The Knockouts continued on The Voice Monday night (Nov. 13), and the talent shocked the coaches. The first group to take the stage consisted of Team Legend members DeeJay Young, Stee and Lila Forde. The singers impressed coach Legend and Mega Mentor Wynonna Judd in the rehearsals, but there was one singer in particular that knocked Judd off her feet.
Forde's earnest rendition of James Taylor's "Fire and Rain" came between Jones and Stee's show-stopping performances, and it brought Judd to another place. The country legend also shared that Forde is an artist she would personally love to listen to.
"I need your voice in my life," Judd told Forde after her rehearsal. "I got my eyes closed. I'm sitting on my porch, which is one of my favorite things to do, and you would be what I play."
Forde impressed during the Knockouts as well. She allowed her soft voice to lilt along with the classic melody, and she added some unique runs of her own.
Jones and Stee gave also star-worthy performances. Reba McEntire said Jones' performance of "Breakin' My Heart (Pretty Brown Eyes)" was "dope." Gwen Stefani and Niall Horan also proclaimed their love for Stee after his rendition of Maxwell's "Pretty Wings."
When it came to Forde, Horan had a similar comment to Judd's.
"Lila, I couldn't be a bigger fan of you if I tried," he said. "I've already bought your record and you haven't even signed with anyone. Everything that you've put your hand to has just been perfection."
In the end, Coach Legend chose to keep Forde on his team, as he realized she would surely be stolen by another coach if he let her go.
"All the coaches are salivating over Lila. Everybody wants to hear a Lila record," he said. "She's so musical, so artistic, so creative. She needs to keep going in this competition."
To finish out the segment, Stee was stolen by Stefani.
The Voice airs Monday and Tuesday nights on NBC.
