AceShowbiz - The Knockout Rounds continued in the Monday, November 13 episode of "The Voice" season 24. Wynonna Judd helped the coaches, Reba McEntire, Niall Horan, John Legend and Gwen Stefani, prepare the singers for the three-way Knockouts, though Niall had to skip the rehearsal once again due to conflicting schedule with his tour. Season 25 coach Dan + Shay took over the duty for him.
The first Knockout was between Team John's Lila Forde, Stee and Deejay Young. Deejay opted to sing "Breakin My Heart (Pretty Brown Eyes)" by Mint Condition, showcasing his falsetto. Lila, meanwhile, belted out "Fire & Rain" by James Taylor, with Stee singing "Pretty Wings" by Maxwell.
Reba dubbed Deejay a "powerhouse," but she would pick Lila for singing the "crap out of" "Fire and Rain". Niall, meanwhile, leaned toward Stee. As for Gwen, she loved Stee's song choice and stage presence. John noted that the trio did a great job choosing their own songs, but eventually named Lila as the winner. Thankfully for Stee, Gwen stole him. Deejay was eliminated.
Later, BIAS, Jason Arcilla and Jenna Marquis from Team Gwen hit the stage for the next Knockout. Montage saw BIAS winning the Knockout after singing "You Should Probably Leave" by Chris Stapleton. Jason and Jenna, who performed "Complicated" by Avril Lavigne, were sent home.
Following it up were Team Niall's Huntley, Claudia B. and Noah Spencer. Claudia chose "Don't Know Why" by Norah Jones for her performance. As for Huntley, he picked "Wanted Dead or Alive" by Bon Jovi, while Noah hit the stage to sing "Where Rainbows Never Die" by The SteelDrivers.
While she praised Claudia for her individuality, Reba said that she would pick Noah. John, meanwhile, raved over Claudia's full artistry. It wasn't an easy decision for Niall to make as he said that it was the best Knockout he's seen on the show. At the end, Niall made Huntley the winner. He saved Claudia, but John hit his steal button for her as well. Claudia chose to stay on Niall's team. Later, John and Reba tried to steal Noah, who picked Reba.
Team Reba's Ruby Leigh, Ms. Monet and Rachele Nguyens performed next. Ms. Monet hoped to impress the coaches by singing "Best of My Love" by Emotions. Ruby followed it up with a rendition of "Blue" by Leann Rimes, while Rachele sang "Die from a Broken Heart" by Maddie & Tae.
Niall thought Ms. Monet was a "bada**," and Gwen felt captivated by Ms. Monet. John, meanwhile, was totally impressed by Rachelle and Ruby who were so talented despite their young ages. Reba eventually chose to keep Ruby, while Ms. Monet and Rachele were eliminated. Niall noted that he wanted to steal Ms. Monet, but he couldn't because he had used his steal.
The final Knockout that night were between Kara Tenae, Kristen Brown and CORii from Team Gwen. CORii sang "Ain't It Fun" by Paramore. Kara opted for "Leave (Get Out)" by JoJo, while Kristen hoped her performance of "This One's for the Girls" by Martina McBride would send her to the next round.
John didn't think Kara's choice of song was great for her, and noted that she lost control at the end of the song. Reba, meanwhile, loved CORii's song choice and would pick CORii. Gwen, meanwhile, appreciated how CORii listened to her. She also praised Kara for her swag and attitude. Her final decision saw Kara being the winner of the Knockout. John stole Kristen, while CORii was eliminated.
