‘The Voice’ Knockouts 2022: Blake Shelton STEALS Rowan Grace, fans claim it was ‘much deserved’
UNIVERSAL CITY, CALIFORNIA: Another breathtaking knockout battle captivated the audience as Gwen Stefani pitted Kique, Rowan Grace and Destiny Leigh against each other. While Destiny chose to sing Christina Aguilera’s ‘Impossible’, which Gwen thought was a challenging song for the singer, Rowan picked ‘Vienna’ by Billy Joel. On the other hand, Kique wanted to perform a version of ‘Hey Ya’ by Outkast, much to Gwen's concern.
The knockout battle kicked off with Kique’s performance, impressing all the coaches with what he did with the song. His performance swayed John Legend and Blake Shelton, while Camila Cabello expressed that she would pick Kique the winner. Kique was followed by Destiny, who managed to mesmerize Camila with her performance. John, too, enjoyed Destiny’s singing but thought the vocals "could have been better." The battle ended with Rowan’s deep and husky cover of ‘Vienna’ labelled “vocal quality haunting” by John. But the clear winner of the show was Kique, as Gwen crowned him the knockout hero. However, those rooting for Rowan were given a last-minute surprise as Blake decided to use his "steal" button for the budding singer.
