‘The Voice’ recap: Michael Bublé hits ‘Mic Drop’ for performer that has Snoop saying ‘a star is born’

‘The Voice’ Recap: Michael Bublé Drops the Mic

In the latest episode of The Voice Season 28, three artists were eliminated as contestants competed for a place in the Playoffs. The Knockouts aired on November 3, featuring teams led by Michael Bublé, Snoop Dogg, Niall Horan, and Reba McEntire.

Knockout Round Highlights

During this stage, "mega mentors" Joe Walsh and Zac Brown joined rehearsals to guide performers. Coaches arranged the pairings, while the participants selected their own songs. Unlike earlier rounds, there were no steal or save options—only one singer from each duo could move forward. A new feature, the “Mic Drop” button, allowed each coach to nominate one standout artist to perform at the Rose Parade, based on audience votes.

Team Snoop Performances

Natalia — performed “I Wish” by Stevie Wonder.
Toni — performed “Lady Marmalade” by LaBelle.

Mentor Advice

Zac Brown to Natalia: “If you do 15 percent fewer runs, it makes it more special when you do them. You've got all the tools—just don’t use them all at once.”

Zac Brown to Toni: “Do your homework. Be completely familiar with your song so you’re not focused on the mechanics. Let your voice take over.”

Coach Feedback

Reba McEntire: “Natalia, your performance was spectacular. Toni, golly, your range was incredible.”
