The Knockouts concluded tonight for Season 29 of The Voice: Battle of Champions with coaches Kelly Clarkson, Adam Levine and John Legend deciding which of their paired teammates will make it through to the semifinals and which one went home.

What differentiates the Knockouts from the Battles is they aren’t duets. Each artist sings solo and rather than a song that their coach selected for them, they have the chance to select their own song. The other difference is that there are no Steals or Saves this season.

Then, The Voice All-Star Showdown began, in which all-stars represent their former coaches as they battle in head-to-head sing-offs. The coach with the most sing-off wins is guaranteed a second finalist in the finale. For this special contest, coaches call upon original Voice coach CeeLo Green to sit in on the competition and determine the winner of each All-Star Showdown. CeeLo also served as Mega Mentor for the Knockouts for Team Adam and Team Legend, while Michael Bublé assisted Team Kelly.

Here's our spoiler-filled recap of who went home on The Voice Season 29 tonight, plus what happened during the first "All-Star Showdown" of the season.

What happened on the "All-Star Showdown" on The Voice tonight?

The first-ever All-Star Showdown will have three rounds: Adam vs Kelly, Kelly vs John, and John vs Adam.

Representing Team Adam will be Javier Colón (Season 1 winner) and Jordan Smith (Season 9 winner); for Team Kelly, it will be Jake Hoot (Season 17 winner) and Girl Named Tom (Season 21 winner); and for Team Legend, it ill be Maelyn Jarmon (Season 16 winner) and Renzo (Season 27).

Each artist will perform a song that they previously sang on The Voice and the winners were decided by CeeLo Green, who promised to call it like he sees it.

All-Star Showdown Round 1: Girl Named Tom from Team Kelly vs Renzo from Team Legend

Girl Named Tom song: “Dust in the Wind” by KansasRenzo song: “Dream On” by Aerosmith

Champion: A Girl Named Tom

CeeLo said: “Renzo, you showed great heart. I wish there could be more of you. I wish you could be duplicated and multiplied. Girl Named Tom, you remind me of a time in music that’s almost erased from our memory. The three-part harmony – Crosby, Stills & Nash – that wholesome folk sound of the ‘60s. It’s so beautiful and nostalgic. What you do with the three-part harmony is so necessary and you did a wonderful performance. Renzo, when I see you, I see my reflection. When I see Girl Named Tom, I see my resolve because it’s peaceful and tranquil and I loved it. I appreciate art. I can’t say anything less than impressed for both of you guys.”

All-Star Showdown Round 2: Maelyn Jarmonfrom Team Legend vs Jordan Smith from Team Adam

Maelyn song: “Fields of Gold” by StingJordan song: “Chandelier” by Sia

Champion: Maelyn Jarmon

CeeLo said: “It is such an honor to be in the presence of what God has done for you both. This might be a kooky comparison, but it reminds of Star Wars, the bar scene where all the animals were making music. We are all that different, that unique, individualistic and idiosyncratic, one-of-one work of art. Music is a means of communication, so thank you both for being spirit animals to us all. Jordan is a great vocalist. He’s unmistakable, but I ultimately chose Maelyn because she touched me. She moved my soul. I can appreciate her poise, her voice control, her charisma. She projected as if she was singing in front of 100,000 people.”

All-Star Showdown Round 3: Jake Hoot from Team Kelly vs Javier Colónfrom Team Adam

Javier song: “Time After Time” by Cyndi LauperJake song: “Desperado” by Eagles

Champion: Jake Hoot

CeeLo said: “I enjoyed myself. Javier, you were that revelation that we all had. It was an iconic moment, and you have an iconic voice. It’s a timeless voice. Then, this charming cowboy comes out and kills it. I am surprisingly impressed with you. I am totally blown away.”

Who won The Voice All-Star Showdown?Kelly Clarkson

As Jake Hoot and Girl Named Tom both won their showdowns, Kelly made a clean sweep of the "All-Star Showdown." As a result, she will get two of her singers in the finale, as opposed to just one, doubling her chances of becoming the winning coach this season.
