Season 25 knockouts --
so many talented singers.

* Un-break my heart, oh, baby *

One of the best performances
on this TV show, period, ever.

John: It’s such a powerful
experience for so many artists,

and you really see them
coming into their own

in the knockouts,
and I love it.

This is my favorite part
of the show.

There’s a place for you
at Team Legend.

You can’t do that.

The knockouts
is super cutthroat.

Daly: We got a steal!
And now we've got a war.

It’s super important
to pick the right people

to move on to the playoffs.

I’m really in a pickle, Dan.

Dan: We’re looking for
our artists to step up

and show us that they’re ready

for the pressure
of the playoffs.

This is a very important part
of the competition.

The best kind of rises
to the top.

Here we are --
knockouts.

I love the knockouts, man.
I love it, too.

I do, too.
They're fun.
This is our first knockout.

So, are we going to be like --
it’s gonna be tough.

You're gonna love it, too.
There’s a lot of talent.

No saves this round, though.
No saves.

No saves.
Only steals, only theft.

And we had a great Mega Mentor.

Yeah.
Keith Urban.

You guys also had Keith Urban?

I thought he was only ours.

Oh, man.
I thought Keith Urban
was American.

[ Laughter ]

We’ve got Keith Urban here!

Oh, my God!

John: He’s prolific.

He’s been making great music
for many years.

He’s been a huge influence
on us

since the very beginning
of our career.

Keith has
so much experience.

He’s been on "The Voice"
in Australia.

He’s a walking Wikipedia
for country music.

Great to look at, too.

He’s obviously a legend.

He’s won so many awards,

collaborated
with so many people.

Keith: What I love
about "The Voice"...

This is fire.
...is the discovery...

No way!
...the journey,

watching an artist
go from this point

to this point to that point.

You can do runs
all day long.

You’re like
an Olympic skier, right?

I love that.

If you pace yourself
emotionally,

it’s gonna have more impact.

Reba: Yee-haw!
Keith: Yee-haw!

Thank you very much
for doing this.

Oh, thanks for having us
at your house, Reba.

[ Laughing ]
You’re very welcome.

Quite the electricity bill
you have.
I know, right?

"The Voice" is
a real family vibe.

It’s always been that way.

I love mentoring.

I love being able to offer

any advice
that might be helpful.

They've got a little miniature
of the big set.

Oh, yeah. This is nice.
That's beautiful.

I’ve known Keith forever.

Keith is a genius

with music, with lyrics,
with performance.

[ Laughs ].
Look at your fancy, big
Team Reba logo up there, Reba.

How about that?
Are you happy
with your team?

Every pairing I have,
I like both of them.

I’m nervous
about this knockout

because you are
freaking amazing.

You are, too!
But I’m excited
to share the stage.

I couldn’t even
sleep last night

'cause I was
thinking about --
Well, I slept.

[ Laughter ]

Asher and Tae.

Tae is country-soul.
Asher is R&B soul.

They’re going to blow you away.

Asher is a force of nature.

Stoic, huge voice.
Solid.

Alright.
Tae is a ball of energy.

And that smile of his --
like diamonds.

Here they come.

Oh, my God!

I know!
Reba McEntire.

Unbelievable.
No!

Keith freaking Urban!

I sung your song, y’all.

Four-time Grammy Award winner.
ACM Award winner.

Not only a magical musician
and a great singer,

but great to look at, too,
on the stage.
[ Laughs ]

It’s just crazy to see
such a pivotal person

that has changed the trajectory

of what country music
looks like.

You guys need to come
out of your shell more.
Yeah, exactly.

Yeah, a little more excitement.

A little more.
Okay. Okay.

The difference about
the knockout rounds

is that the artists
get to pick their own songs.

Who wants to go first?

I think I’m gonna go first.
Alright, Asher.

That's wonderful,
because you can tell a lot

about a person and their talent
by the songs they sing.

I’m going to sing "Unbreak
My Heart" by Toni Braxton.

Cool!
I just went
through a breakup.

I love to get on stage
and kind of be in character,

but this time,
there is no character.

It’s just me.
Oh, I love that.

This is my first time, like,
facing those emotions.

Yeah, music is
the best way to do it.

It’ll heal your heart.
It’ll help it.

Thank you.
Yeah.

Alright, we’re ready.

[ Exhales sharply ]

* Un-break my heart *

* Say you'll love me again *

Being with my partner
was everything.

To have that taken away
is gut-wrenching.

I chose my dreams
over my relationship.

I chose, and I lost.

But I feel like
I’ve gained everything.

* I just can’t go on *
Whoo!

Asher sang, and I was not
expecting that voice from him.

[ Vocalizing ]

Like, what is going on?

* Un-break my heart *
Such a unique timbre.

Aww!
That hurt, didn’t it?

Yes.
Yeah.

You got an amazing voice.
Thank you.

I think you’re in a really
unique position

to own it more
by doing less.

You don’t need all
your skill set to sing it.

You just need what’s going on
in your life right now.

Be still.
Nic does it all the time.

Nicole Kidman -- when
you watch her act, she’s still.

But you know what’s not?

Everything coming out
of her eyes.

Because you can
do runs all day long.

You’re like an Olympic skier,
right?

It’s so easy for you.
I love that.

You can take us to
the mountaintop at the end.

It’s so good.

But I think if you pace
yourself emotionally --
Okay.

...it’s going to have
more impact.

* Don’t leave me
in all this pain *

Tae: As I’m watching
Asher sing...

Oh, my gosh. Yeah.
...it’s kind of scary.

I’m not even going to lie.
He can belt.

But he also has
this baritone voice

that carries so much weight.

But I have to rise
to the occasion

and be like,
"It is what it is.

Let’s go. Let’s get it.
I got to eat."

[ Applause ]

Whew!

Oh, Asher, you got me.

I felt your heart breaking.

That’s what you want,
and you got it.

So, bravo.

Thank you so much, Reba.

I love watching you watch him.

I’m just like,
"Give me more."
[ Laughter ]

This is such a true emotion.

Oh, my gosh, Becky.
Beautiful.

Here we go.
Here we go.

Okay.
You got Mama Reba
over here crying.

My song is not
a crying song.

"Nothin' on You"
by Cody Johnson.

Cody grew up in the church,
and my dad is also a pastor,

so I want to bring that flair
where I have my gospel roots.

This song, the emotion
that he gives about his wife,

this could possibly talk
about my future wife.

This is going to be
a challenge for me,

because it’s very difficult
for me

to be vulnerable on stage.

* 'Cause when you got
nothin' on *

Growing up,
being a church,

my dad would always tell me,

"The people
that you’re singing to

have so much emotion.

So, why aren’t you,
like, actually

having emotion yourself?"

And I think a lot of it
had to do with

because I was picked on a lot.

"You're too short,"
or "You're too fat,"

or "You're this,"
or "You’re that."

I just kind of held it inside,

and it’s hard for me
to have emotion

and vulnerability
when I hit the stage.

* 'Cause I've seen
the mountains high *

Keith: Tae is awesome.

Equally great voice,
whole different thing,

much more country.

And he’s got gospel in there.

I thought, well, that’s legit
country singer right there.

* ...on you *
Reba: Oh, my gosh.

Tae, way to sing
your butt off, buddy.

Thank you. Yes, ma’am.

I loved your hand gestures.

You can preach
that even more.

Man, you lose yourself in it.

"I've got nothin',
I've got nothin',

nothin', nothin' on you."

You know what I mean?
Yes, sir.

Take ownership of it.
Okay.

You got the pipes
to support you, so why not?

And just have fun.
Thank you.

Alright, Asher, come on up.
Let’s visit.

Tae is incredibly vulnerable.

So, he has this persona

and this larger-than-life way
of protecting

all that sensitivity in him.

If he actually lets that out,
he’ll be in full flight.

Remember, each coach
gets a steal.

You never know
what’s going to happen, alright?

On Asher’s song,
I want the gut-wrenching pain

that he’s feeling
while he’s singing this song.

Love you, Mama Reba.

On Tae's,
I got chill bumps.

That’s the sign of a good singer

that can make the audience
feel something.

I don’t care what it is.

I love you, too,
Mama Reba.
I love you, too.

I have no idea

how I’m going to make
the choice.

Daly: Ladies and gentlemen,
say hi to your four

playoff pass artists up here.

[ Cheers and applause ]

They were sent directly
to the playoffs

by their coaches.

How are you guys
feeling tonight? You good?

Together: So good!

The knockouts start right now.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Tae's getting pumped.

Get him, Asher!

With "Unbreak My Heart,"
here’s Asher Havon.

[ Cheers and applause ]

**

* Don’t be in all this pain *

* Don't leave me
out in the rain *

* Come back
and bring back my smile *

* Come and take
these tears away *

Whoo!

* I need your arms
to hold me now *

* The nights are so unkind *

* Bring back those nights
when I held you beside me *

* Un-break my heart *

* Say you'll love me again *

* Undo this hurt you caused
when you walked out the door *

* And walked out of my life *

* Un-cry these tears *

* I cried so many nights *

* Un-break my heart *

Sing, Asher!

* Don't leave me
in all this pain *

* Don’t leave me
out in the rain *

* Bring back those nights
when I held you beside me *

* Un-break my heart *

* Say you'll love me again *

* Undo this hurt you caused
when you walked out the door *

* And walked out of my life,
my, my, my, my, my life *

* Un-break my heart, oh, baby *

* Without you,
I just can't go on *

* Yeah *

* Un-b-b-b-b-break my heart *

Sing, Asher!
Whoo-hoo!

Oh, my God!
Oh, my God!

[ Cheers and applause ]
Wow!

Come on, now!

Let's go, Tae!
Come on, Tae!

Now singing "Nothin' on you,"
here’s Tae Lewis.

[ Cheers and applause ]

**

* Wearing your black dress *

* Red shoes, makeup,
perfume, and diamonds *

* 'Cause you always impress *

* Turn heads the second
you walk through the door *

Alright.

* 'Cause you're like a real life
work of fine art *

* Baby, you’re priceless *

* And I just wanna get home *

* Get that black dress
down on the floor *

* 'Cause when you got
nothin' on *

* There ain't nothin' wrong *

* 'Cause lovin' you
all night long's *

* All I wanna do *

Alright.

* 'Cause I've seen
the mountains high *

* I've sailed the ocean blue *

* When you got nothin' on *

* Ain't nothin'
got nothin' on you *

* Yeah *

* 'Cause I've seen
the mountains high *

* I've sailed the ocean blue *

* When you got nothin' on *

* Ain't nothin'
ain't nothin' on you, no *

* When you got nothin' on *

* Ain't nothin'
ain't nothin' on you *

[ Cheers and applause ]

Asher and Tae,
that was just so raw.

One of the best performances
on this TV show, period, ever.

You're just
an incredible talent.

You had a crazy run at the end
that reminded me of Rance Allen.

You could tap into
all these different spaces

'cause your range is so big.
Thank you.

So, at some point I’m going to
figure out a way to steal you.

[ Laughter ]

Tae, everybody got to see you
rise to an occasion.

It’s about your voice as much
as it is about star power.

I want to just say
congratulations

to both of y’all.
Thank you.
Thank you.

Dan: I’ll start with Asher.

You exercised so much
restraint in that.

I felt like you
were doing your thing.

Then you opened up your arms
at the perfect time.

And the runs were
so intentional, so accurate.

Thank you.
It was from your heart.

And it just --
it went straight to our souls,

and it was unbelievable.
Thank you.

Shay: Tae, you really stepped up
in that moment.

You kind of took it
to that next level.

I used to watch this show
called "Bonanza" growing up,

and I feel like you got
this little Joe Cartwright --

like, he always had his hat on
a little sideways.

Just swagger.

Just, like, your
swagger is so heavy

that you had to lean
a little bit to one side.

Just a little bit.
Great job, guys.

That was incredible, man.
Thank you.

Thank you.

John: For whoever
Reba does not choose,

there’s a place for you
at Team Legend.

You can’t do that.

I have been in this show
for nine seasons now.

I can do what I want.
You're cheating!

That is disqualification,
right?

[ Laughter ]

Anyway.

Asher, I just feel like
your presence is so regal.

I was like, "This is King Asher
up on this stage."

Almost never seen an artist
be able to sing that low

with that much power.

Thank you.
After that, like,
what do you do, Tae?

And what you did
was just go out there

and sing the hell
out of that song.

Yeah.
[ Laughs ]

You guys should be
so proud of yourselves.

Thank you, Coaches.

Alright, Reba, what did you
think of the knockout?

You guys give me chills,
make me cry.

I felt like a proud mama
sitting here.

You both got so much soul.

I mean, it comes
from your toenails

when you guys start singing.
[ Laughter ]

Asher, you open your mouth
and this stuff comes out.

Like, where did that come from?
And I’m in awe.
Wow.

And then, Tae, you come up here,
and you’re a ball of energy.

You’re a giver.
Yes, ma'am.

You just exude "I want to be
your best friend."

That's right.
I love that.

Reba, this is a tough one
for you, I know.

Who is the winner
of this knockout?

The winner of this knockout...

...is Asher.

Asher, congratulations!

You're moving on
to the playoffs!

Reba: Asher and Tae
are so talented.

I did choose Asher.

Something about him
is different than anybody.

I love you so much!
I love you, too.

He looks like he’s fixing
to say a sentence,

and he goes up on this run
that's incredible.

I definitely think
Asher could win.

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

Tae, anything you want to say
to Reba?

Reba, I’m gonna miss you.

[ Laughs ]
But...

Daly: We've got a steal!

Oh!

Whoo!
John: Damn!

Let's go, baby!

Come on home.

All the other coaches
used their steal for Tae!

Come on.
Okay!

And now we've got a war!

I was the first one
to push the steal button,

but I was also
the only other coach

in the blind auditions
who turned for you.

Hey, some things need
to be left in the past.

There’s a home for you --
Isn't he disqualified?

...on Team Legend, Tae.
Thank you. Thank you.

On my team, I might
give you some challenges.

A little bit of R&B,
a little bit of stuff

to just, you know,
have fun with it.

The whole point of the show
is to platform you.

Whatever happens,
I would love to coach you.

Thank you, brother.

We could really help you
kind of get to that next level

and find exactly who it is
that, you know, you want to be.

You have one of my favorite
tenor country voices

that I’ve heard
in a long, long time.

And there’s no better person
to learn that from

than possibly the greatest
tenor country singer

of all time,
Mr. Shay Mooney, right?

Well, thank you, Coaches.
Tae --
One more thing.

...you certainly have a big --
oh, John.

John: One more thing, Carson.
Oh, of course he does.

A clear choice could be let me
go with a country group here.

But they also have
plenty of country artists

on their team as well.

I think that is a key thing
to think about.

Strategy.
I see what you did there.

That stumped him.
Look at him.

Shay: I don’t know of any
country artists

who is like, "I think
I'm going to move to Vermont

to do this country thing."

I feel like
every country artist

comes to Nashville
because that’s where it starts.

If you want to do
country music,

I think you know
the right choice.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Tae, who do you pick
as your coach?

John: Come on.
This is
a hard decision, y’all.

Come on, Tae.

But...I'm gonna go with...

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back.

Tae, who do you pick
as your coach?

Come on, Tae.
Come on.

This is
a hard decision, y'all.

Come on, Tae.

But...

I’m gonna go with Dan + Shay.

Let's go!

Shay: You know, Chance, John,
it was so sweet of you guys

to, you know, try to steal
Tae from us.

I’m so glad!
But Tae knew exactly
where he wanted to be.

Team Dan + Shay,
Team Country.

Sorry, fellas. Tae is
Team Dan + Shay all the way.

Let’s go.

Oh, man!
John: How many times

did you utter the word
"country" in that pitch?

As many times
as I possibly could.

You’re like, "Country. Country.
Nashville. Country. Country.

Nashville. Country."
Country music artists.

I'm about to go to playoffs!

What the heck?!

Let's go!
Let's go!

Come on now!

Dan: Oh, my goodness.

Come on, baby!
Look at this guy.

Look at you guys.
How are you, brother?

How are you, Dan?
So good to see you.

Dan: Having Keith Urban here
as a Mega Mentor

is so special for us.

We grew up listening
to Keith Urban.

He’s one of the reasons

that we fell in love
with country music.

Do you guys have to sit
in the order of Dan + Shay?

Always.
That’s part
of the contract?

We’ll forget if we don’t.
We will. Exactly.

He has won Grammys.

He’s won every award
that you could think of.

He’s one of the coolest
guitar players in the world,

and we’re so grateful that he’s
going to be this Mega Mentor.

Thinking back, it feels like
yesterday when we first met you.

And you came up and said
the kindest things to us.

This was right after
we put out our first single.

And you said you love
the song "19 You + Me."

And I was like --
I carried that with me

the rest of our career, man.

That meant a lot.
Well, you guys
are great writers.

And that was what --
Scott Hendricks called me,

and he goes, "Man, you got to
hear these guys' songs."

That’s awesome.
That's awesome.

Should we meet your team?
Let’s do it, man.

I’m stoked.
Let’s get after it.

Ah, I love you so much.

I’m so excited.
It's gonna be great.

This one’s gonna be good.

We got Frank,
and we got Olivia.

We stole Olivia
from Team Legend,

which felt really good.

Daly: Whoa! We got a steal!

Dan: Olivia’s got
an old soul vibe to her.

She loves a lot
of classic music.

But we love Frank, too.
Man, Frank is a super talent.

What did he do
for the blind auditions?

He did "Love in the Dark"
by Adele.

And then he did Lady Gaga,
"A Million Reasons."

Like, the two hardest singers
ever to cover.
Oh, cool!

And he just crushed them.
Wow.

Obviously they're picking
their own songs.

That says a lot about them.
So, I’m excited.

Should we get them in here?
Yeah, let’s say hi.

-Hello!
-Whoo-hoo-hoo!

That's Keith Urban.
Shay: Come on down!

Dan: Come on.

Frank: It’s like,
oh, my goodness,

my dad's gonna scream
when he finds out

that I’m, like,
in front of Keith Urban.

My dad’s a huge fan of him.

-Hey, how are you?
-So good to see you.

Olivia:
He’s got a bunch of hits.

Me and Frank were both so giddy.
We couldn’t stop laughing.

We were just like, "Oh, my God,
no way. He’s an icon."

Such an honor
that you guys stole me.

I feel like you’re gonna have
so much great stuff to say

and help me through it.
We have great stuff to say

because we have
Keith Urban here.

Oh, please.
We actually have him
here today.

It's an unbelievable
honor for us

and really cool
for everybody.

I felt like it gave us
an upper hand,

being part of Dan + Shay,

because we get like
three brains in one.

Tell me about the song
that you chose.

The song is called "El Triste"
by José José.

I competed in another TV show
singing this song.

And online, I was getting
cyber-bullied a lot

because I was very feminine.

I was still, back then,
in the closet.

Now I’m, like,
ready to sing the song

the way I want to,
like, present.

There you go.
Shay: I love it.

You know who you are.

That’s such an important thing.

* El triste *

* Todos dicen que soy *

Not only does this song
allow me to be able

to present my heritage
and my roots,

but also this song just holds
a lot of memories for me.

It has been with me
throughout the process

of my self-identity journey.

I like being different.
That’s what makes me special.

I’m also able to show that
we queer Mexican Latino boys

can make it,
as anyone else can.

* Ohhhh *

Keith: Well, Frank's
a good example

of someone who's got star power.

If there was 10 people
on that stage,

you’d be looking at Frank.

Oh, my goodness.

Frank, can you tell us
a little bit

about what the song is about?

The song talks a lot
about how grief

is able to help you,
like, rejuvenate.

So, with the theme,
I sense that

there’s a triumphant
victory in it as well.
Uh-huh.

I should be able
to see your face

and have a good feeling what
that song is probably about.

And I wasn't quite sure.
I agree with Keith.

I feel like that triumph --

you almost went there
a couple times,

but you didn’t quite go
all the way way there.

And do it unapologetically.

Yeah,and I think
when you’re directing the band,

almost, like, think of, like,
a Freddie Mercury kind of moment

where you turn around
and you point

when the drums hit.

That kind of confidence
really plays well

with the message
of the song.

Music is a universal language.
Let that emotion shine.

And, man, I think it's going to
be a really great performance.

Thank you so much.

Good job. Well done.
Yay!

-Alright.
-Olivia.

We’ve got "Tiny Dancer"
by Elton John.
Olivia: Yes, sir.

I wanted to sort of, like,
reel it back a little bit,

have it be more intimate.

I love it. It’s one of my
favorite songs of all time.

Let’s hear it.
Oh, God.
I got to do it justice.

* Blue jean baby *

From my understanding,
this song was written

sort of the first time

Elton had come to L.A.
in, like, the early '70s.

The song is just about embodying

that new sense of, like,
excitement.

I’m sort of at that same point
in my life.

It’s inspiring to me.

* Hold me closer, tiny dancer *

I feel like this is
the most authentic

I’ve ever felt
in my artist journey,

and I really just want
to prove to Dan + Shay

that they stole me
for a reason.

I want to win
this knockout so bad.

Dan: Melodically,
I feel like this song

is really cool
for her voice,

and I think this song will be
a bit of a stretch for her,

a bit of a challenge,
but I think that’s great.

It allows her the opportunity
to really step up.

I think Olivia is going
to crush it on "Tiny Dancer."

Yeah!
Thanks.

That was cool. I’ve never heard
you sing that low before.

That was awesome to hear
that register of your voice.

I’m probably going to throw
a big spanner in the works,

but I think you should do it
in a higher key

and do the highest note
falsetto if you have to,

because 80, 90% of the song

is going to be in a way
better key for you.
Totally.

You can’t channel Elton
in your head singing that song

because he didn’t do it
in that key,

which allows you
to now be Olivia,

versus just replicate
the record in your head.

Yeah, absolutely.
Shay: You know who you are.

Show us your side.

And even when
you’re telling the story,

put yourself in the song

and make sure that
you’re so comfortable

with the message of the song

and tell the story
that you want to tell,

and it’ll be believable.

Hypothetically, sing
* Blue jean baby *

Oh, that?
Can you sing to that?

* Blue jean baby *

Yeah, that’s it.
* L.A. lady *

That was really surreal.
Like, Keith Urban is helping me.

The song is just way
more energetic,

hitting stratospheric levels,
so I’m excited.

Okay. I’m in.
Yeah.

Okay, sweet.
I buy it.

That, like,
was a game changer.

Great call, Keith.
Awesome.

Shay: Olivia, I know
that she knows

that the stakes are high.

We stole her
from John’s team.

This is her second chance.

The friendships
that are being formed

through this show
is just such a unique --

We’re, like,
the mullet queens.
We’re the mullet queens
of the season.

I love it, man.

Shay: I think the winner
of this knockout is going to be

whoever is really going to put
themselves out there the most

and lay it all on the line.

Looking good.
[ Cheers and applause ]

Let’s go, Frank.
Let’s go, Frank.

With "El Triste,"
here’s Frank Garcia.

[ Cheers and applause ]

**

That's what's up.
Wow!

I really loved
both song choices.

Frank, your voice is so rich.
Thank you.

The depth coming from
your baritone is just so robust.

Thank you.
Olivia, all the different ways

you went in and out
of your chest voice,

your head voice, and even that
little crackle you were doing.

This one’s tough
because I would say

I liked Olivia’s performance
just slightly more.

Thank you so much.

So many talented people
on this show.

Frank, your singing
was wonderful.

I couldn’t understand
a word you said, though.

[ Laughter ]
That’s an old joke.
I’ll use it forever.

You had your choreography
down, right.

You’re so talented.
Thank you.

And, Olivia,
I love this song.

I’m a huge fan of your voice
and this performance.

It didn’t let me down.
You did a great job.

Thank you so much.

I'd have to go with Olivia
on this one.

Frank, I feel like every time

that you come out on stage,
you wow everybody.

Thank you.
I don’t even know
how to describe your style.

It’s so, like, a very robust,
strong, like, sound to it,

but it’s also, like, gently
dramatic, if that makes sense.

It’s like a telenovela.
[ Laughs ]

It was very close.

I would probably lean
towards Frank.

Thank you, thank you.

Thank you, Coaches.

Alright, Dan + Shay,
it all comes down to you guys.

Dan: I’ll start with you, Frank.
I was blown away by that.

Your performances
are always very dramatic

to me in the best way.

You sell it
with your presence.

You were working the stage.

Olivia, I feel like that came

such a long way
from rehearsals.

Shout-out Keith Urban.
Shout-out Keith Urban.

Doesn’t he smell so good too?
[ Laughter ]

Oh, my gosh, he does.

You guys are obsessed
with cologne.

If you would have stopped
to smell him,

you would get it.

Stop and smell the Keith.

Maybe it’s Nicole Kidman.

[ Laughter ]

Shay: Frank, I’m super proud.

I can’t speak Spanish,
but I didn’t need to.

That’s the beauty in it.

I felt it,
you know what I mean?

Thank you.
That’s all that matters.

Olivia.
I mean, changing the key,

it really turned
into something very special.

I’m really in a pickle, Dan,
I don’t know.

Daly: Obviously a very
difficult decision for you.

Who is the winner
of this knockout?

[ Audience shouts ]

Man.

The winner of this knockout
is Olivia.

[ Cheers and applause ]

There’s something special
about what Olivia did.

Her voice just inherently has
a bit of a retro thing to it.

She was spot on
with all her notes.

She showed us that
she was very coachable

and that she was ready
to go to that next level.

I’m going to the playoffs!
[ Squeals ]

Daly: Give it up
for Frank Garcia,

ladies and gentlemen!

So proud of you, man.

I’ll be watching you, man.
We'll be watching you.

You’re gonna do so good.
We’ll be following you.

Oh, that was tough.
He’s so good.

Shay: Yeah, he is.

Daly: Coming up...

* Fooled around
and fell in love *
Yeah!

I'm looking at you, Reba.

Daly: And later...

That’s the sound of a steal!

This guy is devious!

[ Laughter ]

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly:
Welcome back to the knockouts.

Another day at the office,
John.

Good to see you, sir.
Good to see you.

Our Mega Mentor this season
is the great Keith Urban,

and he’s a real musician,
so he gets the intricacies

of arranging
and getting the right key,

all these things
that our artists need.

Let’s go!
Let's do it.

These two artists, one of them
I stole from Team Chance.

Oh, did you now?
Yes.

John: Val is wonderful.
She was a four chair turn.

She’s just got range,
power, clarity.

And Nathan,
he’s a wonderful singer.

He’s kind of got
a soul, funk vibe.

He actually sings
on cruise ships, too,

so that’s his day job right now,
and we’ll see how it goes.

Excellent.

Are you ready?
Let’s go.

Hello.
Look who’s here.

We have
a Mega Mentor.

I was super stoked when
I saw the Mega Mentor.

It’s definitely a little
added pressure

to sing in front of Keith Urban.

So, Nathan, what song
did you choose?

"Fooled Around
and Fell in Love."

Right on.
Elvin Bishop.
* Fooled around *

Come on!
* Fell in love *
Okay.

I got asked to sing this song
with Elvin Bishop

one time on
the Grammys.

We get to the rehearsal
and I’m singing a verse,

and I go, "You want
to take the second verse?"

And he looks at me,
he goes,

"Oh, you don’t
want to hear mesing.

Mickey Thomas
sang the song.

He’s the singer,
but I just wrote it."

Okay, good to know.
That was a good fact.

An Urban Legend,
you might say.

No. [ Laughs ]

We're a duo.

This is just a given.
We have to be a duet now.

I know. We have to
have a group.

Nathan, you’ve just
always loved the song?

My grandpa and I saw a movie,

and this song was playing
in the soundtrack of that movie

before he passed.
Right.

So every time I hear it,
I think of him.

* Then the grass *

* Got a little greener
on the other side *

There’s a lot of reasons why
this is the song I chose.

The two main reasons is
to pay homage to my grandpa,

but also show love
to my girlfriend.

It’s taken 27 years
until I’ve met the person

that I want to be with.

I traveled, working on cruises,

and I’ve had the privilege
of meeting people

and dating just
around the world.

So the lyrics mean something
to me, legitimately.

* Fooled around
and I fell in love *

When I say I fooled around,

I had some fun
and I fell in love.

And I’m on ships
singing all the time

with my girlfriend,
loving my life.

But it’s preparation
for an opportunity like this,

and I’m glad that she encouraged
me and supported me to be here.

* Yeahhh *

John: Nathan, oh,
he picked the perfect song.

That kind of classic soul,

that kind of Sam Cooke,
Otis Redding, that kind of vibe.

And I think this song
is perfect for him.

* Yeahhh *

[ Cheering ]

I feel like I need to send money
somewhere in a second.

This is like,
you’re preaching here.

That was so good.

Hey, thank you guys.

I think the key will be
just getting in that character

and like, really embracing
it physically too.

The dichotomy about
being a performer on stage

is being completely present and
completely lost in the moment.

I’d always go to
the story --

the story, a place,
a color, a person's smells.

I can see it in my head
as I’m singing it,

so it’s very real to me.

* I fooled around
and fell in love *

I love when he does
the soft notes.
Oh, yeah.

Keith: Nathan, he can
do a lot with his voice.

Sometimes that’s something
you got to really watch for,

because it can get
in the way of the emotion.

But I thought he did a
really, really good job of it.

* Yeah *

[ Cheering ]

I felt your character
too.

I saw you even finding people
to sing to

in the imaginary
crowd.

It’s so good.
Yes.

Do that.
Thank you guys.
Thank you.

Alright,
Val T. Webb.

I really want to win this
knockout and go to the playoffs.

There's just a lot to learn,

and I don’t want to
stop learning quite yet.

What song
did you pick?

I picked "Sweet Love"
by Anita Baker.

Ooh, Anita.
Yes.

It’s not easy to sing
Anita Baker,

but if you do it right,

you’re gonna make
the audience very happy.

The lyrics say, "With all
my heart, I love you, baby."

* Never leave *

For me, this is
a beautiful picture painted

of how I actually feel
about my husband.

* I’m in love *

It’s an incredible love story.

My husband is also
a singer-musician.

He understands the sacrifice

sometimes that having a career
in music entails.

You can sing,
Val.
Wow.

I wonder if we should
slow it down a hair.

I just want to luxuriate
in your voice a little bit more.

Ooh. Thank you.

Yeah, I think it’ll just
let you air it out a little bit.

Yeah.
Yeah.

* And you will see,
my arms *

Keith: Anita Baker is
tough singer’s territory,

but she was
really good with it.

There’s a lot of emotion
in the song,

and that was a good call,
to give her a bit more space.

Woo!

You got to really
breathe your way through it,

support every note.

Even at the end, when you’re
going from head voice

into that major seven
in real voice.

I feel like you’re nervous
about hitting that,

but I feel like
you can float through there

with a lot more confidence.

Okay.
Alright?

Thank you.
Fantastic.

Wow, you picked some
good singers, John.

Oh, man.
I’m lucky.

This is gonna be
a tough choice.

Both of these guys are pros.

I know they’re gonna
hit their notes,

but I want to know
who makes me feel something,

and that’s who
I’m going to choose.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Y'all look good!
You look good!

[ Cheering ]

With "Fooled Around
and Fell in Love,"

here’s Nathan Chester!

**

* I must've been through
about a million girls *

* I'd love 'em, and
I'd leave 'em alone *

Yeah!

* I didn't care how much
they cried, no, sir *

* Their tears left me
cold as a stone *

* But then I fooled around
and fell in love *

* I fooled around
and fell in love *

* I fooled around
and fell in love *

* Fooled around
and fell in love *

* It used to be when I'd see
a girl that I liked *

* I'd get out my book
and write down her name *

I'm lookin' at you, Reba.

* But when the grass *

* Got a little greener
on the other side *

* I'd just tear out that page *

* But then I fooled around
and fell in love *

* I fooled around,
ohhh *

* I fooled around
and fell in love *

* I fell in love,
yes, I did *

* Since I met you, baby *

* I been in love
with you, baby *

* I fell in love *

* Yeahhhh *

[ Cheers and applause ]

Yes!

**

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back.

Now with "Sweet Love,"
here's Val T. Webb.

**

* With all my heart,
I love you, baby *

* Stay with me
and you will see *

* My arms will hold you,
baby *

* Never leave, 'cause, baby,
I believe I'm in love *

* Sweet love *

* Hear me callin' out
your name *

* I feel no shame *

* I'm in love, sweet love *

* Don't you ever go away *

* It'll always be this way *

* There's no stronger love
in this world *

* Oh, baby, no *

* You're my man,
I'm your girl *

* I'll never go, wait and see,
can't do wrong *

* Don't you know this is
where you belong? *

* Ohh, ooh *

* Sweet love *

* Hear me calling out
your name *

* I feel no shame *

* I'm in love *

* Sweet love *
Wow.

* Don't you ever go away *

* Oh, oh, oh *

* Give me your sweet love *

Hey!

* Sweet love *

* You give me your sweet love *

Ohh!

* Sweet loooove *

* Ooh *

* Sweet *

* Loooove *

[ Cheers and applause ]

Yes.

Just want to
shake your hand.

I didn't do anything.

It's crazy,
they're so good.

This is my favorite
part of the show.

Nathan, I was blown away
by your tone.

Crisp and clear.
It’s magical.

And I liked you
singing to me, too.

That was good.

Thank you.

And Val, well,

you took us
to church.

That range you have,
whew.

Thank you.

John, I’m absolutely
no help with you.

I’d take both of them.

Oh, my goodness.

Oh , my God.

Chance: Nathan,
that was incredible.

The energy and confidence
that you have

when you’re on stage
is magnetic.

It’s not that I’m super
familiar with the song,

but I like this song now.

I’m probably going to get it.

He made you a fan.

Shout out
to Elvin Bishop.

Shout out to Elvin Bishop,
as one does.

Val, when it first started off,
there were a couple

of what felt like pitch issues.

But you have
a very strong jazz influence,

it seems sometimes,
with your choices.

It just makes it
all the more beautiful.

Alright.

Nathan, I just love
you getting down there,

working it, man,
working Queen Reba.

Shay: Val, your voice is
beautiful. It’s so powerful.

It’s so elegant.
I got lost in that performance.

I’m really glad that I’m not
John Legend right now.

And I never say that. I always
usually want to be John.

No, stop it.

There’s just
something that really,

really moved me
from beginning to end

about Nathan’s
performance,

and I think maybe
I would give him the edge.

Daly: Thank you, coaches.

Alright, John,
it all comes down to you.

Give us some thoughts first.

Val, your highs
were so high.

It was so stunning.

It was some of the best moments
I’ve seen on this stage.

And then Nathan,
it felt cinematic,

the way you delivered
the performance,

because it felt like
we were kind of in a movie

about that era of music,

and you were playing
this amazing character

that you understood
really powerfully.

Thank you.

Daly: John, with such high
praise for both of your artists,

I think everybody
is dying to know

who is the winner
of this knockout.

The winner of
this knockout...

is Nathan.

Nathan,
congratulations!

You're moving on
to the playoffs!

John:
Nathan picked the perfect song

that really embodies
the kind of style of music

that he wants to bring back.

It had power, but it also had
finesse in the right moments.

He’s going to be formidable
throughout this competition.

Give it up for Val T. Webb
one more time,

ladies and gentlemen.

You’re amazing,
Val.

Dan: This is our first time
doing this, Season 25.

These performances
are blowing my mind.

The talent level
is just insane.

I really liked
Nathan’s performance.

I’d listen to that album,
for sure.

**

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly:
Welcome back to the knockouts.

Bryan!
John.

Now, I’ve never had
a playoff pass before,

and you’re just
sitting there watching

all your fellow
team members.

Yeah.
What does it feel like?

It’s been
the most awesome day.

Do you miss
performing out there?

Or are you like, I’m just happy
I don’t have to deal

with the stress of
this round?

Uh, a little of both.

I mean, I really would have
loved to smell Keith’s cologne.

I’m glad
I’m still around for you.

I can’t wait to hear

what you do
in the playoffs.

It’s going to be so fun.
I can’t wait either.

Chance: Keith, I’m so happy
to have you on the show, man.

Thanks, Chance. How do
you feel about your team?

My team is
all winners.

You’re not biased,
obviously.
Yeah, no, no.

Chance: For knockouts,
we got Keith Urban,

an icon of a country star.

This is a
incredible gift,

that they’re going to get,
to just hear from you.

And I don’t know
if you have this,

but you give advice to someone
and you’re driving home

and you’re like, "I should
probably do that myself."

Yeah.

I learn so much
just being on this show.

He’s going to bring
a lot of experience.

He’s going to be
helping my team.

I think if we get past

the like, nervous part of it,
it’s not that bad.

Dani: It’s just our famous coach
and his famous mentor

on a stage with cameras.

Let’s bring them in.

Okay.

Hey.

Hey, come on in.
[ Laughs ]

When I saw Keith Urban,

I was honestly, like,
giggling uncontrollably.

How are you,
Dani?

And he smells so good.

Warm vanilla. He does.

Is that weird to say?

I'm gonna go first.
Okay.

I put Serenity
and Dani together.

They're both
four-chair turns.

They both kind of have,
like, a pop background,

Even though Serenity
is sixteen,

she’s very mature and
professional in how she sings.

I think it’s going to be
a good matchup.

Chance: What song
are you gonna sing?

"Jaded" by Miley Cyrus.

Ooh.
Oh, good song.

I’m just excited to kind of,
like, work the stage.

I’m gonna need
some pointers on that.

I have, like, a very
stiff hand syndrome.

You have a what?
A stiff hand syndrome?

My hand.

Every time
I watch the videos,

I’m, like, doing this.

I want to see
the stiff hand, then.

Me, too.

Why did I say that?

* I’m sorry that you're jaded *

My best friend,

she would always play the
"Bangerz" record by Miley Cyrus.

She passed away about five years
ago in a boating accident.

I’m super excited
to dedicate a song

to her in like, a fun way.

She always believed in me
more than I believed in myself,

and I feel like her
passing kind of

was like that fire
under my butt to,

like, actually live
the life that I want.

Chance: I think what really
makes Dani's voice so unique

is it does have
a lot of character to it.

There’s a little bit of rasp,

but she also has
a soulfulness to her

that I think is
what makes pop stars.

* Jaded *

Yeah!
I did like this.

When you were asking about
working the stage,

decide exactly where your focus
is going to be,

if it’s going to be on me
on the day of,

or a specific side
of the crowd,

and that’ll kind of help
map out your movements.

It’s a great song choice,

but because it
matches your tone,

it’s almost like
it’s too Miley, right?

I’m waiting to discover
who you are.

Any of those times,
I think that

you can own
the phrasing a little bit.

I think you can
tell the story better.

Thank you.

I think it’s time
for Serenity.

What song are you
gonna sing?

"Unfaithful" by Rihanna.

Oh, I can’t wait for her
to see this. This is awesome.

I’m excited to
hear you.

* Story of my life *

Keith: Serenity is really bold,
because to be 16 and tackle

that Rihanna song shows me
who she wants to be.

I know about punching
above my weight.

I think I’ve
done that my whole life.

But that’s how
you are always reaching.

That’s a great way to be.

Serenity: "Unfaithful" is
about a love triangle

and going for
the better man.

It's not easy
let someone down,

but you have to do it
for self-respect.

I channel that
in the way of,

I know my standards
and my worth,

and I want to
have a successful life.

Rihanna is one of
the biggest people

to be known in R&B

and the genre
that want to fit into.

* Whoa *

One,
you smashed it,

so let me start off
by saying that.

Thank you.

A lot of the runs that you’re
doing where you’re breaking,

if you could just make
those in the slides.

Especially when you’re
doing transitions that are

such big
drops and jumps.

Yeah.
There's
a big note

that you sing early on
in the song.

* I don't want to
do this anymore *
Right.

* Oh, I don't wanna * --
Even if you did that,

you have a chance to kind
of connect them a little bit.

A lot of the coaches, in
battles, they all commented

on the raw emotion
of your performance.

I think you definitely
want to lean into that.

Alright, Dani,
can you come back up?

Dani: So good.

Dani, she really surprised me
with her range

when she really went up there.

And Serenity, her control
is really in her lower register.

It’s not something
everybody could do.

The main thing is, I don’t have
a save or a playoff pass.

We only get one steal.

It’s really cutthroat
at this point.

No.

Get all the hugs in
now, right?

[ Cheers and applause ]

With "Jaded,"
Here’s Dani Stacy.

**

* I don't wanna call
and talk too long *

* I know it was wrong,
but never said I was sorry *

**

* Now I've had time
to think it over *

* We're much older
but the bone's too big to bury *

* Oh, isn't it a shame
that it ended like that? *

* Said goodbye forever,
but you never came back *

* We went to Hell,
but we never came back *

* I'm sorry that you're jaded *

* I could've taken you places *

* You're lonely now
and I hate it *

* I'm sorry that you're jaded *

* I won't lie,
it won't be easy *

* When somebody new's
on your body *

* I'll change my number
but keep your T-shirt *

* I don't mind it's torn up
and faded *

* I'm sorry that you're jaded *

* I could've
taken you places *

* You're lonely now
and I hate it *

* I hate it *

* I'm sorry that you're jaded *

* Jaded *

* I'm sorry that you're jaded *

* Oh, no *

* I'm sorry that you're jaded *

[ Cheers and applause ]

I love that song.

**

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back to the
knockouts at Universal Studios.

Now with "Unfaithful,"
here's Serenity Arce.

**

* Story of my life,
searching for the right *

* But it keeps avoiding me *

* Sorrow in my soul 'cause
it seems that wrong *

* Really loves my company *

* I say I won't be long, just
hanging with the girls *

* A lie I didn't have to tell *

* Because we both know
where I'm about to go *

* And we know it very well *

* 'Cause I know that
he knows I'm unfaithful *

* And it kills him inside *

* To know that I am
happy with some other guy *

* I can see him dying *

*I don't wanna
do this anymore *

* I don't wanna be
the reason why *

* Every time
I walk out the door *

* I see him die
a little more inside *

* I don't wanna
hurt him anymore *

* I don't wanna
take away his life *

* I don't wanna be
a murderer *

* Oh, ohh *

* I don't wanna
do this anymore *

* I don't wanna be
the reason why *

* Every time I
walk out the door *

* I see him die
a little more inside *

* I don't wanna
hurt him anymore *

* I don't wanna
take away his life *

* I don't wanna be
a murderer *

* No, no, no *

* A murderer *

[ Cheers and applause ]

Whoa!

Y'all are awesome.

Dani, you showcased
something in your voice

that I thought
was really special,

and made it stand out
in a big way.

That lower register
in the beginning of the song

was really cool,
and then you really do have

a lot of power whenever you hit
that higher register.

Serenity,
you’re 16 years old.

You sang that with
so much conviction

that I felt like I was listening
to someone who had been through,

like, three divorces.

It was unbelievable.

A lot of drama in this
16-year-old's life.

If I had to choose one,
I would probably say Serenity,

because I just man,
it was phenomenal.

Dani, I feel you didn’t
all the way, like,

sell your passion
about the song,

but you sounded
so good.

Thank you.
Your voice sounded
amazing.

And then Serenity,

this was not as accurate
of a performance

as you normally give.

This was a little
pitchier for me,

but I also just really
love Serenity’s voice,

and I’ve loved her throughout
the competition, so...

Thank you.

The thing that’s
really important, Dani,

is to connect
with your audience.

When you connect
with your audience,

you’ve given them
so much more of yourself

than just
your beautiful voice.

Serenity,
you did do that.

Both of your vocals
are really stellar.

Great job.

Thank you, coaches.

Alright, buddy, give us
some thoughts on the knockout.

Dani, you are
a talented vocalist.

I felt like you had
a lot of passion on stage.

I really wished you had tried

to do a little bit
more with the song.

And Serenity,

you were willing
to take a lot of risks,

but in comparison
to your past performances,

it was definitely
not as technically solid.

Tough decision, Chance.

Who’s the winner
of this knockout?

I literally have no idea.

**

The winner of this knockout

is Serenity.

Daly: Serenity!

Chance: I went with
Serenity just because

I think she
has the passion.

In a competition like this
where everybody can sing,

you have to be willing
to go for it.

Thank you.

Every time she gets on stage,

she does it with
the professionalism

and intent of somebody
way beyond her years.

Give it up for Dani!

It gets so hard to make
a decision in the knockouts.

Everybody’s so good.
Everybody survived a battle.

Nobody deserves to go home.

Crowd:
We love you, John.
Oh.

Stop, stop.
Shay: That was adorable.
That was cute.

You’re gonna make
Dan + Shay jealous.

I am jealous.

Crowd:
We love you, Reba!

Thank you so much.

Crowd:
We love you, Chance!

Oh, me?
It's a thing now.

We’re feeling
left out now.

Anybody,
just step up.

Crowd: We love you,
Dan + Shay!

Yeah, there we go.

**

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back
to the knockouts.

Ashley: Who do you think
the mentor is gonna be?

I don’t know.

Is this
against the rules?

Like, can we...?
I don’t know.

Ashley’s from Kentucky.
Country singer.

* Gonna run *

She’s got 30% hearing
in one ear.

The person that she was
teamed up with

taught her
how to do harmony.

Really?
Yeah.
Here on the show.

And Josh, great singer,
very country.

Got a wonderful voice.

Reba:
I paired Ashley and Josh

because they’re both
in the country lane.

Josh has a more gritty, raspy,

kind of like
Chris Stapleton voice,

where Ashley is a little more
pop in her singing.

You know, country music
has a contemporary way

over here
and traditional way over there,

with all of this other stuff
in between.

Well, they both nailed
the in-between.

Lord have mercy,
Reba!

[ Laughing ]

Reba gets that reaction
all the time.

Oh, my God.

How are
you doing, Ashley?

When I saw Keith Urban
standing there,

I almost passed out.

Hi.
Nice to meet you.

So nice to meet you.

Josh: He’s somebody
I’ve always looked to,

and even vocally,
the things that he does

are kind of out of the box.

Certainly a jaw-dropping
kind of moment for me.

I’m going to be singing

"Heads, Carolina,
Tails, California."

by Jo Dee Messina.
Keith: Oh, cool.
I love this song.

The thing that connects me
to this song most,

my Mamaw was always wanting
to push me and travel

and do all
the fun things with music.

* Baby, what do you say
we just get lost *

This song
is about really just traveling.

I’ve always been
kind of secluded to Kentucky,

but now that I’m here,
it makes me want

to kind of just see the world.

* Somewhere greener,
somewhere warmer *

My Mamaw was always one that
pushed me to keep on singing.

She isn’t here with us anymore,

so my Mamaw never got to
come to any performances.

She started getting sick
about the time

that I started singing out,

and I know that
she’d be so proud.

Um...

And the fact
that I’m on Team Reba,

and she loved her some Reba.

Alright. Good job.

Thank you. Lord.

That’s the big exhale
at the end, right?

Whew!

However you’re feeling up here,
we’ll feel that out here.

I’m just a very nervous person,
24/7.

That's a long time.

I put a lot
of pressure on myself.

My son Shelby was
a race car driver,

and they told him,

your subconscious
is going to rule it all.

So when he would get to a turn
that he knew he wasn’t good at,

start it, saying,
"Here comes that turn,

I’m gonna
nail this turn."
Okay.

Subconscious takes over.
You’re going to nail it.

Also, have a bit of fun
with the phrasing.

* Mm,
we gotta get out of here *

* If I gotta ride
a Greyhound bus *

Right?

If you if you went --
* We gotta get out of here *

* If we gotta ride
a Greyhound bus *

Ooh, I like that.
If you made it
your own,

suddenly I’m hearing
an Ashley song,

not a Jo Dee Messina
song.

* Heads, Carolina,
tails, California *

Yeah!

Keith: Ashley was
a good choice for Reba,

because she’s got something
really pure about her.

I like what
she did today a lot.

That felt
so much better.

It sounded much better.
Great job, Ashley.

Thank you so much.

This knockout round,
I get one pitch,

and I either swing and miss,

or I swing and
I put it in the freeway.

What are you going
to play for us today?

"Wild as Her"
by Corey Kent.

Okay.

He was on "The Voice."

It goes to show,
hard work in this process,

in this show,
if you ride it out,

there’s no telling
where it’ll take you.

Absolutely.

This song speaks to
me and my wife,

but also that part of my
children, my girls that --

I just want them to be able
to be themselves.

* Seaside breeze'll
bring her to life *

* And all them other boys say,
she's a goodbye girl *

I have four girls.

First I took notice
of the impact

that this song
was having on my children,

was sitting in the back
of that truck with their hair

blowing out the window,
just not a care in the world.

I want to protect
that side of them

that each one of them have,
in their own special way.

* She's wi-i-i-ld *

Man, you got some
Travis Tritt in there.

Man, that ain’t
the first time I’ve heard that.
It's really good.

That song particularly,
it’s written very rhythmically.

* Dun dun dun dun
dun dun *

So everything is kind of
in this rhythm.

If you sang even a bit
behind the beat occasionally --

* She ain’t living
for a diamond ring *

It’s just those little bit
of, just occasionally.

Okay.
Then you’ll
take ownership of it.

It’ll keep my attention.

* The windows down
and the wind in her hair *

Keith: Josh has got
a really good voice,

that blend of Southern rock,
soul,

country in there,
kind of all fused together,

a bit of Travis Tritt’s growl.

Travis is very
Southern rock influenced,

and you definitely hear that.

Hey!
Come on.

Do you ever see a visual to
the lyric when you’re singing?

Sometimes.

It just helps.

If you have a little video
of what you’re doing,

you’re going to portray that
to whoever you’re looking at.

Sing from your heart,
and the crowd will feel it,

and they’ll have chills
and they won’t even know why.

Yep.
Yeah.

Josh:
This is kind of a make or break.

You know, I’m 35,
I’m a husband, I’m a dad,

and there’s people relying
on me to succeed.

Alright. We’ll see you
at the knockout round.

Keith:
Josh, he’s got the experience,

but Ashley has a vulnerability
about her

that you can also feel.

So it’ll be interesting to see
how they perform on the night

and what connection
that makes with everybody.

Bye-bye.
Bye-bye.

Now singing "Wild as Her,"
here’s Josh Sanders.

**

* She never wanted to be
white picket fenced in *

* Her heart's like
a feather in a Tulsa wind *

* Seaside breeze'll
bring her to life *

* And all them other boys
say she's a goodbye girl *

* She'll wreck your world *

* And leave before
the mornin' sun *

* But she is free
layin' next to me *

* 'Cause I ain't tryna
to tame her love *

* I keep the windows down
and the wind in her hair *

* Keep her heart
hangin' on 'round every turn *

* She ain't scared to get tied
down, scared to get burned *

* Just looking for
somebody as wild as her *

* Wild, wild *

* Wild, wild *

* Saw that highway unwind
in her deep brown eyes *

* She saw a long stretch
of dirt road dreamin' in mine *

* She ain't living
for a diamond ring *

* Just living like
rock 'n roll song *

* I ain't trying to fix her *

* I just wanna kiss her *

* Fuel a little fire
in her soul *

* We don't say forever,
but when we're together *

* Swear that she
ain't ever lettin' go *

* 'Cause she knows *

* I keep the windows down
and the wind in her hair *

* Keep her heart hanging
on 'round every turn *

* She ain't scared to get tied
down, scared to get burned *

* Just looking for somebody
as wild as her *

* Wild, yeah *

* Wild, ohh *

* Yeahhhh *

[ Cheers and applause ]

Nice ending.
Stuck the landing.

Well done!
Thank you.

Thank y'all.

**

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back.

With "Heads, Carolina,
Tails, California,"

here’s Ashley Bryant.

Now,
that’s a country title.

Yeah.

**

* Baby, what do you say
we just get lost *

* Leave this one-horse town like
two rebels without a cause *

* I've got people in Boston *

* Ain't your daddy still
in Des Moines *

* We can pack up tomorrow,
tonight, let's flip a coin *

* Heads Carolina,
tails California *

* Somewhere greener,
somewhere warmer *

* Up in the mountains,
down by the ocean *

* Where it don't matter,
long as we're goin' *

* Somewhere together,
I've got a quarter *

* Heads Carolina,
tails California *

* We're gonna get out of here *

* If we gotta ride
a Greyhound bus *

* Boy, we're bound to outrun
the bad luck that's tailin' us *

* Oh, heads Carolina,
tails California *

* Somewhere greener,
somewhere warmer *

* Up in the mountains,
down by the ocean *

* Where, it don't matter,
long as we're goin' *

* Somewhere together,
I've got a quarter *

* Heads Carolina,
tails California, yeah *

* Ohh, California *

* Carolina *

* California *

[ Cheers and applause ]

Very good!
Very good!

Okay.

Chance:
Great job, both of y'all.

I’ll start off with you, Ashley.

I thought it was
a really cool performance.

I’m not super familiar
with the song,

but I did learn
to love the song.

Shout out to Jo Dee Messina,
one of my favorite artists.

Yeah, yeah, it’s one
of your favorite artists.

Yeah, yeah.

I think you did great,

but I do wish that there was
a little bit more risk-taking.

Josh, you took all the risks
and it paid off.

This song I do know.

Just kidding.
I don’t know this song either.

[ Laughter ]

I really like the rasp
that you use in certain parts.

You put a lot of energy
and passion into it,

and that’s what translates,
so I’m leaning towards Josh.

Okay.

Dan: Ashley, you were
working that stage

from the minute
you hit it,

and it was awesome
to see that.

That’s what country music’s
all about, right there.

Thank you so much.

Man, Josh,
that was fire, dude.

That last note
was absolute flames.

Sometimes when
Shay does that,

I fear that he’s gonna
pass out.

Sometimes I do.

Your tone is almost --

it reminds me of
Eli Young Band, in a way,

but it’s very unique
to you.

It just blasted everybody away,
especially Chance.

To see that spin on it,
you know what I mean?

Because the original version,
you remember, it was like --

And this one is like...

completely different.

It was so good.

Josh, you've got that rough
and tough vocal thing

that’s really popping off
in country music right now.

If I had to choose,

I'd probably
give the edge to Josh

just by a little bit.

Thank you, man.

Ashley, you being
a country artist

singing that song
with such clarity and power,

it was just really illuminating
for us to see you in that light.

And I really love that little
cry in your voice.

With Josh, your performance,
it just kept gaining momentum,

and then you
stuck the landing

with that big, long
note at the end.

It was just so powerful
in exactly the right way.

Thank you, man.

Daly: Thank you, coaches.

Reba, you got
a tough decision here.

But what did you think
of the knockout first?

Ashley,
you did great.
Thank you.

You hit that big note
at the end,

and I know you’ve got
the pipes to support it.

And Josh, you can sell a song
so well that I believe it.

That’s one of
your talents.

Thank you.

I love you both, and thanks
for taking the journey.

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

**

The winner
of this knockout...

is Josh.

Josh, congratulations!

Reba: Ashley and Josh,

I just love
those people so much.

Josh, he really
gets into the songs

that he chooses.

You did it again, buddy.

He relates to them,

and I think that
he’ll be a huge contender.

Give it up for
Ashley Bryant, everybody!

[ Cheers and applause ]

Thank you guys.
Wonderful job.

That hurts to have to
say goodbye.

Josh,
he killed it.

**

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back.

Well, well, well.
How are you?

It’s so good
to see you.

It’s so good
to see you.
How you doing?

Good.
Your hair looks
amazing.

Thank you.

What is it like,
watching everything go down?

It’s crazy to get to see
everyone and kind of, like,

live it from
a different perspective.

Spirits are high, man.

I’m feeling good about
Team Dan + Shay.

We’re fired up.

I feel so awesome to get
to work with you guys.

I always feel like I'm
trying to be a sponge.

That’s how we’ve been
throughout our entire career.

We got to work with Keith Urban
last week and we’ve watched him,

and obviously, Reba.

It makes you a better
artist, so feeling good.

Let’s go.
Team Dan + Shay.

We’re coming for you.

Dan + Shay.
Come on.

Shay: Alright, guys,
I’m pretty fired up.

We have
Kyle and Anya.

One, two. Oh.

Dan: We paired
Anya versus Kyle.

They both have a really cool,
almost singer-songwriter thing,

but they have a little bit
of an alt edge.

Super, super excited.
So excited.

I’m shaking a bit.

They’re both so talented,
and I feel like we need

to put on
a cohesive performance

that makes the other person
very stealable.

Should we bring them in?
Let's bring them out.

Come on. Hey!

Keith Urban?

Oh,
nice to see you.

He’s a producer.

He’s a writer.
He’s a performer.

He’s worked with
people like Taylor Swift.

Anya, what are you
going to be singing today?

I’m singing "Runaway"
by AURORA.

Yeah,
that's so cool.

She started writing
when she was 11.

I started writing
when I was 9,

so it’s a similar
kind of thing.

No guitar today?

It’s the first time I’ve ever
played live without a guitar.

Why did you choose
to do that?

It’s definitely a risk
I’m taking to not play it.

I’m nervous,
but it’s "The Voice."

You have to take risks,

and I really want to
focus on just my vocals.

Keith: Good for you.
Yeah, I love that.

* I was listenin' to the ocean *

The message of the song.
I really relate to it.

* No, take me home,
take me home *

"Home" in the song, that’s
my parents and my sister.

When I’m away from them,

especially my sister
who’s now in college,

it’s really hard for me,
so when I sing this song,

I just really think about her.

I just wanted
to call you,

because you’re my home
and I miss you.

I miss you, too.

I’m really proud
of you.

* I was running far away, would
I run off the world someday? *

* No, take me home *

Dan: Anya obviously is inspired
by artists like Phoebe Bridgers.

Really cool indie,
almost alt-folk stuff.

Shay: She might be young,
but whenever I was her age,

I didn’t sound like that.

You couldn’t even tie
your own shoes, I don’t think.

I still can’t.
That’s why I wear boots.

Yeah. Come on.
Thank you.

Dan: That was awesome.

With a song like this, I think
the most important thing is

that you’re
really selling this story.

If you believe it,
other people will too.

Yeah.

One moment you were
sort of a little unsteady,

and you closed your eyes,
and I could feel you

center into the song.

It was great.

If you start to feel
a little nervous,

just see if you
can center yourself again

and lose yourself
in the song,

and you literally
will draw us in.

Fantastic job.

I got to give it
to Keith Urban right here

for giving you some of the
greatest coaching and advice.

Yeah, give it up.

Thank you guys.

Anya has a very great
stage presence,

and she also
has a beautiful voice.

I think that’s going to be
really tough to go up against.

* I met you in the dark *

I chose to sing "Say You Won’t
Let Go" by James Arthur.

This song is special to me,
because it reminds me

of my Grandma Mary.

She passed away
about three years ago.

When I was first getting
into songwriting and recording,

she was able to get me
a new guitar,

and any time we’d have
a family dinner night,

I’d go over to the house
and I play some songs for her.

She cried for the first time
that I had seen

when I played her this song.

I mean, she probably cried
for the other grandchildren

a couple of times,
but not me.

I’m just super excited
to sing this song for her.

* You were always there for me *

Dan: I feel like this is an
amazing song choice for Kyle.

He’s got
really cool texture

when he really belts
and goes for it.

This is a great
opportunity for Kyle.

I think he’s going
to do amazing.

Yeah, man.
Yeah, buddy.

That little raspy edge
is just so good.

Let us see your eyes
just a little bit more.

It’s going to make it
raw and real.

Let the
small, intimate stuff

be small and intimate,

but on those big moments,
just like, really go for it.

I feel like your transition
to the --

* Say you won’t let go *

If it feels better to go --

* Say you won’t let go *

You know,
go into that full voice

if that helps you
hit that note.

Do you ever sing
without your guitar?

Yeah, I’ve never sang
without my guitar.

It’s kind of just like,
a comfort thing.

I think you should try one
without it,

because it’s all voice.

But I also understand
as a player,

that sometimes
the two go together.

Just what you did
right there with your hands,

running your fingers
through your hair,

that looked pretty sick.

Maybe throw that move in there.

Wow.
Maybe we get that
in slow-mo.

Yeah, just -- whew.

Kyle: I got two
of the best coaches

and just an amazing producer
sitting right next to him,

Keith Urban.

That’s crazy.

I’ve definitely grown
as a singer.

Keith:
Kyle’s got a great voice.

Anya, she’s not
a big sort of ta-da performer.

She’s more interior
and works really well with that.

They genuinely have
different strengths.

I’m so proud of you both.

Y’all have come
into your own,

and I could feel true artistry
from both of you guys.

Your voices are great
and you guys have got

your work cut out for you.

We do, indeed.

I have no idea
who is going to win.

Who’s going to move on?
They’re both so good, so good.

I feel like this is going to be
a great opportunity

for one of the
other coaches to steal.

Kyle’s already so comfortable
without his guitar,

he left it behind.

Yeah, he did.
[ Laughs ]

[ Cheers and applause ]

With "Runaway,"
here’s Anya True.

**

* I was listenin' to the ocean *

* I saw a face in the sand *

* But when I picked it up *

* Then it vanished
away from my hands now *

* I had a dream,
I was seven *

[ Cheers and applause ]

**

Yeah, Kyle!

**

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly:
Welcome back to the knockouts.

Now singing
"Say You Won’t Let Go,"

here’s Kyle Schuesler.

**

* I met you in the dark,
you lit me up *

* You made me feel as though
I was enough *

* We danced the night away,
we drank too much *

* I held your hair
back when *

* You were throwing up *

* Then you smiled
over your shoulder *

* For a minute,
I was stone-cold sober *

* I pulled you closer
to my chest *

* And you asked
me to stay over *

* I said, I already told ya *

* I think that you
should get some rest *

* I knew I loved you then *

* But you'd never know *

* 'Cause I played it cool when
I was scared of letting go *

* I knew I needed you *

* But I never showed *

* I wanna stay with you
until we're grey and old *

* Just say you won't let go *

* Just say you won't let go *

* I wanna live with you *

* Even when we're ghosts *

* 'Cause you were
always there for me *

* Just say you won't let go *

* Just say you won't let go *

* Oh, just say
you won't let go *

[ Cheers and applause ]

**

Excellent job
by both of you.

Anya, your tone
is really gorgeous.

I like the way you
express yourself.

It’s very unique.

It feels very authentic
coming from you.

Kyle, that higher part of
your chest voice

it's got a crunch to it
that’s really cool.

It sounds really
magical and powerful.

I guess I would lean
a little bit towards Kyle.

Thanks, man.

Anya, your lows are great,
and then when you did go on up

to a higher register,
it was really pretty too.

You have a wonderful voice,
and I love your outfit.

Thank you so much.

Kyle, love your
tone of your voice.

I love the way you went
into falsetto

and then came back
full voice.

It was really good.

Thank you.

Kyle, I get so excited
to see you perform,

and I felt like this one
started so low

and maybe threw you off
a little bit,

but I still think you're
an awesome singer.

And Anya,

I really, really, really
like your voice.

There’s some nice very, like --
so delicate.

It reminds me of
Joni Mitchell.

She’s one of my favorite
singers. Thank you so much.

Yeah. I'd probably
lean towards Anya.

Daly:
Thank you, coaches.

Alright, boys.

You got a tough decision
coming up in a minute.

Give us some thoughts
on the knockout first.

We need more time.

Shay: This sucks, man.

Anya, I just love the way
that you approach every note,

and I felt your heart
in the performance.

Just a super fan
of your voice.

Kyle, I thought you had
amazing breath control.

You’re holding out
those long notes.

You did a great job
with really owning it

and stepping up
in this moment.

This is the hardest choice
I think we’ve had

on this show so far.

We need to go behind
these chairs

and talk about it
for a little bit.

Dan + Shay,

it is time to find out who is
the winner of this knockout.

God, this sucks.

**

[ Conversing quietly ]

The winner of
this knockout...

is Anya.

Anya, congratulations!

The reason
we chose Anya,

she sings straight
from her heart,

and just kind of
pulls you in

and makes you believe
the words that she’s saying.

She has a lot of potential

to do really well
in this competition.

Coaches, I'm gonna remind you
that Kyle is available to steal.

Daly: That's the sound of a
steal from Chance the Rapper!

You don't gotta remind me,
Carson!

I was playing
the long game, baby.

Chance, you waited...
not at all.

I was just like a leopard
waiting to pounce.

I knew that I was gonna get you
on my team at some point.

I just had to
play my cards right.

Chance,
are you saying that

you tried to convince
Dan + Shay to pick Anya?

Unbelievable.
This guy right here.

This guy is devious!

Anya was amazing.
I believed what I was saying.

I’m just saying
I’ve been waiting to get Kyle,

and it just
worked out like that.

I've had my eye on Kyle
since day one.

My team was full,
so I couldn't grab him up.

He can do pop, he can do folk,
he can do country.

I think he can do anything
with his voice.

Pleasure doing
business with you.

Yeah, no, that was great.
That was great.

Ohhh.
