[ Cheers and applause ]
Yeah!
[ Cheers and applause continue ]
I have been moved. [ Laughter ]
I have been moved, as well.
Rachel, when you were hitting those high notes,
it was, like, really gorgeous. Thank you.
I find your vibrato so interesting.
It's such a part of your vocal personality.
Zae, I felt it.
And I loved the way you were doing your little step,
and it had like an energy
that felt very appropriate for the song.
I feel like you're showing
even more of who you are. Yeah.
I would side with Zae on this one.
Kelly: I'm gonna start with you, Rachel.
Your tone is incredible. I cannot believe you're 16.
It's outrageous. Thank you.
And your vibrato, like John said,
is really beautiful. It's very slow.
You just need to figure out where to breathe
to get a little bit more air.
Job well done. Thank you.
Hey, Zae!
You lose yourself in the song,
and I have never heard that song.
You seriously have never heard that song before? Wow.
Oh, shut up, cowboy. You don't know that song.
Blake listens to it... I can see him jamming to "Electric Love" in his truck.
...in the car every time he's on his way here,
He's always playing "Electric Love." Yeah. Back roads.
Back roads. Yeah, totally.
I thought it was incredible.
That's why I'm picking you this round. [ Chuckles ]
I'm interested in what Nick's gonna do here,
because on one hand, he has Zae,
who was, if my notes are correct here --
I keep notes. I've -- I write them down the whole time.
He calls them Blake's Notes. Yeah.
I'm just constantly -- It's his thing.
And I study 'em. It's his thing.
No one else has notes like Blake does.
Right. No one, yeah.
You were a four-chair turn, if I remember correctly,
I was. You kinda set the bar.
When you -- When that happens, it's like,
"Well, he better win."
One-button artist, which is what Rachel was.
When they excel like she is --
We're seeing this growth happen with you.
Every time you get up there, it's like,
"Oh, my God. Oh, my God." Thank you.
As a coach, I'm always interested in knowing
that I can effect change with an artist.
And I feel like, somehow, Nick, of all people,
is putting coaching into motion with you.
Thank you. And that's really cool.
Nick, give us some thoughts
before you tell us who won the knockout.
On one hand, Zae, you sang the best
I've ever heard you sing.
You know, you come ready for game time,
and you put on a show.
You've done it each performance.
On the other hand, Rachel, you're growing
exponentially every time we work together.
And it's why, I think, all of us love this job so much.
Nick, who is the winner of this knockout?
♪♪♪
[ Sighs deeply ]
This performance just made this decision
very, very difficult.
The winner of this knockout is...
Rachel.
[ Cheers and applause ] Daly: Well, there you have it.
Rachel Mac! Nick: I picked Rachel
because she's kind of a dark horse,
one-chair turn,
and here she is, going into the live shows.
I think she's one of the strongest vocalists we have,
and I know she can get even better.
Coaches, let me remind you that Zae's available to steal.
Zae, anything you want to say --
We got a steal!
Kelly Clarkson uses her one and only steal in the knockouts...
Texas! ...for Zae Romeo.
Kelly, why'd you want to use your steal on Zae?
That's a no-brainer. I turned for you in the blinds.
I loved you in the battles from home in my PJs.
Honestly, this show's called "The Voice,"
and your voice, like, gave me goosebumps
the entire performance.
Daly: Give it up. Kelly steals Zae Romeo.
Zae! We will be seeing you in the live playoffs,
this time, on Team Kelly. John: Yeah! I'm so excited.
All is good in the world. Congrats, Kelly.
