04x12 - The Knockouts, Part 2

Post by bunniefuu »

Welcome to the voice,

I'm carson daily.

Last night the heated knockout

Round began and our artists

Picked their own songs and put

Everything on the line to stay

In the competition.

You saw some incredible

Performances.

Coaches made very tough decision

And in the end, we said good-bye

To eight talented artist.

Last night, on "the vo" the

Knockout rounds began.

The eight artists from team

Sharkira and eight from team

Adam left it all on the stage.

?

As am dad and

Sharkira chose which four

Artists to bring to the live

Playoffs.

The winner of the knockout

Round is amber.

Feel so solid and fortified in

My four amazing girls.

Team adam looks really

Strong.

There's not a bad singer in the

Bunch.

He's a got all women on his

Team.

Adam's angels.

My female intuition tells me

I might have the winner.

I think sharkira is becoming

The monster in this competition

This year.

Tonight, team blake

And team usher perform.

?

This is the time in the

Competition where the artist

Really needs to prove to me that

They deserve to be in the live

Rounds.

The stakes are higher

Than ever.

There's no opportunity for a

Steal, do or die.

In this round, the

Artists pick their own songs.

You're doing a dude song?

Yep.

That's my strategy.

If they are not singing the

Right songs they can make a

Connection with then people at

Home aren't going to make a

Connection with that artist.

Usher and blake get

Creative to make their artists

The best they can be.

You have to do 50 pushups

Every time before we start.

We are going make usher look

So clueless.

One, two.

Continue to push my guys and

Girls to be the best.

Tonight, i'm looking for the

Next winner of "the voice."

Go.

?

It's a night of

Surprise as none of your

Favorites safe.

Never seen so much

Controversy among coaches.

The pressure

Mounting.

You want to be knocked out.

I want to knock somebody out.

After tonight, each

Coach will only have four

Artists to represent them in the

Live playoffs.

This is really survival of

The fittest.

Starting next week,

America votes and help determine

Which artists advance to the top

12 and ultimately be named "the

Voice."

The knockout rounds continue

Right now.

Team blake stands with me now.

Let's get to it.

Blake, who's your first artist

And your first knockout pairing?

The first artist for this

Knockout pairing is savannah

Berry.

All right, blake, who

All right, blake,

Who are you pairing savannah

Are you pairing savannah

Against?

I'm gonna pair savannah

Against justin rivers.

Justin rivers, please

Justin rivers,

Please step forward.

Step forward.

Justin and savannah are both

Country with a pop twist.

I want to see which one is the

Strongest to bring to the live

Shows.

17-year-old aspiring

Country artist savannah berry

Turned three chairs in the blind

Auditions.

You know, i'm fascinated by

Your voice.

I think i'm gonna have to

Pick blake.

I chose "as long as you love

Me" by justin bieber.

I wanted to take something

Totally pop and create a country

Arrangement.

You display as much

Straight-up artistry as anybody

I have ever seen on this show.

It is very clear to me that

You're a writer.

She is so talented, it sun

Believable and she has the

Ability to take a song and make

It seem like it's something that

She wrote.

And that's the mark of a true

Artist.

I do want to win blake over

And that comes with being

Yourself and the artist you are

Supposed to be, not anyone else.

The tough part for you is to

Become that one country artist

Among one of them.

Maybe i found my own justin

Bieber in savannah.

You can tell usher it was my

Idea.

I will rub this in on usher.

During his blind

Audition, christian singer

Justin rivers earned a

Last-second bunt push from

Blake.

So glad i did.

And impressed against

His battle with the morgan

Twins.

Justin.

He was like way better than

He ever was.

Yeah, man.

He is a country star.

No question about it.

For the knockout rounds i

Will be singing "the climb" by

Miley cyrus.

I picked this song because it

Was symbolic of my journey and i

Was basically at the point where

I had given up on my dream so to

See that blake believes in me

Enough to move forward to the

Next round, i couldn't be more

Excited.

Did you grow up on some miley

Cyrus?

You have a country sound, but

You also have some tendencies to

Do a lot of runs and things.

I don't want you to squeeze too

Much in just because you can.

Justin's taking a big risk by

Singing a woman's song.

I think a small part of him

Still feels like he has

Something to prove.

Your big moments to me are when

You show off your range, not

Your runs.

Okay.

I have a lot of gospel

Influences, so my natural

Tendency is to want to put a lot

Of decorations on the end of

Phrases.

I think you need to have as

Much faith as you possibly can

And let us just hear what justin

Really sounds like.

With "as long as you

Love me," here is savannah

Berry.

?as long as you love me

?we're under pressure

?7 billion people in the world

Trying to fit in ?

?keep it together

?smile on your face even though

Your heart is frowning ?

?but hey now

?you know, we both know it's a

Cruel world ?

?but i will take my chances

?as long as you love me

?we could be starving, we could

Be homeless ?

?we could be broke

?as long as you love me

?i'll be your platinum i'll be

Your silver ?

?i'll be your gold

?as long as you don't stress,

Don't cry ?

?we don't need no wings to

Fly ?

?just take my hand

?as long as you love me

?we could be starving, we could

Be homeless ?

?we could be broke

?as long as you love me

?i'll be your platinum, i'll be

Your silver ?

?i'll be your gold

?as long as you love me

And now with "the

Climb," here is justin rivers.

?i can almost see it

That dream i'm

Dreaming, but

There's a voice ?

?inside my head saying

You'll never reach it

Every step i'm takin'

Every move i make ?

?feels lost with

No direction

My faith is shaken

But i, i've gotta ?

Gotta keep my

Head held high

There's always gonna ?

?be another mountain

I'm always gonna

Wanna make it move

Always gonna be ?

?an uphill battle

Sometimes i'm

Gonna have to lose

Ain't about how ?

?fast i get there

Ain't about what's

Waitin' on the

?it's the climb

It's the climb

?

You there go.

Savannah berry, justin rivers.

All right, let's hear what the

Coaches have to say about those

Performances.

Usher, what did you think?

Savannah, great song.

Thank you.

You know, not only have you

Been able to show that you can

Hold your own in country, but

You can also transcend.

Thank you.

Justin, 100% pulled me in and

In that big note at the end,

Man, you held that thing

Forever.

And though i love the song, i

Would honestly have to give that

Round to justin.

Thank you, usher.

Sharkira?

I particularly love when

Savannah does that airy voice.

But justin, i'm with usher on

That one, i think that long

Extended note won us over.

Thank you so much.

Adam, what did you

Think?

Savannah, you know i loved

You from the start.

I thought you did a great job

And should be very proud of what

You did.

Justin, man, i think you're just

The biggest surprise and it's

Pretty obvious now that he saw

Something really special.

So, fantastic job today.

Thank you so much.

Thank you, coaches,

Very much.

Of course, it all comes down to

Blake.

You know, savannah, i thought

You did amazing and i respect

The way you made that your own.

Justin, you continue to impress.

And you did miley cyrus' song

And did a great job on it you

Know?

Thank you, blake.

All right.

The moment of truth.

Blake, who is the winner of this

Knockout?

The winner of this knockout

Is justin.

Justin wins the

Knockout over savannah.

I really thought savannah was

Gonna win that.

Justin dug down and knowing that

This is his last chance answered

Did t going into the live shows,

I'm confident justin is gonna

Bring it.

Changing my life, man.

I have worked so hard and to be

Able to be recognized for my

Talents just means the world.

Savannah, anything

You want to say to your coach?

Thank you for teaching me

Everything you have taught me.

I have really enjoyed working

With you.

Thank you.

Savannah berry,

Everybody.

The knockout rounds give us

An opportunity to see what type

Of artist we are dealing with

Here and potentially shock us.

Justin was great.

It was a tough call.

I don't envy blake on that one.

Coming up, artists

Fight for the chance to advance

To the live playoffs.

?

And later, as the

Coaches' decisions get tougher.

I wanted to hear that grit.

I don't hear it as much.

Really?

Really.

You trying to throw me off or

Something.

A toughy one.

Did you stay is a toughy one?

A toughy.

Welcome bang to the????????????????????

Voice, the knockout round.

Team usher joins me now.

After tonight, only half of

These artists will be moving on

To the next round of the

Competition.

Usher, who is your first artist?

My first pairing, i pick

Josiah.

Josiah, please step

Forward.

Usher, who are you pairing

Josiah against?

I'm pairing josiah against

Jess.

Jess kellner, please

Step forward.

Jess and josiah both have

Distinctive tones, i want to see

Who can bring more character to

The stage.

During his blind

Audition ...

?that may be all i need

Josiah got the

Attention of three coaches with

A maroon 5 song but picked usher

In.

He won over usher with his stage

Presence.

This is ultimately about

Telling a story, a mystique.

The winner of this battle is

Josiah.

?

This week, i will be singing

"back to black" by amy

Winehouse.

This is to show i can be

Creative and make a song my own.

No notes here, you have to

Tell me who you are as an

Artist, tell me a story and be

Part of this musical journey and

Experience.

Think about that.

?

I think he has the looks and

He has "the voice."

The most important part for

Josiah is being vulnerable.

People want to feel like there

Is a sincerity coming from you.

I want to show usher i have a

Vulnerable side, i can be

Thought and stay so i can keep

Growing as an artist

21-year-old

Hairdresser jess kell overcame

Childhood struggles to get to

The voice.

Growing up, my mom was an

Alcoholic.

Music has gotten me through so

Much.

During the blind

Auditions, she impressed both

New coaches.

Rock with me.

And usher ultimately

Won her over.

Very interesting choice of

Song.

It's soulful and the song

Means a lot to me.

I'm really excited to work

With jess.

Not often am i able to work with

Artists who have such unique

Song.

?you want to stay with me in

The morning ?

I'm saying "give me

Something" by james more

Morrison.

Most people think to have this

As a boyfriend/girlfriend

Relationshipful but for me, it

Is about my mom, being with her,

Going through that battle.

?you give me something

Can we stop one second?

Whenever you go toward those

Lows, you go a little flat.

?you give me

Usher pushes your boundaries,

I know what is your style is but

He wants to push you in a way it

Is going to make you grow in a

Really short amount of time.

Play it up more.

Your rounded tone, use that be

Coy.

Smile a little bit.

She made it personal.

The messaging is directly to her

Mother f she completely commits,

I think it could pan out really

Great for her.

With "back to black,"

Here is josiah hawley.

?you went back

To what you knew

So far removed

From all that ?

?we went through

And i tread a

Troubled track

My odds are stacked ?

?and i'll go back to black

We only said

Goodbye with words

I died a hundred times ?

?you go back to him

Black ?

?black

Black

Black ?

We only said

Goodbye with words ?

?i died a hundred times

You go back to him

I'll go back to black ?

?

And now with "you

Give me something," here is jess

Kellner.

?you only stay with

Me in the morning

You want to hold

Me when i sleep ?

?for every piece of

Me that wants you

Oh no, another piece

Backs away ?

?yeah, 'cause you give

Me something

That makes me

Scared, all right ?

?this could be nothing

But i'm willing

To give it a try

Please give me ?

?something

'cause someday i

Might call you

From my heart ?

?and it might be

A second too late

And the words that

I could never say ?

?are gonna come

Out anyway

'cause you give

Me something ?

?that makes me

Scared, all right

This could be nothing

But i'm willing ?

?to give it a try

Please give me

Something

'cause only i might know my

Heart ?

Jess kellner, josiah

Hawley.

What did you think, adam?

I literally felt like you

Should have done each other's

Songs.

Jess, you had one moment that

Was weird.

I know you next actually what

Moment i'm talking b but other

Than that it was the best i've

Heard you on the competition so

Far.

Thank you.

And josiah, i wanted it to be

A little bit stronger, amy

Winehouse is a monster song for

A guy to sing.

There's something about the way

She does it the smoky, sexy

Thing, almost like you have to

Escape the way you look, 'cause

You are like a super handsome

Guy p

He looks like my boyfriend.

Yeah.

She is basically hitting on

You right now.

No, no, i'm not.

Thank you, adam.

Blake shelton?

It's weird in here now.

You guys both did really good.

And i know what adam was saying

To you, not about the looks.

I try not to pay as much

Attention to your looks as he

Does.

But anyway, the way you

Performed it, it did seem a

Little bit you can and i hate to

See this, a little bit

Calculated, like maybe loosen it

Up a little bit.

And i liked jess's song choice

Because it gave her some

Freedom.

I thought it was very soulful

And i think i liked what jess

Did a little better.

Thank you, coaches.

Usher, it comes down to you.

You know, jess, this song was

Personal to you.

And your ability to move the

Crowd and also make them feel

What you are feeling is what's

Most important.

And i did feel like you could

Have given it a little bit more,

Although i felt like you did a

Pretty good job.

Thank you.

Josiah, this song was

Intended to kind of bring out

The bad boy side in you a little

Bit.

So, um, i felt the grit.

Who's the winner of

This knockout?

Josiah, it's definitely been

An incredible time working along

With you.

I can't imagine not continuing

To work along with you, so the

Whipp

Winner of this knockout is

Josiah.

Whoa.

Josiah hawley, congratulations,

You are moving on to the live

Playoffs.

I'm excited to stay, excited

To be able to learn more.

Excited to be able to grow more.

Josiah won and i'm really

Looking forward to working with

Him now, being a little bit more

Of an alternative artist and

That talent as great as it can

And hopefully make us a proud

Team.

Ladies and gentlemen,

Give it up, jess kellner.

I wanted to move on to the

Live rounds pretty bad.

I felt like i have a lot more to

Prove as an artist.

But this isn't the end for me,

So i'm ... i'm okay with it.

You faked me out.

I thought it was like been nice

Working with you, but see ya.

He is damn good looking.

Coming up, blake's

Artists impress our coaches.

?

Leaving him stumped over who to

Take to the live playoffs.

I hate this.

Gosh dang it.

Welcome back to the????????????????????

Knockout round.

Blake, six artists remain on

Your team.

It's time announce your second

Knockout pairing.

Who is first?

First artist for this

Knockout is holly tucker.

Holly tucker, please

Step forward.

Blake, who did you pair holly

Against?

I paired holly against luke.

Luke edgemon, please

Step forward.

I paired holly and luke

Together because they both have

A gospel background and also,

They have the ability to really

Project and be powerful

Vocalists.

Baylor university

Marching band member, holly

Tucker, blew away our coaches,

Turning four chairs.

Holly picked blake as her coach.

?SAID I WAS IN MY EARLY 0s

Holly tucker is such a

Powerful singer and i felt like

I have been handed a gift from

The voice gods.

?and a moment came

I'm singing "live like you

WERE DYIN'" BY TIM McGRAW.

The message is live like you are

Not getting another day.

I never know if stepping on that

Stage is the last time i will

Get to be there i want to do

This.

You amaze me.

Really?

I wish you would have the

Confidence to know that.

Do you have any advice on how

I can do that?

Don't hold back.

I mean, blow people's hair off,

Because you're just a very

Special singer that doesn't come

Along that often.

For holly to move on to the live

Rounds, she is really going to

Have to plan it out.

Be pumped up about t open it.

Open up and show confidence.

Blake edgemon got the

Attention of sharkira and usher.

I pick sharkira.

In the battle rounds,

He shocked all four coaches with

His voice.

Where in the hell did luke

Come from?

Luke lost to monique

Abbadie, but blake and usher

Went sick with quick to

Stealing.

I chose blake because most

Everyone else on his team is

Country and i realize that i

Would stand out among the crowd.

Why "teenage dream" by katy

Perry?

One of the things i like to

Do when i sing live is do songs

That don't sound like me but do

It a little more my watch

Let's do it.

I stole luke from team sharkira

Because he is such a powerful

Singer that can do a lot of

Things.

I love that i love the way you

Did it there.

Because it's lining, open, you

Think you heard everything?

No you didn't.

Your voice is so strong, like a

Fist, you know what i mean?

Its's really good.

I think that's the biggest

Question i have for you coming

In was finding the balance.

I don't want you to put me in

The hospital, i just want you to

Beat me up.

Okay.

All right.

?

In order to win the knockout

Rounds, i need to find my

Moments and blake is helping me

Figure that out.

Yeah.

With "live like you

Were dyin'" here is holly

Tucker.

?he said i was

IN MY EARLY 40's

With a lot of

Life before me ?

?when a moment came

That stopped

Me on a dime

I spent most of ?

?the next days lookin'

At the x-rays

Talkin' 'bout the

Options and talkin' ?

?'bout sweet time

I asked him when

It sank in, that this

Might really be ?

?the real end

How's it hit ya

When you get that

Kind of news ?

?man what ya do

And he said

I went sky divin'

I went rocky mountain

Climbin'

I went 2.7 seconds

On a bull name

Fu manchu ?

?and i loved deeper

And i spoke sweeter

And i gave forgiveness

I've been denying ?

?and he said someday

I hope you

Get the chance

To live like ?

?you were dyin'

To live like

To live like ?

?you were dyin'

Coming up, will

Song pay off with a spot in the

Live playoffs?

Transform that song.

It was a bit difficult for

People to 100% connect with it.

I got it.

I liked t

Me, too.

Welcome back to the????????????????????

Voice, the knockout round.

Now with "teenage dream," here

Is luke edgemon.

The way tonight

No regrets, just love

We can dance ?

?until we die

You and i

Will be young forever

You make me ?

?feel like i'm livin'

A teenage dream

The way you turn me on

I can't sleep ?

?let's run away and

Don't ever look back

My heart stops ?

?when you look at me

Just one touch

Now baby i believe

This is real ?

?so take a chance and

Don't ever look back

Get your heart racing

In my skintight jeans

Be your teenage

Dream tonight ?

?let you put your

Hands on me

In my skintight jeans

Be your teenage dream tonight

?

Give it up for luke

And holly in the matchup for

Team blake.

Don't be stupid.

I'm not playing games.

I think he won.

Blake, give you a

Second to think about t

Never seen so much

Controversy among coaches.

Everybody ... it's all because

They're great.

A lot of talking

During that.

Usher, what did you think?

Hollis, i thought you gave a

Stellar performance, i think the

Song was a little bit more

Appropriate who you are.

And luke, this round is intended

To kind of give us insight about

Who you see yourself as.

And i love r & b soul music but

To kind of traps form that song

Into r & b, it was a bit

Difficult for people to 100%

Connect with it.

I got it.

I liked it.

Me, too.

Sharkira, what did

You think?

I might not be objective

About this one because he was on

My team and i know how amazing

He is.

So, i think i would give it to

Luke.

Thank you, sharkira.

Seemed like you disagreed with

Usher what do you have to say?

You came out here and did

What we expected you to do,

Holly, k*lled it, it was very

Powerful.

Thank you so much.

Luke, i saw you were doing

"teenage dream" people haven't

Been able to convert that into

Something on the show for some

Reason but i really lining the

Version of it you did.

It was interesting.

And you have a crazy, k*ller

Voice with limitless potential

And i would choose you because i

Would think there is more to

See.

Thank you.

The final decision

Goes to you, blake shelton.

I've never seen so much

Controversy.

Much debate.

Yeah.

It's ... i love it, though, i

Love hearing all this it is all

Important.

Luke is cool and laid back as

That is, that word up there says

Knockout rounds, you know?

And i would hope that even if

You do that version, that song

Would have taken the opportunity

To do some things a little more

Rangy, because adam says, you

Know, i would have picked you

Knowing you could do other

Things.

But truth is, we just met

Because you were a steal.

But i also know holly and she

Did come out here and take those

Vocal chances and did swing for

The knockout, you know what i

Mean?

Okay.

This is not gonna be easy for

Blake.

Blake who is the whipper of this

Knockout?

This is actually not easy.

The winner of this knockout is

Holly.

Holly tucker wins the

Knockout for team blake.

I'm really, really excited

That blake kept me here and i'm

Going to prove to him i can take

It all the way in this

Competition.

Thank you.

Holly came out here and sang

Some incredible things, she

Pulled out every trick she

Could.

Luke edgemon,

Everybody.

I'm going to keep singing.

I'm not going to quit trying to.

The end of my journey here but

Not the end of my journey as an

Artist.

Let me explain why you are an

Idi

Idiot, he is a whole unique

Thing, original.

He has a point.

He is really awesome.

All i'm telling you is you're

Miscalculating her.

Coming up, usher's

Unique coaching style ...

I want you to create a walk

Through giving this energy, you

Don't know a thing about me.

Going to do girl versions or guy

Versions?

These are guy versions.

Leads to passionate

Performances.

?you don't know a thing about

Me ?

And a matchup too

Close to call.

One of my favorites i in the

Competition.

I was more impressed with

You.

A toughy one.

Welcome back to the????????????????????

Voice, the knockout round.

Okay, usher, it's time to

Announce your second knockout

Pairing.

Who is your first artist?

First artist for this

Knockout round is audreyer codd.

Audrey will sing

First, who have you paired

Audrey with?

I have paired audrey with

Michelle.

Michelle chamuel step

Forward.

I want to see who can deliver

An epic performance that will

Allow them to remain.

Former model, audrey

Karrasch, got the attention of

Both blake and usher dur you can

The blind auditions i and

Quickly picked her coach.

Okay, usher, let's do it.

?

For the knockout round i will

Be singing "how to love" by lil

Wayne.

I hope to prove to usher i'm an

Alternative artist, i take

Risks.

What happened there?

We were a little all over the

Place.

Audrey you i was thrown off.

Maybe she is still trying to

Figure it out.

?

The only way you will do it is

If you breathe and go false set

Toe.

.she is an indie artist.

So much more to offer.

I need to you perform the song

Like you mean this i'm going to

Stand here and perform as though

You're talking and it's end mat.

Okay.

I couldn't get on that

Knockout stage and win now, i

Don't feel fully confident.

I am so close to the live shows.

I want it so bad.

?

I think i respect nerdy

People.

Michelle chamuel

Surprised herself, getting three

Chairs to turn during her blind

Auditions.

Fierce.

Your first time being here,

My first time being here.

I go with usher.

I'm singling "raise your glass"

By pink.

It sells the uniqueness in

Everyone and once that's

Acknowledged, i think it is a

Poufrl thing.

I want to caution you not to

Overexert yourself.

You got to breathe.

I got to breathe.

You want to try something

With me?

Check it out.

A lot of times hopping on the

Stage, want to move around, you

Will get winded.

I have these little exercise and

Things i do.

You start to ...

Jump.

You sing a little bit and

Drop.

I could drop and give you 20.

Those i have to do with you.

You have to get up and sing as

Soon as we finished.

Let's go whoever thought i would

Have michelle doing pushups.

By the way, that was her

Suggestion.

You gonna do girl versions or

Guy versions?

These are guy versions.

Shows you the spirit.

She gets in there following do

The work.

All right.

Go.

?

Super intensive at this

Stage.

I need to focus my energy around

Make usher want to bring me

Through to the next round.

There was one time you kind

Of lost the rhythm.

Yeah.

Take a deep breath.

With "how to love,"

Here is audrey karrasch.

?cut the music up a little

Louder, yeah ?

?you had a lot of crooks trying

Steal your heart, never really

Had luck, couldn't ever figure

It out, how to love, how to

Love ?

?you had a lot of moments that

Didn't last forever, now your

Nee a concern trying put it

Together ?

?you had a lot of crooks trying

Steal your heart ?

?never really had luck couldn't

Ever figure out ?

And now with "raise

Your glass," here is michelle

Chamuel.

?right, right, turn off the

Lights, with he gonna lose our

Minds tonight ?

?what's the deal-o

?i love when it's all too

Much ?

?5 a.m. turn the radio up

?where it's rock 'n' roll

?party crasher, party

Snatcher ?

?call me up if you a gangster

?don't be fancy just get

Dancy ?

?why so serious

?so raise your glass if you are

?all my underdogs, we will

Never, never be anything but

Loud ?

?and nitty-gritty dirty little

Freaks ?

?come on if you're too school

For cool ?

?and you're treated like a

Fool ?

?you could choose to let it

Go ?

?we can always party on our

Own ?

Wrong in all the right ways ?

?all my underdogs, we will

Never be never be ?

?anything but loud and

Nitty-gritty ?

?dirty little freaks

?raise your glass

?raise your glass for me

Give it up, audrey

Karrasch and michelle chamuel.

Thank you, ladies, very much.

Usher, we will give you a

Minute.

Sharkira, what did you think

About that?

Tell michelle gives it all

When she is on stage.

You are a performer, despite the

Fact you were moving, you were

Precise, there were some

Challenging moment there is in

The song, you attacked them

Really well.

In spite of the fact you were

Dancing.

Squatting.

Blake doesn't move when he is

On stage.

Stands in the same place all the

Time.

What happens if you squat?

I haven't squatted like that

In years.

Wouldn't be a pretty picture.

Thank you, sharkira.

Adam what did you think of that

Knockout?

Audrey, i don't really like

Harping on stupid technical

Stuff it is more of a general

Feeling you get from a

Performance, i thought it was

Good.

I thought odd really nice pocket

Which having a great pocket is a

Huge part of being a great

Singer.

Michelle, you were really

Performing and sometimes that

Can be hard to negotiate and

Manage your breath, really

Didn't seem like it was a

Problem for you at all.

Something about you that makes

You type of artist i want to see

More.

You both did a great job.

Thank you, adam.

Blake?

Yeah, audrey, i think the

Problems that adam is talking

About, they were kind of

Scattered from the beginning to

The end.

It was never like that you

Recovered and then it was okay.

Started off shaky and got

Into a nice comfortable place

And kind of fell off.

Yeah, exactly.

Whereas michelle somebody told

Her just before she walked on

Stage that she had won the

Lottery.

I was spending the money with

You.

Like, man, we're gonna buy a

Boat.

We are gonna get a new truck.

Everything.

Like i was there with ya.

Usher it all comes

Down to you.

What do you think?

I agree.

Kind of feel like you took a

Hip-hop record and made it

Rhythmic in a way people could

Hear it for its true value.

So, i'm going to compliment you

On that.

Thank you.

Michelle, you are truly a

Thinker.

I felt like the song helped me

Know more about you and

Obviously, allowed america to

Know something new about you as

Well.

I really enjoyed your

Performance.

Thank you.

Usher, who is the

Winner of this knockout?

Michelle, you are the winner

Of this knockout.

Michelle chamuel is

The winner and moves on to the

Live playoffs representing team

Usher.

I felt like i was able to be

Me on that stage and it felt

Really good.

Some really great ideas for

Her in the next round that i

Think are going to help not only

The world see her as the artist

That she is, but hopefully bring

Out her true colors.

Audrey, anything

Would you like to say to coach

Usher?

I would like to thank you so

Much for having me on your team.

This has been an amazing

Experience i will never forget.

Audrey karrasch,

Everybody.

Coming up, surprising pairings

Mean no artists are safe as they

Sing for a spot in the live

Playoffs.

?you don't know a thing about

Me ?

?

Creating difficult

Decisions for our coaches.

Usher, who is the winner of this

Knockout?

Welcome back to the????????????????????

Voice, the knockout round.

Okay, blake, we are down to

Four.

It's time to announce your next

Knockout pairing who is your

First artist?

This is going to be so cute,

But so deadly.

First artist for this knockout

Is danielle.

Danielle brad berry,

Please step forward.

Okay, blake, who are you pairing

Danielle with?

I'm going to pair danielle

With taylor.

Taylor beckham.

I paired danielle and taylor

Together because they are both

Young and i think they both have

A little bit of confidence issue

And i want to see which one

Steps out of their shells the

Most.

?all you're ever gonna be is

Mean ?

16-year-old aspiring

Country artist daniel brad ...

Danielle brad berry's audition

Won over the coaches.

How many times have you

Played it front of people?

This is my first performance.

And danielle beat out

Caroline glazer to keep her spot

On team blake.

Danielle brad berry, winner.

I take "jesus takes the

Wheel" because it the lyrics are

So beautiful.

Country music is

Story-driven.

If people don't believe you, it

Doesn't matter how good you

Sing.

?oh, jesus take the wheel

I know it's only danielle's

Third performance, but it's the

First time i have heard her do a

Ballad and man that is taking on

A tall order.

Nobody is born with the talent

You are born with just a handful

Of people.

Most of us have to work and work

And work and work at it.

Now's the time to start figuring

Out who danielle, the artist,

Is.

?jesus taken the whe the wheel?

I want blake to see that i

Can keep growing and his advice

Is really helping.

During her blind

Audition, former gymnast, taylor

Audition, former gymnast,

Taylor beckham, caught the attention of

Beckham, caught the attention of

Our two new coaches.

She ultimately picked usher as

Her coach but taylor lost to

Jess kellner in the battles.

I like taylor.

Blake quickly pushed

His button steal taylor from

Team usher.

I am so happy.

We are going to make usher

Look so clueless.

I can't wait.

Usher.

?

I picked "russian roulette"

By rihanna because all of my

Songs so far have been really

Power driven and i'm really

Excited about getting to show

The softer side of me.

?

I need to make me feel like i

Need to buy this sell it to me,

Like rihanna when she performs

On the grammys and i go, oh, my

Gosh.

I forgot i was watching the

Grammys and i was at a rihanna

Concert, you know what i mean in

The more desperate you can sound

In this letter inc., the better

If is going to come across.

Is all about emotion at this

Point.

Blake knows that i've got the

Vocals to be here or else he

Wouldn't have stolen me.

So, all i really have to do is

Just feel this song.

With "jesus take the

Wheel," here is danielle

Bradbery.

?she was driving last

Friday on her

Way to cincinnati

On a snow-white

?christmas eve

Going home to see

Her mama and her

Daddy with the baby

?in the backseat

Fifty miles to go

And she was running

Low on faith

?and gasoline

It'd been a

Long hard year

Jesus, take the wheel ?

?take it from my hands

'cause i can't

I'm letting go ?

?so give me one

More chance

To save me from

This road i'm on ?

?oh, jesus

Take the wheel

Oh, i'm letting go

So give me ? f1

?one more chance

Save me from

This road i'm on

From this road i'm on ?

?jesus, take the wheel

Oh, take it ?

Coming up ... ?

Taylor tries to prove blake made

The right move by stealing her.

And later ... ?

Blake's last country artist

Fight for one live playoff spot.

Gosh dang it i mean, it's ...

You're both so good at what each

Of you do.

Voice, the knockout round.????????????????????

And now with "russian roulette,"

Here is taylor beckham.

You can see it

Through my chest ?

?and i'm terrified

But i'm not leaving

I know that i must

Pass this test ?

?you can see

My heart beating

You can see it

Through my chest ?

?and i'm terrified

But i'm not leaving

Know that i must

Pass this test ?

?so just pull

The trigger ?

?

Taylor and danielle,

Everybody.

Nice job, ladies.

All right.

Let's hear what your coaches had

To say about your performances.

Usher?

Well, taylor, the song

Selection didn't give you 100%

Enough space to show you who you

Are, because i think you are an

Incredible talent.

But working in your low

Register, i think probably made

It a little difficult to control

Your notes earlier, but by the

Time you got to the end of the

Song, there you were.

Like, all right, great.

Danielle, i felt like you

Completely took control and was

Able to not only bring the crowd

To their feet, but also take the

Decision in this round.

Thank you, usher.

Sharkira?

But you know what blows my

Mind about danielle is that she

Never seems nervous.

And it's really remarkable

Because you haven't performed

Many times but i think this is

Probably your third time in your

Entire life?

Yeah, the third time.

Thank you, sharkira.

Adam?

Yeah, taylor, i think you

Didn't seem confident but it

Wasn't a bad performance, it was

A good performance.

Danielle, it's just so natural,

You come out law and sing almost

Perfectly.

Yeah, there were maybe a couple

Things but that is just because

Of the territory.

You are pretty amazing.

Thank you, adam.

Of course, the decision comes

Down to blake.

What did you think?

Taylor, let me start with

You.

I think you're amazing.

I really do.

Thank you.

I do think you did it a whole

Lot better in rehearsal,

Accident think you lost as much

Control as it was very breathy

And the notes were way down

There and that's the difference

Between the two of you.

Danielle had the same challenges

With some lower registers and

She just kind of went down in

There and it's gonna be really

Boring for you one of these day,

Danielle, when you have to sing

In front of just 20,000 people

And not 20 million.

Blake, who's the

Winner of this knockout?

I hate this.

Gosh dang it.

Winner of this knockout is

Danielle.

Danielle bradbery

Winning the knockout for team

Blake.

Congratulations, danielle.

Congratulations, sweetie.

I definitely think danielle is

One of the brightest stars,

Could go on and win this

Competition.

Oh, my god.

I'm going to live rounds.

Taylor beckham,

Everybody.

Give her a round of applause.

Pretty much handed that one

To danielle with her song

Choice.

Good luck, sweetie.

I will see you around.

It was an easy decision to make,

As a coach.

Awful as a human being.

Coming up, the most

Emotional performance of the

Night.

You wanted to represent

Yourself as a shining star as

She watches you from heaven.

I felt you did that.

Welcome to "the????????????????????

Voice," knockout round.

Usher, down to four now, time to

Announce your next knockout

Pairing.

Who is your first artist?

My next pairing is c.

Perkins.

C. perkins, step

Forward please.

Who did you pair c. perkins

With?

Vedo.

You will have your

Knockout round next.

I paired them because they

Are r & b singers, however, i

Can only focus on one.

My attention will go to the one

Who knocks the other out.

During the blind

Auditions, 19-year-old r & b

Artist c. perkins got a

Last-minute button push from

Shakira.

I love you, sharkira.

After losing his

Battle to chris thomas, he was

Given a second chance with a

Memorable steal from usher.

Whoa!

I will be singing "she ain't

You" by chris brown.

So excited to be on team usher,

But i need to prove i have what

It takes to remain on his team.

I stole c. perkin, hope i

Could give him some lessons and

Show him what i think he should

Do.

?

You gonna do that?

I don't feel too confident

Behind that the challenge in

That song is the hawaii note.

I have to nail t if i don't nail

It everything i did is out the

Window.

The biggest thing is remember

To take a breath before you go

Into it.

If you do that, these cool.

You have got to take a breath

Though.

?

Yeah.

All right.

I have thought the song may have

Been a little bit too much for

C.

But at the end of the day if he

Can make everybody believe

What's singing.

Aspiring artist, reed

Aspiring artist,

Reed is dough, came to "the voice" to

Is dough, came to "the voice" to

Make his mom proud.

She was diagnosed with stage

Four lung cancer.

And did just that

Landing a spot on usher's team.

My mom is my biggest support.

I know she is crying right now.

Shortly after the blind

Auditions, my mom passed away.

In the battle rounds,

Vedo secured his spot.

Mom's proud of you right now.

Thank you.

Great choice, your first time

Performing a ballad.

The lyrics speak to me.

My knockout song is "everything

I do i do it for you" by bryan

Adams.

?everything i do

I'm using my mom's memory to

Give my best, heartfelt

Performance.

?

The song that he selected

Allows him to convey his

Passion, his pain.

This is yet another layer to who

He is.

Singing a song like this you can

Get overwhelmed with emotion and

It's complicateded to hold

Control of t i want to make sure

You cacan.

This is a vital performance.

I have to keep it together and

Stay strong.

Because i do not want to be

Knocked out.

With "she ain't you,"

Here is c. perkins.

?you make it hard

For me to see

Somebody else

I'm calling her your name

Yeah, it's messed up

'cause i'm thinkin'

'bout you ?

?it's your fault babe

I never wanted

Us to break up3 f1

?'cause nobody

Compares to ya, no

I think i better

Let her go ?

?i can't leave

You alone

Every day that i'm

With her, all i ?

?want is you

I wanna leave

But i'm afraid

That you don't ?

And now i realize

That she ain't you

But i'm afraid

That you don't ?

?even feel the same

And now i realize

That she ain't you

?

And now with

"everything i do i do it for

You," here is vedo.

?look into my eyes

You will see

What you mean to me

Don't tell me ?

?it's not worth tryin' for

You can't tell

Me it's not

Worth dyin' for ?

?you know it's true

Everything i do

It's not

Worth tryin' for

I can't help it

There's nothin'

?i want more

Yeah, i would

Fight for you

I'd lie for you ?

?walk the wire for you

Yeah, i'd die for you

You know it's true

Everything i do ?

?i do it for you

?

Give it up for vedo

And c. perkins in the knockout

Round for team usher.

Excellent job.

Sharkira some thoughts?

You know, i love c. perkins,

I think off very special tone,

However, i wish you would not

Have done so much of this,

Because this takes lot of air.

Do it again, one more time,

Please.

I'm not doing it again.

Reed is dough, on the other

Hand, dedicated himself to the

Task of singing.

Thank you, shakira.

Some thoughts on this knockout?

I applaud you on that level.

Vedo, what you did to separate

The two of you, you did a song

In a particular style that we

Hadn't heard yet from you and

You did it with so much

Restraint and so much grace that

I think we all kind of jumped up

And said, oh oh, here comes

Vedo.

And that's what needs to happen

In the knockout rounds.

C. no ries disrespect, but this

Is a moment vedo took from you.

Thanks, adam.

Blake shelton, what did you

Think?

Does c. stand for carl?

No craig.

C. 'cause it sounds cool,

Man.

Like if your name was b. it

Would be cooler than blake.

I'm b. shelton, what's up?

Maybe you should try that.

You need to try something.

Kiss my a*s, adam.

Thank you.

Thank y'all.

Thank you.

You know what i'm saying.

You know what i'm saying?

I do believe that's lot of

Smart talk coming from a guy

Whose initials are, in fact, bs.

That is true.

That was good.

That is good.

We are wondering who

Won that knockout round.

Who do you think?

Adam came over the top, yeah.

There was a moment, c. i was

Going to manage he was really

Connecting with the audience but

The show is called "the voice"

And there was a lot of the thing

That sharkira was showing you,

That became the thing you were

Doing where vedo flat out came

Out here and just sang the crap

Out of it.

Thank you, blake.

The final decision is you, coach

The final decision is you,

Coach usher.

Usher.

Vedo, this was a very

Emotional moment and performance

For you.

I thank you that your song

Choice was based off of how you

Wanted to represent yourself,

Not only in this performance but

Also as a shining star, as she

Watches you from heaven?

Yeah.

And i felt like you did that.

Thank you.

In this short amount of time,

C. perkins, i haven't been able

To know everything about you,

But what i do know is you're

Full of energy and you're just

Waiting to burst out.

Usher, the time has

Come.

Who is the winner of this

Knockout?

Um, in consideration of both

Of your performances, the winner

Of this knockout round is vedo.

Vedo wins the

Knockout round for team usher.

Thank you.

Con grad lations,

Vedo, moving on to the live

Playoffs.

Vedo won't round because of

The way he was able to lock in

And not make it about anything

Other than the emotions and i'm

Very proud that i'm still able

To work with him.

Excellent, bro.

That song was definitely for

My mom.

I think that she is smiling at

Me right now.

C. perkins, anything

You want to say to coach you

Shaller?

Amazing coach.

We had an amazing rehearsal

Together.

I appreciate it, man.

Give it up for c.

Perkins, everybody.

Winner's full version of

Tonight's knockout performances

ON iTUNES.

Coming up, blake and usher each

Only have one live playoff spot

Left.

Makes it very, very hard for

Me to make a decision.

Oh, god.

Holy crap.

And their artists

Will fight hard in knockouts you

Cannot miss.

Welcome bang to "the????????????????????

Voice," the knockout round.

Before we see your performances,

Here's a look at this knockout

Pairing.

I paired grace and the and

Swon brothers together because

They have a classic sound and i

Only have one on my team.

Grace askew came to

The blind auditions and wowed

Blake and shakira.

I found one that i really

Like a lot.

I'm excited about it.

I'm country girl at heart.

So i'm going to have to go with

Blake.

Yeah!

I'm singing "i can't stand

The rain" by tina turner, it's

Finally showing my bluesy side.

Man, your lower register, oh

My god.

I'm excited to finally use t

Moving forward is this the

Direction, not country, but some

Soul?

I just want to show that i'm

Not just, you know, girl with a

Twang walking around in cowboy

Boot, i'm from memphis, i want

To show that bluesy soulful

Side.

The one thing i would mention

To you is be sure you enun yate

Words.

It is a southern thing.

Yeah i know, i do the same

Thing, too.

Grace just nailed her unique

Sound but we need to know what

These words are in order to move

On from here.

Just tame it down just a hair.

During the blind

Auditions ...

?she was an american girl

Country duo, the swon

Brothers, turned three chairs

And picked blake as their coach.

In the battle rounds, the swon

Brothers beat christian porter,

Keeping their spot on team

Blake.

?day after day i'm more

Confused ?

We are singing "drift away"

By dobie gray.

One of those songs an audience

Doesn't get tired of hearing and

Something we don't get tired of

Singing.

The swon brothers with are my

First duo to make it past the

Battle rounds and a test tonight

How bad they are.

?give me the beat boys and free

My soul ?

The cool thing about y'all is

How raw the sound is, but that

Chorus, it seems like the

Phrases weren't as lined up.

In order for the swon brothers

To move on from the knockouts

And make it to the live rounds,

They are gonna need to clean it

Up vocally.

You think you got it as good as

You can get it you got to get it

Better.

This is a lot of pressure

Going into the knockout round.

Each step of this thing is

Going to get much more intense

And we are ready for it.

With "i can't stand

The rain," here's grace askew.

?i can't stand the rain

Against my window

Bringing back

Sweet memories ?

?hey, window pane

Do you remember

How sweet it

Used to be ?

?when we was together

Everything was so grand

Now that we've parted

There's just one sound ?

?that i just can't stand

I can't stand the rain

Get off my window

?keep on haunting me

Alone with the pillow

Where his head

Used to lay ?

?i know you've got

Some sweet memories

But like the window

I can't stand the rain

I can't stand the rain ?

I can't stand the rain

I can't stand the rain ?

And now with "drift

Away," here are the swon

Brothers.

3 f1

?day after day

I'm more confused

But i look for the

Light through the pouring rain

You know that's

Hate to lose ?

?and i'm feelin'

The strain

Ain't it a shame

Oh, give me the beat boys

And free my soul

I wanna get lost

In your rock and roll

And drift away

Oh, give me the

Beat boys and

Free my soul ?

?i wanna get lost

In your rock and roll

And drift away

And when my mind is free

You know a melody

Can move me

And when i'm ?

?feelin' blue

The guitar's comin'

Through to soothe me

Yeah, yeah, yeah ?

?give me the beat

Boys and free my soul

I wanna get lost

In your rock and roll

And drift away

Drift away

Won' you take me

Won't you take me ?

?i wanna drift away

Drift away ?

All right.

Let's hear what the coaches had

To say.

Start with you, usher.

Grace, i think that you are a

Unique talent.

Thank you.

My question is maybe your

Playing the guitar was a bit of

A distraction.

At times i felt like it was a

Little loose.

The swon brothers, i think that

You guys really moved the entire

Audience.

Colton, i wish would you have

Sang a little bit more but you

Definitely kept the energy

Going.

I like the way you're

Thinking.

A great performance and i

Would give that round to you

Because of how you guys carried

T.

Thank you, usher.

Sharkira?

Blake, i think if you want to

Do a vote of trust into the

Future and you want a different

Kind of flavor in your team, i

Would go for grace.

Thank you, sharkira.

Adam what do you have to say?

I love what you are doing up

There, an originality what is

Refreshing.

Swan bros what is great, you

Seem like you both know your

Place in the duo, which is cool,

Because that makes the duo

Stroke.

I think it was your best

Performance and i really enjoyed

Watching you much.

Blake, it all comes

Down to you.

Grace, you never sing the

Same thing twice.

Especially, like, in rehearsal,

Dowel your false set toe thing,

Do them in different places.

As your coach, i'm sitting there

Going, oh, god, holy crap,

What's she gonna do next?

On the edge of your seat the

Whole time.

It makes you grace.

That's what separates you from

Everybody else.

The swon brothers, on the other

Hand, you said it, adam, they

Know their place.

Zack's up there singing the lead

And driving it home and colton's

Up there bringing that energy

Level up.

That high harmony, nobody can

Hit that like he can.

Nobody can.

I don't want to know how he

Does that by the way.

No question why his guitar is

Placed where it s

Tight jeans.

Yeah.

But anyway, gosh dang it you are

Both so good at what each of you

Do.

Blake, who is the

Winner of this new yorkout.

Just because i kind of feel

Like i can get a better grip on

What's happening, the winner of

This knockout is the swon

Brothers.

Swon brothers.

Moving to the live playoffs.

The first duo since season

One to go to the live shows.

I'm really happy with that.

Live show sass whole new

Ballgame and we are going to

Make oklahoma proud and going to

Make blake proud, not going to

Regret this decision.

This is amazing.

Grace askew,

Everybody.

This whole thing is like boot

Camp.

Happy to have just gotten this

Far.

Man.

What do you think?

Grace, she was really great

Before this round.

The fact that she is so

Spontaneous and kind of lives in

The moment, that probably worked

Against her.

Ladies and gentlemen,

These are the artists

Representing team blake at the

Live playoffs.

Justin rivers, the swon brothers

.

I have 100% down-home,

Knee-slapping, tobacco-spitting,

Horse-riding country singers.

That makes me very proud.

I'm not surprised that blank

Has an all-country team.

What could you expect from a

Country boy?

This just got interesting.

Team blank has what it takes

To win this competition.

I have got to go do some

Coaching.

Still to come,

Usher's two remaining artists

Leave it all on the stage.

As only one live playoff spot

Remains on his team.

Damn!

Welcome back to "the

Voice," the knockout round.

We have come to team usher's

Last knockout pairing, katia and

Ryan stand with me now.

Before we see your performances,

Let's take a look at how these

Two prepared for tonight.

Katia and ryan are both

Emotional singers, however, i

Want to see who can make me

Believe their performance.

During the blind

Auditions, new yorker, katia,

Got three chairs to turn.

But ultimately, she picked

Shakira as her coach.

Catia went head-to-head with

Cuban songstress, mary.

I'm going to go with mary.

I may not know a ton about

Latin music, i did not have a

Number one latin record.

I'm going to be singing "mr.

Know it all" by kelly clarkson.

This is the first time that

She will perform an english

Record on television.

Man, i really love the runs that

Is really cool.

For anyone that felt like you

Were not the star that i seem to

Be now, i want this to kind of

Speak to them.

Catia definitely has something

To prove.

I want you to create a walk,

Too.

Something powerful.

Usher is really helping me on

The stage presence side of the

Things.

Times where you can just

Walk, you giving this energy,

You don't know a thing about me,

You know?

Yeah.

To win this knockout round, i

Really have to show that i can

Bring that sass and personality

To the stage.

As well as keep under control

What i'm doing vocally.

After the ryan

Overcame heartbreak and left his

Career in medicine, he went to

Music for a fresh start.

And he earned a four-chair turn.

You shook this entire room.

Because i sing soul music, i

Pick usher.

I'm singing "i don't want to be"

BY GAVIN DeGRAW BECAUSE I HAVE

Grown a lot in the last couple

Of months as an artist.

I don't want to be anything

Other than what i've been now.

I've been tagged that soul

Singer, want to show another

Kind of soul, rock soup.

Have the range, what are we

Doing with your hands?

Have a guitar in your hardens?

On the piano, yeah.

When you done, you have to

Find something to do with your

Hands.

I don't know, something about

That you take charge.

Okay.

Like you move t subtle

Theatrics.

Subtle thee at tricks.

One of the coolest parts of

Working with usher has been the

Opportunity to learn how to give

A performance without being

Behind the piano.

In order for ryan innes to

Win this he is going to have to

Commit himself to what he wants

To work.

That i'm not just a lonely

Brokenhearted man.

Workout for the day.

Something else.

I have much more to offer.

With "mr. know it

All," here's catia.

?mr. know it all

Well ya think

You know it all

But ya don't know a thing at all

Ain't it

Something y'all

When somebody tells you

Something 'bout you

Think that they

Know you more

Than you do ?

?so you take it down

Another pill to swallow

Oh, you think that

You know me, know me ?

?that's why i'm leaving

You lonely, lonely

'cause baby, you don't

Know a thing about me ?

?you don't know a

Thing about me

So what, you've got

The world at your feet ?

?and you know everything

About everything

But you don't

You still think i'm ?

?coming back,

But baby

You'll see, yeah

You ain't got the

Right to tell me ?

No right to tell me

Acting like you

Own me lately ?

?yeah baby, you don't

Know a thing about me

You don't know a

Thing about me ?

?mr. know it all

Well ya think

You know it all

But ya don't know ?

?a thing at all

Yeah baby, you don't

Know a thing about me

You don't know a thing about

Me ?

Damn!

Coming up ... ?

Will ryan have what it takes to

Be the last artist added to

Usher's live playoff team?

He is one of my favorites in

The competition.

You really did an amazing

Job.

I feel for usher right now.

I don't want to be????????????????????

Anything other than me ?

?i don't want to be

Anything other than me

I don't want to be

Hey yeah, yeah ?

?anything other than me 3 f1

Well, there you go

Ryan innes and catia.

Get some thoughts on that

Knockout round, first from you,

Shakira.

First of all, i am so proud

Of you, catia.

You did good, girl.

You did awesome.

Thank you.

The way you attacked those

High notes, the great deal of

Confidence that you displayed

Tonight, it was just great.

Ryan, i had high expectations

With your performance tonight, i

With your performance tonight,

I thought you were going to have a

Thought you were going to have a

Little more control but i know

The kind of singer you are and

You did have a few moments where

You displayed your vocal

Ability.

I don't know.

It's a toughy one.

Thank you, shakira.

Adam?

You say it's a toughy one?

A toughy one.

That correct?

Technically not.

But i've never heard it before.

Toughy.

It's a toughy one.

RYAN, I'M HUGE GAVIN DeGRAW FAN.

Every once in a while, i hear

The grit breaking through,

Accident hear it so much.

That's soulfulness.

Really?

Just 'cause i know the ... it

Seemed like ...

Wasn't enough grit?

I didn't feel the richness

That i usually hear in his

Voice.

Really?

Every once in a while ...

Yeah.

Really.

You frying to throw me off or

Something?

No, no, he is one of my

Favorites in the competition,

Based on this performance alone,

Catia was close, a toughy one.

Not need to say nothing about

Grit in my comments here.

Catia, i think i was more

Impressed with you in this

Knockout.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

You really did an amazing job,

Why i feel for usher right now.

Usher?

You were a steal, i didn't

Know what to expect.

During our rehearsals, i was

Really blown away by the voice.

And i knew i would be able to

Continue to work along with you.

Thank you.

Ryan, you had this kind of

Brute force about yourself and

It comes off very real, which

Makes it very, very hard for me

To make a decision.

That is the point.

The winner of this knockout

Round is katia.

Catia.

Moving on to the live playoffs.

Thank you so much.

I did my best, i showed

Everything i could do i left it

All out there and i'm so excited

To move on.

In my head, i was like ...

I'm going to live rounds.

Ryan, anything you want to

Say to usher?

Got a chance to see the heart

Behind a man people don't get to

See and i feel privileged.

I thank you for that

Ryan innes,

Everybody.

I think overall, as a perf m

Performer, it was a departure

From who i know him as.

He didn't win the round for that

Reason.

I feel catia deserved a chance

To move on.

Latin artist is something no one

Else has now.

I think that long term, i

Probably would have gone with

Him, but shorter term, she won

That one.

She won't round.

She won that round.

Ladies and gentlemen,

These are the artist

Representing team usher at the

Last playoffs.

Josiah hawley, michelle chamuel,

Vedo, and catia.

Usher's final four, a serious

Threat to all of us.

He has put together a strong

Team.

No doubt.

I have such a very diverse

Group, which is something that

No one else really has.

I'm really happy that i got my

Final four locked and loaded.

This time for the live playoffs.

It's on, baby.

This is the voice.
