I'm only looking for the best.
I cannot wait for these guys
To show exactly what they can do
And see who can step up their game.
I can't believe
The talent keeps getting better and better.
It's really hard to let half of these people go.
Last night, the knockout rounds began.
?See, mama knows best when...
Artists went head-to-head
Against one of their own teammates in a vocal duel.
?You, you, you ought to know
With a spot in the live shows at stake,
There were difficult decisions...
Ah.
I don't want to lose either one of you.
...and hard-won victories.
Josh.
Kat. Shelbie z.
But in the new twist to the knockouts...
Good luck if you press your button, blake shelton.
...each coach has been given one steal.
We got a steal!
And we got another one!
I got to go with blake. Yeah!
The opportunity to steal yet another artist
Is the ultimate way to know
You're bringing the best team to the live shows.
Daly: BLAKE AND CEE LO USED THEIR STEALS...
Whoo! ...while christina and adam...
Yeah! ...still have one each.
I'm waiting to be truly moved.
Tonight, the remaining 16 artists take the stage.
I got to do everything in my power to win this knockout.
I've just got to give it all I've got.
For the first time, they'll get one-on-one training
With their coaches.
The pressure is on
As the artists are picking their own songs...
?I'll make it better
Song choice is a very huge factor.
If they don't sing the right song,
They're going home.
Just needs to be a little bit sharper
So it's up on pitch.
Preserve your energy for the slide at the very end up.
?Go-o-o-o
...making it hard for our coaches to decide...
I think that my team's really strong,
But there's a lot of people
That are capable of winning "The voice."
I'm jealous 'cause I wish I could do that.
...because each coach can only take five artists
Into the live shows...
I'm looking to really find
The hunger from someone on my team
To take it home and win this thing.
You came out here in the knockouts like a champ.
...where america votes
And determines who will ultimately be named the voice.
You're like the mike tyson of "The voice."
The knockout rounds continue right now.
Christina: LET'S DO A MASSAGE TRAIN.
He has to join.
He's gonna do you.
Oh, yes.
Blake, come here. Come on. Watch this.
As the coaches get ready for tonight's performances,
Let's take a look at adam's first knockout pair.
Wait a minute. Who's gonna get me?!
All right, competing in this team adam knockout,
It's lina gaudenzi...
...versus preston pohl.
Lina and preston -- they're both really soulful,
And I want to see who's the most unique of the two.
Welcome to my team.
Thank you.
I'm happy I got to steal you. Thank you.
Thank you for stealing me.
♪It's too late to make it right ♪
Christina's amazing, but now I get to work with adam.
I think that we could really blow people away.
Thank you.
It's cool because
I get to have a different approach now.
It's the best of both worlds, really.
?Something told me...
For the knockout round, I'm gonna be singing
"I'd rather go blind" By etta james.
I chose this song because I wanted to really show
A more soulful, bluesy side to my voice.
?I was just
?I was just
♪I was just sitting here thinking ♪
That's hard.
You got to --
Maybe -- maybe if you do the first two "I was just"
And then land and do the ?I was just
Okay.
My first impression working with lina --
She's determined and also very talented.
But she was dancing around the song instead of singing it,
And I wanted her just to focus a little bit,
And I want her to sing it more.
If you commit to doing that,
This could be a moment where you blow people away.
Modeling at such a young age,
There was a lot of pressure, but this is way more intense.
I just have to do the best I can possibly do.
?I was just
?I was just
♪I was just sitting here thinking ♪
We changed the arrangement a little bit
So that I could start softly
And then have that space to come in.
It's very soulful and very cool.
Ambitious. Etta james. I love it. Yeah.
I was given a second chance.
I want to take advantage of this and really show who I am.
I just don't want to go home yet.
So excited to still be here, man.
Bro, you're here. Yeah.
I love the fact that I'm still on team adam.
?Now let it rain
Going through the battles, to hear everything
That all the coaches were saying was awesome.
You sounded so much like david ruffin.
It's almost like your voice comes from a different era.
The second you start singing, I get goose bumps.
?No woman, no cry
For my knockout performance, I'm performing
"No woman, no cry" By bob marley.
?No woman, no cry
I chose a reggae song 'cause I just want to show
That there's that laid-back side of me
As well as a soul side or a pop side.
There are a couple moments
Where I want to hear you more like emphatic, kind of.
Like, I want to hear those ?Hypocrite
It's a laid-back song.
Normally, I'd be very nervous about someone singing it.
But I think it's just about how it's done.
This is a big song. Yeah.
But you got to give me more emotion
In the first half. Okay.
And maybe try to elongate some things.
Okay.
Preston can get a little inward,
But I want him to project outward a little bit more
'cause that's what bob did,
And it seems like that's what that song needs.
?All along the way
I was just a guitar player before, playing with the band.
And it's been really hard
As a solo artist to try to get started.
So I need to really dig into this one emotionally.
I need to make the crowd
Really get what the message in the song is,
And if I don't do these things, I'm going home.

Give it up for preston and lina
In a knockout round for team adam.
Adam, what a great knockout round.
Let's see if your other coaches
Can shed some light on what they thought.
Blake.
Preston, as a country dude from oklahoma,
I thought that was great.
Thanks. Thank you.
Thank you.
Lina, the -- the song that you chose to do,
It's definitely a rangier song,
And I thought you did a really good job of what you did.
Also, I just think preston really had control
And command over that particular performance,
So I would give that to preston.
Thank you, blake.
Cee lo green, some thoughts, please.
Preston, I don't think in current music
You can find such a rare, unique, rough quality.
You have my undivided attention when you sing.
Like, I'm a fan of your voice.
Thank you.
Lina, I really felt like
"I'd rather go blind" By etta james
Really suited you well, and it really set you up
To have those standout moments like the break,
And you hit the big note.
It was very vulnerable. It was very honest.
And you did perform it very well as well,
So great job, lina.
Thank you, cee lo. Thank you.
Christina.
I think you both are great.
Preston, I've come to expect great things from you,
But it's just hard to expand in that type of a song.
In the knockout rounds,
I want to just get to know more about you,
And I'm not sure I really got that.
Lina, you just told me.
That was great. And you teased us.
You were like, ?I was wrong
And I was like, "Oh, is she even gonna go there?"
And then you ?I was wrong
See? See? Like, you went there.
I was like, "Okay." See? See?
It was that little tease.
You were taunting.
No, lina, in the brief time we've had to work together,
I've seen so much improvement,
And it's crazy because I know preston better.
What's amazing is, in such a short period of time,
I've seen so much from you.
You made this whole thing a lot more difficult
Than I might have initially thought.
I don't know how I can say one is better than the other.
I really think it has a lot more to do
With the things I haven't seen.
You know, you have the power
To choose the songs in the knockout round,
So it's you speaking to us about who you are
And where you come from that's just a part of that, you know?
Um, I got to make a decision.
Adam, who is the winner of this knockout?
Um...
I, uh...
I got to go with what my gut tells me,
And the winner of this knockout round
Is preston.
Preston pohl --
Wow -- moving on to the live shows.
I know there's more there. Thank you, though, man.
I feel great.
I'm going to lives, so I'm really excited.
What preston does, no one else does,
And he just has his own niche.
That's a team member I need to have.
Lina is really talented.
I think she's made big improvements,
But it's like there was a version of her
In other singers that
She wasn't quite there.
Thank you so much.
Give her a big round of applause, please.
I got a second chance. I'm still grateful for that.
You did an amazing job. You really did.
All right. Congratulations.
I'm gonna take everything
And just sort of apply it to my music,
And I'm never gonna forget this.
♪I could have loved you ♪
I'm really happy that lina had this experience.
I think it really gave her
The boost of confidence she needed
To proceed in her career.
Coming up...
♪Just one thing you got to do-o-o ♪
...the artists sing for their lives...
?Of your hea-a-a-a-rt
Wow.

As the steals take it to another level.
There's a steal!
Whoo, whoo!
Oh, wow!
Welcome back to "The voice," We kthe knockout rounds.Ore.
Competing in this knockout for team blake,
It's e.G. Daily versus ray boudreaux.
E.G. And ray both have blues influences
And offer powerful yet distinct tones to their voices.
I want to see which one will be the best
To bring to the live shows.
How's it going? Good to see you.
You're so little.
She's just so little.
Yes, she is.
I have a lot to prove to people about this voice
Because I'm an actress.
Did you see "Pee-wee's big adventure"?
Yes!
Dottie! Yes!
Cee Lo: YOU'RE DOTTIE?!
You're dottie?!
I think you're a great vocalist.
I'm going with blake!
Yes!
?Turn down the lights
For the knockout rounds, I'll be singing
"I can't make you love me" By bonnie raitt.
The kind of artist I want to be
Is an adult country, soul, rock artist,
And this song has all of that.
?Oh, oh
Hey. I'm gonna make this very simple.
Okay.
I think that your -- your voice is beautiful,
And that softer side -- it's sexy, it's romantic,
And it just sounds so good.
But it's at the top of the chorus
That you're trying to still go, "Watch what else I can do!"
You know what I mean?
The more you reel it in,
I just think it's so much better.
E.G. Has that powerhouse, edgy vocal.
But on a song like this, especially,
She really has to be confident enough in herself
To show that softer side.
That stuff scares me. Aah.
I promise you, it's so much better
Than you probably think it is.
It's hard for me to be vulnerable as a singer,
So I'm really working on trusting blake with that.
Man, I-I can't tell you how big of a fan I am of yours already.
I still want to see
All the other elements of what you do
Because I think that
The possibilities are endless with you.
Awesome. That's what I'm here for, you know, to be pushed.
Cool.
For my knockout performance,
I'm doing "Hard to handle" By otis redding.
This song is perfect
Because I'd love to have a career singing soul music.
That's who I am at the core, so I'm ready to show america.
?Baby, here I am
?I'm a man on the scene
?I CAN GIVE YOU WHAT YOU WANT
Blake: I LOVE HOW RAY APPROACHES THIS PERFORMANCE.
♪But you got to go home with me ♪
It's 100% ray.
He continues to impress me as a singer.
♪I'm so hard to handle now, yes, I am ♪
?Baby
?Good lovin'
But he still has his little things that he needs to work on.
I think you need to drop
The "Yes, I am" Going into that ?Baby
Yes. Because you're not getting a chance to breathe.
That's the only time you hit a-a flat note.
The pressure's a little overwhelming,
Knowing that the knockouts
Is one step away from the live shows.
You're too good of a singer to ever hit something pitchy.
If I'd fall flat, it would be devastating
Because I want to win this to be able to support my daughter,
Give her a better life, doing what I love to do,
So I don't intend to let that slip away.
With "I can't make you love me,"
Here is e.G. Daily.

Give it up for ray and e.G...
All right. ...in the knockout round for team blake.
Nice job, you two. Great, great knockout round.
Blake, we'll give you a second to think about it
And hear from your fellow coaches,
And, christina, we'll start with you.
You both have sort of raspy textures,
But I think that, ray,
You had a little bit better control.
E.G., the rasp did favor to you,
But there were definitely moments
Where it did lack some control,
Where your voice broke that I don't think it was meant to.
Good job from both of you.
But for blake, I think I would go with ray.
Thank you. Thank you, christina.
CEE LO. Cee Lo: HEY, GUYS.
Two -- two of my favorites, I-I must say.
Ray, by choosing an otis redding classic,
You were saying, "I'm a soul man."
I love the way you perform.
I think you did a great job, and I loved that record.
Thank you, man. Thank you.
I really do.
I really -- I really think that otis would smile down on it.
I sure do.
And, e.G., you know, man,
Like, I fought for you very early in the show...
Thank you. ...and I'm just so pleasantly surprised
Each time you open your mouth and sing.
It'll be no secret to anyone ever again
Just how talented you actually are.
Thank you so much.
Nice. Thank you, cee lo.
Blake, the decision is all yours.
E.G., you did what we talked about.
There's a softer side of your voice
That's closer to letting us see
Who's in here when we hear that side of you,
And maybe that's more uncomfortable for you.
I don't -- I have no idea.
And, ray, you remembered to take out a couple of words.
It allowed you to take that one last breath
Going into those big things you did at the end,
And you did it,
And I'm jealous 'cause I wish I could do that.
It's studly.
Thank you.
It's okay, blake.
Blake, I think you're studly, man.
I really -- I do. Thank you.
Thank you, because ray makes me feel like less of a man.
In a way. I'll second that, man.
I'll second that. Yeah.
You got a tough one, blake.
I know. I know I do.
Because you both did the things that I asked,
I have to get really technical.
E.G., those breaks towards the end
That christina was talking about -- I can't help it.
They're -- they're eating me alive.
I don't think that they were meant to be there.
And just based on that,
The winner of this knockout...
Is ray.
Ray moves on!
Congratulations!
I just did what I came here to do.
I'm going to lives, man!
Oh, my goodness! It's crazy.
Congratulations, brother.
Thank you. Thank you.
I have a lot of faith in ray.
I look to him as the guy on my team right now
That I think could go all the way and win this thing.
Congrats, man.
I think that ray is a front-runner on blake's team --
Good-looking dude, great voice.
He's -- he's one to look out for.
Coaches, a reminder --
E.G. Daily is available to steal.
E.G., what would you like to say to blake shelton?
I just adore you, blake.
I'm really grateful that I got to work with you,
And it's awesome.
Thank you.
Give a big hand for e.G. Daily, everybody.
Come here, sis.
Coming up...
?More than a feeling
?I can prove it's not ...the artists rise to the occasion
As the teams fill up...
You're like the mike tyson of "The voice."
...and christina and adam give two artists a second chance.
There's a steal!
That's a first.
Welcome back to "The voice," The knockout rounds.
I'm gonna join christina's team.
Yeah, you want to be a part of team xtina?
Can I be a contestant?
Adam-tina. Yeah.
I think we can do it together. We're gonna do it.
We're gonna beat you guys.
While the coaches make their way back to their chairs,
Let's check out christina's first knockout pair.
Competing in this team christina knockout...
It's anthony paul...
Versus jacquie lee.
Anthony and jacquie are both
Young pop singers with a lot of potential,
And I need to see who can deliver under the pressure.
Welcome to my team.
Thank you.
Today was my first day working with anthony
And kind of getting to understand him vocally.
You know, he's 18 years old.
I was so intrigued to see what else he could do.
?As long as you love me
In the battle rounds,
Having christina steal me at the last second...
Whoa! We got a steal!
...it was just relief.
I loved it.
He could win.
It makes you want to try harder,
And you just really want to make that person proud.
?Tonight
?Take me to the other side
For the knockout rounds,
I chose "The other side" By jason derulo.
?...july
The kind of artist I want to be
Is a pop r&b artist,
And this song is really going to show people my pop side.
?To the other side
It's a little hard for me to wrap my head around this
Because I just think
That you're a greater vocalist than this song allows you to be.
Mm-hmm.
I was disappointed in the first run-through
Because I kind of felt like I let her down.
I think we should take
♪Ah, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh ♪
I wanted to figure out a musical way
To allow anthony to shine more in the song.
His strong point is holding out these beautiful notes
That have this beautiful, rich vibrato at the end.
I wanted to do ?Take me to the other side
Leave it on a note that goes up and not down.
Go up on the falsetto. You can hit it.
?Oh, oh, oh
I really hope that I k*ll my knockout.
Do it for christina, show her why I deserve to be there.
?People
♪Working every night and day ♪
I'm singing "Stompa" By serena ryder.
This song has a bluesy feel, sort of a rock feel,
But it's still current.
And that's exactly the kind of artist that I want to be.
?...that's in you
So, I think what your biggest thing is,
Is we have to just get you
To physically look like
you're enjoying the song. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah.
So... ?You got to get up
Come on! You know what I mean?
Yeah. Like, use things like that.
Just use the stage more.
Jacquie -- she's soft-spoken,
But then she's got this lion
That just jumps out of her throat on certain notes.
I would take your position, like, center.
Open yourself up to the people. Right.
?People
I just need her physical approach
To do the same thing that her vocals are doing.
?Slow down
You know what I mean?
It's really important having presence on stage
That will reflect the song,
And christina definitely knows what she's talking about.
The only vocal note
Is maybe, just a couple times, it was pitchy.
Just be really sure of it
So that your pitch can be really accurate.
It's amazing getting, like,
A private vocal lesson from christina aguilera.
I mean, I'm 16 years old,
And I never thought that I would be here,
But now that I am, I don't want to go home.

Trying to move on to the live shows
Is anthony and jacquie.
All right, christina,
We'll give you a second to take some notes
And hear what your fellow coaches thought about that knockout.
Cee lo?
Anthony, you're such a better singer
Than today's performance.
Were you a little nervous today?
Yeah, I was, honestly. Yeah.
If it weren't for the nerves,
everybody would have gotten a chance
To really see how talented you are.
It most certainly wasn't your best.
But I still support you. Thank you.
Jacquie, you started off a little shaky as well,
Then I said, "Wait a minute.
I remember that little girl right there could sing!"
But then you hit that big note,
And your range is just exceptional.
Jacquie won this knockout round.
Cool. Thank you, cee lo. Adam? Thank you.
Cee lo's right, man.
There were a lot of problems today.
Last time you sang, we were all very pleased,
And it was really a nice rendition of that song.
But, you know, you learn, you grow.
And I think that you can definitely do that
'cause we know what you're capable of.
Jacquie, when someone's playing music,
They're pushing you away or they're drawing you in.
And, jacquie, you drew me in.
Besides the fact that you're like
The cutest person I've ever seen in my life.
Thank you.
And you're young, too. How old are you?
I'm 16. Oh, my god.
I would say that, jacquie, you're really far along,
And I think that you're the winner of this round.
Thank you.
Christina, of course, you have the final decision.
Anthony, you are a better singer than what happened,
And I tried to do the best I could,
You know, to try and allow you
To shine a little bit more as a vocalist
And not be buried underneath the dance tempo.
But it just wasn't the right song for you.
Jacquie, you do have an incredible range,
A great, powerful voice.
There's a lot of you
That reminds me of myself in a lot of ways.
And at such a young age,
To have that kind of soul that is --
That is from your gut.
Christina, we got to know,
Who is the winner of this knockout?
Jacquie, I know that there's more
That I can do with you moving forward,
So the winner of this knockout is jacquie.
Jacquie lee moves on to the knockout rounds,
Representing team christina.
Congratulations to jacquie. Love you, girl.
Thanks! Mwah!
Having christina tell me
That she saw a little bit of herself in me
Was, like, the biggest compliment
That anyone could ever give me.
Team christina all the way!
Whoo!
Big hand for anthony paul, everybody.
I had a bad day. A bad day to have a bad day.
Thanks, man. Keep it up, okay?
But this has been a great experience.
I wouldn't change it for the world,
And I'm just so happy I made it this far.
Still to come...
?Oh, oh, oh-oh
It's effortlessly angelic.
...the performances are better than ever.
There's a steal!
Welcome back to "The voice,". The knockout rounds.
Competing now for a team cee lo knockout --
It's stephanie anne johnson versus tamara chauniece.
Stephanie and tamara both have strong voices
And soulful deliveries.
I want to see who has the most power and versatility.
Steph.
Hi. What's up, mama?
Oh, my gosh.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
Thank you.
Stephanie Anne: CEE LO GREEN SAVED ME
From getting back on cruise ships.
He pulled my feet from the fire.
?I said no, no
I really wanted to work with christina because I wanted
To delve more into, you know,
The different avenues that my voice can take.
I want christina. Oh!
During the battle rounds,
I really thought I was going home.
Whoa!
I'm really excited to be on cee lo's team.
Whoo! Come on.
?I don't know why
?I didn't come
For the knockout rounds,
I chose "Don't know why" By norah jones.
?Feel as empty as a dru-u-u-u-m ? 967 00:41: 00:41:42,465

There's something
That kind of sounds like a yodel.
I like it. I like how you're doing...
♪Don't know why I didn't co-o-me ♪
Mm-hmm. Like, that's nice.
But it's not as vulnerable as the original one,
So embellish on it.
Okay.
You're probably gonna have to come from the chest
To hit the higher notes.
All right, cool.
Me and stephanie, I think, are a perfect match.
She's like my sister.
I'm impressed with her musical tastes and ambitions.
She's more dynamic than I could have ever dreamed.
?Something has to make you run ? 986 00:42: 00:42:19,736
but to move on past the knockout round,
I really want to see her embody this song.
I truly appreciate you for seeing something in me.
You got a gorgeous voice, girl.
Thank you.
Like, I mean, you did me the favor, actually.
?Make love to me
I come from a gospel background,
And I believe I have that pop/r&b thing going on.
But I really feel like I can sing anything.
You touched my heart.
My gut is telling me to go with cee lo.
Oh!
Tamara chauniece is moving on.
I've made it through the battles.
I pray that I make it through the knockouts
So that I can share
What I have in me with the world.
?And no one

Just kind of not -- not screaming it,
But kind of like a little looser.
Turn it up.
Let these people know you want to win.
Doing a reggae version of an r&b song,
You got to have an awful lot of character.

I've made it this far in this competition,
And I'm letting people know that I'm here to win this.
Great job today. Thank you.

WOW! Daly: TAMARA AND STEPHANIE ANNE
In a knockout round for team cee lo.
That was a good knockout.
All right, cee lo. Tough decision for you.
We'll get some comments from your fellow coaches.
Adam, we'll start with you.
This all comes down to song choice now,
Particularly because you choose the song.
So, stephanie, I love what it says about you
And what you love as an artist.
I love norah jones. She does so much with so little.
And I-I think you do have a lot to offer,
But it just felt a little bit too unfocused,
And so it lost me a little bit.
Tamara, the reggae version of it's cool.
I didn't think it was gonna be that.
And I've seen massive improvements.
So, you know,
As far as most-improved player goes,
Tamara, I-I take you.
Thanks, adam. Blake.
Man, I tell you what --
Tamara is -- I was sold.
I couldn't shut up over here. I mean, I was like, "Yeah!"
Thank you.
There was never that moment of -- of
"What -- what is she doing there?"
It was just great singing, and I love your stage presence.
I just think tamara is awesome.
Thank you, blake. Christina.
Wow.
I thought that was a great knockout round.
You both were so original.
Honestly.
Tamara, you blew the roof off the house
With the power and the delivery and the accuracy
And how connected and in tune you were with cee lo, as well.
And I felt it from you, stephanie,
'cause I thought that it was you,
And it was beautiful
With your guitar and the whole thing, you know?
I loved every second of it, you guys.
I thought you owned it, and I loved it.
I really, really did.
Cee lo green, the decision is in your hands.
What did you think?
I'm very proud of you both.
And, stephanie, I'll say this.
It felt like you were singing it through some nerves.
Other than that, you are exceptional.
I know that for a fact.
Tam, I love to see you perform. I love to see you move.
You remind me of a young anita baker.
You sang with so much control, so much poise
That, regardless of which way it goes --
I believe that you both deserve to stay and go on,
But I have to make a decision.
And I love you both, and I appreciate you both.
The winner of this knockout round is...
I'm judging solely off of the performance here today.
It's tam.
Tamara moves on to the live shows --
Congratulations -- representing team cee lo!
In rehearsal, you know, cee lo told me,
"Show some stage presence.
Show that you want it."
I feel like I did exactly what he told me to do,
And it paid off for me, so I couldn't be happier.
All right, coaches, let me remind you
That stephanie anne is available to steal.
Stephanie, anything you want to say to cee lo green?
Whether or not any of you pick me,
I will never stop singing.
I will do it until I die. It's my most favorite thing.
There's a steal! Christina aguilera!
Back to me! Whoo!
?Reunited
Stephanie has made her way back home.
I think half her battle is to showcase
The different sides of her personality, her spark.
I love you.
That's what I'm wanting to let people see.
Yes.
And, cee lo -- you can always call cee lo.
Stephanie Anne: I DIDN'T THINK
THAT CHRISTINA WOULD PICK ME A SECOND TIME.
I mean, and that's got to be worth something, right?
Thank you, christina.
I'm so excited to be back on your team.
Let's make some magic.
She's back on your team. You stole her back.
Yeah, that was fun.
First time in "Voice" History, christina stole back
Someone that was on her team originally.
That's a first.
Coming up...
?Then I slipped away yeah.
You want to hit the crap out of that one.
...adam coaches his singers
To give their best performances.
?Yeah
?Yeah
?It's more than feeling
But who will clinch a spot on his team?
?Yea-a-a-a-a-h
I'm gonna have to go with my gut.
The winner of this knockout...
Welcome back to "The voice," The knockout rounds.
Competing now for this team adam knockout,
It's james wolpert...
Versus juhi.
I paired james and juhi because there really aren't
Two more different people on my team,
So I wanted to put them in this situation
And see who would thrive.
How you doing, buddy?
Great, man.
Good to see you again. Thanks.
Great to see you, man. Thank you again for everything.
Of course, man. You live to fight another day.
I had to quit my job at apple
Because I wanted to pursue music.
?Walk right up and bite me
?Grab ahold of me inside me turning four chairs...
♪And leave me dying on the ground ♪
...is probably one of the most surreal feelings.
Nobody loves you more than me, dude.
Dude, you can win this for sure.
I pick adam. Yes!
Ohh!
♪It's more than a feeling ♪
The song I picked for knockouts
Is "More than a feeling" By boston.
♪I see marianne waltz away ♪
My dad brought me up on classic rock,
And it pushes limits of what I can do vocally.
?And I slipped away
That's got to be huge 'cause you kind of threw that away.
Yeah. Really got to --
You want to hit the crap out of that one.
"More than a feeling" Is probably
The most challenging song in the history of rock 'n' roll.
It's just so demanding, range-wise.
Budgeting your breath so that you know you've got it
And feeling like, "I got my plan.
I know how to get through this"...
Mm-hmm. ...that's gonna be the most important thing.
The pressure's definitely building.
This is the kind of song
that doesn't afford much room for failure.
This is a big challenge.
It's courageous and it's ballsy,
And it's one of those things
That takes somebody to that, like, next place.
I don't think anyone has really seen james' true chops yet,
So this song is hugpotential for him.
WELCOME. Juhi: THANK YOU.
Welcome to my team. Thank you.
Thank you for saving me so very, very freaking much...
I'm happy. ...'cause I kind of needed that.
?Hey, carolina
?Hey, carolina
?Hey, oklahoma
During the battles, cee lo didn't pick me.
We got a steal!
It was crazy being stolen.
I really won the lottery by grabbing you for my team.
Thank you so much! You don't even know.
I'm now on adam's team,
And I'm really happy to be here still.
♪Ooh, I heard it through the grapevine ♪
For my knockout performance, I'm doing
"Heard it through the grapevine" By marvin gaye,
And I'm doing the creedence clearwater version.
♪Heard it through the grapevine ♪
I picked this song because it showcases
THE VIBE THAT I LIKE WITH THE '70s THING,
But also because I can relate to it
With cee lo not picking me
'cause it kind of -- you know, the song's about cheating,
So it feels like I got cheated on.
Sometimes I want to hear the singing more than the style.
Okay. 'cause you're a great singer.
You want to be able to show your range.
Mm-hmm. And I-I don't want that to get masked by the style.
Yeah.
And also, you got to make sure that big note --
?Yeah
If that's on, that's the moment
Where everyone's gonna get behind you.
But it's a little bit flat.
If you try to be a little sharp, it'll probably be perfect.
?Oh, yeah
?Yeah
?Yeah
That's it!
I'd like to hear some of that grit in her voice.
She's 16.
She's 10 times as young as that song.
If juhi can give the song a little more dynamic,
I think she'll be in fantastic shape.

A team adam knockout!
Juhi and james!
All right, adam, we'll give you a minute
To think about that one.
A tough decision on the way.
Christina, we'll start with you.
You both had great moments,
And you're both very, very talented singers.
But, juju, you were so carefree
That it was careless, I just felt.
And, james, the pitch was kind of all over the place.
But I see the most potential in you moving forward with adam.
Thank you, christina. Thanks.
Cee lo green.
I'll start with you, james.
I like the rebel yell.
I like all of those other little special moments that you did.
And, like, you performed it like a rock song.
I think it's cool. I'll take it.
I think you did a great job.
Juju -- juju beans.
What a cool rendition.
I-I wasn't expecting that, so...
Was that your idea? Yeah, yeah.
That was cool. Thank you.
And I hate that, by default, that you're not on my team,
But I'm still supporting you.
I think that you were more consistent
Throughout the song.
So I would definitely say juju by a long shot.
Thank you.
All right, thank you, cee lo green.
Adam levine.
Just so you guys know,
James sang that song perfectly in rehearsals,
And it was not perfect tonight.
It started off really shaky
And then you came back and you were james again
And you really did do a great job
'cause you did get to a place where you were,
Where you started in the -- in the rehearsals
That was so incredible and mind-blowing.
Juhi, you know, we did a little bit of work in rehearsals,
And you -- you took the notes really well.
I think you did a -- did a wonderful job.
Thank you.
Adam, tough one here.
Who is the winner of this knockout?
Based on the fact that in my own personal career,
I've faltered
And I've been able to come back from making mistakes,
I'm gonna have to go with my gut.
And the winner of this knockout...
Is james.
James wolpert, congratulations!
You're moving on to the live shows.
My voice was not up to par today,
And now I have even higher expectations to meet.
It's all good, brother.
Thanks. You got it.
I'm going to lives,
And I'm gonna give it everything I got.
I've got to make sure
That I don't blow it when it comes game time.
Thank you so much!
Give her a big round of applause.
Juhi, everybody!
Although juhi surprised me with her improvement,
Which was great,
I still have too much invested in james,
And I-I think that he's really special.
I honestly -- I think juhi should have won.
If I had a steal, I would have took juju back.
That dude is one of the better singers.
He's really, really good.
He just had a bad day, man. We all have bad days.
Still to come...
I hope you can figure out a way
To sing it like you just sang it.

FOR MY KNOCKOUT ROUND, I CHOSE "I'LL BE" BY EDWIN McCAIN.
I see myself as a singer-songwriter.
The lyrics in that song are meant to be a love song,
And I switched it around to a relationship song
Between a father and son.
That is beautiful, man.
Thank you, man. Powerful.
My dad passed when I was 16 years old,
And this song --
It really captures what I would want to say to him.

don't have to worry about carrying the load.
Right.
And so you're -- you're able to just be freer.
RIGHT. Austin: BLAKE WAS TOTALLY SPOT-ON.
I sing more powerfully with the band behind me.
I definitely let -- let my voice loose a little bit more.
I hope you can figure out a way to sing it
Like you just sang it then, where you just felt the freedom.
Yeah.
I'm treating it like I'm singing to my dad

And everything that I learned from him musically,
And I know that I can't let him down.

All right, blake shelton.
Tough, man, taking only one of these guys to the live shows.
See if your fellow coaches can't offer a little bit of advice.
Christina aguilera, what did you think?
Austin, I just felt
Like it was power, power, power kind of all the way through,
And that's great to have that quality.
I was just looking for a little more dimension
In your louds and softs.
On the other hand, brandon,
I thought that yours sort of trailed off in a pitchy way.
But I thought that the song choice
Worked really well for you
Because I was able to hear the extension of your voice.
I would say, brandon, you definitely took this one.
THANK YOU. Daly: ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU, CHRISTINA.
Adam.
Austin, there were certain dynamic issues, I thought,
But at the end of the day,
The little things like that didn't bother me
Because I was just so impressed.
I was in it the whole time.
Brandon, you have been kind of a revelation to us.
You have a great voice.
It started off, you were real confident,
But it seemed like you were a little more insecure
About certain things towards the end.
There's really great things about both of you guys.
And so it's -- it's got to be
A really tough spot for blake to be in.
I think you both belong here, so congratulations.
Thank you. All right, blake.
It all comes down to you. What do you think?
Both of you did unbelievable.
I heard pitch issues from both of you.
Brandon, when I heard you get pitchy, you were flat.
When I heard austin get pitchy, he was sharp.
And that's something that actually plays into this for me
Because if you're sharp,
That's somebody that's got somewhere else to go.
They're pulling the reins back, you know? Mm-hmm.
And in brandon's case, being under a little bit,
You're going, "Have we seen everything
That he can do, you know, as a singer?"
And that has to be something that I think about right now.
So, blake, who is the winner of this knockout?
Whoa!
The winner of this knockout...
...uh...is austin.
Austin jenckes, congratulations!
I know how emotional
That song is for austin at this point in his life...
Congratulations. Thank you.
...and I just thought he did a perfect job.
Congratulations.
Thank you. Thank you.
I just thought about my dad, and I just --
I asked him and -- and god to let me give
The best performance that I could possibly give.
Coaches, let me remind you brandon is available to steal.
Brandon, what would you like to say to your coach?
It's been an incredible ride from the very beginning.
I feel like I've grown so much. Thank you so much.
You've been the best coach. I really appreciate it.
Give him a big hand, everybody.
Brandon chase. Thank you so much.
I have one steal, I have not used it yet,
And I am waiting to be truly moved by somebody.
These are the artists
Representing team blake at the live shows --
Nic hawk, cole vosbury,
Shelbie z., austin jenckes, and ray boudreaux.
Team blake -- impressive.
But I don't want nobody to win but me.
I have absolutely no doubt
Team blake is the strongest team.
It's diverse.
There are some country artists on there,
But there's some blues, there's some rock, there's folk,
There's a little bit of everything.
I'm bringing in an entire team,
But it only takes one to win this thing,
And I think I got it.

RED'S MY COLOR. Daly: WELCOME
BACK TO "THE VOICE," THE KNOCKOUT ROUNDS.
All right, for this team cee lo knockout,
It's caroline pennell...
Versus george horga jr.
I paired caroline and george
Because they have a youthful and commercial energy.
I'm looking for one of them to emerge as the total package.
?If you are chilly
For my knockout, I'm performing
"The way I am" By ingrid michaelson.
The kind of artist I see myself being is indie-pop --
Something a little different.
?Yo-o-u take me the way...
I feel like it's the theme song to the way I am.
You're a strong singer.
I can hear it. Yeah.
So I want to hear some of that
You know, just -- just a bit.
I want people to see that you can
And you will evolve and come into your own.
Okay.
♪Well, I'll make it better ♪
I know if I want to do this song justice,
I really need to jump out of my comfort zone a little bit
And project more.
?As you
Caroline is such a sweet thing.
She's got such an infectious quality in her voice.
I'm really impressed by her,
And I believe she can do exactly what she wants to do.
She's very talented.
?And it's all because of you
For the knockout rounds,
I picked "Because of you" By ne-yo.
I definitely want to be the type of artist
That sings pop-soul,
Like bruno mars-type records and even justin timberlake.
?Because of yo-o-o-o-u
I can really hear where the true talent is.
And the more you're confident in singing the record,
The more it becomes yours.
I'm starting to learn george
By the things that he wants to do,
And I'm really rooting for him.
All I expect is for him to do the work that it takes to win.
Take the mike off the stand.
Am I allowed to move across the room?
Yeah, yeah, definitely, man. Please move.
Like, it's your stage. You know what I mean?
Cool. Well, in that case...
I want to see you perform it.
?And it's all because of you
I was raised in the states,
But my parents originally are from romania,
And they gave me one year to go chase my dream.
I don't want to let them down.
And I really want to prove
Cee lo made a good decision by picking me.
With "The way I am," Here is caroline pennell.

George and caroline
In the knockout round for team cee lo!
Great job, both of you.
Let's get some thoughts from our coaches.
Blake shelton.
George, you just were this much flat...
Yeah. ...pretty much the entire performance, you know?
Not bad, but just enough that we could hear it. Yeah.
The good news is that's something that you can get better at.
Caroline makes me want to buy a cat...
...and a pink blanket...
That's not caroline that makes you want to do that.
...and -- and -- and build a little fire in the house
And just curl up with a cup of hot chocolate.
And adam. With adam.
Caroline, he said the same thing to me when he met me, you know?
Oh, I bet. Heard it all before.
Heard it all before.
I've had some singers that I would put in your category
Or that singer-songwriter sound.
You're the best that there is this season in that genre.
Thank you, blake. Christina.
George, you have such great potential and star quality.
I don't know who cee lo's gonna pick.
I just know that, caroline,
You really draw people in with your voice.
Your rhythm is really great, your delivery.
And it just is effortlessly angelic.
So for me, it's definitely caroline.
Coaches, thank you very much,
But it all comes down to you, cee lo.
George, I love you, bro.
You're like a brother to me now, man.
I know your story. I know your struggle.
I know what you've sacrificed to be here, man.
And I don't think that you did a bad job.
Sometimes pop -- kind of r&b dance music --
It doesn't have a lot of personality,
Which is why you have to garnish it with so much choreography
To kind of compensate for that quality not being there.
But you could dominate a specific genre,
If that's what you want to go for.
Sweet caroline, I saw a twinkle in your eye today,
And I said, "This very shy and bashful,
"Sweet, and gentle person -- she realizes herself today,
And I think she knows that she's a star."
Cee lo, sorry, I know it's a difficult decision,
But who is the winner of this knockout?
Georgie porgie...
...sweet caroline.
The winner of this knockout round is...
Sweet caroline.
Caroline moves on! Congratulations!
I'm so excited to go to the live shows.
That was my goal from the beginning, and -- and I did it!
Whoo!
I'm...
Thank you very much.
Yeah.
Miss caroline, she was very convincing today,
And I do see that staying power.
Ahh!
We should definitely expect
Some big things from caroline in the live shows.
Thank you, everyone.
George horga jr., thank you so much, man.
Appreciate it.
Hey, it was a good choice, man.
I didn't do my best today. It's all good, brother.
Hey.
These are the artists
Representing team cee lo in the live shows --
Jonny gray, caroline pennell,
Amber nicole, kat robichaud,
And tamara chauniece.
I'm most nervous about team cee lo.
Some of the artists that he has on his team
And some of the tricks that he pulls out of his sleeve
When it comes time for live performances --
It worries me a little bit.
I'm confident that my team is gonna compete and conquer.
We will win season five.
Just you wait and see.
Coming up...
You're a rock guy,
But take that vulnerable approach.
...christina prepares her team...
Preserve your energy for the slide at the very end.
?I just want you kno-o-o-o-w ...for an epic performance...
?Hea-a-a-a-a-a-rt
You did one of the most stellar performances I've ever seen.
...that adam can't resist.
We got a steal! Adam levine!
Welcome back to "The voice," The knockout rounds.
These last knockout steals are pretty awesome.
I wish I could steal your heart, christina.
You already have it.
While the coaches make their way back to their chairs...
...let's check out our final knockout pair.
For this team christina knockout,
It's matthew schuler versus will champlin.
I matched up matthew and will because they both know
How to deliver an energetic rock performance,
And I want to see who can ignite the crowd.
The song is --
"Cosmic love" By florence and the machine.
And why'd you pick that?
You know, florence and the machine --
She's just an amazing storyteller.
It's not the expected, I think. Yeah.
And it comes from a female vocal,
So it's like -- that's -- that's a challenge.
I actually chose this song 'cause I love indie rock,
And I went out on a limb 'cause it's really intense.
But I think I can bring
Something really interesting to the stage with this song.
?Of your heart
With matthew, the sky is the limit for this kid.
He was a four-chair button push,
But he has to also know when to restrain himself
And refrain from overexhausting his voice.
Be honest with me.
A-are you, like, exhausted by it, or are you motivated by it?
I'm motivated by it, definitely.
This song is about pace.
Just preserve your energy
'cause you're gonna need it for the slide at the very end up.
In order to sing this song successfully,
I really have to pace myself throughout
So that I can continue to rise and rise and rise
And end, you know, at an amazing cl*max.
Hey, christina, how you doing?
Welcome to team christina. Good to see you.
How are you? I'm good.
I'm here with a purpose and a goal.
I want to be able to feed my little girl
Doing the music that I love to do
And do it not just for myself, but for her and my wife.
?Not over you
I chose adam's team because he just inspires me.
James wolpert!
I know what it's like to lose a battle,
But I was real thankful...
Whoo! ...that christina stole me.
♪I should have bought you flowers ♪
My sound is a mixture of soul and pop.
I chose the song
"When I was your man" By bruno mars
Because it's important for me to make it very clear
What kind of artist I am.
That's a tall order, right --
Those notes and everything?
You don't have to stick exactly to what bruno mars did.
Don't cram all that in together.
?Our song on the radio
♪But it don't sound the same ♪
You know, just soft.
I understand that you're a rock guy.
You like, you know, bringing it hard,
But take that vulnerable approach.
?I hope he buys you flowers
Will's had a couple moments on the show so far
Pushing his vocals, but I want him
To really find his vulnerability with this one.
?Your man
I like the pause at the end.
To have that moment of subtlety --
This is gonna work to your advantage.
I can identify with the vulnerability in this song.
My wife, rosanne --
She's living with health conditions,
A brain tumor.
I hadn't brought this up to my coaches
Because it wasn't appropriate.
Things are getting better,
So I got to do everything in my power to win this knockout
Because I'm here doing this not for myself,
But for my family, too.
With "Cosmic love," Here is matthew schuler.
?A falling star
?It fell from your heart
?And landed in my eyes
?I screamed aloud
?As it tore through them
?And now it's left me blind
?The stars, the moon
?They have all been blown out
?You left me in the dark
?And in the dark
?I can hear your heartbeat
♪So darkness I beca-a-a-a-a-a-me ♪
?The stars, the moon
?They have all been blown out
♪You left me in the da-a-a-a-rk ♪
?No dawn, no day
?I'm always in this twilight
?In the shadow
♪Of your he-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-art ♪
?Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Whoo! Whoo!
Oh, wow!
Coming up...
♪I just want you to kno-o-o-o-o-w ♪
...will surprises everyone with a showstopping performance.
Standing ovations for the both of you.
I don't have a steal left. I do!
The winner of this knockout...
With adam ready to steal, where will the teams stand?
We got a steal! Adam levine!

Matt and will -- team christina --
Trying to move on to the live shows.
Look how proud your -- your coach is over there.
So proud. Nice job, christina.
We'll give you a minute to think about that
And get some words of advice from your fellow coaches.
Cee lo, what did you think?
Standing ovations for the both of you.
Let me just start by saying, will, in the performance,
When you had that little rasp in your voice --
To me, I believe that -- that -- that leans more toward
The sincerity and the pain
Of the song in which you're singing.
So I think that really worked in your favor.
And then when you hit those very nice notes toward the end,
It really was a payoff,
And it really caused you to be a worthy competitor.
And, matthew, let me just say something about you.
You're like the mike tyson of "The voice."
You know what I'm saying?
You did one of the most stellar performances
I've ever seen ever on this show.
Thank you so much.
Nice, thank you, cee lo. Thank you.
Adam.
This was a really interesting thing for me to experience
'cause will was on my team.
And -- and, matthew, you know,
you're -- you're one of my favorites.
But what's crazy is matthew came out here and k*lled it.
And will came out here, and you took us right out of one thing
And you transitioned into what you did,
And it was -- all we were thinking about
Was what you were doing, and I got to tell you, man,
I thought ma-maybe he was gonna wipe the floor with you.
I'm gonna be honest with you. Like, the dude's crazy.
But you came out here, and you were peers.
The two of you guys were equals up there,
And that is incredibly cool and a testament to your growth.
Thank you, man. Appreciate it.
Blake shelton.
I had that moment on both of you where I was going,
"Man, that's really good -- oh, crap.
"That's who I got to compete against
When we get into the lives."
Will, dang, man,
You came out here and hit a three-pointer.
Man, I mean, it was --
And I don't have a steal left, either.
I do!
Dang, christina. I don't -- I don't --
I don't know what -- what to tell you.
You guys had to really dig deep for this performance,
And -- and going head-to-head, it's a lot to take in.
Will, I think you had the bruno version
So embedded in your head
That I just wanted you to completely throw all that aside
And make it will champlin.
And you came out here in the knockouts like a champ, will.
You're awesome. You really, really did it.
Thank you, christina.
So I commend you for that. Thank you so much.
And, matthew, you slayed that song.
I mean, that song is all push,
Push constantly with your vocal
To achieve greatness with that song.
I couldn't have asked for better performances
Out of either of you.
Thank you for sharing with me.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, christina.
All right, christina, who's the winner of this knockout?
Yeah, the -- the winner...
...in moving forward, for me...
Uh, I-I love both these guys.
The winner of this knockout...
...is matthew.
Matthew moves on to the live shows
To represent team christina!
Congratulations, matthew.
That was magical, magical, magical, magical.
Will and matthew were an amazing matchup,
But matthew -- I mean, there's something so magical about him
When he sings, when he performs.
I'll see you in the finals, bro.
Yes, sir.
What just happened to me is insane.
I just made it to the live rounds.
It's crazy.
I'm so excited to be still on team christina, you know?
Coaches, let me remind you that will is available to steal.
Will, what would you like to say to your coach, christina?
Well, first of all, I-I wanted to say it was a pleasure --
Oh, who cares?
Oh! We got a steal!
Adam levine takes will champlin from team christina!
Oh, my god! This is so crazy!
You were amazing, bro. Amazing.
Being able to not only make a steal this late in the game,
But to steal somebody back that you wanted to keep --
It's very cool.
Hey.
I'm so happy that adam stole him.
It's kind of like a happy ending for everyone,
But we'll see what happens in the lives.
You got this, bro. Thank you, buddy.
It's good to be back. All right, man, let's keep doing this.
Welcome back.
The last steal of the day. You did it!
These are the artists
Representing team christina at the live shows --
Jacquie lee, stephanie anne johnson,
Matthew schuler, josh logan,
And olivia henken.
I've got my team. I'm ready for the lives.
I have the best lineup possible as far as talent, vocals,
And I cannot wait to see them take over.
For me to underestimate
The coaches and the teams that they have would be silly.
Christina's a great coach.
She's the biggest threat to my team
On "The voice" This season.
These are the artists representing team adam
At the live shows --
Tessanne chin, james wolpert,
Grey, will champlin,
And preston pohl.
Adam's team is very interesting.
I think he's got a great team.
I got an awesome, dynamic, amazing team --
Very versatile,
Lots of different types of singers.
I like the fact that everyone's got their strengths.
Going to the live rounds, my team is the strongest team.
I believe that.
