The Season 28 Knockouts continued on November 17 with a new round of head-to-head battles across Teams Michael Bublé, Snoop Dogg, and Reba McEntire, marking another intense night in The Voice Knockouts. “Mega mentors” Joe Walsh and Zac Brown joined rehearsals to help the artists refine their performances as the coaches finalized their Playoff lineups.
With no steals or saves in this phase, the Knockouts round pushed each singer to deliver a standout moment. The new Mic Drop button also gave coaches a chance to spotlight one artist for the Rose Parade, based on America’s vote.
Earlier in The Voice Knockouts, Michael Bublé dropped the mic for 14-year-old Max Chambers after his powerful take on “Don’t You Worry ’Bout a Thing.” In Part 3, Niall Horan selected trio DEK of Hearts for their harmonies on “What If I Never Get Over You.”
This Part 4 recap continues that momentum as The Voice competition narrows its Season 28 Playoff teams. Read on for our breakdown of The Voice Season 28 Knockouts, Part 4, as aired Monday, November 17 on NBC.
