The Voice Knockoffs: Six Artists Secure Playoff Spots After Intense Battles

The latest episode of “The Voice” season 28 determined the next wave of artists advancing to the Playoffs. Part Two of the Knockouts aired on November 3, 2025, on NBC. Coaches Snoop Dogg, Michael Bublé, Reba McEntire, and Niall Horan faced difficult decisions.

With no Steals or Saves remaining, the stakes were incredibly high. Each head-to-head performance sent only one artist forward in the competition.

Team Snoop and Team Niall Make Critical Cuts

On Team Snoop, Natalia Albertini and Toni Lorene battled for a single spot. Lorene delivered a powerful rendition of “Lady Marmalade.” Albertini countered with a dynamic performance of Stevie Wonder’s “I Wish.”

The coaches were divided in their feedback. Snoop Dogg ultimately chose Toni Lorene, praising her undeniable confidence and stage presence.

Team Niall saw Aiden Ross and Liam Von Elbe compete. Ross performed Billie Eilish’s “when the party’s over” with haunting precision. Von Elbe answered with a robust take on The Fray’s “Over My Head (Cable Car).”

Niall Horan called Ross’s vocal a “masterclass.” He selected Aiden Ross to move on, calling him one of the strongest singers in the entire competition.

Bublé’s Mic Drop Moment Highlights Young Talent

The most dramatic moment came from Team Bublé. Fourteen-year-old Max Chambers faced 23-year-old Max Chamber III. Chambers performed Stevie Wonder’s “Don’t You Worry ‘Bout a Thing.” His performance left the coaching panel visibly stunned.

Michael Bublé chose Max Chambers as the winner of the Knockout. He then immediately nominated Chambers for the new “Mic Drop” Rose Parade performance opportunity. Bublé declared Chambers a potential winner and the youngest ever in the show’s history.

These results bring the total number of Playoff contestants to six. They join Aubrey Nicole, Ralph Edwards, and Sadie Dahl from the previous week’s matches.

The journey to the “The Voice” season 28 finale continues to intensify. The next round of Knockouts will reveal more contenders on November 10.
