[ NBC theme tones play ]
Man: This is going to be a great show.
It's going to be a stunning show.
Welcome to the Season 28 playoffs premiere.
Reba: Tonight is all about Team Reba and Team Bublé.
We've got some powerhouses.
Let's go out today and hope that these kids,
these artists have a great time.
Michael: Our four artists each come out.
We get to choose one, an almost impossible decision.
Daly: Give it up for your Season 28 coaches.
-Come on! -You hear those screams?
Aah! Next up are the live finals.
Everything is high stakes.
Niall: America can vote for two people to make it to the finale.
One from tonight's show and one from next week's show.
Alright, alright, alright.
Tonight we're going to kick off the playoffs with two teams.
We'll do Team Bublé and Team Reba.
They can each only pick one of their artists
to represent them in our live finale.
But that is not all. At the end of the night,
we're going to open up voting for the first time this season,
and then you will vote
and send one of tonight's remaining artists
to also fill a spot in our top six.
Good luck. Good luck, good luck.
Let's kick things off with a very determined artist
who's worked very hard to get to this point in the competition.
You're the only one with kids.
How you handling all of this?
Man, it's tough to be away,
but every round is a blessing and I'm just happy to be here.
Reba: Aaron loves his family.
He loves country music.
Aaron is my cowboy.
* Hey * Snoop: Aaron --
He's been out there with that guitar strumming
and plucking and pressing his luck.
He had that -- mm! -- that star power.
* I was born in the rain on the Pontchartrain *
Hey!
Reba: I used my Mic Drop
because he is seasoned.
When you playing four- and five-hour sets down
on Broadway in Nashville,
you have an education that's priceless.
Aaron: For the playoffs, I'm singing
"Beer Never Broke My Heart."
This is the first fun, like, party song I get to do.
I'm one step away from the live finale.
So I'm very excited to get to show that side of me.
Way to go. So fun. Thank you.
Man: Okay, here we go. [ Cheers and applause ]
Come on, man.
Daly: With "Beer Never Broke My Heart,"
here's Aaron Nichols.
[ Cheers and applause continue ]
**
Aaron: Come on!
**
* I had a largemouth bass bust my line *
* A couple beautiful girls tell me goodbye *
* Trucks break down, dogs run off *
* Politicians lie, been fired by the boss *
* It takes one hand to count the things I can count on *
* No, there ain't much, man, that ain't never let me down *
* Long-neck, ice-cold beer never broke my heart *
* Like diamond rings and football teams *
* Torn this boy apart *
* Like a neon dream, it just dawned on me *
* That bars and this guitar *
* Long-neck, ice-cold beer never broke my heart *
**
* Yeah *
* She was a Carolina blue-jean baby *
* Fire in her eyes that drove me crazy *
* It was red taillights when she left town *
* If I didn't know then, I sure know now *
* It takes one hand to count the things I can count on *
* But right now I'm gripping down on a cold one *
* Long-neck, ice-cold beer never broke my heart *
* Like diamond rings and football teams *
* Torn this boy apart *
* Like a neon dream, it just dawned on me *
* That bars and this guitar *
* Long-neck, ice-cold beer never broke my heart *
* Oh, oh, yeah *
**
* It never broke my heart *
* Yeah, yeah *
**
[ Cheers and applause ]
Daly: That is Aaron Nichols, ladies and gentlemen.
Reba: Way to go, Aaron! Good job!
Daly: That is playoff material
-right there from Team Reba. -Oh, yeah!
Snoop, what'd you think?
Aaron "Cold as an icicle" McNichols.
[ Laughter ] I love it.
Snoop: You performed like a superstar,
the way you managed the band,
the way you controlled the guitar,
the way you sung.
I feel like you can't lose with him.
I agree, I agree. Way to go, baby.
Let's see what your coach thinks. Reba.
How did it feel to be back on stage again?
Felt like I was at home in Nashville.
You saw these lights, right?
I know.
You did wonderful in rehearsal.
But this -- Cherry on top. Way to go.
Thank you so much. How about another big hand for Aaron Nichols, everybody?
Thank you, Aaron. Each coach can only pick one artist.
That's really hard.
Thank you, guys.
So what I'm looking for is who is ready for the finale.
Who's going to step up to the plate?
I love Aaron's voice.
It's very raspy, Chris Stapleton-esque.
He set the bar real high, but I got three more to see.
So, I'm going to choose one of your artists, Reba.
Okay. And then I'll choose yours.
[ Laughter ]
Hey. Exciting news -- Universal Studios Hollywood's
first-ever high-speed outdoor roller coaster
is set to launch in 2026 --
Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift.
You and three guests could win a vacation
to experience firsthand this thrilling ride.
For more information and to enter a chance to win,
Head over to the "Voice" app or NBC.com/voicesweeps.
* This is "The Voice" *
Daly: Welcome back to the playoffs.
Man: Okay, folks, take your places, please.
Geez, I can't wait to hear this.
Did you pick this, Bublé?
Yeah. Monster.
I wanted to take it to church a little bit.
Oh!
What's it like singing for you?
All things go away,
all of my fears, all of my problems. Yeah.
Once I'm here, I can kind of just be myself.
Jazz: To be here in the playoffs,
I'm so full of gratitude.
I'm beyond thankful.
* Whoa, what's love *
Michael: Jazz is technically and without a doubt
the best vocalist I've ever heard on this show.
From the first moment I heard her,
it's effortless, man.
Jazz is my bold breakout diva.
You come out here with all that emotion
and oh, my God, I just want to fight in a cage with somebody.
Back home, * I was working 9 to 5 *
Now here we are.
I'm chasing my dream.
Niall: Jazz is one of the better singers I've ever heard.
Perfection.
You don't even look like you're trying at all.
It's not fair. [ Laughter ]
We chose a song. Why do you think it's perfect for you?
Jazz: "Don't Stop Believin'" --
It's literally the mantra to my life. Yeah.
Never stop believing 'cause it can definitely happen.
If it can happen for me, it can happen for anybody else.
Singing "Don't Stop Believin'," here's Jazz McKenzie.
Come on, Jazz.
[ Cheers and applause ]
**
* Just a small-town girl *
[ Cheers and applause ]
* Livin' in a lonely world *
* She took the midnight train going anywhere *
* Oh, oh *
* Just a city boy *
* Born and raised in South Detroit *
[ Cheers and applause ]
* He took the midnight train going anywhere *
**
* A singer in a smoky room *
* The smell of wine and cheap perfume *
* For a smile they can share the night *
* It goes on and on and on and on *
* Strangers waitin', yeah *
* Up and down the boulevard *
* Their shadows, they're searchin' in the night *
* Oh, oh *
* Streetlights, people *
* Livin' just to find emotion *
* Hidin' somewhere in the night *
* Everybody sing it, say *
* Don't stop believin' *
* Yeah *
* Hold on to that feelin' *
* Streetlights, people *
* Oh, oh *
* Everybody sing it, say *
* Don't stop believin' *
* Yeah *
* Hold on to that feelin' *
* Streetlights, people *
* Oh, oh, oh *
* Don't stop believin' *
[ Cheers and applause ] Put her out!
* Oh, thank you, Jesus *
-Yeah! -Put that girl out.
Daly: That is Jazz McKenzie, everybody.
Need a fire extinguisher.
Team Bublé.
-Whoo-hoo! -Ah!
Niall? Jazz, there is zero that you can't do.
You are a ridiculous singer.
You're on a different planet. Thank you.
If you don't put her in the finals,
our friendship of 25 years is over.
[ Laughter ]
That's a lot of pressure.
Coach Bublé.
I think that's the first time anybody's heard Journey's
"Don't Stop Believin'" with new lyrics that end
"Thank you, Jesus."
[ Laughter ]
I got goose bumps. That was amazing.
How about another big hand for Jazz McKenzie, everybody?
Michael: Jazz reminds me of the greatest singers who ever lived,
from Streisand to Franklin to Celine.
I mean, she's up there.
Best coach.
What I'm looking for isn't the voice as much.
I know that they can sing.
Incredible.
It's the ability to know that in their moment,
can they step into the ring and land a knockout punch?
Now it's a current indie rock hit by Team Reba's
L.A. rocker Ryan Mitchell.
Snoop: And, Ryan, remember this. Aww.
Each one of us have been told no, but it didn't stop us.
Reba: Ryan -- what a roller coaster he's been on.
* I must confess, I still believe *
[ Cheers and applause ]
It's good to see you again.
Reba: Ryan is my Carson Callback.
Niall: To see him smash it in his battle,
nail it in his knockout,
Ryan has taken that opportunity by the scruff of the neck.
We're making a name for the rockers out there.
Oh, yeah. Someone called me
"Lord of the Rings" the other day.
-[ Laughter ] -* Oh, yeah *
Snoop: Ryan Mitchell reminded me of when I first came out,
'92, '93, that alternative rock.
He just sounded like he was one of the lead singers.
What key do you want? Down four semitones in G-sharp major.
Well, that went right over my hairspray. [ Laughing ]
For the playoffs, I'm going to be singing
"Undressed" by Sombr.
It's such a major hit.
-Touchdown! -Alright.
I'm hoping to take this tune to a whole new level.
Going from a no-chair turn to a finalist would be incredible.
With "Undressed," here's Ryan Mitchell.
[ Cheers and applause ]
**
* You had a dream, you wanted better *
* You were sick of all the holes in your sweater *
* You looked to me and wondered whether *
* I was the lamppost to which you were tethered *
* I'm lookin' at you and you're lookin' at me *
* But the glimmer in your eyes is sayin' you wanna leave *
* You say you don't mean what you're sayin' to me *
* But the glimmer in your eyes is telling me other things *
* I don't wanna get undressed *
* For a new person all over again *
* I don't wanna kiss someone else's neck *
* And have to pretend it's yours instead *
[ Cheers and applause ]
* Whoa, oh, oh *
* I took the train to see my mother *
* I look across the tracks and see you with another *
* I'm lookin' at you and you're lookin' at me *
* But the glimmer in your eyes is sayin' you wanna leave *
* You say you don't mean what you're sayin' to me *
* But the glimmer in your eyes is telling me other things *
* And I don't wanna learn another scent *
Wow, Reba. * I don't want the children of another man *
* To have the eyes of the girl *
* I won't forge-e-e-e-e-et *
* I won't forge-e-e-e-e-e-e-et *
* I don't wanna get undressed *
* For a new person all over again *
* I don't wanna kiss someone else's neck *
* And have to pretend it's yours instead *
* I don't wanna get undressed *
* For a new person all over again *
Whoo!
[ Cheers and applause ]
Daly: Give it up for Ryan Mitchell, ladies and gentlemen.
That's alright, bud. Sounded great.
How about that, Niall?
What an amazing story of the Carson Callback.
But the levels that you're taking to,
it felt like we were at your show.
Thank you, Niall. Coach Reba.
You just keep giving more every time.
I think it's instinctual.
I love what you're bringing to the show.
So thank you for a great performance.
I am so proud of you. Thank you, Reba.
How about another big hand for Ryan Mitchell, everybody?
Ryan: The pressure's on, so I really hope I did enough
to make it in the top six, whether that's Reba picking me
to go forward or getting voted in by America.
That was really good. Again.
Oh, my God.
* This is "The Voice" *
Daly: Welcome back to "The Voice."
Trinity, how are you feeling?
I feel amazing just sitting here right now
with the final four because I'm not like some huge artist yet.
Yet. Yet.
Michael: Trinity is the quintessential superstar.
* There'll be some love making *
* Heartbreaking, soul-shaking love *
Michael: Trinity's voice just really soars.
She's able to make any genre her own.
* Ohhh *
Michael: You know, she's the whole package.
She just oozes that X-factor.
Reba: You're singing your runs.
You're a powerhouse.
Trinity -- She's just amazing.
So proud. I tried to steal Trinity,
but she stayed with Michael.
Her style is totally different from anybody else on the show.
She's very regal. * Do anything, yeah *
Whoo!
Niall: You're just a superstar.
There's, like, an aura around you.
Trinity: For the playoffs, I finally get to dive
into my love for rock.
You just sang something that was amazing.
Axl Rosita? It's a little something.
It's a great opportunity for me to let loose
and show a different side of my artistry.
With "Barracuda," here's Trinity.
[ Cheers and applause ]
**
* Oh-oh-oh *
* So this ain't the end, I saw you again today *
* I had to turn my heart away *
* Smile like the sun, kisses for everyone *
* And tales, it never fails *
* You lyin' so low in the weeds *
* I bet you gonna ambush me *
* You'd have me down, down, down, down on my knees *
* Now wouldn't you? *
* Barracuda *
[ Cheers and applause ]
* Oh, yeah *
* Back over time, we were all tryin' for free *
* You met the porpoise and me *
* Uh-huh *
* No right, no wrong, selling a song *
* A name, whisper game *
* And if the real thing don't do the trick *
* No, you better make up something quick *
* You gonna burn, burn, burn, burn, burn to the wick *
* Oooooh *
* Ooh, barra-barracuda, yeah *
* "Sell me, sell you" the porpoise said *
* "Dive down deep, now, save my head" *
* You *
* I think that you got the blues, too *
* All that night and all the next *
* Swam without lookin' back *
* Made for the western pools *
* Silly, silly fools *
* Oh, the real thing don't do the trick *
* No, you better make up something quick *
* Gonna burn, burn, burn, bu-u-u-u-u-urn *
* Ohhhhh *
* Ooh, barra-barracuda *
[ Cheers and applause ]
Daly: Give it up for Trinity from Team Bublé
here in the playoffs!
Wow, wow, wow.
My goodness. Way to go.
Snoop. Trinity is three, right?
'Cause I done seen three different
versions of you already. [ Laughter ]
You was up there rocking out.
I'm overwhelmed with your abilities to take your vocals
and put them in any genre of music that you please.
Bublé, she just moved up in my book, so.
Aw! Coach Bublé.
I expected it because what
you might not know, this was Trinity's song choice.
Oh, wow. Mm. Go, girl.
Yeah. You're so quiet in real life,
yet you have so much confidence as an artist.
A lot of entertainers finish,
and we feel the need to sort of say
thank you, thank you. Yeah.
I feel like you finished that song and went,
"You're welcome." [ Laughter ]
You just have all of the elements
that it takes to be a real star.
[ Mouthing ] How about another big hand for Trinity, everybody?
Thank you, Trinity. Whoo!
Rock out, girl.
She did great. She did great. She really did.
Now it's Team Reba's country singer from Pennsylvania
who's taking on a #1 hit, Aubrey Nicole.
What has been the greatest thing about being on "The Voice"?
Not to be biased, but obviously being on your team.
Aw! I paid her to say that.
Aubrey is so sweet and with the emotion in her voice,
she always touches my heart.
You know, sound penetrates walls and boy,
it went through this chair and hit my heart.
Aubrey was another one-chair turn.
It's just an aura around her.
I would call her my heart of gold.
Man, one-chair turns and y'all made it to the playoffs.
-That's crazy. -Wow.
I'm just so glad to still be here.
* I'm gonna love you through it *
Whoa!
Aubrey's always been on my mind
as like a dark horse in the competition.
Now she stood up right to the front.
Let her rip, tater chip.
I'll be singing "Black Velvet" by Alannah Myles.
I really want to bring something big to the playoffs
without being overly emotional.
I just want to tell the story with my voice.
It's just not the sweet song like you may sing.
Yes. So attitude.
I feel like Reba really believes in me
and I would love to be her finalist.
With "Black Velvet," here's Aubrey Nicole.
[ Cheers and applause ]
**
* Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh *
* Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell *
* Jimmy Rogers on the Victrola up high *
* Mama's dancin' with the baby on her shoulder *
* The sun is settin' like molasses in the sky *
* Boy could sing, knew how to move, everything *
* Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for *
* Black velvet and that little boy's smile *
* Black velvet with that slow Southern style *
* A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees *
* Black velvet if you please *
[ Cheers and applause ] Wow.
* Every word of every song that he sang was for you *
* Oh, oh *
* In a flash, he was gone *
* It happened so soon *
* Ooh, what could you do? *
[ Cheers and applause ]
* Oh, yeah *
* Black velvet and that little boy's smile *
* Black velvet with that slow Southern style *
* A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees *
* Black velvet *
* If you *
* Ple-e-e-e-e-e-ase *
[ Cheers and applause ]
Daly: "Voice" playoffs happening tonight.
That's Aubrey Nicole from Team Reba.
Wow!
-[ Laughing ] -Golly!
Niall, we're gonna start with you, my friend.
Wow. Those last two performances from you
deserve a place in the finale. There's no doubt about it.
You were so, so strong from the first note
you hit to the last one
and just showed us another side to you
that we haven't seen before.
Wow. She's special, this girl.
You bet. Thank you so much.
Reba, what did you think?
First of all, I love this song.
And I thought, "Now, how is Aubrey going to do this?"
And then you step out here on this stage,
and, girl, you owned it.
Thank you. I was blown away.
You sing your butt off. You're gorgeous.
And you've got great stage appeal, too.
You're the perfect package. Thank you.
How about another big hand for Aubrey Nicole,
ladies and gentlemen? [ Cheers and applause ]
When Aaron came out, I was impressed.
When Ryan came out, totally impressed.
You brought it.
And then when Aubrey came out,
it was a swampy, kind of sexy, mysterious song.
It showed a different side that I really needed to see.
Boy, it's going to be hard selecting which one moves
on to the finale because they're all so good.
When we come back, more incredible performances
by Team Bublé and Team Reba.
And later, you'll get to vote
and send an artist to the finale.
This is "The Voice" Season 28 playoffs on NBC.
* This is "The Voice" *
Daly: Welcome back to the playoffs at Universal Studios Hollywood.
Man: Stand by.
Hey, Rob, you sing this to your babies and your wife.
Aww. I'll be crying.
Aw, Bublé, why'd you say that?
He won't sing one note. I'll be crying my eyes out.
You're right. Okay, don't sing this
to your girls and your wife.
Sing it to my wife. Rob: Your wife?
Ooh, Roberto!
[ Laughter ]
Michael: Rob Cole is my comeback superstar.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Michael: I love you so much that I blocked you.
Season 25, he was a no-chair turn,
and now this dude is one minute away
from getting through to the finals.
* It's a little old piece of heaven *
* When we lay down at night *
Rob, you told the story so well.
Rob, congratulations.
You're moving on to the playoffs.
Rob's mellow, under the radar.
He's nothing flamboyant.
He's just a great singer, and that's all he has to do.
I had the most vivid dream,
and I was singing "I Hope You Dance."
And I woke up the next morning singing the song.
And then you called. Right.
You said, "Hey, I think I've got the song."
Yeah. "Lee Ann Womack."
As soon as you said that, I said, "'I Hope You Dance.'"
Yeah. And I was like...
That's crazy.
Singing this song feels meant to be.
It very much describes where I'm at in life as a father.
I want to be that dad that pushes my kids to -- to dream,
to go out on the edge, to go for it.
Man: Okay, here we go.
With "I Hope You Dance," here is Rob Cole.
[ Cheers and applause ]
**
* I hope you never lose your sense of wonder *
* You get your fill to eat, but always keep that hunger *
* May you never take one single breath for granted *
Ooh!
* God forbid love ever leave you empty-handed *
* I hope you still feel small *
* When you stand beside the ocean *
* Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens *
* Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance *
* And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance *
* I hope you dance *
* Yeah *
* I hope you dance *
* Yeah *
* Don't let some hell-bent heart leave you bitter *
* When you come close to selling out, reconsider *
* Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance *
* And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance *
* Da-a-a... *
Oh, I love that.
* ...a-a-nce *
* Oh, whoa *
* Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance *
* And when you get the choice *
* Oh, just make the choice *
* To dance *
[ Cheers and applause ] That was amazing.
Reba: That's sweet.
Way to go.
Daly: Rob Cole, ladies and gentlemen.
Wow, we got some talent on these two teams.
I don't know how you guys are gonna
make these decisions coming up.
Reba, what did you think? It touched my heart.
You just take a real soft song like that
and just make it better.
Great job. Thank you so much.
Snoop? I'm over here sweet on you, Rob.
[ Laughter ]
Michael Bublé? Yes, sir?
This is somebody that I would take to the studio
and make a real record with
because he's got superstar potential.
Great job, Rob. Thank you so much.
Daly: How about another big hand
for Rob Cole, everybody, Team Bublé?
Michael: Rob was flawless tonight.
He truly knows how to touch hearts.
Jazz -- For me, I think it's very rare
to hear a voice that perfect.
Trinity always looks like she was meant to be
on that Grammy stage.
I'm ambitious, and in the quest to three-peat,
there's gonna be a tough decision,
but I'm gonna have to put my faith in America
that they'll help me in bringing
a couple of my people to the finals.
Niall: Rob, that was amazing, brother. Way to go. Very good.
Really, really beautiful. Oh, wow.
That was so good.
I need a tissue.
* This is "The Voice" *
Daly: Welcome back.
I've gone from thinking I knew to not knowing.
I'm that way, too.
Man: One minute, one minute.
It's just so much fun, all the stuff
that we have gotten to do together.
This has been the coolest summer camp of my life.
Love that.
Peyton can sing anything.
Bruno in the blinds, Crowded House, Gavin DeGraw.
You Peyton-ize them. [ Laughter ]
Peyton -- I am very surprised every time he steps on stage
by the song selection or the way he does it,
the way he dresses.
Peyton is my chameleon.
* Don't want to be anything other than me *
Peyton, you have changed so much.
My mom might be a little jealous that some of the outfits
look a little more superstar-esque now
from when she was dressing me as a small child.
[ Laughter ]
Peyton: Before I got here, I was gigging full time
in North Georgia and singing on small bar stages.
Now I'm on "The Voice," and I have an opportunity
to make it to the finals.
Saying that out loud is wild.
Reba: He's done a little soul. He's also done a little rock.
So, he's very versatile, and he's going for it.
Singing "Hold Back the River," here's Peyton Kyle.
[ Cheers and applause ]
**
* Trying to keep you close to me *
* But life got in between *
[ Audience cheers ]
* Tried to square not being there *
* But it's there that I should have been *
[ Rhythmic clapping ]
* Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes *
* Hold back the river so I *
* Can stop for a minute and see where you hide *
* Hold back the river, hold back *
[ Cheers and applause ]
* Once upon a different life *
Whoo!
* Oh, we rode our bikes into the sky *
[ Cheers and applause ]
* Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes *
* Hold back the river so I * * So I *
* Can stop for a minute and be by your side *
* Hold back the river *
* Hold back *
* Lonely water *
* Won't you let us wander? *
Yeah!
* Let us hold each other *
* Lonely water *
* Won't you let us wander? *
* Let us hold each othe-e-er *
* Hold back the river so I *
* Can me stop for a minute and be by your side *
* Hold back the river *
* Oh, ohhhh *
* Lonely water *
* Won't you let us wander? *
* Let us hold each other *
[ Cheers and applause ]
Daly: Team Reba, Peyton Kyle.
The playoffs, with some tough decisions coming up. Whoo! Whoo!
Oh, yeah! Let's start with Snoop Dogg.
The way you took your time and worked your beginning,
and then when you got big at the end --
like, you just feel like that artist
that I would be smoking, riding, banging your music,
like, "Yeah, that's Kyle that was on 'The Voice.'
Yeah, that's -- that's him."
Coach Reba?
You give a lot in rehearsals,
but, man, you give it all you have
when you get on stage.
You've got what it takes.
I am so proud of you. Come on.
Everybody all over the world
can see how good you are. Way to go.
How about another big hand for Peyton Kyle, everybody?
Niall: Peyton has just become a real artist on this show.
He's got a great tone.
He can do crazy things with his voice.
Just speaking to Reba and Bublé,
they are so stuck on who they're gonna pick.
It really makes me think about next week
and how nervous I'm gonna be.
Now the 14-year-old soulful pop singer from Louisiana.
Here's more from Team Bublé's Max Chambers.
* Oh, baby, give me one more chance *
Michael: Max is a superstar.
His voice is flawless,
and I'm watching him grow exponentially every week.
He is my 14-year-old phenom.
I see you on stage, and I see this maturity.
I can't imagine me at 14 sitting here.
No. Not cool at all.
[ Laughter ] * Whoa, ohhh *
Snoop: Max -- he's a young man with a grown-man voice
and a beautiful heart and spirit.
He's got the "it" factor.
A star is born. Amen.
Oh!
Man, you won my heart over out there, brother Max.
Max: To think that I was just a high-school student
and now I'm here?
[ Cheers and applause ]
I'm so grateful that Coach Bublé
believed in me enough to press his Mic Drop button for me.
I'm super excited.
We chose "A Change Is Gonna Come" by Sam Cooke.
I love this song. I'm gonna sing it for my family,
and I'm gonna sing it for the world. That's awesome.
I think we're about to see playoff Max.
I can't wait to hear this.
Yeah. Me neither.
* This is "The Voice" *
Daly: Welcome back to the playoffs.
[ Cheers and applause ] Reba: Come on, Max.
With "A Change Is Gonna Come," here is Max Chambers.
[ Cheers and applause continue ]

* I was born by the river *
* In a little tent *
* Oh, and just like the river *
* I've been running ever since *
* It's been a long *
* A long time coming *
* But I know *
* A change gon' come *
* Oh, yes, it will *
* I go to the movie *
* And I go downtown *
* Somebody keeps telling me *
* "Don't hang around" *
* It's been a long *
* A long time coming *
* But I know *
* A change gon' come *
* Oh, yes, it will *
* Then I go to my brother *
* And I say, "Brother, help me, please" *
* But he winds up *
* Knockin' me *
* Knockin' me down on my knees *
* Ohh *
* There's been times that I thought *
* I couldn't last for long *
* Now I think I'm able to carry on *
* It's been a long *
* A long time coming *
* But I know *
* A change gon' come *
* Ohh, yes *
* Yes, it will *
[ Cheers and applause ]
Daly: That is young Max Chambers in the playoffs.
Niall: Oh, no.
This guy is talented.
We'll get to his coach in a second.
Let's start with Snoop Dogg.
Let me gather myself.
[ Laughter ]
I feel like, Bublé... Yes?
...that's the winner of "The Voice."
[ Cheers and applause ] Thank you.
It's real funny 'cause you can be real quiet and shy
and then step up to the pulpit
and people just listen.
And you, Max, in every way
I couldn't have asked to be better.
So, thank you so much, Max Chambers.
You killed it. How about another big hand
for Max Chambers?
What a night of performances from both coaches.
Snoop: Team Bublé -- he's got some vocalists
that could win "The Voice."
But we've only been given one vote to make it to the finals.
It's gonna be a lot of pressure.
Reba, if I was you,
it would be between those two for me.
Me, too. Both. And for you, Bublé,
I would go that or that. What a dilemma.
I don't envy you picking between them two.
I agree 100%.
Glad I don't have to make that decision.
I can just sit back, relax,
drink some fruit punch, and call it a day.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Whoo!
Throughout the night, we have seen
all of the incredible performances
from Team Bublé, and now it is time
to find out who he picks to represent him
in the live finale.
Here we go, everybody.
[ Cheers and applause ]
[ Dramatic music plays ]
Michael can only pick one to represent him in the finale.
Is there anything you want to say to your whole team?
This is just the beginning of the trip for y'all.
Once these cameras shut off, I'm still your guy.
So this isn't the end, guys. It's just the beginning.
[ Cheers and applause ]
And now the time has come, Michael.
Who is moving on?
**
Carson...
...my finalist...
**
...is Jazz McKenzie.
[ Cheers and applause ] Jazz, congratulations!
Jazz's voice has ranged soulfulness, depth.
I want her to be my three-peat.
Can't not with that voice, girlfriend. Thank you.
She is the perfect person to represent Team Bublé.
It's called "The Voice," and she is the greatest voice
that I've ever had on here.
For the rest of Team Bublé, it is not over yet.
America's votes will send one remaining artist to that finale.
We will see you three in just a minute.
Thank you very much. Give it up again for Team Bublé.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Thank you, guys.
And now that we have locked in Michael's finals,
it is time to turn our attention to Team Reba.
Reba: All four of my artists stepped up to the plate.
They knocked it out of the ballpark.
I don't know what I'm gonna do.
Aaron, Ryan, Aubrey, and Peyton are here now.
How are you feeling about the moment?
Well, I know you've made connections.
You've taken the advice from world-famous mentors.
The learning experience is incredible,
and I love you all with all my heart.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Alright, Reba, it is the moment of truth.
Whew.
Who is the artist moving on?
[ Dramatic music playing ]
Carson, my finalist is...
...Aubrey. Aubrey!
Stunned by her coach's decision to pick her!
[ Cheers and applause ]
I chose Aubrey because she has a way
of portraying a lot of emotion,
and that's what music is supposed to be about.
Thank you so much! Reba: You're very welcome.
You deserved it, girl.
I definitely think Aubrey has a shot
to win the whole competition.
Aubrey: Thank you. I love you guys.
I'm so grateful for Reba.
I can't believe I'm going to the live finale.
Daly: So, let's go ahead and bring back
the remaining artists from Team Bublé, please.
Alright, everybody, the power is completely in your hands
to pick one of these artists.
Voting is open now on the "Voice" official app
and NBC.com. It closes tomorrow,
7:00 a.m. Eastern Time.
[ Laughs ]
And next week, Team Snoop,
Team Niall -- it'll be their artists' turn to take the stage.
I'm Carson Daly. Thank you for watching.
Get voting. Good night.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Snoop: Team Reba, Team Michael, y'all set the bar high.
But you all know I'm the highest in the room.
Make sure you tune in next week to see Team Niall and --
you know the best team on "The Voice," right? --
Team Snoop.
