The Knockout Rounds on “The Voice” 2026 came to an end tonight on NBC. With the Knockouts, “The Voice” season 29 coaches — Kelly Clarkson, Adam Levine, and John Legend — had no say in what these artists were singing. Despite only a few Knockouts tonight, the coaches definitely struggled to pick the winners of these matchups. The artists were giving it their all to remain in this competition, but who had the best performances of the night on “The Voice” tonight? Check out our picks and their Knockout Round videos below in our “The Voice” spoilers.
KJ Willis – Team Legend
For KJ, he’s singing “I’ll Make Love to You” by Boyz II Men. John said he loves it, as this is our generation, and connecting it to his generation. John said it felt like he was reciting it and not feeling the lyrics.
From that note from John to this performance, KJ listened, and he listened well. KJ was feeling those lyrics. He hit some huge notes. He was singin’ on this one, and it was so, so good.
John said they are quite different singers. They both did well in their lane. KJ gave his best performance of the competition today.
Jared Shoemaker – Team Adam
For Jared, he is singing “Modern Day Bonnie and Clyde” by Travis Tritt. A great song choice, and kind of looks like Travis Tritt!
This guy has been impressing me. His Voice Battles performance was stellar. I thought he had a great audition, but then he knocked it out of the park for the Battles. He kept it going tonight, as this song was perfect for his voice, and he sounded great.
Kelly said she loves both of their voices. John said he loves the tone of Jared’s voice. Adam said Jared knows who he wants to be as an artist.
Mikenley Brown – Team Kelly
For Mikenley, she sings “Pink Pony Club” by Chappell Roan. She said she relates to this song and felt like an outsider. Kelly said she was locked in, rehearsed everything, and was ready.
Her voice has a different tone to it. It works so well on this song choice. She sounds really good. I think this is a popular song, so she was good at picking it for that. She did a very good job.
Kelly said no one is like Mikenley. She goes to these places that not many artists go, which sets her apart. John said he loves Mikenley’s song, and she took some liberties with the melody.
Who was your favorite Knockout Round performance tonight on “The Voice” season 29?
