Last night on THE VOICE was the Knockout Rounds. Below are the artists that won their Knockout, were Saved by their coach, or were Stolen by another coach.
The Knockouts continue tomorrow night on THE VOICE, Tuesday, October 30 (8/7c) on NBC.
The "Knockout Round" continues with coaches Kelly Clarkson, Jennifer Hudson, Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, and the key advisor that they have enlisted to mentor their teams through this round of the competition. The artists will be paired against a teammate once more, but this time they will each select their own song to perform individually, while their direct competitor watches and waits. Each coach will have the opportunity to save one of their artists, so the artist not selected will be available to be stolen by another coach and potentially saved by their own coach, leading to even tougher decisions for the coaches and the artists. Carson Daly ("TODAY Show") hosts.
