Nick:
Big day, battle rounds.
2
00:00:08,133 --> 00:00:09,676
Think Blake just finished
his mandatory nap --
3
00:00:09,718 --> 00:00:11,886
as an old man, he requires it --
and John should be --
4
00:00:11,928 --> 00:00:14,139
Oh, there he is!
You got a new haircut.
I like it.
5
00:00:14,180 --> 00:00:15,974
I got a new haircut,
some new shoes.
6
00:00:16,016 --> 00:00:17,350
I don't think those shoes
are new.
7
00:00:17,392 --> 00:00:19,352
They're a little beat up.
I was gonna ask,
8
00:00:19,394 --> 00:00:21,187
did you walk through a
construction zone to get here?
9
00:00:21,229 --> 00:00:23,898
I did, I did, I did.
You blew through
your entire wardrobe budget?
10
00:00:23,940 --> 00:00:25,692
As always.
Where's Kelly, though?
11
00:00:25,734 --> 00:00:27,694
I don't know.
She's probably on her talk show.
12
00:00:27,736 --> 00:00:29,612
Yeah.

Give it up for our coaches,
14

Whoo! Yeah!

00:00:35,243 --> 00:00:37,579
...and Blake Shelton!
16
00:00:37,620 --> 00:00:39,914

she was also our fifth coach...
No Kelly?

that I want *

Nice.
Boys, take your seats.
26
00:01:00,602 --> 00:01:02,228
Welcome, Kelsea.
Kelsea: Hi, guys!
27
00:01:02,270 --> 00:01:03,480
Thanks for having me!
How are you?
28
00:01:03,521 --> 00:01:05,899
This is shocking!
Two Nashville people?
29
00:01:05,940 --> 00:01:07,859
Uh-oh! Uh-oh!
Oh, my gosh.

00:01:09,110 --> 00:01:11,071
Welcome to the battles,
everybody.
32
00:01:11,112 --> 00:01:12,906
Unfortunately,
our own Kelly Clarkson
33
00:01:12,947 --> 00:01:14,574
was not feeling well this week.
34
00:01:14,616 --> 00:01:16,743
And while she did not
test positive for COVID,
35
00:01:16,785 --> 00:01:20,163
as you can imagine, we've
got some very strict
guidelines on our set.
36
00:01:20,205 --> 00:01:23,291
Kelly's staying at home,
but she's watching
the battles remotely.
37
00:01:23,333 --> 00:01:25,210
She's gonna be
checking in with you.
38

How are you feeling
about being here?
39
00:01:26,670 --> 00:01:28,630
This is incredible.
I'm such a fan of Kelly's.
40
00:01:28,672 --> 00:01:30,256
I'm actually
in her fan club,
41
00:01:30,298 --> 00:01:31,800
and I've gotten to open
for her on tour.
42
00:01:31,841 --> 00:01:34,177
I was her adviser a couple
years ago on this show.
43
00:01:34,219 --> 00:01:37,347
So I feel like we're
kind of kindred, and I
know what she likes.
44
00:01:37,389 --> 00:01:39,391
Just pretend I'm Kelly.
You're gonna be awesome.
45
00:01:39,432 --> 00:01:40,809
John, any advice for Kelsea?
46
00:01:40,850 --> 00:01:42,227
No, no advice.
47
00:01:42,268 --> 00:01:43,770
We're still
trying to defeat you, Kelsea,
48
00:01:43,812 --> 00:01:45,605
as though you were
Kelly Clarkson.
49
00:01:45,647 --> 00:01:48,358
Just know that Blake's gonna
try to play mind games with you.
50
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,443
In all of the advice
I've gotten from Kelly,
51
00:01:50,485 --> 00:01:53,238
the -- the main one is keep
the rivalry going.
52
00:01:53,279 --> 00:01:54,614
I was just about to say
53
00:01:54,656 --> 00:01:57,617
that I like this show
better already
54

with you here...
55
00:01:59,327 --> 00:02:00,787
You're gonna get me
in trouble.
...instead of Kelly.
56
00:02:00,829 --> 00:02:03,123
But now I take it back.
Bring it on, Kelsea.
57
00:02:03,164 --> 00:02:04,332
Bring it on.
Kelsea, welcome.

fitting right here.

Thank you, thank you.
Let the battles begin!

Kelly:
Welcome back to the show.
61
00:02:11,464 --> 00:02:12,799
You've been here before.
I'm happy to be here.
62
00:02:12,841 --> 00:02:14,759
Thank you for having me.
I am so happy!
63
00:02:14,801 --> 00:02:19,347
This season I brought in one of
my favorite people, Luis Fonsi.
64
00:02:19,389 --> 00:02:22,100
I think people probably know him
best as "Despacito."
65
00:02:22,142 --> 00:02:23,977
* Despacito*

00:02:24,019 --> 00:02:26,479
* Quiero desnudarte
a besos despacito*

00:02:26,521 --> 00:02:27,981
I kind of have
a leg up this time
68
00:02:28,023 --> 00:02:29,482
because you're
a voice coach.
69
00:02:29,524 --> 00:02:31,067
Yeah, I've done this
before a few times...
70
00:02:31,109 --> 00:02:33,278
Yeah.
...but it's the first time
I do it in English.
71
00:02:33,319 --> 00:02:34,529
Oh, that's true.
So it's exciting.
72
00:02:34,571 --> 00:02:35,989
I've had the pleasure
to be a coach
73
00:02:36,031 --> 00:02:38,158
in Chile, in Spain, U.S.
"La Voz,"
74
00:02:38,199 --> 00:02:42,996
and I've also been a mentor
in Colombia, Mexico, Peru.
75
00:02:43,038 --> 00:02:44,873
This is one of my favorite parts
of the show...
Yeah.
76
00:02:44,914 --> 00:02:47,000
...because this is
when, you know, kinda
we get in there and...
77
00:02:47,042 --> 00:02:48,460
Yeah.
...and have fun with them.
78
00:02:48,501 --> 00:02:50,337

you have screwed yourself...
79
00:02:50,378 --> 00:02:51,755

like,
80
00:02:51,796 --> 00:02:53,465
you -- you're like...
Yes! Yes!

00:02:53,506 --> 00:02:55,425
..."Wait, I didn't know
that you were that good."

is crazy.
Yes!

Well, I'll do my best.

with Spanish music

and then crossed over
into the English lane --

00:03:22,494 --> 00:03:24,037

I want to do.

about my music.

Even the way that I look,
106

but "The Voice" has for sure
107
00:03:51,106 --> 00:03:52,899
helped my insecurities.

And it's so melancholy
and I love that.
109
00:03:54,943 --> 00:03:57,362

how much potential
I have to grow.

So, this is
a little different.
112
00:04:02,409 --> 00:04:03,743
It's a very broken-down
rehearsal.
113
00:04:03,785 --> 00:04:06,663
You get to hear really
what's happening vocally.
114

Um, so I love it.
Yeah, absolutely.

The song "pov,"
Ariana Grande,

and I was like, "They're gonna
think I'm crazy,"
117
00:04:13,837 --> 00:04:17,424
but I think that's really cool
to take massively popular songs
118
00:04:17,465 --> 00:04:18,800
that people know,
119
00:04:18,842 --> 00:04:21,261

artistic spin on it.

but it's so mature.

It's so truthful.

is the perfect representation
140

finally see me

voice that speaks to my soul.

Kelly, I'm gay!
Yes!
147
00:05:23,948 --> 00:05:26,868
I've been on this journey
of me finding myself.
148
00:05:26,910 --> 00:05:28,953
And I feel like
the perfect place for me

151
00:05:33,500 --> 00:05:35,669
I performed at
the Boston Planetarium
152
00:05:35,710 --> 00:05:37,087
very shortly after I came out.
153
00:05:37,128 --> 00:05:39,798
It was just the right time
that I needed it.
154
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,801
That's why I think I relate
to this song by Ariana Grande.
155
00:05:42,842 --> 00:05:45,553
She's gone through so much
in the past couple years,
156
00:05:45,595 --> 00:05:47,347
and I think part
of her spiritual healing
157
00:05:47,389 --> 00:05:50,934
is trying to see herself from
other people's point of view.
158
00:05:50,975 --> 00:05:53,687
That's just such
a powerful statement.

What are we thinking once
we get full band?

Acoustic?
Thank you!
161
00:05:58,108 --> 00:06:00,568
Yeah.
I'm afraid it's gonna
get overwhelmed by music.
162
00:06:00,610 --> 00:06:02,654
And I want them
to hear the breath.
163
00:06:02,696 --> 00:06:05,198
Gean, you're just a hair flat
on that top note.
164
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,367
Yes.
Maybe just put a little bit
more air to it,
165
00:06:07,409 --> 00:06:08,618
or just maybe whisper it.
166
00:06:08,660 --> 00:06:10,537
I love that idea.

It's like a beautiful slap in
the face. You know what I mean?
170
00:06:18,962 --> 00:06:21,047
It's like, pssh, oh,
give me some more!
171
00:06:21,089 --> 00:06:22,966
Yeah, yeah, it was like, it's
okay, I'm into it somehow.
172
00:06:23,008 --> 00:06:25,093
Like that control power...
Okay.
173
00:06:25,135 --> 00:06:27,470
...is -- it keeps people like
on their edge of their seat.
174
00:06:27,512 --> 00:06:29,055
What are your notes,
Ryleigh?
175
00:06:29,097 --> 00:06:30,807
* Couldn't believe it *
* Couldn't believe it *
176
00:06:30,849 --> 00:06:32,350
Is that it?
* Couldn't believe it *
177
00:06:32,392 --> 00:06:34,185
* See it for myself *
Like, make sure you lean --
178
00:06:34,227 --> 00:06:35,603
* Couldn't believe it *
179
00:06:35,645 --> 00:06:38,356
* Na-na-na need myself,
da-da *
180
00:06:38,398 --> 00:06:41,901
I want to feel like what he was
saying, that push and pull...
181
00:06:41,943 --> 00:06:43,403
Mm-hmm.
...and that tension.
182
00:06:43,445 --> 00:06:45,113
Ryleigh's voice
is like tasting honey.
183
00:06:45,155 --> 00:06:47,615
It's like eating ice cream
on a Sunday.
184
00:06:47,657 --> 00:06:49,242
It's something that's pushed me
even more.
185
00:06:49,284 --> 00:06:52,162
This is us being, by the way,
just, like, super picky.
186
00:06:52,203 --> 00:06:55,540
Yeah. This is, like,
advanced level.
187
00:06:55,582 --> 00:06:57,459
Yeah!
It's really great.
188
00:06:57,500 --> 00:07:01,004
But on that day, I want you all
to be vibin' so hard.
189
00:07:01,046 --> 00:07:03,423
I've seen y'all on stage and you
come alive in a different way
190
00:07:03,465 --> 00:07:06,593
and you're both very intense.
Gean, man, you're a Latino
Latin lover.
191
00:07:06,634 --> 00:07:09,179
Bring it!
Kelly: Gean and Ryleigh,
they almost bring each other up
192
00:07:09,220 --> 00:07:11,765
to like another level
when they sing together.
193
00:07:11,806 --> 00:07:12,974
Why did you put these
two voices together?
194
00:07:13,016 --> 00:07:14,434
I didn't -- I --
Here's the thing!
195
00:07:14,476 --> 00:07:16,770
Why?!
Because I want you to be able
196
00:07:16,811 --> 00:07:18,772
to be
the best version of you.
197
00:07:18,813 --> 00:07:21,900
I was so impressed
with the level of artistry.
198
00:07:21,941 --> 00:07:24,277
I did not see that coming.
Thank you.
199
00:07:24,319 --> 00:07:25,904
Bye, guys.
Amazing.
200
00:07:25,945 --> 00:07:27,947
I don't know how Kelly
is gonna choose.
201
00:07:27,989 --> 00:07:30,742
What a beautiful battle.
Tough one.
202
00:07:30,784 --> 00:07:32,869
[ Cheers and applause ]
[ Ringing]
203
00:07:32,911 --> 00:07:34,704
Kelsea:
Hello, Kelly Clarkson.
204
00:07:34,746 --> 00:07:36,998
Kelly: Oh, my gosh, Kelsea,
thank you so much.
205
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,751
This is one of the coolest
things I've ever gotten to do,
206
00:07:39,793 --> 00:07:43,129
so, um, I'm more than happy
to keep your seat warm.
207
00:07:43,171 --> 00:07:46,841
Even though, unfortunately,
Kelly's not able to be here,
208
00:07:46,883 --> 00:07:48,927
it's still such a blessing
to be able to perform
209
00:07:48,968 --> 00:07:51,304
in front of the coaches
and a new superstar.
210
00:07:51,346 --> 00:07:54,140
I need the rundown because
I want to do you right.
211
00:07:54,182 --> 00:07:57,185
Gean and Ryleigh are one of
my best battles.
212
00:07:57,227 --> 00:07:59,646
I'm probably gonna get flak
from the other coaches
213
00:07:59,688 --> 00:08:01,231
for even pairing them.
[ Laughs ]
214
00:08:01,272 --> 00:08:03,149
Ryleigh: Kelsea's been
on the show before.
215
00:08:03,191 --> 00:08:06,695
She was an adviser for Kelly,
and I feel like she might know
216
00:08:06,736 --> 00:08:08,822
what she would do
in that situation.
217
00:08:08,863 --> 00:08:11,241
So I feel like
it's gonna be a good fit.
218
00:08:11,282 --> 00:08:13,076
If I could give you
any advice --
219
00:08:13,118 --> 00:08:15,328
Don't trust Blake.
Okay.
220
00:08:15,370 --> 00:08:17,038
Right there.
I just laid it down.
221
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:18,832
Okay, I'm gonna embed it in
my brain
222
00:08:18,873 --> 00:08:20,208
and take it to the seat.
223
00:08:20,250 --> 00:08:22,043
[ Cheers and applause ]
224
00:08:22,085 --> 00:08:24,004
Kelsea, if you really want
to be like Kelly,
225
00:08:24,045 --> 00:08:26,006
you have to talk a lot.
[ Chuckles ]
226
00:08:26,047 --> 00:08:28,883
Let's go, Gean!
All right, Gean!

00:08:29,801 --> 00:08:32,804
Her dress is cool!
Style icon.
228
00:08:32,846 --> 00:08:35,056

[ Cheers and applause ]
274
00:11:00,410 --> 00:11:03,830
Well, if Kelly was here,
I would tell her,
275
00:11:03,872 --> 00:11:06,332
why did you
pair these two together?
276
00:11:06,374 --> 00:11:10,086
It's awful.
Like, what is she doing?
277
00:11:10,128 --> 00:11:12,172
Maybe that's why
she's not here ultimately.
278
00:11:12,213 --> 00:11:15,508
Maybe she realized
what a horrible mistake she made
279
00:11:15,550 --> 00:11:17,677
and didn't want to deal
with this decision.
280
00:11:17,719 --> 00:11:19,512
Lucky me.
Lucky Kelsea.
281
00:11:19,554 --> 00:11:23,767
Gean, I've never seen anybody
perform the way you do,
282
00:11:23,808 --> 00:11:25,352
and you're so intense.
283
00:11:25,393 --> 00:11:28,521
It's like you're performing
from a different dimension.
284
00:11:28,563 --> 00:11:30,398
I don't know what's happening
to you physically
285
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,942
when you're singing,
but it's cool to see.
286
00:11:32,984 --> 00:11:35,862
Ryleigh,
we sit here in these chairs
287
00:11:35,904 --> 00:11:38,531
and we wait for,
season after season,
288
00:11:38,573 --> 00:11:42,535
somebody who doesn't sound
like anybody else
289
00:11:42,577 --> 00:11:44,079
that we can
really think of.
290
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,039
You're the kind of artist
that we need on this show
291
00:11:46,081 --> 00:11:47,957
to keep it new
and fresh and different.
292
00:11:47,999 --> 00:11:49,751
I got to say,
I'd probably go with Gene
293
00:11:49,793 --> 00:11:51,920
because I don't know
what's going on with you
294
00:11:51,961 --> 00:11:54,214
and I want to see
some more of it.
295
00:11:54,255 --> 00:11:57,717
Ryleigh, your voice is just
magical to listen to.
296
00:11:57,759 --> 00:12:01,388
And I'm so frustrated that
we didn't get to work together.
297
00:12:01,429 --> 00:12:04,099
You know, as a songwriter,
you're the kind of artist
298
00:12:04,140 --> 00:12:06,101
that I would die to write songs
for, to write with.
299
00:12:06,142 --> 00:12:08,395
Oh!
Ryleigh,
I'm writing that down.
300
00:12:08,436 --> 00:12:11,064
He said it on television.
So, yep.
Book it.
301
00:12:11,106 --> 00:12:13,483
And, Gean,
I have to agree with Blake.
302
00:12:13,525 --> 00:12:16,277
Y-You tap into something else.
It is like you're in the Matrix.
303
00:12:16,319 --> 00:12:18,196
You're in a different world
and you can't coach that.
304
00:12:18,238 --> 00:12:21,324
I would say that you've got
the hardest job here today,
305
00:12:21,366 --> 00:12:23,993
stepping in
and taking over for Kelly.
306
00:12:24,035 --> 00:12:25,662
I love that this is her
first battle.
307
00:12:25,704 --> 00:12:26,913
It's my first battle.
308
00:12:26,955 --> 00:12:28,248
Yeah.
So after you're done today,
309
00:12:28,289 --> 00:12:30,291
just go have
a conversation with Kelly...
310
00:12:30,333 --> 00:12:31,793
Yeah, I'll call her.
...and tell her how she messed
this whole thing up.
311
00:12:31,835 --> 00:12:33,003
I was looking at this
and realizing
312
00:12:33,044 --> 00:12:34,504
I didn't turn
for either of you,
313
00:12:34,546 --> 00:12:37,882
and starting to question myself
as a human being.
314
00:12:37,924 --> 00:12:40,593
Like, am I doing this right?
315
00:12:40,635 --> 00:12:45,515
Both of you have really unique
approaches and unique voices.
316
00:12:45,557 --> 00:12:48,268
Gean, just open up your vowels
a little bit more.
317
00:12:48,309 --> 00:12:50,186
It felt like you were
squeezing 'em a little bit,
318
00:12:50,228 --> 00:12:52,439
but your range is so cool.
319
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,524
That isn't enough for me
to not want you on my team
320
00:12:54,566 --> 00:12:56,192
if -- if I had a chance
to steal you.
321
00:12:56,234 --> 00:12:57,944
Yeah.
But I thought Ryleigh
322
00:12:57,986 --> 00:13:00,280
gave a slightly
better performance today.
323
00:13:00,321 --> 00:13:03,324
This is a tough decision
for Kelsea.
324
00:13:03,366 --> 00:13:05,785
Kelsea, welcome to
"The Voice."
325
00:13:05,827 --> 00:13:07,287
This is a tough one for you.
Wow!
326
00:13:07,328 --> 00:13:08,913
Way to throw me in!
Before we find out the winner,
327
00:13:08,955 --> 00:13:10,248
just give us some thoughts
on the battle.
328
00:13:10,290 --> 00:13:11,666
Kelly's told me
all about you.
329
00:13:11,708 --> 00:13:14,336
Um, she's so sad that
she can't see this in person.
330
00:13:14,377 --> 00:13:17,464
And I feel super stoked
that I can.
331
00:13:17,505 --> 00:13:19,424
I think Blake is on
to something, though,
332
00:13:19,466 --> 00:13:21,301
that she just didn't want
to have to pick.
333
00:13:21,343 --> 00:13:23,386
And so now that's why
I'm here.
334
00:13:23,428 --> 00:13:25,430
Gean, I noticed there was
a little pitch issue
335
00:13:25,472 --> 00:13:27,432
in the beginning
and then you corrected it.
336
00:13:27,474 --> 00:13:30,352
And I was wondering if that was
maybe just a nerve thing.
337
00:13:30,393 --> 00:13:32,729
And, Ryleigh, Kelly was telling
me that music's kind of been
338
00:13:32,771 --> 00:13:34,189
an outlet for you...
Yeah.
339
00:13:34,230 --> 00:13:35,398
...and it's been something
in your life
340
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:36,983
that helped you get
past things.
341
00:13:37,025 --> 00:13:38,735
And I relate to that
so deeply.
342
00:13:38,777 --> 00:13:42,155
I can hear parts of your story
in the way that you sing.
343
00:13:42,197 --> 00:13:43,823
And it makes me
want to buy your record.
344
00:13:43,865 --> 00:13:47,494
Thank you!
Since I'm keeping the seat warm
for Kelly,
345
00:13:47,535 --> 00:13:49,537
I'm gonna call her.
I don't know you could
phone a friend!
346
00:13:49,579 --> 00:13:52,457
Wait. That's illegal!
Oh, my gosh.
347
00:13:52,499 --> 00:13:54,000
This is unprecedented.
348
00:13:54,042 --> 00:13:56,002
You two have changed
this show forever.
349
00:13:56,044 --> 00:13:58,797
[ Ringing]
Can you ask her
why she's not here?
350
00:13:58,838 --> 00:14:00,256
[ Laughter ]
351
00:14:00,298 --> 00:14:02,008
Kelly:
I'm so sorry, Kelsea!
352
00:14:02,050 --> 00:14:04,177
[ Laughing]
This is so bad!
353
00:14:04,219 --> 00:14:07,347
And either way you go,
it's great.
354
00:14:07,389 --> 00:14:09,182
You should feel safe
picking whoever
355
00:14:09,224 --> 00:14:10,642
'cause I don't think either one
of them are going home.
356
00:14:10,684 --> 00:14:12,352
Okay, well, then I know
what I'm gonna do.
357
00:14:12,394 --> 00:14:14,312
Kelly sounds
just fine to me.
358
00:14:14,354 --> 00:14:16,356
Yeah.
She's laughing.
She's talking.
359
00:14:16,398 --> 00:14:18,900
You gotta insert
a little extra rasp.
360
00:14:18,942 --> 00:14:21,027
[ Wheezing ]
I think I heard ocean waves
361
00:14:21,069 --> 00:14:22,278
in the background.
362
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,364
Well, Kelsea,
this is a difficult one.
363
00:14:24,406 --> 00:14:28,243
Who is the winner
of this battle?
364
00:14:28,284 --> 00:14:31,246
The winner
of this battle...
365
00:14:31,287 --> 00:14:34,416
**
366
00:14:34,457 --> 00:14:37,460
...is Ryleigh.
Ryleigh Modig, Congratulations.
367
00:14:37,502 --> 00:14:39,546
Thank you!
You are moving on
to the knockouts!
368
00:14:39,587 --> 00:14:42,048
Kelsea: The decision
was so tough and so close,
369
00:14:42,090 --> 00:14:44,050
but there's just nobody on
the show like Ryleigh.
370
00:14:44,092 --> 00:14:46,177
She nailed every lick
and every note.
371
00:14:46,219 --> 00:14:49,514
And that's why I, on Kelly's
behalf, chose Ryleigh.
372
00:14:49,556 --> 00:14:52,058
I can't -- I don't even have
words for how I'm feeling.
373
00:14:52,100 --> 00:14:54,728
I'm just so grateful.
Ahh!
374
00:14:54,769 --> 00:14:58,481
Coaches, let me remind you, Gean
is available to steal or save.
375
00:14:58,523 --> 00:15:00,066
Whoa!
376
00:15:00,108 --> 00:15:01,609
We got a steal!
[ Shouts indistinctly ]
377
00:15:01,651 --> 00:15:03,069
Wow.
378
00:15:03,111 --> 00:15:04,446
Yay! [ Laughs ]
379
00:15:04,487 --> 00:15:06,531
John Legend, Nick Jonas...
Let's go.
380
00:15:06,573 --> 00:15:07,824
...both used their steal!
381
00:15:07,866 --> 00:15:09,451
John:
Gean, I made a mistake
382
00:15:09,492 --> 00:15:11,745
in not turning for you...
Yeah,
you mentioned that before.
383
00:15:11,786 --> 00:15:12,787
...in the blinds.
384
00:15:12,829 --> 00:15:14,914
You have a home on Team Legend
385
00:15:14,956 --> 00:15:16,583
and I would love
to work with you.
386
00:15:16,624 --> 00:15:19,044
You know, Nick is
a very good coach,
387
00:15:19,085 --> 00:15:21,546
but he's very inexperienced.
Blake: Wow.
388
00:15:21,588 --> 00:15:25,383
He's never won this show,
and I just worry that putting
389
00:15:25,425 --> 00:15:28,845
your career in his hands
might be a mistake.
390
00:15:28,887 --> 00:15:31,014
Ouch.
Please forgive me, Gean,
391
00:15:31,056 --> 00:15:32,265
and come to Team Legend.
392
00:15:32,307 --> 00:15:34,100
I just want to make it clear
393
00:15:34,142 --> 00:15:35,477
that I did turn for you.
Mm!
394
00:15:35,518 --> 00:15:37,103
From the beginning,
I believed in you.
395
00:15:37,145 --> 00:15:39,105
Blake blocked me,
which was disappointing.
396
00:15:39,147 --> 00:15:40,774
I still don't think
that was me, by the way.
397
00:15:40,815 --> 00:15:42,233
That was you, no doubt.
398
00:15:42,275 --> 00:15:45,028
John's only point is that
I'm inexperienced.
399
00:15:45,070 --> 00:15:46,654
This is my second season.
400
00:15:46,696 --> 00:15:48,114
I won on my first season.
401
00:15:48,156 --> 00:15:49,532
But that's neither here
nor there.
402
00:15:49,574 --> 00:15:50,700
[ Laughs ]
403
00:15:50,742 --> 00:15:53,119
We can't all be John Legend.
That's a fact.
404
00:15:53,161 --> 00:15:54,621
But some of us
have a lot to prove.
405
00:15:54,662 --> 00:15:56,581
And I have this really cool song
that I sing for people
406
00:15:56,623 --> 00:15:58,833
that join my team,
and I would --
407
00:15:58,875 --> 00:16:00,627
The song is cool,
I'll give you that.
I would love to sing it
for Gean.
408
00:16:00,669 --> 00:16:03,713
Daly: All right, Gean,
who do you pick as your coach?
409
00:16:03,755 --> 00:16:04,547

at Universal Studios Hollywood.

00:16:26,736 --> 00:16:28,530
All right, Gean,
the time has come.
417
00:16:28,571 --> 00:16:31,408
It is up to you.
Who do you pick as your coach?

Yes!
Daly: John successfully steals
Gean away!
423
00:16:43,378 --> 00:16:45,380
I had to steal Gean.
He has that fire.
424
00:16:45,422 --> 00:16:48,216
He has that range.
I needed him on Team Legend.

00:16:48,258 --> 00:16:51,386
* You know
I had to steal for you *

for you *

Welcome, Gean!

Thank you.
That was pretty sick.

Nick: I knew the gloves
were gonna come off on this one.
431
00:17:05,567 --> 00:17:07,736
This was
the toughest-fought battle
432
00:17:07,777 --> 00:17:09,612
and it wasn't even the people
on stage.
433
00:17:09,654 --> 00:17:11,573
It was John and I.
Damn.
434
00:17:11,614 --> 00:17:16,119
It's a bittersweet thought
that Gean has another home
435
00:17:16,161 --> 00:17:17,662
because he's so talented.
436
00:17:17,704 --> 00:17:19,748
But at the end of the day,
at least, he's still here.
437
00:17:19,789 --> 00:17:23,585
We should all write a song
about a sad guy named Gean
438
00:17:23,626 --> 00:17:26,046
and call it "Blue Gean."
Yeah.

Thanks for having us.
445
00:17:36,514 --> 00:17:38,183
This season,
I decided to bring in
446
00:17:38,224 --> 00:17:40,393
Dan + Shay as my advisers.
447
00:17:40,435 --> 00:17:43,063
You guys are the first artists
I think
448
00:17:43,104 --> 00:17:44,606
I ever really mentored.
449
00:17:44,647 --> 00:17:46,107
"Ten Times Crazier" tour.
Yeah.

watching you guys take over.

* When I taste tequila,
baby, I still see ya *

When you think about "Tequila"
and "Speechless"
453
00:17:54,949 --> 00:17:56,242
and then "10,000 Hours,"
454
00:17:56,284 --> 00:17:58,536
they've become more than
just country stars,
455
00:17:58,578 --> 00:18:00,747
they're global pop stars now.
456
00:18:00,789 --> 00:18:02,957
I still think I would have been
better for "10,000 Hours"
457
00:18:02,999 --> 00:18:05,126
than Justin Bieber, but...
You never hit us back, man.
458
00:18:05,168 --> 00:18:07,420
...you know.
It would have been great
to get even an e-mail.

00:18:07,462 --> 00:18:09,005
I don't think I have
your phone numbers.

They're Grammy Award
winning artists.

This whole thing
is unbelievable.

Thank you!
That's incredible.
472
00:18:29,275 --> 00:18:31,069
Took a long time.

We're 20 feet away from
Dan + Shay. This is so cool.
476
00:18:37,033 --> 00:18:39,994
What led you to pick this song?
Why did you pick this?
477
00:18:40,036 --> 00:18:42,455
Well, I just thought, like,
well, Blake's --
478
00:18:42,497 --> 00:18:44,124
Blake's definitely not gonna
pick anything good, so...
479
00:18:44,165 --> 00:18:45,667
I gave Aaron and Connor
480
00:18:45,709 --> 00:18:47,711
"I Ain't Living Long Like This"
by Waylon Jennings.
481
00:18:47,752 --> 00:18:49,504
I think all you can do
as a coach
482
00:18:49,546 --> 00:18:52,340
is throw something out there
that is close to the middle
483
00:18:52,382 --> 00:18:53,883
and then see
who can thrive.
484
00:18:53,925 --> 00:18:56,511
It's very rockabilly, and I felt
like both of these guys
485
00:18:56,553 --> 00:18:58,722
could really dig in
and make it their own.
486
00:18:58,763 --> 00:19:01,057
You do more of a folk thing --
I do, like, folk, kind of
487
00:19:01,099 --> 00:19:02,726
Red Dirt, country,
singer-songwriter stuff.
Mm-hmm.
488
00:19:02,767 --> 00:19:05,729
Getting to do this classic
Waylon song,
489
00:19:05,770 --> 00:19:07,772
it feels to me
right in my wheelhouse
490
00:19:07,814 --> 00:19:09,190
of the kind of music
that I write.
491

00:19:11,860 --> 00:19:13,945
My wife and I have been
singing together

for almost 20 years.
494
00:19:15,321 --> 00:19:17,449
We spent two years
writing country music
495
00:19:17,490 --> 00:19:19,993
for a publisher in Nashville.
496
00:19:20,035 --> 00:19:22,829
I've never done
solo things like this,
497
00:19:22,871 --> 00:19:25,540
but she is so faithful
to stand by me
498
00:19:25,582 --> 00:19:27,625
and encourage me and support me.
499
00:19:27,667 --> 00:19:30,003
* As I try to make my way *
500
00:19:30,045 --> 00:19:31,713
And I think this experience
501
00:19:31,755 --> 00:19:33,840
has helped me
and my confidence to see,
502
00:19:33,882 --> 00:19:35,633
like, I-I have what it takes
to do this.
503
00:19:35,675 --> 00:19:38,720
This feels really natural.
Like, I like this song.

00:19:38,762 --> 00:19:41,681
Cool.
And he's like, "And I don't
feel comfortable at all."
505
00:19:41,723 --> 00:19:43,391
[ Laughter ]
506
00:19:43,433 --> 00:19:45,226
No, that's the thing.
He's like, I'm happy for you
507
00:19:45,268 --> 00:19:46,644
that this is so in
your wheelhouse.
508
00:19:46,686 --> 00:19:48,438
That's really great.
I know, right?
509
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,358
Blake's pushing me
to really step out of that box.
510
00:19:51,399 --> 00:19:52,734
Where are you from, man?
Uh, I'm from Ohio,
511
00:19:52,776 --> 00:19:54,027
right on the river...
Okay.
512
00:19:54,069 --> 00:19:55,528
...so really close to, like,
West Virginia.
513
00:19:55,570 --> 00:19:56,780
I grew up playing
blues and rock and soul.
514
00:19:56,821 --> 00:19:58,156
You ever go to
Jamboree in the Hills?
515
00:19:58,198 --> 00:19:59,908
Oh, yeah.
I remember going there.
516
00:19:59,949 --> 00:20:01,743
I don't remember leaving.
No, we're still there,
actually.
517
00:20:01,785 --> 00:20:03,244
Yeah,
you don't want to leave.
518
00:20:03,286 --> 00:20:06,456
Gallipolis is a farm town
full of really genuine people.
519
00:20:06,498 --> 00:20:08,583
Just the magic
and that little culture there,
520
00:20:08,625 --> 00:20:10,585
just, I think that's why
I like the bluesy, rootsy stuff,
521
00:20:10,627 --> 00:20:12,087
is I can connect with that.
522
00:20:12,128 --> 00:20:15,757
* You gonna know my name
by the end of the night *
523
00:20:15,799 --> 00:20:18,259
Outside of music, tennis is one
of my second loves,
524
00:20:18,301 --> 00:20:20,970
and right now, I currently work
as a full-time tennis coach.
525
00:20:21,012 --> 00:20:23,640
Just like, as a musician,
it's a lifelong pursuit
526
00:20:23,682 --> 00:20:25,141
to always get better.
527
00:20:25,183 --> 00:20:27,977
* I look for trouble
and I found it, son *
528
00:20:28,019 --> 00:20:30,063
Blake: Connor's just
got this sneaky voice.
529
00:20:30,105 --> 00:20:32,774
You know, it's raspy.
It sounds weathered.
530
00:20:32,816 --> 00:20:34,693
But it's got more power
than you think it does
531
00:20:34,734 --> 00:20:36,277
when you listen to his range.
532
00:20:36,319 --> 00:20:39,280
* Living long like this *
533
00:20:39,322 --> 00:20:41,449
I love how Aaron
can really dig in
534
00:20:41,491 --> 00:20:43,451
and be aggressive
with his vocals.
535
00:20:43,493 --> 00:20:47,831
He's not bashful. He gives
every lyric all he's got.
536
00:20:47,872 --> 00:20:49,874
Cool.
Yeah.
Y'all are amazing, man.
537
00:20:49,916 --> 00:20:52,711
Killin' it.
First of all,
you're both so unique.
538
00:20:52,752 --> 00:20:55,630
There's nobody else like either
one of ya on this season.
539
00:20:55,672 --> 00:20:58,466
Thank you.
Both your voices
give it kind of a new edge.
540
00:20:58,508 --> 00:21:00,135
We just got to figure out
some cohesiveness
541
00:21:00,176 --> 00:21:01,970
between the two of you.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
542
00:21:02,012 --> 00:21:04,222
You've got to get together,
and I don't know anybody better
543
00:21:04,264 --> 00:21:05,515
than these two.
Yeah!
544
00:21:05,557 --> 00:21:07,934
These guys
are the masters of harmony.
545
00:21:07,976 --> 00:21:10,812
Connor, your voice has
an amazing low, kind of raspy,
546
00:21:10,854 --> 00:21:12,689
like a Ray LaMontagne
kind of thing.
Yeah.
547
00:21:12,731 --> 00:21:14,983
When you sang high above him,
that was a really good moment.
548
00:21:15,025 --> 00:21:17,152
And I feel like
we should lean into that.
549
00:21:17,193 --> 00:21:18,611
Yeah.
And I like the last note
that you --
550
00:21:18,653 --> 00:21:20,739
* Livin' lo-o-o-ng *
Yeah.
551
00:21:20,780 --> 00:21:23,616
Whatever that note is,
just both do it.
552
00:21:23,658 --> 00:21:25,452
That's a good note,
I think, to do unison.
553
00:21:25,493 --> 00:21:27,078
If the other ones
are harmonized,
554
00:21:27,120 --> 00:21:28,830
and then that one is just you
guys both pushing full throttle.
555
00:21:28,872 --> 00:21:31,958
Nobody does harmony and duo
like Dan + Shay.
556
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:33,585
It's humbling to me
just to think
557
00:21:33,626 --> 00:21:35,670
that they're helping us
craft this song.
558
00:21:35,712 --> 00:21:37,589
If you're saying, "Can I, baby,"
split into harmony there.
559
00:21:37,630 --> 00:21:39,924
* Can I, baby? *
560
00:21:39,966 --> 00:21:41,676
* Baby *
Ooh!
561
00:21:41,718 --> 00:21:43,261
I kind of feel like
being in the studio with them,
562
00:21:43,303 --> 00:21:45,805
working on an album, like,
they're producing the thing.
563
00:21:45,847 --> 00:21:47,599
The one thing I would
just say on your runs,
564
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:48,808
like, make 'em purposeful,
565
00:21:48,850 --> 00:21:50,435
'cause I know
how it is in the moment.
566
00:21:50,477 --> 00:21:51,811
Like,
this is nerve-racking.
567
00:21:51,853 --> 00:21:53,313
I can't imagine
how you guys are feeling.
568
00:21:53,355 --> 00:21:55,690
So when you get up there,
don't try to overdo it,
569
00:21:55,732 --> 00:21:57,359
especially when you guys
are doing harmonies.
570
00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,986
Definitely.
I'm used to like kind of being
like a front man,
571
00:22:00,028 --> 00:22:01,571
like a three-piece
kind of trio thing.
572
00:22:01,613 --> 00:22:02,947
Yeah.
So you get a song,
573
00:22:02,989 --> 00:22:04,157
and you're trying
to figure out the harmonies.
574
00:22:04,199 --> 00:22:05,492
How do you break that down?
575
00:22:05,533 --> 00:22:06,701
We've been doing this
forever together.
576
00:22:06,743 --> 00:22:08,036
If I sing something,
I immediately know
577
00:22:08,078 --> 00:22:09,871
all those parts
and that's just time,
578
00:22:09,913 --> 00:22:11,539
and you'll get that, like,
you know, if you do it a bunch.
579
00:22:11,581 --> 00:22:13,708
Yeah.
What I ended up learning to do
over the years,
580
00:22:13,750 --> 00:22:16,795
it's like I will learn
the harmony part as my melody.
581
00:22:16,836 --> 00:22:18,713
I don't even think of it.
Yeah.
Exactly. Yeah.
582
00:22:18,755 --> 00:22:21,091
I think if you learn the song,
like just your part...
583
00:22:21,132 --> 00:22:23,426
Yeah, yeah.
...it'll just be
second nature to you.
584
00:22:23,468 --> 00:22:24,886
And you're not thinking,
like, "All right,
585
00:22:24,928 --> 00:22:26,429
he's gonna hit this note
and I'm up here."
586
00:22:26,471 --> 00:22:28,098
* Live at all *
587
00:22:28,139 --> 00:22:30,266
Dan:
That was an exciting pairing,
and they both have star power.
588
00:22:30,308 --> 00:22:32,185
There was some magic there,
and the blend of their voices
589
00:22:32,227 --> 00:22:33,937
was really cool,
and when they feel confident
590
00:22:33,978 --> 00:22:36,481
and prepared, they're gonna go
in and just absolutely crush it.
591
00:22:36,523 --> 00:22:37,732
That's already way better.
592
00:22:37,774 --> 00:22:39,401
You guys
are unbelievably talented,
593
00:22:39,442 --> 00:22:40,985
and it's --
this is fun to watch.
594
00:22:41,027 --> 00:22:42,821
You know, when you get out there
that night, be yourself
595
00:22:42,862 --> 00:22:44,906
and shine
and -- and bring some energy.
596
00:22:44,948 --> 00:22:46,574
It's not gonna pay off
for anybody
597
00:22:46,616 --> 00:22:48,243
if this doesn't sound
like a perfect duet,
598
00:22:48,284 --> 00:22:50,829
so I'm looking for that artist
that I feel like
599
00:22:50,870 --> 00:22:53,331
puts in that extra work
to make this thing happen.
600
00:22:53,373 --> 00:22:55,583
We'll have the full band there
and that'll just take it up
601
00:22:55,625 --> 00:22:57,585
to the next level.
Yeah, so thank you so much --
602
00:22:57,627 --> 00:22:58,878
All right, cool.
Thank y'all.
603
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:00,255
You guys are awesome.
Thank you, guys.
604
00:23:00,296 --> 00:23:01,715
Appreciate it.
That was awesome.
605
00:23:01,756 --> 00:23:03,967

for multiple reasons.
606

[ Laughs ] No, that's definitely
a decision
607
00:23:05,969 --> 00:23:08,596
I would not want to make,
and I'm glad I don't have to.
608
00:23:08,638 --> 00:23:10,724
I can't imagine
being in their position.
609
00:23:10,765 --> 00:23:12,851

Oh, I mean, imagine, like,
610
00:23:12,892 --> 00:23:14,602
to just be sitting
in front of guys
611
00:23:14,644 --> 00:23:16,354
that they hear on the radio
every day and...

00:26:21,331 --> 00:26:24,000
Connor, your rasp's kind of
an identifier for you.
671
00:26:24,042 --> 00:26:25,877
It's something that I think
will set you apart.
672
00:26:25,919 --> 00:26:27,879
Thank you.
And you clearly have fun
performing.
673
00:26:27,921 --> 00:26:30,173
I do.
Aaron, there was real
674
00:26:30,215 --> 00:26:31,800
professional quality to the way
675
00:26:31,841 --> 00:26:33,635
that you approached
the vocal on this song.
676
00:26:33,677 --> 00:26:34,928
And I really appreciated
677
00:26:34,969 --> 00:26:36,262
that you were swinging
for the fences.
678
00:26:36,304 --> 00:26:38,807
Made me feel like
it was fairly even.
679
00:26:38,848 --> 00:26:40,517
Both you guys, great job.
680
00:26:40,558 --> 00:26:44,020
I really just had a fun time
listening to the whole thing.
681
00:26:44,062 --> 00:26:46,523
Aaron's voice
was a little more electric to me
682
00:26:46,564 --> 00:26:50,527
and it felt like it was more
suited to this particular song.
683
00:26:50,568 --> 00:26:53,697
But there's something cool
about your voice, Connor.
684
00:26:53,738 --> 00:26:55,407
Yeah.
I was thinking about
what it would feel like
685
00:26:55,448 --> 00:26:58,368
for you to just sing
a stripped-down ballad
686
00:26:58,410 --> 00:27:00,161
with just you and the guitar.
Yeah.
687
00:27:00,203 --> 00:27:03,957
I'm more intrigued
by the possibility of hearing
688
00:27:03,998 --> 00:27:05,333
what else you could do.
689
00:27:05,375 --> 00:27:06,960
It's a tough decision.
690
00:27:07,002 --> 00:27:09,587
Only John Legend could hear
that performance
691
00:27:09,629 --> 00:27:14,718
and also be imagining an
acoustic, broken-down version.

[ Laughter ]
693
00:27:16,136 --> 00:27:17,887
I can't believe
I'm gonna say it,
694
00:27:17,929 --> 00:27:21,891
but I really think
that song was perfect, Blake.
695
00:27:21,933 --> 00:27:24,310
It was an accident.
You did a good job, Blake.
696
00:27:24,352 --> 00:27:27,105
He stumbled upon greatness.
That's right.
697
00:27:27,147 --> 00:27:29,065
Aaron, you were able
to kind of bring this,
698
00:27:29,107 --> 00:27:33,903
like, rough, smoky tone
with your acoustic and jam out.
699
00:27:33,945 --> 00:27:36,573
Connor, when you were singing,
you were still acting
700
00:27:36,614 --> 00:27:39,534
like you were on stage solo
by yourself at your concert.
701
00:27:39,576 --> 00:27:41,911
I just thought it was
really strong that you were
702
00:27:41,953 --> 00:27:44,080
still kind of claiming
your space in your moment.
703
00:27:44,122 --> 00:27:45,498
Daly: Thank you, Coaches.
704
00:27:45,540 --> 00:27:47,334
Buddy, give us some thoughts
on that battle.
705
00:27:47,375 --> 00:27:50,128
Aaron, it says here that, you
know, he's a jack-of-all-trades,

00:27:59,637 --> 00:28:02,640
I don't know how you managed
to do anything else

at that.

They call me Backhand Blake

717
00:28:15,153 --> 00:28:17,113
Tennis is just a...
Natural sport for you?
718
00:28:17,155 --> 00:28:20,283
Yes. Yes.
And so we have that connection
719
00:28:20,325 --> 00:28:22,410
that I didn't even realize.
You are an athlete.
720
00:28:22,452 --> 00:28:25,038
Yeah. Yes, I am.
An athlete through and through.

Oh, my gosh.
That is good.
723
00:28:31,002 --> 00:28:32,462
But by the same token,
it's like,
724
00:28:32,504 --> 00:28:35,548
how does Connor do anything else
other than this?
725
00:28:35,590 --> 00:28:37,842
And Kelsea's right --
once you're in the zone,
726
00:28:37,884 --> 00:28:40,512
somebody could walk up and just
be like, "Hey, Connor, listen,
727
00:28:40,553 --> 00:28:43,431
hey, there's a tornado coming.
Stop, stop."
728
00:28:43,473 --> 00:28:45,100
And you couldn't get him
out of the zone.
729
00:28:45,141 --> 00:28:46,476
You just couldn't.
730
00:28:46,518 --> 00:28:48,103
That's your tennis coach
coming out in you.
731
00:28:48,144 --> 00:28:49,813
That's right.
Daly: Backhand Blake,

the time has come.

Who is the winner
of this battle?

00:28:53,942 --> 00:28:56,444
I know I got to make
a decision here, uh...
735
00:28:59,030 --> 00:29:00,573
If I'm being honest
with myself,
736
00:29:00,615 --> 00:29:03,451
it's a little bit more
in Aaron's wheelhouse.
737
00:29:04,744 --> 00:29:08,456
But, Connor, I-I know
how much work you put into this.
738
00:29:08,498 --> 00:29:10,500
I got to give it up
to Connor.
739
00:29:10,542 --> 00:29:14,587
Connor Christian is moving on
to the knockouts.
740
00:29:14,629 --> 00:29:18,008
Blake:
Connor had a bigger challenge
to face with that song,
741
00:29:18,049 --> 00:29:19,634
and I thought he stepped up
to the plate.
742
00:29:19,676 --> 00:29:22,220
He just can't hold himself back
when he's on stage.
743
00:29:22,262 --> 00:29:24,014
We got to find songs
moving forward

and be Connor.

Good job, bud.
Thank you, guys, so much.
746
00:29:28,518 --> 00:29:30,687
Getting to continue on Blake's
team is an absolute blessing.

the rock 'n' roll coming.

to say to Blake?

I have a very funny history
with Nick

because we had a similar hairdo
in the 2000s,
823
00:32:26,404 --> 00:32:27,739
people would make references
that I would be

that we would actually
be friends in real life.

some kind of weird destiny.

Both of these artists
bring something really unique
837
00:32:50,178 --> 00:32:51,680
to the table,
very different voices,
838
00:32:51,721 --> 00:32:54,808
but they're kind of powerhouses
in their own right.

Hey, hey.

Nick brought in Darren Criss,

My daughter, if she knew that
you were in this room...
844
00:33:06,569 --> 00:33:08,154
[ Chuckles ]
...I would just have
to leave her here.
845
00:33:08,196 --> 00:33:10,115
Well, then, let's not tell her
'cause I don't want to
846
00:33:10,156 --> 00:33:11,783
ruin this moment.
For you and I.
847
00:33:11,825 --> 00:33:13,702
Yeah, 'cause I think we got
a really good vibe going here.

Devan: Darren is an actor,
he was on Broadway,
849
00:33:15,620 --> 00:33:17,956
movies, and writes
his own music.
850
00:33:17,997 --> 00:33:20,166
When you're standing
in front of a megastar,
851
00:33:20,208 --> 00:33:22,293
it's really hard
to think straight.
852
00:33:22,335 --> 00:33:24,170
I have one question
before we get into it.
853
00:33:24,212 --> 00:33:26,756

Gosh.

And you still decided
to come to Team Nick.

00:33:36,349 --> 00:33:37,809
You said I have
something to prove.

**
862
00:33:44,733 --> 00:33:46,901
I've been a background singer
since I was in the 10th grade.
863
00:33:46,943 --> 00:33:49,988
Yeah.
And, you know, sometime
when you're in the back,
864
00:33:50,030 --> 00:33:51,448
you kind of get lost.
865
00:33:51,489 --> 00:33:54,784
And that's where I was --
as a mother, as a performer.
866
00:33:54,826 --> 00:33:58,038
And so when you said that,
I was like, he doggone right.

Let's get it.

Dana: My daughter is Amaya.
She is 17.

00:34:06,379 --> 00:34:08,840
She can sing.
She's a writer.

So music runs deep
in our family.

Even though I'm accustomed
to doing this all the time,

* Hey *

00:34:25,732 --> 00:34:28,818
I'm definitely here to learn,
and I think being with Nick
880
00:34:28,860 --> 00:34:31,237
gives me the opportunity
to expand,
881
00:34:31,279 --> 00:34:32,572
you know,
stretching me to my limits
882
00:34:32,614 --> 00:34:34,991
and I-I'm really excited
about that.
883
00:34:35,033 --> 00:34:37,744
This environment and this
specific work session
884
00:34:37,786 --> 00:34:39,913
is so important
for the growth of these artists.
885
00:34:39,954 --> 00:34:42,290
We've actually broken it down,
it's guitar,
886
00:34:42,332 --> 00:34:44,125
it's piano, it's the vocal.
Right.
887
00:34:44,167 --> 00:34:46,503
And so you get -- you get the
voice in its purest form.
100%.
888
00:34:46,544 --> 00:34:49,631
I was kind of expecting
a full band, let's go.
889
00:34:49,673 --> 00:34:52,634
And then it was just the piano,
and so I felt very vulnerable.
890
00:34:54,094 --> 00:34:57,222
I gave Devan and Dana Monique
"Stuck With You,"
891
00:34:57,263 --> 00:34:59,432
by Ariana Grande
and Justin Bieber.

* Ooh, ooh, ooh *

classic styles.

* I'm stuck with you,
stuck with you *

And to set it
against this more modern record
897
00:35:10,485 --> 00:35:11,861
is gonna be really cool.
898
00:35:11,903 --> 00:35:15,699
Justin, Ariana, they have
classic influences
899
00:35:15,740 --> 00:35:17,784
that give them the ability
to do modern records
900
00:35:17,826 --> 00:35:21,454
that feel new, innovative,
and it came at a point in time
901
00:35:21,496 --> 00:35:22,789
when people needed
to be uplifted.
902
00:35:22,831 --> 00:35:25,083
Yeah.
It does have
a feeling of hope to it.
903
00:35:25,125 --> 00:35:28,128
"Stuck With You" was kind of
the quarantine song.
904
00:35:28,169 --> 00:35:32,132
When COVID first happened,
I was really having a hard time.
905
00:35:32,173 --> 00:35:34,676
I have all my plants
and I have my dog and my cat,
906
00:35:34,718 --> 00:35:37,262
but I'm single
and it was a challenge.
907
00:35:37,303 --> 00:35:39,723
I started to just hone in
on doing music
908
00:35:39,764 --> 00:35:41,182
and then I sent in a video
909
00:35:41,224 --> 00:35:44,269
and didn't think it was gonna
turn into this.

00:35:44,310 --> 00:35:45,603

and someone that we can
work with to help them grow.

Devan: I'm excited to see
who else I can become,
916
00:35:56,281 --> 00:35:58,950
'cause I'm different
now than I was when I
first got here already.

You can hear elements
of Sam Cooke

and even, of course,
John Legend.
* But you never let me down *
922
00:36:12,881 --> 00:36:14,924
There are certain things he does
that just kind of stand out.
923
00:36:14,966 --> 00:36:16,676
* So lock the door *
924
00:36:16,718 --> 00:36:18,303
Dana's like
a walking hurricane.
925
00:36:18,345 --> 00:36:20,972
* And throw out the key *
She's an undeniable person.
926
00:36:21,014 --> 00:36:22,640
* ...no more,
it's just you and me *
927
00:36:22,682 --> 00:36:24,142
What's funny is, if she didn't
have a good voice,
928
00:36:24,184 --> 00:36:28,063
I'd still be on board
because she has such charisma.
929
00:36:28,104 --> 00:36:30,607
Come on, man!
Team Nick's
pretty stacked, huh?
930
00:36:30,648 --> 00:36:32,484
Pbht!
My mom was like,
931
00:36:32,525 --> 00:36:34,611
"Who are you battling?",
and I said, "Aretha Franklin.
932
00:36:34,652 --> 00:36:37,322
How would you feel if you had
to battle Aretha?"
933
00:36:37,364 --> 00:36:39,949
I would do anything to be able
to have that instrument, man.
934
00:36:39,991 --> 00:36:41,951
And the coolest part is watching
when two vocalists
935
00:36:41,993 --> 00:36:44,037
can push each other to be
that much better.
936
00:36:44,079 --> 00:36:45,997
Dana, that verse --
937
00:36:46,039 --> 00:36:47,832
it's the opposite of what
we're gonna hear
938
00:36:47,874 --> 00:36:49,668
from you the rest of the song.
Mm-hmm.
939
00:36:49,709 --> 00:36:53,296
It's the subtle, soft moment,
and it's actually quite fun.
940
00:36:53,338 --> 00:36:56,633
It's so fun.
I think the more fun we watch
you have during this performance
941
00:36:56,675 --> 00:36:58,385
and your personality
coming out,
942
00:36:58,426 --> 00:36:59,678
the more fun
we're gonna have.
943
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:01,304
Yeah.
And then on the,
944
00:37:01,346 --> 00:37:02,806
* Stuck with you,
stuck with you, stuckwith you *
945
00:37:02,847 --> 00:37:04,849
Because your voice
has done it twice,
946
00:37:04,891 --> 00:37:06,685
the pitch police might come out
on that third one.
947
00:37:06,726 --> 00:37:08,186
If I get lazy
on the third one, yeah.
948
00:37:08,228 --> 00:37:09,896
So you want to spend
some extra TLC on that one
949
00:37:09,938 --> 00:37:11,356
'cause you don't want
to falter
950
00:37:11,398 --> 00:37:12,774
after this
really powerful moment.
951
00:37:12,816 --> 00:37:14,192
Devan, I think that you should
feel confident.
952
00:37:14,234 --> 00:37:17,237
I get the sense that
just generally this challenge
953
00:37:17,278 --> 00:37:18,780
has weighed on you a bit.
954
00:37:18,822 --> 00:37:21,533
And I can see that right now
you're even a bit emotional,
955
00:37:21,574 --> 00:37:24,869
and it's okay to be emotional,
let that happen.
You got it.
956
00:37:24,911 --> 00:37:27,580
Devan: Nick made a huge impact
on me by telling me
957
00:37:27,622 --> 00:37:29,457
that I need to work
on my confidence.
958
00:37:29,499 --> 00:37:31,209
I didn't think
he was gonna see that.
959
00:37:31,251 --> 00:37:33,003
Inside I was buzzing like crazy,
960
00:37:33,044 --> 00:37:35,588
thinking about Dana
and she's so good.
961
00:37:35,630 --> 00:37:37,382
I can't sing like that,
you know?
962
00:37:37,424 --> 00:37:40,301
When I have sung
next to Kelly and John
963
00:37:40,343 --> 00:37:42,887
and Blake in the past,
I started to feel insecure, too.
964
00:37:42,929 --> 00:37:46,558
But I know that I have something
that is uniquely me as well.
965
00:37:46,599 --> 00:37:47,976
And I think
you've got to find
966
00:37:48,018 --> 00:37:49,561
a way to know
that you're excellent.
967
00:37:49,602 --> 00:37:51,396
Mm-hmm.
Darren: Everybody here
has chops.
968
00:37:51,438 --> 00:37:54,482
Runs for days, licks for days,
but that's only so important.
969
00:37:54,524 --> 00:37:56,067
Can you sell it?
Do we believe you?
970
00:37:56,109 --> 00:37:58,153
You know, we're not just copying
Ariana and Justin licks.
971
00:37:58,194 --> 00:37:59,404
They ain't here, you are.
972
00:37:59,446 --> 00:38:01,156
Actually, surprise, they're --
No.
973
00:38:01,197 --> 00:38:03,199
Here they are! Come on in!
Don't do that!
974
00:38:03,241 --> 00:38:06,327
Devan: I went from being
very unsure about myself to now
975
00:38:06,369 --> 00:38:07,579
I feel like I can do this.
976
00:38:07,620 --> 00:38:09,914
* Tonight *
977
00:38:09,956 --> 00:38:11,082
Whoo!
978
00:38:11,124 --> 00:38:12,250
* Lock the door *
979
00:38:12,292 --> 00:38:13,918
* Throw out the key *
980
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:15,754
Nick: Dana has confidence for
days and she can sing anything,
981
00:38:15,795 --> 00:38:17,756
which is exactly
what you want on your team.
982
00:38:17,797 --> 00:38:20,091
* I still wouldn't change
all this *
983
00:38:20,133 --> 00:38:22,886
* Lovin' you, hatin' you *
But Devan, that next take we did
984
00:38:22,927 --> 00:38:25,013
he came to life,
and that growth in real time
985
00:38:25,055 --> 00:38:26,973
is so gratifying
for me as a coach.
986
00:38:27,015 --> 00:38:29,601
I believe this is gonna be
one of my toughest decisions.
987
00:38:29,642 --> 00:38:31,728
Come on!
Throw all the papers.
988
00:38:31,770 --> 00:38:33,605
Man!
989
00:38:33,646 --> 00:38:35,357
Whatever just happened...
Bottle that.
990
00:38:35,398 --> 00:38:36,900
Okay.
Because if you do that,
991
00:38:36,941 --> 00:38:38,151
you're gonna have these
other coaches real jealous.
992
00:38:38,193 --> 00:38:40,111
Dana:
Devan conquered this thing.
993
00:38:40,153 --> 00:38:41,237
So I'm like, "Hey!"
994
00:38:41,279 --> 00:38:43,281
I'll take one of those.
There you go.
995
00:38:43,323 --> 00:38:46,451
When we do the stage rehearsal,
I'll be on video chat
996
00:38:46,493 --> 00:38:47,786
so we can talk through.
Yeah.
997
00:38:47,827 --> 00:38:49,454
But it already feels
just kind of magical.

999
00:38:52,123 --> 00:38:53,958
Devan:
Stage rehearsal was just crazy.
1000
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,628
There's fog and lights
and the whole band
1001
00:38:56,670 --> 00:38:59,130
and I had to,
like, kind of get it together.
1002
00:38:59,172 --> 00:39:02,634
* Nothin' I, nothin' I,
I can do *
1003
00:39:02,676 --> 00:39:06,638
Dana, Devan, how's it feeling
now that we're on the stage
1004
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:09,140
doing this thing
almost for real?
1005
00:39:09,182 --> 00:39:11,434
After a few takes,
I feel good now.
1006
00:39:11,476 --> 00:39:13,645
I feel
more confident about
1007
00:39:13,687 --> 00:39:15,271
w-what we're gonna
bring to the table, so...
1008
00:39:15,313 --> 00:39:19,192
It was so cool to see two
very different singers
1009
00:39:19,234 --> 00:39:20,985
working as a team
1010
00:39:21,027 --> 00:39:22,779
and making each other better
along the way.
1011
00:39:22,821 --> 00:39:25,115
Dana: I need to stay
extremely consistent
1012
00:39:25,156 --> 00:39:27,492
and keep providing
impactful moments.
1013
00:39:27,534 --> 00:39:31,037
I've done a lot of work.
I'm ready to sing my heart out.
1014
00:39:31,079 --> 00:39:32,956
I think the world
is gonna love it.
1015
00:39:32,997 --> 00:39:34,916
Thank you, Nick.
All right.
See ya!
1016
00:39:34,958 --> 00:39:36,084
All right.
1017

Let's do it.
1021
00:39:49,764 --> 00:39:51,599
Look at
that jacket.
1022
00:39:51,641 --> 00:39:54,436
Ooh-hoo, that jacket is fly!
Yeah, it is.
1023
00:39:54,477 --> 00:39:55,895
The battle starts right now.

Yes!

Wow.
1071

**
1072
00:42:30,300 --> 00:42:35,388
Devan, if I could pick a winner
just based off badass jackets...
1073
00:42:35,430 --> 00:42:37,557
I love that jacket.
...that was a knockout.
1074
00:42:37,599 --> 00:42:40,352
And, man, I'm sure when you
got paired against her,
1075
00:42:40,393 --> 00:42:42,228
you were like,
"What the hell?"
1076
00:42:42,270 --> 00:42:44,230
Like, we all know
she's incredible.
1077
00:42:44,272 --> 00:42:45,899
But, man,
I thought you did a good job
1078
00:42:45,940 --> 00:42:47,067
of stepping up to the plate.
Thank you.
1079
00:42:47,108 --> 00:42:49,819
Feel like it
made you better.
1080
00:42:49,861 --> 00:42:51,404
And I can't really
pick it apart.
1081
00:42:51,446 --> 00:42:53,073
I guess the only thing I can
really say is,
1082
00:42:53,114 --> 00:42:55,283
but it's Dana,
and it's just,
1083
00:42:55,325 --> 00:42:58,745
her voice is just
so powerful and so complete.
1084
00:42:58,787 --> 00:43:00,413
I would pick Dana
in this moment.
1085
00:43:00,455 --> 00:43:03,750
I just think she's incredible
and -- and long overdue
1086
00:43:03,792 --> 00:43:06,127
for an opportunity
like this.
1087
00:43:06,169 --> 00:43:08,088
John: Devan, you really are
a great vocalist.
1088
00:43:08,129 --> 00:43:09,881
Thank you.
You have so much fire.
1089
00:43:09,923 --> 00:43:13,176
My only concern, there was
a little bit of accuracy issues
1090
00:43:13,218 --> 00:43:14,928
when it came
to some of the pitch.
1091
00:43:14,969 --> 00:43:16,930
Dana, you just look
natural up there.
1092
00:43:16,971 --> 00:43:18,264
And when it came to execution,
1093
00:43:18,306 --> 00:43:21,810
I felt like you were just
on point the whole time.
1094
00:43:21,851 --> 00:43:23,853
Thank you.
1095
00:43:23,895 --> 00:43:25,355
I fully forgot
that I was supposed to be,
1096
00:43:25,397 --> 00:43:27,857
like, taking mental notes,
I was just enjoying it.
1097
00:43:27,899 --> 00:43:31,111
So what I will say is that,
Dana,
1098
00:43:31,152 --> 00:43:35,115
you just exude
so much confidence.
1099
00:43:35,156 --> 00:43:38,410
It is hard to look away
from you. I'm just a fan.
1100
00:43:38,451 --> 00:43:41,287
And, Devan,
your flip to falsetto,
1101
00:43:41,329 --> 00:43:43,039
I heard it only
a couple times,
1102
00:43:43,081 --> 00:43:45,083
but it was like magic
when you did it.
1103
00:43:45,125 --> 00:43:47,460
I feel like when you have
a voice like that,
1104
00:43:47,502 --> 00:43:49,462
you can hit every note
in your chest voice.
1105
00:43:49,504 --> 00:43:51,297
But when you flip up
to your head voice,
1106
00:43:51,339 --> 00:43:53,925
it's just something special.
Thank you so much.
1107
00:43:53,967 --> 00:43:55,593
I loved hearing that,
but I'm not
1108
00:43:55,635 --> 00:43:57,137
gonna even pretend like I could
pick between you two, so...
1109
00:43:57,178 --> 00:43:59,305
Daly:
Thank you, Coaches.
1110
00:43:59,347 --> 00:44:01,057
Nick, you've got
the final decision.
1111
00:44:01,099 --> 00:44:02,684
Give us some thoughts
before you tell us who won.
1112
00:44:02,726 --> 00:44:04,769
Dana,
you're really special.
1113
00:44:04,811 --> 00:44:06,104
You know, t-there's just
something magical
1114
00:44:06,146 --> 00:44:08,982
about your voice
and your presence on stage.
1115
00:44:09,024 --> 00:44:10,942
And there's a joy
that surrounds you
1116
00:44:10,984 --> 00:44:12,444
and you just made
the environment,
1117
00:44:12,485 --> 00:44:14,029
the working environment
so much more fun to be in,
1118
00:44:14,070 --> 00:44:15,530
which is, I think,
of all the things,
1119
00:44:15,572 --> 00:44:17,407
the highest compliment
I could give you.
Thank you.
1120
00:44:17,449 --> 00:44:21,494
Devan, you came
and you worked your butt off.
1121
00:44:21,536 --> 00:44:24,039
Yes, he did.
And it was a tough battle here.
1122
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:26,082
I feel like I mishandled
this pairing,
1123
00:44:26,124 --> 00:44:28,043
and I'm kicking myself
for it
1124
00:44:28,084 --> 00:44:30,337
because you -- you really are
a great vocalist
1125
00:44:30,378 --> 00:44:32,088
and you do have
a very cool jacket on today.
1126
00:44:32,130 --> 00:44:34,090
I'm kind of jealous.
I feel like
the pants are underrated.
1127
00:44:34,132 --> 00:44:36,509
The pants are underrated.
I also like the pants
quite a bit, too.
1128
00:44:36,551 --> 00:44:37,761
Those are cool.
1129
00:44:37,802 --> 00:44:39,387
You have a lot to be proud of.
1130
00:44:39,429 --> 00:44:41,598
You came a long way from that
first blind audition to now.
1131
00:44:41,639 --> 00:44:43,933
And I think you should be really
proud of this performance.
1132
00:44:43,975 --> 00:44:45,185
Thank you, Nick.
Daly: Nick, tough one.
1133
00:44:45,226 --> 00:44:46,353
But the time has come.
1134
00:44:46,394 --> 00:44:48,355
Who is the winner
of this battle?

1139
00:45:02,327 --> 00:45:04,913
Daly: Dana Monique,
congratulations.
1140
00:45:04,954 --> 00:45:07,082
You're moving on
to the knockouts.
1141
00:45:07,123 --> 00:45:09,417
Dana Monique
is a force of nature.
1142
00:45:09,459 --> 00:45:10,835
Congratulations, Dana.
Thank you.
1143
00:45:10,877 --> 00:45:12,379
She came out today and proved
1144
00:45:12,420 --> 00:45:14,214
that she's got the kind of voice
1145
00:45:14,255 --> 00:45:16,508
that I think
could end up in the finale.
1146
00:45:16,549 --> 00:45:18,176
Whoo!
1147
00:45:18,218 --> 00:45:21,388
This means I'm going
to the knockouts, mm!
1148
00:45:21,429 --> 00:45:22,555
Daly:
Coaches, let me remind you,
1149
00:45:22,597 --> 00:45:24,307
Devan is available
to steal or save.
1150
00:45:24,349 --> 00:45:27,310
Devan, what would you like
to say to your coach?
1151
00:45:27,352 --> 00:45:29,145
I can't believe that
you were my coach,
1152
00:45:29,187 --> 00:45:31,231
and that I got to learn
so much from you.
1153
00:45:31,272 --> 00:45:33,233
And it's just been
a dream come true.
1154
00:45:33,274 --> 00:45:34,734
Thank you for everything.
1155
00:45:34,776 --> 00:45:36,361
Daly:
Give it up one more time
1156
00:45:36,403 --> 00:45:38,029
for Devan Blake Jones,
everybody!
All right, Devan!
1157
00:45:38,071 --> 00:45:39,656
Nick: Thanks, Devan.
Thank you.
1158
00:45:39,698 --> 00:45:41,533
Whoa!
1159
00:45:41,574 --> 00:45:43,785
Devan Blake Jones,
get back here!
1160
00:45:43,827 --> 00:45:46,579

[ Sobbing ] Whoo!
1163
00:45:50,625 --> 00:45:52,252
Can't go anywhere yet.
1164
00:45:52,293 --> 00:45:54,587
Aww.
Thank you, Nick.
1165
00:45:54,629 --> 00:45:56,423
I was not saying goodbye
to you today.
1166
00:45:56,464 --> 00:45:57,924
I have a lot of belief
in you,
1167
00:45:57,966 --> 00:46:01,011
but listen, I gave you
a-a really tough competitor
1168
00:46:01,052 --> 00:46:03,930
in this battle, and I think you
showed up and you nailed it.

And I want to keep
working with you.
1170

Daly: We'll see you in
the four-way knockout.
1172
00:46:10,645 --> 00:46:12,272
Don't lose
that jacket, Devan!
1173
00:46:12,313 --> 00:46:13,815
I'm keeping it.
It's a keeper.
1174
00:46:13,857 --> 00:46:16,443
I had to save Devan
because he rose to the occasion
1175
00:46:16,484 --> 00:46:18,403
and he deserves to stay
in this competition.
1176
00:46:18,445 --> 00:46:20,280
And I know that in
that four-way knockout,
1177
00:46:20,321 --> 00:46:22,615
he's gonna shine
and make Team Nick proud.
1178
00:46:22,657 --> 00:46:25,827
[ Sobbing ] I'm sorry.
Like, I wasn't thinking
1179
00:46:25,869 --> 00:46:29,205
that I was gonna get saved,
but I'm so thankful right now,
1180

and holy cow, man.
1181
00:46:31,124 --> 00:46:33,126
A lot of work to do.
1182
00:46:33,168 --> 00:46:35,587
Hey, Blake, have I ever told
you, you look like my dad?
1183
00:46:35,628 --> 00:46:37,297
Oh, my God.
1184
00:46:37,339 --> 00:46:38,840
So I'm going to start
calling you "Pops."
1185
00:46:38,882 --> 00:46:40,300
We call him Grandpa.
1186
00:46:40,342 --> 00:46:42,010
I'm sure your dad's a very
good-looking man then.

1191
00:46:54,439 --> 00:46:58,193
Brandy, I am so happy
to have you here today.
1192
00:46:58,234 --> 00:47:00,987
We have Brandy
as our adviser.
1193
00:47:01,029 --> 00:47:02,572
She's one of those icons.
1194
00:47:02,614 --> 00:47:04,866
She's been an actor,
an amazing singer.
1195
00:47:04,908 --> 00:47:07,494
She's been in this business
since she was a teenager.
1196
00:47:07,535 --> 00:47:10,538
And I'm so excited to see what
she can share with our artists.
1197
00:47:10,580 --> 00:47:12,582
You are like
a singer's singer.
1198
00:47:12,624 --> 00:47:16,211
This is a dream come true.
I always wanted to be a part of,

00:47:16,252 --> 00:47:18,546
you know,
"The Voice" and Team Legend.
1200

And I just feel like the energy.
I'm so excited.

to scare nobody.

you are battling Pia Renee!

Let's go!
Yay!
1204
00:47:32,352 --> 00:47:34,896
John paired me up
with Christine Cain.
1205
00:47:34,938 --> 00:47:37,857
She's very laid-back.
Our voices mesh well.
1206
00:47:37,899 --> 00:47:40,068
It's gonna be a vibe.
1207
00:47:40,110 --> 00:47:41,653
All righty,
we gotta be real close.
1208
00:47:41,695 --> 00:47:43,238
And here we go,
here we go.
1209
00:47:43,279 --> 00:47:44,572
Christine and Pia --
1210
00:47:44,614 --> 00:47:47,534
they're both charismatic,
cool women.
1211
00:47:47,575 --> 00:47:49,869
I knew they would
bring individuality
1212
00:47:49,911 --> 00:47:53,039
to whatever song they did,
and I picked a Brandy song.
1213
00:47:53,081 --> 00:47:55,583
I cannot wait to see
what they do with the song.
1214
00:47:55,625 --> 00:47:57,460
I'm about to go surprise them
right now.

Oh, my God. I hope
they're happy to see me.

I'm happy to see them.
1217
00:48:01,131 --> 00:48:05,468
So I picked Brandy's song,
"Baby."
1218
00:48:05,510 --> 00:48:09,514
This was my jam.
It's rhythmic. It's nostalgic.
1219
00:48:09,556 --> 00:48:13,268

mentor for the song

Brandy is an icon.
1225
00:48:24,654 --> 00:48:27,657
Me and my mom used
to bump her album "Full Moon,"
1226
00:48:27,699 --> 00:48:30,910
and I mean singing it
to the top of our lungs.
1227
00:48:30,952 --> 00:48:32,954
I'm so happy
to see y'all!

walking up in here like that!

Like, you mean a lot to me!

It's an honor for all of us
to have her here.
1231
00:48:40,045 --> 00:48:41,504
And it means a lot to me, too,
1232
00:48:41,546 --> 00:48:44,007
to do my song, "Baby,"
it's just unbelievable.

00:48:44,049 --> 00:48:47,427
I don't want to cry.
But I am -- I'm so excited.
1234
00:48:47,469 --> 00:48:49,512
Tell them what it was like
trying to pick a song
1235
00:48:49,554 --> 00:48:51,598
when you're like 15 years old
and you're --
1236
00:48:51,639 --> 00:48:53,391
Well, see, when you're 15,
you don't pick 'em.

00:48:53,433 --> 00:48:54,976
Somebody else picks them
for you.
Yeah.
1238
00:48:55,018 --> 00:48:56,895
Yeah!
But you also have
to connect to it.
1239
00:48:56,936 --> 00:48:59,647
So when I first heard "Baby,"
it was funky.
1240

watching her
live the life of a star.

00:49:08,114 --> 00:49:12,702
And it's almost like
I lived my dream through her.

Being the oldest
of eight siblings,
1246
00:49:14,621 --> 00:49:17,874
the mantle of responsibility
is just automatic.

Christine and Pia's version
of "Baby"
1276

is the grown-up version.

And since I'm grown now, I want
to do it that way as well.

Well, it's so interesting
hearing it stripped down

because it almost brings out
a different energy...

1281
00:50:33,199 --> 00:50:35,493

It felt like we were
in a jazz club.

like, you got
the right energy.
1286
00:50:41,291 --> 00:50:44,919
It's actually funny because
the song is completely opposite
1287
00:50:44,961 --> 00:50:46,171
of who I am.
1288
00:50:46,212 --> 00:50:47,922
Growing up, I did want to sing,
1289
00:50:47,964 --> 00:50:50,467
but I never really had
the confidence to pursue it
1290
00:50:50,508 --> 00:50:51,968
until recently.
1291
00:50:52,010 --> 00:50:54,679
I was actually going to school
for music business,
1292
00:50:54,721 --> 00:50:57,682
but I had a performance class,
part of my curriculum.
1293
00:50:57,724 --> 00:51:00,518
I got so much love back
that I was just like,

about her

Pia, I love where your notes
are ringing out.
1302
00:51:18,578 --> 00:51:20,038
Your vibrato is so dope.
Yeah.
1303
00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:22,290
I think you just got to
let your guard down, okay?
1304
00:51:22,332 --> 00:51:23,792
Okay.
It is definitely guarded.
1305
00:51:23,833 --> 00:51:26,461
Yeah. I just want you to be
looser throughout.
1306
00:51:26,503 --> 00:51:28,713
Okay.
You saying "Master Blaster"
when you came out here
1307
00:51:28,755 --> 00:51:30,715
and you were "jammin' until
the break of dawn."
1308
00:51:30,757 --> 00:51:33,134
And you know that's a way harder
song than "Baby"!
1309
00:51:33,176 --> 00:51:34,761
And, like, you got to, like,
give us all that charisma,
1310
00:51:34,803 --> 00:51:36,346
like, you hollerin' at somebody,
lettin' 'em know,
1311
00:51:36,388 --> 00:51:38,139
you know, they so fine.
1312
00:51:38,181 --> 00:51:41,476
I was wanting to make sure
that I nailed what I practiced
1313
00:51:41,518 --> 00:51:43,770
without getting so loose
that I got lost.
1314
00:51:43,812 --> 00:51:46,314
Christine is so ready
and so eager.
1315
00:51:46,356 --> 00:51:47,857
That challenges me
not to get lost
1316
00:51:47,899 --> 00:51:50,860
in my own thoughts
in the process.
1317
00:51:50,902 --> 00:51:52,904
Even though you guys are
completely different artists...
1318
00:51:52,946 --> 00:51:55,490
Yeah.
...you can still have
the same kind of character
1319
00:51:55,532 --> 00:51:58,201
and that may make it gel
a little bit more, I think.
1320
00:51:58,243 --> 00:51:59,661
The one thing
I would change,
1321
00:51:59,703 --> 00:52:02,831
I wouldn't take that
lower harmony on [vocalizing].
1322
00:52:02,872 --> 00:52:05,041
Mm-hmm.
I would go,
* Don't know that *
1323
00:52:05,083 --> 00:52:08,044
* You're so fine *
* You're so fine *
* You're so fine *
1324
00:52:08,086 --> 00:52:09,462
That's it.
Okay.
1325
00:52:09,504 --> 00:52:11,423
Who's singing,
"I'm not trying to be rude"?
1326
00:52:11,464 --> 00:52:13,883
Can you go * Rude *
with her?
1327
00:52:13,925 --> 00:52:15,844
Yeah.
Only because that's something
1328
00:52:15,885 --> 00:52:19,014
that happens when I sing it, and
I just want that right there.
1329
00:52:19,055 --> 00:52:20,807
Brandy's just giving y'all
the blueprint...

1332
00:52:23,935 --> 00:52:26,688
I would say the key
to performing "Baby"
1333
00:52:26,730 --> 00:52:28,481
is to just let go and have fun.
1334

Yes!
1335
00:52:30,316 --> 00:52:31,693
It's really good.

00:52:31,735 --> 00:52:35,030
It's really getting --
You loosened up so much!
1337
00:52:35,071 --> 00:52:37,615
Thank you. Uh, yeah.
I still think you can
afford to loosen up more.
1338
00:52:37,657 --> 00:52:39,367
I'm going to see
who brings it on stage,
1339
00:52:39,409 --> 00:52:42,370
because Christine right now
had a better rehearsal,
1340
00:52:42,412 --> 00:52:44,039
but I know Pia can do it.
1341
00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:45,874
I think once the band's playing
and everything,
1342
00:52:45,915 --> 00:52:47,709
y'all are gonna
even get more hyped.
1343

And it's just gonna be
all about vibe and energy.
1344
00:52:49,711 --> 00:52:52,672
If Pia steps her game up,
then she can challenge Christine
1345
00:52:52,714 --> 00:52:54,090
and we'll see what happens.
1346
00:52:54,132 --> 00:52:56,343
Are we allowed to talk
about "Moesha" at all?

it's really important
to know yourself like that.

I just saw two seconds
where you got in your head.

I would encourage you to be
really mindful of those moments.

I am a fan of both of you,
but God, I hate picking!

I just wish I could --
Can this turn me around?
1423
00:56:29,014 --> 00:56:31,266
If it could, then we would
ask Kelly to do it

1425
00:56:34,227 --> 00:56:36,271
Christine, you're such
a good singer,
1426
00:56:36,312 --> 00:56:39,190
but at times it felt
like you were so laid-back.
1427
00:56:39,232 --> 00:56:42,318
And then it goes to Pia
and she would explode
1428
00:56:42,360 --> 00:56:45,405
with these vocal moments
that would really hit the mark.
1429
00:56:45,447 --> 00:56:48,992
So for that reason,
I think I'd be going with Pia.
Okay.
1430
00:56:49,034 --> 00:56:51,745

"explosive."

We'll talk about that
later.

Christine, let me start
with you. I get the sense
1437
00:57:02,339 --> 00:57:04,758
that you're someone that's
been singing for a long time.
1438
00:57:04,799 --> 00:57:06,426
Is that true?
Not even close.
1439
00:57:06,468 --> 00:57:09,346
Well, then I'm shocked because
that -- you're singing like
1440

for 25 years.

I mean, it truly --
She's 28.
1442
00:57:13,183 --> 00:57:16,561
My point is just that it seems
like you've crafted your voice
1443
00:57:16,603 --> 00:57:20,106
perfectly for what you do
and that is an impressive thing.
1444

And, Pia, you've got this
natural thing about you.
1445

Your first note
was so electric.

for the whole performance.

a great choice either way.

rehearsal, Christine,

the way you are so laid-back,
it kind of felt like
1451
00:57:39,918 --> 00:57:42,504
that was the way you were
supposed to sing it,
1452

but it was like a little less
1453

once the band was here.

Nick: The two we're gonna hear
today are incredible,
1497
00:59:29,736 --> 00:59:31,196
but one of the cool things,
too,
1498
00:59:31,237 --> 00:59:33,031
is that this is my second time
hearing them sing.
1499
00:59:33,073 --> 00:59:34,366
I paired Awari and Jose.
1500
00:59:34,407 --> 00:59:36,826
Both kind of have
an R&B, soul,
1501
00:59:36,868 --> 00:59:38,161
gospel feel
to their voices.
1502
00:59:38,203 --> 00:59:41,164
The voices that I always
was so terrified.
1503
00:59:41,206 --> 00:59:43,625
Jealous of.
Jealous, let's be real.
1504
00:59:43,667 --> 00:59:45,710
Like, I didn't want to say the
word jealous in front of you,
1505
00:59:45,752 --> 00:59:47,462
but, uh, yes,
it's these guys.
1506
00:59:47,504 --> 00:59:49,172
For me and my roots
singing in church,
1507
00:59:49,214 --> 00:59:51,675
I knew I need these guys
on my team.
1508
00:59:51,716 --> 00:59:54,302
Hey, look who it is!
1509
00:59:54,344 --> 00:59:57,889
Hey.
Darren Criss
and Nick Jonas.
1510
00:59:57,931 --> 01:00:00,392
What's going on?
Somebody thought I was tall.
1511
01:00:00,433 --> 01:00:02,268
If they set the mic up taller
than you,
1512
01:00:02,310 --> 01:00:05,355
that means that you have, like,
big-dude energy with your voice.
1513
01:00:05,397 --> 01:00:08,066
As a smaller gentleman myself,
I completely relate.
1514
01:00:08,108 --> 01:00:09,526
I'll take it.
1515
01:00:09,567 --> 01:00:11,361
Well, Darren's been a long-time
friend of mine.
1516
01:00:11,403 --> 01:00:13,238
He brings, you know, perspective
that not a lot of people bring
1517
01:00:13,279 --> 01:00:15,532
as an actor,
as a musician, performer.
1518
01:00:15,573 --> 01:00:18,326
He's got a lot of depth
and knows how to tell a story,
1519
01:00:18,368 --> 01:00:21,746
which for a song like this,
"You Say," it is so important.
1520
01:00:21,788 --> 01:00:25,166
Lauren Daigle was absolutely in
touch with her inner source.
1521
01:00:25,208 --> 01:00:27,085
I know, Jose, you sang in
church, is that right?
1522
01:00:27,127 --> 01:00:28,420
Yes, sir.
1523
01:00:28,461 --> 01:00:30,130
Jose: I pretty much sang
in church my whole life,
1524
01:00:30,171 --> 01:00:31,464
but I'm also a pastor.
1525
01:00:31,506 --> 01:00:33,800
Right now, I started to do
Bible studies
1526
01:00:33,842 --> 01:00:34,884
in my girlfriend's house.
1527
01:00:34,926 --> 01:00:37,095
She comes as a package deal.
1528
01:00:37,137 --> 01:00:41,099
She has 6 kids
from the age of 7 to 21.
1529
01:00:41,141 --> 01:00:44,227
There's never a dull moment
from playing games
1530
01:00:44,269 --> 01:00:45,603
to singing together.
1531
01:00:45,645 --> 01:00:49,441
It's almost like having
my own Brady Bunch.
1532
01:00:49,482 --> 01:00:52,068
That's really one of the reasons
why I go so hard.
1533
01:00:52,110 --> 01:00:55,530
And I want all of them to see
that dreams can become reality.
1534
01:00:55,572 --> 01:00:57,574
Here I am and --
and I'm ready to go.
1535
01:00:57,615 --> 01:01:01,578
Awari, given your soul vibe you
gave me in the blind auditions,
1536
01:01:01,619 --> 01:01:03,788
I just felt like let's branch
it out a little bit more.
1537
01:01:03,830 --> 01:01:07,083
Right.
Do something that just opened
your voice up a little bit.
1538
01:01:07,125 --> 01:01:08,585
Gives you
the ability to soar.
1539
01:01:08,626 --> 01:01:10,462
"You Say"
is a very important song for me
1540
01:01:10,503 --> 01:01:13,673
because it is literally
the soundtrack
1541
01:01:13,715 --> 01:01:15,884
of a season in my life.
1542
01:01:15,925 --> 01:01:17,677
I was going through a divorce.
1543
01:01:17,719 --> 01:01:19,637
I became a single father.
1544
01:01:19,679 --> 01:01:23,016
And it speaks all the words
my heart wanted to say
1545
01:01:23,058 --> 01:01:24,225
but could not say.
1546
01:01:24,267 --> 01:01:26,269
In the last eight years,
1547
01:01:26,311 --> 01:01:29,856
we moved six times
to support my family.
1548
01:01:29,898 --> 01:01:32,650
It's been humbling
and adventurous.
1549
01:01:32,692 --> 01:01:36,488
Being here today, it's not easy,
but it just hits differently
1550
01:01:36,529 --> 01:01:38,323
because I'm away pursuing
a dream.
1551
01:01:38,365 --> 01:01:41,242
* 'Cause my heart starts beating
triple time *
1552
01:01:41,284 --> 01:01:42,952
A year ago, I was
in the Air Force as an aviator.
1553
01:01:42,994 --> 01:01:44,496
* With thoughts of loving you
on my mind *
Yeah.
1554
01:01:44,537 --> 01:01:47,165
So I'm just taking it one step
at a time.
1555
01:01:47,207 --> 01:01:48,708
Should we get into it?
Sounds good. Let's do it.
1556
01:01:48,750 --> 01:01:50,126
Sure.
I think you gotta
adjust that mic first.
1557
01:01:50,168 --> 01:01:52,504
Just a little bit.
[ Laughter ]
1558
01:01:52,545 --> 01:01:54,798
* I keep fighting voices
in my mind *
1559
01:01:54,839 --> 01:02:00,512
Awari has like a God-given R&B
voice that is really sexy.
1560
01:02:00,553 --> 01:02:04,557
It's got this, like, higher
baritone, low tenor register,
1561
01:02:04,599 --> 01:02:07,686
and he cuts through with this
really interesting husk
1562
01:02:07,727 --> 01:02:10,522
that he can kind of wield
like a sorcerer.
1563
01:02:10,563 --> 01:02:12,190
* Am I more than just the sum
of every high and every low *
1564
01:02:12,232 --> 01:02:14,275
There's a looseness
that Jose has,
1565
01:02:14,317 --> 01:02:16,695
and talk about vocal theatrics
and acrobatics.
1566
01:02:16,736 --> 01:02:19,239
This is a skill set that you're
just kind of born with.
1567
01:02:19,280 --> 01:02:22,033
* You say I am held *
1568
01:02:22,075 --> 01:02:23,785
Whoo!
1569
01:02:23,827 --> 01:02:26,037
I was really moved by how well
1570
01:02:26,079 --> 01:02:28,206
they identified with the song.
1571
01:02:28,248 --> 01:02:30,500
That's the magic sauce, man.
Yeah!
1572
01:02:30,542 --> 01:02:32,252
All right, man.
Nice.
1573
01:02:32,293 --> 01:02:33,545
So many fun things
going on there.
1574
01:02:33,586 --> 01:02:35,463
Jose, the breathiness
in your tone --
1575
01:02:35,505 --> 01:02:37,632
Ben Platt comes to mind, who's a
vocalist that I'm envious of...
1576
01:02:37,674 --> 01:02:39,426
I love him. He's great.
...and think he's incredible.
1577
01:02:39,467 --> 01:02:41,428
And, Awari, Luther Vandross
comes to mind,
1578
01:02:41,469 --> 01:02:43,471
someone like that, who's just
got that big, powerful voice
1579
01:02:43,513 --> 01:02:45,682
but also knows how to control it
in the softer moments.
1580
01:02:45,724 --> 01:02:47,600
You guys can do vocal
acrobatics for days.
1581
01:02:47,642 --> 01:02:49,394
Just make sure your intervals
are close enough
1582
01:02:49,436 --> 01:02:51,229
to where you're not rubbing
against each other.
1583
01:02:51,271 --> 01:02:52,313
Needs to have
real intention.
1584
01:02:52,355 --> 01:02:53,690
Yeah.
You want to hear that...
1585
01:02:53,732 --> 01:02:55,400
* Ooh, oh *
Just make sure
1586
01:02:55,442 --> 01:02:57,152
that it rings out...
Yeah, the punctuation.
1587
01:02:57,193 --> 01:02:58,611
...and you meant it.
100%.
1588
01:02:58,653 --> 01:03:00,447
We don't have an audience
on the show right now.
1589
01:03:00,488 --> 01:03:03,324
But the audience is the camera
and that's how the audience
1590
01:03:03,366 --> 01:03:05,076
at home is going to experience
this with you.
1591
01:03:05,118 --> 01:03:07,287
Just open your eyes, connect --
even connecting with us
1592
01:03:07,328 --> 01:03:09,247
in this moment --
imagine we're the camera
1593
01:03:09,289 --> 01:03:10,707
and we need to see it
and feel it from you.
1594
01:03:10,749 --> 01:03:12,375
When we did "Glee" for years
and years and years,
1595
01:03:12,417 --> 01:03:13,710
it was singing on camera.
1596
01:03:13,752 --> 01:03:15,378
I come from a background
of like
1597
01:03:15,420 --> 01:03:17,380
playing an instrument
and playing.
1598
01:03:17,422 --> 01:03:21,634
So the camera is dictating
the emotional experience,
1599
01:03:21,676 --> 01:03:24,804
being able to be sort of
a vessel of a certain emotion.
1600
01:03:24,846 --> 01:03:27,849
That's one of the most magical
things about the sort of
1601
01:03:27,891 --> 01:03:29,893
transferability -- trans--
Is that a word?
1602
01:03:29,934 --> 01:03:31,728
I like it.
Let's go with it.
It works.
1603
01:03:31,770 --> 01:03:34,189
The transferable nature
of songs.
1604
01:03:34,230 --> 01:03:35,648
It's already -- It's already
trending on Twitter.
1605
01:03:35,690 --> 01:03:37,942
Okay, good. #transferbing?
I dunno.
1606
01:03:37,984 --> 01:03:39,694
* You say I am *
1607
01:03:39,736 --> 01:03:41,112
* Yours *
1608
01:03:41,154 --> 01:03:43,031
Darren: Nick's got to choose
between Awari and Jose,
1609
01:03:43,073 --> 01:03:44,657
and I do not envy that decision.
1610
01:03:44,699 --> 01:03:46,910
I would pay money to not have
to ever make that decision.
1611
01:03:46,951 --> 01:03:48,495
Nice, yeah.
So good.
1612
01:03:48,536 --> 01:03:49,871
The growth we've seen
already is insane.
1613
01:03:49,913 --> 01:03:51,623
It's gonna be
a very special performance
1614
01:03:51,664 --> 01:03:53,416
that I think is going to touch
a lot of people's lives.
1615
01:03:53,458 --> 01:03:55,710
And you should be proud
of that.
Yeah, yeah, I'm excited that
1616
01:03:55,752 --> 01:03:57,504
people get to hear your voice,
myself included,
1617
01:03:57,545 --> 01:03:58,880
and I think Nick's lucky
to have you guys.
1618
01:03:58,922 --> 01:04:00,590
This one's gonna be
a tough choice.
1619
01:04:00,632 --> 01:04:02,092
High fives all around.
High five.
1620
01:04:02,133 --> 01:04:03,426
Nice to meet you guys.
1621
01:04:03,468 --> 01:04:05,303
They've got really unique,
different voices,
1622
01:04:05,345 --> 01:04:07,389
and right now,
they're neck and neck.
1623
01:04:14,020 --> 01:04:15,188
* This is "The Voice" *
1624
01:04:15,230 --> 01:04:16,856

* I believe *
1663
01:06:34,661 --> 01:06:37,997
* Taking all I have
and now *
1664
01:06:38,039 --> 01:06:40,041
* I'm laying it *
1665
01:06:40,083 --> 01:06:48,425
* At your feet *
1666
01:06:48,466 --> 01:06:50,552
[ Cheers and applause ]
1667
01:06:50,593 --> 01:06:52,929
John: Beautiful!
1668
01:06:52,971 --> 01:06:55,890
I love that.
That was great.
1669
01:06:58,893 --> 01:07:02,731
This is a genuinely tough
decision, I believe, Nick Jonas.
1670
01:07:02,772 --> 01:07:05,900
I feel like, Jose, your voice
is a little more fluid
1671
01:07:05,942 --> 01:07:07,861
and, like, it feels a little
more effortless.
1672
01:07:07,902 --> 01:07:09,821
Thank you.
But, Awari,
1673
01:07:09,863 --> 01:07:14,492
I love how, like, just strong
and really solid your voice is.
1674
01:07:14,534 --> 01:07:16,661
Thank you.
And so, Nick, I might
1675
01:07:16,703 --> 01:07:19,122
very slightly edge
toward Awari.
1676
01:07:19,164 --> 01:07:21,624
I'm not even sure about that.
It's very close.
1677
01:07:21,666 --> 01:07:23,501
That was so helpful.
Thank you.
1678
01:07:23,543 --> 01:07:25,795
Kelsea: Yeah.
I'll be honest, Awari,
1679
01:07:25,837 --> 01:07:28,465
as soon as you opened your
mouth, I was like, "Wwwmp."
1680
01:07:28,506 --> 01:07:30,884
Your tone is crazy.
1681
01:07:30,925 --> 01:07:34,387
Thank you.
And your range is beautiful.
1682
01:07:34,429 --> 01:07:36,848
Jose, the runs
you were doing,
1683
01:07:36,890 --> 01:07:38,641
that was like
so impressive to me.
1684
01:07:38,683 --> 01:07:40,060
Thank you.
I can't wait
to hear you just,
1685
01:07:40,101 --> 01:07:42,228
like, tone it back
and you're like,
1686
01:07:42,270 --> 01:07:43,897
I'm gonna drop one
1687
01:07:43,938 --> 01:07:45,231
and I'm gonna let you
simmer on it for a minute.
1688
01:07:45,273 --> 01:07:46,566
Yeah.
Mm.
1689
01:07:46,608 --> 01:07:47,942
You guys
are both incredible,
1690
01:07:47,984 --> 01:07:49,819
and I don't even feel worthy of
saying anything
1691
01:07:49,861 --> 01:07:52,530
other than like
you should both win.
1692
01:07:52,572 --> 01:07:54,324
So I'm gonna not do that.
1693
01:07:54,366 --> 01:07:55,909
Sorry, Nick.
1694
01:07:55,950 --> 01:07:57,452
So helpful again.
1695
01:07:57,494 --> 01:07:58,828
Blake: Awari, I agree.
1696
01:07:58,870 --> 01:08:00,955
You're not throwing out
a bunch of tricks.
1697
01:08:00,997 --> 01:08:03,833
You're just kind of letting
the rawness of your voice
1698
01:08:03,875 --> 01:08:05,877
be the strength
of your voice.
1699
01:08:05,919 --> 01:08:07,754
And the other side of that
is Jose's approach,
1700
01:08:07,796 --> 01:08:09,756
which is what Kelsea's
talking about,
1701
01:08:09,798 --> 01:08:11,841
all these runs and crazy things
that you can do.
1702
01:08:11,883 --> 01:08:14,594
I can't actually relate
to that ability.
1703
01:08:14,636 --> 01:08:16,888
I know all you guys
are super surprised
1704
01:08:16,930 --> 01:08:20,600
that I don't throw out
a lot of runs when I'm singing.
1705
01:08:20,642 --> 01:08:22,644
He's the Luther Vandross
of country music.
1706
01:08:22,686 --> 01:08:23,937
[ Laughter ]
Yep.
1707
01:08:23,978 --> 01:08:25,939
Fans are tweeting
right now.
1708
01:08:25,980 --> 01:08:27,982
"Did he just compare
Blake to Luther?!
1709
01:08:28,024 --> 01:08:30,068
I hate this show!"
1710
01:08:30,110 --> 01:08:33,947
But I agree with Kelsea that
a little bit goes a long way.
1711
01:08:33,988 --> 01:08:36,908
I think it's an easier thing
to dial back.
1712
01:08:36,950 --> 01:08:40,245
And for that reason,
I would go with Jose.
1713
01:08:40,286 --> 01:08:41,496
Daly: Thank you, Coaches.
1714
01:08:41,538 --> 01:08:42,872
Nick, you've got
the final decision.
1715
01:08:42,914 --> 01:08:44,499
Give us some thoughts
on the battle first.
1716
01:08:44,541 --> 01:08:46,167
I thought the performance
was phenomenal.
1717
01:08:46,209 --> 01:08:48,169
I'll be honest, I think some of
the nerves and other things
1718
01:08:48,211 --> 01:08:49,963
got to both of you,
and I could feel that.
1719
01:08:50,005 --> 01:08:52,090
And when you finally opened up
and allowed yourselves
1720
01:08:52,132 --> 01:08:54,843
to be free in this song,
it brought me to church.
1721
01:08:54,884 --> 01:08:57,178
And it was
a really beautiful thing.
1722
01:08:57,220 --> 01:09:01,307
Awari, it's just so incredible
to see how willing you are
1723
01:09:01,349 --> 01:09:03,143
to jump in when you're in
a competitive setting
1724
01:09:03,184 --> 01:09:06,146
to cheer on your teammate,
knowing you're gonna be going
1725
01:09:06,187 --> 01:09:08,648
head-to-head in this battle,
is admirable.
1726
01:09:08,690 --> 01:09:10,316
So thank you for that.
1727
01:09:10,358 --> 01:09:12,902
And, Jose, you have the ability
to hit your runs with precision.
1728
01:09:12,944 --> 01:09:14,279
You're out here
swinging for the fences.
1729
01:09:14,320 --> 01:09:16,239
A-And I like that ambition,
that passion.
1730
01:09:16,281 --> 01:09:18,366
You know,
this is a really tough choice.
Thank you, I appreciate --
1731
01:09:18,408 --> 01:09:20,493
Daly: Nick, tough one here,
buddy, but the time has come.
1732
01:09:20,535 --> 01:09:22,120
Who is the winner
of this battle?
1733
01:09:22,162 --> 01:09:27,250
**
1734
01:09:27,292 --> 01:09:30,545
The winner of this battle...
1735
01:09:30,587 --> 01:09:32,422
is Jose.
1736
01:09:32,464 --> 01:09:36,968
Daly: Jose Figueroa Jr., you're
moving on to the knockouts.
1737
01:09:37,010 --> 01:09:38,345
Congratulations!
1738
01:09:38,386 --> 01:09:40,889
Jose: I'm ecstatic to be able to
stay on Nick's team.
1739
01:09:40,930 --> 01:09:42,140
There's still more to prove,
1740
01:09:42,182 --> 01:09:43,933
and I'm ready
to continue to prove it.
1741
01:09:43,975 --> 01:09:46,269
Coaches, let me remind you,
Awari is available to steal.
1742
01:09:46,311 --> 01:09:48,021
Awari, anything
you'd like to say to Nick?
1743
01:09:48,063 --> 01:09:50,940
I just want to thank you
for the time and the energy
1744
01:09:50,982 --> 01:09:53,276
that you've invested in me
and my future.
1745
01:09:53,318 --> 01:09:55,737
Thank you, man.
Daly: Give it up for Awari,
1746
01:09:55,779 --> 01:09:58,073
ladies and gentlemen!
Nick: Really tough decision.
1747
01:09:58,114 --> 01:10:01,493
Awari and Jose both rose
to the occasion.
1748
01:10:01,534 --> 01:10:02,744
Good luck, man.
1749
01:10:02,786 --> 01:10:04,704
I had to go with Jose
because he's been
1750
01:10:04,746 --> 01:10:06,706
doing this for a long time.
1751
01:10:06,748 --> 01:10:08,249
So I know I can throw anything
at him
1752
01:10:08,291 --> 01:10:10,835
and he's gonna come
with something really special.
1753
01:10:10,877 --> 01:10:13,630
Oh!
Kelsea: Awari's amazing.
1754
01:10:13,672 --> 01:10:16,424
I wasn't sure how he would fit
on Kelly's team,
1755
01:10:16,466 --> 01:10:18,176
so I'm holding out for the one.
1756
01:10:18,218 --> 01:10:20,011
I thought you guys were gonna
steal him, honestly.
1757
01:10:20,053 --> 01:10:22,180
I was waiting for Kelsea --
I was looking at you!
1758
01:10:22,222 --> 01:10:25,684
We're "Shellerini," come on.
We're -- We're "Blousea."
1759
01:10:25,725 --> 01:10:27,018
The alliance?
"Blousea"?
1760
01:10:27,060 --> 01:10:28,478
Or "Belsea," whatever.
"Belsea"?
1761
01:10:28,520 --> 01:10:30,980
Belsea?
I had a cow named Betsy
growing up,
1762
01:10:31,022 --> 01:10:34,984
and I swear to God,
that just is too close.
1763
01:10:41,449 --> 01:10:42,659
* This is "The Voice" *
1764
01:10:42,701 --> 01:10:45,787
Daly: Welcome back.
1765
01:10:45,829 --> 01:10:48,748
Come on in here.
That's Ethan. There's Avery.
1766
01:10:48,790 --> 01:10:51,668
What's up, fellas?
This is Dan + Shay.
1767
01:10:51,710 --> 01:10:53,586
Oh, my goodness.
1768
01:10:53,628 --> 01:10:55,922
Dan + Shay was standing right
there, so I was like, pshh!
1769
01:10:55,964 --> 01:10:57,298
How are you guys doing,
man?
1770
01:10:57,340 --> 01:10:59,384
I'm kind of just excited
to be here right now.
1771
01:10:59,426 --> 01:11:03,013
They got like range out the roof
and really good harmony.
1772
01:11:03,054 --> 01:11:05,306
So I think they can give me
and Ethan some awesome advice.
1773
01:11:05,348 --> 01:11:07,142
How tall are you, man?
I'm not as tall as
1774
01:11:07,183 --> 01:11:09,811
I probably look
at this moment.
1775
01:11:09,853 --> 01:11:12,439
I hate being around Blake,
'cause I'm 6'2".
1776
01:11:12,480 --> 01:11:15,316
And so...TV is incredible.
[ Laughter ]
1777
01:11:15,358 --> 01:11:18,028
It's not.
Y'all gonna make my cheeks hurt,
y'all gotta quit.
1778
01:11:18,069 --> 01:11:19,779
It's just crazy.
I never would have thought
1779
01:11:19,821 --> 01:11:22,699
I'd actually be here singing in
front of all these celebrities.
1780
01:11:22,741 --> 01:11:24,993
* Lay me down *
1781
01:11:25,035 --> 01:11:27,537
[ Cheers and applause ]
1782
01:11:27,579 --> 01:11:29,497
The fact that four of 'em
turned for me, it was awesome
1783
01:11:29,539 --> 01:11:33,877
because music, it's a huge part
of my family and it means a lot.
1784
01:11:33,918 --> 01:11:36,421
Since I was around
five years old,
1785
01:11:36,463 --> 01:11:38,340
we've had foster kids
come in and out
1786
01:11:38,381 --> 01:11:41,843
and I connected with the
majority of them through music.
1787
01:11:41,885 --> 01:11:43,845
To share the music
with all the kids,
1788
01:11:43,887 --> 01:11:45,388
I feel like I'm showing them
1789
01:11:45,430 --> 01:11:47,974
that even if you come from
this little small county,
1790
01:11:48,016 --> 01:11:49,684
you can still end up
doing things like this.
1791
01:11:49,726 --> 01:11:52,312
You just got to believe
in yourself and go with it.
1792
01:11:52,354 --> 01:11:53,229
Run with it.
1793
01:11:53,271 --> 01:11:54,856
You guys are both
super young,
1794
01:11:54,898 --> 01:11:56,524
super country.
1795
01:11:56,566 --> 01:11:59,194
And I just wanted to figure out
which one of you two
1796
01:11:59,235 --> 01:12:01,905
has a clear path
on my team.
1797
01:12:01,946 --> 01:12:04,157
* You don't have to go now,
honey *
1798
01:12:04,199 --> 01:12:06,826
I gave Avery and Ethan
"I Just Got Started Lovin' You"
1799
01:12:06,868 --> 01:12:08,828
by James Otto.
Yeah.
1800
01:12:08,870 --> 01:12:11,206
* Baby, there ain't nothin' *
Blake:
This song is tricky to sing,
1801
01:12:11,247 --> 01:12:13,625
and it comes right out of
the gate challenging you
1802
01:12:13,667 --> 01:12:14,918
on your lower register.
1803
01:12:14,959 --> 01:12:16,544
* I'm thankful
for the weekend *
1804
01:12:16,586 --> 01:12:20,840
Ethan is this very almost
in-your-face, confident cowboy.
1805
01:12:20,882 --> 01:12:22,759
* What can I say? *
1806
01:12:22,801 --> 01:12:26,388
Avery is more introverted,
very thoughtful.
1807
01:12:26,429 --> 01:12:29,224
They're completely different
as far as their artistry goes.
1808
01:12:29,265 --> 01:12:31,434
Girls are gonna go nuts
for -- for these dudes, man.
1809
01:12:31,476 --> 01:12:33,478
I'm goin' nuts for 'em.
I can't imagine being back
in your hometown.
1810
01:12:33,520 --> 01:12:36,106
You guys are in trouble.
I don't really connect
with the song.
1811
01:12:36,147 --> 01:12:37,440
I'm still pretty young.
1812
01:12:37,482 --> 01:12:39,317
I don't think I'm gonna be
marrying any--
1813
01:12:39,359 --> 01:12:42,237
anybody anytime soon,
but Avery's a good storyteller,
1814
01:12:42,278 --> 01:12:45,240
so I'm gonna have to do
everything I can to make sure
1815
01:12:45,281 --> 01:12:47,117
that, you know,
I can keep up with him.
1816
01:12:47,158 --> 01:12:49,786
You play a lot of shows?
I play a few fall festivals,
1817
01:12:49,828 --> 01:12:52,580
but like three since
I've been singing.
1818
01:12:52,622 --> 01:12:53,873
I'm 17.
1819
01:12:53,915 --> 01:12:55,542
Man.
That's unbelievable.
1820
01:12:55,583 --> 01:12:57,377
It looks like he's just been
doing this for years and years.
1821
01:12:57,419 --> 01:12:59,254
Ethan:
Being a junior in high school,
1822
01:12:59,295 --> 01:13:02,215
all the places I've performed
have been like 20 people.
1823
01:13:02,257 --> 01:13:05,385
I mean, not very many at all,
so you never expect
1824
01:13:05,427 --> 01:13:08,930
that you're going to make it
somewhere like "The Voice."

* You look so good in love *
1826
01:13:11,307 --> 01:13:13,810
I seen
Blake's chair turn around,
1827
01:13:13,852 --> 01:13:15,437
somebody that has been
on the radio
1828
01:13:15,478 --> 01:13:19,607
since I was a little baby,
I just about blacked out.
1829
01:13:19,649 --> 01:13:22,110
Now, to have him as a coach
with Dan + Shay,
1830
01:13:22,152 --> 01:13:25,280
you have the best teachers
that there are to teach you.
1831
01:13:25,321 --> 01:13:27,699
So it's -- it's pretty cool.
This song,
1832
01:13:27,741 --> 01:13:29,951
it's not
a cakewalk vocally.
1833
01:13:29,993 --> 01:13:32,328
I mean, this covers
both ends of his range.
1834
01:13:32,370 --> 01:13:35,331
So you definitely got your work
cut out for you here.
1835
01:13:35,373 --> 01:13:37,417
I'm not really used to showing
that much range
1836
01:13:37,459 --> 01:13:40,503
and having that transition
from a high note to a low note
1837
01:13:40,545 --> 01:13:43,882
in .3 seconds
is kind of a hard thing to do.
1838
01:13:43,923 --> 01:13:45,508
So it takes a little
getting used to.
1839
01:13:45,550 --> 01:13:47,844
You have to lay everything
that you have out on the table.
1840
01:13:47,886 --> 01:13:49,512
No one's gonna
give it to you.
1841
01:13:49,554 --> 01:13:51,431
That's just not how it works.
You know, you got to take it.
1842
01:13:51,473 --> 01:13:54,601
That top note in that first run
is falling a little bit flat.
1843
01:13:54,642 --> 01:13:55,935
Right.
You've got the notes.
1844
01:13:55,977 --> 01:13:57,020
Like, just the confidence.
1845
01:13:57,062 --> 01:13:59,272
You are too talented
of a vocalist
1846
01:13:59,314 --> 01:14:02,275
to appear like you're too afraid
to perform like this.
1847
01:14:02,317 --> 01:14:05,320
You got to figure out a way to
make that feeling go away.
1848
01:14:05,362 --> 01:14:07,781
Today I didn't think I'd be
as nervous as I was.
1849
01:14:07,822 --> 01:14:09,824
I just got to break out
of that shell and have fun
1850
01:14:09,866 --> 01:14:13,286
because Ethan, he's not one to
mess with in there, you know?
1851
01:14:13,328 --> 01:14:14,579
He -- He can't be taken lightly.
1852
01:14:14,621 --> 01:14:16,247
You don't need to be
shaking your hips,
1853
01:14:16,289 --> 01:14:18,041
you know, like Blake Shelton
does up there.
1854
01:14:18,083 --> 01:14:19,459
Right, right.
It works for him.
1855
01:14:19,501 --> 01:14:21,336
But it can be as small
as just one little smile,
1856
01:14:21,378 --> 01:14:23,380
just like that, you know?
Yeah.
Definitely, man.

It's in there.

these are like Grammy type
productions -- enjoy it.
1860
01:14:30,345 --> 01:14:33,098
I had songs on the radio
for seven or eight years
1861
01:14:33,139 --> 01:14:34,516
before I was ever even on

you know, and you guys
1864
01:14:38,937 --> 01:14:40,730
are starting at that level,
so...
1865
01:14:40,772 --> 01:14:43,274
And that was in the
'20s and they didn't
have that much radio.

the country music world.
1872
01:14:55,203 --> 01:14:56,746
I think he's gonna
push each of them individually
1873
01:14:56,788 --> 01:14:58,832
to be that much better, and they
both got to bring the heat,

And it made me want to, like,
go down to Broadway
1989
01:20:18,151 --> 01:20:20,987
and have a drink, so that in
itself is like country music.
1990
01:20:21,029 --> 01:20:23,573
And I love that.
I don't know, Pops.
1991
01:20:23,615 --> 01:20:25,450
You got a good decision
on your hands down there.
1992
01:20:25,492 --> 01:20:26,868
A quandary.
Daly: Thank you, Coaches.
1993
01:20:26,910 --> 01:20:28,703
All right, Pops,
it's up to you.
1994
01:20:28,745 --> 01:20:31,122
Give us some thoughts.
It is a tough song.
1995
01:20:31,164 --> 01:20:33,458
It pushes you up there as much
as it pushes you down there.
1996
01:20:33,500 --> 01:20:35,418
You know, for me it does,
anyway.
1997
01:20:35,460 --> 01:20:37,587
[ Laughter ]
1998
01:20:37,629 --> 01:20:40,090
But I didn't learn that
about you until we started.
1999
01:20:40,131 --> 01:20:41,466
And it was like, whoa.
2000
01:20:41,508 --> 01:20:43,385
And you made Nick
feel like half a man.
2001
01:20:43,426 --> 01:20:45,136
True.
That's Nick Jonas.
2002
01:20:45,178 --> 01:20:46,971
He felt * Jealous *
2003
01:20:47,013 --> 01:20:48,598
Oh, yeah.
Well-played.
2004
01:20:48,640 --> 01:20:49,933
Which is gonna be
your next song
2005
01:20:49,974 --> 01:20:51,601
if you stay
on the show all the way.
2006
01:20:51,643 --> 01:20:53,603
That's great,
that's great, I love that.
2007
01:20:53,645 --> 01:20:57,107
Avery, I mean,
you came in high demand.
2008
01:20:57,148 --> 01:20:58,775
Ethan had one chair --
me.
2009
01:20:58,817 --> 01:21:00,819
You had all four coaches
trying to get you.
2010
01:21:00,860 --> 01:21:05,448
And it was because of your
ability to connect with a lyric.
2011
01:21:05,490 --> 01:21:07,701
That's what I've always used
these battle rounds for,
2012
01:21:07,742 --> 01:21:10,704
is to push people and get them
out of their comfort zone.
2013
01:21:10,745 --> 01:21:13,123
And, Avery, I'm gonna tell you
right now, man,
2014
01:21:13,164 --> 01:21:14,541
I saw you come alive
up there.
2015
01:21:14,582 --> 01:21:16,126
I unbuttoned my top button
for you.
2016
01:21:16,167 --> 01:21:17,627
Oh, my God, whew!
2017
01:21:17,669 --> 01:21:19,587
Winked at Kelsea down there.
It's getting hot in here!
2018
01:21:19,629 --> 01:21:22,924
This is gettin' --
This is gettin' uncomfortable.
2019
01:21:22,966 --> 01:21:24,426
But great job, man,
seriously.
2020
01:21:24,467 --> 01:21:27,387
Thank you.
We keep talking about this being
2021
01:21:27,429 --> 01:21:29,305
10th year,
the 20th season.
2022
01:21:29,347 --> 01:21:31,474
And I always try to base
my decisions
2023
01:21:31,516 --> 01:21:36,146
on what I just saw happen,
so...
2024
01:21:36,187 --> 01:21:38,481
Blake, who's the winner
of this battle?
2025
01:21:38,523 --> 01:21:43,445
**
2026
01:21:43,486 --> 01:21:46,072
The winner
of this battle...
2027
01:21:46,114 --> 01:21:49,325
**
2028
01:21:49,367 --> 01:21:50,493
...is Ethan.
2029
01:21:50,535 --> 01:21:53,121
Daly: Ethan Lively!
Thank you.
2030
01:21:53,163 --> 01:21:55,832
You are moving on to
the knockouts. Congratulations.
2031
01:21:55,874 --> 01:21:58,501
I didn't expect that at all.
[ Laughs ]
2032
01:21:58,543 --> 01:22:00,295
Being from a small town,
2033
01:22:00,337 --> 01:22:03,548
I never seen myself
even step foot on that stage,
2034
01:22:03,590 --> 01:22:06,134
but going all the way
to the knockouts is crazy.
2035
01:22:06,176 --> 01:22:08,011
Coaches, let me remind you,
Avery is available to steal.
2036
01:22:08,053 --> 01:22:10,555
Avery, anything you'd like
to say to your coach?
2037
01:22:10,597 --> 01:22:12,599
I just want to say thank you
for giving me an opportunity,
2038
01:22:12,640 --> 01:22:15,518
you know, to come out here,
and I've had fun, so thank you.
2039
01:22:15,560 --> 01:22:18,021
Thanks, Avery.
Give it up one more time
2040
01:22:18,063 --> 01:22:20,357
for Avery Roberson.
2041
01:22:20,398 --> 01:22:21,441
Avery, thank you.
2042
01:22:21,483 --> 01:22:22,817
Thank you.
2043
01:22:22,859 --> 01:22:23,902
[ Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh ]
2044
01:22:23,943 --> 01:22:26,029
Yes! Yes!
Did I get it?
2045
01:22:26,071 --> 01:22:28,198
That's the sound of a steal!
Whoo!
2046
01:22:28,239 --> 01:22:30,533
Yes!
Kelsea Ballerini,
2047
01:22:30,575 --> 01:22:32,660
on behalf of Team Kelly.
2048
01:22:32,702 --> 01:22:34,079
[ Cheers and applause ]
2049
01:22:34,120 --> 01:22:35,538
You did it!
2050
01:22:35,580 --> 01:22:38,667
That was my first steal,
and it felt good.
2051
01:22:38,708 --> 01:22:40,627
It felt good.
Oh. You felt the thunder
2052
01:22:40,669 --> 01:22:42,003
when your hand hit the button?
I just feel like
2053
01:22:42,045 --> 01:22:43,922
I got to be the good guy here.
Whoo!
2054
01:22:43,963 --> 01:22:45,799
Kelsea,
you used your steal.
2055
01:22:45,840 --> 01:22:48,635
Tell us why.
Well, 'cause I'm over here
texting with Kelly
2056
01:22:48,677 --> 01:22:50,887
and she's like,
"You have to get him for me."
2057
01:22:50,929 --> 01:22:52,597
And I was like,
"I'll do my best."
2058
01:22:52,639 --> 01:22:54,391
And I'm really excited
'cause you're so talented.
2059
01:22:54,432 --> 01:22:55,975
Thank you so much.
Congratulations.
2060
01:22:56,017 --> 01:22:58,687
Congratulations.
Daly:
Kelsea steals Avery for Kelly.
2061
01:22:58,728 --> 01:23:01,022
Blake: Avery versus Ethan
was a really tough decision.
2062
01:23:01,064 --> 01:23:02,774
Thank you.
Congratulations, man.
2063
01:23:02,816 --> 01:23:05,193
Team Kelly.
Ethan's a one-chair turn,
2064
01:23:05,235 --> 01:23:07,654
but America's gonna be shocked
by this guy.
2065
01:23:07,696 --> 01:23:09,280
I am, and I'm his coach.
2066
01:23:09,322 --> 01:23:11,825
Stolen, baby, stolen.
Stolen!
2067
01:23:11,866 --> 01:23:14,077
I was glad Blake picked Ethan.
2068
01:23:14,119 --> 01:23:15,829
It feels like
you're in an auction.
2069
01:23:15,870 --> 01:23:17,706
Yeah.
And, like, you have the paddle.
2070
01:23:17,747 --> 01:23:19,582
Going to the highest --
Like, the money --
the money's on the phone.
2071
01:23:19,624 --> 01:23:22,919
There's so much potential there,
and if there's anyone that can,
2072
01:23:22,961 --> 01:23:26,131
like, pull that out of him,
it's Kelly freakin' Clarkson.
2073
01:23:26,172 --> 01:23:28,216
Kelly: I'm so thankful that you
ended up stealing it.
2074
01:23:28,258 --> 01:23:29,467
I think
that you're gonna be
2075
01:23:29,509 --> 01:23:30,760
able to, like, bring him
out of his shell
2076
01:23:30,802 --> 01:23:32,554
and make everyone regret
their choices.
2077
01:23:32,595 --> 01:23:34,014
See? We are the same.
2078
01:23:34,055 --> 01:23:35,932
That is really what
I'm wanting to do there.
2079
01:23:35,974 --> 01:23:37,142
Here for you.
