00:00:05Hey, buddy. Guess what? We made Team Legend on The Voice!
00:00:10It's the battle rounds! Woo!
00:00:13Let's go! Let's go! Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!
00:00:17Let's go! Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!
00:00:20Boom!
00:00:21Come on, sing it a little louder!
00:00:23Sing it a little louder!
00:00:25Sing it a little louder!
00:00:27Let's go! Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!
00:00:30Let's do it!
00:00:35It's the first night of battles.
00:00:37There are no saves, but our coaches have one steal each.
00:00:41That's what I'm talking about!
00:00:43So they've brought in the best to help them out.
00:00:46Action camera, lights, and J-HUD.
00:00:50It is the battle of champions season.
00:00:53Ooh, that sounds intense.
00:00:55In a million seasons I've been on this show, that's the best battle round I've ever heard.
00:00:58Whoa!
00:00:59These are some really tough decisions. Some of my toughest decisions, actually.
00:01:02Who is the winner of this battle?
00:01:04Shut up.
00:01:05And don't forget about the triple turn winner.
00:01:08I'm Drewski, and for the battles, I'm joined by NBA Hall of Famer Reggie Miller.
00:01:12Glad to be courtside with you, Drewski.
00:01:14But what are you doing with your voice?
00:01:16Uh, you know, that's the thing. I always wanted to be a sports broadcaster, so I'm pulling out my analyst
00:01:21voice.
00:01:21Um, maybe don't do that.
00:01:23Okay.
00:01:24Yeah. No, I got you.
00:01:26All season long, the coaches were there to fight and to win the most three-chair turns.
00:01:30Kelly beat out the guys and becoming the first ever triple turn champion.
00:01:33She now gets the super steal. You love a good steal, don't you, Reggie?
00:01:36I do.
00:01:37And there's nothing better, and this super steal means that Kelly can steal an artist from another coach.
00:01:43What do you mean?
00:01:43The brand new super steal!
00:01:46Or save someone from her own team. If I were the other coaches, I'd be scared of Kelly.
00:01:51I'm not a coach, and I'm scared of Kelly.
00:01:54All right, buckle up, because the battle rounds are going to be insane.
00:02:02It's a hard thing to do in general, because you have to find common ground.
00:02:06Yeah.
00:02:07That's the hardest.
00:02:08Or a song that doesn't feel like it's catering to one artist.
00:02:11A thousand percent.
00:02:11Liv, she did Ariana, right, and she slowed it down.
00:02:14I think she has a pretty good voice.
00:02:16Yeah, then I think these two, maybe, could really be paired with her.
00:02:19Now, with the super steal, can I steal someone of mine?
00:02:22Let's say, like, Blair and JW go together, and they freaking crush it.
00:02:27Crush it.
00:02:27You can get both.
00:02:29Can I steal mine back?
00:02:30Yeah, the save.
00:02:31You're the only one who gets that.
00:02:34My team is so eclectic, and they're so talented.
00:02:37This is perhaps one of my favorite teams I've ever had.
00:02:40Hey!
00:02:42This is McKinley.
00:02:44This is Liv.
00:02:45And we're partners.
00:02:46Kelly put me with Liv, my little bestie.
00:02:50I am not surprised that Kelly paired us together.
00:02:53We're Kelly's two youngest artists on our team.
00:02:57Kelly gave us Focus by her.
00:03:00Neither of us knew our song.
00:03:01We were kind of scared.
00:03:02We were like, oh, focus.
00:03:03We were freaking out a little bit.
00:03:05But we got a little arrangement going.
00:03:07And then together, can you focus on me?
00:03:11Being able to be in battles this season is so amazing.
00:03:15And knowing that last season, I didn't get a chair turn.
00:03:17Hopefully, come back again, try it again, maybe with a different type of song.
00:03:24When I opened my eyes and saw Kelly and Adam, I started crying.
00:03:27I was just really, really proud of myself.
00:03:29I've lived in Missouri my entire life.
00:03:31Same house, same city, same neighborhood.
00:03:33I was just a regular sophomore in high school with just a really big passion for music.
00:03:39It felt like it was my destiny to get a chair turn.
00:03:44This is kind of a hard battles for me because I will not be at rehearsals with my team.
00:03:50Since Kelly couldn't be here today, she brought me in as advisor and coach.
00:03:56I couldn't think of anybody better to step in than Jennifer Hudson.
00:04:01Jennifer Hudson is so talented.
00:04:03She's an EGOT winner, first of all.
00:04:05They don't just hand those out, y'all.
00:04:07And she's just incredible.
00:04:09Incredible singer, incredible actor.
00:04:11She just kind of covers the gamut.
00:04:13Team Kelly in the house.
00:04:15I worked with Kelly on season 15 of The Voice, which she won.
00:04:18So I think I have a great sense of what she likes.
00:04:21And she also filled me in on her team.
00:04:24So I am well-prepped.
00:04:26Well, here they come.
00:04:27Oh, hello!
00:04:29Walking in and seeing Jennifer Hudson was super cool.
00:04:32She's so beautiful and super talented.
00:04:35I'm here, so I'm your dream girl.
00:04:36You're in good hands.
00:04:38Yay!
00:04:38This is my old stomping grounds.
00:04:40What am I about to do?
00:04:41I used to throw shoes.
00:04:42Anybody catch that?
00:04:43Oh, yeah.
00:04:44Oh, we got it.
00:04:45I feel like Jennifer definitely was the perfect person to fill in for Kelly.
00:04:49This competition is getting more and more serious.
00:04:51It is the battle of champions season.
00:04:55Now, ooh, that sounds intense.
00:04:57Liv and McKinley are like the pop princesses.
00:05:01And I couldn't imagine them doing a better song.
00:05:03I feel like it's a great song for their voices and for what they want to do musically.
00:05:07Both of you ladies sound like you're on the right track and on the right team.
00:05:12Oh, yeah.
00:05:13I know your song is focused by her.
00:05:15Yes.
00:05:16Can I hear you a bit?
00:05:16Of course.
00:05:17Can you focus on me, baby?
00:05:24McKinley.
00:05:25She has a lovely pop sound.
00:05:27On me, baby.
00:05:29But the power of like an R&B singer, which is a great mashup, I think that's her superpower.
00:05:36Baby, can you focus on me?
00:05:38Liv is a star.
00:05:40She is 16.
00:05:42Lazy and broke.
00:05:44Okay.
00:05:44But such an old song.
00:05:46And she also has a great look as well.
00:05:48So I think she's a well-rounded package.
00:05:52On me.
00:05:55Wow.
00:05:56I love the place it's in, but I feel like they can take it even further.
00:06:01Singing from the place you're coming from is already half the battle.
00:06:06You already have the instruments.
00:06:08Kelly said, hold on, let me check my nose.
00:06:10Hold on, what you say, Kelly?
00:06:11She said, take it to the next level, okay?
00:06:15Mm-hmm.
00:06:15And musically, I feel like it's already there.
00:06:19Yeah.
00:06:20So I would say put it in the interpretation of it.
00:06:23It makes me feel great that Kelly and Jennifer talk and Kelly shared her opinions.
00:06:27The song is about feeling unseen.
00:06:30So I'm definitely going to be channeling all the emotions that I felt during high school.
00:06:35I didn't have very many friends.
00:06:37I was such a lonely person and I was constantly in my shell.
00:06:43What helped me get through it is music.
00:06:46My biggest inspiration in my family is definitely my great grandpa.
00:06:49He played for Dottie West, Conway Twitty, Loretta Lynn, and he unfortunately had to give it all up for his
00:06:5713 children at home.
00:06:59He had always wanted me to do music.
00:07:01So after he passed, I finally decided that I was going to start putting myself out there.
00:07:05Don't ever look back. Don't ever look back.
00:07:12And now look at where I am. I am so excited to be here. Even in his death, it gave
00:07:16me courage.
00:07:17I feel like you two sing from a similar space.
00:07:20Mm-hmm. Yeah.
00:07:21So how do you individualize that?
00:07:22Yeah.
00:07:23You know what I mean? Because it still is a competition.
00:07:25Mm-hmm.
00:07:25So you can show your individuality and your interpretation.
00:07:29Mm-hmm.
00:07:29Yes, you want to sing together, but you want everybody to focus on you.
00:07:34Yeah.
00:07:35Maybe start it off a little softer.
00:07:36Okay.
00:07:37So you have somewhere to go.
00:07:38Perfect, yeah.
00:07:39You know, give it a journey.
00:07:40Yeah.
00:07:41Baby, I just want you together.
00:07:46It is tough with this matchup.
00:07:49Oh, my God.
00:07:50That's the tricky part.
00:07:52Who is the true star?
00:07:53Who is the true voice?
00:07:54That is going to be the part to watch.
00:07:56I'm going to be cheering for you guys all the day, okay?
00:08:00I'm so glad I don't have to make those decisions, and I'm just tipping on through.
00:08:04Kelly, I hope I did all right, but good luck, girl.
00:08:07Good luck.
00:08:11Badling now from Team Kelly with Sierra versus McKinley Brown.
00:08:17I am super stoked.
00:08:18I really hated that I couldn't be there for battle rehearsals, but I got to see the video footage.
00:08:23Woo!
00:08:24Jay-Had was really cool because she left these notes for me and things that she had the team work
00:08:28on, and it was amazing intel.
00:08:30Yeah!
00:08:31Hey, shake.
00:08:33A little handshake.
00:08:34I like it.
00:08:35I like it.
00:08:36Nothing beats live music, so that's what I'm most excited about.
00:08:38The battle starts now.
00:08:49The battle starts now.
00:09:02Hey!
00:09:03Yeah!
00:09:03Hey!
00:09:03Hey!
00:09:03Hey, hey!

00:09:16Hey!
00:09:16Hey!
00:09:16Hey, baby!
00:09:26Baby, I just want you to get old
00:09:31Lately I've been a little fed up
00:09:36Wish you would just focus on me
00:09:42Can you focus on me, yeah
00:09:48Baby, can you focus on me
00:09:54Me, me, me
00:09:59Can you focus on
00:10:01Can you focus, can you focus on
00:10:05Baby, can you focus on me
00:10:12Be lazy and broke
00:10:16Know we get this money so I guess I can't complain
00:10:21I feel lonely even when we're alone
00:10:26That don't cost a thing
00:10:28I don't wanna give up
00:10:31Baby, I just want you to get old
00:10:36Lately I've been a little fed up
00:10:41Yeah, yeah
00:10:42Wish you would just focus on me
00:10:47Me
00:10:49Can you focus on me
00:10:52Can you focus on me
00:10:54Yeah, baby
00:10:56Can you focus on me
00:10:57Can you focus on me
00:11:17Can you focus on me
00:11:23Can you focus on me
00:11:27I'm excited
00:11:28That was so incredible
00:11:30Y'all were silky smooth with those harmonies
00:11:33It was
00:11:33Thank you
00:11:36Liv, I feel like your range is so impressive
00:11:38That will give you a lot of advantages as you go forward
00:11:41But McKinley, your tone was like so sultry
00:11:44Thank you
00:11:45I feel like I might go with Liv
00:11:48I just feel like there's with that range that she has a lot of flexibility
00:11:53Thank you
00:11:55You guys were so good at playing off of each other
00:11:59Like if I'm your coach that is a dream
00:12:01That is not something that happens all the time
00:12:03In my opinion in a million seasons I've been on this show
00:12:05That's the best battle round I've ever heard
00:12:07Whoa, whoa, whoa
00:12:10Thank you so much
00:12:11I'm not kidding
00:12:12Thank you coaches
00:12:13What a decision Kelly Clarkson
00:12:15Oh my goodness
00:12:16All right Kelly you got a tough decision
00:12:17Give us some thoughts on the battle first
00:12:19I'm gonna give you thoughts on rehearsals
00:12:21Cause obviously I wasn't able to be there
00:12:23And Jay had stepped in for me
00:12:24And she's a big fan of both of you
00:12:26I know her one note was y'all blend so well
00:12:29But sometimes it was hard to hear the individuality
00:12:31And I think that you both nailed that today
00:12:34Thanks
00:12:34Thank you
00:12:35It was the most respectful choices
00:12:38That both of you made equally
00:12:39You elevated each other instead of competing
00:12:43Kelly, the time has come
00:12:44Who is the winner of this battle?
00:12:46This is gonna be really hard you guys
00:12:48I am
00:12:49I am
00:12:50Really bummed about having to pick one of you
00:12:53Over the other right now
00:12:55Oh
00:12:57Look there's no reason or rhyme
00:13:00Ah
00:13:02No
00:13:06Oh
00:13:16Welcome back to night one of the battles
00:13:20Ah
00:13:23The win
00:13:24Oh my god you're both teenagers too
00:13:25This is insane
00:13:26Um
00:13:27Oh
00:13:28Um
00:13:28The
00:13:29The winner of this battle
00:13:36Is McKinley
00:13:37McKinley
00:13:38Congratulations
00:13:39You're moving on to the knockout
00:13:41Liv and McKinley right off the bat
00:13:43That was the first rehearsal I got to watch
00:13:44And then there's the first performance I got to see
00:13:47They were incredible
00:13:48Good job McKinley
00:13:50McKinley has such a beautiful lower register tone
00:13:55And then you get surprised because then she does this angelic head voice
00:13:59Good job
00:14:00I'm just excited to see what she wants to do in the knockouts
00:14:04I want her to do something and show something a little even different about her
00:14:07To really stand out
00:14:08Coach let me remind you that Liv's available to steal
00:14:11Whoa
00:14:12Immediately
00:14:12We got a steal
00:14:14Times two
00:14:16John Legend
00:14:17And Adam Levine
00:14:19Congratulations
00:14:20Thank you
00:14:21Oh my god
00:14:22We're not going to let you go home after that
00:14:24John you might have hit yours first
00:14:26Just talk to us about what you heard from Liv in that battle
00:14:28Hey take it easy we were planning it together
00:14:30I had mine possibly first who knows
00:14:32Oh
00:14:32But I was the only one that recommended that Kelly pick you
00:14:36I just want to be clear about that
00:14:37Ah
00:14:38You know what's so crazy is I as I look at my notes John
00:14:41Oh
00:14:42I noticed that only two chairs
00:14:45Oh
00:14:46Two chairs turned around for Liv
00:14:48Perhaps perhaps that's the case
00:14:49Perhaps that was a good moment
00:14:50There's a
00:14:51Okay but I recommended that Kelly pick Liv in this battle
00:14:55And Liv I feel like that should mean you pick team legend
00:14:59I recommend that you don't do that
00:15:03What do you mean?
00:15:04Oh no
00:15:06Oh my god
00:15:08There it is
00:15:09Kelly Clarkson unleashes the brand new super steal
00:15:17What is this?
00:15:19The music's over now
00:15:21Look at me all I can
00:15:22I had to use my super steal on Liv
00:15:24Liv reminds me of a young Mariah when Mariah like first hit the scene
00:15:29I have never let you go as my team
00:15:31Oh my god
00:15:31You crushed it
00:15:32At 16 years old to be able to just float like that with all that range and confidence as a
00:15:38performer
00:15:39It's really rare
00:15:40I knew it
00:15:42You made us wait too
00:15:43You made us wait
00:15:44I definitely played with the boys a little bit on that one
00:15:46I'd be like no
00:15:49Whatever
00:15:49I'll never let her go
00:15:51It's the battle of champions man
00:15:53I'm ready to go
00:15:54Give it up for Liv everybody
00:15:56Kelly is her only super steal on me
00:15:58I can't believe it I'm numb
00:15:59She sees something in me and that just gives me so much confidence
00:16:03Let's go to the knockouts
00:16:04Flawless execution of the super steal the first ever super steal
00:16:09Liv and McKinley had the best battle round in the history of the show
00:16:12So yeah, I'm gonna steal someone
00:16:14That was crazy
00:16:15They were great
00:16:16But then I realized that I can't steal them because the super steal
00:16:22That was insane, right?
00:16:24It was so great
00:16:24I mean honestly, that was the best battle round I've ever seen
00:16:26She got to use it on this but she only gets to use it once
00:16:29So I'll recover from this
00:16:31She's so dope, I love her
00:16:33Yeah
00:16:33I love her
00:16:34Wow
00:16:36Talk about drama
00:16:37Kelly is cold-blooded
00:16:40She let John Adam hit their buttons, chop it up, feel safe
00:16:43And then she swoops in and destroys the competition
00:16:45Let's take a look at the shot clock
00:16:47She waited 53 seconds to execute that maneuver
00:16:51What do you mean?
00:16:52Man, I can't even sit still for 53 seconds
00:16:54That's patience right there
00:16:55We've got to get a replay of her opponent's reaction here
00:16:58What is this?
00:16:59That's the look of two dudes who didn't stand a chance right there
00:17:02That's how you use a super steal
00:17:03Now that the advantage is gone for the rest of the battles, it's anyone's game
00:17:07I can't wait to see how these teams come together
00:17:14We have to do pairs, so check this out
00:17:16You're just coming in here and you're like bam, I know what's up
00:17:20Yeah, I mean
00:17:21Okay, good
00:17:21This is my first rodeo
00:17:23Yeah
00:17:24Great, great
00:17:25I have ten amazing artists
00:17:26And the battle rounds are our first glimpse into who they are beyond the blinds
00:17:29I mean, if I'm being honest, it should be like more like that
00:17:34Yeah
00:17:35Bae and Hunter
00:17:36I did not want to pair Bae and Hunter together
00:17:39I don't know, it's just really hard
00:17:40But sadly, I had no choice because it just made too much sense
00:17:45Bae influenced Tom Petty, Neil Young, Paul McCartney
00:17:48Hunter's straight up country
00:17:50Luke Bryan, Rascal Flatts
00:17:52They're both in that kind of country
00:17:54Rock
00:17:55Rock and roll, they'll do something great
00:17:56You want to put people together who you feel like will actually have a really great moment together
00:18:00And therefore thrive moving forward
00:18:02This should be good
00:18:03I'm excited
00:18:04Yeah
00:18:05Jinx
00:18:06Hunter and I were friends before the blinds
00:18:09So awful
00:18:11So, it's a comfortable pairing
00:18:13I'm a little bit nervous going against you
00:18:15I'm nervous about it too, because I know you're good
00:18:17To be a step further into Season 29, The Voice, Battle of Champions
00:18:21It doesn't feel real
00:18:24If I fall, can you let me down
00:18:30I never thought that I would get a triple chair turn
00:18:32Country
00:18:33And through the whole shebang, I was telling myself I wanted Kelly
00:18:37Today is the day
00:18:38Today is the day
00:18:39Today is the day
00:18:40You know what the day is?
00:18:41Do you know what today is?
00:18:42You're gonna break the mold
00:18:44Resist the urge to go with the status quo, my friend
00:18:47I think I'm gonna blaze a path with Adam
00:18:49Let's go!
00:18:49This competition is about taking those risks that you never thought that you would take
00:18:53I feel like I can also bring other genres and styles to the table that I feel like he can
00:18:57really thrive with
00:18:58It's a little intimidating going up against a triple chair turn artist
00:19:02You know, he definitely has a leg up, because I barely got a chair turn
00:19:05It was very late when Adam turned around
00:19:11I thought I was going home
00:19:20It feels amazing to be at Battles
00:19:22This is my chance to prove that I'm versatile
00:19:27Benji Madden
00:19:28Adam Levine
00:19:29Slow clap Benji Madden everybody
00:19:31My advisor is Benji Madden of Good Charlotte
00:19:40He is not just a member of Good Charlotte, but so savvy in the industry as well
00:19:45Talk a little bit more about his looks
00:19:47Super handsome, super charming
00:19:49What about athletic ability?
00:19:51He was the coach of The Voice in Australia
00:19:54Me and my brother had a double chair
00:19:56They're like, who are we gonna bring in? And I'm like, Benji, obviously
00:19:58Well, I am in your favorites on your phone, so it was the first name that came up
00:20:02We're like really actually homies, it's not just on TV
00:20:05When I was younger, I made a lot of mistakes
00:20:07Now I try to be the guy that I wish I met
00:20:09There's something really healing about that
00:20:11You know, when you can help guide somebody
00:20:13My team is super lucky
00:20:14Lucky is here
00:20:17I have great singers this season, it's gonna be great
00:20:19I can't wait to hear them
00:20:20Yes, coming up first is Bay and Hunter
00:20:22Here they come
00:20:23These are two cool dudes right here
00:20:26Two cool dudes!
00:20:28What? Let's go!
00:20:29Actually, three cool dudes
00:20:31Great names
00:20:32And one not that cool dude
00:20:33To walk in and see Adam and to see Benji
00:20:36I don't know, I'm just blown away
00:20:37Bay
00:20:38Benji
00:20:39Good to meet you, Benji
00:20:39Two guys from such legendary bands
00:20:42You know Benji
00:20:43You guys got good charlin'
00:20:44Absolutely
00:20:44Good charlin'
00:20:45Being a band guy myself
00:20:47You know, those are the people that I want to be working with
00:20:49It's just a dream come true
00:20:51Before The Blinds, I was working as a songwriter in Nashville
00:20:55And touring with my band
00:20:58The music business is such a hustle
00:21:00And it's so hard to cut through the noise
00:21:03I'm related to Elvis Presley
00:21:05My family is all musicians
00:21:07Being here on The Voice
00:21:09It feels like I'm finally adding something significant to my family's legacy
00:21:13I didn't want to put you guys together at first
00:21:17Who are your favorite fighters?
00:21:19Yeah, I feel like you kinda gotta put people in situations
00:21:22That show different sides of them
00:21:24Because like this career
00:21:25You gotta step up and hit the ball
00:21:27In so many different situations
00:21:29The talent is just the ticket
00:21:31At the door
00:21:32100%
00:21:33This makes sense
00:21:34You guys are gonna do a Morgan Wallen song
00:21:36Morgan Wallen is a former Team Adam alum
00:21:38That's right
00:21:39Which is crazy
00:21:39It's crazy
00:21:40It's like the biggest country star on the planet
00:21:43The song is I'm the Problem by Morgan Wallen
00:21:45Voice alum
00:21:46He was on my team
00:21:47So it's a family affair today
00:21:48Big shoes to fill for them
00:21:50Are we doing it on just acoustics?
00:21:51Just, I love that
00:21:52Yeah
00:21:52Alright cool, let's do it
00:21:54Say I'll never change
00:21:56Just to go around town with some gasoline
00:21:59Hunter's voice is like that great pop country voice
00:22:01Gonna burn a whole place down
00:22:03But also you can tell he's got some soul
00:22:05So I think it'll be interesting to watch him grow
00:22:08Try to go our separate ways
00:22:10We're back
00:22:11Bae's voice is very like folky
00:22:13Like yesterday
00:22:16Very rock and roll
00:22:17You know sort of classic rock
00:22:18I'd say
00:22:21Like 70s kind of vibe
00:22:22So I thought it was really interesting to hear him sing a Morgan Wallen song
00:22:25If I cry alone
00:22:27You might be the reason
00:22:31Awesome
00:22:32Yeah
00:22:33Man I love you guys
00:22:34And so different too
00:22:35Two different flavors
00:22:36You both have different advantages
00:22:38In terms of if we're talking about this as a contest
00:22:40Yeah
00:22:41You really take the song and kind of make it like
00:22:43As if you were putting a cover out
00:22:45But at the same time you have that great country voice
00:22:48I feel like this is your wheelhouse
00:22:49But you have to find a way to sort of make it your own too
00:22:53This is part of the reason why I really wanted to pick your team Adam
00:22:56Is because I need a little bit of help of trying to find myself as an artist
00:22:59Like when it comes to cover songs
00:23:01Sure
00:23:01You know when Morgan Wallen is such a mainstream artist
00:23:03There's a lot of pressure to do it justice
00:23:04Just be yourself
00:23:06I think that adopting the original spirit of the song is kind of okay
00:23:09As long as it doesn't lose any of its authenticity
00:23:11And if that's who you are
00:23:12Cause sometimes people go the other way
00:23:14Yeah
00:23:14And they're like whoa whoa whoa
00:23:15Like
00:23:15You're overthinking it
00:23:16Yeah exactly
00:23:16Yeah
00:23:17This is exactly why I love Adam
00:23:18Keep it simple stupid
00:23:19He doesn't say that but that's what I like to live by
00:23:22I'm always in my own head
00:23:23And it was exactly what I needed to hear
00:23:25This experience has just been life changing in every way shape and form
00:23:29At home I'm playing shows for three, four, five people
00:23:34And I perform a lot of Morgan Wallen songs
00:23:36It puts tip money in the bucket
00:23:38So I appreciate Morgan for that
00:23:40Country is my first love for sure
00:23:42But I don't want to be held to that box
00:23:44I have a lot more to show
00:23:45So I'm gonna bring some Hunter to that song too
00:23:48They're singing and then they're singing with somebody
00:23:50Right?
00:23:51It's like two completely different art forms entirely
00:23:53And it can be a train wreck
00:23:54And it can be a real mess
00:23:56Just stay locked in honestly
00:23:58Cause when you go into those really rhythmic harmonies and stuff
00:24:00That's the key to this whole thing working
00:24:02And it got me thinking
00:24:04They do a great job
00:24:05Their harmonies are so locked
00:24:07And it's all acoustic guitars and singing
00:24:09And just pure musicianship
00:24:10Which I love
00:24:10It's just the two of them raw right there singing the song
00:24:13It was even better than I thought it was gonna be
00:24:15That's what I'm talking about
00:24:16It just gets better every time
00:24:17It's fully engaging and people are gonna love it
00:24:20I think I have like an idea
00:24:22But I don't know
00:24:23They're super different
00:24:27Okay
00:24:27Hey, can you guys help me on this one?
00:24:29Always
00:24:29I will always help you
00:24:30I will always tell you
00:24:31Okay, please, please
00:24:32And whatever way I'm leaning
00:24:34That's what's so shocking about the show
00:24:35Sometimes like you can easily lean the other way at the last minute
00:24:44Battling guitars
00:24:45I remember Hunter, he's good
00:24:47He's so cute
00:24:48Come on boys
00:24:51Still to come
00:24:55Our coaches spend the night on their feet
00:24:59As the battle of champions heats up
00:25:02I wish I had a steal
00:25:04Leading to some of the toughest decisions
00:25:06I quit
00:25:06In voice history
00:25:08Decisions, decisions
00:25:10The winner of this battle
00:25:14Oh, I'm sweating for you
00:25:17We got a steal!
00:25:27Welcome back to The Voice
00:25:29Battle of Champions
00:25:33Let's go fellas
00:25:34This battle begins right now
00:25:43You say I'll never change
00:25:46Just to go around town with some gasoline
00:25:49Who's trying to bum a flame
00:25:52Gonna burn the whole place down
00:25:54And how do you explain
00:25:58Ever falling in love with a guy like me in the first place
00:26:02Turn around saying that I'm the worst thing
00:26:04I guess I'm the problem
00:26:08You mean it's never do no wrong
00:26:11If I'm so awful
00:26:14Why'd you stick around this long?
00:26:17If you're so risky
00:26:19Why you keep on putting it off the shelf?
00:26:23You hate the wind
00:26:24You look at me
00:26:25You halfway see yourself
00:26:27And it got me thinking
00:26:30If I'm the problem
00:26:33You might be the reason
00:26:35Alright
00:26:39Try to go our separate ways
00:26:42We're back and forth like a swinging door
00:26:45And tomorrow's like yesterday
00:26:48Some days better than the night before
00:26:51You're back with me again
00:26:53Then you go tell your friends that I'm the problem
00:26:58You'll never do no wrong if I'm so awful
00:27:03Then why'd you stick around this long?
00:27:07It got me thinking
00:27:10If I'm the problem
00:27:12You might be the reason
00:27:17Interesting
00:27:19And if I'm such a waste of breath
00:27:21Such a waste of time
00:27:25While you're on your way to waste another Friday night
00:27:29If I'm the problem
00:27:32You might be the reason
00:27:35If I'm so awful
00:27:37Then why'd you stick around this long?
00:27:41If it's whiskey
00:27:43Why you keep on putting it off the shelf?
00:27:47You hate it when you look at me
00:27:50You halfway see yourself
00:27:52And it got me thinking
00:27:55If I'm the problem
00:27:57You might be the reason
00:28:03You might be the reason
00:28:04If I'm the problem
00:28:05If I'm the problem
00:28:06You might be the reason
00:28:23Oh
00:28:25You know Adam came to me and Kelly before and he was like
00:28:30I'm really gonna need some help on this one and I get it now like this is actually a dilemma
00:28:38Hunter's voice is so strong and has so much presence and there's a nice shred to it
00:28:44I was like how's bae gonna compete with that
00:28:46But then bae comes on and your voice is like a little weird in a very cool way
00:28:52If weird means sexy and intimate and rock and roll, it's so good
00:28:56Hey man, I always tell my kids stay weird
00:28:59What I'm saying is I loved how different it felt. I was like why didn't I turn for you?
00:29:05It was just really cool. I know right
00:29:08There is the conundrum
00:29:10I know this sucks so bad right now
00:29:13I'm just gonna say if I were buying a record I would more likely like be attracted to bae's voice
00:29:19So that's my leaning. Thank you John
00:29:22Hunter I knew I was gonna love you and you have one of those voices like those big country festivals
00:29:26those big arenas
00:29:27Your voice will pierce through you are a sure thing in my opinion. Thank you. Bae, you are the surprise
00:29:34for me because I
00:29:36I
00:29:36Love your voice like I could see you performing in front of huge crowds, too
00:29:40But I see your voice being able to silence them
00:29:43It is very intimate and rock and roll you two are superstars in different ways for me
00:29:49And I can't even believe I just used that word
00:29:51But I did just said it just said it out loud
00:29:53Hey
00:29:55You're both really really good, but I might lean a bit more towards Hunter. Thank you Kelly
00:30:01Thank you coaches. All right Adam. Give us some thoughts before you tell us who won the battle, please
00:30:05I just wrote a new song. It's called this is gonna suck
00:30:10So bad, I don't want to do it
00:30:12Is that the background vocals?
00:30:14So bad
00:30:14I quit
00:30:18Bae when I heard your blind audition
00:30:20I remember being like this kid understands rock and roll and I love the fact these guys see it in
00:30:25you now
00:30:25You have like a tried-and-true like authenticity about you that is completely unfiltered and really raw. Thank you
00:30:33You know your talking voice is cool. Okay
00:30:36He's just cool, man. The dude's cool
00:30:38You know in hunter we all knew it from the jump like when you came out here. Everyone was like
00:30:42I remember hunter
00:30:43That's the man. We know he's great. And so I don't want to let you down. You know you went
00:30:47with me
00:30:48You took a risk and I appreciate that bae. I was the only one who turned for you. So you
00:30:52had no choice. You're stuck with me for better or worse
00:30:55I'll stay with you forever
00:30:59Stop it
00:31:00Adam tough decisions shut up
00:31:03I'm just gonna ask you this and then you can answer whenever you want throw it out
00:31:06It's literally part of the show and I have to do my job just like you have to do your
00:31:10job
00:31:11You have a job as well Adam Levine
00:31:15Okay, Adam, okay, who is the winner of this battle?
00:31:19I'm gonna say
00:31:22Oh, I'm sweating for you. I hate this. I'm sweating. You guys don't know what I'm gonna say, right?
00:31:28He doesn't know what he's gonna say
00:31:32What are you gonna do you warned us that this is gonna be hard
00:31:36Can I take like a five minutes?
00:31:38Um, all right, I'm just gonna say a name
00:31:44The winner
00:31:46Of this battle
00:31:50Is bae
00:31:57Bae and hunter was really really good and I thought that I was gonna go with hunter the whole time
00:32:02Thank you brother
00:32:03You really surprised me today, man
00:32:05Bae just takes things and does things that make my soul feel good
00:32:08Fantastic
00:32:10You won it
00:32:11I feel amazing
00:32:12I wanted to be the surprise I wanted to be able to show another tool that I have let's go
00:32:17knockouts team Adam
00:32:20I didn't know what to do
00:32:21Hunter anything you want to say to your coach
00:32:23It's been an honor
00:32:24I stand firmly behind my decision in picking you as my coach Adam
00:32:28Thank you
00:32:28I appreciate y'all so much seriously
00:32:29It's definitely bittersweet because hunter is amazing so I feel like it was a loss
00:32:35I wish I had a save I do
00:32:37I felt your pain brother
00:32:39Oh, you're right
00:32:41Hunter was that three-chair turn we all kind of expected him to go through
00:32:45But bae was a surprise there's gonna be nobody like bae
00:32:48Yeah, I love bae
00:32:49For some reason bae stood out today for all of us
00:32:53That was great
00:32:53That was really good
00:32:54Oh man, I felt so horrible for you
00:32:57I'm glad you picked bae
00:33:05Welcome back to the battle's premiere
00:33:08We have some great advisors this season
00:33:10Yeah
00:33:11I got Benji Madden
00:33:12Oh nice
00:33:12Yeah
00:33:12Who I love so much and he's like just the coolest dude
00:33:15Oh that's a vibe
00:33:16Look at that bromance
00:33:17Jennifer stepped in for you
00:33:18Jennifer stepped in for me
00:33:19But I had money long
00:33:20I've known money since she was a teenager like early writing the business
00:33:24Yeah
00:33:24I've just watched her grow up
00:33:25That feels good to like watch it
00:33:27Yeah
00:33:27You know someone that deserves it and has been working for it
00:33:29And to hear like for all these artists on here like it doesn't happen overnight
00:33:32It doesn't happen overnight
00:33:33Yeah
00:33:33I feel like your experience in this business is really special
00:33:37You've been a songwriter you've been behind the scenes and now you've really blossomed
00:33:42She's finally taken off as an artist her hooks are all over the world
00:33:46Hello man
00:33:47It's just a joy to see it I've gotten a duet with her
00:33:53Of course you're a grammy winner
00:33:55Man
00:33:57That sounds crazy out loud
00:33:59It was supposed to happen
00:34:01I've learned so much from you so
00:34:03Hopefully I can pay it forward today
00:34:05I'm really excited
00:34:06This is the first time I actually get to work with my team
00:34:08And I think you're going to be so helpful to our artists here
00:34:11So let's do it
00:34:12Yes
00:34:14So this pairing is aj young guy sings country
00:34:17And lucas is kind of a mix of genres but he played the piano
00:34:21So I felt that connection to him and I got him over adam
00:34:25Which anytime I went over adam is nice
00:34:27John actually paired me with lucas
00:34:29And I've honestly looked at him like an older brother
00:34:31Because I have an older brother who's supposed to his age
00:34:35That's why we do music
00:34:36Even though he's 14 aj is singing like a seasoned professional
00:34:42Drinking watermelon moonshine
00:34:44Coming from a small town you know
00:34:46This is the biggest opportunity I've ever had in my life
00:34:49The show actually premiered when I was only two months old
00:34:52So I've kind of like grown up into the show
00:34:54Not only have I been a huge fan of The Voice but my grandparents have been too
00:34:59They flew out here the day before my audition
00:35:01My paw paw he actually had a stroke
00:35:04He was in the hospital while I was auditioning
00:35:07It was just amazing to let him know that I made a team and he was so happy
00:35:12I mean he was crying
00:35:13I really want to do my best for him
00:35:17Hello
00:35:18Hey guys
00:35:19We got a special guest miss money long
00:35:22How are ya?
00:35:23Oh my god
00:35:24Seeing John and money was just nuts because she's got some gnarly tunes
00:35:29Can I give you a hug how are you?
00:35:30She is the real deal when she sings live it's like you're listening to her recordings
00:35:35There's no auto tune it's just raw talent
00:35:38All right let's hear that duet
00:35:39You know I'd fall apart without you
00:35:44AJ came from more of a country perspective
00:35:46Lucas came from more of a pop soul perspective
00:35:48But I felt like I could find a song where country, pop and soul kind of intersect
00:35:53So I picked Hunter Haste Wanted
00:35:55I love the juxtaposition of their voices
00:36:05Lucas has this I want to say like
00:36:07It's like soulful and it has some grit to it
00:36:09Yeah
00:36:10And like some sauce on it
00:36:11I ever want
00:36:13Where he does his runs sometimes you can tell he's feeling himself like I know I sound good
00:36:19Cause I just want to rap
00:36:21And then AJ's voice is just so pure and sweet it's so innocent
00:36:25And just oh I just want to pinch his cheek he's so precious
00:36:29I was clean
00:36:31Lovely
00:36:32AJ your voice is so pure it's very sweet
00:36:35I would love it if you just kind of slow down a bit at the ends of your phrases like
00:36:39You know I fall apart without you
00:36:44Okay
00:36:44Yes ma'am
00:36:45Be a little bit more dramatic
00:36:46Lucas you have some really cool character like the way you sing in the back of the throat
00:36:52Wanna make you feel warm
00:36:55Like I would lean into that
00:36:57Cause those are the things that make your voice distinct
00:36:58When we hear John sing we know it's him immediately
00:37:02Right so what are those things about your voice that stick out
00:37:05That's great feedback
00:37:06Thank you so much
00:37:08Awesome
00:37:08See that's why we got money long here y'all
00:37:09I know right yeah
00:37:10That's what's up
00:37:11Yeah
00:37:11I think that first chorus needs to be toned down a little bit
00:37:15Be a little gentler
00:37:17You
00:37:18I wanna kiss your lips
00:37:22Just be chill about it
00:37:24Cause you're gonna rev it up in a little bit
00:37:26Yeah there's a little bit of acting in there
00:37:28First it's just a conversation nothing too crazy
00:37:30Second time now you didn't believe me the first time
00:37:32So now it's like what do I gotta do
00:37:34Yeah
00:37:34And then at the end it's like oh I'm sorry I yelled
00:37:36You know I didn't need to
00:37:38I'm sorry
00:37:39That's a great analogy for sure
00:37:40What makes me nervous going up against AJ is the raw like resonance that he has in his voice
00:37:46Which is like perfect for the tune we're doing
00:37:49This song's a challenge for me because it's really outside of what I usually do
00:38:00Being how soulful you are it just made me want you on team legend even more
00:38:04I ultimately chose John because he's been my hero
00:38:07I love a lot of genres and I love a lot of instruments and so does he
00:38:14Welcome team legend
00:38:17So in addition to being a singer I also played trombone
00:38:20It's kind of stemmed from having adhd as a kid and while a lot of people think it's a curse
00:38:25It's really more of a blessing because once I found that I was able to hyper fixate
00:38:30It was never a chore to practice and play and sing so it really is like a superpower
00:38:37Making it to the knockouts would be an absolute gift because this is the best coaching you can get anywhere
00:38:43I'm looking forward to this performance. It's going to be exciting. I appreciate you johnny. I wouldn't want to be
00:38:47you
00:38:48It's always tough every time and sometimes you think you know who's going to win when you go through rehearsals
00:38:54But the song has the ability to give me chills and so I want to feel something if I was
00:39:00one of the others. I'll be
00:39:02Trying to get whoever you don't keep
00:39:04Who would you pick as the winner of this battle?

00:43:35to be a really cool thing to watch you grow lucas you have a really soulful voice man i really
00:43:40really am a fan of what you do
00:43:41i think that maybe in this moment in time
00:43:43i would say lucas is there he's ready but you both did really really great and uh proud of the
00:43:48both
00:43:48you guys thank you thank you
00:43:51all right john tough decision but first give us some thoughts
00:43:55you are very cute aj as we've discussed but it's obvious your voice it's just really lovely to listen
00:44:02to your tone was perfect it sounded exactly the way it needed to sound for this song lucas every time
00:44:09you sang it had texture it had soul and that falsetto part was my absolute favorite part it was just
00:44:16gorgeous and it's really cool to watch and to listen to thank you so much john appreciate it john you've
00:44:22got a tough decision to make who is the winner of this battle
00:44:29the winner of this battle
00:44:35is lucas lucas congratulations you're moving on to the knockouts aj's so talented especially for how
00:44:42young he is and he's got a great future ahead of him but lucas was just so soulful and flawless
00:44:48he had
00:44:48a perfect approach to this song i couldn't send him home i love lucas i love aj
00:44:55oh we know give it up for aj robinson everybody watching aj go home was so hard for me lucas
00:45:04look
00:45:04he deserved it he's a great singer but if i'd had a seal a hundred percent i would have stolen
00:45:10aj
00:45:10god you broke my heart i wish i had a steal
00:45:18he did look like a little woody from toy story though there's a snake in my boot
00:45:29i'm very excited my stomach's churning
00:45:32since i was six years old i made a vision board that my dream is to be on the boys
00:45:39team adam jolly boy i can't wait to hit the stage
00:45:42and wow the audience versus bichu bell i'm ready for this let's go
00:45:56welcome back to the battles premiere
00:45:59all right i need a steal friends somebody hooked me up i only have one steal in the battles and
00:46:05i'm
00:46:05going to use it wisely we used to have saves and steals now we just have steel so move me
00:46:10make me
00:46:10press my button she was like the only like young pop girl bijou yeah bijou can hang with jolly
00:46:19they are the two younger jolly and bijou they're my two wild cards i wouldn't say that either one of
00:46:26them fits perfectly in anywhere which is great that's what i love about them but in a way they
00:46:30had to fight for that spot to be coached by freaking animal i know what's happening can i see this
00:46:36is
00:46:36real is this real die for you by the weekend it does strangely fit the weekend has edge and has
00:46:41some
00:46:41grit and some things i think that can do both of you right they're doing a song that probably they
00:46:46never expected in a million years to be doing but i kind of like that as well
00:46:51you're going to make it through this whole thing you got to rise to the challenge now because there's
00:46:54going to be a lot more where that came from oh good bijou's willingness to try and just like go
00:47:02after it i think that's her biggest strength jolly's voice i like how casual and cool her voice is and
00:47:08then there's moments where she does something that shows athletic singing and i really dig that style
00:47:14about her hey man first pass i'm happy sounds great thank you bijou are you know florence machine
00:47:20like i hear a little bit of that you can clearly handle like the rhythmic stuff i think when you're
00:47:24slightly unsure or something you tend to be a little flat okay try to lean a little sharper and that
00:47:29might help you calibrate it a little bit more adam is definitely pushing me out of my comfort zone
00:47:33i usually sing rock indie pop music on stage with my family or on stage in theater even though it's
00:47:40gonna be challenging i'm gonna work on that i'm excited to kind of show a different part of my
00:47:44artistry jelly in the lower register it seemed like it was really low for you it's tough to find
00:47:49the balance so let's do a half step up and you know what it has to be right for both
00:47:53of you guys
00:47:58they're already kind of leaps and bounds ahead of where they were and then when they started
00:48:01which i think is really good
00:48:04this will be a hard decision on the night because i think they're both going to show their best
00:48:09oh my god that's better that's like so much better it does feel better because you i noticed
00:48:16that you weren't actually really flat at all yeah and i feel like the feedback made you a little bit
00:48:21more nervous get out of your head yeah it's just a little nerve-wracking being in the room especially
00:48:27because it's adam levine i have a lot of experience singing background but if i want to win this battle
00:48:32i'm
00:48:32gonna have to step it's a center stage for this performance final ways to articulate the feeling
00:48:39i'm going through just can't say i don't love you cause i love you yeah it's hard for me to
00:48:52communicate
00:48:52the thoughts that i heard tonight i'm gonna let you know let me tell the truth oh baby let me
00:49:01tell the truth
00:49:03yeah you know what i'm thinking see it in your eyes you hate that you want me hate it when
00:49:11you cry
00:49:11you're scared to be lonely especially in the night i'm scared that i'll miss you happens every time
00:49:18i don't want this feeling i can't afford love
00:49:22i try to find the time to pull us apart
00:49:25it ain't working cause you're perfect and i know that you're worth it i can walk away
00:49:33even though we're going through it and it makes you feel alone
00:49:39since i know that i would die for you
00:49:42yeah baby i would die for you
00:49:46hey girl
00:49:47the distance and the time between us it'll never change my mind

00:50:44I would die for you
00:50:50Yeah!
00:50:54We did it so much!
00:50:57Yeah!
00:50:59Viju, I just loved how much connection you had with the song.
00:51:03It just looked like you wanted to be there and were excited to be there and gave us your all.
00:51:10Raleigh, I was so impressed with that.
00:51:12It was like a little bit understated in a lot of ways and you seemed very in control.
00:51:15It was funny cause at the end you were like, oh my god.
00:51:19But during the performance it felt like you were not nervous at all.
00:51:22Thank you coaches!
00:51:24Adam, great battle. What were your thoughts?
00:51:26Man, I'm really proud of you guys.
00:51:28I think for me the number one thing is believability.
00:51:30You really want to believe someone when they're singing a song
00:51:32and you guys both really accomplished that cause you both really sang with all your heart out there today.
00:51:37The time has come. Who is the winner of this battle?
00:51:40The winner of this battle is Jali.
00:51:45Jali, congratulations! You're moving on to knockouts!
00:51:48Jali's got a killer voice. So soulful. She's really, really talented.
00:51:53I feel like Jali's one to watch for in future rounds. I'm really impressed with her.
00:51:58I liked her in the blinds but that was way cooler.
00:52:00That was like, oh she was crazy.
00:52:09Welcome back to the battles.
00:52:12I'm sad that Kelly can't be here today but we have full trust that she's going to bring someone great
00:52:17to mentor us.
00:52:19So I'm excited to see who it is.
00:52:20I think I'm ready.
00:52:23Thank you. I think I got the hang of this.
00:52:26All right, here we go.
00:52:28Oh, I got my shoe in case I need it.
00:52:32Is that JW in Blair?
00:52:35Hi!
00:52:35Come on over!
00:52:37Oh my gosh, seeing Jennifer Hudson was absolutely incredible.
00:52:40I was super starstruck.
00:52:41She's been in musical theater.
00:52:43She's an actress.
00:52:45And also, Dreamgirls is just one of my favorite movies.
00:52:48I love Jun, I do.
00:52:50And I love Adam, I do.
00:52:51But, I mean, Kelly is the queen.
00:52:54Exactly.
00:52:54Absolutely.
00:52:55And she put two country powerhouses together.
00:52:58JW and Blair, they are the old school country mashup.
00:53:03And they're singing Never Again Again by Leigh Ann Wormack.
00:53:07Tell me about yourselves.
00:53:08I'm from Southwest Georgia and currently live in Nashville.
00:53:13So you're engulfed in country.
00:53:14Oh yeah, in my whole life.
00:53:15I can hear it in your voice.
00:53:20The blind audition was a crazy day.
00:53:22I kind of had in my head I wanted Kelly from the start.
00:53:26I don't know if you know this, but I have been on country radio.
00:53:30I want to do my own songwriting.
00:53:32And as a coach, she could really help.
00:53:34Currently, I try to write every single day.
00:53:36It's not full time.
00:53:37I do bread deliveries in the morning.
00:53:40Oh, do you got sourdough?
00:53:41Yeah, they do make sourdough.
00:53:43Turn it up country!
00:53:45My music roots come from my dad.
00:53:47He mostly sings in the choir, but he's good at karaoke too.
00:53:52My dad's uncle was a really good piano player.
00:53:55He played with Waylon Jennings and Johnny Paycheck back in the 60s and 70s.
00:54:00So it's kind of crazy that maybe I get to carry on that legacy.
00:54:04Never again, again.
00:54:07For them to deliver a traditional country song, that I think is one of Kelly's favorites as well.
00:54:14That's a huge task.
00:54:16You'll break my heart, I know.
00:54:20Blair's voice, the quality of it is so beautiful.
00:54:24It just sits so well in country.
00:54:29And then JW, it's like air to him.
00:54:32I'm like, is he singing?
00:54:34Because it's coming out so effortlessly.
00:54:38Come on!
00:54:40Yes!
00:54:41I like that.
00:54:42I was hoping for a shoot.
00:54:43You know what?
00:54:45Before the shoot, a hand go up.
00:54:47Yeah, okay.
00:54:48We gotta get that first.
00:54:49I said, Lord, it's up.
00:54:51That ending took me out.
00:54:53That's a compliment.
00:54:55You seem a little nervous.
00:54:56Just a little.
00:54:57But that's passion.
00:54:58That's okay.
00:54:59I use every emotion.
00:55:01I'm excited.
00:55:02You gonna see it.
00:55:02This stage is for you guys to shine.
00:55:05You earned the right to be here.
00:55:07You may want to hit, throw an extra note up.
00:55:10I didn't know that was coming,
00:55:11and you may want to respond to it.
00:55:12Leave room to surprise yourselves.
00:55:14Okay.
00:55:15Now, you seem to emote more emotion,
00:55:17and you seem to be concerned about her.
00:55:20But, baby, this is a competition.
00:55:21Okay.
00:55:22I'll stop being so nice, I guess.
00:55:23Don't be so nice.
00:55:24Sorry.
00:55:25Move over, little sister.
00:55:26All right.
00:55:27Get your guitar out of my face.
00:55:30How about you?
00:55:31How are you feeling, Blair?
00:55:32When I first heard this song,
00:55:33it reminded me when I first started singing back in Texas.
00:55:36Yeah.
00:55:36A lot of this, a lot of Dolly,
00:55:37a lot of Patsy Cline.
00:55:39Look at them all.
00:55:39It really just took me back to that
00:55:41and my West Texas roots.
00:55:44Leanne Womack actually attended school
00:55:46right outside of my hometown, Lubbock, Texas,
00:55:48at South Plains College.
00:55:50And a lot of the musicians that I grew up playing with
00:55:52actually attended the same college.
00:55:55Even my coach is a Texan, so that's exciting.
00:56:01The Blind Audition was a world-win for sure.
00:56:04I did my yodeling song.
00:56:08It really just gave me that validation
00:56:10that what I'm doing is good.
00:56:12I feel like I'm living a dream.
00:56:14I'm just so happy that she chose
00:56:15a super classic country-sounding song.
00:56:22It's amazing to witness.
00:56:23They almost sound like a radio record.
00:56:26I can see why Kelly put them together,
00:56:29but why would you make it this difficult for yourself?
00:56:32How are you going to choose?
00:56:34I don't want to know.
00:56:37That was Worlds Apart better.
00:56:40Don't question yourself.
00:56:41It felt better.
00:56:42Make Kelly proud.
00:56:43We will.
00:56:44But don't forget, although you're singing together,
00:56:47you're singing for the same spots.
00:56:49Y'all understand that?
00:56:50We got it.
00:56:51I'm not ready to go home.
00:56:52I have a ton to learn.
00:56:54Jennifer Hudson's amazing,
00:56:55and you could tell that Kelly
00:56:57had talked her through things.
00:56:5930 seconds out.
00:57:00I love this next song.
00:57:02But I still want to work with Kelly,
00:57:03and I don't want to go home
00:57:04before I get the chance to do that.
00:57:08Blair, over.
00:57:11It would definitely be heartbreaking
00:57:12to lose this battle.
00:57:14All right.
00:57:15Versus J.W. Griffin.
00:57:18I would definitely be happy for J.W.
00:57:21if it did go that way.
00:57:22J.W.
00:57:24But it is a competition after all,
00:57:26so may the best man win.
00:57:28Whoo!
00:57:37Welcome back to the Battles
00:57:39at Universal Studios Hollywood.
00:57:44Oh, I love J-Dub.
00:57:46Yeah, I think you had a great.
00:57:48The Battles starts now.
00:57:56Never again, again.
00:58:02Once more I'll let you back in.
00:58:07I know how the story ends.
00:58:11But I can't help myself.
00:58:16Nice!
00:58:19You'll break my heart, I know.
00:58:23Through my tears I'll watch you go.
00:58:29Yeah.
00:58:29And just like it's always been,
00:58:34I'll say never again, again.
00:58:41Each time you leave,
00:58:47I'll say I've had enough.
00:58:49Yeah!
00:58:52But I must be addicted to your kind of love.
00:59:02Well, I swear to myself
00:59:07I'm gonna stand by.
00:59:11Yeah!
00:59:14But one look at you
00:59:19breaks my defenses down.
00:59:23And here comes ever again, again.
00:59:29Once more I'll let you back in.
00:59:34Then just like it's always been,
00:59:39I'll say never again, again.
00:59:45Then just like it's always been,
00:59:52I'll say never again.
00:59:56I'll say never again.
01:00:17I'll say never again.
01:00:23That was amazing oh my god great song gosh Blair
01:00:30I'm gonna start with you. It did not turn for you and that surprises me shame on me
01:00:35Because you're so great you got real power in your voice and I didn't hear it till now and you
01:00:39were really really wonderful today
01:00:41Thank you
01:00:43Now only problem Blair is that you went up against my guy J Dub
01:00:48You have just one of my favorite voices. Thank you. One of those all-time
01:00:52Classic voices and I want to own the records you haven't made yet. I'm a huge fan
01:01:00What a great song choice Blair neither of us turned for you
01:01:04But we're having regrets as we were listening to you never again. Would we not turn for you?
01:01:11But as Adam said J Dub is a very special vocalist and we're jealous
01:01:17Yeah, Kelly gets to work with you and won this triple turn. She won a few triple turns
01:01:22You know, she may even be the champion of triple turns this season, but man every note you would sing.
01:01:28Oh, man. I love J Dub
01:01:30Thank you coaches
01:01:32All right Kelly got a tough decision here coming up in a minute. Give us some thoughts on the battle
01:01:36first, please
01:01:36This is one of my favorite songs ever so thank you for just nailing it
01:01:42And Blair is not easy to seeing Leigh Ann Womack. Yes, you have this classic country sound so does Leigh
01:01:48Ann
01:01:48But she has this soulfulness and those really cool runs and you have that
01:01:54I just thought you both blended so well
01:01:56J had said that she felt like y'all were a little nervous that did not show today
01:02:00So I'm glad that she shook that out of y'all because you did not look nervous at all
01:02:04You also would make a really great duo
01:02:08Just throwing it out there
01:02:10I think you both are extremely talented, but I have to pick one of you
01:02:16Kelly the time has come who is the winner of this battle the winner of this battle
01:02:25is
01:02:25JW
01:02:27Congratulations
01:02:30There's just something so special about JW. Oh, I love him. He opens his mouth and you are
01:02:37Just at attention and he's a storyteller
01:02:39Great job. Thank you so much. I love for rehearsal by the way
01:02:43I didn't hear you take it up. They never showed me where you took it up. We added that because
01:02:47I felt like I didn't do enough
01:02:48I loved it. I loved it. It was really good
01:02:50Knowing that like that little bit of insight that he knew to change it up to push himself is what
01:02:56gets you to that winner's circle
01:02:58I love you. I love you too. I knew if we did our best
01:03:02Good things are gonna happen on the stage and we both gave our all out there
01:03:06And I'm just obviously I'm happy with the outcome. That was a great song. He just sounds like oh, he's
01:03:11a star. I'm a fan
01:03:21I
01:03:21Welcome back
01:03:24I remember as a young buck
01:03:27Auditioning for shows like this. Oh, you did? Yes, and I was terrified
01:03:31It's a cool chance for them to like learn from somebody who's gone through it
01:03:35All of it helped to make me the artist that I am today these next singers
01:03:39They're quite different, but I'm really excited for this duet
01:03:43I paired Audie and Grace because I felt like I could find a way for their styles to meet in
01:03:48the middle
01:03:48Grace saying Joni Mitchell like she was transported from Woodstock or whatever and
01:03:53Audie came in singing Bruno Mars and his tone is very similar to Bruno Mars
01:03:58To think that I've been singing in church and then now here in front of America
01:04:03It's just crazy music is what I want to do. I have no backup plan
01:04:08I really just want to show John I can be his next winner. They're gonna sing just give me a
01:04:13reason by Pink and Nate Roos
01:04:14I was thinking we could do like a more stripped-down version of it. I love that. Yeah, that's awesome
01:04:19I think Audie is very like precise. What's the goal here? How do I deliver? Grace is cool?
01:04:30She's got this like swag, you know, she's 18. She's young. Yeah
01:04:33You can learn to love again. I think she's got a good future ahead of her
01:04:38Beautiful you have lovely tones and beautiful voices. Thank you. I would say
01:04:42Don't overdo the runs tone tells me a lot more than a run will ever tell me take out some
01:04:48of the notes you were going
01:04:49Something like that just
01:04:52Okay
01:04:55Oh something I love that yeah with your voice it is very dynamic break when you're singing softly you got
01:05:01to eat the mic
01:05:01Don't be afraid of it. It's there to amplify your voice
01:05:04You were kind of emphasizing tone
01:05:06So I know you'd mentioned you were in an acapella group like I'm going to be the music director of
01:05:10my acapella group
01:05:11The name of my acapella group is the men of last call
01:05:14It's really forced me to push myself as a musician and push myself as a leader and now almost graduating
01:05:19from Cornell
01:05:20And faced with this weird crossroad of do I pursue the corporate lifestyle that I've kind of set myself up
01:05:26for
01:05:26Or do I take this amazing opportunity that I've been given and how do I kind of do both?
01:05:30How did you know when it was time to just fully commit to music?
01:05:33I worked a corporate job for three years out of college and I needed to
01:05:37Like I didn't have parents money to like keep me afloat, but I just never gave up on music
01:05:42I slept less. I just did what I needed to do. Sometimes you got to burn both ends of the
01:05:47candle
01:05:48And make it happen. I think the key is going to be getting out of their heads
01:05:52Let's let the song do a lot of talking let the melody do a lot of talking and then let
01:06:00their tone do most of the work vocally
01:06:02Just give me a reason just a little bit's enough just a second we're not broken just bad
01:06:10And we can learn to love again
01:06:13I never stop it's still written in the skulls of my heart you're not broken just bad
01:06:21We can learn to love again
01:06:23We can learn to love again
01:06:24Oh, tear ducts and runs
01:06:27I'll fix it for us
01:06:29We're collecting dust
01:06:31But our love's enough
01:06:33You're holding it in
01:06:37You're far in a drag
01:06:39Oh, nothing is as bad
01:06:42As it seems
01:06:46As it seems
01:06:47We'll complete
01:06:48Just give me a reason
01:06:51Just a little bit's enough
01:06:54Just a second we're not broken just bad
01:06:57And we can learn to love again
01:07:00It's in the storm
01:07:02It's been written in the skulls of our hearts
01:07:05We're not broken just bad
01:07:08And we can learn to love again
01:07:10Just give me a reason
01:07:12Just a little bit's enough
01:07:14Just a second we're not broken just bad
01:07:18And we can learn to love again
01:07:29We can learn to love again
01:07:39We can learn to love again
01:07:42We can learn to love again
01:07:42We can learn to love again
01:07:42We can learn to love again
01:07:42We can learn to love again
01:07:48We can learn to love again
01:07:51Oh, nice!
01:07:55Yes!
01:07:59When you started seeing Audie, I was like,
01:08:02well, that's who I'd go with.
01:08:04And then Lil Miss Grace comes in, and I was like,
01:08:06oh, I'm sorry.
01:08:07It was so beautiful.
01:08:09You were one of those artists that I long for a record
01:08:12to come out from.
01:08:13You can't go wrong.
01:08:14I'm not gonna pick a person.
01:08:17I'm sorry, John.
01:08:18You guys really disappoint me a lot.
01:08:20What?
01:08:20It happens a lot with you guys.
01:08:22He'll figure it out.
01:08:23Thank you, coaches.
01:08:25John, you've got the final decision.
01:08:26Give us some thoughts, please.
01:08:27Audie, I feel like it's always so impressive to me
01:08:29when guys have that kind of range,
01:08:31and you really do have just a beautiful voice,
01:08:33and it does sound effortless.
01:08:34Grace, this was a revelation.
01:08:36We saw power, and you were so compelling on stage.
01:08:40It just felt like you belonged up there.
01:08:42Thank you so much.
01:08:44John, you got a tough decision to make here.
01:08:46Who is the winner of this battle?
01:08:48The winner of this battle is Grace.
01:08:51Grace, congratulations!
01:08:53Audie vs. Grace was so good.
01:08:54I just felt like Grace's presence on stage
01:08:57felt like she rose to the occasion.
01:08:59Beautiful job.
01:09:00I'm excited to work with Grace in the knockouts.
01:09:02I'm curious to see what she'll do next.
01:09:04I could not stop listening and watching her.
01:09:13Welcome back to The Voice Battle of Champions.
01:09:18We really met at a festival.
01:09:19You guys put out your first record.
01:09:21I loved it.
01:09:21And I was like, I'm gonna go out of my way.
01:09:23I remember seeing you guys and being like,
01:09:25oh, those look at Charlotte, guys.
01:09:26They're super cool.
01:09:27Now we're in it.
01:09:28I mean, since we started the dad life...
01:09:30That's when the relationship really congealed.
01:09:33Yeah, real life.
01:09:34Now we got a bunch of dirty diapers.
01:09:35That's right.
01:09:36I was changing diapers last night.
01:09:37Anyway, now that we've talked about duty,
01:09:39let's bring out some singers.
01:09:42Moses and Alexia, two beasts.
01:09:44Tell me about them.
01:09:45They're so good.
01:09:46Powerhouses, big voices.
01:09:47Okay.
01:09:48I was not surprised that I was gonna be partnered with you.
01:09:51Really?
01:09:51I told everybody that I was gonna be partnered with you.
01:09:53Really?
01:09:53Yeah, because our sounds are kinda similar.
01:09:57We're both R&B souls.
01:09:59I just found out that we're both Libras.
01:10:01And so we're both over-thinkers.
01:10:03We're both a little extra.
01:10:05But we vibed really well because he understood me
01:10:08in a way that I don't think anybody else would.
01:10:12How do you feel like we're about to finally do this,
01:10:14everything we've been working for?
01:10:16I'm stressed.
01:10:17I am too.
01:10:18When this is really what you live and breathe,
01:10:20there are no words to describe how much pressure you feel.
01:10:22This is the grandest stage I've ever been on.
01:10:24So to be able to have conquered the blind audition,
01:10:27I already feel like I've mastered another level of artistry.
01:10:35I heard the R&B, I heard the gospel, I heard rock and roll.
01:10:37I heard it all.
01:10:38Let's go do this.
01:10:39Let's do it.
01:10:40Adam, he incorporates a lot of different genres
01:10:42in his performance style,
01:10:44and that's something that I've always done.
01:10:45I'm ready to show him that he made the right decision
01:10:47and turn it for me.
01:10:52Let's do it.
01:10:53Let's do it.
01:10:54Let's do it.
01:10:54Triple turn, baby.
01:10:56My son is out here watching me.
01:10:58Bring him up here.
01:10:59Come on.
01:10:59Come on, Matthew.
01:11:00Who do you listen to, Matthew?
01:11:02My room five.
01:11:03My room five.
01:11:06After the blinds, y'all, I was like mom of the year.
01:11:13I am from a place where it's super small.
01:11:16Everybody knows each other.
01:11:17We have one grocery store.
01:11:19The voice has actually showed me how big life can actually be.
01:11:25Hey.
01:11:26What's up, ladies and gentlemen?
01:11:28It's absolutely mind blowing.
01:11:31Hey, guys.
01:11:32I want to win this battle because my children,
01:11:34they got to grow up and go into the world and figure it out.
01:11:38And if I could show them something amazing like this,
01:11:41I'm doing something right, you know?
01:11:43Commodore's Night Shift.
01:11:44Like, it's like a song I grew up with.
01:11:46It's also so fun because it's never been done on the show either.
01:11:50So we're special.
01:11:51Shocking, right?
01:11:52It's an honor to be singing this.
01:11:53The qualities of your guys' voices together.
01:11:56Oh, we've been having fun.
01:11:57We've been having a lot of fun.
01:11:58Let's hear it.
01:11:59I like seeing you excited, Adam.
01:12:00I'm excited.
01:12:01Gonna be some sweet sounds coming down on the night shift.
01:12:08Immediately, when Alexia and Moses started singing together,
01:12:12I couldn't stop smiling.
01:12:13You found another home.
01:12:15I know you're not alone.
01:12:18Alexia's voice sounds like she's not in a rehearsal
01:12:22for a battle round on the voice.
01:12:24It just sounds like all she wants to do is sing.
01:12:27You found another home.
01:12:28I know you're not alone.
01:12:30Moses just has this great, rasp, cool, different tone to his voice.
01:12:35And I love his attitude.
01:12:36I love the reverence that he sings with.
01:12:37I just really like his vibe as a human being.
01:12:40It's cool.
01:12:43Y'all are badasses.
01:12:44I was smiling the whole time.
01:12:46Yeah!
01:12:47I don't smile in public a lot.
01:12:50You know, I only smile at home.
01:12:51That means so much.
01:12:52That means a lot.
01:12:53Already, first take, the whole room, like, lifted.
01:12:55So, to keep you on that track, the more you let go of worrying
01:12:59about anything technical and you just have that joy.
01:13:03Just do a little bit.
01:13:04Yeah.
01:13:04Yeah, you can feel it from us.
01:13:06Take it off.
01:13:06It's like, you're Adam.
01:13:07And you're Benji.
01:13:08Like, ah!
01:13:10I'm nervous.
01:13:11I feel the same way.
01:13:11We are, like, losing it right now.
01:13:12We want to jump out of our body, for real.
01:13:15Well, that's good.
01:13:15Use that.
01:13:16You got to use that.
01:13:16You got to channel it.
01:13:17There's no mistake you could make that could be worse
01:13:20than letting the fear of making the mistake in the door.
01:13:23Ah.
01:13:23Right?
01:13:24Perfection is a dangerous way to look at things.
01:13:27That's why he's my phone call.
01:13:29My one phone call.
01:13:30Adam said, nobody's perfect.
01:13:33And I don't know why it got me today,
01:13:35but it was like a big weight lifted off my shoulders
01:13:38because I was so nervous.
01:13:42I think this experience is a really big joy for my family
01:13:46because I don't know if anybody besides a couple of my uncles
01:13:50have, like, made it out of Irvington, Alabama.
01:13:53And so for me to actually continue pursuing my career
01:13:58and never giving up, I think they're really proud of me.
01:14:01What would you say to someone that pulls from a lot of different
01:14:04influences and genres but wants to have continuity
01:14:06in how they present themselves?
01:14:07When I was a kid and I started writing songs
01:14:09and then got a record deal and then made an album,
01:14:12all along the way, I felt like I was still discovering who I was.
01:14:16That journey never ends.
01:14:18If it's genuine and sincere, I think people will really respond to it.
01:14:21Oof, that's confirmation. Awesome. Thank you.
01:14:24I wasn't expecting half of what he said, and it was so genuine.
01:14:27I was on the verge of tears a couple of times.
01:14:29For me personally, I just have a lot to prove to myself.
01:14:32I had a really bad stint with substance abuse.
01:14:35I was on the verge of quitting music, but I worked on myself.
01:14:38I got better. I healed.
01:14:40So to be sitting in front of Adam and he's affirming me in this way.
01:14:44Oh, good night.
01:14:47All right, let's do it again.
01:14:48It's gonna be a long night.
01:14:51Alexia and Moses, super special.
01:14:53Really complement each other.
01:14:55That was my favorite part of the day today.
01:14:56Yeah, yeah, you found enough.
01:14:59This is definitely the hardest decision, I think, of the whole bunch.
01:15:02Mostly because you just love the collaboration.
01:15:04It's like, you don't want it to break up.
01:15:10Yeah, that was good.
01:15:13Okay, Moses, the last little run there.
01:15:14What was that about?
01:15:15I don't know, something happened.
01:15:17Alexia, there's little parts of your runs.
01:15:19I hear a little Lauren hill in you.
01:15:20I love a little Lauren now.
01:15:21Which, I mean, dang.
01:15:23It's really fun to watch you guys get into your confidence.
01:15:26On that one, the energy just went up even another notch.
01:15:29Yeah, it was great.
01:15:30I mean, it keeps getting better.
01:15:31Thank you so much, Adam.
01:15:32And I'm gonna be sad, too, because I put you all together.
01:15:34Like, that's what we said.
01:15:36You're going for the win.
01:15:37You see those two other coaches over there?
01:15:39Legend, Clarkson?
01:15:40Yep.
01:15:40Dead meat.
01:15:42We're coming for you.
01:15:43Yeah, toast.
01:15:53Welcome back to the Battles.

01:16:31Sang of the joy and pain.
01:16:35Nice.

01:18:37Wow!
01:18:40Yes!
01:18:41So great!
01:18:42Yeah!
01:18:43What are you talking about?
01:18:47Hello, hello, hello!
01:18:48That's what I'm talking about!
01:18:49That was so cool!
01:18:51Alexia, your low part of your voice is so beautiful.
01:18:55Thank you!
01:18:56The little ache on your notes, ma'am.
01:18:58Yes, the rasp in your voice.
01:18:59You just are such a soulful, beautiful vocalist.
01:19:03I'm still very upset you're not on my team.
01:19:05I'm not sad, but...
01:19:07And then Moses, I felt like that was a revelation from you today.
01:19:10Your voice has a vibe and an energy to it,
01:19:13and I felt like your stage presence was very contagious.
01:19:16You just looked like a star up there.
01:19:18You really showed out, sir.
01:19:20Thank you so much, John.
01:19:21Moses, you surprised the hell out of me.
01:19:23That was really, really good, man.
01:19:24You did a great job.
01:19:25Thank you so much.
01:19:26I thought you were good in the blinds,
01:19:27but this is by far my favorite performance of yours.
01:19:30Like, wait a minute.
01:19:30Y'all didn't know what I could do in the blinds.
01:19:32Let me show you.
01:19:36Alexia, that ache in your voice,
01:19:38it's like this beautiful mix of singing,
01:19:41but like preaching and talking,
01:19:42and every part of the message,
01:19:44you realize that you are the vessel
01:19:45for something bigger than yourself,
01:19:47and it is so well done.
01:19:48And I am a giddy little school kid every time you come on stage.
01:19:53If I had to choose, I'd go more like you just because of the blinds,
01:19:56but Moses, you did a really great job.
01:20:00Thank you so much, buddy.
01:20:01Thank you, coaches.
01:20:02All right, Adam, tough decision coming up.
01:20:04Give us some thoughts on that battle first.
01:20:06First of all, you know I love you both,
01:20:07so it makes my decision like that much more impossible,
01:20:10which is a good thing.
01:20:11I'm so happy that you guys caught on to Moses,
01:20:14because also just beyond your amazing voice, by the way,
01:20:17which is so different, but just your spirit,
01:20:19like your vibe up there,
01:20:20literally one of the best vibrations ever.
01:20:23And Alexia, talk about the ache in your voice.
01:20:26Mm.
01:20:26Literally, there are just moments when I listen to you sing
01:20:28that just make me want to cry.
01:20:30It's beautiful what you do.
01:20:31It's like Gladys Knight.
01:20:32It's just so elevated, and it's so nuanced,
01:20:35and it's so different, but also rooted in something we all know and can feel.
01:20:40You are just a gift,
01:20:41and you both definitely deserve to move forward.
01:20:45I'm just stalling at this point,
01:20:46because I love y'all, and I really don't want to...
01:20:49Decisions, decisions.
01:20:50I don't want to do this, so I quit.
01:20:55Goodbye, everybody.
01:20:55It's been nice.
01:20:56I appreciate it.
01:20:57It was a good run.
01:20:58Got a decision here.
01:20:59Oh, man.
01:21:00Two great singers, awesome battle.
01:21:01There's no loser here.
01:21:02There's no one loses this one.
01:21:03Who is the winner of this battle?
01:21:07Um, all right.
01:21:12The winner of this battle is Alexia.
01:21:18Alexia, congratulations.
01:21:19You're moving on to the knockouts.
01:21:21The team had them.
01:21:22Alexia is one of my favorite vocalists.
01:21:24Her voice makes me want to weep.
01:21:25It's so beautiful and emotional and raw and broken,
01:21:27but also so strong and fortified.
01:21:30It's like all of the things that a voice could possibly have all in one voice.
01:21:34I love him.
01:21:35We know we love you.
01:21:35I feel like Alexia could definitely win the show.
01:21:37Coach, he's never reminded that Moses is available to steal.
01:21:40Moses, anything you want to say to your coach, Adam?
01:21:42Thank you for seeing me.
01:21:44Thank you for taking a chance on me.
01:21:45It was an honor to be a part of the team.
01:21:46And the time that we did have together,
01:21:48you poured a lot into me and I'll never be the same.
01:21:50So thank you so, so much.
01:21:52Give it up for Moses Chi, everybody.
01:21:58Hey, nothing I always know.
01:22:01We got a steal!
01:22:06John Legend!
01:22:08Moses was incredible.
01:22:10He was just radiating, like, positive vibes, good energy, star power.
01:22:17That kind of light on the show needs to continue to shine.
01:22:21I couldn't let you go home, sir.
01:22:22Moses, you are back in this competition.
01:22:25I am so looking forward to working with Moses in the knockouts.
01:22:28I can't wait to see where his taste is and what kind of song he wants to sing next.
01:22:32Yes!
01:22:33I'm excited to coach him.
01:22:36I'm so happy to do that.
01:22:37I'm so happy.
01:22:38I wasn't expecting to, but then he did that and I was like, hey, yeah.
01:22:41No, he did a great job.
01:22:42It was really good in rehearsal, but that was crazy.
01:22:44I'm still in the competition.
01:22:46I said I wasn't going home and I'm not!
01:22:50Thank you!
01:22:52Oh!
01:22:53Welcome to Team Legend.
01:22:54You see how happy Luna and Miles were?
