The Voice has officially kicked off the Knockout Round, with six artists advancing to the Top 9 after the first night of competition. During this phase, coaches paired up the members of their six-person teams, and each artist sang a song of their choice while their teammate watched. The coaches did not have Saves or Steals during this round, making the decisions harder than ever. The March 30 episode featured four members of each team competing for a spot in the Top 9, and next week the remaining two members will have their Knockout. The show will also feature a special In-Season All-Star Competition on April 6, with six beloved former Voice artists battling in head-to-head sing-offs.
