After the emotional Battle rounds, “The Voice” coaches Adam Levine, Miley Cyrus, Alicia Keys and Blake Shelton each has eight artists representing their teams for the Knockout rounds.

According to Keys, the Knockouts are more difficult than the Battle rounds.
“The artists pick their own songs. If they don’t sing the right songs, they could go home,” she said.
“The Knockouts are tough because you’re showing basically who you are and coaches are cutting our teams by half again. Now is the time for everyone to step it up,” Levine added.
“This round, we only have one steal so I have to be very selective on who I want to bring into my team,” Cyrus pointed out.
“The Voice” airs every Monday and Tuesday night in the US on NBC. Newbie coach Miley Cyrus will be skipping the next season as former coach Gwen Stefanie returns to the reality show. (Read: Miley Cyrus sits out as Gwen Stefani returns on ‘The Voice’ Season 12)
