Helping to prepare them all, 8-time grammy-winning superstar With 13 number-one singles and over 54 million albums sold We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky global icon rihanna.
I'm gonna pee my pants! I wanted to be an adviser on "the voice" because I'm a fan of the show.
Oh! I love giving back, and this is a rare opportunity where I get to do that with really talented artists.
What are you gonna sing? The artists will pick their own songs.
I'm not gonna lie to you.
I'm very nervous about this one.
Don't pick the right song, that could result in you going home.
You're singing that song with attitude.
I want you to be in the music, fantasize about the perfect man.
That was entertaining to watch you.
Rihanna is an incredible adviser.
Stretch the aaah bam! Yes! She's real Your voice is so beautiful, and I'm like, "aah! I just Aah! I want more!" And she lets it fly.
Have you thought of a nickname for me? Toad? Mm-hmm.
What?! Their opponents will be a surprise.
At this point, we're cutting our teams in half.
The stakes are super high, and they should be ready to go to war.
Whoo! I like that.
I got to go, I got to go we are really starting to see some stars emerge before our eyes.
Wow.
Holy moly! Whoo! You should be on the show, but so should you.
And with each coach having only one steal There it is! A knockout steal! Come on! Every note will count.
Blake Shelton is in! Two steals! Wah! I know your moves before you make them, baby! That's what I'm talking about.
The incredible knockouts start right now.
This season, our coaches have brought in key adviser, superstar rihanna, to help their teams in the knockouts.
I decided a long time ago on the show, like, make them feel good, give them the right tools, and, like, nurture them, almost.
You're like a dad, and these are your kids.
They become your kids.
My babies.
Rihanna is gonna be an incredible adviser.
She is so fiercely her own thing and so unique and so special.
We're all taking hip-hop classes on my team.
I'll be here like this.
She's just, like, a pleasure to be around.
She's a really refreshing spirit in the universe.
Let's dial it back.
The knockouts is when your team starts to take serious shape.
You really start to see who's got the warrior spirit for this.
Yes.
My team is stronger than ever, but they have to continue to grow.
I got some tough decisions.
Here is the pairing going voice-to-voice for this team Adam knockout! Twins! Before we get to this knockout, let's take a look at how they prepared for tonight's matchup.
I put Andi & Alex and Blaine together because he speaks to the off-the-beaten-path thing that I think Andi & Alex can also relate to.
Hello, girls.
How are you? Hi.
All right, freak out.
Hi.
It's okay.
All of a sudden, we see rihanna, and it's like, "no way.
" Twins.
Yes.
Yes.
Wow.
Very beautiful.
Oh, my gosh.
How are you? Is this real life? It was just crazy.
Do you guys sing together all the time? Yeah.
All the time.
We've been singing together since we were itty-bitty.
Having this opportunity has, like, given us this chance to do this.
For our blind audition, we had all four chairs turn around.
I think you guys are one of the most perfectly fitting duos I've ever heard.
We picked Adam.
He is super encouraging.
And we want to keep making him proud.
The winner of this battle is Andi & Alex.
This whole experience has definitely ignited our love for music together.
And it's a last chance at our childhood dreams coming true.
What song is it? "Stupid boy" by Keith urban.
Nice.
Uh-huh.
Rihanna thought that song was about me.
Makes sense.
Girl power.
It's all right.
The type of music that we play is alternative indie folk.
But I think doing a country song will show Adam that we are kind of diverse.
She was precious like a flower Andi & Alex You can tell they have their own vibe, and and I adore that.
She laid her heart and soul right in your hands your harmonies are crazy.
That's so good, you guys.
Together, you guys sound so incredible, but it's almost like you're afraid of your own voice.
Yes.
Yeah.
And you have to be bold by yourself.
That's not a volume thing.
Okay.
It's more the presence.
The guitar scares me a little.
I don't ever like to feel like you're backing up your sister.
Can we maybe try this one without the guitar? Absolutely.
Andi & Alex They've always been great at singing these ethereal, eerie harmonies.
She never even knew she had a choice they are not even from this planet.
So, in the beginning, I wouldn't even mind if you were kind of facing away from each other.
Okay.
Because I've never seen that with a duo.
Yeah.
Ooh, that's really strong.
"Stupid boy" Like, this is personal.
You're obviously not talking about the same boy, so you can't share that thought with your sister.
If you're standing over here, like, okay, like, I'm over here.
You know, and one of you over here.
Yeah.
You got both of these quadrants here.
And then you come together, and it's like, "whoa!" It's like you guys are in separate bedrooms Yeah.
And you're venting to yourself and, like, just upset.
And then you can rejoice in coming together.
Okay.
Lift the song with a whole other dynamic.
You guys are incredible.
Before the blinds, I was playing in a band with my brother, 250 shows in a year.
So, getting a blind audition was surreal.
Gwen and Blake both turned around for me.
That note that you hit, and you just held for a long time, and then your voice kind of got gravelly and raspy I'm a fan, dude.
Blake's an awesome coach.
I think you should rock out like you normally would.
Sweet.
It's a front-man thing, and we wish we could move like that.
I like that old time rock 'n' roll the winner is blind Joe.
So, I lost the battle to Joe, but Adam was like "boom!" That is a steal! This dude's a rock 'n' roll star.
My heart fell through my jeans.
Come on home.
I feel like I found a home on team Adam.
He's got a thing.
Yeah.
I'm singing James bay's "hold back the river.
" I feel like I'm gonna be able to let the audience and the coaches see who I am as an artist.
I love Blaine.
The moment he starts to sing, it's like he's been doing this forever.
He is sick.
So different, and I live for it.
All these weird hands and stuff, like, don't ever stop that.
The second half was ridiculous.
I want the first half to have the same kind of, like The beginning.
Clarity Yeah.
Ln those quieter, more haunting moments.
When you get to that big part at the end, you know, build it.
Cool.
Michael hutchence is what I think of.
Mm.
That dude was so badass, and he didn't do too much.
Getting feedback from rihanna and Adam, it's a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Yeah! Boom! I knew there was a reason I wanted you on my team! That's awesome.
How ballsy! I love it! You act like you literally just walked off of a warped tour.
How do you know how to do that already? Blaine is not a fake cliché rock 'n' roll dude.
He's a real rock 'n' roll dude.
But Andi & Alex, their harmonies are just godsent.
It's like listening to angels.
It's anybody's ballgame.
And now singing "hold back the river," here is Blaine Mitchell.
Tried to keep you close to me tried to square not being there but thinking I should have been hold back the river, let me look in your eyes can stop for a minute and be by your side hold back the river, hold back hold back the river, let me look in your eyes can stop for a minute and be by your side wow.
Wow! Wow.
Attaboy! With "stupid boy," here are Andi & Alex.
She was precious like a flower the perfect prayer in a desperate hour she was everything beautiful and different you can't fence that in it's like holding back the wind she laid her heart and soul right in your hands you stole her every dream and you crushed her plans she never even knew she had a choice it took a while for her to figure out whoo! Big hand for Andi & Alex and Blaine! Holy moly! Nice job, all three of you.
Let's start with Blake Shelton.
Blake? Well, Blaine, I'm man enough to say that I probably screwed up by letting you go, dude.
Unbelievable.
Unbelievable.
I appreciate that, man.
I appreciate it.
Alex, have you done a lot of the lead? Um, yeah.
Because of that, I didn't realize, Andi, you have such a beautiful, airy voice, too, with a lot of volume.
That was a surprise to be able to hear you stand out on your own right there.
That's gonna give something for Adam to think about.
The only disadvantage you have is not choosing a song so dynamic like Blaine.
Wow.
Discovering Andi's voice this time a bit more does lead you to the question, "man, how come they couldn't have a song that really showcases what you guys do together and separately a little bit better?" And then, Blaine, the moment that you just had is what every artist should aspire to experience.
Everybody in the room gets to discover that there's so much more there than we ever thought.
That's awesome.
Thanks, pharrell.
Andi & Alex, I just keep thinking, "how cool would it be to have someone else that looks like you that, like, you really like?" Yeah, and you're freaking out.
You're about to sing and you're like, "hey, what's up? We got this.
" Like like, that makes it so much easier.
Poor Blaine.
He doesn't have an identical twin to stand next to him and be like, "hey, man" "We got this, bro.
" Anyways, you guys are incredible.
Thank you so much.
Blaine, you know, you have something that's so rare Being in the moment and experiencing that The emotion of the song It was incredible to watch.
Thanks, Gwen.
Adam, it is all up to you, brother.
Ah, yes.
Andi & Alex, it was very important that you managed to separate yourselves enough as individuals to kind of shine in this moment.
Really, really fantastic job.
Thank you so much.
And, Blaine, I chose you on a complete whim.
But you came into my sight, I was like, "wow.
This guy has got this really special thing that I was foolish enough not to pick up on.
" And thank God I did.
Thank you.
That's awesome.
That's awesome.
The power of it is amazing.
Adam Who is the winner of this knockout? The winner of this knockout Is Blaine.
Blaine is gonna move on to the live playoffs, representing team Adam.
Oh, my God.
My heart is just pounding out of its chest.
Adam saw something in me.
That just means an absolute ton.
Coaches, let me remind you, Andi & Alex are available to steal.
Guys, anything you want to say to your coach? Thank you so much for giving us the chance.
And you've just been so incredible.
A big hand for Andi & Alex, everybody! I love those girls so much.
Come here.
I'm so proud of you guys.
But Blaine's voice is as strong as his presence.
That's a big deal.
Good luck, sweetie.
Thank you so much.
I didn't use my steal on Andi & Alex because I saw them be a little bit off.
I only have one steal, so I'm being extra picky.
Hey, brother.
This guy, like I know.
It's ridiculous.
Blasted all expectations, like, way out of the water.
He's a rock 'n' roll star, that guy.
I think he's one of your strongest.
Like, really strong.
Still to come We were talking about slicking your hair back! With a part to the side.
Gwen and rihanna give Braiden sunshine a makeover Whoo! That our coaches get behind.
That's insane! It was like, "see ya later, puberty.
" Harry Potter auditioned, and now Michael bublé is standing up here.
And later The knockouts 'Cause I set fire to the rain have our coaches going crazy What is happening?! And ready to steal.
We got a steal! Hey! Blake Shelton! That's what I'm talking about.
Welcome back to night one of the knockouts at universal studios Hollywood.
I actually have a really strong team.
I just want people that are able to touch other people.
Come on, come on, come on.
Each artist really has to show me that they want to be here.
They got to prove it.
I paired Braiden and Ellie together.
They both have really great personalities.
Whoever shows me that growth is gonna win the knockout.
Before "the voice," there has never been a point where I just am alone on a stage.
It was pretty nerve-racking without a band behind me.
Yeah, you gotta love the pain I do know how to help you.
I pick Gwen.
For the blinds, I had a guitar on stage.
For the battles, there was another person.
You're a little more risky.
That's the fun of it.
The winner of this battle is Braiden.
But now it's just me.
I'm 15, and I'm the youngest person here.
I want to prove that I'm a real contender.
It's a new dawn, it's a new day for my knockout, I'll be singing "feeling good" by Michael bublé, because I listen to Frank Sinatra, ray Charles, and a lot of people my age don't do that.
So I thought this would be a cool song to show that older side of things.
It's a new day, it's a new life Braiden He's just this 15-year-old boy in nerdy glasses and this curly hair.
But the voice that comes out of him is scary.
Who are you inside of that tiny body? I had a voice crack, and I was like, "ew.
" If your voice cracks, just commit to the note.
Those imperfections are what is gonna make the character of your voice.
I feel like you were rushing it a little bit at the end, just like Take your time.
I think the hardest thing for Braiden is getting comfortable in his own skin.
Maybe you could just take this off and just do the second part, but live the character in the song.
If you're gonna do a song that's this kind of theatrical, go there.
He should slick his hair back or something.
He won't let me.
He won't let me slick his hair back.
Whoo! Yeah! Whoever that was that just showed up, that's who you are.
We were talking about slicking your hair back! With, like, a part to the side.
I tried last time, and he said that his friend wouldn't speak to him if he put his hair back.
Well, your friend would when you're making money, honey.
Oh! To go from a town where people whisper about you when you walk by, with your tattoos and your blue hair, to be here, where you're celebrated for it, that's awesome.
We don't have to take our clothes off wow.
At blinds, I turned three chairs.
She is my idol! She revolutionized for all women in bands.
Oh, my God! That is her! Yes! Gwen as a coach is like a dream come true.
You have really good natural instincts.
To have Gwen by my side to be able to kind of shape and mold me, I'm becoming the artist that I'm supposed to be, and I want to stay on team Gwen and I want to win.
Tell me if it's wrong if it's right, I don't care I chose "cool for the summer" by demi lovato because I've been singing low-tempo, mellow songs, and it's the kind of direction that I'm leaning a little bit more towards.
Got your mind on my body, and your body on my mind there's a lot of tempo in this song.
You need to stay in pocket.
You need to stay on beat.
Me down into your paradise if she gets too gentle with that, it can hurt her.
You're flat in a lot of parts, and I know that's just pushing it.
Yeah.
Tell me what you like, unh-unh unh, it's okay and if the The note is wide, just try to make it more narrow.
Okay.
You're the pop star of my team.
You need more sassiness.
Like, "okay, guess what, guys.
" Just taking a minute to be like, "okay, this is where I'm gonna sing, right here.
" And then you're gonna go, "okay.
" Now I'm gonna go, "oh, guess what, guys.
" She's got such a crazy-cool, fun personality when she brings it out.
Just needs to take it one level up.
I'm just gonna get out of my own head, 'cause it's more nerve-racking than what I thought it was gonna be, especially with With her being here.
I'll be a completely different person when you see me in knockouts, promise.
Singing "feeling good," here is Braiden sunshine.
Look how cute he is.
Look at that.
Did you do that? Wow.
It's a new dawn, it's a new day whoo! Yeah! It's a new dawn, it's a new day it's a new dawn, it's a new day yeah! It's a new life, it's a new life for me, yeah yes! Oh, my God! What is happening?! Whoa.
Whoo! What is going on?! Yeah! Wow.
Coming up Ellie Lawrence fights to remain on Gwen's team.
And later, rihanna Yes! And our superstar coaches show the artists how it's done.
That I never knew, never knew what was that gospel run? I want you to be just lost in the music.
That was entertaining to watch you.
Shut up.
Welcome back.
With "cool for the summer," here is Ellie Lawrence.
Tell me what you want, what you like, it's okay tell me if it's wrong, if it's right, I don't care I could keep a secret, can you? Got my mind on your body and your body on my mind got a taste for the cherry, I just need to take a bite take me down into your paradise don't be scared 'cause I'm your body type just something that we wanna try got my mind on your body and your body on my mind got a taste for the cherry, I just need to take a bite take me down into your paradise don't be scared 'cause I'm your body type just something that we wanna try give it up for Braiden and Ellie in the knockout! All right, let's start with Adam.
Braiden is amazing.
15, this guy.
And I got to say, man, it was like a bar mitzvah or something, because the hair is different, you got a suit on.
It was like, "see ya later, puberty.
" Harry Potter auditioned, and now Michael bublé is standing up here.
"Being a kid was cool, but, like, I'm a man with my suit and my tie, and I'm gonna sing the crap out of this song.
" I'm just so impressed by the massive bounds you've taken.
Thanks.
And, Ellie, when someone comes blasting out of a Cannon and no one was necessarily expecting it, it's really hard to recover.
I commend you for keeping it together up there.
That being said, I got to give this to Braiden.
Blake.
Man, Ellie is right up Gwen's alley.
Braiden, as a coach, when you can tell that you are effecting change in a positive way, that's why all four of us are sitting here doing this.
And, man, Braiden, in a short amount of time, I'm seeing it happen already with with you and Gwen, so congratulations, man.
Pharrell.
Who would have thought that a 15-year-old guy could come in here and handle that song the way that you did? Ellie, I think you chose a song that suited your personality, and you looked like you were having a good time.
I saw you out there actually fighting, and you were going for it.
Gwen, it all comes down to you.
What did you think? Ellie, it just felt like you didn't have as much control.
But you have so much personality and so much sparkle.
You're so unique.
I thought you did a great job.
Thank you.
Whoo.
Braiden, being able to choose the right song is a really big deal.
That means you know who you are, you know what you want to say.
It showed off exactly how talented you are.
I wanted to change your hair, and then rihanna was like, "comb the hair.
" Like, she was, like, so all over you, combing.
Dude, when I was 15, I couldn't even get a girl to talk to me, let alone have, like, rihanna and Gwen, like, give me fashion advice.
Is that not blow your mind? And you're like, "kicking it with rihanna and Gwen.
It's not a big deal.
Don't worry about it.
" Gwen, who's the winner of this knockout? Ellie, I love you.
Braiden, I love you.
I love this show.
I'm so inspired right now.
I have to say, the winner of this knockout Is Braiden sunshine.
Braiden sunshine is moving on to the live playoffs Whoo! Representing team Gwen.
Whoo! Unbelievable.
Staying on team Gwen is gonna help me a lot because she helped me do what I just did.
I mean, I never would have done that.
All right, coaches, let me remind you, Ellie is available to steal.
Ellie, anything you want to say to Gwen? Um, to be able to meet my idol Oh, God.
And have her teach me, like, so much and change as an artist I want to cry, 'cause I just This, I've won.
I appreciate everything that you've given me.
Thanks.
And we appreciate you.
Ellie Lawrence, everybody! Thank you, Ellie.
Best of luck to you.
God.
I'm sorry.
Ellie did a great job, but Braiden, I have a feeling he's gonna continue to grow and surprise us all.
I didn't know you could do that.
I didn't know I could do that.
Gwen! Yes, he can do that.
I guess he can do that, right? I thought you looked awesome, and we'll just keep doing it.
We'll just keep changing it up.
What about Braiden, my little guy? Wow.
He's all grown's up.
I mean, what happened? Like a transformer.
How'd you do that? I'm that good, Blake.
Still to come The artists go above and beyond I want a Sunday kind of love to make it to the live playoffs I wasn't expecting you to do that.
You are a freak of nature.
I do not understand.
Leading to the most shocking decisions ever.
Hey! We got a steal! I cannot even believe that there's even this opportunity right now.
Wah! Welcome back to night one of the knockouts.
Hey, do you think me and you will ever be on, like, a nickname basis? Like riri Could I call you riri or something like that? Yeah.
Just want you to make up a nickname for me.
That's all I'm saying.
Done.
Okay.
You know, in the knockouts, I've got one goal, and that's to put together the best team I possibly can, moving into the live shows.
I want one of these artists to win this thing.
These are the artists going voice-to-voice for this team Blake knockout.
It's Barrett.
What do you think about this pairing? Barrett is a heck of a singer, and this is definitely gonna be a challenge for me.
Barrett? I love him as a singer, but I love him as a human being most of all.
And as they get ready for their performances, here's a look at this matchup.
I paired Barrett and blind Joe because they're my two strong country veterans.
They have so much experience, it only seems fair to put these two against each other.
My goal is really to honor the people that I endured the plane crash with.
Whoo! Are you, obviously, a professional singer? I'm a high-school teacher.
Oh, wow.
The way that you perform onstage, it was like watching garth up there.
I really think Blake has already helped me become a better artist.
You just have that thing that nobody can explain, but, clearly, we all like it.
And I can't wait to continue this journey and keep working hard And make my kids and my wife proud.
Get up here, boy! Barrett! Bar there he is.
Hi, Barrett.
Hey! Oh, wow.
Seeing rihanna, it was just like You're here.
"This is actually happening.
" And I love you, but I leave you I don't want you, but I need you I chose to sing "colder weather" by zac brown band because I really connect with the song lyrically.
It's very difficult for me to leave my kids and wife to go chase this dream, and that's really what "colder weather" is about.
When you were doing those really soft notes, make sure you always feel that vibration in your chest.
Got it.
She's right.
Sometimes you'll throw away the end of a phrase, like, really quick.
You'll do a little trill, and it's gone real fast.
Right now, I feel you're being polite in your performance.
Hmm.
I want to see you be engaged.
Barrett is going to have to steal our hearts.
He is going to have to commit to the emotions and he's gonna have to be fearless.
Before "the voice," I was working a full-time job, teaching visually impaired people how to use their smartphones and playing gigs on the weekends with the help of my beautiful wife, liann.
Coming into the blinds, I got a four-chair turn.
There's only one blind Joe in the freakin' world.
Blake, like, is the perfect coach for me.
Do I call you blind Joe? Yeah.
Be like me, "hey, fat Blake.
" We share the same sense of humor.
Just take those old records off the shelf we all are given our own gifts.
Yours was to sing and play that guitar.
Blind Joe.
Blake has really taught me a lot.
I really want to keep learning from him.
Mammas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys whoo.
For my knockout song, I chose "mammas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys" by waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson.
This song definitely showcases who I am.
I'm a honky-tonker.
Rihanna, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys oh, my goodness.
You got her.
You got to her.
What? What am I gonna do? What in the heck was that? What? I can barely even talk to you right now.
Wow.
You just ripped my heart out of my chest.
You stole it.
Oh, thank you.
Even before you went and threw my name in there.
When you run, it comes pouring out.
And that is so sexy, you have no idea.
Doesn't really get much better than rihanna calling you sexy.
You are incredible.
Thank you.
That means a hell of a lot.
This particular performance, it's about what you just did to rihanna.
Invest your heart into it.
I could tell you were nervous on the very, very last note.
The nerves I'm sorry.
Kind of block out the fact that this is a concert setting.
I just want to hear you sing the best that you can sing.
Blind Joe spent so much time playing in bars, and he likes to throw in a lot of ad libs and shout-outs to the crowd.
And I just need to hear him lay down the best vocal and then trust that I'm gonna make the right decision.
Well, sarge? Uh, I like that.
Pssh.
That's not gonna be your nickname.
Singing "colder weather," here is Barrett baber.
She'd take Colorado if he'd take her with him before the winter lets the cold in wonders if her love is strong enough she's answered by the taillights shining through the windowpane he said, "I wanna see you again but I'm stuck in colder weather maybe tomorrow will be better she said, "you're a ramblin', man you ain't ever gonna change you got a gypsy soul to blame and you were born for leavin'" and I love you, but I leave you I don't want you, but I need you whoo! That calls me back here, baby and I ain't never gonna change it's a shame about the weather but I know soon we'll be together I love you.
Coming up Mammas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys blind Joe gives it his all to advance to the live playoffs.
And later, one artist has our coaches fired up.
I cannot even believe you've possibly gone with sinéad o'Connor.
Thank you.
You're so delicious.
This girl could win the whole thing.
Hey, this would work a lot better if you would do this while you're saying all that.
If you would do that.
Welcome back to the knockouts.
And now, with "mammas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys," here is blind Joe.
Cowboys ain't easy to love, and they're harder to hold they'd rather give you a song than diamonds or gold lone star belt buckles and old faded levis if you don't understand him, or he don't die young he'll probably just ride away so, mammas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys whoo! Let 'em be doctors and lawyers and such mammas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys whoo! Thank you.
Big hand for Barrett and blind Joe! Whoo! Man, Blake, let's see if you can get some help.
Pharrell? Blind Joe, you just took that song to different heights, holding the notes for as long as you have.
I don't think that there's anyone in this room that didn't feel every intention that you had just now.
Thank you very much, pharrell.
Barrett, you just take people on this emotional excursion, and I think there's something supernatural about that.
You know, Blake's got a tough decision because he's dealing with two people who are Definitely have been touched.
Gwen? Blind Joe, I didn't know your voice was so powerful.
I think the thing about Barrett, though, is it's so clear who you are, and that is a sign of a true artist to communicate who you are and let people into your heart.
You do that so naturally.
- Thank you.
- Adam? It kind of felt like, tonight, Barrett was a super established, unbelievable country artist.
I think you can be one of those guys, no problem.
The way that you connect with the vocal is so authentic.
Wow.
Wow.
So, good job.
And thenble, I did feel how nervous you were.
I was.
But, still, you did an amazing job, too, man, and I'm a huge fan of yours, as well.
Thank you very much.
Well, Blake, it all comes down to you, pal.
Blind Joe, I got to say, I've heard you say that you're nervous, but I never rebut you're singing from you unagainst Barrett.
A bear would be nervous in a in a ring with him.
Yeah.
But, Barrett He should feel equally as intimidated by your talent, blind Joe.
I do.
You guys have both overcome so much in your lives, and you're standing up there on "the voice," and you're awesome.
It makes me want to be a better man, myself, you know? All right, Blake, we know it must be tough for you.
Who's the winner of this knockout? I have to make this decision based on one thing, and that's who I think sang the best just then.
And The winner of this knockout Is Barrett.
Barrett is gonna move on to the live playoffs, representing team Blake.
You never stop making music, man.
Thank you, daddy.
For me, I've always gotten to a certain level and not quite gone the next step, and that's why I'm really excited to work on.
I'm going to live playoffs.
Whoo! All right, coaches, let me remind you, blind Joe is available to steal.
Blind Joe, anything you want to say to Blake? Thank you for all the advice you gave me.
I sure enough appreciate you, brothe thank you, and I love you, man.
Thank you, man.
A big hand for blind Joe, everybody.
Blind Joe had a few little mishaps there, and Barrett is a little more polished.
Thank you, man.
Thank you for everything.
Barrett is able to conquer any genre of music he wants to conquer.
He could take country music to a place where it may not be at the moment, in terms of inspiration.
Mm-hmm.
Coming up Two of pharrell's most emotional singers You're in my blood like holy wine make an impact on our coaches.
Whoo! That made me feel like wanting to take, like, a bubble bath.
Excellent visual.
Thank you for that.
And later The knockout of all knockouts.
If I ain't got you, you, you, ahhhh welcome back to night one of the knockouts.
So, you want to take it for a spin? In the chair? Yeah.
I've actually been dying to do that.
Okay.
Tell me when.
Tell me when.
AndAction! Boom! I want to an "other" team to the playoffs, meaning not the same.
I'm looking for individuals.
I paired Amy versus madi because they both have these really delicate voices that also have power.
It's a very competitive spot between those two, 'cause they're both really good.
Before my blind, I was just a girl from Dallas doing gigs, like, every weekend.
There's something wrong here how old are you? I'm 16.
Oh, my God! Voices like yours really excite me.
I want what's different.
I pick pharrell.
Pharrell knows how to push you not too hard but just enough to where you surprise yourself.
Madi, you rose to the occasion.
You can't buy this kind of experience.
Just before our love got lost you said For my knockout performance, I chose "a case of you" by joni Mitchell.
"As a northern star," and I said She embodies what I want to be as an artist Someone who's innovative.
And I couldn't think of a more powerful song for this moment.
You're in my blood like holy wine the song choice made me realize how much of an artist she really is.
Hey! I mean, she just totally blew me away today.
What was that gospel run? Adele does those effortless runs.
Yes! When were you gonna tell me that you do that? You don't even have a joni Mitchell voice.
You literally are doing your own thing.
It's two different artists that I've heard in one song, and that is brilliant.
Your full tone I want you to round it out.
Don't make it sound ehh! Make it sound like Okay.
I don't want you just to be louder.
I want you to be like, "this is my other type of voice.
" Fuller.
Yeah.
Madi has a really rich tone that she's almost afraid of using.
You're in my blood like holy wine that was emotional.
You are an artist.
You're not just some contestant on a show.
"The voice" reminds me of what the music industry ud to be.
Someone would come in your office, and they would sing and you'd feel it.
Artists know when to do that.
When you start to sing, we are in your feelings.
Yes.
We want to be all eyes, tunnel vision on the emotions that you're feeling up here.
In order for madi to win, she just needs to be who she is, 'cause when she's in her comfort zone, she's amazing.
You got a good team.
Yeah, man.
Going from playing in these small cafés and tiny bars in Brooklyn to coming to "the voice," it's a whole new world.
Blind auditions Kind of, like, blacked out from the excitement.
I'm looking at a superstar.
Please pick me.
Let me be the guy that helps you explore that sound.
I pickPharrell.
Ohh! "Adam's team is full.
Bring out the greatest singer on the show's history, and the most beautiful.
Yeah.
Cue her.
" I am just loving every moment of this whole process, and I'm just gonna take everything that I've learned and use it to keep working harder.
For the knockout rounds, I chose "a Sunday kind of love" by etta James.
It's totally in my wheelhouse, like, singer/songwriter-y, little jazzy.
That should have just been recorded.
Now, if you're gonna stay low, there needs to be some depth.
So, certain places, switch from that head voice to chest voice just to intensify the performance.
Yeah.
You're singing an etta James song.
I mean, this is a woman with attitude, first of all.
Guitar has to go.
Okay.
It's a song about a fantasy.
I want you to be in the music, just lost in the music.
I want you to fantasize about the perfect man.
I don't get that here.
Mm-hmm.
Wow.
That was entertaining to watch you.
Shut up.
But it was also entertaining to look over at her just be like, "yeah!" You know how to do that.
Don't be shy.
Rihanna I was just kind of mind-blown by everything she was saying.
It's a little intimidating, 'cause she just oozes confidence out of every pore.
Did you feel sexy? No.
I want you to be raw.
If your hands never touch the Mike Mm-hmm.
They'll help you to make me believe that you're feeling it.
Yeah.
I was trying to bring her out of her shell.
You could pull your hair down in your face.
And I didn't want her to look at us or feel us looking at her so that she can just feel her body do different things.
Yeah! Yes! Today, I saw Amy really fight for it.
In order for her to win this knockout, she's got to continue to come out swinging.
I've not seen you like this, Amy.
Just you wait.
Okay.
Ooh! You better tell him, girl! With "a Sunday kind of love," here is Amy vachal.
That it's more than love at first sight I want a Sunday kind of love ooh, I do my Sunday dreaming when those mondays grow cold what in the world?! You're in my blood like holy wine coming up, madi Davis leaves pharrell with a difficult decision.
I actually feel like both of you guys won.
And later Hey! We've got a steal! A steal you won't believe.
I know your moves before you make them, baby! Welcome back to the knockouts.
And now singing "a case of you," please welcome madi Davis.
Just before our love got lost, you said "I am as constant as a northern star" if you want me, I'll be in the bar" you're in my blood like holy wine you taste so bitter and so sweet and I would still be on my feet I met a woman, she had a mouth like yours she knew your devils and your deeds oh, you're in my blood like holy wine you taste so bitter and so sweet and I would still be on my feet big hand there for Amy and madi.
Wow.
Pharrell, what a tough decision you're gonna have to make here in a minute.
Gwen, help him out.
I could listen to both of you all day long.
You're so delicious.
Madi, I feel like joni would be proud, because the intent was there.
I was mesmerized.
Thank you so much.
And, Amy, just your voice style is so beautiful, and I loved seeing you without the guitar.
I mean, it's really hard not to just melt into your face, because you're so beautiful.
And then, the voice on top of it Just being able to watch both of you right now, like, that was Disneyland for me.
It was so good.
Thank you, Gwen.
Adam.
First of all, madi, I've really turned in to a huge fan of yours.
This is such an amazing, defining moment for you.
Just to see the growth in such a short period of time has been pretty staggering.
But then, Amy, one of my biggest regrets was not being able to turn around for you.
And here you are now, just continuing to blow everybody away.
And there's something about what you do that is impossible to replicate.
Let's move over to Blake.
Amy, the notes that you think of to sing I think that's what blows me away the most.
I've been a fan of yours You know that.
You're sick of it.
I mean, right now, you're going, "oh, my God.
He's gonna do it again.
He's gonna throw a fit.
" But then, madi, you snuck up on me today.
Oh, my gosh.
You were so good.
Either one of those I mean, that made me feel like wanting to take, like, a bubble bath.
If all the water didn't go out of the bathtub when I get in it, I would take a bubble bath.
Excellent visual.
Thank you for that.
Thank you, Blake.
All right, pharrell, what do you think? Madi, the notes that you choose It's like, "whoa, did that just happen?" There's something magical about where your spirit sort of takes a song.
And then, Amy, you just brought such a classic vibe.
You're this interesting artist that feels like people have heard before, but they really haven't.
So it's a very difficult decision for me.
Pharrell, who is the winner of this knockout? I actually feel like Both of you guys won.
The winner of this knockout Is madi.
Madi is moving on! Yeah, madi! Congratulations.
Madi's a 16-year-old, beautiful, harmonious bird.
Thank you.
So proud.
You know, you can call her folk, but I think she's a pop artist because I think that what she does will be popular.
Oh, dad.
Ahh.
I can't believe I get to go on to the live playoffs.
I'm so excited! You did so good.
Thanks, dad.
Yeah.
Coaches, just a reminder that Amy is available to steal.
Anything you want to say Hey! We've got a steal! Yes! In the knockout! Oh, my gosh! Adam levine uses his only steal and scoops up Amy vachal! Adam goes all in on Amy.
Why, Adam? He's gonna wait till I start talking.
Blake Shelton, just to make matters complicated for Adam levine! Two steals, one knockout.
I know your moves before you make them, baby! Amy vachal is in a fight now for a new coach.
That what I'm talking about! Whoo! So excited right now.
My heart's pounding.
Well, where should I begin? I know where.
At the blind auditions, I did hit my button for you, and I remember begging, because I believe you're a star.
You're still one of my favorite artists who's ever auditioned fothis show, ever.
And I've won this show a bunch of times, by the way.
Like, twice as many times as Adam.
Yeah, okay.
And I may not seem like the perfect match for you, but I'll be damned if I'm not.
And I cannot even believe that there's even this opportunity right now.
And I can't wrap my head around you possibly going with sinéad o'Connor down there.
Hey.
When he gets done with his blue man group auditions, maybe he'll have time to work with you and Uh, it's the Jew man group, actually.
Um Oh, my gosh.
So Hey, this would work a lot better if you would do this while you're saying all that.
If you would do that.
Kids.
Listen, during the blind auditions, I thought, "wow, this girl could win the whole thing, and I didn't even have a chance.
" So, I felt like I really missed out, and now I feel like I know what to do to really help you thrive.
I do believe that you can win this whole thing.
I believed it from the moment I first heard you sing.
Now I get to a chance to be a part of it, so I'm really, like, excited.
Amy, who's your new coach gonna be? First of all, thank you so much for everything you said.
I think I'm just gonna have to go with my gut on this one.
Welcome back.
Before the break, Adam and Blake Hey! Pushed their buttons to steal Amy vachal from team pharrell.
Wah! Now she has the difficult decision of picking her new coach.
I think I'm just gon have to go with my gut on this one, and And say Adam.
Oh.
Adam levine steals Amy vachal Thank God! Away from pharrell and Blake.
Yes.
I can't move.
I'm paralyzed.
Good luck, sweetie.
Thank you.
I know I couldn't have gone wrong between the two of them, but I picked Adam because I think he just really gets me.
I know I'm just gonna learn so much from him, so I'm just so grateful.
Give me a hug.
Oh, my gosh.
Thank you so much.
You're finally where you belong.
When you don't have a big, giant voice, you got to capture the world with your imagination and with your creativity, and I think that she can do that.
You're in good hands.
We're gonna have fun, and you're gonna do what you love to do.
Awesome.
I can't wait.
Yes! Thank you.
I never thought this would be happening.
You know, I love everything about Amy's voice, and I just think it sucks that, two times now, she's turned me down.
I cannot believe Dr.
evil got Amy.
So stupid.
Hey, have you thought of a nickname for me? Toad? Toad?! Oh, I get it.
LikeKiss the frog and he turns into a prince? I get it.
Exactly.
Yeah, that's it.
Are you really hitting on me on national television right now? Can we cut, please? I'm flattered.
Let's meet Blake's final knockout pairing of the night.
I paired chance and ivonne against each other because they're my two steals, and both are very young, they both deserve to be here, but I can only bring one of them to the live playoffs.
Coming on to "the voice," I was just a 15-year-old high-school kid who played gigs in bars and working in my parents' gym.
I was so drawn in, I couldn't believe that these guys weren't turning around.
To be on Adam's team is amazing, and I've been a fan of his music for a long time.
For the battle, I lost.
But Blake used his last steal on me.
If I was 15, I would have chance's posters in my locker, and I would be losing my mind over you.
Thank you.
There's something completely magical about your voice.
He's a heartthrob.
Forget about it.
You won the show.
I think they're great.
I definitely think you were gonna I just want to show him that he made the right choice.
For my knockout, I picked "demons" by imagine dragons.
I'm a folk musician, but I feel like, with this song, I can prove that I'm not boxed in to one genre.
That voice on a record would be awesome.
Your voice is so cool.
It's so different.
Thank you.
You ever listen to Elvis? Occasionally.
'Cause your voice can do all that.
Thank you.
In the beginning of the song, you're getting a little bit flat.
Sometimes, when a song is really low, we tend to think, "let's get really low," and we could fall short of the note.
All of a sudden, your voice just disappears.
I couldn't even tell if you were even hitting the note or not.
Just go full voice.
You can hit those notes.
Okay.
Yeah.
Chance is really young, but he has this old voice in him.
The only thing that you're gonna need to do is open up on those things that you switch from falsetto back to full voice now.
Uh-huh.
'Cause I can tell you're, like, choking, like, you're pinching it off a little bit.
Instead of to just go to! It'll trail off naturally.
Don't worry about that.
Chance is only 15 years old.
I see something in him that's special.
I'm so glad I stole chance.
I mean, what a surprise.
Wow.
Hey, do you want to meet rihanna? How are you? Good.
How are you? I'm a huge fan of rihanna, and I just really admire her as an artist.
She's wicked awesome.
So, he stole you? Yeah.
She was at season 8? Mm-hmm.
She auditioned and didn't make it on to the show.
Comeback girl.
And picked a whole bunch of cantaloupes on the farm, singing the whole time, got way better.
Yeah.
Yeah.
If you would have told me a year ago that I'd be standing here today, I would be like, "ha.
You're funny.
" Not getting a chair season 8 was brutal.
Let that microphone go.
You have an enormous gift.
Don't wrap it up like that.
But I came back.
I got Gwen and pharrell to turn around for me.
Hey.
Whoa.
Hey! I recognize her.
You are a special, super-unique thing that we don't have on the show.
Pharrell.
Jump out the window with me.
You're not gonna fall.
Ever since my first blind audition, I learned so much from this competition.
Siahna.
Unfortunately, I didn't get to win the battle, but I did get stolen.
There's your steal! Yes! You stop that crying right now.
I pick Blake.
Yes! Days like this, I want to drive away for my knockout, I'll be singing "part of me" by Katy Perry.
Whoo! When Katy Perry wrote this song, she was going through a tough time, so I really try to imagine that feeling, like, not making a team That's not something I want to have to go through again.
Ivonne was timid, shy when you speak to her.
But when she starts to sing, she had her own voice, her own swagger when it came to performing.
Oh, my God.
I can't wait to he what you say.
Wait.
What? Have you gotten like 200% better than you were in the battle round? I'm hoping I did.
Wow.
You are amazing.
Thank you.
Your voice is so rich and beautiful.
Your vibrato is sick! Thank you so much.
Make sure you watch on the first time you sing "soul.
" Try to not do the vibrato there until the end, because it got a little bit shaky.
Okay.
And the second line, try to stay on key in that line, 'cause it got a little pitchy.
Okay.
Yeah.
You have been guilty of this in the past is letting nerves get the best of you, and whatever you've got to do to stay like this right now, whenever the knockouts happen, do it.
You were born to do this.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Sometimes you use your steal and the fact that you use it gives that artist just a little bit more confidence, and I saw that today with ivonne.
Hey, you know, when the tabloids start writing about us and this serious chemistry that we got going on right now, "blihanna" is gonna be our name.
Like, when the trash magazines start talking about us "Blihanna.
" Huh? I thought about "rake," but that's I like "blihanna.
" I'm blushing.
Can't you tell? Singing "demons," here is chance peña.
Your eyes, they shine so bright coming up Ivonne acero leaves her heart on the stage.
And later An epic knockout between two of Adam's best 'Cause I set fire to the rain both of these guys could take it all the way to the end.
That was one of the greatest vocals I've ever heard live in my life.
And one artist gets a second chance.
We got a steal! Gwen Stefani! .
Welcome back.
And now singing "part of me," here is ivonne acero.
Days like this, I want to drive away pack my bags and watch your shadow fade you chewed me up and spit me out like I was poison in your mouth you took my light, you drained me down but that was then and this is now that you're never gonna ever take away from me that you're never gonna ever take away from me now look at me, I'm sparkling in fact, you can keep everything that you're never gonna ever take away from me that you're never gonna ever take away from me, no throw your sticks and your stones throw your bombs and your blows but you're not gonna break my soul wow.
Give it up.
A big hand for chance and ivonne.
Let's start with your former coach, pharrell.
What'd you think? Ivonne, to just watch you continue to climb and your vocals to just get better and better.
Your confidence right now It's sky-high.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
It's beautiful.
And then, chance, it's still crazy to know you're 15 and you fight so hard during a performance like that.
I thought it was a great performance, as well.
Congratulations.
Thank you, coach.
Thank you.
Gwen, let's move over to you.
What did you think of the knockout? Chance, my favorite part is your little yodel that you do.
Just your personality is already coming out, and you're so young.
B, it was hard for me to really hear all the vocals that you can do.
But it was incredible.
Thank you.
Ivonne, that song It was really touching me, and I was, "whoa! She's singing right to my heart, right now.
" And I wanted to jump up on stage and sing harmonies and be like, "yes! That's how I feel!" Thank you.
Congratulations.
All right.
Adam.
Chance, if I'm thinking strategically, I thought it was too low.
I would have liked something to be a little more of that emotional breakthrough for this moment.
But this is how good a guy you are You know how good ivonne just was, and the second it was done, you walked over and you're like, "that was really, really good.
" Regardless of what the outcome is, keep being a really great guy.
I love you.
Thank you.
Ivonne, I've seen such an unbelievable amount of growth from you, considering your history on the show.
You came out here and struggled.
And then, all of a sudden, here you are, blossoming and doing so incredibly well.
And you did an amazing job today.
Thank you so much.
All right, Blake.
It all comes down to you.
What did you think? I got the two best steals of the show with you two.
Chance, knowing what kind of artist that you classify yourself as but then to do that particular song was interesting to me.
And then, ivonne, with your song choice, I think we were kind of taken back until we actually heard what your plan was.
All right, Blake.
Who is the winner of this knockout? The winner of this knockout is ivonne.
Ivonne, congratulations.
You are moving on to the live playoffs, representing team Blake.
You're going! You're going live.
I won my knockout! I'm going to the live playoffs! Coaches, let me remind you that chance is available to steal.
Chance, anything you want to say to your coach? Blake, I just want to thank you for giving me a second chance, and I also want to thank you for being the only chair to turn for me and allow me to be here right now.
How about a big hand for chance peña, everybody? Thank you, chance.
Good luck to you, chance.
Thank you.
It absolutely broke my heart.
I mean, chance is 15, but ivonne She is mastering the art of losing those nerves and singing her tail off.
What do you think about that, boss? What a beautiful job.
Wow.
Will you do that every time from now on? So we can win this thing? Oh, my gosh.
Thank you so much.
I got a good one here.
Got a good one here! Got a good one! Ivonne turned it on there, huh? Totally.
She understands how to sing for her life now.
Mm-hmm.
You can buy full versions of the winners' knockout performances on iTunes Or listen to them on apple music.
Coming up, rihanna pushes team Adam to the highest level.
I'm missing your body language.
I want to feel you.
'Cause I set fire to the rain hey, guys.
It's Christina grimmie here on the set, where artists are having a major fashion moment in black and white.
While ivonne belted it out in a lace top and cropped pants, Amy went white-hot in a chic peplum and two-toned shoes, and Braiden really let his collar pop with a black-and-white polka-dot shirt.
And I'm testing out the trend with a two-piece s to shop my kohl's look and other knockout styles, go to nbc.
Com/kohls, and follow me online for the latest in "voice" fashion.
Welcome back to night one of the knockouts.
Let's look at the artists that have advanced to the live playoffs so far.
Adam picked pop rocker Blaine Mitchell and stole singer/songwriter Amy vachal from pharrell.
Blake kept country/soul singer Barrett baber and pop artist ivonne acero.
What is happening?! Gwen chose pop vocalist Braiden sunshine.
And pharrell added indie folk artist madi Davis.
Now let's meet the final knockout pairing of the night.
I paired Jordan and Viktor together because they're both strong personas and they both have Cannon voices.
In my blind audition, I got all four chairs to turn.
What?! I don't know if I'm happy or really scared! I had to learn that being different is actually what made me special.
The world needs a person like you.
I think you're the most important person that's ever been on this show.
"The voice" has been an unbelievable experience.
I pick Adam.
I've grown so much as an artist.
The winner of this battle is Jordan.
The fact that Adam chose me to stay on his team makes me want to continue to impress him.
Thank you.
Thanks for believing in me.
Hello, Jordan.
Hi! When I saw rihanna, I was just blown away.
It's so nice to meet you.
Mm! You tried to kiss me there.
And I really think that her music has kind of shaped our generation.
What are you gonna sing? "Set fire to the rain" by Adele.
Adele.
I'm so excited.
Yep.
I would be terrified to sing Adele Me too.
Unless I was really drunk at karaoke.
Yo.
There you go.
Adele is a big vocalist, and you have to know what you're doing to maneuver around a record like that.
I chose this song because, when I was younger, I did struggle somewhat with image issues.
The message of the song kind of talks about the journey, then finding yourself again in that place of happiness.
Your voice is so beautiful.
I want to hear more of it.
So, in the beginning, when you start singing You, like, go away.
And I'm like, "aah! I just Aah! I want more!" You know, I'm a fan.
Okay.
I want to hear the whole word stretched out.
Ooh, ooh.
Ooh, ooh, ooh.
There's something that's great about when Adele sings a song.
It's very rhythmic.
That I never knew, never knew I need to feel it swing a little more.
You always have time in a vocal to tell the whole story.
Okay.
This song is deep, and every note needs to convey the story that's being told.
It was dark, and I was over yes! I'm missing your body language.
Okay.
Don't dance.
Don't do too much, 'cause that is not you.
But I want to feel you, even through your hands.
I want to feel that you're in this moment.
Because I set fire to the rain and I threw us into the flames just leave us right there, hanging off of the cliff, with our bare nails.
I can't stand this guy.
I don't like you no more.
No.
Co on.
You're gonna hurt my feelings.
No, you hurt mine.
Adele would be a terrifying choice if you weren't Jordan, but if you're gonna want to be the best, then what way to test yourself than singing the best? When I decided to come back to America, I put my career in Hungary on the line.
In the blind audition, I had four chairs to tur that guy is white! I'll tell you right now, you can win this entire thing.
I'm gonna pick Adam.
Adam he's been a longtime favorite of mine.
I'm very grateful to work with such a huge superstar.
You have such a beautiful voice.
I'm blown away.
The winner of this battleLs Viktor.
The first thing that came to my mind is that, "okay, now I have to make him even more proud.
" And that's what I'm gonna do.
So, what type of song are you gonna sing today? I picked Alicia keys' "if I ain't got you.
" Oh, wow.
Yeah.
I know, right? Our band used to cover it.
It's a tough song.
I didn't know that Adam has covered this song already.
I'm like, "oh, no!" So, it's that much more that I have to prove onstage.
But I don't want nothing at all it doesn't sound like anybody else's voice.
I love your voice.
It's really rich and So cool.
But it was very behind sometimes.
Okay.
And there's something about that song it's like If I ain't got you, baby so, like, stay on tempo.
Right.
It, like, bounces a little more.
Okay.
Okay.
And you're you're changing it a little bit too much.
Stay in the pocket of the record.
Exactly.
You put an "eh" between every word, instead of Keep it straight.
Okay.
And then the Full.
If you are gonna convince people to love what you do, then every single note has to be sung with so much conviction that they're People have no choice but to like it.
I'm thinking too much of this song.
I'm thinking about what technique I should use there instead of the real meaning of music, which is telling the story.
It's time for me to get out of my head.
Whoo! And and then I think I could make a much better performance.
You nervous right now? I'm always a little bit nervous.
Shake it off.
Shake it off.
Shake it off.
Thank you.
With "set fire to the rain," here is Jordan Smith.
And as it fell, you rose to claim it it was dark, and I was over until you kissed my lips and you saved me that I never knew, never knew they were never true, never true watched it pour as I touched your face well, it burned while I cried 'cause I heard it screaming out your name sometimes I wake up by the door I can't help myself from looking for ya 'cause I set fire to the rain and I threw us into the flame when it fell, something died 'cause I knew that that was the last time whoa.
That was crazy.
Coming up But I don't want nothing at all Viktor király gives a powerful performance Leading to a shocking ending.
We got a steal! Oh, God.
I think I'm gonna pass out.
Welcome back.
Now singing "if I ain't got you," here is Viktor király.
Some people live just for the fame some people live for the power some people live just to play the game but I don't want nothing at all if I ain't got you, you, you I don't want nothing at all if I ain't got you with me, baby and nothing in this whole wide world if I ain't got you with me give it up for Jordan and Viktor! Thank you.
You did it.
You were awesome, man.
Blake, what'd you think? Man! Everything was so good.
I'll talk to Viktor.
I don't know what I was expecting you to do, but I wasn't expecting you to do that and knock it out of the building, like.
I mean, that was just good as it could be.
Thank you.
Thank you.
You sounded awesome.
You hung upside down to fix your hair and then waited till it dried.
There's only one thing wrong, and that's that you're up against Jordan.
I-I swear I was listening to the record.
I mean, that was just one of the greatest vocals I've ever heard live in my life, like.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Pharrell.
Viktor, I knew you could sing, but to see you, like, clawing away like a tiger I thought that was great To see you, like, shifting gears and really taking it to the next level.
And then there's Jordan.
It's always a pleasure to see someone sing so eloquently and effortlessly.
Both of these guys could continue to take it all the way to the end, in my opinion.
Gwen Stefani, what'd you think? Viktor, I was a fan from your last performance.
You are so amazingly talented, and to be able to go and hithose high notes that were totally unexpected, that was like, "whoa!" Like, amazing.
Thank you.
You have it all.
Jordan, you are a freak of nature.
I do not understand how that is possible To be able to navigate through that song and take us on a journey.
It was emotional and technical, and it was just mind-blowing.
Thank you for that.
Thank you.
All right, Adam, it all comes down to you, buddy.
Viktor, you were struggling with this song a little bit.
And I got to tell you, the way that you came through showed me just how amazing you are because you absolutely tackled every single thing that we went over.
You did not get rattled.
You did your thing.
Thank you.
Jordan, we refer to you affectionately as "the unicorn" Because I think it's a profound experience for someone to hear you sing.
And the hairs on your arms and the goose bumps just stand up all at the same time.
I-I don't know if there's any person that's ever affected me like that.
It's unbelievable.
Thank you.
A tough one for you.
Who is the winner of this knockout? Viktor, you really made this decision suck.
There are about a hundred reasons to go with both of you guys.
The winner of this knockout Is Jordan.
Jordan is the winner of the knockout.
He's moving on to the live playoffs.
Congratulations.
I'm sorry.
I'm trying not to [Laughing.]
Cry.
Jordan commands your attention so much, to the point where you're completely just swept away by what he does.
It's really special.
Jordan could win this entire competition no doubt.
Coaches, let me remind you Viktor is available to steal.
Vik we got a steal! Whoo! Gwen Stefani! Oh, my God.
Thank you.
Yes! Oh, God.
I think I'm gonna pass out.
I'm ready to sit down for a second.
Thank you so much, seriously.
I'm amazed by your Your gift, and I just felt like I needed to press my button.
Well, go say hi to your brand-new coach.
Thank you so much.
Thank you so much.
Gwen steals Viktor.
I'm so happy.
I absolutely cannot believe I'm going to live playoffs.
My dream is one step closer.
I really like Viktor.
I'm just so fascinated by him being a Hungarian artist and having the success there.
He's a pro.
He's so natural onstage.
After watching you sing, like, "he kind of is, like, amazing.
Like, why would I not pick" You're so sweet.
