24x15 - The Knockouts Part 3

Post by bunniefuu »

How you doing? Good to see you.

How's everybody?

Hi, guys. My gosh.

The boots with the tee. I want to
go shopping with you someday.

Niall's here.

God, you're cute. Look
at those pants. Saunter.

It's almost like a...

You look almost like
a sailor guy. I love it.

I just want Gwen's boots.

I'm giving you the fishnets
and the boots. And the boots!

My God. Get a
shot of them, guys.

Her boots might
bite you, so don't cross her.

You know, I've been
trying to use my steal,

and it seems no one
wants me to use it.

Because every
time I try, I fail.

We love when you
fail. It's so fun. Yeah.

I'm glad you guys are enjoying
yourselves...

because I am frustrated!

John, you've got
such a great team.

We're just doing everything
we can to keep up.

I got the revenge steal
coming at you, John.

Well, Niall's already stolen
somebody from Team Legend.

I'm gonna go with Niall.

What do you have left?

I have both. Both?

I'm just happy you guys
are using up your saves

'cause maybe I can
finally get my steal.

This is your time, John.
This is your time. Finally.

I'm for sure getting one.
Let's let John get one.

Wynonna, are you
having a good time?

I am. Being here has been
so good for my spirit. Good.

We get to sit here and be
inspired by some great artists.

I know. We're gonna
have fun today.

You're gonna be great.
You're gonna be great.

You're gonna... We are gonna
be great. It's gonna be fun.

And we're gonna be sitting there
watching each other. Of course.

We've got Deejay,

- Lila, and Stee.
- Lila, Stee.

Deejay is from Florida.
He's a performer.

He can dance. He
can do anything. Wow.

Lila is such a great musician.

She's from the
Pacific Northwest.

And then Stee...
He's gregarious.

He also has an
amazing voice. Wow.

And he's from South Carolina.

Each of these
artists have real individuality,

and I'm excited to see
what songs they chose.

- Hey! Snap.
- Look who's here!

We got two legends
in the building.

- The legend herself.
- My gosh!

Seeing Wynonna Judd there...

I want Wynonna to be my auntie.

Wynonna, please adopt me as
your nephew 'cause you're so sweet.

I was so excited.

She's a crazy celebrity
that you dream about

and a strong woman
with years of experience.

It's pretty surreal.

This is exciting. It's the
three-way knockouts.

Wow. Yeah.

You get to pick your own song

and really show
America who you are.

It's rough because only one
of you can win the knockout.

We do have a save,
and we do have a steal.

Be save-worthy, be steal-worthy.

So, who's gonna go first?

I'll be the first victim.
I'll be the first victim.

Deejay! Take one
for the team, Deejay!

You mean victor.

Yeah, victor!

Deejay, what song
did you choose?

I chose "Breakin' My Heart"

by Mint Condition.
Mint Condition.

You're going back
to my youth. Me, too.

Yeah, my era of R&B.

♪ Pretty brown eyes ♪

I was in a singing
group back in Tampa.

Everywhere we went,
people would say,

"You guys remind
me of Mint Condition."

And I thought that
was really cool.

It's in the era of R&B soul
music that I grew up singing

and a genre that I
definitely would like to be in.

Also, this was the last
song I sang on a stage

before I left on
tour with "Hamilton."

To come back and sing the
song again in front of coaches

that have been in this
industry for a long time,

I'm excited about that.

♪ Here comes my darling ♪

Sing that song! What the heck?

Deejay gave it so truthfully,

and I'm just so invested
in this show now.

It has brought me to a new place

of appreciation
of all these gifts

from the next
generation of greatness.

Good Lord. Alright.

Instead of doing the "Here
comes my darling" twice,

I would do ♪ breakin' my heart ♪

♪ Girl got me
cryin' all inside ♪

Okay.

That's like a money part. Yeah.

Like, we need to hear
that. Yeah, I agree.

It's too much of a
good thing, and I like it.

She got quotes.

I feel like a lot of your
lines are actual songs.

They are, kinda.

Your voice sounds crazy good,

but I don't like
when it's too ad-libby

without having a purpose.

It should be, this is
intentional melody.

Deliberate... get
out of your head

and into your
heart kind of thing.

So, enjoy yourself because
I'm a Judd, not a judge.

You know what to do. Thank you.

Deejay sings with such
precision and power.

It's insane.

I want to win this
knockout so badly.

I definitely have my
work cut out for me.

♪ Just yesterday morning ♪

I'm singing "Fire and
Rain" by James Taylor.

It definitely brings out
the artist that I want to be.

The old school
singer-songwriter,

folksy, soulful
rock 'n' roll thing.

Mic check time.

In the months
leading up to blinds,

I was just hustling, playing
my gigs, working on my record,

and I've clocked so many
hours playing those gigs

in bars, in hotel lobbies,

and now I get to show it
to these mega-celebrities.

It's pretty wild.

♪ But I always
thought I'd see you ♪

Lila brings me
back to watching James Taylor

sing that song and weeping,
and I just felt her honesty.

She's got a classic voice,

and it's really
easy on the ears.

It's wonderful. We need it.

So good. Yeah.

I need your voice in my life.

I got my eyes closed.

I'm sitting on my porch,

which is one of my
favorite things to do.

And you would be what I play.

Thank you. It's gorgeous.

I love that you do some
very, like, unexpected riffs, too.

That's what's so exciting.

It honors the classic, but
it shows me who you are.

And if you could
time your last vocal

so it's kind of landing right
when the end of that note is,

that'd be lovely. Yeah. Cool.

I'm always about
sticking the landing

so the audience
can be like, "Aaaah!"

You know, tell them
when to cheer, basically.

I love that, Lila.
Fantastic. Aaah! Thanks.

Lila is one of a kind.

She tells a story
with her voice.

- You tore that up.
- Come on, Stee.

To go up against these two, it
definitely makes me nervous,

and I've got to bring it.

I decided I was gonna do
Maxwell, "Pretty Wings."

Ooh, I love "Pretty Wings."

♪ Time will bring the real... ♪

I've had a great relationship
where I knew what love was

way too early in my life.

I just wasn't
really ready for it.

And I had to let her
go and let her move on.

♪ Remember me ♪

With this performance,
I have to make sure

that I'm conveying
these emotions

and making them feel it,

because that's what
it's really all about.

♪ Pretty wings ♪

My first two songs were
showing the performer in me.

I wanted people to see

that I could have a
great time on stage,

but with this song,
I really want people

to get a deeper view into
who I am here in the knockouts.

I just was leaning forward,
going, "What?" the whole time.

Like buttah. Like buttah.

It's so freaking good.

You really sound great in
every aspect of your voice.

My only concern is the last
two-thirds of the performance

feels like it's ad-libbing,
but it needs some structure.

You're the lead singer,
and I want the lead singer

to still carry the song so
that people can focus on you,

and not just this mass of sound

that's coming from the
band, the backup singers.

I got you. You want to
be the focus of attention.

I loved every minute of Stee.

He chose a very
challenging song.

He is just the package deal.

He is the full
meal. He's got it.

You got a great team. I love
them. I'm so proud of them.

Our team is crazy.
Aww! Thank you.

This is gonna be
a tough decision.

All of these artists
are remarkable singers.

Think about, "How
do I go out there

and just be awesome
in who I am?"

Yeah. That's it.

Thank you. Give me hugs.

I think the key for
each of these artists

is to have their best
moment on stage.

It's going to be a matter
of when the pressure is on,

who delivers in the moment.

That's who's gonna
win the knockout.

Alright, alright,
alright, alright, alright.

Let's go! Let's go!
Let's go! Let's go!

Whoo! Bring it on!

Wow, wow, wow.

Yes!

Deejay, what a powerhouse.

Your choreography, your
stage presence, your vocals.

Dope.

Whoo!

Yes, Reba! Didn't
expect that, did ya?

And, Lila, my gosh.

That song's one of
my all-time favorites.

And you sang the crap out of it.

It was just wonderful.

Thank you.

Whoo!

Stee, what a voice you
have, also. Thank you.

All three, very talented.

For my choice, I
would go with Lila.

Thank you.

Deejay, something
different this week.

It allowed you to show
off who you are as an artist.

You look like a proper
powerhouse out there today.

Lila, I couldn't be a
bigger fan of you if I tried.

I've already bought your record,

and you haven't even
signed with anyone.

Everything that
you've put your hand to

has just been perfection.

Now I completely get Stee.

You looked the most
comfortable, the most confident.

The emotion you put into
it felt like it was your record.

I love Stee!

Deejay, you're like, "Let
me show you what I can do."

And it's remarkable,
shocking, insane.

It was really, really good.

Thank you so much. Thank you.

Wow, Stee, all you have to do
is come up and smile on stage,

and we fall in love with you.

And that song was just,
like, a really great choice

to show that serious
side of what you do.

You all are so incredible.

But when Stee finished and
kind of did that whip around,

it was like, "Okay."

Just kind of like a
"drop the mic" moment.

Alright, John, what'd
you think of the knockout?

Everyone's commented in
a way that makes me know

that you all picked
the right songs

for who you are as
artists, which is wonderful.

And it makes me very proud.

Deejay, you're such a
great stage performer.

I bought every move you made.

You were ready to
show us all of you,

and you showed it
today, and it was so dope.

I really, really loved it.

Thank you so much.

Lila, every round, you just
show us how creative you are.

Every musical deviation you
made from the original version

was just so sharp
and clever and cool,

and I'm just thoroughly
impressed by you.

Thank you, John. Thank you.

And, Stee, there's a
lot of hopping around

between your
voices in that song,

and if it's not done with
a certain level of skill,

it can be like a landmine of
places a singer could trip up,

and you just...
smoothed your way,

Fred Astaire'd your
way through the landmine

with such skill and confidence.

We've seen you in
various expressions.

This finally felt like
it all came together

in a way that felt authentic.

Thank you.

John, you got a tough one here.

Who is the winner
of this knockout?

The winner of this knockout...

Is Lila.

My gosh. Wow!

Lila Forde, congratulations!

You're moving
on to the playoffs!

All the coaches
are salivating over Lila.

Everybody wants
to hear a Lila record.

You're incredible.

She's so musical,
so creative, so artistic.

She needs to keep
going in this competition.

- Absolutely incredible.
- Thank you, Niall.

Heart rate's increasing,
and I'm really proud of myself.

So good. Love it. Thanks, Gwen.

I'm going to the playoffs.
Let's go, Team Legend. Whoo!

Coaches, let me remind you
that Deejay is available to steal.

Deejay, anything you
want to say to John?

John, you have been
such an incredible coach.

I'm so grateful for you,
for sure. So, thank you.

Give it up for Deejay Young
one more time, everybody!

I'm sad to see Deejay go home.

We only have one
save, and I'm gonna use it

when I think it's the right
artist for Team Legend.

Carson! Stop trying
to take my job, yo.

Coaches, let me remind
you that Stee is also available

to steal or save.

Wow! Immediately, a
steal from Gwen Stefani!

Stee is just a flawless singer.

Hey! He
went boom, boom.

I wanted him since the blinds.

He just exudes this
amazing positivity and joy.

My God! I'm so excited!

Gwen, you are the best.

Somebody tell me
what's going on.

'Cause there's no way that I
have Stee on my team, and I do.

I can't wait to work with
you. I've watched you forever.

And there's so much that I
want to pick your brain about.

Congratulations on your
greatness. Thank you so much.

I can't wait to see what's
gonna happen next. Yes!

He k*lled it. I just
got a good one!

My team is shaping
up to be incredible,

and I'm so in love
with each one of them.

I love your energy.
I love your voice.

I love your truth. Thank you.

And I think you
are, in some ways,

the most, I think, original
person that's on the show.

♪ 'Cause I know you ♪

♪ And you know me ♪

I think on those big notes,

maybe just open
up a little bit more.

Well, it's easy to get tight.
Yeah, like a compression.

You feel like you
have to go harder.

You don't have to go
harder. Yes, ma'am.

It's not about level of 10.

It's sometimes a 2
or 3 can pull me in.

Conway Twitty used
to sing "Hello Darlin'."

Yeah. And the
women were crazy.

I'm excited. I
want to believe it.

You just shock me
every time I'm around you.

That's what I'm
here to do, Gwen.

Yes! You
got to keep me around.

Bias, it's really rare
to have someone

that just has this
kind of "it" factor.

Your vocal is so great,

but you don't even
really pay attention to it.

You're just paying
attention to you.

And that's what an artist is.

The winner of this
knockout is Bias.

Bias, congratulations!

He's great. He's
great. I love him.

What I like about Bias' voice

is that he has this
soulful quality to it,

and he can do runs.

He's country, and he
kind of surprises you

with some of the
choices that he makes.

I love you. Thank you, Gwen.

It's really gonna be hard to
compete against his star power.

See you, guys. Appreciate y'all.

Bias won my heart.
I thought, "Man.

That is somebody who
I-I would like to watch

every night on stage."

Where he gets his
energy, I have no idea,

but it's just incredible.

Still to come...

Welcome back to the knockouts.

Hello, Team Niall.

Congratulations, everybody,
on making it to the knockouts.

- Thank you.
- Thank you. -Thank you.

It's gonna get exciting now.

The next grouping is...

Noah...

Huntley...

and Claudia.

Ooh!

Let's go, guys.

Let's put on a show.

I was not expecting to
hear my name after that.

I truly was not expecting
this pairing at all,

which scares the crap out of me.

I'm gonna go start
practicing right now.

Alright, guys, Team Niall.

This is a taste of what we're
gonna have to do next season.

We love "The Voice."
We're huge fans.

We love working with the
next generation of artists.

There's so much talent out there
that comes through this show.

We love it so much that we're
coming through to be coaches

on Season 25 of "The Voice"
in the first-ever double chair.

I just love how
Niall looks out for us,

even though he's out on
tour and he's doing his thing,

that he left us in good
hands. Yeah.

So, we've been on a
group text with Niall,

we've FaceTimed with Niall,

we've talked about what we're
looking for in the knockouts,

and, man, he was not lying
when he said his team is incredible.

Team Niall is stacked.

The playoffs are up next.
The pressure's on. It's crazy.

Come on down! The
big doors are opening...

No way! Let's go.

Wynonna, what is
up, dude? My God!

Having Dan + Shay
there standing next to Wynonna,

it just blew my mind.

My God. It is
so nice to meet you.

Wynonna... she's
a legend in country music.

I've been to see her in concert.

I've played Dan + Shay songs

at gigs and weddings
and stuff like that.

So, I mean, it was really
cool to sit in there with them.

Niall speaks very
highly of all of you,

and I cannot wait to
hear what you guys got.

I'm fired up.

Having three
people in this round,

it's feeling much more real
that a big chunk of people

are unfortunately
gonna be sent home.

We've got a steal!

In this performance, I
really want to show Niall

that he made the right
choice stealing me.

Alrighty.

Just imagine that
it's Christmas time.

Snow is falling, and
Wynonna's there.

I know. No big deal.

No pressure at all.
No pressure at all.

I'm singing "Don't Know
Why" by Norah Jones.

♪ I waited till I saw the sun ♪

This song was actually
the very first song

that I played by
ear on the piano.

♪ Don't know why I didn't come ♪

Norah Jones is
absolutely brilliant.

Why did you choose this song?

I gig in Nashville, and
every time someone's like,

"Play your favorite
song," it's this one, so...

This is one of my
favorite albums of all time.

I know. When my
wife and I first met,

we listened to this
album on repeat.

I still do.

I want to show my
jazzy ballad side,

so I'm hoping to
showcase something

that the coaches haven't
heard from me so far,

and I'm hoping John
regrets letting me go

when he hears me play the piano.

Wow. Whoo!

Every goosebump that
can be goosed is goosed.

It's bumping.

You are a singer's singer.

I could genuinely
listen to you sing...

My God... all day.

One more song! One more song!

You've got something
that's rare... that breathiness.

You are what I listen
to when I'm not singing.

I'm in love with you. I
don't have any notes.

That's the greatest compliment
ever. Thank you so much.

My only suggestion, only note...

Yeah... is when
you get to that stage,

try to stay super
locked into the band

'cause your pitch, everything
you're playing is perfect,

but it's just about making
it sound like a cohesive unit

for the folks
watching back home.

They're gonna close their eyes

and feel like they're
listening to a record

if you get locked in like that.

Do you live in Nashville? Yeah.

We're gonna come see you.
We're gonna get that schedule,

and we're gonna come. Please do!

You're incredible. Don't
go changing anything.

You're a phenomenal
talent. Amen.

I was completely blown
away by Claudia B.

Her tone was so pure,

and her piano chops
were incredible.

It was the perfect
song choice for her.

She's gonna go far in this show.

You're not ready for
what's next. I'll tell you that.

Claudia, she's a contender.

At this point of the show,

everyone's such good
singers, it's nerve-wracking.

I'm sorry, Wynonna.
I might scream.

I like loud. Are you kidding me?

Making it to the playoffs

would definitely give
me a lot of validation.

Huntley, you just look
like a badass dude.

You do music full time?

I'm a full-time
dad and musician.

I play gigs three to
five times a week.

I love being a dad more
than anything in the world,

so it's pretty cool to
maybe get an opportunity

to make everything work.

Dude, you're here. Team Niall.

Meant to be, man.
This is awesome.

And I'm doing "Dead
or Alive" by Bon Jovi.

Let's freakin' go.

♪ And I walk these streets ♪

This song is about an
artist that has nothing

but a half tank of gas

and his guitar
strapped to his back,

just chasing his dream.

I'll be playing gigs

and have to drive home an
hour just to make ends meet.

When you hear
Huntley, you know it's Huntley.

It's loud. It's in your face.

He's the opposite of me.

He is an extrovert,
and I'm an introvert.

It can be a little intimidating.

That was so sick, dude.

I have one note for you. Yes?

I need you to
give a little more.

Okay. That was a joke.

If you give more, my head's
gonna explode.

I heard Wynonna singing
the answers over there.

I was singing the
answers like I'm in the band.

If you ever need somebody
to do harmony, you call me,

and I'm very serious about that.

Thank you. It'd be an
honor to sing with you.

Well, duh.

I love Huntley.

I think we can all
agree that he's fire.

The answer at the
end there, the "wanted,"

I wonder if he could grab
that, like you just did it.

Yeah. ♪ And I'm wanted, wanted ♪

Yes! Okay.

I think that's the big
moment. Just give us one.

Okay. 'Cause we're
all singing it. Yep.

When I would listen
to this song as a kid,

there's a line in this
song that inspired me.

"I've seen a million faces,
and I've rocked them all."

That line still moves
me to this day.

What I want you
to do on that line,

I want you to look dead
eyes into that camera,

'cause there's gonna be some
kid at home watching that line,

and you're gonna inspire
them to want to pick up a guitar.

That's so cool to think
about it like that, bro.

When you get in that moment,

your braids are,
like, just looking sick,

you're gonna look like
a video game character.

Just... It's gonna be so fire.

I'm trying to bring Vikings
here to "The Voice."

Huntley was unbelievable, dude.

I feel like he had such a
unique tone to his voice.

Bon Jovi fits him so good.

Good stuff, dude. Thank
you, buddy. You got this.

He's gonna do
great in this show.

Just a good dude.
You root for him.

What are you gonna
sing for us today?

I'll be doing "Where Rainbows
Never Die," The SteelDrivers.

Love it. Love it.

I picked this one
because it tugs

on the heartstrings every time.

You guys are
going to be blown away, dude.

Thank you. This dude's amazing.

I love all the friendships
on Team Niall.

We're pretty tight. That's
what it's all about, man.

My dad introduced
me to this song.

When I started playing gigs,

I couldn't drive
yet 'cause I was 15.

So, we've spent a
whole lot of time together

throughout the
years, sitting in the car,

listening to music
on long rides.

My dad's been there for me,
always set me up for success,

and it's a really cool
relationship to have with him.

This song connects
with the type of music

that I want to put out
there... country, bluegrass.

It hits close to home for me.

I'm from a close-knit
community, small town,

and I'm hoping to go out
there and make them proud.

♪ I will make my way
across the fields of cotton ♪

Man, he's so good.
I love his tone.

If I were Noah

and I was walking
into a group like this,

I would be really nervous.

There's loud and
powerful and drama,

but his voice, it
cuts right through.

We need you.

Means a lot coming from you.

And I'm gonna cry
because the world

is so full of noise and chaos.

We need this to
break through the BS.

And that's what you do to me.

Well, thank you.

My best advice to you is don't
be anything that you're not. Yes.

Be the guy that you are because
it's awesome, it's infectious.

You have this moment
a-and thinking of these lyrics.

"But in my day, I
sure was something."

Like, I'd love to see, like, a little
bit of a smile right there. Yeah.

As you're thinking of these
lyrics, just react. Yeah, for sure.

Noah was the silent
k*ller. He's from Virginia.

He's, like, big into
Appalachian music.

And there's just such a
great scene of country music

coming out of there right now.

I love the way that he was
connecting with that song.

I feel like he could be a
sleeper in this one. I agree.

Couldn't be more
different. It's awesome.

And that's what's so
great about this show.

It reestablishes my faith in the music
business. - It's a beautiful thing.

Well, I'm excited for you guys,
man, and I feel very confident

in y'all's performances.

All three of these artists
are unbelievably talented.

And I think they're all gonna
go far in the music industry.

I know this is gonna be
a really tough decision.

I'm trying to put myself
in Niall's shoes, literally.

I've actually been
staying at his house in L.A.

These are Niall's shoes.

Horan's hooves. Horan's hooves.

Team Niall!

Honestly, I would not want
to be in his position right now.

There's just too
many good people.

But he does have a save.

So, there's life to maybe
save somebody on his team.

But I still do not
envy that choice.

Niall's got his hands
full. Yeah, he does.

Niall Horan, how are
you gonna do this?

You need to help me.

Guys... You made me cry.

This is impossible
because it was incredible.

Claudia, my gosh, your
instinct and your tone

and just your
artistry. Thank you.

I've just enjoyed it
so much. Thank you.

Huntley, have you ever
sang out of tune in your life?

It was so good.

I'm shocked that you're
not already on the radio.

Thank you so much. Thank you.

And then, Noah,

you have something
that is very, very rare.

You're so authentic.

I think that you have a huge
career just outside of the show.

I do not know what
Niall's gonna do.

Claudia, we've worked
together, obviously.

You've been on Team Legend,

but this was the first
time I felt like I got to see

the full you in
all of your glory.

The musicianship,
creativity. I absolutely loved it.

Thank you so much, John. It
means everything. Thank you.

And then, Huntley, you're
so thoroughly perfect

and excellent every single time.

All of that that you're
doing, keep doing it.

I appreciate that, man.
You don't even know.

I feel like I just became
a Noah fan today.

This moment, this performance,
it was gorgeous. Thanks.

I can't believe Niall has to
choose between you three.

All of them deserve to continue.

I agree, dude. Thank you.

Claudia, you sounded
so much like Norah,

and then you took
off on your own style.

I enjoyed it even
more. I'm a huge fan.

And, Huntley, that song started

and I said, "Wow,
what a perfect choice."

'Cause you look like you're
coming out of a Viking movie.

It's just always wonderful

to listen to you and
watch you perform.

And then, Noah, I guess
the thing I miss most

is sitting on the back
porch of my home,

and you made me
feel that warmth,

like I was sitting
on that back porch

in my porch swing. It just gave me
chills and tears when you said that.

Yeah. It's so true.

It means a lot coming from you.

First time it's made
me homesick in a while.

It really made me
feel something.

I appreciate it.

Thank you. So...

So, with that in mind,
I'm gonna pick Noah.

Thank you, Coaches.

Niall, what did you
think of the knockout?

I didn't think it was possible
to sweat through a black shirt,

but I'm giving it
a good go today.

That's the best knockout
I've ever seen on this show.

Claudia, that was
magic. Thank you.

It felt like it was in a corner
of a jazz bar somewhere.

John was, like, nearly
standing on his chair.

I was like, "Ooh, ooh!"

It was really, really special.

This is your wheelhouse. Yeah.

Huntley, when you
were in the dark,

it looked like The
Undertaker from WWE.

I'll take... I will take
that. I will take that.

The way you're able
to hold your energy back

and make it dynamic, it's
really special. Thank you.

And, Noah, the growing
that you are doing is insane.

Thanks, man. You
made the Queen cry.

I'm just so proud of
you, man. Thank you.

Something special just happened
in these three performances

that I really,
really, really hope

that none of you
have to leave here.

I have zero idea
what I'm gonna do.

Niall, who is the
winner of this knockout?

Um...

the winner of this knockout...

My God. I hope I
don't regret any of this.

The winner is Huntley.

Huntley, congratulations!

That means you're
moving on to the playoffs.

I've never sweated
so much in my life.

That was a tough,
tough decision.

I chose Huntley as the winner
because he is consistent.

He rips the roof off the
place every single time.

The gravel in his
voice, the tone.

I think for the playoffs,
we're gonna have to get

this roof reinforced.

Playoffs! Let's go!

Coaches, let me remind
you that Claudia is available

to steal or save.

Claudia, anything you
want to say to your coach?

I wish we got
more time to work together.

This has been
the time of my life,

and I feel like I finally
got to show you guys

a little bit of what
I do and who I am.

I just want to say thank you.

Whoa! Whoa!

Yes! My God!

We've got a save!

And a steal!

Yes!

My God. I'm gonna cry.

The choice is yours. Who
do you want to hear from first?

Let's hear from John. I'm
gonna make Niall sweat a little bit.

I'm just kidding. John?

Too late for that.

Claudia, I feel like
I really understand

the style of music
that you want to do,

and I feel like I can
really help you get there.

So, that's all I'm gonna say.

Niall, what do you have to say?

Today we found out the record
you're gonna make.

What you're up to is on a
different planet. Thank you.

Please just stay with me.

Claudia, it is all up to you.

Who do you pick as your coach?

This has been
such a roller coaster.

I was just crying,
and now I'm, like,

the happiest girl
ever, you know?

Yeah, I'll just get to it. Um...

♪ This is "The Voice" ♪

Welcome back to the knockouts.

Claudia, it is all up to you.

Who do you pick as your coach?

Um...

I adored working with you, John,

but I haven't had
enough time with Niall.

And I'm gonna stay on Niall.

There it is.

Claudia remains on
Team Niall. Alright!

We'll see you in the playoffs.

When I heard
Claudia play the piano

the way she did,
sing so beautifully,

I had to press the
button and save her.

I just wanted to impress
you. I'll be honest.

Sorry, Johnny boy.

You should have never let
Claudia leave in the battles.

She's all mine now.

I've been in this
position twice,

so I feel really,
really grateful

to still be here and have
my journey continue.

Coaches, let me remind you
that Noah is available to steal.

Noah, anything you
want to say to Niall?

Thanks for everything,
man. You've been a great coach.

And this whole experience,
all you guys, like...

Whoa, John Legend!
We got a steal!

Yes! Come on!

Yeah!

Here comes another steal...

This is crazy.

From Queen Reba.

I'm pushing this button

because you earned it
out here on the stage.

Thanks, man. And I know Reba

is right at home in
the genre that you love.

She's the queen.

But I would absolutely
love to work with you.

It was so beautiful.

Thank you so much, man.

Noah, I wanted you
from the very beginning.

I love your country
style of singing.

I love the gravel in your voice.

Dang, I'm getting
choked up again.

No. I don't know... I
just... I want you on my team.

Well, two passionate pleas.

Noah, what a difficult decision.

Who do you pick as your coach?

Surprise the world, Noah.

Shake 'em up.

I want to thank
both of y'all so much.

But...

I got to make the
hometown proud.

I'm going with Reba here.

There it is!

Queen Reba steals
Noah from Team Niall!

Congratulations,
Noah! Isn't that nice?

We'll see you in the playoffs.

Thank you so much.
You're very welcome.

I wanted to steal Noah

because he fits
my team really well.

I don't think we've touched
on a fourth of his talent yet.

I can't wait to see what
he's gonna sing next.

It means the world to get
the chance to work with Reba.

She's a legend, and I think that
she can help me out a whole lot.

It's just nice to
be with somebody

that's country for a change.

I agree 100%. Hey!

Thank you so much.
You're very welcome.

We're gonna have fun.

And I'm just so excited
to get to work with you.

Congratulations. Thank you.

Dang.

Y'all getting A-plus
performances today.

I hope you appreciate
what you're getting.

I'll use a steal
sooner or later.

I'm super excited.

- I can't wait.
- I'm nervous.

Honestly, you're the last
person I expected to see.

And when I saw it, I
was like, "God."

And then when I
saw you, I was like,

"Okay, so now this
is a double whammy."

For this knockout,
I grouped together

Ms. Monét, Rachele, and Ruby.

Ms. Monét...

She's a very great, mature,
big voice. - Okay.

Rachele, 17. Wow.

In the battle rounds,
she just blossomed. Wow.

And then Ruby,
she came out singing

"I Want to Be a
Cowboy's Sweetheart."

Really? All four chairs turned.

I like Ruby already.

Yeah. Let's bring them on out.

Aaah! Wynonna!

My God! Hi!

I saw Wynonna Judd,

and I kind of screamed
a little too loud.

I mean, you're ruining
your cover, Ruby.

My gosh. Hi, Reba!

This is
crazy. How are y'all doing?

But working with two icons

is something I never
thought would happen.

The amount of knowledge
that they have, it's just incredible.

So, it was really, really cool.

sings, Ms. Judd listens.

What a velvety voice.

She's seasoned, and
I connected with her

'cause I think as we
get older, as women,

we not as relevant?

But I think this
could be her time.

Ms. Monét, I was like,

how am I gonna
compete with that?

What am I gonna do? Just sing!

there are steals,

I do want to try and

Ladies, that is insane.

What all three of
you did was so good.

Ms. Monét. Whoo-hoo-hoo!

Yes, ma'am.

She is a badass, this woman.

Everything you do
is just so tasteful,

cool, hit with just perfection.

So good, Ms. Monét. Thank you.

Rachele, I feel like you
stepped it up big time this week.

You really brought the emotion

and, as per usual,
a flawless vocal.

And, Ruby, you are
on a different planet.

It's amazing what
you do with your voice

and the power
that comes out of it.

This is not an easy decision.

Everybody is so strong.

Ms. Monét, I'm just wondering

who's gonna massage your
feet after that performance. Girl.

Because, like, you were
leaping in those shoes.

To be able to be
that captivating?

It was really, really well done.

Rachele, your tone

and everything about
how you sing is beautiful.

I loved it so much. Thank
you so much. Thank you.

Ruby, everything
about you is original,

yet you remind us of
something so classic,

and it's just
incredible, your instinct.

I think that Ruby, for me,
is probably the winner.

Okay.

Ms. Monét, you've
always been excellent,

But this was like a
tour de force.

How can someone sing this well

and do all the things
that they're doing?

It's like Beyoncé can do it.

Like, a few people can
do it, but not very many.

Flawless.

And then, Rachele.

It just felt really
expressive and confident.

You sounded amazing. I
was very impressed by it.

Thank you.

And then, Ruby, it's like
you're from another planet.

I don't get it.

Like, how at 16,

your voice has this
power and roundness.

And you're so
perfect for Team Reba

on her first season
on "The Voice."

You guys were a
match made in heaven.

All three of you were just
the best we've seen you.

Thank you.

Thank you, coaches.

Alright, Reba,

first, what'd you
think of that knockout?

You three ladies are
absolutely incredible.

Ms. Monét, all of the
things that you did on stage

were tasteful.

That whistle note, you
did it, and you just went on,

and you just
completely slayed us all.

And, Rachele, you have
grown so much in your talent

and your stage presence.

You're just like
a little sponge.

You're wanting to
know, how do I improve?

And you definitely have.

Thank you so much.

Ruby, I love your voice.

I can't wait to hear you
sing Patsy Cline songs

with your break in your voice.

It's just that cry.

It's that earnest, "My
heart has been broken.

Here it is."

All three of you,
I'm so proud of you.

No matter what happens,
you are all three winners.

Thank you. Thank you.

Reba, the time has come.

Who is the winner
of this knockout?

The winner of this
knockout round is Ruby.

Ruby, congratulations!

You are moving on to the
playoffs for Team Reba!

Ruby reminds me of old country.

We need that tone, that
yodel, that country feel.

You took all the notes that
Wynonna and I gave you,

and you used them.

It's such a great feeling.

I'm so excited to
go to the playoffs.

I can't wait.

You are so good.

I would have stolen
Ms. Monét if I had a steal.

Every single time
she comes out here,

she puts on ridiculous
vocal performances.

Don't quit singing. No, I won't.

You're just too
good to stop. Yes.

I just wish there was some
way that we could keep them all.

At least bring them back.

It's just so hard to
send them home.

That was amazing.
Breaks my heart.

Everybody just,
like... just k*lled it.

♪ This is "The Voice" ♪

Welcome back.

How you feeling? Good?

I'm so
overwhelmed. I know.

I just feel it, you know? Yeah.

I just... I'm thinking,
what would I do

if I was standing here
and we were sitting there?

What would I do? I know.

And look how
good they handle it.

It's amazing. They
handled it so well.

Look who's here,
you guys. Wynonna!

Hi!

I'm pretty sure
my heart stopped.

How are you? Hi, Kristen.

To get to be face to
face with her is an honor

that I'm never going to forget.

We brought in the big g*ns.

Yeah. As you can
see. - Seriously!

She has such good advice.

She's done everything...

Twice. Yeah.

So, let's do this. Okay. Yes!

I'm new on Team Gwen,

so I feel like I have
a lot extra to prove.

Kristen has a really,
really strong voice.

And Kara is like a force,

so a lot of
competition, for sure.

I'm excited, CORii.

You did so well
where I was like,

"She deserved
for me to steal her."

CORii is just an
amazing powerhouse singer.

We don't really have
a lot of singers like her.

So, you picked this song.

This is definitely one of
my favorite songs of all time.

It's "Ain't It Fun" by Paramore.

♪ Well, I don't mind ♪

I've always looked
up to Hayley Williams

because she has that edge,

but she also has that
R&B in her as well.

And that's kind of
how I see myself.

The lyrics that I
relate to the most

is the "Don't go
crying to your mama."

I talk to my mom three
to five times a day.

She worked really hard to
take me to singing lessons.

The one thing I
want my son to learn

is no matter what
he chooses to do,

I will be behind
him no matter what.

♪ 'Cause you're on your own ♪

CORii... I just found her
to be striving for excellence.

I can tell when somebody's
really, really wanting it.

Like, it means
everything to her.

♪ In the real world ♪

Wow.

Wow!

I'm blown away by your
voice and your conviction.

But I would just say,
just try to relax a little bit

because it's just too much
of a good thing all at once.

And as a mom, I know
we're giving it all we've got

in that two minutes,
'cause that's what we do.

We show up and
we show out. Yeah.

But then there's also a time
to relax and enjoy your journey.

Yeah, have fun.

Paramore is so alternative,

and you're singing
it in a pop way, right?

With the runs and everything.

It's distracting
me from the lyric.

To me, I would be
like ♪ Ain't it fun? ♪

Like it's sarcastic.
"This sucks, actually."

You know what I mean?

You got this.

CORii... she's a powerhouse,

and she's going to push me

to come swinging
even harder, you know?

Gotta

Well, what did you
choose to sing for us?

I chose "Leave " by JoJo.

I'm R&B, but it has, like,
a pop flair to it, as well.

♪ I've been waiting
all day for ya, bae ♪

This song is about

telling somebody
to get out of your life.

They're not treating you the way
that you deserve to be treated.

I can relate to it

because I've been
through the same thing.

♪ You said that you
would treat me right ♪

♪ But you was just
a waste of time ♪

I was in that
relationship four years.

I wanted what I
saw for us so bad,

but it was breaking
me, so I had to let go.

It was tough, but
look at me now.

- Yeah!
- Wow!

I mean, you are
so good. Thank you.

But it wasn't until the chorus

that you really started
to lock in. Okay.

Get real in a way that's
not about performing,

and let me hear it. Yeah.

I want it to be so believable
that I feel every word

that you're saying
because you're honest.

What if you weren't
on "The Voice"

and you were singing
it in your bedroom?

♪ Won't you come and
sit and talk to me? ♪ Whoo!

♪ And tell me how
we're gonna be... ♪

I think Kara is not aware
of how gifted she is.

Towards the end,

I felt like she
really blossomed.

♪ ...you and me ♪

Kara, I adore her.

She technically can do
so much with her voice.

She has a big range, she
has this realness to her,

and it was a really
cool performance.

Yummy!
Halle-freaking-lujah!

It's like, just, we
got to see you.

Thank you so much.
Thank you. Well done.

CORii and Kara,
they're nailing it.

I mean, they're
up in the rafters.

They're doing all the runs,

so there is an
intimidating factor in that.

But I really want
to get to playoffs.

So, I have to just
sing my booty off.

So, I'm doing "This
One's for the Girls"

by Martina McBride.

This one was always
one that I loved.

Just looking at the verse
with being 13 and everything.

I was the 13-year-old
with the bad haircut,

but I'm also, when I'm not here,

I'm a singing teacher back
home, and I teach a lot of girls.

My youngest student's
4 years old... I love that.

And my oldest female
student's in her 50s.

My goodness.

♪ This is for all... ♪

From the time they're kids,

I grow these
relationships with them.

They come with...
They're wanting advice,

and I'm trying to help them
accomplish their dreams.

And this song makes me
think of them every single time.

Hi, Miss Kristen! I'm so
excited you're on "The Voice"!

Okay, Coach
Kristen, you got this.

You're going to do
amazing. Deep breaths.

♪ Stand your ground ♪

So, it's for all
the girls out there.

I really hope they can hear
my heart when I'm singing it

and it's going to be a
way for us to connect.

♪ This one's for the girls ♪

Kristen is really
the full-deal package.

She really turns into a
star when she's singing.

Performance-wise,
she's really learned a lot

about not taking it too far,

and she feels it
when she's singing it.

I think she has
so much potential.

Thank you.

I'm exhausted. I cried.

So, there's not a
girl on the planet

that doesn't feel like
she's still 13, in a way.

I'm going to ask you
to at least once or twice

look into the camera,

because you're
singing an anthem,

so you're singing to
every girl out there.

Try to think about how
people are going to relate

to your humanness
as a girl more.

Taylor's really good at this

in the way that she
writes her songs.

It shows with stadiums
full of girls that are like,

"I relate to you and
how you're saying this,

your view," right?

Less performer, more passion
towards talking to the women

and the girls out there.

She just has such
great instincts and stuff,

and she's country, and
this is a country song.

You're country.

I'm a fake Okie, like...

Not anymore. I
think you've earned it.

You're one of us now, Gwen.

I do wonder about these
nails in Oklahoma, though.

Yeah, they get a lot of
attention in Oklahoma.

Well done, my dear. Well done.

You guys all did
so good. Thanks!

I think I'm overwhelmed
by the talent.

A lot of times I'm like...

because it's just how I felt.

It's extraordinary.

Today was the coolest day ever.

It would be tough
for me to have to make a choice

because I'm such a heart person.

Gwen, good luck.

I don't know how
you're going to do it.

Good job, ladies!

Wow, wow, wow.

CORii, you have
such a powerful voice.

I was a little bit
concerned about that song

not matching your
voice perfectly,

but you still sounded great.

It was so good. Thank you.

Kara, you really look
like a star up there.

And I just believe
you as an artist.

Like, you belong on this stage.

Thank you, John.

And, Kristen, you're so good.

Even just the little twang
you had in your voice,

it sounded amazing.

There was a moment
where it felt like

you lost your way a little bit.

I don't know if you got, like...

I got a little
emotional... emotional.

Yeah. Yeah.

Whatever the case, like,
you're clearly such a good singer.

I think you're really great.

Ladies, great job.

Y'all look great
up there on stage.

CORii, I think that song
was perfect for your voice,

and I'm very proud of you.

I think you've come a long
way since the blind auditions.

Kara, I think you're
a great singer.

You look wonderful. Your
stage presence is great.

And, Kristen, I loved your song.

I just think it's hard to
sing soft after singing loud.

So, that was a very
gutsy choice on your part.

I think I'd pick CORii.

Thanks, Reba.

Kara, yeah, I love that song.

The way you told the
story, as well, it was brilliant.

And the way you played
around the backing vocals

on the track were phenomenal.

And, Kristen, I've
really felt that emotion.

I could see you singing to
this little girl down the front,

and it was really like,
"This one's for the girls."

It was a proper message.

I honestly didn't care that
you lost the plot afterwards.

I've always been
a fan of Kristen,

so I'm going to
stick with Kristen.

Thank you, coaches.

Gwen, give us your
thoughts on the knockout.

CORii, even though you
always want to be on 10,

because you can...

I could see you holding back.

And I don't mean
that in a bad way.

Like, I mean that in a good way.

I've just really enjoyed
watching you grow

right before my eyes.

Aw, thank you.

Kara, you're so good at being
able to be dynamic on stage.

I mean, your
swag, your attitude.

I was like, "What is happening?

Like, yes. Bring it!"

Thank you.

I adore Kristen.

Like, I did notice that
second half vocally

wasn't your sweet, sweet spot,

but I didn't care,
because if I were a girl,

like, I would relate
to you right there.

So, this makes
it really difficult,

because all three of you
are so good at being you.

And, like, how do
I choose one you?

Gwen, the time has come.

This is so bad. I
hate this so much.

Who is the winner
of this knockout?

sh**t.

I'm just going to
go with who I think

won this knockout tonight.

And I'm going to go
ahead and say that,

Kara, you won this knockout.

Congratulations, Kara.

You are moving
on to the playoffs.

Kara really rose
to the occasion.

She was just so swaggy
and had so much attitude.

The way that she delivered
the lyric just felt believable.

You did so good. Thank you.

I'm so excited for my
team going into the playoffs.

I think I might have the
winner on my team this year.

I'm just so grateful.

I'm going to playoffs.

Let's go, Team Gwen. Aaah!

Coaches, let me remind
you, CORii is available to steal.

CORii, anything you'd
like to say to Gwen?

I am so just thankful
that Reba believed in me

and then you believed in me.

And I just really appreciate

you taking me out
of my comfort zone.

I just hate it that
CORii had to go home.

I thought she did a great job.

The farther along we get,

it's making it even
harder to let people go.

But the best are rising
like cream on the top.

Coaches, let me remind you,

Kristen is also
available to steal.

Kristen, anything you
want to say to Gwen?

This experience has been
a once-in-a-lifetime thing.

I get to go back
home to my students

and tell them, "Okay,
let's get to work to"...

John's heard enough!

That's a steal!

No, no, no!

What the heck?!

I finally used my
steal on Kristen.

She's been so good throughout
all the rounds of the competition.

I know she's going
to do well in the future.

Reba better watch out.

I got a country artist on my
team, too, and she's good.

Thank you so much.

I'm going
to playoffs. Aah!

I'm so excited.

I was a little nervous,
I didn't know...

My God. I'm excited, too.

I'm excited, too.

Welcome to Team
Legend. Thank you!

Legend!
