Who Went Home and Who Made It Through Night 2 on 'The Voice' Season 25 Knockouts

Zoe Levert

The Knockouts continued for a second night on Season 25 of The Voice with coaches John Legend, Chance the Rapper, Dan + Shay and Reba McEntire pairing up their teams for sing-offs which determine which artist goes through to the Playoffs and which one goes home.

The Knockouts are different from the Battles in that they are not duets. Rather, each of the artists makes their own song choice, which gives America a chance to see who they hope to be as a performer.

This year, the Mega Mentor is country icon Keith Urban who will be working with the coaches and the artists on the songs that they've chosen to prepare for their performances, but it will be up to the individual coaches as to who goes through to the Playoffs. There are no Saves in this round, but there are Steals.

So far, Dan + Shay stole country artist Tae Lewis from Team Reba – and they had to fight to do it because both John and Chance also hit their Steal buttons for Tae. Then, Chance used his Steal to acquire Kyle Schuesler from Team Dan + Shay later in the show.

Karen Waldrup: “Georgia Rain” by Trisha Yearwood

Winner: Karen Waldrup

Dan said: “Karen and Ducote, our country pairing, both really brought the heat. I think Karen edged it out a little bit. She was just super dynamic in her performance; super precise. Karen is a superstar. She’s so good. She can sing any song we throw her way. She really wants to be a country singer through and through and she’s going to crush it on this show.”

Shay said: “She has so much potential.”

Zeya Rae: “River” by Bishop Briggs

Winner: Justin & Jeremy Garcia

Battle Round 5: Team Chance's Alyssa Crosby vs RLETTO

Alyssa Crosby: “I Guess That’s Why They Call it the Blues” by Elton John

RLETTO: “Stay” by The Kid LAROI (with Justin Bieber)

Winner: RLETTO

Chance said: “A decision like this is really difficult. Alyssa grew so much but I had to go with RLETTO. He’s a world-class talent. My favorite part about RLETTO is his ability to improvise and make any performance and any song sound like a brand-new song.”

Battle Round 6: Team Legend’s Zoe Levert vs Jackie Romeo

Zoe Levert: “Cowboy Take Me Away” by The Chicks

Jackie Romeo: “Love on the Brain” by Rihanna

Winner: Zoe Levert

Steal: Jackie Romeo

Reba said: “Jackie could sing country. Jackie could sing anything she wants because she’s that strong of a singer. I’m excited to get to work with her on the Playoffs.”
