Kelly Clarkson fought tooth and nail to get Kinsey Rose and Gymani on her team. So, when she decided to pit these two powerhouse performers against each other for the knockouts round on 'The Voice', it definitely came as a huge surprise to everybody. Right from her auditions round, Kinsey caught both Kelly and Blake Shelton's attention with her soulful voice as she belted out her favorite country music songs.

On the other hand, Gymani left Ariana Grande starstruck when she performed one of Ariana's songs for her auditions and got a chair turn from her, but instead decided to join Team Kelly. For the knockouts round, Gymani picked 'Pillow Talk' as her song, while Kinsey chose 'Strawberry Wine'. Both the performers impressed Kelly and mega-mentor Ed Sheeran during their rehearsals. So, it was anybody's game during their final performance during the knockouts round.
