The Voice Season 27 showcased its Knockouts in Episodes 10 and 11, which aired on April 7, 2025. Contestants engaged in thrilling duels, each vying for a coveted spot in the Playoffs. One standout during this exciting round was Britton Moore, a 21-year-old talent from San Antonio, whose captivating performance left all four Coaches profoundly impressed.
Notably, Coach John Legend praised Moore’s unique style and impeccable vocal execution, summarizing his reaction with the following commentary:
“It was like pitch-perfect, but also you made some really great stylistic choices.”
Moore, representing Team Adam, emerged victorious in his matchup, while fellow competitor Ari Camille managed to avoid elimination thanks to a timely Steal from Coach Legend. Throughout the episodes, several contestants faced elimination, while others advanced or were rescued by rival Coaches.
Unpacking Britton Moore’s Remarkable Performance
Brittton Moore had an impressive start in The Voice competition, kickstarting his journey with a four-chair turn during his Blind Audition where he performed Coldplay’s “Yellow.” During the Knockouts, he surprised everyone by switching genres, delivering a heartfelt rendition of “Free” by the Zac Brown Band—an unexpected turn given his pop background.
This choice showcased not just his vocal range, but also his remarkable control over his voice, earning him accolades from the Coaches. Michael Bublé, speaking during the April 7 episode, noted:
“There’s this youthful beauty and this clear gorgeous tone.”
Coach Kelsea Ballerini observed that Moore’s tone was so precise that it seemed almost “self Auto-Tuned.” Legend humorously remarked that Moore seemed “God-o-tuned.” Ultimately, Adam Levine decided to advance Moore to the Playoffs, telling him:
“You just sing the living crap out of everything you sing.”
Throughout the competition, Moore has consistently demonstrated his vocal abilities. His earlier performances included “Yellow” during the Blind Auditions and Radiohead’s “Creep” in the Battles, where he showcased a striking falsetto range that earned applause from the panel. Commenting on his Battle performance, Bublé noted:
“You hit that top note!”
Complementing this, Legend praised,
“Your voice is so connected and powerful. That high note was stunning.”
Contestants Eliminated in the Knockouts
Alongside Britton Moore’s victory, the Knockouts saw several contestants’ journeys come to an end on April 7, 2025:
- Team Bublé: Divighn performed Maroon 5’s “Harder To Breathe” but ultimately lost to Kaiya Hamilton. Despite receiving positive feedback from all Coaches, including Adam Levine, Divighn was eliminated.
- Team Legend: Bryson Battle secured his place in the next round with a strong performance, while Tatum Scott, who sang “Stick Season,” was eliminated.
- Team Kelsea: Alanna Lynise triumphed in her round to advance to the Playoffs, whereas Page Mackenzie was sent home.
- Team Adam: In addition to Britton Moore’s victory, Ari Camille lost her Knockout but was quickly stolen by John Legend, who saw her potential and seized the opportunity. Host Carson Daly confirmed her steal, prompting Legend to exclaim, “Let’s go.” Kelsea Ballerini expressed her gratitude for Camille’s continuation in the competition by saying, “Thank God!”
Ari Camille, who originally began the season on Team Legend, has now returned for the Playoffs under his mentorship. This notable move was one of the highlights of the night, ensuring that both contestants from this Knockout round remained in the competition for the next phase.
In an interview with NBC Insider prior to the airing, Michael Bublé shared his thoughts on the transformative impact of The Voice, stating:
“My favorite part about it was when I had to let people go for the first time, I was upset about it. Until I realized that their lives had changed.”
Bublé emphasized that even contestants who do not advance far still gain invaluable exposure, with many of them building sustainable careers and experiencing significant growth in their social media presence after appearing on a show that attracts an audience ranging from 7 to 11 million viewers.
