Mindy Miller delivered an unforgettable performance of “In Color” by Jamey Johnson, leaving both the audience and coaches completely impressed. Her consistency and tone were highlighted by Niall, who praised her as “so solid, so consistent, and your tone is … so nice to listen to.” Fans immediately took to social media to celebrate her flawless execution.

While Mindy’s performance was polished and heartfelt, Carolina’s rendition of “Lovesong” (Adele version) brought a completely different energy. Reba described it as “very sensual and mysterious, like it was from a James Bond movie,” which stunned the audience and added a layer of intrigue to Team Snoop’s performances.

Zac offered detailed advice to both singers, helping Carolina build tension on her higher notes and encouraging Mindy to focus on fewer runs to make each one count. The coaches’ guidance clearly paid off, with Mindy executing her song with emotional depth and Carolina impressing with her jazz-influenced tones.

Every coach had high praise for both singers. Michael admitted he heard a new side of Carolina’s voice, noting a jazz influence, while Snoop told Mindy, “You touched my heart tonight and that’s what music is supposed to do.” The unanimous admiration highlighted Mindy’s ability to connect deeply with listeners.

Social media quickly exploded with positive reactions. Fans praised Mindy’s control, emotion, and stage presence, often calling her “Team Snoop’s hidden gem” and “the one to watch this season.” Carolina also received admiration for her bold stylistic choices, but many agreed Mindy’s performance stole the night.

The Season 28 Knockouts on The Voice continued Monday night with coaches Michael Bublé, Reba McEntire, Snoop Dogg, and Niall Horan selecting two of their teammates to duke it out in a sing-off, but the artists got to choose the song they will sing, giving America a chance to know who they are as performers. For the Knockout Rounds, there are no Saves or Steals so only the winning artist moves on to the Playoffs.

This season, Rock & Roll Hall of Famer and multi-Grammy Award-winning Joe Walsh and Grammy Award-winning multi-hyphenate Zac Brown are serving as the Mega Mentors. Brown, the frontman of Zac Brown Band, made his Voice debut when he joined Michael and Snoop to coach their teams, which left Walsh to join Niall and Reba to mentor their remaining artists.

To date, Aubrey Nicole (Team Reba), Ava Nat (Team Niall), Ralph Edwards (Team Snoop), Aiden Ross (Team Niall), Max Chambers (Team Bublé), Toni Lorene (Team Snoop), DEK of Hearts (Team Niall), Rob Cole (Team Bublé), Ryan Mitchell (Team Reba) and Trinity (Team Bublé have all won their Knockouts and are moving on to the Playoffs.

A new twist for the Knockouts is the “Mic Drop Button.” Each coach is given a button to use on an artist from their respective teams whose performance blows them away.  Then, viewers at home will have the opportunity to vote for the “Mic Drop” winner among the four. The Mic Drop artist with the most votes will be awarded a performance at The Rose Parade Presented by Honda, live on Jan. 1, 2026.  Michael was the first coach to use his “Mic Drop” Button and he awarded it to Max Chambers. Niall awarded his to DEK of Hearts, and tonight Reba bestowed hers on Aaron Nichols.
