MUSIC TODAY. * FIVE GENERATIONS BLAZING A
TRAIL * >> WHAT JACQUIE DOES IS SHE
CONNECTS REALLY WELL. THE WAY SHE BROUGHT THE LYRICS
TO LIFE, IT FELT SO PERSONALLY INVESTED IN WHAT THE MESSAGE
WAS. I THINK ANYBODY THAT SEES THAT
PERFORMANCE IS GOING TO WANT TO SEE HER CONTINUE.
>> I WAS A LITTLE BIT NERVOUS TO CHANGE IT BECAUSE IT'S CLIMBING
THE CHARTS. GOD BLESS LAINEY WILSON, BUT I
GOT TO BE JACQUIE ROAR. >> I DIDN'T KNOW WHO EITHER OF
THOSE PEOPLE WERE BEFORE I GOT HERE.

IN THE BEGINNING. 'NEWS YAT SO WE UNDERSTAND THE

JOHN, SOME THOUGHTS FROM YOU, SIR?
>> NINI, YOU'VE BEEN ONE OF THE BEST TALENTS IN THIS COMPETITION

YOUR VOICE IS AMAZING. YOU'RE SO POWERFUL.
YOU HAVE SO MUCH MAGNETISM ON STAGE AND YOU DID IT AGAIN.
>> Carson: LET'S HEAR WHAT YOUR COACH THINKS.
NIALL? >> AND THE GRAMMY GOES TO.
NINI, THAT WAS ABSOLUTELY SPECTACULAR.
YOUR ABILITY TO FLIP A SONG ON ITS HEAD AND TURN IT INTO YOUR
OWN IS NOTHING LIKE ANYTHING I KNOW.
THE WAY YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE AS AN ARTIST IS SO IMPRESSIVE.
SO PROUD OF YOU. WELL DONE.
>> Carson: IF YOU WANT NINI IN THE TOP 9, YOU CAN VOTE WHEN THE

KEISHA COLE. SHE COULD PUT THIS OUT TOMORROW
AND EVERYBODY WOULD BELIEVE HER. IT'S A REALLY IMPORTANT THING
WHEN YOU'RE AN ARTIST. IT'S LIKE, THIS IS WHO I AM.
* I FOUND YOU * >> THE FIRST VERSES FELT
CONVERSATIONAL AND I LIKED THAT. I LIKE THAT DYNAMICALLY ON THE
SECOND ONE YOU WERE SOFTER. MAYBE SPLIT THE DIFFERENCE.
>> MAYBE FROM ONE OF THE I FOUNDS TRY DOING IT LIKE A CLIMB
OR SWINGING IT. I NEVER HEARD THAT DONE BEFORE.
* I FELL * >> I LIKE WHEN SHE DOES IT LIKE
THAT. IF THAT WAS THE PERFORMANCE, I
WOULD HAVE VOTED FOR YOU. >> SO REAL.

YOU HAVE TO NAIL IT AND YOU NAILED IT, KARA.
YES. ABSOLUTELY.
STAGE PRESENCE. VOICE.

IT WAS WONDERFUL. >> Carson: LET'S GO TO YOUR
COACH. GWEN?

SO EXCITING FOR FEEDBACK. I'M GOING TO BE PERFORMING
"THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES." >> THIS IS A REALLY GOOD SONG
FOR YOU. EDGIER SOUND.
THIS SONG IS A COMBINATION OF EVERYTHING I AM AS AN ARTIST.
>> TANNER HAS ALL THESE GIFTS. IT'S SO FUN HELPING HIM TRY TO
HONE IN ON WHO HE IS AND WHAT LANE HE WANTS TO BE IN.
I FEEL LIKE TANNER IS MY POP ROCK HEART BREAKER.
>> WOW. >> YOU KNOW WHAT'S SO WEIRD?
GROWING UP I WOULD NEVER HEAR AN ALTERNATIVE SONG AND SOMEBODY DO
RUNS. YOU MADE IT REALLY WORK.
I LIKED IT FOR YOU. >> OKAY.
>> I WANT TO KNOW IF SOMEONE IS LIKE YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE YOUR
RECORD -- I KNOW THE SHAUN MENDES THING.
WHAT WOULD YOU SOUND BE LIKE? WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE BAND?
>> IT WOULD BE THAT. >> I THINK YOU'RE GETTING A
LITTLE TOO TRICKY WITH SOME OF THE RUN.
>> THAT REALLY COMES DOWN TO NAILING THE ORIGINAL
COMPOSITION. THE PITCH IS THE MOST IMPORTANT
PART. >> THAT IS GOOD ADVICE.
LEARN THE ORIGINAL AND SLOWLY ADD IN YOUR STYLE.
>> TANNER'S GOT A COOL DUALITY OF HIS VOICE.
DOING A FALLOUT BOY SONG IS BOLD, BUT HE NAILED IT.
THAT'S WHAT THE SHOW IS ABOUT, SHOWING ORIGINALITY.
>> FOCUSING ON HITTING THOSE INTERVALS IS GOING TO MAKE
EVERYBODY ROCK OUT. >> WHAT TANNER NEEDS TO DO TO
MAKE THE SEMI-FINALS IS MAKE THE PURITY OF HIS VOICE COME THROUGH
AND AMERICA'S GOING TO FALL IN LOVE WITH HIM.
* *
* I'M GOING TO MAKE IT BEND AND BREAK *
* SAY A PRAYER BUT LET THE *

EMOTIONAL TWIST ON EVERY SONG SHE TACKLES.
HERE'S MORE FROM LILA FORDE. >> THIS YOUNG LADY, THERE'S NO
ONE ELSE LIKE HER IN THE COMPETITION.
SHE ALWAYS SURPRISES ME WITH SOMETHING.
>> OH, MY GOD. HERE I GO.
>> LILA IS A CLASSIC SINGER-SONG WRITER.
SHE SINGS THESE CLASSIC SONGS, BUT ALWAYS DOES SOMETHING FRESH
TO MAKE IT COOL AND MAKE IT HER OWN.
THIS SONG, HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT IT?
>> I'M EXCITED ABOUT IT. I'LL BE PLAYING THE PIANO.
HAVEN'T PLAYED SINCE THE BLINDS. IT'S TIME FOR ME TO PLAY BECAUSE
IT'S SUCH A HUGE PART OF WHO I AM AS A MUSICIAN.
* AND I WENT TO THE DOCTOR * * I WENT TO THE MOUNTAINS *
>> I HAVE CLOCKED SO MANY HOURS FROM WAKING UP AT THE CRACK OF
DAWN IN SEATTLE IN THE COLD MORNINGS PRACTICING PIANO FOR AN
HOUR LIKE MY MOM MADE ME. IT'S BROUGHT ME TO THIS MOMENT
IN THE LIVE SHOWS. >> THE KEY WITH YOU BECAUSE YOU
SOUND SO DIFFERENT IS YOU CAN'T TRY TO OUT BELT EVERYONE.
YOU HAVE TO BE THE BEST YOU CAN BE IN YOUR OWN LANE.
>> KEEP IT COOL. BE MYSELF.

>> IF YOU COULD MAKE ME FEEL THE LYRICS, SEEING YOU LOVE THE
LY LYRICS, THAT WILL MAKE YOU --
>> LET ME ASK YOU, JOHN, AND MR. RAPPER --
>> THAT'S WHAT I PREFER. >> I WAS THINKING ABOUT PLAYING
IN THE BEGINNING AND THEN STANDING UP AND NOT PLAYING.
>> I'M OPEN TO THAT. >> MAKE SURE THE WIRES ARE ALL
SET FOR YOU TO STAND. >> I LOVE HAVING JOHN AS A
COACH. I FEEL LIKE HE SEES ME.
THAT'S WHY HE'S TAKEN ME THIS FAR.
* I STOP BY THE BAR AT 3:00 A.M. *
>> TALK ABOUT IT. >> THAT'S SLICK.
>> IT'S CRAZY. >> LILA PICKS THESE LINES THAT
TAKE TWISTS AND TURNS AND COME TO THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PLACES.
THAT'S WHAT I LOVE TO HEAR. >> THAT WAS SO GOOD.
>> IT'S INSANE. YOU'RE DELIVERING THESE LINES
LIKE IT HAPPENED TO YOU. ALL THESE CRAZY RUNS --
>> IT'S LIKE AH! >> EACH ONE IS LIKE GOOSE BUMPS.
>> ALL THE COACHES LOVE HER. I LOVE LILA.
NOW IT'S UP TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, AND I THINK SHE'S GOING
TO DO GREAT. * I'M TRYING TO TELL YOU
SOMETHING ABOUT MY LIFE * * MAYBE GIVE ME INSIGHT
BETWEEN BLACK AND WHITE * * BUT THE BEST THING YOU'VE
EVER DONE FOR ME IS TO HELP ME TAKE MY LIFE
LESS SERIOUSLY * * CAUSE IT'S ONLY LIFE AFTER *
* WELL DARKNESS HAS A HUNGER THAT'S INSATIABLE
AND LIGHTNESS HAS A CALL * * THAT'S HARD TO HEAR
I WRAP MY FEAR AROUND ME LIKE A BLANKET *

I WENT IN SEEKING CLARITY * * I WENT TO THE DOCTOR
AND I WENT TO THE MOUNTAINS * * WE LOOK TO THE CHILDREN *

HE'S LIKE SHE HAS TO STAY ON THE SHOW.
I'M LIKE DAD, STAY TUNED. THIS SONG IS SOMETHING BECAUSE
IT HAS SOMETHING IN IT. AZAN HAS THE GOLDEN VOICE.
THE SONG WE CHOSE IS SO GOOD. WE WERE ABLE TO GET MS. LAURYN
HILL TO CLEAR "EX FACTOR." IT'S NEVER BEEN PERFORMED ON
"THE VOICE." THE KEY TO THIS SONG IS GOING TO
BE MAKING PEOPLE FEEL THE GUT-WRENCHING QUALITY OF THE

AZAN, GREAT JOB. SO COOL WE COULD SING THAT SONG
ON THE SHOW. NEVER DONE THAT LAURYN HILL
SONG. >> NEVER.
>> Carson: GWEN, GIVE US SOME THOUGHTS.
>> I'M BLOWN AWAY. TO GIVE ME THAT SONG AND BE ABLE
TO BLOW ME AWAY AND TAKE IT OUTSIDE OF THE HIP-HOP WORLD AND
SING THE LYRIC AND MAKE IT FEEL LIKE YOUR SONG, IT'S A BIG DEAL.
YOU SOUNDED SO GOOD. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> Carson: COACH, PREACH. >> I FELT EVERYTHING.
YOUR OUTFIT LOOKS AMAZING. YOUR PASSION, YOUR EMOTION, YOUR
VOICE, LIKE I SAID, IS A GOLDEN VOICE.
IT HAS SO MUCH NUANCE TO IT AND BEAUTY AND RADIANCE AND ALL OF
THAT CAME THROUGH IN THIS PERFORMANCE.
IT WAS GORGEOUS. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH, JOHN.
>> Carson: IF YOU WANT AZÁN IN THE TOP NINE, YOU CAN VOTE WHEN

>> LET'S HEAR THIS. * THERE'S A SILENCE HERE BETWEEN
US * * I'VE NEVER HEARD BEFORE *
>> JORDAN IS DOING A RONNIE MILLSAP SONG, ONE OF MY ALL-TIME
FAVORITES. JORDAN IS A STYLIST.
FOR HER TO SHINE, SHE NEEDED A TOUGH SONG TO SING THAT TELLS
HEART BREAK LIKE SHE DID WITH "FANCY."
>> THIS IS ABSOLUTELY A SONG I WISH I HAD WRITTEN.
I WAS WRITING IN DIAPERS. IT'S BEEN A LONG ROAD.
I'VE FLIPPED BURGERS, CLEANED TOILETS, WORKED CONSTRUCTION.
IT WOULD BE THE ULTIMATE VALIDATION FOR AMERICA TO MOVE
ME FORWARD. >> I LIKE YOU CAN PLAY BOAST
INSTRUMENTS, BUT IT WAS DISTRACTING.
I LIKE THE GUITAR BETTER THAN YOU SITTING AT THE PIANO.
>> I AGREE. >> THIS IS AT A CRUCIAL SPOT IN
THE SHOW. YOU WORKED WAY TOO HARD FOR
ANYTHING TO TAKE THE ATTENTION AWAY FROM YOU.
>> YES, MA'AM. >> I THINK ARRANGEMENT-WISE IF
THERE WAS A MORE MELLOW PART I COULD HEAR YOUR VOCAL COME
THROUGH. >> WE'RE GOING TO TAKE HER
REALLY FAR. >> IT WAS ABSOLUTELY THE RIGHT
CHOICE TO STAY ON THE GUITAR. I GOT CHILLS.
IT WAS SO POWERFUL. >> HOPEFULLY AMERICA LOVES IT AS
MUCH AS I DO. *
* THERE'S A SILENCE *
* HERE BETWEEN US I'VE NEVER HEARD BEFORE *
* AND I CAN'T FIND THE LOVE IN HIS EYES ANYMORE *
* THERE'S SOME CHANGES GOING ON
I'M BEGINNING TO UNDERSTAND *
* WHEN I'M HOLDING HIM I SWEAR I FEEL
THE PRESENCE OF ANOTHER HAND *
* THERE'S A STRANGER IN MY HOUSE *
* SOMEBODY HERE THAT I CAN'T SEE *
* A STRANGER IN MY HOUSE * * SOMEBODY HERE TRYING TO TAKE
HIM AWAY FROM ME * * HE SITS
STARING OUT THE WINDOW A MILLION MILES AWAY *
* AND WHEN I ASK IF HE'S ALL RIGHT
HE NEVER HAS TOO MUCH TO SAY *
* SUSPICIONS LEAD TO QUESTIONS
AND QUESTIONS TO ALIBIS * * IS IT JUST MY IMAGINATION
OR HAS HIS LOVE TURNED INTO LIES *
* *
* THERE'S A STRANGER IN MY HOUSE *
* SOMEBODY HERE THAT I CAN'T SEE *
* A STRANGER IN MY HOUSE SOMEBODY HERE TRYING TO
TAKE HIM AWAY FROM ME OH *

THE CONFIDENCE YOU'VE GAINED BY GETTING TO THE LIVES IS
UNBELIEVABLE. THAT WAS BY FAR YOUR BEST
PERFORMANCE OF THE SEASON SO FAR.
YOU DESERVE TO GO ON. >> Carson: IF YOU WANT MARA IN
THE TOP 9, YOU CAN VOTE WHEN THE WINDOW OPENS ON NBC.COM AND "THE
VOICE" OFFICIAL APP. GIVE IT UP FOR MARA JUSTINE.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> Carson: WHEN WE RETURN, MAC
SINGS A PASSIONATE WORLD-WIDE HIT BY BONNIE RAITT.
* UNBELIEVABLE NIGHT TONIGHT.
THEY ARE THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS.
WE'RE SO LUCKY TO HAVE THEM. NOW, LET'S CONTINUE WITH TEAM
LEGEND'S SOUL SINGER FROM ARKANSAS WHO'S INSPIRED THIS
WEEK BY SOMEONE WHO HAS SUPPORTED HIM THROUGHOUT HIS
LIFE. HERE'S MORE FROM MAC ROYALS.
>> YOU WERE PART OF THE SHOW LAST SEASON.
I WAS NOT PART OF THE SHOW. WE WERE GOING TO BE WORKING
TOGETHER NEXT SEASON, SEASON 25. THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO SCOPE OUT
THE COMPETITION. >> YOU TALKING ABOUT YOURSELF?
>> YEAH, ME. >> I THOUGHT WE WERE FRIENDS.
>> WE ARE FRIENDS, BUT I WANT TO DEFEAT YOU.
>> DEFEAT ME? >> YES.
IN THE MEANTIME I WANT TO FOCUS ON DOING THE BEST FOR TEAM
LEGEND THIS SEASON. I'M EXCITING FOR YOU TO MEET
HIM. MAC, LOOK WHO'S HERE.
>> OH, CHANCE THE RAPPER IS ONE OF THE MOST TALENTED ARTISTS.
NOW I GET TO WORK WITH HIM. THAT'S WILD.
>> WEEK AFTER WEEK YOU'VE BEEN SHOWING US YOU'RE AN ELITE LEVEL
ARTIST. I'M EXCITED FOR AMERICA TO VOTE
FOR YOU. MAC IS MY R&B SUPERSTAR.
I'M IN AWE OF HIS ABILITY. HE'S EVERYTHING YOU WANT IN AN
R&B SINGER. MAC IS SINGER BONNIE RAITT'S
CLASSIC "I CAN'T MAKE YOU LOVE ME."
IT'S SUCH A GREAT SONG FOR MAC. I THINK SHOWING THIS EMOTIONAL
SIDE WILL CONNECT WITH THE AUDIENCE AND MAKE THEM VOTE FOR
MAC. >> TO BE IN THE TOP 12, I'M
TAKING IT ALL IN. I GREW UP IN A TRAILER.
MY MOTHER WORKED HER FINGERS TO THE BONE TO MAKE SURE I HAD
EVERYTHING I NEEDED. THERE'S NO WAY I WOULD HAVE BEEN
ABLE TO MAKE IT THIS FAR WITHOUT YOU HERE WITH ME.
THAT'S IT. LOVE YOU TOO, MAMA.
>> I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOU. >> MAKING IT TO THE TOP 12, IT
PUTS ME CLOSER TO A PLACE WHERE I CAN TELL MY MOM, IF YOU DON'T
WANT TO GO BACK TO WORK TOMORROW, YOU DON'T HAVE TO.
>> THERE'S A DIFFERENT MELODY BONNIE DOES ON THE ORIGINAL, I
THINK IT WILL ADD VARIATION. >> THE WAY YOU SLIDE FROM YOUR
FALSETTO IS SEAMLESS. I LIKE THAT A LOT.
MY ONLY ISSUE IS TOWARDS THE END YOU'RE TRYING TO USE YOUR CHEST
VOICE THE WHOLE TIME. I MISS SOME OF THE SOFT AND
LIGHT. I WOULD WORK ON ADDING SOME MORE
OF THE FALSETTO TO GIVE IT AN ELEMENT OF SURPRISE IN THERE.
>> I'M HAPPY, MAN. YOU'RE GOING TO BE GREAT.
>> APPRECIATE YOU ALL. >> MAC IS A TRUE SOUL SINGER.
HE'S ALSO A PERFORM, THE WAY HE CONNECT TS TO THE LYRIC.
I THINK MAC IS ONE OF THE ONES THAT COULD WIN THE WHOLE THING.
* TURN DOWN THE LIGHTS * * TURN DOWN THE BED *
* TURN DOWN THESE VOICES INSIDE MY HEAD HEAD *
* LAY DOWN WITH ME * * TELL ME NO LIES *
* JUST HOLD ME CLOSE DON'T PATRONIZE
DON'T PATRONIZE * * 'CAUSE I CAN'T
MAKE YOU LOVE ME IF YOU DON'T *
* YOU CAN'T MAKE YOUR HEART FEEL
SOMETHING IT WON'T HERE IN THE DARK *
* IN THESE FINAL HOURS I WILL LAY DOWN MY HEART

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> Carson: THAT WAS MAC ROYALS
WHO JUST CONTINUES TONIGHT'S INCREDIBLE PERFORMANCES.
IT FELT LIKE THE FINALE. IT'S OUR TOP 12 LIVE SHOW ON
"THE VOICE." THAT WAS A MASTER CLASS.
JOHN, TALK TO US. >> I SAID IT.
HE'S ELITE, Y'ALL. HE'S ELITE TALENT.
YOU'RE WATCHING SOMEBODY WHO IS SO SPECIAL.
WE'VE SEEN YOU DOING THE SEXY R&B JAMS.
I THINK LETTING PEOPLE INTO YOU EMOTIONALLY AND CONNECTING ON
THIS SONG JUST SHOWS PEOPLE ANOTHER SIDE OF YOU.
THIS MAN NEEDS A RECORD DEAL. THIS MAN NEEDS TO WIN "THE
VOICE." HE NEEDS TO DO ALL THAT.
MAC, I BELIEVE IN YOU SO MUCH. IT WAS ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL
PERFORMANCE AND IT SHOWED ANOTHER SIDE OF YOU.
I'M SO PROUD OF YOU. >> THANK YOU.
>> Carson: IF YOU WANT MAC IN THE TOP NINE, YOU CAN VOTE WHEN
THE WINDOW OPENS ON NBC.COM AND "THE VOICE" OFFICIAL APP.

WHEN WE COME BACK, BIAS CLOSES *
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> Carson: TONIGHT HAS BEEN SO
AMAZING. ONE MORE PERFORMANCE TO GO.
WE'LL OPEN THE VOTING WINDOW. LET'S CLOSE OUT THE TOP 12 LIVE
SHOW WITH TEAM GWEN'S COUNTRY SOUL ARTIST WHO'S CONNECTING
WITH HIS SONG ON A SPIRITUAL LEVEL.
HERE'S MORE FROM BIAS. >> BEING A RED NECK CAN MEAN A
LOT OF THINGS. YOU COULD BE SKINNY DIPPING OR
SIPPING ON A MILKSHAKE OR SITTING ON THE BACK DECK GETTING
THAT ACTION. THERE WAS A WASP.
>> GOOD TO SEE YOU, BRO. Y'ALL, LET'S DO THIS.
>> OH, MY GOSH. >> YOU HAVE A VIBE TO YOU, MAN.
YOU HAVE THAT DAZED AND CONFUSED THING GOING ON.
>> I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S A GOOD THING.

NEVER RELIED ON A LABEL. FOR ME HE'S A HUGE INSPIRATION.
>> I'M SO EXCITE FORD YOU. YOU ALWAYS PICK THE RIGHT SONGS.
>> WHAT'S CRAZY ABOUT THIS SONG, IT'S A JOHNNY CASH SONG.
JOHNNY CASH WAS BORN ABOUT 45 MINUTES FROM MY HOMETOWN IN
ARKANSAS. BEING ABLE TO DO THIS IS INSANE.
* YOU CAN RUN FOR A LONG TIME * * RUN FOR A LONG TIME *
>> WHEN I HEARD THIS SONG, IT JUST FELT SO CONSISTENT WITH WHO
HE'S BEEN. I THINK BIAS IS A COUNTRY SOUL
CREATURE. THE WAY YOU STARTED THE SONG,
YOU'RE SINGING IT SUPER QUIET, BUT YOU CAN BE VERY ANIMATED AND
STORY TELLING. YOU'RE TALKING TO YOURSELF, BUT
YOU'RE WARNING THEM THAT THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN.
I WANT IT TO FEEL LIKE YOU'RE REALLY TELLING THE STORY WHEN
YOU'RE TALKING THROUGH THE FIRST VERSES.
>> THAT SECOND VERSE, LET ME TELL YOU THE NEWS.
THAT'S THE MOTIVATION OF THE WHOLE SONG.
YOU HAVE INFORMATION THAT EVERYBODY ELSE DOESN'T
NECESSARILY HAVE. YOU'RE LIKE MOSES.
* RUN ON FOR A LONG TIME * >> THE MORE COMFORTABLE HE GOT
WITH THE LYRICS AND THE MORE INTENTIONALITY HE PUT ON THE
LYRICS, JUST THE BETTER AND BETTER THE PERFORMANCE GOT.
I'M BECOME AGO BIAS FAN. I GOT A LITTLE BIAS BIAS.
>> IT'S GOING TO BE COOL AND DIFFERENT FROM EVERYBODY ELSE.
WE HAVE SO MANY COUNTRY PEOPLE ROOTING FOR YOU.
>> I'M THE LAST COUNTRY MALE STANDING.
>> EVERYBODY IS FIGHTING FOR A SPOT IN THE SEMI-FINALS.
I THINK AMERICA HAS FALLEN IN LOVE WITH BIAS.
THIS NEXT PERFORMANCE IS GOING TO SEAL THE DEAL.
WE'RE GOING TO WIN "THE VOICE." >> LET'S WIN "THE VOICE."
* YOU CAN RUN ON * * FOR A LONG TIME
RUN ON FOR A LONG TIME *
