The talent level in the
knockouts so far is phenomenal.

That was dope!

Daly:
...The knockouts began.

Yeah!

Teammates went head-to-head
in solo performances

With a spot in the live shows
at stake.

Blake: Knockouts are the perfect
time to show your coach

That you're tough enough
to go on to the live shows

And make it
in the music industry.

I thought this was
the finale show

And you just won "the voice."

I dare pharrell to make you
available to me.

Daly:
Adam, christina, and pharrell...

Whoa! We got a steal!

...Each used
their only steals...

Thank you
for stealing me!

...To make their teams stronger.

daly: ...Miley cyrus

Continues to help our coaches
prepare their artists

For some of the most competitive
knockouts we've ever had.

You've got to unleash
on those things.

Let it go, like,
♪hamptons bound ♪
yeah.

What i love about
"the voice"

Is just that it gives people
everywhere

A fair shot
at being what they want to be.

You did such a good job

Of making me feel connected
to this song.

Having miley as a key adviser
at this stage has been amazing.

And she's so free-spirited.

She knows
what she's talking about.

And i loved her bringing that
to the table.

Daly:
The artists will choose the song

They hope gets them
to the playoffs.

I'm gonna do "lost without u"
by robin thicke.

"no one" by alicia keys.

This song is very simple, and
it's usually her at her piano.

So i think work the stage
a little bit.
Yeah.

Pharrell:
Song choices are huge.

If you don't sing
the right song,

That could honestly
send you home.

Whoo!

You're ready

Daly: And with blake holding
the last steal,

The pressure is on.

daly: The knockouts continue...

-Whoo!
-Yeah!

Daly: ...Right now!

Christina:
This talent is so strong.

Shalyah came out swinging.

That was crazy.
-Shalyah.

Man.
-So hard.

I'm so happy
you have her now, too.

You made a big mistake.

-Oh, thank you.
-[ laughs ]

Just -- just completely forget
my strategy

Of just trying to keep
good people on the show.

Is that your strategy?

I won
with craig wayne boyd

By using my steal
in the knockouts.
-Got it.

Adam: You know what i think
your strategy is?

Letting us win.
-[ laughs ]

Daly: As our coaches
head for their chairs,

Let's look at blake's
first pairing of the night.

Blake:
I paired adam versus peyton

Because they're both
my storytelling artists.

I love both of these two.

Before the blinds,
i put school on hold for music,

And my parents
and i moved to nashville.

I love you.

♪now, who am i
to keep you down? ♪

The blind audition
changed my life.

Three of them turned around,
which is crazy.

[ as blake ]
come where it makes sense.

[ as blake ]
let's do this right.

The pitch
was so perfect.

Let's do this right.

[ laughter ]
-oh, god!

I pick blake.

[ cheers and applause ]

Blake is pushing me past
my vocal limits.

Peyton.

And i just want to show him

What kind of artist
that i want to be.

Blake: I would have never
made it through this process.

No one would vote for me,

'cause i would be up here
just, like, running off.

[ laughs ]
i wouldn't perform
in front of no one,

And then just, like,
christina aguilera
staring at me.

Oh.
Like, i know the girls,
like, that's their idol,

And, like, you go to perform
in front of that person,

That's just so scary.
-God.

-[ gasps ] hi.
-This girl is named miley cyrus.

How are you doing?

Peyton: It's so great
to have miley as an adviser

Because i know that
she has country background.

Her dad is billy ray cyrus,
and her cover of "jolene"

Is, like, one of my favorite
things to listen to, ever.

So, what are you singing?

I'm gonna sing "travelin'
soldier" by the dixie chicks.

It's a tough one.

It's a heavy song,

But it's kind of in the vein
that i want to be in

As a songwriter
and a singer.

I'm gonna be able to connect to
this song because i've been away

From my family and my boyfriend
for so long.

♪he's a little shy,
so she gave him a smile ♪

♪and he said, "would you mind
sitting down for a while?" ♪

That's really what
the song is about --

Having to spend time apart.

♪i'm waitin' for the soldier
to come back again ♪

Blake:
It's such an emotional song.

To perform a song like this
in a knockout-round situation,

I just had my doubts.

Sounds so good!

Yeah, it's a great song.

I was sucked in by her sound,
also by how clear she was.

Hey, you have the perfect
storytelling voice.

Like, you just want to listen
to what you're saying.

And it's a good song
to do that to.

Oh, perfect.

There's not very many places
to -- to get a breath...

Mm-hmm.
...So just, you know,
have a good plan

Of -- of how you're gonna
sing it.

And then finding
some higher harmonies, like...

♪our love will never end ♪

♪waitin' for a soldier
to come back again ♪

♪our love... ♪

You can, like, maybe, like,
stay up there.

Wow. That's the lyric
to hit that note on.

Just to be like,
"i miss you so much...

[ chuckles ]
...And i just want you
to come back."

This song ends up staying
kind of in one place.

And country music
does that a lot.

It just needed something
to break it up

And to have a moment.

♪waitin' for the love
of a travelin' soldier ♪

Peyton:
If i want to win this knockout,

It's crucial that i show off
more of a range.

And soak
all of their knowledge up

And put it out there
on the stage.

Adam w.: I play with a country
artist on the weekends.

I've got a bluegrass band.

Having one of these coaches

Could really help
put somebody like me on the map.

♪you're as warm
as a glass of brandy ♪

Guys like you
that get me so excited

About the future
of nashville.

I heard things other than
country in your voice.

Dude, you're country.

-I pick blake.
-Yes!

Adam w.: I'm definitely
a country dude.

But, you know, i grew up singing
a lot of r&b and soul stuff.

There was so much gospel and
blues and soul and country.

That was dope.

I want to make it
to the live shows.

I want to see
what america thinks

Of, you know, somebody
that sings like i do.

So, you're doing sam cooke,
"bring it on home to me."

Yeah, it's in my wheelhouse,
like, vocally.

-Let's sing.
-All right.

♪i've only hurt myself ♪

Blake: Adam was able to take
all these different influences

And melt them into his version
of country music.

It made total sense
why he's singing this song.

Adam, you sing so good,

And you are so lost
without an instrument.

I know, i know.

Miley: Are you usually
with your guitar?

-Or a piano.
-Well, it's so funny.

I mean,
this is the first time ever

I've sung without an instrument,
so...

-Right.
-I'm like, up here, like,

"i guess i could go over here."

Right, i know.
It's like...

And then,
"i guess i'll go over here, too.

I mean, i got
this whole space, you know."

-[ laughs ]
-right.

I think
it's good just knowing

This is one of
the hardest things

You'll ever have to do
in your career.

Let that personality
shine through.

Just seeing that little bit
of personality

When you're up here performing
and walking around a little bit.

That's all it needs, you know?
That's it.
Okay.

And then you'll -- 'cause you're
gonna feed off the audience.

You want to do it again
and just kind of...

Yeah,
i'll do it again and --

And i'm not saying
get out here and garth it up.

I'll work the room.

Work it!

If adam wants to have fans,

You've got to make people
connect to you.

Daly: Big hand for adam
and peyton, everybody,

In this knockout round
for team blake.

We're gonna go ahead
and start with christina.

Peyton,
i did push my button for you.

You chose blake.

Thought that was
a really pretty song.

I'm not sure whether
maybe the nerves

Got a little bit of you,

But i heard
some little cracky moments.

But you have a strong,
very pretty voice.

And perfect for country.

And, adam, you have
a very signature sound.

And it's very inviting.

It just warms everybody up
right away.

I think i might have a little
country crush on adam over here.

-Oh, no, she didn't!
-[ laughs ]

-Oh!
-Watch out, christina!

You've got a sexy voice,
adam.

I've got to say.
Just got to admit it.

Thank you. That's the best thing
i could hear.

Daly: Thank you, christina.
Pharrell, what'd you think?

Peyton, you have
a really beautiful voice.

And, yes, country artist.

But you can take that tone
and what it is that you do

And have your own thing
in pop music.

You really have
a great, great voice.

I did hear that crack
in the middle.

-Yeah.
-But it doesn't matter.

It happens to all of us.

Adam,
what you do is amazing.

And, yes,
i would have to go with adam,

But i just want to say, man,
i don't know what it is,

What's in your soul,
but it's awesome.

And please don't stop.

Thanks, man.
Appreciate it.

Thank you, pharrell.
Adam?

Peyton, i thought you were
really wonderful.

-Thank you.
-Really wonderful today.

What i saw was not
a technical mistake,

But it was more you became
flooded with emotion,

And the crack came
from that.

Tonight, i saw, i-i think,
your absolute best moment.

Adam, dude,
i have a different kind

Of, like, platonic crush on you,
i guess?

[ laughter ]

But, man, i just think
you're a very soulful singer,

And i'm a huge fan
of yours.

Thank you.
Thank you, adam.
Thank you, coaches.

Cowboy,
it all comes down to you.

Give us some thoughts
on that knockout.

Well,
it pumps me up to know

That this is the future
of country music.

Peyton, a lot of us have
built our careers on
that crack in our voice.

-You know what i'm saying?
-Yeah.

That's like being mad
at you

Because you sneezed
or something.

You know,
i thought you did a great job.

Your voice
is unbelievably beautiful.

Thank you!

And, adam,

Not only are you

Blake, who's the winner

That dude is crazy,
bro.

He'll be top three.

That was the best
i've ever heard you sing it.

-It was?
-Yeah.

-It was.
-Oh, good.

It was fab, except
that lovely run at the bottom,

Couldn't hardly hear it
from all that good screaming.

Yeah, well, that's good,

Because i think i was sharp,
so that's okay.

[ laughter ]

Peyton, would you like
to say something to blake?

Thank you all for all of the
kind things that you said to me.

And, um, keep on keeping on,
i guess. [ laughs ]

A big hand for peyton parker,
ladies and gentlemen.

[ cheers and applause ]

-Good luck to you, sweetie.
-Thank you.

I'll see you
in nashville.

Blake: That was a battle
of heartfelt country singers.

Peyton had a good night,
but adam had a great night.

Like, she was amazing.

It's just that when he started
mixing that gospel up in there,

Man, there was no way
to get around that.

No. That was his --
no one's gonna take
that away from him.

Whew.

Daly: Now, let's look
at pharrell's next matchup.

Pharrell: I paired moushumi
and nick together

Because moushumi
is an indie-pop singer

And nick is an r&b pop singer.

They both have power to work on
in their performances.

Before i came to "the voice,"
i was in medical school.

I decided to take the year off
and try music.

♪no, i don't want

Being on "the voice" validates,

Thank you.
[ laughs ]

This is something that actually
feels super fresh.

I pick pharrell.

[ cheers and applause ]

There we go!

Moushumi,
i definitely see the growth.

Pharrell, he's very unique,

And i think he's very open
to people who are different.

To be with him now

And to have him see
my progress is incredible.

Oh, hi!
-Hi, how are you?

-I'm so good. How are you?
-Radical.

Moushumi:
Miley cyrus is so unafraid,
and she's so unapologetic.

that's super, super important.

You have to know who you are.

♪cigarettes ♪

"new americana" is about not

Okay.
How do your parents feel

Is that gonna stop you from
staying focused on the show?

No. I was in med school.
I left.

They wanted me to do that,
and i didn't do that.

That's my whole entire life.

I'm very different
than my parents.

We have different views

Yeah.

So, i, like, respect them and i
understand the reason they are.

Just is a little bit
more projection.

Then you'll get more
of your real tone

And then people will
get to know you even better.

Yeah, try that, i think.

Putting more air
behind, like, the falsetto,

Just letting it
feel more powerful.

My biggest challenge
for this round

Is finding that balance
between using my falsetto

But still showcasing
a certain amount of power.

I get really nervous
in these rehearsals.

-Why?
-I don't know.

It's like when the crowd's here,
it's fine.

Like, if i have to sing
in front of five people,

I'm much more nervous

You guys sound amazing.

Daly:
Give it up for moushumi and nick
in a knockout for team pharrell.

Nice job, you guys.
Let's talk to our coaches.

We'll start with adam.
-Let's start with you, moushumi.

You're an amazing,
amazing singer.

You have
a beautiful voice.

And i almost wanted to hear
more of it.

I wanted
to see another gear.

However, beautiful.

-Thank you so much.
-Amazing.

And, nick,
you clearly have a way

Of engaging a crowd
that's unique.

You had them with you,
and -- and i think
that to be that bold,

To try to get them to come
on that journey with you

At this point
is really commendable.

I know you're a dancer.

And -- and i would have liked to
kind of see you move more.

I was missing some smoothness
in the falsetto,

But i think overall
it was pretty good.

I still think that there's more
to be seen from you.

Thanks, adam.
Blake?

Moushumi, what i think
would have helped

Is if you would have taken
a moment somewhere in the song

To really bust out a huge note,
something with some range.

Nick, because you have
a background in dancing,

I can tell
that you're a natural performer,

And it's easy to get
wrapped up into that

When you're watching it
and you're listening to it.

So i would
probably choose nick.

Thank you, blake.
Christina?

Christina: Moushumi,
you definitely have

A crystal-clear sound
that completely resonates.

And i love the fact that
the song choice was different.

It had a lot
of belty choruses.

It was nice to see a different
dimension in your voice.

And, nick, i think at
the beginning, kind of choppy,

So maybe i would have liked a
little more flow and smoothness.

But, you know,
i really love the fact

That you interacted so well
with the audience.

And i felt almost like
i was watching your concert.

It was so funny, too.

It was the first time
i've ever heard

Adam actually give the note

That he wants to see
you move around more

And, like, see you dance.

Yeah, i never say
that to anybody.

You got adam to say that.

You know, he likes it
just straight and simple.

But he does
his hair like so.

He changes that up,
right?
That's right.

-You go, girl.
-[ laughter ]

So, anyway, i do appreciate
both of you stylistically.

Tough choice, pharrell.

Mm.

All right, pharrell.
It all comes down to you, buddy.

What'd you think?

Moushumi,
i do agree with the coaches

When they say
they wanted to hear more,

And that was what i had
intimated to you before,

And i feel like there's
something interesting here.

But you can't just be known
for one thing,

Especially when you have the
chops to do these other things.

We could have gotten more
from you there.

But, overall, it was still
a very good performance.

Thank you.

[ applause ]

Nick, you did
a really good job, as well.

I felt like the first four lines
were not as strong

As they were
in the rehearsal.

But your transition
out of those first four lines

Began to get stronger
and stronger

Because you started to mix your
chest voice and your head voice.

Your crowd participation,
that went over really well.

And i thought
it was a good job.

[ cheers and applause ]

Pharrell, the time has come.

Who's the winner
of this knockout?

Um...

I think i'm probably
gonna go with the person

I feel like i can help more,

And only because i feel
like there's more work to do.

The winner of this knockout
is moushumi.

Daly: Moushumi's gonna move on
to the live playoffs,

Representing team pharrell.

Congratulations, moushumi.

Thank you so much.

I went with moushumi because
she's definitely a rare package.

There's no one else like her
on the show,

And there's definitely
no one like her on the charts.

I intend on bringing out
the best in her.

I am so proud.

I-i know that
she's gonna get to the top.

[ laughs ]

Nick, anything you want
to say to pharrell?

Nick: It's been an amazing
opportunity working with you --

One of the biggest reasons i was
excited about being on the show.

So, thank you
so much for everything.

And a big hand for nick hagelin,
everybody.

Thank you, nick.

Christina:
Nick's performance was good.

He definitely did not deserve
to go home yet.

Thank you, adam.

Daly: Give it up
for nick hagelin.

Nick:
I feel like i did my best.

It's always
a little nerve-racking,

But i'm just grateful
to have gotten to work

With so many amazing people.

It's been wonderful.

-Group hug!
-Group hug!

Yay, dad!

It's a bummer.

He just didn't do
what he did in rehearsals.

If he would've, i think
he would have gotten stolen.

Oh, really?
He was better in rehearsal?

Yeah.
That was just nerves.

At universal studios hollywood.

I secretly
can't breathe in here.

It looks like it's,

But it's --
she tied me in so tight,

Like the mom
in the beginning of "titanic."

Like...
-[ laughs ]

It's all an illusion.

This is
why we need two girls.

-Whoo!

Daly: As christina
and miley get settled,

Let's look at
her next knockout pairing.

Christina:
I paired maya and tamar

Because they do have a lot of
soul, a lot of r&b background,

So it'll be interesting to see
how that ties together.

Maya: Before the blinds, i was
working for the postal service.

I had stopped singing so much,

'cause the job made it
hard to do both.

♪do right ♪

Pharrell turned around.

Christina turned around.
It was insane.

Nobody appreciates a real
soulful singer more than myself.

Your voice just really
cut through.

I didn't want to miss out
on it.

I pick pharrell.

[ cheers and applause ]

Losing the battle
was not a great feeling,

But christina and blake
pushed their buttons,

And i was elated in that moment.

I've been so into you since
the blinds, so now is the time.

-Christina.
-Yes, girl!

Maya: Christina is somebody
that i feel like

I can learn a whole lot from.

-Hi!
-Hello!

-Miley's here today!
-Oh, my god, miley.

You're giving me such
rainbow brite feels.

-Yes!
-Hi!

The fact that miley
is such a crazy performer,

It's like the perfect person
to try to pull that out of me.

What are you
singing today?

"no one" by alicia keys.

Such an emotional song,

But yet fun at the same time.
-Okay.

♪get in the way

Christina:
Singing "no one," i really
wanted her to make it her own,

And she has an opportunity
to focus on her voice.

Since she is new to my team,

I think it's important for us to
all see what she's capable of.

Rhythmically, it doesn't have
to be right by the book.

-Okay, okay.
-So maybe stretch out notes.

Play with your falsetto
is always a nice thing

To sort of break up
the momentum.

Especially 'cause
this song, too,

Is very simple and it's
usually her at her piano.

Yeah.
So i think work
the stage a little bit,

Without being stuck there
the entire song.

If you were doing
an open-mike night,

I think you'd see yourself
being more free.

Let that shine through.

Miley: Maya stuck out to me
because i was thinking,

"do all post office chicks
just wail?"

There's all these hidden
talented people in the world

That, again,
this show is so great,

'cause otherwise how
would you know about 'em?

You hit
a certain blues riff.

I would do
other note structures there.

Ooh!

The confidence
is also what i think

You should work on
the most.

Yeah. I just want your arms
to, like, be free and open.

Yeah.

Since i am a steal
and since she did fight for me,

I'm really hoping
that i can prove it to her

That i deserve to be here.

Tamar: Before the blinds,
i was in the background.

I was working with tyler perry
and prince.

There's no better place to have
a dreamer express their dream

And their voice
than on "the voice."

I was so excited to be able
to step out on my own.

You deserve your moment

Give it up for maya and tamar.

Team christina in the knockouts.

Wow. Yeah.

Whoo!

Bb-bb-bb!

Wow.

Daly: Excellent job, ladies.
Pharrell?

Maya's former coach,
what did you think?

-Your team...
-[ laughs ]

...Is just like fireball
after fireball.

-It's crazy. It's crazy.
-It's crazy.

Let me start with maya.

Right when
you started singing,

Like, you just establishing
the zone for everybody.

Like, this is what this song
is supposed to feel like.

That was by far your
best performance on the show.

Thank you so much, pharrell.

And then, tamar,
it was crazy

The way that you let the song go
then pull it back

All because it's the way
sam smith's song goes.

But it was amazing
how i couldn't hear him anymore.

I could only hear you and your
thing and what you were doing.

Oh, thank you.
It was like watching
the x-men appear.

[ laughs ]

I watched two superheroes

Really show
what your voices could do.

Adam, what'd you think?

Maya, i didn't know
you had that range.

Like, a whole other side of
who you were kind of came out.

So, congratulations.

Thank you.

Tamar, wow.
Damn.

To me, this is putting you
on the map tonight.

Like, this -- this performance
is like bonkers, crazy.

Aw, thank you.

Daly: Blake shelton.

Tamar, such a timeless sound
that you have.

And you're just so strong
on top of that.

You showcased to your coach
you're ready for the lives.

Thank you.

Maya, you were able
to showcase some range

And some things
i think that surprised us all.

If i had to give an edge
to somebody,

I would give it, i guess,
to tamar.

Daly: Christina, your opinion,
of course, matters the most.

What did you think?
-Whew!

I feel like there's
a certain reputation

That team christina
has built this season,

And you made me proud.

Maya, you had a certain essence
when you were performing

And really owned
all the richness and greatness

And just, you elevated it
here today on the stage.

Beautiful, beautiful job.

Tamar, you didn't
just sing that song.

You m*rder*d that song.

And i do love something
that pharrell said.

Sam smith, he has a very
specific style that we know.

And you made it yours.

Christina, who's the winner
of this knockout?

Whew! Um...

I love you both so much.

The winner
of this knockout...

Is tamar.

Tamar, congratulations.

You're gonna move on
to represent

Christina aguilera's team...

Congratulations.

...In the live playoffs.
-Whoo!

-You deserved it.
-Thank you so much.

I've never cried
so much in my life,

But i'm just so elated
to remain on christina's team.

[ voice breaking ] and i'm so
excited to move on to the lives.

I really am.

Thank you to maya smith,
everybody.

Blake:
Even though maya gave it

Everything i think she had
to give it, it wasn't perfect.

You only have one steal
in the knockouts,

So i'm being extra picky
right now.

[ groans ]
i wish i could keep everybody!

Christina: Maya was
a great addition to my team.

But tamar is so skilled.

I'm ready to take her
to the lives.

I didn't think
that she was gonna come out here

And slay the way she did.

Oh, she slayed.
She came to play.
