The Knockouts continued on tonight’s all new episode. Up first was Team Adam. Adam paired Jaali and Jared. Country Rock vs Pop, Soul and R&B. Jaali was finding herself in her art. She wanted to push boundaries so she stepped out of her comfort zone. She did that with her song choice. She performed “Big Girls Don’t Cry”. She got to be herself and she was up against a tough vocalist. Jaali even realized that for herself. She loved the raspiness in Jared’s tone. His laidback attitude that Adam actually told him to adopt during rehearsals ended up paying off rather well in the final performance.
Jared chose the song “Modern Day Bonnie and Clyde”. He performed great. Then again so did Jaali. Jaali was singing for her life. She has such an amazing tone. She won over the coaches with her performance. Still, there could only be one winner. Adam felt that Jared pushed out ahead with his song choice as well as his overall performance tonight. Jared was the winner of that Knockout. It also meant Jared got to perform with an all-star. They changed this up this season. They brought back all-stars to perform with their artists.
It was to help them coaches decide who should be their semifinalist. Continuing with the Knockouts, Team John was up next. He paired Grace with KJ. Grace went first. She performed “I Don’t Want to Wait”. It was Dawson Creek’s theme song. It was from her mother’s era. It was actually her mother who gave her the song to use. She messaged her daughter before her rehearsals with it. Grace’s voice was effortless with this song. She impressed everyone even in rehearsals. It was KJ who struggled more.
KJ chose the song “I’ll Make Love To You”. He has the voice for it. He just didn’t have the emotion behind it so John did warn him away from reciting the lyrics and he fixed it for his final performance of the song. He was full of emotion. He broke hearts and won some with his rendition. He also got a standing ovation from the coaches. Both KJ and Grace did great tonight. It was tough for John to name a winner and he ultimately went with KJ because he impressed him with the way he stepped up tonight.
Team Kelly finished the Knockouts with her team. She paired Jonah and Mikenley. They couldn’t be anymore different. Jonah needed to be told less is more because the fact he can reach those high notes and sustain them was already impressive enough. He didn’t need to add all those runs. Kelly told him to ease back. He chose “You’ll Be In My Heart”. It was a classic. Mikenley chose “Pink Pony Club” because it spoke to her. She grew up in a town where no one dressed like her or matched her vibe.
Mikenley chose the song because she felt it was about someone starting over somewhere new. A bit like she was doing in LA for the show. Mikenley went first and she stayed true to herself. It wasn’t bad. It was still pretty great. The same goes for Jonah. Jonah put a little more energy overall in his performance than Mikenley. He channeled Celine Dion. Kelly said as much. It was a big compliment. It just didn’t change her gut’s decision. She went with her gut and she named Mikenley as the winner of the last Knockout.
Then that’s when the All-star showdown began. The coaches all brought back two of their all-stars. They were brought back for a chance to compete against each other. There was also a challenge element. Kelly chose Girl Named Tom to come back and she got to name which coach she challenged this round. She named John. John could choose between either Maelyn or Renzo. He chose Renzo to bring it home. Girl Named Tom chose the song “Dust In the Wind”. Renzo chose the song “Dream On”.
Girl Named Tom’s rendition of their song was soft. It was delicate. It didn’t open on the strongest start. Yet, Renzo gave an absolutely different song with his rendition. He was a rocker and he showed he could still reach those high notes made famous by Steven Tyler. He went higher than he did when he originally performed the song. It was up to the Commissioner CeeLo Green to name the winner. He named Girl Named Tom. No one could beat their harmonization. Not even the great Renzo.
Team John then chose Maelyn. She had to battle against Team Adam’s Jordan Smith. Both were incredible vocalists. Maelyn performed “Hallelujah”. She shot to fame with that song and it launched her career. Her point of pride was still performing with John Legend himself. They wrote a song together. It was still tough to go against Jordan because even Team Adam all thought he couldn’t be defeated. He performed his rendition of “Chandelier”. He took his time and he eased into one of the most complicated songs known to man.
Both artists were vocalists to their core. CeeLo made his earlier decision based on who was on who he wished to aspire to be. He couldn’t use that metric system with these two because they were phenomenal. CeeLo named the winner of this All-star round as Jordan. Jordan was unmistakable. Only CeeLo still went with Maelyn because her voice touched his soul. He had to be moved emotionally to vote. Adam’s very own was Javier picked up the baton. He performed “Time After Time”.
He’s only gotten better with age. He has such amazing runs and that’s why he was Season 1 baby. He set off on what makes a great vocalists “the Voice”. Javier Colon was the OG winner. He was also won awards since he won. He had to go up against Team Kelly. Kelly chose Jake Hoot. He was good, but even Kelly was worried about his chances against an OG because they perform in such different fields. Jake was all country Javier was Pop with hints of Soul. Javier performed “Time After Time”. Jake performed “Desperado”.
They both stood out in albeit different ways. It was up to CeeLo. He was the Commissioner after all. And CeeLo named the winner of this showdown as Jake because Team Kelly deserved it only he has to do a lot to make up tonight to Adam.
THE END!
