00:00:07All right, we're excited.
00:00:08We got The Voice Battle of Champions, three coaches.
00:00:11This is going to be an awesome season.
00:00:13Stay tuned with The Voice.
00:00:15Play audition.
00:00:16Can we do the show now?
00:00:17It's going to be the best one of the day.
00:00:19Watch this.
00:00:20It's night two of The Blinds, and the artists will lay it all on the line to fight for a
00:00:25spot in the Battle of Champions.
00:00:27Up, up, up, it's our moment.
00:00:30You know, together we glowing.
00:00:31Gonna be, gonna be golden.
00:00:33Oh, I'm done hiding.
00:00:37Now I'm shining like I'm born to be.
00:00:42And our coaches are ready to fill up their rosters and add to their triple turn tally.
00:00:47Let's go!
00:00:49I haven't won a triple turn yet, but my time is coming.
00:00:52I'm calling my shot.
00:00:53I'm going to win the next triple turn.
00:00:55You got my word on it.
00:00:59I feel like I might be running laps around these little boys over here.
00:01:02Three coaches, all goats.
00:01:04We're all fighting to fill up our teams, and I'm absolutely crushing it.
00:01:08Woo!
00:01:11Do you want to win the triple chair competition?
00:01:14Does that mean anything to you, getting that advantage?
00:01:15I mean, I like getting an advantage in any game.
00:01:17Don't you want a super steal?
00:01:19Yes.
00:01:19Yeah.
00:01:20Who wouldn't want that?
00:01:21It sounds like a power, you know what I mean?
00:01:23Yeah.
00:01:24Yeah.
00:01:26Have a good turn with her.
00:01:28I will.
00:01:38What's up, guys?
00:01:39It's an early morning here in Tennessee today, but I wanted to bring y'all along with me on
00:01:43my bread route.
00:01:44My name's J.W. Griffin.
00:01:45I'm 25 years old, and I deliver bread.
00:01:49I go around and deliver to different grocery stores.
00:01:53The bread company, the first time they let him go out by himself, he backs out into the
00:01:57trailer hitch of a big truck and knocks out the back window.
00:02:02And then he said they started calling him Crash.
00:02:04I thought I was toast.
00:02:05I don't know where y'all are going with that one.
00:02:07The van survived.
00:02:08I still drive that van to this day.
00:02:11At the end of the day, delivering the dough is a good way to make some dough.
00:02:15I mean, I like all of them.
00:02:17I think they're all good.
00:02:18I don't think you can go wrong.
00:02:20I hope they all three turn around and get a three-chair turn.
00:02:23We're going for all three.
00:02:24I am so proud of you, and I've been a fan since the beginning, and I love you so much.
00:02:31I love you, too.
00:02:33You are my favorite nephew, and I have more than one, so that's okay for me to say.
00:02:40For my blind audition, I'm singing Long-Haired Country Boy by the Charlie Daniels Band.
00:02:45This song really resonates with me because it's a spirit I want to bring into my own songwriting.
00:02:51I just love older country because it had such a distinct sound.
00:02:55There's no country coaches this season, but they're all pretty iconic, and they've all won the show before.
00:03:02I'd love for all three of them to turn around.
00:03:04I have a ton to learn, and I don't want to go home before I get the chance to do
00:03:08that.
00:03:09My passion isn't delivering bread.
00:03:11It's making music.
00:03:16I'm really proud to be here.
00:03:17I know a lot of people want to be in the same spot as I am, and I don't take
00:03:22that for granted
00:03:22because I'm about to perform in front of some of the biggest artists in the whole world.
00:03:29There we go.
00:03:29Okay, here we go.
00:03:31Get excited.
00:03:35Get excited.
00:03:40We say I ain't no good, and I'm crazy as a man.
00:03:47Cause I get stoned in the morning, and I'm controlling my head.
00:03:52Yeah!
00:03:53I'm kind of like my old blue-tailed house, and I've been laying around in the shade.
00:04:00Well, I ain't got no fun, no, but that man shouldn't have got to be made.
00:04:06Cause I ain't asking nobody for nothing, if I can't get it all on my own.
00:04:18Well, if you don't like the way I'm living, you just live as long as the country boy long.
00:04:29Well, if a poor girl wants to marry, and a rich girl wants to flirt, the rich man goes to
00:04:38college, and the poor man goes to work.
00:04:41Well, if you don't like the way I'm living, you just live as long as the country boy long.
00:05:05Leave this long hair, cause your boy's alone.
00:05:18Three cheers!
00:05:20Oh, this is so heartbreaking.
00:05:22Triple turn, baby!
00:05:23My heart is already broken.
00:05:25Triple turn!
00:05:26Oh, man.
00:05:28What's your name?
00:05:29My name's J.W. Griffin, I'm 25 years old, and I'm from Ultra, Georgia.
00:05:35Let me tell you something, man.
00:05:37This is gonna be so heartbreaking when I don't win, but, uh, ugh.
00:05:41Don't pay attention to that reverse psychology.
00:05:44It's not even reverse psychology, it's just reality at this point for me.
00:05:47I always lose country.
00:05:48I hope so.
00:05:48But I will tell you this.
00:05:50You have one of my favorite voices I've ever heard on this show.
00:05:52It's special, it's unique, it's soulful.
00:05:55Your timing, your pocket.
00:05:57I want to own your record.
00:05:58I want to be a fan.
00:05:59I just instantly got it, and I think that we could break a lot of heads together, so.
00:06:04Thank you so much.
00:06:05I really appreciate that.
00:06:06I'm so excited that I turned first, if you remember.
00:06:11Ah, you did.
00:06:12You are such a great storyteller within the first few moments of the song, and then you showed me your
00:06:19range,
00:06:19and I say me, because don't pay attention to the others.
00:06:23Oh.
00:06:23I don't know if you know this, but I have been on country radio, and I really am so happy
00:06:30Blake Shelton isn't here right now.
00:06:34Think about this, Blake and I, we learned so much from each other, we became super tight, and look, we
00:06:40come from different places.
00:06:41And that was explosive.
00:06:43Me and country artist equals large amounts of everybody loving us.
00:06:47Oh.
00:06:47Oh.
00:06:49That's how you interpret your rivalry with Blake Shelton.
00:06:53That's very interesting.
00:06:55JW, I would like to hear a little bit more about you.
00:06:58Currently, I try to ride every single day.
00:07:00It's not full-time.
00:07:01I do bread deliveries in the morning.
00:07:03Oh, do you got sourdough?
00:07:05Yeah, they do make sourdough.
00:07:07That's my favorite.
00:07:08Yeah, it's great.
00:07:09Your tone sounded so comfortable and easy.
00:07:13It just felt like you were having a conversation with us, and I was like, this guy is born to
00:07:18be on The Voice, born to sing.
00:07:20I would love to coach you, not because I'm some expert in country music, though I have been on country
00:07:25radio as well.
00:07:26I even have a CMT award.
00:07:28Oh, whatever.
00:07:28Yes, believe it or not.
00:07:29Is that with Carrie?
00:07:30Is that the Christmas song?
00:07:31With Carrie Underwood, yes.
00:07:32Yes, with Carrie Underwood.
00:07:33That's a good song.
00:07:33Yes, I believe I can coach artists from any genre.
00:07:36I've taken a country artist to the finale on this show.
00:07:40I would love to do that with you, JW.
00:07:42I just want to say one more thing.
00:07:42Thank you so much.
00:07:44I do think that I've won with country artists, and they have not.
00:07:50So pick me.
00:07:52If you pick me, you're going to have a co-coach in Blake Shelton because he's going to love you.
00:07:56Damn it.
00:07:56I'm going to pester him on a daily basis.
00:08:00I have Blake's number two.
00:08:01We text all the time.
00:08:03Yes, but don't believe this one-on-one relationship.
00:08:07The Adam and Blake thing.
00:08:07I am not calling Blake for help.
00:08:10Blake knows I've got this.
00:08:12He knows I've got this.
00:08:14J-Dub.
00:08:15May I call you J-Dub?
00:08:16Yeah, most people do.
00:08:18Oh.
00:08:19Well then, it's fate.
00:08:20Who do you pick as your coach?
00:08:22Wow.
00:08:23Come on.
00:08:25Please.
00:08:27It's a tough choice.
00:08:48Welcome back to The Voice, Battle of Champions.
00:08:52J-Dub, who do you pick as your coach?
00:08:55Oh.
00:08:56Come on.
00:08:58Please.
00:09:02What do you think?
00:09:03Kelly?
00:09:04Does it pick Kelly?
00:09:05It's a tough choice.
00:09:13I think I'm going to have to go with Kelly.
00:09:15What did he say?
00:09:17Oh, I couldn't hear you.
00:09:18Hi, Maria.
00:09:20Thank you, Shane.
00:09:22I'm so happy with JW.
00:09:25He's on my team.
00:09:26I love him so much.
00:09:27His voice is the epitome of what I love in a male country singer.
00:09:32And just the kind of the sound that I grew up on.
00:09:34Sir, you like football?
00:09:36I do.
00:09:37I do, too.
00:09:37Tied with Kelly for the triple turn competition.
00:09:40I'm not happy about it.
00:09:43She's back, everybody.
00:09:45She's back.
00:09:45I really want a country artist this season.
00:09:47Kelly is a very, very tough competitor.
00:09:49And I love that.
00:09:51It's a good challenge.
00:09:52That was a really good pitch.
00:09:53I had to go and have hope.
00:09:54I thought for a second that was going to win.
00:09:56He did a good job.
00:09:57Yeah, that was a great pitch.
00:09:59You should use that again.
00:10:00I've never pressed my button for a country singer.
00:10:02No, I did.
00:10:03I was so happy.
00:10:04I'm so mad.
00:10:07Here's our triple take.
00:10:08Kelly just secured another big win.
00:10:10She's doing a full court press, and now it's tied with Adam at two triple turns each.
00:10:14There's a reason why she has the most banners on the stage.
00:10:17She's a pro.
00:10:17But on the other hand, John keeps tossing up bricks.
00:10:20He needs to step it up if he wants that super still advantage.
00:10:22He's a legend.
00:10:23I know he a legend, but I'm just telling you what I know.
00:10:25The guy's an EGOT winner.
00:10:26I wouldn't count him out yet.
00:10:27It's still early in the competition, and anything is possible.
00:10:30We're going to have to chop it up after this.
00:10:35Scott and Nyland, I mean.
00:10:37You got to have the look.
00:10:39You got to have the watch.
00:10:40You got to have that little sass.
00:10:41Pass the sauce.
00:10:43What are you doing?
00:10:44Get over here.
00:10:45Help out.
00:10:46Are you kidding me?
00:10:49My name's Nicolai Capua.
00:10:51I'm 23 years old, and I'm from Staten Island, New York.
00:10:53Our family parties are absolutely insane.
00:10:59You can't even hear yourself think, because everyone's talking over each other.
00:11:05My preferred genre is straight up pop.
00:11:09I love performing pop since I was little.
00:11:11So, I will be singing You Broke Me First by Tate McVray for my blind audition.
00:11:19I'm literally shaking.
00:11:22I'm moments away from walking on that stage.
00:11:26I've been dreaming of this since I was a little girl, and I can't believe I'm finally here.
00:11:31You got this.
00:11:33You got this.
00:11:34Those heels?
00:11:36Maybe.
00:11:37Maybe.
00:11:38Maybe.
00:11:41Maybe.
00:11:41Maybe.
00:11:48Maybe you're only talking too much about yourself, but you should have told me that you were thinking about someone
00:11:55else.
00:11:56You're drunk at a party, or maybe you should see your car broke down.
00:12:00Your phone's been off for a couple months, you're calling me now.
00:12:03I know you, you're like this.
00:12:07When things don't go your way, you needed me to fix it.
00:12:12And like me, I did.
00:12:15But I ran out of every reason.
00:12:18Now suddenly you're asking for it back.
00:12:22Could you tell me where you get the nerve?
00:12:25Yeah, you can say you miss all that we have, but I don't really care how bad it hurts when
00:12:33you broke me first.
00:12:37You broke me first.
00:12:52Broke me first.
00:12:57Broke me first.
00:13:12Man, you are a gifted singer. What's your name?
00:13:14My name's Nicolette Capua. I'm 23 years old, and I'm from Staten Island, New York.
00:13:20Your voice is really powerful. You've got really cool tones down here when you were in the beginning of the
00:13:26song,
00:13:26and then towards the end, it got a little away with you at the pitch, but once you landed on
00:13:30it,
00:13:31it was so full and open and beautiful. You are a very talented singer.
00:13:35Thank you so much. I appreciate that. Thank you.
00:13:38It's a major task, that song, and it starts super wordy and only gets more challenging as it goes.
00:13:44That's a really tough vocal, honestly.
00:13:45So I think that just kind of rationing a little bit and holding on to enough breath so you can
00:13:50really kind of belt it
00:13:51when it opens up and crescendos towards the end.
00:13:53I think all those things worked against you a little bit, but that doesn't mean that if you don't keep
00:13:57at it,
00:13:58you can't come back here and have some success. So thank you for coming.
00:14:01Thank you guys so much. I really appreciate it.
00:14:03Thank you. Thank you for coming.
00:14:08I liked her look. Her look was really cute.
00:14:13Staten Island. She sounds like she's in Staten Island.
00:14:15I know. I love her accent. I know.
00:14:17I love that accent.
00:14:18Me too.
00:14:18With Nicolette, I just felt like in those big notes, it got a little pitchy and I feel like she's
00:14:23probably better than what she did today.
00:14:25Like, we all have days like that.
00:14:26So at this point, I would love to get someone that's like sold for R&B.
00:14:29I want to fill up with different genres.
00:14:31Coming up.
00:14:35The artist turned it up.
00:14:41And the coaches throw down.
00:14:43Let me tell you who turned first.
00:14:45I like a second.
00:14:46She's team legend.
00:14:48Over team Kelly.
00:14:49Everything you said, I would not do.
00:14:50I hate when mom and dad fight.
00:14:52In the race for the most triple turns.
00:14:54Go ahead, John.
00:14:55You know I love you, Kelly Clarkson.
00:14:57Girl is mine.
00:14:58Watch him pick Adam.
00:15:06Welcome back to the Blind Auditions.
00:15:17It would be so me to win the Battle of Champions.
00:15:20I feel like I've got focus.
00:15:23Hey man, I'm tired.
00:15:27Move it or lose it, sister.
00:15:31We really genuinely love and respect each other.
00:15:36Hey, Kelly.
00:15:37What are you doing?
00:15:40I'm sorry.
00:15:43Day two blinds and I'm feeling great.
00:15:47Never mind.
00:15:49My name is Tia Durant.
00:15:51I am, oh, my, not my name, is, oh, I am from, oh, what is happening?
00:16:03I'm Tia Durant.
00:16:04I'm 32 years old from Sumpter, South Carolina.
00:16:08This is my hometown, Sumpter, South Carolina.
00:16:11I'm in downtown Sumpter.
00:16:20I'm just a small town girl with big dreams, trying to change them into a reality.
00:16:27Right out of high school, I went into the banking world.
00:16:31I was just there to deposit checks.
00:16:33I took a lot of money in, accounted money.
00:16:37But when you wake up in the morning and all you think about is singing, then you're a singer.
00:16:41And I remember being at the bank where I'm like, you know, this is amazing and I get to help
00:16:47people,
00:16:48but it's not in the way that I want to help people.
00:16:50So one day I decided to quit.
00:16:54I quit.
00:16:57It was a huge risk.
00:16:59But look at me, I'm here.
00:17:00It's definitely paying off.
00:17:03This opportunity means more to me than I have words to describe.
00:17:10I know that the voice is going to push me towards my dreams even further.
00:17:21Oh, L.A.
00:17:24All right.
00:17:27Oh, too much for the man.
00:17:31He couldn't make it, so he's leaving the life.
00:17:36He's come to know.
00:17:43He said he's going back to find
00:17:47Who was loved of this world
00:17:52The world he left behind
00:17:55Not so long ago
00:18:02He's leaving, leaving
00:18:05Oh, that midnight train
00:18:12He said he's going back to find
00:18:16A simpler place in time
00:18:21Oh, yes, he is
00:18:22And I love you with him
00:18:27Oh, that train
00:18:35I love you with him
00:18:37I love you with him
00:18:39And I got to go
00:18:43I got to go
00:18:44I got to go
00:18:48It's a train
00:18:50It's a train
00:19:06What is your name and where are you from?
00:19:08My name is Tia Durant
00:19:09And I am from Sumter, South Carolina
00:19:11All right
00:19:13My only issue was I was a little concerned about the beginning
00:19:16But when you started belting, it was glorious
00:19:18It was magical
00:19:20I'm excited for you
00:19:21Welcome to The Voice
00:19:24The whole point of the show
00:19:26From the first day of the first season
00:19:27The whole point is to celebrate great voices
00:19:30All that matters
00:19:32Is appreciating really amazing voices
00:19:34And Tia, that's what I was listening to
00:19:36So I'm here for it
00:19:38Kelly's here for it
00:19:39John
00:19:40Perhaps an error in judgment
00:19:41Maybe another moment or two
00:19:42I think another five seconds
00:19:45And he's in
00:19:46I can do it again
00:19:48I can do it again
00:19:50We don't need to do it
00:19:51We don't need you
00:19:53It's my fault
00:19:54Please do not do that
00:19:55I do not want him in the game
00:19:56The man had his chance and he blew it
00:20:00I would love you on my team
00:20:01I don't have anybody on my team
00:20:03That sounds like you
00:20:03Which I love
00:20:04Because I like having a variety of music
00:20:06And I love everything
00:20:07I think the only thing I've never covered
00:20:09Is like hard metal on my show
00:20:11Like I just
00:20:12Which you might, you should do
00:20:13Which maybe I shall
00:20:14You could
00:20:15We can do it
00:20:16You feature me
00:20:17Feature me
00:20:18I think as hard as I've gone as Metallica
00:20:19But like I do think song selection is going to be key
00:20:22In this kind of environment
00:20:23Picking songs that really showcase a different side of you
00:20:25That allow people to get to know you more as an artist
00:20:28Yes, thank you
00:20:31I mean, I love you
00:20:33Thank you, Adam
00:20:34I think you're amazing
00:20:35And she said a lot of good stuff
00:20:37So I would love to work with you
00:20:39I really would
00:20:39The purity of it is why I turned
00:20:41And that's why I love you
00:20:43All right
00:20:44Well, Tia
00:20:46Who do you pick as your coach?
00:20:48Come on, Tia
00:20:55Come on, Tia
00:20:56So
00:21:00At my heart, I'm going to go with Team Kelly
00:21:03Yes!
00:21:05Yes!
00:21:08Oh my gosh
00:21:09I love your voice
00:21:12Oh man
00:21:13I've been waiting for someone
00:21:14That I can hand any song
00:21:15Any genre
00:21:16And then be able to crush it
00:21:18Just soulfully
00:21:19Oh yeah
00:21:20With a little buzzer
00:21:22And that is Tia
00:21:23What an addition to Team Kelly
00:21:25Congratulations!
00:21:27She's dope
00:21:28She's good
00:21:28Yeah, she can sing
00:21:29Adam is one of the OG coaches of The Voice
00:21:31That's already hard enough to go up against
00:21:33Also, he's incredibly cool
00:21:35Which I'm total nerd
00:21:36So that's hard
00:21:37Yeah, that's what I'm talking about
00:21:39But it's worth it
00:21:40Once you win
00:21:41Tia
00:21:41Good
00:21:42She was really good
00:21:43My team is really looking good, y'all
00:21:45It's going to be the team to beat, I think
00:21:48Nobody likes me
00:21:49All right, Kendra, you ready?
00:21:50I am ready
00:21:52What song are you singing out there?
00:21:53I am singing Girl Crush
00:21:54Oh my gosh
00:21:54Yeah
00:21:55Oh, how are you feeling?
00:21:56I'm ready to crush Girl Crush
00:21:58You're going to do a good job
00:21:59Have fun
00:21:59Thank you so much
00:22:10Welcome back to The Blind Auditions
00:22:15Thank you
00:22:16Thank you
00:22:17Thank you for being a friend
00:22:21Oh, and back again
00:22:23The heart is true
00:22:26You're a pal and a confidant
00:22:29I like that one
00:22:32And if it threw a party
00:22:36Anybody, everyone you knew
00:22:41You would see them
00:22:43And the card attached would say
00:22:48Thank you for being a friend
00:22:56I have cleaned some really awesome people's teeth
00:23:02I'll see you next time, girl
00:23:04I kind of live a double life
00:23:07I am a dental hygienist
00:23:08By day
00:23:09And a country singer-songwriter by night
00:23:12I'm Kendra Remedios
00:23:13I'm 31 years old
00:23:15And I'm from Arlington, Texas
00:23:16I do love being a dental hygienist
00:23:18But I intended to move to Nashville
00:23:21To pursue my music career
00:23:22In 2019
00:23:24After I graduated dental hygiene school
00:23:26And I got a call
00:23:28Breaking the news
00:23:29Saying that my dad
00:23:31Suffered from a massive brain aneurysm
00:23:35I grew up a tomboy
00:23:37And that's why I'm a daddy's girl
00:23:39And that's why I'm a daddy's girl
00:23:40My dad was my number one fan
00:23:43He was just the rock in my life
00:23:45And I'm thinking of you
00:23:48I'm thinking of you
00:23:51Oh, dad would be so proud
00:23:53He'd be cheering you on
00:23:56And crying at the same time
00:23:58For sure
00:23:59I know he would
00:24:04I know there's only three coaches this year
00:24:06But I know my dad's the hidden fourth coach
00:24:10Because I hear my dad in my head all the time
00:24:13He has the best seat in the house
00:24:18Having those chairs turn around
00:24:20Would be such a pivotal moment
00:24:22To my dreams coming true
00:24:29Let's go
00:24:33I got a girl crush
00:24:37I hate to admit it
00:24:41But
00:24:41I got a heart rush
00:24:46It ain't slowing down
00:24:48I gotta breathe back
00:24:54I want everything she needs
00:24:56Oh, yes!
00:24:58That smile in that midnight
00:25:00She's giving me now
00:25:04I want to taste her lips
00:25:10Yeah, cause they taste like you
00:25:14I want to drown myself
00:25:18In a bottle of her perfume
00:25:22I want her long gone hair
00:25:26I want her magic touch
00:25:30Yeah, cause baby
00:25:33You want me just as much
00:25:38I got a girl crush
00:25:46I got a girl crush
00:25:49I hate to admit it
00:25:54But
00:25:56I got a heart rush
00:26:00And it ain't slowing down
00:26:07Yay!
00:26:11Well, she needs one
00:26:17Yay!
00:26:20What is your name?
00:26:21I'm Kendra Remedios
00:26:22I'm 31 years old
00:26:24And I'm from Arlington, Texas
00:26:25Oh!
00:26:28Oh!
00:26:30As I know
00:26:31Right in your backyard
00:26:32Damn
00:26:33Yeah, that's a great song
00:26:34Thank you
00:26:35Great vocal, you know
00:26:36I'm just gonna be honest with you
00:26:37I did think there was
00:26:38Some stuff with pitch
00:26:39That for me
00:26:40It was holding me back
00:26:41A little bit
00:26:41That doesn't mean
00:26:42That you don't have a great voice
00:26:43Cause you do
00:26:44And
00:26:45My opinion is irrelevant
00:26:46Because
00:26:47John Legend is your coach
00:26:48Yeah!
00:26:51Woohoo!
00:26:51Thank you, Adam
00:26:52I'm so bummed
00:26:54Kendra, I'm sorry
00:26:55I love the song
00:26:56And I even loved your tone
00:26:57I thought it was really cool
00:26:58But my team is filling up
00:26:59So I'm kind of being like
00:27:00Uh
00:27:00And I have some country singers
00:27:02I obviously know that song
00:27:03I love Little Big Town so much
00:27:05But it is not because
00:27:06You are not gifted
00:27:06I'm so happy you're on the show
00:27:08Thank you
00:27:08Thank you so much
00:27:09I love to see a Texas girl shine
00:27:13I was just like
00:27:14I couldn't resist
00:27:15I heard that voice just crackling the way it does
00:27:19And I love the crackle
00:27:20I love that Texas grit, you know
00:27:22Yeah
00:27:23Something about it
00:27:24And it was
00:27:25Don't piss us off
00:27:26Yeah
00:27:27I love that I was hearing country
00:27:30I was hearing rock
00:27:31I was hearing soul
00:27:32I was hearing blues
00:27:33And I figured they would turn two
00:27:35And they would fight with me for you
00:27:37But I'm lucky I have you all to myself
00:27:40Kendra
00:27:40Congratulations
00:27:41Welcome to Team Legend
00:27:43Me too
00:27:45Team Legend is always full of great singers
00:27:48Kendra's got that raspy, gravelly voice
00:27:51Singing country music
00:27:52I love it, I love it
00:27:55I got two country artists
00:27:56Now they will run chair turns
00:27:57But I have a feeling
00:27:58They're going to sneak up
00:27:59And surprise some people
00:28:02Team Legend is looking supreme
00:28:07But I'm looking for
00:28:09My first ever triple turn
00:28:11And I'm ready to win
00:28:12This battle of champions
00:28:13I'm going to get my triple turn
00:28:16Who would you draft on your team?
00:28:18Get the voice official app now
00:28:20And play along
00:28:21With our champion coaches
00:28:31Welcome back to The Voice
00:28:34Come on, let's go, bro
00:28:36Just give me one
00:28:39The fact that it's a blind audition
00:28:41You know, it's kind of nerve-wracking
00:28:43The only thing that I have to depend on
00:28:45Is my voice
00:28:47I'm ready to make this stage my home
00:28:49And show them that I truly belong here
00:28:54I'm Mike Steele
00:28:55I'm 28 years old
00:28:56And I'm from Tukwala, Mississippi
00:28:58I always wanted to pursue my music career
00:29:00And be a singer
00:29:01But I just knew that
00:29:02I needed a backup plan
00:29:04And now I'm in my senior year
00:29:05About to get ready to graduate college
00:29:07I can honestly say that was one of the best decisions
00:29:10I could have made for me and my children
00:29:11Say hi!
00:29:13Hey, dadda!
00:29:14Coming from that small town area
00:29:15With no opportunities
00:29:17I know that I have to be the best role model
00:29:19For my children
00:29:20Because I didn't have the best role models coming up
00:29:22It's a lot that I have to go through life
00:29:24Learning on my own
00:29:25And I just want them to know
00:29:26That no matter what
00:29:27Coming from small areas
00:29:28It doesn't define
00:29:29Who you are
00:29:30As a person
00:29:31Which team do you think I should pick
00:29:33Team Legend
00:29:34Team Kelly
00:29:34Or Team Adam
00:29:36Campbell
00:29:36Team Kelly
00:29:37Okay
00:29:39I know that I'm here for a reason
00:29:41And this opportunity could be life-changing
00:29:43Alright, let's go, Mike
00:29:45I'm doing it for my family
00:29:47And I just want to make them proud
00:30:00We've been done
00:30:01Long before it all begun
00:30:04Still can't give it up
00:30:10But I just, I just don't want to leave you
00:30:14Might just, might just go away the reasons why
00:30:17We both can't play
00:30:20In secret, secret
00:30:24Both gotta keep it
00:30:25Honest, honest
00:30:27That's just a game we know
00:30:29We both can't play
00:30:33For tonight I'm your boy
00:30:38So deny the truth
00:30:43Or stay behind closed doors
00:30:50All I want to do is hide with you
00:30:56Yeah
00:30:57For tonight I'm yours
00:31:02So deny the truth
00:31:07Or stay behind closed doors
00:31:14All I want to do is hide with you
00:31:19Even though it's wrong, I'll lie with you
00:31:29Triple turn
00:31:30Give me an iPad
00:31:33Triple turn baby
00:31:39Yeah
00:31:40Yeah
00:31:41Wow
00:31:42Yeah
00:31:44Tell me your name and where you're from
00:31:46Man I'm Mike still
00:31:47I'm 28 years old
00:31:48And I'm from Tukwiler, Mississippi
00:31:49From the Mississippi Delta
00:31:51From Mississippi?
00:31:53I don't feel like you're talking voice matches or singing voice
00:31:55Yeah, I get that a lot actually
00:31:56What?
00:31:57Tell me about what you're doing in Mississippi
00:32:00Well I make music on the side
00:32:01But I went back to school to, you know, better my life for my children, so
00:32:04What are you studying?
00:32:06Music
00:32:06Okay
00:32:07Do you want to teach music as well?
00:32:10Well, I was a teacher assistant before I went back to school, so
00:32:13Uh-huh
00:32:13Yes, I do
00:32:15Amazing
00:32:15I felt like you made so many cool choices
00:32:18And your tone is really interesting and it has like richness and depth
00:32:22I'm curious what other artists you like to cover
00:32:26Well, I'm an R&B soul singer, so I like Tank, I like Gibeon, Tyrese, Jodeci, you know
00:32:32Yeah
00:32:33It's kind of like leaning like a little like 90s, 2000s too
00:32:37Most definitely
00:32:37And I feel like that's coming back right now
00:32:39Most definitely
00:32:39And you're young, so you didn't even really experience it when it was happening
00:32:42Right, right
00:32:43We're old, we did
00:32:44Yeah
00:32:45We were all like, oh, this is a couple skate
00:32:49Exactly
00:32:49You don't even know what a skating rink is probably
00:32:51I do, I do
00:32:53Okay
00:32:53Let me tell you Mike, we turned for you because we loved your voice
00:32:56Thank you
00:32:57That rich baritone is rare, you know, I'm a baritone myself
00:33:00And I would love to have you on Team Legend
00:33:03I feel like we could have a lot of fun working together
00:33:05Thank you
00:33:05Thank you
00:33:06Hey Mike
00:33:07What's good?
00:33:08First of all, the suit is fresh
00:33:09I appreciate it, man
00:33:10I appreciate it
00:33:11I literally wore a suit like that on the voice
00:33:13Oh, y'all have so much in common
00:33:15We have so much in common
00:33:17We like the same suits
00:33:20Here's the thing about your voice that I love so much
00:33:22It's that deep, rich voice I wish I had
00:33:24But, as strong and robust as your tone is
00:33:28In the upper register, I think there's even room for you to grow more
00:33:32And that's my world
00:33:33I live in the high register
00:33:34And especially in the transition into those falsettos that were really, really sweet
00:33:38And in a weird way, maybe I'm crazy, but I heard a little bit of me and John in the
00:33:43same voice
00:33:43Because when he was up high, it was high
00:33:45It didn't feel like you were
00:33:46It feels like you've got to do anything
00:33:48So, I just wanted to be a part of it
00:33:50So, that's why I'm here
00:33:51I don't have that suit
00:33:53But, uh, I can borrow yours
00:33:55Oh, for sure, for sure
00:33:57I grew up on all that music you just mentioned, too
00:34:00But, I think that would be a more predictable path to actually cover those artists
00:34:04Sure
00:34:04I think it would be really cool
00:34:06Like, I don't even know if you like this artist
00:34:08But, like, I heard you singing Hello by Adele
00:34:11Oh, wow
00:34:11Or even, like, Sam Smith
00:34:12It's so interesting she brought up doing other dramas
00:34:15Because what you're trying to do here is win fans
00:34:18And so, it is cool to do a cover here and there that's kind of outside of that
00:34:23But, also, establish your identity as an artist
00:34:25So, people know what kind of album they're going to expect from you
00:34:28Okay, I'm going to be honest with you
00:34:30That was good
00:34:31That was good
00:34:32I know, but we are so different
00:34:34So, everything you said I would not do
00:34:36So, don't choose me if that's what you like
00:34:38Like, no, because here's why
00:34:40It's because I went on a competition and sang Aretha Franklin almost every week
00:34:44And then I made a pop rock album
00:34:46This is the time I think that you should stretch yourself a bit
00:34:50But he's doing it on national TV
00:34:52This is his moment
00:34:52I think so too
00:34:53I think you should
00:34:53This is his moment to tell people who he is
00:34:55I hate when mom and dad fight
00:34:56No
00:34:58I just think this is the moment that you are able to stretch and do things
00:35:03Yes
00:35:03So, I don't think you should pick me if that's the route you want to go
00:35:07Because I am totally going to push you to pick things that maybe are outside the box
00:35:12Don't you start doing that
00:35:13I'm in the chair
00:35:14I can't help it
00:35:14He's doing the Blake
00:35:15He's doing the Blake finger
00:35:18You don't want that
00:35:20We've won this show, all of us have
00:35:22So, you're not going to go wrong either way
00:35:24Some of us have more banners than others
00:35:25Yeah
00:35:25But it's okay
00:35:27Fine
00:35:27Hey man, I'm a lot of fun too
00:35:29I'm just saying
00:35:30I think
00:35:31I'm a cool, I'm a chill dude
00:35:32I just want to hang out
00:35:33I think you just gotta follow your gut as to where the best place is for you to go
00:35:37All right, Mike, it's on you now
00:35:40Are we not going to fight anymore?
00:35:41We're not going to fight anymore
00:35:42You know I love you, Kelly Clarkson
00:35:44It's a mess, it's a mess over there
00:35:46Watch him pick Adam
00:35:49Who do you pick as your coach, Mike?
00:35:51Okay, okay, um...
00:35:55Come on home!
00:35:56Come on home, Mike
00:36:26Come on home, Mike
00:36:29I'm going with Team Legend
00:36:31Yeah
00:36:34Finally, my first triple-triple-triple-triple-triple-triple-triple-triple-triple-triple-triple
00:36:37Mike, what a wonderful singer to be my first triple-triple-triple-triple-triple-triple-triple-triple-triple-triple-triple
00:36:43-triple-triple-triple-triple-triple-triple-triple-triple-triple-triple-triple-triple-triple-triple-triple-triple-triple-triple-triple-triple
00:36:53-triple-triple-triple-triple-triple-triple-triple-triple-triple-triple-triple-triple-triple-triple-triple-triple-triple-triple-triple-triple
00:37:00-triple-triple-t
00:37:06He's locked in and done it for that Supersteer finally John so happy for you man proud of you. Okay.
00:37:12I'm catching up, baby
00:37:15Adams got a lot of love from the fans and the triple tires, but not from the country artists
00:37:20I thought you said you had a country album coming
00:37:22Well, I'd say you do
00:37:26No, you scared me
00:37:28Blake Shelton has ruined me. We got to turn that around
00:37:31I always think that this is the season where it's gonna turn around though, and it just isn't
00:37:36Can we get a slow-mo and Kelly's reaction on my head?
00:37:40Look at that
00:37:42Passion champion. That's what I'm talking about right there. She's not making this easy for Adam
00:37:50Oh my god, I can't believe this is happening
00:37:53I can't believe I'm here. Is this this real somebody pinched me?
00:37:57My name is Bijou Belle and I live in Rapid City, South Dakota
00:38:01The voice means so much to me
00:38:03I've grown up watching it with my family
00:38:05As long as we're together
00:38:07I know we can do anything
00:38:10We all play music
00:38:11I am in a band with my siblings called the Rathco
00:38:14We play a lot of festivals, street dances
00:38:17We even played at my school
00:38:19It's a lot, a lot of fun
00:38:21I'm never gonna let you fall
00:38:24This is definitely the first time I'm kind of fully stepping out without my family
00:38:27It's gonna be scary, but I'm ready for it
00:38:30And it's been what I've been waiting for my whole entire life
00:38:40Things fall apart
00:38:43And time breaks your heart
00:38:46I wasn't good, but I know
00:38:53She was your girl
00:38:56You showed her the world
00:38:59We fell out of love
00:39:02And you both let go
00:39:06I know that you love me
00:39:09Don't need to remind me
00:39:12Put it all behind me
00:39:15Put it all behind me
00:39:17But baby, I see her
00:39:20In the back of my mind
00:39:24All the time
00:39:30Like a feather
00:39:33Like a feather
00:39:35Like I'm burning a wire
00:39:37Like a sign
00:39:45Did I call this love?
00:39:53Did you see her?
00:39:57In the back of your mind
00:40:02In my eyes
00:40:05In the back of your mind
00:40:13Join in one, right?
00:40:14Yeah!
00:40:16Oh!
00:40:17Oh!
00:40:18Oh!
00:40:22Hi!
00:40:23What's your name?
00:40:24Hi, I am Bijou Belle
00:40:26I'm 17 years old
00:40:27And I'm from Rapid City, South Dakota
00:40:29Oh, wow!
00:40:30Oh my god, 17!
00:40:33Wow, you're so young
00:40:34I love that song
00:40:35I did like that you had a little bit more power with it
00:40:38Because it was cool to do something different than Billie does
00:40:40Thank you
00:40:40But there were just parts that were pitchy here and there
00:40:43And it was also because the push and pull
00:40:45Of where you were going to the soft places that Billie goes
00:40:47Yeah
00:40:47And you were going a little bit more
00:40:48Like I started at 19 in a scene competition
00:40:50And I'm so different
00:40:51You have just so much room to grow
00:40:53That's what's cool about your voice
00:40:54It's still developing
00:40:55So that's exciting
00:40:56Thank you
00:40:57I'm star at intern
00:40:58There you are again
00:40:59So welcome to the show
00:41:01Bijou
00:41:02Hey John
00:41:03Congratulations
00:41:03You're on Team Adam
00:41:06Yeah
00:41:07For better or worse
00:41:08Now when you were envisioning yourself on the show
00:41:11Were you envisioning Team Adam for yourself?
00:41:13Or probably somebody a much better coach
00:41:14You don't have to answer that question
00:41:15He's been on the show since forever
00:41:17Yeah
00:41:18So I mean of course I would love to be on Team Adam
00:41:20Yeah
00:41:21You are
00:41:22Hi
00:41:23Hi
00:41:23I'm your coach
00:41:24Too bad you can't choose anybody else
00:41:26Just me
00:41:27It started off really strong
00:41:29And it did kind of a little bit lose course with pitch
00:41:31But finding out that you're young and all of that
00:41:34It's like when I was 17 I was pitchy
00:41:37It's part of the discovery of your voice and how to control it
00:41:39All of these things are so natural
00:41:41Listen when people come on the show and they're 15
00:41:43And they sing better than I ever sang in my entire life
00:41:45I'm like you're weird
00:41:47You have to have room to grow
00:41:48And I think that what's really great about your voice
00:41:50Is when you started singing
00:41:52You really captured my attention with your tone
00:41:54And it sounded really really beautiful
00:41:55Thank you
00:41:56Welcome to Team Adam
00:41:57You're on my team
00:41:57Thank you so much
00:42:00Bijou is 17 years old
00:42:01And I heard a quality in her voice that I really liked
00:42:04Let's go get you a jersey
00:42:05I think that she's really really got something going on
00:42:07I have a great team already
00:42:11She's cool
00:42:12Yeah
00:42:12Good vibe
00:42:13Good vibes
00:42:19I've been watching The Voice since it came on
00:42:24It is one of the biggest stages
00:42:26One of the biggest platforms
00:42:29My name is Jali Boyd
00:42:31I am 25 years old
00:42:33And I'm from Maryland
00:42:35Three coaches is very crazy
00:42:38More pressure
00:42:39But I'm going to do great
00:42:41I'm excited
00:42:43Confident
00:42:43But like kind of nervous
00:42:48I'm a singing cleaner
00:42:49I clean houses during the week
00:42:52And then I'm gigging on the weekends
00:42:56Nobody wants to clean somebody else's toilet
00:42:58It would mean everything to trade
00:43:00The mop for the mic
00:43:07Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air
00:43:10Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air
00:43:12If I should die before I wake
00:43:15It's cause you took my breath away
00:43:18Losing you is like living in a world with no air
00:43:23Oh, I'm here alone, they want to leave
00:43:27My heart will move
00:43:29My heart will move
00:43:29It's incomplete
00:43:30Wish there was a way
00:43:32That I could make you understand
00:43:36But how do you expect me
00:43:40To live alone with just me
00:43:43Cause my world revolves around you
00:43:46It's so hard for me to breathe
00:43:49Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air
00:43:52Can't live, can't breathe with no air
00:43:55How I feel whenever you ain't there
00:43:58No air, no air
00:44:01Got me out here in the water so deep
00:44:04Tell me how you gon' breathe without me
00:44:07If you ain't here I just can't breathe
00:44:10There's no air, no air
00:44:25There's no air, no air
00:44:26Out here in the water so deep
00:44:29How you gon' breathe without me
00:44:31If you ain't here I just can't breathe
00:44:34There's no air, no air
00:44:39Oh
00:44:51Hello, what is your name and where are you from? My name is Jolly
00:44:55I'm 25 years old and I currently live in Baltimore, Maryland. You have two fantastic coaches who want to fight
00:45:02over you right now
00:45:03How does it feel? I don't know. I almost forgot my name. So
00:45:08I think you're a really special singer and I'm so excited for you to be here. Jolly
00:45:16Golly Jolly golly Jolly
00:45:18I'm happy you made the joke before I did
00:45:21It's amazing what you can do what I truly felt while I was listening to this performance
00:45:24I was like this is just the very beginning as amazing as it was
00:45:27I still felt like there was more and the last little run that you did at the very very end
00:45:32I was upset because I thought it was gonna make John finally turn around
00:45:35I was right there. I was like, oh
00:45:37I could feel it
00:45:39I could feel him being like ah
00:45:40But I still think there's so much more that whoever gets to coach you is gonna get to uncover and
00:45:44that makes you
00:45:46Potentially just like one of the most exciting people that we've heard you blew my mind wide open like
00:45:54Thank you
00:45:55When I turned around I loved what I saw you weren't even focused on us you were performing to the
00:46:01crowd
00:46:01I didn't even hear the tears turn. Well, since you didn't let me tell you who turned first
00:46:07About like a second and a half. Well, that would be me. I
00:46:11Loved your voice. I love Jordan. I love that song. It's a funny song cuz it's ironic. There's nowhere to
00:46:15breathe
00:46:17But it's just there isn't how are you supposed to breathe with no I know I'm just saying
00:46:21The fun thing to do for you on this competition is really just picking songs
00:46:26I'm curious to ask you like what are you listening to I listen to a lot of Brandy
00:46:31Brandy and Monica and the girl is mine tour the boy is my I was gonna the girl is mine.
00:46:36You just changed that song
00:46:38The girl is mine. That was the version you did
00:46:42No, I love
00:46:44I don't know you're mine this thing. I love you more
00:46:55I would love to dive into whatever artists you're into I am gonna be the coach that challenges you
00:47:00That's why I turn by the way my team is filling up. I'm almost full. I'm not gonna lie
00:47:04I have a great team a lot of female powerhouse vocalists on team Kelly. We need you over here on
00:47:08my team. I'm just saying
00:47:11I'm just saying I grew up in sports man. You want to run against the fastest runner
00:47:15You don't want to run against somebody, you know, you're gonna beat that's not gonna make you better
00:47:18I don't know what that means, but it sounded good. You've got a decision to make. Who do you pick
00:47:22as your coach?
00:47:34Come home jolly
00:47:36Come home
00:47:39I'm gonna go
00:47:44Team Adam
00:47:47Jolly had a great voice. She just has this great presence and she's a great singer and I love her
00:47:50personality
00:47:52Just got someone great on my team team Adams feeling strong
00:47:56I feel like I can do it. I feel like this is a good year for me
00:48:01It's so tough against Adam. I don't think I've ever fought so hard on this show
00:48:07We're gonna do great things. I have a bar now, you know
00:48:09I know all the people on my team and if if I don't feel like people are at least get
00:48:12a matchup or be better
00:48:13It's like at this point. I'm kind of waiting for something special
00:48:19Cool, man, let's get some people on the team
00:48:29Welcome back to the blind auditions at Universal Studios Hollywood
00:48:34We can dance still my favorite is I'm wide awake
00:48:38Oh, I like that one. I like that one, too
00:48:45Hi guys, we just landed in california
00:48:48Fort the boys
00:48:50I just got to my hotel room
00:48:52I'm so awake
00:48:57My name is Blair Elbert. I'm 28 years old and I am from Lubbock, Texas
00:49:02When I was five years old, I started singing and I got put into a vocal group called the cactus
00:49:08cuties
00:49:09Traveling the world get a performance some incredible places for about ten years
00:49:17Once we got older we decided to go our separate ways, but that didn't stop me from pursuing music
00:49:24It was definitely a transition moving from being in a group to a solo artist been releasing music songwriting
00:49:32Performing still definitely still living the dream and I truly cannot see myself doing anything else
00:49:39Hoping for at least one chair turn who knows three would be amazing
00:49:42I'm a little bit nervous, but it's good nerves
00:49:46The stage is where I feel comfortable. So I'm just so freaking excited to be here
00:49:58I wanna ride a ride in yoda while I'm riding on those wild rolling planes
00:50:05I wanna ride, ride with the cowboy beside me on those wild rolling planes
00:50:12Let the world go by the sunny sky where it never ever rains
00:50:19Let the world go by the sunny sky where it never ever rains
00:50:19Settle down, down in some little cow town on those wild rolling planes
00:50:26I wanna ride, ride in yoda while I'm riding on those wild rolling planes
00:50:33I wanna ride, ride, ride in yoda while I'm riding on those wild rolling planes
00:50:40Gonna make some haze, got no time to waste, gonna catch that westbound train
00:50:47Where I will ride, ride in yoda while I'm riding on those wild rolling planes
00:50:54Adiyaya Adiyalo
00:50:55Oh, where do you love, where do you love Ooty?
00:50:58Yo, Ooty...
00:51:01Hayla, oh!
00:51:02Oh, yeah.
00:51:39Oh my, hello!
00:51:42Hi guys, my name is Blair Elbert,
00:51:45I'm 28 years old and I'm from Lubbock, Texas.
00:51:48Yeah, this is meant to be!
00:51:51I did not turn, there was a lot going on,
00:51:54there was a lot happening, Blair.
00:51:56It was hard for me to keep up, honestly.
00:51:58So I was like, let me not try to touch this,
00:52:00let me leave this to Kelly,
00:52:01she'll probably figure it out.
00:52:03One thing I didn't mention was how cool
00:52:06your raspy part of your voice is.
00:52:08I felt like it was unexpected,
00:52:10and if I were going to venture in,
00:52:12that would have been the reason why,
00:52:13it was just like, oh, this sounds extra cool,
00:52:16and combining that with the yodeling,
00:52:18you're just super interesting as a vocalist.
00:52:20That's great.
00:52:23Honestly, Blair, I was really enjoying your performance,
00:52:26and I was even thinking to myself,
00:52:27maybe I'll just sneak in here,
00:52:28but when I heard you start yodeling,
00:52:29I was like, oh man, that's so awesome,
00:52:31but there's no chance that this will not be Team Kelly.
00:52:35And it's where you should be,
00:52:36and I'm really happy for that, so.
00:52:38Oh, I'm freaking out.
00:52:39Thank you, guys.
00:52:40I'm so excited.
00:52:41I'm so excited.
00:52:43I don't even have to fight.
00:52:44I love the texture of your voice.
00:52:46Anytime the yodeling comes in, I'm down,
00:52:48because it does mean that you have an element of control,
00:52:51especially with your breathing and everything,
00:52:52that I can work with.
00:52:53And I love working with female vocalists, obviously.
00:52:56The real reason why I press my button is I was like,
00:52:59man, she's talented.
00:53:00It got a little wild in certain parts,
00:53:02but I kept thinking, what is her voice gonna sound like
00:53:05when I slow it down?
00:53:06That's a big song.
00:53:08Just the breathing, keeping up with the pace of it all
00:53:10is a big deal.
00:53:11And then to go into the yodeling.
00:53:12Key changes, everything was happening.
00:53:14It was a big song.
00:53:15So everything that you showed me was what excited me
00:53:18to turn my chair around.
00:53:19I'm so stoked.
00:53:21Welcome to Team Kelly.
00:53:24I'm so stoked.
00:53:26Valera's really different than anything we've heard so far.
00:53:29She picks such a bold, big song.
00:53:32Check it out.
00:53:34I just heard something in her tone,
00:53:35and the fact that she's capable of the yodeling
00:53:37and the breath control,
00:53:38and I feel like we're gonna learn from each other.
00:53:40But I don't even think she knows how good she can be.
00:53:46I feel like Team Kelly is the team to beat,
00:53:49but I'm a little biased.
00:53:51The end of that was nuts.
00:53:53With Kelly, Adam and I suspect
00:53:56that she'll have a leg up on us with the country artist.
00:53:59She carried the song well.
00:54:01That was a big, there's nowhere to breathe.
00:54:02I was like, what?
00:54:03So interesting to think about
00:54:05what our strategy should be for this.
00:54:07She's gonna be good.
00:54:08Yeah.
00:54:09It's a fool's errand to try and pull a country singer.
00:54:11I've failed so many times,
00:54:13but I'm a good competitor.
00:54:14I'm gonna make it happen for myself.
00:54:16Coming up, with talent this good.
00:54:21Forever young.
00:54:24Yeah.
00:54:25If I fall, can you let me down easy?
00:54:30The gloves must come off.
00:54:33You may notice that I turned for you a lot earlier than Kelly Clarkson.
00:54:37Oh, wow.
00:54:37Seems she was a bit unsure about your talent.
00:54:39Oh, man.
00:54:40Sir talks a lot over there.
00:54:41Leading to the ultimate country showdown.
00:54:43You know what's gonna happen today?
00:54:44Today is the day.
00:54:45Today is the day.
00:54:46You know what the day is?
00:54:47Can you tell me who sings that song?
00:54:49I don't need to.
00:54:50I don't need to.
00:54:51But don't worry about it.
00:54:52I've won a lot.
00:54:52I've had enough.
00:54:53I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired.
00:55:02Welcome back to The Blind Auditions.
00:55:07All right, we're back with a halftime report.
00:55:10Now that we're this far into The Blind Auditions, I think we're getting an idea of how these coaches
00:55:13approach this competition.
00:55:15This is gonna be the hardest season to pitch.
00:55:16Every time y'all talk, I'm like, that made a lot of sense.
00:55:19These are very seasoned coaches and each one has a unique playbook when it comes to winning
00:55:24an artist.
00:55:25Don't pay attention to the others.
00:55:27Kelly seems to really swoop in early, on average 14 seconds before any other coach.
00:55:31I am so excited that I turned first.
00:55:35I noticed that John has the highest name drop count and he uses that to his advantage.
00:55:40I could call Reba McIntyre.
00:55:41I can call Blake Shelton, Kelsey Ballerini.
00:55:44I can name drop too.
00:55:46I choose not to, but I can.
00:55:47I did it with Esperanza Spalding.
00:55:50You know Esperanza?
00:55:51I know Esperanza!
00:55:52Adam's an old pro.
00:55:53He's not afraid to think outside the box, but his technique has yet to get a country artist.
00:55:58John makes the most sense for you.
00:56:00Oh, stop it.
00:56:00No he doesn't!
00:56:02I know this is a waste of time.
00:56:04Don't you do that, reverse psychology.
00:56:06But at the end of the day, only one of these strategies will lead to the first ever triple-turned
00:56:11champion.
00:56:14It's my time.
00:56:15Was that a sneeze or a cough?
00:56:17A slight cough.
00:56:18Bless you either way.
00:56:19Was it a snuff?
00:56:20It was a snuff.
00:56:26If you ever believe me, baby.
00:56:30Love us all.
00:56:33Leaves from morphine at my door.
00:56:37Ready.
00:56:39To take a fall out of medication, to realize what we used to have, we don't, have it anymore.
00:56:51Oh, there's no religion that can see me
00:56:58Come on, Adam
00:56:59No matter how long my knees are on the floor
00:57:03Oh, so keep in mind all the sacrifices I'm making
00:57:11To keep you by my side
00:57:15If you're walking out the door
00:57:17Cause there'll be no sunlight
00:57:21If I lose you, baby
00:57:25There'll be no clear sky
00:57:28If I lose you, baby
00:57:31Just like the clouds
00:57:34My eyes will do the same
00:57:37If you walk away
00:57:40Every day in the rain
00:57:43Rain, rain
00:57:48Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
00:57:51Okay
00:57:53Ooh
00:57:55Ooh
00:57:57Ooh
00:57:58Ooh
00:58:00Ooh
00:58:02Ooh
00:58:09Yeah
00:58:12Hi
00:58:15What's your name?
00:58:16My name's Adi
00:58:17I'm from New Jersey
00:58:18But very nice to meet you guys
00:58:20Nice to meet you
00:58:21Adi from New Jersey
00:58:22Well, you can sing some Bruno Mars
00:58:25I was like, that's a tall order
00:58:27Thank you
00:58:27That's why it took me a while to turn around
00:58:29Cause I was like, oh, he's one of my favorites
00:58:30But man, you, especially ending how you did with that falsetto
00:58:33What's your background, like music-wise?
00:58:35I actually didn't start singing until high school
00:58:38I played a lot of like saxophone and piano
00:58:40Oh, wow
00:58:41I started singing acapella in high school
00:58:43And now I'm in college
00:58:43And I'm in an all-male acapella group
00:58:45I can't do without them
00:58:47Wow, singing acapella group
00:58:48You gotta hold it down
00:58:49One of you goes off track and it's like, oh, no
00:58:53You know, you can hear it
00:58:54Tell me about it
00:58:55Yeah, that's incredible
00:58:56Yeah, you're a high-voiced guy
00:58:58I'm a high-voiced guy
00:58:59We're both high-voiced guys
00:59:00Yeah
00:59:00And yet you don't matter
00:59:01I didn't, I know
00:59:03You still matter
00:59:04In the scheme of things
00:59:05In this current situation
00:59:06As far as Adi is concerned
00:59:08I don't matter that much
00:59:09There were some little things
00:59:10That I couldn't get past
00:59:12With pitch
00:59:12But I wish I hadn't gotten hung up on it
00:59:14Because you had a great voice
00:59:15Thank you so much
00:59:16You can go far on this show
00:59:17Thank you so much
00:59:18I really appreciate that
00:59:20Adi
00:59:21You may notice that I turned for you
00:59:22A lot earlier than Kelly Clarkson
00:59:25Seems she was a bit unsure about your talent
00:59:27I was never unsure
00:59:28Oh, man
00:59:29I was never unsure
00:59:30Now, I loved your tone
00:59:32I loved the way you slid out at the end of it
00:59:35It was just so, like, poetic
00:59:37And it just made me know that
00:59:39You're someone who really thinks
00:59:41Really consciously about your tone
00:59:43And I really felt like
00:59:44With this performance
00:59:45Every note counted
00:59:46Tell me a little more about the acapella thing
00:59:48I did a little acapella in college as well
00:59:50I did know that, actually
00:59:51I was a musical director
00:59:54We were, like, an award-winning acapella group at UPenn
00:59:57What school do you go to?
00:59:58I go to Cornell
00:59:59Okay
01:00:00Oh, my gosh
01:00:01The acapella thing's like a double-edged sword
01:00:03Because whenever movie people want to make fun of people in college
01:00:06They usually put them in an acapella group
01:00:09Yep
01:00:10I grew up in choir, too, and I think we're doing all right
01:00:12Yes, absolutely
01:00:13Yeah
01:00:14But what it does teach you is how to blend
01:00:17And as a director, it taught me how to actually arrange parts
01:00:21I think it's a great part of your college experience
01:00:23And I feel like we have a lot in common, sir
01:00:26I feel like
01:00:27I agree
01:00:27It would be a lot of fun for us to work together
01:00:30And I think you should
01:00:32He knew you did acapella in college
01:00:33I think you should definitely choose team legend over team Kelly
01:00:38I just want to say one thing
01:00:40I just want to say one thing
01:00:41I did grow up singing in choirs as well
01:00:44And they want you to be so perfect, right?
01:00:46And the thing that Bruno has is this little bit of wild to him
01:00:49And it's not perfect
01:00:50He can get lost in the emotion, right?
01:00:52And that's where I think it separates you out from being in a group and being a solo artist
01:00:56So make sure you're just being a little bit more wild and passionate about it
01:01:00All right
01:01:01I'm going to ask you a very important question to you right now
01:01:04Who do you pick as your coach?
01:01:06Come on
01:01:06Come on
01:01:08Come on, Adi
01:01:11Come on
01:01:15I think I'm going to choose
01:01:17John
01:01:18All right
01:01:19All right
01:01:22I love Adi
01:01:23What a beautiful voice
01:01:24He can cover female artists, male artists
01:01:26He can do it all
01:01:28Pleasure, man
01:01:28Pleasure as well
01:01:29Yes, man
01:01:30We connected on a level that Kelly wasn't able to match
01:01:34Oh, wow
01:01:35We got some swag for you
01:01:37Pose for the camera
01:01:38Hey
01:01:40Adi came out
01:01:41And I felt like I could be a good coach for him
01:01:43Now, he did not feel the same way
01:01:46He picked John
01:01:47But I feel like that's a great fit for him, too
01:01:50It worked out perfectly
01:01:51I think he's going to be
01:01:54Like a little dark horse
01:01:55Once you get him to
01:01:56Yeah
01:01:57Just let go
01:01:58I mean, his voice is like
01:02:00It's a weapon
01:02:01You just got to loosen up
01:02:02I think it's honestly just going to take just like shaking
01:02:06So this is it
01:02:07This is it
01:02:08This is the moment that you've been working so hard for
01:02:11From a little kid
01:02:13Literally
01:02:14You remember who you are
01:02:16When you go out there to show the world
01:02:19I love you
01:02:31Welcome back
01:02:37Man, this show was such
01:02:38It was like the poster of the first season
01:02:40It was like rock and roll
01:02:42Like it was unhinged
01:02:45We were all a little nuts and younger
01:02:46Yeah
01:02:47It was crazy
01:02:48No one knew what we were doing
01:02:50Although, you know what's weird about getting older
01:02:52You also like remember when you were like 23
01:02:54And you were like
01:02:55Was I better?
01:02:56Man, I don't think so
01:02:57I think you're lucky to be able to feel like
01:02:59You've gotten to a place where you feel good
01:03:01About where you
01:03:02Yeah
01:03:02Who you are and all that
01:03:03And grow

01:03:45I'm 31 years old
01:03:47And I'm from Harlem, New York
01:03:48I grew up in the hood
01:03:49And the project's in Harlem
01:03:50I remember
01:03:51There was a time in my life
01:03:52When I didn't know
01:03:53Where my next meal was coming from
01:03:55And what couch I was sleeping on
01:03:56From night to night
01:03:57But music saved the day
01:03:59Before I found myself
01:04:01As an artist
01:04:02That's all I knew I could do
01:04:03Was sing
01:04:04And music has had me travel the world
01:04:06Because I take care of my family on another level
01:04:08Why say hi?
01:04:10Hi
01:04:11We made it!
01:04:13Ooh!

01:04:32That's one of the best gifts
01:04:34God could ever give me
01:04:37Yeah
01:04:38Yeah
01:04:44My mom is my queen
01:04:45My reason

01:04:47She's the reason I have life
01:04:48And breath
01:04:50Every step that I took
01:04:52To make it to The Voice
01:04:53Has led me to this point
01:04:54It gives me hope
01:04:56That I can overcome anything
01:05:06May the good Lord be with you

01:06:10Win or do

01:06:33Oh!

01:06:42Yeah!
01:06:43Yeah!
01:06:45Let's go!
01:06:47Congratulations!
01:06:48Thank you so much, Kelly.
01:06:50Yeah, what's your name?
01:06:51I'm Moses G, I'm from Harlem, New York.
01:06:54Let's go!
01:06:55Well, congratulations.
01:06:56First of all, I love the song selection.
01:06:59I love me some sexy Rod Stewart.
01:07:00So that was very cool.
01:07:01My one thing that kept holding me back from hitting my button
01:07:04was just a little bit too much vibrato at certain points.
01:07:07That was the only thing I would lay back
01:07:08just a little bit on that, but you have a big ol' gift.
01:07:11Welcome to the show.
01:07:12Yeah!
01:07:12Thank you so much.
01:07:13Yeah!
01:07:14Let's go.
01:07:15All right.
01:07:16Moses!
01:07:16Sean!
01:07:17How are you?
01:07:18I don't know.
01:07:21I'm well, I'm grateful.
01:07:22You should feel really exhilarated
01:07:24because you have a wonderful coach in Adam Levine
01:07:27and I already can tell you've got great energy
01:07:31and charisma and your voice is so cool.
01:07:34I'm excited for you.
01:07:35Welcome to the show.
01:07:36Thank you so much, John.
01:07:39Moses, here we are.
01:07:40I'm your guy.
01:07:41You're my guy.
01:07:42You got no choice, man.
01:07:44I am your guy.
01:07:46You know what's really, really cool about your voice
01:07:48is I heard like some grit sometimes,
01:07:50some rasp that I am envious of, that I love.
01:07:53Just the way you attacked it was so different.
01:07:56I heard the R&B, I heard the gospel,
01:07:58I heard rock and roll, I heard it all.
01:07:59So I'm just excited to get going
01:08:00and I'm really happy I got you on my team.
01:08:02Let's go do this.
01:08:03Let's do it.
01:08:06Moses is great, man.
01:08:07I loved his energy when he performed.
01:08:11Just seems like a vibe and a cool dude,
01:08:12so I just, I can't wait to hang out and make music.
01:08:17I think I have the coolest team.
01:08:18I'm just looking for different kinds of musicians.
01:08:21There's always good talent on the horse
01:08:22and talent that we'll be surprised by.
01:08:24He seemed like a cool vibe.
01:08:25Yeah, I love the song choice.
01:08:27I was like, okay, Rod Stewart.
01:08:28Yeah, I've never heard someone cover that.
01:08:29I know, me neither.
01:08:31Forever Young.
01:08:40Welcome back to the Blind Auditions.
01:08:43Let's see how the teams are shaping up
01:08:45after two nights of Blind Auditions.
01:08:48Kelly's team is country heavy
01:08:49and she's eyeing another triple turn.
01:08:51John is behind, but starting to pick up steam.
01:08:55Adam really wants a country artist,
01:08:57but may have to go toe-to-toe with Kelly.
01:09:02Since I'm crushing it, and I knew I would.
01:09:05I got y'all something.
01:09:06It's the Voice Battle of Champions
01:09:08coaching country music for dum-dums.
01:09:11Oh, cool.
01:09:11Coaching country music for dum-dums.
01:09:13You're welcome.
01:09:15Chapter one, chapter one.
01:09:17Don't even bother.
01:09:18It's a waste of time.
01:09:19I'm going to crush you.
01:09:20It's chapter two.
01:09:21It's one page long.
01:09:22I have a personal goal,
01:09:24and this is for Adam to get a country singer.
01:09:28I put myself on my vision board on The Voice.
01:09:31I even photoshopped myself with my coach that I want.
01:09:35I'm here now and it's perfect timing.
01:09:37My name is Cesare.
01:09:38I'm 31 years old.
01:09:40Season 29.
01:09:43I'm incredibly grateful to be able to have this opportunity.
01:09:46I've been performing for the past seven years.
01:09:49I have a residency in Las Vegas.
01:09:52I sing with a band called The Diamonds.
01:09:54I sing a lot of Chaka Khan, a lot of Whitney Houston.
01:09:57We do Michael Jackson, Prince.
01:09:59Lots of funk and hip hop.
01:10:01Yes.
01:10:03For my blind audition, I will be singing
01:10:05I'm Every Woman by Chaka Khan.
01:10:08It's my number one pick.
01:10:09And actually, I envisioned myself singing it
01:10:12while I was writing out my vision board, too.
01:10:14And it's one of my favorites to perform.
01:10:16I hope that everyone feels my confidence when I'm singing,
01:10:19and I hope it rubs off on them, too.
01:10:22What I want next, I would love to win.
01:10:25I would.
01:10:25I would love to win because I put that on my vision board.
01:10:28I think a chair turn will definitely change my life.
01:10:36Whatever you want, whatever you need,
01:10:46anything you want on, baby, I'll do it naturally.
01:10:55Come on.
01:10:55Because I'm Every Woman, it's all in me, yeah, yeah.
01:11:10I can cast a spell as if you can tell.
01:11:16There's a spell to prove what's found inside of you.
01:11:19Any time you feel danger, I feel the next to me.
01:11:25Oh, when I paint this time,
01:11:28I'm Every Woman, it's all in me, yeah.
01:11:33You believe in it all, yeah.
01:11:38Oh, I'm Every Woman, baby.
01:11:41Oh, I'm Every Woman.
01:11:45Oh, I'm Every Woman.
01:11:57Hello, hello.
01:11:58What is your name?
01:12:00Hi, my name's Chezare.
01:12:01I'm 31 years old, and I live in Los Angeles.
01:12:04All right.
01:12:06Chezare.
01:12:07I know it's not a fun feeling to feel right now.
01:12:10Something was holding me back, but honestly,
01:12:12I don't think anyone in this room doesn't believe
01:12:13that you're a great singer.
01:12:16I was like, oh, man, this is a wild song.
01:12:18Because I get wild on this song, too, whenever I cover it,
01:12:20because it's supposed to be.
01:12:21It's shocking.
01:12:22It's supposed to be wild.
01:12:23Your voice, especially, girl, you're up here.
01:12:26Like, it was so pure.
01:12:28You have such a beautiful, strong voice.
01:12:31Thank you so much.
01:12:31Yeah.
01:12:33Honestly, you should come back and audition,
01:12:38and I think a song that allows you-
01:12:40A little more space.
01:12:41Space to breathe and, like, to create
01:12:44a beautiful kind of picture for us.
01:12:47And I know you would get chair turns.
01:12:50All right.
01:12:50Okay.
01:12:53Chezare was really good, but it didn't quite get me.
01:12:56That song is always a tough one.
01:12:57It's a really, really tall mountain to climb.
01:12:59She definitely could come back and get chair turns.
01:13:02No question.
01:13:02Yeah, a different song, for sure.
01:13:04As a veteran of this game, you have to be really picky.
01:13:06There's just no other way to say it.
01:13:07Uh, so it's hard.
01:13:09I want someone on my team.
01:13:11I'm gonna really wait till I love it.
01:13:12Triple turns, triple turns.
01:13:24Welcome back.
01:13:27I'm just warming up.
01:13:28Wait till I get my barbs a little sharper.
01:13:31I feel like 95% of the time they pick who they were planning to pick before they came.
01:13:36Yeah.
01:13:37This is who I would want to be my coach, for sure.
01:13:39Kelly has always been my favorite since she was on the show.
01:13:43Wow.
01:13:44So cool.
01:13:46My go-to genre is country.
01:13:48So I feel like she would definitely be really, really cool to help me with that.
01:13:51She's won four times.
01:13:53Like, you can't argue with four.
01:13:54My name is Hunter Jordan.
01:13:55I am 22 years old, and I am from Maysville, Kentucky.
01:14:01I grew up in a very, very small town.
01:14:05I would say population of around 10, 20,000.
01:14:11Growing up with my brother and sister in a small double-wide trailer in the trailer park
01:14:17was a pretty rough way to live.
01:14:19When my mom and dad separated, things were really, really tough because as soon as they split,
01:14:25my mom was working two jobs at once.
01:14:29It taught me to hang on and, you know, just always keep looking forward no matter what.
01:14:35When I graduated high school, I had a job, but I kept thinking to myself,
01:14:39I feel like I'm meant for something more.
01:14:41I definitely feel like there's something bigger to life than what's going on here.
01:14:45I play three to four nights a week currently.
01:14:49Through the separation, Hunter was basically a beacon for both of us.
01:14:53He was our purpose.
01:14:54I'm very proud of where you're at right now.
01:14:57Me too.
01:14:58I love you so much.
01:15:01My parents showing up for me to support me in this is really important to me.
01:15:06The common point that they always had with each other was they always wanted the best for me.
01:15:10I love them dearly for it.
01:15:15I'm going to be singing Let Me Down Easy by Billy Currington.
01:15:18It definitely hits home.
01:15:20It's like it's a little bit about taking a risk and not knowing what the result is going to be.
01:15:23Being from a very small country town in Kentucky, there's not a lot of opportunity,
01:15:28but the voice presents me with the risk of putting yourself out there for the world to see on this
01:15:34stage, one of the biggest stages in the world.
01:15:37You got to tell yourself that you are good enough and you deserve to be here.
01:15:41Good luck, everybody.
01:15:46This is a huge moment for me and my family.
01:15:56There's a little moonlight dancing on the sail.
01:16:04There's a warm breeze blowing by the ocean as you take a mile.
01:16:11Nice.
01:16:12You need to know where I'm standing now that I'm right on the edge of giving in to you.
01:16:24Baby, it's a long way now.
01:16:27If I fall, can you let me down easy?
01:16:42Oh, I'm barely hanging on.
01:16:49If I fall, can you let me down easy?
01:16:57Oh, I'm barely hanging on.
01:17:03If I fall, can you let me down easy?
01:17:16Oh, I'm barely hanging on.
01:17:20Let me down easy.
01:17:35Oh, I'm barely hanging on.
01:17:43If I fall, can you let me down easy?
01:17:47If I fall, can you let me down easy?
01:17:48If I fall, can you let me down easy?
01:17:50If I fall, can you let me down easy?
01:17:52Today.
01:17:53Today.
01:17:54Today is the day.
01:17:55Today is the day.
01:17:55Today is the day.
01:17:56Today is the day.
01:17:57You know what today is?
01:17:58Do you know what today is?
01:18:00Let me tell you what today.
01:18:01First of all, what's your name?
01:18:02My name is Hunter Jordan.
01:18:04I'm 22 years old from Maysville, Kentucky.
01:18:06Maysville, Kentucky.
01:18:08All right.
01:18:11Hunter, let me tell you what today is.
01:18:12Can you tell me who sings that song?
01:18:14I don't need to.
01:18:15Okay.
01:18:17Because I know greatness when I hear it.
01:18:19Okay.
01:18:19Okay.
01:18:20I'm not going to pitch.
01:18:22I'm not Captain Country, okay?
01:18:25I'm not Blake.
01:18:26Captain Country.
01:18:27I'm Colonel Country over here.
01:18:28Yeah, I'm Admiral Country.
01:18:30All right, listen.
01:18:30What's going to happen today is,
01:18:31I'm going to finally make a country singer realize,
01:18:34sometimes, the best thing to do,
01:18:36and no one's done it.
01:18:37So you will be blazing a trail, my friend.
01:18:39And we all want to blaze trails, don't we?
01:18:40Yeah.
01:18:41Blaze trails.
01:18:42Create new paths.
01:18:43Exactly.
01:18:44You're going to break the mold.
01:18:46Yeah.
01:18:46Because you are going to finally do
01:18:48what no country singer has ever done before.
01:18:51Resist the urge to go with the status quo, my friend.
01:18:55You're going to shake things up.
01:18:56It's going to be television gold.
01:18:58But most importantly, it's going to be hunter gold.
01:19:00Because you're going to have a bigger career,
01:19:02because people are going to want to know,
01:19:04look at this odd couple.
01:19:05Oh, wait, odd couple.
01:19:06Blake Shelton, Adam Levine, odd couple.
01:19:08Country, not country.
01:19:10It worked.
01:19:10I'm just saying.
01:19:11It works.
01:19:13It works.
01:19:14I've had enough.
01:19:16I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired.
01:19:20Please, Adam.
01:19:21There's a day when I will get a country singer on my team.
01:19:27He's preaching.
01:19:29This is my first time back in a while.
01:19:31And, um, but don't worry about it.
01:19:32I've won a lot.
01:19:35I did hear country, but also, like,
01:19:37do you listen to any kind of rock?
01:19:38I listen to all kinds of stuff from,
01:19:40from grunge to rock to pop.
01:19:43Yeah.
01:19:43Indie, folk, all of it.
01:19:45Yeah.
01:19:46Well, that's so interesting.
01:19:48Because I cover all those songs, too.
01:19:51Right.
01:19:51And we all love music.
01:19:53Don't close yourself off with just that one thing.
01:19:55Amen.
01:19:56I totally agree.
01:19:57Yeah.
01:19:58I would love to coach you.
01:20:00I'm a fan.
01:20:01But I'd go ahead, John.
01:20:03Thank you all.
01:20:04You see how she gets more country with stuff?
01:20:06She got a little more country right there.
01:20:07She's like, go ahead, John.
01:20:08When it comes to genre,
01:20:10there's so much that we have in common.
01:20:13Like, soul music, country music,
01:20:15blues music, rock music.
01:20:16Those genres borrow from each other all the time.
01:20:19I've collaborated with country artists
01:20:20like Kane Brown and Carrie Underwood.
01:20:22And we can learn from each other.
01:20:24We can coach each other.
01:20:26Oh, my God.
01:20:26And I would love to coach you, Hunter.
01:20:30Thank you, John.
01:20:32Adam.
01:20:35Adam, raise this hand.
01:20:36Sir talks a lot over there.
01:20:37I'm so polite.
01:20:37I want to tell you something that's super important.
01:20:40Playing live.
01:20:41Because having live chops is a dead art.
01:20:43And it is something that people don't have enough of anymore.
01:20:45We all did it.
01:20:46All of our careers, because they all started 100 years ago.
01:20:49You know, we actually had to do stuff.
01:20:52But yeah, that's how you cut your teeth in this business.
01:20:55That's how you get good.
01:20:56And especially in the context of playing on the voice.
01:20:58Once I turned around and saw what you were doing,
01:21:00the effortless, smooth power that you were able to deliver,
01:21:04it didn't look difficult for you.
01:21:06It looked like you had a lot of control over it.
01:21:08And it looked like you were really harnessing power
01:21:10without having to push too hard.
01:21:12That's just the sign of a really, truly, effortlessly great voice.
01:21:15And that is what goes the distance on this show.
01:21:18All right.
01:21:20I had to say my piece.
01:21:22All right, it's time.
01:21:23It's time.
01:21:24Hunter, I think it should be me.
01:21:26Who do you pick as your coach?
01:21:28Come on, Hunter.
01:21:29Come on, Hunter.
01:21:31Come on.
01:21:31Come on, Hunter.
01:21:33Come on.
01:21:35I've thought about this decision for a long time
01:21:38when I knew that I was going to be on the show.
01:21:40Come on.
01:21:41Come on, Hunter.
01:21:42Come on.
01:21:42Come on.
01:21:47And I think I'm going to blaze a path with Adam.
01:21:49Let's go!
01:21:57I went fully insane over Hunter because he deserves it,
01:22:01but also because I had to go turbo
01:22:02because I always lose country artists.
01:22:04We did it.
01:22:05I went hard.
01:22:06I got him.
01:22:09Adam got the triple turn, so I was a little sad.
01:22:12Obviously going to let him take the lead,
01:22:13but I really want that super steal.
01:22:15You did not make a mistake.
01:22:16I'm going to be a great coach for you.
01:22:18I promise.
01:22:19I thought in my gut I wanted to pick Kelly.
01:22:21He's a cute kid.
01:22:22But I just had the connection with Adam,
01:22:24and I felt like that was the right choice for me.
01:22:27Triple chair.
01:22:28I am now Captain Country, or at least like Admiral Country.
01:22:30I can't believe it.
01:22:34I'm going to call Blake.
01:22:49Yes.
01:23:12I got the other.
01:23:12I got theativa O kitsch.
01:23:13I don't already know whatolt is coming from outside.
01:23:14But I haven't景 eher thangus today,
