The Voice: What happened during the Knockoffs part 4?

The pressure intensified on Monday, November 17, 2025, as The Voice Season 28 Knockouts, Part 4, aired on NBC, bringing the competition closer to finalizing the all-important Playoff teams. Coaches Michael Bublé, Snoop Dogg, and Reba McEntire watched as their remaining artists delivered their final solo performances, with "mega mentors" Joe Walsh and Zac Brown on hand to impart wisdom during rehearsals. Unlike previous rounds, there were no steals or saves available, meaning only one artist could advance from each head-to-head battle.

The night also included the ongoing Mic Drop challenge, where The Voice coaches could spotlight one artist based on America's vote for a coveted spot in the Rose Parade, a feature already utilized by Michael Bublé for 14-year-old Max Chambers and Niall Horan for the trio DEK of Hearts. With the Playoff lineup on the line, the artists left everything on the stage, resulting in a series of emotionally charged and stylistically contrasting performances.

The Voice: The different teams’ performances explored

The night began with an emotional high point as Team Reba’s Aaron Nichols and Cori Kennedy went head-to-head on The Voice. Rock legend Joe Walsh urged Aaron to be fully present and advised Cori to nail the final note with quicker delivery. The coaches were universally impressed: Michael Bublé praised Cori’s "power" and Aaron’s "effortless grit," while Niall Horan compared Cori to Stevie Nicks and projected CMA-level success for Aaron. Reba ultimately had to choose between Cori, whom she called a "powerhouse," and Aaron, who performed "like a seasoned pro."

Team Snoop presented a clash of styles between Carolina Rodriguez and Mindy Miller. Working with Zac Brown, Carolina was advised to save her highest note for maximum impact on her Adele cover of “Lovesong,” while Mindy was coached to practice "less is more" with her vocal runs on “In Color.” The judges were captivated by the contrast: Reba thought Carolina’s delivery had a "James Bond moment" feel and appreciated Mindy’s authenticity. Snoop Dogg called Carolina "amazing" for her age and admitted Mindy "touched his heart."

The final knockout of the evening on The Voice, and perhaps one of the strongest overall, pitted Team Bublé’s Jazz McKenzie ("Cruisin’") against Teo Ramdel ("It’s My Life"). Zac Brown guided Jazz to work on diaphragm breathing for her long runs and encouraged Teo to "own the moment" to find his confidence. The coaches’ praise was effusive. Snoop Dogg declared Teo delivered "superstar stuff," but Niall Horan went further, calling Jazz “arguably the best singer in the show.” Michael Bublé closed the commentary by saying Jazz "radiates God’s light." The performances showcased two compelling yet different approaches, making it a truly tough decision for their coach.
