00:01:43giggling i'm like i'm just talking to benji so i put these people together drew and jared and
00:01:48they're both so good like what have i done you gotta let them find it out drew has a cool
00:01:54tone
00:01:54she had a great sound just a cool vibe in general jared i mean i can tell their soul and
00:01:59there's a
00:02:00story i think that there's a country element that connects them it's really awesome benji madden's
00:02:07here i mean i grew up on his music good charlotte that's where i listened to in high school
00:02:11all the alternative rock nice to meet you jared benji jared yeah good to meet you there so to
00:02:17get his guidance and to meet him is awesome we're excited about this pairing i feel like you did a
00:02:22great job well i'm gonna cry though because you guys are both gonna be so good and you guys look
00:02:27cool as hell thank you thank you really do rock energy today you guys are pretty badass together
00:02:31it's already you looked the part we look good we're ready so this song um makes me cry i've heard
00:02:38you sing it by the way yeah i've heard a couple times have you ever heard him sing it on
00:02:42a voicemail
00:02:42though because i have i sing it to benji on a voicemail i gave drew and jared leather and lace
00:02:47by
00:02:48stevie nix and don henley it's folky it's country it's rock and roll it's a lot of little things you
00:02:52love you know of all the songs in the world this might be a song that i have the most
00:02:56experience with
00:02:57i sang the song with stevie nix to my wife at our wedding if you don't like this song then
00:03:03i don't like you
00:03:05i know it means a lot to him so there's always that little uh nervousness i guess to perform a
00:03:12song that means a lot to my coach but this is the kind of music that i love as an
00:03:17artist so i'm just
00:03:17really happy we got it let's do it all right lovers forever face to face the song is kind of
00:03:27what helped
00:03:28we put them together country rock and roll i feel like they both are cut from that same cloth
00:03:39drew has kind of a cool lane because i don't hate anybody that sounds like her
00:03:43she can really bring something special to the song that you don't hear every day
00:03:50jared's got such a cool sort of like country sort of rocky voice
00:03:55and he has brains that i didn't know he had you know because he didn't sing that high in a
00:04:00blind
00:04:00audition it's good to push yourself and i think he sounds really cool in his upper register too
00:04:07that was beautiful guys a couple stars you guys both have your own swagger
00:04:12i'm such a fan of you guys i think that for me you never want to be copying right but
00:04:17at the same time
00:04:17you have to be reverent to the record too because it's such a special record that like holds a place
00:04:22in so many people's hearts the power of the song is in the simplicity so all of that emotion and
00:04:27power is there without trying to do too much this is a big choice it's exciting but it's also maybe
00:04:33a
00:04:33little bit nerve-wracking you want to keep the respect on it yeah yeah because it's such a classic and
00:04:37such an all-time great song i feel like it's going to stand out if you can tap into where
00:04:42that song
00:04:43in your soul sits and what it means to you to win this battle i need to completely let go
00:04:48and relate
00:04:49to that feeling of that vulnerability and that rawness that comes with falling in love with
00:04:55someone my husband and i got married in 2022 and we are very opposite in a lot of ways leather
00:05:02lace
00:05:02i don't know sometimes i'm leather sometimes i'm lace ben as a father is amazing he's crazy supportive
00:05:08of me especially my musicianship i can take the space and the time that i need to pursue what's
00:05:12important to me and as a mom and a wife or just a partner in general that's not something that
00:05:17a lot
00:05:17of people get and i'm really grateful for that this is obviously an epic love song and i love jared
00:05:22but we're not in love yeah so like where do you go to really sell that story i don't see
00:05:28it like you're
00:05:29playing a part because then it can be fake it's the love of music like i said i've sung the
00:05:33song with
00:05:33all the people and our love of the song is the kind of the romantic part of it right it's
00:05:39not targeted
00:05:40at each other like if benji and i were singing it it would definitely be a love song i was
00:05:44gonna say
00:05:45each other wait hold up adam i was gonna say when we sing it together yeah you both do make
00:05:50each
00:05:51other feel even more special you know singing together because your voices are so different
00:05:55it's also not bad if it scares you a little bit those nerves can be really good it's just raw
00:06:00it's
00:06:01real 90 of this game is comfort you know if you can feel good about yourself and then helps you
00:06:06propel
00:06:07what you're trying to sing i need you to love me and benji's good at helping me unlock that in
00:06:13some
00:06:13of these singers that was infinitely better it just immediately jumped the level you guys are already
00:06:20starting to feel that chemistry just get lost in the lyrics the more kind of intimate it can feel
00:06:26the better people will react to it yeah i got to really focus on pouring more of that soul and
00:06:31that
00:06:32feeling into the song for me this song is about a complicated relationship that's had its ups and
00:06:37downs my girlfriend's name is chapin most of the challenges in our relationship center around
00:06:43my life as a musician every weekend i'm in a different town so being gone a lot it's very
00:06:49difficult but she's here to back me all the way she's the one that pushed me to sign up so
00:06:54if it
00:06:55wasn't for her i would not be here you know we just gave you the note and while you're singing
00:06:59it
00:06:59you're thinking all right how am i applying that but the more you do it you're gonna get locked in
00:07:03just keep running this repetition 10 more times and we'll be ready you know what i'm saying we're
00:07:08very excited thank you guys so much the stakes are high for this battle we're performing on this
00:07:13massive stage for millions of people watching at home all right here we go
00:07:22this song it requires a very clear vulnerability that takes time to build
00:07:32my dad david thomas is in the jazz acapella group take six i always want to make my dad proud
00:07:38whenever i'm doing anything musical he knows i've been working hard at this and for him to hear that
00:07:43all come together on stage for the battles is going to be really cool
00:07:49i definitely don't think the coaches have seen what i can do yet we're just going to go out there
00:07:53we're going to crush it we're like a good looking couple yeah this battle begins right now
00:08:16is love is love so fragile and my heart so hollow
00:08:23a shadow of words impossible to follow yeah
00:08:29you're saying i'm fragile try not to be i search only for something i can't see
00:08:38hey nice still i carry this feeling when you
00:08:45walked into my house that i won't be walking out the door

00:10:43that was so cool
00:10:44first of all not to be superficial though you guys would make a hot couple i don't know what your
00:10:48dating status
00:10:49is honestly after hearing you i think you should be a duo you sound great together you look good
00:10:54together let's think about it drew's married drew's married never mind never mind you can still have a
00:10:59group though it was really beautiful your harmony sounded so great that was such a great song
00:11:04choice i thought for both of you drew i really loved at the top of your range that
00:11:08little shred that was in your voice it sounded so cool jared i just decided that you're one of my
00:11:14favorite male vocalists this season thank you i just love the tone of your voice like the rasp in
00:11:21it you just sound like a star to me you're like the real deal it was the perfect song so
00:11:27well
00:11:28done adam for that it was the perfect song for both of you how john was talking about your ache
00:11:35that will break in your voice through but also the vibrato it was perfect and jared you open your
00:11:40mouth and it's like i feel like i'm at your concert i actually think the both of you compliment each
00:11:46other and you actually make each other better that's why i said the group thing and it's unexpected
00:11:52which makes it more exciting as a fan thank you coaches adam tough decision coming up
00:11:58give us some thoughts first this song to me is just a heavyweight champion of songs in my life
00:12:03like i sang this song with stevie nicks to my wife at our wedding you know what i mean like
00:12:07what like
00:12:08i did that happened it really happened i think it really happened i pinched myself sometimes so it made
00:12:14it even harder i think for you guys because i was gonna go and be uber critical of it and
00:12:17in the
00:12:18rehearsals to be completely honest it the promise was there and the the vibe was there but it just
00:12:23wasn't where it needed to be yet and i was hoping that it would really come to fruition in time
00:12:28for
00:12:28this thing and it really did it was so beautiful thank you guys for really doing it doing it right
00:12:33beautiful drew like there were moments where i was so stevie-esque and she is obviously one of the
00:12:42greatest ever to do it and jared don henley's a beast it's really really rangy for a male vocalist
00:12:47and you crushed it you guys really stepped up and you're both just incredible great job great job
00:12:54thank you adam congrats on a great battle but the time has come who is the winner of this battle
00:13:00you know something happened to me when i listened to this one today
00:13:06it really hit me out of left field the winner of this battle is jared
00:13:13jared moving on to the knockouts for team adam congratulations i got a hero in mind for you
00:13:19excellent job thank you amazing dude jared can win this thing like there's something about him
00:13:24like he's special i can't wait to get into it with jared i think we're gonna have a lot of
00:13:29taste in
00:13:29common believe it or not and i think that's going to be really really fun true anything you want to
00:13:32say to your coach i am just so incredibly grateful for this opportunity and honestly your taste the song
00:13:39choice jared as a partner was also incredible and i couldn't be more thankful so thank you for
00:13:44everything you were awesome give it up one more time for true russell everybody oh i wish i could have

00:15:33it's just you thanks for the pressure my people are going next it's houston and tia and they're both
00:15:41so good but they're both very different i really don't know which one i'm gonna pick
00:15:48it's the voice battle of champions and it feels like a battle of champions right now father hilton
00:15:53anxiety before i go out it's just starting to get to me a little um could i have a moment
00:15:57i just need to
00:15:59uh i want to take a minute please yeah because i don't want to cry
00:16:06thank you breathe this song is very challenging for me and i just want to be able to perform it
00:16:12the way i know that i can i'm ready to go sing my tush off that's for sure this is
00:16:17a different genre
00:16:17than what i normally sing i want to show kelly my versatility entering now from team kelly houston kelly
00:16:29versus to win this battle i'm going to put everything i've got out on the line and i'm
00:16:36going to hope that's enough you ready girl opportunities like this don't come very often
00:16:40losing is not an option
00:16:50when it was announced that we were going to be battling each other i was initially thinking like
00:16:54what are they thinking i wonder if something like that would work plied is he soulful he said
00:17:05he'd sing gospel did he not so houston means heavily towards chris tableclone oh oh there you go
00:17:11listen she can sing anything yeah this is meant to be then okay i'm gonna put houston and tia together
00:17:17i think this mix between country and soul i never heard it until we started singing but it works we
00:17:25have to come up with a name for it oh yeah country or something so so like something we're coming
00:17:30with
00:17:31it i think i am ready it's me jempha i came to see about you can i get a hug
00:17:39first nice to meet you
00:17:41oh wow today seeing jennifer hudson it was definitely a surreal moment not only is she an
00:17:48incredible singer she is an incredible actress she is doing things that i am inspired to do
00:17:55unfortunately kelly couldn't be here today so she asked me to step in i hear y'all got a gospel
00:18:01background both of you yes ma'am so my dad he was a gospel singer and when he was in
00:18:06college he toured
00:18:06with a little group and they would go to local churches and sing around and then he was in a
00:18:10quartet
00:18:10when i was a kid i love to write and i love to be creative in that way and i
00:18:14think that came from
00:18:14my dad he put it in you i love that now tell me about you tia what's your roots my
00:18:19upbringing is
00:18:20in church i'm from a small town so faith faith faith yes my grandfather used to sing and of course
00:18:26he pushed me up there to do it so definitely i got a lot of my confidence in church and
00:18:31my yeah go
00:18:32ahead baby you got it type of thing that's all right baby go head on definitely i love it i
00:18:37see miss
00:18:37kelly put y'all together for that reason and she also picked a chris stapleton song for you guys
00:18:43because it has a blend of country blues soul gospel so put your faith in that all right now take
00:18:51it
00:18:51away houston the only time we ever talk is when the monthly bills are due we go to work we
00:19:02go to church
00:19:03they're singing either way by chris stapleton kelly knew exactly what she was doing when she made this pair
00:19:10the world will come see it has a pop soul vibe with a touch of gospel baby you can go
00:19:19oh you can stay
00:19:23houston has this huge country gritty voice but i won't love you either way it's just
00:19:34it works i won't love you either way holy smokes thank you don't y'all come up in here with
00:19:46all of
00:19:46this yeah i was very honored to have a shoe thrown at me by miss hudson i need my collection
00:19:53play now
00:19:54okay listen this is what i'm talking about tell the story thank you so much because it's so powerful
00:20:02i would love to hear your testimony and what you're singing and then hearing your testimony and what
00:20:08you're singing where you're going through what you're going through but you're going through it
00:20:12in your own tracks does that make sense yeah the song is so emotional not only is it about love
00:20:18and
00:20:19storytelling which is what soul is about it's about a deep vulnerability that i haven't always been
00:20:25open to and there is power and vulnerability what's the very end on stage we definitely want to give it
00:20:32some dramatic so i suggested the turn away right like the i won't love you either way so how you
00:20:39physically did that okay now put it in the vocal you're contemplating so let it be a thought you see
00:20:45what i'm saying you over here when you do separate that's what i mean by put it in the lyrics
00:20:49so it's
00:20:50like what do i want either way that's taking them on that journey where you're figuring it out like
00:20:55either way so it doesn't have to be collective it doesn't have to be that because that's
00:21:00you contemplating your journey i don't want to go either way either way it's like a conversational
00:21:11emotional emotional yeah whatever whatever you feel put it out there yo granddaddy yo daddy taught
00:21:19y'all well okay they're gonna be proud thank you i'm proud so kelly gonna be real proud did i
00:21:25throw
00:21:25enough shoes yeah you did y'all got some more tia and houston how is kelly gonna pick between the
00:21:32two of
00:21:32them i'm so glad i'm not kelly this is going to be tough just keep in mind it's a competition
00:21:40sound
00:21:41wonderful together but this is called the voice not voices the voice now my heart's beating fast
00:21:48you won't talk about nervous i got put up against the riffle what i do know is the coaches better
00:21:54get
00:21:54their shoes and their tissues ready that's what i know thank you so much yes yes that went pretty solid

00:22:39we pass in the hall on our way to separate rooms the only time we ever talk is when the
00:22:50monthly bills
00:22:52are due we go to work we go to church we fade the perfect line hey girl
00:23:01i pass the point of give a damn hey

00:24:24thank you
00:24:27thank you
00:24:33thank you
00:25:10thank you
00:25:16man that was that was crazy you guys did great thank you tia i turned for you i lost
00:25:23houston i didn't turn for you but i gotta tell you i was really really blown away you
00:25:27have made your revelation houston for me today that rasp in your voice in your upper register
00:25:31especially when you're singing chris stapleton who is like the master of that right you really
00:25:35fulfilled a tall order and being able to stay with that and do those big gutty high notes with
00:25:41rasp but i'm jealous of that tia i love you but i think if i was choosing i might actually
00:25:46go with
00:25:46houston today thank you so much you're both great i'm not trying to choose favorites oh no i need help
00:25:50well y'all made it hard for her so congratulations for making it hard for her houston i was very
00:25:56impressed with you that higher part of your voice just really crackled in a really beautiful way
00:26:01but i will say i would choose tia in this battle not to contradict my friend over there
00:26:06but i just feel like the tone was perfect i loved your runs they were just so tastefully done
00:26:13interesting and subtle your tone was just liquid gold i just wanted to listen to you sing all day like
00:26:20i couldn't see her going home after that thank you so much thank you coaches wow kelly i can see
00:26:27the
00:26:27anguish on your face already yeah battle the champions they've all been really good they make for
00:26:32difficult decisions what do you think about the whole battle first this has been the hardest
00:26:36battles for me because i wasn't able to be there at rehearsals you know jennifer i do remember her
00:26:42telling me she threw her shoe in y'all's rehearsal she was like she was the shoe was thrown she
00:26:47doesn't
00:26:47do that for everyone that's how you know you did it right she just said it was such a great
00:26:51pairing
00:26:51and so i knew that you could both handle this song handled you both did such a great job like
00:26:56tia once
00:26:56again you did some really interesting stuff that was really cool i think that's what's special about
00:27:01you is where your brain takes you melodically i think is very interesting and not many singers do
00:27:06thank you and houston your subtle vibrato and the emotion behind that was something unexpected i knew

00:29:23be paired with for battles i got the best singing partner y'all give oh my god i got jeremy
00:29:29jeremy's
00:29:30voice i love how smooth it is he's always on pitch that is something that i gotta focus a little
00:29:35bit
00:29:35more on it's just getting super competitive i just want to make it to knockouts aziz his baritone
00:29:41voice is so rich it's very delicate at the same time he does everything well you know he just makes
00:29:46me want to step my game up even more it's gonna be amazing amazing amazing yes this was my hardest
00:29:52pairing because aziz he's saying entirely in spanish and he's so singularly his own thing but i felt like
00:29:57jeremy would be maybe a good person and the song helps me decide oh what up benji madden ladies and
00:30:06benji madden legend this is benji madden right here like i was not expecting that huge fan huge
00:30:13fan seeing benji was my childhood all over again mtv there was no way you could avoid good charlotte
00:30:21i love this song it's beautiful and the fact that we can sing it in english and spanish i know
00:30:24i love
00:30:25that it's just you in spanish or you can do spanish too he's gonna sing in spanish oh yes i
00:30:29gave aziz
00:30:30and jeremy my sharia more by stevie wonder big shoes to fill as stevie is literally like the
00:30:34baddest singer of all time it's nice when a song comes around and like makes sense for two people
00:30:38on my team right it also is great because it's a challenge for you jeremy i love that you're
00:30:43singing in spanish i've been wanting to sing a song in spanish for a minute so jeremy do you speak
00:30:49spanish a little bit i'm not like fluent but i don't know okay i love it let's sing my sherry
00:30:58amore pretty little one that i jeremy you can just tell that he's put the hours and hours and hours
00:31:08and hours and really rich tone yeah sweet soulful but deep that's a big voice to take on
00:31:24aziz's voice i kind of felt like there was like a little bit of like old school crooner
00:31:28kind of vibe aziz is like the latin josh grovan yeah that's a great comp right yeah if he leans
00:31:34into
00:31:35that then he'll shine sounded good in spanish thank you okay started off great towards the end
00:31:46it started to get too over harmonized okay i don't want to sacrifice energy for harmony jeremy being a
00:31:53background singer every once in a while i hear you go into a very safe place yes because that's what
00:31:58you're used to doing but i would say like try your best to break out of that you have the
00:32:02license to be
00:32:03freer and not be restricted by what you've had to do in the past to be a support system being
00:32:08a back
00:32:08backup singer is a really tough gig definitely you're there you know in service of a different
00:32:14record and you know to get to go out behind your own music i think like make sure you don't
00:32:21hold
00:32:21yourself back either right and yeah don't let it be a weakness make it a strength outside of the voice
00:32:26i worked on a cruise ship three shows a night six nights a week i don't think you work harder
00:32:33anywhere else i also been a background vocalist pretty much my whole career and this time it's about
00:32:39me it's about preparing jeremy the lights are on me the pressure is on me i want to show adam
00:32:45that
00:32:46i am an artist and i take risks aziz i just don't want it to be too chill you know
00:32:53what i'm saying
00:32:54okay a little bit more urgency everybody's different you'll have something that's unique
00:32:58to you get to know yourself as you go right definitely gotcha i'm currently studying at
00:33:04berkeley college of music in boston being here is just so much different right now i'm just singing
00:33:10casually in front of adam levine i would love to win the battle just being here is literally a dream
00:33:16come true right on yeah guys awesome thank you guys my guys let's go i think if jeremy can
00:33:23really step up and be the lead singer you know he's got the voice for it i don't like to
00:33:28pick sides
00:33:28so early but yes i don't disagree with you jeremy is definitely in the lead but there's been so many
00:33:34times someone's been in the lead yeah and all of a sudden you just don't know

00:39:03welcome back to the battles drewski these battles they've been so intense it kind of reminds me of
00:39:10the 95 eastern conference semi-finals that's the year i was born what it reminds me of my family
00:39:17get-togethers a lot of yelling fighting and stealing speaking of stealing adam is the only coach with a
00:39:23steal left adam has attempted to steal before but it hasn't worked out yet you know what do you mean
00:39:27i know what he's going through mentally but he needs to use that pressure dig deep hit that button
00:39:33at the right time well let's see what happens i'm next oh my god they're doing walk on by they
00:39:39sound
00:39:39really good on it i love that song the country girl sounds amazing on it our team is so lucky

00:39:45money long i'm so grateful to be here i'm super excited to share my knowledge with this next generation
00:39:51of artists and be a trailblazer and chop down the trees and make the path so that it's not as
00:39:56tough
00:39:57for people that come behind me so let's talk about these artists we've got kendra versus natasha
00:40:03we are partnering together for battle she can moonwalk she's got to do this in the performance
00:40:11it's all in the ankles natasha and i couldn't be different on so many levels to where i'm always
00:40:16hot and i need a fan i'm freezing so i'm sitting on a rope they are so different and i
00:40:23was like how
00:40:23do i find a song for the both of them and i went to dion warwick walk on by yeah
00:40:29dion's got smooth
00:40:30and she's got grit exactly let's do it hello ladies so there's john legend and there's money long
00:40:38this is sick she's written amazing songs like california king bed by rihanna i'm a songwriter back
00:40:48in nashville for movies and tv shows i am so excited to hear input from such an accomplished writer
00:40:56both of you got your boots on today we ready to walk on by when we got this song i
00:41:03was like let's
00:41:04go this is so in my wheelhouse i was like let me look it up well this is a classic
00:41:10and the thing
00:41:11about great songwriting is you can translate it to different genres yeah let's do it if you see me
00:41:18walking down the street i love natasha because she's got such style in her voice it has like a grace
00:41:24to
00:41:24it it's just silky slinky and i really love that she owns it she doesn't try to do anything that
00:41:31doesn't
00:41:31feel like it's her kendra is so raspy and like gritty she kind of gives me a little annie winehouse
00:41:40vibe it's just kind of sounds like vinyl smoky she just sings the melody in a way that is so
00:41:47full kendra
00:41:49i like how you broke up the walk on when the call and response don't stop you're not stepping on
00:41:58each
00:41:58other so okay sing it can we address the harmonics in the bridge something was rubbing to me we just
00:42:05arranged it to what we thought i'll help you like compose something together
00:42:24that's it that's the vibe it's just simpler you know yeah john legend truly is a master at his
00:42:31craft and how lucky am i to have a person like that as my coach back home i was a
00:42:40dental hygienist
00:42:40in nashville i'll see you next time girl i lost my job coming out here to follow my dreams if

00:45:44Well done
00:45:45Great job, I love that song
00:45:47It was so cool
00:45:48I feel like you guys couldn't possibly be more different
00:45:52Natasha, this song may be a little more in your zone
00:45:55Kendra, it still showed me things about your voice
00:45:58I would want to hear
00:45:59It's gonna be a tough one
00:46:00And it really just boils down to preference
00:46:02I don't know what to tell you, John
00:46:03I'm sorry, man
00:46:04Useless
00:46:04Useless
00:46:05I'm useless
00:46:07Kendra, you are ready to release the firecrackers
00:46:11Like that little rasp in your voice
00:46:13There is a level of feistiness
00:46:15Thank you so much
00:46:16And Natasha like
00:46:17You just have more of a smoothness to your voice
00:46:19And an ease to it
00:46:20I would lean towards Kendra a little bit more
00:46:24Thank you coaches
00:46:26Alright, John, give us some thoughts on the battle please
00:46:29Kendra came to us singing Little Big Town
00:46:31But I told her she's a very soulful singer
00:46:34Like I hear that edge in her voice
00:46:36And then Natasha, you're very smooth, very sultry
00:46:41Well done both of you
00:46:43John, who is the winner of this battle?
00:46:48The winner of this battle is Natasha
00:46:53Natasha, congratulations
00:46:55Kendra and Natasha
00:46:56They both sounded great
00:46:58And I just slightly prefer Natasha's approach
00:47:01Well done
00:47:02I love the subtleties in her voice
00:47:06It has this smoothness that I really appreciate
00:47:08Thank you so much
00:47:09Well done
00:47:09I'm so excited for the knockouts
00:47:11Because that's when they choose their own song again
00:47:14We really get to start to round out our image of these artists
00:47:18And what their taste is
00:47:20And what style they want to sing
00:47:21So I'm really excited to see Natasha
00:47:32Welcome back to the Battles
00:47:35Hi
00:47:35Hi
00:47:36Hi
00:47:36I'm Jennifer
00:47:37Oh my God, the one and only
00:47:38Kelly told me
00:47:39And she said, can you come see about my fabulous team?
00:47:42Woo
00:47:42You are in great hands
00:47:44Yes
00:47:44Because I was once a coach
00:47:47Oh yeah
00:47:47On The Voice
00:47:48She's beautiful
00:47:49Am I cute?
00:47:50Oh my God, you're great
00:47:50And I doing okay?
00:47:51Yeah, yeah, yeah
00:47:52Kelly told me you can really sing
00:47:54We gotta make her proud
00:47:55Yeah
00:47:55Yeah
00:47:56All right
00:47:56Go take away Cha Cha
00:47:58A kiss
00:47:59A touch
00:48:00Aaron and Jonah
00:48:02They're singing the first time from Damiano Davis
00:48:04Kelly picked this song because it's relatively new
00:48:07And she thought this song would be a big challenge for them
00:48:10And I think she's right
00:48:11Their powerhouse voice is from two completely different genres
00:48:16You have rock and the stage world
00:48:18First time we met
00:48:21Which is an interesting mashup
00:48:22But they both have range that does not end
00:48:25Which makes it, oof, a competition
00:48:28First time we met
00:48:32I ain't got no shoes so I had to throw the paper
00:48:34I love that
00:48:36Jonah
00:48:36Yeah
00:48:36You're so captivating to watch
00:48:39Thank you
00:48:39You see the story
00:48:40As you're singing it
00:48:41And you're creating that picture
00:48:43Thank you
00:48:43I know Kelly wanted to hear you venture off into, like, rock and, you know, outside of classical or opera.
00:48:49Would you say that is a challenge for you?
00:48:51Oh, 1,000 percent, yeah.
00:48:52Because my first song was more like an Italian poppera and Gervatelli-style song.
00:48:58Just sing.
00:48:58Okay.
00:48:59Don't think about it.
00:49:00As my grandmama would say, stay in flat foot and sing because you have the gift naturally.
00:49:04I miss Kelly, but, oh, my God, J-Hud is my happy place.
00:49:09She was saying to me, I'm okay.
00:49:10I can trust myself.
00:49:11I had three to four jobs.
00:49:13I've been singing at weddings, funerals.
00:49:16Sounds a little grim, but everything that I've been doing has been leading up to this moment.
00:49:20And as beautiful as a voice as Erin's is, that's not my voice.
00:49:24And I am happy to show them what I can do with my voice in this song.
00:49:27And then for you, Erin, all you got to do is know the song.
00:49:30Let it just be the wind beneath your wings, okay?
00:49:32Yeah.
00:49:32Because you want to perform it, become it, and you want the people to feel like, I could do anything.
00:49:38Oh, my God, you know?
00:49:40But somewhere in there, Erin, you need to find a way to get yourself a good little note.
00:49:44It's going to take it to another level.
00:49:46This is a competition.
00:49:48You got to let him know, baby, I am still here.
00:49:50There is a magnetism about Jennifer Hudson, and she reminded me this is a competition.
00:49:54I performed in all 50 states and all throughout the world.
00:49:57If I lose the battle, I'll definitely be disappointed.
00:50:00Jonah's an amazing performer.
00:50:01He has a great voice.
00:50:02And there really isn't anyone else like him in this competition.
00:50:05Time to step it up a little bit.
00:50:06Be you, both of you, to the fullest, because what?
00:50:10That's what got you here.
00:50:11Amen.
00:50:12Erin and Jonah.
00:50:13It is going to be a true battle for Kelly.
00:50:16And I'm glad I'm not Kelly.
00:50:18Okay?
00:50:19Let the competition begin.
00:50:22Battling now from Team Kelly, Erin LaVigny versus Jonah Mayer.
00:50:32Yeah.
00:50:35This battle starts now.
00:50:43I thought my heart had felt it all.
00:50:51I swam for miles across the ocean, never been as sure.
00:50:59My eyes were closed, my eyes were low, I was just getting drunk on peels and potions, craving something more.
00:51:15Traveled the world, but it got me nowhere, nothing could ever compare.
00:51:22A kiss, a touch, a summery, crying, all the jokes, I've done it.
00:51:27That couldn't get me higher than the first time we met.
00:51:32There's nothing like the first time we met.
00:51:36Yeah, I crashed my car.
00:51:39Oh, baby, I was flying and I talked to God.
00:51:43He couldn't get me higher than the first time we met.
00:51:47There's nothing like the first time we met.
00:51:56You set the room on fire.
00:52:00You take the angels higher.
00:52:04I heard a thousand choirs.
00:52:08Oh, baby, you ain't seen nothing yet.
00:52:12Traveled the world, it got me nowhere.
00:52:15Nothing could ever compare.
00:52:18A kiss, a touch, a song that made me cry
00:52:21And the drugs I've done could never get me higher
00:52:25Than the first time we met
00:52:28There's nothing like the first time we met
00:52:32I pressed my car, oh baby I was flying
00:52:36And I talked to God, it could've given me higher
00:52:40Than the first time we met
00:52:43There's nothing like the first time
00:52:46The first time we met
00:52:53The first time we met
00:53:00The first time we met
00:53:09Yeah!
00:53:11You got it, buddy.
00:53:12All right, fellas!
00:53:13Hello!
00:53:14It was great, the energy was amazing
00:53:16Honestly, like a lot of this game of singing is performance
00:53:19If you can't kind of go for it
00:53:21Then you won't be able to succeed in this business
00:53:23But I also think that there's this weird balance you have to strike between
00:53:26Having that energy that I know you guys had
00:53:29And also containing it enough to maintain control of your instrument
00:53:34And that sounds so lame
00:53:36But what I was thinking the whole time was like
00:53:38I wish we could like get our breathing under control right now
00:53:41So I could hear some more that you guys have to offer
00:53:43Because you guys are both really powerful singers
00:53:44Yeah, I think both of you when you hit those big glorious high notes
00:53:48That's what I love
00:53:49I just feel like Jonah's opera angle
00:53:53We could explore his strengths in the competition
00:53:58Thank you, coaches!
00:53:59All right, Kelly, got a tough decision here in a minute
00:54:02Give us some thoughts on the battle first, please
00:54:03You're both like firecrackers
00:54:06And I think both of you equally had some pitch issues
00:54:11But Aaron, man, I mean, we all heard it
00:54:13That note that you went up for
00:54:15That's incredible
00:54:16Your range is incredible
00:54:17And then even Jonah, whenever you went for your big notes
00:54:20You have this roundness that just fills the space
00:54:24You got a tough decision here
00:54:25Who is the winner of this battle?
00:54:27I'm gonna have to go on what I think will stand out a little more in the end
00:54:32So the winner of this battle is Jonah
00:54:36Jonah! Congratulations!
00:54:38They both are very talented
00:54:39But there is something very special to me about Jonah
00:54:41I feel like he had a little bit more edge than Aaron
00:54:44Jonah's special
00:54:45I like his energy
00:54:46I'm so excited!
00:54:48Woo!
00:54:50That's Jonah
00:54:51I think that's Jonah, yeah
00:54:52That's Jonah
00:54:54He's a firecracker
00:55:05Welcome back!
00:55:07I don't know about you, I'm feeling kind of nervous
00:55:09Like just with these doors right now
00:55:10I'm like, okay, so it's real, I got it
00:55:12Yeah, I wasn't really feeling nervous
00:55:14Now I'm like, this is keeping it a little bit
00:55:17Yeah
00:55:18So I want to introduce you to Ashley and Syd
00:55:20Ashley did a kind of country pop, country rock vibe
00:55:23There's pictures of you and I on the walls around me
00:55:29We heard your tone, the way you jump between different parts of your voice
00:55:33And the fact that you're doing all that at the age of 18 is just so impressive
00:55:37And then Syd is like a whaler
00:55:40She sang, uh, Jessie J, which is not easy
00:55:44Well there is something going down
00:55:49Like the storm in the sky
00:55:51Did you just win the voice?
00:55:53Is the voice over?
00:55:54My team is full?
00:55:56I'm so angry
00:55:57I literally have one spot left on my team
00:56:00You were sent from heaven, Syd, to fill that final spot
00:56:04And you can win this competition
00:56:08So, we'll see
00:56:09I'm excited
00:56:10Yeah, let's go
00:56:11Let's go
00:56:12Ashley and Syd, you know, I felt like they would both give me a powerful, big pop diva performance
00:56:18And I gave them the mother of all pop diva performances with a really classic Mariah Carey song called Love
00:56:26Takes Time
00:56:27This song is sedoozy
00:56:29I can't wait to hear what you do with it
00:56:31Definitely
00:56:32This is the voice
00:56:33I want y'all to come out here and flex on them
00:56:36I don't wanna be
00:56:39Mariah has that belty chest voice
00:56:42She's got a deep lower register as well
00:56:45And I think both Syd and Ashley have those things
00:56:48I love when Ashley's doing the attitude
00:56:52And Syd, it's like her tone just hits you in the face
00:56:57I mean, every time they sang together, I kept getting chills
00:57:00All right
00:57:01This is amazing
00:57:03It's really good
00:57:04It's like, you're super passionate
00:57:05You have attitude
00:57:06Like I love when you like
00:57:08You can do it
00:57:09Yeah
00:57:10When you do that super long high note
00:57:12Just take it back a little
00:57:13Okay
00:57:13Just to let the lead
00:57:14Cause she's really doing the lead at that point
00:57:16Yeah
00:57:17So it's not too clashing, you know
00:57:19Yeah
00:57:19It feels very humbling to learn from people with such out of this world talent
00:57:26I'm like pinching myself by like going home and sobbing
00:57:30I've been a wedding singer now for about three years
00:57:34It's so fun, it's like I don't even go to work, which is so cool
00:57:37The voice is a really big step for me
00:57:40Just so people can see me as an artist
00:57:44Winning this battle would prove to myself that you're here for a reason
00:57:47And you just gotta keep going
00:57:49Ashley, my main advice would be just thinking about how you transition between your head voice and your chest voice
00:57:55Cause it felt a little bit disjointed
00:57:57And maybe just decide stay in my chest voice cause it'll be easier to keep it smooth
00:58:01Sure, thank you
00:58:03Can we do
00:58:03I don't wanna be there
00:58:05I don't wanna be there
00:58:07Unison with the harmony at the end
00:58:09So sit first
00:58:10I don't wanna be there
00:58:13I don't wanna be there
00:58:14And then together
00:58:15I don't wanna be there
00:58:19Oh yes, that'd be tasty
00:58:21Taking Love Takes Time
00:58:23And really trying to make it my own is kind of hard
00:58:26It's a riot carry, you can't get any harder than that
00:58:29But I wanna show Jon with this performance
00:58:31I am very versatile
00:58:34And I can go into a different genre
00:58:36But still be myself
00:58:37Now it's just all about getting it into your body and feeling it
00:58:41Like you practice it so much it's second nature, you know?
00:58:44Y'all got some vibes, huh?
00:58:46Love it
00:58:48I'm having a hard time thinking who you gonna pick
00:58:51Ashley!
00:58:53I just wanna see who goes out there and shows the world that they need to be in the next
00:58:57round
00:58:58This song is demanding
00:59:01It requires a lot of natural ability and skill
00:59:05And you just wanna see somebody that isn't afraid of this kind of challenge
00:59:09And goes out there and just nails it
00:59:10Love takes time
00:59:14To hear when you heard it so much
00:59:17Couldn't see that I was blind
00:59:21To let you go
00:59:24I can't escape this pain
00:59:27Inside
00:59:29Cause love takes time
00:59:34I don't wanna be here
00:59:38I don't wanna be here
00:59:41Alone
00:59:46You might say that it's over
00:59:53And you might say that you don't care
00:59:58That you don't care, baby
01:00:00And you might say you don't miss me
01:00:05You know you need me
01:00:07You know you need me
01:00:08But I know that you do
01:00:09And I feel that you do
01:00:12Inside
01:00:12It's over
01:00:16It takes time
01:00:18To hear when you heard it so much
01:00:22I couldn't say that I
01:00:24I was so blind
01:00:26To let you go
01:00:29I can't escape this pain
01:00:32Inside
01:00:34Cause love takes time
01:00:37Cause love takes time
01:00:38I don't wanna be there
01:00:42I don't wanna be there
01:00:46I don't wanna be there
01:00:51I don't wanna be there
01:01:00No
01:01:09I saw the song before I walked out
01:01:11I was like, that is a tall order
01:01:13I love this song so much
01:01:14I'm gonna start with you Ashley
01:01:15I did feel like there were some pitchy parts here and there
01:01:18There were also some really beautiful moments
01:01:20Girl your voice, when it gets really big
01:01:22And you open up that roundness
01:01:23It's beautiful.
01:01:25It is a really beautiful, big old sound.
01:01:28And Sid, I'm still angry for not even
01:01:32being able to possibly turn for you.
01:01:34I like to think she would have chosen me anyway.
01:01:36At least you have an excuse.
01:01:37I was in it, and I still lost.
01:01:39Thank you, coaches.
01:01:41All right, John, give us some thoughts on that battle
01:01:43before he tells who won.
01:01:44Both of you are such wonderful singers.
01:01:47And Ashley, you really do have an amazing voice.
01:01:50When you have this powerful instrument,
01:01:52part of what you're doing
01:01:53is learning how to harness it
01:01:55and controlling this gift that you have.
01:01:57It just takes time, as Mariah said.
01:02:00Oh, like love.
01:02:02And Sid, it is that interesting combination
01:02:05of going to the heights of what you're able to do
01:02:09with your voice, but not sounding shrill.
01:02:11It's a remarkable, like, rare thing that you have.
01:02:13Thank you so much.
01:02:14Thank you, John.
01:02:15John, who is the winner of this battle?
01:02:19The winner of this battle...
01:02:22is Sid.
01:02:23Say, Sid!
01:02:25Congratulations!
01:02:27You are moving on to the knockouts for Team Legend.
01:02:30Ashley and Sid.
01:02:31Both of these girls are really talented.
01:02:33But Sid is just such a phenomenal performer.
01:02:36She hit some of the highest notes
01:02:37you will ever hear an artist sing.
01:02:39And she does it effortlessly.
01:02:41It's really remarkable.
01:02:42She belongs in the finale of this show.
01:02:44She's really special.
01:02:56Welcome back to the battles at Universal Studios Hollywood.
01:03:01All right, Abigail.
01:03:02All right, thank you.
01:03:03All right, thank you.
01:03:03All right, thank you.
01:03:15All right, thank you.
01:03:15All right, thank you.
01:03:15But there's still a lot that I want to show.
01:03:18I want to work with Kelly.
01:03:20And I hope to stay around for some more rounds
01:03:22and learn all that I can from her.
01:03:26The Voice is such a huge opportunity for me.
01:03:28I'm from a really small town.
01:03:29And getting on a stage that can be seen all across America
01:03:32is something that I am so blessed to experience.
01:03:35When I walk on stage, I'm going to be thinking about
01:03:38doing my best, being myself, and making my family proud.
01:03:41I am so excited for this.
01:03:43Who will win this team's Kelly battle?
01:03:46Will it be Abigail Oakley or Julia Golden?
01:03:56Abigail and Julia.
01:03:59Hi, ladies.
01:04:00Abigail versus Julia.
01:04:02The voices are similar in some ways, but still different.
01:04:06Abigail is more folk.
01:04:08Julia is more country.
01:04:10They're singing Rhiannon by Fleetwood Mac.
01:04:13I think this is the perfect song
01:04:15because it kind of bridges them.
01:04:16Can you tell me a little bit about yourselves?
01:04:18Who wants to start?
01:04:20I can go.
01:04:21Abigail, you go first, because she said you're a little shy.
01:04:23I'm a little shy.
01:04:24She told me.
01:04:25Yes, I'm a songwriter.
01:04:27I live in Nashville.
01:04:28I've done music all my life.
01:04:30Tell me a little bit about you, Julia.
01:04:32I'm 19.
01:04:33I'm from North Carolina.
01:04:34I sing country music, but I love everything.
01:04:36Rock Americana.
01:04:37Stevie Nicks is like my idol,
01:04:38so I'm really excited to be singing this song.
01:04:40Speaking of the song,
01:04:41I want to hear you ladies sing it.
01:04:43All your life, you've never seen a woman
01:04:47Taking back
01:04:48You know what's interesting?
01:04:49Abigail naturally has a yodel in her voice,
01:04:52which normally comes from more of a country style of singing
01:04:56that Julia does.
01:04:58She is like a cat in the dark
01:05:01which maybe is why they work so well together.
01:05:05Would you stay if she promised you
01:05:07Julia, her vibrato is special.
01:05:10And then the energy that she exudes when she's singing,
01:05:14it's infectious.
01:05:15It takes the room.
01:05:16Two completely different personalities.
01:05:21They're both captivating in their own way.
01:05:26Yes, y'all.
01:05:28Yes.
01:05:30You are so interesting and captivating.
01:05:32Oh, wow.
01:05:33I tend to be one with a big personality, right?
01:05:36But it's the people who are so quiet are the most interesting.
01:05:39As an artist, take us into that world.
01:05:41I'm big on like owning who you are.
01:05:44And the energy you bring.
01:05:46I saw this bubbleness like you were like,
01:05:48you like you want to just twirl around, twirl around.
01:05:50If that's what you feel, this is your moment.
01:05:53Make sure you're the focal point.
01:05:54Allow yourself to be every bit of you because you're the stars.
01:05:59It's y'alls for the taking.
01:06:00Both of them have the star power.
01:06:02So what this comes down to is who shines the brightest on the day.
01:06:06All your life, you've never seen a woman taken by the wind.
01:06:14Would you stay if she promised you heaven?
01:06:17Will you ever win?
01:06:21Will you ever win?
01:06:30Totem!
01:06:44She rings like a bell through the night,
01:06:47And wouldn't you love to love her
01:06:50She holds her life like a bird in a flight
01:06:54And who will be her lover
01:06:58All your life you've never seen
01:07:01A woman taken by the wind
01:07:05Would you say if she promised you heaven
01:07:09Will you ever win
01:07:12Will you ever win
01:07:19Will you ever win
01:07:22A woman

01:08:01I
01:08:08I
01:08:09a lot with you like you you had like a really nice round tone it just felt really solid and
01:08:15like comfortable and then i felt like that part of the song was weaker for you julia but then when
01:08:21you came in on the higher parts it felt really good and the energy you were giving on stage felt
01:08:25right i'm gonna say julia okay thank you coaches all right kelly give us a few thoughts before you

01:08:37really magical with your tone you both have something really magical about your voices that
01:08:41are very different i thought that you did a good job with the song i do like both of your
01:08:46blinds
01:08:46better i think that you're both artists that really benefit from space like in a song of it not all
01:08:52the
01:08:52things kind of happening at once and fighting against it especially having to battle someone
01:08:57you've never sung with before you know kelly who is the winner of this battle
01:09:07the winner of this battle
01:09:12is abigail
01:09:19abigail and joy are both very talented but abigail is a true storyteller that's the thing that wins me
01:09:25over about her she has this intensity that is purposeful but it's intimate and that she has this
01:09:30way of like being soft but also very pointed i have six incredible artists coming into the knockouts
01:09:36my team crushed it so i'm pretty stoked about today we love you so much kelly oh thank you

01:10:07good time today all right absolutely yeah last but not least kj and mike they're both r&b singers it
01:10:14just felt naturally they would sound great together what you guys been up to man i've been at home with
01:10:20my babies yeah how many babies you got just two just two how old are they i'm gonna have a
01:10:25five-year-old
01:10:25daughter and my son is seven months
01:10:34my daughter was really stoked when i got a triple chair turn
01:10:40and that was validating that i can make it in this industry but you know it's been kind of hard
01:10:45trying
01:10:45to balance school and being on the show because it's non-stop but it's so worth it because it will
01:10:52mean more than the world to me to bring home that degree and that trophy for my baby girl and
01:10:57her little
01:10:57brother i love you love you when i'm at home and i'm in my down time we're doing shows and
01:11:09we gigging
01:11:10making it happen i love it i try to sing every day all day a gig as much as i
01:11:16can i'm real structured
01:11:17i'm really just adamant about taking this opportunity and put my best foot forward
01:11:25making my parents proud is the thing that i live for they've sacrificed so much my daddy was in the
01:11:32military it was a choice made to provide for a family my dad's background taught me a strong work ethic
01:11:39i've been the kid you know who was super creative but didn't like school now that i've found something
01:11:46that i'm focused on i'm really harnessing it to let it push me to work more well i'm so excited
01:11:52to
01:11:52hear y'all sing let me love you written by the great neo performed by the great mario this is
01:11:57one of the
01:11:58great classic r b songs truly of this last 25 years both of y'all are really good r b
01:12:05singers but with
01:12:06really different tones i felt like this song would be a great song for both of you to sing so
01:12:11i'm
01:12:11excited to hear you baby i just don't get it mike has all this air around his voice his tone
01:12:20is so
01:12:20distinctive a lot of guys with that kind of tone don't have the range that mike has so the combination
01:12:27of his tone and the range he has is really exceptional so can we make this thing go
01:12:33and he also has power he was hitting the high notes yeah no he can belt a little bit it's
01:12:38good
01:12:42jj has all of the runs the scales are crazy
01:12:47and his ability to pick where to do it and how he could fit so many notes in one little
01:12:54tiny part
01:12:56and it doesn't sound cluttered that is very very skillful ability
01:13:00oh let me love you
01:13:10yeah that's gonna be really good both of y'all really sound good together and i like the back and
01:13:16forth and i like that you guys were more answering each other than trying to harmonize most of the
01:13:20time that's my new favorite of the day neither of you need to try to worry about being better than
01:13:26the other at what you do because your styles are so different from each other like just be the
01:13:32best you be mindful of what you do on stage because part of how you convince the audience to
01:13:37fall in love with you is just your demeanor your swag the way you physically carry yourselves
01:13:41the tiebreaker will be charisma stage presence all that good stuff don't they call that dirty
01:13:47mackin that's what they call it dirty mackin i'm happy it's really good yeah so i'm gonna give
01:13:53you a little secret when you freestyle singing like the way that we do the rule is eight notes
01:13:59right no re mi fa so latino don't do more than that if you're gonna do a run
01:14:05finish it at eight just count it you know what i'm saying okay that's interesting i've never heard

01:19:55thank you coaches oh my goodness all right johnny got the final decision give us some thoughts on it
01:20:00first this is hard because you guys both are just phenomenal singers your tones are so different
01:20:09from each other mike your tone has so much air around it and it's so like round and beautiful
01:20:15and then i love that vibe of your tone kj like it it's really dope like some of the best
01:20:20r b and soul
01:20:21singers have that and grew up on stevie wonder and tried to sound like him and like that's the kind
01:20:26of

01:20:32great performance and i'm really proud of both of you and i'm excited for both of you johnny had a
01:20:38difficult decision but the time has come who is the winner of this battle the winner of this battle
