Season 21 of NBC’s “The Voice” has been airing Knockout rounds for one week, and that means that each of the coaches has been working to narrow down their teams ahead of the live shows.
In some cases, that means pitting very talented contestants against one another and then having to choose between them, which was the case for Kelly Clarkson when she put The Cunningham Sisters up against Hailey Mia. Mia is just 13 years old, and the sisters in the duo are also young teenagers.
For her song, Hailey Mia performed Duncan Laurence’s “Arcade” and brought out her huge vocals. The Cunningham Sisters performed Hillsong United’s “Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)” for their Knockout round.
Watch the Knockout Round Performances
Each of the coaches were impressed with the performances. The girls got a standing ovation from both Ariana Grande and Kelly Clarkson before the coaches even gave any of their thoughts on the Knockout.
“This is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen,” Blake Shelton tells the contestants. “I’ll start with the Cunningham Sisters. You guys have been favorites of mine since you came onto the show… Hailey, holy crap, like, wow, you really dug down deep, and you gave a Knockout-worthy performance.”
He said he would pick Hailey Mia as the winner.
Grande was also very impressed.
“Hailey Mia, oh my God! What is happening?” Grande adds. “That was so, so stunning and so powerful. To see your growth, I am just astounded by what I just watched. And I’m obsessed with the three of you.”
John Legend also liked both performances and called Hailey Mia’s performance “compelling.”
Kelly Clarkson was emotional after the performances because it was hard to choose between the two different groups.
“And you’re all so gifted, and you’re so young, and you feel like such a jerk having to go, sorry, I pick the other one,” Clarkson said, hiding behind her hair. She nearly cried from having to pick between the two, as her voice broke and she had tears in her eyes.
She also could be seen nearly crying as the Cunningham Sisters said goodbye.
