Knockout Round 1: Austyns Stancil of Team Snoop vs. Christina Eagle and Jake Tankersley

Austyns: Luther Vandross‘ ‘Dancing With My Father’
Christina Kartal: Maren Morris‘ ‘My Church’
Jake Tankersley: Luke Combs‘ “He’s Going, He’s Going, He’s Gone.”

Winner: Austyns Stancil

Snoop said: “Austyns was a winner based on her spirit, her personality, and how she pulled herself together through all that pain and all that loss to give us a great performance. Once the emotion hits you, you can’t stop the emotion. Tears start to flow, this is real music, this is real singing. “Imagine what it would give me if I sang a song that had nothing to do with someone’s loss.”

Later, Christina Rescued from Snoop and Reba Stole it from Michael and Gwen. He chose to stay with Team Snoop.

Stealing: Christina Eagle

Snoop said: “Christina Eagle is a superstar. I think America would be happy to have her on my team because it’s unpredictable. You went from one chair (Snoop was the only one returning in the Blinds) to four chairs. That’s how big you’ve become. She had my Save from the moment she walked on stage. One of them.” I knew I could pick and save one.

Then Jake got Steals from Reba and Gwen.

Steal: Jake Tankersley

Gwen said: “What I like about Jake is that he feels genuine about everything you like in a country singer. But also someone who would take such a risk and choose me over Reba, maybe it was meant to be and I could do great things with her.

Knockout Round 2: Team Reba’s Adam Bohanan vs. Cassidy Lee and Jaukeem Fortson

Man: Black Cougars “Colors”
Cassidy: Bonnie Raitt“Love Me Like a Man”
Jaukeem: King and Country “Only God Knows”

Winner: Adam Bohanan

Reba said: “Adam is a force of nature. He’s a great guitar player. “He has a great attitude, then he opens his mouth and it’s an amazing sound.”

Stealing: Jaukeem Fortson

Michael said: “I played Jaukeem because when I was a kid, people saw the potential in me and loved me enough to give me that chance. I love being able to do that for people. I think he deserved it today.”

Elimination Round 3: Team Gwen vs. Camryn Brooks, Deon Jones, and Jose Luis

Camryn: P!nk“Glitter in the Air”
Deon Jones: Tina Turner“Nutbush City Limits”
José: Ariana Grande‘We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)’

Winner: Jose Luis

Gwen said: “I had to go with Jose Luis because he’s undeniable. He sounds like one of those singers: “How are you, are you for real? You’re so calm, you’re emotional.” “I just want to see what he does next.”

Knockout 4: Team Bublé’s Cameron Wright vs Sloane Simon (Note: Michael only has two artists because Tanner Frick left Sound after rehearsals)

Cameron: Marvin Gaye and Tammy Terrell’s “All I Need to Reach is You”
Sloane Simon: Olivia Rodrigo“Catch Me Now”

Winning: cameron wright

Michael said: “I chose Cameron because his vocal performances were professional. Name of this show Sound and I didn’t think it would be fair for them not to have a forward-facing seat.”

Save: Sloane Simon

Michael said: “I chose Sloane because she is a star in the making. She has a really sweet voice. I think it is capable of handling different genres. I love being able to be a small part of this.
