Chance, what's happening?
What's up, bro?

How you doing?
What's going on?
Hey!

How are you?

Carson, long time no see.

Hey!

He left me.
I don't know where he is.

I guess John and I
are gonna start a duo now.

Hmm.
Dan + John.

That kind of
has a ring to it.

There you are!
Where have you been?

Did you miss me?
I missed you.

We're going in to work today.
Can't wait!

Daly: Give it up
for your Season 25 coaches --

John Legend, Dan + Shay,

Chance the Rapper,
and Reba McEntire!

[ Cheers and applause ]

Here it is!

**

Yoo-hoo!

Daly: We're gonna
get to more knockouts.

Let's chat
with the coaches here.

Chance the Rapper's
in the building!

Reba, this is your second
knockouts now.

What did you learn
from the first time around

that you can apply now?

It's very competitive,
it's very tough,

and it gets
very emotional.

And I see that John's
got on his stealing jacket.

It was specifically made
to intimidate me.

And honestly,
it's working a little bit.

Ah, come on!

Thank you, Coaches.
Let's get to it.

Keith: I love this part.

I love that they get to choose
their own songs.
Yeah.

A lot of people
that come on the show,

like, their whole lives
have been,

"I can't wait to be
on 'The Voice.'"

And then they're on, and they're
taking all this advice,

but really, it's their moment
to shine and sing the song

that they've been singing in
the mirror their whole lives,

on national television.
Totally.

Next up, we've got Kamalei
and Maddi.

Kamalei sang "Redemption Song."

I'd never heard a song that's
so radical sound so peaceful.

Maddi, on the other hand,
she did, like, a rap at the end.

So, she has this diva energy.

But they're probably two of
my strongest people on my team.

Let's meet them.

Hey!
Hello!

What it do?

Whoa!
What's up?

Hi!

What?!
Come on in.

Oh, my God!

When I saw Keith Urban,
I was just blown away.

Aloha!
Aloha!

I'm a huge Keith Urban fan,

so I was just ready
to work with him

and so excited
to hear his feedback.

What song
are you singing today?

I'm singing "All of Me."

By John Legend?
Oh, my gosh.

I'm his nemesis.
This is crazy.

I was hoping
you wouldn't say that.
It's the wrong team!

No, John Legend is my biggest
inspiration in the world.

I just keep joking
about him being my nemesis.

I love John.
Why did you choose
"All of Me"?

It takes me home to my wife.

I love her.
I miss her.

So, this is, like,
my little gift to her.

* What I do without... *

The song means a lot to me

because this was the first song
that I sang for my wife.

* 'Cause all of me *

Cierra and I
went to high school together.

* Loves all of you *

She took a young,
immature boy,

and she turned him into a man.

She changed the whole path
of my life.

She pushed me to pursue music.

And if I didn't meet her
10 years ago,

I wouldn't be here.

So, doing this song

allows me to say
thank you to her.

* 'Cause I give you all... *

I feel drawn
to soulful type of music.

And I feel like this song
is a good representation

of who I want to be
as an artist.

* Oh *
Incredible.

When you sing a song,

it's your song
and the lyrics in that moment.

To hear a John song
not sound like John

is a huge feat.

Oh, that means a lot.
Thank you.

I'm a guitar player,
so it's been a little challenge

figuring out what to do
with my hands.

Several places
you can always put your hands.

On the mic.
One on the stand.

You could put them
in your pockets,

but I did not notice
your hands one time.

That song is so suited
to you.

The only thing is, I would
rein it in just a little bit.

Like, when you start the song,

you could be even
a little more tender,

and you're going to pull me in
with your voice and your heart,

'cause it's completely one.
Thank you.

Kamalei, there's a vulnerability
about him,

but also a nice spiritual,
calming energy

about him, as well.

Alright, Maddi.

You know how I get, man.

Let's see -- Let's see --
Let's see it.
Maddi: Yes! Yes!

I think Kamalei is amazing.

It was like every note
was perfect.

It definitely lit a fire in me

to continue on
in this competition.

So, today, I'm gonna be singing
"New Rules" by Dua Lipa.

Oh, nice.

* Talkin' in my sleep at night *

I chose this song

because Dua Lipa brings
a lot of energy.

* One,
don't pick up the phone *

It's a song
that everyone can dance to.

I definitely want to be pop.

I want to bring the party.
I also love telling stories.

So, I'm very interested in rap.

* But I've been still
trying to work it *

You said it.
I told you!

* Yeah, I eat, sleep,
and breathe it *

* Rehearse and repeat it *

My little sister
loves this song,

and I know that it's
inspired a lot of women

to keep their standards high.

My little sister's name is Mia.

We've grown up doing theater

and so many activities together.

She's out here pursuing music
with me now,

and having family close to me

while I'm going through
something like this

has been such a huge blessing.

* You ain't gettin' over him *

You're so explosive, ma'am.
Aww, thanks.

I brought you on the show 'cause
I liked the rap that you did.

But when we did the battles,
you really surprised me

with your vocal ability.
Mm-hmm.

There's a part --
there's a bridge that you do...

* Practice makes perfect,
I'm still tryna learn it *

Do you like singing that part,
or you wanted to rap that part?

I think that my rapping
needs work.

It is a singing song.
Like, why not sing it?

You know what I mean?
Yeah, for sure.
Yeah.

Hey, I would also add,

the first time
you hit the [Vocalizes]

I would hold that longer.
Yeah. Okay.

'Cause it's the first time
we've heard that range,

really, from you.
Mm-hmm.

And it's just too good
a moment that you're sort of

pulling the rug out
from under it too quick.

Yeah, absolutely.

* You ain't gettin' over him *

Chance: Maddi, she's got
that energy, that charisma

that you immediately recognize
as star power when you see it.

* Whoo! *
Chance: She's a good singer.
She loves rap.

She's got great rhythm.
She's got great melody.

She's gonna kill it.

You're a star, man.
Yeah.

Well, you guys are
both huge inspirations.

Thanks, Maddi.
Thank you.

Kamalei, can you come up, too?
Yeah, for sure.

The scary part for me is that

I don't have a playoff pass
for this round.

It's really gonna come down
to who's really pushing it.

I would sing, like,
"Even if Chance doesn't pick me,

one of the other coaches
would be stupid

not to steal me."

You're both bringing
equal strengths.

They're different
from one another.

It's gonna be a great night
for both of you, I think.

Thank you so much.
Thank you.

Kamalei, Maddi,
both, like, top tier.

Best all-time
Team Chance talent.

I really don't know
what I'm gonna do.

We killed it.
Great job.

Keith: That was fantastic.

It's gonna be tough
to make these decision.

Brutal.
Yeah.

John: Go, Maddi Jane!

[ Cheers and applause ]

Now singing "New Rules,"
here is Maddi Jane.

**

* Talkin' in my sleep at night *

* Makin' myself crazy *

* Out of my mind *

* Out of my mind *

* My love *

* He makes me feel
like nobody else *

Yes!
* Nobody else *

* But my love,
he doesn't love me *

* So I tell myself *

* I tell myself *

* One, don't pick up the phone *

* You know he's only calling
'cause he's drunk and alone *

* Two, don't let him in *

* You'll have to
kick him out again *

* Three, don't be his friend *

* You know you're gonna wake up
in his bed in the morning *
Wow!

* And if you're under him,
you ain't gettin' over him *

* I got new rules,
I count 'em *

* I got new rules,
I count 'em *

* I gotta tell them to myself *

* I got new rules,
I count 'em *

* Practice makes perfect *

* I'm still tryna learn it
by heart *

* Yeah *

* Eat, sleep, and breathe it *

* Rehearse and repeat it *

* 'Cause I *

* I got new rules,
I count 'em *

* One, don't pick up the phone *

* You know he's only calling
'cause he's drunk and alone *

* Two, don't let him in *

* You'll have to
kick him out again *

* Three, don't be his friend *

* You know you're gonna wake up
in his bed in the morning *

* If you're under him,
you ain't gettin' over hiiiim *

* If you're under him,
you ain't gettin' over hiiiim *

* Hey, you ain't gettin'
over him now, baby *

* I got new rules,
I count 'em *

* You ain't gettin' over him *

[ Cheers and applause ]

Yeah, Maddi!

Whoo-hoo!

With "All of Me,"
here's Kamalei Kawa'a.

**

* What would I do
without your smart mouth *

* Drawing me in,
and you kicking me out? *

* You've got my head spinning *

* No kidding,
I can't pin you down *

* What's going on
in that beautiful mind? *

* I'm on your
magical mystery ride *

* And I'm so dizzy
don't know what hit me *

* But I'll be alright *

* My head's under water,
but I'm breathing fire *

Yeah, Kamalei!

* You're crazy
and I'm out of my mind *

* 'Cause all of me
loves all of you *

* I love your curves
and all your edges *

* All your perfect
imperfections *

* Give your all to me *

* I'll give my all to you *

* You're my end
and my beginning *

* Even when I lose
I'm winning *

* 'Cause I give you all of me *

Yes, Kamalei!

* And you give me all of you *

* And I give you all of me *

* And you give me all of you *

* Oh *

[ Cheers and applause ]

Yes, Kamalei!

Man!
Yes!

-Such a good job.
-So sick.

That was so crazy.

That was two, very,
very different performances

in the best kind of way.

Kamalei, that's such
an incredible song.

It's an all-timer,
but you took it

and made it sound
not like a cover.

It sounded like Kamalei
singing that song.

Thank you.
Mahalo.

Shay: Maddi Jane,
in a song like that,

you know, that's very dance-y,

and you were able to bring
out your voice.

And I mean, some of those
high notes were ridiculous.

Thank you so much.

I feel like Chance
has his hands full

because you guys both
deserve to be here,

and it was just
a phenomenal performance.

Kamalei, thank you
for singing my song.

One of the things
that I'm known for in this show

is that I'm a bit tough
on people covering my songs,

but I was just really
into your version.

It was beautiful.

The whole demeanor
with which you carry yourself

with, like, gratitude
and in your spirit,

we feel that, and it comes
through in your voice as well.

Thank you so much.
Mahalo.

It means the world
coming from you.

And Maddi, I love
that you take on songs

that require a lot
of breath control,

a lot of rhythmic singing.

Not easy to do
in a singing competition.

You were really creative
and artistic

in finding ways to also show,
"Hey, I can sing, too."

I don't know who
Chance is going to choose,

but I know
I have a steal left.

Kamalei, your voice,
it just makes me feel good.

Kind of like every time
I go to Hawaii.

Your people are so warm
and welcoming,

and you brought that.

I quite literally
brought Hawaii to you.

My family's here
in the audience.

Love that.
Wonderful.

Maddi, you are
a force of nature.

The sassiness of it,
the attitude.

Thank you so much.
Very talented.

Yeah, you're on your own
on this one.

I have no idea.

Thank you, Coaches.

Alright, Chance,
it comes down to you, buddy.

Amazing performances.

Kamalei, it's hard
to cover John

because he has such
specific tone.

Though we have seen
you do it successfully

with "Ordinary People."
[ Laughter ]

That's so different,
impersonating someone's tone

and being able to invoke
the feeling of these lyrics

that John wrote
is a talent in and of itself.

It makes it easy when you have
a beautiful wife...

Ah!
...to think of
when you do this.

Let's go, dude!
Yeah!

How can you not
love this guy?

[ Laughter ]

Maddi, you have such confidence
and attitude on stage,

but then you also have
the vocal talent to back it up,

which is a big deal,
and like John was saying,

doing a song that's so rhythmic
is a difficult thing.

I thought that was awesome.

Chance, it's time.

Who's the winner
of this knockout?

Oh, damn.

[ Laughter ]

This is tough, Chance.

Honestly...

...I think both you guys
are amazing vocalists,

but the winner
of this knockout is...

...uh...

**

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back.

Chance, who is the winner
of this knockout?

[ Laughter ]

This is tough, Chance.

Chance: Honestly...

...I think both you guys
are amazing vocalists,

but the winner
of this knockout is...

Maddi.

Maddi, congratulations!

You're moving on
to the playoffs!

Chance: Maddi is just
an amazing performer.

Like, through and through,
she's an entertainer.

She can sing, she can rap.

Maddi really showcased
her superstar power.

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

Anything you'd like
to say to your coach?

I really can't repay you
for the moments

that you gave me here,
so thank you.

Oh, man.

Whoa!
We got a steal!

We got two steals!

Yeah!

[ Cheers and applause ]

You are back
in this competition.

Let's hear from John.
He hit his steal button first.

You bring so much of you
to this competition,

and this would be the most
poetic outcome to this moment.

[ Laughter ]

Alright, John, you got
some stiff competition.

Queen Reba.

The greatest singers
in the world

sometimes don't touch
my heart.

So, you've got a big heart,
and you share it with people.

Thank you so much
for your kind words.

Mahalo.

Cool. [ Chuckles ]

Kamalei, who do you pick
as your coach?

[ Audience shouting ]

**

We're gonna go
with John Legend.

There it is!

John Legend steals
Kamalei Kawa'a!

Come on!

Kamalei gave such a beautiful
interpretation of the song.

So proud of you, man.
You're amazing.
Thank you.

I felt his heart.
I felt his emotion.

I had to push for him.
He came to Team Legend.

What better ending
could there be?

Hi, honey.

I'm so proud of you.
Thank you.

I love you so much.

Love you more.

Yeah, he's got
a huge heart, man.

He got me.
He really did.

Kamalei brought me to tears.

I was bummed out because
John got him on the steal.

But it was meant to be.

So, I'm the only one of
the coaches with a steal left.

Keith: Is Legend
your real name?

John: No.
My last name is Stevens.
Wow.

John Roger Stevens.

And yours?
Is true.

Urban?
Yeah.

Keith Urban works.

I think it served you well.

It is what it is.

How do you feel?

I'm a little nervous.
I'm excited.

John: We've got Gene.

He's got this great tenor voice.

He's really talented.

And then Mafe,
she has this gorgeous,

classical, beautiful voice.

Ready to meet them?
Oh, yeah.

Alright, bring them out.
Let's do it.

Oh, my God!

We've got Keith Urban here!

Our mega mentor.

This is like a country
rock star.

He rocks really hard.
He plays guitar.

This guy is a heavy hitter,

and it's a huge, huge plus
to get as many tips

as I can get from him.

Keith: What song
did you pick, Gene?

I picked
"I Don't Want to Miss a Thing."

Aerosmith.
Chance: Oh, nice.
Classic.

I love Aerosmith.

That was actually one
of the first bands

that I remember hearing
as a kid growing up.

Is that where you see
yourself musically?
Yes.

I've always been in rock bands,

so it's just, like,
my favorite thing to do.
Excellent.

When I was a kid,
I would hear Aerosmith.

It just stayed in my head.
It was like an earworm.

And that was the first time
I was like [Vocalizes]

like, figuring out high notes
like that.

* I could stay awake
just to hear you breathing *

Then, like my teen years,

I would get ideas
from Steven Tyler.

How does he do his rock poses?

How does he sing these songs?

I don't really see too many
people of color doing rock.

* ...is a moment I treasure *

That's a genre that's
kind of slept on right now.

So, here I am.

* I don't wanna
close my eyes *

"Don't Want to Miss a Thing"
is a really bold choice

for Gene.

I love him for that.

He actually had
an amazing range.

He really took charge.

Yeah!
* ...a thing *

Wow.
Alright! Well done.

Thank you.

I'd like you
to think about

how to dirty it up
a little bit,

'cause you sound
very proper.

But it doesn't sound
like rock 'n' roll,

because rock has
a little bit dirt to it.
Like [Growls] Yeah.

I think it's about throwing
off some of the syllables

in ways that are, like,
a little more casual.

I'm down. Yeah.
Is this the original key?

Original key.

I'm hearing the D
at the end, right?
Yeah.

You're hitting that,
which is crazy.

Yeah.
But 80% of the song

is in around G-flat, E, D.

That's kind of
where you're living.

And I almost feel
like your voice sits

a little higher than that.

And I don't know
if it's okay,

but to explore maybe even
a half step up or something.
Right.

* And I don't wanna
miss a thing *

I'm learning from John

that you can be the best
technical singer in the world,

but if you're not making
people feel something,

what's the point?

Oh, I desperately want to win
this knockout

because I want to get
to the playoffs.

I feel like
I'm just getting started.

* ...a thing *

I like the key.
I think so.

Fantastic, Gene.

Mafe, come on up.
Hello!

I chose "Almost Is Never Enough"
by Ariana Grande.

* I'd like to say
we gave it a try *

I've been a fan of Ariana Grande
since I can remember.

When I do my own music,

I want to go through that
R&B path like Ariana Grande.

This song helped a lot
to learn English.

From trying to understand
the words

to now being in front
of this coaches,

singing this song,
is mind-blowing.

I just want them
to see my passion

and that I want to stay here.

* The truth is every one knows *

Mafe has a really soulful voice,
a really inviting voice.

And this song means
a lot to her,

and I can feel it
when I see her performing.

* ...enough *
Oh, my goodness.

Beautiful!

The key will
be just making sure

that you're able to connect
on that lower part of the song.

It's about breath support
because low notes

are often harder to support,
especially live.

Be mindful of the nervousness

of moving hands on
the microphone too much.
Yeah.

Particularly in a setting
where the camera's

going to come in really close
and be right here,

'cause this will pick up huge.
Okay.

Gosh,
you've got a good voice.

* ...is never enough *

How are we gonna
pick a winner?

I'm gonna wait and see
who steps up to that moment

because the knockouts
are high pressure.

Everyone is a great singer,

but it's gonna make
a difference who really comes

with their A-plus game
for this performance.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Beautiful!

Daly: With
"I Don't Want to Miss a Thing,"

here's Gene Taylor.

**

* I could stay awake
just to hear you breathing *

* I could stay lost
in this moment forever *

* Oh, every moment
spent with you *

* Is a moment I treasure *

* I don't wanna close my eyes *

* I don't wanna fall asleep *

* 'Cause I'd miss you, baby *

* And I don't wanna
miss a thing *

* Well, I don't wanna
miss one smile *

* No, I don't wanna
miss one kiss *

* Oh, I just wanna
be with you *

* Right here with you *

* Just like this *

* Oh, I just wanna
hold you close *

* I feel your heart
so close to mine *

* And just stay here
in this moment *

* For all the rest of time *

* Yeah, yeah, yeah *

* I don't wanna close my eyes *

* I don't wanna fall asleep *

* 'Cause I'd miss you, baby *

* And I don't wanna
miss a thing *

* 'Cause even
when I dream of you *

* Oh, the sweetest dream
would never do *

* Oh, I'd still miss you, baby *

* And I don't wanna
miss a thing *

* I don't wanna close my eyes *

* I don't wanna fall asleep,
yeah *

* And I don't wanna
miss a thing *

[ Cheers and applause ]

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back
to the knockouts.

Now with
"Almost Is Never Enough,"

here's Mafe.

Come on, Mafe!

[ Cheers and applause ]

**

* I'd like to say
we gave it a try *

* I'd like to blame it
all on life *

* Maybe we just weren't right *

* But that's a lie *

* That's a lie *

* And we can deny it
as much as we want *

* But in time,
our feelings will show *

* 'Cause sooner or later *

* We'll wonder why we gave up *

* The truth is everyone knows *

* Oh, almost *

* Almost is never enough *

* So close to being in love *

* If I would have known
that you wanted me *

* The way I wanted you *

* Then maybe we wouldn't be
two worlds apart *

* But right here
in each other's arms *

* And we almost *

* We almost knew what love was *
Yeah!

* But almost is never enough *

* But almost is never enough *

* Almost is never enough *

* Almost is never enough *

[ Cheers and applause ]

Beautiful!

Killed it!

Way to go!

Gene, I'll start with you.

You put your own
personality and style

into a great
Aerosmith song.

Steven Tyler would be proud.

See how I dropped
that name just right there?

-Yeah.
-That was nice.

I'm just gonna
pick that up now.

You know your way
around a stage.

You're a great entertainer.

And Mafe,
I love that tone.

It makes you want to snuggle up
in a real cozy blanket

and just sit there and listen
to you all night long.

Thank you so much.

Mafe, I always love
your performances.

This is a Ariana song.
You didn't sound like Ariana.

You sounded like yourself,

and if you can make
us feel the song,

like, it goes a long way,

and I really felt connected.

Thank you so much.

Gene, you always give
passionate performances,

but I think this time it
kind of messed with your pitch

in a few moments.

If I had to choose,
I'd probably lean

a little bit more towards Mafe.

Okay.

Gene, your voice
is phenomenal.

I mean, it's technically --

you have one of the best voices
on the show.

Dan: Mafe, you have such

an incredible control
of your voice.

It feels like
a world-class painter.

You know when to dip in
and out of vibrato.

You're just such an
unbelievably talented singer.

You both are.

This was a great,
great knockout.

Thank you so much.

Daly: Thank you, Coaches.

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

Give us some thoughts
before you tell us who won.

Well, both of you
are such a joy to work with.

Gene, I feel like you exude
just positive light

and a love for being on stage.

It's really infectious.

And then, Mafe,
your energy is more like warmth.

It feels like love.

You feel so connected
to the songs.

For both of you,
it's a joy

to be around people like that.

Thank you for giving us that.

Thank you.
Thank you.

Daly: John, you got
a tough decision here.

Who is the winner
of this knockout?

**

The winner of this knockout
is Mafe.

Mafe, congratulations!

You're moving on
to the playoffs!

John: I love Mafe.
Her tone is so beautiful.

Her energy is so warm and calm,
and it's just really special.

Wonderful.
Thank you so much.

She's shown us
some versatility

in the type of song
she can perform.

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

Give it up for Gene Taylor,
ladies and gentlemen.

John: We're really getting down
to the best of the best.

Inevitably,
we're gonna send some

incredibly talented
artists home.

It's so frustrating,
but these are the knockouts.

We've got to make
some tough decisions.

Daly: Still to come on
the final night of knockouts...

expert coaching...

I'd get up on the mic
just a little bit more

and get a bit more intimate.
Okay.

* The Georgia rain *

Daly: ...extraordinary
performances...

* Your sweet love *
Yes!

I thought you slayed that.

Absolutely sang the mess
out of that song.

My Lord,
that was beautiful.

-Yeah!
-Oh!

Daly: ...and Reba uses
the last steal of the season.

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back
to "The Voice."

Alright, so,
this is my last chance.

I have one steal.

You're the only one
with a steal.
Yeah.

I'm jealous of the steal.

There's still
some great talent left.

Yeah, I have some great people
on Team Legend

that they would love
to be on Team Reba.

[ Laughter ]

We're campaigning
to have two steals.

We've got two chairs.

Wait a minutes.
Is that right?

Can they do that?

They are one coach,
as a team

'cause each of them is like
half a coach, really, honestly.

Oh!
Wow!

Wow!
Oh, no.

Unbelievable.
Did I say that?

I'm excited.

When we're here,
there's something so pure

about seeing
these artists compete.

And still stay friends.
Yeah.

They come in, they hug,
they compete.

That's one of the best parts
of the show, honestly.

Somebody had
a secret handshake earlier.

You remember
our secret handshake, Chance,

that we came up with?
I forgot it

as soon as you
taught it to me.

Oh, man.
[ Laughs ]

We started out,
it was like this.

I remember that part.
And it comes off,

and then we elbow,
and then we punch John.

[ Laughter ]

You remember.
Well, we changed it.

Listen, I don't know
the handshake.

I'm gonna remember this.
It's a work in process.

I'm ready to do this.
More knockouts!
Let's go!

Let's fire it up.
Reba's got a steal to use.

I'm nervous.

Shay: Being able to mentor
these contestants is incredible.

You've really done that for us
over the years,

which we're very grateful for.

Dan: These people
all look up to you, man.

And that means a lot.

The words
that you give them,

I feel like they're gonna
carry with them

the rest of their lives.
Awesome.

Dan: Love you, brother.
Love you, too, Dan.

Doing squats. Whew!
Get rid of the nerves.

How are you still nervous?

I don't know.
You got it.
You got it.

Ducote, Karen,
they're very different singers.

Karen is this powerhouse,
Carrie Underwood-type singer.

And Ducote has a special grit
to his voice,

and I think it's gonna
make for a great pairing.

Adios!
After you, lady.

What's up, guys?
Let's go!

Come on!
No way!

Let's go!
How are you, Karen?

Oh, my gosh!
Yes, yes!
Nice to see you.

Yes! Nice to meet you!

Ducote: Keith Urban
can do everything.

He performs.
He puts on a great show.

It's crazy to be able
to get input

from a guy that's done
amazing with his career.

I literally just was
at your show in Nashville.

Were you?
To walk in the room

and see that level
of a performer about to help me?

I was like, "Yes!"

Let's dive in.
Alright. Let's do this.

Dan: It's gonna be a good one.

Tell me what song
are you gonna do?

Oh, I'm gonna be doing
"She Got the Best of Me"

by Luke Combs.
Oh, cool.

* 17, you don't think
that much about life *

* You just live it *

I look back on life
when I was way younger,

three years ago,
when I was [Laughing] 17,

going to the lake all day,
staying up all night,

living free.

And then 18 comes along,

got into fire school
and became a firefighter.

And then school on top
of all that.

* She got the best of me *

This whole experience
has been a great reminder

that you got to do
what makes you happy.

Live in the moment now,
while you can,

'cause eventually,
it's gonna end

and you're gonna have to go back
to your real world.

This song showcases
the artist I want to be

because it's a rough
country song.

But it also has some
very vulnerable parts.

* You get what's left of me *

What a sick song.
Such a smash on country radio.

I feel like this allows him
to show a more vulnerable,

more soft side,
which I think is important.

He's got the charisma.
He's got the personality.

I think that's really
going to translate.

-Yeah, buddy.
-Yeah, man.

Dan: Obviously, I think
you're most at home

when you're doing,
like, the growl,

kind of, like,
tougher thing.

I just want to feel
the same confidence

in the tender part.
Yep.

To this point
in the competition,

we haven't heard
anything kind of soft

like that from you.

Keith:
Right out of the gate,

might be nice if there was
just piano and you.

Okay.
And then maybe
the band can build up.

And when we hit the chorus,
then we go into that.

I really want you
to sell that part --

"She got the best of me."

* She got the best of me *

And just really,
like, let that sink in.
Okay.

I would save, like,
the big gritty growl

for the last line of that
to really make it matters.

* Is beating in this guitar
every night *

Okay.
Let that be the moment.

I like changing things up.

* 17, you don't think
that much about life *

* You just live it *

Breaking down that beginning
really helped.

Thank you so much, man.
Thank y'all.

Shay: Thanks
for listening to us.

Ducote is so unique.

I've lived in Nashville
a long time,

and I've played music
with a lot of people,

and I've never heard
anybody sing quite like him,

so I really have to bring it.

Tell us about
where you're singing today.

I'm singing "Georgia Rain"
by Trisha Yearwood.

* Barefoot in the bed
of your truck *

This song is really emotional
and is a storytelling song.

It's about everybody's
love story

that they look back on
and reminisce in a positive way.

I moved to Nashville, Tennessee,
after college.

I was living
in a really run-down house,

playing bar gigs,

and I was in a relationship

where I was traveling
to see a guy

that was living in Georgia.

It was a conflicting emotional
roller coaster for years.

Finally, I decided
I'm going to put music first.

* The Georgia rain *

I feel like I'm getting better,

working with the coaches,
pushing myself.

I don't want the ride
to be over.

You sound like a record
when you sing.

You got such a great voice.
Thank you.

Don't think about performing
so much right out of the gate.
Okay.

I'd get up on the mic
just a little bit more

and get a bit more intimate.
Okay.

Let yourself be
vulnerable on that.

That's it.
How would Adele do it?

She knows
how to tell the story,

and she pulls you in.
Yeah.

Save some of the big,

expansive arms motions
and stuff,

till when you're
really going for it at the end.
Karen: Okay.

'Cause I think that'll make
it pay off a little bit more.

* Barefoot in the bed
of your truck *

Keith:
Dan + Shay have a couple

of really legit country artists
on their team.

Karen came with this big voice.

But when you're choosing
a Trisha Yearwood song,

you have to be a storyteller.

That's what Trisha does
so exceptionally well.

* Georgia rain *

Yeah! Yeah, yeah, yeah!

Did that help?
Oh, my --

That was night and day.

The more restraint
that you use,

that sells it 10 times
more to me

'cause I believe it.
Okay, yeah.

Come on up here, Ducote.

We're all lucky to get to hang
with this guy today.

I mean, absolute legend, dude.
Ducote: Thank you, guys.

Thank you, Keith,
for being here today.

You are the ultimate
inspiration for performers.
Seriously.

Our country knockout,
Karen versus Ducote.

Karen's a tough competitor.

She's such a good singer.
She's a seasoned pro.

Ducote's got that gravel in his
voice, the growl kind of thing.

This is gonna be
an impossible decision.

This is the worst decision
we're gonna have to make.

In country music, the words are
the most important thing.

Whoever connects to those lyrics
more, I think is gonna move on.

Dude, we need
a triple chair.

We got to keep you
around, man.

Just don't give any good advice
to the other teams

and we'll be all set.
Exactly.
We'll be good to go.

Shay: Okay, Karen!

Let's go.

Now singing "Georgia Rain,"

here's Karen Waldrup.

[ Cheers and applause ]

**

* Barefoot in the bed
of your truck *

* On a blanket lookin' up *

* Half a moon
peeking down at us *

* From underneath the clouds *

* Teenage kids
sneakin' out again *

Whoo!

* I heard the thunder
rollin' in *

Wow.

* We were fallin'
the moment when *

* It all came pourin' down *

* The Georgia rain *

* On the Jasper County clay *

* Couldn't wash away *

* What I felt for you that day *

* Just you and me
down an ol' dirt road *

Yes!
* Nothin' in our way *

* Except for *

* The Georgia raaaain *

* Couldn't wash away *

* The way I loved you
to this day *

* The ol' dirt road's
paved over now *

* Nothin' here's the same *

* Except for *

* The Georgia rain *

Yes!

[ Cheers and applause ]

Reba: Whoo!

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back
to the knockouts.

Looking good, Ducote.
Let's go!

It's all country these days.

You look like a stud.

With "She Got the Best of Me,"
here's Ducote Talmage.

[ Cheers and applause ]

**

* 17, you don't think
that much about life *

* You just live it *

* Like kerosene dancing
'round a fire *

* But you're in it *

* So you jump right in *

* Ain't afraid to fall *

* And you give it all *

* She broke my heart *

* And all that's left of me *

* Is beating in this guitar *

* Oh, every night,

* She follows me around *

* So you get what's left of me *

* Yeah, you get
what's left of me *

* She got the best of me *

* Whoa *

* She got the best of me *

* She broke my heart *

* Now all that's left of me *

* Is beating in this guitar *

* Every night,
a different town *

* She follows me around *

* So you get what's left of me *

* Yeah, you get
what's left of me *

* She got the best of me *

* She got the best of me *

* She got the best of me *

* Ohhh *

[ Cheers and applause ]

Good job, Ducote!

Not bad!

Congratulations.
That was wonderful.

Ducote, I love your
cool rasp in your voice.

You used it in a way
that was really well chosen.

Thank you so much.
Mm-hmm.

And, Karen, my Lord,
that was beautiful.

Your tone has this
really nice openness to it.

I was really impressed.

Ducote, that texture
in your voice, I love it.

Sexy.

That was a great song
for you.

And, Karen, you were that person
in the Georgia rain.

You stayed in the moment
throughout the whole song.

I just loved
your performance of it.
Thanks.

Ducote, I think that was
your best performance so far.

I thought it was passionate
but also, like, controlled.

Karen, that was so raw.

It felt a little
like Celine Dion.

Yeah, it was like
big pop diva vocal.
Yeah.

You just have a very angelic,
delicate voice,

but it's very intentional.

I'm leaning towards Karen.

Thank you, Coaches.
Alright, Dan + Shay.

Give us some thoughts
on the knockout,

and then tell us who won.

Ducote, I think the first verse
of that performance

really showcased
that more tender,

kind of soft,
real breathy thing,

and you nailed it.
Thank you.

I love the way
that you light up the room

whenever you walk in it.

I feel like I'm writing him
a love letter.

"Dear Ducote..."

You were so thoughtful
in the way

that you delivered this song.

That was
the best performance

I think that I've heard you do

this entire competition.

Dan: Karen, you just have one
of the most incredible voices.

A lot of people need an engineer
in the studio,

twisting knobs to make a voice
push and pull like that.

Yeah.
Giving Chance
the Celine Dion feels

on some
of that tender stuff.

Straight up.
Straight up.

That's an incredible ability
that not everybody has, really.

Yeah, straight up.
Yeah, shout out Celine, dude.

Chance's heart will go on.

[ Laughter ]

I have just fallen in love
with both of you guys.

This is a tough decision.

Dan + Shay,
the time has come.

Who is the winner
of this knockout?

**

[ Sighs ]

The winner...

is Karen.

Karen, congratulations!

Karen and Ducote,
our country pairing,

both really brought the heat.

I just think Karen edged it
out a little bit.

She really just was
super dynamic

in her performance
and super precise.

Karen is a superstar, man.

I think she's so good.

She can sing any song
we throw her way.

She wants to be a country artist
through and through,

and she's gonna crush it
on this show.

She has so much potential.

Give it up for Ducote Talmage,
ladies and gentlemen!

Man, I was tough
to see Ducote go.

We love that guy.
It's heartbreaking.

You know, we have developed
relationships with these people,

and it's hard to see
them go home.

You're so beautiful.
Thank you.

Hey, you know, you go
to my cousin's store --

He's working it.
Working it.

Tell him you know me
next time.
You got it.

Thank you, everybody!

Reba, did he just
get your number?

He did.

[ Laughter ]

Dan + Shay
believed in me first.

That's right, we did.
That's right, we did!

Let's go!
Oh, you crushed that.

What a performance.
You're such a star.

This is gonna be so fun.

Let's go.
Let's go!

Come on.
Crushed it, Karen.
It's the playoffs!

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back.

L. Rodgers: Hi, Miss Reba!
Reba: Hey, hey!

How are you?
Good.

So, what's it like
sitting up there,

watching all of this?
So nice

because we haven't heard
everybody sing.

And so, like,
getting to see everybody...

Yeah.
It's amazing.

And, like, Kamalei already
made me sob.

Me, too, as you saw.
I know.

Thank you so much
for this opportunity.
You're welcome!

Like, I'm so grateful.

I'm very grateful
you're on my team.

And we're gonna have fun
at the playoffs.

Oh, yeah,
we're gonna do it.

So, the two -- now, really,
it's three that are coming out.

One is a duo,
Justin and Jeremy Garcia.

I stole him from Dan + Shay.

And then Zeya, she's got
a great range, powerful voice.

Let me know
what you think.
I can't wait
to hear them.

Yeah. Well,
bring them on in!

Yeah!

-Oh!
-What?!

Oh, my God!

Hi, there.
Hi!

Keith Urban --
I couldn't believe my eyes.

He is one of my
favorite country artists.

So, for me,
it was a big deal.

Good to see you, man.

Justin: You don't even need
to be into country

to know Keith Urban.

And him standing
next to Reba?

Two of the biggest
country artists in one room.

Right?
That's crazy.

We're so excited
to work with Reba

because she has
so much experience.

She can definitely teach us
how to really perform.

So, what are y'all
singing today?

"You Are the Reason"
by Calum Scott.

Why'd you pick it?

The lyrics really embody
our brotherly bond.

Aww!
Keith: Wow.

* There goes my heart... *

The story to the song
shows that there is a reason

why you keep moving,

and for the both of us,
it's each other.

* I'd climb every mountain *

Growing up, we weren't
always the best of friends,

'cause Justin was
the sports dude,

and I was in the band.

So, we definitely had
a little separation.

But as we got older,
we knew

that singing was a passion
that we both shared.

Music was that one thing
that brought us together.

[ Vocalizing ]

I really love this pop
acoustic style.

We get to show
this vulnerable side.

* ...broken *

Justin and Jeremy
do such a good job together.

I like to work with harmonies.
That's what I grew up with.

I think it's really good
for them being a duo.

They're gonna stand out
in the competition.

They're different.

* ...the reason *

Keith: Alright.

Reba: Bravo!
Good job.

Okay, since this is
the first time

I've got to visit
with you guys --

Right.
...your singing's great.

Now, let's work on communication
with the audience.

For sure.
Jeremy, you were so cute.

You got through with your part
and you were like,

"Whew! Got that done.

Whoo! I'm tickled to pieces.
Now it's your turn."

You got to stay
in that moment.

And, Justin,
smile with your eyes.

Barry Manilow told me
one time,

"Are you smiling
when you're singing that line?"

I said, "No."
He said, "Do it."

Because if you smile when
you're singing, we can hear it.

Good advice, Reba.
Thank you.

Have you had to learn
all this the hard way?

Yes, I did.

[ Laughter ]

When you guys sing
the high broken line...
Yeah.

...it's the only part
of the song

that feels like
it's forced, vocally.

What are you singing
on that part?

* Broken *

* ...en *
You there?

And you're * ...en *
You're there.
Yeah.

What if they went
in their head voice?

* Broken *

* Broken *

Instead of full voice.
Keith: Yeah.

* And fix what I've broken *

Yeah.
That was a lot,
lot better.

'Cause it's also vulnerable.
Thank you.

Okay, Zeya.
Come on up, girl.

It's very hard
to go against a duo.

Kill it.
It did scare me a bit,

but I want to win this knockout

because I just feel so complete
doing music every day.

What are you gonna
sing for us?

I am singing "River"
by Bishop Briggs.

This song is about empowerment.

* Shut your mouth, baby *

My mom has really inspired me.

With everything in music
and in life,

she's always pushed me
to never give up.

She had me at 16.

She was a single mom, and it was
really, really hard on her.

She had to grow up very fast.

But she always made sure that
she had a smile on her face,

and she never showed
that she was struggling.

My mom is very proud of me.

She calls me every day,
and she just can't believe

that I'm finally
living my dream.

* Choke this love
till the veins start to shiver *

I chose this song
because I feel

like it shows
my powerhouse side.

So, I'm really hoping Reba can
hear this other side of my voice

that she hasn't heard before.

* Shut your mouth
and run me like a river *

What a song!

That's a great song.

The only thing I see
is breath.
Yes.

Get your lyrics out

and start marking
where you take a breath.
Okay.

I'm assuming
you guys get

little to no sleep
during this period.

I didn't get a lot of sleep.

I was thinking about today.

When your voice is
not quite there for you,

'cause you're tired,
the vocal gets affected.

Mm-hmm.
You can't hit the note
you want to go for

'cause you didn't have
the breath under it.

[ Vocalizing ]

* That note's really high *
You know?

Forget that high note
and find the lower note

that you could hit
that lyric right there

and maybe one note up there.

Okay.
Make the lyric be the thing.

My voice is not there?
Alright.

I'm gonna tell the story
even more.

Okay.
Good note.

I want to use that.

I might have use it myself.

[ Laughter ]

Write that down.

I thought Zeya had
a really good song choice.

She's got a real innate swagger
about her.

And that song --
a very good match.

Thank you so much.

This pairing is hard
because Justin and Jeremy

have the singer/songwriter
thing,

and then Zeya has
more of a vocal ability.

But that may not connect
if she over-sings.

This is going to be
a really tough decision.

Bye-bye.
One more.

One more. One more.

Y'all are cute as a button.

John: Alright, Garcias.
Let's go!

Singing "You Are the Reason,"

here are
Justin and Jeremy Garcia.

Go, baby!

[ Cheers and applause ]

**

* There goes my heart beating *

* 'Cause you are the reason *

* I'm losing my sleep *

* Please come back now *

Alright.

* If I could turn back
the clock *

* And make sure
the light defeated the dark *

* I'd spend every hour
of every day *

* Keeping you safe *

* And I'd climb every mountain *

* And swim every ocean *

* Just to be with you *

* And fix what I've broken *

* Oh, 'cause I need you *

* To see *

* That you are the reason *

* I need you
to hold me tonight *
* Come a little closer *

* Come a little closer *
* Come a little closer now *

* Come a little closer now *

* I need you
to hold me tonight *

* I'd climb every mountain *

* And swim every ocean *

* Just to be with you *

* And fix what I've broken *

* Oh, 'cause I need you *

* To see *

* That you are the reason *

[ Cheers and applause ]

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back
to the knockouts.

Alright, Zeya.

Now with "River," Zeya Rae.

* Like a river, like a river *

* How do you fall in love *

* Harder than
a bullet could hit ya *

* How do we fall apart *

* Faster than
a hairpin trigger *

* Don't you say,
don't you say it *

* Don't say,
don't you say it *

* One breath *

* It'll just break it *

* So shut your mouth and
run me like a river *

* Shut your mouth,
baby, stand and deliver *

* Holy hands,
will they make me a sinner *

* Like a river *

* Like a river *

* Shut your mouth and
run me like a river *

* Choke this love
till the veins start to shiver *

* One last breath
till the tears start to wither *

* Like a river *

* Like a river *

* Shut your mouth
and run me like a river *

* Woah *

* Oh woah *

* Oh woah *

* Like a river *

* Stand and deliver *
* Stand and deliver *

* Holy hands,
will they make me a sinner *

* Make me a sinner *

* Like a river *

* Like a river *

* Shut your mouth and
run me like a river *

* Choke this love
till the veins start to shiver *

* One last breath
till the tears start to wither *

* Like a river *

* Like a river *

* Shut your mouth and
run me like a river *

[ Cheers and applause ]

**

Good job.
Wonderful.

Shay: Zeya, your intensity
matched the song.

The whole production, shout out
to everybody doing the lights

and the screens and the band
and everything was awesome.

I still can't see right now.
Yeah.

There was one single light
that hit me in the eyeball,

and I -- I think I passed away
for a second.

Yeah.
But it was worth it.

He has risen.
That's right.

Zeya, vocally, technically,

you've grown a lot
to this competition.

Don't pull away from the mic.
That happens to me all the time.

Sometimes I just put down
the mic and just run around

and hope that Dan's got my back.

Uh, thank you.
Got you, due.

But I thought it was
a great performance.

Justin and Jeremy,

your confidence has boosted
with every performance.

For sure, for sure.
Thank you.

It's the blood harmony thing,
like Reba said.

It's just so dialed.

I got to go with my boys,
Justin and Jeremy, man.

You guys, the voice.

Man,
that was fire.

Zeya, I sense a little
lack of confidence

in the very early parts
of the song.

When a person runs into that
and fights back

and ends up giving one
of their better performances,

I always have
to call that out.
Yeah.

You gave
a bad ass performance.

Thank you.

Justin and Jeremy,
I wish there was

a little bit
more energy in the performance.

Right.

You're so technically
talented

that it's still just
a beautiful performance.

John: Justin and Jeremy,

I really loved a lot
of the falsetto stuff

where you're doing
harmonies together.

But you guys can work
on being a little more

in sync together
so you can open up

and do what you know
you can do as vocalist, okay?

Got it. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much.

Zeya, I really love those
higher chest voice

notes you were doing.

I felt a little bit more
connected to Zeya's performance.

Daly: Thank you, coaches.

Alright, Queen Reba, give us
some thoughts on the knockout.

Reba: Zeya, you did a great job.

I would've loved
to have seen you stay

in one position in that song.

But your voice is great,
you know that.
Zeya: Thank you.

Justin and Jeremy,
y'all are cute as a button.

Look at that smile.

Oh, my gosh.
[ Laughs ]

I thought you did
a great job.

There were a few little things

where I thought you
might have gotten lost,

but congratulations
on pulling this off,

and you did a wonderful job.

Thank you.
Thank you so much.

Daly: Alright, Reba.

Who is the winner
of this knockout?

[ Sighs ]

[ Dramatic music plays ]

Winner of this knockout...

is Justin and Jeremy.

Justin and Jeremy Garcia,
you are in the playoffs.

It like really makes us feel
like we have something to offer,

and we belong
in this competition.

We're going to the playoffs,
whoo!
We're going to the playoffs!

Give it up for Zeya Rae,
ladies and gentlemen.

Reba: It was a hard decision
because Zeya is so good,

but I had to choose
Justin and Jeremy

because of the uniqueness
of their act.

Everybody's great singers,

but we have to have
something a little different.

And going with the brothers
was part of my strategy.

Reba, you're the only one
with the steal left.

I am.

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back.

Hey, what are you
singing today?

Alright,
turn your chairs around.

* I can hear... *

[ Cheers and applause ]

Turn your chairs around,
see if he passes the test.

* Here's you one chance, Fancy,
don't let me down *

[ Cheers and applause ]

That's -- You know?

Rletto: You're now Team Chance,
like...

Alyssa: I was thinking
about that today,

and everybody's so excited
about the mega mentor.

I'm like, this is my
first time working with Chance.

That's what I'm saying.
Hey just stole me.

Alyssa's brand new
to my team.

I stole her from Reba.

Daly: Whoa!

Chance: Alyssa has a
really soulful voice,

and she also has this tenacity
to work through performances.

And so, I put her up
against Rletto.

He's an amazingly
talented singer.

And if you're new
to Team Chance,

you got to prove your worth.

Hey!
Oh, my God!

[ Laughs ] What's good?
Rletto, how are you?

He said my name.
I'm great. How are you?

Yeah, I'm good.

When I saw Keith,
I was like, Yo.

This is crazy.

He's won so many Grammys
and has number one singles.

Did you get stolen?
I'm the steal.

How about that?

Alyssa: Keith was actually
my first concert

after I had begun my
sobriety journey.

Also, he just oozes stardom.

I want to say again
thank you

for giving me
another opportunity.

I appreciate you so much.
Chance: Thank you.

This is the way
it was supposed to go down.

* Don't wish it away *

* Don't look at it
like it's forever *

I am singing "I Guess That's Why
They Call it the Blues"

by Elton John,

but I'm doing the
Alessia Cara version.

* I could honestly say *

It's about loving somebody
that's far away from you.

I'm, of course,
singing to my fiancé, Dan,

because he's the love
of my life

and he's lots of miles
away from me,

unfortunately, and this
whole process has been really,

really hard being away
from our life together.

* And it won't be long *

But at the same time,

this song is also about
being able to find yourself

while you're away
from the person you love.

And we've learned so much
about ourselves

and how we're able to live
our lives separately,

but still be in a really strong
connected relationship together.

* Time on my hands *

He is biggest support
in my musical journey.

He's taken over paying our bills
and taking care of our house

and our animals, while I'm
out here living my dream.

I want to win this knockout
so badly for him.

* And I guess that's why they
call it the blues *

Chance: I loved Alyssa's pick,
and I think

what it really showcased to me
is her voice.

She has this, like,
soulful rock tinge

to it, almost
like a country tinge to it.

Even though she's
not a country artist,

she brings a little
soulful southern feel to it.

That's what makes her so unique.

* The blues *

Nice.
Alright.

Do you feel comfortable
with the key it's in?

I'm just still working
the kinks out.

'Cause to me,
it sounded like you were

flatting a lot of parts.
Did you guys go up?

Yes. We started F,
and we went to F Sharp.

You just gonna rain
in your adrenaline.

Yeah.

You're so excited to get to
those big notes at the end,

that you're not in the moment
you're in.

So just be in the moments.

The first time
you did laughing like children

was the first time
you got pitchy,

so keep rehearsing it.
Okay.

The ownership you had
at the end of the song

after you hit
that high note,

and then you just let it
sit for as long

as you wanted
before you came back in, right?

The whole band's
waiting on you.
[ Chuckles ]

Have that ownership from
the very beginning to the end.

Alright.

* And dust out
the demons inside *

This sounds great.
It's so much better.

Let's give Rletto a shot.

Dude, you sound fire, man.

What song are you singing?

"Stay" by Justin Bieber
and Kid Laroi.

And Kid Laroi. I'm like ahh!
Okay.

Justin Bieber,
that's my ace.

I know. I want to do it as much
justice as I possibly can.

* I get drunk, wake up *

The line "I realize time
that I wasted here"...

* The time
that I've wasted here *

...that has so much
weight to it.

I did a lot of odd jobs
growing up.

I worked at a coffee shop
when I could have been doing

something music related.

I was just wasting time
in these spots

that weren't meant for me.

And now I'm working
with someone that's so great.

Chance is literally one of the
most humblest human beings ever.

I want to stay on Team Chance.
I want to win bad.

Yeah, sing for real.

Rletto, he's just
unapologetically himself.

He's very open with how he feels
about the arrangements,

with why he picks songs.

He's like, I'm me, I'm Rletto.
This is what I do.

* I need you to stay,
need you to stay *

Alright.
Yeah.

That song is so fast.

Would you feel comfortable
slowing it down at all?

I'm down to slow it down.

You've thrived so much
when you did the Whitney song.

If you do ballad and soul
stuff on the show,

people are gonna love
it every time.

Make it a real ballad.
I like all this.

I need all of this.

Turning these pop rap songs
into ballads,

this can be a cool
new venture of my artistry.

I haven't heard anyone do
this song slow yet.

The biggest challenge for me
right now

is going to
be getting comfortable

with this new arrangement.

But I got this.
I can do this.

When you get to the end
of need you to stay,

need you to stay, you change
the melody a little bit.

Yeah.
I think you need to do
that in the slow bit as well.

Okay.
'Cause when you do
the * stay, stay *,

it's just not
going to be there...

Mm-hmm.
...when you're
in that fragile moment.

Yeah.
* Need you to stay *

Whatever you do there...
Yeah.

...it is so much better.

Dang, you just hit
that note so easily.

Whenever I turn a song
into a ballad,

you would think
that because you have more time,

you're saying more words, but
I'm usually cutting out words.

You should be remembering
the emotion on each bar.

Yeah.

* I told you I'd change,
even when I knew I never could *

Yeah.
Yeah.

There's a lot of pressure going
into these knockout rounds.

I'm really feeling
for all the artists.

* Need you stay *

Keith: There's this incredible
balancing act of being calm,

centered, but energized
that every one of them

gotta strike
because it's do or Die.

"The Voice" is so much more
about you as an individual.

This is really your opportunity
to platform who you are,

so get up there
and show yourself.

Thank you.
Thank you.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Let's go.

With "I Guess That's
Why They Call It The Blues,"

here's Alyssa Crosby.

[ Cheers and applause ]

**

* Don't wish it away *

* Don't look at it
like it's forever *

**

* Between you and me *

* I could honestly
say that things *

* Can only get better *

* And while I'm away *

* Dust out the demons inside *

* And it won't be long *

* Before you and me run *

* To the place in our hearts
where we hide *

* And I guess that's why they
call it the blues *

* Time on my hands *

* Could be time
spent with you *

* Laughing like children *

* Living like lovers *

* Rolling like thunder
under the covers *

* And I guess that's why
they call it the blues *

* I guess that's why they
call it the blues *

* Time on my hands *

* Could be time
spent with you *

* Laughing like children *

* Living like lovers *

* Rolling like thunder
under the covers *

Yeah.
Hey.

* And I guess
that's why they call it *

* The blues *

That's great.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Whoo!

[ Cheers and applause ]

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back
to the knockouts

at Universal Studios, Hollywood.

Rletto!

Whoo!

Now with "Stay,"
here's our Rletto.

[ Cheers and applause ]

**

* I do the same thing *

* I told you that
I never would *

* I told you I'd change *

* Even when I knew
I never could *

* Know that I can't find nobody
else as good as you *

* I need you to stay, oh *

* I get drunk *

* Wake up, I'm wasted still *

* Realize the time
that I wasted here *

* I feel like you can't feel
the way I feel *

* I'll be messed up
if I can't be right here *

* Oh *

* Oh *

* Oh *

* I'll be messed up if I can't
be right here *

* I do the same thing *

* I told you
that I never would *

* I told you I'd change *

* Even when I knew
I never could *

* Know that I can't find nobody
else as good as you *

* I need you to stay,
I need you to stay, hey *

* When I'm away from you,
I miss your touch *

* You're the reason
I believe in love *

* It's been difficult
for me to trust *

* And I'm afraid
that I'ma mess it up *

* Ain't no way
that I can leave you stranded *

* 'Cause you ain't
never leave me empty-handed *

* And you know that I know *

* That I can't live
without you *

* So won’t you stay *

* Ooh *

He's on fire.

* Stay *

* I need you to stay *

* So won’t you stay *

[ Cheers and applause ]

That was sick.

Man, that was such a great
performance by both of you guys.

Alyssa, your technique
is just insane.

Elton's not an easy singer,
but you absolutely crushed it.

This was one of
the best knockout performances

of the day, for sure.
It genuinely was.

Y'all crushed it.
That was such
a fun performance.

Song selection
was phenomenal.

It just had something
a little extra,

and it just showed a lot about
who you want to be as an artist,

and I was very impressed
with that, so well done.

Thank you so much.

Rletto, dude,

always bringing
the heat with the outfits.

Just a legend, man.

I don't know who came up
with that arrangement,

if that was you and Chance
or Chance?

I think that was so dope.

It's got so much soul
and body to it.

I thought you slayed that.
Thank you.

That was crazy.

You could put on a master class
on what it means to perform

because you brought me
into that performance,

and I believe every word
that you sang.

Rletto,
you really are just cool.

Your tone is just fresh.

You feel like a tastemaker,
You know what I'm saying?

Yeah.
Like Rihanna,
she can really sing.

But also, everybody just
thinks she's cooler than them,

and they want to know
what she likes.

I think I'd placed my bets
on Rletto going forward.

Thank you.

Alyssa, you have grown
leaps and bounds.

You really showcase that.
with the real gritty

I'm going to get in there,
and then the very

soft little whisper
and tender moments.

I'm just real proud of you.

And Rletto, great stage
presence, great performance.

I'm going to go with Alyssa
because of your growth.

Thank you.
Daly: Thank you, coaches.

Chance, you got
a tough decision here.

But first, give us
some thoughts on the knockout.

Alyssa, you killed the song.
Like top to bottom,

it was an amazing performance
on a brand new team.

I thought it was awesome.

Rletto, you showed a mastery
of the song

and an intention with the lyrics

that really
made it personal for me.

When Justin
and The Kid Laroi see it,

they'll be proud
of the performance.

I kind of wish that
you went a little bit harder

in your higher register.

Why not go hard, you know?

I feel that.
Sorry.

That's the end
of what I was going to say.

[ Laughter and applause ]

Alright, Chance.

Thanks for letting
us know you're done.

Yeah, man.

Not an easy decision.
We need to know.

Who's the winner
of this knockout?

There's a very,
very difficult decision.

Both you guys are
amazing artists.

But the winner
of this knockout...

[ Dramatic music plays ]

...is Rletto.

Rletto, congratulations.

You're moving on the playoffs
for Team Chance.

Oh, this is crazy.

I'm going to the playoffs.
This is wild.

Give it up for Alyssa Crosby,
ladies and gentlemen.

Chance: A decision like this
is incredibly difficult.

Alyssa really grew
so much every round so far,

but I had to go with Rletto.

He's just a world class talent.

My favorite part about Rletto
is his ability to improvise

and make every performance
of any song sound

like a brand new song.

He's honestly, sneakily, like,
one of my favorites.

He's super dope.

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back
to "The Voice."

Okay, we got this.
I'm so excited!

So we've got
Jackie and Zoe.

Jackie, she's got
this crackle in her tone.

Oh, cool. Nice.
It's super cool,
I love it.

And then Zoe is my
only country artist.

She won against a trio,
which was pretty difficult.

In John we trust.
In John we trust.

Look at who's here.
Look.

We've got a mega mentor.
His name is Keith Urban.

[ Squeals ]
Oh, my God.

Zoe: I'm kind of freaked out
a little bit.

I grew up listening to him.

He knows how to really
elevate a performance,

'cause he's worked so hard
on his own,

and he's worked with
so many other talented artists.

So, Jackie,
tell me what song you chose.

I'm singing "Love on the Brain"
by Rihanna.

Oh, I love this song.

It's exactly everything
that I want to be as an artist.

Yeah.
You know,
that pop soul genre.

Yep.

* And you got me like oh *

This is my first ballad,

and I'm excited to show
how much I can let loose

and just be totally raw
and unfiltered.

* Baby you got me like oh *

I vividly remember the
first time I heard this song.

I was in the car with my mom.

My mom has given up so much
for me to be here.

Even just for me
to record in a studio,

she sold her wedding ring.

I want to pay my mom back
for everything

that she's done for me,

and I'm gonna keep
fighting every single round.

* Must be love on the brain *

What do you think,
Keith?

She can sing.
Yeah.

[ Laughter ]

She can sing.

It's so great you
get to choose your own songs.

Tells us so much about
where you see yourself.

I can feel a bit of nerves.

I felt like I was hearing your
voice more than feeling you.

I think you need
to get into character.

Yeah.
Feel like you're
in a sweaty blues club.

Put more stank
on your personality.

You know what I'm saying?
Yeah.

And you got it.
It's that look.

[ Laughs ]
It's that swag.

Yes.

* I can for miles *

* Just to get a taste *

Whoa!
* Must be love *

John: I love the crackle
in Jackie's voice.

I love that tone.

Rihanna also has
that kind of ugh

that you love to feel
in a voice.

And I think Jackie can do
this song justice.

That was really great progress
from take one to take two.

I'm over here being
staged at, like...

Yes.
[ Laughter ]

Jackie killed it
in rehearsal.

She is such a powerhouse,

and that's not necessarily
my strength,

just the big, cool high note.

But I'm just going to continue
to focus and sing

true to myself
and play to my strengths.

So, I am singing

"Cowboy Take Me Away"
by the Chicks.

Alright.

I sit in the singer/songwriter,
folk kind of country genre,

and I feel like this song is
right in my sweet spot.

* I said I wanna
touch the earth *

* I wanna break it in my hands *

This song brings up
so many fond memories for me.

My family and I love
to do a backyard jam session

at my parents' house.

We've sang this song
so many times,

and so it just makes
me think of home.

* Set me free *

* Oh, I pray *

I grew up listening
to The Chicks.

They were like,
the first girls I saw

that were writing
their own songs

and playing their
own instruments.

I owe a lot of my
song writing style to them.

* Clothes to you *

Whoo!
It was so good.

Keith: It's really nice.

Is it a choice to do
the sensitive first chorus?

Yes.
You don't sound
confident in that angelic place.

You're confident
at the end of the song.
Yeah.

But in the first chorus,
I'm a little bit unsure.

Keith is right, because
you only have two minutes.

You got to win, you know?
That's your goal.

Falsetto is the first thing
to betray you in a live --

in a live performance.
[ Laughs ] It so is.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.

Just go for it on both
choruses.

I think you would be good
if you visualize

your own Cowboy,
whoever that is.

Well, she's engaged
to be married.

Yeah.
Oh, really?

So is your future husband
a cowboy?

In this song he is.
I mean, he's from Louisiana.

So, you know, it works.
So we'll -- we'll call him
a cowboy.

Absolutely.
Yeah.

You got to think more
about the story...

Yeah.
...and sing it to your guy.

That's the difference
between a good performance

and a great performance...
Yeah.

...Is that connection.

* Cowboy, take me away *

The biggest challenge
for this song

is I can get so focused
on hitting the right notes

that I forget
to just enjoy myself.

* Set me free, oh *

I really am so new at this,

but every time
I get on that stage,

I get more confident,

I get more relaxed
because John continues

to affirm my natural voice.

I can't wait to keep showing
John who I am as an artist

and what I'm able to do.

* Closer to you *

You're gonna have
a tough call, John.

It's always tough,

but I want it to be tough...
Hi.

...and I want everybody
to get stolen.

Go out there
and just be your best self.

Let's do it.
Yay!

Zoe and Jackie
are my two youngest artists,

and I'm seeing growth in
both Zoe and Jackie.

It's gonna be
a difficult decision,

but I'm gonna allow
myself to be in the moment

and see who steps up
to the plate.

So good.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Singing "Love on the Brain,"
here is Jackie Romeo.

[ Cheers and applause ]

**

* And you got me like oh *

* What you want from me *

* What you want from me *

* I tried to buy
your pretty heart *

* But the price too high *

* Baby you got me like oh *

* You love when I fall apart *

* Fall apart *
Yeah.

* So you can put me together *

* And throw me
against the wall *

* Baby you got me like ah *

* Ah *

* Don't stop loving me *

* Loving me *
* Just start loving me *

* Loving me *
* Don't quit loving me *

* Loving me *

* And babe *

* I'm fist fighting with fire *

* Just to get close to you *

* Can we burn something baby *

* I could run for miles *

* Just to get a taste *

* Must be love on the brain *

Yeah, Jackie!
Yeah!

* That's got me
feeling this way *

* Feeling this way *

* It beats me black and blue *

* But it loves me so good *

* And I can't get enough *

* Must be love on the brain *

* And it keeps cursing my name *

* Cursing my name *

* No matter what I do *

* I'm no good without you *

* And I can't get enough *

* Must be love on the *

* Brain *

Hey, hey!

Yeah, Jackie!

Whoo!

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back
to the knockouts.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Let's go!

Now with "Cowboy Take Me Away,"

Here's Zoe Levert.

[ Cheers and applause ]

**

* I said I wanna
touch the earth *

* I wanna break it in my hands *

* I wanna grow something wild
and unruly *

* Oh, it sounds good
to me *

* Cowboy, take me away *

* Fly this girl
as high as you can *

* Into the wild blue *

* Set me free oh, I pray *

* Closer to heaven above *

* And closer to you *

* I wanna walk and not run *

* I wanna skip and not fall *

* I wanna look at the horizon *

* And not see a building
standing tall *

* I wanna be the only one *

* For miles and miles *

Yeah.
* Except for maybe you *

* And your simple smile *

* Oh, it sounds so good
to me, oh *

* Cowboy, take me away *

* Fly this girl
as high as you can *

* Into the wild blue *

* Set me free, oh, I pray *

* Closer to heaven above *

* And closer to you *

* Closer to you, oh *

* Closer to you, yeah *

Yeah, Zoe!

[ Chuckles ]

* Closer to you *

Yes!

Who-oa.

What a great job both
of you did.

Jackie, you've got
a wonderful voice.

Love the way
you commanded the stage.

Zoe, I love your tone
and I love the runs.

They're so effortless.
Thank you.

You just to them like, ah,
I did that.

[ Laughs ]

Zoe, you just have
an amazing control of pitch.

I think you're
going to be a star.

Thank you so much.

Jackie, absolutely sang
the mess out of that song.

Oh, my gosh.
I just have a new understanding
and respect for that song.

I mean, it was really cool
to see your artistry at work.

Thank you.

Would you like
to make a suggestion, Chance?

Being honest, no.
No, I want.

Okay.
Awesome, perfect.
Moving on.

Because they were
both so good.

Okay, okay.

Jackie, you just have
such a powerful voice,

such amazing control.
You were feeling it.

In that moment
you threw that mic stand,

I was like, "Yeah,
that's what I'm talking about."

That was dope.

You remind me a lot
of my sister, Gabby.

Whenever she starts to sing,
she's, like,

throwing stuff down
on the ground.

Zoe, you know
that your range is here,

and you just absolutely nail
it inside of your range.

You flip to the falsetto
at the right time.

I feel like we're watching
the butterfly moment

where you've come out
of the cocoon.

I'm not talking
about your outfit.

[ Laughter ]

You remind me so much
of Taylor Swift.

Yeah.
You are unapologetically
yourself, just like Taylor is.

I feel like we're watching
you kind of come into your own.

I would say Zoe.
John: Okay.

She's one of my favorite
of the competition so far.

Whew!
Daly: Thank you, coaches.

Buddy, it all comes down to you,
of course.

Jackie, I saw you really
embracing the energy of the song

and emotionally
connecting to it.

But you also knew when to
finesse the notes as well,

and it was very in control
the way

you handled the dynamics
of the song.

Thank you.

And, Zoe, I do feel
like everybody's watching you

continue to grow
and surprise us.

You sounded like a great artist
who needs to be heard.

Thank you so much.

John, who is the winner
of this knockout?

* I don't know
what I want to do *

* I don't know
what I want to do *

[ Dramatic music plays ]

The winner of this knockout...

**

...is Zoe.

Zoe moves on.
Congratulations.

John: Zoe, she's been kind
of an underdog.

She was a one-chair
turn in the blinds,

but she keeps rising
to the occasion,

and we're watching her blossom.

Oh, my God.
Great job.

I think Zoe's definitely
going to be a lovable artist

for our country fans.

So I was like,
we got to keep going.

Let's go, Zoe.

Zoe: I'm so excited.

I feel like I've really grown,

and I just can't wait to explore

new sides to my artistry
with John.

Coaches, let me remind you that
Jackie's available to steal.

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

You've been an
absolutely incredible coach.

Thank you so much.

Give it up for Jackie Romeo.

One more time, everybody.

Thank you.

Yeah!
Hold it, Jackie!

That's the sound of a steal!

I was hoping
that would happen.

From Queen Reba!
Let's go!

Reba: Jackie can sing country,

Jackie could sing anything
she wants

'cause she's that strong
of a singer.

I'm very excited we get to work
with her on the playoffs.

[ Laughs, sobbing ]

[ Laughs ]

I hope you're having fun.
I am.

Excellent.
Continue to have fun.

Absolutely.
I love you.

Thank you so much.
I love you, too.

Man: Thank you, Reba!

Thank you, thank you.

I love you, Reba!

Who said that?

[ Laughter ]
