-Oh, my God. -What?!
-Oh, my Lord. -Jonathan, Wendy, are you okay?
-Yeah. -Am I alive?
[ Laughter ]
Jonathan, thank you for letting us enjoy
that amazingly infectious interpretation.
I want your version. You sound unbelievable.
There's too much talent this season,
and it's really overwhelming.
Wendy, where do we begin, you know?
As you float in in your cloak yet again,
sporting this incredibly regal neckpiece.
How do you honor an Aretha Franklin song
and yet breathe so much new life into it?
You just absolutely blew it out of the water.
I think I would have to give it to Wendy,
but I love you both so much.
Wow, what a way to start the day.
[ Applause ] -Thank you. Oh, my God.
-Jonathan, it was full of heart and joy.
I love the a cappella thing you did at the beginning.
-Oh, yeah, that was so cool. -And it was so inviting.
Wendy, I love those little moments in your mixed voice.
-Yes. -The little subtleties.
When you're able to pull that off
and give us those amazing big notes,
it's just a tour de force.
[ Cheers and applause ] -Thank you.
-Jonathan, I loved the song.
It breathed such a great energy into the room,
and how you delivered it was so well done.
-Thank you so much.
-Ma'am. [ Laughter ]
You're one of those vocalists
that literally is the reason why I'm sitting here.
How you navigate, like -- Oh, said navigate.
Did it, yep. But how you... [ Laughter ]
You go where you feel like you should go
and it just happens to be the perfect spot.
I think you have to give it to Wendy. [ Chuckles ]
-Thank you, Coaches.
-Wendy, can you please hold some meet-and-greet passes
for Kelly and I for your tour?
[ Laughter ] Just let us know.
-Jonathan, when I paired you with Wendy, part of it was,
"Let's see what this guy's made of."
Man, you stepped out here,
I mean, that was incredible, man.
-Thank you. Thank you.
-Can't even imagine the offers
that are gonna come your way, Wendy.
I'm just so happy for you.
It's about damn time.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-You guys are all like kings and queens and empresses
and emperors of your worlds, so I just want you to know
that I really appreciate this moment in time.
-Well, that's nice of you to say that we're the emperors
and the -- yeah, but you're the one that has a voice
that's so important that you had to wear armor
around it. [ Laughter ]
-Must protect the instrument.
-Blake, the time has come.
Who is the winner of this knockout?
♪♪
-Oh.
Man, you made this tough for me,
but the winner of the knockout is Wendy.
-Wendy Moten moving on. [ Cheers and applause ]
-This is the tough part of the knockouts.
Give me a hug.
Jonathan -- he blew me away.
The only problem with that is Wendy blew the building away,
and I fully expect to see her in the finale.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-You got the contemporaries of today
saying that you've still got it.
It keeps me going.
-Coaches, let me remind you Jonathan is available to steal.
Jonathan, anything you want to say to your coach?
-Blake, you giving me the second chance
to even be here right now, so thank you.
-Give it up one more time for Jonathan Mouton,
ladies and gentlemen.
