Last night (10/29) the Knockouts began on The Voice. What decisions did Blake Shelton make for Team Blake for season 15?
Kelly Clarkson had one of her team members have to leave the show before the Knockout Rounds began for personal reasons. As a result, she had to have a three-way-battle for her first Knockout Rounds performance. For that battle she brought together Kymberli Joye, Natasia GreyCloud and Zaxai.
Because of the situation Kelly had to choose two of the three artists to remain on her team for the Live Playoffs. She chose to keep Kymberli and Zaxai on Team Kelly. Blake decided to use his only “Steal” for this round to bring Natasia to Team Blake for the live shows.
The first Team Blake Knockouts battle was between Katrina Cain and the artist he stole from Team Adam in the Battle Rounds Funsho.
Katrina chose to perform The Chainsmokers’ “Don’t Let Me Down” for her Knockouts performance. The song really did not allow her to shine as well as she did in previous performances on the show.
Funsho chose “Earned It” by The Weeknd. During this performance we saw what kind of a powerhouse he is.
Based on this performance Blake made the choice to take Funsho to the Live Playoffs on Team Blake.
In the online feature the “Comeback Stage” the fifth coach on The Voice Kelsea Ballerini paired Lynnea Moorer with Ele Ivory. These two young artists both did great performances making a difficult decision for Kelsea.
Ultimately Kelsea made the decision to keep Lynnea Moorer around for the next round on the “Comeback Stage.”

The Knockouts continue tonight (10/30) on The Voice Season 15 starting at 7 PM central time (8 PM eastern time) on NBC.
