The Knockouts continued on The Voice Season 28, airing Monday, November 3, with more powerhouse performances and tough decisions from Michael Bublé, Snoop Dogg, Niall Horan, and Reba McEntire. Joining as “mega mentors” this week were Joe Walsh and Zac Brown, helping artists refine their stagecraft before the final pre-live round.
In The Voice Season 28 Knockouts, coaches pair their team members to perform individual songs, but only one contestant moves on to the next round. This Knockout stage has always been a key part of The Voice competition because it lets each artist showcase their style, range, and personality.
Meanwhile, this season of The Voice 2025 introduced a brand-new twist called the “Mic Drop.” In this round, each coach chooses one of their Knockout winners for a special performance opportunity. As a result, viewers can enjoy some of the most exciting Voice performances of the season and vote for their favorites. The winning artist even earns a spot at the Rose Parade — a reward that adds extra excitement to this stage of the competition.
