Kelly Clarkson chooses Ali over Marcos

Ali was the first to enter the knockout round. And she impressed the judges with his unique notes, singing 'Best Part' Marcos, on the other hand, sang 'Jesus, Take the Wheel,' claiming that this song made him feel like he had a strong relationship with God, even though he was told that he was not worthy of that relationship because he was LGBTQIA+. After each person's performance, it seemed like Ali was the clear winner of the episode.

Blake said Ali had special notes in her voice, but on the other hand, the judge believed Marcos had "too many runs" before choosing Ali. Niall also thought Marcos was in "too much control." Chance the Rapper accepted that Ali is a great singer, but he thought the singer was a bit shaky at the beginning. Kelly agreed with the other jury members and claimed that Marcos had "pitchy moments." In fact, Kelly chose Ali and eliminated Marcos from the knockout round.

Another replied, "@kellyclarkson #TheVoice disappointed in the performance from Marcos." After Marcos's elimination, a fan tweeted, "I hate to say it, but Marcos didn't deserve to stay."
