[ Cheers and applause ]
Daly: Give it up for our coaches.
Camila Cabello, our latest coach.
Crushing it this year, Camila.
Crushing it! Crushing it!
Blake, you're an old-timer here in the Battle Rounds.
How's our friend Camila doing so far?
Yikes! He called you an old-timer.
He did say that, didn't he?
He's been here as long as I have, though.
Yes, that is true.
I think the three of us would agree
that we all love Camila as a person.
Aww! I'm your little buddy!
Very talented.
John: We agree. We agree.
But... But...
[ Laughter ]
...she has the potential to be a really sucky coach.
Camila, whose team do you think is a threat to yours?
I honestly think everybody's, except Blake.
What?! [ Laughter ]
Daly: Thank you, Coaches.
The season 22 Battles continue right now.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Woman: Okay. Team Camila next Battle pairing.
Eric Who, you will be battling
Sydney Kronmiller.
Let's go, Eric! Sydney!
Sydney! Sydney!
Girl, what we gonna do?!
[ Laughter ]
Woman: You will be performing "Paparazzi" by Lady Gaga.
Stop it. Oh, yes! Yes!
Give me Lady Gaga now! Yes!
I'm really excited for you to meet Eric and Sydney. I love it.
In their blind auditions, they both chose a singer
who their voice was totally unlike the original.
So I was like, "Oh, we should do a flip."
You know what I mean? They should do "Paparazzi."
Oh. You're very good at the pairings. Thank you.
You've been killing it. Thank you.
Hey, guys! Oh! Oh, no!
Yes! Hey, guys!
Don't run away.
Camila! Charlie!
I'm like, "Well, who's there standing by Camila?"
It was Charlie damn Puth! Charlie!
I love your whole outfit. Charlie...
Charlie: Oh, God.
I was like, "Oh, my God! I'm hugging Charlie Puth!"
Perfect song. Yeah.
Thank you. Really? Great.
Yeah, yeah. We've had a lot of fun with the arrangement.
You both picked pop music in your blind auditions, right?
You picked Billie Eilish. Billie Eilish. Yeah.
* Nose, sleeping, you're on your tippy toes *
* Creeping * Hey, hey!
Camila turned around, like, the third line I sang.
* So criminal *
It was unreal.
I've never performed any secular type of music.
I've only performed in the church.
I love this song and this voice that I wouldn't expect.
And you have a beautiful tone.
That gave me so much motivation and confidence.
Like, I got on the team that I wanted to be on,
which is Team Camila!
It's just -- It's unreal.
And you picked... "Latch" by Sam Smith.
Yes. Charlie: Wow!
Which is why I was like,
"Oh, they're pop, but they're weird."
[ Laughs ] And I like that.
* I'm latching on *
* Latching on, bae *
Oh, my God! * I feel we're close enough *
Sydney: To have Camila turn around
and, like, react so positively to kind of a different
lower-sounding voice that I've got,
that was, like, the highest compliment.
Camila: That's a very, like, vulnerable and intimate choice.
You're just everything that I'm looking for you.
Awesome. Thank you so much.
I picked Camila because she knows what it's like
to be in our shoes, and I thought that that would be
immensely helpful to have her insight going forward.
Both: * Baby, you'll be famous *
* Chase you down until you love me *
* Papa, paparazzi *
* I'll be your boy... *
Camila: I think Eric is such a star.
He makes songs his own, and he is, like, a whole package,
which is what excites me about him,
is I think people are gonna fall in love with him.
* It don't have a price *
* Loving you is... *
Sydney's voice had a lot of haunting qualities.
And the scales that she was singing --
like, those very complex, chromaticism-based scales.
That's just music mumbo-jumbo talk for
she sang a lot of notes
and she hit them all in a row very well.
Both: * Paparazzi *
Wow. Good God!
When you sang together, that was my favorite bits
because you just sang it so perfectly.
Is there anything that you're struggling with?
I just don't want to come off too dramatic.
I actually wrote in capital letters
and circled it -- "Drama."
Yay!
Like, is Lady Gaga "too dramatic"?
Great point. Love that. Right.
If I'm being honest, you know, like, growing up
in South Carolina, if somebody calls you dramatic,
it's not good.
They're trying to say you need to calm down
'cause you a boy.
And for me, growing up in the church
in front of my stepdad
singing all kind of spiritual and gospel songs,
and I'm about to be singing "Paparazzi"
about chasing a boy, it's crazy,
but I have transformed as an artist.
And I have a boyfriend for the first time
in my 22 years of living.
He's very proud of me.
He was just like, "You deserve this.
It's time for people to see you shine."
Sydney, for those low verses,
the placement is really important.
The more that you can kind of picture the mask, like --
Yeah. Kind of making it nasal.
* Na-na your show *
Almost singing like -- Almost humorous.
So you get to -- Because it is --
* C to a F is really hard to hear *
Yeah. And, by the way,
when it goes to the F sharp minor...
* My *
Yeah, it's crazy. You just -- Pfft.
Sydney: It was crazy just to hear Charlie Puth giving us pointers
because he's an influence that I've had for so long.
I had heard his song "Attention."
I was like, "Who's Charlie Puth?"
Looked at his Wikipedia page.
Under Education, it says Berklee College of Music.
And that's where I decided I wanted to go.
So now I'm a senior at Berklee, and I've been studying there
music, writing, and production.
Now I'm out here just, like, doing what I've actually
always wanted to do for you.
For you, Eric, the breath support...
Okay. ...is really important.
You can achieve that by doing a little [yawns] yawn.
And you'll get a little bit more oxygen that way.
Can we hear you guys both do that first verse
with that kind of, like, in-the-mask nasal
and, like, coming out through that roof of your mouth?
* We are the crowd * Yes.
* And we're coming out * Wow.
Way better.
* Leather and jeans * Yeah.
* Garage glamorous *
Yes! So much better! A world of a difference.
A million times better. Wow.
Awesome. Thank you. Thank you.
I think this is gonna be a close one
because they both shine in their own way.
I'm excited for you guys. But it's gonna be about
who brings that special sauce the day of the show.
They're killing, right? Charlie: Yes.
That was so good.
This round is gonna be especially tricky for Camila.
The person who really pulls everybody in
is gonna be the true winner of this.
There's so many unique voices here today at NBC's "The Voice."
I know. Daly: Coming up...
* Eyeliner and cigarettes *
* Shadow is burnt *
Your voice is shocking.
Daly: ...the artists leave our coaches in turmoil.
Who is the winner of this battle?
You pick Carson! You pick!
And later, a battle that leads to an epic save.
Both: * And I stood there like a fence post *
That was so awesome.
Your singing was incredible.
All: * How deep is your love *
Daly: Ohh! Wow!
Oh, my gosh! That's the sound of a save!
* This is "The Voice" *
Daly: Welcome back to the Battles
at Universal Studios Hollywood.
Camila: Yeah!
**
[ Both laugh ] I love it.
I'm so scared! Whoa, ho, ho!
Let the battle begin.
Let's go. You good? Let's do it.
You got this, babies!
**
* We are the crowd and we're coming out *
* Got my flash on, it's true, need that picture of you *
* It's so magical *
* We'd be so fantastic, oh *
[ Cheers and applause ]
* Leather and jeans, garage glamorous *
* Not sure what it means, but this photo of us *
* It don't have a price *
* Ready for those flashing lights *
* 'Cause you know that, baby, I *
Both: * I'm your biggest fan *
* I'll follow you until you love me *
* Papa, paparazzi *
* Baby, there's no other superstar *
* You know that I'll be *
* Your papa, paparazzi *
* Promise I'll be kind *
* But I won't stop *
* Until that boy is mine *
* Baby, you'll be famous *
* Chase you down until you love me *
* Papa, paparazzi *
* I'll be your boy backstage at your show *
* Velvet ropes and guitars *
* Yeah, 'cause you're my rock star *
* In between the sets *
* Eyeliner and cigarettes *
* Shadow is burnt, yellow dance and return *
* My lashes are dry, purple teardrops I cry *
* It don't have a price *
* Loving you is cherry pie *
* 'Cause you know that, baby *
Both: * I *
* Paparazzi *
* I *
* Paparazzi *
* Promise I'll be kind *
* But I won't stop *
* Until that boy is mine *
Yes! Harmony!
* Baby, you'll be famous *
* Chase you down until you love me *
* Papa, paparazzi *
[ Cheers and applause ]
**
My babies!
My babies did me proud!
**
Beautiful.
I really loved this performance because it was just so weird.
And I mean that in a good way. Like, great weird.
Eric, you're so rare because everything about you
is just so theatrical and...
[ Cheers and applause ]
[ Laughs ]
Yeah, I loved it. It was so engaging.
And that's just the visual. Your voice is so beautiful.
Thank you.
And, Sydney, your vocal style
is different than anything out there right now.
Thank you. It's so unique.
But I couldn't keep my eyes off Eric.
You have this alternative aura, an edge about you,
but yet you sing like a soulful pop singer,
so it's, like, a weird contrast of styles.
You kind of won me on that level, so...
Thank you so much.
Sydney, so few people can sing that low
and sing it really well, live especially.
That was really remarkable.
And the fact that you can do that
and still have the higher notes in your register, too,
you really gave a great performance.
That was really lovely. Thank you so much.
Thank you.
Eric, you just have a light within you,
and you let it exude,
and your voice has a really cool lilt to it.
It floats in a certain way. Thank you.
I really found it so cool to listen to.
Both of you were phenomenal.
Thank you. Thank you.
Sydney, your voice is shocking. Thank you.
And if it came on the radio, I'd turn it up.
Thank you so much. I appreciate that.
And Eric comes out here like the happiest person
and makes everybody happy when they sing.
You know what I'm saying?
That is -- That is true.
Our new buddy here has got a -- got a tough one.
W.W.B.D.? What would Blake do?
You know, I couldn't say no to Eric.
Daly: Thank you, Coaches!
Camila, you have the final decision.
I know, Carson Daly! I know.
Sydney, I have literally
never heard a voice like yours before.
Thank you so much.
Your note choices were so different and weird.
And the way you slide in and out of falsetto.
And then, Eric, I saw you really grow as an artist
and step into somebody
that I'm really excited to hear on the radio,
see perform in shows.
Um, and I'm so stressed.
Daly: Camila, we know you love them both, but the time has come.
Who is the winner of this battle?
Gwen: See, now she's really feeling
what the Battles are all about right there, yeah.
I hate it. Yeah.
I'm going home.
[ Laughter ]
**
This is really, really hard.
The winner of this Battle is...
* This is "The Voice" *
Daly: Welcome back to the Battles.
Camila, who is the winner of this battle?
**
This is really, really hard.
The winner of this Battle is...
Eric.
Daly: Eric is moving on to the Knockouts.
Congratulations.
Camila: I chose Eric because he's just too captivating.
I'm curious to see how he evolves,
and I just want to keep watching him.
I'm so proud of you, baby. Thank you!
I cannot believe I just won my Battle! Yee!
Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh.
I gotta calm down, girl! Damn, I'm happy!
Give it up for Sydney Kronmiller,
ladies and gentlemen!
[ Cheers and applause ]
Camila: I was really sad that I couldn't save Sydney
because she was one of the people
I was most excited about on my team.
It's hard. I know. You did good.
Yeah.
My team this year is -- I got a little bit of everything.
And this is gonna be
one of my tough pairings that I have to do.
I'm the only person that turned around for both of these guys.
Oh, wow. Nobody else knows crap about country.
And they won't admit it. There you go. Yeah.
And so I always know they're gonna wait and see what I do.
And so now I've learned to just wait until the last minute
to push my button.
Then turn around. That's right.
I've paired Benny and Brayden against each other.
I think Benny is definitely a little bit more polished
of a performer.
Brayden has tons of potential, and you can really see
someone as young as he is develop and come a long way.
I just wanted to see which one of these two could stand out
as the better male vocalist.
[ Chuckles ] What's up? No way.
Y'all come in and meet Jimmie Allen.
How y'all doing, man? What's up, bro? How are you doing?
When I walked in the room and saw that Blake's adviser
was Jimmie Allen, I was so excited.
A really current artist with a lot of hits.
He won a CMA Award. Between him and Blake,
I know that I'm gonna get a lot from both of them.
Good to see you, man. God. I forgot how tall you are.
How tall are you? Like 6'4".
Man, if I was 6'4", I'd be in the NBA, dude.
Would you? Yeah.
You can have a longer career, though,
with what you chose. True.
'Cause you can't tell a girl,
"I'm-a dunk this basketball for you." Right.
But you can say, "I'm-a write this song for you."
Yeah. That's right.
How you been? I'm good.
I don't remember you being this shy
when you were up there singing your butt off.
I guess I played it off pretty well.
I was so nervous. Man. That's what's up.
I was shaking out of my shoes before I went in.
Brayden brought his entire family up on stage.
Brayden: My family's real important.
I feel like with everything I do, they're supporting me.
I love how happy your sister is. I mean, literally, she is --
Oh, I can't even handle it.
I haven't been singing that long, maybe a year and a half,
so to get a chair turn from Blake, I was so happy.
[ Cheers and applause ]
* You * Yeah!
Let's mess with this thing. Alright.
I gave these guys "Pretty Heart" by Parker McCollum
because this is a good song
for both of them to feel comfortable and settle down.
* Didn't think I was a bad guy *
* I knew that you were good *
Jimmie: What I liked about Benny's voice
is how his vocal cut through.
You could hear every word, every syllable.
And that's a rare gift.
* I'm the one that dropped the ball *
Brayden kind of gave me a country John Mayer vibe.
It's not huge and powerful,
but I was noticing when he felt comfortable
with what he was singing it sounded really good.
* What does that say about me? *
I sang a pop song for my blind audition,
but I like that Blake realized
that me and Benny could do country, too,
because that's what I want to do.
I feel like newer country is what you hear on the radio,
or at least in my town.
Kind of reminds me of just the times in the car
with your family rolling the windows down
and just jamming to some country music.
I think the singing is there. It's just now being believable.
Jimmie: Every song you sing, whether it's your song or not,
find a way to make that song yours. Mm-hmm.
What do y'all think about when y'all sing that song?
I connect with the song on a very personal level.
After having been married for five years,
I went through a divorce.
The song says, "I didn't think I was a bad guy,
and I knew you were good."
And when you go through a heartbreak,
it's difficult not to feel like you're a bad person.
So it hits close to home with me.
I had all this emotion that I needed to get out,
and that's when I started performing again and realized
that I need music in my life.
And music is everything to me.
When Blake turned, I had this wave of relief.
* Baby, you wanna dance till the sunlight cracks *
* When they say the party's over *
* Then we'll bring it right back *
Welcome to Team Blake, buddy.
Do y'all both always play guitars when you sing?
Always playing it, like, in gigs and at home.
Are you playing it because you're adding to the song
or are you playing it because it's a crutch?
It's just something to always think about moving forward.
Or are you playing it to hide your gut?
Yeah, to hide your gut. [ Laughs ]
How old are you? 29.
And...? 15.
Wait, wait. What?
Yeah.
Boy, I got socks older than you.
The thing that's standing out is he's clearly
been doing this longer than you have.
And because of that, he's more comfortable.
Yeah. You're gonna think I'm crazy
when I say this to you.
The first time I ever met Taylor Swift
was when she was 16.
She didn't realize that the world was literally
at her fingertips, and you have that quality,
but you got to start singing like that.
Nerves are good. It means you care.
But find ways to make sure it's fun.
I'm just gonna practice every day,
try to get better until the real stage performance
and then do my best out there.
He's kind of a shy guy, Benny,
until he gets in front of that microphone,
and then you're projecting, you're singing loud,
and it sounds great, but you're a little bit freaked out.
But you need to know if you can get over this hump,
you'll never be handed something as weird as "The Voice" again.
And that's what I love about starting on this platform,
because when you leave here,
the Grammys and things like that seem like a cakewalk.
It's like, "Oh, you just want me to go out and sing?
Oh, God, I can do that."
I have a little bit of worry about the more country twang
that Brayden has over me.
I specialize more in pop,
and so I really have to tap into my experience
as a performer and really convince Blake
that I'm the one that should be here.
Now just go out there and sing the hell out of it
and make this one of the worst days of my life.
Between Brayden and Benny, I don't know.
It's one of them things where you got to wait
and see who shows up, because you can be
more experienced, and things completely go opposite
when the lights come on.
This is a in-the-moment,
kind of wait and see what's gonna happen.
Thank you. Thanks, guys.
Alright. Let's just run through it once.
Yeah.
I think with Jimmie saying like,
"Yeah, the guitar is nice to have,
but is it gonna make you sing the best?"
In rehears -- I don't know about you --
I felt like -- I felt a little weird
playing the guitar with the whole band.
'Cause you can't even really hear us.
I feel like we're just playing it to have it in our hands.
We might just want to drop the guitar
and sing the song, and we'll see how it goes.
Sounds good.
Let's do this. Let's do it.
* This is "The Voice" *
Daly: Welcome back.
Who will win this team Blake battle?!
Will it be the 29-year-old from Montana,
Benny Weag?
[ Cheers and applause ]
Oh. Whoa, ho! Comin' in hot!
Or the 15-year-old from Michigan,
Brayden Lape?
[ Cheers and applause ]
15. Oh, my gosh!
Let's go.
The Battle starts now.
**
That's country right there.
That's country.
* I didn't think I was a bad guy *
* I knew that you were good *
* You were golden on the inside *
* And you loved me the best you could *
* I'm the one who dropped the ball *
* Got you high and let you fall *
* Let the best thing I ever had slip away *
* What does that say about me *
* I could do you like I did? *
* That I can break an angel's wings? *
* What does that say about me *
* That I stood there like a fence post *
* As you drove off in your car *
* What does that say about me *
* Now that I've broke *
* Your pretty heart? *
* Your pretty heart *
* What does that say about me *
* I could do you like I did? *
* That I can break an angel's wings? *
* What does that say about me? *
Both: * That I stood there like a fence post *
* As you drove off in your car? *
* What does that say about me *
* Now that I've broke *
* Your pretty heart? *
* Your pretty heart *
* Your pretty he-a-a-art *
Both: * Your pretty he-a-a-a-art *
[ Cheers and applause ]
So cute.
**
I like that break. That break he has.
Me too. I love that.
Guys, that was so awesome!
Thank you. Thank you.
Amazing job. Brayden, I can't believe you're 15.
I think he's grown a foot since I saw him.
[ Laughs ] I know.
15. That's the same age I was when I was on...
Did another competition show.
Did a singing competition show! Amazing.
I would have so had a crush on you.
[ Laughter ]
I think you have a beautiful tone.
I love that crack that you have in your voice. Yeah.
It is very pop-record friendly.
And the fact that you're 15 is crazy.
Thank you.
And, Benny, your voice, when you came in, I was like,
"Oh, my God. Why did I not turn around for you?"
You're a great singer.
For me, the winner of this Battle was Brayden
just because I feel like that tone captures
that 15-year-old innocence that you have.
Like, you can hear that in your voice.
Thank you.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Benny, you came out with so much energy.
Just even punching the air, like, ready to go.
Yeah. Your singing was incredible.
I just think stage-presence wise,
it felt a little bit almost too much.
Maybe just focus more on the lyric,
feel the song through your body.
That would be my advice. Yeah. Thank you.
Brayden, you have a beautiful, beautiful voice.
I can't wait to see what happens in the next few years
'cause there's just so much growing to do.
Not literally. Yeah. No more growing.
Well, maybe.
Benny, I love the tone of your voice.
It just sounds confident and assured.
I think sometimes you push a little too much,
which can take away from the beauty of your voice,
which is really great. Thank you.
And then, Brayden, I feel like you have
a bit more to develop as a vocalist,
but your tone is so interesting and cool.
So that's the choice that Blake will have to make.
Daly: Thank you, Coaches.
All right, Blake, final decision's yours.
Give us some thoughts on the Battle first.
The line in the song is, "What does that say about me?"
Benny, I think your approach was more like,
"What did you say about me?"
Like, coming out here ready to fight,
just in your stage presence.
Because, man, I thought you sang really good. Thank you.
And then, Brayden, today, you know,
even more than in rehearsal, it's like, "Oh, my gosh.
He is only 15." You know? Mm-hmm. Yeah.
But I like that tone in your voice
and the youth and some of the inexperience, even,
because there's something about that that's endearing.
Blake, who is the winner of this Battle?
**
Winner of this Battle is Brayden.
Brayden, congratulations. You're moving on to the Knockouts
for Team Blake.
Blake: Brayden's just got all this potential and star quality
about what he does and just who he is.
He's just now starting to find his feet.
And as he gets comfortable in this situation,
sky's gonna be the limit.
Give it up for Benny Weag!
Great job, Benny.
You did a great job. Good luck, Benny.
[ Cheers and applause ]
So far, I'm excited about my team, man.
There's so much talent.
I'm starting to see that this is maybe
the strongest bunch we've ever had.
* Say you'll see me again even if it's just in *
* Your wildest dreams *
* Ahh-ahh *
I think we could really see the contrast in the development
and the experience singing.
The winner of this Battle is Eva.
Thank you so much. Eva Ullmann!
Blake: I was really surprised with Eva.
She's doing the right thing. She's got a great voice.
She's ready for this. And this is her moment.
* Even though we're going through it *
* And it makes you feel alone *
* Just know that I would die for you *
* Baby, I would die for you, ohh *
Morgan, I do believe you were a bit more confident.
And your tone is really just strong
and powerful and beautiful.
The winner of this battle is Morgan.
Daly: Morgan Taylor! Congratulations.
John: The Battles are going amazingly.
I love my team, but I also love some of the other artists, too.
Both: * H-o-o-o-ome *
* It'll all be alright *
* Be home tonight *
* I'm coming back home *
Daysia, I was just so amazed with how much you've grown,
and your spirit is incredible.
God, this is a really hard one for me,
but the winner of this battle is Daysia.
Daysia moving on to the Knockouts.
Daysia, she has some growing to do,
but she's really a diamond in the rough.
Her voice can do so much.
Daysia's special.
She's such an old soul.
I am so inspired by the talent we have this season.
I'm seeing artists step up
in ways that I didn't necessarily expect.
So I'm gonna try to use my steal and my save wisely.
* This is "The Voice" *
Daly: Welcome back to the Battle Rounds.
**
The theme of this Battle is "Maryland."
The singing sisters the Marilynds,
they're originally from Maryland,
and then Parijita is from Baltimore.
Parijita is, I think, only 17. Oh, baby!
And she just carries herself so maturely.
The Marilynds are this wonderful duo of sisters.
They do pop and country.
I'm ready to hear it. Here we go.
**
Oh, my... [ Squeals ]
Hello. Look who's here.
Jazmine: Hello.
They're excited to see you.
Oh, my gosh. Parijita's excited.
Parijita: I am over the moon.
The fact that I just met Jazmine Sullivan,
who is, like, an R&B absolute icon?
I am absolutely blown away.
John: Meet Jazmine Sullivan.
Being able to work with, like, the best artists
in the business is such an honor.
[ Chuckles ] It's not real. But it is real.
We're singing for Jazmine and John.
John: Oh, please.
I'm just as nervous as you guys are. Please.
[ Laughter ]
So what did you think about this song choice?
"How Deep Is Your Love." You guys into it?
Our mom is a huge fan of the Bee Gees,
so we grew up listening to the Bee Gees.
Oh, cool. I feel like this is a good blend
of the genres.
It's pop, but it's also soul. And the harmonies.
I think it's just a perfect song for all three of you
to do together. Yeah.
The song that we're singing is "How Deep Is Your Love"
by the Bee Gees.
We were so excited to see some of the similarities
of their relationship as brothers.
We both have been through our fair share of hardships.
We struggled with eating disorders at one point.
The only reason we've been able to get through
these hard times is this bond that we have with each other.
The support from my family was everything.
[Voice breaking] Those are the things
that you're just so grateful and happy now.
Sorry. [ Laughs ]
* What if I'm trying *
It's taken us a while
to have that blind-audition moment sink in.
* Lost in that last goodbye *
I would be a great coach for you.
And -- No, John! John, no!
[ Laughter ]
I have no doubt in my mind...
If we're putting spotlights over here, I'm just gonna stand in it.
John. Team John.
We've been singing since we were little girls,
and this is, like, the moment, you know,
that we've been working so hard for.
* I know your eyes in the morning sun, I feel... *
Jazmine: Parijita had a beautiful, beautiful tone.
And I can hear her in five years
when she, like, really steps into her voice,
and it's just gonna be even more amazing.
That's a great part of this process,
is seeing somebody so young
and just, like, seeing their potential.
Both: * And you come to me on a summer breeze, keep me warm... *
Jazmine: The Marilynds were great.
There's nothing better than when siblings harmonize.
It's like a blend that you cannot duplicate.
All: * We belong to you and me *
I loved it. I love your tone. Thank you.
But, also, when you mess up, don't let us know. Okay.
I mess up a lot. All the time. [ Laughs ] John: Hard to believe.
You won't know because I'm kind of
just singing through it, so just try not
to let it read on your face.
I'm more worried about what the words are instead of letting --
intuitively know what I'm going to sing.
So, yeah.
It's gonna be about internalizing it
so it's not even a thought. Right.
There are a couple of parts that you're harmonizing
that don't feel like they lend themselves to harmony that well.
* Come to me like a summer breeze *
I think that doesn't need a harmony.
I think that can be just solo.
Okay. Any tips for, like, how to calm nerves
right before the big performance?
Drink Henny. Psyche. [ Laughter ]
A shot. A little brown liquor.
I'm fully a minor.
She's joking but not joking.
* It's closer than my hands have been *
* Oh, I'm jealous of the rain *
John: Sing that song, girl!
Parijita: I could have never imagined
that I was gonna get four chairs.
[ Cheering ] Yes!
I'm actually the first Nepalese American
to ever audition on "The Voice."
Yeah, baby! So I'm very excited!
I know a coach up here that would be very good.
John! Yeah!
Choosing John was the perfect decision for me.
I'm really happy.
* I know your eyes in the morning sun *
"How Deep Is Your Love" is just such an emotional song.
The song reminds me that love is about connection.
Growing up, I didn't look like my friends at school.
Not having representation of other brown people
made me feel like I couldn't be loved.
And so the song makes me want to believe in love.
It's really beautiful.
All: * How deep is your love *
It was cool up until the end, and then you kind of hear
where it starts to fall apart as you guys come together
because you guys are used to singing together, you're not.
So you guys have to really make sure that you practice.
Let's just tighten that arrangement right now
so that you feel super comfortable.
All: * We belong to you and me *
* Belong to you and me, to and me *
Okay. Make sure you do "to you" up on the same note
then go down. Okay. Perfect.
What is the last "how deep is your love"?
All: * How deep is your love *
Cool.
That was a lot better. That was great.
And then if you guys look at each other
during that part, you know, you guys...
Yes, as a threesome. As a threesome.
By that point, it's a threesome.
John: With Parijita, her key is going to be figuring out
how to fit in with the other two,
because in this Battle situation,
you've got to kind of change your M.O.
just a little bit and be a good team player.
Great to see you all.
And then I think, with the Marilynds,
this will be right on their home turf.
The Bee Gees were siblings that sang together.
The Marilynds are siblings that sing together.
So I think it's just about execution for them.
You can tell the sisters are so used to sitting together
and then it's hard for them to incorporate a third.
Yeah, I'm like that, though, because
I'm used to singing by myself.
So when I'm thinking about where I have to sing
with other people, it's hard for me,
so I have to, like, practice. Yeah.
* This is "The Voice" *
Daly: Welcome back to "The Voice."
[ Cheers and applause ]
Yes!
Let's go!
This Battle begins right now.
**
* Ooh *
Oh, that's awesome.
* Oh, whoa *
* I know your eyes in the morning sun *
* I feel you touch me in the pouring rain *
Both: * And the moment that you wander far from me *
* I wanna feel you in my arms again *
* And you come to me on a summer breeze *
* Keep me warm in your love then you softly leave *
All: * And it's me you need to show *
* How deep is your love *
* Is your love, how deep is your love *
* I really need to learn *
* 'Cause we're living in a world of fools *
* Breaking us down *
* When they all should let us be *
* We belong to you and me *
Both: * I believe in you *
* You know the door to my very soul *
* You're the light in my deepest, darkest hour *
* You're my savior when I fall *
* And you come to me on a summer breeze *
Both: * Keep me warm in your love then you softly leave *
All: * And it's me you need to show *
* How deep is your love *
* How deep is your love, how deep is your love *
* I really need to know *
Both: * 'Cause we're living in a world of fools *
* Breaking us down *
* When they all should let us be *
* We belong to you and me *
All: * 'Cause we're living in a world of fools *
* Breaking us down * Whoo!
* When they all should let us be *
* We belong to you and me *
* How deep is your l-o-o-o-ove *
[ Cheers and applause ]
Beautiful!
**
Yes! Yes, yes!
Blake: I'll start with Kasey and Lindsay.
I've worked with some duos on this show,
and there's always one person
that's a little bit ahead of the other one, you know?
And it just feels like with you two,
it's just so locked in together.
I mean, you must be related.
[ Laughter ]
And then, ladies and gentleman,
Parijita is 17 years.
My goodness.
[ Cheers and applause ]
That is insane.
Your voice is so unique and so powerful.
I love the way Parijita walks out here
with full confidence like, "I'm here.
And I'm about to blow your face off. Sorry."
[ Laughs ] Yeah.
I love your presence, and I love your voice.
And if I was deciding,
I'd be going with Parijita in this one.
[ Cheers and applause ] Thank you.
You guys were so tight when you sang together.
It just sounded like somebody
was dripping a vanilla candle into my ear.
Oh, my gosh. Oh, I love that.
[ Laughs ] Is that a nice feeling?
Yeah, that sounds unpleasant.
Parijita, you're such a master
of your voice at such a young age.
It seems effortless, and you have a gorgeous voice.
Thank you so much, Camila.
Good luck, buddy!
They do dock your pay if you don't say...
What? I'm just kidding.
[ Laughter ]
Marilynds, I saw so much more talent than I thought
the first time that I saw you sitting up here in the blinds.
Your voices are so different from each other.
I mean, you have a sharper voice, hers is warmer,
and they blend really well together in the harmonies.
Parijita, your personality was coming out,
and it was really beautiful.
It's so unique.
It reminds me a lot of a '70s singer-songwriter voice,
and I love it.
Daly: Thank you, Coaches!
[ Cheers and applause ]
Alright, John, you got the final decision.
Give us some thoughts first.
One of the things that I was worried about
was whether or not Parijita
would find a way to fit in with the two of you.
And I really felt you all found a way to connect
with each other as a trio.
Marilynds, you all just leaned into those harmonies.
It was flawless.
The quality of your execution today,
it was just really, really strong.
Thank you. Thank you, John.
Parijita, there's something where you just feel like
you're connected to who you are.
And it's just amazing that that amount of self-awareness,
self-knowledge, self-possession is coming from someone so young.
And your voice is just phenomenal.
It just feels so inviting.
John, who is the winner of this Battle?
**
This is gonna be really hard for you.
I agree. It's hard.
You pick, Carson! You pick!
[ Laughs ]
**
The winner of this battle is Parijita.
Daly: Parijita! Congratulations!
You're moving on to the Knockouts!
Parijita was beloved by all the coaches in the blinds,
and she showed us why.
Oh, my God. Thank you.
Beautiful. Beautiful.
She has such a lovely tone
and so mature and open and beautiful
and has such a magical presence.
So I had to pick Parijita.
[ Laughs ] Hi!
[ Laughter ]
...Mom.
Coaches, I want to remind you that the Marilynds
are available to steal or save.
Anything you guys want to say to your coach?
John, it's been a pleasure to work with you.
Daly: Whoa! That's the sound of a save!
[ Parijita shrieks ]
Daly: They are back in business!
Whoa!
John: The Marilynds deserved to be saved, and I think
they have something special to offer this competition.
That was so great. Thank you, John.
John: They're a very compelling group.
And I think their lane of country pop
is unique on my team.
I think they're going to do something really special
as they go forward.
Oh, my God. I'm so excited that we get to continue on.
I'm just -- I'm just thrilled.
So just -- just being able to --
How do you feel about John Legend?
[ Laughter ]
John, we love you! Just wanna squeeze him.
Welcome home.
I've seen bananas go from green to yellow
in the amount of time you took.
I took a long time. I was indecisive that time.
Sorry. [ Laughs ]
Well, you need those bananas to turn yellow, so...
That's right. That's right. That's what I'm here for.
You're letting them get ripe up there. Yes.
You want them brown for your banana bread, then let me know.
Blake: Oh, yeah. [ Laughter ]
