Y'all, I was just watching
on the TV.

Everyone's teams are stacked.

Yeah, really good teams.
Stacked.

* Destiny in the making *

It's getting narrowed down
and narrowed down.

Jadyn: I'm very nervous.

There's a lot
of talented people,

and making it to playoffs
would be insane.

John: The competition gets more
and more intense each round.

Everyone who's remaining
on the show is so good.

The pressure's on.

* I am the greatest *

You ready?
I'm ready, man.

Michael:
Looking at the playoffs,
I'd love to have a team

that shows off the diversity
that I love about music.

My team in the playoffs
will be undeniable.

Adam: The people
who end up winning,

they just focus on being their
best version of themselves.

And that's all
you can really do.

* Toniiiiight *

Yeah!
Wow!

It's all about taking chances
and going after what you want.

* All that you did was
make me really sad *

Whoo!

Nell: When I take that stage,
it's game time.

You know, eye of the tiger.

I am the only coach
with a steal left.

Daly: Whoa!
We got a steal!

I've been waiting for this
for so long!

* I am the greatest *

**

We about to go
in front of John.
We are.

You know
what I'm saying?

[ Laughing ] Yeah.

[ Both laugh ]

I paired Nell and RENZO.

Nell was my save
because it was truly

one of my favorite performances
of the battles.

Good to see you.
Good to see you, man.

I love RENZO because he's
so unique as an artist.

There's no one like him
on this competition.

I'm so excited
to see what they're gonna do.

Alright, Nell, so, tell me
what song you chose.

I chose "Sweet Thing"

by Chaka Khan.
Oh, I love that song!

* I will love you anyway *

John: This song is one
of the great R&B classics.

She's a remarkable singer.

She's got polish,
she's got class.

The challenge for Nell
is going to be

to make sure
she adds something fresh

and makes it feel like it's
special coming from her.

* Whoa, sweet thing *

I really think this showcases

who I am as a vocalist
in my genre, R&B soul.

I'm born and raised
in New Orleans.

Everywhere you go you see
someone playing music --

jazz, bounce music.

The culture has molded me

into this unique artist
and person that I am.

And so for this performance,

I'm definitely giving a little
New Orleans twist to it.

We make everything kind of big.

* Don't you know you're
my everything? *

I do feel like I have more
to prove this round.

* Yes, you are *

Especially as a save,

because we are getting
to the nitty-gritty.

When I take that stage, I'ma be
thinking about playoffs.

I got to go and get it.

* Crazyyyy *

I haven't heard anybody do it
like that at the end.

That was really cool.

That added like a layer
of newness and freshness to it.

Thank you.
I love your runs.

I think that's
a really smart way

to build tension and energy
at the end.

My only tiny note is,
I know the "yes, you are"

is such an iconic part
of the song...
Mm-hmm.

...but it doesn't really
add to it in that moment

because you're about to
transition to another section.

I might just cut it.
Alright. It's so good.

Thank you so much.

Watching Nell up there

felt like I got a front-row seat
to one of Nell's concerts.

She's a very calculated singer,

so I got to make sure
that I'm on top of my game.

RENZO, I see
you brought your guitar.

I did.
What does this mean?

This means that
I'm singing

"Happier Than Ever"
by Billie Eilish.

And why did you pick
Billie Eilish?

First off, I love Billie.

Brilliant writer,
performer.
Yeah.

And her brother,
Finneas.

I mean,
much like myself,

I feel like
they're free creators.

Yes.
They're not held down
by any genres.

But also, this is
my wife's favorite song.

I'm about to sing
"Happier Than Ever."

Yeah, I know that's
your favorite song.

I'm more proud than getting
a thousand scoops of ice cream.

-Wow!
-Good luck! Love you!

* When I'm away *

RENZO: I wouldn't be here
in the knockouts

without my wife's support.

We've been married
for seven years.

She's always there for me
when it comes to my music.

My daughters
are supporting me, too.

This is not just for me.
This is for my family.

Genre-wise, I'm alternative
and R&B with a dash of pop.

Someone like John Legend,

who's just free as a creative
and as an artist,

encourages me to do more
of being myself.

He's like sensei, you know?

[ Laughing ] Sensei Legend.

* And I don't talk bad
about you *

John: RENZO -- it's hard
to figure out exactly

what lane to put him in, and
I think he wants it that way.

With this song choice, he's free
and not bound by genre.

He's gonna show us
different sides of him.

And that versatility, I think,

is really gonna be
compelling for a lot of people.

Yes, sir.
Yeah! So good.

How much are you playing
the guitar?

I was just playing it
in the hook.

I think take it off
because...
Take it off?

That way, your body will be
more open to the audience.

And during
the middle of it,

I want to hear a little more,
like, texture in your voice.

Yeah.
It's like it's almost
too smooth.

Okay.
Because you're singing
angsty lyric.

But you sound so nice, like...
[ Both laugh ]

Thank you so much, man.

Y'all just make
my life extremely difficult

because you're both
so marvelous.

These two artists are
so incredibly talented.

It's so hard to choose
between them.

I'm gonna allow myself to see
who moves me in the moment,

but this is gonna be a really
incredibly tough knockout.

What am I supposed to do?
What are we doing here?!

How is someone gonna win and
somebody's gonna lose this?

[ Cheers and applause ]

Oh!
Nell!

With "Sweet Thing,"
here's Nell Simmons.

**

* I will love you anyway *

* Even if you cannot stay *

* I think you are
the one for me *

* Here is where
you ought to be *

* I just want to satisfy ya *

* But you're not my mine,
I can't deny it *

* Don't you hear me talkin',
baby? *

* Love me now
or I'll go crazy *

* Whoa, sweet thing *

* Oh, ya know
you're my everything *

* Whoa, sweet thing *

* Don't ya know *
* You're my everything *

* Yeah *
Whoo!

* Yeaaaaah, yeah, yeaaaah *

* You are my heat,
you are my fire *

* You make me weak
with strong desire *

* To love ya, child,
my whole life long *

* Be it right or be it wrong *

* I just want to satisfy ya *

* But you're not mine,
I can't deny ya *

* Don't you hear me talkin',
baby? *

* Love me now or I'll go *

* Crazy *

* Yeah, I can't denyyyy *

* Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah *

* Yeah, I can't deny ya *

* Love me now or I'll go *

* Crazy, crazy *

* Crazy *

Hey!

* Crazyyyyy *

* Sweet thing *

Whoo!

[ Cheers and applause ]

Way to go.

Love that!

Let's go, RENZO!

Now, with "Happier Than Ever,"
here is RENZO.

[ Cheers and applause ]

**

* When I'm away from you *

* I'm happier than ever *

* Wish I could
explain it better *

* I wish it wasn't truuuue *

* Ooooooh *

* You call me again *

* Drunk in your Benz *

* Driving home
under the influence *

* You scared me to death *

* But I'm wasting my breath *

* 'Cause you only listen
to your *

* I don't relate to you *

Yeah!

* I don't relate to you, no *

* 'Cause I'd never treat me
this badly *

* You made me hate this city *

* And I don't talk bad about you
on the internet *

* Never told anyone
anything bad *

* 'Cause that's just
embarrassing *

* You were my everything *

* And all that you did
was make me really sad *

* You ruined everything good *

* Always said you were
misunderstood *

* Made all my moments your own *

* Why can't you
leave me aloooone? *

Hey!

[ Holding note ]

* Leave me alo-o-oooone *

Yeah!
[ Laughs ]

[ Cheers and applause ]

Oh, good lord!

Oh, man!

John Legend,
what did you do?!

You guys
are both awesome.

I wish I was talking
about my own team right now.

Nell, singing Chaka Khan
is, like, no joke.

If you're gonna
sing Chaka,

you gotta, like, do
exactly what you just did.

That's right!

Thank you so much.

Now, unfortunately, you were
going up against RENZO.

I got blocked
by John Legend,

and I've been regretting it and
bitching about it ever since.

True.
[ Laughter ]

You have this
unicorn energy

because you can
kind of do anything,

but you do it with this really
amazing, kind of graceful edge.

I would be shocked
if you didn't make it

all the way to
the end of this thing.

Nell, leaning into, like,
that deeper,

like, warmer, lower part
of your register --

it was so stunning.

It really came across
as "woman"

and sexy and strong.

Thank you.
Yes, Nell!

Kelsea: RENZO,
when I saw your song choice,

it made me excited
and nervous at the same time

because Billie has this

beautiful breathiness
to her voice,

but then there's some, like,
oomph in that song too.

Watching you lean into both
says a lot about your artistry,

and I think that you
are going to have

a career
to the moon and back.

Nell, there was parts of your
voice in your upper register,

it reminds me a lot of
a young Mariah Carey.

Mariah, that voice...

Oh, God,
I had such a crush.

[ Laughter ]

And it was hard
not to crush on you too.

You are a spectacular woman.
Thank you.

RENZO, there's not
a day that goes by

that I don't hear Adam going,

"RENZO!
He would've been mine!"

[ Laughter ]

Literally,
he'll be eating at catering

and just go, "RENZO!"

[ Laughing ]

I felt like you were
in such control.

You were so understated.

That is a tough thing to do
when you're trying to show off.

That just shows
your integrity musically.

Congratulations to both of you.

Daly: Thank you, coaches.

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

But give us some thoughts
on the knockout first, please.

Nell, it was sexy,
it was poised.

To be able to
do that song justice

and also make it feel fresh,
it was quite a feat.

I have nothing
but amazing things to say

about your performance.
It was perfection.

Thank you so much.

And, RENZO, it was
so cool watching you go

in and out of
your head voice,

your chest voice,
and then just rock out.

It just showed so much
versatility in your voice.

Every time you're out here,
you kind of go between genres.

It's really exciting
to work with you

and see all the things that make
you who you are as an artist.

[ Cheers and applause ]

High praise for both
of your artists, John.

Got to be a difficult decision,
but the time has come.

Who is the winner
of this knockout?

[ Dramatic music plays ]

**

The winner of this knockout...

**

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back
to the knockouts.

John, who is the winner
of this knockout?

The winner
of this knockout...

...is RENZO.

RENZO,
congratulations!

You're going
to the playoffs!

John: Nell -- everyone was
so moved by her performance.

But the problem was
she went against RENZO,

and he's genre defying,
boundary defying.

You killed it,
once again.

Because he's so different,
I had to pick RENZO.

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

Nell, anything you want
to say to your coach?

Nell: Thank you so much
for the opportunity.

I mean,
you are incredible.

Youare incredible!

Michael: If I had my steal,

I definitely would've
stolen Nell.

It's tough to see people go
when they're that good.

There's not one thing that Nell
could have done better today.

Honestly, Legend has a...
[ Chuckling ]

He has a legendary team.

She's too good to go home,
but RENZO is RENZO.

-Hey. What's up?
-How y'all doing?

-Good to see you.
-Team Bublé's in the house.
-That's right.

Being a part of this experience,
we get to live this dream.

Congratulations.
Thank you.

Excited to have you
in the knockouts.

We're excited.
John: Let's go!

The community that we've been
building around here

with other artists
and with the coaches,

it's just been
such a fun time.

Alright, bro, you ready?
I'm ready, man.

Is that just me
or is there someone behind me?

I paired Adam and Carlos because

I think both of them have
really beautiful voices.

I don't think I've seen
your hair like this.

You haven't.
It is glorious,
my friend.

Michael: Adam's voice, there's
like a soul/rock thing

that I absolutely love.

And then there's
this sort of pop/opera-esque

thing that Carlos has.

Are you wondering why
I have put you in this grouping?

I kind of feel
like it's 'cause you know

we've been hanging out
a lot.

Yes.
That's exactly the reason.

This season is cool,

because all of the artists
are so different.

They're both really musical,
and I think

they're gonna complement
each other in a big way.

So, what did you choose?

This is Allen Stone,
"Unaware."

Musically, it's very me.

Adam D:
I love blues, jazz, funk.

I grew up on a lot
of classic rock.

* Every day,
the deficit grows *

Yeah, man.

So, this song is the kind
of music that I like to create.

* Papa always said *

There's a line in the song

that's like a father
giving advice, right?

And so, my mom raised me
a single mother

and played both roles.
Yeah.

So this is
a tribute to her.

That's beautiful, man.
Yeah.

My mom, you could say she was
a single mother by choice.

She did
artificial insemination.

Back then,
it was kind of a new thing.

It was a super courageous thing
for her to do,

raising me by herself.
Love you.

And there were times, too,

where I know she didn't know
what to do,

but she didn't give up.

She showed up every time,
and she continues to show up.

I made it to the knockouts.

Oh, my gosh,
I am so proud of you.

You pursued what
you wanted to pursue

and you're
succeeding at it.

I love you so much.
You don't...

Mwah!

* You say *

Adam's voice is what
I want to be when I grow up.

[ Laughs ]

He is just pure soul.

And all of that
while he's playing guitar.

So he's having, you know,
to do this number.

I definitely want to win,

and so when I go out there,
I'm gonna give it my all.

* You caaaare *
[ Laughing ]

Aaaaah!
[ Laughs ]

Ladies and gentlemen,
give it up for Adam!

Oh, we can't
make noise now.

Wow, no one's allowed
to make noise.

You guys -- You guys
suck as an audience,

just let me tell you,

I didn't really know you had
that falsetto so comfortably.

You haven't heard it yet.
No.

My only question is,
can you do that

on national television
when you're scared?

That's a great question.

Because if you can,
my fellow coaches

will be choked
that you're not on their team.

Thank you.
The only thing I would
say, just be you and sing it.

And if you do,
then we'll believe you.
Thank you.

Through the blinds,
through the battle,

I've been nervous, and it's
affected my performance.

In this knockout,
it feels like a tipping point.

I have to really show
what I can do.

I picked "You Are the Reason"
by Calum Scott.

Oh, beautiful.

It just reminds me
of my wife

and the fight
that you put in for love.

How long have
you guys been together?
Four months.

You have just beat
the L.A. average by one month.

Nah, it's beautiful, man.
I'm so happy for you guys.

Thank you.

* There goes my heart
beating *

Carlos: My wife Katherine
and I got married,

and we basically high-fived,
and then she said bye,

and I've spent our first
few months married being here.

There couldn't be anyone else
in the world

that would understand that.

And so these lyrics take
a whole new meaning.

You had mentioned that you might
want to hear me sing in Spanish,

so I have the second half
of that verse in Spanish.

Are you kidding me?
I'd love to hear it.

* Si yo pudiera sanar*

I'm from Puerto Rico,
and singing in Spanish

was just something
that we did so much as a family.

It's definitely a way for me
to stay connected with who I am.

* And I'd climb
every mountain *
Wow.

Carlos, he's a professor.
He teaches vocals.

Nice, man.

He's just
a technical master.

Closing my eyes
and really feeling the notes,

I mean, I was almost
on the verge of tears,

so I'm a little intimidated.

* You are the reason *

Nice, Carlos.
Beautiful, man.
Thank you.

You also are showing me
a different part

of your voice right now.

That high register.
Mm.

It's really nice.
You have great control.

Just make sure we hear
the end of the vowel.

* Mountain *

Just because
it gets lost.
Sure.

You have this really
tremendous opportunity

to sing this for the love
of your life.

And as much as the people
in the audience are important,

your wife watching
is more important.

And I would love it if
you could look down that lens,

be connected with her.

Boom!
Yeah.

You know,
I can see a little bit better

where Carlos wants to go as
an artist with this song choice.

And honestly, the range is a lot
further than I thought he went.

And Adam today
was a surprise.

Just even more dynamics
from the guy.

Thank you, guys.
I don't know.

This is the fastest coaching
I've ever had.

You guys, like...
you did your work.

Congratulations
on knowing who you are.

Thank you.

Honestly, it's gonna
come down to the performance,

and whoever connects
with those lyrics

in a deeper way
is probably gonna be the one

that stays on Team Bublé.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Yes!

Look at me,
like a proud daddy.

I'm like...
[ Laughs ]

With "Unaware,"
here's Adam David.

**

**

* Every day, the deficit grows *

* You spend more than you own *

Sing, Adam!

* Papa always said to *

[ Audience cheers ]

* Keep a close eye
on your authority *

* 'Cause you say that you care *

* And I was unaware *

**

* You say that you care *

Ohh!

* And I was unaware *

* You say that you care *

* And I was unaware *

* You say that you
caaaaa-a-are *

* I was unaware *

* Ohhh *

* You say that you caaaare *

[ Cheers and applause ]

I love that!

Wow!

John: Carlos.
Michael: Yeah, man.

All business, baby.
[ Chuckles ]

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back
to "The Voice."

[ Cheers and applause ]

Dang, Michael!

Now singing
"You Are the Reason,"

here's Carlos Santiago.

**

* There goes my heart beating *

* 'Cause you are the reason *

* I'm losing my sleep *

* Please come back now *

* Si yo pudiera sanar*

* Lo que las tinieblas
quisieron dañar*

* Yo entregaría*

* Todo mi vida*

* Por tu paz*

* 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 reasooooon *

* You are the reasooooo-o-on *

* I need you
to hold me tonight *

* I'd climb every mountain *

* I'd swim every ocean *

* Just to be with you *

* And fix what I've broken *

* 'Cause I need you to see *

* That you are the reason *

[ Cheers and applause ]

Beautiful!

**

Wow!

Both of you just gave
your best performances

that you've given
on this show.

Carlos, I really felt
your emotion.

And technically,
every note felt really good.

I was very impressed
with that, Carlos.
Thank you.

And, Adam, the growl
in your falsetto --

I was just, like,
marveling at it

because it had
so much texture and power.

Reminded me of, like,
what Prince would do.

This is gonna be
incredibly tough for Michael

'cause both of you
knocked it out of the park.

So I don't envy
your decision.

Sure.
I appreciate your honesty.

Mm-hmm.

Adam: Adam, you got
a great voice, man.

That upper crazy scream falsetto
is, like, so hard to have.

Carlos, I felt so many moments
where it was like, damn.

Like, there's
so much greatness here.

You guys are both great.

He really kind of can't
go wrong here.

[ Applause ]

Adam, there's a bit
of a Gavin DeGraw quality

to your voice.

It's like a little smoky,

it's a little sweet,
a little savory.

You got a barbecue voice!

[ Laughter ]

And I love barbecue,
obviously.

I'm from Nashville, so...

Carlos, I noticed

the whole time
you were just honed in,

and I could tell you
were singing to one person.

I was singing it
to my wife.

She's been incredibly supportive
of me being here.

There's nothing
more beautiful,

especially with a love song,

when you can tell that
you are singing it for somebody.

Thank you.
Thanks so much.

Daly: Thank you, coaches.
Alright, Michael.

Tough decision here
coming up in a minute,

but give us your thoughts
on the knockout first.

It's been a joy working
with both of you.

Carlos, you were
just unbelievable.

You are a wonderful vocalist,
and I loved it.

Congratulations.

Adam, you also sang
that song for somebody.

I'm gonna try to do it
without crying.

Yeah, my mom raised me
as a single mother.

If there's anyone in the world

that I can share any
of these wins with, it's her.

That's beautiful, man.

Makes me want to cry.

Listen, you're a character,

a character voice, and I love

that richness in your voice.

And both of
you just showed up

and you just dominated.

And I'm just so proud
of both you gentlemen.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Alright, Michael.
The time has come.

Who is the winner
of this knockout?

Wow.

[ Dramatic music plays ]

The winner of this knockout...

is Adam.

Adam, congratulations!

You are moving on
to the playoffs.

I'm so excited.
I'm here. I'm still here.

I'm still in it.
[ Exhales sharply ]

Michael:
Carlos is a great singer,

but Adam, for me,
was the best artist.

He knows
who he wants to be.

He has a really incredible,
soulful voice.

Great dexterity, power,
control of his pitch.

Can't wait to see what
my Adam does in the playoffs.

Daly: Still to come,
expert coaching...

You got to build
the dynamic the whole time.

[ Vocalizing ]

Exactly!
That's why you're my coach.

* Take me on a trip,
I'd like to go someday *

Daly: ...extraordinary
performances...

Hey!
* I'd love to see L.A. *

* Yeah, keep holdin' on *

Yeah!

Daly: ...and the final steal
of the season.

We got a steal!

[ Screams ]

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back.

[ Cheers and applause ]

**

[ Laughter and applause ]

Stop.
Let's not do that anymore.

Michael: Adam,
sing "Feeling Good"!

Adam: They're dressed so nice.

I feel like
I'm 15 years old right now.

No, dude, you look good.
I'm cozy.

I'm just cozy like this.

No, it's like
your uniform.

No, but, yeah,
it feels like, ah!

I'm wearing that
underneath.

Jaelen: Tie-breaker,
right now.

[ Laughs ]
Leave it to me.

I've lost eight games
my entire life.

You keep track
of that?

Yes.
That's a little concerning.

'Cause I thought
I was the best

Rock, Paper,
Scissor-skizzerer ever.

I paired Hailey and Jaelen

together again
because I really feel

like they bring out the best
in each other.

The winner of this battle
is Jaelen.

They both could easily enter
into country music

and just take it by a storm
right now.

I can't believe that
we're paired together

a second time.
I thought that was wild.

Personally, I got
mixed feelings on it,

'cause you're not terrible
to be around --

okay, so it's fun.

Wait, you gotta do
like this. [ Laughs ]

But it is scary.

I want both of us
to go through, like last time,

but I know she can
only choose one.

Don't make me cry.

Okay. Hailey.

Yes.
What did we pick?

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

Patsy Montana.
Okay!

And the reason behind it is

you're always talking
about the yodel in my voice.

The yodel!

Do you know "Blue"
by Leann Rimes?

Yeah.

* Bluuuu-u-u-u-ue *

* I wanna be a cowboy's
sweetheart *

* I wanna learn to rope
and ride *

Hailey is 19 years old,

and she is singing
a classic country song.

That just shows she knows
who she wants to be.

* Hear the coyotes howlin' *

Her voice is powerful,
but in a different way.

It's a storyteller voice
that hits you here.

[ Yodeling ]

**

This song represents
my artistry

because it's very Western
and classic country.

How much more classic
can you get other than to yodel?

* Wanna ride Old Paint *

This is one of my favorites
to sing back home at shows.

I gig at restaurants,
bars, and little honky-tonks.

My favorite thing to do
is to look out to the crowd

and be like, "Okay, who thinks
I can yodel a little faster?"

And then I'm always like,
"Oh, no,

you gotta be louder than that,"
and they start cheering so loud,

and then I just give it my all

and yodel as quickly
as possible.

* Yee! *

Yeehaw!

This is my first time seeing
your personality come through.

The yodel takes
so much vocal effort,

and I think that all of your
hyper thinking should go there.

And I think in the verses,
you play.

It's a cheeky song, you know?
Yeah.

It's like...
It's kind of like this.

Like, that's the vibe
of the song.

I'm most worried
about my nerves.

If you get up there
and you're nervous,

play a character.

You are you, but you are
a magnified version of you.

Yes, I love that.

Hailey: Working with Kelsea
has been so helpful for me.

In the past, I've let a little
bit of my nervousness get to me.

I'm taking Kelsea's advice,

and hopefully that'll help me
dial it down

and be able to hone in.

I'm so excited.
I can't wait.

Okay, Jaelen,
get up there!

I'm gonna follow that?

You do have to
follow that.

Jaelen,
what did you pick?

I picked "Dial Drunk"
by Noah Kahan.

I'm so intrigued

because I hear you as such
a traditional country singer.

And this song is country
adjacent, which I love.

* I'm rememberin' *

* I promised
to forget you now *

This song is not
traditional country.

It's definitely
a bit more folky.

But while it's not
necessarily my style,

there's a lot of raw emotion
in it.

I love songs that are emotional.

If they make you feel something,
that makes them worth singing.

* So I ain't takin'
any fault *
Nice!

This song's about wanting
a relationship connection

of some sort so bad that
you'd do almost anything for it.

It has feelings of heartbreak.

Recently, me and my girlfriend
of three years broke up.

There's definitely sadness,
but I think

that's gonna make that
performance shine that much more

'cause then I can channel
those emotions into the song.

* I ain't proud of all the
punches that I've thrown *

I want to show Kelsea
that I can be more diverse

when it comes to songs.

* Sir, just let me call *

* I'll give you
my blood alcohol *

Jaelen has
a country-rooted voice,

but it has a quality
that you're hearing

right now on country radio,
like Wallen and Luke Combs.

There's this trend
that's happening right now

that he really favors.

* I dial drunk,
I'd die a drunk *

* I'd die for you *

-Whoo!
-Whoo!

Ooh, that ending
is smooth!

You have this grit.

Be careful to not give
that part of your voice away

every time.
Okay.

When the drums come in
and you're vibing more,

it could be
more impactful.

Okay.
Also...

I want to see you...

Do-do-doo!

Move around a little bit?
Do-do-doo!

And we're gonna go
this way.

Moving's always gonna
be a challenge, you know?

I don't dance much.

I can two-step,
and that's about it.

When that chorus kicks in,
move your boots.

I really want to win
this knockout.

So it's definitely something
I have to work on.

I believe so much
in both of you.

I want Hailey to enjoy
the crowd, really interact,

and then make sure that she is
in her pocket for those yodels.

That's a cool song to pick.

With Jaelen,
what I really want to see

in this performance
is him have fun.

Golly, that's wild.
[ Hailey laughs ]

[ Cheers and applause ]

Whoo!

Singing "I Want to Be
a Cowboy's Sweetheart,"

here's Hailey Wright.

**

I love it already, man.

* I wanna be
a cowboy's sweetheart *

* I wanna learn to rope
and ride *

* Wanna ride o'er the plains
and the desert *

I love her.
* Out west of the great divide *

* I wanna hear
those coyotes howlin' *

* As the sun sets in the West *

* I wanna be
a cowboy's sweetheart *

* That's the life
I love the best *

Come on!

[ Yodeling ]

**

**

Yeah!

Yeehaw!

Yeah!

**

* I wanna ride Old Paint *

* Goin' at a run *

* I wanna feel the wind
in my face *

* A thousand miles from
all these city lights *

* Goin' at a cowhand's pace *

* I wanna pillow my head *

* Near the sleeping herd *

* As the moon shines
down from above *

* Wanna strum my guitar
and yodel-le-hee-hee *

Whoo!
* 'Cause that's
the life I love *

[ Yodeling ]

**

**

* I wanna be
a cowboy's sweetheart *

* That's the life
I love the best *

Heee!

Yeah!

[ Cheers and applause ]

Whoo!

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back
to the knockouts.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Now, with "Dial Drunk,"
here's Jaelen Johnston.

**

* Rememberin' *

* I promised to forget you now *

* But it's rainin',
and I'm calling drunk *

* And my medicine is drowning
your perspective out *

* So I ain't takin' any fault *

* Am I honest still? *

* Am I half the man
I used to be? *

* Doubt it, forget about it,
whatever *

* It's all the same anyway *

* I ain't proud of all the
punches that I've thrown *

[ Laughs ]

* In the name of someone
I no longer know *

* For the shame of being
young, drunk, and alone *

* Traffic lights
and a transmitter radio *

* Honey, it rang and rang *

* Even the cops thought
you were wrong for hanging up *

* I dial drunk,
I'll die a drunk *

* I beg you, sir,
just let me call *

* I'll give you
my blood alcohol *

* I'll rot with all the burnouts
in the cell *

* I'll change my faith,
I'll kiss the badge *

* Let's wait,
I swear she'll call me back *

* "Son, why do you
do this to yourself?" *

* And I said *

* I ain't proud of all the
punches that I've thrown *

* In the name of someone
I no longer know *

* For the shame of being young,
drunk, and alone *

* Traffic lights
and a transmitter radio *

* Honey, it rang and rang *

* Even the cops thought you were
wrong for hanging up *

* I dial drunk,
I'd die a drunk *

* I'd die for you *

[ Cheers and applause ]

Whoo!

**

Way to go, Hailey, Jaelen!

Hailey, your voice
is so stylized.

I love that old-school thing.

I miss Reba.

[ Laughter ]

She's still here.

[ Laughter ]

When someone like you
walks up onstage and it's real,

I just love it.

Thank you very much.

Jaelen,
every time I talk to you,

I try to do my deepest voice.

You looked the loosest
that I've seen you.

You have such a distinct voice.

But I have to say for me,
who I felt won this knockout,

it was Hailey.

Okay.

One of the interesting things
about this particular knockout

is that it's a rematch
from the battles.

It's so interesting that
Kelsea is forcing

this difficult decision
on herself once again.

Um...
Rookie move!

Yodeling is not easy --

the intervals that
somebody has to sing

without, like, jumping
all over the pitch.

To watch you be
able to do that so well,

Hailey, I was
really impressed.

And then, Jaelen, you came
out here with a lot of charisma

and your voice
sounded great.

Both of them
did an excellent job.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Oh!

So, I didn't realize
it was a rematch.
Yeah.

Here's what's crazy
about that.

Jaelen, you're always on a base
level of good that I'm a fan.

I turned around for you.

I would have chosen you
in the battles.

But then Hailey gets saved,
comes out here

and does what she did,
and I'm thinking to myself,

if you guys are going best
of seven, you know,

like, it's 1 to 1.

Welcome to the NBA.

With Hailey,

I want to see more
because I feel like in a way

this is our first real shot
of her best.

You guys are both great.
Jaelen, you know I love you.

But I'm going with
Hailey today.

Daly: Thank you, coaches.

Kelsea, tough decision
coming up.

What did you think about
the knockout?

I don't think that I've seen
a jump from rehearsal to stage

as big
as what you both just did.

Jaelen, I love that
you picked "Dial Drunk"

because I wanted to see
something a little more upbeat.

You moved so much.
I'm so proud of you.

You were boot-scootin' boogiein'
all over the stage.

Hailey, you were saying that
you were a little bit nervous,

and this is time to kind
of put personality out there.

We're yodeling.
Let's go. Let's go, girls.

And I said,
sometimes when I'm nervous,

I almost have to like become
a character of myself.

And it helps my nerves.
I like that.

I feel like you did that.

And I'm just...

I'm like, losing sleep.

Sorry.

[ Laughter ]

Ugh, okay.
I feel queasy. Um...

It's a tough one, Kelsea.
It really is.

Who is the winner
of this knockout?

Oh, my God.

Mm!

[ Sighs ]

[ Dramatic music plays ]

Phew! Okay.

I am gonna go with...

...Jaelen.

Jaelen, congratulations!

You're moving on
to the playoffs!

Jaelen: I really wasn't
expecting that.

So I definitely feel like

I have a little something
extra to prove next round.

Give it up one more time
for Hailey Wright!

Jaelen versus Hailey
was very tough

because I chose the artist
to move forward

based on the whole time
on "The Voice."

Whatever you need,
I'm here.

And I did that because

the word I always use for Jaelen
is steady.

Use it.
Text me. Okay.

Hailey, since the battle,
there was so much growth.

But Jaelen has
this traditional-leaning voice

with that storytelling element,

and it feels not dissimilar
to what we're hearing

on country radio right now.

I think he's a dark horse
in this competition.

If I had a steal, I would have
probably used it for Hailey.

She was just this authentic,

incredible artist
that blew me away.

That was hard.

Daly: Who was the biggest mover

on the national leaderboard
this week?

Play along on
the "Voice" official app.

You could be the next fan
to take the top spot.

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back
to the knockouts

at Universal Studios Hollywood.

Are you holding
for someone?

I am.
It's exactly what I'm doing.

Kelsea:
I'm holding on to my steal

for someone not only
unlike anyone else on my team,

but unlike anyone else
on the show and beyond.

[ Laughs ]
We're little
"Charlie's Angels" girls.

Let's -- Let's go, baby.
Let's go.

We have a redhead
and a brunette.
Let's go. Yes.

We're just missing
our blonde.
Look at us.

I paired Jacquelyn and Olivia
for this knockout.

They're both powerful singers.

Olivia, she's a bit more sultry.

Not me nervous about to play
piano for John Legend, okay.

And Jacquelyn,
her voice is more piercing.

It is knockouts.
Let's go.

What have you chosen
for yourself?

I have chosen
"Too Little, Too Late" by JoJo.

Oh, cool.

This song,
she conveys so much emotion.

And I feel like that is
what I want to do.

Amazing.
And it's about heartbreak.

And I've gone through
heartbreak.
Channel that.

* Come with me,
stay the night *

* You say the words,
but, boy, it don't feel right *

My husband and I
are high school sweethearts.

We were engaged for four months
when I was 21 years old.

But we decided to break it off.

I was like, "I don't even know
if I'm ready to be married."

* Let me on down *

I wrote a hundred songs
while we were on our break,

and it kind of brought us
back together stronger.

* Your chance
has come and gone *

* Did you know
it's just... *

So, 2021, we got engaged again,

and now we've been married
for three years.

I really want to showcase
to John

that I can sing pop-soul music

and, you know,
put a little R&B spin on it.

* Yeah *

* Too little *

* Too late *

Jacquelyn really wants to do
a pop-soul kind of vibe,

and this song really is
a great choice for her.

I just want to make sure she
really connects with this song,

delivers a passionate,
beautiful performance.

* Late *

Wow.
Your range is crazy.

Let's think about
the ending.

Because you're giving us
so much passion

leading up to that ending,

having it drop off feels like
it leaves you hanging.

Right.
I think the approach
needs to be,

don't be so mellow
at the end.
Mm. Okay.

It might just be a matter of
just staying in your chest voice

and -- and making the ad libs
more passionate.

Okay.
Maybe don't end on the run.

End on the lyric.
Lyric.

* A little too late *

* It's just too little
too late *

Olivia: Jacquelyn is
an amazing singer.

She's riffing her way around.
Her tone is crazy.

It's gonna be great.

In order to win this knockout,

I want to show
a different side of myself.

I want to show John that
I can handle a bigger number.

Olivia, I see you have
a keyboard there.

Yeah, I'm taking a risk.
I decided I would play.

Alright, I love it.

It shows people
you're multitalented,

you're a musician.

If it works,
it really works.

Okay.

* Last dance *

* Last chance *

I'm singing "Last Dance"
by Donna Summer.

This song is about
living in the moment

and living every single day
as if it's your last.

Yes.
* You *

My dad passed away 14 years ago.

He had early-onset Alzheimer's

that started
when I was a teenager.

* To guide me *

I had tried to prepare myself
as much as I could.

But you're never really prepared
for certain things in life.

If I could go back in time, I
would spend every day with him.

* 'Cause when I'm bad,
I'm so bad *

He was so supportive
of my music.

I think he would love
to -- to see this.

* So let's dance *

John: Olivia, she took a little
bit of a left turn for me here.

She picked a disco song.

* Tonight *
Yeah.

I see her as more sultry
and jazzy.

If she nails it, it can
really add some dimension

to how she's perceived by
the coaches and by our audience.

* Ohhhhhh *

Whoo! Alright.
Okay.

You went big
at the end there.

That was a note
right there.
Alright.

I like it on the piano.
Okay. I like it, too.

When you're singing
on the beginning,

just make sure
you give me vocal.
Yeah.

Sometimes it felt like

you weren't completely focused
on the vocal.

Your tone
is so gorgeous.

I just want it
to really ring through.

Especially
on that slow part,

you just want it to be
like butter, you know?

Alright. Cool.

John is an amazing coach.

He's been really good for me

because I want to be
a contemporary R&B artist.

He's very intuitive.
He's very musical.

And I love the feedback.

You're giving it style
at the beginning,

more, like, seduction,
more flavor.

So I want to keep
that flavor and style...
Yes.

...find a few style
and grace moments

even in the up-tempo part.

Love that. Yes.
Okay?

This is another one
of those times when I'm like,

"How am I going to decide?"

I'm just going to see
who delivers in the moment

when it really counts.

When the pressure's on,
who delivers?

That's who's gonna
win the knockout.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Whoo!
Jacquelyn!

With "Too Little, Too Late,"
here's Jacquelyn George.

**

* Mmmm *

* Come with me,
stay the night *

* You say the words,
but, boy, it don't feel right *

* What do you expect me to say *

* You know it's just
too little too late *

* You take my hand
and you say you've changed *

* But, boy, you know
your begging don't fool me *

* Because to you
it's just a game *

* You know it's just
too little too late *

* So let me on down *

* 'Cause time
has made me strong *

* I'm starting to move on *

* I'm gonna say this now *

* Your chance
has come and gone *

* Did you know *

* It's just too little
too late *

* A little too wrong *

* And I can't wait *

* You know all the right
things to say *

* You know it's just
too little too late *

* You say you dream of my face *

* But you don't like me *

* You just like the chase *

* To be real
it doesn't matter anyway *

* You know it's just
too little too late *

* I'm in love *

* With all my heart, baby *

* That's the way to live *

* Oh *

Ooh, yeah.
* Oh *

* Just too little too late *

* Yeah, yeah *

* Too little *

* Too late *

* Oooo *

Whoo!
[ Laughs ]

* You know it's just
too little too late *

* You just like
the chase, baby *

* Oh *

* Ah-ah, ooh-oooooh *

* You know it's just
too little too late *

[ Cheers and applause ]

Whoo!

Yes. Yes.

Let's go, Olivia!

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Let's go, Olivia!

Now with "Last Dance,"
here's Olivia Kuper Harris.

* Ooo *

* Last dance *

* Last chance *

* For love *

* Oh *

* I need you *

Whoo!

* By me *

* Beside me *

* To guide me *

* Oh, I do *

* To hold me *

* To scold me *

* 'Cause when I'm bad *

* I'm so *

* Bad *

Damn!

* So let's dance
the last dance *

* Let's dance the last dance *

* Let's dance
the last dance *

* Tonight *

* Last dance *

* Last chance *

* For love *

Whoo!
Hey!

* Yes, it's my last chance *
Yeah!

* For romance tonight *

* Oh, I *

* I need you by me *

* Beside me to guide me, babe *

* To hold me, to scold me *

* 'Cause when I'm bad *

* I'm so, so bad *

* So, come on, baby *

* Dance that dance *

* Come on, baby *

* Dance that dance *

* Come on, baby *

* Let's dance tonight *

* Oh ohhhh *

[ Cheers and applause ]

Yeah!

Wow.

Wow. Well, you know,
I had the unique pleasure

of turning around and being
denied by both of you.

[ Laughter ]

Jokes aside, Jacquelyn,
the crazy falsetto

you hit at the end was wild.
Yeah.

You did a great job tonight,
Jacquelyn.

You really, really did.
Thank you.

Olivia, you really kind of blew
away my expectations tonight.

That was big-time wow.

Wow. Thank you.

Jacquelyn,
I love that song choice

'cause it allowed you to play
at the knockouts at "The Voice."

So, I'm so proud for you that
you took that in for yourself.
Yes.

Oh. Thank you.

Olivia, that first part
made me want to go home

and make out with my boyfriend.

It was so strong and sexy.

And then you got up and you
showed, like, the playful side.

As Adam would say, in very
caveman terms, big-time wow.

[ Laughter ]

Did you just make fun of me?
You made fun of me.

I did make fun of you.

Thanks a lot.

Michael: Big-time wow.

Both the song choices
literally made me

want to go and make out
with Kelsea's boyfriend, too.

[ Laughter ]

Jacquelyn, you need to be
a Disney princess.

There's such sweetness

and there's such youth
in that voice.

I thought you killed it.

Thank you.

Olivia, this was the first time
in Season 27

that we've seen
someone play keyboards.

I love that. You know, it allows
you to center in on your pitch.

And when you sing
on your vowels,

there's a Celine Dion sound
to your voice.
Wow.

I will not be saying
which one I choose

because I feel like
both of you killed it.

Daly: Thank you, coaches.

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

I'm so proud of both of you.

Jacquelyn, you know, everyone's
raving about your soprano,

and it is really special.

Like, very few people
can effortlessly sing

those high notes that you sing
with such clarity and beauty.

You should be so proud
of yourself.

Thank you, John.

Olivia, you gave
such a confident performance.

It felt like you knew
when to be more sultry and sexy,

when to have more fun with it.

It was just beautiful
throughout.

Thank you.

John, tough decision here,
but the time has come.

Who is the winner
of this knockout?

[ Dramatic music plays ]

The winner
of this knockout...

...is Olivia.

Olivia, congratulations.

You are in the playoffs
for Team Legend.

Olivia: I wanted to show
a different side of myself.

I'm so happy that they loved it.

Team Legend.
Let's go.

Give it up
for Jacquelyn George.
Thank you.

Jacquelyn, the super-high
range that she's able to do

is pretty stunning.

But Olivia -- Wow.

She nailed it with style,
with control.

And when she leans into that
jazzy tone, it's really special.

And there's really no one else
like her in the competition.

That was better than rehearsal
by, like, a significant amount.

It's like every note
she was like,

"Oh, I'm gonna manipulate you.
I got you."

That was awesome.
Bro, she, like,
had full command of that.

John: Yeah.

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back
to "The Voice."

Marker.

[ Speaks foreign language ]

Kameron: Being here
in the knockouts,

like, it's baffling to me.

I'm a kid from Kansas.
I'm in Hollywood.

Should I shrink down like this,
make you look taller like that?

Yeah.
[ Laughs ]

What's happening, my people?
Kameron: Not much.

Just chilling.
Wow. This is the slowest walk
anyone's made.

[ Speaking
in slow motion ]

Jadyn versus Kameron,

I paired them together
because they're both young,

incredibly sweet voices,
dulcet tones.

Either one of them
could go on to be pop stars.

So, what's up, eh?

Excited.
Are you excited?

This is, like,
still like a dream to me.

For me, too.

No, seriously, like,
I love this part.

I do too. It's fun.
This is so amazing.

I'm very excited.
Look where I am.

[ Laughs ]

So I'm singing "Keep Holding On"
by Avril Lavigne.

Wow. It's like
a Canadian fest today.

I love performing rock.

* You're not alone *

* Together we stand *

But I do have a softer voice.

And this song is rock,

but it still has
that softer side to it.

So I think it's,
like, a perfect mix.

* Keep holdin' on *

Being in Nebraska
and there not being,

like, a ton
of opportunities...
Yeah.

...I just kind of kept
in the back of my mind,

like, keep holding on.

Yeah, you've done
incredibly well.

I think my younger self
would be very proud of myself.

She's just a little weird kid

that didn't really know
where to fit in.

I feel like I fit in
in entertainment

'cause you can be weird
and it's entertaining.

* Ooh *
As a kid, I always wanted to do
musical theater and act.

I knew I wanted to be onstage.

Now performing as an artist,
it's like a safe space

just to kind of express myself
and have fun.

* Keep holdin'... *

Kameron: Her voice,
I would kind of compare it

to, like, Billie Eilish,

maybe a little bit
of Evanescence in there.

I was shaking in my boots
a little bit, you know.

She's amazing.

Thank you.
[ Laughs ]

I like watching
how shy you are.

The high notes,
if they're weird for you...

They're a little weird
for me.
Then change them.

Choose the notes
that are best suited

to your voice
and your range.

You're not doing a cover.
Yeah.

You're doing
an interpretation.
Okay.

I don't have a massive,
rangy voice.

So instead of doing the runs,
I just make it mine.

There's a charisma
and an X factor that she has,

and you would think
that one of the things

that she has to work on
is the confidence,

but it's one of the things
that makes her so endearing.

My daughters and I have
Taylor Swift dance parties.

At some point,
no joke,

I'm gonna be
in my kitchen in Vancouver,

and I'm gonna
be asking for your song,

and then I'm gonna dance
with my daughters,

and I'm gonna be
so proud of myself,

'cause I was here
and I got to be

a little itty-bitty,
baby part of it with you.

I do see her having a career,
filling up arenas.

I think a lot of young women
are gonna relate to her.

She's a star in the making.

What Avril Lavigne song
have you chosen, Kameron?

Kameron: None that I'd
be able to sing.

Is it an
Alanis Morissette song?
Mnh-mnh.

Jann Arden.
Mnh-mnh.

I'm gonna go for more
Canadian artists just hoping.

See, I was about to say, I don't
know anybody you just said.

[ Laughter ]

I'm singing "Say You Won't
Let Go" by James Arthur.

It's the first song
I learned on the guitar,

but it is a hard,
hard song for me to sing.

Why?
The falsetto part of it.

I like that you
challenge yourself.

I like that.

* Then you smiled
over your shoulder *

Kameron: I like how being
a singer-songwriter,

you can give people a feeling.

* To my chest *
Nice.

James Arthur
completely writes on feelings,

and this song portrays
who I want to be as an artist.

It's about wanting to stay
with somebody you love.

My stepdad, he showed me
how a woman should be treated.

He worships the ground
that my mom walks on.

He's been in my life
since I was a little baby.

I've always called him Dad.

Farther I've been on this show,
pressure definitely builds.

I love seeing my family happy.

If I made it to playoffs, they'd
be going crazy in the stands.

* Just say you... *
Jadyn: Watching Kameron's
rehearsal, I'm very nervous.

He started singing his falsetto,
I was like...[Sighs]

It is encouraging me to, like,
get it together.

* I wanna live with you *

Michael: When you look at
the music of James Arthur,

you see this eclectic
kind of soul pop.

You could see Kameron
going that way.

But what I really dig
about Kameron,

he brings something
very different.

It's just a matter
of who he is as an artist

and his ability to find stuff
that he can make his own.

Your falsetto
sounds so pretty.

I didn't know you could do that.
That's pretty good.

Thank you.
Nerves.

They always get to me.

How do you
deal with them?

What I like to do
before I go onstage,

I like to close my eyes.
Mm-hmm.

Then you say, "Hey,
thank you so much

for giving me the gift
of falling in love with music.

Thank you for giving me
this chance."

And you'll understand
that it's a gift.

Once you sing
the first few notes,

things are gonna be okay.
Yeah.

Seriously, no matter
what happens,

be in the moment
and enjoy every single second.

And you don't have to look at me
when you're singing,

'cause it's weird.
I got you.
Yeah, I was trying not to.

I was, like,
looking at that.

I got these
big green eyes

that will just suck you in
like a tractor beam.

I was talking about,
like, your smile.

Like, everybody talks about
the big old pearlies you got.

That's what everybody
talks about.

Oh, my God.

This matchup
between Jadyn and Kameron,

both of them are gonna have
nerves, and that happens.

They're young, and this is
a really scary situation.

But whoever has
the most potential,

that's who's gonna go through
to the playoffs.

[ Cheers and applause ]

With "Keep Holding On,"
here's Jadyn Cree.

**

* You're not alone *

* Together we stand *

* I'll be by your side *

* You know
I'll take your hand *

* When it gets cold *

* And it feels like the end *

* There's no place to go *

* You know I won't give in *

* No, I won't give in *

Yeah, girlfriend.

* Keep holdin' on *

* 'Cause you know
we'll make it through *

* Just stay strong *

* 'Cause you know
I'm here for you *

* I'm here for you *

* There's nothing you can say *

* There's nothing you can do *

* And there's no other way
when it comes to the truth *

* So keep holding on *

* 'Cause you know
I'm here for you *

* Hear me when I say,
when I say I believe *

* Nothing's gonna change,
nothing's gonna change destiny *

* Whatever's meant to be
will work out perfectly *

* Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah *

* Keep holdin' on *
* Holdin' *

* 'Cause you know
we'll make it through *

* There's nothing you can say,
nothing you can do *
* Just stay strong *

* There's no other way
when it comes to the truth *
* 'Cause you know
I'm here for you *

* Keep holdin' on *

* 'Cause you know
we'll make it through *

[ Cheers and applause ]

Yeah.

Yeah!
Yes, Jadyn.

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back
to the knockouts.

Michael: Go, Kameron.

You got this, brother.

[ Laughter ]

You can do it!

Kelsea: Oh, my word.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Now with "Say You Won't Let Go,"
here's Kameron Jaso.

**

* 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 you *

* 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 when I needed you most *

* So I wrote this song for you *

* Now everybody knows *

* That it's just you and me
until we're grey and old *

* Just say you won't let go *

* Just say you won't let go *

* Just say you won't let go *

* Just say you won't let go *

[ Cheers and applause ]

Okay.

Nice, Kam.

Wow. That was so good,
both of you.

That was really beautiful.

Kameron, I feel like this is my
favorite performance of yours,

especially on the lower parts
and the mid parts of the song.

The only thing
that felt a little bit, like,

on less secure footing
was the falsetto,

but the texture of your voice
sounded so good.

Thank you. I appreciate that.
Thank you.

And, Jadyn,
I felt like just your tone,

it's really cool and different.

It's like you want to hear
records with that kind of voice.

It's this combination
of, like, scratchy

but also, like, airy
and gentle at the same time.

I would choose Jadyn.

Jadyn:
Thank you so much.

Adam: I'm gonna start with you,
Kameron.

It wasyour best performance.

And you know
what's awesome, man?

Your lower register,
it is dialed.

And, Jadyn, you know,
every time I see you sing,

I just become a bigger
and bigger fan of yours,

the purity of your voice.

And you're so different
than everything else

that's currently
on the competition.

So I would definitely
be going with Jadyn.

Thank you so much.
Thank you.

Kameron, you picked
a song by James Arthur.

You have a very similar quality
in your voice to James Arthur.

Amazing.

When I started writing songs,

guess who I listened to
all the time.

Taylor Swift.

And by the time I finally
got into the opportunities

to be in front of, like,
a record label or whatever,

I'll never forget, I was 14,

and I sang him a song
called "Flawless."

Her single was "Fearless."

[ Laughter ]
And he looked at me

and he said, "There's already
a Taylor Swift."

Wow.
And it broke my little
14-year-old heart at the time...

I'm gonna kill that guy.
...because it's all I wanted.

I'm just saying that to you

because when you
have opportunities

to keep playing songs,

make sure that you're still
in your individuality.

That's my biggest note for you.

Thank you,
thank you.

That was a cool story,
by the way.

It didn't help
that your second single

was called "Take It Off,"
either.

[ Laughter ]

That's my next single.
No one knows about it yet.

Daly:
Thank you, coaches.

Michael,
before you tell us who won,

what'd you think
of the knockout?

Kam, I'm deeply impressed
by the work you've put in.

I think
that you're gonna be a star.

And I just love watching you
come out

in the biggest, scariest moment
and executing.

Thank you so much.

Jadyn,
my favorite part about you

is that you don't know
how great you are,

and I find it refreshing.

You have a special voice.
It cuts through.

People, you know, they're
gonna love you for you.

And I'm so proud of you.

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

Alright, Michael,
we need to know,

who is the winner
of this knockout.

[ Down-tempo music plays ]

The winner
of this knockout...

...is Jadyn.

Jadyn Cree, congratulations.

You are moving on
to the playoffs.

Michael: Jadyn has a really
beautiful, clear, unique voice.

It's one of those voices

that we're gonna hear
on the radio one day.

Wow.
Where did that come from?

Of both seasons
that I've been here,

I think she may have
more star quality

than anyone
I've seen before.

I think she's gonna win
this thing.

Amazing.
I'm so happy for you.
Thank you so much.

Congratulations.

I'm looking forward to
just elevating everything.

Alright, see you at playoffs.

Team Bublé!

Kam, anything you want
to say to your coach?

Kameron: I've had the greatest
time of my life here.

I just thank you for that
so much.

My pleasure.
Kameron Jaso!

It's really incredibly sad
to see Kameron go home

'cause he's such a good kid.

But you're dealing with
a group of elite artists.

And this is what happens
trying to win

one of the greatest competitions
on the planet.

It's just -- It was
never gonna be easy.

He sounded great.
I was pleasantly surprised.

Just shows you how much
everybody improves, man.

It's crazy.

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back
to "The Voice."

I have my steal left,
but I'm being very strategic.

I remember
who I fought for before,

and I have my eye
on a couple people

that I'm just -- I'm being
very particular about.

Darius J: Are you excited?
Conor: Yeah, I'm ready to go.

This is a door, and
we're gonna walk through it.

Yeah, I'm excited.
But on this one, Adam Levine
is on the other side.

Yeah, true.

Adam: I paired Conor
and Darius J for this one.

Ooh, look at you guys.

I think Darius has faced
adversity in the battle rounds.

Kelsea and Michael
tried to snag him from me.

I gotta stick with Adam.
Yeah!

Adam: So if Darius
is gonna make it through.

I think in a weird way, like,
he has to go against the best.

And Conner's one
of the best I have on my team.

So tell me
about the song.

I'm singing "Forever Young"
by Alphaville.

Cool.
It's one of those songs

that feels, like,
inherently iconic to me.

It's also scary.
'Cause it's all here.

Yeah, man,
the whole song is like that.

A few tours ago,

I'd sing that refrain
at the end of that song.

Oh, sweet.
It's, like, tough.

Conor picked "Forever Young."

It's a great, challenging song.

It's a sing-it-to-the-rafters
song, which I always appreciate,

'cause, you know, it's good
to have those big moments.

So he definitely won
my approval there.

* Do you really
want to live forever *

* Oh, and ever *

I picked this song 'cause I
tend to really love synthesizers

and electronic sounds,

so it's kind of like the music
I produce at home for myself.

* Forever young *

I'm a full-time musician in L.A.

About four years ago, I taught
myself to produce music,

and ever since then,
I feel like

I've really started to grow
into my artistry,

just because I want
to push boundaries

and do new things that people
haven't seen or heard before.

And this song is
like an epitome of that,

because Alphaville decided
to do it in a way

that is heavily synthesized and
lots of electronic instruments.

So this is a cool opportunity.

So you have one
of those unique problems

where, like, everything you sing
sounds good.

Oh, thanks, man.

I just want it to soar
a little more, you know?

Like, the original
soars like crazy.
Yeah.

You know, it's like...
I'm missing some of that.
Yeah.

Everyone knows
* I want to live forever young *

* Do you really
want to live *

Like -- Like,
that stuff's important.

'Cause I change stuff
all the time

when I sing the songs that
I've been singing for years.

Of course.
But there's those things
you can't change

'cause they need to be able
to sing them with you.

Yeah.

* So many adventures
couldn't happen today *

Adam: Conor's one of those,
like, tried-and-true

world-class-ability singers.

If Conor just continues
to be Conor,

I think he's gonna be okay.

Key-wise,
it didn't, like --

like, shimmer
the way I wanted it to.

Yeah, dude, exactly.

I think I just want
a little more edge.

Man: Yeah, yeah.
Let's give it edge.

Switched a little bit
to electric.

See if that gives you
more of the vibe.

Not only is Adam giving me
stellar vocal notes,

he's also producing the song.

* Forever young *
Now I hear it.

* I want to be
forever young *

It was really cool to see Adam
work in that way,

'cause that's something
that I want to do

with my own career, as well.

That felt better.

That's way better
without acoustic,

and it's a better key
for you.

I think we needed
to make those little --
I do, too, yeah.

Alright, Darius.
Yeah.

It's your turn.
Conor: Let's go, baby.

The song I want to do
is "American Boy" by Estelle.

That song back then was just,
like, destroying.

Yeah.
Just happy.

And I think that represents
who I am as an artist, as well.

* Hey, mister *

* It's really, really nice
to meet you *

* I just met
this 5-foot-7 guy *

I chose this song because
it matches my personality.

It's super fun, super bubbly.

You love this song because
it puts you in a good mood,

just like Darius J.

* Take me on a trip,
I'd like to go some day *

* Take me to New York,
I'd love to see L.A. *

This artist I want to be
is the type of artist

that creates a feeling.

I'm very genre-fluid.

I'm also very outfit-fluid,
as well.

I love my outfits and my look
to show my personality.

Another way that
I like to show my personality

is through changing the colors
of my beard.

So one day you're gonna see
Mr. Blue Beard.

One day you're gonna see
Mr. Red.

There's literally nothing
I will not wear.

Feathers. Give me big lights.
Give me Vegas.

Give me more.
[ Laughs ]

First of all, great.
I love you.

I love you singing the song.
Oh, I love you, too.

The biggest challenge
with this song,

I think, is that it can
stay too even.

Yeah.
Like, it's not a big vocal.

It's cool.
It's playful and fun.

We got to
do something here.

You got to build the dynamic,
like, the whole time.

What about this
for that last chorus?

[ Both vocalizing ]

Exactly.
That's why you're my coach.

That's right, damn it!

* Take me on a trip,
I'd like to go some day *

Adam: Darius, he's more
than just his singing voice.

He's such a great,
flashy, awesome, fun performer.

I like how every time
he gets up there,

it's just about
the total package

of the -- of the performance
for him.

* Boy *

Darius J:
Adam has helped me grow.

He's given me the confidence,
kooky as Darius J wants to be,

but he's also challenged me
to push it even further vocally.

I want to show Adam that he made
the right choice by saving me.

Thank you, bro.

You guys are ready.
I'm ready.

Let's go, Conor.
Hey!

I'm nervous because Darius
is an incredible singer.

May the best man win.
[ Laughing ]

And boisterous and colorful
and loud.

I don't worry about you guys.
Okay, yeah.

This is gonna be
a really tough knockout.

[ Cheers and applause ]

[ Laughs ]

Oh, baby.

Okay, Darius.

There he is.

Let's go!

Now with "American Boy,"
here is Darius J.

I'd like to go some day *

* Take me to New York,
I'd love to see L.A. *

Hey!
Listen. He said...

* "Hey, mister, it's really,
really nice to meet you" *

* I just met this 5-foot-7 guy
who's just my type *

* I like the way he's speaking *

* His confidence is peaking *

* Don't like his baggy jeans *

* But I might like
what's underneath them *

Whoo!
* And, no, I ain't been to MIA *

* I heard that Cali
never rains *

* And New York's heart awaits *

* First let's see the West End *

[ Laughs ]

[ Cheers and applause ]

Yes, yes, yes, yes,
yes, yes, yes.

Too good.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Let's go, Conor!

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back.

With "Forever Young,"
here's Conor James.

**

* Let's dance in style,
let's dance for a while *

* Heaven can wait,

Hey!

some are like the heat *

* Some are a melody
and some are the beat *

* Sooner or later,
they all will be gone *

* Why don't they stay young? *

* So many adventures
couldn't happen today *

* So many songs
we forgot to play *

* So many dreams

* Forever young *

[ Cheers and applause ]

Wow!
Yeah, Conor.

Yeah!

**

Yeah!
Yeah, that's right! Yeah.

Well, I just really
thoroughly enjoyed that.

You guys both have such

this, like, beautiful
individuality to you.

And there is no world
that anyone's going home.

It can't happen.
That's, like -- It's illegal.

Let's go!

And I wouldn't do good
in jail, so...

[ Laughter ]

I would be great
in jail.

I don't know if that's true.
Anyway...

Conor, I love your voice.
I love its control.

I don't know if that was
the best choice of song.

There were limitations
structurally that -- that --

You could have picked -- You can
sing the alphabet, my friend.

You can sing anything.
Thank you.

Darius,
you lead with joy.

And let me say,
you look absolutely beautiful.

This old thing.
[ Laughs ]

And I love watching you.

You're owning every part
of yourself.

You sounded great.
I loved the performance.

Honest to God,
both of you are so adorable

and so talented
that I could not make a choice.

Good luck, Ad.

Darius, I was one of the writers
on that song.

And you just made it so fresh.

It made you forget about
the original.

It just made you focus
on your personality.

You are excelling really
at connecting with the audience.

So congratulations.

Conor, you've consistently been

one of the best vocalists
on this show.

Now, what I will say,

I want to feel a little bit more
emotion, passion, pathos.

And part of it's
about picking the songs

that make you feel that.

But just know your voice should
be in the finale on this show.

All you have to do
is to make sure you continue

to have a relationship
with the audience.

And so Darius was
more compelling today.

Daly: Thank you, coaches.

Adam, obviously,
decision is yours.

Darius, first of all,
really great job

of turning this into, like,

an even more
high-energy performance.

That was a hard thing to do.

You definitely
accomplished that today.

So congratulations, man.
Thank you. Thank you.

And then, Conor,
it was a great performance.

And that song's
a very difficult song to sing.

And you sung
the crap out of it.

So, I mean, between your voice

and then, Darius,
your showmanship,

honestly, this knockout round

felt like you were
both finalists.

Good job, Conor.
You too.

Daly: Adam, you got
a tough decision to make here.

Who is the winner
of this knockout?

I have a feeling the universe
is gonna do as it should here.

The winner of this knockout...

...is Conor.

Conor, congratulations!

Adam: The possibilities are
kind of limitless with Conor.

That dude can just sing
like very few people can.

Great job, Conor.

His soulfulness, I want to
lean into that even more.

He's gonna be around a while.

Thank you guys.
Thank you.

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

Whoa!
I've been waiting for this
for so long!

We have a steal!

Darius is back
in this competition.

Let's go!

I think Darius is so special.

He has this certainty about him
and this joy and quirkiness.

I don't think I have anyone
on my team at that level

of full-encompassing
performer.

It's getting Darius.
Yeah.

I've fought so hard for Darius
since the jump.

You are such an artist,

and my gut is telling me
that I can do this with you.

I love you.

And I finally got him
on my team.

I finally got him.

I knew you weren't
going anywhere, yeah.

I am so giddy to work
with Darius J in the playoffs.

He's such a good dude.
You can't not love him.

Team Ballerini.
