* We'll take them down * [ Cheers and applause ]
Give it up for our Season 26 coaches --
Reba McEntire...
Yes!
...Michael Bublé...
Hello. Hello, hello, hello.
...Gwen Stefani...
* And we're never coming down *
And...
Man: [ Speaking indistinctly ]
We want Snoop!
[ Cheers and applause ]
**
Daly: And Snoop Dogg!
**
Oh, my God.
**
* Yo sé bien*
* Que estoy afuera*
* Pero el día que yo me muera*
* Sé que tendrás que llorar*
Vamo!
* No tengo trono ni reina*
* Ni nadie que me comprenda*
* Pero sigo siendo el rey*
Wow.
So good!
I love you, bro. I love you, too, man.
I wanted the grand entrance of that song, "El Rey."
It means "the king."
I wanted to show these coaches how a real player play.
You know, I do it big.
Not with one G. Two G's. Double G.
Vamo!
That was great!
Alright, Snoop, you may be the king of "The Voice,"
but I'm just gonna remind everybody who the queen is.
You know, I still got the wave.
Yes, yes. Love, love, love.
That was awesome, Snoop.
I love me some mariachi music, man.
Dreion: My name is Dreion.
I am 27 years old, and I am originally from Omaha, Nebraska.
* Don't it feel so good * [ Laughter ]
I made it, y'all. I am in L.A.!
Whew! Let's do it.
I'm gonna be singing "Shining Star"
by Earth, Wind & Fire.
That song is very special
because I have opened up on tour for Earth, Wind & Fire.
It's such an incredible experience
to work with these legends.
The way your staging should look,
the lighting, the sound.
It makes me have to step up my game
and reach that because, I mean...
talking about Earth, Wind & Fire.
* Don't it feel so good? *
I got connected to Earth, Wind & Fire
through their foster care organization that I work with,
helping foster youth transition into adulthood.
I was placed in the foster care system
at the age of 7 years old.
My mother had me at 17.
My father was in and out of my life because of prison.
My mother did the best that she absolutely could,
but she came up to my school and she disciplined me openly.
I was immediately taken away from her.
I remember being placed in the back of a police car
and asking the police officer,
"Will I ever see my mom and my family again?"
and him telling me, "I don't know, kid."
I was placed in five different foster homes.
I experienced severe abuse from other kids.
The only thing I had during that time was God and music.
I would take these blankets --
one of them had, like, a hole in it,
and I put it over my head and made it a robe
so I could be a choir director,
singing to the millions of people that were in my room.
[ Chuckles ]
And I like to say that that dream eventually came true.
You got this. I love you.
After foster care, I moved back in with my mother.
We reconnected, and we started our relationship over.
And my father brought me a drum set.
I would just play that drum set for hours.
And that's what I did with all of the instruments
that I played.
When I'm not on tour,
I go home to my wife and my two little girls.
Say, hi, Nori. Hi!
And there's Amara.
We go out to movies. We go out for ice cream.
They have a completely different life.
We having fun doing what we do. Family outing.
They know that I'm going to protect them.
And I think that that's the most beautiful thing ever.
Have a great show, everybody.
What? You, too. Everybody have a great show.
Good spirit.
Heads down for one second.
Peace, love, spirit, and family.
Beautiful show. Blessings.
Thanks, Snoop. Let's go.
Dreion: This opportunity is humongous.
If you want to be a legend, walk with legends.
I've had the incredible opportunity to do that
in my career, and I want to continue that.
Alright, alright.
You got it, baby.
**
Hit me!
* When you wish upon a star *
* Your dreams will take you very far *
* Yeah *
* But when you wish upon a dream *
* Life ain't always what it seems *
* Oh, yeah * Come on, baby.
* What'd you see on a night so clear *
* Hey *
* In the sky so very dear? *
Whoo-hoo!
* You're a shining star *
* No matter who you are *
* Shining bright to see *
* What you could truly be *
* Yeah *
Hit me!
* Shining star come into view *

Come on, now, baby!

Hey!

* Hey, no matter who you are *
* Shining bright to see *
* What you can truly be * Whoo!
* Shining star for you to see *
* What your life can truly be *
* Shining star for you to see *
* What your life can truly *
* Be *
Come on now! Come on, baby!
[ Cheers and applause ]
Hey.
Whoo-whoo!
Ow!
Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow!
That was fun.
Yes, sir.
What your name is, and where you from?
My name is Dreion.
I am from Omaha, Nebraska,
and I am 27 years old.
Earth, Wind & Fire, that's one of my favorites.
You understand me?
I redid that on one of my albums,
so that kind of touched me.
That's why I hit that button so fast.
I actually toured with Earth, Wind & Fire,
their opening act.
So that song is near and dear to my heart as well.
What?! Oh, my God.
That's beautiful.
Wow. Wow.
I loved your song. I loved your singing.
So powerful, and I had to turn around
and see what you look like, and I loved your dance moves.
Thank you. It was very entertaining.
And welcome to "The Voice." Thank you.
Very good.
It's very rare that you can get somebody
that can sing and have a stage, like, aura, like you had.
That takes years,
and that's not an easy song to do.
I would love to work with you.
Thank you. Michael: That was a pleasure, dude.
I turned my chair so fast,
I felt lonely out here for a while.
[ Laughter ]
I was with you.
I just loved every second of that.
Especially when you hit that falsetto.
Dude, that's -- it's beautiful.
Thank you, Michael.
You heard them.
Now you can talk to your coach, right?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What? Uh-oh.
So, these are some of the things
that I'm gonna work on with you.
That's a little confident. Oh, yeah.
We're -- We're -- We're here. Oh.
Basically, you have the skill
and the will to command the stage,
but there's some things that I could give you
to help you get all the way over the top.
And I'd love to have you on my team, representing.
Okay. Hmm.
With all due respect. With all due respect.
[ Laughter ] I love it.
I tell you, Dreion, I did win last season.
[ Laughs ]
I've been in the business a long time,
so I think I can help you a little bit, too.
In all due respect. Respect it.
You said 27 is your age.
So, I was in No Doubt from 17 till 26,
just writing songs
and just never thinking anyone would hear it.
So, you're right on time.
Like, there's still time.
I appreciate that because I've been doing it
since I was 4 years old, so it's been many years.
I'm married. I have a wife. I have two daughters.
Wow! Uh, so, um...
You sound like you need to be with me, dawg.
You -- You got a -- [ Laughter ]
You got a coach that's married with kids.
You got a coach that understands the music.
Come on, man, quit playing. What are we doing?
What are we doing, man? What are we doing, Dreion?
Take the I-O-N off, and that's Dre and Snoop.
Come on, man, quit playing. [ Laughter ]
Hold on, hold on. I got to fight for him.
I haven't had a chance to fight for him.
You better hurry. Uh-oh.
He's bringing out the jewelry.
I'm just saying. Now, they can finish talking.
I-I showed you what we got. Wait, wait.
* Death Row is the label that pays me *
Wait! Look at my shoes.
[ Laughter ]
Those are very nice. I like those shoes.
We -- We could be working together.
Hey, Dreion, can we just get real for one second?
Okay. [ Laughter ]
Firstly, it's No "Doot." Not No Doubt.
That's how we say it in Canada. Oh, No "Doot."
No "Doot." No "Doot."
I just want you to know, dude, that if you pick me,
I will make you proud.
One of us in your heart, you know,
gives you a path to making that dream of yours come true.
So, make the right decision.
As you see, I'm comfortable,
confident, drinking, eating candy.
Tell them who your coach is.
[ Laughter ]
Um, you all have given me a really hard decision.
Good.
Um, but I will have to say, uh...
...my choice is going to be...
**
...Uncle Snoop.
* Snoop Doggy Dogg *
Snoop: That was like a Super Bowl win for me.
I'm, like, the rookie.
So, for a rookie to put up 50 points,
25 rebounds, 13 assists.
Hey, that's what I do.
* Bow wow wow yippie-yo *
His soul touched my soul, and he had range.
And then when I turned around and seen him,
he had showmanship.
I'm probably the rookie of the year.
Look at my stats.
Guess what? Snoop Dogg is my coach.
And I got four chair turns.
I think this is gonna be awesome!
You were confident from the beginning. He was.
I told you I was eating tater chips.
Drinking.
It felt like we was in my backyard...
[ Laughter ]
...with a homeboy.
Reba: Snoop's really hard to beat.
I mean, he's got the best lines.
Snoop is a good sparring partner,
but I'm not quitting.
Mama didn't raise no quitter.
Together: * Snoop Doggy Dogg *
Whoo! Hey!
Daly: Still to come...
* This game of life weighs heavy on my heart *
Oh! What?!
They blocked old Reba.
Look how mad she is!
Daly: And later... I say this humbly.
I'm an international superstar who -- [ Laughter ]
You want to fight some more?
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding!
Round two.
[ Fanfare plays ]
Oh, no. She got that stick.
* 'Cause I'm just a girl *
* Oh, little old me *
Mississippi in the house!
'Sipp, 'Sipp, 'Sipp, 'Sipp.
My mama and daddy from Mississippi.
My grandma was from Mississippi.
My family's from Canada.
[ Laughter ]
They added a Coach's Replay.
If I was to push this red button right now,
you would be on my team.
[ Cheers and applause ]
* This is "The Voice" *
Daly: Welcome back to the blind auditions.
Hello, hello. [ British accent ] Hey, ladies.
How are ya? That's my fear.
Are you guys -- What are you guys talking about?
No, we're talking about how good you're doing.
[ Normal voice ] I thought they was
getting ready to get rid of us.
You know how you -- you get that call
to be like, "The boss would like to see you."
"Yeah. What's going on?"
"Bring your computer and your phone."
[ Laughter ] So, who you gonna block?
If I hear someone and they sound like that country th--
I might block you, you know what I mean?
Good strategy. It's gonna be like that for each of you.
I'm gonna have, like, that thought of, like,
who would they pick first,
and can I destroy them by blocking them?
It's strategy all the way.
So, let's get out there and get some people picked.
Let's go, let's go, let's go. Let's go, Team Snoop!
Team Snoop. Team Snoop. Team Snoop.
Reba Team. Somebody Team.
My team got to learn how to dance, too.
You can't be on my team.
That's one of the traits I'm looking for.
You got to learn how to dance
if you're gonna be on my team.
That's funny. Your hair got to be nice,
and you got to be a great dancer.
**
[ Toilet flushes ] We have made it to LAX.
Currently filming in the stall
because I'm too scared to film in public.
What's up? My name is Mor Ilderton.
Let the fun begin.
I'm 20 years old,
and I'm from Teays Valley, West Virginia.
Whoo!
I've always loved music, but as a kid,
I was mischievous, you could say.
I got away with a little bit,
but I always got caught in the end.
My grandma took me in at 2 years old
when my mom passed away.
At 18, I was getting a little too much for Grandma,
so my uncle and aunt took me in.
I just wanted Mor to have direction
and have a figure in his life.
He always knew in his heart he could come to me.
My uncle Josh did five years in the Marine Corps,
so he means business.
But he's the most loving, kind-hearted person.
He's like a superhero to me.
Uh, I knew this would happen.
My uncle and aunt treat me like I'm one of their sons.
And...I-I wouldn't be here without them.
I'm speechless. Golly.
I started singing two years ago.
He was grounded. Yeah, that's why.
'Cause I was grounded, so I picked up the guitar. He was grounded,
and he did not -- was not allowed to do anything.
And he just taught himself how to play guitar.
I'm really big into, like, indie folk.
I like that mountain music.
I've played in front of, like, friends, family,
but, like, a live audience?
Yeah, this will be my first time officially.
I hope all four chairs turn and then you get to choose.
Me, personally... Reba.
...I like me some Reba.
My stomach's in knots right now.
Man: Our next artist is entering now.
Mor: I've never sang into a mic before.
Just the thought of making the family proud...
Whew. Come on, man. Good luck.
Let's get it.
I love them so much.
Like...
everyone deserves to have a family like that.
Everybody.
Alright, Mor, let's do it, buddy.
With their support,
I'm pushing myself to do something
I've never done before.
**
* I remember what you told me *
* Said drinking was unholy *
* So, Lord, can you point me to the creek? *
* And I still keep it with me *
* Tucked under all the memories *
* Your voice echoing throughout those trees *
**
Come on, come on.
* I've seen heaven without dying *
* Met the devil without trying *
* And they both seem to want to talk to me *
* But I'm all out of luck now *
* My dreams aren't worth a buck now *
* It's tough tryna land on my feet *
* When this game of life weighs heavy on my heart *
* And love is tough, but loneliness is twice as hard *
* And I'll carry that 'bout everywhere I go *
* They say pressure makes diamonds *
* How the hell am I still coal? * Wow, man.
* This game of life weighs heavy on my heart *
* And love is tough, but loneliness is twice as hard *
* And I'll carry that 'bout everywhere I go *
* They say pressure makes diamonds *
* How the hell am I still coal? *
[ Cheers and applause ]
Yeah, my boy!
**
Oh! What?!
Who did this?
Hey!
Look how mad she is! Hey, my brother.
That's cold-blooded. Blocked her.
You're so cute!
They blocked old Reba.
What's your name, and where are you from?
And who's your favorite coach?
Because I blocked who I think is your favorite coach.
[ Laughter ]
My name is Mor Ilderton,
and I'm from West Virginia, baby.
Da-V.
Your name is Mor? Just M-O-R.
Mor, I want more.
Yes. I spun my chair around before --
I didn't even touch the red button.
I touched the "block Reba" button
because I didn't want the greatest-ever country singer
in the universe to even get close.
Okay, you're forgiven. [ Laughter ]
When her chair turned around,
your eyes say, like, "Oh, Reba."
[ Laughter ]
Some of the voices that you and I love,
they're unique voices.
I'm talking about Willie Nelson, one of my favorite dudes.
We just did a song together.
Just a distinct voice, full of character.
You have that for me, Mor.
I'm jealous of your hair. Thank you so much.
I turned my thing so fast,
I thought my toupee was gonna come off.
[ Laughter ]
I love that "The Voice" gets to have
somebody as unique as you.
Thank you so much. Thank you.
Gwen: I think that you are super gifted.
Really, like a Zach Bryan.
Like that kind of same folky, organic...
But I didn't press because I did hear, like, some tuning,
which is not a big deal.
And anyways, inside that style of music,
there's a lot of room for that, and you did a great job.
Thank you so much. Thank you.
[ Laughter ]
Mad Reba is scary. You could have blocked me
on somebody that wasn't as good-sounding as Mor.
My gosh, Mor. That was incredible.
You've got a maturity about your voice
that I really did enjoy. Yes.
Thank you so much. That sexy...
Talk that talk, Reba.
Okay, that didn't sound probably right coming from me, but...
Anywho, I sure would have loved to have had you on my team,
but there is a possibility of me to steal you back,
so I'm okay with that. Ooh! Ooh!
Uh-huh. Fair warning, Bublé.
Them there's fightin' words.
Uh-huh.
Mor. Yes, sir.
How long have you been doing this?
I've never performed before. This is my first time.
Oh, my God! That's so cool!
What? Now, let me say this, first of all,
it takes a whole lot of heart to do what you did
and to do it with the strength that you did it with.
That's crazy. I love the way that you projected those lyrics.
That's why I hit the button.
I don't know why Mike hit it, but...
[ Laughter ]
But, you know, country, gangster go together.
[ Laughs ] Got my red cup.
You know what I'm talking about? I don't want to push too hard,
but my wife and I, we just gave birth
to our number five child this morning.
What are you talking about?
And I am gonna name him after you.
Mor Bublé.
[ Laughter ]
Thank you so much. I'm not lying at all.
Oh, my gosh. No pressure, my man.
There's a lot of pressure. [ Laughter ]
Dig deep and tell us who you're gonna choose as coach.
[ Audience shouting ]
Who do you think he's gonna pick?
I think he'll go with Snoop.
* Bublé, Bublé, Bublé, Bublé *
* Bublé *
[ Laughs ]
Alright.
* This is "The Voice" *
Daly: Welcome back.
Dig deep and tell us who you're gonna choose as coach.
[ Audience shouting ]
Alright.
I think I'm gonna have to go with Michael.
* Oh, I hope you know I will carry you home *
Let's go, Bublé!
Thank you so much.
Bublé!
* Oh, I know there's so many ways that this could go *
I think Mor truly has a chance
to be an actual, bona fide music superstar.
Whatever that is, he has it.
I may be a newbie, but I'm catching on quick.
Reba: My second time getting blocked?
I guess I'm gonna take that as a compliment.
If I get blocked twice, I must be a double threat.
Okay.
That felt good. Gwen: I feel, like, loser-y.
Like I should have pressed.
I think I should stop lying 'cause I feel bad about it.
You do not. I didn't know you were such a liar.
I am a liar, a little bit.
You lied your way to an artist.
I thought he was gonna tell him
he was his father or his brother in a minute.
Like, he's just lying and lying.
Reba: You ought to feel ashamed of yourself.
Michael's a rookie, and he blocked me.
That's terribly rude.
It was very devious of you to do that.
Thank you. Oh.
[ Laughter ]
I'm honestly proud of myself. I bet you are.
Like, this is -- I'm playing the game.
I'm learning. He is. He's doing very -- too well.
I was hoping he had forgotten that rule, but he didn't.
Oh, I do have my block left.
Watch out, Bublé.
Crystalla: I fell in love with rock
because of just how freeing it feels.
At times, I can be very reserved and very quiet,
but when I get on stage,
I'm, like, rocking out,
and, like, I just feel confident,
and I just let go.
My name is Crystalla Gonzalez. I'm 34 years old.
I'm from Queens, New York, and I'm here to rock.
Gwen Stefani!
Gwen's so fearless. Like, absolute legend.
I honestly can't believe
that I'm gonna perform in front of Gwen Stefani.
Like, I still, like, I-I'm freaking out.
Rock out, girl. Make it happen.
You got this.
I'm just hoping for that chair -- the chair turn.
**
* Your love is like a tidal wave *
* Spinning over my head *
* Drownin' me in your promises, better left unsaid *
* You're the right kind of sinner *
* To release my inner fantasy *
* The invincible winner * Come on, Gwen!
Come on. Come on, Gwen.
* And you know that you were born to be *
* You're a heartbreaker *
* Dream maker, love taker *
* Don't you mess around with me *
* You're a heartbreaker *
* Dream maker, love taker *
* Don't you mess around with me *
* You're a heartbreaker *
* Dream maker, love taker *
* Don't you mess around with me *
* You're a heartbreaker *
* Heartbreaker *
Whoa!
Whoo!
* Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah *
Oh, my God. I'm sorry, guys.
Oh, my gosh. Oh, man.
What's your name? Where are you from?
My name is Crystalla Gonzalez,
and I'm from Queens, New York.
New York.
Hey, Crystalla. Welcome.
I'm sorry that I didn't turn around.
I was looking for something particular,
and I was wondering if somebody else would turn
and that they might do a better job as a coach for you.
But I'm sorry that it wasn't me, Crystalla.
Thank you.
Gwen: Hi, Crystalla. Hi.
Did I say it right? Crystalla?
Yeah, you did. That is just so pretty.
Is it Italian? No?
It's actually a Greek name.
So I'm Greek, Puerto Rican, and Dominican.
Say that, baby.
[ Cheers and applause ]
You are so, like, close. Like, don't stop.
People come back here all the time.
We started No Doubt when I was 17.
I got on the radio when I was 26.
Nine years in the garage.
You're one of the reasons why I started a rock band
to begin with. Well, I can't believe she didn't turn around.
Oh, my God. No!
What about if we sing "Just a Girl" together?
Are you serious?
No way! What?! Are you kidding me?!
**
* Take this pink ribbon off my eyes *
* I'm exposed, it's no big surprise *
* Don't you think I know exactly where I stand? *
* This world is forcing me to hold your hand *
* 'Cause I'm just a girl, oh, little old me *
* Well, don't let me out of your sight *
Come on! * Oh, I'm just a girl, all pretty and petite *
* So don't let me have any rights *
Here we go! Here we go!
* Oh, I've had it up to here *
I've had to up to here. Right here!
Yeah!
Thank you so much.
Great moment. Great moment.
You can come back, though.
Because of Gwen and what an amazing person she is,
that "no" became the biggest "yes" of the day.
There's no way she didn't walk out
feeling like a complete winner.
You're on fire today, girl.
I'm -- Me? What am I doing? Michael: Yeah, you're on fire.
She'll never, ever, ever forget that in her whole life.
* This is "The Voice" *
Daly: Welcome back to the blind auditions
at Universal Studios Hollywood.
Man: 90 seconds. 90 seconds, guys.
It's Skittle time. Skittle time.
[ Laughs ]
They're so irresistible.
[ Laughter ]
Felsmere: I was on the very first season of "The Voice."
This is the first time ever that an artist has come back
that made a team as a solo artist.
Man: Next artist is entering now.
Season 1, I was young and I was just timid.
I'm coming in with a new sound, and I hope the coaches love it.
**
* Mm, I don't need a whole lotta money now *
* I don't need a big, fine car *
* I got everything that a girl could want *
* I got more than I could ask for *
* I don't have to run around *
* I don't have to stay out all night *
* 'Cause I got a sweet, sweet lovin' man *
* And he knows just how to treat me right *
I love this song. Pretty voice.
* My baby, he's alright *
* Me and my baby *
* We're so tight * So good.
* Don't you know he is some kind of wonderful? *
* Yes, he is *
* Some kinda wonderful *
* He is some kind of wonderful *
* Now, hold on, let me know just one more thing *
* Is there anybody out there *
* With a sweet, loving man like mine? *
* Ooh, ooh *
* There's got to be somebody *
* With a sweet, loving man like mine *
* Wonderful *
* They must be talking 'bout my baby *
Whoo!
[ Cheers and applause ]
What is your name, and where are you from?
My name is Felsmere.
I'm 33 years old, and I'm from Vero Beach, Florida.
Felsmere.
You don't look like what I thought
you were gonna look like at all.
Like, not even close. Surprise!
Yes. [ Laughter ]
I actually was on the first season of "The Voice."
Ooh, lucky you.
Wow. Yeah.
* Take me to New York, I'd love to see L.A. *
You might know me as Kelsey Rae
from the first season of "The Voice."
I now go by Felsmere.
* Hey, sister *
CeeLo, Adam, and Christina turned for me.
Your voice is flawless, and so are you.
You look beautiful. Thank you.
I ended up choosing CeeLo.
I was eliminated after battle rounds,
but I learned so much.
Only being 20 years old,
it was the best experience of my life.
Since Season 1, I write all my own music.
I also produce now, releasing singles.
For work, I'm a singer/songwriter.
And I just feel really grateful to sing again for the world
and be heard.
I was about to push the button to turn around,
but then I seen Gwen and I seen Mike,
and I was like, I'm not gonna win. [ Laughter ]
You sounded amazing.
Whoever you pick, you're gonna have
some great coaching and some real love
because they really care, outside of the music.
So, I'm gonna let Reba say a few words to you.
Talk to her, Reba.
Your song was great. Thank you.
Lots of action,
and you've got a beautiful voice.
You have two wonderful coaches over here.
You got one really good coach right here.
[ Laughter ]
She's a little full of herself,
but don't let that throw you off any at all.
Confident! I love it.
Yeah, that's what it is. Confidence.
But you're gonna have a great time.
So, welcome to "The Voice." Thank you so much.
Your voice is so beautiful.
Michael was, like, rocking out...
I love that song. ...singing right along with you.
* My baby, she's alright *
Oh!
I'm always trying to find
people that have, like, big dreams
that I already live, that I can coach
and just, like, figure out how to find their identity
through these songs. Yeah.
I feel like it would be so amazing for me
to hang out with you to figure out who you are.
And I'd love to have you on Team Gwen.
You have like, kind of the jazzy thing going.
And that, to me, means that you can stride
between the pop world and the jazz world.
You're perfect with your runs.
You have a really sweet tone.
Whoever you choose, you're gonna be great on this show.
Thank you so much. Thank you.
The next big question is, who is your coach?
You're premature in asking that.
Oh, you want to fight some more?
Yeah. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding!
Round two! Round two!
This is the thing. I think you have a great voice.
I love the runs, all of that.
But I think we need to figure out who you are
so that you can have, like, even more of a signature sound.
So, if you were on Team Gwen,
I would help America get to know you.
Good pitch. She pretty much just did it.
Wow, she killed that one. Good pitch.
I say this humbly --
I'm an international superstar who --
[ Laughter ]
[ Cheers and applause ]
Let's go, Bublé! No, no, I'm kidding.
Listen, I need to be honest with you.
And this is honest, everybody.
When I was a kid, I worked at Chuck E. Cheese,
and I dressed up as a rat.
[ Laughter ]
And so, if you don't choose me,
I just want you to know there are worse things
that have happened to me in my life.
[ Laughter ]
Felsmere, who do you pick as your coach?
[ Audience shouting ]
It seems like an obvious one, but you never know.
It's funny, no matter how many times this happens,
I get so...
You get nervous?
I'm gonna go with Gwen.
Ahhhh!
Nice, Gwen.
Gwen: Felsmere came Season 1 of "The Voice,"
and now she's back, Season 26,
and everything that she was trying,
she was, like, landing.
She was consistent, and her tone is just undeniable.
And I'm really excited to pick songs for her.
Wow. She's really good.
She is really good. Yeah. Way to go.
Felsmere: Gwen is a huge influence on me.
She's also a songwriter, and I'm a songwriter,
so I had to go with Gwen.
I like that everybody yelled, "Gwen!"
And then one guy went, "Mike."
[ Laughter ]
I was Chuck E. Cheese. It wasn't a lie.
[ Laughter ]
* This is "The Voice" *
Daly: Welcome back to the blind auditions.
Hey, baby. How you doing today?
I'm doing pretty good.
Put some in Reba's, over there, too.
Give her some. Thank you, baby.
Thank you, Snoop. You're the man.
Appreciate it. I'm sweet on you, Reba.
[ Laughter ]
Oh, not too many now. [ Laughs ]
I got to watch my girlish figure.
Man: Ladies and gentlemen,
our next artist is entering now.
Kamila: I can't believe that I'm about to perform
in front of these four amazing coaches.
I have been dreaming about this day for so long.
Hearing the button press would make me, like,
shiver in my boots.
Let's go.
**
Oh!
**
* Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell *
* Jimmy Rogers on the Victrola up high *
* Mama's dancing with baby on her shoulder *
* The sun is setting like molasses in the sky * Go, girl!
* The boy could sing, knew how to move everything *
* Always wanting more and *
* He'd leave you longing for *
* Black velvet and that little boy smile *
* Black velvet with that slow southern style *
* A new religion that'll bring you to your knees *
* Black velvet, if you please *
Whoo!
* Black velvet and that little boy smile *
* Black velvet with that slow southern style *
* A new religion that'll bring you to your knees *
* Black velvet, if you *
* If you *
* If you pleeeease *
Whoo!
[ Cheers and applause ]
Yes!
And there we go. Baby girl.
I need to know what your name is and where you from.
[ Laughs ]
My name is Kamila Kiehne.
I'm 17 years old... Wow!
...and I'm from Los Lunas, New Mexico.
Well, let me say this before I let them start talking.
I was the first person that locked eyes with you.
You were. Hello.
I'll let them talk. Go ahead, have your shot.
Do what y'all do.
Your voice -- And I pushed my --
I just smashed it.
Let me tell you, girlfriend. [ Laughter ]
You just sang Alannah Myles, a Canadian girl,
and you just killed it.
Thank you so much.
I'm trying to be cool,
but I started almost to do one of those, like that.
[ Laughter ]
You sound great. Thank you so much.
That's insane. Gwen: That was really beautiful.
Like, I know I missed out on something,
but just finding out that you're 17 was maybe the reason.
Like, I could hear something that didn't feel
like complete control of the song,
but I love your tone.
You got a three-chair turn, and that's pretty magical.
Thank you. Well, I love your voice.
I loved everything about it.
Tell us a little bit about yourself.
The very first time I performed in front of a crowd,
I was 9 years old at my church, singing a song I wrote.
It's called "Dang Devil." [ Laughter ]
Yeah, ever since then,
I've sang national anthems at sporting events.
But my favorite place on earth
is my church, and I do worship there,
and that's where I got basically all my experience.
I can tell you were singing from the heart.
You did a really good job,
and I'd love to have you on my team. Thank you.
You touched me when I heard the first note come out.
That's why I hit the button faster than Mike.
[ Laughter ]
And I also come from a church background,
so it's only fitting for you to find yourself
sliding this way and picking Coach Snoop
to help give you that fundamental direction
to get you to the pearly gates.
[ Laughter ]
Thank you so much. Thank you.
Kamila, I can't give you a better voice.
What I can do, is I can help you choose the songs
that'll take you up to the next echelon.
I love entertaining, and I can already see
that you have this light pouring out of you.
And I would love to help you become
the greatest that you can be.
So, I'd love you to join my team.
Thank you so much.
Alright, who do you choose as your coach?
[ Audience shouting ]
Snoop Dogg, Snoop Dogg, Snoop Dogg, Snoop Dogg, Snoop Dogg!
You guys are all amazing.
I love all of you, but...
...I'm going with Team Michael.
[ Cheers and applause ]
[ Laughs ] Let's go! Wow.
Good job, Mikey.
Way to go, Mikey!
I am so happy.
Whoo-hoo! Kamila, Kamila, Kamila!
She picked me.
* Yeah, I just haven't met you yet *
Kamila, get it up th-- Look at that.
Beautiful girl.
I heard maybe two notes,
and I started to reach for that button
as fast as I could.
I didn't want to say it 'cause I didn't want
to put pressure on her, but it really reminded me
of when I saw Kelly Clarkson the very first time.
Wow, what a voice.
I have gifts for all of you guys.
I made some cute little rings
and bolo ties for you two,
so let me go grab those real quick.
Thank you, baby.
After Mike develops you, I'll steal you. [ Laughter ]
Kamila gave me a bolo tie. My dad used to wear a bolo tie.
You got her! Michael: Thank you, guys.
I feel like you might have pressured her into that.
And thank you. Yeah, they did.
All them cheering and all, Bublé!
Michael Bublé!
Michael Bublé. He has the same spirit that I have.
He feels like one of my cousins or one of my uncles.
So, I am now Snoopy Bublé, his illegitimate brother.
[ Laughs ]
I thought she was gonna pick Reba.
Reba is really struggling today.
I actually feel bad for her, but I know her people will come.
I turned around fast.
Y'all were still putting your seatbelt on,
and I was turning around.
* This is "The Voice" *
Daly: Welcome back.
Tanner: It's 4:00 a.m.,
had to come out here on a service emergency.
Got a sewer station overflow
and go in the electrical panel and troubleshoot.
I'm Tanner Frick. I'm 26 years old.
I'm originally from Brandon, Mississippi,
but I currently live in Manchester, Tennessee.
I'm a full-time maintenance foreman.
My job is very dangerous,
a lot of high-voltage electricity.
It's a crazy environment.
I've been electrocuted [laughs] quite a bit.
My parents split up when I was too young to remember.
My mom was dealing with personal issues,
so my daddy raised me from here up.
He always instilled a good work ethic.
He has supported me through all my trials
and tribulations through life.
But music career?
My dad really wasn't much supportive of it.
You know, he wanted me to go make money and go to work.
Recently, though, his mindset has definitely changed
since I've been able to get out and do more
because with a day shift job, I have time to play at night.
My dad is my best friend. He's just one of a kind.
To see Tanner where he's at now,
pretty cool, 'cause I get to go on the ride.
[ Laughter ]
**
[ Groans ]
He's getting teared up. [ Chuckles ]
[ Exhales sharply ]
Kills me.
He gets to do what he loves to do.
I told you they'd -- I told you they'd get you, boy.
[ Laughs ]
They all look like they're living their dream. Yeah.
Looking for my boy Morgan.
For the blind audition, I'm singing
"Thought You Should Know" by Morgan Wallen.
I picked this song because it is very inspiring
that he started here, and now look at him.
He's one of the biggest country artists in the world.
If he can do it, anybody can do it.
I never thought I'd get on a plane
and leave the Mason-Dixon line.
[ Laughs ]
You just got to chase your dreams.
Man: Ladies and gentlemen,
our next artist is entering now.
The hand I've been dealt in life is not the greatest.
I'd love to stop doing physical labor
and do what I love.
Maybe I can make something out of myself.
**
* What's going on, Mama? *
* Somethin' just dawned on me *
* I ain't been home in some months *
* Been chasin' songs and women *
* Makin' some bad decisions *
* God knows I'm drinkin' too much *
* And I know you've been worrying 'bout me *
* You've been losing sleep since '93 *
* I thought you should know *
* That all those prayers you thought you wasted on me *
* Must've finally made their way on through *
Yeah, Snoop! Yeah!
* I thought you should know *
* I got me a new girl down in Jefferson City *
* And she lets me fish whenever I want to *
* Now I'm still proud of where I came from *
* Still your only damn son *
* Can you believe I'm on the radio? *
* Just thought you should know *
* Thought you should know *
* I'm still proud of where I came from *
* Still your only damn son *
* The bus is leavin', so I gotta roll *
* Just thought you *
* Thought you should know *
* I thought you should know *
[ Cheers and applause ]
Yeah! Whoo!
You just got a four-chair turn, buddy!
What's your name, and where are you from?
Tanner Frick. I'm originally from Mississippi.
Mississippi in the house! Okay.
Crooked letter, crooked letter.
'Sipp, 'Sipp, 'Sipp, 'Sipp.
Snoop!
My mama and daddy from Mississippi.
My grandma was from Mississippi.
My -- My, uh -- My family's from Canada.
[ Laughter ]
Howdy.
Eh? [ Laughter ]
Gwen, you have to tell them what chair turned first.
What chair did turn first?
I-I think it might have been... It was mine.
...Snoop Dogg. Was it?
And I was a close second, no? No.
When y'all still had your back turned,
I was into this.
That's crazy. But go ahead.
I was just about to say from the start,
you had just such a calm,
pretty way of just explaining the story of the song.
Where everybody got won over
is when you sang with your full voice,
your uniqueness came through.
Even though I knew that Reba was sitting right here,
and I knew that there was probably
no chance in the world --
Wait, are you saying you didn't think there was a chance
that he's gonna pick you 'cause of Reba?
You, the quintessential greatest singer
pop entertainer in the world? Yes! Yes!
But I'm a friend -- Oh, no.
I'm friends with Blake Shelton. Oh, no.
And I think when we talk about country music,
we know that means I know what I'm talking about.
[ Laughter ]
Dude, I love country. I love old country music.
If you look at my phone right now,
I will even give you my phone number.
We can talk about it. [ Laughter ]
You represent so many great parts of the greatest gift
that America might have ever given to the arts,
and so I want to be part of that.
Thank you so much.
My brother, Tanner, before you join my team,
tell me a little bit about yourself.
I usually play in, like, small town restaurants and bars
and horse barns.
I like that. That's equivalent to the hood.
You know what I'm saying? You doing hood shows.
Who are you listening to? Like, who are your heroes?
I like Hank Jr., Waylon Jennings.
Yeah, man. Reba, of course, the Queen.
Reba don't even have to talk.
She already know she got him on lock.
She just sit back like, "I'm not gonna say one word."
Tanner, I thought you sang really, really well.
I love that song.
When you did that Chris Stapleton growl,
that just added so much dimension to your voice.
I love Chris Stapleton. I got Chris's number, by the way, if you --
Yeah. Me and Chris got
the Monday Night Football theme song, by the way.
So, if you -- you know, if you pick Snoop Dogg,
I'm pretty sure I can walk him in here
and get a, you know -- a verse or two.
I love it. Congratulations being on "The Voice."
I'm really, really proud of you. Thank y'all so much.
Thank y'all. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Wait a minute. Yeah. You got to pick your --
You got to pick your coach. Yeah, y'all,
I'm just conversating with y'all, you know?
I want to fight more.
I don't want to fight you anymore, Gwen.
I'm tired of fighting you.
[ Laughter ]
I'm desperate for you.
I'm actually desperate for you. Wow.
Come on. I can call my husband.
[ Cheers and applause ]
God, he is your husband.
I forgot he's your husband. [ Laughter ]
That completely trumps my whole friend thing, you know?
I-I love Blake Shelton, too.
And I wonder was --
who wrote his first number-one hit, "Home."
Oh, shut up!
Oh, that's pulling the Blake card.
Who do you pick as your coach?
If it's not me, I'm going to be disappointed.
[ Audience shouting ]
I got to go with you, Reba.
* You and me belong together *
All hail the Queen.
Now, come on.
Reba: I finally got somebody and I'm thrilled.
Oh, my gosh, to win a four-chair.
Heck, yeah. That's a great feeling.
Now, I got you a little doll you can take home with you.
Tanner had a great style.
The gravel in his voice, it's sexy.
It's country.
The other coaches, they can try.
But I'm country, and Tanner's country,
so that just made perfect sense for him to go with me, right?
We'll have a great time.
Does this come as a massive surprise?
[ Laughing ] No.
He's one that got away from me.
I still don't have a country singer.
I would love to have a country singer,
but I kind of knew I didn't stand a chance against Reba.
Reba! Reba! Reba!
Snoop: Reba's the Queen. She's the GOAT.
She's the returning champ.
She's got that aura of royalty of,
"You better not tell me no."
You didn't even have to say nothing.
Your game just spoke for itself. [ Laughs ]
I love that.
Just sit back and just watch it unfold.
[ Laughter ]
* This is "The Voice" *
Daly: Welcome back to the blind auditions.
Man: Okay, folks. If you can take your places, please.
Where's Reba? I don't know.
Where's Reba?
[ Fanfare plays ]
**
* She said, "Fancy was my name" *
[ Laughing ] Oh, no.
* She said *
I told you!
The scepter! She got that stick. I told you.
* She said, "Fancy was my name" *
* She said *
Yes! What?!
Ladies. Ladies.
Thank you so much.
* ...hypocrites that call me bad *
* They criticize Mama for turning me out *
* No matter how little we had *
* But though I ain't had to worry about nothing *
* For nigh on 15 years *
* Well, I can still hear the desperation *
* In my poor mama's voice *
Did y'all like my entrance?
I came in befitting a queen.
Thank you, "Voice," for allowing me to be me.
We bow.
Michael: I wish I had rose petals.
I would have just started...
She is the Queen. Are you kidding me?
All hail the Queen!
Okay, Queen Reba, point seen.
But what you should have did was had the rookies carry you out.
Way to go, Queen!
Man: Okay, 90 seconds. 90 seconds out.
Iris: My name's Iris Herrera.
I'm 19, and I'm from Newaygo, Michigan.
It's super beautiful in Michigan today.
It's probably, like, 65 and sunny.
I'm kind of a typical 19-year-old.
I live with my mom.
I have two little siblings.
When I was 13, my parents separated.
As an older sibling,
I definitely took on the role of, like,
wanting to protect my little babies,
especially my little sister,
from, like, what was kind of going on in our house.
And as much as I like to sit here
and act like I need to be there for her,
I think she definitely holds me together, too,
in a lot of aspects and a lot of ways.
Hi, Iris, it's Lili and Manny.
We're live from your room, just thinking about you.
We're so proud of how far you've come,
and we love you and miss you.
Take a deep breath. You got this, babe.
I'm so proud to call you my sister.
I'm so proud of you.
Oh, it's so good.
Growing up, music was a way that I could freely express who I am.
Mom, I wouldn't be able to do anything
that I've done without you with me.
You're my best friend. You're my superwoman.
Like...incredible.
Man: Our next artist is entering now.
Iris: I hope that I can be authentically myself
and show the coaches that I am an artist.
I hope that I spread light and joy.
I'm proud of myself, no matter what the outcome.
I've got nothing to lose.
**
* So I'm back to the velvet underground *
* Back to the void *
Wow.
* That I love *
* To a room with some lace and paper flowers *
Wow. Sounds just like her.
She sounds just like her. I know. Beautiful.
* Back to the gypsy *
I want to hear her go up.
* That I was *
* To the gypsy *
* That I was *
* To the gypsy that remains *
* And if I was a child *
* And the child was enough *
* Enough for me to love *
* Enough to love *
* She is dancing * Wow.
* Away from me now *
* You see your gypsy *
* Oh, you see your gypsy *
* Oh *
* Ahhh *
So close!
[ Cheers and applause ] Oh.
Wow! Hello. Hi. How are you?
I want to know your name. I'm Iris Herrera.
I'm 19. I'm from Michigan.
I mean, you sound a lot like Stevie.
Like, in a great way. Thank you.
When you hit your really high notes
and those squeaks that you do,
you are on to something. Thank you.
I would recommend that you film yourself every single day
and watch it back and just hone in on your style,
because it's rare.
I think you should come back. You are amazing.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
I know Stevie. I've sang with Stevie...
Lucky. ...and no joke, I'm new to the show.
I'm a rook.
I was like, is this one of those punk things
they're gonna do... That crossed my mind, too.
...where we're gonna turn around
and Stevie Nicks is gonna be there,
and we're gonna go like, "Oh, my God!"
I'm going, man.
If I turn and I choose other songs for her,
is it gonna sound like Stevie singing those other songs?
And it's the reason I didn't turn. Okay.
I guarantee you come back, you sing another song,
it isn't Stevie, the chairs are gonna turn,
without a doubt. Thank you.
You take this information that we're giving you,
and you go back to the lab.
And when you come back, make us all turn around.
Yeah, thank you. Thank you, Iris.
For the Coach's Replay, I've yet to use mine,
but I do plan on using mine
when the right artist hits the stage
and they're right at the point of no return,
I want to bring them on in.
And that's what the replay is all about.
Replay it in your mind one more time,
make sure you make the right decision.
She's really talented. Snoop: Remember when we was 19?
We didn't know much. I didn't know anything.
I don't even remember being 19. I do.
I didn't know much of nothing.
[ Laughs ] Daly: Coming up...
* Oh, crazy * Oh!
* But it feels alright * Oh, a trio.
I was in a group growing up called The Bublettes.
[ Laughter ] You were not.
* Bum, bum, bum, Bublé, Bublé, Bublé, Bublé, Bublé, Bublé *
[ Laughter ] And later...
Four chairs!
I am a little confident. I did win last season. What?!
I'm just saying. I'm just gonna put on my fighting gloves.
Now that you've heard the rest, you can hear the best.
Nonetheless, you can be with the S
and have this laying on your chest.
Oh, my God.
* This is "The Voice" *
Daly: Welcome back to the blind auditions.
Hey, y'all, I'm Rowdy Shea.
I'm from the great state of Kentucky,
but I currently live in the great state of Texas.
* So keep digging deeper *
* Soon I'm gonna find myself *
I work on a ranch.
My boss runs a little cattle operation.
You think they're hungry?
Come on, girls.
There's about 85,000 acres.
where we gather about 500 head of horses.
Also, we have our own little arena
that we get to buck horses out in.
I'm proud to be able to say I am a cowboy.
I just got married,
a week before I came out for "The Voice."
Ready? [ Camera shutter clicks ]
In the cowboy culture, when someone gets married,
you usually gift them an animal.
[ Bleats ]
So, now we have Roger the goat.
Come on, Roger.
That's our first kid. [ Laughs ]
Rowdy took me to pick up a cow and a donkey
for our first date.
I learned how much he loved music in that car ride.
You can just tell that he feels it, and he loves it.
Growing up, I wanted to be a horse trainer.
That was all I wanted to do.
But being on the ranch, I was alone a lot.
So I kind of found music.
I didn't start singing until I was like 20 years old
and I would play at rodeos.
That was when I really was like,
this is something I see myself doing
for the rest of my life.
You only get this chance once.
Go kill it.
The music that I play really caters to the people in Texas,
but my goal is to be a touring artist.
You know, I've not been doing this very long,
but it's something that I put my mind to.
I'm rip-roaring ready to go.
**
* I've got a funny feeling *
* The moment that your lips touched mine *
* Something shot right through me *
That's pretty. I'm getting it.
[ Cheers and applause ]
* My heart skipped a beat in time *
* You shouldn't kiss me like this *
* Unless you mean it like that *
* 'Cause I'll just close my eyes *
* And I won't know where I'm at *
* We'll get lost on this dance floor *
* Spinnin' around *
* And around and around and around *
* They're all watching us now *
* They think we're falling in love *
* They'd never believe we're just friends *
* When you kiss me like this, I think you mean it like that *
* And if you do, baby, kiss me again *
* Kiss me again *
Hey, Michael!
[ Cheers and applause ]
Yee-hoo!
Yee-haw!
What's your name, and where are you from?
I'm Rowdy Shea. I'm 23 years old.
I currently live in Newcastle, Texas.
Wow.
Is that name taken from "Rowdy" Roddy Piper,
or is it just -- It's Rowdy Yates,
an old Clint Eastwood "Rawhide" TV show.
Yee-haw! Oh, yeah!
So I was named after Rowdy Yates.
I don't know if you knew it or not,
but my name used to be Snoop Eastwood
when I first came out,
so I'm right there with you, brother.
I have a Longhorn steer from around Austin, Texas,
and I named him Rowdy.
He must be a good steer. It is. He's beautiful.
He's just a 2-year-old,
weighs about 1,200 pounds already.
That's a big 'un, right there.
He's gonna be a big 'un. A big 'un.
Totally enjoyed your singing,
and as...
[ Laughter ]
Look how excited Snoop is.
[ Laughter ]
You're in the family now. That's the good part.
Later on in the competition,
I may have a chance to steal you,
and that's what I'm looking forward to.
Well, thank you very much. I appreciate that.
Hi, Rowdy. I wanted to get myself a cowboy, first of all.
I didn't know that it was gonna be, like,
a classic, like, perfect cowboy
when I turned around.
Your voice when you first came in
was so warm and smooth.
You had some great stage presence.
You're adorably cute,
and I'd love to help you here on Team Gwen.
Well, thank you very much. I appreciate it.
Is it country,
or do you think you can be more versatile and go a little pop?
For me, I would like to stay in the country realm. Great.
But country music's changing a ton... Sure is.
...and you've got to be able to adapt.
So, I would be open to working with you.
Country is having its time... Yeah.
...and it's always been great, but now you're starting to see,
even with Blake and the duet he's just done,
it's starting to really bridge into this place of pop.
I love country, and I love that kind of voice.
And I really do hope that you'll choose Team Michael.
Okay, Rowdy. Who do you choose as your coach?
There's one thing. I've been married for one week.
Wow. Oh, my gosh.
So, if you don't mind, I would love
for my wife to come up here.
That way we can pick together.
Yes, absolutely, Rowdy. [ Cheers and applause ]
Oh, my God, how cute!
Well, I got to tell you guys, a week married,
you have beat the L.A. average by four days already.
[ Laughter ]
Which one's gonna be your coach?
[ Audience shouting ]
I think I'm gonna have to go with Gwen.
Oh, my gosh!
Yes! Thank you!
I am so excited I got Rowdy.
Rowdy is a real, genuine, authentic country singer.
He sounds believable when he's singing.
It was exactly what I was looking for.
Thank you very much. Yes! Look how cute you guys are!
I am so grateful that Reba did not push.
You almost feel so defeated, even before you try
to fight for somebody that's country.
* Everybody at the bar gettin' tipsy *
Rightfully, 'cause she is the Queen.
Wow, this is gonna be fun.
I don't have anybody country on my team yet.
Michael: I'd love to think that Rowdy might have picked me,
but hey, you know, if anybody knows,
happy wife, happy life, it's me.
So, good job, Rowdy.
* This is "The Voice" *
Daly: Welcome back.
Are you ready?
Let's do your feet on the couch. Okay.
You're on your back. Oh. Okay.
You're on Gwen. Oh, gosh.
You guys are both on top of her.
Just put your head down here.
Smile.
My name is Jacob. My name is Jonathan.
My name is Kinsley.
Together: We are 323 from Tallahassee, Florida.
Sorry, I didn't say that. Yeah.
And we're 323 -- Oh, my gosh. Sorry.
And we're 323 from Tallahassee, Florida.
Thank you. Sorry I struggled with that one a little bit.
323 is the first three digits of the zip code for Tallahassee.
Jonathan: We all grew up in Tallahassee.
We all ended up singing at the same church.
One day I literally was like, guys, we should form a group.
We could sing at, like, restaurants, bars,
for us to kind of broaden our horizon.
Like, let's sing pop, let's sing country, let's sing some R&B.
And we never would have imagined in our wildest dreams
that a year later we'd be sitting here on "The Voice."
I feel like I'm on a movie set right now.
Kinsley: I know.
Jacob: Our personalities are interesting.
You know, I'm, like, the laid-back one.
And then they both are stressed a little bit.
You could call us high maintenance.
That's okay. High maintenance.
They're high maintenance.
Kinsley is very good at posting on social media a lot
when, you know, like we have a gig.
Jonathan's definitely the dad of the group.
He calls me last night.
And he's like, "I'm just worried about Jacob.
I haven't heard anything." I'm like, "He's okay."
I was playing charades.
Hey, Jacob.
I'm a property manager.
I work in student housing.
Jacob!
We hire college students
to sell apartments to college students.
So, that's why I hired Jacob.
I need you to work. We need to work.
We have things to do.
I'm his boss.
So, with gigging,
I think I see Jacob six days a week.
We're all in different stages of life.
Kinsley's married. I have a full-time career.
And for us, this is kind of like our last final shot
to really try and see if we can do this.
Three. Two. Three.
We'll be singing "(You Drive Me) Crazy" by Britney Spears.
We're kind of bringing something new to the table.
The typical trios, they stay in three parts,
pretty much the whole song.
We don't do that.
Okay. We're ready.
Kinsley: This is so much beyond local gigs.
Like, we could really take this to a career.
Come on.
We're ready to go. We're excited.
Let's go.
* Crazy *
* Baby, I'm so into you *
* You got that something *
* What can I do? * Let's go, Gwen.
* Baby, you spin me around *
* The earth is moving *
* But I can't feel the ground *
* Loving you means so much more *
* More than anything I ever felt before *
* You drive me crazy *
* I just can't sleep *
* I'm so excited *
* I'm in too deep *
* Whoa, crazy *
* But it feels alright *
* Baby, thinking of you keeps me up all night *
* Crazy *
* I just can't sleep *
* I'm so excited *
* I'm in too deep *
* Crazy *
* But it feels alright *
* Whoa *
* You drive me crazy * * You drive me *
* I just can't sleep *
* I'm so excited *
* I'm in too deep *
* Whoa, crazy * * You make me feel alright *
* Baby, thinking of you keeps me up all night *
Oh!
[ Cheers and applause ]
There's three! Alright!
Oh, my gosh, you guys.
Oh, a trio.
Who are you?
We are 323 from Tallahassee, Florida.
Gwen: Wow, cool.
I didn't press my button.
I -- Obviously,
but it sounds really, really beautiful.
At first I was like, oh, there's two.
And then I saw Reba be like --
I knew it was a trio
because I grew up in the Singing McEntires.
Yes. Yes, ma'am. Yes.
And when I heard the three voices,
I'm like, "Oh, my God, Becky, I love this."
And so, I turned around immediately.
So, are you brothers, sisters?
No, we're just friends.
I love the choreography that you had going.
Everything about it. And your harmony's tight.
I'd love for you to be on my team.
Not Michael's. My team.
[ Laughter ]
Well, I was in a group growing up called The Bublettes.
[ Laughter ] You were not.
I...well, maybe not. Maybe not.
[ Laughing ] The Bublettes.
I love harmonies, too.
Your vocal arrangements, your choral harmonies.
There's a beautiful sound
that you three human beings make together.
323, let's talk.
Oh, my God. [ Laughter ]
Are we not -- We're not allowed to do that?
Hold on, Mike, let me, before you get us in trouble --
Reba: Here comes Snoop.
Snoop: I love the harmony.
I love your spirit.
We love to see people come out here
and really enjoy what they doing.
I'm so glad I'm not in the mix.
I can just sit back and watch the show.
There you go.
Well, I'd love to have you on my team.
We'd have a blast.
I'd even like to sing a little bit with y'all, so...
Oh, wow. She just one-upped you, Mike.
I just can't help but think about The Bublettes
when I was young. [ Laughter ]
* Bum, bum, bum, Bublé, Bublé, Bublé, Bublé, Bublé, Bublé *
You're a mess.
Who do you choose as your coach?
[ Audience shouting ]
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
You guys are both amazing. This is crazy.
But we choose...
**
* This is "The Voice" *
Daly: Welcome back to the blind auditions.
323, who do you choose as your coach?
You guys are both amazing. This is crazy.
But we choose...
Together: Reba.
Yay!
[ Cheers and applause ]
Sorry, Michael.
Michael was all over the map.
What is with him?
I prayed for this! Oh, y'all were so good.
323?
Oh, my gosh. I was thrilled to death.
When I heard the harmonies at the very opening,
I thought, that's it. I want that.
And so, I was so thrilled they chose me.
**
I wanted a trio.
She is the Queen. All hail the Queen.
Reba: Bublettes? Really?
Bublettes. Bublettes?
I don't know. It just came to my mind.
Okay? [ Laughter ]
Bublé is one of the most creative, savviest,
cheatingest, dirtiest, lowdown, dirty dog
when it comes to trying to get somebody to join his team.
Lies. Deceit. Treachery.
Gonna come down, look at the rules, and say,
"Well, Mike, you have violated four times.
You are in the penalty box."
And I'll be waiting for that day.
* We are the Bublé, Bublé, Bublettes *
* The Bublettes *
My mom is gonna think I've lost my mind
when she sees this.
Man: Alright, places, please.
**
Gail: Yeah, she did some great, classic country.
She is a great singer. She's young. Yeah.
How old was she? 15?
Very young, I don't know. Very young.
Opposite side of the spectrum from moi.
Yeah. [ Laughter ]
My name is Gail Bliss.
I am 61 years young.
I am the oldest in the competition.
It's an honor.
I'm gonna wear that feather with pride.
I am a professional flight attendant.
I have been a flight attendant now for 39-plus years.
As much as I love to fly, I also love to sing.
I grew up singing with my dad and my sister
at home in southern Oregon, around my dad's Gretsch guitar,
and at 30 years old,
he had an opportunity of a lifetime
to be on RCA Records.
He said, "Nah, I'm raising two little kids in the country.
I think it's better for them that I stay here."
And then when I told him I wanted to be a musician,
he's like, "Are you sure about that?"
Yet when he was in one of my first audiences,
there was my dad sitting out there with a grin, ear to ear.
It made me so happy, made him happy.
He said, "You got what it takes. Just keep going, kid."
Gail has been pursuing music for at least close to 35 years now.
Gale is ambitious, she's creative, inspiring.
She's an amazing person.
In 1994, I was cast as Patsy Cline,
and I was touring in a theatrical show called
"A Closer Walk with Patsy Cline."
I was spunky, pure grit and determination.
I led that band just like Patsy Cline did.
I played that role for 30 years.
I set out when I turned 60 to really celebrate it.
I wanted to celebrate every decade of my existence
on planet Earth,
so I wanted to do six epic things.
I've completed five of my six epic things.
I'm living my sixth epic thing right now.
I'm here at "The Voice."
If I don't do this now,
when the heck am I gonna do it?
You know, why not?
My dad would tell me before I hit the stage,
he'd say, "You've got everything you need.
Go out there and give them hell."
**
Oh!
* Never woulda hitchhiked to Birmingham *
* If it hadn't been for love *
* I never woulda caught the train to Louisian' *
* If it hadn't been for love *
* Never woulda run through the blinding rain *
* Without one dollar to my name *
* If it hadn't been, if it hadn't been for love *
* Four cold walls against my will *
* At least I know he's lying still *
* Four cold walls against my will *
* Lord, have mercy on my soul *
* I never woulda gone to that side of town *
* If it hadn't been for love * Brought it up that whole step higher.
* Never woulda had a mind to track him down *
* If it hadn't been for love *
* Never woulda loaded up a 44 *
* Put myself behind a jailhouse door *
* If it hadn't been, if it hadn't been for love *
* If it hadn't been *
Damn!
* For love *
Oh!
Oh, I know it.
Oh!
I can't believe it.
Aaah!
Reba: Oh, man.
Hello. What's your name?
My name is Gail Bliss.
I'm 61 years old.
What?!
I am from Little River, South Carolina.
[ Sighs ] Gail, Gail, Gail. [ Laughs ]
It was such a beautiful performance.
I love the yodel.
Little nuances that you can do with your voice.
Your vibrato is stunning. Are you a professional singer?
I have been a professional for about 37 years.
Oh, my gosh!
I've sang everything from honky-tonks
and, uh, festivals and great big stages.
If nothing else,
I want to inspire the older folks to keep dreaming,
keep living, keep having fun.
That's where I'm coming from. Wow.
Gail, I'm so glad you came out on the show.
That is very important,
for people to dream big and go for it.
And I could just kick my butt for not turning. [ Laughter ]
Thank you, Reba.
I appreciate that. That means a lot.
The spirit of my mother is in me right now. Uh-oh.
My mother's sister's name was Gail,
which was one of my favorite aunties. Oh.
You couldn't see me, but I had my hand like this...
Oh, come on. ...the whole way.
Oh, man.
But they added a piece to the puzzle
this year called the Coach's Replay, right?
So, for example,
if I was to push this red button right now...
**
...you would be on my team.
Oh, my God! [ Cheers and applause ]
* I could show you what you want to see *
* And take you where you want to be *
Snoop saved the day!
* Even if the sky is falling down *
* I know that we'll be safe and sound *
**
* We're safe and sound *
Yes, girl. Yes.
My mother's spirit is all in you right now.
Let me put this around your neck. Yes.
* We're safe and sound *
I was going to push, but I didn't
because I was waiting on Reba.
I knew if Reba pushed, I would lose.
So, she didn't push, even though she sounded amazing.
I love to see those tears of joy.
She has stage presence.
And then she had a look about herself
that looked like she was a damn superstar.
What did your mother say to you when she spoke to you, Snoop?
What were you feeling in that moment?
"You need this woman on your team.
You need some wisdom."
Snoop might be the most unlikely choice for me,
but right now, he is my angel,
and I'm a sponge, and I am ready to go.
I got a chill in my body now.
Well, turn on them butt warmers.
[ Laughter ]
There you go.
I would love to build a team that's really diverse,
and has all different kinds of genres
and just all different kinds of personalities.
That's what I'm looking for.
* This is "The Voice" *
Daly: Welcome back to the blind auditions.
I think it's my mother's southern hospitality roots
and DNA in me that's connecting all of us.
Yeah, it is.
I agree. All of us is connected like that.
Our spirits. Yeah.
Beautiful. Thank y'all for having me.
Oh, thank you for saying yes.
[ Laughs ] Perfect.
Man: Alright, places, please.
Do a little shot, do a little unh.
Do a little of this, do a little of that.
My name is Austyns Stancil.
I'm 34 years old,
and I'm from East Oakland, California.
I'm a single dad. I am a girl dad.
I have three girls, and I have one on the way.
They motivate me. They inspire me.
We have family movie nights
where we do a gang full of snacks,
we do Saturday slushies, and we do Sunday Starbucks.
There's always something interesting to do,
but being a girl dad, it's definitely costly.
So I am a district manager for a discount store.
It's not easy at all.
There are sacrifices that I have to make,
but it works out because my family is a huge help.
Austyns is an incredible dad,
and there's not anything that he wouldn't do for them.
So, I have something for you.
Have a great time, Dad. We hope you win.
I love you.
Dad, I hope you make your dreams come true.
Aspyn: I miss you, Dad, and I hope you win the contest
and we get to be filthy rich.
Together: I love you, Daddy.
I love you, too.
Mwah! Mwah! Mwah! Mwah! Mwah! Mwah!
Those girls are my world, man.
I started singing in church in Paola, Kansas.
My mom was the director,
and she needed somebody to sing some solos.
I was 9 years old,
and I was hollering around the house,
so she said, "You're gonna sing."
My mom and dad were married for 36 years.
My dad showed me how to be a man and how to be a father.
**
I wish he was here to see me now.
I lost my dad September 6, 2023.
I had just had a conversation with him.
I took a nap, woke up abruptly,
and they said, "Something's wrong with your dad."
And I ran upstairs, and my dad was on the floor.
He was losing oxygen to his head,
and we performed CPR -- my brothers and I --
and we got him stable until the paramedics got there.
They got him to a breathing machine.
And, um, I was standing in the -- in the hospital,
and my brother and I, we put our hands on his chest
and told him that we have Mom, don't you worry.
And he took three more breaths, and he -- he left.
I know my dad would give me props right now,
because honestly, my whole life,
I've just been trying to make him proud.
Oh, man.
This opportunity is absolutely amazing.
I want to be able to be that example for my daughters.
So, I got to get a chair turn.
Come on, baby. Do it for your dad.
[ Cheers and applause ]
That's nice.
Aww, make 'em feel welcome.
**
Michael.
* I did you wrong *
* My heart went out to play *
* But in the game I lost you *
* What a price to pay *
* Ooh *
* I'm crying *
* Ooooh *
* Baby, baby *
* Oooh, baby, baby *
* 'Cause I feel *
* One day I'll hold you near *
* Whisper I still love you *
* Until that day is here *
* I'm crying *
* Oh * Come on, guys.
* Baby, baby *
* Ahhhhh *
Hey!
* Ooh, ooh *
* Baby, baby *
* Ahhhhhhhhhhhh *
All four. Yeah, he got all four.
**
Whoo! Looky there!
Four chairs!
What's your name, and where are you from?
My name is Austyns.
I'm 34 years old,
and I'm from Oakland, California.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Smokey Robinson.
What you know about Smokey Robinson?
Man, I know a lot about Smokey.
I mess with the old school, bro.
I see how you went falsetto on us one time.
You know what I'm saying?
It's my little secret weapon, man. I can dig that.
How long you been singing, like, you know,
old school records like that?
Since I was about 9 years old.
My mom used to play it on Saturday morning.
That was cleaning days. You know what I'm saying?
What really got me was that you were in your falsetto,
and then all of a sudden, you came down here.
[ Laughter ]
I'm excited to know what that voice can do
with a bunch of different genres of music.
I appreciate that, man. That's love right there.
Before you choose me...
[ Laughter ]
...how do you say your name?
Austyns, with a S on the end.
Austyns? Yeah.
I am a little confident.
I did win last season.
Gwen: What?! I'm just saying.
[ Cheers and applause ]
I'm just gonna put on my fighting gloves.
Hold on. [ Laughter ]
Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh.
You're so good in each part of your voice.
That made me turn.
It's technically great, but how do we find who you are?
And I think that's something that I could help you with
if you were on Team Gwen.
Hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey, hey. Okay? Cali girl.
Now that you've heard the rest, you can hear the best.
Nonetheless, you can be with the S
and have this laying on your chest.
Oh, my God.
Austyns, what if I told you
I would change my name to Team Michaels?
[ Laughter ]
We can talk about a guy,
sold hundreds of millions of records
and became an international icon.
Oh, wow. Austyns, Austyns, Austyns!
Why would you actually go with a newbie and a newbie?
I mean, nine years of experience right here.
This would look so damn fine on you.
Oh, that's fly. That's fly.
Reba: Okay, Austyns.
Who do you want to pick as your coach?
[ Audience shouting ]
Whoo! Oh, my gosh, man.
Come on, Austyns! Right here!
She's shameful.
Let me tell you, man, I love me some Snoop.
I go all the way back with you, Snoop,
but I'm gonna have to go with Gwen, man.
What?! Oh, my God! I'm so sorry, man.
What? Oh, my God!
* I don't wanna wait *
Way to go, Gwen!
Gwen: To win on a four-chair turn is another level.
I'm on fire.
I'm kind of on a winning streak, I think.
Wow. Thank you so much.
What?!
I love Austyns.
He has a beautiful, beautiful voice.
He's super skilled. Falsetto, chest.
He is one of the best singers so far that we've heard.
That was a shock.
Snoop: Gwen -- she's a constant professional.
That's my California homegirl, but no one understands.
There's a day where your artist won't be happy.
And then that's when I'll steal.
[ Laughs ]
Can I ask the producers if you would have let me
change my team name to Michaels?
[ Laughter ]
No? Okay.
Gwen: I thought he was gonna pick you
right when he was talking about how much he loved you.
He -- He lifted me right up and just drop me off, too.
[ Laughter ]
He made the right decision 'cause I-I was lying.
I wasn't gonna do any of those things.
[ Laughter ]
