Daly: It's the final night of the knockouts.
* It's gonna be a knockout *
So far, three Mic Drops have been played.
And Snoop is waiting for a special performance.
I'm waiting on something
that's gonna make everybody stand up.
While the greatest mystery in "Voice" history
is still looming.
What's going on with the outfits?
I don't know what happened to Niall.
I thought Michael was going to tell him.
Have you got, like, some sort of, like, secret text chain
that you don't... [ Laughter ]
...that you don't, like, message me on?
[ Laughter continues ]
"All black leather today."
I thought you were on it.
God, we've gone through a lot of baby powder.
You look good, man.
I look like a children's TV presenter.
I'm going to blame myself for not giving Niall
the heads-up on this black leather play.
But I was taking a cat nap. [ Cat yowls ]
They didn't text me.
Niall: You know, I come here to stand out,
and so does my team.
Reba: Joe, thank you so much for doing this.
These kids work so hard
to get up to this part of the competition,
and for you to come in and give them your advice,
your expertise, it's priceless.
Thank you for the opportunity.
Your mustache is great.
No, my mustache is gr-- I mean your mustache is great!
Alright, fair enough, fair enough.
No, I'm just saying... Well said, well said.
Reba: I paired up Austin and Peyton.
Austin -- I stole him from Michael Bublé.
Daly: We got a steal!
I loved his performance, his heart.
I'm so thrilled that you're now a part of Team Reba.
Thank you so much, Reba.
Peyton was one of my first artists
that I selected on the blind auditions.
Michael: Peyton, you sounded great.
I don't know what's going on with me today.
Me either. That's okay. You watch.
No, no, no, hey... [ Cheering ]
Reba: Peyton's got an amazing voice.
Austin is more country.
Peyton is more R&B, rock and roll.
And so, put two good singers together.
They're different in styles and genres,
but they're great singers.
Well, now, don't be nervous 'cause I'm here, okay?
Austin: Yes, sir. Joe: Alright.
Nothing you can't ask me, but a couple things
I probably shouldn't answer. [ Laughter ]
Peyton: Joe Walsh is the perfect Mega Mentor for me
because he's an absolute rock legend.
I mean, he's had his hand in some of rock's
all-time greatest hits.
Okay, who wants to go first?
I will be singing first, I think, yeah.
You've got a song that you selected.
Why'd you pick this one?
"Eight Second Ride" by Jake Owen.
I chose this song because I love to work a crowd.
It gets me going, and it gets the crowd hyped up
and on their feet.
It's a country anthem.
Eight seconds is how long
that you would ride a bull for in a rodeo.
I wanted to be a bull rider ever since I was a little kid.
As soon as I got on that first ride, I was hooked.
Getting on the back of a 2,000-pound animal
that wants nothing more to get you off of them,
it is an adrenaline rush
like you couldn't get anywhere else.
So, this is a fast, upbeat song,
just like the sport of bull riding.
It's energetic and it's crazy.
Come on!
[ Laughing ]
* I said, "Hey, girl, what's your name?" *
* "Haven't I seen you before?" *
Austin -- he's a giver onstage.
He's got a great range.
Got a little growl on his voice
when he's getting those high notes. Yeah.
* So we headed out to old Tobacco Road *
Powerful. Really powerful.
* Yeaaaah *
He did a great job on it.
Whoo-hoo! Very nice!
Now, I had a little bit of trouble hearing the low notes.
Just -- Just that. Yes, sir.
Pronounce it. We need to hear the S's and the T's.
Is that key pretty good for you?
What do you think about going up a half step?
Austin: I'd be more than willing to try it, for sure.
Let's do, and then that way we can all see
if it's a little better on that low end.
If we're going up in key, don't think,
"Oh, boy, here come the high notes."
Don't panic.
You'll make it. Absolutely.
* I said, "Come on up, but, honey, watch the cup" *
Man, Austin is like that pure country rocker.
Lots better. Yeah.
If I'm gonna win this knockout...
Kill it, brother. You crushed that.
...I'm gonna have to be the showstopper
above the showstopper.
I'm singing "I Don't Want to Be" by Gavin DeGraw.
You know, the lyrics are talking about
I don't want to be anything but me.
I don't have to tell y'all,
you hear a lot of different things in your career.
A lot of different people try to tell you what to do.
When I first moved to North Georgia,
I was doing small little gig shows,
and there was a lot of people
telling me I should sing country music,
but I've always just wanted to be a rock star.
In the last couple years,
I've come to find that there's been nothing better
for me than trusting my own gut.
Being on Team Reba has been wonderful, and I feel
like I've progressed every round I've been with her.
I couldn't be more thankful to be on her team.
You know, sometimes onstage you think
that everybody's got a clipboard
and they're grading you. Peyton: Yeah.
This is all mind noise that you don't need.
And when I could stop all that mind noise,
you really start to play.
Love that. Let's hear it.
Sweet deal.
* I don't wanna be anything other than *
* What I've been trying to be lately *
I thought Peyton's song choice was really, really good.
* And have peace of mind *
It was a song he loved to sing.
I think that's the most important thing
about their song selection.
It's got to be a song that they're familiar with enough
to be comfortable with onstage.
* I don't wanna be anything other than me *
Austin: I'm a little bit nervous to battle Peyton, actually.
He showed me what I'm up against,
and I'm gonna have to bring my "A" game.
Reba: Very good! Way to go, guys!
Oh, my gosh, I was, like, running out of air for you.
Yeah! That's one of those things.
"He's never gonna make it!"
I chose a tough one, that's for sure.
That's good stuff, man.
And you did a little bit of embellishing towards the end.
Nailed it. Nailed it. Nailed it. Yeah.
Thank you. Peyton, one thing I was wondering,
on the breakdown when you went up into falsetto,
could you carry that falsetto up a little longer?
[ Vocalizing ]
I sure can.
It was just a really sweet spot,
and it went by way too fast.
Yeah, I'd hit it and hold it.
For sure. I can always try. Alright.
I don't know how you decide
between two people who are really good.
Reba: I'm very proud of you guys.
-Thank you so much. -Thank you.
The decision between Peyton and Austin is going to be tough.
And I think it's just going to come down to
their night's performance.
Come on, Peyton!
Who's the show dog that's going to come out
and really perform and shine?
Austin: Let's go, brother.
[ Cheers and applause ]
**
* I don't need to be anything other *
* Than a prison guard's son *
Whoo!
* I don't need to be anything other *
* Than a specialist's son *
* I don't have to be anyone other *
* Than the birth of two souls in one *
* 'Cause part of where I'm going *

Whoa! Whoo! [ Cheers and applause ]
Whoa! Way to go, Peyton!
Damn!
Reba: Come on, Austin!
* This is "The Voice" *
Daly: Welcome back to the knockouts.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Ah!
Whoo! Come on, Austin!
You go, boy!
With "Eight Second Ride," here's Austin Gilbert.
[ Cheers and applause ]
**
Come on!
[ Audience cheering ]
**
* I said, "Hey, girl, what's your name?" *
* "Haven't I seen you before?" *
* I recognized them pretty blue eyes *
* When you walked through the door *
* "Are you alone or are you with someone?" ?
* She said, "Matter of fact, I'm not" *
* So I took her hand, that's when it all began *
* And we headed towards the parking lot *
* She said, "Hey, boy" *
* "Do you mind taking me home tonight? *
* "'Cause I ain't never seen a country boy *
* With tires on his truck this high" *
* I said, "Come on up, but, honey, watch the cup *
* I been spittin' my dip inside" *
* Yeah, hold on tight *
* 'Cause it's gonna be wilder *
* Than any eight-second ride *
* So we headed out to old Tobacco Road *
Yeah, man.
* Put the tailgate down *
* And we made love *
* She said, "A true country boy is hard to find" *
* "But I found one wilder than any eight-second ride" *
* She said, "Hey, boy, do you mind *
taking me home tonight?" *
* "'Cause I ain't never seen a country boy *
* With tires on his truck this high" *
* I said, "Come on up, but, honey, watch the cup *
* I've been spitting my dip inside" *
* Yeah, hold on tight *

* Yeah, hold on tight *
* 'Cause it's gonna be wilder *
* Than any eight-second *

* Yeah, yeaaaaah *
* Yeah, yeah *
[ Cheers and applause ]
Whoo! Way to go, Austin!
Yee-haw!
-Killed it. -Well done.
Damn.
Whoo! What a way to start, huh?
Give it up for Austin and Peyton, everybody.
-Yeah! -Whoo!
You guys both showed up. You left nothing.
This is what the knockouts are about.
Yeah. Thank you, Mike.
Michael: Honestly, Reba, I, uh...
I don't know that I could choose,
because both of you just nailed it.
So, good luck, Reba. Reba: Thank you.
Thank you. They're great. They're really great.
I'll start with you, Austin.
I thought that song was perfect
'cause it showed a whole lot of what you have to offer
and why Reba stole you.
Reba, you are so smart at what you do
when it comes to that field of music.
I would want to be like you one day. [ Laughter ]
Brother Peyton, I gave you five stars.
Reba, now, what I want to say is,
if you're looking for something that's directly in your world,
then I would pick Austin.
But if you're looking for that big pop act that can,
you know, cross over, I would pick Peyton.
Okay, thanks. Thanks, Snoop.
Niall: This is what I love about the knockouts.
We get to see exactly who you think you are.
Because up until that point, we're picking the songs.
Austin, it was so good to see that rockier side of you.
What I learned about Peyton was Peyton can sing anything.
Bruno in the blinds, and Crowded House with Shan,
and then a Gavin DeGraw song.
And you do them all justice.
You Peyton-ize them.
[ Laughter ]
I would lean towards Peyton. Yeah?
Niall: He's gonna surprise a lot of people around here, I think.
Reba: Okay, thanks. Daly: Thank you, coaches.
Thanks, Niall.
Alright, Reba, before you tell us who won the knockout,
give us your thoughts, please.
Reba: Austin, you never disappoint.
You sang your butt off and you did a great job.
I'm very, very proud of you.
And then, Peyton, you know, I liked you from the beginning
because I was the only one that turned for you.
Yes, ma'am. Reba: Their loss. My gain.
Thanks for that, by the way.
You're very welcome. [ Laughs ]
No, thank you for that!
Daly: Reba, you got a tough decision here,
but the time has come.
Who is the winner of this knockout?
I'm really torn.
Austin, being a country singer, got my loyalties there.
But, Peyton, you've just got the voice,
and that's what this TV show is called.
**
Austin, I'm terribly sorry, but the winner of this knockout
is Peyton.
Congratulations!
Peyton Kyle, you're moving on to the playoffs!
Peyton's got an amazing voice.
Got more in the tank. I have a feeling.
I think you could throw the phone book at him
and he'd try to sing that,
and he'd do it very well.
Do you understand that we don't know what we're going to do?
It's really hard. Really hard.
And plus, we know you're judging us.
[ Laughter ]
And then online, you're gonna say, like,
"That Bublé doesn't know anything!
Even though he's incredibly handsome."
[ Laughter ]
Daly: Coming up...
* Hard-fought, heartfelt *
Daly: ...the artists knock it out of the park.
* You're all *
Daly: And a chance to perform at the Rose Parade
is on the line.
I got the roses on my shirt. It's already mine.
* You gotta get up and try, try, try *
I wanna win this knockout so badly.
Daly: Hold it! Snoop hits his Mic Drop button!
**
* This is "The Voice" *
Daly: Welcome back to the knockouts.
Niall: Alright, Joe. Yep.
Thank you very much for coming in
and being a part of the team. Sure.
Producer: How good is Niall's team?
Ehhh. My team?
They're like...? [ Laughs ]
I think it's an amazing team.
He's the kind of guy that wants you to do better.
Thank you, Joe.
We have Dustin and Kirbi,
both a four-chair turn.
Dustin wasn't feeling very well
and is not going to make it to the rehearsal.
I paired Dustin and Kirbi together
just because they're so different.
What do I need in my team?
Do I need Dustin and his guitar, playing harmonica?
Do I need a ballad singer in Kirbi with a unique voice?
And I just put those two together
just to see what would happen.
Kirbi!
Hi! Hello!
Oh, my gosh! I know you, Mr. Joe. Hi.
Seeing Joe Walsh as the Mega Mentor, I was mind-blown.
I've listened to you, like, my whole life.
You smell better than him. Really?
Hey, Joe! Y'all both smell really good, so...
I've been told I smell lovely.
[ Laughter ]
My friend's sick today, so...
Yeah, I've never done it like this,
where it's just one of you.
I know. None of that matters.
Alright. You're right. We're here to hear you.
Thank you. With this tune, here's another one.
This song means a lot to me,
and I feel like if I could sum up who I am in a song,
this would probably be it. Really?
I come from the Shoals area.
I grew up singing blues and soul music,
so I feel like this kind of has that aspect. Let's hear it.
* There's times when my hands go up freely *
* And times that it costs *
* Uh oh * Whew!
Kirbi is doing "Hard Fought Hallelujah"
by Brandon Lake and Jelly Roll.
I love when girls take guys' songs. It's exciting.
It makes you interested in what's going to happen next.
* Been-through-hell hallelujah *
Joe: She's pretty amazing.
There's a couple different parts of that song, loud and soft,
but there's also different attitudes.
Being able to do that
without it being a distraction,
she's great at that.
Oh, my God. Thank y'all.
Let me catch my breath, then I'll clap for you.
Yeah, I've got goosebumps.
Oh, thank you.
I don't want to overcompensate.
With the power behind it,
I kind of want to let it speak for itself.
Yeah. Knowing when to do that, it's a fine line,
but knowing when to turn it on and bring it back a little.
When it's small, make it small.
When it's big, make it big.
I've been following Jelly Roll for a long time.
He's very good.
And I actually performed as an opening artist
at a festival, and he was the headliner.
No way! And I actually got to go backstage.
I ran up to him and I was like,
"Can I get a picture with you?"
I want to connect with anybody that listens to me
in a way where I make them feel something.
And this song, I feel like, does that.
The only thing about this -- I've got no saves.
There's no steals left in the competition.
Don't tell me that.
Kirbi: I want to progress in this competition so bad.
So I want to show Niall I'm going to bring 100%
in every round and not give up.
I'm standing here going, what am I going to do?
[ Laughs ]
[ Cellphone ringing ]
Dustin! How are you feeling?
I feel a lot better. Sorry I couldn't make it.
Man, I really wanted to be a part of everything,
get to hang out and talk about the song.
You have to get better first, and then we'll worry about that.
You still have time to rehearse.
* She says she talks to angels *
By the way, "She Talks to Angels" by the Black Crowes --
what a song choice.
Why did you pick this tune?
There's a lot of lyrical depth
that I truly feel connected to,
but then also has those bluesy undertones that I really enjoy.
**
I can see why you wanted to put the harmonica on it.
It's definitely got a bluesy swing to it.
Between your blind audition and now, I understand
that you like to just play around with anything.
You have to try to remain versatile in this world
that, you know, changes in a second.
No doubt, brother. Get better.
I'll be listening to the rehearsals.
I can't wait to hear what you've done.
Daly: Entering now for this Team Niall knockout,
Dustin Dale Gaspard...
Wow!
Kirbi: I knew this would be a tough round
because Dustin being another four-chair turn,
I really don't know how this could go.
He's back! Daly: ...versus Kirbi!
Niall: Come on, Kirbi!
Kirbi: I haven't been able to listen to him at all,
and he hasn't been able to listen to me.
So it'll be like a genuine face-off because we both
don't know what we're bringing to the table.
Daly: Singing "She Talks to Angels,"
here's Dustin Dale Gaspard.
[ Cheers and applause ]
* She never mentions the word addiction *
**
* In certain company *
**
* She'll tell you she's an orphan *
* After you meet her family *
* She says she talks to angels *
* They call her out by her name *
* Oh, yeah, she talks to angels *
* They call her out by her name *
Here we go!
* She don't know no lover, no *
* None that I ever seen, yeah *
* And to her that ain't nothing, yeah *
* But to me, yeah, me *
* It means everything *
**
* She says she talks to angels *
* They call her out by her name *
Ooh!
* Oh, yeah, angels *
* They call her out, yeah *
* Don't you know that they call her out *
* By her name *
[ Cheers and applause ]
Yeah! That's my boy!
Very good. Whoo!
Dustin Dale never fails!
Oh, wow-ee!
* This is "The Voice" *
Daly: Welcome back to the Knockouts
at Universal Studios Hollywood.
Come on, Kirbi!
[ Cheers and applause ]
Now, with "Hard Fought Hallelujah,"
here's Kirbi.
[ Cheers and applause ]
**
* Yeah, I don't always feel it *
* But that's when I need it the most *
* So I'ma keep on singing *
* Till my soul catches up with my song *
* There's times when my hands go up freely *
* And times that it costs *
* Uh oh *
* There's days when a praise comes out easy *
* And days when it takes all the strength I've got *
* So I'll bring my hard-fought, heartfelt *
* Been-through-hell hallelujah *
* I'll bring my hard-fought, heartfelt *
* It-is-well hallelujah *
* Lord, I need you *
* More than I need anything in my life *
* Break off these chains, Lord *
* I'll bring my hard-fought, heartfelt *
* Been-through-hell hallelujah *
Whoa!
* I'll bring my storm-tossed, torn-sail *
* Story-to-tell hallelujah *
* Oh-oh-oh-oh *
* 'Cause, God, you've been patient *
* God, you've been gracious *
* Faithful whatever I'm feeling or facing *
* So I'll bring my hard-fought, heartfelt *
* It-is-well hallelujah *
[ Cheers and applause ]
Girl, sing that some more.
[ Cheers and applause continue ]
**
Dustin and Kirbi, that was fantastic.
Thank you. Dustin, great song choice.
Great performance. Loved your harmonica playing.
And as usual, your singing is just stupendous.
And, Kirbi, you got into it. It was very emotional.
I did, thank you. It was really, really good.
I would go with Kirbi.
Thank you, Reba.
Kirbi, I love the juxtaposition of you singing a song
that I've heard so many times by great male singers.
You understand who you are, where you want to go,
and that you have the guts to take on songs
that may not seem like they may be in your lane.
I love that. Thank you.
Dustin, you bring something
that not any artist from any of our teams bring.
And you're my guy, man.
I just dig what you do so much.
And it doesn't mean I don't love you, Kirbi.
It's just, I think you're great, Dustin. Oh, wow.
Congratulations on both. Appreciate you, Michael.
Snoop: Dustin Dale.
I love the way you able to sing, play.
You had me over here enjoying every minute of it.
I wanted more "wah-wah-wah-wah."
Bluegrass, green grass, it's all the same, man.
[ Laughter ]
Great performance, Dustin.
They don't know what that mean, but he do.
Thank you, thank you. It just clicked with me.
Snoop: And, Kirbi, that was the perfect song for you.
When you were... [ Vocalizing ]
I got the flowy sleeves.
Yeah, you were throwing it to the left.
Throw it here, throw it here, get it out of here.
That performance of that record right there...
[ Whistles ]
Daly: Thank you, coaches!
Alright, buddy. Tough decision coming up in a minute.
Give us some thoughts on the knockout first.
I feel like I'm gonna pass out or something.
[ Laughter ]
Dustin, you're an artist to your core.
From the second I seen you, I was like,
this guy is the real deal.
And, Kirbi,
that was your best performance to date.
Thank you. Without a shadow of a doubt.
Thank you. It's beautiful to watch.
Beautiful to listen to. You just smashed it.
Niall, the time has come.
**
I have to go with what I seen in the room on the knockout.
And I think the winner of the knockout...
...is Kirbi.
Kirbi, stunned, is moving on to the playoffs!
Niall: I picked Kirbi simply down to the fact
that what she did in her performance
tonight was just undeniable.
There was no way she could sing like that,
give the emotion that she gave,
and leave this competition.
She absolutely deserves to be in my top four.
Thank y'all so much. I love y'all.
And I'm so excited going into the playoffs.
God, I hate this show sometimes.
It's okay.
She was unbelievable there.
Yeah. Yeah.
* This is "The Voice" *
Daly: Welcome back to the final night
of the knockouts.
* Playing to win *
Who wants a "Voice" trophy?
I mean, because I've won so many.
No hardware for the Dogg,
but I don't do it for the accolades.
I do it for the love.
Snoop: * Want to help a Dogg, unh! *
* Leave it alone *
* Leave it, unh, leave it alone *
* You gotta leave it alone *
It'd be fun to, like, get everybody,
like, in a bathroom somewhere.
And hear your voice banking off the wall like that.
Oh, yeah, that's that bathroom old-school sound.
I did a lot of freestyle battles in the '80s in bathrooms.
So, the last two -- Yoshihanaa and Lauren.
* Let's go sing in front of Coach Snoop *
Come get me! Come get me! Hey!
So, we're gonna bring 'em out.
Both: Oh, my God!
I paired Yoshihanaa against Lauren
because they were two singers who have big voices,
and it just was out the box.
It was something unorthodox.
I have to let you know that they added
a special component to this round --
Mic Drop.
And what happens, Zac, with that right there?
'Cause this is brand-new to me too.
Each coach picks one person on their team
that has the best performance.
America votes on those four,
and the winner performs at the Rose Parade.
Lauren: What? What?! Whaaat?!
I'm definitely hoping to make the Mic Drop button.
I'm speaking it into existence.
I got the roses on my shirt. It's already mine.
So, Lauren, would you tell me what song you chose
and why did you choose it?
I chose to sing "Try" by Pink.
Mm!
Growing up, every time I saw her onstage,
it made me feel like there was a place for me in this world.
Us touring musicians,
it's hard to make money on the road.
But I am very stubborn.
I chase my dreams almost psychotically.
[ Laughs ]
I don't want to be anywhere else.
I want to sing. I want to perform.
I want to share that with the world.
The song is just a reminder to just don't give up.
Keep trying. That's right.
I'm anxious for Zac to hear you sing
because you know I love that growl you get.
I hope I get a little bit.
Oh, I got a little growl for ya.
* Where there is desire, there is gonna be a flame *
I really liked her rock kind of growl that she has.
Her connection to Pink and that song
is a really good one for her.
Yoshihanaa: The most intimidating thing for me
to go up against Lauren --
she is so powerful and she lands a lot of her choices.
So the pressure's on, and I'm ready.
Mm! Whoo!
-Alright. -You go, girl.
Zac: Your power's there.
On your last note, you just gotta watch.
Watch your pitch just a little bit.
Yes, that last note I've been struggling with.
I would end it more on a lighter, rather than so up. Okay. Yeah.
Because the way you explained what this record means to you,
it's not just you singing.
Yeah. This means something to you.
Yeah. Make me feel that.
I want to win this knockout so badly.
I've got more to do and I'm not ready to leave.
I'm doing "You're All I Need to Get By"
by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell. And Tammi Terrell?
By yourself? By myself.
It's important to me because after my divorce,
I literally had to rebuild my entire life,
and I leaned on the love and support of my immediate family
and the love I got for my kids.
And so this song just has a deeper meaning for me.
So, you know, I am nervous to do it because...
'Cause you don't know what the emotion gonna be.
I don't know what's gonna come up out of the bag.
It happens to me.
I got songs I wrote about my daughters.
When I sing those, I always mess up a note.
Yeah. But they know it's just me being real and being human.
Thank you for sharing that with me.
And if I start crying, you mind your business.
I got you, right here. Yeah. Thank you.
* I will go where you lead *
* Always there in time of need *
Yoshihanaa, when she just started to kind of
open up, man -- Wow.
* There's no, no looking back *
We didn't even hear her go to 10. That's what I'm...
You know, she was still at like 6 1/2.
I'm glad you noticed, dude.
She looked like she could break glass.
Um, hello.
* By, by, by *
Lauren: Yeah! Whoo!
Man, you're like a little rocket.
[ Laughter ]
When you started blowing,
I just thought you were gonna take off backwards.
That "by, by, by, by."
I like that. You like that?
I love that. * By, by, by *
'Cause you already been extra'd out all over,
that you don't have to try so hard.
Sometimes the beauty is just letting it just be natural.
Okay. Your mic control is great.
Some people get off the mic too much.
There were a couple times at the end there, too,
where you might come up a little bit.
Yeah. But you got so much power
that when you're ad-libbing in between,
you can pull off for those a little bit
so the lyric comes back in as the, as the full.
I'm gonna just go all out and take us to the top.
Lauren, can you come back out?
Yes. Yoshi is a powerhouse.
She's, like, throwing out notes like she's just breathing.
I got some work cut out for me.
-Thank you, guys. -Break the system. -Y'all have a good one.
I think it's just a matter of taking the direction
and really rising to that moment...
[ Cheers and applause ]
...and seeing how they make us feel when it counts.
Whoo!
* You're all I need to get by *
* Ooh, ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh *
* You're all I need *
* Like sweet morning dew, I took one look at you *
* And it was plain to see, you were my destiny *
* With arms open wide, I threw away my pride *
* I'll sacrifice for you *
* Dedicate my life to you *
* I will go where you lead *
* Always there in time of need *
* And when I lose my will *
* You'll be there to push me up the hill *
* There's no looking back for us, baby *
* We've got love, sure 'nough, that's enough *
* You're all *
* You're all I need to get by *
Whoa-ho-ho-ho-ho!
* Like an eagle protects his nest *
* For you, I'll do my best *
* Stand by you like a dream *
* And dare anybody to try and move me *
* Just do what's good for you and inspire you *
* Hey, I know you can make a man *
* Out of this soul that didn't have a plan *
* 'Cause we, we got foundation, baby *
* And with love and determination *
* You're all *
* Oh oh, oh oh, oh, oh, oh oh oh *
* Oh *
* You're my joy *
* Yeah, yeah, yeah *
* Yeah, you're all I need *
* Oh, you're all I need *
* Baby, baby, to get by *
* Ooh, ooh ooh, to get by *
* By, by, by *
[ Cheers and applause ]
[ Laughs ] Oh!
My God.
[ Cheers and applause ]
My God!
Holy Mergatroids!
* This is "The Voice" *
Daly: Welcome back to the knockouts.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Snoop: Let's go, Lauren!
With "Try," here's Lauren Anderson.
**
* Ever wonder 'bout what he's doing? *
Yeah!
* How it all turned to lies? *
**
* Sometimes I think that it's better *
* To never ask why *
**
* Where there is desire, there is gonna be a flame *
* Where there is a flame, someone's bound to get burned *
* But just because it burns doesn't mean you're gonna die *
* You gotta get up and try and try and try *
* You gotta get up and try, try, try *
* You gotta get up and try, tryyyyy *
* Ever worry that it might be ruined? *
* Does it make you wanna cry? *
* When you're out there doing what you're doing? *
* Are you just getting by? *
**
* Tell me, are you just getting by? *
* Where there is desire, there is gonna be a flame *
* Where there is a flame, someone's bound to get burned *
* But just because it burns doesn't mean you're gonna die *
* You gotta get up and try, and try, and try *
* You gotta get up and try, try, try *
* You gotta get up *
* Get up, get up, get up *
* And tryyyyyy *
* Try, try, try *
[ Cheers and applause ]
Whoo!
Way to go, Lauren! Yeah!
[ Cheers and applause ]
Yeah!
Yoshihanaa, whoa. [ Laughter ]
You look like a superstar up there.
You looked so in control.
The range, from the first note to the last note, is crazy.
To be honest, I wasn't expecting anything less.
And, Lauren, wow-ee.
The way you march around a stage
and command people's attention, pretty spectacular.
There's not many that do it like you and can still hold a tune.
You know? Lauren, that was an amazing job
and a huge song. Reba: Amazing.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Golly, Lauren, I was really entertained,
and I loved the way you worked your shawl.
That was fun. Thank you.
Yoshihanaa, I wasn't expecting what you did.
But I have to ask a very personal question
for the ladies in the viewing audience.
Are those pants or boots all the way up?
These are boots, Miss Reba.
They're boots? Yes.
And I told them I wanted them all the way up my thigh.
You better go, girl. You better go, Yoshihanaa. Ha!
Y'all are two beautifully talented women
that "The Voice" is so blessed to have on the show.
Both: Thank you. [ Cheers and applause ]
You're playing with your shawl,
and you're out there with your thigh-high boots,
doing your thing, and it just makes me go, like,
you're so meant to be here.
I don't know that Snoop can make the right decision
or the wrong decision.
I think he can only make a decision,
and that both of you are well on your way to getting
to wherever you're gonna go.
-Oh, alright. -Thank you.
Daly: Thank you, coaches!
Lovely. Good sound bite.
Unc, you got a tough one here in a minute,
but give us some thoughts on that knockout first.
Lauren, I was the only chair turn for you.
Every time you hit that stage, you get better, brighter.
Thank you.
Yoshihanaa, I love your stage control.
I love the power of your voice.
You made me a believer,
so thank you for performing with all your heart.
Thank you so much.
Daly: Snoop, you got a tough decision here, man.
Great, great knockout, but the time has come.
Who is the winner of this knockout?
This is tough because we've become family.
So it's not like you want to send anybody off.
We just want to keep somebody inspired.
So, with that being said,
the winner of this knockout is...
[ Dramatic music plays ]
...Yoshihanaa.
Yoshihanaa, congratulations!
You're moving on to the playoffs with Team Snoop!
* Take a bow, take a bow *
Hold it! Snoop hits his Mic Drop button for Yoshihanaa!
Snoop: The reason why I gave Yoshihanaa the mic drop
is 'cause she did everything but drop the mic.
So it was my job to mic drop on her behalf.
* You deserve the applause *
She has that star quality
that could actually win "The Voice."
What an opportunity. Why did you push
your Mic Drop button for Yoshihanaa?
I think she is one of those voices
that could sing on that big stage.
She's got a big, powerful voice, a beautiful spirit,
and she represents Team Snoop to the fullest.
Love it. Thank you so much.
Congratulations, Yoshihanaa.
Go see your coach, and we'll see you in the playoffs.
Thank you so much!
I'm overjoyed. I got the Mic Drop!
I got the Mic Drop nomination.
I'm so excited. I'm forever indebted.
I love Coach Snoop.
[ Screaming, laughing ]
I can't wait to give you something to sing.
I'm gonna give you something deep.
Oh! I'ma pull something deep.
-Oh, I'm scared. I'm nervous. -Hello!
But I know I got it. I got it.
You got this, Yoshihanaa. I know I got it.
This is what you do-do!
Love you so much, Coach.
Hey, good job, Snoop. Way to go, buddy.
Each coach has four incredible artists
going into the playoffs, and they're going to do great.
We've already been talking about their songs,
what we're going to have them sing.
They're so excited and ready to go.
[ Cheers and applause ]
The artists are locked for the playoffs,
but we still have some important business to take care of.
So let's bring out their Mic Drop artists now.
Team Bublé's Max Chambers!
* Whoa, ohhhh *
* Yeah, ohhh *
At 14 years old, he exhibits a mastery well beyond his years.
Daly: Team Reba's Aaron Nichols!
* Nobody taught her *
* It takes a lot of water *
* To wash away New Orleans *
Reba: He's a show dog,
and he would do a great job at the Rose Parade.
Daly: From Team Niall, Dek of Hearts!
* Forever and ever and ever *
* I'm... *
Niall: The wall of sound they create
when they sing together in three-part harmony
is unlike anything in music right now.
Daly: And from Team Snoop, Yoshihanaa!
* You're my joy, yeah, yeah, yeah *
* Yeah, you're all I need *
Snoop: She was in full control.
She showed America what she is and who she is.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Daly: Congratulations to our artists.
They were nominated by their coaches.
And of course, now it is up to you to pick one
to perform in front of millions at the upcoming Rose Parade.
Voting is open now on the "Voice" official app
and NBC.com.
Get to it! Be sure and join us next week.
We're going to kick off the season 28 playoffs!
Thanks for watching, everybody. I'm Carson Daly. Goodnight.
If I were you, America I'd be very excited about this.
[ Cheers and applause ]
