So the 4-way knockout:

Samantha Howell

Michael Williams

Nelson Cade III

Todd Michael Hall

Who are y'all betting on?

Pleasantly surprised that he picked Darious. He earned that win for sure!

Finally a great battle to close off the night.

I'm leaning Darious here honestly, but both should go through.

WHAT?! I thought Nelson was in his 40s

Contestant ages have thrown me for a loop this season.

like what?

He sounds kinda like Alfonso Ribiero and I don't remember his speaking voice being like that lol

Did Nelson always speak like that...

I thought the spoilers just said he messed up at the beginning. He could've just missed the intro and quickly recovered. We'll just have to wait and see but unless he had a major flub, I can't see how Mandi would beat him

Thunderstorm's song doesn't strike me as a good choice, and we already know John struggles with contestants singing his own songs, so John probably had multiple reasons to choose Mandi over him. In general, Thunderstorm's definitely the stronger vocalist and I don't think Mandi's choice is particularly strong either, but I think it's too early to automatically declare Thunderstorm the winner.

Or Boy George! He stormed offstage when a contestant said something he didn’t like. 

Yeah but he's just dramatic, not helpful. That one was his bad for misunderstanding what Daniel was saying.

geez john being brutal 

We need a coach in the US version that's as brutal as Jessie J was on the Australian version. Badly.

honestly if they montage any good battles next week, it would be so dumb. could have montaged this, levi v jamal, kailey v cam 

Well there's 8 battles left for the final week so something's getting montaged for sure.

Well that was definitely... two people performing.

Because he forgot the words to a John Legend song? That seems to be a death sentence for John.

Hands down if you screw up the lyrics to your performance - you don't deserve the win (unless you do something else absolutely groundbreaking during the performance).

I do love Posty but I didn't like either of their auditions.

Hoping Tate in particular can change my opinion of him tonight since I think Nick wants to take him far.

Didn’t Blake tell us Kailey was going to win the show?

That carries us much weight as Kelly saying that she loves/adores a certain contestant.

Well that sucks.

Joei/Kailey should've been a pairing.

Joei/Kailey should've been a pairing.

Joei/Kailey should've been a pairing.

Joei/Kailey should've been a pairing.

Joei/Kailey should've been a pairing.

It's mainly a style thing. She sounds generic to me. 

Fair. I loved her female take on that song and it sounded really different to me. To each their own. 

Also the song choices tonight are embarrassing throughout lol.

Didn't imagine Lizzo would be the strongest choice of the night.

I don't know this song but it doesn't sound good at all.

She sounded awful even in Spanish tbh 

I personally thought she had one of the strongest auditions from John's team, just behind Thunderstorm and Zan lol.

Take a listen again because she's far from not deserving a chair turn  

Kailey had one of the best auditions of the season and I have no memory of Cam's audition even though they were the same episode.

I think they're both really good, Mandi moreso than CammWess - but that battle was just okay. Mandi had some really nice little runs but nothing about it was special. It's 100% the song choice that screwed them over.

Mandi should've just auditioned in English so we could've avoided this tragedy and she could've gotten a better song/coach. 

Although I'm 100% convinced she would've gotten the same song on Team Kelly or Blake even if she had sung in English.

This song is awful and shame on John for picking it just because Mandi speaks Spanish lol.

Atrocious.

Audience spread  sitting 6 ft. apart. in the stands. No mosh pit fans by stage. Gonna look awkward

"Win a ticket to The Voice"

-the only ticket available-

They're still tryna get us to win tickets to a live show with COVID huh...

Micah was better, Gigi was a bit pitchy.

I detest this song and Señorita equally so it's not exactly a fun hour for me lol.
