24x16 - The Knockouts Part 4

[bunniefuu]

Give it up for your
Season 24 coaches...

Whoo! ...John
Legend, Gwen Stefani,

Niall Horan, and Reba McEntire!

♪ I know that you're tryin' ♪

Whoo-hoo!

♪ Ohhhhh ♪

Come on, Kaylee!

What a powerhouse.

Your stage
presence, your vocals.

Dope.

I'm holding onto this
table to stop the shakes.

Whoo-hoo-hoo!

You feel like a
real, true artist.

Whoa! We got two steals!

Gwen Stefani and Niall Horan!

No!

Don't touch me!

The sound of a save!

I'm gonna use my save on someone

that I know deserves to
stay in the competition.

Guys, last day of knockouts.

Whoo! Niall: Yeah!

Reba, how are you
feeling about your team?

I'm feeling really
good about my team.

I'mfeeling good about your team.

Well, thank you, Gwen.

I'm so impressed with
our artists this year.

What's so incredible is
they're all so different.

How do you judge who's better?

Niall, your team got so
good in the knockouts,

really because of the coaching
they got from Dan + Shay.

Is that what people are saying?

Anyway, guys, have a
great rest of your knockouts.

Okay. Here we go.

- We got this.
- We got this.

Yeah. You know what I'm saying?

We would not be here if
if it wasn't meant to be.

Two of these artists are steals.

So, they were both
four-chair turns...

That I turned for,
but didn't get them.

It says blocked!

But I stole them
during the battles.

That's the sound of a steal!

Let's do it. Let's go. Let's
go, let's go, let's go! Alright.

Are you ready? Yes, I'm ready.

- What's up?
- Hello. What's poppin'?

Look who our mega
mentor is. - Wow!

It's Wynonna.
My!

Taylor, Brandon, and Mac...

All very soulful singers.

Different tones.

It's a pleasure to
be here. So honored.

And we're gonna get
some great soul music

during this knockout.

Alright, Brandon. Let's go.

I chose "Nobody Gets Me" by SZA.

Okay. SZA.

Brandon, you've
taken on a challenge.

♪ Nobody gets me ♪

♪ You do-o-o-o ♪

I love Brandon's tone.

He's got such a gorgeous tenor
voice. ♪ What's left of you ♪

He reminds me of, like, a
male Brandy, in some ways.

He does runs kind
of like Brandy and...

And that kind of
scratchiness in his tone.

That's a high compliment
among R&B singers.

I will tell you that.

I think it's just the
very, very highest note

that's a little high. Yes.

And if you feel like

you want to drop
down to the lower note,

if you're comfortable, it's
just gonna sound better.

You just told the
story about a breakup.

I believe you in here.

You're here. Got you.

I want you to put your
hands on the wheel of the car.

The windows are down,
and you're pulling away,

and your heart is broken.

Tell me a story.

♪ Nobody gets me ♪

♪ You do-o-o-o ♪

I can relate to this song

because I've kind of
had that similar situation.

I've been in a
six-year relationship,

just that one person who I knew

that just believed in
me no matter what.

After the breakup,
it was really hard

to just get back
out there again.

But I found myself again,

and I'm just ready to
express that through song.

Just let it flow. You
have everything.

This is a true story for you.

Now I'm applying this song

to John and being on his team.

This guy has given
me another chance.

I'm thankful that I was
the one to get that steal.

♪ Nobody gets me, you do ♪

I get you. Thank you.

I'm not so comfortable just
yet with being vulnerable.

Thank you, Brandon.
Thank you both.

But having John and
Wynonna in my corner...

It's just giving me that push
that I've always needed.

Taylor!

Hi, Taylor.

What song did you pick?

I'm singing "Sweet Thing"
by Rufus and Chaka Khan.

A classic.

Yes. ♪ I will love you anyway ♪

Yes.

♪ I will love you anyway ♪

♪ Even if you cannot stay ♪

I love this song because
it's actually the first song

that I heard by Rufus
and Chaka Khan

when I was a kid.

And I knew when I
decided to be a singer,

I wanted to be a
powerhouse like her.

♪ Love me now or I'll go crazy ♪

♪ Whoaaa ♪ I went to a
concert of Chaka Khan's in 2019,

and at one point, she
was talking to the audience.

And I don't know what it was,
but she started talking to me.

And she just said, "Do you know this
song?" ♪ Ya know you're my everything ♪

And she just put the mic out,

and I just started
riffing into the mic.

♪ Whoaaa, sweet thing, yeah
♪ The crowd started going wild,

and that was an amazing and spontaneous
experience for me. ♪ Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh ♪

♪ Yeah ♪

Alright. Girl, you
can sing.

You're so good. Thank you.

I really want to just slap you.

My background singers
would literally come up to me

and act like they
were gonna slap me,

'cause I was in their moment
of being such a good singer.

And it's the
ultimate compliment.

I hope she got that.

Paul, it feels a little fast.

We can bring it
back if you want.

Yeah, I just want it to
be a little more sultry.

Here we go.

Make your energy a little
more sultry and less happy.

Don't be so happy.

More like in a smoke-filled
lounge kind of energy. Got it.

You know what I'm saying?

As my son says, "Mom, chillax."

♪ I will love you anyway ♪

Yeah! ♪ Even if
you cannot stay ♪

This song is not easy,

so I want to show John... ♪ I
think you are the one for me ♪

that I'm not afraid.

I'm not backing down. I'm ready.

♪ You are my heat,
you are my fire ♪

Taylor's voice
is sweet like honey.

♪ You make me weak with strong desire ♪
I think it's the right vibe for her voice,

and I think she's gonna
shine in this moment.

♪ Cra-a-a-zy ♪

Hey!

Yeah. That's the tempo. Okay.

"Everythang." It's
T-H-A-N-G, by the way.

It's "everythang."

The tempo...

It made you sing more soulfully
and more sultrily...

And it was, like,
exactly what we needed.

Is that a word?
Yeah, I don't know.

"Sultr... ""Sulture."
I don't even know.

That was my
attempt at word manufacturing.

Taylor sung the
roof off of that place.

Mr. Mac.

It is a little bit
more pressure.

But I'm gonna give
them my absolute all.

♪ This is "The Voice" ♪

Welcome back to the knockouts.

Mr. Mac, what
song did you choose?

I'm doing "Lost Without U"
by Robin Thicke. Okay.

♪ Tell me how you love me more ♪

♪ How you think I'm sexy, baby ♪

My dad loved music,
which is really one of the reasons

why I started to sing R&B.

My father was incarcerated

for the majority of
my younger childhood,

which was always really tough,

because I really
did miss my father.

♪ Tell me you depend on me ♪

♪ I need to hear it ♪ When
he got out, my dad opened...

♪ I'm lost without you ♪ ...this
kind of like speakeasy lounge

called the Union Restaurant
and Lounge. ♪ Can't help myself ♪

I watched my father go...

♪ How does it feel to know... ♪
from a prisoner to a business owner.

♪ ...that I love you, baby? ♪

My dad always did an amazing job

at creating opportunities
for me to grow.

He was like, "Boy,
get up on that stage,

'cause if this is what
you're gonna do,

you're gonna do it."

And so at 17 years old,

I started actually
covering this song.

♪ Know that I love
you, baby, yea-a-a-h ♪

Dang.

Your voice is so nice, man.

Velvet.

He has a beautiful tone

in that higher part
of his chest voice,

in that mixed
voice. It's very sexy.

It's dope.

And then, when you
think about staging,

just connect with somebody.

Work with Gwen!

Yeah, yeah. Yes.

I got to make her feel it.

Sing it like you don't care
that you're on "The Voice."

Just throw it away,
all the pressure.

♪ I just love to
hear you say it ♪

♪ Makes a man feel good, baby ♪

When you're doing this, that...

Your body's there, and
it feels really good to me.

I think he does have
superstar quality.

He's soulful, and
he's got that thing.

He's a mack! He's a
mack! He's a mack!

♪ You wanna roll with me,
you wanna hold with me ♪

He's slick as snot
on a doorknob,

and he knows it.

Ha ha ha!

♪ Yeah ♪

That mack game... that's...
That's what we need. Yeah.

I want these artists
to embody the song.

I want it to be in their spirit.

Practice is what gets us
from thinking to just feeling.

Be prepared and give
it everything you got.

I want to know that they really
want to win this competition.

Alright. Let's go.

Y'all look so good right now.

Stunning.

Look at
Mac! I'll see you, Mac!

Now singing "Lost Without
U," here's Mac Royals.

Let's go, Mac!

Yes, Brandon! Yes!

Felt good!

Whoo! Whoo!

Yes! Niall:

Brandon, your
song was wonderful.

Stage presence,
looked great. Thank you.

My gosh. Taylor,
what a voice you have.

Thank you. Yeah. Wow. Wow.

Showmanship,
that range, powerful.

Absolutely knocked
it out of the ballpark.

Whoo! Way to go.

Thank you.

I guess I'd have
to go with Taylor.

Thank you.

Wow. Mac, not a
thing out of tune.

I've never seen that before
on "The Voice," by the way,

where he's like, "Well,
let's break it down."

I'm gonna go chest out on
my next suit, as well, I think.

Taylor Deneen, it's nuts what
you can do with your voice.

Thank you. And every time you
think, "This can't get any bigger..."

I nearly fell through the chair.

It was just so good.

I think, based on
growth, I think Mac.

Thank you.

Obviously, Brandon,
you were mine originally.

Everyone's, like,
dying to see you.

And you finally were
like, "Okay. I'll show you."

Like, "Here it is," you know?

Mac, were we locking eyes

like, the entire, like,
performance? -!

There was a point where
I was like, "My God!"

Everything that you
brought to that performance

was exactly like something

I would have watched on
some Grammy performance.

Thank you so much.

I would probably
lean towards Mac.

Thank you, Coaches.

John, you got a tough
decision here in a minute.

First, give us your thoughts
on the knockout, please.

Brandon, it was really
wise for you to pick this song

because it connects
to your own story.

And we felt that this was
your best work on our stage.

Congratulations. It was so good.
Thank you so much. Thank you.

Aww!

Mac, you just laid all of your
mack game on Gwen Stefani.

And then you just sang
the hell out of that song.

You were not playing today, Mac.

And then Taylor!

You just bring the
power when it's time,

and it keeps ascending
and keeps going.

And you did Chaka
justice. Thank you so much.

John, high praise for
all three of your artists.

Who is the winner
of this knockout?

The winner of this knockout...

Is Mac.

Mac, congratulations.

Mac... my God.

He's got so many parts of
his voice that sound amazing...

His falsetto, his chest voice.

He went low, and
it was sosmooth.

Yo, I'm going to the playoffs.

Team Legend, baby.

Yeah, yes.

Coaches, let me remind you

that Brandon is
available to save.

Brandon, anything
you'd like to say to John?

I just hope I did you proud.

I'm so glad you came
back for this round,

because you showed America
how dope you really are.

Thank you so much.

This season, the magnitude
of the talent is just insane,

and we had no more steals left.

You did so good. Thank you.

You've worked with
people, gotten to know them,

watched them grow, and
then they're going home.

It makes it really
emotionally tough this season.

Coaches, let me remind you

Taylor is available to save.

Taylor, anything you'd
like to say to your coach?

I told myself that one day I
would get to work with you,

and I'm just so grateful.

Thank you, John. Pizza!

There it is!

The sound of a save!

This is crazy.

I don't think we've
ever had knockouts

with this level of
high-quality performances.

I'm so excited to see what
these artists do in the playoffs.

John Legend saves Taylor Deneen!
You're not going home!

Taylor is a really
special singer.

Her voice is so sweet.

But when she goes
for those big notes,

it's also really powerful.

John is my absolute.

I'm so happy. Me too.

We're gonna keep going.

We're going to
the playoffs, girl.

Playoffs!

She's good.

It's been mind-boggling how
much talent we've seen today.

I think that you could get a
lot of superstars out of this.

Definitely from Team Reba.

Hello. Here we go.

Here we go. What are
you gonna sing for us?

"hole in the bottle"
by Kelsea Ballerini.

Wow. Why did
you pick that song?

It's a sassy,
up-tempo, fun song.

It's gonna show another side
of me that they haven't seen yet.

And, you know, a dog
is a man's best friend,

but a wine is a
woman's best friend.

It gets you through the
wedding and the divorce.

Good answer.

♪ There's a hole in
the bottle of wine ♪

Wow. That's right.

Jordan... she's
got a great range.

And this song
shows her vocals off.

She's the most country
act I have on my team.

♪ There's a hole in the
bottle leakin' all this wine ♪

She's got great
tough-girl attitude.

It's fun to have
somebody totally different.

The world needs
to hear your voice.

I love a woman who's sassy.

You're a kick in the
butt. Thank you.

We need that sound.

We need that pure country
twang, kind of ""

It's just good.

♪ There's a hole in the
bottle leakin' all this wine ♪

♪ It's already empty and
it ain't even suppertime ♪

♪ Honey, no, I don't miss him ♪

♪ In fact, it slipped my mind ♪

♪ There's a hole in
the bottle of wine ♪

That's right! Whoo-hoo!

Yeah!

It's interesting that
you did a Kelsea song,

because she's like this, like,
little Barbie singing this song.

But when you did it, I
saw it in a whole new way.

Yeah. I don't
have a Barbie side.

Gwen, I'm wearing all
the pink I own right here.

Jordan, you're witty.
You're so talented.

The winner of this
knockout is Jordan.

Jordan stole the show.

She's mysterious. She's crafty.

You did it again. I'm her coach,

and I can't wait to
see what she does.

Love you, hon. Love you, too.

I have five incredible artists
going into the playoff rounds.

I'm so proud.

I'm going to playoffs!

Team Reba, baby! Whoo, whoo!

Still to come...

♪ Do you believe
in life after love? ♪

The artists give
everything they have

to advance to the playoffs...

It felt so moving to me.

And move our coaches to tears.

These two crying says it all.

And there's no
steals or saves left.

And later...
We've changed the rules.

Something that's never
been done on "The Voice."

Enjoy Dan + Shay. They
will be great mentors.

Ooh. I'm feeling, like... Yeah.

Mixed temperatures
on my body right now.

Yeah. No, that's the fan. Yeah.

It's really wild to be paired up

against two people
I really admire.

What?!

Wynonna... when I
walked into rehearsals

and I saw that Wynonna
Judd was our mega mentor,

I was floored.

Niall has been
raving about all you guys.

This is awesome. Julia: Yay!

Wynonna is obviously a legend.

Nice to meet you. Julia.

What's going on? How
are you? Shay. Nice to...

And then Dan + Shay are
people that I listen to all the time.

I got to tell you guys, I sang
one of your songs for my wife,

like, the first
song I ever sang.

It was a Dan + Shay
song. No way! No way!

It was just a big, emotional
experience all at once.

It was crazy. It is a
tremendous honor

that you are our mega
mentor. I'm mega.

You are mega. You
really are. Just saying.

It looks so good on my
résumé. Megamentor.

Exactly.

I'm gonna be singing
"Believe" by Cher.

When I had stripped the song
down and felt it in a real way,

I was like, "This
is incredible."

I wanted it to represent
me as the artist that I am,

almost as if I had
written the song myself.

Alright. Well, let's hear it.

♪ Do you believe

I was really taken back

by how much I actually
relate to this song.

I went through one
of the most beautiful

we tried to be together,

it was this push and pull.

both of us gave each other

was to let each other go. ♪

remind me of a young Joni.

Your interpretation of
this song was flawless.

Wow.

If I could give you
any bit of advice

when you go to the
big show, when it's...

When it's really
time to do it... Yeah.

Feel all the emotion,
take it in. Yeah.

Because when you're
feeling that in such a big way,

everybody watching will feel it.

was genuinely one of the
most awestruck moments

lying when he said

he's got some star

Wow. Thank you all so

It's my turn now.

Bro, you made me look soft.

After Alexa sung her song,

I was getting emotional,
so of course I'm nervous.

But as long as I'm able
to be proud of what I do,

I'm totally okay
with what happens.

The song that I picked
is "Unstoppable" by Sia.

Okay. Yes, yes.

needs to come into this with confidence,

knowing she can do
it, because she can.

I have one more thing to say...

Be on time, be kind, and
listen more and talk less.

I was not that girl,

and I had people
telling me those things.

The other stuff will be
harder for you than singing,

'cause you're so
good at singing.

So do well.

That's the best advice that
you could possibly ever get

right there. No.
I got that early.

Alright. Lennon.

It was wild to see both
Alexa and Julia perform.

That's an intimidating
thing to follow up.

So I need to step up and
show that I've got what it takes.

♪ This is "The Voice" ♪

Welcome back to the knockouts.

Lennon, you and Niall look
like you could be brothers, man.

Right?! I swear... I was
just gonna say that, yeah.

Thank you for making
that connection on TV

for everyone to know.
You're the American Niall.

- Couple of handsome dudes.
- Yeah! American Niall.

Thank you, man. Thank
you. Happy to be here. Yeah.

I've been full-time music
for a couple of years now,

and it's a hard thing.

So, I'm singing "I Won't
Give Up" by Jason Mraz.

When I think of the moments
that I feel the most alive,

it's always had something
to do with music or love. Sure.

♪ And even the
stars, they burn ♪

The lyrics in this song...
♪ Some even fall to the Earth ♪

definitely remind
me of my marriage.

They remind me of me
pursuing music, as well.

Before all this, I was
spending a lot of time

playing at hotels, dive
bars, hot-dog stands...

Any gigs that would have me.

And I'm not gonna give up.

♪ I won't give up on us ♪ Yeah.

I love Lennon so much... ♪
God knows I'm tough enough ♪

because his voice
is high and so unique,

and I think he's very special.

Come on.

Thank you, guys. You
have an incredible range.

Because my
voice is so different,

I didn't believe
in it fully, I think.

But I have enough proof
now to believe in it.

Dude, you're on "The
Voice." I know.

Yeah, man, come on.
You're here for a reason.

There were just a couple of
spots where you're looking off.

I think you were
kind of thinking about

the next note you
were gonna sing.

Yeah. But I just
want to feel that.

I want to feel the emotion.

I want to feel the
performance from you.

Just kind of relax a
little bit and try less,

because you're good
enough to try less

and have a better result.

You're trying to get it right.

You can either be right
or you can be loved.

I want you to be loved.

♪ And we've got a lot to learn ♪

Every day that I'm here,

I learn more about
how to be a better artist,

and so my mind has just shifted...

and I want to be
here more than anything.

I want to go as far as I can go.

You're such a blessing.

You're so adorable.

I want to just come
up and hug you.

Thank you. I love these people.

Yeah. You guys are
all awesome, man.

Niall has got his... his work cut
out for him. Yeah. He wasn't lying.

Niall, I don't know
what you were doing

pairing these
people together, man.

These are some of
the most talented artists

on the competition.
Congratulations.

You got your work
cut out for you, buddy.

I'm looking at you, Niall.

My God.

That was great, too.

Yeah!

I'm, like, crying right now.

I'm crying, too.

We just k*lled it.
We did it. We k*lled it.

Dear Lord.

Niall!

My gosh. He's crying.

I'm literally emotional. I
have tears in my eyes.

Niall, I don't know how
you're gonna do this.

Lookit... John's...
Literally has tears coming out of...

I'm literally crying.

Alexa, nobody does what
you just did anymore.

It's a singer-songwriter,
warm sound

where you're just
really, really into the lyric.

So it was just so
magical for me.

I loved it so much.

Thank you so much. Thank you.

And, Lennon, like,
you made us both cry.

It was so moving,
because it was done

so intentionally with the lyric.

There's no winner
for me. Thank you.

I'm so upset with you, Niall.

Lookit. He's still
crying.

Ever since I became a dad,

I definitely cry a lot
more than I used to.

Aww!
It's hitting me more...

My God. I love
you so much right now.

So, Lennon,

I thought of you as,
like, the underdog.

I... Excuse me.

Aww!

My God.

I just felt you, like,
being, like, fully yourself,

and it felt so moving to me.

I don't know why I keep crying.

I can't stop.

Reba's the mama bear.

I knew Reba would have some.

Always prepared.

It felt so passionate
and so moving,

and it really just got me.

Um. I'm recovering now.

Alexa, it was such a cool
choice picking that song,

and you ex*cuted
it so flawlessly.

It was perfect. Perfectly
done. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you,
John.

Julia, I was just stunned
by what you just did.

It was such a revelation.

A performance like that,
you can win "The Voice."

Julia, at 13 years old,

I was singing in barrooms,
h*nky-tonks, rodeos,

any place we could.

If I could have
done what you did,

I might have been playing a
bigger bar or a bigger rodeo.

You've done okay
in your career, Reba.

I'd have gotten out
of there a lot quicker.

And, Lennon, I hope you realize

that that's the
biggest compliment

another artist could give
you is to sit there and cry,

because you touched
John to his core.

Thank you, coaches.

Niall, you got a
big decision, buddy.

I... I just can't believe
what just happened.

It's honestly my favorite
moment on "The Voice."

These two crying says it all.

And there's no steals
or saves left... Yeah.

Which makes this...

I don't even have words for it.

I can't help you, Niall. Sorry.

Niall, who is the
winner of this knockout?

The winner of this
knockout is Alexa.

Alexa!

Alexa is the most
mind-blowing moment

I've ever had on this show.

A stunned Alexa!

I chose Alexa as the
winner... Thank you so much.

Because she is a
one-in-a-million talent.

She could potentially win this.

Julia, anything you want
to say to your coach?

Yeah. I'm... I'm just so
grateful to work with you.

And I know that I'm
just gonna continue on.

Give it up for Julia Roome,
ladies and gentlemen!

It's okay. I'm so sorry.

You keep going, okay? Yes.

Keep in touch with
me, please. Yes.

Come on down, Lennon.

Anything you want
to say to Niall?

I'm thankful for
every second we got to spend

and for all the
love and support.

I can feel it. You're
an incredible talent.

You keep... Keep going, man.

Give it up one more time
for Lennon VanderDoes!

I'm so sorry.

That knockout performance

from all three of
them was insane.

I've never felt emotion like it.

And that's exactly
what this show is about.

That was so good. I
felt your pain, my friend.

I was not expecting that.

I'm so impressed. The
knockouts have been crazy.

You seemed particularly moved.

When Lennon hit those notes,
I was moved to tears. Right.

Well, something's happening
this particular season.

The artists are getting
better and better.

The blinds, we've had
more four-chair turns

than we ever had. Yes.

The knockouts, we've
never seen anything like it.

So we've changed the rules.

We've had to do
something rather drastic...

Yeah.

Something that's never been done

in 24 seasons on "The Voice."

Hello? Remember
me from "The Voice"?

There's been a little new twist.

I was so in love with
your performance.

Would you like to come
back to "The Voice"?
