As "The Voice" premiered last September 19, contenders have fought to seal their spots through the Blinds and the Battles, and coaches Blake Shelton, Miley Cyrus, Alicia Keys, and Adam Levine have prepared their singers for another showdown before the live rounds.
'The Voice' Season 11 Knockout Round Features Country Music Superstars
According the E!News, Country Music power couple superstars Tim McGraw and Faith Hill were tasked to be the mentors for all of the teams, while "The Voice" coaches were given one more steal to use for the artist they want. Contestants were given the option to choose their song, which aided the coaches to make the final cut with their respective teams.
As the Knockouts began, veteran "The Voice" coach Blake Shelton faced - off two of his country music artists Sundance Head, who sang Miley Cyrus' "The Climb" and Josh Gallagher, who sang a country music classic "My Maria". For their set, Sundance won the knockout round but coach Adam Levine stole Josh, giving him a shot for the live rounds.
The next pair was from "The Voice" neophyte coach Alicia Keys, as she paired off siblings Whitney and Shannon, who sang Jason Mraz's "I Won't Give Up," and Berkeley alumna Kylie Rothfield, who sang "Hound Dog" by Mama Thornton. Alicia picked Kylie as the winner of the knockout, and unfortunately, it's the end of the line for our sister-tandem.
Miley Cyrus, another neophyte "The Voice" coach, paired off Ali Caldwell, who sang Sade's "No Ordinary Love" and Pop singer Lauren Diaz, whom she stole from Alicia Keys during the Battles, sang "Rise Up" by Andra Day. Miley declared Ali as the winner and Lauren's chances of winning the competition has plummeted.
Adam Levine's Simone Gundy belted a powerful performance of a Gladys Knight - classic "Midnight Train to Georgia" against Dave Moisan's rendition of Sam Smith's "Like I Can." Simone's performance made Adam decide to declare her the winner and thus, ending Dave's shot on being "The Voice."
For Alicia's team, Wé McDonald brought to "The Voice" stage her take on Mary J. Blige's "No More Drama" against Beyoncé's "If I Were A Boy," performed by Courtnie Ramirez. Wé pushed the envelope which made her win the round, ending Courtnie's dreams of winning the competition.
