Todd Tilghman (age 41) from Mississippi performs Travis Tritt’s “Anymore” against Cam Spinks from Alabama singing Lee Brice’s “Rumor” during The Knockouts round on The Voice 2020 (Season 18).
John Legend did not pick a winner but his comments tended to favor Pastor Todd Tilghman for letting him feel in the Spirit, saying Todd must have the same effect on the folks in church. Nick Jonas said Todd brought them to Church with his performance but he also thinks Cam will be a massive star someday and volunteered to write songs for him. However, Nick picked Todd as the winner of the Knockout. Kelly Clarkson said Cam does not give his voice enough credit to have room in a song while Todd was praised for his song selection.
Coach Blake Shelton said that Cam was a bit ahead of Todd in the rehearsal but then Todd found a way to be better in the Knockout compared to his rehearsal. Blake picked Todd Tilghman as the winner, based on his current performance in the Knockout.

Judges’ Comments:
John Legend said Cam had a lovely voice but had a few pitch problems. As to Todd, John commented, “I was imagining being at your church. I was thinking about how effective you must be in getting the folks in church in the Spirit. And I felt it!”
Nick Jonas said that Todd and his Dad, who was also a pastor, have similar voices. “It’s very powerful and you certainly brought us to church with that performance,” he said. As to Cam, Nick said he’s a big fan and loves his vibe. Nick thinks he will be a massive star and would be happy to write songs for him at some point in time. But Nick picked Pastor Todd as the winner of the Knockout.
Kelly Clarkson thinks Cam has something really cool about his voice. She said, “For me personally, I don’t feel like you give your voice enough credit to have room in a song. I just think to have a little more space for you.” For Todd, Kelly said, “I’ll say points on song selection.”
Coach Blake Shelton said, “Cam, in our rehearsal, you had your foot on the gas just a little bit more, where, on the flip side, Todd came out here, and he found a way to push the gas just a little bit more than he did in the rehearsal… He’s literally an animal that feeds off of energy. Right now he’s trying not to smile, ’cause he’s just a happy guy. It’s amazing.” Blake picked Todd Tilghman as the winner of the knockout.
