The Knockout Rounds on “The Voice” 2026 kicked off tonight on NBC. This time around on “The Voice” season 29, the coaches had no say in what these artists were singing. The coaches — Kelly Clarkson, Adam Levine, and John Legend — definitely struggled to pick the winners of tonight’s 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.
1. Alexia Jayy – Team Kelly
She is bringing that look tonight. She looks beautiful and fierce for this performance. Her voice starts so strong and pulls you in right away. Alexia just hits all the notes, and her range is crazy. I love the tone of her voice.
2. Syd Millevoi
During rehearsals, I was worried. It just sounded off to me. However, her performance comes out, and she nails it. She has such vocals. That grit she gets with some notes is amazing. She has such a great range and can hit huge notes.
3. JW Griffin
He is definitely a strong country singer. His voice just screams country. This song is a perfect choice for him, as it seems bluesy, but has that country twang in there. This was a very solid performance on “The Voice” season 29.
4. Liv Ciara – Team Kelly
Liv is up first, and they slowed this song down. She definitely hits those big notes along the way. It is crazy to think she is just 16 years old. Such a powerhouse voice. And that note towards the end? Insane!
5. Lucas West – Team Legend
You think Moses nails it, then Lucas comes out, and his voice is so good. It has a different tone and sound to it, but he makes it work. He hits those big notes and is having a good time up there. Lucas is definitely a strong vocalist.
It was an interesting night. The coaches had a hard time picking the winners of this round. The Knockouts seem to bring out the closer matchups, as the coaches seem to pair them up based on who they are. For now, we wait until next week on performances and who your favorite will be?
