Last night (10/26) was the first night of the Knockout Round on season nine of “The Voice.” Blake Shelton chose two of his artists to advance to the live playoffs and tried to steal one artist from Pharrell Williams.
To start off with let’s look at the Team Blake artists that Blake paired for the Knockout Round last night. He decided to pair two powerful vocalists together in Barrett Baber and Blind Joe.
Barrett choose to sing the Zac Brown Band’s song “Colder Weather.”
Blind Joe went with the classic hit “Mamas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys” by Waylon Jennings featuring Willie Nelson.
After the two performances Blake had a tough decision to make, but ultimately decided to move forward with Barrett.
Blake also paired 15-year-old Chance Pena and Ivonne Acero. Both artists were stolen by Blake in the Battle Round.
Chance chose to step a little outside his indie artist style and sing “Demons” by Imagine Dragons.
Ivonne put her own style on the Katy Perry song “Part Of Me.”
Following the two performances Blake made the choice to take Ivonne to the live playoff shows.
Pharrell Williams put two of the strongest contenders he had on his team together as he paired Amy Vachal and Madi Davis.
Amy took on the Etta James classic “A Sunday Kind Of Love.”
16-year-old Madi picked the song “A Case Of You” from Joni Mitchell as her song.
Both ladies did a fabulous job and Pharrell had to make the tough decision to move forward only with Madi.
That left Amy available to steal and both Blake and Adam Levine hit their buttons for the steal. Both coaches made serious pitches for Amy to join their team, but in the end she decided to join Team Adam.
The Knockout Round continues tonight on “The Voice” with a one hour episode that starts at 8pm central time on NBC. Below is a leaked Knockout Round performance from Team Pharrell that will take place tonight.
