The Voice continued its eighth-season "Knockout Round," advancing four artists to the next phase of the competition, during Tuesday night's broadcast on NBC.

In each Knockout, the two artists competing choose their own song. This round shows America and the coaches what type of artist they are or would like to be. Every artist also receives personal attention from his or her coach as well as the universal mentor Nate Ruess.
Adam, Blake, Christina and Pharrell are each allowed only one "Steal" during the Knockouts. At this point in the season, both Pharrell and Christina had a "Steal" left.
Blake paired Cody Wickline, who sang "Til My Last Day," against Corey Kent White with "Live Like You Were Dying." Although Corey had the cards stacked against him because Cody was previously a four-chair turnaround in the "Blind Auditions," Corey ended up winning the Knockout with his passionate performance.
Adam matched up Blaze Johnson, who performed "You Found Me," with Deanna Johnson, who took the stage with "Listen to Your Heart." Adam said Deanna never performed as well onstage as she does during rehearsals. However, he advanced Deanna because of her great potential, which gives Adam a lot to work with.
Pharrell opted to have Caitlin Caporale face off against Hannah Kirby. Caitlin sang "Warrior" and Hannah sang "Higher Love." Pharrell declared Caitlin the winner, but then Blake stole Hannah for his team. Hannah had previously been a member of Blake's team during the "Battle Round," so she was thrilled.
The Knockouts will continue next week and Christina is now the only coach left with a "Steal." She is waiting for an extraordinary artist who blows her away.
