Knockout Round 1: Team Snoop’s Austyns Stancil vs. Christina Eagle vs. Jake Tankersley

Austyn: Luther Vandross“Dance with my father”
Christina Eagle: Maren Morris“ “My Church”
Jake TankersleyLuke Combs“Leave, leave, leave.”

Winner: Austyns Stancil

Snoop said: “Austyns was the winner based on his spirit, his personality and how he composed himself to endure all that pain and loss to give us a great performance. You can’t stop the emotion when the emotion hits you. The tears start to flow, it’s real music, it’s real singing. Performing a song that has nothing to do with someone’s loss, imagine what it will give me.

Then Christina got a save from Snoop and a steal from Reba, Michael and Gwen. She chose to stay on Team Snoop.

Fly: Christine Aigle

Snoop said: “Christina Eagle is a superstar. I think America would love to see her on my team because she’s unpredictable. You went from one chair (Snoop was the only one to open the blinds) to four chairs. That’s how much you’ve grown. She had my backup from the moment she walked on stage. I knew I could pick one and save one.

Then Jake got flights from Reba and Gwen.

Steal: Jake Tankersley

Gwen said: “What I love about Jake is that he feels authentic in everything you love about a country singer. But also, someone who would take such a risk and choose me over Reba, maybe that’s meant to be and I’ll be able to do a great job with him.

Knockout Stage 2: Team Reba’s Adam Bohanan vs. Cassidy Lee vs. Jaukeem Fortson

Adam: Black pumas “Colors”
Cassidy: Bonnie Raitt“Love Me Like a Man” by
Jaukeem: King and country “God only knows”

Winner: Adam Bohanan

Reba said: “Adam is a force of nature. He’s an excellent guitarist. He’s got a great attitude, and then he opens his mouth and it’s this incredible voice.

Fly: Jaukeem Fortson

Michel said: “I stole from Jaukeem because when I was a kid, people saw my potential and loved me enough to give me that chance. I love being able to do this for people. I think he deserved it today.

KO, third round: Team Gwen’s Camryn Brooks vs. Deon Jones vs. Jose Luis

Camryn: P!nk“Glitter in the Air” by
Deon Jones: Tina Turner“Nutbush City Limits”
Jose: Ariana Grande“We can’t be friends (wait for your love)”

Winner: José Luis

Gwen said: “I had to choose José Luis because he is undeniable. It’s like one of those singers who says, “How are you really?” You’re so calm, you’re emotional. “I just want to see what he does next.”

Knockouts Round 4: Team Bublé’s Cameron Wright vs. Sloane Simon (Note: Michael only has two performers because Tanner Frick left The voice after rehearsals)

Cameron: Marvin Gaye and Tammy Terrell “You’re all I need to get through this.”
Sloane Simon as Olivia Rodrigo“Catch Me Now” by

Winner: Cameron Wright

Michel said: “I chose Cameron because their vocal performance was professional. The name of this show is The voice and I didn’t think it would be fair if they didn’t have a seat in the future.

Save: Sloane Simon

Michel said: “I chose Sloane because she is a star in the making. She has a really sweet voice. I think she is capable of tackling different genres. I love being able to do a little part of it.
