The Knockouts began tonight for Season 29 of The Voice: Battle of Champions with coaches Kelly Clarkson, Adam Levine and John Legend deciding which of their paired teammates will make it through to the semifinals and which one went home.
What differentiates the Knockouts from the Battles is they aren’t duets. Each artist sings solo and rather than a song that their coach selected for them, they have the chance to select their own song. The other difference is that there are no Steals or Saves during Knockouts this season.
This season’s Mega Mentor for the Knockouts was CeeLo Green for Team Adam and Team Legend, while Michael Bublé assisted Team Kelly.

John said: “At this point, everybody is so good that only talented artists are going to go home. It’s a conundrum making decisions when the competition is so good. Lucas had just enough of that extra umph to know that he belonged in the semi-finals.”
Knockout Round 2: Houston Kelly vs JW Griffin (3-chair turn) from Team Kelly
Houston song: “Love You Anyway” byLuke CombsJW song: “If It Hadn't Been For Love” by The SteelDrivers
Winner: JW Griffin
Kelly said: “Houston vs JW was really hard. JW was a little bit more comfortable even in the in-between moments when he wasn’t performing. It’s really tough this season because usually in the Knockouts, there’s a Save or a Steal. There’s nothing like that this season. It’s the name of the game. I get it.”

Adam said: “There are no Saves and No Steals and I don’t like that. I had to go with Alexia because she has one of the best voices I’ve ever heard in my life. Alexia has that rare ability to sing anything. I think she can win this competition.”

John said: “I am really loving the Knockouts. These ladies were so wonderful, but Syd is just so good. Watching someone who has that much skill, it’s a marvel. Only a few human beings in the world can do it. We should honor that, especially on a show called The Voice.”

Adam said: “Jeremy and Mike was really tough. They’re both great singers, but going into the Top 9, I just need to have the strongest team possible. Jeremy has an amazing voice that I feel still hasn’t reached its full potential on the show yet, so Jeremy was just ready right now.”
