During another night of powerful performances on November 17, 2025, the Knockouts continued on season 28 of “The Voice.” Below you’ll find videos of each featured artist during week four of the Knockouts, including the latest “Mic Drop” recipient, and details on who’s moving on to the Playoffs.
‘The Voice’ Knockouts: Cori Kennedy vs. Aaron Nichols
The night started with two of Reba McEntire’s country artists duking it out onstage — rural Minnesota’s Cori Kennedy and Aaron Nichols of Bakersfield, California. Nichols kicked things off playing his electric guitar on a rousing rendition of The Band of Heathens’ “Hurricane.”
During rehearsals, Kennedy told McEntire and Mega Mentor Joe Walsh of the Eagles that she’d never played with a full band backing her until making it onto “The Voice.” So she decided to take advantage of the opportunity by breaking out of her country wheelhouse to do a rock version of Lady Gaga’s “You and I.”
The coaches loved both artists’ performances, but McEntire decided to move forward with “Aaron Cold as an Icicle Nichols,” as Snoop Dogg nicknamed him due to his vocal “control” and “grit.” McEntire called Kennedy a “powerhouse,” but said Nichols’ years of performing in Nashville had paid off in his onstage presence.
He even received McEntire’s coveted “Mic Drop,” which means he’ll be one of four artists (one from each team) that viewers will vote on to determine which singer will get to perform during the Rose Bowl Parade on New Year’s Day.
‘The Voice’ Knockouts: Carolina Rodriguez vs. Mindy Miller
Nineteen-year-old Carolina Rodriguez had her first mentoring session with Snoop (and his Mega Mentor Zac Brown), since he stole her from coach Niall Horan during the Battles. For the Knockouts, the Miami native sang Adele’s version of The Cure’s “Love Song” because the song reminds her of her siblings, who’ve supported her dreams unconditionally.
Maryland’s Mindy Miller, 35, told Snoop and Brown that she decided to sing Jamey Johnson’s “In Color,” calling it “one of the finest pieces of storytelling in music.” Miller tearfully said she was dedicating her performance to her grandparents, who lived across the street from her as she was growing up and “taught me so much about music and life and love.”
Though Snoop told Rodriguez she was “amazing,” especially at her age, he decided to move forward with Miller, whom he said “touched my heart tonight, and that’s what music is supposed to do.”
‘The Voice’ Knockouts: Teo Ramdell vs. Jazz McKenzie
Michael Bublé brought Latin singer Teo Ramdell and soul singer Jazz McKenzie together for his latest Knockout. Ramdell decided not to sing in Spanish this time, opting for Bon Jovi’s “It’s My Life.” McKenzie, meanwhile, decided to sing Smokey Robinson’s “Cruisin.'”
Snoop told Ramdell that his singing and moves onstage was “superstar stuff.” Their coach told Ramdell he knew how hard he worked on the Bon Jovi song, but he chose to move ahead with McKenzie, whom he told, “God’s light radiates through you.”
The final round of the Knockouts airs on November 24 at 9 p.m. Eastern time.
