00:00:07It's the battles of the battle of the champions.

00:00:11Yes.

00:00:11Battle time.

00:00:12Let's go battle.

00:00:13Let's go.

00:00:13Y'all are on today.

00:00:15I love it.

00:00:19I was waiting for the beat to drop.

00:00:21Let the beat drop.

00:00:22I think these battles are more competitive than ever because it's just a very powerful

00:00:26artistic season.

00:00:27Give it up for our coaches.

00:00:28But we also want to win.

00:00:30Hey, boys fans.

00:00:32Benji Madden.

00:00:33My surprise little mentor situation.

00:00:35Adam is oftentimes my advisor.

00:00:38What is he talking about?

00:00:38There they are.

00:00:39We carpooled here.

00:00:40I know it's cute.

00:00:41Make sure you make a pee pee before we leave Benji.

00:00:44Oh, nice.

00:00:45It's battle time and that means it's time for me to bring in the big guns.

00:00:49Money long.

00:00:50Money long is here, y'all.

00:00:52Y'all always wonder what people are looking for when they say that it factor.

00:00:56What is it?

00:00:57You know, you feel it when certain people just have it.

00:00:59It's like that thing.

00:01:02Man, how you boys, family.

00:01:04It is me, Jay Hudge.

00:01:06Kelly.

00:01:06I got your back.

00:01:07I've been a coach, a mega mentor.

00:01:10You got the double trouble now.

00:01:12Y'all better look out.

00:01:13Y'all know I brought a shoe just in case.

00:01:16The last shoe I threw, the person who I threw the shoe at, guess what?

00:01:20Day one.

00:01:21Will it take a lot for you to throw a shoe today?

00:01:23I can't tell you.

00:01:24It hits my spirit and I don't even know I threw it.

00:01:26There you go.

00:01:32Our friendship is kind of like me and Blake Sheldon if I liked Blake Sheldon.

00:01:36Does your wife ever like, cause sometimes when we're texting.

00:01:40No, she'll be like, who are you talking to?

00:01:42Sometimes when we're texting.

00:01:42Why are you giggling?

00:01:43I'm like, I'm just talking to Benji.

00:01:45So I put these people together, Drew and Jared, and they're both so good.

00:01:49Like, what have I done?

00:01:50You got to let them fight it out.

00:01:52Drew has a cool tone.

00:01:54He's got a great sound.

00:01:55Just a cool vibe in general.

00:01:57Jared, I mean, I can tell their soul and there's a story.

00:02:00I think that there's a country element that connects them.

00:02:05It's really awesome Benji Maddens here.

00:02:07I mean, I grew up on his music.

00:02:09Good Charlotte, that's where I listened to in high school.

00:02:11All the alternative rock.

00:02:13Nice meeting you.

00:02:13Jared, Benji.

00:02:15Good to meet you there.

00:02:16So to get his guidance and to meet him is awesome.

00:02:20We're excited about this pairing.

00:02:21I feel like you did a great job.

00:02:23Well, I'm going to cry though, because you guys are both going to be so good.

00:02:26You guys look cool as hell.

00:02:28You really do.

00:02:29We're just feeling some rock energy today.

00:02:30You guys look pretty badass together.

00:02:31It's already, you looked the part.

00:02:32We look good.

00:02:33We're ready.

00:02:33So this song, um, makes me cry.

00:02:38I've heard you sing it by the way.

00:02:39You have?

00:02:40I've heard it.

00:02:40A couple of times.

00:02:41Have you ever heard him sing it on a voicemail though?

00:02:42Because I have.

00:02:43I sing it to Benji on a voicemail.

00:02:45I gave Drew and Jared leather and lace by Stevie Nicks and Don Henley.

00:02:49It's folky.

00:02:50It's country.

00:02:50It's rock and roll.

00:02:51It's a lot of things you love, you know?

00:02:53Of all the songs in the world, this might be a song that I have the most experience with.

00:02:57I sang the song with Stevie Nicks to my wife at our wedding.

00:03:02If you don't like this song, then I don't like you.

00:03:05I know it means a lot to him.

00:03:07So there's always that little, uh, nervousness, I guess, to perform a song that means a lot to my coach.

00:03:14But this is the kind of music that I love as an artist.

00:03:17So I'm just really happy we got it.

00:03:19Let's do it.

00:03:19Alright.

00:03:21Lovers forever, face to face.

00:03:26The song is kind of what helped me put them together.

00:03:29Country, rock and roll, I feel like they both are cut from that same cloth.

00:03:33I need you to love me.

00:03:35I need you today.

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.

00:03:47I need you to love me.

00:03:50Jared's got such a cool sort of like country, sort of rocky voice.

00:03:55And he has range that I didn't know he had, you know?

00:03:58Because he didn't sing that high in a blind audition.

00:04:00Take from me.

00:04:01It's good to push yourself.

00:04:03And I think he sounds really cool in his upper register, too.

00:04:07That was beautiful, guys.

00:04:09Couple stars.

00:04:10You guys both have your own swagger.

00:04:12I'm such a fan of you guys.

00:04:13I think that for me, you never want to be copying, right?

00:04:16But at the same time, you have to be reverent to the record, too,

00:04:20because it's such a special record that like holds a place in so many people's hearts.

00:04:23The power of the song is in the simplicity.

00:04:25So all of that emotion and power is there without trying to do too much.

00:04:29This is a big choice.

00:04:31It's exciting, but it's also maybe a little bit nerve-wracking.

00:04:34You want to keep the respect on it, yeah.

00:04:35Yeah, because it's such a classic and such an all-time great song.

00:04:39I feel like it's going to stand out if you can tap into where that song in your soul sits

00:04:44and what it means to you.

00:04:45To win this battle, I need to completely let go and relate to that feeling of that vulnerability

00:04:52and that rawness that comes with falling in love with someone.

00:04:56My husband and I got married in 2022, and we are very opposite in a lot of ways.

00:05:01Leather and lace, I don't know.

00:05:03Sometimes I'm leather, sometimes I'm lace.

00:05:04Ben, as a father, is amazing.

00:05:06He is crazy supportive of me, especially my musicianship.

00:05:10I can take the space and the time that I need to pursue what's important to me.

00:05:13And as a mom and a wife or just a partner in general,

00:05:16that's not something that a lot of people get, and I'm really grateful for that.

00:05:19This is obviously an epic love song, and I love Jared, but we're not in love.

00:05:24So where do you go to really sell that story?

00:05:28I don't see it like you're playing a part because then it can be fake.

00:05:31It's the love of music.

00:05:32Like I said, I've sung this song with all the people.

00:05:34And our love of the song is kind of the romantic part of it, right?

00:05:39It's not targeted at each other.

00:05:41Like if Benji and I were singing it, it would definitely be a love song.

00:05:44We would be, yeah.

00:05:44I was going to say, wait, hold up, Adam.

00:05:46I was going to say, when we sing it together, you both do make each other feel even more special,

00:05:52you know, singing together because your voices are so different.

00:05:56It's also not bad if it scares you a little bit.

00:05:58Those nerves can be really good.

00:05:59It's just raw.

00:06:01It's real.

00:06:0190% of this game is comfort.

00:06:03You know, if you can feel good about yourself and then helps you propel what you're trying to sing.

00:06:08I need you to love me.

00:06:11And Benji's good at helping me unlock that in some of these singers.

00:06:16That was infinitely better.

00:06:18It just immediately jumped the level.

00:06:19You guys are already starting to feel that chemistry.

00:06:22Just get lost in the lyrics.

00:06:24The more kind of intimate it can feel, the better people will react to it.

00:06:27Yeah.

00:06:28I got to really focus on pouring more of that soul and that feeling into the song.

00:06:33For me, this song is about a complicated relationship that's had its ups and downs.

00:06:38My girlfriend's name is Chapin.

00:06:39Most of the challenges in our relationship center around my life as a musician.

00:06:44Every weekend I'm in a different town.

00:06:47So being gone a lot, it's very difficult, but she's here to back me all the way.

00:06:52She's the one that pushed me to sign up.

00:06:54So if it wasn't for her, I would not be here.

00:06:56You know, we just gave you the note.

00:06:58And while you're singing it, you're thinking, all right, how am I applying that?

00:07:01But the more you do it, you're going to get locked in.

00:07:03Just keep running this repetition.

00:07:05Ten more times and we'll be ready.

00:07:06You know what I'm saying?

00:07:07We're very excited.

00:07:08Thank you guys so much.

00:07:10The stakes are high for this battle.

00:07:12We're performing on this massive stage for millions of people watching at home.

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.

00:07:37I always want to make my dad proud whenever I'm doing anything musical.

00:07:40He knows I've been working hard at this.

00:07:42And for him to hear that all 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.

00:07:52We're just going to go out there and we're going to crush it.

00:07:58They're like a good looking couple.

00:08:00Yeah.

00:08:02This battle begins right now.

00:08:27Yeah.

00:08:29Yeah.

00:08:29Saying I'm fragile, try not to be.

00:08:34I search only for something I can't see.

00:08:39Nice.

00:08:40Nice.

00:08:41Still I carry this feeling when you walked into my house.

00:08:48That I won't be walking out the door.

00:08:53Lovers forever, face to face.

00:08:59My city on mountains, stay with me, stay.

00:09:06I need you to love me, I need you today.

00:09:12Give to me your letter, take from me my face.

00:09:19You in the moonlight, with your sleepy eyes.

00:09:26Did you ever love a man like me?

00:09:29Woo!

00:09:30Woo-hoo!

00:09:32And you were right, when I walked into your house.

00:09:38I knew I was never gonna leave.

00:09:43But that time I saw you, I knew with you to light my night.

00:09:51Oh, somehow I get by.

00:09:54Nice.

00:09:56Yeah.

00:09:56Lovers forever, face to face.

00:10:02Yeah.

00:10:03My city on mountains, stay with me, stay.

00:10:09I need you to love me, I need you today.

00:10:14I love his voice.

00:10:15Give to me your letter, take from me my lace.

00:10:21Take from me my lace.

00:10:27Sing, boy.

00:10:28Take from me my lace.

00:10:35I love that was damn good.

00:10:37So good.

00:10:39Yeah!

00:10:41Yeah!

00:10:42That was so cool!

00:10:44First of all, not to be superficial though, you guys would make a hot couple.

00:10:47I don't know what your dating status is.

00:10:50Honestly, after hearing you, I think you should be a duo.

00:10:52You sound great together, you look good together.

00:10:54Let's think about it.

00:10:55Drew's married.

00:10:56Drew's married.

00:10:57Never mind, never mind.

00:10:58You can still have a group though.

00:11:00It was really beautiful.

00:11:01Your harmony sounded so great.

00:11:03That was such a great song choice, I thought, for both of you.

00:11:05Drew, I really loved at the top of your range, that little shred that was in your voice.

00:11:11It sounded so cool.

00:11:12Jared, I just decided that you're one of my favorite male vocalists this season.

00:11:17I just love the tone of your voice, like the rasp in it.

00:11:21You just sound like a star to me.

00:11:23You're like the real deal.

00:11:25It was the perfect song, so well done, Adam, for that.

00:11:29It was the perfect song for both of you.

00:11:32How John was talking about your ache that was breaking your voice through, but also the vibrato.

00:11:37It was perfect, and Jared, you open your mouth, and it's like, I feel like I'm at your concert.

00:11:44I actually think the both of you compliment each other, and you actually make each other better.

00:11:49That's why I said the group thing, and it's unexpected, which makes it more exciting as a fan.

00:11:54Thank you, coaches.

00:11:56Adam, tough decision coming up.

00:11:58Give us some thoughts first.

00:11:59This 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?

00:12:08Like, I did.

00:12:09That happened.

00:12:09It really happened.

00:12:10I think it really happened.

00:12:11I pinch myself sometimes.

00:12:13So it made it even harder, I think, for you guys, because I was going to go and be uber

00:12:17critical of it.

00:12:17And in the rehearsals, to be completely honest, the promise was there, and the vibe was there, but it just

00:12:23wasn't where it needed to be yet.

00:12:25And I was hoping that it would really come to fruition in time for this thing, and it really did.

00:12:30It was so beautiful.

00:12:31Thank you guys for really doing it right.

00:12:34Beautiful.

00:12:35Drew, like, there were moments where it was so Stevie-esque, and she is obviously one of the greatest ever

00:12:42to do it.

00:12:43And Jared, Dawn Henley's a beast.

00:12:45It's really, really rangy for a male vocalist, and you crushed it.

00:12:49You guys really stepped up, and you're both just incredible.

00:12:52Great job.

00:12:53Great job.

00:12:55Adam, congrats on a great battle, but the time has come.

00:12:58Who 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.

00:13:08The winner of this battle is Jared.

00:13:13Jared, moving on to the knockouts for Team Adam.

00:13:15Congratulations.

00:13:16I got a zero in mind for you.

00:13:19Excellent job, buddy.

00:13:20Thank you, man.

00:13:21Amazing, dude.

00:13:22Jared could win this thing.

00:13:23Like, there's something about him.

00:13:25Like, he's special.

00:13:26I can't wait to get into it with Jared.

00:13:28I think we're going to have a lot of taste in common, believe it or not.

00:13:30And I think that's going to be really, really fun.

00:13:32Drew, anything you want to say to your coach?

00:13:33I am just so incredibly grateful for this opportunity.

00:13:37And honestly, your taste, the song choice, Jared as a partner was also incredible.

00:13:41And I couldn't be more thankful.

00:13:43So thank you for everything.

00:13:44You were awesome.

00:13:44Give it up one more time for Drew Russell, everybody.

00:13:48I wish I could have taken you both.

00:13:50You guys were both so great.

00:13:51It was really, really special.

00:13:53That was so good, Drew.

00:13:54It was beautiful.

00:13:55Just think about it.

00:13:56Russell and Shoemaker.

00:13:58I'm just saying.

00:13:59I wish I not only had a steal, but I don't know if it's ever been done on this show.

00:14:02I wish you could just be like pairing and you could like pair people together.

00:14:08They really sounded great together.

00:14:10They would brush it together in country.

00:14:12I know.

00:14:13They would.

00:14:14Man, Team Adam is stronger than I remember in the blinds.

00:14:17I just was like, that was amazing.

00:14:19They looked and sounded great together.

00:14:20Yeah.

00:14:21Yeah.

00:14:21We have people that keep surprising us.

00:14:23So that's fun.

00:14:24Coming up, incredible performances.

00:14:36Difficult decisions.

00:14:37You are so screwed.

00:14:39Yeah, I know.

00:14:40Adam, the time has come.

00:14:42Just give me a second.

00:14:43Let's go to commercial.

00:14:44Yeah.

00:14:44We'll be back.

00:14:45I wish I could steal.

00:14:47And the final steal of the battles.

00:14:55Just have gifts of that.

00:15:05Welcome back to The Voice, Battle of Champions.

00:15:11Hi, Carson.

00:15:14Carson Daly.

00:15:19Carson Daly.

00:15:24Carson Daly.

00:15:25Carson Daly.

00:15:26Carson Daly.

00:15:27All decisions are final.

00:15:28Not excited.

00:15:30Oh, no.

00:15:30You can't steal somebody now.

00:15:31No.

00:15:32It's just you.

00:15:33Thanks for the pressure.

00:15:36Oh, my people are going next.

00:15:38It's Houston and Tia.

00:15:39And they're both so good, but they're both very different.

00:15:42I really don't know which one I'm going to pick.

00:15:47It's The Voice, Battle of Champions, and it feels like a battle of champions right now.

00:15:51Father Hilton.

00:15:52Anxiety before I go out, it's just starting to get to me a little.

00:15:54Um, could I have a moment?

00:15:56I just need to...

00:15:58I want to take a minute, please.

00:15:59Yeah, because I don't want to cry.

00:16:06Breathe.

00:16:07Breathe in.

00:16:07This song's very challenging for me, and I just want to be able to perform it the way I know

00:16:11that I can.

00:16:12I'm ready to go sing my tush off, that's for sure.

00:16:14This is a different genre than what I normally sing.

00:16:18I want to show Kelly my versatility.

00:16:21Entry now from Team Kelly, Houston Kelly!

00:16:28Versus Zia Durant!

00:16:30Versus Zia Durant!

00:16:30To win this battle, I'm going to put everything I've got out on the line, and I'm going to hope

00:16:34that's enough.

00:16:35You ready, girl?

00:16:36Opportunities like this don't come very often. Losing is not an option.

00:16:40Show them what they miss it out on.

00:16:49When it was announced that we were going to be battling each other, I was initially thinking like, what are

00:16:53they thinking?

00:16:54Me too!

00:16:55And I know...

00:16:56I wonder if something like that would work.

00:17:00Clyde, is he soulful?

00:17:03He said he'd sing gospel, did he not?

00:17:08Oh! Oh!

00:17:10There you go.

00:17:10Listen, she can sing anything.

00:17:12Yeah.

00:17:13This is meant to be then.

00:17:14Okay, I'm going to put Houston and Tia together.

00:17:16I think this mix between country and soul, I never heard it until we started singing, but it works.

00:17:23We have to come up with a name for it.

00:17:25Ah, yeah.

00:17:26Sun tree or something.

00:17:27So, something will come up with it.

00:17:29I think I am ready.

00:17:33It's me, Jennifer.

00:17:35I came to see about you.

00:17:37Can I give you a hug first, Tia?

00:17:39Oh, my God, please.

00:17:39Nice to meet you.

00:17:40Oh, wow. It's a pleasure.

00:17:41Today, seeing Jennifer Hudson, it was definitely a surreal moment.

00:17:45Not only is she an incredible singer, she is an incredible actress.

00:17:49She is doing things that I am inspired to do.

00:17:54Unfortunately, Kelly couldn't be here today, so she asked me to step in.

00:17:58I hear y'all got a gospel background, both of you.

00:18:01Yes, ma'am.

00:18:01So, my dad, he was a gospel singer, and when he was in college, he toured with a little group,

00:18:06and they would go to local churches and sing around.

00:18:08And then he was in a quartet when I was a kid.

00:18:10I love to write, and I love to be creative in that way.

00:18:12And I think that came from my dad.

00:18:14He put it in you.

00:18:14I love that.

00:18:15Absolutely.

00:18:16Now, tell me about you, Tia.

00:18:17What's your roots?

00:18:17My upbringing is in church.

00:18:19I'm from a small town.

00:18:21So, faith, faith, faith.

00:18:22Yes.

00:18:23My grandfather used to sing, and of course, he pushed me up there to do it.

00:18:26So, definitely, I got a lot of my confidence in church and my, yeah, go ahead, baby, you got it

00:18:31type of thing.

00:18:32That's all right, baby.

00:18:33Go head on.

00:18:34Definitely.

00:18:35I love it.

00:18:35I see Miss Kelly put y'all together for that reason, and she also picked a Chris Stapleton song for

00:18:41you guys because it has a blend of country, blues, soul, gospel.

00:18:46So, put your faith in that, all right.

00:18:49Now, take it away, Houston.

00:18:51The only time we ever talk is when the monthly bills are due.

00:18:58We go to work, we go to church.

00:19:02They're singing Either Way by Chris Stapleton.

00:19:05Kelly knew exactly what she was doing when she made this pairing.

00:19:11Tia has a pop soul vibe with a touch of gospel.

00:19:15Baby, you can go or you can stay.

00:19:21Houston has this huge country gritty voice.

00:19:26But I won't love you either way.

00:19:29It's just, hmm, it works.

00:19:34I won't love you either way.

00:19:38Holy smokes.

00:19:43Don't y'all come up in here with all of this.

00:19:45Yeah.

00:19:46I was very honored to have a shoe thrown at me by Miss Hudson.

00:19:50I need my collection plate now, okay?

00:19:54Listen, this is what I'm talking about.

00:19:56Tell the story.

00:19:58Thank you so much.

00:19:59Because it's so powerful.

00:20:01I would love to hear your testimony and what you're singing.

00:20:05And then hearing your testimony and what you're singing.

00:20:07Where you're going through what you're going through, but you're going through it in your own tracks.

00:20:11Does that make sense?

00:20:12Yeah.

00:20:13The song is so emotional.

00:20:15Not only is it about love and storytelling, which is what soul is about.

00:20:20It's about a deep vulnerability that I haven't always been open to.

00:20:24And there is power in vulnerability.

00:20:27What's the very end?

00:20:28On stage, we definitely want to give it some dramatic, so I suggested the turn away.

00:20:33Right.

00:20:34Like the, I won't love you either way.

00:20:37So how you physically did that, okay, now put it in the vocal.

00:20:41You're contemplating.

00:20:42So let it be a thought.

00:20:43Ooh.

00:20:43You see what I'm saying?

00:20:44You over here, when you do separate, that's what I mean by putting it in the lyrics.

00:20:48So it's like, what do I want either way that's taking them on that journey?

00:20:51Where you're figuring it out like...

00:20:54Either way.

00:20:55So it doesn't have to be collective.

00:20:56No.

00:20:57It doesn't have to be that at the end.

00:20:58Because that's you contemplating your journey.

00:21:00I don't want to go.

00:21:03Either way.

00:21:05Either way.

00:21:08It's like a conversational, emotional ending.

00:21:10Either way.

00:21:11Yeah, I like it.

00:21:12Whatever you feel, put it out there.

00:21:15Your granddaddy, your daddy taught y'all well.

00:21:18Yeah.

00:21:19Okay?

00:21:19They gonna be proud.

00:21:21I'm proud, so Kelly gonna be real proud.

00:21:23Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:21:23Did I throw enough shoes?

00:21:24Yeah, you did.

00:21:25Y'all got some more?

00:21:26Ah!

00:21:27Tia and Houston?

00:21:29How is Kelly gonna pick between the two of them?

00:21:32I'm so glad I'm not Kelly.

00:21:34This is gonna be tough.

00:21:36Just keep in mind, it's a competition.

00:21:39Sound wonderful together.

00:21:40But this is called The Voice.

00:21:43Not voices, The Voice.

00:21:45Now my heart's beating fast.

00:21:46You won't talk about nervous.

00:21:48I got put up against the referee.

00:21:50Come on now.

00:21:50What I do know is the coaches better get they shoes and their tissues ready.

00:21:56That's what I know.

00:21:57Thank you so much.

00:21:58Yes.

00:21:59Yes.

00:22:00That went pretty solid.

00:22:02Who would you pick as the winner of this battle?

00:22:05Get The Voice app now and play along.

00:22:16Welcome back to night two of The Battles.

00:22:21Oh, yes.

00:22:24Ding, y'all.

00:22:25This battle starts now.

00:22:27All right.

00:22:36We pass in the hall.

00:22:39On our way to separate rooms.

00:22:43The only time we ever talk is when the monthly bills are due.

00:22:50We go to work.

00:22:52We go to church.

00:22:54We fade the perfect line.

00:22:57Sing, girl.

00:23:03I'm past the point of give a damn.

00:23:07Hey.

00:23:09And all my tears are crying.

00:23:15Hey.

00:23:16Well, you can just go home like this.

00:23:23Say the word, we'll call it quit.

00:23:31Baby, you can go or you can stay.

00:23:37Wow.

00:23:40I won't love you either way

00:23:50To cry

00:23:56Wonder

00:23:57Wonder what went wrong

00:24:03Hey, Thea!

00:24:07It's been hard, but hard to know

00:24:10Lead through death for so long

00:24:15For so long

00:24:18We can't just go home like this

00:24:24Say the word, we'll call it quits

00:24:32Baby, you can go

00:24:36Or you can stay

00:24:42I won't love you either way

00:24:46Oh, no, no

00:24:48No, no, no

00:24:52Either way

00:24:57We're doing good performances today

00:25:00It's a good day

00:25:01It's a good day

00:25:03It's a good day

00:25:04Oh, man

00:25:05You're amazing

00:25:07You're amazing

00:25:08Phenomenal

00:25:09Thank God

00:25:11Yeah

00:25:13Man, that was crazy

00:25:14You guys did great

00:25:15Thank you

00:25:16Tia, I turned for you

00:25:18I lost

00:25:20Houston, I didn't turn for you

00:25:22But I gotta tell you

00:25:22I was really, really blown away

00:25:24You were a major revelation, Houston, for me today

00:25:26That rasp in your voice in your upper register

00:25:28Especially when you're singing Chris Stapleton

00:25:29Who was like the master of that, right?

00:25:31You really fulfilled a tall order in being able to stay with that

00:25:35And do those big, gutty, high notes with rasp

00:25:38But I'm jealous of that

00:25:39Tia, I love you

00:25:40But I think if I was choosing I might actually go with Houston today

00:25:43Thank you so much

00:25:45You were both great

00:25:46I'm not trying to choose favorites

00:25:47Oh, no, I need help

00:25:47Well, y'all made it hard for her

00:25:50So congratulations for making it hard for her

00:25:52Thank you

00:25:53Houston, I was very impressed with you

00:25:54That higher part of your voice just really crackled in a really beautiful way

00:25:58But I will say I would choose Tia in this battle

00:26:01Not to contradict my friend over there

00:26:03But I just feel like the tone was perfect

00:26:07I loved your runs

00:26:08They were just so tastefully done

00:26:10Interesting and subtle

00:26:12Your tone was just liquid gold

00:26:14I just wanted to listen to you sing all day

00:26:17Like I couldn't see her going home after that

00:26:19Thank you so much

00:26:21Thank you, coaches

00:26:23Wow, Kelly, I can see the anguish on your face already

00:26:26Yeah

00:26:27Battle of the champions

00:26:28They've all been really good

00:26:29They make for difficult decisions

00:26:30What did you think about the whole battle first?

00:26:32This has been the hardest battles for me

00:26:34Because I wasn't able to be there at rehearsals

00:26:37You know, Jennifer, I do remember her time

00:26:39She threw her shoe in y'all's rehearsal

00:26:41She was like

00:26:42She was

00:26:43The shoe was thrown

00:26:44She doesn't do that for everyone

00:26:45That's how you know you did it right

00:26:46She just said it was such a great pairing

00:26:48And so I knew that you could both handle this song

00:26:51Handled it

00:26:51You both did such a great job

00:26:53Like Tia, once again

00:26:54You did some really interesting stuff that was really cool

00:26:56I think that's what's special about you

00:26:58Is where your brain takes you melodically

00:27:00I think is very interesting

00:27:02And not many singers do

00:27:03Thank you

00:27:03And Houston, your subtle vibrato

00:27:05And the emotion behind that

00:27:07Was something unexpected

00:27:09I knew you would be able to do the big stuff

00:27:11But that really intimate stuff was really special

00:27:14And I think just as powerful

00:27:15Oh, man

00:27:17Mmm

00:27:18I am like shaking

00:27:20Okay

00:27:20Kelly, tough one for you

00:27:22I honestly don't know

00:27:23I hate this right now

00:27:27Oh my God

00:27:28Somebody's stalling

00:27:29And you both

00:27:30I know you both chose different people

00:27:32Yeah, we didn't help

00:27:33Kelly, who is the winner of this battle?

00:27:35Um

00:27:37Just give me a second

00:27:38Let's go to commercial

00:27:39Yeah

00:27:39We'll be back

00:27:41This is so much

00:27:42I know, I know, I know, I know

00:27:43This is so hard

00:27:44This is so hard

00:27:52Okay

00:27:53Welcome back to the battles

00:27:55Oh

00:27:55Okay

00:27:59The winner of this battle

00:28:04Is Houston

00:28:06Houston

00:28:07Shocked

00:28:08Is moving on

00:28:09To the knockouts

00:28:10With Team Kelly

00:28:11This was by far

00:28:12My hardest decision

00:28:14Both are incredible singers

00:28:15But

00:28:16Houston showed me in the battles

00:28:18That he's got even more in his arsenal

00:28:20That I did not know about

00:28:21Thank you

00:28:21I'm excited to work with you, too

00:28:22I'm sweating

00:28:23Houston may have some more shoes

00:28:24Thrown at him, y'all

00:28:25Thank you so much

00:28:26Thank y'all guys

00:28:27Great job, brother

00:28:28It makes me feel really good

00:28:30That she wants to take me to the knockouts

00:28:31And I'm very hopeful

00:28:32That I can deliver what she's hoping for

00:28:34Oh, that was very hard

00:28:36I just was so surprised by him

00:28:38I just loved how he sounded in the very beginning

00:28:40I feel like he won that

00:28:41I'm really looking forward to work under Kelly

00:28:43I know I didn't get to work with her this first time

00:28:45So I'm really excited to get her expertise and her insight

00:28:48Got Team Kelly going to the knockouts

00:28:50Thank y'all so much

00:28:52I love the song

00:28:53You have a Spanish song coming up

00:28:55Oh, my sharia more

00:28:57Oh, yeah

00:28:57My sharia more

00:29:00Mi querido amor

00:29:04Having fun?

00:29:05I'm having a great time, man

00:29:06It's like we've just been doing this together for years

00:29:09Feels right

00:29:10Like, almost like we're brothers

00:29:11Like we're bros

00:29:12Yeah

00:29:14Buenas buenas

00:29:15This is Aziz Guerra

00:29:16And I'm about to find out

00:29:18Who I'm gonna be paired with for Battles

00:29:20I got the best singing partner y'all give me

00:29:22Oh, my God

00:29:23I got Jeremy

00:29:25Jeremy's voice

00:29:26I love how smooth it is

00:29:27He's always on pitch

00:29:28That is something that I gotta focus a little bit more on

00:29:31It's just getting super competitive

00:29:32I just wanna make it to knockouts

00:29:35Aziz

00:29:36His baritone voice is so rich

00:29:38He's very delicate at the same time

00:29:39He does everything well

00:29:41You know, he just makes me wanna step my game up even more

00:29:43It's gonna be amazing, amazing, amazing

00:29:45Yes

00:29:46This was my hardest pairing

00:29:47Cause Aziz

00:29:48He sang entirely in Spanish

00:29:50And he's so singularly his own thing

00:29:52But I felt like Jeremy would be maybe a good person

00:29:55And the song helps me decide

00:29:57Oh my God

00:29:58What up?

00:29:59It's Benji

00:30:00Benji Madden ladies and gentlemen

00:30:02Benji Madden

00:30:02Legend

00:30:04Benji

00:30:05This is Benji Madden right here

00:30:06Like I was not expecting that

00:30:07Huge fan

00:30:08Huge fan

00:30:09Seeing Benji was my childhood all over again

00:30:13MTV

00:30:14There was no way you could avoid Good Charlotte

00:30:16I love this song

00:30:17It's beautiful

00:30:18And the fact that we can sing it in English and Spanish

00:30:20I know, I love that

00:30:20It's just you in Spanish

00:30:21Or are you gonna do Spanish too?

00:30:22He's gonna sing in Spanish too

00:30:23Yes

00:30:24I gave Aziz and Jeremy my Shuri Amore by Stevie Wonder

00:30:27Big shoes to fill

00:30:28As Stevie is literally like the baddest singer of all time

00:30:31It's nice when a song comes around

00:30:32And like makes sense for two people on my team

00:30:34Right?

00:30:35It also is great cause it's a challenge for you Jeremy

00:30:37I love that you're singing in Spanish

00:30:39I've been wanting to sing a song in Spanish for a minute so

00:30:43All right

00:30:44Jeremy, do you speak Spanish?

00:30:45A little bit, I'm not like fluent but

00:30:47A poquito

00:30:48A poquito

00:30:49A poquito, yeah

00:30:49Okay

00:30:50I love it

00:30:51Let's sing

00:30:52My Shuri Amore

00:30:56Pretty little one that I adore

00:30:59Jeremy, you can just tell that he's put the hours and hours and hours and hours in

00:31:04It's a really rich tone

00:31:05Yeah, sweet, soulful but deep

00:31:08That's a big voice to take on

00:31:19Aziz's voice I kind of felt like there was like a little bit of like old school crooner kind of

00:31:24vibe

00:31:24Aziz is like the Latin Josh Groban

00:31:26Yeah, that's a great comp

00:31:28Right?

00:31:29Yeah, if he leans into that then he'll shine

00:31:34Sounded good in Spanish

00:31:35Thank you

00:31:36Okay

00:31:37Started off great

00:31:38Towards the end

00:31:41It started to get too over harmonized

00:31:44Okay

00:31:44I don't want to sacrifice energy for harmony

00:31:47Jeremy

00:31:47Being a background singer every once in a while

00:31:49I hear you go into a very safe place

00:31:52Yes

00:31:52Because that's what you're used to doing

00:31:54But I would say like try your best to break out of that

00:31:57You have the license to be freer

00:32:00And not be restricted by what you've had to do in the past to be a support system

00:32:03Being a backup singer is a really tough gig

00:32:06Definitely

00:32:07You're there you know in service of a different record

00:32:10And you know to get to go out behind your own music

00:32:13Yeah

00:32:14I think like make sure you don't hold yourself back either

00:32:17Right

00:32:18And yeah don't let it be a weakness make it a strength

00:32:20Outside of the voice I worked on a cruise ship

00:32:23Three shows a night, six nights a week

00:32:26I don't think you work harder anywhere else

00:32:29I've also been a background vocalist pretty much my whole career

00:32:33And this time it's about me

00:32:35It's about preparing Jeremy

00:32:37The lights are on me, the pressure is on me

00:32:39I want to show Adam that I am an artist and I take risks

00:32:45Aziz I just don't want it to be too chill

00:32:48You know what I'm saying?

00:32:49Okay

00:32:49A little more urgency

00:32:51Everybody's different

00:32:52You'll have something that's unique to you

00:32:54Get to know yourself as you go

00:32:56Right

00:32:56Definitely

00:32:57Gotcha

00:32:58I'm currently studying at Berklee College of Music in Boston

00:33:01Being here is just so much different

00:33:04Right now I'm just singing casually in front of Adam Levine

00:33:08I would love to win the battle

00:33:09Just being here is literally a dream come true

00:33:12Right on

00:33:12Yeah guys

00:33:13Awesome

00:33:13Thank you guys

00:33:14Great work

00:33:15Let's go

00:33:16I think if Jeremy can really step up and be the lead singer

00:33:20You know he's got the voice for it

00:33:22I don't like to pick sides so early but yes

00:33:24I don't disagree with you

00:33:26Jeremy is definitely in the lead but there's been so many times someone's been in the lead

00:33:31Yeah

00:33:31And all of a sudden you just don't know

00:33:45Welcome back

00:33:50This battle starts now

00:33:58My shari amor

00:34:02My shari amor

00:34:03Lovely as a summer day

00:36:37I'd like to have a talk with Adam briefly before we get into this Jeremy and I sang

00:36:44Ordinary People together and

00:36:47My heart was broken after that when he chose team Adam. Oh, yeah, remember that I

00:36:53Get it. Well, that was beautiful guys

00:36:55Both of you sounded magnificent

00:36:57If I were to choose I would pick

00:36:59Jeremy as much as it breaks my heart that he's even on your team

00:37:06Yeah

00:37:09Just have gifts of that

00:37:12All of my gifts online are from the voice

00:37:17I think that you both did a really great job. I loved your runs equally

00:37:21I thought they were very different obviously a very different voices and your voice especially when you hold it out

00:37:26on those big

00:37:27Soaring notes that vibrato that comes into play. It's beautiful

00:37:31Thank you so much go and then Jerry every time you just started afraid it was like

00:37:36Oh, I thought it was an equal playing field. I thought both of you did a great job. It's a

00:37:41tough one

00:37:41I don't like it. Thank you coaches. Appreciate it. Adam. You got a tough one here

00:37:45Both you guys did everything that was asked of you and more

00:37:50And that is always you know, like what makes this whole thing brutal to have to make a decision

00:37:54I want you both to know I'm really really really happy and proud of both you guys for doing a

00:37:59great job

00:38:01Adam the time has come

00:38:04Yeah

00:38:04Who is the winner of this battle?

00:38:07I think that this person is ready now and so that's why the winner of this battle is Jeremy

00:38:20Jeremy is no longer a background singer

00:38:22He's coming into the foreground and I'm really proud of him because he's doing all the things

00:38:26Thank you, man. Thank you very much

00:38:27Jeremy's voice has presence and Jeremy was just so good and so right on the money and just he deserved

00:38:33to advance

00:38:34Luna's on Duolingo

00:38:35Oh, you're on Duolingo? What do you learn in Spanish?

00:38:37Yeah

00:38:37Do you know like colors yet or like azul?

00:38:42Yeah

00:38:42What's verde, Lu?

00:38:43What's verde?

00:38:44Blanco

00:38:45I like the Spanish. I thought he was sweet

00:38:55Welcome back to the battles

00:38:58Drewski, these battles, they've been so intense

00:39:01It kind of reminds me of the 95 Eastern Conference semi-finals

00:39:05That's the year I was born

00:39:07What?

00:39:08It reminds me of my family get-togethers, a lot of yelling, fighting and stealing

00:39:12Speaking of stealing, Adam is the only coach with a steal left

00:39:16Adam has attempted to steal before, but it hasn't worked out yet, you know?

00:39:19What do you mean?

00:39:20I know what he's going through mentally, but he needs to use that pressure

00:39:23Dig deep, hit that button at the right time

00:39:26Well, let's see what happens

00:39:28I'm next

00:39:28Oh my god, they're doing Walk On By?

00:39:30They sound really good on it

00:39:32I love that song

00:39:33The country girl sounds amazing on it

00:39:35Our team is so lucky to have money long

00:39:38I'm so grateful to be here

00:39:40I'm super excited to share my knowledge with this next generation of artists

00:39:44And be a trailblazer and chop down the trees and make the path

00:39:47So that it's not as tough for people that come behind me

00:39:51So, let's talk about these artists

00:39:52We've got Kendra versus Natasha

00:39:55We are partnering together for battles

00:40:00She can moonwalk?

00:40:01She's got to do this in the performance

00:40:03It's all in the ankles

00:40:05Natasha and I couldn't be different on so many levels

00:40:07To where I'm always hot and I need a fan

00:40:10I'm freezing, so I'm sitting on a rope

00:40:13They are so different

00:40:14And I was like, how do I find a song for the both of them?

00:40:18And I went to Dionne Warwick, Walk On By

00:40:21Yeah, Dionne's got smooth and she's got grit

00:40:23Exactly

00:40:24Let's do it

00:40:26Hello, ladies

00:40:28So there's John Legend and there's Money Long

00:40:31This is sick

00:40:32She's written amazing songs

00:40:34Like California King Bed by Rihanna

00:40:38I'm a songwriter back in Nashville

00:40:41For movies and TV shows

00:40:43I am so excited to hear input from such an accomplished writer

00:40:48Both of you got your boots on today

00:40:50We ready to walk on by

00:40:52Walk on by

00:40:54When we got this song, I was like, let's go

00:40:57This is so in my wheelhouse

00:40:58I was like, let me look it up

00:41:01Well, this is a classic

00:41:02And the thing about great songwriting is

00:41:05You can translate it to different genres

00:41:07Yeah

00:41:08Let's do it

00:41:09If you see me walking down the street

00:41:12I love Natasha because she's got such style in her voice

00:41:14It has like a grace to it

00:41:16It's just silky, slinky

00:41:19And I really love that she owns it

00:41:21She doesn't try to do anything that doesn't feel like it's her

00:41:25Walk on by

00:41:28Kendra is so raspy and like gritty

00:41:30She kind of gives me a little Annie Winehouse vibe

00:41:32It just kind of sounds like vinyl

00:41:34Smokey

00:41:35She just sings the melody in a way that is so full

00:41:40Kendra, I like how you broke up the

00:41:43Walk on by

00:41:45When the call and response

00:41:47Don't stop

00:41:48You're not stepping on each other

00:41:50So sing it

00:41:52Can we address the harmonics in the bridge?

00:41:55Something was rubbing to me

00:41:57We just arranged it to what we thought

00:41:58I'll help you like compose something together

00:42:03Oh, don't stop

00:42:07Once you walk on by

00:42:11Once you walk on by

00:42:16That's it

00:42:17That's the vibe

00:42:17I love that

00:42:18It's just simpler, you know

00:42:20Yeah

00:42:20John Legend truly is a master at his craft

00:42:24And how lucky am I to have a person like that as my coach

00:42:30Back home, I was a dental hygienist in Nashville

00:42:34I'll see you next time, girl

00:42:36I lost my job coming out here to follow my dreams

00:42:40If I'm going to win this battle

00:42:42I'm going to need to show John everything that I'm made of

00:42:45Thank you both so much

00:42:46Thank you

00:42:47Both of them are really great at what they do

00:42:50On the day of battles

00:42:51It's going to be about who shows up being their best self

00:42:55Let's go

00:42:58Let the battle begin

00:43:06If you see me walking down the street

00:43:10And I start to cry

00:43:12Each time we meet

00:43:15Walk on back

00:43:20Walk on back

00:43:23Okay

00:43:24And I believe

00:43:25That you don't see the tears

00:43:29Just let me breathe

00:43:31And probably

00:43:32Cause each time I sing

00:43:34I break down and cry

00:43:39Walk on back

00:43:41Don't stop

00:43:42Walk on back

00:43:46Don't stop

00:43:47Walk on back

00:43:53I just can't get over losing you

00:43:58And so if I seem broken and blow

00:44:03Walk on back

00:44:07Oh

00:44:08Walk on back

00:44:12Foolish pride

00:44:14Foolish pride is all that I have loved

00:44:16So let me hide this feeling inside

00:44:21And I tell you

00:44:23When you say goodbye

00:44:27Walk on back

00:44:29Don't stop

00:44:30Walk on back

00:44:33Walk on back

00:44:40Oh

00:44:42Oh

00:44:42Won't you walk on by

00:44:45Oh

00:44:46Why don't you walk on by

00:44:49Hey

00:44:51Walk on by

00:44:55Oh

00:44:56Walk on by

00:45:00Foolish pride

00:45:02That's all that I have loved

00:45:05That's all that I have loved

00:45:06Every heart is feeling inside me

00:46:00Kendra you are ready to release the firecrackers like that little rasp in

00:46:05your voice there is a level of feistiness thank you so much and it's

00:46:09actually like you just have more of a smoothness to your voice and an ease to

00:46:12it I would lean towards Kendra a little bit more thank you coaches all right John

00:46:19give us some thoughts on the battle please Kendra came to us singing Little

00:46:23Big Town but I told her she's a very soulful singer like I hear that edge in

00:46:28her voice and then Natasha you're very smooth very sultry well done both of

00:46:35you Josh who is the winner of this battle the winner of this battle is Natasha

00:46:45Kendra and Natasha they both sounded great and I just slightly preferred

00:46:52Natasha's approach I love the subtleties in their voice it has this smoothness

00:46:59that I really appreciate I'm so excited for the knockouts because that's when

00:47:04they choose their own song again we really get to start to round out our

00:47:09image of these artists and what their taste is and what style they want to sing

00:47:13so I'm really excited to see Natasha

00:47:23welcome back to the battles

00:47:26hi I'm Jennifer oh my god and she said can you come see about my fabulous team

00:47:33whoo you are in great hands yes because I was once a coach oh yeah on the voice she's beautiful

00:47:40am I cute oh my god you're great and I'm doing okay yeah yeah Kelly told me you can really

00:47:44sing

00:47:44we got to make her proud yeah all right I'll go take away Chacha

00:47:49a kiss a touch Aaron and Jonah they're singing the first time from Damiano Davis Kelly picked this

00:47:56song because it's relatively new and she thought this song would be a big challenge for them and I think

00:48:01she's right their powerhouse voices from two completely different genres you have rock in the stage world

00:48:11which is an interesting mash-up but they both have range that does not end which makes it a competition

00:48:23I ain't got no shoes so I had to throw the paper I love that Jonah yeah and you're so

00:48:28captivating to watch

00:48:30thank you you see the story as you're singing it and you're creating that picture thank you

00:48:34I know Kelly want to hear you venture off into like rock and yeah you know outside of classical or

00:48:40opera

00:48:40would you say that is a challenge for you oh one thousand percent yeah because my first song was more

00:48:45like a

00:48:45Italian poppera Andrea Bertelli style song

00:48:48just sing okay don't think about it as my grandmama would say stay in flat foot and sing

00:48:53because you have the gift naturally I miss Kelly but oh my god j-hud is my happy place she

00:49:00was saying

00:49:00to me I'm okay I can trust myself I had three to four jobs I've been singing at weddings funerals

00:49:06sounds a

00:49:07little grim but everything that I've been doing has been leading up to this moment and as beautiful's

00:49:12voices Aaron's is that's not my voice and I am happy to show them what I can do with my

00:49:17voice in

00:49:17this song and then for you Aaron all you got to do is know the song let it just be

00:49:21the wind beneath

00:49:22your wings okay yeah because you want to perform it become it and you want the people to feel like

00:49:28I could do anything oh my god you know but somewhere in there Aaron you need to find a way

00:49:33to get

00:49:34yourself a good little note it's gonna take it to another level this is a competition you gotta let

00:49:39him know baby I am still here there is a magnetism about Jennifer Hudson and she reminded me this is

00:49:44a

00:49:44competition I performed in all 50 states and all throughout the world if I lose the battle I'll

00:49:49definitely be disappointed Jonah's an amazing performer he has a great voice and there really

00:49:53isn't anyone else like him in this competition time to step it up a little bit be you both of

00:49:58you

00:49:59to the fullest because what that's what got you here amen Aaron and Jonah it is going to be a

00:50:05true

00:50:05battle for Kelly and I'm glad I'm not Kelly okay let the competition begin

00:50:13battling now from team Kelly Aaron

00:50:16look in the a versus show the mayor

00:50:26this battle starts now

00:50:34I thought my heart had felt it all I swam for miles across the ocean never

00:50:48barely sure my eyes were closed my eyes were low rose just getting drunk on peels and foshes craving

00:51:03even something more

00:51:05travel the world but it got me nowhere nothing could ever compare

00:51:12nothing could ever compare

00:51:13a kiss a touch a summoning and crying all the trumps I've done it they couldn't get me higher than

00:51:20the first time we met

00:51:23there's nothing like the first time we met

00:51:27yeah I crashed my car oh baby I was flying and I talked to God he couldn't get me higher

00:51:35than the first time we met

00:51:38there's nothing nothing like the second time we met

00:51:43hell

00:51:47you set the room on fire

00:51:51you take the angels higher

00:51:54Oh, I heard a thousand choirs

00:51:58Oh, baby, you ain't seen nothing yet

00:52:02Traveled the world and got me nowhere

00:52:06Nothing could ever compare

00:52:08The keys, the touch, the song that made me cry

00:52:12And the drugs I've done could never get me higher

00:52:16Than the first time we met

00:52:19There's nothing like the first time we met

00:52:22I crossed my car, oh, baby, I was flying

00:52:27And I told you to God that it could get me higher

00:52:31Than the first time we met

00:52:33There's nothing like the first time

00:52:36The first time we met

00:52:43The first time we met

00:52:51There's nothing like the first time we met

00:52:54The first time we met

00:53:17Between having that energy that I know you guys had

00:53:20And also containing it enough to maintain control of your instrument

00:53:25And that sounds so lame

00:53:27But what I was thinking the whole time was like

00:53:29I wish we could like get our breathing under control right now

00:53:32So I could hear some more that you guys have to offer

00:53:34Because you guys are both really powerful singers

00:53:35Yeah, I think both of you when you hit those big glorious high notes

00:53:39That's what I love

00:53:40I just feel like Jonah's opera angle

00:53:44We could explore his strengths in the competition

00:53:49Thank you coaches

00:53:50All right, Kelly, got a tough decision here in a minute

00:53:52Give us some thoughts on the battle first, please

00:53:54You're both like firecrackers

00:53:57And I think both of you equally had some pitch issues

00:54:01But Aaron, man, I mean, we all heard it

00:54:04That note that you went up for there

00:54:06That's incredible

00:54:06Your range is incredible

00:54:08And then even Jonah

00:54:09Whenever you went for your big notes

00:54:11You have this roundness that just fills the space

00:54:15You got a tough decision here

00:54:16Who is the winner of this battle?

00:54:18I'm gonna have to go on what I think

00:54:20Will stand out a little more in the end

00:54:23So the winner of this battle is Jonah

00:54:27Jonah, congratulations

00:54:28You both are very talented

00:54:30But there is something very special to me about Jonah

00:54:32I feel like he had a little bit more edge than Aaron

00:54:35Jonah's special

00:54:36I like his energy

00:54:37I'm so excited!

00:54:39Woo!

00:54:41That's Jonah

00:54:42I think that's Jonah, yeah

00:54:43That's Jonah

00:54:44Told you he's a firecracker

00:54:54Welcome back

00:54:57I don't know about you

00:54:57I'm feeling kind of nervous

00:54:58Like just with these doors right now

00:55:00I'm like, okay, so it's real

00:55:01Got it

00:55:01Yeah, I wasn't really feeling nervous

00:55:03Now I'm like

00:55:04Until this moment

00:55:04It's keeping in a little bit

00:55:06Yeah

00:55:06So I want to introduce you to Ashley and Syd

00:55:10Ashley did a kind of country pop, country rock vibe

00:55:13There's pictures of you and I

00:55:16On the walls around me

00:55:19We heard your tone

00:55:20The way you jump between different parts of your voice

00:55:23And the fact that you're doing all that at the age of 18

00:55:25Is just so impressive

00:55:26And then Syd is like a whaler

00:55:29She sang, uh, Jessie J

00:55:31Which is not easy

00:55:33Well there is something going down

00:55:38Like the storm in the sky

00:55:40Did you just win the voice?

00:55:42Is the voice over?

00:55:44My team is full

00:55:45I'm so angry

00:55:47I literally have one spot left on my team

00:55:49You were sent from heaven, Syd

00:55:51To fill that final spot

00:55:53And you can win this competition

00:55:57So we'll see

00:55:59I'm excited

00:56:00Yeah, it's good to be here

00:56:01Let's go

00:56:01Ashley and Syd, you know

00:56:03I felt like they would both give me a powerful

00:56:06Big pop diva performance

00:56:08And I gave them the mother of all

00:56:11Yeah

00:56:11Pop diva performances

00:56:12With a really classic Mariah Carey song called

00:56:15Love Takes Time

00:56:16This song is

00:56:17It's a doozy

00:56:18I can't wait to hear what you do with it

00:56:21Definitely

00:56:21This is the voice

00:56:22I want y'all to come out here and flex on them

00:56:26I don't wanna be here

00:56:28Mariah has that belty chest voice

00:56:31She's got a deep lower register as well

00:56:34And I think both Syd and Ashley have those things

00:56:37I love when Ashley's doing the attitude

00:56:41And Syd, it's like her tone just hits you in the face

00:56:46I mean, every time they sang together

00:56:48I kept getting chills

00:56:50All right

00:56:51It was amazing

00:56:52It's really good

00:56:53It's like you're super passionate

00:56:54You have attitude

00:56:55Like I love when you like

00:56:58You can do it

00:56:59When you do that super long high note

00:57:01Just take it back a little

00:57:02Just to let the lead

00:57:04Cause she's really doing the lead at that point

00:57:06So it's not too clashing, you know

00:57:08Yeah

00:57:08It feels very humbling

00:57:11To learn from people with such out of this world talent

00:57:16I'm like pinching myself

00:57:17By like going home and sobbing

00:57:19I've been a wedding singer now for about three years

00:57:23It's so fun

00:57:24It's like I don't even go to work

00:57:26Which is so cool

00:57:27The voice is a really big step for me

00:57:29Just so people can see me as an artist

00:57:33Writing this battle would prove to myself

00:57:35That you're here for a reason

00:57:37And you just gotta keep going

00:57:39Ashley

00:57:39My main advice would be

00:57:42Just thinking about how you transition

00:57:43Between your head voice and your chest voice

00:57:45Cause it felt a little bit disjointed

00:57:47And maybe just decide

00:57:48Stay in my chest voice

00:57:49Cause it'll be easier to keep it smooth

00:57:51Sure

00:57:51Thank you

00:57:52Can we do

00:57:53I don't wanna be there

00:57:54I don't wanna be there

00:57:57You want to sing with the harmony at the end

00:57:58So sit first

00:58:00I don't wanna be there

00:58:01I don't wanna be there

00:58:04And then together

00:58:05I don't wanna be there

00:58:09Oh yes, that'd be tasty

00:58:10Taking Love Takes Time

00:58:12And really trying to make it my own

00:58:14Is kind of hard

00:58:15It's a riot carry

00:58:17You can't get any harder than that

00:58:18But I wanna show John with this performance

00:58:21I am very versatile

00:58:23And I can go into a different genre

00:58:25But still be myself

00:58:26Now it's just all about

00:58:28Getting it into your body

00:58:29And feeling it

00:58:30Like you've practiced it so much

00:58:32It's second nature, you know

00:58:33Y'all got some pipes, honey

00:58:36Love it

00:58:36I'm having a hard time

00:58:38Thinking who you gonna pick

00:58:40Ashley!

00:58:42I just wanna see who goes out there

00:58:44And shows the world

00:58:45That they need to be

00:58:46In the next round

00:58:48This song

00:58:49Is demanding

00:58:50It requires a lot of

00:58:52Natural ability

00:58:53And skill

00:58:54And you just wanna see somebody

00:58:56That isn't afraid

00:58:57Of this kind of challenge

00:58:58And goes out there

00:58:59And just nails it

00:59:00Love takes time

00:59:03To hear when you're hurting so much

00:59:07Couldn't see that I was blind

00:59:11To let you go

00:59:14I can't escape this pain

00:59:17Inside

00:59:18Cause love takes time

00:59:23I don't wanna be here

00:59:27I don't wanna be here

00:59:30Alone

00:59:35You might say

00:59:37That it's over

00:59:42And you might say

00:59:45That you don't care

00:59:47That you don't care

00:59:49That you don't care

00:59:50You might say

00:59:52You don't miss me

00:59:55You know you need me

00:59:57But I know that you do

00:59:59And I feel that you do

01:00:01And so

01:00:05It takes time

01:00:08To hear when you're hurting so much

01:00:11I couldn't say

01:00:13I couldn't say

01:00:13That I was so blind

01:00:16To let you go

01:00:19I can't say

01:00:20I cannot say

01:00:21I need some

01:00:23Cause love takes time

01:00:27Oh

01:00:27I don't wanna be there

01:00:31I don't wanna be there

01:00:58I saw the song before I walked out and I was like that is a tall order. I love this

01:01:03song so much. I'm going to start with you Ashley. I did feel like there were some pitchy parts here

01:01:07and there.

01:01:08There were also some really beautiful moments. Girl, your voice, when it gets really big and you open up that

01:01:12roundness, it's beautiful. It is a really beautiful, big old sound.

01:01:18And Syd, I'm still angry for not even being able to possibly turn for you.

01:01:23I like to think she would have chosen me anyway.

01:01:25At least you have an excuse. I was in it and I still lost.

01:01:28Thank you coaches. All right John, give us some thoughts on that battle before he tells who won.

01:01:33Both of you are such wonderful singers and Ashley, you really do have an amazing voice.

01:01:39When you have this powerful instrument, part of what you're doing is learning how to harness it and controlling this

01:01:45gift that you have.

01:01:46It just takes time. As Mariah said, it takes time.

01:01:51And Syd, it is that interesting combination of going to the heights of what you're able to do with your

01:01:58voice but not sounding shrill.

01:02:00It's a remarkable, like, rare thing that you have. Thank you so much. Thank you.

01:02:04John, who is the winner of this battle?

01:02:08The winner of this battle... is Syd.

01:02:13Say, Syd! Congratulations!

01:02:16You are moving on to the knockouts for Team Legend.

01:02:19Ashley and Syd, both of these girls are really talented.

01:02:22But Syd is just such a phenomenal performer.

01:02:25She hit some of the highest notes you'll ever hear an artist sing.

01:02:28As she does it effortlessly, it's really remarkable.

01:02:31She belongs in the finale of this show.

01:02:34She's really special.

01:02:44Welcome back to the battles at Universal Studios Hollywood.

01:02:49All right, Abigail.

01:02:50All right, thank you.

01:02:51All right, thank you.

01:02:51Do all that and have fun.

01:02:52All right.

01:02:53It's only about a minute, and we'll go.

01:02:55Yes, ma'am.

01:02:56All right, here we go, everybody.

01:02:58Last time I was in this room was the blind audition, and I got a three-chair turn.

01:03:03But there's still a lot that I want to show.

01:03:06I want to work with Kelly, and I hope to stay around for some more rounds and learn all that

01:03:11I can from her.

01:03:13The Voice is such a huge opportunity for me.

01:03:16I'm from a really small town, and getting on a stage that can be seen all across America is something

01:03:20that I am so blessed to experience.

01:03:23When I walk on stage, I'm going to be thinking about doing my best, being myself, and making my family

01:03:29proud.

01:03:29I am so excited for this.

01:03:31Who will win this team's Cali battle?

01:03:33Will it be Abigail Oakley or Julia Goldman?

01:03:44Abigail.

01:03:45Julia.

01:03:46Hi, ladies.

01:03:48Hello.

01:03:48Abigail versus Julia.

01:03:50The voices are similar in some ways, but still different.

01:03:54Abigail is more folk.

01:03:56Julia is more country.

01:03:58They're singing Rhiannon by Fleetwood Mac.

01:04:01I think this is the perfect song because it kind of bridges them.

01:04:04Can you tell me a little bit about yourselves?

01:04:06Who wants to start?

01:04:08I can go.

01:04:09Abigail, you go first, because she said you're a little shy.

01:04:11I'm a little shy.

01:04:12She told me.

01:04:13Yes, I'm a songwriter.

01:04:14I live in Nashville.

01:04:16I've done music all my life.

01:04:18Tell me a little bit about you, Julia.

01:04:20I'm 19.

01:04:20I'm from North Carolina.

01:04:22I sing country music, but I love everything.

01:04:24Rock Americana.

01:04:25Stevie Nicks is like my idol, so I'm really excited to be singing this song.

01:04:28Speaking of the song, I want to hear you ladies sing it.

01:04:31All your life, you've never seen a woman

01:04:34Taking back

01:04:36You know what's interesting?

01:04:37Abigail naturally has a yodel in her voice,

01:04:40which normally comes from more of a country style of singing that Julia does.

01:04:46She is like a cat in the dark and then she is...

01:04:49Which maybe is why they work so well together.

01:04:53Would you stay if she promised you...

01:04:55Julia, her vibrato is special.

01:04:57And then the energy that she exudes when she's singing.

01:05:02It's infectious.

01:05:03It takes the womb.

01:05:05Two completely different personalities.

01:05:09They're both captivating in their own way.

01:05:14Yes, y'all.

01:05:16Yes.

01:05:17You are so interesting and captivating.

01:05:20Aw, wow.

01:05:21I tend to be one with a big personality, right?

01:05:23But it's the people who are so quiet are the most interested.

01:05:27As an artist, take us into that world.

01:05:29Cool.

01:05:29I'm big on, like, owning who you are.

01:05:32And the energy you bring.

01:05:34I saw this bubbleness.

01:05:35Like, you were like, you want to just twirl around?

01:05:37Twirl around.

01:05:37Yes, ma'am.

01:05:38If that's what you feel, this is your moment.

01:05:40Make sure you're the focal point.

01:05:42Allow yourself to be every bit of you, because you're the stars.

01:05:46It's y'alls for the taking.

01:05:48Both of them have the star powers.

01:05:50So what this comes down to is who shines the brightest on the day.

01:05:54All your life you've never seen a woman

01:05:59Taken by the wind

01:06:02Would you stay if she promised you heaven

01:06:05Will you ever win?

01:06:09Will you ever win?

01:06:14Will you ever win?

01:06:16Will you ever win?

01:06:20Brianna

01:06:23Brianna

01:06:26Brianna

01:06:30And she rings like a bell through the night

01:06:34And won't you love to love her

01:06:38She holds her life like a bird in a flight

01:06:42And who will be her lover?

01:06:46All your life you've never seen a woman

01:06:50Taken by the wind

01:06:53Would you stay if she promised you heaven

01:06:57Will you ever win?

01:06:59Will you ever win?

01:07:07Will you ever win?

01:07:11Will you ever win?

01:07:12Oh, moon

01:07:19Brianna

01:07:23Brianna

01:07:24You say, I'm Riella.

01:07:42Abigail, there's this beautiful quality to your voice when you get up there and you're

01:07:46upper register, beautiful transition to fall.

01:07:49So I just want to hear more, so I would go with Abigail.

01:07:52But Julia, you did a great job.

01:07:53Thank you so much.

01:07:55Abigail, I loved the verse a lot with you.

01:07:58Like, you had like a really nice round tone.

01:08:01It just felt really solid and like comfortable.

01:08:04And then I felt like that part of the song

01:08:07was weaker for you, Julia.

01:08:08But then when you came in on the higher parts,

01:08:10it felt really good.

01:08:11And the energy you were giving on stage felt right.

01:08:14I'm going to say, Julia.

01:08:15OK.

01:08:16Thank you, coaches.

01:08:19All right, Kelly, give us a few thoughts

01:08:20before you pick a winner.

01:08:21There were moments that both of you

01:08:22were the reason why you're here.

01:08:23You both have something really magical with your tone.

01:08:26You both have something really magical about your voices

01:08:29that are very different.

01:08:30I thought that you did a good job with the song.

01:08:32I do like both of your blinds better.

01:08:35But I think that you're both artists

01:08:36that really benefit from space, like in a song,

01:08:39of it not all the things kind of happening at once

01:08:41and fighting against it, especially having

01:08:44to battle someone you've never sung with before, you know?

01:08:47Kelly, who is the winner of this battle?

01:08:54The winner of this battle is Abigail.

01:09:01It's Abigail.

01:09:03Congratulations.

01:09:04You're on the knockout for Team Kelly.

01:09:07Abigail and Julia are both very talented.

01:09:10But Abigail is a true storyteller.

01:09:12That's the thing that wins me over about her.

01:09:13She has this intensity that is purposeful, but it's intimate.

01:09:17And she has this way of, like, being soft,

01:09:19but also very pointed.

01:09:21I have six incredible artists coming into the knockouts.

01:09:24My team crushed it.

01:09:25So I'm pretty stoked about today.

01:09:27We love you so much, Kelly.

01:09:28Oh, thank you.

01:09:38Welcome back.

01:09:40KJ and Mike, our last pairing.

01:09:43Gentlemen, y'all, how lucky are we to have Money Long here?

01:09:46Oh, we're blessed to have Money Long here.

01:09:49Yes.

01:09:49I'm so excited.

01:09:50She is going to be giving you guys advice on your battle.

01:09:53We're having a good time today.

01:09:54All right.

01:09:54Absolutely.

01:09:55Yeah, last but not least.

01:09:57KJ and Mike, they're both R&B singers.

01:10:00It just felt naturally they would sound great together.

01:10:03What you guys been up to?

01:10:05Man, I've been at home with my babies.

01:10:07Yeah?

01:10:07How many babies you got?

01:10:08Just two.

01:10:09Just two.

01:10:10How old are they?

01:10:11I have a five-year-old daughter, and my son is seven months.

01:10:21My daughter was really stoked when I got a triple chair turn.

01:10:24Triple chair, baby.

01:10:27And that was validating that I can make it in this industry.

01:10:30But you know, it's been kind of hard trying to balance school and being on the show because

01:10:34it's non-stop.

01:10:35What?

01:10:36But it's so worth it because it will mean more than the world to me to bring home that degree

01:10:41and that trophy for my baby girl and her little brother.

01:10:44Dad, she's gonna wear a teddy!

01:10:48I love you.

01:10:49Love you.

01:10:50Mwah!

01:10:52When I'm at home and I'm in my downtime, we're doing shows and we gigging and making it happen.

01:10:57I love it.

01:10:58I try to sing every day, all day, and gig as much as I can.

01:11:03I'm real structured.

01:11:04I'm really just adamant about taking this opportunity and putting my best foot forward.

01:11:11Making my parents proud is the thing that I live for.

01:11:15They've sacrificed so much.

01:11:17My daddy was in the military.

01:11:19It was a choice made to provide for a family.

01:11:21My dad's background taught me a strong work ethic.

01:11:25I've been the kid, you know, who was super creative but didn't like school.

01:11:31Now that I've found something that I'm focused on, I'm really harnessing it to let it push

01:11:36me to work more.

01:11:37Well, I'm so excited to hear y'all sing Let Me Love You, written by the great Neo, performed

01:11:42by the great Mario.

01:11:43This is one of the great classic R&B songs, truly, of this last 25 years.

01:11:49Both of y'all are really good R&B singers, but with really different tones.

01:11:54I felt like this song would be a great song for both of you to sing.

01:11:57So I'm excited to hear you.

01:12:03Mike has all this air around his voice.

01:12:06His tone is so distinctive.

01:12:08A lot of guys with that kind of tone don't have the range that Mike has.

01:12:12So the combination of his tone and the range he has is really exceptional.

01:12:16So can we make this thing go?

01:12:19And he also has power.

01:12:22He was hitting the high notes nicely.

01:12:23Yeah, no, he can belt a little bit.

01:12:24It was good.

01:12:25Yeah!

01:12:26You should let me love you.

01:12:28Let me be the one.

01:12:28KJ has all of the runs.

01:12:31The scales are crazy.

01:12:34And his ability to pick where to do it and how he can fit so many notes in one little

01:12:40tiny part.

01:12:42And it doesn't sound cluttered.

01:12:44That is very, very skillful ability.

01:12:48Let me love you.

01:12:54Yeah.

01:12:56Man, this is going to be really good.

01:12:58Both of y'all really sound good together.

01:13:01And I like the back and forth.

01:13:03And I like that you guys were more answering each other than trying to harmonize most of the time.

01:13:07That's my new favorite of the day.

01:13:10Neither of you need to try to worry about being better than the other at what you do because your

01:13:15styles are so different from each other.

01:13:17Like just be the best you.

01:13:19Be mindful of what you do on stage because part of how you convince the audience to fall in love

01:13:24with you is just your demeanor, your swag, the way you physically carry yourselves.

01:13:28The tiebreaker will be charisma, stage presence, all that good stuff.

01:13:32Don't they call that dirty mackin'?

01:13:34That's what they call that.

01:13:35Dirty mackin'.

01:13:36I'm happy.

01:13:37It's really good.

01:13:38Yeah, so I'm going to give you a little secret.

01:13:40When you freestyle singing like the way that we do, the rule is eight notes.

01:13:45Mmm.

01:13:46Right?

01:13:48Don't do more than that.

01:13:49If you're going to do a run, finish it at eight.

01:13:53Just count it.

01:13:54You know what I'm saying?

01:13:55Okay.

01:13:55That's interesting.

01:13:56I've never heard that.

01:13:57Yeah.

01:13:58I just gave you something.

01:13:59Now I'm going to go back and listen to my records and start counting.

01:14:02No, seriously.

01:14:03All of the hit songs in the main melody will not have more than eight notes.

01:14:09Yeah.

01:14:10Mani's coaching is good because Mani understands all of the ingredients that go into hits.

01:14:15She kept us electrifying.

01:14:17I'm excited, y'all.

01:14:18This is going to be a great performance.

01:14:19This is really good.

01:14:19Somebody's getting stolen.

01:14:20Oh, Lord.

01:14:21So don't think of it like you're competing with each other.

01:14:23Right.

01:14:24Just be your best self and somebody will get stolen.

01:14:27I guarantee it.

01:14:28It's going to be dope, y'all.

01:14:29Hey, Jay.

01:14:30Mike.

01:14:30Oh, yeah.

01:14:31I got legend jackets for you, your team legend for life.

01:14:34Oh, yeah.

01:14:35That's what's up, man.

01:14:36After rehearsing, I feel like I picked the best coach.

01:14:41His advice, his energy.

01:14:44It was everything.

01:14:46Everything.

01:14:47So nice to meet you.

01:14:48Best of luck to you all.

01:14:49We wanted to make it hard for our coach to send any one of us home.

01:14:53You think you're going to be able to pick?

01:14:54I don't know.

01:14:55I don't know.

01:14:56I always wait till the day and see how it goes that day.

01:14:58Because some people just step up when it's time.

01:15:01When the light's on, the pressure's on.

01:15:02And that's when I decide.

01:15:04Because based on rehearsal, I could go either way.

01:15:13Welcome back to The Voice Battle of Champions.

01:15:18It's the last battle.

01:15:20It's been such a fun battle round.

01:15:21I'm excited for the knockouts now.

01:15:25There's my team coming.

01:15:28This is the guy that wore the suit that you liked.

01:15:32Wait, KJ's going to be good, too.

01:15:33They were both really good.

01:15:35Oh, my God, Mario?

01:15:36I haven't heard this song in a long time.

01:15:38It's such a great song.

01:15:39KJ Willis!

01:15:40Mike Steele!

01:15:42The guys look clean!

01:15:44The fits are nice.

01:15:46Let the battle begin.

01:15:50Mmm, yeah.

01:15:53Ooh, yeah.

01:15:56Mmm, mmm, mmm.

01:15:59Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:16:02Baby, I just don't get it.

01:16:04Do you enjoy being hurt?

01:16:07I know you smell the perfume, the makeup on dessert.

01:16:12You don't believe your stories.

01:16:14You know that they're all lies.

01:16:16As bad as you are.

01:16:19Stick around.

01:16:20And I just don't know why.

01:16:21Cause if I was your man.

01:16:23Baby, you.

01:16:24You never worry about.

01:16:26What I do.

01:16:26And I be coming home.

01:16:28Back to you.

01:16:29Every night.

01:16:30Doing your right.

01:16:32You're the type of one.

01:16:33You deserve good things.

01:16:34This full of diamonds.

01:16:35Handful of rings.

01:16:37Baby, you're the star.

01:16:38And I just wanna show you who you are.

01:16:40You said let me love you.

01:16:43Let me be the one to give you away.

01:16:46Everything you want and need.

01:16:50Yeah.

01:16:50Oh, baby.

01:16:51Good love and protection.

01:16:52No.

01:16:53Make me your selection.

01:16:55Show you the way love's supposed to be.

01:17:00Baby, you select me.

01:17:03You deserve better, girl.

01:17:05You know you deserve better.

01:17:08Couldn't be together, girl.

01:17:11Couldn't be together, girl.

01:17:17Hey, can we make this thing go?

01:17:21Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

01:17:26I'm gonna be the one to give you everything you want and need.

01:17:33Yeah.

01:17:33Baby, good love and protection.

01:17:36Make me your selection.

01:17:39Show you the way love's supposed to be.

01:17:43Yeah.

01:17:44Yeah.

01:17:44Love you.

01:17:46Okay.

01:17:46Let me be the one to give you everything you want and need.

01:17:53Baby, good love and protection.

01:17:56Woo, it makes me your selection.

01:17:58Show you the way love's supposed to be.

01:18:03Baby, you should let me love you.

01:18:06Love you, yeah, I should love you.

01:18:15Yeah!

01:18:16Well done!

01:18:17Good job, girl.

01:18:18Well done!

01:18:22Wow!

01:18:23Yeah!

01:18:24Yeah!

01:18:25Yeah!

01:18:27Wow!

01:18:29That was really good.

01:18:31Yeah.

01:18:31You are so screwed.

01:18:34Yeah, I know, I know, I know.

01:18:34I mean, that was incredible.

01:18:36That was so, so good and tasteful.

01:18:39The whole time I was like, tennis.

01:18:40I was like, oh, damn.

01:18:42And then I'd be like, oh, damn.

01:18:43Going back and forth.

01:18:44And especially, oh my God, Mike, this one run you just did towards the end that went all the way

01:18:49down.

01:18:49It was like, wow!

01:18:51It was so good.

01:18:52I loved it.

01:18:53I thought, KJ, you're a little more like higher.

01:18:56Even when you're doing the high stuff, there's just such a body to it.

01:18:59Honestly, guys, you're both incredible.

01:19:00I mean, great job.

01:19:03Yeah.

01:19:04I don't know which way I'd leave.

01:19:05Thank you so much, Kelly.

01:19:07I know.

01:19:08Thank you so much.

01:19:09Yes.

01:19:09I'm just mad at myself for pairing them now.

01:19:11First of all, the swag that's going on right now with these fits.

01:19:15The fellas look good.

01:19:16They look good.

01:19:17You guys were great.

01:19:18KJ, you were a big surprise to me.

01:19:20I didn't turn for you in the blinds, but you've since then made me a believer.

01:19:24Mike, when you create a moment that makes us all go, oh my God, which was that big rundown that

01:19:29you did, it was the most memorable for me moment of the entire thing.

01:19:32So I think maybe I would lean towards Mike, but it will be a very, very tough choice for you.

01:19:36Okay, I will lean towards KJ to even it out.

01:19:38Because I like both.

01:19:39Oh my God.

01:19:40Thank you, coaches.

01:19:41Oh my goodness.

01:19:43All right, Johnny got the final decision.

01:19:44Give us some thoughts on it first.

01:19:46This is hard because you guys both are just phenomenal singers.

01:19:51Your tones are so different from each other.

01:19:55Mike, your tone has so much air around it and it's so like round and beautiful.

01:20:00And then I love that vibe of your tone, KJ.

01:20:03Like it's really dope.

01:20:04Like some of the best R&B and soul singers have that and grew up on Stevie Wonder and tried

01:20:09to sound like him.

01:20:10And like that's the kind of tone you have and I love it.

01:20:13Both of you are just phenomenally talented and it was just a really great performance.

01:20:17And I'm really proud of both of you.

01:20:19And I'm excited for both of you.

01:20:22Johnny got a difficult decision, but the time has come.

01:20:25Who is the winner of this battle?

01:20:28The winner of this battle is KJ.

01:20:37KJ, congratulations.

01:20:40KJ and Mike make me so proud.

01:20:42You know, I chose KJ as the winner.

01:20:43KJ is such a real singer.

01:20:45Like he has so much range and flexibility in his voice.

01:20:48You killed it.

01:20:48Well done.

01:20:49And I really do enjoy his tone.

01:20:51It reminds me of some of the singers I grew up listening to.

01:20:53I'm excited to see what KJ will do next.

01:20:55I wish I could see him.

01:20:57I wish I could see him.

01:20:57Because I'm reminded that Mike's available to Steele.

01:20:58Mike, anything you want to say to John?

01:21:02Man, I'm so grateful to be here.

01:21:04I thank you for turning your chair around for me.

01:21:06I can truly say, you know, it's a dream come true, for sure.

01:21:09Whoa, hold everything!

01:21:11We got a Steele!

01:21:14It's a Steele for Mike Steele!

01:21:17Adam uses his one and only Steele for Mike.

01:21:20Adam, talk to us.

01:21:21Man, I really did think he was going to pick you.

01:21:23And when he didn't, I was so shook.

01:21:25I was like, that means, like, I could have him on my team?

01:21:28Like, I was so surprised.

01:21:30There's a tone in your voice that I love.

01:21:33So, man, welcome to my team.

01:21:35Yeah.

01:21:36Go meet your new coach, Mike.

01:21:38Congratulations!

01:21:39Adam Levine steals Mike from John!

01:21:42I'm a Mike fan.

01:21:44I turned for Mike in the Blind.

01:21:45I thought Mike won that one,

01:21:46so it was really kind of easy to try and steal him.

01:21:48Mike adds definitely a facet that I do not have,

01:21:51which is a really strong male vocalist

01:21:53in the kind of R&B vein,

01:21:56and I'm just really happy he's on my team.

01:21:58Man, that was a good one!

01:22:00I was surprised.

01:22:01What do you want with Mike?

01:22:02What I want to learn from you, Adam.

01:22:03Everything.

01:22:03He wants to learn everything.

01:22:07Yo, we're gonna have fun, man.

01:22:08I missed you the first time,

01:22:09but I got you the second time.

01:22:10Most definitely.

01:22:11Yeah, man.

01:22:12Yes, sir. Let's go.

01:22:13All right, man.

01:22:14See you soon.

01:22:17Oh, man, that's crazy.

01:22:19That's crazy.

01:22:21That's it, friends.

01:22:22That's the last battle.

01:22:24Did y'all enjoy yourselves?

01:22:25Good music.

01:22:30Yeah.

01:22:32Who needs score?

01:22:38Get ready for this, y'all.

01:22:40I'm super excited for knockouts.

01:22:41Let's go.

01:22:42I think the knockouts

01:22:43are gonna be so competitive.

01:22:45Oh, my God!

01:22:48Look, I'm excited to work with my whole team

01:22:49because I didn't get to work with them

01:22:51in the battles.

01:22:51Dude!

01:22:52I love my mega mentor.

01:22:54And we have some twists and turns coming our way.

01:22:58CeeLo Green!

01:23:02CeeLo's a wizard.

01:23:03A wizard?

01:23:04He's a wild man.

01:23:05I was born to win.

01:23:08Damn, man.

01:23:08RULU.

01:23:12All this is all.

01:23:13No, man.

01:23:13I'm sorry!

01:23:14No, no, no...

01:23:25A record of the game is just coming out.

01:23:26It must be much more.

01:23:26No, no, no.

01:23:26Sancti!

01:23:27I'll be the first.

01:23:27Well, no, no!

01:23:27It must be in trouble!

01:23:27No, no, no...

01:23:27It must be a troll.

01:23:27No, no, no.

01:23:28No, no, no.

01:23:28Absolutely.

01:23:28And we can't...

01:23:28No, no, no, no, no!
