We're at the last day
of blinds.

Reba, your first season
on "The Voice."

00:00:10,301 --> 00:00:11,761
How does it feel?

4
00:00:11,803 --> 00:00:14,014
I can't believe it is
the last day of the blinds.

5
00:00:14,055 --> 00:00:15,598
Thank y'all so much
for your help.

I appreciate it.

It's been a pleasure.
It's been a blast.

8
00:00:18,810 --> 00:00:21,312
And you have some
amazing singers on your team.
Y'all do, too.

00:00:21,354 --> 00:00:22,689
I think this is
the first time in a while

10
00:00:22,731 --> 00:00:26,693
I've seen every coach
has got a potential winner.

11
00:00:26,735 --> 00:00:29,112
I think John has five winners
on his team. [ Laughs ]

I was gonna say,
some a few winners. Yeah.

We're not gonna go down
easy, though.

14
00:00:32,323 --> 00:00:33,742
Only one person's
gonna win.

15
00:00:33,783 --> 00:00:36,119
And literally it could be
anybody on anybody's team.

Can't wait
for the battles.

Wait, what should I wear, Niall?
I'm trying to figure that out.

Um, I think you should
wear all beige.

Producer: It's okay.
I stopped recording.

Sometimes it's good
to just go with the flow

Don't pick up
that cymbal stand.

Yay!
Okay.

I think
we should be good now.

My name is Huntley,

the wrong way.

Oh, sissy's

I just want to show them
how to love

and really chase their dreams.

00:01:43,311 --> 00:01:44,854
I didn't have that.

51
00:01:44,896 --> 00:01:48,775
My dad kind of disappeared
when I was like 8 years old.

52
00:01:48,817 --> 00:01:51,861
And when I found music,
I feel like I found my place.

53
00:01:51,903 --> 00:01:53,780
I've been singing my whole life.

54
00:01:53,822 --> 00:01:57,784
But when I was 14, my buddy
Robert heard me singing a song,

55
00:01:57,826 --> 00:01:59,285
and he was like, "What?!"

56
00:01:59,327 --> 00:02:01,204
He was like,
"Dude, we're starting a band."

57
00:02:01,246 --> 00:02:03,456
I started in a metal band.
I was a screamer.

58
00:02:03,498 --> 00:02:05,291
And then I found
the acoustic guitar,

59
00:02:05,333 --> 00:02:07,460
and that's when I uprooted
to Nashville.

60
00:02:07,502 --> 00:02:11,131
I was 19 years old, not knowing
what I was getting into.

61
00:02:11,172 --> 00:02:12,799
I tried for so long,

62
00:02:12,841 --> 00:02:15,635
but living paycheck to paycheck
just wasn't cutting it for me,

63
00:02:15,677 --> 00:02:17,971
and I went back to Virginia.

64
00:02:18,013 --> 00:02:20,640
I came back feeling defeated,

65
00:02:20,682 --> 00:02:24,144

As soon as my daughter was born,

providing for my family
was my number-one goal.

00:02:30,525 --> 00:02:33,570
I play three to five shows
a week now,

70
00:02:33,611 --> 00:02:36,531
and during the day,
I'm a booking agent.

71
00:02:36,573 --> 00:02:39,159
I have to make calls to venues.
I have to do scheduling.

72
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:40,827
I have to deal
with cancellations.

73

I didn't have that.

74
00:02:42,328 --> 00:02:45,331
And that's what kind of
drove me to get in that field.

00:02:45,373 --> 00:02:47,167
It does give me
a lot of gratification

76
00:02:47,208 --> 00:02:48,501
that I'm taking care
of the artists.

Well,
let's see if she turns.

If she doesn't,
that's not your number-one fan.

even if she doesn't turn.

with me.

home right now, cheering me on.

selfish following this dream,

to accomplish this for us.

just not getting chairs turned

It was always a dream of mine
to be a D1 runner,

to chase the musician dream.

is definitely my mom.

Yeah.

my final year at college

is definitely not
the easiest decision,

523
00:20:22,806 --> 00:20:25,016
but I think it's absolutely
the right choice.

524
00:20:25,058 --> 00:20:28,478

even validate that further.

Well, Eli,
that was really wonderful.

out of pure excitement,
as I'm sure.

It's not easy
to come out here

and take on a song.

I mean, that -- that tells me
that you have so much potential.

As soon as I turned,
I could hear, like,

595
00:23:35,582 --> 00:23:38,251
the whole performance went to
another place, and I was like --

596
00:23:38,293 --> 00:23:40,211
Yeah, it was...
..."What happened to him?
Like, he was like..."

You were so solid.
You know what I'm saying?

598
00:23:42,505 --> 00:23:44,966
Yeah, yeah, definitely.
But that's okay because
you already got two turns,

and you're here
to be coached,

600

to do that.

would have happened to me?

00:27:19,931 --> 00:27:21,516
and I started writing
what I wanted to write.

687
00:27:21,558 --> 00:27:24,853
And for the first time,
I was like [exhales deeply]

688
00:27:24,894 --> 00:27:26,646
It was like a weight
lifted off my shoulder.

689
00:27:26,688 --> 00:27:29,315
* Let me see that sunshine *

690
00:27:29,357 --> 00:27:32,777
Since going independent,
I've been able to release music,

691
00:27:32,819 --> 00:27:34,029
regardless of what I feel like

692
00:27:34,070 --> 00:27:35,780
somebody is gonna
think about it.

693
00:27:35,822 --> 00:27:37,949
And "The Voice" is
such a great platform

694
00:27:37,991 --> 00:27:40,785
to be able to put
all of that aside.

695
00:27:40,827 --> 00:27:43,705
I'm feeling like
I have an identity again,

696
00:27:43,747 --> 00:27:45,040
and I feel good.

697
00:27:45,081 --> 00:27:48,668
I feel like I'm like
a singer-songwriter-y...

698
00:27:48,710 --> 00:27:51,421
I want to call it
"coffee shop pop."

699
00:27:51,463 --> 00:27:52,589
That might not be a genre.

700
00:27:52,630 --> 00:27:54,299
She's got
such a wide range.

701
00:27:54,341 --> 00:27:56,384
She's got all these
different tones

702
00:27:56,426 --> 00:27:57,844
within each of her songs.

703
00:27:57,886 --> 00:28:00,221
And I think this opportunity
is almost a reward

704
00:28:00,263 --> 00:28:02,766
for all the hard work
that she's put in.

705
00:28:02,807 --> 00:28:04,893
Music is a really
hard industry to be in,

706
00:28:04,934 --> 00:28:09,064
and I have the support system
that a lot of people don't get.

707
00:28:09,105 --> 00:28:10,607
And I'm very, very lucky.

708
00:28:10,648 --> 00:28:12,484
Don't get jealous
if I'm standing next to Niall,

709
00:28:12,525 --> 00:28:16,404
and, you know, I happen to have
put my arm around him.

710
00:28:16,446 --> 00:28:18,031
I can live with that.

711
00:28:18,073 --> 00:28:21,076
This is a huge opportunity,
and I'm gonna be nervous.

712
00:28:21,117 --> 00:28:22,410
I already know I am.

My name is Brailey Lenderman.

I am from Roswell, Georgia,

but I live
in Nashville, Tennessee.

Great. Great.

Well, I'm terribly sorry
I didn't turn around for you.
That's okay.

751
00:30:37,754 --> 00:30:39,214
I've got one slot left,

752
00:30:39,255 --> 00:30:42,133
so I'm just, you know,
picking and choosing.

753
00:30:42,175 --> 00:30:44,219
But I heard a little bit
of pitch problems

754

every once in a while

755
00:30:45,512 --> 00:30:47,389
that I was a little
concerned with.

Like Reba, I only have
one slot left on my team.

And also, I was waiting
for the chorus to come in

00:30:58,525 --> 00:31:01,403
because I know how big
of a chorus that song has.

761

I thought you
pretty much nailed it.

who want to coach you.

Hi, Brailey.
Hi, Gwen.

766
00:31:10,203 --> 00:31:12,163
I really love
your voice.

767
00:31:12,205 --> 00:31:14,124
I think you have
a lot of texture,

768
00:31:14,165 --> 00:31:16,960
and I felt like there
were some weird choices

769
00:31:17,002 --> 00:31:18,044
for some of the notes,

770
00:31:18,086 --> 00:31:20,422
but then other times
it was like,

771
00:31:20,463 --> 00:31:23,091
"Wow, that girl has
so much character in her voice

772
00:31:23,133 --> 00:31:25,677
and personality, and she's
singing from her heart."
Thank you.

773
00:31:25,719 --> 00:31:28,221
And I think that that's
the whole point of this show

774
00:31:28,263 --> 00:31:31,558
is you get
a great coach, right,

775
00:31:31,599 --> 00:31:33,143
that's super into you,

776
00:31:33,184 --> 00:31:35,311
that could be
your cheerleader,

with all of those decisions.

just to work with people
like you that are so gifted

a little zhuzh

here and there
to bounce off of,

to just get to the next level,
you know?

787
00:31:57,500 --> 00:31:59,127

to be your coach.

792
00:32:07,302 --> 00:32:08,803
The issue with picking
a song that big

793
00:32:08,845 --> 00:32:11,306
is you were so --

794
00:32:11,348 --> 00:32:13,892
you thought
about the word "makes"...

How did you know?
[ Laughs ]

796
00:32:15,435 --> 00:32:18,021
...so much that sometimes then
the rest of the sentence

797
00:32:18,063 --> 00:32:20,482
was forgotten about a little bit
because you were just like,

798
00:32:20,523 --> 00:32:22,567
"I need to hit that first note
in the chorus."

799
00:32:22,609 --> 00:32:24,235
And that's just
audition nerves.

have that issue

about that.

in their first audition.

it's huge.

you're nervous,

Yeah,
I bought that, Gwen.

Hello. What is your name,
and where are you from?

Hi, my name is Colby Cobb.

956
00:38:27,891 --> 00:38:29,809
I'm 19,
and I'm from Centre, Alabama.

957
00:38:29,851 --> 00:38:33,980
You have one of my favorite
voices I've heard this season.

958
00:38:34,022 --> 00:38:36,566
And I know that sounds weird
'cause I didn't turn around,

959
00:38:36,608 --> 00:38:39,903
but your tone and your natural
style and instinct

960
00:38:39,944 --> 00:38:42,447
is just so,
so pretty and beautiful.

961
00:38:42,489 --> 00:38:45,617
And I just feel that you just
need to focus on the tuning.

962
00:38:45,658 --> 00:38:48,036
So, I just want to encourage you
to just come back here.

963
00:38:48,078 --> 00:38:51,790
I also think that
with a song like this,

964
00:38:51,831 --> 00:38:53,833
it's obviously like
a pulse-y kind of groove.

It's very easy
when something's so chilled

966

and you're strumming
along slowly

967
00:38:57,504 --> 00:38:58,797
to sit so far
behind the beat

968
00:38:58,838 --> 00:39:00,590
that you can't keep up
with the pitch.

969
00:39:00,632 --> 00:39:03,009
Just make sure
you get there and attack,

970
00:39:03,051 --> 00:39:04,678
like the way Matty Healy
does in that song.

971
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:07,889
He's very * I don't want
your body, but... *

You know, like, it's very --
it's not dreamy.

973
00:39:10,809 --> 00:39:12,894
It's attacking, even though
it's still pulsing along.

974
00:39:12,936 --> 00:39:14,813
And I think if you just keep
an eye on that.

00:39:14,854 --> 00:39:17,315

Please come back.

"Dylan, I want you
to sing it at my funeral."

there's a lot of people

my voice is different,

on this show, and so --

for just a year, actually.

I quit my job.

1451
01:00:13,905 --> 01:00:15,907
What I did before that
was I actually worked

1452
01:00:15,949 --> 01:00:17,867
with people who had
Alzheimer's and dementia.

1453
01:00:17,909 --> 01:00:19,911
Oh, my God.
And very heartbreaking.

1454
01:00:19,953 --> 01:00:21,621
But the one thing
that they still remember

1455
01:00:21,663 --> 01:00:22,872
and connect with is music.

1456
01:00:22,914 --> 01:00:24,374
And so, I'd go in
and just sing to them,

1457
01:00:24,416 --> 01:00:27,252
and I quit that job with
50 cents in my bank account.

1458
01:00:27,293 --> 01:00:29,379
Not the best move,
but, you know, pretty soon,

1459
01:00:29,421 --> 01:00:30,964
you just make the connections
you need and you play around.

1460

But, ultimately,
I'm a songwriter.

1461
01:00:32,007 --> 01:00:33,341
I want to play what I'm writing,

out there, as well.

a real point of view.

like Lennon's.

1538
01:03:17,881 --> 01:03:19,174
Whoo!

1539
01:03:19,215 --> 01:03:20,759
Hello.
Morgan: Oh, my God!

1540
01:03:20,800 --> 01:03:23,845
Lennon is the perfect way
to complete Team Niall.

1541
01:03:23,887 --> 01:03:25,722
Team Niall is full!

1542
01:03:25,764 --> 01:03:27,557
[ Cheers and applause ]

1543
01:03:27,599 --> 01:03:31,895
I have a very special team
full of very unique artists.

1544
01:03:31,936 --> 01:03:35,857
Team Niall is full of
beautiful singer-songwriters,

1545
01:03:35,899 --> 01:03:40,195
beautiful character singers,
some huge rock voices.

1546
01:03:40,236 --> 01:03:42,364
It's got a bit of everything
in here this year.

1547
01:03:42,405 --> 01:03:44,574
Starting to get a little bit
of déjà vu, America,

1548
01:03:44,616 --> 01:03:48,119
because I got a feeling
that the winner of Season 24

1549
01:03:48,161 --> 01:03:50,705
is on Team Niall yet again.

1550
01:03:50,747 --> 01:03:52,332
Whoo!

1551
01:03:52,374 --> 01:03:53,833
Wow!

[ Laughs ]

1553
01:03:56,169 --> 01:03:58,380
John and I are the only ones
with a spot left,

1554
01:03:58,421 --> 01:04:00,090
so we're going to have
to battle it out,

1555
01:04:00,131 --> 01:04:02,342
which is like, if I had
to battle against anyone,

1556
01:04:02,384 --> 01:04:05,887
I wouldn't want it
to be John Legend, ever.

1557
01:04:05,929 --> 01:04:07,263
But I'm going to still fight.

1558
01:04:07,305 --> 01:04:10,016
You never know
what's going to happen next.

Daly: Welcome back
to the blind auditions

1561
01:04:19,150 --> 01:04:20,777
at Universal Studios Hollywood.

1562
01:04:20,819 --> 01:04:22,362
Niall: So, this is going to get
interesting this afternoon.

1563
01:04:22,404 --> 01:04:24,572
We're, like, very close
to being complete.

1564
01:04:24,614 --> 01:04:26,241
You got to be...
I think your button's
not going to work...

1565
01:04:26,282 --> 01:04:27,826
Oh?
...when you go
back up there.

1566
01:04:27,867 --> 01:04:29,369
It's not going to work?

1567
01:04:29,411 --> 01:04:30,912
Yeah, you're gonna have to go
take a break and call Chrissy.

1568
01:04:30,954 --> 01:04:32,163
Oh, no.
Yeah.

1569
01:04:32,205 --> 01:04:34,791
No more John-like
soul singers, please.

1570
01:04:34,833 --> 01:04:37,585
Please!
Let me have a chance.

1571
01:04:37,627 --> 01:04:38,962
I feel like you
always have a chance

1572
01:04:39,004 --> 01:04:39,963
with the soul singers,
though.

1573
01:04:40,005 --> 01:04:41,381
You think?
Yes!

1574
01:04:41,423 --> 01:04:43,091
Through the times we've been
together on this show,

1575
01:04:43,133 --> 01:04:44,551
you've always had
at least one or two

1576
01:04:44,592 --> 01:04:46,219
really good
soulful singers.
I have had some.

1577
01:04:46,261 --> 01:04:47,512
Thank you.
Y'all have me all riled up.

1578
01:04:47,554 --> 01:04:49,139
Let's go out there
and do it.

Let's go.
Let's do it. Come on.

Can't believe I'm getting
ready to sing for him, man.

1581
01:04:57,689 --> 01:05:01,192
Gwen's got the personality.
Her music is iconic.

1582
01:05:01,234 --> 01:05:04,612
I just know she could do
some great things with me.

1583
01:05:04,654 --> 01:05:08,116
This is a dream right now
becoming a reality.

1584
01:05:08,158 --> 01:05:10,160
I've worked so hard
for this moment

1585
01:05:10,201 --> 01:05:12,328
up till now, and I'm ready.

These four coaches represent
a huge opportunity.

1588

I know that teams
are filling up,

1589
01:05:20,712 --> 01:05:23,423
so I just want to make sure
that when I go out there,

1590
01:05:23,465 --> 01:05:25,884
they're going to
remember my voice.

1591
01:05:25,925 --> 01:05:27,969
They're going to remember
that I made them feel

to have pitched for.

this gentleness, as well.

It's powerful,
but it's not overpowering.

I know that I don't sing
in your lane

and that we're different
in that way,

1696

but I have bounced
in a lot of different genres.

I understand music.
I'm a songwriter, as well.

an amazing coach for you.

to fill my team.

I turned for Lennon,

if Lennon was on my team
and completed my team.

We've got

anyone's auditioned pregnant,

to do this on "The Voice."

Can we consider myself a duo?
I'm just kidding. [ Laughs ]

Music has been the one thing
that's kept me going

through really difficult moments
of my life.

1768
01:13:33,121 --> 01:13:36,041
My husband and I got married
in October of 2016,

1769
01:13:36,082 --> 01:13:40,837
and we started to try to have
a baby in September of '21.

1770
01:13:40,879 --> 01:13:44,007
We journeyed through a battle
with infertility.

1771
01:13:44,049 --> 01:13:46,843
Every month
when I'd get a negative test,

1772
01:13:46,885 --> 01:13:50,680
it was just a constant reminder
this isn't happening yet.

It felt like the months
just kept dragging on

1774
01:13:52,891 --> 01:13:54,351
and kept dragging on.

1775
01:13:54,392 --> 01:13:55,894
I would sit at the piano,

1776
01:13:55,935 --> 01:13:58,355
just playing,
and I'd write this lyric,

1777
01:13:58,396 --> 01:13:59,856
"The valley is not my home."

I'm passing through this.

to the second appointment.

my second trimester.

than being on "The Voice"

Right now, it's been
a little bit slow

just because of the stage
of life that I'm in,

1788
01:14:25,799 --> 01:14:28,426

doing a lot of my gigs

to tie together

are really special.

a little more control
over the performance,

1846
01:16:57,325 --> 01:16:59,911

you want to, like, build it

a little bit more,
you know what I'm saying?

of twists.

a little bit more, still.

Daly: Welcome back
to the blind auditions.

1875
01:18:00,305 --> 01:18:02,223
Calla: This is the restaurant
I used to work at.

1876
01:18:02,265 --> 01:18:05,018
I was a bartender and a server,
and my favorite drink to make

1877
01:18:05,060 --> 01:18:07,771
was a spicy,
skinny margarita.

1878

* Wake up and do
the right thing *

1879
01:18:09,981 --> 01:18:10,982
* Get on the right track *

1880
01:18:11,024 --> 01:18:12,192
My name's Calla Prejean.

1881
01:18:12,233 --> 01:18:14,861
I'm 22, and I am
from Houston, Texas,

1882
01:18:14,903 --> 01:18:16,613
but I currently live
in Nashville.

1883
01:18:17,697 --> 01:18:21,534
I first started writing music
professionally when I was 17.

1884
01:18:21,576 --> 01:18:24,621
When I graduated high school,
I didn't go to college.

1885
01:18:24,662 --> 01:18:28,124
I immediately jumped
straight into the industry.

1886
01:18:28,166 --> 01:18:30,001
To support myself
through this journey,

1887
01:18:30,043 --> 01:18:32,796
I worked lots of jobs.

1888
01:18:32,837 --> 01:18:34,297
I worked at a juice shop.

1889
01:18:34,339 --> 01:18:38,134
I was a bartender, a server,
a nanny, a dog sitter,

1890
01:18:38,176 --> 01:18:41,763
and I was an assistant
for Sara Evans,

1891
01:18:41,805 --> 01:18:44,599
which was such a great job.

1892
01:18:44,641 --> 01:18:46,351
Sara, as a country artist,

1893
01:18:46,393 --> 01:18:49,646
she's been in the game
for so long and is so respected,

1894
01:18:49,688 --> 01:18:51,898
and it is a little bit different
than my style,

1895
01:18:51,940 --> 01:18:53,483
because I am pop R&B,

1896
01:18:53,525 --> 01:18:56,319
but I grew up listening
to every single genre of music.

1897
01:18:56,361 --> 01:18:58,822
I grew up
listening to Sara Evans.

1898
01:18:58,863 --> 01:19:01,157
I was able to do
so many things

1899
01:19:01,199 --> 01:19:04,202
and see so many different
avenues of an artist,

1900
01:19:04,244 --> 01:19:07,038
so I was able to, like, be
the sponge and soak it all up.

1901
01:19:07,080 --> 01:19:09,165
That's going to be you.
[ Chuckles ]

1902
01:19:09,207 --> 01:19:11,835
As a personal assistant,
I think the first thing I did

1903
01:19:11,876 --> 01:19:13,211
was I saw her
at the Grand Ole Opry,

1904
01:19:13,253 --> 01:19:15,213
which I had never
been there before.

1905
01:19:15,255 --> 01:19:17,298
I think it sparked
a little thing inside me.

1906
01:19:17,340 --> 01:19:21,177
I saw her do it at such
a huge level that I was like,

1907
01:19:21,219 --> 01:19:23,013
"I want to be
on that huge level."

1908
01:19:23,054 --> 01:19:26,016
Hey, Calla,
it's Sara Evans,

1909
01:19:26,057 --> 01:19:30,186
and I just wanted to wish you
so much luck on "The Voice."

1910
01:19:30,228 --> 01:19:32,939
And we are just
all rooting for you

1911
01:19:32,981 --> 01:19:35,817
and wishing you the very best.

1912
01:19:35,859 --> 01:19:38,111
That was so cool.

1913
01:19:38,153 --> 01:19:39,320
Man:
Ladies and gentlemen,

1914
01:19:39,362 --> 01:19:42,198
our next artist
is entering now.

1915
01:19:42,240 --> 01:19:44,784
Today, I'll be singing
"You're So Vain" by Carly Simon

1916
01:19:44,826 --> 01:19:46,077
for my blind audition.

1917
01:19:46,119 --> 01:19:48,496
I love the boldness.
She's not afraid.

1918
01:19:48,538 --> 01:19:51,041
She's just going to do it
because that's who she is.

1919
01:19:51,082 --> 01:19:54,586
And that's a lot like
how I am, as well.

1920
01:19:54,627 --> 01:19:55,754
Last one.

1921
01:19:55,795 --> 01:19:57,547
Last one.

1922
01:19:57,589 --> 01:19:59,924
I think, um...

1923
01:19:59,966 --> 01:20:01,259
Sorry.

1924
01:20:02,469 --> 01:20:06,556
This audition today,
it is a big leap,

1925
01:20:06,598 --> 01:20:10,477
and my younger self
would be proud of me.

1926

that they'd be your partner *

What's your name,

My name is Calla.
I'm 22, and I'm from Houston.

Did you know that you get
to be on Team Gwen

1949
01:21:33,351 --> 01:21:35,020
because she only had
one spot left

1950
01:21:35,061 --> 01:21:36,312
and she wanted
to give it to you?

1951

Oh, my gosh.
Thank you.

turned for you, too.

Yeah, me too.
You sounded so great.

so comfortable and confident.

It's just rich
and warm and round.

I think that the one thing
that we can work on together

1964
01:22:01,713 --> 01:22:05,175
is also just sort of mapping out
the song a little bit better,

1965
01:22:05,216 --> 01:22:06,509
of when you're going to do
your runs

1966
01:22:06,551 --> 01:22:08,261
and how you're going to do
your runs,

1967
01:22:08,303 --> 01:22:10,388
because I think you have
everything it takes

1968
01:22:10,430 --> 01:22:13,433
to just really be very,
very strong on this show.

1969

I'm excited that
you're going to be on my team

to work together,

I think it suits
your voice so well.

would have turned for
