It was an action-packed round 2 of the knockouts on The Voice‘s Tuesday, October 25, episode. Miley Cyrus heard her childhood fave sing, Tim McGraw smelled great, Faith Hill took over for Blake Shelton, and Miley announced she’s a hillbilly. Phew!
1. Blake had Faith.
When Faith Hill had a few words of advice for Team Blake’s Bindi Liebowitz, Blake looked a bit worried that he was being replaced as coach. “I wish I knew what Faith was telling my artist,” he murmured to Tim McGraw. When Bindi asked Blake, “You want to say something?” Blake actually admitted defeat. “No, I’m leaving it like that,” he said sheepishly.
Faith then gave Courtney Harrell pointers on how to walk soulfully while she sang, calling it the “drunk arm” technique. So good. We’d be worried too, Blake.
2. Miley offered Courtney a job!
Even if Team Blake is keeping powerhouse singer Courtney for now, Miley might just recruit her to go on tour! As she said to Courtney, “You should never be singing behind anybody ever again, but if you do, you’re singing with me because I’ll take you on tour any day!”
Aw! So sweet, Miley.
3. Miley was a childhood fan.
When Team Adam Levine‘s Ponciano Seoane squared off against former child country star Billy Gilman, Miley was living her childhood dream! “Growing up, I listened to your music,” she told Billy, “so it’s very weird that I’m sitting here listening to you on the show.” Supercute. But not as cute as Blake trying to pronounce “Ponciano.”
4. The smell of Tim.
When contestant Christian Cuevas first spotted Tim McGraw, he confessed, “Oh, my God! I used to have your cologne, McGraw!”
And when Christian belted out his chosen song — “Superstar” by the Carpenters — Tim was sure it was his special smell that did the trick.
“That McGraw stuff works good for you,” Tim said. Well, Tim, we just hope Faith likes it.
5. Hillbilly Miley’s in love!
After Christian performed, Miley told him, “I was falling madly, deeply, in love with you!” Then a minute later, Adam ruined it by complaining about Blake: “I was once again interrupted by that hillbilly!” Miley shouted back, “Don’t talk about me like that!”
“I forgot there’s two of them now,” Adam said quietly.
We like a woman who stands up for her hillbilly-ness … right, Miley?
Tell Us: Which team impressed you the most? And did Adam deserve Miley’s “hillbilly” smackdown?
The Voice airs on NBC Mondays and Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET.
