-I can't actually sit down, 'cause it's disrespectful.
He is so capital-S Screwed right now.
You are both so good.
I mean, Jershika, I know, because you're from my team,
I know how gifted you are. -I still love you.
-But oh, my God, that run.
I will go to sleep going -- [Imitates run].
It was the coolest Jershika moment.
-Thank you.
-Paris, you just did, like, such a great job,
and you took off your glasses.
[ Applause ]
I was like, Oh, my God.
It was like --
It was like, sexy, cool.
Here's the thing -- Jershika's my girl,
so I have to pick Jershika, but I'm just saying,
either one is magical, and I'm so mad I don't have a Steal.
-♪ Me too! ♪ -Yeah.
-Thank you. Thank you.
-I, too, thought it was sexy, Paris.
Holy cow, man.
You know, this is Chris Stapleton,
and you just brought a different kind of personality to the song.
You killed it. You really did. -Mm-hmm.
-And then Jershika, you know, I -- [Laughs]
I can't believe Kelly --
I don't know what Kelly was doing.
-I have a really great team! -Yeah, I know, but I mean,
we're talking about Jershika right now.
-Ahh!
-Everybody makes mistakes.
-I kind of felt like Jershika may come out here
and pour a little more salt in the wound,
and you did, and I love you for it.
I love you doing that.
-I am drained, emotionally.
Those performances were so next-level incredible.
Jershika, you ability to make everyone in the room
feel what you're feeling at the same time is special.
-Thank you.
-Paris, I started welling up while you were singing,
'cause of your ability to storytell and move everybody.
I have no idea what I would do here at all.
Can we change the rules of the show just this once?
You've got a pull.
-This is my show. -Come on!
-Thank you, coaches!
Alright, John, give us some thoughts on the Knockout.
-You all made this a dilemma,
because you are just A+ level performers.
Paris, Ed Sheeran suggested to strip the arrangement down
and let your voice be the star,
and it was.
You were able to whisper at the beginning of the song,
and it was beautiful.
[ Applause ]
And Jershika, master class
in using the different elements of your voice.
You are an amazingly gifted singer.
-Killed it, queen.
-And it's not fair that I have to only choose one.
-Are you stalling? -No.
Yes, perhaps.
-Well, John, this seems like a near-impossible decision,
but who is the winner of this Knockout?
♪♪
-The winner of this Knockout...
is Jershika.
-Jershika Maple!
That means you're moving on to the Live Playoffs
for Team Legend!
-You're amazing.
Jershika and Paris -- oh.
It was painful for me, but I had to pick Jershika.
She deserves to go far in this show.
I could see her making it all the way to the finale.
-Ahhh! [ Laughs ]
I'm going to Lives!
-Coaches, let me remind you
that Paris is available to steal.
Paris, anything you want to say to coach?
-Truly a blessing and an honor to be here.
I thank every last one of y'all for your input.
-Great job, Paris!
-Give it up one more time for Paris Winningham,
ladies and gentlemen!
-That was impossible. I'm sorry I had to.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Wait! Don't move!
-Yeah! -That's the sound of a steal!
From Blake Shelton! -Yes, Blake!
-And he got stolen! Yeah!
-Blake steals Paris Winningham! -I had to be dramatic!
-[ Laughing ]
-It's perfect that Paris ended up on my team.
He sang a country song, for God's sakes,
and moving forward,
I want to keep finding songs for him
that allow him to have that kind of personality on the stage.
