'The Voice' advances 'Knockout' winners Billy Gilman, Courtney Harrell, Christian Cuevas and stolen artist Belle Jewel Lyon

The Voice coaches advanced four artists as "The Knockout Rounds" continued during Tuesday night's Season 11 broadcast on NBC.


Part 2 of "The Knockout Rounds" kicked off Tuesday night with Adam Levine, Miley Cyrus, Alicia Keys and Blake Shelton pairing off members of their teams to duke it out for one spot in each matchup.

The contestants were each allowed to sing a solo -- a song of their own choosing -- in the hope of outperforming their opponent and advancing to "The Live Playoffs."

The artists who won their Knockouts were Courtney Harrell, Billy Gilman and Christian Cuevas.

During this round, each coach is allowed only one steal for his or her team. An artist can only be stolen by another coach after losing his or her respective faceoff.


The one lucky artist who was stolen in last night's episode was Belle Jewel Lyon.

All the contestants were guided and assisted by The Voice's new key advisers Faith Hill and Tim McGraw.

For the first matchup, Blake paired Courtney with Bindi Liebowitz. Courtney, a songwriter and backup singer who has worked with iconic artists such as Beyonce and Jennifer Hudson, performed Tina Turner's "River Deep Mountain High."

Bindi, who seemed to enter the Knockout as the underdog, belted out "Son Of A Preacher Man."

Courtney brought Blake to his feet, and the coach told her that it was like "a volcano underneath the ground" that erupted into an "explosion on the stage" when she performed. Blake therefore chose to advance Courtney to the next round.


Next up was Billy against Ponciano Seoane for "Team Adam." Billy sang "Fight Song" by Rachel Platten to represent the highs and lows of his music career, and Ponciano took the stage with "I See Fire" by Ed Sheeran.

Adam told the cameras before the Knockout that if Ponciano could win the faceoff, he could win The Voice's eleventh season. Adam said smart choices and artistic decisions could make or break these artists in this round.

After the Knockout, Adam told Ponciano it was the best he's ever heard him sing. Adam then complimented Billy on his "perseverance" and "ability to emote."

Adam said he admired Billy. After sharing his thoughts and expressing pride in both men, Adam chose to keep Billy on his team, saying he could definitely win The Voice.

In the final Knockout of the night, Belle Jewel faced off against Christian on behalf of Alicia's team. Belle sang a creative version of "Don't Dream It's Over," while Christian belted out "Superstar."


Alicia told the singers they had really "delivered" their songs. Alicia told Belle that she was given a gift on the day she was born and loves her mixture of vocal styles. Christian, on the other hand, respected the song and had to work really hard for it to turn out successful.

In the end, Alicia picked Christian as the winner of the Knockout. However, Miley had her eye on Belle Jewel from the beginning because of her awesome style -- fashion and bangs included -- so the coach stole her.
