How Will Gwen Stefani Pick Between ‘My Girls’? Watch Powerhouse ‘The Voice’ Knockout Before It Airs
Season 26 of The Voice is heating up, and on Tuesday night’s (Nov. 12) episode, Gwen Stefani‘s team members Felsmere, Gabrielle Zabosky and Kay Sibal put on three powerful performances during the Knockouts that make the choice of a winner nearly impossible for their coach.
In the Knockouts showdown premiering exclusively on Billboard below, Felsmere is up first, and the 33-year-old Floridian shows off her impressively raspy vocal range with Dusty Springfield’s 1969 classic “Son of a Preacher Man.” Twenty-five-year-old Zabosky follows with an emotion-evoking, vocal-run-filled rendition of Miley Cyrus’ introspective single “Used to Be Young.” Sibal finishes off the Knockout face-off with a stripped-down cover of Ariana Grande’s “One Last Time,” featuring the Filipino-American Los Angeles native on the piano before she turns up the tempo at the end.

Fellow coaches Michael Bublé and Reba McEntire choose Zabosky as their personal favorite, while Stefani, of course, gives a standing ovation to all three of her “girls.”
“Felsmere, you have the full package. I wanted to get the quirkiness out of the song, that ironic part of the lyric and the power of that, right? I really have to tell you: I think this was your best time doing it, right here in front of the whole of America,” Stefani tells the contestants. “Gabrielle, you were so vulnerable in those lyrics. You were just way down in here [gestures toward her heart] because you knew you were going to go way over here later [holds her hand over her head]. I thought it was perfect. Oh my gosh, little Kay. I know you want to be this little girl with this huge voice, but what impresses me is that vulnerable part of you. That’s my favorite part of Kay, and I loved working with you so much.”
