The knockouts this year
are just next-level.
These are the last knockouts
that I'll ever get
a chance to coach,
and I am absolutely blown away
because our Mega Mentor
this season
is one of the greatest
country artists of all time.
Oh, my God.
She's a legend in the industry.
No.
She has had her own TV show.

is
Reba McEntire!

Oh, my gosh.
She's been in film and

She is the queen of country.
She performed on Broadway.
She's won every
award you could possibly win.

little bit more with her.

She's the ultimate
storyteller, hands down.
You need to almost be
that brink of, "God, help me."
If you do it that
way, we'll feel it.
I'm getting goosebumps
even talking about it now.
It's amazing to
be in her presence.
I'm pretending that I don't have
to pee my pants right now, so...

Well, this is a
full-circle moment for me
'cause you were my

Now it's my last season
and you're mentoring
me one more time.
What does that say
about our relationship?
You brought me into this,
and now you're taking me out.
That's what it means.
Oh, it's so much fun to be
back on "The Voice" again.
It's always a lot of
fun to give advice
because I study people
when they perform,
and I want to be touched
when they're singing to me.
Come on in to my office here.
I let Kelly use this
office of mine, too.
Well, that was very nice
of you to let Kelly be a part.
This world exposure for
these kids... phenomenal.
What an education.
I mean, they get to work
with the greatest coaches.
It's just an opportunity
and a chance of a lifetime.
I'm... I'm excited to see
who our Mega Mentor is, too.
Who this person is...
So, this is one of my
steals, a guy named NOIVAS.
He's a Texas guy.
He's kind of a soul guy.
And then I have Tasha,
who is also very soulful.
And she can cover a lot of
different ground artistically. Uh-huh.
In the knockouts, artists
are picking their own songs
and this is their chance to
show what lane they want to be in.
Let's bring 'em out here and see
what happens. Okay. Yeah, let's see.
I hope these artists
realize how lucky they are.
There's really nothing
that Reba hasn't done
andhasn't done well.
Oh, he's got the
cowboy hat on. What?
Get on out here.
Oh, my God.
Reba McEntire...

I froze.
I didn't believe
that she was real,
and I started, like, crying.
I had tears in my
eyes. She's a legend.
I mean, it's Reba.
Oh, my God. I know.
Like, oh, okay.
So who's going first?
I'm going first. Alright. Okay.
So, Reba, Chance
actually blocked Blake.
And so, during my battles,
he stole me. Perfect.
So I'm ready to do this. He looks like
me up there. He's got his cowboy boots on.
He's got his hat, his
mullet. Look at that.
For me to get one
of the last steals
that Blake will ever
give on this show...
I'm gonna take him.
It's an absolute honor.
I'm singing "I Put
a Spell on You"
by Screamin' Jay Hawkins.
But I am doing both
Nina Simone's version
and Annie Lennox.
Love her version.
I'm also a girl dad, so I
love the feminine energy.
Good deal. So, I want

I started to really study her.
She immersed
herself into the music,
and that was the challenge
that I wanted to try.
Can I be that

and be able to touch everyone?
I think it could move
me to the playoff rounds.
Holy crap.

NOIVAS... I had no idea a
guy would have the range,
which is powerful.
Man, I didn't
expect that from you.
That's... That's
incredible. Incredible.
And you looked right at me.
You're not afraid of
eye contact. Loved it.
NOIVAS kinda has it
all. I'm figuring that out.
He's got stage presence.
He's not afraid to
mean what he's singing,
and that goes a long way.
So you end with the
big head-voice thing,
and then you went
back into chest voice,
and the transition between
the two goes off the rails.
Got you. I can guarantee
you she's gonna come up here
and everything's
gonna be put together.
This is the best
of the best now.
And... And you're one of them.
I just don't want you to
leave any stone unturned.
Yes, sir. Blake: Each
coach only has one steal.
That puts extra
pressure on these artists
to bring their A-game
because we're going
to the playoffs from
here, and that's a big step.
Do you think it would
be more powerful
to leave out the
last adlib singing?
Oh, the ♪ Ohhhh ♪
Like, the outro? End
there and take the adoration
that everybody's
gonna be giving you.
This is an amazing opportunity
from, like, the
queen of country.
Thank you. Thanks. You know?
What is some of the best advice
that you've received?
A woman named Mae Boren Axton
always told me, "Show
up on time. Be prepared.
Don't waste anybody
else's time." Awesome.
Two of country's biggest stars
gave me some
really great advice.
I'm definitely gonna
take advantage
and knock out my knockout song.
Good job. That was amazing.
Thank you. Thank you.
I'm really nervous.
NOIVAS' magic, but I
just want to show Blake
that I am a storyteller.
And I hope I get to
continue on his team.
It would be incredible if
I made it to the playoffs.
Maybe I should leave
it right here.
I'm singing "Take Me
to Church" by Hozier.
I'm really excited.
Hozier is so good
with his songwriting
and his storytelling,
and I just want to
be able to do that.
It kind of reminds
me of my husband
and singing it to him.

Thank you! Yes.
How did that big voice come out
of a little old bitty gal
like you?
Tasha is so cute.
I thought she'll be a
little timid, but huge voice.
Great range. Just
amazingly talented.
My only concern is the key.
You're having to get down there,
and it just felt like
losing you a little bit.
But the key you're in takes
you way up there, too, you know?
Stratosphere.
So it might just be
breathing. Yeah.
'Cause I've heard you
hit the low stuff before.
This is a tough song.
It's got the lowest of lows
and... and highest of highs.
But I do think this is a
good choice for Tasha
to show what she's capable of.
How do you connect
with the audience
and make them feel
what you are feeling?
I've got a video
running in my mind of this song,
so I'm telling the audience
the story as I see it.
Got it. Bring 'em on
stage with that eye contact
so they think you're
there especially for them.
Mm. Garth stole that from Reba.
Copied you in every way.
Well, this is an honor.
Well, come on up here.
Oh, thank you.
I can't hit a
fourth of the notes
you guys have,
so I was always giving more
just to be friends
with the audience.
Doing television
helped me with that
'cause when you see
somebody on a sitcom,
you think they're
your best friend
because they were
in your living room.
Doesn't matter if you're
playing for 12 people or 70,000.
Make 'em feel like you're
so glad they're here.
Great advice.
They've got great ranges.
I think what will help Blake
is how the audience react
to each of them.
I'm not gonna lie, Reba.
I follow you on TikTok.
So... Oh, no kidding?
Tasha has
been one of my favorites
from the beginning,
and then NOIVAS
coming out of nowhere
with this massive talent...
This may be the hardest
decision I have this season.
I don't know what I'm gonna do.
He's incredible. Oh, my gosh.
He's on the radar now.
He looked me in the eye.
I can't even do it
with you right now.
I'm trying to... I'm
looking away.
How about a
quick hello to our four
Playoff Pass
artists right up here?

Damn!
Great stuff.
That was crazy.
Both of you.
NOIVAS, you have got to
pay for a floor cleaning bill.
You've just scraped up that
stage with that mic stand.
That's beyond cleaning.
It's damaged. Yeah.
NOIVAS, every
time, you just bring it.
Dude, you're impressive.
Wow. Appreciate it.
Tasha, I remember
turning and losing.
I'm sorry.
To take a huge
song on like that,
and to take it to another level,
stuff that Hozier didn't even
manage to get on the record,
he'd be very proud of that rendition.
Thank you so much. Thank you.
Blakey boy, you've
been doing this
for a very long time.
Too long, some would say.
But, um, I'd lean towards Tasha.
Okay. Thank you so much.
Tasha, what I'm really
impressed with is the control
when you're in
that lower register.
Yeah. It was so fire
to just see you, like,
hold in that space.
Thank you, Chance.
NOIVAS, you were on my team.
I blocked you from
being on Blake's team,
and you're like, "You
may not have loved me,
but now you're mine,"
and I felt the lyrics
coming towards me.
It was teetering in the
diss record category,
but I was like...
But I just wanted
to let you know, like,
I'm a fan.
The icing on the cake is
that you will do something,
like, swing the mic stand
around in the song, on your knees,
which I thought was so fire.
I would probably
lean towards NOIVAS.
Your height difference
is just incredible.
It's literally like if I'm
standing next to Blake.
NOIVAS, you, like,
totally embodied
what the message was about.
We're all fans of you.
Tasha, like, you shocked me.
Like, a whole other Tasha
came out in this performance.
It sounded perfectly raw
and beautiful. Thanks, Kelly.
Blake, I think either
one you'd do great with.
Thank you, Coaches.
Alright, cowboy, it
comes down to you.
Just flip a coin here.
It was that impressive
on both ends.
NOIVAS, I thought
there was a chance
that you took the
word knockouts literally.
Got a little bit wild,
and it scared me,
and I liked that, yeah, yeah.
Your talent is shocking,
and it's fearless.
And then, Tasha, I'm
never surprised by you
because you got
that out of the way
when you chose me as
your coach to begin with.
Nobody was more surprised than
I was that you picked me. I was.
Sorry. And so it's
great to have, you know,
artists that come and
audition for this show
that you wonder how in the hell
has this person not
already made it? Yeah.
Thank you, Blake.
Blake, who's the
winner of this knockout?
Winner of this
knockout is NOIVAS.
NOIVAS, congratulations!
You are moving
on to the playoffs!
NOIVAS and Tasha has
been the toughest decision
that I've had to make
so far this season.
There was no way for me
to not pick NOIVAS. Wow.
The guy can sing
circles around anybody.
Thank you, Blake. Good
job, brother. Come here.
But now I'm
realizing he can also
outperform anybody on the show.
I mean, I really think
this guy has a shot
at winning this thing.
So impressive, dude. Thank you.
See you next time.
Hey, you caught that.
I was one of
Blake's last steals,
and now I'm going
to the playoffs.
I'm so grateful.
Coach, let me remind you
that Tasha is available to steal.
Tasha, anything you
want to say to your coach?
Steal! Tasha: Blake,
I've had so much fun.
You call me your little
buddy, and I'm just so glad
I got to have this experience
on your last season.
Like, what an honor. I'm
just so grateful. Love her.
Give it up for Tasha
Jessen, ladies and gentlemen.
Come on up, Tasha!
There it is! We got a steal!
Yes! Yes, yes, yes!
I was gonna
get you at some point.
Tasha, the one
that nearly got away.
Group hug.
Both my little buddies.
After NOIVAS'
incredible performance,
most people, including this guy,
would have absolutely
pooped their pants.
Yeah, Tashy! I love you, baby!
But she smashed it.
I was looking for
a big female voice,
and I got one.
NOIVAS is so fun.
- Yeah, yeah.
- That was intense.
When he was just
walking out, though,
he was like, "I'm
glad you caught that."
Like, he was... He was
sending shots at me.
He was like Conor
McGregor. Oh, he was?
Through his... Through his song.

new guys. I know.
I think we've got two
of the better teams.

How are you doing? You alright?
Yeah, no. Just hanging out.
We were just saying
that we're gonna win.
It looks like the piranhas won.
That's funny. Well, you didn't
let her in anything, obviously.
You were good at nothing
in high school.
Do you feel confident, though, in your team
for knockouts? - I'm pretty excited.
Yeah, I think it's
good that they got
to pick their own
songs, you know?
How do you feel about

Mm, I'm just ready

I got to sing with her
in Vegas 20 years ago.
I'm really happy for Blake
being his last season.
It's just been a
really good vibe.
Oh, that's nice. Yeah.
And also, I've been
able to work with her
and tour with her
and learn from her.
She can offer these artists

about Ali is, as an artist,

way, we'll feel it.
Having Reba connect
with me on a deeper level,
it made me emotional, but I
was fighting back the tears.
Make it more of,
like, a storyteller
and like you're broken
'cause you're asking
Jesus to take the wheel

Reba, she's the ultimate
storyteller, hands down,

You did so amazing.
You did, too.
I'll start with Ali.
Am I saying the name right?
Is it Ali? Yeah.
Okay. Ali. Mm-hmm.
You looked at me like,
"Don't say the name like that."
I just don't like
when you talk. Okay.
You're so special in the
way that you deliver a song.
You really nail your
intention every time.
Great job. My gosh.
Yeah. Thank you.
Marcos, there might
have been a little too much
in runs and stuff,
just for my taste.
For that reason,
I'd be going with Ali.
Okay.
Marcos, you're
always in control.
The low register
and the high stuff,
you always seem to find a
way to make a song work.
And, Ali, every time
you turn up here,
they never feel like
anyone else's songs.
They always just
feel like yours.
We know exactly who
you are as an artist
and the style that
you bring to the stage.
Thank you. Thank you.
Ali, you're an amazing,
amazing vocalist.
It shines through every
time you get on stage.
It just feels like
somebody that's in control
and has a grasp of what
they're trying to convey.
I think, Marcos, the same
thing could be said about you.
I think the beginning of the
song was a little bit shaky,
but towards the end of it,
you were very much in control.
And I just love
moments like that.
Both of you guys
gave very memorable
performances in "Voice" history.
Thank you, Coaches.
Alright, Kel, this is not
gonna be an easy one for you.
First of all, Marcos,
you did have some
pitchy moments,
but you sang the
hell out of it, man.
Your voice is just crazy,
and I'm in love with it.
So I'm so proud that
you're Team Kelly.
Ali, you move
us, like, so deeply.
Even at the end of the
song, you were like, "Yeah!"
It was so good.
I love both of you for
completely different reasons.
Kelly, the time has come.
Who is the winner
of this knockout?
Such a bummer. Um...
The winner of
this knockout is Ali.
Ali, congratulations!
You're moving
on to the playoffs!
I won't. Thank you.
I love Marcos, but I had to
pick Ali just because every time,
she delivers, even
in a subtle way.
She has no choice but to sing,
and that's such
a beautiful gift.
Oh, my God!
Thank you. You did so great.
Thank you so much.
I'm so grateful and so blessed
to be able to have
this kind of opportunity
and just do what I love to
do and show the entire world.
Give it up one more
time for Marcos Covos!
Great job, Marcos.
This is the knockouts.
The talent level is so high,
everybody's, like,
coming with their A-game.
You only get one steal.
And I'm just looking to see
who's gonna show
up and show out.
Still to come...
If I really get into it,
they're gonna get into it.
Tell us what you're
thinking in this with your face.
Reba continues

How you doing? Good to see you.
You guys up there are really
annoying today.
You're being like...
They're just so smug.
I'm just... Just
sat there, just like,
"Yeah, we're not knocking out.
We're going straight
to the playoffs."

To work with Reba McEntire,
the queen of country music...
I'm getting goosebumps
even talking about it now.
It's amazing to
be in her presence.
Well, the next time
I'm down in Nashville...
Let's go play. 100%.
She's an absolute legend,
and she could pass on her wisdom
not only to my team, but to me.
And you don't get
to do that every day.
Alright, Reba. Gina,
she's really shy.
Aww. You're going
to have to tell her to...
Speak up? Speak
up? Yeah.
And then she sings,
and it's like a different
person comes out.
Oh. It's really cool.
And then Kate's kinda got, like,
that jazzy kind of
Amy Winehouse-y vibe.
Let's see what they've got.
Okay.
Here they are.
I paired Gina and Kate
because they're my two
female character singers.
Hello. Hi, ladies.
Hi! Look who I've got.
Oh, my God.
I saw the red
hair, and I said...
Please, please. It's Reba.
How are you?
I did not expect Reba
to be in the room with Niall.
I was very starstruck.
I'm gonna sing "Somebody
That I Used to Know."
I'm really close with my dad.
Love my dad. Oh, that's nice.
And he was a
deejay, and it was, like,
a song that we always loved.
Wonderful.
My dad was a single dad,
and I feel like it's hard
sometimes to be able to tell him
how much I appreciate
and love him.
So, music is one of the
ways that I can do that.
You always make me proud,
and I think it's
gonna go fantastic.
Thanks, Dad. You're
pretty awesome.
Well, you're right. She's
very soft-spoken. Yeah.

That could be cool. So we
can hear more of that jazziness.
Want to come back up, Gina?
Return to me. Are you happy?
I'm thrilled to pieces.

That was cool.
That was crazy. Cool.
I don't know, man.
That was insane.
Whoa, Gina. That was so cool.
I love that song.
That song came out when
I was in high school, and...
Me, too.
The way that you interpreted it,
like, kept your identity
alive through the whole thing,
which I-I can always respect.
Kate, I know that song.
I've probably, like,
heard that song,
on, like, a skateboard
video game or something.
You weren't in high school
when that one came out.
You weren't born.
Were you in high school
when that song came out?
Probably. Yeah.
I loved the incorporation
of the guitar.
I felt like you were
just controlling,
like, the whole room.
It felt intimate,
but it kept getting
bigger and bigger.
And you really surprised me.
I thought that was, like,
your best performance.
Thanks.
Gina, I got, like,
Florence + the Machine
vibes from you. Yep.
Thank you. What you
did with it was so cool.
Your vocal breaks, like
going all angelic but painful.
You could feel the
ache in your voice.
I loved this performance.
Kate, this is, like,
the lane for you.
What you did in the
beginning and end
let me know who
you were as an artist.
You're just very rock 'n' roll.
Thank you.
I mean, here's the thing.
If I were to base it
on the whole time,
I would go with Gina.
Kate, I feel like this
is the first time I've
ever actually seen you.
Like, that was incredible
because it was just
so weird and out there,
and you just sounded so good.
Thank you. And, Gina, every
time you come out here, it's great.
Tonight was great.
Kate just took it
to the next level.
I'd be going with
Kate if it was me.
Thank you, Coaches.
Alright, Niall, another
tough decision here.
Kate, you were amazing today.
Like, when you sing in that
jazzy tone and play the guitar,
it reminds me of
your first audition.
You know, you're
a quirky character,
and that's why
everyone loves you.
Gina, belief has
been your thing.
And I think the longer this
competition has gone on,
the more confident
you've got in yourself.
I wouldn't have picked
that song for you,
but I think you
absolutely nailed it.
And that's why these
knockout pairings are horrible,
'cause I have to put two people
I really love against each other
and then have to stand
here and make a decision.
Niall, the time has come.
Who is the winner
of this knockout?
I just have this,
like, gut feeling.
Ugh.

♪ This is "The Voice" ♪
Welcome back to the knockouts.
Niall, who is the
winner of this knockout?
The winner of the
knockout is Gina.
Gina, congratulations!
Kate and Gina...
I really struggled with it.
Gina is just so consistent.
The playoffs is Gina's
chance now to step forward
and just trust in her ability.
She's an unbelievable talent.
Niall's been here
for me since day one
and always in my corner.
Yay, Team Niall! Ahh!
Kate, anything you want
to say to your coach?
Thanks for letting me show
the goofy person that I am
and giving me the
chance to show it on stage.
Thank you. Give
it up one more time

ladies and gentlemen.
The talent level at this
stage is just off the scale.
It's so hard to see really,
really gifted people leave.
Oh, that sucked.
I'm sorry, Niall.
Oh, I hate this.
I get it, though.
Like, consistently, I think
Gina has been better.
She's still so good.
Hi! Reba!
Yo.
Reba, she's a
legend in the industry,
Grammy Award-winning artist.
Kelly told me all about you.
Kelly told... What
did... What did she say?
She said she loves
you. Oh, I love Kelly.
Her being a top-tier
artist for so long
and... and having
so many experiences
is something that we
could all grow from.
We have Ray.
He's got, like, a new,
contemporary R&B sound to him.
And then, Nariyella... a very
big voice, very charismatic.
I put Nariyella and Ray together
specifically so
that I could see,
you know, who stands in
their own identity the best.
Not Reba. She's an
icon. I know. I'm shook.
Reba, she's won several Grammys.
She's been nominated
for a Golden Globe.
I love your hair. Thank you.
Oh, my gosh. We're
both rocking the red today.
Yes.
It was just an honor
to be in her presence.
So, I am singing
"Bust Your Windows"
by Jazmine Sullivan.
Ooh, okay.
♪ I bust the windows

I just love Jazmine Sullivan.
I look up to her not
only as a vocalist,
but as another Black woman
out here, making it happen.
♪ I'm glad I did it
'cause you had to learn ♪
I can relate to being so
heartbroken that I was like,
"Look, I'm ready
to make you feel
the same hurt that I feel."
It's not gonna make
me feel that much better,
but, sh**t, it helped
a little bit, you know?
♪ You don't know pain ♪
I'm more of a
powerhouse vocalist,
so Jazmine Sullivan is
definitely a go-to artist.
Your singing's incredible.
Yeah. Thank you.
Would you feel good
about doing the next one
with just the microphone without
the stand? With no stand? Yeah.
Yeah.
That person that
you're singing about,
you turn into that character.
You said it. Come in
there looking sassy,
and you've done something
to pay him back. Okay.
You have, like, the
technical skill of a vocalist.
Whatever you can pull
from the lyrics is gonna,
like, carry the
song even further.
Nari absolutely knows
who she is as an artist,
and she's going to work
hard to get to that next level.
Alright, Ray. You ready?
Come on, Ray. Ray. Let's go.
Nariyella is a four-chair turn.
You know, it kind of
makes me an underdog,
but I have a history of
beating four-chair turns.
Ray is moving on.
I want to make
it to the playoffs,
so I'm planning on winning
this, too.
So, what you singing for us?
I'm singing "Lately"
by Stevie Wonder.
Why'd you pick that song?
The way he writes his
songs is mind-blowing to me.
♪ Lately, I have had... ♪
When I found this song,
I had actually just
went through a breakup,
and this song was just, like,
perfectly describing
that for me.
My younger brother was,
like, huge support for me.
He actually flew out to
Arizona from Gary, Indiana,
to help me get through that.
I moved out on my own,
all the way across the country.
So, to have my brother there,
it felt like a piece of home.
♪ Yeah ♪
This song, it's not,
like, super crazy vocally,
but I think the passion that's
gonna be put into the song
is gonna make
a lot of difference.
♪ Goodbye ♪
You got a smooth voice.
Great choice of song, man.
The thing that I was
really wanting to work on
was being a communicator

When I'm singing a
song, if I really get into it,

they're gonna be looking

Ray is a singer/songwriter.
He pays attention to lyrics,
bring songs to life through

Nariyella,
I want to start with you.
I think that you're so
gifted to get up there
and almost act it out
as you're singing it.
It's so captivating. I love it.
Thank you.
Ray, that was so tasteful.
And the runs were beautiful.
And before y'all got out here,
I thought I was definitely
gonna go with Nariyella,
but it's hard for anybody to
beat that song, so I'd go Ray.
Thank you. I thought I
was gonna go Nariyella, too.
And I do think that you
had a good performance.
I feel like today there's
something holding you back.
And in Ray, there's something
so '90s about your performance.
Yeah. I'd be going
with Ray, if it was me.
Ray, there's some huge
male voices in this competition,
and I feel like you'd
slide in under the radar
because of how
slick everything is.
And, Nariyella, your
voice is, you know,
arguably the best
in this competition.
I think I'd just lean
towards Nariyella.
Thanks, Niall. Daly:
Thank you, Coaches.
Alright, buddy, give
us some thoughts first
and then tell us who
won the knockout.
Ray, you did go bigger in
certain moments on this song.
And this song is, like,
has a lot of movement,
so I know that's difficult.
You really smashed
it. Thank you.
Nari, I think everybody
knows you for the ability
to, like, go big on songs.
But I like that you
focused a lot more
on the attitude of the record.
If I'm going
straight off the voice
and what you guys
have done previously,
Nari would be
the right way to go.
But I think Ray had the
most compelling performance.
It's tough for me to do this.
Chance, who is the
winner of this knockout?
This is very tough.
The winner of this knockout...
Is Ray.
Ray, congratulations.
It's the knockout
round for a reason.
It's who can give a knockout
performance in that moment.
And Ray really did that.
No, great stuff, man.
Thank you, man.
He really showed us his
ability to kind of shapeshift
and take on different songs.
And I look forward to seeing
some of his takes on some more,
like, contemporary work.
You know, Chance was
a one-chair turn for me.
He really believed in me,
and I feel like, you know,
I've been coming out here week
after week and just showing him
that, like, you know, he
didn't make the wrong choice.
Nariyella, anything
you want to say to Chance?
I'm just grateful to have
been able to work with you.
This is just the beginning.
If I had a second steal,
I would have went
Nariyella all day long.
Any song that she sings
could be on her record.
And that's a sign
of a true artist.

Look at us. We look
like babies.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God. Who's that?
After all these years, it's
just fun to have a buddy here.
Oh, my God. I can't.
This is embarrassing.
No, it's cute.
It's embarrassing. Stop it.
So this pairing is
Kylee and Walker.
Because they have so
much character in their voices.
Bring 'em on.
Oh.
Oh, my gosh.
Hi. Oh, my God.
I, like, can't even look.
Do you always get
this kind of response
when they walk out to see you?
Not to see me. No. Hi.
To, like, see Reba
McEntire in real life... How are you?
The country legend,
the queen of country,
the country everything,
it took the breath
out of my lungs.
It's great to meet
you. I'm Kylee.
Hi, Kylee, I'm Reba.
Nice to meet you.
Girl, I know you are.
Never in my wildest
dreams did I imagine
I would be face-to-face
with Reba McEntire.
Hi, Walker. Nice to meet you.
And I was like,
Reba, I love you.
I really do.
Kylee, what are you
gonna be singing for us?
I'm singing "All By
Myself" by Eric Carmen.
I'm doing Celine Dion's version.
Okay, great.
I've always felt kind
of like the outcast.
Outcast? Everybody loves
you. But I'm just excited.
You sound like my parents. Okay.

Feeling like you're lonely,
it's hard to, like, speak that.
And singing a song like
this is definitely healing.

Coming on "The Voice",
being around other musicians,
I feel included and loved,
and it's really stretching
me as a person
and as a musician.

When Kylee came on,
she was real cute, real shy,

she's gonna have a
little bitty voice probably."
Wrong.
♪ Anymore ♪
Holy crap.
Did my toupee fly off just now?
Thank you.
Oh, my God.
That was so good.
Thank you so much.
You really touched my heart.
That's the biggest thing...
Thank you so much.
Is to capture somebody
in the audience
to where they're
sobbing or laughing.
Get some emotion out of
them, and you did it for me.
Kylee definitely has a
connection to this song.
She made Reba cry.
So that tells you the effect
that this song has on people
when they hear Kylee singing it.
The only thing I
would play with on this song
is to be totally still. Okay.
When you watch
an actor sometimes,
the better they perform
is when they're still
and it all comes
from here. Mm-hmm.
What you're doing
vocally is... Mind blowing.
So I would play it simple
and then just
blow their faces off.
Literally melt faces off.
She's bitten off a lot here.
Good job. Thanks.
It's important for Kylee to step
out and get on people's radar.
Did you know that
Walker in another lifetime
was a member of The
Kentucky Headhunters?
Look at him. Come on.
Tell me he wouldn't
fit in in that band.
He's a lot better-looking.
Are y'all both from Oklahoma?
Yeah. Same part.
Like, literally the
next county over
is where she was
born and raised.
And I know people who knew
Reba before she was Reba.
And she made it, so it was
like, this can really happen.
Well, what are
you singing for us?
I'm singing "Ain't
Living Long Like This"
originally by Waylon.
Love that song. I relate
to it as just a wild kid.
Love it.
The opening line is...
♪ I look for trouble
and I found it, son ♪
And that was pretty
much us as kids.
I lived in a town, the city
limits were a square mile.
There's not much to do.
Yeah, we got in trouble.
It was never bad, but it
wasn't never good, either.
♪ Can I, baby? ♪
This song is h*nky-tonk history.
It's like, almost country,
almost rock, almost blues,
somewhere in the middle,
and that's where my voice is.
♪ I live with Angel, she's
a roadhouse queen ♪
♪ Makes Texas Ruby... ♪
Walker had a
little swagger to him,
and I loved the
gravel in his voice.
It's really cool, really sexy.
♪ I'm at the bottom
of the jailhouse... ♪
Watching Walker perform
definitely puts a little
fire under my feet.
Very good. Thank y'all.
When you smile, it reminds
me of Patrick Swayze.
Oh, my goodness.
The only thing
that I would say is,
♪ Can't live at all ♪ that
note is the highest note
I think that you
have in the song,
and you just keep going back
to that same spot. Mm-hmm.
If there's one extra
gear you can find...
♪ Ain't living
lo-o-o-ng like this ♪
I could probably do
that. Waylon did that.
He did, didn't he?
That was pretty slick. Thanks.
And even though this is kind of
a rocked-up version of the song,
Walker is showing that he
does have a country side.
At this point in the
competition, it's tough,
and he's gonna have to show
us what he's capable of vocally.
Great job for both of you.
I'm just happy we
got to meet you. Yeah.
I'm telling you.
Aww, listen at you.
Kylee and Walker
are in two different lanes,
maybe two different interstates.
They're just great.
I would not want
to be in his position.
I'm wondering if the
first time I ever met you
was when you guys
did the grand opening
of the Starstruck building.
That was '96 is
when we built it.
I may have shook your hand.
I remember it vividly.
Go, Kylee!

Where did that come from?
That's my coaching.
Oh, you did that? Well done.
You're welcome.
Yes!
Come on, Walker!

Welcome back to
night one of the knockouts.

Yah!
Yeah!
He did a "Yah!"
Yah!
Come on, Kylee. Yeah, Walker!
My heart's pounding. Yeah.
That was impressive.
Um, two completely
different ways
to rip the roof off the joint.
Walker, dude, I
felt like that was
in your wheelhouse right there.
Every time you come out
here, you're fully committed
to getting the... a good
vibe going in the room.
Kylee... Thank you, Niall.
I thought you
absolutely nailed it.
You really got in there
and you just kept going,
and it was incredible.
Walker, you're
technically skilled
in a way where, like,
your pitch is always perfect.
And, yeah, you just
felt comfortable up there.
For Kylee, you
completely blew me away.
That was so raw to
me. Thank you so much.
There were moments
where it got a little pitchy,
but, like, what I respect
the most out of performers
is when they're so in tune
with what they're doing
that they don't let those
kinda things derail them.
Like, you kept going.
And then the last note
that you hit was right on.
And if I had to lean
one way or the other,
I would suggest Kylee
as the winner of this.
Walker, I love
this sound for you.
This is, like, where
you are on fire.
I love this lane for
you. It was perfect.
Thank you, Kelly. Now
we'll get to you, ma'am.
You showed not only that
you could, like, conquer
a Celine Dion song,
your little Mariah
riffs in there,
like, you're 20 years old.
The fact that you're
that kind of bold singer
shows that you want to win, one,
and, two, shows that
you're capable of doing that.
Mm-hmm. Thank you
so much. Oh, my God.
Thank you, Coaches.
Alright, Blake, it comes
down to you, buddy.
I've been dreading this knockout
because you guys
are so much alike.
Just kidding.
This is tough because it is
two completely different lanes.
Walker, it's probably
a little easier
to define what
it is that you do.
And Kylee, she's a
singer/songwriter artist.
That can k*ll a diva pop ballad.
Yeah, but that is like
one small little part
of what you're capable of.
But because you
guys are so different
and you're both just so good,
I just kinda got
to base this off
what happens in the moment.
Blake, who's the
winner of this knockout?
Um...
Winner of this
knockout is Kylee.
Kylee, congratulations!
I had to pick Kylee.
She sang the hell
out of the song.
You want somebody who's
willing to lay it all out there
and swing for
the fence like that.
Yeah, Ky!
I'm so grateful for Blake to
push me through to the playoffs.
I'm just excited to show
him what else I can do.
Walker, anything
you want to say to Blake?
Thank you, dude. I
wouldn't be here without you.
And to be able
to do what I love,
can't nobody take
that away from me.
And that's... that's
how I'm going home.
Give it up for Walker
Wilson, ladies and gentlemen.
It never gets easier,
watching talented
people go home.
But we all want to take the
best team we can to the playoffs.
Kylee... I didn't
know that she had that.
She's great. Yeah, I know.
I didn't know, either, by the
way. Why are you being weird?
No, no, because I
was agreeing with you.
I didn't know,
either, until she...
You're not used to that feeling?
I told Chance that's one...
One coaching session with me.
Oh, my God. One.
She... She... He said she
didn't even speak English
when they first met.
♪ This is "The Voice" ♪
Welcome
back to "The Voice."
- You've got a great team.
- I love my team.
Well, speaking of team,
we have Cait. Who we got?
She's got a really great
voice. It's an incredible range.
And then, also, I've actually
never worked with Kala before.
I turned for her in the
blinds, but Niall blocked me.
That is a steal!
I stole her from Niall's
team in the battles.
She's incredible.
Excellent. Yeah.
What's up, y'all?
Reba... Look at
them.
Reba McEntire!
Oh, my gosh.
I see Reba McEntire
standing there, and I faint.
Oh, my gosh.
She's been in film and
television and music.
She has done everything
that there is to do
in the entertainment industry
and is still so kind
and so humble.
Well, I'm really excited
to hear y'all sing.
I paired Kala and Cait
because Cait is one of the
strong front-runners on my team
and Carla is a steal.
So I'm like, I'm
gonna put you against
one of the better
people on my team
'cause I want to see if you're
gonna rise to the occasion.
Whitney Houston.
This is a great one.
Why this song?
A lot of my nuance in my tone
comes from studying Whitney.
I'm singing "All The
Man That I Need."
Now that I've got a little
bit of love under my wings...
Yeah. that really
makes me be able to,
like, give my
soul when I sing it.
♪ He fills me up ♪
♪ He gives me love ♪
I'm finally
experiencing the love
that she's talking
about in this song.
My boyfriend Cameron has
been such a great support system.
I could not have
a better partner
to be with me for
this entire process.
Hi, my love. I'm
doing this song for you.
Babe, you're gonna
k*ll it out there.
I love you.
♪ I need ♪
Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow.
Oh, my God.
And I liked you taking
the mic off the stand.
That was really cool. Thank you.
My only thing,
it's a little sharp.
♪ He fills me up ♪
Either throw it or add
a little bit of vibrato.
Or hold it. It gets
so big with the band
that sometimes it's hard to find
the center, right? Mm-hmm. Yeah.
For Cait to pick a
Whitney Houston song,
I thought, she's brave.
I was blown away not
only with her vocals,
but her stage presence.
I know she's going to blossom.
I love how sweet and
intense you are. Lunch. Yeah.
Yeah, it was just... Golly wow.
I love that she was like,
"Well, let's go to lunch.
I don't have any
notes."
I love Cait.
Gorgeous. Oh. Stop.
But I'm a little bit intimidated
because I don't have
a lot of professional
experience under my belt.
Alright, Kala, it's my first
time to get to work with you. Hi!
I'm so excited. Why
did you pick this song?
It's traditionally a
relationship song,
but for me, it's more about
my relationship with music,
wanting to give it
everything that I have
and being here is really scary.
It shouldn't be.
You belong here.
♪ And I'd give up forever... ♪
I am choosing to sing
"Iris" by Goo Goo Dolls.
This song, at its core, is just
about wanting something so much
that you're willing
to give up anything

Yeah. ♪ I'll ever be,
and I don't want... ♪
I'm trying to convince Kelly
I should be there

♪ Ohhh, and I don't
want the world to see me ♪
Yeah!
I was working for a PR agency,
and if I want to make
music my career,
I have to put aside
my career in PR.
It's worth it to know
that I'm having this
once-in-a-lifetime opportunity
to pursue what
I've always wanted.
♪ When everything's made... ♪
When Kala
first came on, I thought,
wow, the emotion that
she showed, I got chills.
Kelly cried, and that's what
you want from a performer.
Wow. Whew.
I felt your pain on
that. That was so good.
I'm, like, crying. Oh, my God.
You tell a great
story when you sing.
Oh, I appreciate that so much.
I love all your choices.
I'm gonna push you to
make a couple more choices.
Any kind of just deviation
to where it's able
to give that ache.
♪ And you can't fight the
tears that ain't coming ♪
Like, just get a little
bit hurt, you know,
with the intensity of
your head voice. Yeah.
Kala surprised me most.
She can make you cry,
um, after the first three notes.
That's rare.
You guys, great job.
I'm probably gonna cry, like,
this is gonna be horrible to pick
between you two. You should.
Yeah, you will. I know!
Cait chose a song,
you know, by Whitney Houston,
which is, like, one of the
greatest vocalists in all the lands.
But I will say I have
all the faith in her
because she has the range.
That's gonna be my hardest
knockout on who to choose.
Those two, I still have chills.
I don't know about those two.
That's gonna be tough.
Thanks. Yeah.

Come on, girl! Yes! Come

Oh, man.
Wow, look. Everybody's
giddy over here. Look at this.
I'm so angry, you both
did such a great job!
Well, I'll throw
in my two cents,
which is not going to matter to
Kelly of all people.
I'll start with Cait.
There was a lot of
sharp notes in that.
I don't know if
that's just nerves,
but, Kala, that was a very
passionate performance,
a lot of emotion in
there, a lot of dynamics,
so I'd be going
with... with Kala.
Thank you.
Oh, my God.
Any person that takes
on a Whitney song,
you're already scared,
but you absolutely
smashed it, I thought.
Kala, your storytelling
ability is just insane,
and that's what I lean
towards, so Kala for me.
Thank you.
Kala, I've been trying to get
you on my team this whole show,
but I just want to
emphasize the fact
that Cait just smashed that.
It was spot-on Whitney.
I'm trying so hard not to curse.
I'm just so, like, floored.
Who took that round by
the throat is Cait all the way.
Thank you, Coaches.
Oh, man!
Alright, Kel, it all
comes down to you.
You're like two
different ninjas.
One of you, just right in the
face, just knocked 'em out,
and then one of you, just
sneakily from afar, was like a sn*per.
Cait, I'm with Chance.
I thought you k*lled it.
I thought it was incredible.
Like, not many people could
have done what you just did.
And, Kala, you're, like, one
of my favorite storytellers
I've ever worked with.
Thank you so much.
You gave me goosebumps.
You totally made me tear up.
You don't deserve to go
home, either one of you.
Kelly, the time has come.
Who is the winner
of this knockout?
Oh, man.
You're both different singers,
but you both impress
the hell out of me.
The winner of the
knockout is Cait.
Cait, congratulations!
You're moving
on to the playoffs!
Cait came
out here, she k*lled it.
She loves big, huge songs,
she loves the challenge of it,
and she loves tackling
it in her own way,
and that is what this
competition is about.
Oh, my God. You
k*lled it. k*lled it.
And she is not only one of the
strongest singers on my team,
but in the competition.
Getting the chance
to go to the playoffs
and keep representing my
girl Kels is all I want to do.
I'm so happy.
Coaches, let me remind you
that Kala is available to steal.
Kala, anything you
want to say to Kelly?
You are such an inspiration
to me not only as a singer,
but just as a person, so
I can't thank you enough.
Oh, you're so great!
I'm going in. Give
it up one more time!
Yes! That is the
sound of a steal!
From Blake Shelton!
That... is a double steal!
Chance the Rapper!
I'm hugging you!
I'm hugging you!
Yes, my little Blakey.
One of us was very clear
that you were the winner
and one of us was painfully
clear that you weren't.
I would be proud...
Wouldn't I be proud to
have her on Team Blake?
Yeah, come on. Come on! Blake! I
mean, come on. Don't you want her?
There you go. Hey, do it with
me. Do it with me. Come on.
Here we go. Uh-huh. Yeah,
yeah, let's go. Come on.
Or you can take a Chance.
You know what
I'm sayin'? I don't know, just...
Do you remember when Blake
turned around for you in the blinds?
No, I don't. I don't remember
that. Oh, you don't remember that,
'cause it didn't happen.
'Cause he didn't do it!
It didn't happen.
I did turn around
for you in the blinds
andl tried to steal
you at battles,
so I was playing the long game.
That's smart, okay.
We could win together.
Or you could go with Blake.
Kala, it's all up to you.
Who do you pick
as your new coach?
I gotta say...
Blake! Blake! Chance! Chance!
It's an honor either way,
but I'm the kind of person
who appreciates the long game,
so I gotta go with Team Chance.
Ohhh!
Chance the Rapper!
I finally got Kala.
I've been working on
that angle for a while.
Oh, my God!
I'm so glad you chose me. I'm
so glad you're still here, man.
Congratulations.
She adds a different,
smoother take to my team,
a lot of control,
but a softer tone,
and now she's down
with the winning team.
Great job, Kala!
I loved working with
Niall, I loved working with Kelly,
and I know that
Chance is amazing.
I'm so excited to work with
you, man. It's gonna be amazing.
I'm excited to have
you. Yes, thank you.
I can't wait to see what we
do together. Thank you, me too!
Alright, Kala. See you
soon. See you later!
- Way to go, Chance.
- That was nice.
Well done.
That was well done.
Chance ended up
choosing Cait in the knockout
in order to get Kala
on his team as a steal.
I had no idea. I did not
see that coming at all.
Just when I thought nobody
would play any dirtier than me,
here comes Chance.
I was using tactics, okay?
I was using strategy.
Team Chance!
