Daly: Tonight, the final night of battles...
Gwen: Wow. Yay!
So far, battles are riveting. I love you.
I have a lot of young artists on my team this season. Sing, girl!
And you can see how much they want it. Yes!
It's always super inspiring. Daly: Congratulations.
Gwen: This is everything to them.
Oh, my God. I love you, I love you, I love you.
They're so cute!
[ Whoosh ] Yay!
Daly: That's the sound of a steal times two! Two times.
So much fun! Camila: I'm so proud of Team Camila so far.
Great job, bro. I feel like I have so much talent on my team.
Camila, wow.
I know!
And I still feel like they haven't even scratched...
Bye. ...their potential.
Still in the game, baby! Whoo!
Blake: I haven't used my save yet.
I definitely want to have the artists that I feel like
are ready for this competition. Come on, Bodie!
This year, we're doing three-way knockouts.
Thank you very much.
Every time I think we've thought of every way
to throw something crazy at these contestants,
I'm proven wrong.
Hey! How we doing, guys? Ah!
Oh, my gosh. Blake: It'd be one thing if you got to select two winners,
but we only get one person out of three. Hey. Hey.
That's going to be nuts.
Whoa!
John: This has been a really fun season so far.
Team Legend is looking so good. Whoo!
I'll put my best artists against anybody else.
We're ready to go.
Team Legend's ready to win.
**
So, Jazmine, I need you to tell me
what you think about Team Legend.
Team Legend is amazing.
It's a different array of singers. Yeah.
That's what makes it legendary. [ Laughs ]
Yeah, it's legendary. And they're all really good.
Yeah. And they are all
very excited to see you.
Thanks. [ Laughs ]
Well, we've got Omar and Lana.
John: I love Lana's voice -- it's powerful, piercing.
I think it's really great.
Omar, like, his voice is otherworldly. Daly: Four chairs!
Crazy that we didn't know each other... This is crazy.
...literally a couple of days ago.
I know. And now we're doing this.
Best friends? Be-- [ Laughs ]
Team Legend. Bring it on.
Let's go!
Hello! Yes. Yes! Yay!
The great Jazmine Sullivan is here. Oh, my gosh!
Aahhhh!
Hit that note! [ Laughs ] Oh, my God!
Omar: So I walk in, I saw Jazmine Sullivan.
Literally, all I could do was... "Aahhhh!"
It's so surreal to see someone
you've respected for so many years.
Wow, your -- Nice to meet you.
This is gonna be fun. Queen energy.
Lana: She's won two Grammys,
has multiple hit singles,
and I'm kind of fangirling over here.
They're gonna sing some "Frozen" -- "Frozen II."
[ Exhales deeply ] Incredible.
As a father of a 6-year-old girl,
I'm very familiar.
This one's a classic... Yeah.
..."Into the Unknown."
So there's the original version, which is Idina Menzel. Okay.
But then Panic! At The Disco
did, like, a modern rock version of it. Okay.
John: I thought with a kind of '80s rock singer
and a pop singer, both with a little experience,
thought it'd be cool to have them
singing this rock-pop classic.
John: Have you sung this song before, either of you?
Oh, you work in Orlando -- do you -- I do.
You work at some of the -- the theme parks, too, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, my band does a lot of events.
I work for an entertainment company.
I've sung in a lot of theme parks around the world.
I sing with my own personal band.
Been doing it for 15 years now.
* If we can't go on *
* To survive the tide *
* Love divides * Sing!
The first time I learned a song in harmony
was with my family.
You know, as the younger brother,
I grew up playing baseball.
My brother and my sister were in music.
And then, once I found singing,
I felt like that was such a big part of who I am.
Graduating high school and going right into the music industry,
I live for a dream of doing more.
Now, being on "The Voice,"
I think John's gonna help me step into a new realm. Welcome. Welcome, brother.
And we're going for that trophy, baby.
We're going for it.
* Oo-oo * * Into the unknown *
Jazmine: Team Legend is amazing, especially on this song... * Into the unknown *
because it's definitely a battle of the performers. * Ah, ah, ah, ah *
* Ah-ah, ah-ah * Omar, when he was rehearsing,
he, like, did the same run exactly the same each time.
* Into the unknown *
And I was like, "Is he gonna mess up at all?" Whoo!
* Ah-ah, ah-ah * * Ah-ah, ah-ah *
He didn't mess up. [ Laughs ] * Ah-ah, ah-ah *
And he sings it technically well. * Ah-ah, ah-ah *
To me, he's one of the biggest threats. * Ah-ah, ah-ah *
* Oh-oh, oh-oh * * Ah-ah, ah-ah *
John: Lana has this... * Where are you going? *
...musical theater energy. * Don't leave me alone *
* How do I follow you... *
She loves the theatrics, the drama of it.
You know, she just has that passion.
Whoo! Beautiful!
Whoo! Cool.
My Lord, y'all sound great. Mm!
But, y'all, there's a couple of times
when I don't think you should harmonize.
Okay. Sometimes less is more.
Yeah. Less is more.
One is I don't think
you should sing the "oh-oh" together on the intro.
I think Lana should do it, so... Okay.
* Into the unknown, into the unknown *
* Into the unkno-o-own * * Oh-oh *
Cool.
Everyone feeling good? I'm here for emotional support.
[ Laughter ] Sorry.
I started going into choir director mode.
You guys got this.
Khhht! Khhht! Waah! Ha ha! Yeah!
Show -- Show out. Alright, we're ready.
Show out.
* Oo-oo, oo-oo *
Lana: Omar is amazing.
But I've been doing theater since I was yea big.
When I step out onstage,
I feel like I'm 10 times the size that I am.
* I'm missing you like candy *
I definitely think I'm paired with the right coach
for this moment. * Ahhh *
John, I mean, he has an EGOT,
so [Laughs] I'm just hoping that
he can share some of his wisdom... Thank you, John.
...and I'll be able to channel it.
* Into the unknown *
[ Laughs ] Just make sure y'all are looking at each other
at the same time.
Sorry, I didn't look at you at all during that last one.
Yes, just feed off each other's energy.
I go based off of feeling and gut,
and Omar is just, like, technique.
So we have totally different ways of approaching music.
So may the best man win -- or woman.
Thank you guys so much. John: Great to see you guys.
You sound incredible. Appreciate it.
You're -- You're just ridiculous.
Omar's a four-chair turn.
These shoes are crazy. They hurt, girl.
But Lana is no slouch.
She is coming with... So great.
...full passion. I just love your energy.
Lana's up to the challenge. She's ready.
So this is gonna be tough.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Man: Okay, here we go.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Wait till y'all watch this.
This is gonna be fun.
[ Cheers and applause continue ]
Whoo!
Daly: Still to come...
* Into the unknoooown * Yeah!
Daly: ...Our coaches and their advisers
help craft epic battle performances.
Alright, alright, alright. I just want to feel a little bit more of what --
Like, more of the energy of the song.
When you do the super high thing on the last chorus,
full voice is more powerful.
* It's where I found Jesus *
* Where I wrecked my first car *
* I tore it all to pieces * Wow.
Daly: And then...
Oh!
Well, there you have it --
one and only save!
[ Cheers and applause ]
I like that. So awesome!
My boy!
* This is "The Voice" *
Daly: Welcome back to the battles
at Universal Studios Hollywood.
Whoo!
This battle begins right now.
**
* Oo-oo, oo-oo *
* Into the unknown *
* Oo-oo, oo-oo *
* I can hear you, but I won't *
* Some look for trouble *
* While others don't *
* There's a thousand reasons *
* I should go about my day *
* And ignore your whispers *
* Which I wish would go away, oh *
[ Chuckles ] Whoo!
* Oh-oh *
* You're not a voice *
* You're just a ringing in my ear *
* And if I heard you, which I don't *
* I'm spoken for, I fear *
* Everyone I've ever loved is here within these walls *
* I'm sorry, secret siren, but I'm blocking out your calls *
* I've had my adventure *
* I don't need something new *
* I'm afraid of what I'm risking if I *
* Follow you *
* Into the unknown *
Yes!
**
* Oh-oh-oh *
* Are you out there? * * Do you know me? *
* Can you feel me? * * Can you show me? *
* Ah-ah, ah-ah *
[ Vocalizes ]
* Where are you going? *
* Don't leave me alone *
* How do I follow you *
* Into the unknooown? *
Hey!
**
[ Cheers and applause ]
Hey! They got Blake out of his seat!
Gwen: Oh, yeah! Whoo!
Yeah!
John: [ Chuckles ]
Let's go!
I think I speak for everybody here when I say,
"What the hell?" [ Laughter ]
How is there enough time on this show to even rehearse?
That would be like after,
like, an eight-month run on Broadway.
Lana, you're incredible. Thank you.
You stepped into character
when you got onstage and you became... Elsa.
...that moment, you know.
You became Elsa. Yeah. It was really incredible.
You did. Thank you so much. Thank you.
Omar, that was unbelievable.
You're -- You're one of the best singers
I've ever heard. Wow.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Thank you, thank you.
You can't go wrong here.
I-I would probably choose Omar.
Thank you. That was probably my top two favorite moments
of this season. That's awesome.
I just feel so inspired after that. That's awesome.
It just felt so pro.
When you locked into the verse in character,
I was just like, "Whoa, like, star power."
Omar, I mean, bro, you're an entertainer.
Like, you just remind me of Freddie Mercury
and the ease with which,
like Bruno and Anderson perform --
like, you were born to do this.
Thank you. [ Cheers and applause ]
I feel like I was, like, shot up in a rocket
and then went around the moon, and then I'm like,
"Wait, can we just, like, rewind?"
Why aren't you just, like, on Broadway
singing every single night?
And it was such a great pairing.
You know, it's sad, because it's, like,
somebody has to go home, and you guys should just keep
doing what you do, which is sing songs
and use the gift that God gave you.
Thank you so much, Gwen. Thank you, Gwen.
Daly: Thank you, coaches.
John, you've got the final decision.
Give us some thoughts first on the battle.
John: Wow. I mean, Lana, I just love your passion,
your -- the way you -- you move your body when you sing.
And everyone's right,
like, you should be on Broadway right now,
like, you have the voice for it.
Thank you.
Omar, I mean, I've never heard anyone sing like you, dude.
You're not just singing -- you're, like, giving
the physical performance.
You're, like, getting into it.
I like the way you just even toss the mic to yourself.
You just felt confident, in control.
Just know that, both of you,
it was phenomenal to watch and just inspiring for us, honestly.
Bro.
All right, John, the time has come.
Who is the winner of this battle?
[ Dramatic music plays ]
The winner of this battle...
**
...is Omar.
Omar, Congratulations!
You're doing on to the knockouts. [ Speaking indistinctly ]
Oh, my God, Lana and Omar just rocked this audience.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Lana -- this was the best vocal performance
that she's delivered.
Incredible. Incredible. But there's very few voices
in the world with the range, the quality, the soul,
the control that Omar has.
I think Omar could definitely win "The Voice."
Congratulations. Ah!
I can't even. I'm, like, shaking.
It's so cool. It's so cool.
Thank you. Thank you, "The Voice,"
for letting me be on here.
Lana, anything you want to say to John?
John, I just love you. I have been a fan since day one.
And thank you for this opportunity.
Thank you. You have such a gift.
You're such a great performer. Thank you.
Give it up for Lana Love one more time!
[ Cheers and applause ]
You guys were...up there. Thank you.
You killed it. Thank you.
Yes.
Thank you, Gwen.
[ Cheers and applause continue ]
Oh, my God, that guy.
That guy's unreal.
He's unbelievable.
Unreal.
* This is "The Voice" * Daly: Welcome back.
**
Oh, it's Camila's camera.
I bet she'd love it if we take some pictures.
Oh, my God, yes, let's do it. Let's take --
I'll take a -- take a selfie first.
Here -- Here we go. [ Camera shutter clicks, camera whirring ]
Let's do a silly one.
Okay. I'll put some bunny ears
behind you. * I'm famous *
Oh, my God.
**
* Bright lights and pretty things *
Little gift for you there, Camila.
**
Dorks.
**
Oh, my God, everybody on my team is really special.
I think you're a bit biased.
Because they are on your team. I think that this
is the objective truth.
I mean, I guess I chose them for a reason... They are all good.
...so of course I would think they're special,
because that's why I picked them.
Like, they've all really been incredible.
Well, wait till you hear these next two. Yeah.
Andrew and Zach are their names. They're singing
"I Wanna Dance with Somebody" by Whitney Houston.
One of them was a four-chair turn.
Oh, wow.
* Don't you know I'm no good for you? *
* I've learned to lose... *
That's, like, one of my favorite songs.
It's a pop song, but you added these crazy runs to it,
and I love your tone.
Camila. Yeah!
Oh, my God! What?!
Both, you could definitely hear, like, on a pop record. Okay.
* You know that I could use somebody *
[ Cheers and applause ]
Gwen: You're only 19.
And I promise you, if you went with me,
it would be so much fun.
I was like, wow,
he has an amazing voice, amazing tone.
Zach: I'm still pretty new to performing.
I'm gonna have to go with Camila.
Yeah!
I'm about to work with Camila for the first time...
I'm so excited. ...and I am so happy about that,
because I've never had an experience
with somebody who's been in the industry.
Should we meet them?
Yeah, I'd love to. Okay.
Oh, this is cool.
Hey, guys. Charlie: Hey, guys.
Charlie. What's happening?
I'm super excited to be working with Charlie.
How are you? How you doing?
As an artist, you sort of hope for moments like these... Hi!
...to be able to work with people
as well-versed and knowledgeable.
This is just insane. You're a little intimidating.
I walked in here and I was like, "I want to run out!"
Really? No, I'm kidding. I'm kidding.
I try -- I try not to be. Look at this face.
It's the scariest face I've ever seen.
Everyone always talks about his perfect pitch,
but the way he's able to apply that to music theory is awesome.
I'm very inspired by the both of them.
He's like a golden retriever.
He's a golden retriever for sure.
Andrew and Zach are singing
"I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me)"
by Whitney Houston.
They are emotive singers,
and I wanted them to do a sad, emotional piano version
of the song.
How are we feeling? Put it all out on the table.
Andrew: When we first found out, we were, like, very confused,
but then we heard the version, and it made more sense. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah, that's fair. And we're both, like, emotive singers, you know, so...
100%.
...I think it was a super smart choice.
And how are you guys feeling about how you sound?
I'm a little tight today, but I'm, like, okay.
I think it's nerves, but I'm just gonna push it out.
* And when the night falls *
* My lonely heart calls *
Andrew is one of the best singers on the show. * Oh, I wanna dance with somebody *
Honestly, he could do anything he wants. * I wanna feel the heat... *
* Hey, I wanna dance with somebody *
* With somebody who loves me * Charlie: For a young kid like Zach,
it's just the beginning for him.
He has a very mature voice and a very deep voice.
Yeah. Alright, alright, alright.
First of all, you both should feel great.
You both really shine in this song.
When I was watching you both perform it,
you seemed to care more about, like, hitting every note
when it's really about the emotional sentiment
that's attached to all this melodic stuff.
I just want to feel a little bit more of what --
Like, more of the energy of the song.
You just kind of have to showcase
what you're internally feeling without telling us.
You tell us with the -- the music
and the band that's behind you.
Let's try and find an intention for the song.
Does this song feel more happy to you or more sad to you?
It feels more sad to me.
I think sad, as well.
You should run with that.
Zach: This song does take me back to my childhood.
It wasn't the best situation.
When I was in seventh grade, my parents got divorced.
I'd always go to my room, and I'd sit down at the piano,
rather than, like,
sitting there crying about it or trying to release it that way.
The best way for me was to just write about what's on my mind.
For me to win this battle round,
I think I need to make sure that I stay connected to the song.
Think about who do you love the most in the world?
Andrew: The song makes me think about my entire family, really,
because we always used to listen to Whitney's greatest hits
during, like, holidays and just us cooking and having fun.
My parents had to fight tooth and nail as immigrants.
They provided me with this life and this possibility to pursue
whatever I want to pursue, so I-I don't want to waste it.
Andrew, what's helped me
with my performance anxiety or -- or nerves --
I remember when I sang this song at the Grammys for my dad,
and it was just the most intimidating crowd ever.
It's scary, but I remember being like,
"You know what? More important than anybody here
that I'm trying to impress
is what an amazing dad my dad has been to me,
so I'm just gonna focus on him."
And anytime I get a little thought like,
"Oh my God, what if I forget the words?"
I want to be like, "Camila, who cares?"
Andrew: I'm self-taught for the most part.
I haven't really taken that many vocal lessons.
So I was feeling nerves, and that was making me tense.
But talking to Camila --
she's really helping me understand
how to be in the moment
instead of being too over-critical of my voice,
and it's really helpful.
You just got to own it. Yeah.
Even if you go off-pitch a little.
It doesn't matter. Who cares? Just own it.
Stevie Nicks, Bonnie Raitt -- all the greats --
never were unbelievably pitch-perfect.
You're not a robot. You're not a robot.
It's not gonna be human if it's perceived as perfect.
* Oh, I wanna dance with somebody *
* I wanna feel the heat with somebody *
Camila: In this battle, I'm looking for growth. Whoo!
It doesn't have to be perfect, doesn't have to be flawless,
doesn't have to be the most technically perfect
vocal performance ever,
but I want to see, like, star power.
* With somebody who loves me *
That ending. That was way better.
That is lit. I'm gonna toss this right here.
How do you feel? I feel okay.
Why just okay? 'Cause I feel like I could've done better.
What? You're lit, bro. Thank you so much.
I appreciate that. I think that you're being too hard on yourself.
I'm very hypercritical. I'm very hypercritical, too.
Just look at the audience. I'm very hypercritical.
It's gonna make a -- a lot of -- of big, big difference.
What should I do? Here's the thing -- you have to remind yourself,
"I don't have to be perfect. I will probably mess up.
Why? Because I'm human, and that's normal."
Andrew was being so hard on himself,
but once he realizes... 'Cause you're already 200%...
...how special and how gifted he is... ...everybody else.
...he is going to, like, really fly.
Don't worry about the nerves, bro, you're good.
I'm trying. I shook him.
I tried to get the nerves out of him.
They're coming out. He got like half of them.
Shake me, like, I need it more than he does.
We're doing the same thing. I'll shake you, too, bro.
I think the person that connects with the message
is going to ultimately connect the most with Camila.
All right, y'all. Thank you.
This is gonna be a really hard decision.
* This is "The Voice" *
Daly: Welcome back to the battle rounds.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Hey, look at that jacket.
Cutie, cutie, cutie boys.
[ Laughs ]
Let the battle begin.
**
* Clock strikes upon the hour *
* And the sun begins to fade *
* Still enough time to figure out *
* How to chase my blues away *
* I've done alright up 'til now *
* It's the light of day that shows me how *
* And when the night falls *
Hey! * My lonely heart calls *
* Oh, I wanna dance with somebody *
* I wanna feel the heat with somebody *
* Hey, I wanna dance with somebody *
* With somebody who loves me *
* Oh, I wanna dance with somebody *
* I wanna feel the heat with somebody * Yeah!
* Hey, I wanna dance with somebody *
* With somebody who loves me *
* Somebody who *
* Somebody who loves me *
Whoo! Zach: * Somebody who *
* Somebody who *
* Somebody who loooves me *
* I've been all right up to now *
* It's the light of day that shows me how *
* And when the night falls * Wow.
* My lonely heart * * Calls *
* Oh, I wanna dance with somebody *
Whoo! * I wanna feel the heat with somebody *
* Hey, I wanna dance with somebody *
* With somebody who loves me *
* Oh, I wanna dance with somebody *
* I wanna feel the heat with somebody *
* Hey, I wanna dance with somebody *
* With somebody who loves me *
Yeah! * With somebody who loves *
* Me *
[ Cheers and applause ]
Yeah!
All right!
[ Cheers and applause ] [ Speaking indistinctly ]
Yeah, my boys! Hello.
[ Speaking indistinctly ] Wow, that's a hard song to do.
I know. Oh, my gosh.
Zach, your voice really shined.
It was like an alternative-sounding voice
in a pop song. Yeah.
I like the contrast of that.
Andrew, what I love about your voice
is some of the unexpected runs that you do.
They're just not normal.
I love the range in your voice that you can go so low,
and you are very beautiful.
You -- It was stunning when you came out.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Thank you, thank you.
John: Something about Andrew --
you do a lot of unexpected things as a vocalist,
and I think that's very cool.
You have an interesting approach to music,
but Zach was just more consistently on point.
Your tone is really lovely. Thank you.
It was just well-executed.
Thank you. Thanks so much.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Andrew, almost felt like something was holding you back.
Every time there was an opportunity
to get up to a note, they just didn't quite land.
I just think you're better than --
than what happened here today.
Zach, you were both kind of handed a -- a tall task here,
but that's what I love about the battle rounds
is when you are handed something that's almost impossible to do
and you figure out how to make it work.
And I figure that Zach -- he came through the best
in this performance for me, so I'd go with Zach.
Thank you. Appreciate that. Daly: Thank you, coaches.
Camila, you have the final decision.
I'm really, really proud of you guys.
Andrew, I was so happy when I saw you dancing and having fun.
You have this incredible talent,
but I think that your hypercriticism of yourself
is keeping you from accessing the freedom
and the fun to go to that next level. Mm-hmm.
But the talent is there. Thank you.
And Zach singing a Whitney song --
I was like, "This is gonna be interesting.
I want to see if he steps up to the plate,"
and you really did. You were consistent.
And I saw a lot of growth from rehearsal.
And I'm really, really, really proud of you. Thanks.
I think you guys are both really talented,
and I know that you guys are growing.
Camila, tough decision, but the time has come.
Who is the winner of this battle?
Ugh!
[ Dramatic music plays ]
[ Screams ]
[ Laughter ]
Pbht.
**
The winner of this battle is...
**
* This is "The Voice" *
Daly: Welcome back to the battles.
Camila, tough decision, but the time has come.
Who is the winner of this battle?
Ugh!
The winner of this battle is...
[ Dramatic music plays ]
...Andrew.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Zach did a great job, but I had to go with Andrew
because Andrew's voice and tone is so special.
I don't think that there's any voice like his on the show. Thank you.
I don't think he knows how good he is,
and I just want to pull that confidence out of him.
Zach, anything you want to say to your coach?
This was a great experience.
I feel like I grew so much from it.
Thank you guys so much. This is awesome. You did so good.
Give it up for Zach Newbould, ladies and gentlemen!
Andrew and Zach were both really good.
I can see why Camila ended up going with Andrew.
But if I had a steal, I would have probably stolen Zach.
I wish I had another save. Thank you.
It's just hard to see people go home.
Great job, Zach.
But it's so cool to see these performances,
to see all this talent,
and to be surprised.
**
* I ain't playin' no games *
* Every word that I say is coming straight from the heart *
* So if you tryna lay in these arms *
* I'ma leave the door open *
Camila: Chello, you have this magical star quality.
I think I'm gonna go with Chello.
[ Cheers and applause ] Chello!
John: There are underdogs and favorites,
but sometimes, the performances say something else,
and you've got to go with your heart.
* Then you couldn't make things new *
* Just by saying I love you *
* La da da * Peyton, your voice
has an edge and a power to it.
I appreciate that. Thank you.
The winner of this battle is Peyton.
Daly: Peyton, congratulations!
Gwen: I think Peyton has a lot of potential.
He has a really big voice and a big range.
Great job.
The performances so far
have been kind of mind-blowing.
I haven't been here for a while,
so I feel like they're even better than I remember. Whoo!
* I would give everything I own *
* Just to have you *
* Back again *
Your voice is such a storytelling voice.
It's so personal to you.
I'm gonna say that Kayla won this -- this battle. Thank you so much.
Daly: Kayla, congratulations.
You're moving on to the knockouts,
representing Team Gwen.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Man: Here we go, folks. Stand by.
The pressure's on, Blake Shelton.
Yep.
So how about the trio, guys?
Yeah. I know. How do -- How do you feel singing with a duo?
Is it weird? Are you cool with it?
It's -- It's so incredible.
It's just that our sound is so unique.
All right, these are always tough to me
because you have a solo artist to go against a duo. Mm-hmm.
Yeah. Both of these artists are country.
I mean, The Dryes probably go
a couple of different directions. Yeah, I know.
It's not -- It's not The Wets...
It's The Dryes. It's The Dryes.
That'd be embarrassing if you said it the wrong way. Not The Wets.
Yeah, The Wet-- [ Chuckles ]
Here they come. Coming in hot. Ah. Yeah!
Y'all come meet my buddy, Jimmie Allen. So, how y'all doing, man?
What's up, man? How you doing, bro? What's up?
So, Jimmie -- Jimmie Allen's here today,
and it's just such an honor to be in the presence of him.
How are you? I'm Jimmie, good to meet you... Hi, nice to meet you.
I'm gonna give you a hug. ...as well, come on in.
Nice to meet you. Shaking Jimmie Allen's hand reminded me of, like,
what it takes to be an independent artist.
With us living in Nashville, it's been a long road,
but someone like Jimmie and many others before us
have really paved the way.
You all live in Nashville, right? We do, mm-hmm.
Y'all been gigging any or what?
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, we did a few shows while we were home.
Jimmie: Nice. We did one at 3rd & Lindsley.
Derek: Some writers rounds. So... Love that.
We'll hang out at Robert's or something. Nice.
Yeah. I love Robert's.
What about Ole Red, for God's sakes?
We do! We do! I was milking it.
Ain't nobody missing Ole Red. I was waiting on it.
I was milking it. Oh, my God.
* Islands in the stream *
* That is what we are *
* No on in between *
How long have you guys been married?
10 years in November.
There's no better way to duet
than if you're doing et.
"Doing et." Oh, my God. And so -- And so...
We're going to go with Blake.
Alright!
Where do you live now?
I live in Statesboro, Georgia.
College town. Yeah.
Bryce: Going to college, I went for a degree in business
and fell in love with music there.
I went from showing up to open mic nights to booking shows,
playing in front of 100 people to 1,500 people
to selling out my first concert.
I'm small-town famous, maybe.
Maybe on a good day. [ Chuckles ]
* How can you walk away? *
* Don't I matter anymore? *
Man, I was blown away.
And what a great country name. Leather...wood.
My man! Shake your hand.
I'm trying to take my talents from Statesboro, Georgia,
all the way here to L.A. and show "The Voice" what I can do.
* I was raised off of Rural Route 3 *
* Out past where the blacktop ends * Blake: I gave these guys "Red Dirt Road"
because it's a great song for a duo, obviously,
but the message of it is just so, so country.
Bryce has got that cowboy George Strait thing about him
that I knew they would all have a great time singing this thing.
* I learned the path to heaven *
* Is full of sinners and believers *
I love just that raw Georgia country in Bryce's voice.
* Down that red dirt road *
* It's where I drank my first beer *
* It's where I found Jesus *
Katelyn's killing it.
And Derek, he's got a really good tone
that actually fits really well with his wife.
* Of that red dirt road *
Bryce: Well, after hearing The Dryes singing,
you know, I am intimidated by them.
by the soulful harmonies that they have --
something I'd never done.
It's gonna be a hard struggle,
but I couldn't be more blessed to be here.
That's a cool arrangement.
Oh, yeah. Thank y'all.
This sounds real good, man.
The main thing to work on is just the three-part harmony.
Mm-hmm. Yeah. Just tightening that up, you know.
Everybody's kind of trickling off at different places.
You guys probably aren't because it's automatic to you,
but Bryce is trying to figure out how to be in a trio now. Katelyn: Totally.
[ Laughs ] Right, yeah. Solo artist, you know.
Bryce definitely has a plateful.
He's trying to quickly learn
how to blend with these other two singers.
And -- And he definitely has the biggest challenge.
You're the only female voice in it,
so you really kind of got to drive this thing.
Totally. 'Cause when you came in the beginning, you're strong.
Yeah. When you came in kind of after
the guys started singing, it wasn't as...
Yeah. ...powerful.
Like, still bring it.
This song is so special to us.
You know, the song talks about where I first saw Mary,
where I drank my first beer,
where I found Jesus and -- A lot of firsts.
I mean, it kind of reminded me of us 'cause, like,
we moved to Nashville, and we have a house now,
and we're planting our own roots
and our own firsts in -- in Nashville. Mm-hmm.
* It's where I found Jesus *
Just to think about our growth as a couple
and, also, like, our music career.
We're gonna be doing music in some facet
for the rest of our lives... Yeah.
...whether we have kids next year
or five years from now or whatever,
and wherever that -- those two roads lead,
I just know that we're gonna get through it together.
When you do the super high thing on the last chorus,
full voice is more powerful. Yeah.
Like, the song has built to that.
Yeah. Yeah.
* It's where I found Jesus *
Stay up there. Okay, cool.
I-I think it'll be -- All right.
Sounds really good. [ Singing indistinctly ]
The thing I feel about country music, man,
what gives us an advantage is, a lot of times, you know,
we have songs that connect with our listeners on a deeper level.
I think that was a great song choice for them.
Just gotta wait for lights, camera, action,
and...see who shows up. Jimmie, thank you so much.
* This is "The Voice" *
Daly: Welcome back to the battles.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Ha ha! It's country. That's country right there.
Leatherwood.
[ Cheers and applause continue ]
This battle starts right now.
**
* I was raised off of Rural Route 3 *
* Out past where the blacktop ends *
* We'd walked to church on Sunday morning *
* Race barefoot back to the Johnson's fence *
* That's where I first saw Mary *
* On that roadside pickin' blackberries *
* That summer I turned a corner in my soul *
* Down that red dirt road *
* It's where I drank my first beer *
* It's where I found Jesus *
* Where I wrecked my first car *
* I tore it all to pieces *
* I learned the path to heaven *
* Is full of sinners and believers *
* Learned that happiness on Earth *
* Ain't just for high achievers *
* I've learned *
* I've come to know *
* There's life at both ends *
* Of that red dirt road *
[ Audience cheers ]
* I went out into the world *
* And I came back in *
* I lost Mary *
* Oh, I got her back again *
**
* And driving home tonight *
* Feels like I've found a long lost friend *
Wow.
Yeah. That was pretty.
* It's where I drank my first beer * Wow.
* It's where I found Jesus *
* Where I wrecked my first car *
* I tore it all to pieces *
* I've learned *
* I've come to know *
* There's life at both ends *
* Yes, I've learned *
* I've come to know *
* There's life at both ends *
* Of that red dirt road *
* Ooohhh *
[ Cheers and applause ]
Yeah!
Thank you, buddy. Good job, guys.
Great job.
[ Cheers and applause continue ]
That was good! Camila: All righty.
All righty, righty, righty.
That was so cool.
[ Laughter ] All righty, righty, righty.
Is it just me or was the tempo kind of --
Completely out of the pocket in the...
In the beginning, right? The beginning of the song, yeah.
But they finally caught up.
Was that just nerves, excitement, or...?
Hearing. I think it was lack --
Yeah, we just couldn't hear the drums. Yeah, hearing.
Couldn't hear. Camila: Yeah, fair enough.
You guys all had different strengths.
Like your harmonies were really, really tight.
You guys hit every note.
But Mr. Leatherwood really shined for me.
I felt more at ease hearing and watching him, like
there was a calm confidence. Mm-hmm.
For whatever reason, I resonated with Bryce
more on this performance.
But I think that you guys are also really talented.
Well, thank you.
These guys are incredible. It has been nothing
but a pleasure to work with these guys. Thank you, buddy.
Oh, my God, that's so sweet.
Thank you, Bryce. Thanks, man. I can't state that enough.
I didn't know what was going on in the beginning either,
but I did notice that as the performance was going on,
it just kept getting better and better.
And by the end, you guys were all glued together. Yeah.
The Dryes -- it's fun to watch you.
You can see the chemistry.
Your voices blend very well together.
And when Mr. Leatherwood came in...
[ Laughter ]
It's just good -- Mr. Leatherwood.
Your voice is so warm.
The three of your voices together...
Woman: Whoo! ...was so beautiful.
The Dryewoods. [ John laughs ]
Yes, I like that. [ Laughs ]
If I had to choose someone, Blake,
I would probably go with Bryce.
Thank you.
Bryce, your voice is so pure and warm.
You just execute everything
with precision and, like, confidence and ease.
The only issue I had with it was that it felt just so easy
that it didn't have any punch or oomph or fire to it.
Yes, sir. But I did feel that from The Dryes.
I felt like the dynamic was just more electric.
Bryce may be the most purely on-point vocalist,
but I find myself more drawn to The Dryes.
Daly: Thank you, coaches.
All right, buddy, final decision is yours.
Give us some thoughts first on the battle.
You know, this pocket thing --
I wish we could have a do-over, which --
I've been texting with the legal department.
Apparently, that's a no-go, so... [ Laughter ]
But it happened, and you were able to recover.
Kudos to you guys for just being veterans
and powering on through it, you know.
Bryce, I'm still learning about you.
You're 22 years old,
and -- and I don't know how much experience you have onstage,
but it seems like you've got about 40 years of experience.
Played a few bars. Just your presence
standing there, I mean... Thank you.
Does he not seem like an old man up there?
Like... John: Yeah.
I feel like one, man. You'd be surprised.
He's got a half-smile. He does the...
And that's -- that's all it takes, you know?
And it doesn't hurt the fact that, you know,
you're a great singer.
You're one of those guys that's like a George Strait.
And you deliver, and you're solid,
and people react to that.
And The Dryes -- the same thing, you know?
So, I'm sitting here talking through all this,
because I -- this is how I make decisions.
I'm actually talking this out for myself right now.
Blake, who's the winner of this battle?
[ Audience shouting ]
I try to, if I can, always base it on
what happened in this moment.
[ Dramatic music plays ]
And today...
**
...Bryce is the winner of this battle.
Congratulations. Thank you.
Bryce moving on to the knockouts. Thank y'all.
This was truly a tough choice for me,
but I feel like Bryce is one of these guys --
he's almost unshakable.
I mean, he's only 22 years old.
He's focused. He knows what he wants to say.
Great job, man. Thank you so much.
Great job. And Bryce has the countriest name
that maybe I have ever heard in my life --
Bryce Leatherwood -- Leather...wood.
I mean, is there anything countrier than that?
That's almost like a cologne.
[ Crying ] I'm just happy that
Blake saw the light in me, and --
Oh, I'm ready to go! Let's go do this thing.
I'm -- I'm sorry. I'm crying, man.
I'll cry at a wedding, I swear.
Coaches, let me remind you
that The Dryes are available to save.
Anything you guys want to say to your coach?
We've loved you and your music for many years.
Well, that's enough. Ohh!
Well, there you have it!
Blake uses his one and only save... Yes!
...on his own artists.
Yes! Love you, babe.
The married duo, The Dryes, aren't going anywhere. Oh, yay!
I like that.
Flattery will get you everywhere, right? I know, right?
The Dryes are super talented. They just got behind the beat.
And I know that they're better musicians than that.
Let's have a do-over. That's so awesome!
If there's anything I can do to give someone a second chance,
then I'm gonna do that, and that's why I used my save.
John: We did it, guys.
Good job, everybody.
Hell yeah.
