Let's go, let's go, let's go.
Give it up for our coaches -- John Legend, Gwen Stefani,
Camila Cabello, and Blake Shelton. Hey! Whoo!
Let's go!
Come on.
* Ooh, your wicked ways *
**
Let's have a chat for a second.
Carson Daly! Carson!
Good to see you guys. Hey, Gwen. Hi.
Are you surprised ever by what your team is performing?
They blow me away. Like, the growth that they have
in a really short amount of time is shocking to me.
You just never know what's gonna happen.
Blake, this is the first time we've done three-way knockouts.
What's it been like to say goodbye to two artists?
Terrible. This is terrible.
A horrible experience? Yeah.
Camila, are you excited to go live?
You haven't done that yet.
I am so excited to go live. So, what could go wrong?
They actually have, like, a timer for how long you can talk.
Oh, you're screwed. Are you serious?
Oh, man. It's gonna be hard for me.
And, John, you're the only one that has a steal left.
I'm just gonna allow the music to move me,
and hopefully, I'll be able to steal somebody amazing.
Good luck, Coaches. Here we go.
The knockouts continue right now on "The Voice".
Alright. Three-way knockout rehearsals.
Here we come.
We are not told who we're gonna go up against.
Alright, guys, come on out.
Oh, man. What are those emotions gonna be like?
Oh, hi. I knew it was gonna be you, Cara.
Yeah, I kinda had a feeling it would be you, too, Kayla.
[ Laughs ]
I'm a big fan, so... Oh, my gosh!
Oh, my God. I'm singing against Kayla and Cara?
It's gonna be so hard because we all have
such unique and amazing voices, but I'm also happy
because I believe even in doing the knockouts,
we're all gonna pull something out of each other
that we maybe didn't know that was there.
This is a three-way knockout. Never been done before.
It's literally brutal. Two people going home.
I had to pick somebody for you guys to be with.
You're the vets, right? Had to put you together.
Everybody is super gifted and talented and deserves to be here.
It's gonna be, like, for me,
who is ready to go to the lives?
So exciting. Yay! I'm so excited.
Me, too.
Cara's going first, so you guys can go be the audience.
Awesome. Okay.
So, I chose "Love Me Like a Man" by Bonnie Raitt.
It's blues. It combines being a storytelling song
with also, like, a powerhouse kinda.
Cool. I'm excited to hear it
because I haven't heard your voice,
in this kind of a lane before, so... Yeah, yeah.
I'm really, really excited for you to hear it.
* These men I've been seein', baby *
Cara: "Love Me Like a Man" is about female empowerment,
about being a strong person, finding another strong person,
and the trials and tribulations to get there.
Vocally, it's an opportunity for me to belt it out,
just sing my heart out. [ Laughs ]
I just want that to really shine through
and be the thing that takes me to lives.
* You can love me *
Gwen: This was a really good song choice for her.
It lets her sing a little harder.
I think she's classy. I think she's tasteful.
And also, I sense that she's just a true artist as well.
She loves telling stories through songs.
So good!
Wow. Good job picking a song that's completely different
from what everybody's seen so far.
I love her song. Yeah. It's good.
Cara's like a firecracker.
She's able to captivate the audience.
I mean, she had me.
It's definitely something that I'm having to keep an eye on.
But I love the challenge.
Even at the beginning, I was like, "Gosh, I kinda want her to, like,
sing it harder," you know, just to see where your voice will go
and play more with the character,
be a little more flirty and a little bit more animated.
You do have cameras all over you,
so you can do it in your face.
Gwen: Cara needs to really just convince me
that this is her song and her story.
She's already really good.
I just want to take her to the next, like -- next level.
Oh, gosh. Justin, I'm excited to hear this song.
This is obviously a perfect choice. Yeah.
Okay, let's hear it. Okay.
The song I'm singing for knockouts is "Can We Talk"
by the great Tevin Campbell.
* Last night, I *
Such a fun song.
But the song is about, you know, a shy guy.
I am shy, which is crazy.
I'm out in the open and big personality
when I'm not singing, but when it's time to sing,
leading praise and worship at my church, I'm like,
"Okay. What are the words again?"
So I think it's time that Justin Aaron
gets out of the box.
I want to showcase my praise and worship skills,
but I also want to showcase
the different styles of songs that I like to do.
* Girl, I want to know your name *
Let go of the person that you think you are
and start to swag out a little bit more.
Gwen: Justin is probably my most skilled singer,
and he's on a stage all the time, but it's in a church.
Well, he picked a song that doesn't belong in a church.
Take the mic off the stand. Right.
Gwen: You're gonna own the stage
and you're gonna be a little more swaggy with it.
You have to kinda bring out your alter ego.
But I wasn't quite sure
if he was gonna be able to let go and be free
in the short amount of time that we got to work together.
* Whoa *
* Girl, next * Whoo!
* Next time you come my way *
I can see him find himself. It was like this crazy moment.
It's only gonna get better with him.
* Come and talk to me, baby * Okay, okay.
Kayla: Justin was kinda surprising.
He's just, like, such a powerhouse.
He has a strong, beautiful voice.
Oh, this round is very competitive and it's very tense.
That actually puts, like, a fire under your bottom.
* Oh, life is bigger *
"Losing my religion" is actually a southern term
for, like, just being at your wit's end.
I really think of how much
I've had to fall and get back up again.
You have to put yourself out there
and get rejected a few times,
a bunch of times [chuckles]
and then you have to keep going.
You're baring your whole soul with your music,
and this song kind of like reminds me of that resilience.
So pretty. Gwen: Oh, my gosh, there are so many good things happening.
When you do the melody of the song the way it was written,
it is absolutely incredible.
Stick to it. Yeah.
And just pick out those moments that in your heart, say,
"Okay, I have to sing this part like this
because this is how I feel." Yeah.
Kayla picked a really great song for her style.
She is so unique already that if she sticks to the melody,
it's gonna be this completely new version
and people are gonna be super impressed.
With your body language,
I think you need to creep the stage a little bit.
Oh, for sure.
Let people know the pain.
You're losing yourself in this game.
You know what I'm saying? Yes, yeah.
She took so many notes and she really came a long way.
She's just very flexible. I think that's really important.
Anytime I've collaborated with someone,
that's always been my -- my best work I've ever done.
This is gonna make it so hard for me. [ Laughs ]
Oh!
I'm excited. It'll be fun.
Kayla's voice is haunting in a beautiful way.
You're just looking like, "Oh, my God."
Like, "This voice is coming out of you?"
I think that you all really did, in my opinion, improve.
If you get it right, you're gonna go on to the lives,
which is so fun. Absolutely.
Cara: Excited. Yay.
Gwen: We're in a place in the competition
where you want to see them take it to the next level.
Everybody is equally very, very good.
So it's making it really hard for me.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Man: Let's make some noise one more time!
[ Cheers and applause ]
Cara!
Singing "Love Me Like a Man", here is Cara Brindisi.
[ Cheers and applause ]
**
* These men that I've been seein', baby *
* Got their soul up on a shelf *
* You know they could never love me *
* When they can't even love themselves *
* But I need someone to love me *
* Someone who really understands *
Beautiful. Beautiful!
She's so good.
* Who won't put himself above me *
* Who just loves me like a man *
[ Cheers and applause ]
**
* Never seen such losers, darling *
* Even though I tried to find *
* A man who could take me home *
* Instead of takin' me for a ride *
* And I need someone who loves me *
Get 'em!
* I know you can *
* Believe me when I tell you *
* You can love me like a man *
She's so good!
* They all want me to rock them *
Whoo! * Like my back ain't got no bone *
* I want a man to rock me *
* Like my backbone was his own *
* Whoo, darlin', I know you can *
* I know you can *
* Believe me when I tell you *
* You can love me *
* Won't you put yourself above me *
* You just love me-e-e-e *
* Like a man *
[ Cheers and applause ]
Oh, my God!
[ Cheers and applause ]
What am I supposed to do?!
Oh, that was so good.
Daly: Coming up... * Can we talk *
Daly: ...performances that astonish our coaches...
* Got nothin' to say *
* Rain *
Oh, my God!
And I was like...
Daly: ...leading to impossible decisions...
Oh, my God! This is so hard!
I thought my songs
were the only country songs you listen to.
Well, busted.
I'm so emotional right now.
Daly: ...as the artists fight
for the final spots in the live playoffs.
The winner of this knockout.... ...knockout...
The winner of this knockout...
[ Whoosh ] Daly: That is the sound of a steal!
* This is "The Voice" *
Daly: Welcome back to the final night of knockouts.
[ Cheers and applause ]
He's so cute. Whoo!
Now with "Can We Talk", here is Justin Aaron.
**
Hey! Hey, hey, hey!
* Last night, I *
* I saw you standing *
* And I started *
* Started pretending *
* I knew you *
* And you knew me, too *
* Whoa-oa-oa-oa-oa *
* Girl, next * Yeah!
* Next time you come my way * Yeah!
* I'll know just what to say *
* Can we talk for a minute? *
* Oh, girl, girl, I want to know your name *
* Can we talk for a minute? *
* Girl, I want to know your name *
* Oh, girl *
* One more chance *
* With you again *
* And I will not let it go *
* Oh, please *
* Give me just one more chance *
* For loooooove *
* Can we talk for a minute? *
* Oh, girl *
* Said I wanna know, I wanna know your name *
* Can we talk for a minute? *
* Girl, I want to know your name *
* Can we talk *
* Said come and talk to me, baby *
* I want to talk to ya, baby *
* I said I wanna know, I wanna know your name *
* Can we talk? *
[ Cheers and applause ]
Oh, my God!
That was crazy!
Justin!
You have no idea.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Now with "Losing My Religion", here is Kayla Von der Heide.
**
* Oh, life is bigger *
* Bigger than you *
* And you are not me *
Whoa.
* The lengths that I will go to *
* The distance in your eyes *
* Oh, no, I've said too much *
* I set it up *
* That's me in the corner *
* That's me in the spotlight *
* Losing my religion *
* Trying to keep up with you *
* And I don't know if I can do it *
* Oh, no, I've said too much *
* I haven't said enough *
* I thought that I heard you laughing *
* I thought that I heard you sing *
* Oh, I think I thought I saw you try *
* But that was just a dream *
* Just a dream *
* Try, cry, try, cry *
* That was just a dream *
* Just a dream *
* Just a dream, dream *
Wow. So beautiful.
Wow.
[ Cheers and applause ]
You have a really inspiring team.
Thank you. To me, this was the sexiest knockout.
[ Laughs ]
Kayla, I think your performance was stunning and masterful.
You have so much personality
coming through these cover songs,
but I'm excited to hear your music.
Absolutely. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Justin, did we have a moment,
or did I imagine it?
We did. We did.
Because he pointed at me, and I literally was flustered.
Like, I was like, "Should I get on stage right now?"
Oh, my God.
I just kept it here, and I was like...
[ Laughter ]
I was -- I was shaking what my mama gave me for you.
[ Laughter ]
It totally went into freaking superstar land.
The whole room kind of lifted and it felt joyous.
It felt like we were watching somebody be...
Thank you so much.
...sexy and have fun. Thank you.
Cara, you were so sexy. It felt so empowered.
I think all three of you guys brought the sauce and the swag.
I think for this one, I don't know. Gwen: Alright.
I feel like all three of you have mastered your lane.
You know, you're -- you're so different.
Kayla, she for sure did her own take on an R.E.M. song,
and it was so good and masterful.
Yeah. But also, it always kind of comes back
to what these two have done, you know?
And that's just kind of how people make it
through the gauntlet that is "The Voice", you know?
Gauntlet? No, I was thinking goblet
'cause I wanted a drink, yeah.
Think "American Gladiators". It's like an obstacle course.
It's like a tour de force.
It's like a medieval -- a medieval thing. Like getting lost in the sauce.
But my vote is for Justin.
Thank you so much. Thank you.
Wow. Mm.
Kayla, I love your vibrato.
I love the flutter in your voice.
It just sounds emotional and human.
Justin, the higher parts of the song,
once you got into that part, it was like superstar land.
You also had, like, just a swagger about you.
Cara, you were flawless.
[ Applause ]
Charming.
You delivered it with such confidence.
I don't know how Gwen decides
because I don't know what to do, honestly.
I don't, either. So there's that.
Daly: Gwen, a tough one here.
What'd you think of the knockout?
I'm so emotional right now. Aww.
We had so much fun together.
Just to be able to share and to, like, watch you grow
is just so unbelievably fulfilling for me.
Cara, the way that you were able to channel what you were feeling
through your eyes, it was phenomenal.
There's nothing to say except for,
"Wow, wow, wow. You're great."
Thank you. Thanks. [ Applause ]
Amazing job.
Justin, he was performing it for me and I was like,
there was no swag. Ah.
And it was like 10 times flirtier
on this stage right now.
It was so good. Oh, yeah. So amazing.
And, Kayla, what God gave you is purity.
You know, this truth to who you are,
and nobody can sound like that.
Thank you. So the fact that you were able
to make that song your own
and make me believe that you wrote it, I'm just so --
Can you tell I'm proud right now? I mean, I'm so proud.
Camila: Yeah, you should be. John: You should be.
Alright, Gwen, who is the winner of this knockout?
This is impossible. Impossible.
I don't know, but I-I know I have to choose, Carson.
I'm gonna go ahead and say, um...
...the winner of this knockout is...
* This is "The Voice" *
Daly: Welcome back.
This is impossible. Impossible.
The winner of this knockout is...
Justin.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Daly: Congratulations, Justin Aaron!
Gwen: Justin -- he really took his gift to another level.
He doesn't really realize how gifted he is.
That was crazy. Thank you so much.
I can't believe how good -- You just went for it!
It was your coaching, man. Thank you.
No, it was -- it was you. It was you.
He's so coachable. There's no way that America
is not gonna fall in love with Justin.
We're just getting started.
Thanks, Gwen. You're flawless.
That was so incredible.
Yay.
I would have stolen Cara if I had a steal.
I felt really bad for Gwen in that knockout.
That was a really hard choice.
These three-way knockouts are so intense,
but only the best of the best can make it to the live shows.
That was really tough. Ugh.
It was so cool to watch Justin.
He's so adorable.
He's adorable. Adorable.
Blake: How you guys been?
-Good. -Good. How are you?
The fact that I only get to pick one person out of you three,
this is horrifying, you know that? Yeah.
Y'all want to do some singing?
Yeah. Yeah. Let's do it.
Bring it on, Austin. Alright.
Blake: I grouped Austin, Eva, and Brayden.
These artists are the youngest on my team,
and I just want to see which one of them
is the most ready for the lives.
I'm so nervous. [ Laughs ]
Uh-oh.
What are you doing? George Strait?
He's the king of country. It's one of my grandma's favorites.
Is that right? Yeah. That's so cute.
* Oh, how you sparkle *
* And oh, how you shine *
Austin: I'm gonna be singing "You Look So Good In Love".
I'm just gonna be performing this song for my grandma.
And the fact that she loves it, that makes me love it
and I want to give it my all.
* You look so good in love *
I love that song. And I like the melody.
I like the -- the speed of it. Yeah.
* I wish you still wanted me *
[ Sighs ] My grandma, she's the sweetest.
She's always shown up to everything I've done.
If supportive was a person, it would be my grandma.
We love you. Whoo!
Look at that. They're going crazy.
The crowd is going wild. Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you.
You're so authentic, and it comes through.
But there's one thing I think we need to work on.
Your vibrato is really quivery.
Yes.
It almost feels like you're rushing through the line
'cause George would be like --
* Oh, how you sparkle *
And where you're like --
* Oh, how you sparkle * Okay.
Just kind of loosening up and not sounding so intense. Okay.
Austin has a very unique style, old-school vintage sound.
Eva.
Oh, God. See you later. Go kill it.
If Austin can do his best to tame down that vibrato
but still be true to himself and true to this song,
he's gonna nail this performance.
Okay, Eva.
Good job. Thank you, sir.
You chose a super easy artist to cover.
Oh, yeah. The easiest. Ariana Grande.
I'm obsessed with her. [ Laughs ]
I'm singing "Dangerous Woman" by Ariana Grande.
* Somethin' 'bout you *
* Makes me feel *
It's all about a woman saying what she wants.
And I never thought I'd kind of
get to a point where I could do that comfortably.
* Somethin' 'bout *
I'm lucky to have a song that really shows off my range.
I feel like I'm finally stepping into that pop R&B genre
that I really like to be in.
And this is like maybe my first moment ever being able
to sing such a confident song on such a big stage.
* Somethin' 'bout you *
Wow.
Incredible, incredible. Thank you.
Blake: First of all, your range is crazy,
but you are more nervous than I've seen you... I don't know why I'm so nervous.
...in the blinds and the battles.
Your pitch in the chorus is --
sometimes, you were singing over the note... Okay.
...and then sometimes you were under it.
It's just, you're about to explode
standing there right now, you know? Yeah, yeah.
Just shake it off, you know? Yeah.
And I know that's easy for me to say
because I've been sitting in this chair
and under this stuff for 12 years now.
Yeah, it's all very exciting
in a slightly overwhelming way.
Yeah. I think you just need to know
I absolutely believe in my heart
you're one of the most powerful vocalists this season.
This is a good song choice
if Eva can calm herself down a little bit.
Thank you so much. That one's easy to follow.
Brayden: Eva, she can get up there,
hit all those notes, have some little runs.
I'm gonna have to perform my best to have a shot.
I'm singing "Mercy" by Brett Young.
My dad, he really likes the song "Mercy".
* Mercy *
I would always sing it in the car.
He was just like, "I feel like that
one will really suit your voice."
My dad's really supportive,
and he's just wanted me to go as far as I can.
* So, if you're gonna break my heart, just break it *
Mm. The pain.
Blake: I love Brayden's choice.
It's basically him and a piano.
That takes a lot of confidence, and I don't think Brayden
even realizes how good he is yet.
He not only has everything it takes to win this show,
he's got everything it takes to be a star.
* Have mercy *
Wow.
Whoo! Yeah!
That's really good, dude. Oh, my God.
That's good. I feel like crying over here.
You just got to give the performance of your life.
And I don't know if you've ever had your heart broken yet,
but you just got to put yourself in that mindset, you know,
how painful it must be for the guy singing this song,
and I think that'll help you become the lyric.
That's really it for you, man. It's so good.
Thank you.
Come on up here.
Blake: These kids are all so excited to be here,
and they all deserve it,
and the fact that only one of them is gonna move forward
on my team is just devastating.
These three-way knockouts, this is the toughest...
Brutal. ...twist they've ever thrown at me
in 22 seasons of doing this.
There's never been this much pressure
in the history of "The Voice".
* Dun, dun, dun *
[ Laughter ]
So, good luck!
Thank you. Thank you.
[ Cheers and applause ]
I still have my steal left.
These three-way knockouts are getting interesting.
Yes!
With "You Look So Good In Love", here is Austin Montgomery.
**
* Oh, how you sparkle *
* And oh, how you shine *
* That flush on your cheeks *
* It's more than the wine *
* And he must do something *
* That I didn't do *
* Whatever he's doing *
* It looks good on you *
* You look so good in love *
[ Cheers and applause ]
* You want him *
* That's easy to see *
* You look so good in love *
* I wish you still wanted me *
Austin! Oh, my God!
* You look so good in love *
* I wish you still wanted me *
[ Cheers and applause ]
Thank you. Thank you very much.
Blake: At the end there, "Thank you. Thank you very much."
Aww, he's so cute. "Thank you very much."
He's so cute. He's really cute.
[ Laughs ]
* This is "The Voice" *
Daly: Welcome back to "The Voice".
[ Cheers and applause ]
Now singing "Mercy", here's Brayden Lape.
**
* Mercy *
* Why you gotta show up lookin' so good just to hurt me? *
* Why you wanna stop this flame if it's still burning? *
* 'Cause it's still burning *
* So if you're gonna break my heart, just break it *
* And if you're gonna take your shot, then take it *
* Take it *
* If you made up your mind, then make it *
* But make this fast *
* If you ever loved me *
* Have mercy *
* Oh, oh *
* So if you're gonna break my heart, just break it *
Alright.
Yeah!
* And if you're gonna take your shot, take it *
* Take it *
* Oh, if you're gonna break my heart, just break it *
* And if you're gonna take your shot, then take it *
* Take it *
* If you made up your mind, then make it *
* But make this fast *
* If you ever loved me *
* Mmm *
* If you ever loved me *
* Have mercy *
Oh, my God! Ohh.
* Mmm *
* Have mercy *
I love him.
Oh, my God!
Yeah, Brayden.
I need a tissue. Are you in love with him?
He's just so sweet.
That was the best you ever sung. Oh, my God.
Now with "Dangerous Woman", here's Eva Ullmann.
**
Ow!
* Don't need permission *
* Made my decision to test my limits *
* 'Cause it's my business *
* God as my witness *
* Start what I finished *
* Don't need no hold up *
* Taking control of this kind of moment *
* I'm locked and loaded *
* Completely focused, my mind is open *
* All that you got, skin to skin, oh, my God *
* Don't you stop, boy *
* Somethin' 'bout you *
* Makes me feel like a dangerous woman *
* Somethin' 'bout, somethin' 'bout *
* Somethin' 'bout you *
* Makes me *
* Wanna do things that I shouldn't *
* Somethin' 'bout, somethin' 'bout *
Here we go!
* All girls wanna be like that *
* Bad girls underneath, like that *
* You know how I'm feeling inside *
* Somethin' 'bout, somethin' 'bout *
* All girls wanna be like that *
* Bad girls underneath, like that *
* You know how I'm feeling inside *
* Somethin' 'bout you *
[ Cheers and applause ]
Sheesh!
Alright.
Nice performances. Good job.
Thanks. Good job.
Hey, guys.
Hello. Howdy. Hello.
Brayden, I think Gwen fell in love with you.
In a mom way. Artistically --
In a mom way.
I love that song. That's one of my favorite songs.
I thought my songs were the only country songs
you listened to.
That hurts me a little bit.
Okay. Well, busted.
I think your tone is so beautiful
and has, like, an emotional innocence about it.
I know, like, every girl's
falling in love with you right now.
Thank you. [ Cheers and applause ]
Hey, Austin!
Hello. He stole the show for me.
Oh! Like, I love your song choice.
I love that you're kind of, like, an old soul, too.
You just got a cool thing going on.
I appreciate that. Thank you. [ Applause ]
Eva, it looked like you were having so much fun.
You were like, "This is my moment."
Your spirit is just so beautiful,
and I thought you did a great job.
Thank you so much. [ Applause ]
Brayden, I -- there's something so understated
about what you do, and it's just so natural.
I just wanted to say that as a mom,
that I think that you're really good.
Well, thank you. [ Cheers and applause ]
Austin, I just love watching you perform,
and I love that quiver in your voice.
It's really beautiful and soulful and authentic.
Thank you very much. [ Cheers and applause ]
Eva, it was a daring choice, and you went big with it.
I like that you picked this song.
I think just go for it.
You're trying to get to the lives.
Why not swing for the fences? And I think you did that.
And I thought more often than not, you really nailed it.
Thank you. [ Cheers and applause ]
Daly: Thank you, Coaches.
Blake, give us some thoughts on the three-way knockout.
Every one of you had your hands full
with the song that you chose.
Eva, man, you put the work in.
You did a great job. Thank you.
You did. [ Cheers and applause ]
And then, Brayden, you chose a song
that there was nowhere to hide in.
That's scary.
You get in the zone, and it's so good.
And I don't think you've sounded better.
I mean, everything was spot-on.
And Austin has this even older-school sound
of country music, where he has that harder, fast vibrato.
And so we were trying to figure out --
How do you smooth that out in this song?
You definitely had people freaking out back here,
so good job.
Daly: Blake, the time has come.
Who is the winner of this three-way knockout?
**
The winner of this knockout is Brayden.
[ Cheers and applause ] Brayden, congratulations!
Blake: I had to pick Brayden.
Brayden is only 16 years old, and he's already so good.
He's got an incredible tone.
Great job, man. Thank you.
Happy for you.
Every time he gets on the stage, he's taken huge steps.
So I think once we get into the lives,
he could be holding the trophy at the end of this thing.
Blake Shelton with the heart of gold.
Heart of gold.
* This is "The Voice" *
Daly: Welcome back to the knockouts
at Universal Studios Hollywood.
They're keeping us in these really top-secret rooms.
Like, we can't see anything that's going on,
can't really hear anything.
We won't know who we're going up against
until we're on the stage.
The suspense is killing me.
We're ready to go to the live shows.
We want to -- We want to do it. We want to go all the way.
So excited. Nervous, too.
'Cause this team can sing.
Alright. Come on out.
Hello!
Hi, John! Hi, John!
Look who's here. Hi!
Oh, my gosh! Hello!
Honestly, we were thrilled to see that we were singing
with Emma Brooke...
Oh, my gosh! It's Kim!
...and then Kim Cruse, who is a powerhouse vocal.
Come on in.
Ooh! Hey!
We've got four strong females on that stage.
It was exciting, but it was also nerve-racking.
John: The stakes are as high as they could be.
Making it to the lives is such a huge honor,
and if you're able to make it from this performance,
it can be really special for you.
Awesome. John: Alright.
We're gonna have The Marilynds go first.
Alright! Alrighty.
What a great group of women.
All different styles.
And I'm really excited
to see how each of them does in this round.
Daly: Whoa! I saved you, of course.
And I thought you deserved another chance.
* We'll do it all *
Kasey: So, we are singing "Chasing Cars" by Snow Patrol.
It's telling our story. And it hasn't been easy.
* On our own *
We have both had a number of different struggles --
self-esteem struggles,
feeling different, feeling isolated.
For me personally, it was trying to overcome that stereotype.
I was involved with pageants,
and it brought me the ability to sing all over the state.
It wasn't because I wanted to be crowned a winner of something.
* Would you lie with me *
It's a full-circle moment
to be able to perform "Chasing Cars".
We feel like finally we're able to share our voices
on a platform that really means something.
The harmonies sound gorgeous together, and I love the build. Thank you.
On the very beginning,
just make sure you're breathing to support those soft notes,
because those are sometimes the hardest to deliver with control.
Yeah. Okay. Okay.
And on that last "If I lay here,"
you might as well go down to the harmony right away
rather than doing the unison. Okay.
* Is here in your perfect eyes *
John: They've picked a really good song.
I think this is a really beautiful arrangement.
It takes advantage of all the strengths
that The Marilynds have.
* If I lay here *
Yes. John: The Marilynds are my only group.
And we've had some really successful sibling groups
on this show, including A Girl Named Tom.
So I think they have a lot of potential.
Good luck. Thanks.
You guys sounded great. Thank you.
So, I am singing "I Hope" by Gabby Barrett.
Oh, cool.
I really appreciate Gabby's theme of overcoming a challenge.
* I hope you hear a song *
Emma: Growing up, I've been classically trained.
And whenever I would tell people like,
"I think I'm gonna start getting into
this more contemporary stuff,"
people would say, "You really can't do anything else."
That was always a struggle for me.
* I hope you know she's the one by the end of the night *
To really be, like, a musician and a performer,
you have to let yourself be vulnerable onstage.
So I think that that's my main goal.
I really want to prove people wrong,
that they can look at me now on the "Voice" stage in knockouts
and say, "Wow. I never should have doubted her."
This song is sneaky... It is.
...'cause it's, like, a revenge song to an extent.
So the key for you is not, can you sing the notes?
'Cause you always do that beautifully.
But you want to communicate that emotion
in a way that the audience feels that.
* Hope you both feel the sparks by the end of the drive *
John: This song has attitude.
And Emma, she's got this classical training,
and I think she just needs to connect better to the material
and loosen up, get that attitude.
And the more she does that,
the more compelling her performance can be.
Kim! Good luck. You're gonna sound amazing.
Kim: The Marilynds, they sounded amazing.
And then Emma's voice is sobeautiful.
It's just like, "Okay.
We getting closer to those lives."
So it's about to be showtime.
What are we doing? I'm doing "Can't Stand the Rain"
by Ann Peebles.
I'm doing Tina Turner's version.
Oh, wow. Yeah.
Kim: Growing up in the country, we loved playing outside.
My parents would be like, "Okay. We're going fishing today."
And it would rain...
[ Laughing ] We're stuck in the rain.
...and we would get somad.
Yes. I'mma channel all of that.
* Can't stand the rain, yeah *
I think my family, they know just how much
I hated being inside because of the rain.
So I can only imagine what they're gonna say.
[ Laughs ]
So I'm gonna dedicate this song to y'all.
To all them years of me singing
to the top of my lungs in the bathroom...
[ Laughs ]
Love you, Brandon. And I miss you.
Bye.
* Get off of my window *
I want to prove that I am more
than just the smooth, jazzy, R&B-type singer.
They'll see I ain't came -- I ain't come to play.
Part of me wishes we could do, like, a little bit of a hybrid
between, like, a bluesier version and the '80s version.
Like, maybe start even more stripped down
and then rev up into this version. Okay.
'Cause I just want it to have that, like,
country stank to it, too.
You know what I'm saying? Okay.
* Hey, windowpane, yeah *
* Tell me, do you remember? *
Hey! John: I love Kim's voice so much.
She's got so much fire in her voice,
but also so much honey and smoothness.
With this arrangement, I want it to be stripped down
and feature her voice in a way that just lets it shine
before the band revs up all the way.
All you have to do is be the best version of you.
Go out there and deliver it with passion.
Connect to the song, connect to the audience,
and just leaving it all out here on the stage, okay?
Let's go, Team Legend!
Team Legend! Whoo!
Yes! John: Everyone's so good.
It's gonna be very difficult to get to the live rounds.
So give me that special, beautiful performance
that makes you undeniable.
[ Cheers and applause ]
**
Whoo!
Now singing "I Can't Stand the Rain",
here's Kim Cruse.
**
* I can't stand the rain *
* Against my window *
* Mm, hey *
* Bringin' back sweet memories *
* Hey, windowpane, yeah *
* Tell me, do you remember *
* Mmm, yeah * Whoo!
* How sweet it used to be? *
* Hmm, yeah *
* And when we were together *
Whoo! Hey!
* Everything was so grand *
* Whoa, yes, it was, baby *
* And now that we're apart now, oh *
* There's just one sound *
* That I just can't stand *
* Can't stand the rain *
* The rain against my window *
* Mm, ooh, ooh *
* A-bringin' back sweet memories, hey! *
* Say I can't stand the rain, the rain *
* Against my window *
* No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no * Oh, my God.
* 'Cause he ain't here with me *
* Hey, hey, I *
* And, oh, the empty pillow, yeah *
* Where my man's head used to lay *
* Hey, yeah *
* Said I know you got a sweet, sweet memory *
* But like the window, hey *
* You ain't got nothin' to say *
* Rain *
* Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, hey *
* Get off of my window *
* Hey, get off of my window *
* You got to, you got to get off of my window *
* Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah *
* I can't stand the rain *
Sing!
[ Cheers and applause ]
Sing, Kim!
[ Cheers and applause continue ]
Ha!
Geez!
* This is "The Voice" *
Daly: Welcome back.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Looking good.
You look so pretty!
With "I Hope", here's Emma Brooke.
**
* I *
* I hope she makes you smile *
* The way you made me smile on the other end of a phone *
* In the middle of a highway driving alone *
* Oh, baby *
* I hope you hear a song *
* That makes you sing along *
* And gets you thinking 'bout her *
* Then the last several miles turns into a blur *
* I hope you both feel the sparks by the end of the drive *
* I hope you know she's the one by the end of the night *
* You never ever felt more free *
* Tell your friends that you're so happy *
* I hope she comes along and wrecks every one of your plans *
* Spend your last dime to put a rock on her hand *
* She's wilder than your wildest dreams *
* She's everything you're ever gonna need *
* And then I hope she cheats *
* Like you did on me *
* And then I hope she cheats *
* Like you did on me *
* I hope it goes *
* Comes all the way around *
* I hope she makes you feel the same way about her *
* That I feel about you right now *
* I hope you both feel the sparks by the end of the drive *
* I hope you know she's the one by the end of the night *
* You never ever felt more free *
* Tell your friends that you're so happy-y-y-y *
* I hope she comes along and wrecks every one of your plans *
* I hope you spend your last dime to put a rock on her hand *
* She's wilder than your wildest dreams *
* She's everything you're ever gonna need *
* And then I hope she cheats *
* Like you did on me *
* And then I hope she cheats *
* Like you did on me-e-e-e *
* Yeah-ah *
* Like you did on me-e-e-e *
[ Cheers and applause ] Yeah.
Yes. Yes. Yes.
She was really good. Yeah.
That was very strong.
Now with "Chasing Cars", Here are The Marilynds.
**
* We'll do it all *
* Everything *
* On our own *
[ Cheers and applause ]
* We don't need *
* Anything *
* Or anyone *
* If I lay here *
* If I just lay here *
* Would you lie with me *
* And just forget the world? *
* Forget what we're told *
* Before we get too old *
* Show me a garden *
* That's bursting into life *
* All that I am *
* All that I ever was *
* Is here in your perfect eyes *
* They're all I can see *
Yes!
* If I lay here *
* If I just lay here *
* Would you lie with me and *
* Just forget the world? *
Wow.
Yes.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Beautiful!
That was pretty.
Blake: I mean, I'll start with The Marilynds.
That's by a mile the best I've heard you two sing.
Holy crap, that was good.
Thank you.
Kind of damn Wilson Phillips stuff
happening up there or something.
I mean, that was good.
And then, Emma, I'm not surprised by how great you were.
You never waver. You're just always so good.
Kim, I mean --
You know that sauce you were talking about earlier?
She's drowning in it. She's drowning in the sauce.
She's drowning in the -- the sauce.
Thank you, Blake.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Kim, you were a dragon up there.
Like, it was just fire.
You've always been one of the most gifted
and masterful vocalists of the show,
but today I was starstruck.
Emma, I thought it was such a great song choice.
I felt the vulnerability.
But if it were me, like, the stage was set on fire by Kim.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Thank you.
The Marilynds -- the harmonies, the song choice.
I thought it just felt
like a very artistic version of that song.
You made it yours.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Kim, you're so talented,
and you are so good at picking the right moments to shine.
It's mind-blowing.
It doesn't make sense on paper
that you can actually sing like that.
[ Laughter ] I want to see it again.
Can we rewind it so I can, like, actually see it?
Because I was out of my mind.
Thank you. Thank you, Coaches.
John, what'd you think?
Emma, we talked so much about what the song means.
It sets itself up as a sweet song about,
"I hope you find a nice girl"
and then, "I hope she cheats on you
like you did on me." It's so good.
And you've got to be able
to, like, carry that twist of the knife
vocally and physically.
And I really thought you did it so well.
Yeah. I liked it even when you smiled
'cause it was like a sly smile, like --
Yeah. like, "I got plans for you."
[ Laughter ]
And I just want you to know how proud I am to see you
just looking more like a star every time you're onstage.
Thank you so much.
Kim, you have all these gifts,
and then you do all these little things
that just make it seem like you wrote the song.
You own every moment,
and you do it with such precision
and then with such fire at the same time.
It's just stunning to watch.
Thank you. [ Cheers and applause ]
And The Marilynds --
your harmonies were just magical together.
You conveyed the emotion of the song in your own way,
but it felt super authentic.
I felt your love for each other and your love for the song.
It was really powerful.
Thank you. Thank you.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Daly: John, a tough decision, but the time has come.
Who is the winner of this knockout?
I want to say that each of you
gave the best performance you've given on this show today.
What it says to me is that you keep growing,
you're taking in all the input you're getting from all of us.
You really delivered tonight. It was amazing.
**
But of course, we have to choose a winner,
and the winner of this knockout is...
* This is "The Voice" *
Daly: Welcome back to the knockouts.
[ Cheers and applause ]
John, a tough decision, but the time has come.
Who is the winner of this knockout?
[ Dramatic music plays ]
**
The winner of this knockout is Kim Cruse.
Kim Cruse. Congratulations!
You're moving on to the live playoffs!
John: I had to pick Kim 'cause she's just a world-class vocalist,
just commanded the stage
and was so intentional with everything she did.
America's got to love her. She's so great.
Give it up for The Marilynds one more time,
ladies and gentlemen!
This is such a difficult process for us as coaches
because it's so rough when you have to send two people home.
Give it up one more time for Emma Brooke,
ladies and gentlemen!
Thank you. Thank you.
So good!
Damn it. I would've taken Emma.
Blake: If I'd have had a steal, I think Emma
would have definitely been a candidate
'cause I think she's so super talented.
Come on in, fellas! Surprise, Surprise!
Ohh, dude! Hey!
Camila: For this knockout, I grouped together
Andrew, Devix, and Steven.
Devix! Whoo!
I wasn't expecting this. Alright.
These are my three emotional male vocalists.
Who's gonna go first? I think I am.
Okay. Yeah?
Alright. Let's do it, Andrew.
I picked "Everybody Hurts" by R.E.M.
Oh, I love that song!
I wanna hear.
* When your day is long *
* And the night *
Pop-rock genre is not necessarily my lane,
but I really, really like the song
emotionally, sonically, and this song connects to me
in that I've definitely dealt with
social anxiety and anxiety.
When I was studying for the medical exam,
I was isolating for long periods of time,
but being able to bond and connect over music and singing,
it was an area in my life where I didn't feel
any of that anxiety or stress.
* Hurts *
That's beautiful. Thank you.
You don't have to do a lot to make people feel something
because your tone and your voice is that special.
So, for me, like, that first verse --
* When your day is long *
* And the night *
Lengthening all of those notes will be really beautiful.
Mm-hmm. It's gonna be a mixture
of loosening up your body and your mouth.
We're gonna run around five times to loosen up. Give me your mic.
Andrew really does struggle with self-doubt and anxiety.
Flap around your arms like spaghetti.
If Andrew can get out of his head...
You're the best.
...I think that will make it a better performance.
I'm so happy that you're here.
I'm happy to be on your team.
I really loved that you used your save on me.
Daly: We've got a save!
What are you singing?
I'm singing "It Will Rain" by Bruno Mars.
I love that song!
I love it, too. It's sentimental.
I know my wife, Danielle, is gonna smile.
I love that. I can't wait to hear you sing this song.
* If you ever leave me, baby *
Camila: This is a very vocally challenging song,
but Steven is my pop singer-songwriter,
powerhouse vocalist, and I think this Bruno song
could be a great moment for him.
* There'll be no sunlight *
* If I lose you, baby *
Steven: The song is talking about what it would feel like to lose you.
It's almost, like, channeling that desperation
in a sweet way.
I can definitely apply it to so many times I've -- Whew.
Danielle and I have been married a long time.
There's been plenty of chapters.
She's believed in me and all the craziness
of building a career in music.
I love Danielle a lot.
Hi. Danielle: Hi.
I miss you. Are you doing okay?
Yeah. It's okay.
I've been gone a long time. I'm gonna get emotional.
We're here and alright.
Thank you for holding it down and letting me do this.
I love you!
I love you, too.
Vocally, it's a little bit sometimes hitting
the same spots for you. Uh-huh.
What if before you go into the last chorus... Uh-huh.
If you go into either a falsetto or an octave lower,
where it's like -- * There'll be no sunshine *
* If I lose you, baby * Hey!
* Just like the clouds, my eyes will do the same *
Watching Steven is very scary.
He's hitting notes that I can't hit.
You should definitely do that. Okay.
It's awesome. Thank you.
Appreciate it. I can't wait.
Now I got to tackle even more about,
you know, who I am as an artist
and kind of pull even more out of me.
Devix, what are you singing?
Hi. I'm singing "Yellow" by Coldplay.
Ohh! I love that song! I want to hear it.
* Look at the stars *
* Look how they shine for you *
There's just a lot of nostalgia
that comes from this song for me.
Me and my family, this was a song
that we repeatedly watched on MTV.
So for them to see me grow at the same time
and see me kind of come back to the original little Devix,
it's awesome
because a big part of me that wants to take this experience
and rope this back into supporting my family.
My mom has cerebral palsy.
Everything's been so rough for her.
She's a single mother in a five-sibling family.
I've gotten so much support from her,
and I want to be able to give that back.
* Your skin *
* Oh, yeah, your skin and bones *
Camila: I love this song for Devix.
He's, like, my indie alternative guy,
and I think he's a real artist.
He is so intentional behind his choices.
And also his tone is just so magical.
Whoa. That was stunning.
Whew. Thank you.
Really great. It's crazy.
Everybody who's still here is so genuinely gifted.
The three-way knockout is kind of savage, to be honest.
There is a way to, I think, build a bridge a little bit more
between what the instrumental is doing
and what your body language is on stage.
Don't try to do anything that doesn't feel authentic to you,
but play in a way that feels fun. Sure.
'Cause if it's not fun,
then you're not gonna want to do it. Yeah.
Something I've struggled with throughout my career
has very much been stage presence.
I'll just try stuff, and you can...
Just kind of follow along? You can try to copy me. Yeah.
I want to win this knockout,
so I need to start opening up my body, being more expressive.
**
* Look how they shine for you *
Camila -- it's really obvious that she cares
about what we're doing as performers,
and she's not afraid to put it all out there.
She is an awesome coach, so just really excited to keep working with her.
Just even you lifting your arms is so good. Yeah.
Come on up!
I think it's gonna come down to who can really commit
to the performance and come out of their shell.
You guys are all growing so much. I'm so happy.
I was, like, this tall when I got here.
I know. Me too! I actually have shrank. I got shorter.
Bring it all, man.
Camila: Guys. Steven: Group hug.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Yeah!
Devix!
Now with "Yellow", here's Devix.
**
* Look at the stars *
* Look how they shine for you *
* And everything you do *
* Yeah, they were all yellow *
* I came along *
* And I wrote a song for you *
* And all the things you do *
* And it was called "Yellow" *
* Ooh *
* So then I took my turn *
[ Cheers and applause ]
* Oh, what a thing to have done *
* It was all yellow *
[ Cheers and applause ]
**
* Your skin *
* Oh, yeah, your skin and bones *
* Turn into something beautiful *
* You know, for you I'd bleed myself dry *
* For you I'd bleed myself dry *
[ Cheers and applause ]
* Look how they shine for you *
* Look how they shine for you, oh, oh *
* Look how they shine *
* Look at the stars * Yeah.
* Look how they shine for you *
* And all the things that you *
* Do *
[ Cheers and applause ]
* This is "The Voice" *
Daly: Welcome back to "The Voice".
[ Cheers and applause ]
Yeah!
Yeah.
Andrew!
With "Everybody Hurts", here's Andrew Igbokidi.
**
* When your day is long *
* And the night *
* The night is yours alone *
* When you're sure you've had enough *
* Of this life *
* Well, hang on *
* Everybody hurts *
Nice!
* Take comfort in your friends *
* Everybody hurts *
* Hold on *
Come on.
* Hold on *
* Everybody h-u-u-u-urts *
* Everybody h-u-u-u-u-urts *
* Everybody *
* Hurts *
[ Cheers and applause ]
Whoo!
Yeah!
And now with "It Will Rain", here's Steven McMorran.
**
* If you ever leave me, baby *
Whoa!
* Leave some morphine at my door *
* 'Cause it'll take a whole lot of medication *
* To realize what we used to have *
* We don't have it anymore *
* There's no religion that could save me *
* No matter how long my knees are on the floor *
* So *
* Keep in mind all the sacrifices I'm makin' *
* To keep you by my side *
* And keep you from walkin' out the door *
* 'Cause there'll be no sunlight *
* If I lose you, baby *
* There'll be no clear skies *
* If I lose you, baby *
* Just like the sky *
* My eyes will do the same *
* If you walk away *
* Every day it'll rain *
* Rain *
* R-a-a-ain *
* Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh *
[ Cheers and applause ]
**
Camila. These are your boys!
I'm so proud of them.
I'll start with Andrew.
That first note when you came in just reminded me
so much of why I was obsessed with you at the blinds.
Yeah. You have such a beautiful tone.
I love you. [ Chuckles ]
Thanks.
And, Steven, I can see that you're on stage
trying to, like, let us into who you are as a person.
That song was a really good choice for you.
Thanks.
Andrew, I love how... unpredictable you are.
That's what makes you special.
And it's just gonna be amazing
seeing you continue to grow as an artist.
Thank you.
Devix, you have one of the coolest tones
and coolest voices we have in this season.
You sound like a star. Thank you.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Daly: Thank you, Coaches.
Camila, the final decision is yours,
but give us some thoughts first.
Andrew, I love your tone so much,
and I believe in your talent,
but I know that you could do better
than what this song allowed your voice to do. Mm-hmm.
And at the same time, I was sitting here
and I was so proud because I feel like you took every note
I gave you as far as holding those notes out
and having it be more intentional.
So I'm really, really proud of you.
Thank you.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Devix! That was a great song choice for you.
And a lot of what we worked on in rehearsal
is, like, loosening up on stage,
and I feel like you also came out of your shell,
and, like, your arms would go up, and I would be like, "Yeah!"
I thought that you did a beautiful job.
Thank you.
[ Applause ]
Steven!
From the blinds to now, I can see your personality
come out more in these performances,
and that's, like, really exciting to me. Thanks.
So I just really want you guys to know
that you are all so talented
and it's been such a joy to work with you.
Thank you. Thank you.
Daly: Camila, the time has come.
Who is the winner of this knockout?
The winner of this knockout is...
**
...Devix.
Daly: Devix, congratulations. You're moving on
to the live playoffs for Team Camila!
[ Cheers and applause ]
Camila: I had to pick Devix for the live playoffs
because his voice is just unreal
and he produces and he's a creative force.
He's just putting his heart and soul into every performance.
[ Laughs ] Thank you.
Thanks, guys.
I think he's ready for the next step of his career.
I am so grateful to Camila. I'm going to the live playoffs.
Camila: I love you so much. I'm so proud of you.
Thank you. Andrew and Steven really integrated
everything that we worked on,
and I was really proud to see them up there today.
Such a joy. Such a pleasure.
I can't wait to see what you do next.
I'm the only coach that still has a steal,
and, uh, I'm looking for somebody to excite me,
somebody to come out there and just knock our socks off.
I want to use this steal on somebody amazing.
* This is "The Voice" *
Daly: Welcome back to the final night of knockouts.
I am in my holding room
waiting to go on stage, um,
to rehearse knockouts.
I'm behind the scenes right now, and we're about to go on.
I'm nervous. [ Chuckles ]
Are you ready for this? I'm ready for this. Let's do it.
Hello!
Oh, my... Hi!
[ Squeals ]
I knew it, girl.
For this knockout, I grouped
Alyssa, Daysia, and Sasha.
Bro, my heart's racing!
I put them together because they were young
and they're all so gifted.
Welcome to Team Gwen. Thank you.
[ Whoosh ]
Daly: That is the sound of a steal from Gwen Stefani!
I want to give you some more experiences!
What song did you pick and why?
I picked "Make It Rain" by Ed Sheeran.
Because I'm a pop artist, but I kind of lean on, like,
the soulful side of my voice,
and I feel like this song really brings that out.
Let's run it.
* And fill the sky *
* With all that they can draw *
Sasha: This song is really about pleading
and almost like a cry or a prayer,
and I feel like that's what the knockouts are.
Like, you really have to sing for your life
and prove that you're worth a spot.
* Make it rain down, Lord *
I mean, the lyrics say, "Make it rain down, Lord."
So I-I really relate to that because faith is definitely
a really big part of my life.
I can look at it as I'm singing
for the one who got me here in the first place.
* Make it *
* R-a-a-a-ain *
Oh, no!
There were some incredible things that you did
where your tone of your voice, when it dropped down --
I was like, "Oh, my gosh." That's, like, so beautiful.
Sasha is an incredible singer.
She can sing soulful. She's very deep.
When you have a voice that can do what your voice can do,
less is gonna be more.
With runs, I want everything to come from your emotions,
not just from your skill. Yeah.
What Sasha needs to do to get to the live shows
is sing this like she wrote it
and make me believe that it truly is the kind of artist
that she wants to be in the future.
Okay. Thank you so much.
Awesome.
Dang. This girl can sing.
Sasha -- she was amazing. I couldn't keep my eyes off her.
I gotta step up my game.
Alright, Daysia, so, what song did you pick?
I chose "Get Here" by Oleta Adams,
and I chose that because it really represents
my tone and range a little bit better.
I just hope you love it.
* You can reach me by caravan *
Daysia: This song is about overcoming
your own past experiences.
Life isn't easy. There are hills, mountains between us.
There are so many barriers,
and you just have to push through.
* Between us, always something to get over *
Losing my mother, regaining my self-confidence --
that's what gives me my emotion through the song.
You know, replaying everything in my life
that's been hard and then how I got through it.
I think that's what honestly got me here, right now,
in this spot, on "The Voice".
* Mmm-mm-mm *
Yay!
[ Cheering ]
That was so good! Thank you!
You know what? That was so pretty.
And this song is so perfect for you. Thank you. Thank you.
And I think the one thing with your voice --
Sometimes when you attack a note... Yes.
...the dynamics change so much within that one moment.
It's like --
* You can reach me by airplane *
It makes it sound like you're not confident about the note.
It's just something that I think you're gonna get with more control.
Okay.
* You can reach me on an airplane *
* You can reach me with your mind *
The other thing is just trying to, like,
build the song a little bit more.
How do we sketch it out so that you just have
the right intensity at the right time?
Gwen: Daysia has a really budding talent,
but she doesn't have control over bringing
all the different sides of her voice together yet.
But Daysia did pick the song that was so perfect
for her voice right now, and if she pulls it off,
this is gonna make it really hard for me.
Hi!
You even got cuter maybe. Is that possible?
Oh, my God! Stop!
So tell me what your song is and why.
"Don't Stop Me Now" by Queen.
What? You're crazy!
And that's what I like about you.
* Tonight I'm gonna have myself a real good time *
This is a gigantic song.
But I have always wanted to have my Freddie Mercury moment
where I get to shine on stage
and have an absolute, like, incredible time performing.
* I'll turn it inside out, yeah *
My grandma introduced me to traditional Mexican music,
which made me want to become a performer
because it's, like, very dramatic, very theatrical.
* 'Cause I'm havin' a good time, havin' a good time *
My grandma doesn't know much English.
Music is, like, such a universal language.
Being able to connect with her in that way was special.
* All *
Daysia: Yay! Aww, that was cool!
If you think about him and his lyric... Oh, yeah.
...you know he's tortured and he's in pain,
and I think that the angle you need to have
is the little punkier side that needs to come out in there.
Like, "We're having a good time because I'm gonna make it
out of here alive!" You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Right.
And it's gonna give it a little more edge,
I think, to your performance, which I think you need.
Gwen: She surprised me with this song.
Alyssa is the kind of artist you can't keep your eyes off.
She likes to get dressed up, wear the makeup,
flirt with the audience,
all the stuff that a pop star does.
I got a lot of young kids on my team
that just blow me away.
Each one of you knows kind of
what you have to go away and work on.
I love you guys. I wish you the best. We love you!
I feel like I have some of the toughest decisions ever
with these knockouts.
Daly: Still to come...
* Make it rain *
Daly: Gwen, this is a near-impossible decision.
It really is, Carson.
Daly: ...the final steal of Season 22.
That is the sound of a steal!
[ Cheers and applause ]
* This is "The Voice" *
Daly: Welcome back.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Whoo-hoo! My girls!
The teens. So cute.
With "Don't Stop Me Now", here is Alyssa Witrado.

I love this song.
**
* Tonight I'm gonna have myself a real good time *
* I feel al-i-i-ive *
Yeah.
* And the world *
* I'll turn it inside out, yeah *
Whoo!
* I'm floating around in ecstasy, so *
* Don't stop me *
* 'Cause I'm having a good time, having a good time * Yeah!
* I'm a shooting star leaping through the sky *
* Like a tiger, defying the laws of gravity *
* I'm a racing car passing by like Lady Godiva *
* I'm gonna go, go, go *
* There's no stopping me *
* I'm burnin' through the sky, yeah *
* 200 degrees, that's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit *
* I'm traveling at the speed of light *
* I wanna make a supersonic man out of you *
[ Drum break ]
* Don't stop me, don't stop me *
* Don't stop me * * Hey, hey, hey *
* Don't stop me, don't stop me, hoo, hoo, hoo *
* I like it *
* Don't stop me, don't stop me *
* Have a good time, good time *
* Don't stop me, don't stop me *
* Ohhh, I'm *
* Burnin' through the sky, yeah *
* 200 degrees, that's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit *
* I'm traveling at the speed of light *
* I wanna make a supersonic man out of you *
* Don't stop me now *
* I'm having such a good time, I'm having a ball *
* Don't stop me now *
* If you wanna have a good time *
* Just give me a call *
* Don't stop me now * * 'Cause I'm having a good time *
* Don't stop me now *
* Yes, I'm havin' a good time *
* Don't wanna stop at a-a-all *
* Ohh, ohh *
[ Cheers and applause ]
Whoo!
Alright, Alyssa!
Whoo!
Daysia!

* Just get here if you can *
* There are hills and mountains between us *
* Always something to get over *
* If I had my way *
* Surely you would be closer *
* I need you closer *
* You can windsurf into my life *
* Take me up on a carpet ride *
* You can make it in a big balloon *

[ Cheers and applause ]
Sasha! Sasha!
And now with "Make It Rain", here's Sasha Hurtado.
**
* Oooooooh, ooooh *
* When the sins of my father *
Okay.
* Weigh down in my soul *
* And the pain of my mother *
* Will not let me go *
[ Cheers and applause ]
* Then let the clouds fill with thunderous applause *
* And let lightning *
* Be the veins *
* And fill the sky *
* With all that they can draw *
* When it's time to make a change *
* Make it rain *
* Make it rain down, Lord *
* Make it rain *

* Ohh, make it rain *
* Make it r-a-a-a-ain *
[ Cheers and applause ]
* Oooh, oooh *
* Make it r-a-a-ain *
Beautiful!
* Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh *
[ Cheers and applause ]
No contest.
Can't believe she's 18.
Are you crying? No!
[ Laughs ]
[ Cheers and applause ]
Wow!
Alyssa, I loved your look. I loved your energy.
I sensed a little bit of Gwen in you
and some of the choices you made. Ohh.
Do you see? She's my daughter.
[ Laughter ]
What a great performance. Alyssa: Thank you so much.
[ Applause ]
Daysia, you're such an old soul.
Ah! Like, you know, all the references of songs
that I grew up listening to in R&B and jazz.
And you really are so talented.
Thank you.
And, Sasha, every note you hit was flawless.
When you went to the super-high part of your headvoice,
that was flawless.
I loved your vibrato.
Vocally, it was just a tour de force.
So, decision-wise for Gwen, I think it's tough,
but I think, as a vocalist, I think Sasha was my favorite.
So that's where I am. Thank you.
Mm-hmm. Thank you.
Sasha, I think you won this.
You know, your singing was incredible.
Did you let her go?
I'm an idiot. Okay.
I would be going with Sasha right now.
Thank you so much. Thank you.
Thank you, husband Blake. Thank you.
You're welcome, wifey.
Camila: Aww!
Alyssa, you have so much spunk.
It's so fun watching you.
Your energy and your star power
has been there from the very beginning.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Daysia! Hi.
When you perform, I feel like time slows down.
I'm, like, back in time watching an iconic artist
in the making, so I'm a fan. Yeah.
Thank you.
[ Applause ]
Sasha!
* You were mine and now you're not *
The confidence with which you executed all of that,
it's crazy to see, and then it's crazy to be like,
"And she's 18."
Thank you so much. Daly: Thank you, Coaches.
Gwen, before you tell us who won the knockout, give us some thoughts.
Alyssa, you are just incredible. There's something about you.
It's one of those things you can't really put words to.
I just think you're awesome.
Thank you. I love you.
And this makes it so hard
because that's one choice, right?
So then there's Daysia.
When you hit on the tones that are right,
it's so iconic.
I love you. Love you.
I love you! I love you, too!
Sasha, you made it really complicated for me
because that was a perfect performance.
Thank you. People are gonna be like,
"Oh, my gosh, she's only 18, and she sings like she's 35!"
Like, it's crazy. You know? Right. Right.
I have no idea what to do. This is terrible.
Gwen, this is a near-impossible decision.
It really is, Carson.
Unfortunately, there can only be one for you.
[ Dramatic music plays ]
**
The winner of the knockout
is Alyssa. What?
[ Cheers and applause ]
What?!
Alyssa, Daysia, and Sasha, they're all so gifted.
With Alyssa, she's just special.
What I'm excited to see her do in the live playoffs
is show what kind of star she really is.
I won't let you down.
This is so hard! I love you!
I'm going to lives, y'all! Oh, my God!
[ Squeals ] I'm so happy!
Coaches, let me remind you that Daysia's available to steal.
Anything you'd like to say to Gwen?
I feel more confident as an artist.
And it's because of you.
And so thank you so much for everything. God.
Gwen: Daysia is so young,
and she is probably gonna be someone that I'm gonna go,
"What?! Like, she was on my team and I let her go?"
Coaches, let me remind you that Sasha's available to steal.
Sasha, anything you'd like to say to Gwen?
Aah! God! Oh, my gosh. I hate this.
Thank you so much. I feel like I'm, like, just getting started.
You are. You are.
So thank you for giving me the opportunity.
Daly: Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for Sasha Hurtado!
[ Cheers and applause ]
[ Whoosh ]
That is the sound of a steal!
Oh, my God!
Daly: John Legend uses his one and only steal
in the knockouts!
John: Sasha deserved it, and I couldn't let her go home.
She's been so good throughout these rounds.
She's been stolen now twice.
And she just hit every note so beautifully
and with such precision and control.
My team is shaping up to be winners.
Team Legend's gonna take the title this season.
Oh, my gosh. I almost picked John in my blind audition.
I just felt called to pick Camila.
But John -- I've always looked up to him and he's amazing.
So it means the most to me. [ Both laugh ]
