* Well, if they freed me from this prison *
* If that old railroad train was mine *
Tanner has a tendency to go into the growl,
where Austin keeps his tone a little cleaner.
* Well, far from Folsom Prison *
Blake, who's the winner of this battle?
There's two ways to go here, and they're both right.
**
Uh, the winner of this battle is Austin.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Thataboy.
Austin and Tanner did an incredible job.
At the end of the day, I just feel like Austin
is in touch with that classic country sound,
and I think it's important for this show to have an artist
that represents not only country music but that time period.
Coach, let me remind you that Tanner's available to save.
Tanner, anything you want to say to Coach?
I just want to say I really appreciate y'all
putting faith in me and letting me come out here.
I'm very thankful. I'm just happy to be here.
Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for Tanner Fussell
one more time! [ Cheers and applause ]
So good!
Blake: We have these three-way knockouts coming.
It just makes it that much more important
to build the best team that you possibly can.
And sadly, that also means there's going to be
a flood of really talented people going home.
Man: Okay. Good to go. One minute out.
Ah-ah-ah.
Bom-bom-bom-bom. Bom-bom-bom-bom.
Blake: Oh, Gwen, you got a tough one.
Oh, my gosh. Ugh! I know!
This one's so hard.
They're little. He even drew his flowers.
They're little puppy dogs. Yeah.
There's nothing different about today than the rehearsals.
Just that other people are here. True.
That's it. Just do you. Alright. Have some fun.
I will.
* Unh, alright, do it *
Hi. Sean! Yes! Hey. What's up?
As my adviser this season, I have Sean Paul.
It's just amazing to be able to work with him
because he's collaborated
with huge artists like Beyoncé, Rihanna.
Salud, salud. This is so crazy
'cause we just have a song together that just came out.
* Baby, won't you light my fire? *
* Bidi-bang, bang, bang *
* Lemme tell ya, what a piece of hotness *
* When da fire touch skin * Hey!
* When da neighbors get vex and get up and knockin' *
Gwen: He writes music that gets the whole party going
and gets people in trouble, really.
* Won't you light my fire? *
* I got you, I got you *
Sean: When Gwen asked me to be an adviser,
I thought it was a perfect opportunity for me
to impart some of the knowledge I've learned over the years.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Gwen: Yes! That was unexpected.
"The Voice" is definitely about more raw talent for me.
It's one of the reasons I like this show.
This is two of my teammates.
Jillian was the one that came out,
and she had, like, the craziest opening lines to the song.
And you were like, "Bang!"
Immediately I was like, "This girl's for me."
* When I'm down, I get real down *
* When I'm high, I don't come down *
Just a few months ago,
I was sitting on my couch at home watching "The Voice"
with my family, and now I'm here.
That's crazy.
You're a really good singer.
I'm so very grateful.
Aah!
My family is very supportive.
They will do anything for me to succeed.
Got a stepmom, a stepdad, three new stepsisters,
a stepbrother, and a biological sister.
One big happy family. I love it.
I pressed my button 'cause I loved her voice so much.
She's really young.
So today will be, like, really telling.
And then Rowan was spectacular.
I really feel like she's something really special.
She has that star thing. Mm-hmm.
* You betrayed me *
* 'Cause I know that you... *
Ever since the age of 13,
I've been interested in coming on "The Voice,"
but I never thought it would, like, actually happen.
At 16 years old, to channel that emotion,
I need to work with you.
My grandma has been a huge inspiration for me.
She introduced me to older '60s bands,
and she would play around the house all the time.
That's how it started, and then I did theater.
It's really where I found my love for being on stage.
So to finally be here at the Battles
is beyond what I imagined,
and it's very awesome, very awesome.
There they are. Look how cute. Oh, my God.
Oh, my gosh!
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Hi! Hi!
Oh, my gosh! Sean Paul! Sean Paul!
Jillian: Sean Paul is a huge star.
He knows how to get you hyped, excited, in the zone.
His amount of hits and joy that he's brought to people
around the world and parties. Oh, yeah. 100%.
He's gonna be really helpful
with you to get the audience engaged.
I'm just, like, in the presence of a musical genius
right now, and I'm like, "Aah!"
I'm just here, like, as a mama... Yeah.
...to help you guys download whatever I've learned.
He's gonna download whatever he knows.
I'm the uncle.
Yes. The uncle. I love it.
I'm, like, such a huge fan.
Honestly a dream come true for me, too,
and I'm so glad to be here.
I'm so grateful that you're here. This is crazy.
This is unreal.
Gwen: What did you think when you guys were paired?
So excited. We were so excited.
Oh, my God.
We're best friends. Oh, you are?!
Yes. Yeah.
* Introduced me to your family *
I gave them "Fingers Crossed" by Lauren Spencer-Smith.
This is a contemporary song. Perfect lyrics for young girls.
* Making plans to travel around the world *
Rowan, she's so young but can access her heart so easily.
* Now, I *
She can take lyrics that she didn't write
and make you believe that she wrote them.
She's very gifted.
* I want all the tears back that I cried *
Jillian had a lot of emotion when she sings.
She had a lot of confidence. She had a lot of personality.
She really blew me away.
Together: * Cr-o-o-o-ossed *
That sounds so pretty, you guys.
That was awesome. Both: Thank you.
You can tell you guys are friends.
There's definitely love in the room.
There definitely is. So much love.
Especially when you guys looked at each other at the end there.
So keep that up.
When you're doing your fancy stuff,
which is incredibly amazing,
where it says, "You must have your fingers crossed,"
she almost is saying it like it's such a backhanded thing.
Yeah.
So if you put, like, a fancy thing on it,
it takes away from the emotion.
Loses its purpose a little bit. You know?
Right. Jillian, you're starting
to get a little nasally and tight.
I think that you could be warmer.
Open your voice up a little bit more, round it out.
Also, we need to work more on your body language.
Definitely. You need to get off that mike stand
and start to get your body to connect to the song
a little bit more.
Usually for me on stage, if I'm having a bad day
touring or whatever, I look at the crowd,
and there's people who got smiles in their face
because of the lyrics I'm saying,
and that automatically transfers to my giving it back to them.
So bring us into, like, your world.
This is such a visual song,
and if you don't do it right with your facial expressions,
you're missing a really good opportunity.
Yeah, Like, you're not going to say...
* Introduce me to your family * with your eyes shut.
You're going to say --
* Introduce me to your family *
You're desperate. Yeah.
And she's recalling it, and she's telling you,
"This is what I thought was real,"
later to find out, at the end,
you're going to say -- * Now I hate you *
And it's gonna be jarring for the audience
'cause they're going to say, "She just said she hated him."
Getting into the character, living that moment is very key.
With No Doubt, we would film every show
and then we'd watch it back.
And that's where you can really see the truth.
Yes. Definitely. So if you want to send me videos
of, like, let's say you guys are in your room
and you just want to film each other and send it to me,
I'd love to see what you're doing.
Yeah. Thank you.
Jillian and I, we're really good friends.
* Remember when... *
It's been helpful when we're working together,
but in the end,
I definitely don't want to be going home.
This season, there will be one steal and one save.
There could be a situation where both of us move on,
and that's the situation we both want.
And if we work together to make it, like, go well together.
You have to visualize that.
You have to feel it in your heart,
which I'm feeling right now.
Gwen has a tough job.
What am I gonna do?
I don't know. You're in trouble, Gwen.
I know. [ Laughter ]
* This is "The Voice" *
Daly: Welcome back to the Battles
at Universal Studios Hollywood.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Look at 'em! [ Laughs ] They're so cute!
The Battle starts right now.
[ Cheers and applause ]
**
* Introduced me to your family *
* Watched my favorite shows on your TV *
* Made me breakfast in the morning *
* When you got home from work *
* Making plans to travel 'round the world *
* Said we'd always put each other first *
Whoo!
* Old love songs we used to play to * Ooh!
* Funny, now I hate you *
* Now, I remember when you'd call me late at night *
* And I gave you my hours and advice *
* Just tryin' to fix you *
* And all your daddy issues *
* But now I don't even miss you anymore *
Together: * So I *
* I want all the tears back that I cried *
* All the hours spent giving advice *
* On how to write your songs *
* All you did was prove me wrong *
* When you said you loved me *
* Well, you must've had your fingers crossed *
Sing, girl!
* I could say I'm sorry, but I'm not *
* You don't deserve the one thing that you *
Together: * Lost *
* I remember when you'd call me late at night *
* And I gave you my hours and advice *
* Just tryin' to fix you *
* And all your daddy issues *
* When you said you loved me *
* Well, you must've had your fingers *
* Cr-o-o-o-ossed *
* Whoa, oh-oh-oh-ohh *
* So I *
* I want all the tears back that I cried *
Yeah.
* All the hours spent giving advice *
* On how to write your songs *
* All you did was prove me wrong *
Whew.
* Wish you said you loved me *
* When you didn't have your fingers *
* Cr-o-o-o-ossed *
[ Cheers and applause ]
**
Yeah!
**
[ Laughs ]
**
[ Fake sobbing ]
Oh, my goodness! Oh, that was so good!
So proud of my girls!
I love the pride with which Gwen looks at...
I'm dying right now. ...the young girls on her team.
I didn't know I was gonna feel like this.
You guys should be so proud. That was so good.
I'm so proud. I'm so proud of you.
Rowan, just you not having to belt
or really try hard, it's very emotive. Thank you.
You guys are both such great singers.
I turned for both of you, so I'm like,
"Okay, I'm confident that I made a good decision."
Not confident in you not picking me. That wasn't cool.
Jillian, you're really good.
Your voice is really cool and clear...
Thank you. ...and piercing.
And, Rowan, you're even better than I remember you being.
Your tone is so interesting.
And those big notes you were hitting were just stunning.
It was like a revelation. It was like, "Wow."
I was, like, so moved by her.
Thank you.
Yeah. Thank you.
Blake: Jillian, you've just got so much energy
and you're electric when you get on the stage
and you're singing, and you do a good job
controlling that because sometimes it can derail people.
Thank you.
You sounded really good. I mean, my gosh.
Rowan, whenever you make your record someday,
you're gonna sell at least one copy -- to me.
Two! Oh, my gosh!
Thank you. Me too. I will also be buying one.
The ending of the song, the softer stuff... John: Yes.
...it's like, "Whoa. What was that?"
Just for that reason, I'd probably go with Rowan.
Thank you. I appreciate that. Thank you.
Daly: Thank you, Coaches.
Gwen, give us some thoughts on the Battle.
Jillian, I felt like at the beginning
I could hear the nerves in your voice.
It's hard to come in soft like that,
especially your style of singing.
But you did great, and you recovered
and got better and better through the performance. Oh, yeah.
You really did prove to me how talented you are.
Thank you. Yes. I love your voice.
Me too.
You know, Rowan, it's pretty mind-blowing.
I mean, for a 16-year-old, your ability to be tasteful
and heartfelt in the right moments,
but on top of that, be able to do runs
that are just coming from your heart,
you nailed it. Thank you.
I just thought it was an incredible performance.
I'm super emotional. I'm super proud.
Thank you so much.
Gwen, a tough decision for you, we know,
but the time has come.
Who is the winner of this Battle?
[ Audience shouting ]
[ Sighs ] Oh, my God.
Emotions! Ugh!
Emotions are real, guys!
I feel like the person that's ready right now, Carson...
...is Rowan Grace.
Congratulations, Rowan Grace!
Oh, my God.
Rowan is so already ready to make a record
and has so much control technically
over her voice, as well.
Oh, my God... Thank you so much.
Still can't believe she picked me to be her coach.
I feel so grateful for that. Thank you.
Anything you want to say to your coach?
Jillian! I just want to say
thank you so much for turning around.
I can't thank you enough for this opportunity. Aw. You did so good.
Give it up for Jillian Jordyn, everybody!
Blake: Gwen and I talk a lot about what's going on
with each other's teams, and I know Jillian and Rowan
ended up being just as tough as she thought it was gonna be.
At the end of the day, Rowan just has
that something special that makes her stand out.
John: I can't believe she's 16.
Her tone is so crazy.
And she has real control, too. Like, she's a musician.
At 16? It's crazy. Yeah.
Daly: Still to come...
This adviser is going to be perfect
for this particular song.
No. Valarie: Wait a minute.
Because you did get a Grammy, right?
I got two! Yeah!
Daly: ...more incredible coaching
from the superstar advisers.
If you think of, like, Catwoman, just like --
* My broken heart *
Ooh, I like that.
* You can't just play with people's feelings *
* I bust the windows out your car *
You two scared me a little bit.
[ Laughter ]
That gave me leg chills!
It's kind of like telling a monologue about your life story.
* I came in like a wrecking ball *
Camila, wow.
I know!
Daly: And later, a Battle so good,
no one goes home.
We've got a save! Oh, my God!
* This is "The Voice" *
Daly: Welcome back to the Battles.
I've actually had a lot of anxiety for the last two days
over this. Camila: Really?
And I didn't know I was going to. About what?
Just about this day, like, about --
Sending people home? Yeah, 'cause, you know,
when you pair them, you don't really know until you know.
But it makes it even harder for me somehow. I don't know.
Mm-hmm. To break their heart?
Yes. I have a question.
Are you guys underdressed or overdressed?
[ Laughter ]
It feels like you tried really hard on the top half
and then you were like, "Meh, whatever," on the bottom half.
Well, by the time you got there.
It's a wardrobe mullet.
Right. Exactly. Yes.
I like that.
John: I'm so excited to have you.
I can't wait for our singers to see you.
Oh. Because they're gonna flip.
I think I'm just as nervous as them...
So, this season's adviser for Team Legend
is none other than the great Jazmine Sullivan.
* I bust the windows out your car *
Jazmine is one of the great soul singers on the planet.
So many singers look up to her.
Love her tone, her runs. Just love her authenticity.
And so I think she'll be able
to help them tap into that for themselves.
I'm nervous. Ohh.
We got it, though.
You know, we practiced.
* Even though what you did to me was much worse *
John: So Dia and Valarie
are going to be in for a surprise today.
I'm so excited. The next vocalists
that are coming are about to do my song "Bust Your Windows."
Hello, hello. Hey.
I know they're gonna sound great
and I'm just really excited to meet them.
Hey. Team Legend. We're here.
Team Legend. We made it.
John: We're gonna pop Jazmine out.
They're gonna faint.
I feel like this adviser
is going to be perfect for this particular song.
So I think we should bring her out.
Okay. No. Wait a minute.
Wait a minute! Wait a minute!
* Enh-enh-enh-enh *
What?!
TheJazmine Sullivan.
I'm happy I didn't faint. Okay?
She's a two-time Grammy Award winner.
I hope when she watches this,
she thinks I did a good job at keeping my cool.
You did get a Grammy, right?
Best R&B Album.
I got two! Yes.
Talk about it. Talk about it. Come on. Yes.
What was that feeling like?
It was amazing.
At times in my career, I really felt like
maybe it just wasn't gonna happen for me.
If anything, I feel like my story is, like, keep going.
Yeah. Mm-hmm.
Like, you just never know when that big moment is gonna be.
Valarie: Jazmine has a career that I would love to emulate.
And with me being 41 years old, it's never too late.
Yay!
I do have two beautiful grandbabies --
six-month-old grandbaby and a two-month-old.
Figured I'm a young grandmother, you know. [ Laughs ]
I want to be able to let them see something
that their grandmother did later on in life.
Pretty girl. Mwah.
* I've given him, I've given him *
My Blind Audition day,
it was a breath of fresh air 'cause I love to sing.
John: You have such great energy coming from you,
and I would love to have you on the team.
I want to keep pushing to show John that I can do it.
So help them get in the mood.
Talk about how you wrote this song.
I really did it.
I bust the windows out of an ex-boyfriend's car.
And then, like, that morning, I wrote the song.
Wow. Wow.
So don't cross Jazmine.
If you like your car.
[ Laughter ]
Well, that's the truth. Ah!
* I bust the windows out your car *
* And, no, it didn't mend my broken heart *
The fact that I had to sing her song in front of her...
[ Chuckles ]
Almost lost my mind.
I'm very excited just to be able to do her proud.
* You can't just play with people's feelings *
Jazmine: Dia had a beautiful voice.
I wasn't expecting for her
to have, like, a growl at some points.
And I feel like maybe with me being there,
it kind of made her go a little harder.
* I bust the windows out your car *
Valarie, she had, like, her own flow.
She, like, changed up the rhythm sometimes.
And I was all for it.
Alright. Whew, whew!
Jazmine: It's a fun song. It's just about
getting the character right, and then people feel that.
Character. So important.
Dia, I feel like you could give me a little more of that --
If you think of, like, Catwoman, just like...
Ooh.
* Didn't mend my broken heart *
Ooh, I like that. Okay, okay.
Righteous indignation. Mm-hmm.
He really done messed up. He deserves this.
That's right.
And come off the note a little quicker.
Your notes are beautiful,
but I think if you cut them off some more,
then it'll sound more in the attitude of the song.
I think it should be a little less pretty.
Okay.
I want to be able to apply the most organic emotion
that I possibly can.
I want to prove to John
that there's a reason why he turned around for me.
* Real love *
* I'm searching for a real love *
I love your energy, your confidence.
She's a star. Thank you.
Dia: Recently, since I moved to North Carolina,
I have my own in-house recording studio.
Kind of helps me to be able to just formulate my own sound.
I definitely feel like this is my time to really
show people a side to me that they've never seen before.
Valarie, I don't think you need to do the background melody.
* Dum-dum-dum, da-bum, bum-bum-bah-nah *
Do, like your own, like, lead kind of version.
* You broke my heart *
Yeah. Okay.
[ Vocalizing ]
Because you're not a background singer. You're the lead.
* And I bust the windows out your car, yeah *
Valarie: Performing this song together,
it's definitely gonna be a battle.
So I know I got to give more and push more
because she's in it to win it.
I can't stop smiling.
Me either. Honestly, my cheekbones are like --
Y'all killed the song!
And you hear vocalists interpret it their way, and they kill it.
Like, you made me feel it, and I wrote it, so...
Wow. Aww.
Thank you, Jazmine. This is gonna be tough.
John: Both of these ladies are singing
with their full energy
and they're coming with different tones,
different styles, but doing it really beautifully.
* This is "The Voice" *
Daly: Welcome back to the Battles.
Dia! Look at this outfit!
Dia: In this moment,
time to really show people what's really inside,
what I really came here to do.
Yes, Valarie!
Valarie: Coming in here at 41 years old,
I'm gonna show my kids and my grandchildren
keep pushing, you'll be able to make it to wherever it is
that you want to be in life.
This Battle begins right now.
[ Cheers and applause ]
**
* I bust the windows out your car *
* And, no, it didn't mend my broken heart *
* I'll probably always have these ugly scars *
* But right now I don't care about that part *
* I bust the windows out your car *
* After I saw you laying next to her *
* I didn't wanna, but I took my turn *
* Glad I did it, you had to learn *
* Ooooh, ohhh *
* I must admit it helped a little bit *
Whoo!
* To think of how you'd feel when you saw it *
* I didn't know I had that much strength *
* But I'm glad you'll see what happens when *
* You see you can't play with people's feelings *
* Tell them you love them and don't mean it *
* You'll probably say that it was juvenile *
* But I think that I deserve to smile-ile *
* I did it *
* You should know it *
* I ain't sorry *
* You deserved it *
* After what you did to me, you deserved it *
* I ain't sorry *
Together: * No, no, no *
* 'Cause you broke my heart *
* So I broke your car *
* You caused me pain, so I did the same, yeah *
* Even though what you did to me was much worse *
* I had to do something *
* So I bust the windows out your car, yeah *
* You know I did it 'cause I left my mark *
* Wrote my initials with a crow bar *
* Then drove off into the dark *
* I bust the windows out your car *
* You should feel lucky that that's all I did *
* After five whole years of this bull *
* Gave you all of me, and you played with it *
* I bust the windows out your car *
[ Cheers and applause ]
Yes, ladies.
We did that.
**
Whoo! Got 'em hyped in here!
You almost wore that outfit today.
I did. I did wear it.
And I changed it when I saw what she had on.
You two scared me a little bit up there singing.
That was like, "Wow."
They'll bust the windows out your car.
I hope I never get -- cross ways with either one of these two.
You know, Dia, for me, I think you had
the overall more consistent performance.
But Valarie has this explosive thing about her voice
and it's so exciting and it's just so much fun.
Okay. Camila: I didn't know that song.
That song is really sick. That was a great choice.
Jazmine Sullivan. My adviser this season.
It was sassy. It was explosive.
Valarie, technically, you have more of a mastery of your voice.
Your runs were so clean.
And, Dia, your face and your movement was conveying,
I feel like, the emotion of the song.
Like, you're exciting to watch.
I would probably pick Dia.
[ Applause ]
I think vocally you guys are both equally as talented,
but at the same time, Valarie, you really know your voice.
Like, it's very comfortable for you.
We really know who you are as a singer.
The problem was that when Dia came out, she had this attitude
and she was looking at the audience like,
"I'm about ready to show you who I am."
You're a really budding, like, entertainer.
I would say that Dia kind of stole my heart
in this performance. John: Hm.
Daly: Thank you, Coaches.
John, you got the final word,
but give us some thoughts on that Battle.
We talked a lot about being in character for this song,
and I felt like, Dia, you really embraced that advice so well.
Not only did you come out with this dope outfit
looking like a superstar,
but you also carried yourself with the demeanor of a star.
Valarie, you can just flat-out sing. Thank you.
And your voice has so much electricity and power to it.
So I have to figure out what's the right way to go.
And I'm stalling. [ Laughs ]
I know. [ Laughs ]
John, who is the winner of this Battle?
**
Ugh!
**
The winner of this Battle...
* This is "The Voice" *
Daly: Welcome back.
John, who is the winner of this battle?
**
Ugh!
The winner of this Battle
is Valarie.
Daly: Valarie, congratulations!
You're moving on to the knockouts on Team Legend!
John: Dia and Valarie. I had to make a tough decision.
I do believe that Dia was a little bit better
at being in character.
You did so good. You're such a great singer. Thank you, thank you.
We're just gonna keep going. Alright? Yes. Thank you.
But I feel like this is "The Voice,"
and I still have to honor the better vocalist
when I think about who's gonna advance on my team.
Thank y'all! Thank y'all!
And I feel like Valarie's consistently been
a better vocalist than Dia.
Dia, anything you want to say to your coach?
Definitely. It's an honor.
This is not a loss. This is only the beginning. Yeah.
And you will see more of Dia Malai. Thank you.
You're special!
Give it up for Dia Malai, everybody!
Camila: The Battle round are so exciting,
but there's so many talented people.
It's really hard to see people go home.
You like Metallica?
I only know, like, one song, and I don't even know what song.
"Enter Sandman"? I don't even know.
People have given me crap over the years
for not knowing certain songs, but Camila is next-level.
You like Guns N' Roses?
I only know, like, a few songs.
One, I was not born in America.
Van Halen?
I know maybe like one song.
And how many songs from the past 30 years do you know, Blake?
So, calm down. Abuelo.
**
Whoa! Wow. This place is shiny.
I brought Charlie Puth as my adviser for Team Camila.
Charlie! Camila!
Thanks so much for being here.
My pleasure. I'm right down the street.
Oh, my God. This is great.
I've known Charlie for six years now.
He's an amazing singer, producer, songwriter.
I'm really, really excited. I hope I can give --
Some choreography notes?
Because I clearly am the world's best dancer.
You have perfect moves. Perfect moves.
* You turn me on like a light switch *
Charlie Puth is incredible at playing piano.
He produces most, if not, I think, all of his own songs.
He's written songs for so many successful artists, too.
Justin Bieber, Maroon 5, Pitbull.
I think he can be a great asset for Team Camila.
He's gonna give some really helpful feedback.
I hope I don't let myself get too technical
because I just want them to be themselves.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's a great intention.
Charlie: I wanted to be an adviser because being able
to share things that I've learned
and collected in my musical brain
with artists on "The Voice"
fills my heart just as much as having a successful song.
I feel like, in a way,
I could be imparting some small amount of wisdom
onto the next generation of talent.
Team Camila's all about having fun.
Well, I'm already having fun. It's my pleasure being here.
So, I have a save and a steal.
So I can steal, for the Battle round,
somebody off of...
Another team. Yeah.
And let's say they were both really great.
Right. Then I can save them. I can save both of them.
So these next two...
Wait. I feel like this is about to get really serious right now.
So, Steve and Morgan and their names.
Both of them are so experienced.
They've been writing and performing for a long time.
They're both from Nashville,
so they have common ground in their country roots.
They're singing "Wrecking Ball" by Miley Cyrus...
Wow. ...which is kind of an oddball choice...
It is. ...because they're very like --
Kind of belt -- Like she sang "Hallelujah."
* It's a cold and it's a broken *
* Hallelujah *
And he sang the super belt
he sung in "The Greatest Showman."
* These hands could hold the world *
* But it will never be enough *
You know, it's like super pop for them.
Right. But, anyway, let's meet them.
Okay. Come out, friends.
Hey, guys!
Hey! What?!
Hi! Charlie Puth!
Is that Charlie Puth?
* Let's Marvin Gaye, get it on *
Oh, wow. Whoo!
Charlie Puth!
He's constantly collabing and writing and producing.
I'm a big fan. This is amazing!
Thank you. Thank you.
Did I just talk to Charlie Puth?
How are you guys? Excited.
Yeah. How has it been?
This is the best part -- Okay, First off,
we both flew in from Nashville together.
Did you guys know each other before?
Mnh-mnh. No.
Morgan: We're both very singer singer-songwriter types.
It was a really cool mash-up,
so I'm just very grateful that she put us together.
The power of a song can, like, interrupt your world
for a second, and I hope everybody
watching this feels what we've been feeling.
Life is pretty surreal out here doing this.
As a kid, I watched my dad write songs.
He was running a studio.
And that instilled a lot of knowledge around harmonies
and how to be confident on the mic.
So being a successful songwriter
really made my dad smile a lot over the years.
But I want to deliver a performance that gets me
to the next stage as a singer, and this is, like, a dream.
* So don't you ever say I just walked away *
* I will always want you *
Camila: I chose "Wrecking Ball" for them
because they're both powerhouse singers in different ways.
And "Wrecking Ball" is a really emotional song,
and I feel like they're great at belting
and, like, delivering those messages.
* I never hit so hard in love *
Charlie: Steven's voice, it's almost like an alto saxophone.
It is loud and clear.
There's not one instrument that you can put on top of it.
* You wreck me *
* And I can't live a lie, running for my life *
Camila: I think Morgan is so special.
She's just so connected to her humanity and her feelings,
and it just bleeds through her voice.
That was so emotional.
Yeah. Good. Good.
That gave me leg chills!
I feel like when you guys lean into that honest place,
like, singing it to each other, which I feel like,
Morgan, you're really, really leaning into that.
And I think, Steve, you could lean into that even more.
Right. Because I think that you don't even notice
that it subconsciously changes how you sing.
Your body is naturally gonna go to a place
if you're thinking about
a real-life situation that happened to you.
You're gonna make people feel feelings. Yeah.
And also exploring different textures and different emotions.
Morgan: Yeah. Right.
Like, you could whisper a line
and have so much energy.
That big emotion. You know what I mean?
Like -- Like an actor.
I really relate with, like,
"Don't ever say I just walked away."
Yeah. I know how much I've shown up.
Like, "Don't you ever say."
"Don't eversay I didn't show up. Because I did."
* I just walked away *
Steven: This song is easy to connect with, even though,
you know, I'm not talking about a big breakup.
I've been married for 18 years almost.
But we know heartbreak because that kind of comes along
with the territory of love.
This song is saying it raw and unfiltered.
Morgan, do you feel like you experience
a lot of emotions in this, too? Oh, yeah.
I have had, we'll just say, a very, very toxic person
in my life.
The more I was succeeding, the more that person
needed to take control and bring me down to the point
that I really did become a complete shell of myself.
So it's easy to go there in this song.
* Our hearts in vain, we jumped *
There's two different ways of singing it, right?
Like, you could go --
* We clawed, we chained our * Mm-hmm.
Or you could do the --
* We clawed, we dah, dah-nah, nah-dah *
The slide is nice.
Maybe later in it because it's a bit more theatrical.
But when you started off like -- * We clawed *
It's, like, actually really nice. Yeah.
You are gonna be having your therapy session
in front of a lot of people, basically,
and you are living these vulnerable human feelings.
It's kind of like telling a monologue about your life story,
is basically what this song should feel like.
* Came in like a wrecking ball *
Camila: I think this Battle is gonna be about
who makes people feel the feelings.
Like, I think it's gonna be about who can connect
in the moment to that honesty.
* You wreck me *
Sick, guys.
Thank you so much. Thank you.
Morgan: It's been a really cool experience.
They gave really good feedback.
I'm excited that they were excited.
Going with Camila, after today,
I knew I made the right decision.
Y'all are awesome. This is fun!
That's gonna be a hard one for Camila.
Pray for us. Yeah.
No, guys. It's gonna be so good.
No! You got it! Yeah, you have got it.
Thank you! It's there!
I am super happy
I do not have to make the decision.
They're good, right?
They have that voice that, like, cuts through on a record.
Yeah. Totally.
* This is "The Voice" *
Daly: Welcome back to the Battles.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Yeah! Ohh!
Whoo!
Let the Battle begin.
[ Cheers and applause ]
**
* We clawed, we chained our hearts in vain *
* We jumped *
Together: * Never asking why *
* We kissed, I fell under your spell *
* A love *
* No one could deny *
* So don't you ever say I just walked away *
* I will always want you *
* I can't live a lie, running for my life *
* I will always want you *
* I came in like a wrecking ball *
* I never hit so hard in love *
* All I wanted was to break your walls *
* All you ever did was *
* Wreck me *
* Yeah, you, you wreck me *
* You wreck me *
[ Cheers and applause ]
* I never meant to start a war *
* Never meant to start a war *
* Just wanted you to *
* Let me in *
* I guess instead of using force *
* Using force *
* I could've just *
* Let you in *
* But I *
* Never meant to start a war *
* I just wanted you to let me in *
* I guess I should've let you in *
* I came in like a wrecking ball *
* I never hit so hard in love *
* All I wanted was to break your walls *
* All you ever did was *
* Wreck me *
* Like a wrecking ball *
* I just closed *
* My eyes and swung *
* Crashing like a blaze and fall *
* All you ever did was wreck me *
* Yeah, you, you wreck me *
* You wreck me *
[ Cheers and applause ]
**
Yeah! Yeah.
That was so good!
Ooh. [ Laughs ]
Camila, wow.
I know! I know.
It's crazy how good your voices sound together.
Steve, you have a lot of beautiful tones in your voice.
It was very complementary to Morgan,
and it's hard to separate it
because Morgan was working the fringe,
first of all.
Yeah, killing it.
What I loved about your performance, I think,
was even before the chorus,
I thought that you had given us what you were gonna give us,
and then when the chorus came in, it was chilling.
Like, it was crazy.
And it was such a great duet.
Yeah. Thank you.
You both are just really good singers.
You have such different tones.
Steven, yours is kind of smooth, and it's beautiful,
and you have great range. Thank you.
Morgan's tone is just like fire, you know?
It's like -- One of the things I love about Miley,
I think she has one of the coolest tones
in pop music these days.
I think, Morgan, you remind me
of that kind of singer that has that raspiness.
You just sound like a recording artist
that should be making records and singing at the Grammys.
[ Chuckles ] Thank you so much. Ah.
Yeah, I really enjoyed it. I think Steven --
Man, you sang the hell out of that thing, dude.
I mean, you really did. Thank you.
Nothing about that could have been simple.
[ Laughter ]
The thing about Morgan is she's hanging in there with you,
but then she hits
that Bonnie Tyler gear that you just go, "Whoa!"
You know, she not only hit that note,
but it makes her voice do that shred deal that it does.
I would probably go with Morgan.
Thank you so much.
Daly: Thank you, Coaches.
Camila, the final decision is yours,
but first give us some thoughts on the Battle
and then tell us the winner.
That was my first Battle as a coach on "The Voice,"
and I had the pleasure of welling up with pride.
And, Morgan, you have the gift
of feeling things really deeply,
and I think that just comes out through your voice,
but it also comes out through your whole body
when you're performing.
And at the same time, Steven, I don't think
that we have tapped into the song
that has, like, brought the house down yet.
People don't know what you can do yet. Yeah.
So I think both of you guys,
I truly believe, are so, so special.
Tough decision, Camila.
Who is the winner of this battle?
The winner of this battle...
**
...is Morgan.
Daly: Morgan moving on to the knockouts!
Congratulations!
Camila: I was so proud of Morgan and Steven.
They both did a great job, but I chose Morgan
because I think that she's irreplaceable on the show.
Nobody can emote like her.
You look so beautiful. Thank you.
I think Morgan is somebody that could definitely go
all the way to the finale.
Great job, Morgan. Thank you.
I feel very relieved. [ Laughs ]
Daly: Coaches, let me remind you that Steven
is available to steal or save.
Steven, anything you want to say to Camila?
Thank you so much. I'm so honored to be up here singing for y'all.
This has been so fun. Thank you.
Give it up one more time for Steven McMorran,
ladies and gentlemen!
[ Cheers and applause ]
**
Daly: Ohh!
Yes! Aah!
We've got a save!
Oh, my gosh! I wasn't expecting that!
Camila not letting anybody on her team leave today!
This is an emotional roller coaster!
I can't sleep peacefully
knowing that we have not cracked the code yet,
that moment for you, that song.
Thank you.
Daly: Give it up for Steven McMorran!
I only get one save, and I see something in Steven
that I want others to see.
That was so cool! So cool.
The fact that Camila used her one save on me
has me feeling pretty humbled.
Still in the game, baby! Whoo!
You saved me. Thank you.
Nice work, Camila. Thanks, Blakers.
I keep wanting to be turned. I was like, "When are we turning?"
I was just thinking. I was like, "They're about to turn us."
I miss the turn. I miss the danger.
