00:06:29,556 --> 00:06:30,849
My name is Neil Salsich.
178
00:06:30,890 --> 00:06:33,518
I'm 34, and I'm from
St. Louis, Missouri.
179
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,729
Whoo! Whoo-hoo.
Oh, God.
180
00:06:35,770 --> 00:06:38,189
Your vibe is so cool,
man.
181
00:06:38,231 --> 00:06:39,315
It's like old-school country.
182
00:06:39,357 --> 00:06:40,859
Your falsetto
is incredible,
183
00:06:40,900 --> 00:06:44,070
but you also maintain this,
like, throaty, like, raspiness
184
00:06:44,112 --> 00:06:45,238
that's really cool.
185
00:06:45,280 --> 00:06:47,198
Just remember that "block" --
or Blake --
186
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:51,828
blockhead Blake stole the
opportunity away from us, okay?
187
00:06:51,870 --> 00:06:53,371
First of all,
there is no proof
188
00:06:53,413 --> 00:06:54,622
that I blocked her
whatsoever.
189
00:06:54,664 --> 00:06:55,749
There's proof.
Prove it.
190
00:06:55,790 --> 00:06:57,083
Do you want a liar
for a coach?
191
00:06:57,125 --> 00:06:58,251
This is a four-chair turn.
192
00:06:58,293 --> 00:06:59,544
It wasn't me.
Mnh-mnh.
193
00:06:59,586 --> 00:07:00,754
Wasn't me.
194
00:07:00,795 --> 00:07:02,589
I don't remember
doing it.
[ Laughs ]
195
00:07:02,630 --> 00:07:04,215
I mean,
that's a Hank Williams Sr. song,
196
00:07:04,257 --> 00:07:06,801
but I hear you kind of
doing a yodel thing,
197
00:07:06,843 --> 00:07:08,762
and it was incredible.
198
00:07:08,803 --> 00:07:10,430
Do you gig a lot
in -- in St. Louis?
Neil: Yeah.
199
00:07:10,472 --> 00:07:11,931
Yeah,
I'm a full-time musician.
200
00:07:11,973 --> 00:07:13,433
Do you do
a lot of country?
201
00:07:13,475 --> 00:07:16,978
Well, I sing blues, folk,
and rock and roll, you know?
202
00:07:17,020 --> 00:07:19,814
So, country is very special
to me,
203
00:07:19,856 --> 00:07:21,441
but I like to say that's just
204
00:07:21,483 --> 00:07:23,943
one of the musical wells
that I drink from.
205
00:07:23,985 --> 00:07:26,529
Oh!
I drink from a lot
of wells, too, man.
206
00:07:26,571 --> 00:07:28,448
[ Laughter ]
Lots of different ones.
207
00:07:28,490 --> 00:07:30,033
Y'all have so much in common.
[ Laughs ]
208
00:07:30,075 --> 00:07:35,830
I'd be honored for you
to be on the last Team Blake.
209

[ Cheers and applause ]
210
00:07:37,624 --> 00:07:39,668
I'm not very familiar
with country music,
211
00:07:39,709 --> 00:07:41,961
but the texture
of your voice, the tone,
212
00:07:42,003 --> 00:07:43,380
the -- the range
that you had,
213
00:07:43,421 --> 00:07:45,173
and also the runs
that you're doing,
214
00:07:45,215 --> 00:07:46,257
this could be interesting.
215
00:07:46,299 --> 00:07:47,967
It's TV.
Anything can happen.
216
00:07:48,009 --> 00:07:49,761
That's right.
Why not a rapper
and a country singer together?
217
00:07:49,803 --> 00:07:52,138
You know what I'm saying?
Neil: Yes!
100%.
218
00:07:52,180 --> 00:07:54,349
And it'd be really cool
if I stole the country off --
219
00:07:54,391 --> 00:07:55,892
like -- like -- it's like --
That wouldn't be cool.
220
00:07:55,934 --> 00:07:57,477
It's your thing.
It'd be cool.
221
00:07:57,519 --> 00:07:59,020
That is
the opposite of cool.
222
00:07:59,062 --> 00:08:01,314
This guy is the definition
of cool.
223
00:08:01,356 --> 00:08:03,650
I'm really cool.
We can make something happen.
224
00:08:03,692 --> 00:08:06,152
Oh, my God,
Chance is my favorite coach.
Neil: Alright!
225
00:08:06,194 --> 00:08:09,155
I'm not as cool as either
of them, to be honest with you,
226
00:08:09,197 --> 00:08:11,783
but I have that hat
and I have that shirt
227
00:08:11,825 --> 00:08:12,992
and I have the same name
as you.
228
00:08:13,034 --> 00:08:14,035
That's right.
229
00:08:14,077 --> 00:08:16,579
Is there
any Irish-Scottish in there?
230
00:08:16,621 --> 00:08:17,872
I'm sure
somewhere in my bloodline.
231

Job done.
[ Laughs ]
232
00:08:19,416 --> 00:08:21,960
When I was growing up,
Garth Brooks was big in Ireland,
233
00:08:22,002 --> 00:08:23,420
and that was it.
234
00:08:23,461 --> 00:08:26,047
I started coming to America
12, 13 years ago for work,
235
00:08:26,089 --> 00:08:27,757
spending time
across the South,
236
00:08:27,799 --> 00:08:30,885
gigging, going into bars,
hearing all these great singers.
237
00:08:30,927 --> 00:08:32,721
Straightaway
your voice perked up to me
238
00:08:32,762 --> 00:08:35,515
because I feel like
you're a seasoned veteran.
239
00:08:35,557 --> 00:08:39,019

a story at all.

You're all making
a great case.
243

Okay, since I have
no dog in the hunt
244
00:08:45,692 --> 00:08:47,527

that chance from us --

as your coach?

Neil's a really great singer.

that can do
all different kinds of genres.

He's somebody that's gonna
be a blast to have on my team
for the last time.

and country music,
how connected they are.

that we choose...

great success in this industry

00:19:24,497 --> 00:19:26,583
because they can create
new arrangements.

and it really makes it hard.
533
00:19:48,938 --> 00:19:51,900
I mean, we had 14 people
last season,
534
00:19:51,941 --> 00:19:54,486
and so every spot
truly does count.
535

That feels good.
536
00:19:56,738 --> 00:20:00,200
Blake: Chance absolutely
slayed me on Sorelle.

he's producing a record

gonna turn his chair.

To be on the last Team Blake
would be such an honor.

I'm Holly Brand.
551
00:20:31,981 --> 00:20:33,983
I'm 22 years old and
I'm from Meridian, Mississippi.
552
00:20:34,025 --> 00:20:37,028
The first big stage
that I ever got to sing on
553
00:20:37,070 --> 00:20:39,322
was when I got to open
for Blake Shelton.
554
00:20:39,364 --> 00:20:40,865
I was only 10.
555
00:20:40,907 --> 00:20:43,118
When "The Voice" first started,
we would have that,
556
00:20:43,159 --> 00:20:45,286
you know, "You got to
open for him.
557
00:20:45,328 --> 00:20:46,621
You didn't
say anything to him,
558
00:20:46,663 --> 00:20:48,623
but you were there with him,"
you know.
559
00:20:48,665 --> 00:20:51,793
So I actually brought
the photo with me.
560
00:20:51,835 --> 00:20:53,795
It's kind of funny
that he's so tall
561
00:20:53,837 --> 00:20:57,674
that the camera
couldn't get his entire body.
562
00:20:57,716 --> 00:21:00,677
Blake has changed my life
for the better, being there.
563
00:21:00,719 --> 00:21:02,470
That was when I had
that realization of,
564
00:21:02,512 --> 00:21:03,805
"I'm meant to be a performer."
565
00:21:03,847 --> 00:21:05,432
And then when I was 13,
566
00:21:05,473 --> 00:21:09,102
I became involved with
Miss America's Outstanding Teen.
567
00:21:09,144 --> 00:21:10,228
It was a pageant.
568
00:21:10,270 --> 00:21:11,980
It was really just another way
569
00:21:12,022 --> 00:21:14,983
to -- to be onstage
and to pursue music.
570
00:21:15,025 --> 00:21:17,652
And then I was
Miss Mississippi 2021
571
00:21:17,694 --> 00:21:21,781
and competed at Miss America
last year.
572
00:21:21,823 --> 00:21:23,742
Today I'm here to prove
a lot of things.
573
00:21:23,783 --> 00:21:27,078
You know, over my time
in the pageant industry,
574
00:21:27,120 --> 00:21:29,873
it has been a lot about, like,
what's on the outside.
575
00:21:29,914 --> 00:21:32,542
But today, it's not about
what I'm wearing,
576
00:21:32,584 --> 00:21:33,793
what my hair looks like.
577
00:21:33,835 --> 00:21:35,337
It's about what I sound like.

in the States over the years

all of you turning.

have to go with Kelly.

I love you.

Oh, my God.
I'm so excited.

00:26:22,332 --> 00:26:24,501
I got my first artist
on Team Kelly, and I'm ready.

Your voice is crazy.

Holly is incredible.

It was like very cool tone,

I am stoked to work with her.

Here you go.
Thank you.

Daly: Why did you pick Kelly?
You broke Niall's poor heart.
702
00:26:51,736 --> 00:26:53,530
You know, I've been
watching Kelly for years,
703
00:26:53,571 --> 00:26:56,908
and she does a lot of great work
with a lot of country artists.
704

I thought you had her.
So did I.

I've been heartbroken
a few times in my life.

It's almost like he's talking
in another language.

I mean,
he's a great kid and all.

I bet he's a sir
where he's from.

That's got a nice ring to it.

So awesome to have somebody
to talk to around here.

That kid's like a son to me.
754
00:28:46,184 --> 00:28:49,062
Tasha:
The reason I'm here is just
to show little girls in Pakistan
755
00:28:49,104 --> 00:28:52,148
that would look at the show
and be like, "She's Pakistani.
756
00:28:52,190 --> 00:28:53,274
Like, it's possible."
757
00:28:53,316 --> 00:28:54,818
My name is Tasha Jessen.
758
00:28:54,859 --> 00:28:57,987
I'm 20 years old,
originally from Pakistan.
759
00:28:58,029 --> 00:29:01,157
I now live in
Colorado Springs, Colorado.
760
00:29:01,199 --> 00:29:04,035
Growing up,
my parents were super musical.
761
00:29:04,077 --> 00:29:05,537
My whole family sings.
762
00:29:05,578 --> 00:29:07,997
But life was hard in Pakistan
763
00:29:08,039 --> 00:29:11,001
because Pakistan
is a Islamic country.
764
00:29:11,042 --> 00:29:14,879
And I was the one
Christian kid in school,
765
00:29:14,921 --> 00:29:17,507
and my mom was always
too scared to, like,
766
00:29:17,549 --> 00:29:19,551
let me go over
to somebody's house.
767
00:29:19,592 --> 00:29:21,511
I never went
to birthday parties.
768
00:29:21,553 --> 00:29:24,681
I, like, stuck out
like a sore thumb.
769
00:29:24,723 --> 00:29:27,726
When I was 12,
we had to flee the country
770
00:29:27,767 --> 00:29:32,188
because we were facing
religious persecution
771
00:29:32,230 --> 00:29:34,524
and moved to Thailand,
772
00:29:34,566 --> 00:29:38,528
leaving everything
that I had ever known behind.
773
00:29:38,570 --> 00:29:41,531
We had so much chaos
happening around us,
774
00:29:41,573 --> 00:29:43,616
and we forgot about music.
775
00:29:43,658 --> 00:29:48,455
But last year is when
I finally got my U.S. visa.
776
00:29:48,496 --> 00:29:50,206
So I'm currently
living in Colorado
777
00:29:50,248 --> 00:29:51,708
with my husband, Maverek.
778
00:29:51,750 --> 00:29:53,460
He's the lead guitarist
at our church,
779
00:29:53,501 --> 00:29:56,504
and so we love
playing music together.
780
00:29:56,546 --> 00:29:58,506
From the moment
that I met her,
781
00:29:58,548 --> 00:30:01,468
she was the best singer
I'd ever met.
782
00:30:01,509 --> 00:30:02,969
And so it's just
been amazing
783
00:30:03,011 --> 00:30:04,971
for her to land
in the United States
784
00:30:05,013 --> 00:30:07,432
and then immediately
just start pushing hard
785
00:30:07,474 --> 00:30:09,184
towards her dreams
and her goals.
786
00:30:09,225 --> 00:30:15,398
I am writing music, but I've
just always been so scared
787
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:16,900
to share it with the world
788
00:30:16,941 --> 00:30:19,569
because I've been
so scared of judgment.
789
00:30:19,611 --> 00:30:21,738
My family, unfortunately,
can't be here today
790
00:30:21,780 --> 00:30:23,823
due to some border issues.
791

Thank you, Star.
Bye.

a beautiful tone.
Thank you, Kelly!

the best entertainers

and keep going.

Here's the part where you
take up for me, son.
1044

Daly: Welcome back to night one
of the blind auditions.
1047
00:41:12,013 --> 00:41:13,807
I'll tell you the biggest
surprise for me
1048
00:41:13,848 --> 00:41:15,934
is that artist
that you --
1049
00:41:15,975 --> 00:41:17,394
Oh, you didn't get anybody
on your team.
1050
00:41:17,435 --> 00:41:19,145
That's right.
So soon to make that joke.
1051
00:41:19,187 --> 00:41:20,772
That's tough.
Niall: I don't really
want to talk about it.
1052
00:41:20,814 --> 00:41:23,108
That special someone
is out there for you, I believe.
1053
00:41:23,149 --> 00:41:24,109
Yeah.
Who?
1054
00:41:24,150 --> 00:41:25,485
Who's that?
That -- That first --
1055
00:41:25,527 --> 00:41:26,903
That first one
when they come.
1056

It's gonna come in
real hot.

I'm gonna --
I'm gonna get one,
1058

and then I'm just
gonna go on a roll.
1059

Hey, you know what
I did notice, though?
1060
00:41:32,283 --> 00:41:33,243
You like country.
1061

There's, like, this thing,
1062
00:41:34,452 --> 00:41:35,912
Irish people
and country music.
1063
00:41:35,954 --> 00:41:38,081
I'm excited to see
a country person on your team.
1064
00:41:38,123 --> 00:41:40,333
Maybe you could teach Kelly a
thing or two about country music
1065
00:41:40,375 --> 00:41:42,043
while you're on this show.
Or maybe you could teach Blake
1066
00:41:42,085 --> 00:41:44,629
how to press a button
when a country singer comes out.
1067
00:41:44,671 --> 00:41:46,006

Yeah.

Ross: This is outside
my comfort zone.
1071

I'm used to dingy bars
and honky-tonks

with bad sound systems
and a tip jar.

But here we are.
1074
00:42:00,687 --> 00:42:02,731
I'm Ross Clayton.
I'm 33 years old.

00:42:13,241 --> 00:42:14,826
Good morning, ladies.
1080
00:42:14,868 --> 00:42:16,786
It's spinach.
It's good for you.
1081
00:42:16,828 --> 00:42:21,750
We also have four dogs,
and so it is a full house.
1082
00:42:21,791 --> 00:42:23,418
Music first became serious
1083
00:42:23,460 --> 00:42:26,838
when I started doing little
coffee-shop gigs and open mics,
1084
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:30,008
and it just sort of
kept evolving.
1085
00:42:30,050 --> 00:42:32,969
I got out of school
and I was flying back and forth
1086
00:42:33,011 --> 00:42:35,513
between Oklahoma City
and Nashville,
1087
00:42:35,555 --> 00:42:37,599
and in that time,
Eleanor was born
1088
00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:39,184
and then my second daughter,
Eva.
1089
00:42:39,225 --> 00:42:42,937
So I was away from home
and sort of reevaluating things.
1090
00:42:42,979 --> 00:42:44,647
You know, is my time out here
1091
00:42:44,689 --> 00:42:48,693
worth as much as my time
with my kids?
1092
00:42:48,735 --> 00:42:49,861
And to me it wasn't.
1093
00:42:49,903 --> 00:42:53,490
So I gave it up and I went home.
1094
00:42:53,531 --> 00:42:59,788
My wife and my kids are
the most meaningful thing to me.
1095
00:42:59,829 --> 00:43:02,082
I wouldn't trade it
for the world.

Sorry.

Reorganizing this drop-down,
that'll be good, because...
1098
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:11,049
Currently I am
a senior product manager

for a software development
consulting company.
1100
00:43:13,927 --> 00:43:15,845
I think it's been
almost five years
1101
00:43:15,887 --> 00:43:18,223
since I've performed
really at all.
1102
00:43:18,264 --> 00:43:21,768
The kids are at a stage now
where there's more stability.
1103
00:43:21,810 --> 00:43:23,770
There's not as many diapers
to change,
1104
00:43:23,812 --> 00:43:26,398
and my wife just keeps
telling me, "Take a chance."

Hi, Dad!
Hi, Ross.

There's a lot
to take care of at home.

but I'm gonna do my best.

He's out there
giving it a shot."

understand.

My main thing with you,
1183
00:46:57,442 --> 00:47:00,153
because you already have
this huge, beautiful gift,
1184
00:47:00,195 --> 00:47:03,782
is to really pick songs
that showcase you emotionally,
1185
00:47:03,823 --> 00:47:05,116
because you already have
a lot of depth.
1186
00:47:05,158 --> 00:47:07,285
But if you show people
the vulnerable side,
1187
00:47:07,327 --> 00:47:09,954

that would be really rad.

00:54:36,776 --> 00:54:38,111
Whoa.
Oh, wow.
1361
00:54:38,153 --> 00:54:39,863
Yes.
Whoo!
1362
00:54:39,904 --> 00:54:41,531
I'm glad
none of them turned.
1363
00:54:41,573 --> 00:54:43,408
I don't have to pitch.
This is great.
1364
00:54:43,450 --> 00:54:44,909
By any chance,
do you write songs?
1365
00:54:44,951 --> 00:54:47,704
I love writing songs,
things that are emotional,
1366
00:54:47,746 --> 00:54:51,082
but I also love
soulful pop, R&B.
Yeah, can hear that.
1367
00:54:51,124 --> 00:54:53,335
You sang the first verse
of that really sweet,
1368
00:54:53,376 --> 00:54:56,921
then started belting but had
complete control over it.
1369
00:54:56,963 --> 00:54:58,757
Do you like singing, like,
rock stuff, as well?
1370
00:54:58,798 --> 00:55:01,509
Definitely.
I feel like
that's in your wheelhouse.
1371
00:55:01,551 --> 00:55:04,095
We are gonna do
magic things together.
1372
00:55:04,137 --> 00:55:06,431
I'm ready. I'm ready.
Let's do it.
Me and you, Michael.
Come on!

Chance: That was an amazing
performance, dude.
1375
00:55:09,726 --> 00:55:11,394
I felt the connection
from Niall.
1376
00:55:11,436 --> 00:55:12,771
Like, he was jamming out.
1377
00:55:12,812 --> 00:55:14,064
I think you're gonna do well
in this competition.
1378
00:55:14,105 --> 00:55:16,316
I'm excited to see
your song choices.
1379
00:55:16,358 --> 00:55:17,692
Thank you so much.
I appreciate it.
1380
00:55:17,734 --> 00:55:19,235
I thought the performance
was really good.
1381
00:55:19,277 --> 00:55:20,862
I was just waiting for you
to do a couple different things,
1382
00:55:20,904 --> 00:55:22,614
but you have
a really solid voice.
1383
00:55:22,655 --> 00:55:24,115
I'm so stoked for you, man.
That's so cool.
1384
00:55:24,157 --> 00:55:25,825
Congratulations.
Welcome to "The Voice," man.
1385
00:55:25,867 --> 00:55:27,452
Appreciate you.
Thank you.
1386
00:55:27,494 --> 00:55:30,330
Alright,
thank you guys so much.
1387
00:55:30,372 --> 00:55:32,290
Michael B., now, that's a voice.
1388
00:55:32,332 --> 00:55:33,792
Dude,
your voice is insane.
1389
00:55:33,833 --> 00:55:35,794
I feel like you can throw
any type of big song at him
1390
00:55:35,835 --> 00:55:37,420
and he'll be able to sing it.
1391
00:55:37,462 --> 00:55:39,756
Michael is gonna shock a lot
of people in this competition.

Blake, Kelly, Chance, you missed
out on a good one this time.
1394
00:55:45,845 --> 00:55:47,889
Earlier, I was having
an awful time.
1395
00:55:47,931 --> 00:55:50,433
But I am feeling
so good right now.
1396
00:55:50,475 --> 00:55:51,768
Missed you guys around there.
1397
00:55:51,810 --> 00:55:53,103
First time I've been out there
on my own.
1398
00:55:53,144 --> 00:55:54,437
It's awesome, though,
when that happens,

you're like, "Cool."

What is your name?
Where are you from?

We got to know
something about you.

Whoo!
D.Smooth.
1441
00:58:14,953 --> 00:58:19,082
I'm 25 years old and I'm
from Birmingham, Alabama.
1442
00:58:19,124 --> 00:58:20,834
I'm from a small town.
1443
00:58:20,875 --> 00:58:23,503
It's not the richest
of the rich.
1444
00:58:23,545 --> 00:58:27,382
I did grow up in
a poverty-stricken
type neighborhood.
1445
00:58:27,424 --> 00:58:32,095
It was a lot more opportunities
for me to fail, basically.
1446
00:58:32,137 --> 00:58:33,555
I feel like my mom, my dad,
1447
00:58:33,596 --> 00:58:36,766
they really done a great job
of keeping me whole.
1448
00:58:36,808 --> 00:58:39,477
My parents tried to do
their best to kind of shelter
1449
00:58:39,519 --> 00:58:44,024
me and my sister from a lot of
the dangers that surrounded me
1450
00:58:44,065 --> 00:58:48,695
and they allowed me
to be able to just soar.
1451
00:58:48,737 --> 00:58:50,155
I've had a lot of jobs.
1452
00:58:50,196 --> 00:58:53,867
I am a barber,
a personal trainer.
1453
00:58:53,908 --> 00:58:55,535
I was a delivery person,
1454
00:58:55,577 --> 00:58:57,370
but I felt like God
was telling me,
1455
00:58:57,412 --> 00:59:00,040
"It's time to focus
on what gifts I gave you."
1456
00:59:00,081 --> 00:59:02,208
I would go,
like, downtown Birmingham.
1457
00:59:02,250 --> 00:59:05,003
I would study these people
in the live music scene,
1458
00:59:05,045 --> 00:59:06,379
and I just wanted that
for my life.
1459
00:59:06,421 --> 00:59:09,257
So I took it upon myself
to go into open mics
1460
00:59:09,299 --> 00:59:11,009
and go put yourself out there.
1461
00:59:11,051 --> 00:59:12,802
Now that I do it full time,
1462
00:59:12,844 --> 00:59:15,513
I feel like I have a knack
for the art, for the craft.
1463
00:59:15,555 --> 00:59:18,808
So to work with one
of these coaches,
1464
00:59:18,850 --> 00:59:21,144
oh, my goodness, that'll just
put fuel on the fire,
1465
00:59:21,186 --> 00:59:23,271
especially coming
from where I come from.
1466
00:59:23,313 --> 00:59:26,232
We've had
very humble beginnings.
1467
00:59:26,274 --> 00:59:29,569
You always want the best
for your children.
1468
00:59:29,611 --> 00:59:32,405
And he's singing.
He's doing his thing.
1469
00:59:32,447 --> 00:59:36,409
So I'm glad that
it has landed him here.
1470
00:59:36,451 --> 00:59:39,037
Chance: D.Smooth, I got to tell
you straight out the gate,
1471
00:59:39,079 --> 00:59:40,580
you smashed that,
you powered through.
1472
00:59:40,622 --> 00:59:43,249
There was like maybe a second
at the very beginning
1473
00:59:43,291 --> 00:59:45,085
where there might have been
a little sour note.
1474
00:59:45,126 --> 00:59:46,753
But, like,
straight from after that,
1475
00:59:46,795 --> 00:59:48,171
you just had
so much control.
1476
00:59:48,213 --> 00:59:50,507
I told Kelly she needed
to turn around.
1477
00:59:50,548 --> 00:59:52,217
I loved the runs.
I was enjoying the runs.
1478
00:59:52,258 --> 00:59:53,593
I'm sorry.
I cut you off.
1479
00:59:53,635 --> 00:59:55,220
I'm so sorry.
Do you want to hug it out?
1480
00:59:55,261 --> 00:59:56,680
You guys stop it.
Do you want to hug it out?
1481
00:59:56,721 --> 00:59:59,683
Let's get a hug.
Let's hug it out,
let's hug it out.
1482
00:59:59,724 --> 01:00:01,726
Niall turned around
without anybody telling him to.
1483
01:00:01,768 --> 01:00:03,687
No, he didn't tell me.
He just like -- He just did it.
1484
01:00:03,728 --> 01:00:05,480
He was just like,
"Hey, I like this guy."
No, no, no, no, no.

Brian McKnight level.

from how Ed does it.

And I love that.
1493
01:00:19,369 --> 01:00:23,164
He turned with like five seconds
on the clock.
1494
01:00:23,206 --> 01:00:25,208
Mama turned like
in the beginning.
1495
01:00:25,250 --> 01:00:27,919
But go ahead, Niall.
[ Laughs ]
1496
01:00:27,961 --> 01:00:32,048
D.Smooth, because I knew how
hard of a song it was to sing,
1497
01:00:32,090 --> 01:00:34,676
that's why I was waiting, 'cause
there's no room for breath.
1498
01:00:34,718 --> 01:00:36,636
You just carried the song
and you kept taking it
1499
01:00:36,678 --> 01:00:38,138
to -- to new heights.
1500
01:00:38,179 --> 01:00:39,723
Nice and delicate
at the start.
1501
01:00:39,764 --> 01:00:41,975
And then you went on a rip
and you were just flying.
1502
01:00:42,017 --> 01:00:43,393
It was so cool.
1503
01:00:43,435 --> 01:00:45,353
The hardest part
is getting chairs to turn.
1504
01:00:45,395 --> 01:00:47,147
Now you're just
smooth sailing.
1505
01:00:47,188 --> 01:00:49,190
It doesn't get easier
from here.
1506
01:00:49,232 --> 01:00:52,819
Every single performance
has to be elevated in some way.
1507

She's either saying you're wrong
or she's saying you're a liar.

No, no.
I didn't say anything --
1509
01:00:56,364 --> 01:00:57,824
He's been in
a vocal competition.
1510
01:00:57,866 --> 01:00:58,992
Yeah.
He knows that.
1511
01:00:59,034 --> 01:01:00,243
Oh, so she's
calling you a liar.
1512
01:01:00,285 --> 01:01:02,078
I just meant --
I just heard him --

No, no.
You know what I meant, Kelly.

No, no, no.
What I was saying --
1515

The audition part is sometimes
the hardest thing to do.

"A Change Is Gonna Come"
by Sam Cooke.
1863
01:15:51,134 --> 01:15:53,803
This song is very important
for me personally.
1864
01:15:53,845 --> 01:15:57,891
It traces throughout the lineage
of my own family.
1865
01:15:57,932 --> 01:15:59,392
My name is NOIVAS.
1866
01:15:59,434 --> 01:16:04,314
I'm 30 years old and I currently
live in Hutto, Texas.
1867
01:16:04,356 --> 01:16:05,982
I have one daughter, Bella.
1868
01:16:06,024 --> 01:16:08,068
I absolutely love
that little girl.
1869
01:16:08,109 --> 01:16:09,819
And I have another one
on the way.
1870
01:16:09,861 --> 01:16:13,323
I love being a girl dad.
1871
01:16:13,365 --> 01:16:16,409
I want my children to look back
on this one day
1872
01:16:16,451 --> 01:16:19,871
and say, "Dad didn't give up
on his dream,
1873
01:16:19,913 --> 01:16:22,374
so why should I?"
1874
01:16:22,415 --> 01:16:24,793
* Mmmmmmmm *
1875
01:16:24,834 --> 01:16:26,169
"A Change Is Gonna Come"
1876
01:16:26,211 --> 01:16:29,506
is the perfect song
for this moment.
1877
01:16:29,547 --> 01:16:33,468
It was the first song
I ever played on the guitar.
1878
01:16:33,510 --> 01:16:39,015
And my father, he grew up
in Jim Crow Mississippi,
1879
01:16:39,057 --> 01:16:43,103
in a time of widespread racism.
1880
01:16:52,028 --> 01:16:54,030
So, I waited
for a change.
1881
01:16:54,072 --> 01:16:57,158
My grandfather, they tried
to burn down his church.
1882
01:16:57,200 --> 01:17:00,704
I remember singing that song
for him before he passed away.
1883
01:17:00,745 --> 01:17:06,918
He told me, "This reminds me
of the happiest times in my life
1884
01:17:06,960 --> 01:17:09,170
and some of the worst times
in my life."
1885
01:17:09,212 --> 01:17:13,425
And if that isn't
the perfect definition
1886
01:17:13,466 --> 01:17:19,556
of what it was like
to be Black in this country...
1887
01:17:19,597 --> 01:17:23,101
That's one reason why I wanted
to sing this song.
1888
01:17:23,143 --> 01:17:27,814
I am dedicating my performance
to not only my daughters,
1889
01:17:27,856 --> 01:17:30,525
but my father, my community.
1890
01:17:30,567 --> 01:17:32,694
Man: Our next artist
is entering now.
1891
01:17:32,736 --> 01:17:37,407
NOIVAS: I just want to honor
those who came before me.

will be having a coach

with a show like this

01:23:15,829 --> 01:23:19,124
Let's get this. Let's win!
Let's win, man.
2031
01:23:19,165 --> 01:23:22,085
Chance:
NOIVAS, that's, like, one of
my secret weapons right now.
2032
01:23:22,127 --> 01:23:25,797
He's immensely talented.
He's an instrumentalist.
2033
01:23:25,839 --> 01:23:27,340
Make some noise!
2034
01:23:27,382 --> 01:23:30,260
First day is done.
I'm excited to keep going.
2035
01:23:30,301 --> 01:23:32,721
Oh, my God!
2036
01:23:36,182 --> 01:23:40,437
I knew you were gonna turn.
That's maybe the most
well-played block
2037
01:23:40,478 --> 01:23:42,939
I've ever seen on the show.
Chess, not checkers, baby!
2038
01:23:42,981 --> 01:23:44,566
"Chess, not checkers."
[ Laughs ]
You kidding me?
2039
01:23:44,607 --> 01:23:45,734
Let's go!
2040
01:23:45,775 --> 01:23:47,569
It's rookie season,
and I'm so proud
2041
01:23:47,610 --> 01:23:49,738
of my fellow rookie Chance
for getting NOIVAS.
2042
01:23:49,779 --> 01:23:51,322
He's gonna take him
all the way.
2043
01:23:51,364 --> 01:23:53,366
Can you try to be home
by 7:30 for dinner?
2044
01:23:53,408 --> 01:23:54,576
Yes, Dad.
Okay.
2045
01:23:54,617 --> 01:23:55,827
I'll get an Uber.
Okay.
2046
01:23:55,869 --> 01:23:57,537
Great job today.
I'm really proud of you.
2047
01:23:57,579 --> 01:23:59,164
Thank you, Dad.
See you later.
2048
01:23:59,205 --> 01:24:01,332
See you --
See you tonight!
2049
01:24:03,001 --> 01:24:04,502
My dad. What a guy.
2050
01:24:04,544 --> 01:24:06,921
[ Clears throat ]
Um, what was I saying?
2051
