CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A Kannapolis native competing on Team Reba on NBC's "The Voice" took to the stage Monday for the Knockouts and is now advancing to the Playoff Rounds.
Josh Sanders originally made it onto Reba McEntire's team after performing a rendition of "Whiskey On You" by Nate Smith in the blind auditions. He made it through the battle rounds with a rendition of Luke Combs' "When It Rains It Pours."
McEntire ultimately chose Josh as the winner of that battle round, saying his vocal runs and high notes were "perfect."
On Monday's episode, Sanders and the other artists competed in the Knockouts, in which the coaches pair artists on their teams to perform solo songs against each other. A winner is selected from each pair of performances, and each coach gets one "steal" to claim a losing artist for their team.
After Josh went head to head with fellow team member Ashley, Reba picked Josh to advance after saying he could "sell a song."
Keith Urban is serving as the "Mega Mentor" for the Knockout Rounds this season and will help all the artists prepare for their performances.
Josh will go on to the Playoff Rounds.
