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.

00:08:16Cheers!

00:08:17Is love so fragile and a heart so hollow?

00:08:23A shadow of the world is impossible to follow.

00:08:28Yeah.

00:08:29You're saying I'm fragile and try not to be.

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

00:08:38Hey!

00:08:41Still I carry this feeling

00:08:43When you walked into my house

00:08:47That I won't be walking out the door

00:08:53Lovers forever

00:08:55Face to face

00:08:58My city on mountains

00:09:02Stay with me, stay

00:09:04I need you to love me

00:09:08I need you today

00:09:11Get to me your leather

00:09:14Take from me my lace

00:09:19You in the moonlight

00:09:22With your sleepy eyes

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

00:09:32And you were right

00:09:34When I walked into your house

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

00:09:43But that time I saw you

00:09:46I knew with you the light of my night

00:09:50Oh, somehow I get by

00:09:54Nice!

00:09:55Yeah!

00:09:56Lovers forever

00:09:59Face to face

00:10:02My city on mountains

00:10:05Stay with me, stay

00:10:07I need you to love me

00:10:11I need you today

00:10:13I love his voice

00:10:15Give me your leather

00:10:17Take from me my lace

00:10:21Take from me my lace

00:10:26Sing, boy!

00:10:28Take from me my lace

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

00:10:37So good!

00:10:40Yeah!

00:10:41Yeah!

00:10:42That was so cool!

00:10:44First of all, not to be superficial

00:10:46But you guys would make a hot couple

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

00:10:49Honestly, after hearing you

00:10:51I think you should be a duo

00:10:52You sound great together

00:10:53You 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

00:11:04I thought for both of you

00:11:05Drew, I really love at the top of your range

00:11:08That 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

00:11:16Thank you

00:11:17I just love the tone of your voice

00:11:20Like 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

00:11:27So 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

00:11:34That was breaking your voice through

00:11:36But also the vibrato

00:11:37It was perfect

00:11:39And Jared, you open your mouth

00:11:41And it's like

00:11:42I feel like I'm at your concert

00:11:43I actually think the both of you compliment each other

00:11:46And you actually make each other better

00:11:49That's why I said the group thing

00:11:51And it's unexpected

00:11:52Which 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

00:12:00Is just a heavyweight champion of songs in my life

00:12:03Like I sang this song with Stevie Nicks to my wife

00:12:06At our wedding

00:12:06You know what I mean?

00:12:07What?

00:12:08I did, that happened

00:12:09It really happened

00:12:10I think it really happened

00:12:11I pinch myself sometimes

00:12:12So it made it even harder I think for you guys

00:12:15Because I was going to go and be uber critical of it

00:12:17And in the rehearsals to be completely honest

00:12:20The promise was there

00:12:21And the vibe was there

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

00:12:25And I was hoping that it would really come to fruition

00:12:28And time for this thing

00:12:29And it really did

00:12:29It was so beautiful

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

00:12:33Doing it right

00:12:34Beautiful

00:12:35Drew, like there were moments where it was so Stevie-esque

00:12:38And she is obviously one of the greatest ever to do it

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

00:12:45It's really, really rangy for a male vocalist

00:12:47And you crushed it

00:12:49You guys really stepped up

00:12:50And you're both just incredible

00:12:52Great job

00:12:53Great job

00:12:53Thank you

00:12:55Adam, congrats on a great battle

00:12:56But the time has come

00:12:58Who is the winner of this battle?

00:13:00You know

00:13:01Something happened to me

00:13:02When I listened to this one today

00:13:06It really hit me out of left field

00:13:08The winner of this battle

00:13:11Is Jared

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

00:13:15Congratulations

00:13:16I got a duo in mind for you

00:13:19Thank you

00:13:20Excellent job, brother

00:13:20Thank you

00:13:21Amazing, dude

00:13:22Jared can win this thing

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

00:13:24Like, he's special

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

00:13:28I think we're gonna have a lot of taste in common

00:13:29Believe it or not

00:13:30And I think that's gonna be really, really fun

00:13:31Drew, anything you wanna say to your coach?

00:13:34I am just so incredibly grateful for this opportunity

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

00:13:40Was also incredible

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

00:13:43So thank you for everything

00:13:44You were awesome

00:13:44You were so awesome

00:13:45Give it up one more time for Drew Russell, everybody

00:13:48Ah, I wish I could've taken you both

00:13:49You guys were both so great

00:13:51Thank you

00:13:51It was really, really special

00:13:52Thank you

00:13:53That was so good, Drew

00:13:54It was beautiful

00:13:55Just think about it, Russell and Shoemaker

00:13:58I'm just saying

00:13:59I wish I not only had a steal

00:14:01But I don't know if it's ever been done on this show

00:14:02I wish you could just be, like, pairing

00:14:06And you could, like, pair people together

00:14:08They really sounded great together

00:14:09They would brush it together in country

00:14:12I know

00:14:13They would

00:14:13Man, 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

00:14:21We have people that keep surprising us, so that's fun

00:14:24Coming up

00:14:25Just go high

00:14:26Incredible performances

00:14:35Wow

00:14:35Difficult 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

00:14:43I'm thinking

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 battle

00:14:55Just have gifts of that

00:15:05Welcome back to The Voice

00:15:07Battle of Champions

00:15:11Hi, Carson

00:15:14Carson Daly

00:15:19Carson Daly

00:15:24Carson Daly

00:15:26Carson Daly

00:15:26Daly

00:15:27All decisions are final

00:15:28Not excited

00:15:29Oh, no, you can't steal somebody now

00:15:31No

00:15:32It's just you

00:15:33Thanks for the pressure

00:15:35Oh, my people are going next

00:15:37It's Houston and Tia

00:15:39And they're both so good

00:15:40But they're both very different

00:15:41I really don't know which one I'm going to pick

00:15:47It's The Voice Battle of Champions

00:15:48And it feels like a battle of champions right now

00:15:51Father Hilton

00:15:52Anxiety before I go out

00:15:53It's just starting to get to me a little

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

00:15:56I just need to

00:15:57I want to take a minute, please

00:16:00Yeah, because I don't want to cry

00:16:06Breathe

00:16:07Breathe

00:16:07This song is very challenging for me

00:16:09And I just want to be able to perform it the way I know that 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

00:16:22Entry now from Team Kelly

00:16:24Houston Kelly

00:16:28Versus Tia Durant

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

00:16:33And I'm going to hope that's enough

00:16:35You ready, girl?

00:16:36Opportunities like this don't come very often

00:16:38Losing is not an option

00:16:40Someone let them miss it out

00:16:49When it was announced that we were going to be battling each other

00:16:51I was initially thinking like, what are they thinking?

00:16:54Me too

00:16:55I wonder if something like that would work

00:17:00Clyde

00:17:01Clyde

00:17:01Is he soulful?

00:17:02He said he'd sing gospel, did he not?

00:17:05So Houston

00:17:06Leans heavily towards Chris Stapleton

00:17:08Oh, oh

00:17:09There you go

00:17:10Listen, she can sing anything

00:17:12Yeah

00:17:12This 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

00:17:20I 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

00:17:26Yeah

00:17:26Sun tree or something

00:17:27So, like, something would 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

00:17:37Oh my God, please

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

00:17:39Nice to meet you

00:17:40Oh, wow, it's a pleasure

00:17:41Today seeing Jennifer Hudson

00:17:43It was definitely a surreal moment

00:17:45Not only is she an incredible singer

00:17:47She 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

00:17:56So 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

00:18:03And 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

00:18:13He put it in you, I love that

00:18:15Absolutely

00:18:16Now tell me about you, Tia, what's your roots?

00:18:17My upbringing is in church

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

00:18:20So, faith, faith, faith

00:18:22Yes

00:18:22My grandfather used to sing

00:18:24And of course, he pushed me up there to do it

00:18:26So definitely, I got a lot of my confidence in church

00:18:29And my, yeah, go ahead, baby, you got it

00:18:31That type of thing

00:18:32That's all right, baby, go head on

00:18:34Definitely

00:18:34I love it

00:18:35I see Miss Kelly put y'all together for that reason

00:18:38And she also picked a Chris Stapleton song for you guys

00:18:42It's because it has a blend of country, blues, soul, gospel

00:18:46Now we know

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

00:18:54Is 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

00:19:09And the world will come

00:19:11See, it 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

00:19:33I won't love you either way

00:19:39Holy smokes

00:19:42Thank you

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

00:19:45I was very honored to have a shoe thrown at me

00:19:49By 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

00:20:00Because it's so powerful

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

00:20:04And then hearing your testimony and what you're singing

00:20:07Where you're going through what you're going through

00:20:09But you're going through it in your own tracks

00:20:11Does that make sense?

00:20:12Yeah, the song is so emotional

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

00:20:19It'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

00:20:31So 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?

00:20:39Okay, now put it in the vocal

00:20:41You're contemplating, so let it be a thought

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

00:20:44You over here, when you do separate

00:20:46That's what I mean by put it in the lyrics

00:20:48So it's like, what do I want?

00:20:49Either way, that's taking them on that journey

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

00:20:54Either way

00:20:54So it doesn't have to be collective

00:20:56No! It doesn't have to be that at the end

00:20:58Because that's you

00:20:59Yeah!

00:20:59Contemplating your journey

00:21:00I don't wanna go

00:21:03Either way

00:21:05Either way

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

00:21:10Yeah, I like it

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

00:21:14Your granddaddy, your daddy taught y'all well

00:21:18Yeah

00:21:19Okay, they gonna be proud

00:21:20Thank you

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

00:21:23Did I throw enough shoes?

00:21:24Yeah, you did

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

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

00:21:37It's a competition

00:21:38Sound 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

00:21:49Come on now!

00:21:50What I do know is the coaches better get they shoes

00:21:53And their tissues ready

00:21:56That's what I know

00:21:57Thank you so much!

00:21:58Yes, yes!

00:22:00Actually that one's 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!

00:22:24Bang y'all!

00:22:26This battle starts now

00:22:27Alright!

00:22:36We pass in the hall

00:22:39On our way to separate range

00:22:42The only time we ever talk

00:22:46Is when the market bills are due

00:22:50We go to work, we go to church

00:22:54We fade the perfect line

00:22:57Sing, girl

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

00:23:08And all my tears are crying

00:23:16We can just go home like this

00:23:22Say the word we'll call liquid

00:23:30Baby you can go or you can stay

00:23:37Wow

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

00:23:45Beautiful

00:23:47Yeah

00:23:50I used to cry and stay up nights

00:23:55You wonder 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

00:24:14For so long

00:24:17We can just go home like this

00:24:24Say the word we'll call liquid

00:24:32Baby you can go or 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

00:25:03Oh, man

00:25:06You're amazing

00:25:07You're amazing

00:25:08You'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

00:25:17I 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

00:25:25Houston for me today

00:25:26That rasp in your voice

00:25:27In your upper register

00:25:28Especially when you're singing

00:25:29Chris Stapleton who is like

00:25:30The master of that

00:25:31Right?

00:25:31You really fulfilled a tall order

00:25:33In being able to stay with that

00:25:35And do those big gutty high notes

00:25:37With rasp

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

00:25:39Tia, I love you

00:25:40But I think if I was choosing

00:25:42I might actually go with Houston today

00:25:44Thank you so much

00:25:45You're 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

00:25:52Houston, I was very impressed with you

00:25:54That higher part of your voice

00:25:55Just 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

00:26:22Thank you

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

00:26:29And they 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

00:26:42The 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

00:26:55That 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

00:27:06And 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

00:27:16Mm

00:27:18I am like shaking

00:27:20Okay

00:27:20Kelly, tough one for you

00:27:22I honestly don't know which one

00:27:24I hate this right now

00:27:27Oh my God

00:27:28Somebody's stalling

00:27:29And you both, I 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 almost

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

00:27:43This is so hard

00:27:44This is so hard

00:27:53Welcome back to the battles

00:27:55Oh

00:27:56Okay

00:28:00The 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 team

00:28:22I'm sweating

00:28:23Houston may have some more shoes thrown at me 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

00:28:34That was very hard

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

00:28:38I just loved how he sounded

00:28:39In the very beginning

00:28:40I feel like he won that

00:28:41I'm really looking forward

00:28:42To work under Kelly

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

00:28:44This first time

00:28:45So I'm really excited to get

00:28:46Her expertise

00:28:47And her insight

00:28:48Got Team Kelly

00:28:49Going to the knockouts

00:28:50Thank y'all so much

00:28:52I love this 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

00:29:03Having 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

00:29:19For battles

00:29:20I got the best singing partner

00:29:22Y'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

00:29:29Focus 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

00:29:41He just makes me wanna

00:29:42Step my game up even more

00:29:43It's gonna be amazing

00:29:44Amazing, 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

00:29:54Maybe a good person

00:29:55And the song helps me decide

00:29:57Oh my god

00:29:59It's Benji

00:30:00Benji Madden ladies and gentlemen

00:30:02Benji Madden

00:30:02Legend

00:30:03Benji

00:30:04This is Benji Madden right here

00:30:06Like I was not expecting that

00:30:07Huge fan, huge fan

00:30:09Seeing Benji was my childhood

00:30:12All over again

00:30:13MTV

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

00:30:16Good 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

00:30:23Oh!

00:30:24Yes!

00:30:24I gave Aziz and Jeremy my shorty amor

00:30:26By Stevie Wonder

00:30:27Big shoes to fill

00:30:28As Stevie is literally 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

00:30:36Cause 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

00:30:43Alright

00:30:44Jeremy do you speak Spanish?

00:30:45A little bit

00:30:46I'm not like fluent but

00:30:47Un poquito

00:30:48Un poquito

00:30:49Yeah

00:30:49Okay

00:30:50I love it

00:30:51Let's sing

00:30:52My sherry amor

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

00:31:06Sweet, soulful but deep

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

00:31:10Mi querido amor

00:31:14Eres tu la flor que yo soñé

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

00:32:44Aziz, I just don't want it to be too chill

00:32:49You 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

00:32:57Definitely

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

00:33:14My guys

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

00:33:29But 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

00:33:52This battle starts now

00:33:58My sharia more

00:34:02Lovely as a summer day

00:34:06Alright

00:34:07My sharia more

00:34:12Distant as the Milky Way

00:34:17My sharia more

00:34:21Pretty little one that I adore

00:34:26You're the only girl my heart beats for

00:34:30How I wish that you were mine

00:34:35How I wish that you were mine

00:34:37Por la calle voy

00:34:40Pregunto a todos al pasar

00:34:46Yo te busco

00:34:49Y no te puedo encontrar

00:35:12Okay, okay.

00:35:23Mi querido amor, no sabes cuánto pienso en ti Mi querido amor, podría hacerte tan feliz Mi querido amor, eres

00:35:47tú la flor que yo soñé

00:35:50You're the only girl my heart beats for How I wish that you were mine

00:36:01La-la-la-la-la

00:36:06La-la-la-la-la

00:36:26Give it up, bro.

00:36:32Yeah!

00:36:35Woo!

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

00:36:42Jeremy and I sang Ordinary People together,

00:36:47and my heart was broken after that when he chose Team Adam.

00:36:51Oh, yeah, remember that?

00:36:52I get it.

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

00:36:55Both of you sounded magnificent.

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

00:37:00as much as it breaks my heart that he's even on your team.

00:37:09Just have GIFs of that.

00:37:12All of my GIFs online are from The Voice.

00:37:15Same.

00:37:16Same.

00:37:17I think that you both did a really great job.

00:37:20I loved your runs equally.

00:37:21I thought they were very different.

00:37:23Obviously, you have very different voices.

00:37:24Adeeb, your voice, especially when you hold it out on those big, soaring notes,

00:37:28that vibrato that comes into play, it's beautiful.

00:37:31Thank you so much, Kelly.

00:37:32And then, Jeremy, every time you just started a phrase, it was like, oh!

00:37:36I thought it was an equal playing field.

00:37:38I thought both of you did a great job.

00:37:40It's a tough one. I don't like it.

00:37:42Thank you, coaches. Appreciate it.

00:37:44Adam, you got a tough one here.

00:37:46Both of 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 of you guys.

00:37:58You're doing a great job.

00:37:59Yeah.

00:38:01Adam, the time has come.

00:38:04Yeah.

00:38:05Who is the winner of this battle?

00:38:07I think that this person is ready now.

00:38:11And so that's why the winner of this battle is Jeremy.

00:38:17Jeremy removed out of the back house for Team Adam. Congratulations!

00:38:21Jeremy is no longer a background singer.

00:38:23He'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.

00:38:34Nuna's on Duolingo.

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

00:38:37Yeah.

00:38:38Do you know, like, colors yet? Or, like, azul?

00:38:42Yeah.

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

00:38:43What's verde?

00:38:44Blanco!

00:38:46I 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 semifinals.

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

00:39:07What?

00:39:08It reminds me of my family get-togethers.

00:39:10A 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 a 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.

00:39:24Dig deep. Hit that button at the right time.

00:39:27Well, let's see what happens.

00:39:28I'm next.

00:39:29Oh, 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.

00:39:53We've got Kendra versus Natasha.

00:39:56We are partnering together for battles.

00:40:00She can moonwalk?

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

00:40:03How do you do this?

00:40:04It's all in the ankles.

00:40:05Natasha and I couldn't be different on so many levels to where I'm always hot and I need a fan.

00:40:10I'm freezing, so I put it 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 like California King Bed by Rihanna.

00:40:38I'm a songwriter back in Nashville for movies and TV shows.

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

00:40:49Both of you got your boots on today.

00:40:51We're ready to walk on by.

00:40:52Walk on by.

00:40:53I know she did there.

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 you can translate it to different genres.

00:41:08Yeah.

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.

00:41:15It has like a grace to it.

00:41:17It'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 Amy Winehouse vibe.

00:41:32And it just kind of sounds like vinyl.

00:41:34Smoky.

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

00:41:40Kendra, I like how you broke up the walk on by.

00:41:46When the call and response, don't stop.

00:41:49You're not stepping on each other.

00:41:51So 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.

00:41:59I'll help you like compose something together.

00:42:03Oh, don't stop.

00:42:07Won't you walk on by?

00:42:12Won't you walk on by?

00:42:16That's it.

00:42:17That's the vibe.

00:42:18I love that.

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

00:42:20Yeah.

00:42:21John 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, I'm going to need to show John everything that I'm made of.

00:42:45Thank you both so much.

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

00:42:50On the day of battles, it's going to be about who shows up being their best self.

00:42:55Let's go!

00:42:59Let the battle begin.

00:43:07If you see me walking down the street, and I start to cry, each time we meet, walk on back,

00:43:19walk on back.

00:43:23Okay.

00:43:24Make believe that you don't see the tears, just let me grieve and cry.

00:43:32Cause each time I sing, I break down and cry.

00:43:40Walk on back.

00:43:41Don't you stop.

00:43:43Walk on back.

00:43:45Walk on back.

00:43:46Don't you stop.

00:43:49Walk on back.

00:43:49Baby, walk on by.

00:43:53Bye, yeah.

00:43:54I just can't get over losing you.

00:43:59And so if I seem broken and blow.

00:44:04Walk on back.

00:44:07Oh, walk on back.

00:44:13Foolish pride is all that I have loved, so let me hide this feeling inside.

00:44:22And I tell you, when you say goodbye, walk on back.

00:44:29Don't you stop.

00:44:31Walk on back.

00:44:33Walk on back.

00:44:34Walk on back.

00:44:34Don't you stop.

00:44:38Oh, don't stop.

00:44:42Oh, won't you walk on by.

00:44:46Oh, why don't you walk on by.

00:44:49Hey.

00:44:52Hey.

00:44:52Walk on by.

00:44:56Hey.

00:44:57Oh, walk on by.

00:45:00Oh, my foolish pride.

00:45:03That's all that I have loved, so let me hide this feeling inside me.

00:45:10I can't help but tell you goodbye

00:45:16Goodbye

00:45:20Goodbye

00:45:23Goodbye

00:45:35Beautiful. Well done. Great job. I love that song.

00:45:39It was so cool. I feel like you guys couldn't possibly be more different.

00:45:44Natasha, this song may be a little more in your zone. Kendra, it still showed me things about your voice

00:45:50I would want to hear.

00:45:51It's gonna be a tough one and it really just boils down to preference. I don't know what to tell

00:45:55you John.

00:45:55I'm sorry man. Useless. Useless.

00:45:57I'm useless. Kendra, you are ready to release the firecrackers.

00:46:03Like that little rasp in your voice. There is a level of feistiness.

00:46:07Thank you so much. And Natasha, like you just have more of a smoothness to your voice and an ease

00:46:12to it.

00:46:13I would lean towards Kendra a little bit more.

00:46:17Thank you coaches.

00:46:19All right John, give us some thoughts on the battle please.

00:46:21Kendra came to us singing Little Big Town, but I told her she's a very soulful singer.

00:46:26Like I hear that edge in her voice. And then Natasha, you're very smooth, very sultry.

00:46:34Well done both of you.

00:46:35John, who is the winner of this battle?

00:46:40The winner of this battle is Natasha.

00:46:46Natasha, congratulations!

00:46:48Kendra and Natasha, they both sounded great. And I just slightly preferred Natasha's approach.

00:46:53Well done!

00:46:55I love the subtleties in their voice. It has this smoothness that I really appreciate.

00:47:00Thank you so much!

00:47:02I'm so excited for the Knockouts because that's when they choose their own song again.

00:47:06We really get to start to round out our image of these artists and what their taste is and what

00:47:12style they want to sing.

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

00:47:23Welcome back to The Battles.

00:47:26Hi!

00:47:27I'm Jennifer.

00:47:28Oh my God, the one and only.

00:47:29Kelly called me and she said, can you come see about my fabulous team?

00:47:33Woo!

00:47:33You are in great hands.

00:47:35Yes.

00:47:35Because I was once a coach on The Voice.

00:47:39Oh yeah.

00:47:39She's beautiful.

00:47:40Am I cute?

00:47:41Oh my God, you're great.

00:47:41And I'm doing okay?

00:47:42Yeah, yeah.

00:47:43Kelly told me you can really sing.

00:47:45We gotta make her proud.

00:47:46Yeah.

00:47:47All right.

00:47:48Go take it away, Chacha.

00:47:49A kiss, a touch.

00:47:51Aaron and Jonah.

00:47:53They're singing the first time from Damiano Davis.

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

00:48:01and I think she's right.

00:48:03Their powerhouse voice is from two completely different genres.

00:48:06You have rock in the stage world.

00:48:09First time we met.

00:48:12Which is an interesting mashup, but they both have range that does not end.

00:48:16Which makes it, oof, a competition.

00:48:20First time we met.

00:48:23I ain't got no shoes so I had to throw the paper.

00:48:26I love that.

00:48:27Jonah.

00:48:27Yeah.

00:48:27You're so captivating to watch.

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

00:48:34I know Kelly wanted to hear you venture off into like rock and, you know, outside of classical or opera.

00:48:40Would you say that is a challenge for you?

00:48:42Oh, one thousand percent, yeah.

00:48:43Because my first song was more like a Italian poppera, Andrea Bertelli style song.

00:48:48Just sing.

00:48:49Okay.

00:48:50Don't think about it.

00:48:51As my grandmama would say, stay in flat foot and sing.

00:48:53Because you have the gift naturally.

00:48:55I miss Kelly, but, oh my God, J-Hud is my happy place.

00:49:00She was saying to me, I'm okay, I can trust myself.

00:49:02I had three to four jobs.

00:49:04I've been singing at weddings, funerals.

00:49:06Sounds a little grim, but everything that I've been doing has been leading up to this moment.

00:49:11And as beautiful as a voice as Erin's is, that's not my voice.

00:49:15And I am happy to show them what I can do with my voice in this song.

00:49:18And then for you, Erin, all you gotta do is know the song.

00:49:21Let it just be the wind beneath your wings, okay?

00:49:23Yeah.

00:49:23Because you wanna perform it, become it, and you want the people to feel like, I could

00:49:28do anything.

00:49:29Yeah.

00:49:29Oh my God, you know?

00:49:31But somewhere in there, Erin, you need to find a way to get yourself a good little note.

00:49:35It's gonna take you to another level.

00:49:37This is a competition.

00:49:39You gotta let him know, baby, I am still here.

00:49:40There is a magnetism about Jennifer Hudson, and she reminded me, this is a competition.

00:49:45I've performed in all 50 states and all throughout the world.

00:49:48If I lose the battle, I'll definitely be disappointed.

00:49:51Jonah's an amazing performer.

00:49:52He has a great voice.

00:49:53And there really isn't anyone else like him in this competition.

00:49:56Time to step it up a little bit.

00:49:57Be you.

00:49:58Both of you.

00:49:59To the fullest.

00:50:00Because what?

00:50:01That's what got you here.

00:50:02Amen.

00:50:03Erin and Jonah.

00:50:04It is going to be a true battle for Kelly.

00:50:07And I'm glad I'm not Kelly.

00:50:09Okay?

00:50:10Let the competition begin!

00:50:12Battling now from Team Kelly.

00:50:16Erin Levinier versus Jonah Mayer.

00:50:22Yeah.

00:50:26This battle starts now.

00:50:34I thought my heart had felt it all.

00:50:42I swam for miles across the ocean.

00:50:47I'm never really sure.

00:50:50My eyes were closed.

00:50:54My eyes were low.

00:50:57I was just getting drunk on pills and foshes.

00:51:02Craving something more.

00:51:06Traveled the world but it got me nowhere.

00:51:09Nothing could ever compare.

00:51:13A kiss.

00:51:14A touch.

00:51:15A summoning and crying.

00:51:16All the trumps.

00:51:17I've done it.

00:51:18They couldn't get me higher than the first time we met.

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

00:51:27Yeah.

00:51:28I crashed my car.

00:51:30Oh baby, I was flying.

00:51:32And I talked to God.

00:51:33He couldn't get me higher than the first time we met.

00:51:38There's nothing like the first time we met.

00:51:47A kiss.

00:51:48You set the room on fire.

00:51:51You set the room on fire.

00:51:52You take the angels higher.

00:51:55I heard a thousand choirs.

00:51:59Oh baby, you ain't seen nothing yet.

00:52:03Traveled the world but it got me nowhere.

00:52:06Nothing could ever compare.

00:52:09A kiss, a touch.

00:52:11A song that made me cry in the dark.

00:52:13I've done could never get me higher than the first time we met

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

00:52:23I crossed my car, oh baby I was flying

00:52:27And I told the facts to God that could get me higher than the first time we met

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

00:52:44The first time we met

00:52:51The first time we met

00:53:00Yeah!

00:53:02Good job, everybody.

00:53:03All right, fellas!

00:53:04Hello!

00:53:05It was great, the energy was amazing.

00:53:07Honestly, like, a lot of this game of singing is performance.

00:53:10If you can't kind of go for it, then you won't be able to succeed in this business

00:53:14But I also think that there's this weird balance you have to strike between having that energy that I know

00:53:19you 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, that's what I love

00:53:40I just feel like

00:53:42Jonah's opera angle

00:53:44We could explore his strengths

00:53:46In 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

00:53:57Firecrackers

00:53:57And I think both of you

00:53:59Equally had some pitch issues

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

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

00:54:05That'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

00:54:13That 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

00:54:44I told you, he's a firecracker

00:54:54Welcome back

00:54:57I don't know about you, I'm feeling kind of nervous

00:54:58Just with these doors right now

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

00:55:01I got it

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

00:55:03Now I'm like, until this moment

00:55:05It'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 is just so impressive

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

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

00:56:02Ashley and Syd, you know, I felt like they would both give me a powerful, big pop diva performance

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

00:56:12This is with a really classic Mariah Carey song called Love Takes Time

00:56:16This song is so 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, I 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

00:56:56I gotta love when you like

00:56:58You can do it

00:56:59Yeah

00:56:59Yes

00:57:00When you do that super long high note

00:57:01Just take it back a little

00:57:02Just to let the lead

00:57:04Because 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 to learn from people with such out of this world talent

00:57:16I'm like pinching myself by 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

00:57:33Winning this battle would prove to myself that you're here for a reason

00:57:37And you just gotta keep going

00:57:39Ashley, my main advice would be just thinking about how you transition between your head voice and your chest voice

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

00:57:47And maybe just decide, stay in my chest voice because it'll be easier to keep it smooth

00:57:51Sure, thank you

00:57:52Can we do

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

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

00:57:56Unison 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 is 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 getting 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

00:58:37I'm having a hard time thinking

00:58:39Who you gonna pick

00:58:40Ashley!

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

00:58:44And shows the world that they need to be

00:58:46In the next round

00:58:48This song is demanding

00:58:50It requires a lot of natural ability

00:58:53And skill

00:58:54And you just wanna see somebody

00:58:56That isn't afraid of this kind of challenge

00:58:58And goes out there and just nails it

00:59:01Love takes time

00:59:03To hear you 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

00:59:19Cause 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 that it's over

00:59:42And you might say that you don't care

00:59:47That you don't care, baby

00:59:50And you might say you don't miss me

00:59:55You know you need me

00:59:57You know you need me

00:59:57But I know that you do

00:59:59And I feel that you do

01:00:01Inside

01:00:05Love takes time

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

01:00:11I couldn't see that I

01:00:13I was so blind

01:00:15To let you go

01:00:19I can't escape this time

01:00:23Cause love takes time

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

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

01:00:35I don't wanna be there

01:00:43Alone

01:00:46Alone

01:00:58I saw this song before I walked down

01:01:00And I was like, that is a tall order

01:01:02I love this song so much

01:01:04I'm gonna start with you, Ashley

01:01:05I did feel like there were some pitchy parts here and there

01:01:08There were also some really beautiful moments, girl.

01:01:10Your voice, when it gets really big

01:01:11and you open up that roundness, it's beautiful.

01:01:14It is a really beautiful, big ol' sound.

01:01:18And Syd, I'm still angry

01:01:20for not even being able to possibly turn for you.

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

01:01:25At least you have an excuse.

01:01:26I was in it and I still lost.

01:01:29Thank you, coaches.

01:01:30All right, John, give us some thoughts on that battle

01:01:32before he tells who won.

01:01:34Both of you are such wonderful singers.

01:01:36And, Ashley, you really do have an amazing voice.

01:01:39When you have this powerful instrument,

01:01:42part of what you're doing is learning how to harness it

01:01:44and controlling this gift that you have.

01:01:46It just takes time, as Mariah said.

01:01:49Oh, like love. It takes time.

01:01:51And, Syd, it is that interesting combination

01:01:55of going to the heights of what you're able to do

01:01:57with your voice, but not sounding shrill.

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

01:02:03Thank 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.

01:02:29As 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, Abby, can you do all that and have fun?

01:02:52All right.

01:02:53All 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,

01:03:01and I got a three-chair turn, but 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

01:03:10and learn all that I 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

01:03:19all across America is something that I am so blessed to experience.

01:03:22When I walk on stage, I'm going to be thinking about doing my best,

01:03:27being myself, and making my family proud.

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

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

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

01:03:44Abigail.

01:03:45Julia.

01:03:46Hi, ladies.

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.

01:04:19I'm 19.

01:04:21I'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,

01:04:26so I'm really excited to be singing this song.

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

01:04:36You 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.

01:04:45She is like a cat in the dark and then she is...

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

01:04:53Put your stamps, 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.

01:05:08They're both captivating in their own way.

01:05:13Yes, y'all.

01:05:16Yes.

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

01:05:20Oh, 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.

01:05:29I'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.

01:05:37If 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,

01:05:44because you're the stars.

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

01:05:48Both of them have this star power,

01:05:50so what this comes down to is who shines the brightest.

01:05:53on 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?

01:06:17Brianna.

01:06:31She rings like a bell through the night, and won't you love to love her?

01:06:38She holds your life like a bird in a flight, and who will be her lover?

01:06:46All your life, you've never seen a woman taken by the wind.

01:06:54Would you stay if she promised you heaven?

01:06:57Will you ever win?

01:07:01Will you ever win?

01:07:17Will you ever win?

01:07:29Rihanna

01:07:56I love the verse a lot with you, like you had like a really nice round tone, it just felt

01:08:02really solid and like comfortable, and then I felt like that part of the song was weaker for you Julia,

01:08:08but then when you came in on the higher parts it felt really good, and the energy you were giving

01:08:12on stage felt right. I'm going to say Julia.

01:08:15Okay.

01:08:16Thank you coaches!

01:08:19Alright Kelly, give us a few thoughts before you pick a winner.

01:08:21There were moments that both of you were the reason why you're here, you both have something really magical with

01:08:26your tone, you both have something really magical about your voices that are very different.

01:08:30I thought that you did a good job with the song, I do like both of your blinds better, but

01:08:35I think that you're both artists that really benefit from space, like in a song of it not all the

01:08:40things kind of happening at once and fighting against it, especially having to battle someone you've never sung with before,

01:08:46you know?

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

01:08:52Oh, man.

01:08:55The winner of this battle...

01:09:00...is Abigail.

01:09:01Abigail!

01:09:03Congratulations, you're on the knockout for Team Kelly!

01:09:07Abigail and Julia are both very talented, but Abigail is a true storyteller, that's the thing that wins me over

01:09:13about her.

01:09:13She has this intensity that is purposeful, but it's intimate, and she has this way of, like, being soft, but

01:09:19also very pointed.

01:09:21I have six incredible artists coming into the knockouts, my team crushed it, so 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.

01:09:48I'm so excited she is going to be giving you guys advice on your battle.

01:09:53We're having a good time today.

01:09:54All right, absolutely.

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, with my kids.

01:10:07Yeah, how many babies you got?

01:10:08Just two, just two.

01:10:10Two?

01:10:10How old are they?

01:10:11I'm going to have a five-year-old daughter, and my son is seven months.

01:10:14So deny the truth, or stay behind.

01:10:21My daughter was really stoked when I got a triple chair turn.

01:10:25Triple turn, 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 it's non

01:10:35-stop.

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.

01:10:44Daddy, you're gonna win. I'm just happy!

01:10:48I love you.

01:10:49Love you.

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.

01:11:02I'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.

01:11:22My 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 me to work

01:11:37more.

01:11:37Well, I'm so excited to hear y'all sing Let Me Love You written by the great Neo, performed by

01:11:42the 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.

01:12:19And 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's good.

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.

01:12:55Woo!

01:12:57Yeah, this is gonna 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 gonna 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 gonna 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 gonna 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.

01:14:16I'm excited, y'all.

01:14:18This is gonna be a great performance.

01:14:19Yeah, this is really good.

01:14:19Somebody's getting stolen, so.

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 gonna 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 gonna 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.

01:15:18This is the last battle.

01:15:20It's been such a fun battle round.

01:15:22I'm excited for the knockouts now.

01:15:25This is my team coming.

01:15:27This is the guy that wore the suit that you liked.

01:15:32KJ is gonna be good too.

01:15:33They're 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.

01:15:38KJ Willis!

01:15:40Mike Steele!

01:15:42The guys look clean!

01:15:44The fits are nice.

01:15:45Let the battle begin.

01:15:51Mmm, 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 your shirt.

01:16:12You don't believe your stories.

01:16:14You know that there are lies.

01:16:17As bad as you are, stick 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.

01:16:25What I do.

01:16:26And I be coming home.

01:16:28Back to you every night.

01:16:30Do it, you're right.

01:16:31You're the type of one.

01:16:32You deserve good things.

01:16:34This full of diamonds.

01:16:35Handful of rings.

01:16:37Baby, you're the star.

01:16:38I just wanna show you you are.

01:16:40You said let me love you.

01:16:43Let me be the one to give you everything you want and need, yeah.

01:16:50Oh, baby, good love and protection.

01:16:52No, make me your selection.

01:16:55Show you the way love's supposed to be.

01:17:00Baby, you deserve better, girl.

01:17:05You know you deserve better.

01:17:08Couldn't be together, girl.

01:17:11Couldn't be together, girl.

01:17:11Baby, with me and you it's whatever, girl.

01:17:17Hey, can we make this thing go?

01:17:21Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

01:18:09Love you.

01:18:16Love you, baby.

01:18:22Yeah!

01:18:23Love you.

01:18:24Yeah!

01:18:26Yeah!

01:18:27Yeah!

01:18:29That was really good.

01:18:31Yeah!

01:18:31You are so screwed.

01:18:33Yeah, I know, 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, I was like, tennis, I was like, this, like, you know?

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,

01:18:46this one run you just did towards the end

01:18:48that went all the way down, it was like.

01:18:50It 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,

01:18:57there's just such a body to it.

01:18:59Honestly, guys, you're both incredible.

01:19:01I mean, great job.

01:19:03Yeah.

01:19:04I don't know which way I'd lead.

01:19:05Thank you so much, Kelly.

01:19:08Thank you so much.

01:19:08I know.

01:19:08Yes.

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

01:19:14with 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.

01:19:22But you've, since then, made me a believer.

01:19:24But Mike, when you create a moment that makes us all go,

01:19:27oh my God, which was that big run down that you did,

01:19:29it was the most memorable for me moment of the entire thing.

01:19:32So I think maybe I would lean towards Mike,

01:19:34but it will be a very, very tough choice for you.

01:19:36OK, 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,

01:19:57and it's so 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.

01:20:07And I grew up on Stevie Wonder and tried to 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,

01:20:14and 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.

01:20:38You're moving on to the knockout.

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 steal!

01:20:57I wish I could steal!

01:20:57Because I'm reminded that Mike's available to Steele.

01:20:59Mike, 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!

01:21:10Hold everything!

01:21:11We got a steal!

01:21:14It's a steal for Mike Steele!

01:21:17Adam uses his one and only steal 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, and I thought Mike on that one, so it was really kind of

01:21:47easy to try and steal him.

01:21:48Mike adds definitely a facet that I do not have, which is a really strong male vocalist in the kind

01:21:54of 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, but 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. That's crazy.

01:22:21That's it.

01:22:22Friends, that's the last battle.

01:22:24Did y'all enjoy yourselves?

01:22:25Good music.

01:22:28Oh!

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 are 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 in 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.

01:23:13An Assassins.

01:23:40This is a enlightening effort!
