Hey, everybody, and welcome to
another great "Voice" recap.

I'm Carson Daly.

You know, it's a night

of brand-new
Season 27 knockouts.

But before more talented artists
take the stage,

exactly one hour from now,

we're gonna get you guys caught
up on the knockouts premiere.

We'll kick things off with
this show-stopping matchup.

[ Cheers and applause ]

**

* It's undeniable *

* That we should be together *

* Mm *

* It's unbelievable *

* How I used to say
that I'd fall never *

* The basis is need-to-know *

* If you don't know
just how I feel *

* Then let me show you now
that I'm for real *

Yes, BD.ii!

* If all things in time,
time will reveal *

* Yeah, yeah, yeah *

* One *
* You're like a dream
come true *

* Two *

* Just wanna be with you *

* Three *

* Girl, it's plain to see *

* That you're the only one
for me, and *

* Four *

* Repeat steps one
through three *

* Five *
* I'll make you fall
in love with me *

* If ever I believe
my work is done *

* Then I'll start back at one *

* Yeah, yeah *

* You came and breathed new life
into this lonely heart of mine *

* You threw out a lifeline *

* Just in the nick of
tiii-iiiiime *

* Repeat steps one
through three, girl *

* Five *
* I'll make you fall
in love with me *

* If ever I believe
my work is done *

* Then I'll start back at one *

* Oh, yeah, yeah *

* If ever I believe
my work is done *
Ooh!

* I'll start back at *

* Ooooooone *

[ Cheers and applause ]
Yeah!

Whoa!

Beautiful!
Right off the top too, man.

**

* Lately, I've had *

* The strangest feeling *
Ooh!

Wow.

* With no vivid reason here
to find *

* Yet the thought of
losing you's been hanging *

* Around my mind *

Wow.
* Ohhhh *

* I'm a man of many wishes *

* Hope my premonition misses *

* But what I really feel *

* My eyes won't let me hide *

* 'Cause they always start to *

* To cry *

* Ohh, ohh *

* And this time could mean *

* Goodbyyyyye *

* I'm a man of many wishes *

* Hope my premonition misses *

* But what I really feel *

* My eyes won't let me hide *

* 'Cause they always start *

* To cry *

Yes, they do.
* Ohhhhh *

* And this time could mean
good... *

* Goodbyyyyye *

Beautiful!

[ Cheers and applause ]

Good job, fellas.

Hi, guys. Damn.

Damn, damn, damn.
Damn, damn, damn.

That's quite a way
to start it off.

BD.ii, I was so just transfixed
your whole performance.

Obviously, a great song,
but you kind of, like,

gave it a little bit
of a kick in the...ass.

[ Laughter ]
Thank you, man.

I dunno if I can say ass
on TV,

but I'm saying ass.

Hey!
Kolby's this,
like, discovery.

I love your rasp,
but it felt like there was

a little bit of strain
in there from being tired.

But I could feel
how you were managing it,

and you did
an incredible job.

Kelsea: BD.ii, what I loved
about what you picked,

it let you lean back
into it a bit more to,

like, show some more
of the swag and the tone

and like the cool elements
to your voice.

Kolby, your tone reminds me
of John Legend.

It's like that warmth
and that smokiness

on, like, your open vowels.

I was like, there's
a little Legend in there.

BD.ii,
I love the song choice.

I thought it was
far more emotional

than you've been before.

I love how you played with it
and made it yours.

Kolby, if that's you tired,

then I'm getting three hours
of sleep tomorrow.

I don't know
that it sounded tired to me.

I think maybe you were just
gifted with an incredible voice

that has that rasp.
You told that story beautifully.

Thank you so much.

Alright, John, of course,
it all comes down to you.

Give us some thoughts
on the knockout first.

John: Kolby.
Yeah, man!

You got that raspy voice,
and it's soulful.

It's been lived in,
it has a story to tell.

BD.ii, you just sounded like
you belong on this stage,

and on bigger stages,
so it was fantastic.

John, it's time to find out
who won this knockout.

[ Dramatic music plays ]

**

The winner
of this knockout

is BD.ii.

BD.ii, congratulations!

John: I picked BD.ii
because he's soulful,

he's got great control,

and has shown himself to be
one of our best vocalists.

Did what you had to do.
Let's go!

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

We've got a steal!

We've got another steal!
So fast!

Two steals immediately!

Let's go!

Are you kidding me?

[ Cheers and applause ]

Daly: Adam,
talk to us, Coach.

Kolby, you've done nothing but
get better and better.

And I also want to clarify
about your rasp --

It was just
an observation.

Yeah, walk it back,
Levine.

Walk it back.
Ha ha!

Shut up.
Come on, dude, let's go.

I love it.
Mom and Dad
are fighting.

Am I Mom?
Yeah.

We want
to keep the rasp.

We just want to make it
easy for you to do.

And I had a vision --
"You and I," Stevie Wonder.

I feel like that would be
an amazing song

for you to do.
Great song.

Anyway, I'm gonna
shut up for now.

Thank you, thank you,
thank you.

Daly:
Clearly not a criticism.

You have one steal in

this knockout round and
you're using it on Kolby.

Did Adam pay
Carson Daly?

Yeah, Carson.
What's up, man?

I'm just stating
the obvious.

We got a long
history, alright?!

They started this show
together. They did.

Michael Bublé,
you are also trying

to use your
one and only steal.

Talk to us.
Yes, that's right, Carson.

Thank you for advocating for me,
Carson Daly.

Hey, Kolby.
Obviously, Adam Levine

has been here
for 43 years.

Go on.
And this is a champion
of "The Voice."

This is a guy who's --
I was born right here
on "The Voice."

Anyway, Kolby, look.

In this whole thing,
I want to get to know you,

and that helps me to understand
who you want to be

as an artist and how
I can advocate for you.

However that is,
I'd love for you

to choose me.
You're great.

Alright. You've heard
from our coaches, Kolby.

Who do you pick
as your coach?

[ Laughing ]

They need to duel.

I appreciate everything that
all of you guys have said.

[ Audience shouting ]

And we're gonna
go ahead and, uh...

We're gonna go ahead
and move forward with Adam.

Daly: Team Adam!

Adam: Kolby's voice has got
a warmth and a power.

Ability, soul, grit.

But I kind of felt like

we haven't seen
the best from him yet.

Good way to start the show.

Coming up, a look back

at more incredible
performances.

Plus, a brand-new episode
of the knockouts

is just around the corner.

This is the "Voice" recap
here on NBC.

Stay with us.

* This is "The Voice" *

Welcome back
to our "Voice" recap.

Later tonight, more talented
artists will take the stage

for their knockouts.

But first, we're recapping
the knockouts premiere.

Let's continue with these
next two incredible artists.

**

Love this song forever.

* Now here you go again *

* You say you want
your freedom *

* Well, who am I
to keep you down? *

Whoo!

* It's only right
that you should *

* Play the way you feel it *

* But listen carefully
to the sound *

* Of your loneliness *

* Like a heartbeat
drives you mad *

* The stillness of remembering *

* What you had *

* And what you lost *

* And what you had *

* And what you lost *

* Oh, thunder only happens
when it's raining *

* Players only love you
when they're playing *

* Said women, they will come
and they will go *

* When the rain washes
you clean, you'll know *

* You will know *

* You will know *

* Oh, oh, oh, you'll know *

[ Cheers and applause ]

Yeah, Grace-Miller!

You got this.

[ Cheers and applause ]

**

* I never met you,
but I wanted *

* To invite you to the party *

* Then you walked in
with those green eyes *

* Never stolen by nobody *

* And they flicker
to the future *

* For a moment,
I could picture *

* Then you touch me
and I come back *

* And we're talking on the bed *

* About your big dreams
on the big screens *

* Out of Georgia,
now you're lonely in this city *

* Lying with me *

* And you're scared
it's moving quickly *

* Oh, now you're crying,
you're in pieces *

* 'Cause the only love
you've ever known is Jesus *

* I can feel it *

* And I hate that
I'm the reason *

* That you're in your head
right now *

Sing, girl.

* While your world
is spinning out *

* So slow it down *

* Take a moment now *

* We're too young to drown *

* Deep in dirty waters
full of hopeless doubt *

* Let me pull you out *

* Let me hold you now *

* Let me slow it down *

Whoo!

* Slow it down *

* When you're on the ground *

* And you're crying *

* I'm trying *
Wow!

* To slow it down *

* When you're spinning 'round *

* In your head *

* Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh *

Yeah!

* I'll help you *

* Slow it down *

[ Cheers and applause ]

**

Kelsea: Lucia,
I want to start with you.

You demanded attention.

You kind of remind me
a bit of like

a modern-day Amy Winehouse.

Thank you.
[ Both laugh ]

Grace-Miller,
I'm so partial to "Dreams."

I cover it on the road
right now, still.

Like, Stevie Nicks -- queen.

There was the perfect amount
of female rage

that you entered
into that performance.

Michael: Grace-Miller,
as you got into the song,

the further you went,
the more I enjoyed it,

the more open your voice got.

Great job with a great song.
Thank you.

Lucia, there's something
that you do with your voice,

and both John and I do it.

Say with your song,
instead of...

* All of me *

We tighten up our voice...
Mm-hmm.

...and our vibrato gets
a little thicker, and we go,

* All of me *
[ Snapping fingers ]

There's this mix
of jazz and R&B.

You do this naturally.

Grace-Miller, I love how much
clarity your voice has.

It just cuts through
all the noise.

And, Lucia, you know,

Michael talked
about your vibrato,

and I really thought you used it
in the right moments.

I love that low part
of your voice.

It was so beautiful.

Daly: Thank you, Coaches.
Alright, Adam.

It all comes down to you.

Before we find out the winner,
what did you think?

Grace-Miller,
you did a great job.

There's a way that
your voice cuts

that's really special
and really yours.

And then, Lucia,
you sound different.

If your voice
comes on the radio,

everyone's gonna know
what that is.

That's a very
special thing.

Alright, Adam, who is
the winner of this knockout?

Thought you'd never ask.

Ha!

[ Dramatic music plays ]

The winner
of this knockout...

...is Lucia.

Lucia, congratulations!

Had to go with Lucia
just because Lucia is

unlike anybody that's ever
been in this competition.

I would love her
to be a finalist.

I love her.
Kelsea: I do too.

Got a good team,
Adam Levine. Got a good team.

Don't tell Kelsea Ballerini
my team is the best team.

She'll be really sad
and she'll cry.

[ Laughter ]

* This is "The Voice" *

Welcome back.
In just a few minutes,

it's a brand-new episode
of "The Voice."

But first,
let's take a look back

at the knockouts premiere.

These next artists gave it
everything they've got

to move on in the competition.

[ Cheers and applause ]

**

* Doesn't take much
to make me happy *

* And make me smile with glee *

* Never, never would
I feel discouraged *

* 'Cause our love's no mystery *

* Demonstrating *

* Love and affection *
Whoo!

* That you give so openly,
yeah *

* I like the way you make me
feel about you, baby *

* And I want the whole
wide world to see *

* Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa *

* You got my love *

* You got the best of my love *

* Best of my love *

* My love *

* My love *

* You got the best of my love *

* Goin' in and out of changes *

Yeah!
* Kind that come around
each day *

* My life has a better meaning *

* Love has kissed me
in a beautiful way *

Wow!

* Ohhhh, ohhhh *

* My love *

* My love *

* Ohhhhh, my love *

* Growing every day *

* Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohh, ohhhhh *

* Oh, oh *

* Oh, oh, oh-ohhh *

* You got the best of my love *

* Oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhh *

* You got it, you got it *

* You got the best of my love *

* Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh *

* Ooooh *

* Giving you the best of my *

* Looooooove *

[ Cheers and applause ]

[ Cheers and applause continue ]

Sparkle, Dan.

**

* I remember years ago *

* Someone told me
I should take *

* Caution when it comes
to love *

* I did *

* And you were strong
and I was not *

* My illusion, my mistake *

* I was careless, I forgot *

* I did *

* And now *

* When all is done,
there is nothing to say *

* You have gone
and so effortlessly *

* You have won,
you can go ahead, tell them *

* Tell them I was happy *

* And my heart is broken *

* All my scars are open *

* Tell them
what I hoped would be *

* Impossible *

* Impossible *

* Impossible *

* Impossible *

* I remember years ago *

* Someone told me
I should take *

* Caution when it comes
to love *

* I did *

* Tell them all I know now *

* Shout it from the rooftops *

* Write it on the skyline *

* All we had is gone *
Whoo!

* Impossible *

* Impossible *

* Impo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-ssible *

* Impo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-ssible *

[ Cheers and applause ]

Yeah, baby.

Give it up for Dan
and Tinika.
Whoo!

Oh, that was so much fun,
both of you.

Dan, you were like
two different people.

You went from Bruce Banner,
so composed,

then you turned into
the Incredible Hulk.

[ Laughter ]

Surprise!

And I was like,
"Go, Hulk, go!"

Tinika, when I hear music,
I hear the voice of God.

And, man, if I didn't feel the
Holy Spirit ripping through me.

Yes.
John: Amen!

Amen, Tinika.

Thank you.

Dan, it feels like you have
a higher purpose

when you're performing.

And I love the intention

that I felt in every note
that you sang.

Tinika, you just are up there
singing your butt off,

like, your face off,
all the things off.

I especially love
that rasp in your voice.

It just sounds cool
and sexy and confident.

Hey!

Daly: Thank you, coaches.

Kelsea,
it all comes down to you.

Before we find out
the winner,

give us some thoughts
on the knockout.

Dan, the one moment that broke
me was when your voice broke.

It was just beautiful
and it was human.

And I just adore you.
Thanks.

Tinika, I think it is one
of the greatest joys

of me being a coach to be able
to be in your presence, period.

Thank you.

All I want
as a fan of you

is for you to come
out here and sing.

Amen.
Kelsea, who is the winner
of this knockout?

[ Dramatic music plays ]

This...

is very hard for me.

I want to honor
what happened today.

The winner is Tinika.

Daly: Tinika.

Tinika's performance
was flawless.

She's connected to herself,
that strength, that womanhood.

And I want to make sure
that everyone

gets a chance
to really see that.

* This is "The Voice" *

Welcome back
to our "Voice" recap.

Brand-new knockouts
are on the way tonight,

but first, we're revisiting
an outstanding matchup

from the knockouts premiere.

[ Cheers and applause ]

**

* It's not simple to say *

* Most days *

* I don't recognize me *

* Although it's true,
I was never *

* Attention's sweet center *

* I still remember that girl *

* She's imperfect *

* But she tries *

* She is good *

* But she lies *

* She is hard on herself *

* She is broken *

* And won't ask for help *

* She'll be scared *

* Of the life
that's inside her *

* Growing stronger each day *

* Till it finally reminds her *

* To fight just a little *

* To bring back the fire
in her eyes *

* That's been gone *

* But used to be mine *

* Ohhhhhh *

* She used to be
mi-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-ne *

* She is messy *

* But she's kind *

* She is lonely *

* Most of the time *

* She is all of this mixed up *

* And baked in a beautiful pie *

* She is gone *

* But she used to be *

* Mi-i-i-i-i-i-i-ne *

[ Cheers and applause ]
Wow. Beautiful.

[ Cheers and applause continue ]

**

Oh, yeah!

* I'm not surprised,
not everything lasts *

* I've broken my heart
so many times *

* I stopped keeping track *

* Talk myself in,
I talk myself out *

* I get all worked up,
then I let myself down *

* I tried so very hard
not to lose it *

* I came up with
a million excuses *

* I thought I thought
of every possibility *

* Mmm *

* And I know someday
that it'll all turn out *

* You'll make me work
so we can work to work it out *

* And I promise you, kid *

* I'll give so much more
than I get *

* Yeah, I just haven't
met you yet *

* They say all's fair *

* In love and war *

* But I won't need to fight it *

* We'll get it right
and we'll be united *

* And someday I know
that it'll all turn out *

* And I'll work to work it out *

* Promise you, kid *

* I'll give more than I get *
* More than I get * Unh!

* Than I get, than I get,
than I get *

* Oh, you know
it'll all turn out *

* And you'll make me work
so we can work to work it out *

* And I promise you, kid *

* That I'll give so much more
than I get *

* Yeah, I just haven't
met you yet *

* Love, love, love,
love, love, love *
* Mm-mm mmmm mm *

* I just haven't met you yet *

[ Cheers and applause ]

Yes.

Barry Jean, I can't imagine
what it feels like

singing that song to your coach,

who also happens to be
the one who wrote it.

That elephant in the room.
Yeah, and made it
a massive hit.

So, just, like...
Yeah.

...that's a huge just mountain
that you climbed.

And I think, Simone,
you have a bit of, like,

a musical theater quality
to your voice.

If you have a voice like that

and you're not singing
a theater song,

it can sometimes lean
a little too dramatic.

And I feel like you walked
that line so delicately.

I'm gonna start with you,
Barry.

We know you got
this great voice.

I want you
to kind of let go.

And I think if you did,

you could unleash this other
version of yourself

that's like Barry 2.0.

Simone,
great performance.

It was really emotional.

It was awesome.
You were so connected.

Thank you.
Daly: Thank you, coaches.

Alright, Michael,
tough decision coming up.

Before you tell us who won,

give us your thoughts
on the knockout.

Simone, my Croatian sister
from another mister,

that little change when you
get into your head voice

and you sort of bounce
into that falsetto

is so pretty
and so effortless.

Barry, I love when
people sing my songs.

[ Laughter ]

Because it is a huge tribute.

Listen, I love you, kid.
You did a great job.

And you are so likable,
lovable, and huggable.

[ Laughs ]
Thank you.

Alright, Michael.
Tough decision here, buddy.

I'm just gonna
say stupid stuff

so I don't have to
make a decision.

John, do you like stuff?

I'm a big fan of stuff.

Oh, stuff and things
are so cool.

Michael Bublé.
Yes?

Focus.
Hi, Carson.

Who is the winner
of this knockout?

[ Dramatic music plays ]

The -- The winner
of this knockout is...

...is Barry.

Daly:
Barry, congratulations!

Michael:
The reason I went with Barry,

there's something he has
that you can't teach.

Barry is raw.

I don't know if Barry knows
who he is, but you know what?

That's why I'm here.

* This is "The Voice" *

Welcome back.
Don't miss a brand-new
episode of knockouts tonight.

That's just minutes away.
But before that,

more artists compete
on the stage.

We're gonna take a look back
at another highlight.

[ Cheers and applause ]

**

* No, I won't back down *

* No, I won't back down *

Yes.

* You could stand me up
at the gates of hell *

* But I won't back down *

* No, I'll stand my ground *

Whoo!
Yes.

* I won't be turned around *

* And I'll keep this world
from draggin' me down *

* Gonna stand my ground *

* And I won't back down *

* Hey, baby *

Yeah, cool.

* There ain't no easy way out *

* Hey, I *

* I will stand my ground *

* And I won't back down *

* 'Cause I know what's right *

* I got just one life *

* In a world that keeps on
pushin' me around *

* Well, I'll stand my ground *

* And I won't back down *

[ Cheers and applause ]

John: Beautiful.

Beautiful, Ethan.

Well done.
Well done.

[ Laughs ]

Let's go, Trevon.

**

* I was raised
off of Rural Route 3 *

* Out past where
the blacktop ends *

* We'd walked to church
on Sunday morning *

* Race barefoot back
to Johnson's fence *

* And that's where
I first saw Mary *

Hey!
* On that roadside,
pickin' blackberries *

* That summer I turned a corner
in my soul *

* Down that red dirt road *

* It's where I drank
my first beer *

* That's where I found Jesus *

* Where I wrecked my first car *

* I tore it all to pieces *

* I've learned, yes,
I've come to know *

* There's life at both ends *

* Of that red dirt road *

Whoo!

* And that's where
I drank my first beer *

* That's where I found Jesus *

* Where I wrecked my first car *

* I tore it all to pieces *

* Yes, I've come to know *

* There's life at both ends *

* Yes, I've learned,
I've come to know *

* There's life at both ends *

* Of that red dirt road *

* That red dirt road *

[ Cheers and applause ]

**

Yeah.

All right.
Kelsea: Nice job.

He was awesome.

Trevon, first, I just want
to take a second for the --

* Yeah, I've lear-r-r-ned *

[ Laughter ]

* Yes,
I've lear-r-r-ned *

That run is so yummy country.

It made my heart so happy.
I'm homesick.

Thank you.
Yummy country.

Ethan, I heard some things
that were not perfect in that,

and it made me buy in
so much harder.

You're in your own world,
and I believe you.

Thank you.

Ethan, I think your
interpretation is beautiful.

It shows your artistry.

I love that you're different.
Thank you.

Trevon, you remind me
of me, man.

I remember I was 16,
17 years old.

I was working nightclubs,

and there was a lot
of youthful exuberance.

It's like a puppy, you know?

But sometimes we have to learn

to focus all of that energy
and harness it.

By the time you're 21 years old,
kid, it's just gonna be scary.

Trevon, I absolutely love
that crackle in your voice.

And I hope you never lose that.

Thank you very much,
John.

Ethan, I love the tone.
You're like a male songbird.

It was a very
endearing performance.

Daly: Thank you, coaches.
Thank you.

[ Indistinct talking ]
Alright, Adam,

before we find out the winner,
what'd you think?

Adam: Trevon, what was great
about today

was for the first time
since I've known you,

you acted 17,
which is awesome.

I still --
Look how I dress.

[ Laughter ]

Look at these grown-ups,
and look what I'm wearing.

Seeing that in you
was great, man.

You kicked ass today.

Thank you very much.

And then, Ethan,
when you sing,

you really capture people
and you take them with you.

I'm really, really proud
of the both of you.

And I want you guys
to know that.
Thank you.

Daly: Adam, tough decision.

Who is the winner
of this knockout?

[ Dramatic music plays ]

The winner
of this knockout...

is Ethan.

Daly: Congratulations!

Adam: Ethan just has the heart
of a folk singer.

He can kind of sing anything.

He has his own attack on it,
which is really, really cool.

Great job.
I think I know what he
wants to accomplish.

Next, a look back at another
incredible knockout pairing,

plus a brand-new episode.

This is the "Voice" recap
here on NBC.

* This is "The Voice" *

Welcome back
to our "Voice" recap.

We're coming up
on a brand-new knockout episode.

But first, let's revisit
these two performances.

**

* Cocaine flame
in my bloodstream *

* Sold my coat
when I hit Spokane *

* Bought myself
a hard pack of cigarettes *

* In the early morning rain *

* Lately, my hands,
they don't feel like mine *

* My eyes been stung with dust,
I'm blind *

* Held you in my arms one time *

* And lost you just the same *

* Jolene *

* I ain't about to go straight *

* It's too late *

* I found myself face down
in the ditch *

* Booze in my hair,
blood on my lips *

* A picture of you
holding a picture of me *

* In the pocket
of my blue jeans *

* Still don't know
what love me-e-e-e-e-e-ans *

* Still don't know
what love me-e-e-e-ans *

* Oh, Jolene *

* La, la, la, la, la, la, la *

* Jolene *

* Sha la, la, la, la, la, la *

* Jolene *

* La, la, la, la, la, la, la *

* Jole-e-e-e-e-e-e-ne *

* Uhhh *

[ Cheers and applause ]

Whoo!

[ Cheers and applause continue ]

**

* They came in
thinkin' top dollar *

* To that old
cotton crop farmer *

* They knocked on his
screen door, and he said *

* "Lord, what you need, boys, "
and they said *

* "You know all the others
went and cashed out *

* We got the subdivision
all mapped out *

* It'll sit right here
on this land *

* And you can leave town
a rich man" *

* And he said, "Boys,
whatever you're offerin' *

* It won't be enough *

Alright.

* 'Cause I got *

* A little girl that used to
swing right there *

* I still see her pink bow
in her brown hair *

* She's in the big city,
but she still calls home *

* What's she gonna do if she
comes back and we're gone? *

* And over there,
under that wide oak tree *

* Beneath the cross is where
my best buddy's buried *

* Lasted thirteen huntin'
seasons runnin' strong *

* Keep your money 'cause a man
can't leave his dog *

* And over there is where
I got down on one knee *

* You can't buy *

* That kind of dirt *

* I guess this's why
she said, 'Yes' *

* When I got down on one knee *

* Oh, as long
as all this is here *

* Why the hell would I ever *

* Le-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-ave? *

* 'Cause you can't buy *

* That kind of dirt *

* Cheap" *

[ Cheers and applause ]

That was beautiful.
Thank you.

[ Indistinct talking ]

It was very sweet not only
watching each of you perform,

but watching each of you
watch each other.

You guys kind of like
each other, huh?

Yeah, we're friends.

That's called girlhood.

Just like you and me.

I'm telling you right now,

no matter what happens
after this,

Kelsea Ballerini and I
are gonna go out

in the same kind of boots.

Best friends forever.

Best friends.
Yes!

Angie, you have
this wonderful, rich depth.

It's so soulful.

Thank you.
I felt like any great actor,

you were believing
what you were saying.

You get an Academy Award
for that.
Academy Award.

Iris, you have
such a unique voice.

Sometimes it's hard to
believe you're 19 years old.

I apologize
for crying.
Is that what it was?

This is a touchy song for me,
so I was a little emotional.

Good. Be emotional.

Thank you.
Thank you.
That's strength.

John: I've gotten emotional
when I've performed.

Like, sometimes, you know,
you miss a note or two,

but I find you such a compelling
singer and performer.

And, Angie, I was getting, like,
a gospel energy.

The way you carried yourself,

it felt very, like
centered and spiritual.

Thank you.
Adam: So congrats.

Daly: Thank you, coaches.
Yeah.

Alright, Kels,
tough decision coming up.

Iris, your voice,
it's so unique,

and it's so gritty
and lived in and beautiful.

And it's a storyteller voice.
Thank you.

Angie.

Okay, so when you
picked this song, I --

I'm gonna cry again on TV.
I know.

Oh, no. Clearly.

You just cry,
and we all cry.

And it doesn't mean
you're not graceful.

And you're
a great coach.

Thank you for saying that.

You should see me cry.
It's like [Imitates sobbing]

I've seen him cry.
Yes.

No one wants to see that.
My voices takes a bad turn
when I cry.

The world's not ready for that.
Yeah.

You were just so lovely.

And I really appreciated you

kind of reining back
a little bit

and showing more of that
storytelling side of your voice.

Kels, this is
a tough decision here.

I hate this.

Who is the winner
of this knockout?

Oh. Brutal.

Can someone
do it for me?

Yes.
The winner --

[ Dramatic music plays ]

The winner of this knockout
is Iris.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Iris, congratulations!

Kelsea: I was very proud
of both of them.

Iris just feels farther along
in her vocal journey.

Watching her get vulnerable,
get emotional

was the reason
that I picked Iris.

I already have some song ideas
in my head for the playoffs

of how to really
lean into that grit

and that, like --
whatever this word is.

Like, that's what she is.
That's her voice.

Daly:
Coaches, let me remind you
that Angie's available to steal.
John: Oh.

Give it up
for Angie Rey.

I appreciate you so much.
I really, really do.

Thank you guys.
Bye.

Daly: Hold everything!

We've got a last-minute steal!

Not like you didn't have to
make her sweat.

She was like --
Yeah, no kidding. Me too.

I wanted her to be able
to hug her coach...

Cruel.
...before she came to win
the show with her new coach.

[ Cheers and applause ]

I stole Angie because she's
a modern country artist.

She fills that country void
on my team.

And there's no ending
to where this woman can go.

I'm gonna go fix my face, so...
Oh, my God.

That's why I tattoo
my mascara on.

Ah.
