on it
00:16:07All right, so up first are my country dudes who I love
00:16:10Oh, yeah
00:16:11This was my first time to really get to work with them
00:16:13And they're both very different
00:16:14All right
00:16:16I put the country boys together
00:16:18She didn't know what she was getting into
00:16:19Kelly paired me with J.W. Griffin
00:16:21And J.W. is one of my best buddies
00:16:23And I was like, crud
00:16:25We should do like Scooby-Doo when we walk
00:16:30Let's bring him in
00:16:32Dude, you guys are so handsome
00:16:34What's up?
00:16:35What's up?
00:16:35I'm Michael Buble and it's nice to meet you
00:16:37I love Michael Buble
00:16:38He's got five Grammys
00:16:39That's a huge deal at any level of artistry
00:16:42I was kind of starstruck
00:16:44J.W.
00:16:45He's won two times
00:16:47He's a champion
00:16:47It's cool to see another coach that has a history of winning
00:16:51And to get to work with them
00:16:52I'm really, like, sorry once again
00:16:55This is our first time to technically get to work together
00:16:58Be gentle with us, please
00:17:00Just 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
00:17:11It's like Hunger Games
00:17:13All right, who's starting?
00:17:14Okay, who's starting? Which one?
00:17:15I'll go first
00:17:16Okay
00:17:17This round, there's no saves and there's no steals
00:17:19So it's like we'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, I picked Love You Anyway by Luke Combs
00:17:33I guess it was 2025
00:17:35And he was like, hey, listen
00:17:36I 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
00:17:40A 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 hit CD
00:17:51In my dad's truck
00:17:52That was where I started realizing that singing could be fun
00:17:55I'm at school right now
00:17:57Because eventually I want to be a husband
00:17:59And I want to be a dad
00:18:00And I know that if music doesn't have the ability 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
00:18:21But if I could perform and do music for 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
00:18:31Houston is this big, beautiful voice country singer
00:18:40I think he can sing other 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
00:18:46Yes, 20 years old
00:18:46I love this song
00:18:52What a beautiful mess
00:18:54Sad, but beautiful
00:18:56Lyrically
00:18:57It's deep and rich
00:18:58But don't forget to give me what the words are
00:19:02Like enunciate a little bit
00:19:04Yeah, like enunciate 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
00:19:11You're letting them in
00:19:12Yeah
00:19:12Message wise
00:19:14This is kind of a beautiful turn for you
00:19:17Be tender, man
00:19:18Even if I knew
00:19:20That might be a really cool time for your really beautiful falsetto
00:19:23Do it
00:19:24Right now
00:19:24Even if I knew
00:19:26The day we met you
00:19:28Be
00:19:28The reason this heart breaks
00:19:32Dude
00:19:33Dude
00:19:33Come on
00:19:35Okay
00:19:36Please
00:19:36God
00:19:37That is stronger than the biggest note you could do
00:19:40Okay
00:19:41The audience is going to yell, you know, when you do that
00:19:43All right
00:19:44Come on, J-Dubs
00:19:45All right
00:19:45I feel like it's nerve-wracking going against Houston
00:19:48He's got a classic country voice in it
00:19:50It'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
00:19:56This kind of song can let me show out a little more of my soulfulness
00:20:01That I haven't really been able to do yet
00:20:04I love it
00:20:07I just love the sounds
00:20:08And the song has a bluegrass flair
00:20:11It's in the country genre
00:20:12I think there's always going to be country roots behind everything I do
00:20:16Just because my accent and the way I talk
00:20:18I like country music the most
00:20:21Just because it represents kind of what it feels like to be from South Georgia
00:20:26And now it's just like I'm thousands of miles away
00:20:30I've given up a lot of time to be here at work
00:20:33I've missed a while now
00:20:35I 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 and people enjoying it
00:20:45That's what I'm here for
00:20:47I'm not ready for it to end
00:20:48Well, let's hear it
00:20:51Never would have hitched back to Birmingham
00:20:53If it hadn't been for love
00:20:57For me, JW is a country star
00:20:59I love his quick vibrato
00:21:01His tone, just stylistically
00:21:02I just dug what he was doing
00:21:05If it hadn't been
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
00:21:19Like, 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?
00:21:30That's the only thing I'm thinking
00:21:31That's what I've been trying to think of something to do
00:21:32Lift the tempo
00:21:33Turn it into a little more kind of rocking thing
00:21:36Yeah, yeah
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, 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 have some kind of, like, eh
00:21:54Yeah, rock it up a little bit
00:21:56Yeah, experiment with that
00:21:57Fuck a wall
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
00:22:05So
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, Jess
00:22:23I love both of them
00:22:24They're both very different singers
00:22:26What are you gonna do?
00:22:27How are you gonna make decisions?
00:22:28You think we talk about this
00:22:29We think we know
00:22:30And then we get there the day of
00:22:32And you choose someone else
00:22:33It is for me in the moment
00:22:34Like, whoever does best in the moment
00:22:36That's what I'm going with
00:22:37Come on, JW
00:22:38Oh, JW
00:22:40Woo!
00:22:41Let's go, baby
00:22:42Now with
00:22:43If It Hadn't Been For Love
00:22:44Here is JW Griffin
00:22:58I love him
00:22:59I never would've took the train to Louisiana
00:23:02If it hadn't been for love
00:23:05I never would've run 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've seen the trouble that I've been
00:23:21If it hadn't been for love
00:23:24Would've been called like a wayward wind
00:23:28If it hadn't been for love
00:23:30Well, nobody knows it better than me
00:23:34I wouldn't be wishing I was free
00:23:37If it hadn't been
00:23:38If it hadn't been for love
00:23:41Yeah
00:23:43Four cold walls
00:23:46Against my will
00:23:49At least I know
00:23:52She's alive and still
00:23:55Four cold walls
00:24:00Without the road
00:24:03Lord, have mercy on my soul
00:24:11I never would've been to that side of town
00:24:15If it hadn't been for love
00:24:16Better, BJ, JW
00:24:18Never would've took him out of track her down
00:24:21If it hadn't been for love
00:24:24Never would've loaded up my .44
00:24:27Put myself behind the jailhouse door
00:24:30If it hadn't been
00:24:31If it hadn't been for love
00:24:34Mmm, if it hadn't been
00:24:38If it hadn't been
00:24:42Oh, yeah!
00:24:46For love
00:24:50Yeah!
00:24:53Yeah!
00:24:55Yeah!
00:24:59Yeah!
00:25:07Welcome back to The Knockouts
00:25:09At Universal Studios Hollywood
00:25:13Singing Love You Anyway
00:25:14Here's Houston Kelly
00:25:16Come on, Houston!
00:25:17Come on, Houston!
00:25:26If your kiss
00:25:28Turned me to stone
00:25:31Okay
00:25:32I'd be a statue
00:25:35Standing tall
00:25:36In ancient Rome
00:25:38Oh, God
00:25:40And if your touch
00:25:42Shed me like glass
00:25:46I'd be in pieces
00:25:49Trying to make the breaking last
00:25:53And if it took one look
00:25:56To turn my days to nights
00:26:00At least I'd have the stars
00:26:03To sparkle in your eyes
00:26:08There's just some things
00:26:10That leave a man no choice
00:26:15Like a compass need
00:26:17Don't need
00:26:18And it's true, no
00:26:21Baby, if I knew
00:26:23The day we met you, babe
00:26:25The reason this heart breaks
00:26:29Oh, I'd love you anyway
00:26:51Nice!
00:26:52Even if I knew the day we met you
00:26:56And the reason this heart breaks
00:27:00Nice
00:27:01Oh, I'd love you anyway
00:27:07Oh, I'd love you anyway
00:27:14Yeah
00:27:15Beautiful
00:27:17Beautiful
00:27:19Nice
00:27:20Nice
00:27:24Both of you
00:27:28That was awesome, man
00:27:29So good, man
00:27:30Oh, my gosh, this sucks
00:27:33Gentlemen, that was so well done by both of you
00:27:36Houston, you had so much character and warmth in your delivery
00:27:41I loved when you gave that little smile
00:27:43You have the best smile
00:27:44Something about it, you were like, I got there
00:27:46I got to that end of that spot
00:27:47And he gave a little smile like
00:27:51Yeah
00:27:52Yeah
00:27:53J-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 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
00:28:11Thank 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, 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 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
00:28:28J-Dub
00:28:31Still sad
00:28:31I thought maybe you were gonna 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
00:28:44And I'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
00:29:10We 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 about 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 for competition right now
00:29:32The winner of this knockout is JW
00:29:35JW!
00:29:36Thank you
00:29:37Houston versus JW 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 a 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 is like
00:30:02He's just so good
00:30:03I want to listen to him sing
00:30:04It's that simple
00:30:05All day long
00:30:08Lucky
00:30:09Where are the people I saw on the street today?
00:30:11Who said they were coming to The Voice?
00:30:13There you are
00:30:15I was walking from school to my office
00:30:18And they were like
00:30:18We're going to see you at The Voice today
00:30:20That happened to me one time in New York
00:30:22I was walking home
00:30:23And these women stopped me
00:30:25And they were like
00:30:25I'm coming to your show tomorrow
00:30:26And I was like
00:30:26Well, I'll see you again
00:30:36Welcome back to The Voice
00:30:37Battle of Champions
00:30:43Oh my god
00:30:44You're taking me back
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
00:30:51I 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 at my little shows
00:31:04In Philly and New York
00:31:06I've grown up since then
00:31:07Hey, John Stevens is cool
00:31:10Bro, my name's Adam Levine
00:31:11There's like 4,000 Adam Levines out there
00:31:19It's my mega mentor, CeeLo Green
00:31:21Hello, sir
00:31:21How 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
00:31:31If I get a call from Adam
00:31:33I make myself available
00:31:35Man, thanks for having me back, bro
00:31:37You know what I'm saying?
00:31:38I love you, man
00:31:38You know I love you
00:31:39I live to entertain people
00:31:40For, you know
00:31:42Fabulosity
00:31:43So, wow
00:31:44Yeah
00:31:44You 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
00:31:58It was amazing to walk in and see CeeLo as the mega mentor
00:32:01CeeLo, man
00:32:02Great to meet you, brother
00:32:03Oh, you look good 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, it's a little Whitney
00:32:15Oh, yeah, no big deal at all
00:32:16Nah
00:32:17I am singing You Give Good Love by Whitney Houston
00:32:20Tell me about how you chose the song
00:32:22Because her songs was some of the songs that my mom made me sing as a kid
00:32:26It'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, she used to put me in like different talent shows
00:32:37She was like, hey, if you win, we could go get a burger
00:32:40I was like, okay, that was what I was excited about
00:32:46She paved the way for me musically
00:32:48But you did not give up, I 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
00:32:59Yep, I 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
00:33:15Alexia 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, a hundred percent
00:33:30All 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 what a blessing to be able to hear true talent
00:33:44It sounded unique, it 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
00:33:56Yeah
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
00:34:22Alexia, 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
00:35:30He 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 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
00:35:49When you get to that high point in the song
00:35:51To not overdo it
00:35:52It means sit right in the pocket
00:35:54Yeah
00:35:54Just a bit
00:35:54You know what I mean?
00:35:55Yeah
00:35:57Wait, I'm starting to get in
00:35:59Oh
00:35:59I'm starting to get in
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
00:36:19I love that
00:36:20I got 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 it aced
00:36:39I want to give it to you early
00:36:41How you feel about that other team?

00:36:44I'm biased to the guy
00:36:46He's my dude man

00:39:18She's going to win.
00:39:20Yes, beautiful.
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.
00:39:42Now with one headlight, here's Bay Simpson.
00:39:50Let's go, Bay.
00:39:52So long ago, I don't remember when.
00:39:56That's when they say I lost my only friend.
00:40:00They said she died easy of a broken heart disease.
00:40:05As I listened through the cemetery trees.
00:40:12Oh, yeah.
00:40:16Hey, come on, child.
00:40:21Nothing is forever.
00:40:23It's got to be something better than in the middle.
00:40:27It's made a sin around and put it all together.
00:40:31We can try to roll with a warm headlight
00:40:45I'm so old and I feel just like somebody else
00:40:50Man, I ain't changed, but I know I ain't the same
00:40:55Somewhere here in between these city walls of dying dreams
00:41:00I think her death must be killing me
00:41:13Come on, child, nothing is forever
00:41:17There's got to be something better than in the middle
00:41:22Me and Cinderella, we'll put it all together
00:41:26We can drive it home
00:41:28Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
00:41:37Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
00:41:45Yeah!
00:41:55Congratulations both of you
00:41:56Faye, I'm going to start with you
00:41:57I love that song so much
00:41:58Took me back
00:41:59I love that music does that
00:42:00Music and smells have so much nostalgia tied to them
00:42:04You're so understated
00:42:06Like you're so cool
00:42:07Because you don't try to be cool
00:42:10Alexia, 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
00:42:33For when you were at the Grammys one day
00:42:34And I'm like, I know her
00:42:36I'm like, oh my gosh
00:42:38It's so good
00:42:39Oh, I love it
00:42:41Like, look, at this point
00:42:42I obviously would go with Alexia
00:42:44Who would you pick?
00:42:47It's a mystery
00:42:50Bae, there is this cool factor
00:42:52I talked about you being weird in the last round
00:42:55A good weird
00:42:55A good weird
00:42:57Music is really in you
00:43:00And it's super cool
00:43:01And weird in all the right ways
00:43:03Thank you so much
00:43:04Yes
00:43:05And Alexia
00:43:06The Lauryn Hill comment really works for me
00:43:08There's something about that vibe
00:43:11It's got grit, you know, soulfulness
00:43:14And I love the style, too
00:43:16You're giving a little Chaka Khan energy today
00:43:18The choices you're making
00:43:20It's just all working
00:43:22Thank you, coaches
00:43:24All right, Adam
00:43:24What'd you think about the knockout?
00:43:26You're both so comfortable in your own skin
00:43:28As far as who you are
00:43:29Bae, there's been something special about you
00:43:31From the first moment I heard you sing
00:43:32And you don't have to have a voice like Alexia's
00:43:35To be someone who is equally viable as an artist
00:43:37I don't have a voice like Alexia's
00:43:39You were incredible today
00:43:40Thank you
00:43:42And Alexia, it's a shame that
00:43:44These two coaches didn't like what she did up there
00:43:47I got to go see Lauryn
00:43:49I think like 98, you know, Miss Education Tour
00:43:52I played on that album, you know
00:43:54No way
00:43:55Shout out both of you
00:43:55I feel like I knew that
00:43:56Oh my god, that's amazing
00:43:58She is magic
00:43:59And you are so unique in that way
00:44:03Where you can make us feel
00:44:04You're both fantastic
00:44:06All right, Adam
00:44:07Who is the winner of this knockout?
00:44:12I love you both
00:44:15The winner of this knockout
00:44:17Is Alexia
00:44:20Alexia!
00:44:21There are no saves, no steals
00:44:22And I don't like that
00:44:24She's crazy
00:44:26I had to go with Alexia
00:44:28Because she has one of the best voices
00:44:29I've ever heard in my life
00:44:30Amazing
00:44:30Alexia has that rare ability
00:44:32To sing anything
00:44:34I think she could win this entire competition
00:44:36Very easily
00:44:36I heard that CeeLo came with a lot of zippers too
00:44:39Did y'all talk to each other?
00:44:40Maybe he influenced me
00:44:41Oh
00:44:41Now I'm zipped up
00:44:42You're inspired
00:44:43Zippers galore
00:44:44Yeah, but not even close to as many
00:44:45He had pockets everywhere
00:44:46What is he hiding in his pockets?
00:44:48CeeLo was like
00:44:49People's fortunes
00:44:49He had the fortune cookie messages
00:44:51In each pocket
00:44:51Would he open different pockets?
00:44:53Yes, he opened different pockets
00:44:54Oh
00:44:54CeeLo's a wizard
00:44:56Wizard?
00:44:57He's a wild man
00:44:57You're a wizard, Harry
00:45:06Welcome back to the Knockouts premiere
00:45:10When did I see you last?
00:45:12It was on my show
00:45:13I hosted your show
00:45:14Yep
00:45:15Oh good, we're back
00:45:16All right
00:45:16Okay, so next up is Abigail and Liv
00:45:19Okay
00:45:19Abigail has this really cool singer-songwriter
00:45:22Special kind of thing with her voice
00:45:24Liv kind of reminds me of young Mariah
00:45:26This whole journey has been insane
00:45:28The battle, it was the most crazy moment of my life
00:45:31Coach, let me remind you that Liv's available to steal
00:45:33Whoa, immediately
00:45:35We got a steal
00:45:36What do you mean?
00:45:38Oh no
00:45:39When Kelly pressed her super steal
00:45:41It was such a crazy moment
00:45:42And one thing I'm going to make sure
00:45:44Is to not let Kelly down
00:45:46What's up?
00:45:47Oh my gosh
00:45:48Walking in to see Michael Buble
00:45:50As the mega mentor
00:45:51Was absolutely insane
00:45:53Michael's won Grammys
00:45:54Two seasons of The Voice
00:45:56He's an amazing recording artist
00:45:58Like, she puts his own spin on things
00:46:00All right, who's going to start?
00:46:01Abigail? Okay
00:46:02I'm singing Feather by Sabrina Carpenter
00:46:05I love a song about letting go
00:46:06As someone who's in their head a lot
00:46:08To sing about
00:46:09I feel light as a feather
00:46:10Let's hear
00:46:11Life is so much lighter
00:46:13Like a feather
00:46:14With you off my mind
00:46:16I love Abigail for it
00:46:18I think she has such a sweet, lovely tone
00:46:20It's really angelic
00:46:22Like a kid
00:46:23You fit every stereotype
00:46:25Send a pic
00:46:26She was great
00:46:28Really great dance
00:46:29She's good at flipping songs
00:46:29This song is about letting go of someone who doesn't serve you anymore
00:46:35I've had my fair share of breakups
00:46:37But ultimately you get to exactly who you want to be with
00:46:41When I met Tom, we were both still in college
00:46:43He's the best
00:46:45He's a musician as well
00:46:46Tom is my biggest supporter
00:46:48It was really effortless
00:46:50Like two feathers floating together
00:46:56It's so angelic
00:46:58Thank you
00:46:58You seemed shy at first in the blinds
00:47:00And I'm like
00:47:01Oh, you're a little punk rock
00:47:02Like you got a little sass in there
00:47:03And I love that
00:47:04You're like a cross between Joni Mitchell and Melanie Martinez
00:47:07Oh, yeah
00:47:08You're very unique
00:47:10If I'm you
00:47:11I lean into the quirkiness
00:47:13This is your song now
00:47:14You have this really cool spark about you
00:47:16That I really want to pull out
00:47:18Can you play that chorus?
00:47:19I feel so much lighter
00:47:21Like a feather with you off my
00:47:23You're on the voice
00:47:23You're singing with Kelly Clarkson right now
00:47:25You just want to pinch yourself
00:47:27This is the best show I've ever seen
00:47:29You act like a kid
00:47:32You fit every stereotype
00:47:34Send a pic
00:47:36I'm the nana
00:47:37Yeah, since they're going quiet
00:47:39You can make that little sexy sound
00:47:40That you're making
00:47:41Like send a pic
00:47:42To have that little pause right there
00:47:44Because your little sass on it
00:47:46Is such great sauce
00:47:47I love it
00:47:48As an artist, Abigail is so unique
00:47:50The control is insane
00:47:53She's just so amazing
00:47:54And I'm so glad I get to hear her
00:47:55And work with her
00:47:56Hey, Liv
00:47:57Hi
00:47:57Hey
00:47:58Can I ask you something stupid?
00:48:01Of course
00:48:01We didn't work together
00:48:02We didn't work together
00:48:04But I did audition last season
00:48:06And I didn't get a chair turn
00:48:07I was the one who had the connection
00:48:09With like the suckers
00:48:10Of course
00:48:11And I ate the sucker
00:48:12Was it good?
00:48:13Yes
00:48:13You brought a gift and everything
00:48:14You're such an ass
00:48:15I'm an idiot
00:48:16For a competition
00:48:17This is an interesting song to pick
00:48:20Obviously I'm a fan of it
00:48:22I will be singing
00:48:22Breakaway by Kelly Clarkson
00:48:24I will say
00:48:25This was not one of my favorites
00:48:26To record
00:48:27But it's one of my favorites
00:48:29To perform live
00:48:30Because it touches so many people
00:48:32Are we going to shake it up
00:48:33A little bit?
00:48:34Yeah
00:48:34So obviously I have so much respect
00:48:36For the original arrangement
00:48:37It's amazing
00:48:38Oh, throw the OG out
00:48:39Let's do something
00:48:41Grew up in a small town
00:48:43And when the rain would fall down
00:48:45Liv has a beautiful voice
00:48:47She has great control
00:48:48It seems pretty effortless for her
00:48:50I'll spread my wings
00:48:51And I'll learn how to fly
00:48:54And if she's this good at 16
00:48:56I can't even imagine
00:48:57What this girl is going to sound like
00:48:59When she's 18, 19, 20
00:49:00I mean
00:49:00Yeah
00:49:01Already great
00:49:04You have such a good voice
00:49:07This song can be yours now
00:49:08I just want you to tell me
00:49:10That you're really going to be
00:49:11As genuine and honest as you can be
00:49:13Present, yeah
00:49:14It's a gorgeous song
00:49:15And if this message
00:49:16Really does mean something to you
00:49:17Yeah
00:49:17It'll serve you well
00:49:18Knowing that
00:49:19At this run
00:49:20We get to pick our songs
00:49:21It's kind of a breath of relief
00:49:22Because this is the song
00:49:24That I feel represents me the most
00:49:25This song is about
00:49:27Stepping out of your comfort zone
00:49:28Pursuing your dreams
00:49:29I grew up in an average household
00:49:31With, you know, friends and family
00:49:33We would always talk about homework
00:49:34And school
00:49:35Just casual teenager things
00:49:37But now I have this incredible opportunity
00:49:39And I kind of want to break away
00:49:41And, you know, pursue my dream
00:49:42But always keep the people
00:49:43That, you know, brought me up
00:49:44In my heart
00:49:45I could go on a rant
00:49:47Of why I love the song so much
00:49:48I just wanted to slow the very beginning down a tiny bit
00:49:51I can break away
00:49:55It 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
00:50:01One of you
00:50:02There's no save
00:50:02There's no steal
00:50:03If I'm you
00:50:04I want to make it impossible
00:50:05Thank you
00:50:06Thank you ladies so much
00:50:08That was so great
00:50:08Abigail and Liv
00:50:09It's who's 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
00:50:16In front of Kelly
00:50:17Kelly's super steel artist
00:50:19I have to use the nerves
00:50:20And turn them into excitement
00:50:21Because in this round
00:50:23There are no second chances
00:50:24Versus Abigail Oakley
00:50:26I really want to make it 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
00:50:39Now with Breakaway, here's Liv Sierra
00:50:49I grew 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
00:51:46Break away
00:51:49I'll spread my wings
00:51:52No, it's not easy
00:51:57Tell you goodbye
00:52:00Make a change
00:52:04Break away
00:52:07Break away
00:52:08Out of darkness
00:52:10And into the sun
00:52:13And I won't forget
00:52:15The place I come from
00:52:24Take a risk
00:52:26Take a chance
00:52:28Make a change
00:52:31And break away
00:52:38And break away
00:52:39And break away
00:52:45Yeah
00:52:46So beautiful
00:52:58Welcome back
00:52:59To the knockouts
00:53:01Yeah

00:53:16It feels so good
00:53:19Not caring where you are tonight
00:53:22Oh
00:53:24And it feels so good
00:53:27Not pretending to like the wine
00:53:30That you like

00:55:03Ooh

00:55:11Mind
00:55:21Thank you
00:55:23Oh my god
00:55:25Oh my god
00:55:28Wow
00:55:30Abigail
00:55:30I don't know that song very well
00:55:32So some of the melodies
00:55:33They were like
00:55:34Oh wow
00:55:34It's really difficult to sing that way
00:55:36I loved hearing that cool part in the song
00:55:38Where you had to do those little turns up in your head voice
00:55:41You executed it very well
00:55:43Thank you so much
00:55:44Liv
00:55:45It's always tough to pick the song of your coach
00:55:49Seriously
00:55:50But I think it was really effective
00:55:52Especially at the end
00:55:53With those big chest voice notes that we were hitting
00:55:55It felt urgent enough to convince me that
00:55:58Liv should go to the next round if I were to do it
00:56:01Thank you
00:56:02Liv
00:56:03You know you're 16
00:56:04I think about when I was 16 and like
00:56:06I was so lame
00:56:07Like I was just not
00:56:09Even close to where you are
00:56:11So I'm blown away
00:56:12You chose Kelly's song to sing
00:56:13In a moment where you had the power to choose
00:56:16And that's a big statement
00:56:17Awesome job
00:56:18Thank you
00:56:19Abigail
00:56:19You really have me feeling and understanding the lyrics
00:56:22Whenever you can like plug someone into a song like that
00:56:25And that means that you are doing what is necessary
00:56:27To connect us to the music
00:56:28You both did really great
00:56:30So I give you no help really
00:56:32All right Kelly
00:56:33Before you tell us who won what did you think?
00:56:35Well I want to lead with Abigail
00:56:37Because Sabrina on any song is hard
00:56:40And the fact Abigail that you're doing it
00:56:43In your head voice
00:56:44It was perfectly executed
00:56:47That's a very hard thing to do
00:56:49And Liv
00:56:50I was like
00:56:50Girl why are you doing this song?
00:56:52And it's my song
00:56:54It's not usually a showstopper
00:56:56What's exciting to me
00:56:59Is that you made it a showstopper
00:57:01Thank you
00:57:03This is very hard
00:57:05Kelly
00:57:05Who is the winner of this knockout?
00:57:10Regardless of who I pick
00:57:11I do think that you're both special in very different ways
00:57:16Um
00:57:19The winner of this knockout is Liv
00:57:23Liv
00:57:24Sierra
00:57:25Congratulations
00:57:25You're moving on to the top 9 for Team Kelly
00:57:28It's very hard
00:57:30Liv is exciting for me because she's 16th
00:57:32And she really impressed me with what she did with my song Breakaway
00:57:35She made it a competition song
00:57:36It's so nerve wracking up there
00:57:38Oh
00:57:38She's so good
00:57:39Now Liv is in the semifinals
00:57:41So I'll ride all right
00:57:42That song's like Piano Man
00:57:44Yeah
00:57:45It's got that whole
00:57:45It's like the waltzy
00:57:46That's what I mean
00:57:47She made it a competitive song
00:57:49Yeah that's true
00:57:50You know it definitely was cool
00:57:51It worked
00:57:52It really worked
00:58:00Welcome back to the knockouts premiere
00:58:06So we got two amazing young ladies coming out now
00:58:09Natasha's got that soulful smooth vibe
00:58:12And then Sid is like powerhouse
00:58:15I'm looking forward to it
00:58:16All right let's do it
00:58:17Hello
00:58:18Hi
00:58:19Look who's here we got the OG
00:58:21Oh my god
00:58:21I was so excited to see CeeLo Green
00:58:24What's up?
00:58:25Crazy
00:58:26It was one of the first songs I ever covered
00:58:28He's just such an icon
00:58:30Natasha talk to us
00:58:32What song have you chosen?
00:58:34I'm singing another sad love song by Toni Braxton
00:58:37Good one
00:58:38All right so let's try it
00:58:40It's just another sad love song
00:58:43It's just another sad love song
00:58:43Ripping my brain
00:58:44Natasha is super cool
00:58:46Like a really pronounced lounge singer
00:58:50Extraordinarist
00:58:50Vestos love
00:58:52A lounge may be a smaller stage
00:58:54But the crowd that's gathered around them
00:58:57So like it's just as significant
00:58:58You've got a smooth, sultry voice
00:59:01But I wanted to see you go even further
00:59:03Okay
00:59:03It doesn't have the smoothness and sultriness
00:59:06That I know you can deliver
00:59:08It feels too happy
00:59:10What if we just to stay in babyface land
00:59:13Made it feel like when can I see you again?
00:59:15Ah
00:59:16There you go
00:59:16Let's start with that with the guitar okay?
00:59:19Same tempo
00:59:20Ooh
00:59:20Yeah
00:59:21I already feel it
00:59:22So be sultrier
00:59:23Think about who you are as a character in this song
00:59:27Think about that pain
00:59:28It's just another sad love song
00:59:32Wrecking my brain
00:59:33Ooh
00:59:33That was way better
00:59:35Yeah
00:59:36Hey
00:59:37Natasha has so many strings
00:59:39It's completely different from my vibe
00:59:41I love it
00:59:42Thanks so much y'all
00:59:43Thank you
00:59:43Oh my
00:59:44So that in itself like very much intimidates me
00:59:47I chose Tell Me You Love Me by Demi Lovato
00:59:50My college experience
00:59:52I was really big in musical theater
00:59:54And I was told no a lot
00:59:56I started to believe a lot of those people
00:59:59So now when I say tell me you love me
01:00:01I'm literally screaming at myself
01:00:03Tell yourself you love you
01:00:05I love that
01:00:05You know
01:00:06Can't wait to hear it
01:00:07Oh tell me you love me
01:00:10I need someone
01:00:13I need someone
01:00:14On days like this I do
01:00:16Sid crazy range
01:00:18Crazy power
01:00:19Crazy ability
01:00:20No doubt
01:00:20She has just a remarkable gift
01:00:22gift.
01:00:28The range, the skill level,
01:00:31the style, it just shows
01:00:33the level of Sid's confidence as an
01:00:35artist that she's taking on these big challenges.
01:00:37No doubt.
01:00:38You. You.
01:00:41You.
01:00:44I'm so impressed, effective
01:00:46immediately. So good.
01:00:48Thank you. Your challenge is
01:00:50how to channel your own story.
01:00:52Into how you deliver this
01:00:54song. But other than that,
01:00:56it sounds incredible.
01:00:58Ash, come back over.
01:01:00I have keepsakes
01:01:02for the both of you. Oh my gosh.
01:01:05Sid and Natasha,
01:01:06very stylistically different, but
01:01:08each of them can be amazing
01:01:10in their own space. You got wisdom.
01:01:12Pearls of wisdom. To be great is to
01:01:14be misunderstood. I paint flowers
01:01:17so they will not die.
01:01:19I'm really watching the stage
01:01:20to see
01:01:21who feels like they belong there
01:01:23and make me get out of my head
01:01:25and just listen with my heart.
01:01:27Yes!

01:03:44Let's go Natasha
01:03:55Welcome back to the Knockouts
01:04:01With another sad love song, here is Natasha Blaine
01:04:11Since you've been gone I've been hanging around
01:04:15He laid me with my mind, I'm stuck
01:04:21Jumped in my car, tried to clean my mind
01:04:26Didn't help me, guess I'm all messed up in
01:04:32Soon as I jumped into my rhyme
01:04:37Memories start to play
01:04:42A song comes on, on the radio
01:04:47There you are baby, once again
01:04:52It's just another sad love song
01:04:56Wrecking my brain like crazy
01:04:59Guess I'm all torn, be it fast or slow
01:05:06It doesn't let go or shake me
01:05:14Here come the strings
01:05:17And somebody sings
01:05:19Only takes a beat
01:05:21And then it starts killing me
01:05:24Darling
01:05:25Only takes one note
01:05:27From that radio
01:05:29Just to know
01:05:31Just to know the lonely love song
01:05:41Just to know the lonely love song
01:05:51Hey
01:05:52I can't let go or shake me
01:05:56It's all because of you
01:06:08Very nice
01:06:09Very nice
01:06:11Yeah
01:06:12Yeah
01:06:13Yay
01:06:15Woo
01:06:18Fantastic
01:06:19Alright
01:06:21Excellent job by the way, both of you guys
01:06:23Thank you
01:06:23So different, I mean so different
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
01:06:36So great job
01:06:37Thank you
01:06:39Sid, 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, 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
01:07:38Thanks
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
01:07:46Sid, 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
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
01:08:22Thank you
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, especially on a show called The Voice
01:08:38That was a close one
01:08:40Top nine feels so crazy to me and I can't even believe that I'm saying it
01:08:44I'm going to the top nine
01:08:47Team legend
01:08:56Welcome back to The Voice Battle of Champions
01:09:02Do you remember the first day we shot the show?
01:09:05They put us in these big red goofy chairs
01:09:08And then they just basically said go
01:09:10It was definitely on the job training for sure
01:09:12And then look at all this
01:09:13Like everyone in the world knows what The Voice is
01:09:16We built this city
01:09:20Without this city
01:09:21You ready?
01:09:24I'm ready, you 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
01:09:31They're going to have to get through each other
01:09:33I bought you all a present
01:09:34Yo
01:09:35Oh wow
01:09:36Walking in and seeing CeeLo
01:09:37That was crazy
01:09:39The one and only
01:09:41How you doing?
01:09:41How you doing?
01:09:41What an honor
01:09:42He is my childhood inspiration
01:09:44Goody mob all day
01:09:45My 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
01:09:52John 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
01:10:10All 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 and Tammy Terrell
01:10:19I 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
01:10:40I've been working at this since I was 16
01:10:42And being on the voice stage is
01:10:45It's nothing like it
01:10:46Let's hear some music
01:10:47Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby
01:10:51I think it's a good choice
01:10:52I think it's smart
01:10:53It's doing a song that everybody wants to hear
01:10:55It's just about how he's going to deliver it
01:10:56Oh, nothing like the real thing
01:11:00Jeremy has so much more experience than I do
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
01:11:19Don't get too heady about it
01:11:22Right
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
01:11:29You'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 like you want to carry that run over
01:11:42Right
01:11:43Then it overshoots the mark of where the hook should come back in
01:11:46Because that's the satisfaction
01:11:48Adam, touch it again
01:11:49We're good with the BGVs too
01:11:50Okay, great, let'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
01:12:11Much, much better, yeah
01:12:12The confidence started to shine
01:12:15Marvin Gaye is one of my all-time favorites
01:12:17Ooh, crisis averted
01:12:19Ooh, Mike
01:12:21Hey, Mikey
01:12:22What's good, man?
01:12:23Mike Steele 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
01:12:35And 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 to be the king of the jungle
01:13:10Yeah
01:13:13All right, 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 and 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 when you do this, you 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, to your left
01:13:37Exactly
01:13:38This audience is your friend
01:13:40Sing it to them
01:13:41I got you
01:13:42Have fun
01:13:42I got you
01:13:43So before you guys go
01:13:45There is a message in each pocket on my morning jacket
01:13:49It's deep down
01:13:50I 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
01:14:18Let's go
01:14:33Let's go
01:14:41He has good fashion taste
01:14:43Yeah
01:14:43He has good fashion taste
01:14:43He goes 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 that we hooked up
01:14:59I was driving you
01:15:01I was driving you
01:15:01You were walking and I shook you up
01:15:03From that moment on I knew you were the one
01:15:07You were lucky and we fell in love
01:15:11We would sit and talk for hours about anything
01:15:17Maybe you hang up on three
01:15:19I bought you with my pager and I gave you everything
01:15:27How are you going to love?
01:15:32How are you going to act like that?
01:15:37How are you going to change it all? We just need to speak love
01:15:41How are you going to act like that?
01:15:45How are you going to act like that?
01:15:47You know I'm willing to do anything
01:15:50Just to keep you in my heart
01:15:55I messed around and gave up everything
01:15:59I thought we'd never wrong
01:16:03I was a player and I made the choice to give my heart to you
01:16:15And I was a player and I made the choice to give my heart
01:16:17How are you going to act like that?
01:16:21How are you going to treat me so wrong?
01:16:26Can somebody tell me why, why, baby?
01:16:36How are you going to trip? How can you forget?
01:16:41How are you going to act like that?
01:16:44Oh, whoa.
01:16:49Yeah!
01:17:01Welcome back.
01:17:09With ain't nothing like the real thing,
01:17:12here's Jeremy Keith.
01:17:19Ooh, hey.
01:17:22Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby.
01:17:27Ain't nothing like the real thing.
01:17:31No, no.
01:17:32Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby.
01:17:37Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:17:41I've got your picture hanging on the wall.
01:17:44But you can't see or come to me when I call your name.
01:17:48I realize you're just a picture in a frame.
01:17:53And I need your letters when you're not here.
01:17:57But they don't move me and they don't prove me like when I hear your sweet voice whispering in my
01:18:05ear.
01:18:06Yeah.
01:18:06Yeah, yeah.
01:18:10Ooh, ooh, ooh.
01:18:13Yeah.
01:18:14Ain't nothing like, yeah.
01:18:16I'll play my game of fantasy, but I'll pretend that I'm not in reality.
01:18:25I need the shelter of your arms to come for me, no other.
01:18:32Your name, no touch, can you have this much to make me feel better?
01:18:40So let's stay together.
01:18:46Oh, baby, nothing like the real thing, no.
01:18:58So, nothing like the real, real, real, real thing.
01:19:11Go, Jimmy!
01:19:18That 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, 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.
01:19:49You got a little lost in it, in a good way.
01:19:51I don't mean lost as in, oh man, you couldn't find your way back or land the plane.
01:19:55That's how I am with talking.
01:19:57It's like, I'll find my point at some point and land.
01:19:59She'll land the plane.
01:20:00But I will land the plane.
01:20:02You guys, you're both so good.
01:20:04Man, I don't know.
01:20:05You'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.
01:20:26So that's why it makes it really hard.
01:20:28You're screwed.
01:20:30I know.
01:20:31Okay.
01:20:31Thank you, coaches.
01:20:33That's hard.
01:20:35All right, Adam.
01:20:35Tough decision.
01:20:36What did you think about the knockout?
01:20:37I thought they were great and they should both stay.
01:20:40It's really tough because, Jeremy, you are ready now.
01:20:43You have a fantastic voice.
01:20:45We haven't even really seen the full range of what is possible.
01:20:48And in Mike, there's a quality to what you do that's really different.
01:20:51I haven't heard many singers with that tone like yours.
01:20:54That's what was making this all very close because 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.
01:21:45Thank you guys.
01:21:58See ya, guys.
