At this stage in the competition, the coaches only have one steal to claim that special artist for the live playoffs. Coaches utilized a new method of coaching by working with one artist at a time, and the other artist in the matchups watched their knockout opponent. Some moved on to the upcoming live performance, while others left the competition. To see who the coaches kept, dropped and stole, read on! Note: best performances/matchups marked with a *.
