AceShowbiz - The Knockouts resumed in the Tuesday, November 1 episode of "The Voice" season 22. In the second round of Knockouts, more singers from the coaches' respective teams took the stage in hopes of advancing to the Live Playoffs.
The first three singers to perform that night were Team John Legend's Ian Harrison, Morgan Taylor and Omar Jose Cardona. Ian kicked it off with a performance of "Cough Syrup", a song from his childhood that reminded him of his passion to be a musician. Morgan picked "I Got You (I Feel Good)" as she added her own spin to the song. Omar, meanwhile, went with "Radioactive" as a tribute to his brother.
Following their performances, Blake Shelton said Morgan gave her best performance. He also praised Ian for stepping out in a new way, before adding that he was most impressed by Omar's big vocal. Gwen, meanwhile, loved Ian's tone and voice in addition to gushing over Omar's talent. Eventually, John picked Omar as the winner.
It was then revealed that team Camila Cabello's Eric Who defeated Jaeden Luke and Reina Ley with his take on "Ex's & Oh's". Camila dubbed him one of the best entertainers of the season.
Later, it was time for Team Blake's Kate Kalvach, Jay Allen and Bryce Leatherwood to hit the stage. Jay sang "Pray for You" that he dedicated to his future wife whom he will be marrying in a few weeks. Bryce decided to perform "Colder Weather", while Kate went with "Anyone" because she wanted to stress being in the pop genre. She also felt that the song challenged her vocally.
Camila said that Kate was one of her favorite voices in the competition. She also noted the cracks in Jay's performance and appreciated Bryce's authenticity. John, meanwhile, called Bryce's voice warm and inviting and liked it despite the pitch issues. He then encouraged Blake to choose Kate as the winner. Blake, however, declared Bryce as the winner.
Both Camila and John tried to steal Kate. John said she was incredible and believed that she deserved to be in the Lives. Camila, meanwhile, claimed that she wanted to help produce something that powerful with her. Kate decided to join Team Camila.
