The Knockout Rounds are officially over on “The Voice” and coach Blake Shelton waited until the last possible moment to use his one and only steal.
Jershika Maple of Team Legend (previously of Team Kelly before she lost to Jeremy Rosado in the Battle Rounds) blew the coaches away with her performance of “Inseparable” by Natalie Cole. Legend, Kelly Clarkson, and Ariana Grande were all on their feet as she sang. Paris Winningham then showed a whole new side of himself with an incredibly soulful rendition of “Tennessee Whiskey” by Chris Stapleton.
After both singers had performed, Clarkson said, “I can’t actually sit down cause it’s disrespectful.” She joked that Legend was “screwed” because he had to pick between Jershika and Paris. Both she and Grande expressed regret that they didn’t have a steal left to use. Alas, only Shelton had saved his steal for a moment like this.
Watch both the incredible performances below:
Who Did Legend Choose?
It was one of the hardest decisions of the season choosing between Jershika and Paris. “Can’t we change the rules of this show just once?” Grande joked. Legend complimented Paris on taking mega mentor Ed Sheeran’s advice to strip down the song’s arrangement and let his voice be the star. He told Jershika her performance was “a masterclass in using the different elements of your voice.”
Despite loving both performances, Legend declared Jershika the winner of the knockout. True to form, Shelton waited until Paris had thanked the coaches for the opportunity and hugged Legend before hitting his steal button. And with that, Paris Winningham has joined Team Blake.
“It’s perfect that Paris ended up on my team, he sang a country song,” Shelton said.
