AceShowbiz - "The Voice" returned with a new episode on Tuesday, November 7. The new episode, however, featured coach Niall Horan missing the Knockout rehearsals due to his concert schedule. The British star tapped season 25 coaches to help him prepare his team prior to the second night of three-way Knockouts.
Replacing Niall was Dan + Shay, who is set to join Reba McEntire, John Legend and Chance the Rapper as the coaches in the upcoming season. The new outing, meanwhile, picked up what was left from last night's episode with Mara choosing to join Team Niall.
Later, AZAN, Olivia Minogue and Nini Iris from Team Niall took the stage for another three-way Knockout. AZAN belted out "Caught Up in the Rapture" by Anita Baker. Olivia opted to sing "Bring Me to Life" by Evanescence, while Nini Iris sang "Karma Police" by Radiohead.
John Legend thought AZAN's performance was "intelligent." Niall, meanwhile, loved Nini's raspy, bold vocals. It was hard for Niall to pick only one winner, but he decided to keep Nini in the competition.
Later, Tanner Massey, Chechi Sarai and RUDI from Team Gwen Stefani faced each other in the next Knockout. Tanner performed "In My Blood" by Shawn Mendes. RUDI sang "Smokin' Out the Window" by Silk Sonic, while Chechi opted for "Never Can Say Goodbye" by The Jackson 5.
John praised Chechi for her "insane" voice and loved RUDI's stage act that he called "authentic and cool." Niall, meanwhile, said that he would choose Tanner as he could see Tanner's growth. After much deliberation, Gwen named Tanner as the winner. She saved RUDI, but John and Reba tried to steal her. RUDI eventually stayed on Team Gwen.
