John enjoyed their performance and felt that Kique added a new take to the song. Blake also felt that Kique’s different voice "lights him up" amongst the other competitors. Camila said Kique's performance was "clean." Finally, Gwen chose Kique over Tanner for the knockouts.

Sasha Hurtado and Devix sang Electric Feel and impressed Charlie. Gwen was impressed by Devix's performance and John said he found his voice "very interesting." Camilla praised Sasha for learning a new song but chose Devix because of his confidence.

Gwen stole Sasha from Camila before she wanted to give her more time to grow as an artist.

Kevin Hawkins and Killary Torchiana were asked to perform on John Legend’s Preach. Blake asked the singers not to hit too-high notes and reminded them that John would judge him during the performance. John liked their performance and thanked them for their passion while singing the song.
