(BRIEF RIFF OF 'MAN, I FEEL LIKE A WOMAN')
Yesss! Y'all gonna sing!
KEN JEONG: Welcome back to America's
favorite guessing game: I Can See Your VOICE!
KEN: Tonight you better grab your favorite hat and boots
as we hit the honky tonks
to celebrate some true music legends.
It's Country Night!
And here for the hoedown is special guest host Nick Cannon.
Going country!
KEN: Using your detective skills can you spot
who are good singers... (OPERATIC VOICE)
Bravo! ..and who are bad singers...
(MEWLING OFF-KEY) ..without ever hearing a note?
This is so hard!
KEN: And two-stepping alongside our contestant are
Cheryl Hines...
I like everything about him.
..Adrienne Bailon-Houghton...
Oooh, you're trying to fool me, girl!
..Finesse Mitchell...
I can do that. I can hit that note.
..and tonight's musical duo,
country superstars Maddie and Tae!
If they're really bad, it might be hard to sing with them,
but we're going to do our best! (LAUGHTER)
KEN: It all comes down to the life-changing
$100,000 decision.
NICK: Hailey, we need a decision.
(HOLLERING) Alright, I'm locking it in!
(BRIEF RIFF OF 'MAN, I FEEL LIKE A WOMAN')
(THEME TUNE)
(AUDIENCE CHEERS AND APPLAUDS)
I made it just in time!
'The Masked Singer' set is not as close as they told me it was.
I'm your host, Nick Cannon,
and I'm ready to play substitute teacher for my buddy
Ken Jeong, of course! Let's get this show started.
Welcome to America's favorite guessing game:
I Can...
(EVERYONE JOINS IN) ..See Your VOICE!
NICK: And tonight I Can See Your Voice is going country.
('MAN, I FEEL LIKE A WOMAN') CHERYL: Yeah!
NICK: And performing with our last secret voice
at the end of the show,
the incredible Maddie and Tae! (APPLAUSE)
NICK: You guys are used to duets, but this is gonna
turn into some type of trio.
I think a bad singer
is hard for good singers to sing with.
NICK: Hopefully they're good 'cos that means someone's
gonna win $100,000, right? MADDIE: We're going for good!
Let's meet tonight's contestant.
It's Hailey from Atlanta, Georgia.
(THEME TUNE)
NICK: Welcome, Hailey! Tell me a bit about yourself.
I am a Special Needs Ministry Director.
NICK: Wow. (APPLAUSE)
HAILEY: I get to work alongside special needs kids and adults
and just helping them guide their lives.
NICK: You're an angel, that's what it sounds like.
Everyone wants to know, what would you do with all that cash?
If I was able to win this money,
I would first start off doing things for myself
because in my job, I always put people before me.
And so I would love to get myself a house,
get a nice ranch home with a wraparound porch.
And then take myself to Bora Bora on a trip.
MADDIE: Alright! Yeah! (APPLAUSE)
Angels need self-love, too! MADDIE: Yes!
And I love you guys. MADDIE: Oh, that's awesome!
You were my favorite in college.
I was jumping on my dorm room bed singing
'Girl In A Country Song'.
I love you even more. TAE: Thank you.
Let's get this investigation underway
and reveal tonight's secret voices.
Number One. When this self-taught musician
is not welding cars, he is all country music,
racking up over 600,000 streams with his Spotify single.
Tonight, he is going to melt your heart.
It's Steelworker.
CHERYL: I like everything about him.
NICK: Number Two.
When he is not brightening the days of his students,
he is posting covers of country songs on his Facebook
and has even had one re-posted by his idol, Carrie Underwood.
It's Preschool Teacher.
MADDIE: Oh, that's so believable.
NICK: Number Three.
Currently majoring in songwriting
at Belmont University, it truly feels like
the sky is the limit when she is behind the mic.
It's High Jumper.
ADRIENNE: She's got a little spice in her.
NICK: Number Four.
She is at home in the courtroom and on the mic, having performed
in countless musicals, including 'Legally Blind'.
It's Attorney.
FINESSE: The Adele of law.
NICK: Number Five.
She is well on her way to combining her loves
of belly dancing and country music.
She was an opening act for 'Panic! At the Disco' in 2014
and since has performed at Nashville's Bluebird Cafe.
It's Belly Dancer.
TAE: Oh, yeah, girl.
NICK: Number Six.
Her day job involves miking up guests
at an Atlanta sports station,
but that's not all she can do with a microphone.
Her band was discovered by Jason Owen,
who also reps 'Little Big Town'.
It's Production Assistant.
CHERYL: This is a wild card for me.
NICK: Now, let's get a quick recap of the rules.
There are six secret voices up there on that stage,
but you'll never know how many are good singers
and how many are bad.
In the first five rounds, you will use clues,
logic and intuition to eliminate the bad singers.
If they're a good singer, everything you hear is true.
But if they're a bad singer, anything could be a lie.
(ALARM BLARES) NICK: For each correct guess
you earn $15,000.
Your goal is to eliminate all the bad singers,
so the last one standing is a good singer.
Because that secret voice will be dueting
with Maddie and Tae!
And if they're a good singer, you can win $100,000.
It's time for our first Lip Sync Showdown.
(DRAMATIC SOUND EFFECTS)
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
NICK: The secret voices will be performing two at a time,
battling it out,
and YOU get to choose which two voices you see.
But at the end of each round,
you'll have to eliminate one of them.
Remember, to win $15,000, and I'm going to do my best
Ken Jeong impression, "Bad is good...
(EVERYONE JOINS IN) ..and good is bad."
(LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE)
I want to see Preschool Teacher. (SOUND EFFECT)
I think he's a bad singer.
I think he's here for the cue, "Yeah, I did this for my kids!"
And I'm gonna go with the lovely Belly Dancer.
(SOUND EFFFECT)
People who like country music
don't go to 'Panic! At the Disco'.
So, I think she's a bad singer.
Let's see if she's got all that and a bag of chips!
(LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE)
NICK: Alright, it's Belly Dancer...
(SOUND EFFECT)
..and Preschool Teacher.

MADDIE: He's totally a real singer.
NICK: Panel?
Belly Dancer looks like a blond Kacey Musgraves
smashed up with Paris Hilton and Shakira's moves.
And the one thing they all have in common is that they can sing.
She is a good singer.
Belly Dancer is obviously a very good belly dancer.
And I think that is kinda used to distract us, like,
"Oh, she can't be a great belly dancer and be a good singer."
Which makes me think she's a good singer.
The Belly Dancer is a great performer.
(HOLLERING) But does God give you that many blessings?!
MADDIE: I mean he can, but dang, that ain't fair, y'know?
FINESSE: I dunno. I think she's a bad singer.
The Preschool Teacher,
he may not be the best dancer, but his vocal performance
looked like it matched. I think he's a good singer.
Don't get thrown off by the sweater.
I love your sweater, by the way, Preschool Teacher.
You can just tell that he loves music and hopefully
can sing really well. I think he's a good singer.
CHERYL: I'm worried that everybody's getting faked out.
He felt the music, he had the moves, he was spot on,
but maybe too many moves that he had rehearsed?
I'm going to say the Preschool Teacher is a bad singer.
NICK: Alright, it's time to make a decision.
(DRAMATIC SOUND EFFECTS)
HAILEY: Preschool Teacher -
I think his voice was on with the music.
I thought Belly Dancer was a little off.
I'm not convinced that she's a singer.
I am going to go with Belly Dancer.
I think that she's a bad singer
(HOLLERING) and I'm locking it in!
NICK: Now Belly Dancer?
(EVERYONE JOINS IN) Let's see your VOICE!
Oh, my gosh.

NICK: Wow. Tell us who you really are.
I am Ali Taylor Terradillos
and I am a country singer-songwriter
in Nashville, Tennessee.
And I am a belly dancer, as well.
She got the whole package.
What made you want to do our show?
I never really get to belly dance and sing at the same time.
Bravo!
NICK: Give it up for Belly Dancer.
MADDIE: Good job!
Well, Hailey, don't worry, even though you didn't win any money.
There's still a long way to go.
This is I Can See Your Voice: Country Night.
Let's get into it after this break.
This whole front row is saying wrong stuff.
It's influencing my answers!
Everybody knew that girl could sing!
(THEME TUNE)
Welcome back to I Can See Your Voice: Country Night.
NICK: Alright, Hailey, before the break you eliminated
Belly Dancer and made no money. HAILEY: That's right.
But, you still have four remaining secret voices left
to choose from, so remember,
your goal is to find as many bad singers as you can,
because if the last one standing is good,
you could win $100,000.
It's time for our second Lip Sync Showdown.
(DRAMATIC SOUND EFFECTS)
HAILEY: I'm going to go with High Jumper.
(SOUND EFFECT)
HAILEY: She said she went to Belmont University.
That's a very specific school, so I think she is a good singer.
And Steelworker. (SOUND EFFECT)
Steelworker is a wild card for me.
I'm not sure, but I think he's a bad singer.
TAE: Yeah. NICK: Let's check out
High Jumper... (SOUND EFFECT)
..and Steelworker.

No, Steelworker probably can sing,
if he sings songs like that!
'Cos I can sing the song like that.
No, you can't!
♪ Applebee's I can do that!
I think he's a bad singer.
I like his look.
I'm just going on looks alone.
You whispered that to me.
Steelworker has got it goin' on up there!
CHERYL: I think that's his voice.
That's what he does on Saturday night, he goes out to karaoke.
There's an ease to him. I think he's a good singer.
(APPLAUSE)
Loved the performance of Steelworker
and I was caught up like, "Yes! Applebee's!"
And then I thought to myself,
he might just be having a lot of fun and I think
that's what captured us.
I think the Steelworker is a bad singer.
(APPLAUSE)
And my gut instinct says that High Jumper
is a good singer.
I heard that there was a Southern twang...
Oh! ADRIENNE: ..and her mouth
matched the accent that I heard.
TAE: The voice that I heard, there was just a depth to it.
I feel like her movements were
a little more floaty, and airy and romantic
and it just didn't match the voice to me.
So, High Jumper might be a bad singer.
(APPLAUSE)
There was a couple movements I was questioning a little bit.
I do think that the High Jumper might be a bad singer.
NICK: Hailey, we need a decision.
(DRAMATIC SOUND EFFECTS)
HAILEY: So I'm still not sure about High Jumper,
but I am going to keep her.
I'm gonna say the Steelworker is a bad singer.
I think he's up there to throw us off.
NICK: Okay. HAILEY: I'm locking it in!
Oh, my gosh.
NICK: Now Steelworker, let's...
(EVERYONE JOINS IN) ..see your VOICE!
(DRAMATIC SOUND EFFECTS)
Well, he looks very confident.
MADDIE (WHISPERING): Oh, no. Please be bad.

That's a good singer.
I want to say I told you so. I'm dying to say it.
You should say it.
NICK: Steelworker, who are you really?
My name's Gary Wayne. I am a steelworker.
But I am in Nashville, I'm a songwriter-singer.
NICK: What made you want to do this show?
I came out here to showcase my voice and it was really special
to get to do this show 'cos I actually got to do it
with my girlfriend, Ali Taylor, the belly dancer.
(WILD CHEERING)
Whoa! (APPLAUSE)
HAILEY: That's so the power couple!
Wow! NICK: Amazing!
Give it up for the Steelworker one more time, everyone.
Okay, Hailey, you have eliminated two good singers
and no bad singers, but we still got a long way to go.
More I Can See Your Voice: Country Night
right after the break.
Finesse has me second-guessing myself.
I don't wanna play sitting next to you anymore.
(THEME TUNE)
Welcome back to I Can See Your Voice: Country Night.
(BRIEF RIFF OF 'MAN, I FEEL LIKE A WOMAN')
Now, Hailey, you've eliminated two good singers
and zero bad singers.
So you haven't earned any money yet.
We're bringing you home some money. We got you.
NICK: It's time for our third and final Lip Sync Showdown.

Let's see Production Assistant...

NICK: Alright, panel?
ADRIENNE: I thought the Attorney
looked like someone just having fun lip syncing.
So, I think she's a bad singer. (APPLAUSE)
They said she did musicals,
so I do get that vibe...
..BUT maybe she was doing too much?
TAE: Oh. CHERYL: So, I think
the Attorney is a bad singer.
There were runs--
I could believe it. So, I actually think
the Attorney is a good singer.
And then the Production Assistant -
it's like half of it feels believable,
then half of it doesn't, which would make her a bad singer?
I don't know!
Okay. There were moments
where her runs matched perfectly with what the vocal was doing.
I would say Production Assistant might be a good singer.
FINESSE: Okay, listen.
I've thought about it long and hard, trust me.
They're both good singers.
If I have to eliminate one, I'm going to eliminate the Attorney.
NICK: Hailey, it is time to make a decision.
(DRAMATIC SOUND EFFECTS)
HAILEY: Production Assistant -
the way she was holding the mic,
it looked like she knew what she was doing.
I think that she has a good voice.
Attorney?
(CLOCK TICKING)
I think maybe she was doing a little bit too much.
I think I'm gonna go with the Attorney
is the bad singer.
Alright, I'm locking in my answer!
Woo! (APPLAUSE)
NICK: Now, Attorney?
(EVERYONE JOINS IN) Let's see your VOICE!
(DRAMATIC SOUND EFFECTS)
Oh, Lord.
Okay, we need her to be really bad.

Alaina Richard. I'm really an attorney,
but I did grow up singing country music across the south,
and I do like to do musicals, and I just like to sing
when I'm not in court!
You need to do it all the time!
NICK: Give it up for the Attorney!
CHERYL: I knew it! MADDIE: Oh, Hailey, I'm sorry!
Hailey, three good singers! HAILEY: What is happening?!
That means you haven't made any money... yet.
HAILEY: Yet.
But we still got a long way to go,
and if the last one standing is a good singer,
you could win $100,000.
This is I Can See Your Voice.
FINESSE: I'm gonna go back to my original strategy.
Every time I lock my answer in, I'm going to switch it.
(THEME TUNE)
Welcome back to I Can See Your Voice: Country Night.
I am Nick Cannon, and that simple line
would have taken regular host, Ken Jeong, 16 takes!
(ALL CHUCKLING) Just sayin'! I love you, Ken!
Now, Hailey, we're three down and three to go
and you haven't earned any money yet,
but please remind us what you're playing for.
I am currently going through a divorce.
Just this week, I found out
that I am going to be living with my parents again
so I really just want to do this to prove to myself,
prove to my family that... (VOICE BREAKING)
..I can stand on my two feet,
and I did this by myself, so... NICK: Well, we believe in you.
We got to get some money. NICK: Now, it's time
for Unlock My Life.
And tonight, it's Story Of My Life.
We've conducted interviews with each secret voice
where they get to tell their whole story
but, Hailey, you'll only get to see one.
Their speaking voices have been digitally manipulated
because we don't want to make it that easy for you.
If it's a good singer, then their story will be 100% true,
but if it's a bad singer, then the video will contain lies.
(TENSE MUSIC)
I think the Preschool Teacher, he's up there to throw us off.
I think he is a good singer.
Still not sure about High Jumper -
she had very good stage presence coming out.
And Production Assistant is a wildcard for me...
MADDIE: Yeah.
so I'm hoping that we can see some more from her.
So I'm going to go with Production Assistant.
NICK: Let's play Unlock My Life: Story Of My Life.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS AND APPLAUDS)
I've been a production assistant for about nine years,
working at a station called WCIU
where we focus on middle and high school sports.
Fun fact: it was also the station
that premiered Soul Train back in the '70s...
..TV Reality, baby! TAE: I don't know! I don't know.
I'm from Troy, Alabama, where I had my first big break.
My sisters and I were in a group called Eighth Wonders
when we met Jason Owen who also manages Little Big Town,
and decided to manage us as well.
ADRIENNE: I don't believe it.
I've always loved country music
so after me and the group broke up, I put all my efforts
into going solo as a black female country singer.
CHERYL: I feel like she can do anything.
PRODUCTION ASSISTANT: I see people like Wendy Moten
and Mickey Guyton and how successful they've been
and know I can follow in their footsteps.
I have a YouTube channel where I promote my original music
and also my love for fashion.
MADDIE: She doesn't strike me as a production assistant.
PRODUCTION ASSISTANT: I'm about to release a track
in the next few weeks called Bless Your Heart,
and can't wait for you guys to hear it!
Let's check in with the panel.
ADRIENNE: If she was really in a group with her sisters,
why did we see no photos of her and her family singing together?
I think the Production Assistant is a bad singer.
She had two pictures of microphones, but
that could be a comedy thing. I think she's a bad singer.
The more I listen to the clues,
I'm just getting these vibes from her -
she feels confident holding a microphone,
so I think Production Assistant is a good singer.
(APPLAUSE)
Lots of specifics made me want to believe the story,
but I think I just got so caught up in those that I didn't even
look at the missing videos of her singing
with her so-called group. I would say she's a bad singer.
FINESSE: It kind of looks some of it was just like for fun,
be on social media or whatever. And 16 'likes' -
that's a very low count for people who can sing.
So, she is not a good singer. (APPLAUSE)
It's time to make a decision. (DRAMATIC SOUND EFFECTS)
Hey, I think I was able to see a lot from Production Assistant
based on that video.
To have 16 'likes' - famous or not famous -
if you're good, you're good.
Still not sure about the High Jumper and Preschool Teacher.
So... I think I'm going to eliminate...
..Production Assistant
'cos she's a bad singer! (APPLAUSE)
NICK: Okay, Production Assistant, let's...

You never toured with a band in Georgia, right?
As you can see, I can't sing! (ALL LAUGHING)
Give it up for Production Assistant!
ADRIENNE: So good! She was awesome.
Hailey, you just made your first $15,000.
I did! (YELLS IN DELIGHT)
NICK: Finally on the board. ADRIENNE: Yesss!
(BRIEF RIFF OF 'MAN, I FEEL LIKE A WOMAN')
This is I Can See Your Voice only on Fox.
(THEME TUNE)
Welcome back to I Can See Your Voice: Country Night.
Hailey, you have $15,000.
It's time for our final challenge: Interrogation.
(DRAMATIC SOUND EFFECTS)
NICK: You're about to get the opportunity
to grill either one of our remaining secret voices
and hear their unaltered voice for the very first time.
You'll get 30 seconds to ask them whatever you want,
but you have to eliminate one of them.
I want to interrogate the Preschool Teacher
because I remember his voice distinctly from the first round.
I remember it so vividly.
I would just love to prove it is his voice.
ADRIENNE: Smart. (APPLAUSE)
NICK: Alright, Hailey, your 30 seconds starts
in three, two, one.
Who is your favorite country artist?
Carly Pearce. HAILEY: Favorite country song?
'Don't Close Your Eyes' by Keith Whitley.
What is the best song you can sing?
'Something In The Water' by Carrie Underwood.
What song is hard to sing?
'My Church' by Maren Morris.
HAILEY: What would you name your next album?
Self-Titled. Don't get to know my name!
(AUDIENCE AND PANELISTS LAUGH) HAILEY: What is something
that you want to accomplish in your musical career?
TEACHER: To be the first Asian member of the Grand Ole Opry.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) MADDIE: Wow!
NICK: Alright, panel?
The very first time I heard this young man's lip-sync,
I thought he was a great singer -
the texture of his voice matches what we heard.
I think he's a good singer.
(APPLAUSE) MADDIE: The Grand Ole Opry,
we know, being in country music, that's a huge, huge honor,
so one of his goals being that - it felt authentic
so I think he is a good singer.
Alright.
TAE: Preschool Teacher's answers were perfect,
but when you said your favorite song to sing
was 'Something in the Water' by Carrie Underwood,
I remember previously there was a fact that Carrie had shared
one of the songs that you sang so, that checked out.
I think Preschool Teacher is a good singer.
Okay.
The Preschool Teacher is a huge fan of country music,
and maybe that's all it is.
We're seeing so much diversity in country music right now,
and I'm loving that so much that I want to believe!
ADRIENNE: I just don't know if he actually had the vocals.
I think he is a bad singer.
Okay.
He has such a deep knowledge of country music
and I do love that he wants to be the first Asian
inducted into the Grand Ole Opry,
which brought tears to my eyes. So, I think he's a good singer.
NICK: Hailey, it's time to make a decision.
(DRAMATIC SOUND EFFECTS)
HAILEY: Preschool Teacher - I really like
that he had specific answers. I'm all for big goals!
HAILEY: I think he's a good singer.
High Jumper - I just don't know anything about her
so I think that I'm going to eliminate High Jumper.
HAILEY: I think she's a bad singer.
I'm lockin' it in! (AUDIENCE CHEERS AND APPLAUDS)
Okay, that means Preschool Teacher
will be going through to the finale.
You are about to perform with none other than Maddie & Tae.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS AND APPLAUDS) NICK: High Jumper, let's...

I really am a high jumper. I can actually jump my height.
Wow!
NICK: So, what made you want to do this show?
I have several friends who are musicians,
including Dog Walker from Season 2, and I thought
this would be really fun to use for 'Two Truths and a Lie'.
Give it up for High Jumper. (APPLAUSE)
Hailey, you just eliminated a bad singer,
which means you now have a total of $30,000.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS AND APPLAUDS)
NICK: Well, we're down to our last secret voice,
and if that secret voice is a good singer,
you could be taking home $100,000.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS AND APPLAUDS)
You need to make the biggest decision of your life...
..right after the break.
This is I Can See Your Voice: Country Night.
(THEME TUNE)
He had great answers, but would a schoolteacher
be prepared for questions because he's a school teacher?
That'd be a lot to memorize. FINESSE: That'd be a lot!
(THEME TUNE)
Welcome back to I Can See Your Voice: Country Night.
Hailey, all game long,
you've been trying to find the bad singers
so that a good singer is left for the duet with Maddie & Tae.
(APPLAUSE)
NICK: So, for the first time in the game,
you're hoping Preschool Teacher is a good singer,
but here's the decision that you have to make.
(DRAMATIC SOUND EFFECTS)
Hailey, you can either walk away with your $30,000 guaranteed
or you can play on for one final round.
And if Preschool Teacher turns out to be a good singer,
your winnings will shoot up to $100,000.
NICK: However, if you get it wrong,
you'll go home with nothing.
NICK: Panel, what decision do you think Hailey should make?
I think $30,000 is a lot of money.
I like a lot of money, and if it's already yours,
that might be the blessin'.
I think Preschool Teacher was so good
that maybe he's too good to be true.
So, if I were you...
..I would walk away with $30,000.
I think you should go big or go home, girl.
MADDIE: When he got his microphone,
he did this "I'm ready to crush it."
I think he's a good singer, and I think you should go for it.
TAE: You're obviously in a season of life right now
where you're taking big risks in thinking of you first.
And I think you should take this risk.
He is a good singer.
ADRIENNE: In the last round, I couldn't really pinpoint
his talking voice to the voice I heard
during the Lip Sync Challenge, and that concerned me.
I would not gamble $30,000. I would feel like...
"I've got something that I can secure,
a place to live, a place to stay,"
and that would be my number one priority.
So I would take the money.
NICK: Alright, Hailey, do you want to risk it all?
(AUDIENCE SHOUTING INDISTINCT ADVICE)
It's been an emotional whirlwind the last couple of days,
the last couple of months.
HAILEY: Thirty thousand dollars is enough money
to put a down payment on a house.
TAE: Yeah. HAILEY: However...
I am a huge risk-taker!
I just am... I'm torn!
I just know where I'm at in my life,
and this is a lot of money.
HAILEY: So, with that...
..I'm walking away with $30,000 and that's my final answer!
(APPLAUSE)
CHERYL: Yeah! Woo!
TAE: Good for her. NICK: Well, Hailey,
you've won $30,000... (AUDIENCE CHEERING)
..but I'm sure you and America would love to find out
what would have happened if you had played on.
Maddie and Tae, please go and join Preschool Teacher
on the Stage of Truth for the grand duet finale.
So, Hailey, have you made the right decision
to quit while you were ahead?
If Preschool Teacher is a good singer,
you would've taken home $100,000 but if he is a bad singer,
then you made the right choice because your money is safe.
NICK: Now, please put your hands together
for Maddie & Tae and Preschool Teacher!
(APPLAUSE)

Oh my God, I love him! NICK: Hailey!
You would have won $100,000!
NICK: But you played it safe
and at least you're taking home $30,000.
(CHEERING)
Preschool Teacher, who are you?
My name is Tyler Kohrs, and I am a Preschool Teacher.
What made you want to do this show?
So, being Asian in country music,
you get told there's no lane for you, and coming on here
means everything 'cos music's all I wanna do.
CHERYL: Yes! ADRIENNE: Yes!
NICK: Well, there is definitely a lane for you.
ADRIENNE: That's right. NICK: Y'all give it up for
the Preschool Teacher! HAILEY: Woo!
NICK: And thank you to Hailey, all of our secret voices,
the panel - Cheryl Hines, Adrienne Bailon-Houghton,
my man Finesse Mitchell, and of course Maddie & Tae!
Thank you for watching. I'm Nick Cannon and
this was I Can See Your Voice: Country Night. Goodnight!
