Channing Wilson led in ratings, but Briana Adams was eliminated despite strong performances, as Billie Jo Jones advanced due to better audience connection.

On November 16, 2025, the second group of Top 9 contestants performed in Oklahoma City on *The Road*, each singing a cover and original song before Keith Urban and Blake Shelton. Channing Wilson earned the highest audience rating for his performances of “The Weatherman” and “Gettin’ Out of My Mind.” Billie Jo Jones delivered a powerful cover of “Broken Wing” despite illness, while Briana Adams faced mixed reactions for her bold choice of Dolly Parton’s “I Will Always Love You.” Adam Sanders and Britnee Kellogg also impressed, with Kellogg closing with a standout rendition of “Jolene” and her original “She’s Come a Long Way.” Though Channing led in ratings, the judges eliminated Briana Adams, citing stronger audience connection from Billie Jo Jones, who advanced to the next round.
