TWICE. THEY'RE GOING TO DO A NEW SONG
BY THEMSELVES AS DEDICATIONS TO THE PEOPLE AND THE PLACES THAT

ALL OF YOUR VOTES. THEY'RE ALSO GOING TO BE COMING
TOGETHER FOR A SPECIAL TRIO PERFORMANCES,
ALL IN CELEBRATION OF "IF," THE NEW MOVIE FROM PARAMOUNT
PICTURES, IN THEATERS THIS FRIDAY.

ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT VOTING. LET'S GOAT RIGHT TO IT.
OUR HOMETOWN DEDICATION WEEK KICKS OFF WITH A FUN
PERFORMANCE FROM TEAM REBA'S 234K NORTH CAROLINA MAN.
FAMILY MAN WHO'S TAKING ON A BIG UPBEAT SONG THAT HAS EVERYTHING
HE LOVES ABOUT COUNTRY MUSIC. HERE'S MORE FROM JOSH SANDERS.
>> THAT TOUCHED MY HEART SO MUCH.
BOY, YOU CAN SELL A SONG WITH YOUR HEART, AND THAT'S WHAT'S SO
SPECIAL. WAY TO GO.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> HAVING MY FAMILY HERE, MY
DAUGHTERS AND MY -- HEY! >> DADDY!
>> I LOVE YOU! I'M SO PROUD OF YOU, SO PROUD OF
YOU. >> YOUR WHOLE FAMILY, IT WAS SO
SPECIAL TO ME. I LOVED THAT.
>> IT WAS A VERY SPECIAL MOMENT. >> IT WAS WONDERFUL.
SO YOU'RE DOING A CHRIS STAPLETON SONG TODAY?
>> YES, MA'AM. >> YOU REPRESENT YOUR TOWN WELL.
AND THAT IS A GREAT SONG. THIS COULD REALLY KICK YOU RIGHT
INTO THE FINALS. * THIS LIFE IS FEELING KIND OF
DANGEROUS * >> THIS IS THE PERFECT KIND OF
SONG FOR THIS MOMENT. IF YOU CAN PUT ALL OF WHAT I
LIKE ABOUT COUNTRY IN A CROCKPOT AND LET IT SIMMER FOR A WHILE,
THIS IS THE SONG. FRIENDS, YOU BETTER BUCKLE UP
AND ENJOY THE RIDE. IT'S GOING TO BE FAST.
IT'S GOING TO BE FUN. I'M HOPING THAT'S ENOUGH TO GET
ME TO THE FINALE. >> VERY GOOD.
WE LIKE THAT SONG. >> YES, MA'AM.
CAN YOU HIT THAT ELECTRIC GUITAR LINE AGAIN?
I JUST FEEL LIKE I'M ABOUT TO JUMP IN A STOCK CAR AND TAKE
OFF! I HAD TO SAY, MY HOMETOWN, IT'S
RACING COUNTRY. WHERE I'M FROM, KANNAPOLIS,
NORTH CAROLINA, YOU CAN STILL ROLL IN LITTLE MOM AND POP
COUNTRY DINER. YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TO GIVE THEM
YOUR DRINK ORDER. >> A SHOT OF ESPRESSO.
>> AND A LITTLE BIT OF HONEY. >> IT'S THAT KIND OF VIBE.
>> WE GOT A CELEBRITY IN THE HOUSE!

* SO PROUDLY WE * >> IT'S BEEN A GREAT EXPERIENCE
TO SEE THE PRIDE IN MY HOMETOWN. KANNAPOLIS, Y'ALL HAVE REALLY
OUTDONE YOURSELF. * SOME DAY, MAYBE YOU CAN HAVE
YOUR WAY * >> I THINK JOSH WILL BE GREAT ON
COUNTRY RADIO BECAUSE HE DOESN'T SOUND LIKE EVERYBODY.
HE'S GOT A SOFTNESS, A SWEETNESS, AND THEN HE'S GOT
THAT GROWL LIKE CHRIS STAPLETON HAS.
I THINK COUNTRY MUSIC WOULD BE THRILLED AND GRATE TO FEEL HAVE
HIM. I DON'T KNOW THAT IT'S A SMILING
SONG. >> OKAY.
>> I THINK IT'S JUST A DELIVERY OF A MESSAGE.
ROUGH AND TOUGH. >> I PICK UP WHAT YOU'RE PUTTING
DOWN, OKAY. >> WELL, I'M VERY PROUD OF YOU.
AS YOUR WHOLE FAMILY IN TOWN IS. >> YES, MA'AM.
[ APPLAUSE ] >> Carson: ALL RIGHT.

>> Carson: JOSH, TAE, AND KAREN, EVERYBODY.
AND OUR FRIENDS FROM THE NEW MOVIE "IF" LOVED THAT ONE.
HEY, GUYS. AS WE GET READY FOR OUR NEXT
PERFORMANCE, JUST ANOTHER QUICK REMINDER.
I MENTIONED THIS LAST WEEK, THAT YOU COULD WIN A KILLER TRIP FOR
FOUR TO YOUR CHOICE EITHER RIGHT HERE AT UNIVERSAL STUDIOS
HOLLYWOOD OR UNIVERSAL ORLANDO RESORT.
BOTH AWESOME. FOR MORE INFORMATION AND TO
ENTER FOR A CHANCE TO WIN, HEAD OVER TO "THE VOICE" OFFICIAL APP
OR NBC.COM/VOICESWEEPS. BY THE WAY, THAT DEADLINE IS
TOMORROW. SO BE SURE AND ENTER NOW.
WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE RIGHT AWAY WITH CHANCE'S POP SINGER
WHO'S GETTING SO MUCH SUPPORT FROM HER NEW FANS BACK HOME.
HERE'S MORE FROM MADDI JANE. >> HI, WE'RE FROM ILLINOIS.
WE JUST WANTED TO SAY WE MOVED FROM CHICAGO TO LOS ANGELES TO
FURTHER MY MUSIC CAREER. MY LOS ANGELES COMMUNITY IS
INCREDIBLY SUPPORTIVE. I WILL FOREVER BE A MIDWEST
GIRL. >> SO I'M FROM CHICAGO.
YOU'RE FROM CHICAGO. >> YEAH.
>> HOW DO YOU THINK CHICAGO MOLDED YOU AS AN ARTIST?
>> I THINK THERE IS A GROUNDEDNESS TO CHICAGO.
A LOT OF HARD WORKERS. ALSO HAD A GREAT THEATER GROUP.
>> DID YOU START IN HEATER? >> YEAH.
>> I DIDN'T KNOW THAT. OKAY.
IT'S A CITY WHERE A LOT OF BLUES, GHETTO TECH, HOUSE MUSIC,
SO MANY DIFFERENT GENRES COME OUT OF CHICAGO.
AND I THINK MADDI IS PROBABLY OWES A LOT OF HER SUCCESS TO THE
FACT THAT IT'S A MUSIC CITY. * I SEE YOU EYEING ME DOWN BUT
YOU'LL NEVER KNOW MUCH PAST MY NAME *
>> I AM SINGING "GREEDY" BY TATE McRAE.
I THINK IT'S A PERFECT SONG FOR ME BECAUSE SHE DANCES, SHE IS A
POP ARTIST, WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO BE IN THE
FUTURE. >> SO ONE THING I LEARNED, IF
I'M DOING A FOUR OR FIFE-MINUTE LONG SONG, I'M GOING TO BE
DANCING, A LOT OF TIMES I'M GOING TO SAVE THE DANCING UNTIL
TWO OR THREE MINUTES IN UNTIL IT STARTS OFF SMALL AND GROWS.
* BABY, PLEASE * >> I FEEL LUCKY TO HAVE A COACH
THAT I CAN RELATE TO ON SO MANY DIFFERENT LEVELS.
HE IS VERY CREATIVE. HE IS OUTSIDE THE BOX, AND LOVES
CHOREOGRAPHY TOO. >> I THINK IT'S DOPE.
BUT I THINK WE'RE ON A VOCAL COMPETITION.
AND I KNOW THAT LAST TAKE, THAT ONE WAS A LITTLE BIT MORE LIKE
SPOKEN. I WOULDN'T WASTE ANY
OPPORTUNITY. I WOULD TRY AND -- IF I COULD
SING LIKE YOU, I WOULD SING ALL THE TIME.
THIS WEEK FOUR PEOPLE GO HOME. THIS IS THE ONE WHERE YOU WANT
TO SET YOURSELF APART. THANK YOU, MADDI!
I THINK MADDI'S GOT IT. SHE IS MADDI FOR
HER PASSION AND STAYED TRUE TO HERSELF.
>> WE LOVE YOU! GIVE IT UP FOR MADDI J!
*
* HE SAID ARE YOU SERIOUS I'VE TRIED, BUT I CAN'T
FIGURE OUT * * I'VE BEEN
NEXT TO YOU ALL NIGHT AND STILL DON'T KNOW
WHAT YOU'RE ABOUT * * YOU KEEP TALKING
BUT NOT MUCH COMING OUT I WOULD WANT MYSELF
BABY, PLEASE BELIEVE ME * * I'LL PUT YOU THROUGH HELL
JUST TO KNOW ME YEAH-YEAH *
* SO SURE OF YOURSELF BABY, DON'T GET GREEDY
THAT WON'T END TOO WELL TOO WELL *
* I SEE YOU EYEING ME DOWN BUT YOU'LL NEVER KNOW MUCH
PAST MY NAME * * OR HOW I'M RUNNING
THIS ROOM AROUND AND THAT I'M STILL
HALF YOUR AGE * * YEAH, YOU'RE LOOKING
AT ME LIKE I'M SOME SWEET ESCAPE
OBVIOUS THAT YOU WANT ME * * I WOULD WANT MYSELF
BABY, PLEASE BELIEVE ME I'LL PUT YOU THROUGH HELL
JUST TO KNOW ME, YEAH-YEAH * * SO SURE OF YOURSELF

I COME FROM LINCOLN, NEBRASKA. TO MOST MUSICIANS USUALLY MOVE
TO NASHVILLE, BIG MUSIC CITIES. IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, I AM HERE
AGAINST ALL ODDS. IT'S HOMETOWN WEEK.
>> WHAT IS IT ABOUT NEBRASKA THAT MADE YOU WANT TO MAKE IT
HOME? >> LINCOLN IS JUST A BEAUTIFUL
COLLEGE TOWN, GREAT PEOPLE, GREAT MUSIC SCENE AS WELL.

WE HAD A HOMETOWN PARTY AT A THEATER, AND THEY PUT MY NAME ON
THE MARQUEE. AND MY DAUGHTER'S '80s COVER

STAGE. TO SEE HOW LINCOLN RALLIED FOR
ME BEING HERE ON "THE VOICE," IT'S A BEAUTIFUL FEELING AND I
LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT. >> THAT MUST HAVE BEEN FUN.
THE KEY IS MAKING THAT EMOTIONAL CONNECTION, MAKING PEOPLE FEEL
THE LOSS AND MAKE THEM CRY. MAKE THEM FEEL IT.
>> THIS SONG, I HAVE TO BECOME VULNERABLE, DRAW FROM THAT FULL
LIFE EXPERIENCE OF UPS AND DOWNS, FULLY EMBODY THE EMOTION
OF WHAT THESE LYRICS ARE AND DELIVER THAT.

MAKING EVERYBODY VOTE FOR YOU. AND I THINK THAT'S GOING THE
DIFFERENCE. >> THANK YOU, JOHN.

MOVING. IT WAS JUST WHAT YOU NEEDED TO
DO. THANK YOU SO MUCH, BRYAN.
THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL. >> THANKS, JOHN.

UP TO THE PLATE IN THIS PERFORMANCE.
IT'S GOING TO BE A GOOD ONE. >> ALL YOUR OTHER PERFORMANCES
HAVE BEEN INCREDIBLE. I HOPE YOUR DANCE IS AMAZING.
HAVING SOMETHING LIKE THIS WHERE WE CAN FOCUS ON KAREN, I THINK
THIS IS A GAME-CHAINING PERFORMANCE FOR YOU.
>> YEAH. >> I THINK THE BIGGEST PART OF
THIS SONG IS GOING TO BE REALLY TAPPING INTO THAT STORYTELLING
SIDE. >> RIGHT, TOTALLY.
>> THAT VULNERABILITY, THAT TONE IN YOUR VOICE, THAT'S WHAT
PEOPLE ARE GOING TO FEEL FAR BEYOND JUST THE NOTES THAT
YOU'RE HITTING. >> BEING ON THE ROAD IS A ROLLER
COASTER BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO LEARN HOW TO DEAL WITH THE
CHALLENGES OF THE ROAD. AND I THINK IT MAKES YOU HAVE
TOUGH SKIN. SO IT'S SCARY TO BE THIS OPEN
AND VULNERABLE. DAN AND SHAY ARE PUSHING ME
OUTSIDE OF MY COMFORT ZONE, AND I'M HAPPY THEY'RE DOING THAT,
BECAUSE I HAVE TO GROW. * BABY WHY DON'T YOU STAY *
>> WHETHER IT'S A PAST BREAKUP, WHETHER YOU'RE JUST THINKING
ABOUT YOUR FAMILY BACK HOME. >> RIGHT.

VULNERABLE MOMENT, BUT I FELT IT.
YOU WORE YOUR HEART ON YOUR SLEEVE IN THAT MOMENT.
I'M SO PROUD OF YOU. THANK YOU FOR TRUSTING US.

SELMA HAS GIVEN ME A FOUNDATION I DON'T BELIEVE I WOULD HAVE
GOTTEN ANYWHERE ELSE. THE PEOPLE THAT ARE IN SELMA
UNDERSTAND WHAT IT MEANS TO COME FROM SMALL BEGINNINGS AND FACE
THE WORLD. SEE THE BEAUTIFUL EXAMPLE ON HOW
TO HANDLE ADVERSITY GRACEFULLY AND RISE ABOVE IT, AND STILL
STAND. AND AS AN ARTIST, EVERY TIME I
STAND ON STAGE, I JUST FEEL LIKE THIS TRICK THAT SELMA HAS TAUGHT
ME ALWAYS SHOWS UP AND CATAPULTS ME FORWARD.
>> HOW ARE YOU FEELING TODAY? >> I AM HONESTLY FILLED WITH
ANXIETY ABOUT THIS SONG. >> WHY?
>> BEYONCE, UPTEMPO. THIS SONG IS GOING TO PUSH ME.
