Episode 12 of ‘The Voice’ season 21 saw three rounds of battles during the knockouts. From Team Ariana, we saw Ryleigh Plank going against David Vogel, whereas, John Legend brought Samuel Harness and Brittany Bee for the epic showdown. From Team Kelly, the sister duo aptly called The Cunningham Sisters went for a face-off with Hailey Mia.

Hailey Mia was the first one to hit the stage from Kelly Clarkson’s team. She performed her rendition of ‘Arcade’, a hit single by singer-songwriter Duncan Laurence. The Cunningham Sisters that consist of siblings Macie and Marie Cunningham decided to show their skills on the cover of ‘Oceans: (Where Feet Mail Fail)’ by Hillsong United. The rest of the coaches namely Ariana Grande, John Legend, and Blake Shelton seemed mesmerized by both the contestants but the final call by Kelly left the social media users upset.

After enjoying their fan moments with the mega mentor Ed Sheeran backstage, both the contestants gave their best shot on the stage with an intention to grab a spot in the Live playoffs. Speaking on their performance, Blake Shelton asserted, “This is the cutest little thing I have ever seen.” Speaking to the sister duo, he added, “You guys have been favorites of mine since you came onto the show. I don’t know if you know about that or care about that but you have a lot about you and it’s really incredible.” However, he later leaned towards Hailey Mia.

John Legend too praised The Cunningham Sisters, saying, “I love hearing The Cunningham Sisters harmonize together, it is so nice.” Ariana and Kelly too praised the sister duo but the majority of them leaned towards Hailey Mia.
