“The Voice” Knockouts roll on, and Sting and Jennifer Hudson continues as mega-mentors, dispensing wisdom gleaned from their respective careers.
This week’s episode looks to deliver another round of solo performances, with coaches Blake Shelton, Niall Horan, Gwen Stefani, and Reba McEntire forced to pick one winner from each trio of singers. The added twist? Each coach is still clinging to a single steal and a save, leaving room for a little gamesmanship (or, let’s be real, blatant favoritism). The stakes? For the singers, it’s survival. For viewers, it’s the hope of witnessing something vaguely resembling genuine artistry amid the manufactured drama.
The episode is likely to be a pivotal moment for the remaining hopefuls. Working with established artists like Sting and Hudson, assuming they provide actual mentorship and not just sound bites for the promo reel, could be a game-changer. And while “The Voice” has never been a bastion of originality, there’s always the chance a contestant might deliver a performance that transcends the usual karaoke vibes.
The Voice Season 26 Knockouts Part 3 air Monday, November 18, 2024 at 8/7c on NBC.
