Yahoo Lifestyle Watch the Divine 'The Voice' Knockout Performance from Team Bublé's Divighn and Kaiya Hamilton
Night 2 of The Voice Season 27 Knockouts continues on Monday night when coaches Adam Levine, Michael Bublé, Kelsea Ballerini and John Legend will once again pair up two members of their team for a sing-off to determine who goes through to the Playoffs and who goes home.
What makes the Knockouts different from the Battles is that each artists selects their own song which lets both their coach and viewers know what direction they want their career to take.
The Voice released this early video of Team Bublé, which shows the pairing between Divighn and Kaiya Hamilton. Divighn performs Maroon 5's "Harder to Breathe" and Kaiya performs Alessia Cara's "Here."
“What a conundrum, Mr. Bublé,” John said after hearing the performances. “Divighn, this is a vocal competition. But I think it’s special, and we should honor performers who physically can do the things you can do. I think it was really compelling. And Kaiya, you just sang and sang your butt off. That song is not easy to sing. Michael, you could go either way.”

Then Adam, who is the lead singer for Maroon 5, weighed in.
“Divighn, you’ve got great taste in music, man,” he said. “I always secretly dread when people do our songs because it makes me nervous. I’m so close to it. I love what you did with it. You took it and you did something I actually liked with it. It wasn’t what I normally do. The fact that you can get up there and move the way you move, and still deliver a rock-solid big vocal, that’s big."
"Kaiya didn’t do one of my songs," he continued. "But I love this song, too, and I love how you sing. You kinda gave the opposite kind of clinic. You were like, ‘I’m not worried about anything except singing my butt off.' So I would probably go with Divighn because he has all these other things that were really impressive, but it’s no disrespect to you, Kaiya, because you did such an amazing job.”

Next, Kelsea gave her critique, saying, “Kaiya, you ebbed and flowed with it so much that I listened to the lyrics differently even than I do in the original. That is your artistry leaking through that. I felt that anyone who’s ever told you no, this was, ‘Yeah, this is for you.’"
"Divighn, it’s so crazy. I’ve never heard that song," she jokes. "Songs About Jane is one of my favorite records of all time, and I love that song. I think one of the things that Adam said, when people sing my own songs, it normally makes me shut down. That is the only way to do it. What you just did. You two are both incredible.”
Then it was time for their coach to give his opinion, which, in the end, is the only one that matters.
“Divighn, your performance, the choreography was beautiful and smooth and so fun to watch,” Michael said. “You are an all-around entertainer. Kaiya, your voice is undeniable. You sang the heck out of this. I felt like you know who you are as an artist, so thank you for bringing all that.”
Then Carson Daly announced, “Michael, you’ve got a tough decision here.”
To which Michael responded, “There’s no right decision. I made a mistake putting you together, and so, the winner of this Knockout is…”
