‘The Voice’ kicked off its first night of knock-out rounds Oct. 28 by introducing a game-changing, but not-so-secret, weapon for each of the coaches: another steal! Each coach now has the chance to snatch one last singer from another team before the live rounds begin.
While The Voice‘s knock-out rounds offer the first opportunity for one-on-one coaching, they’re also a time during which each coach has to cut his or her team in half. Read on to see if your favorite contestants will be advancing to the live rounds!
Team Christina: Amber Nicole vs. Josh Logan
Amber Nicole sang Jessie J‘s “Mama knows best,” which she chose for the power, and she came blasting out of the vocal gates within the first few phrases. Josh Logan anted-up with Stevie Wonder‘s “Living for the city,” and he rocked it. “You did that song serious justice,” said Adam Levine,...

Welcome to a new week, "Voice" fans. It's time for the Knockout Rounds. Gone are the days of the Battle Round duets. Instead, each coach will pair up two singers who will each get to select their own song and sing one after the other, fighting for one spot on their team. Who will coaches Christina Aguilera, Adam Levine, Blake Shelton and CeeLo Green keep around and who's getting the boot? Let's find out.
Knockout #1: Team Christina's Amber Nicole vs. Josh Logan
Amber Nicole: "Mama Knows Best" (Jessie J)
Amber decided to take on Jessie's sassy kiss-off track because she felt like it was right in her wheelhouse and she's not wrong. She may be super young, but her performances thus far have revealed that this girl packs quite a punch. She commands the stage during her performance. It's such a theatrical song and she plays that up perfectly.

With all apologies to God, the Seventh Commandment just went the way of Crystal Pepsi, the personal pager and NBC’s Smash. I mean, seriously, who can enthusiastically support laws against larcenous behavior now that “The Steal” has found its way to The Voice‘s Knockout Rounds?
Now, before you cry “blasphemy!” let’s remember that Christina Aguilera has the voice of an angel — and she supports this blatant brand of thievery. And it’s also worth noting that The Steal has another proponent in Blake Shelton, a fine, upstanding fella whose recent crusade against the Westboro Hatemongering Association* puts...

The Voice's battle rounds wrapped up Tuesday night with a trio of commanding performances that show the competition is still any singer's game.
The evening kicked off on a patriotic note when coach Cee Lo Green paired military veterans Jonny Gray of Austin, Texas, and Shawn Smith of Utica, N.Y., on "Refugee" by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Green chose the song in part as a nod to their service – rocker Gray, 29, completed a tour of duty for the Air Force, while country singer Smith, 32, served in the Army and lost 80 percent of his hearing in his right...
