Transcript

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.

00:09:02Yeah.

00:09:03The battle starts now.

00:09:15Yes!

00:09:16Yeah!

00:09:17Oh my goodness!

00:09:22Eroah!

00:09:25Yeah!

00:09:25Yes!

00:09:26Baby, I just want you to get up

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 up

00:10:37Lately 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, can you focus on me?

00:10:57Yeah, baby, can you focus on me?

00:11:03Can you focus on me?

00:11:09Yeah, that was hot, that was hot, that was hot

00:11:11Yeah!

00:11:13That was good!

00:11:15I love it!

00:11:17Ladies, ladies, ladies!

00:11:19That was so good!

00:11:20Thank you! Thank you!

00:11:20Thank you so much!

00:11:22Woo!

00:11:23Oh my god, I was out here acting like y'all was on my team

00:11:26I was getting so excited

00:11:28That was so incredible

00:11:30Y'all were silky smooth with those harmonies

00:11:33It was, ah!

00:11:35Thank 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!

00:11:46I feel like I might go with Liv

00:11:48I just feel like there's, with that range that she has

00:11:51A 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!

00:12:12I'm not kidding

00:12:12Thank you coaches!

00:12:13What a decision Kelly Clarkson

00:12:15Oh my goodness

00:12:16Alright 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

00:12:42Kelly, 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 really bummed about having to pick one of you

00:12:53Over the other right now

00:12:55Ugh

00:12:57Look, there's no reason or rhyme

00:13:03The...

00:13:06The...

00:13:14The...

00:13:23The...

00:13:24The...

00:13:24Oh my god, you're both teenagers too

00:13:25This is insane

00:13:27Um...

00:13:27Oh

00:13:29Um...

00:13:29The...

00:13:33The winner of this battle

00:13:36Is McKinley

00:13:38McKinley, congratulations

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 us 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 2

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 gonna 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

00:14:29We 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 that 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

00:14:50Okay, 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?

00:15:05Oh no

00:15:06Oh my god

00:15:08There it is

00:15:09There it is

00:15:10Kelly Clarkson unleashes the brand new Super Steal

00:15:17What is this?

00:15:20The music's over now

00:15:21Look at me, oh my god

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

00:15:38It's really rare

00:15:40I knew it!

00:15:42You made us wait too, you made us wait

00:15:44I definitely played with the boys a little bit on that one

00:15:46I'd be like no

00:15:48Whatever

00:15:49I'll never let her go

00:15:51It's the battle of the 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

00:16:05Flawless execution of the Super Steal

00:16:06The 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

00:16:15That was crazy

00:16:15They were great

00:16:16But then I realized that I can't steal them

00:16:19Because the Super Steal

00:16:22That was insane, right?

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

00:16:38Kelly 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

00:17:04Now that the advantage is gone for the rest of the battles

00:17:06It'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

00:17:23This is my first rodeo

00:17:24Great, great

00:17:25I have ten amazing artists

00:17:26And the Battle Islands are our first glimpse into who they are beyond the blinds

00:17:29I mean, if I'm being honest, it should be more like that

00:17:34Yeah

00:17:34Bae 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

00:17:55They'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

00:18:16Because I know you're good, so

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 easy

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's the day

00:18:38Today's 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

00:18:45Yeah

00:18:45To 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 I 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

00:20:16I 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 and 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 Benji

00:20:39Good to meet you Benji

00:20:39Good to meet you guys

00:20:40Two guys from such legendary bands

00:20:42You know Benji

00:20:43Absolutely

00:20:44Good Charlotte

00:20:45Yes

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

00:21:19I feel like you kind of got to put people in situations that show different sides of them

00:21:24Because like this career you've got to step up and hit the ball

00:21:27In so many different situations

00:21:29The talent is just the ticket at the door

00:21:32A hundred percent

00:21:33This makes sense

00:21:34You guys are going to 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

00:21:39That is 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

00:22:11Bae's voice is very like folky

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

00:22:32Awesome

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 with Morgan Wallen

00:23:02You know 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 you'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 hip

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 going to bring some Hunter to that song too

00:23:48They're singing and then they're singing with somebody right

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

00:23:58Because 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 going to 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 going to love it

00:24:20I think I have like an idea

00:24:22But I don't know

00:24:23They're super different

00:24:27Hey, 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

00:24:39Oh

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

00:25:18We got a steal

00:25:27Welcome back to The Voice Battle of Champions

00:25:32Let's go fellas

00:25:34This battle begins right now

00:25:45Let's go fellas

00:25:46This battle begins right now

00:25:55Let's go fellas

00:25:57This battle begins right now

00:26:00Me in the first place

00:26:02Turn around, say that I'm the worst

00:26:04I guess I'm the problem

00:26:08You're me, it's never

00:26:10Do no wrong if I'm so awful

00:26:13Why'd you stick around this long

00:26:16If it's whiskey

00:26:18Why you keep on

00:26:20Pourting it off the shelf

00:26:22You hate it when

00:26:24You look at me

00:26:25You halfway see yourself

00:26:27And it got me thinking

00:26:29And find a problem

00:26:32You might be the reason

00:26:35All right

00:26:39Try to go our separate ways

00:26:42We're back and forth

00:26:44Like a swinging door

00:26:45And tomorrow's like yesterday

00:26:47Some days better than the night before

00:26:51You're back with me again

00:26:53Then you go tell your friends

00:26:56That I'm the problem

00:26:57Yeah

00:26:59You'll never do no wrong

00:27:01If I'm so awful

00:27:03Then why'd you stick around this long

00:27:07It got me thinking

00:27:09If I'm a 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

00:27:25Why you're on your way to waste another Friday night

00:27:29If I find a problem

00:27:32You'll miss

00:27:34Never do no wrong

00:27:35If I'm so awful

00:27:37Then why'd you stick around this long

00:27:41If it's whiskey

00:27:43If it's whiskey

00:27:44Why you keep on

00:27:45Put it off the shelf

00:27:47You hate it when

00:27:49You look at me

00:27:50You halfway see yourself

00:27:52And it got me thinking

00:27:55If I'm a problem

00:27:57You might be the reason

00:28:03You might be the reason

00:28:04If I find a problem

00:28:05You might be the reason

00:28:26You might be the reason

00:28:30I'm the reason

00:28:30I'm gonna do no

00:28:34I'm not trying to make my company

00:28:35I don't know

00:28:35I love you

00:28:36Yeah, yup.

00:28:38Hunter's voice is so strong and has so much presence

00:28:42and 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

00:28:49a little weird in a very cool way.

00:28:52If weird means sexy and intimate and rock and roll,

00:28:55it'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.

00:29:02I was like, why didn't I turn for you?

00:29:05It was just really cool.

00:29:07I know, right?

00:29:08And there is the conundrum.

00:29:10I know, this sucks so bad right now.

00:29:12Oh man, I'm just gonna say, if I were buying a record,

00:29:16I would more likely be attracted to bae's voice.

00:29:19So that's my leaning.

00:29:21Thank you, John.

00:29:23Hunter, I knew I was gonna love you.

00:29:24And you have one of those voices,

00:29:25like those big country festivals, those big arenas.

00:29:28Your voice will pierce through.

00:29:29You are a sure thing, in my opinion.

00:29:32Bae, you are the surprise for me,

00:29:34because I love your voice.

00:29:38Like I could see you performing in front of huge crowds too,

00:29:41but I see your voice being able to silence them.

00:29:43It is very intimate and rock and roll.

00:29:46You two are superstars in different ways for me.

00:29:49And I can't even believe I just used that word, but I did.

00:29:51Superstar.

00:29:52Just said it, just said it out loud.

00:29:54Hey, you're both really, really good.

00:29:56But I might lean a bit more towards Hunter.

00:29:59Thank you, Kelly.

00:30:01Thank you, coaches.

00:30:03All right, Adam, give us some thoughts before you tell us who won the battle, please.

00:30:06I just wrote a new song.

00:30:07It's called, This is Gonna Suck.

00:30:10So bad.

00:30:11I don't wanna do it.

00:30:12Is that the background vocals?

00:30:13Yeah.

00:30:15So bad.

00:30:16So bad.

00:30:17I quit.

00:30:19Bae, when I heard your blind audition,

00:30:20I remember being like, this kid understands rock and roll.

00:30:23And I love the fact that these guys see it in you now.

00:30:26You have like a tried and true like authenticity about you that is completely unfiltered and

00:30:32really raw.

00:30:33Even your talking voice is cool.

00:30:35Okay.

00:30:36He's just cool, man.

00:30:37The dude's cool.

00:30:38You know, in Hunter, we all knew it from the jump.

00:30:41Like when you came out here, everyone was like, I remember Hunter.

00:30:43That's the man.

00:30:44We know he's great.

00:30:44And so I don't want to let you down.

00:30:46You know, you went with me.

00:30:48You took a risk and I appreciate that.

00:30:50Bae, I was the only one who turned for you.

00:30:52So you had no choice.

00:30:53You're stuck with me for better or worse.

00:30:55I'll stay with you forever.

00:30:56Oh, oh, oh, stop it.

00:31:00Adam, tough decisions.

00:31:02Shut up.

00:31:03I'm just going to ask you this and then you can answer whenever you want.

00:31:06Throw it out.

00:31:07It's literally part of the show and I have to do my job just like you have to do your

00:31:10job.

00:31:11Okay.

00:31:11You have a job as well, Adam Levine.

00:31:15Okay.

00:31:16Adam.

00:31:16Okay.

00:31:17Who is the winner of this battle?

00:31:19I'm going to say.

00:31:23Oh, I'm sweating for you.

00:31:25I hate this.

00:31:26I'm sweating.

00:31:26You guys don't know what I'm going to say, right?

00:31:28He doesn't know what he's going to say.

00:31:29Oh, I know.

00:31:30What are you going to say, Adam?

00:31:32What are you going to do?

00:31:33You warned us that this is going to be hard.

00:31:36Can I take like a five minute?

00:31:37I'm just kidding.

00:31:38Um, all right.

00:31:39I'm just going to say a name.

00:31:44The winner of this battle is Bae.

00:31:52Oh!

00:31:53Bae, you're moving on to the knockout.

00:31:55For Team Adam, congratulations.

00:31:57Bae and Hunter was really, really good and I thought that I was going to go with Hunter

00:32:02the whole time.

00:32:03Thank you, brother.

00:32:04You really surprised me today, man.

00:32:06Bae just takes things and does things that make my soul feel good.

00:32:09Fantastic.

00:32:10Appreciate it.

00:32:10You won it.

00:32:11I feel amazing.

00:32:12I wanted to be the surprise.

00:32:14I wanted to be able to show another tool that I have.

00:32:17Let's go.

00:32:17Knockouts.

00:32:18Team 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.

00:32:25I stand firmly behind my decision in picking you as my coach, Adam.

00:32:28I appreciate y'all so much.

00:32:29Seriously.

00:32:30It's definitely bittersweet because Hunter's amazing.

00:32:34So, I feel like it was a loss.

00:32:35I wish I had a save.

00:32:36I do.

00:32:37I felt your pain, brother.

00:32:40You're right.

00:32:41Hunter was that three-chair turn we all kind of expected him to go through.

00:32:44But Bae was a surprise.

00:32:46There's gonna be nobody like Bae.

00:32:48Yeah.

00:32:48I love Bae.

00:32:49For some reason, Bae stood out today for all of us.

00:32:53That was great.

00:32:54That was really good.

00:32:55Oh, man.

00:32:55I felt so horrible for you.

00:32:57I'm glad you picked Bae.

00:33:05Welcome back to the Battles 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.

00:33:14And 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.

00:33:27Someone 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.

00:33:34I feel like your experience in this business is really special.

00:33:38You've been a songwriter, you've been behind the scenes, and now you've really

00:33:42really blossomed.

00:33:42She's finally taken off as an artist.

00:33:45Her hooks are all over the world.

00:33:47Hello, man.

00:33:47It's just a joy to see it.

00:33:49I've gotten a duet with her.

00:33:53Of course, you're a Grammy winner.

00:33:57Man, that sounds crazy out loud.

00:33:59It was supposed to happen.

00:34:01I've learned so much from you, so hopefully 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.

00:34:09And I think you're going to be so helpful to our artists here.

00:34:11So let's do it.

00:34:13Yes.

00:34:13So this pairing is AJ, young guy, sings country.

00:34:17And Lucas is kind of a mix of genres, but he played the piano.

00:34:22So I felt that connection to him, and I got him over Adam, which anytime I went over Adam

00:34:26is nice.

00:34:27John actually paired me with Lucas, and I've honestly looked at him like an older brother,

00:34:32because I have an older brother who's supposed to his age.

00:34:35That's why we do music.

00:34:36That's why.

00:34:37Even though he's 14, AJ is singing like a seasoned professional.

00:34:44Coming from a small town, you know, this is the biggest opportunity I've ever had in

00:34:48my 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.

00:34:55Not 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 papa, he actually had a stroke.

00:35:05He was in the hospital while I was auditioning.

00:35:08It was just amazing to let him know that I made a team, and he was so happy.

00:35:13I mean, he was crying.

00:35:14I really want to do my best for him.

00:35:17Hello.

00:35:18Hey, guys.

00:35:20We got a special guest, Ms. Money Long.

00:35:22How are you?

00:35:23Oh, my God.

00:35:24What's up, everybody?

00:35:25Seeing John and Money was just nuts, because she's got some gnarly tunes.

00:35:29Can I give you a hug?

00:35:30How are you?

00:35:30She is the real deal.

00:35:32When she sings live, it's like you're listening to her recordings.

00:35:35There's no auto-tune.

00:35:36It's just raw talent.

00:35:38All right.

00:35:38Let's hear that duet.

00:35:40You 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 Hayes' Wanted.

00:35:55Cause I wanna wrap you up.

00:35:58Wanna kiss your lips.

00:36:02I love the juxtaposition of their voices.

00:36:05Lucas has this, I wanna 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.

00:36:11All I ever want.

00:36:13Where he does his runs, sometimes you can tell he's feeling himself.

00:36:17Like, I know I sound good.

00:36:19Cause I just wanna wrap.

00:36:21And then AJ's voice is just so pure and sweet.

00:36:24It's so innocent.

00:36:24And just, ugh, I just wanna pinch his cheek.

00:36:27He's so precious.

00:36:29I was clean.

00:36:31Lovely.

00:36:32AJ, your voice is so pure.

00:36:34It's very sweet.

00:36:36I would love if you just kinda slow down a bit at the ends of your phrases.

00:36:39Like, you know I fall apart without you.

00:36:44Okay, yes ma'am.

00:36:45You know, be a little bit more dramatic.

00:36:47Lucas, you have some really cool character.

00:36:50Like 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.

00:36:59When we hear John sing, we know it's him immediately.

00:37:01Right?

00:37:02So what are those things about your voice that stick out?

00:37:06That's great feedback.

00:37:07I love it.

00:37:07Thank you so much.

00:37:08See, that's why we got Money Long here, y'all.

00:37:09I know, right?

00:37:10Yeah.

00:37:10That's what's up.

00:37:11I think that first chorus needs to be toned down a little bit.

00:37:15Be a little gentler.

00:37:18You, I 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.

00:37:29Nothing 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.

00:37:35And then at the end, it's like, oh, I'm sorry I yelled.

00:37:37You 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.

00:37:50This song's a challenge for me because it's really outside of what I usually do.

00:38:00How 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.

00:38:20This kind of stemmed from having ADHD as a kid.

00:38:24And while a lot of people think it's a curse, it's really more of a blessing.

00:38:28Because once I found that, I was able to hyperfixate.

00:38:31It was never a chore to practice and play and sing.

00:38:34So it really is like a superpower.

00:38:36Yeah!

00:38:38Making it to the Knockouts would be an absolute gift.

00:38:40Because this is the best coaching you can get anywhere.

00:38:43I'm looking forward to this performance.

00:38:45It's going to be exciting.

00:38:46Appreciate you, Johnny.

00:38:46I wouldn't want to be you.

00:38:48It's always tough.

00:38:50Every time.

00:38:50And sometimes you think you know who's going to win when you go through rehearsals.

00:38:54But this song has the ability to give me chills.

00:38:58And so I want to feel something.

00:39:00If I was one of the others, I would be trying to get whoever you don't keep.

00:39:04Who would you pick as the winner of this battle?

00:39:08Get the voice official app now and play along.

00:39:19Welcome back.

00:39:23AJ's going next.

00:39:24AJ and Lucas.

00:39:26Who do you think you're going to pick?

00:39:27We'll see.

00:39:28Hey, I let it happen in a moment.

00:39:30He's only 14.

00:39:32Two talented singers go head-to-head from Team Legends.

00:39:35The 14-year-old from Georgia, AJ Robinson.

00:39:40AJ.

00:39:4214, bro.

00:39:43Versus the 21-year-old from New York, Lucas West.

00:39:50He is so cute.

00:39:53Luna and Miles love him.

00:39:56Let the battle begin.

00:40:06You know I'd fall apart without you.

00:40:10I don't know how you do what you do.

00:40:17Cause everything that don't make sense about me

00:40:23Makes sense when I'm with you.

00:40:28Like everything that's green, girl, I need you.

00:40:33But it's more than one and one makes two.

00:40:38Cause I wanna wrap you up, wanna kiss your lips high.

00:40:45I wanna make you feel wanted.

00:40:50And I wanna call you mine.

00:40:53Wanna hold your hand forever.

00:40:58Never let you forget it.

00:41:01Cause baby, I wanna make you feel wanted.

00:41:08As good as you make me feel,

00:41:11I wanna make you feel better.

00:41:17Better than your fairy tale.

00:41:20Better than your mystery.

00:41:23You're more than everything I need.

00:41:26You're all I ever wanted.

00:41:32All I ever wanted.

00:41:35Yeah.

00:41:37Yeah.

00:41:40Cause I just wanna wrap you up.

00:41:44Wanna kiss your lips high.

00:41:48I wanna make you feel wanted.

00:41:52And I wanna call you mine.

00:41:56Wanna hold your hand forever.

00:41:59And never let you forever.

00:42:00And never let you forget.

00:42:03Yeah.

00:42:05Yeah.

00:42:05I wanna make you feel wanted.

00:42:09Baby, I wanna make you feel wanted.

00:42:22Baby, I wanna make you feel wanted.

00:42:36You're both so good.

00:42:37AJ, I can't escape how utterly cute you are.

00:42:41You're good.

00:42:42It's true though.

00:42:43You're just so cute.

00:42:44In that little cowboy hat.

00:42:47And I wanna put you in my pocket.

00:42:49You're so cute.

00:42:50You're so cute.

00:42:50Just making it weird.

00:42:51I know.

00:42:52I know.

00:42:52Your voice, it is enormous.

00:42:55We're 14 years old.

00:42:57Thank you so much.

00:42:59Lucas, ooh.

00:43:01You got me with that falsetto number.

00:43:04It was so good.

00:43:06But AJ, you are just so freaking cute.

00:43:09He's 14 and he's got a belt buckle almost as big as his head.

00:43:14And he's just like, I could not take my eyes off of the little howdy duty.

00:43:18I love you so much.

00:43:21Just give it a second.

00:43:23AJ, you're really cute, man.

00:43:27I'm just kidding.

00:43:28I'm joking.

00:43:29You know what?

00:43:29You are great.

00:43:30And I know you're 14.

00:43:31And I know that there's a lot that can happen with nerves.

00:43:34I think as the years go by, it's gonna be a really cool thing to watch you grow.

00:43:37Lucas, you have a really soulful voice, man.

00:43:39I really, really am a fan of what you do.

00:43:41I think that maybe in this moment in time, I would say Lucas is there.

00:43:45He's ready.

00:43:45But you both did really, really great.

00:43:47And I'm proud of both of you guys.

00:43:49Thank you, coaches.

00:43:50Yes, sir.

00:43:52All right, John, tough decision.

00:43:53But first, give us some thoughts.

00:43:55You are very cute, AJ.

00:43:57Oh, my God.

00:43:57As we've discussed.

00:43:59But-

00:43:59It's obvious.

00:44:00Your voice, it's just really lovely to listen to.

00:44:03Your tone was perfect.

00:44:04It sounded exactly the way it needed to sound for this song.

00:44:07Lucas, every time you sang, it had texture, it had soul, and that falsetto part was my absolute favorite part.

00:44:15It was just gorgeous, and it's really cool to watch and to listen to.

00:44:19Thank you so much, John.

00:44:21Appreciate it.

00:44:21All right, John, you've got a tough decision to make.

00:44:23Who is the winner of this battle?

00:44:29The winner of this battle...

00:44:35...is Lucas.

00:44:36Lucas!

00:44:37Congratulations!

00:44:38You're moving on to the knockouts!

00:44:40AJ's so talented, especially for how young he is.

00:44:43And he's got a great future ahead of him.

00:44:45But Lucas was just so soulful and flawless.

00:44:48He had a perfect approach to this song.

00:44:50I couldn't send him home.

00:44:52I love Lucas.

00:44:53I love AJ!

00:44:55Oh, we know!

00:44:57Give it up for AJ Robinson, everybody!

00:45:00Watching AJ go home was so hard for me.

00:45:03Lucas, look, he deserved it.

00:45:05He's a great singer.

00:45:06But if I'd had a seal, 100%, I would've stolen AJ.

00:45:11Dog, you broke my heart!

00:45:14I wish I had a seal!

00:45:18He did look like little Woody from Toy Story, though.

00:45:22There's a snake in my boot.

00:45:29I'm very excited.

00:45:31My stomach's churning.

00:45:35Since I was six years old, I made a vision board that my dream is to be on The Boys.

00:45:38From Team Adam!

00:45:40Jolly Boy!

00:45:41I can't wait to hit the stage and wow the audience.

00:45:44Versus Bichu Belle!

00:45:45I'm ready for this.

00:45:46Let's go!

00:45:47Woo!

00:45:56Welcome back to The Battles premiere.

00:46:00All right, I need a steal, friends.

00:46:02Somebody hook me up.

00:46:03I only have one steal in The Battles and I'm gonna use it wisely.

00:46:06We used to have saves and steals.

00:46:07Now we just have steal.

00:46:09So, move me!

00:46:10Make me press my button!

00:46:12She was like the only young pop girl.

00:46:15Bijou?

00:46:16Yeah.

00:46:16Bijou can hang with Jolly.

00:46:19They are the two younger...

00:46:20Young ones.

00:46:22Jolly and Bijou, they're my two wild cards.

00:46:25I wouldn't say that either one of them fits perfectly in anywhere, which is great.

00:46:28That's what I love about them.

00:46:29But, in a way, they had to fight for that spot.

00:46:32To be coached by freaking Adam Williams.

00:46:34I know!

00:46:34What's happening?

00:46:35Oh my god, can I see this?

00:46:36Is this real?

00:46:37Die For You by The Weeknd.

00:46:38It does strangely fit.

00:46:39The Weeknd has edge and has some grit and some things I think that can do both of you right.

00:46:44They're doing a song that probably they never expected in a million years to be doing,

00:46:47but I kind of like that as well.

00:46:51You're gonna make it through this whole thing.

00:46:52You gotta rise to the challenge now, because there's gonna be a lot more where that came from.

00:46:55Maybe I would die for you.

00:46:58Ooh!

00:46:58That was good.

00:46:59Bijou's willingness to try and just like go after it, I think that's her biggest strength.

00:47:04I would die for you.

00:47:05Jolly's voice, I like how casual and cool her voice is, and then there's moments where she does something that

00:47:10shows athletic singing.

00:47:12And I really dig that style about her.

00:47:15Hey man, first pass, I'm happy.

00:47:17Sounds great.

00:47:18Bijou, are you know Florence and the Machine?

00:47:20Like I hear a little bit of that.

00:47:22You can clearly handle like the rhythmic stuff.

00:47:23I think when you're slightly unsure of something, you tend to be a little flat.

00:47:26Okay.

00:47:27Try to lean a little sharper, and that might help you calibrate it a little bit more.

00:47:31Adam 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.

00:47:39Even though it can be challenging, I'm gonna work on that.

00:47:41I'm excited to kind of show a different part of my artistry.

00:47:45Jolly, in the lower register, it seemed like it was really low for you.

00:47:48It's tough to find the balance.

00:47:49So, let's do it a half step up, and you know what?

00:47:52It has to be right for both of you guys.

00:47:58They're already kind of leaps and bounds ahead of where they were 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 gonna show their best.

00:48:09Oh my god.

00:48:10That's better.

00:48:11That's like so much better.

00:48:12It does feel better.

00:48:14Bijou, I noticed that you weren't actually really flat at all.

00:48:18Yeah, and I feel like the feedback made you a little bit more nervous.

00:48:21Get out of your head.

00:48:23Yeah.

00:48:24It's just a little nerve-wracking being in the room, especially because it's Adam Levine.

00:48:28I have a lot of experience singing background, but if I want to win this battle,

00:48:32I'm gonna have to step into center stage for this performance.

00:48:58Let's go.

00:49:02Let's go.

00:49:03Let's go.

00:49:30Let's go.

00:49:32Let's go.

00:49:33Let's go.

00:50:02Let's go.

00:50:03Let's go.

00:50:31Let's go.

00:50:37Let's go.

00:50:55Let's go.

00:50:57Let's go.

00:50:58Let's go.

00:51:00Let's go.

00:51:02Let's go.

00:51:03Let's go.

00:51:03It just looked like you wanted to be there and were excited to be there and gave us your all

00:51:09Raleigh I was so impressed with that

00:51:12It was like a little bit understated in a lot of ways and you seem very in control

00:51:15It was funny because at the end you're like oh my god

00:51:19But during the performance it felt like you were not nervous at all. Thank you coaches

00:51:24Adam great battle. What were your thoughts?

00:51:26Man, I'm really proud of you guys. I think for me the number one thing is believability

00:51:30You really want to believe someone when they're singing a song and you guys both really accomplished that because you

00:51:35both

00:51:35Really saying with all your heart out there today. The time has come who is the winner of this battle?

00:51:40The winner of this battle

00:51:42is Jolly

00:51:45Congratulations

00:51:47Jolly's got a killer voice so soulful. She's really really talented

00:51:53I feel like Jolly'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. Oh, she was crazy

00:52:09Welcome back to the battles

00:52:11I'm sad that Kelly can't be here today, but we have full trust that she's gonna bring someone great absolutely

00:52:18Mentor us, so I'm excited to see who it is. I think I'm ready

00:52:23Thank you. I think I got the hang of this

00:52:26All right, here we go. Oh

00:52:29I got my shoe in case I need it

00:52:32Is that J.W. and Blair?

00:52:35Hi

00:52:35Come on over

00:52:36Oh my gosh, seeing Jennifer Hudson was absolutely incredible. I was super starstruck

00:52:41She's been in musical theater. She's an actress and also dream girls. It's just one of my favorite movies

00:52:47I love John. I do and I love Adam. I do but I mean Kelly is the queen

00:52:54Exactly

00:52:54Yeah, and she put two country powerhouses together

00:52:58J.W. and Blair they are the old-school country mess-up and

00:53:03They're singing never again again by leanne warmack. Tell me about yourselves. I'm from

00:53:10Southwest Georgia and currently live in nashville

00:53:13So you're engulfed in country. Oh, yeah

00:53:15I can hear it in your voice

00:53:20Blind audition was a crazy day. I 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 and as a coach she could really help currently

00:53:35I try to write every single day. It's not full-time. I do bread deliveries in the morning. Oh, do

00:53:40you got sourdough?

00:53:41Yeah, they do make sourdough

00:53:45My music roots come from my dad. He mostly sings in the choir, but he's good at karaoke, too

00:53:52My dad's uncle was a really good piano player. He played with waylon jennings and johnny paycheck back in the

00:53:5860s and 70s

00:54:00So it's kind of crazy that maybe I get to carry on that legacy

00:54:05Never again

00:54:06For them to deliver a traditional country song that I think is one of kelly's favorites as well. That's a

00:54:15huge task

00:54:19Blair's voice

00:54:21The quality of it is so beautiful. It 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 because it's coming out so effortlessly

00:54:38Come on

00:54:39I like that. I was hoping for a shoe. You know what?

00:54:45Before the shooter hand go up

00:54:47Okay, we got to get that first. I said lord is up

00:54:51That ending took me out

00:54:53That's a compliment

00:54:54You seem a little nervous

00:54:56Just a little but that's passion

00:54:58That's okay. I use every emotion

00:55:00I'm excited. You 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 at the doom like

00:55:10I didn't know that was coming and you may want to respond to it

00:55:12Leave room to surprise yourselves

00:55:14Okay

00:55:14Now you seem to emote more emotion

00:55:17And you seem to be concerned about her

00:55:19But baby, this is a competition

00:55:21Okay, I'll stop being so nice

00:55:23Don't be so nice

00:55:24Sorry, move over little sister

00:55:26Alright, get your guitar out of my face

00:55:28How about you? How are you feeling Blair?

00:55:32When I first heard this song it reminded me when I first started singing back in Texas

00:55:36A lot of this, a lot of Dolly, a lot of Patsy Cline

00:55:38So it really just took me back to that and my West Texas roots

00:55:43Leigh Ann Womack actually attended school right 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

00:55:52I've actually attended the same college

00:55:54Even my coach is a Texan

00:55:56So 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 a super classic country sounding song

00:56:17I'll say never

00:56:19I'll say never

00:56:22It's amazing to witness

00:56:23They almost sound like a radio record

00:56:25Again

00:56:26I can see why Kelly put them together but

00:56:29Why would you make it this difficult for yourself?

00:56:32Whew, how are you gonna choose?

00:56:34I don't wanna know

00:56:37That was worlds apart

00:56:39Better

00:56:40Don't question yourself

00:56:41It felt better

00:56:42Make Kelly proud

00:56:43We will

00:56:44We will

00:56:44But don't forget

00:56:45Although you're singing together

00:56:46You're singing for the same spot

00:56:49You 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 had talked her through things

00:56:5930 seconds out

00:57:00I love this next song

00:57:01But I still wanna work with Kelly

00:57:03And I don't wanna go home before I get the chance to do that

00:57:08Claire, over!

00:57:11It would definitely be heartbreaking to lose this battle

00:57:14Alright

00:57:15Versus

00:57:16JW Griffin

00:57:18I would definitely be happy for JW if it did go that way

00:57:22J-Dub!

00:57:23But

00:57:24It is a competition after all

00:57:26So

00:57:27May the best man win

00:57:28Woo!

00:57:37Welcome back to the Battles at Universal Studios Hollywood

00:57:42Oh, I love J-Dub!

00:57:46Yeah, they're great

00:57:47The battle starts now

00:57:56Never again, again

00:58:01Once more I'll let you back in

00:58:07I know how the story ends

00:58:12But I can't help myself

00:58:16Nice!

00:58:17You'll break my heart, I know

00:58:22Through my tears I'll watch you go

00:58:28Yeah

00:58:29And just like it's always been

00:58:33I'll say never again, again

00:58:40Each time you leave

00:58:45I'll say I've had enough

00:58:48Yeah!

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 my back

00:59:11Yeah!

00:59:13Yeah!

00:59:14But I want to look at you

00:59:18Raise my defenses down

00:59:22Woo!

00:59:24And here comes ever again, again

00:59:28Once more I'll let you back in

00:59:34Once more I'll let you back in

00:59:34Then just like it's always been

00:59:40I'll say never again, again

00:59:45Then just like it's always been

00:59:52I'll say never

00:59:55I'll say never

01:00:02Again

01:00:08Again

01:00:09Again

01:00:22That 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 it you went up against my guy jdub

01:00:48You have just one of my favorite voices

01:00:50Thank you one of those all-time classic voices and I want to own the records you haven't made yet.

01:00:56I'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 jdub 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

01:01:28out. Oh, man. I love jdub

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

01:01:56Jay 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 J.W.

01:02:26J.W. Congratulations

01:02:27You are moved on to the knockout

01:02:30There's just something so special about J.W.

01:02:33Oh, I love him

01:02:34He opens his mouth and you are

01:02:37Just at attention and he's a storyteller

01:02:39Great job. Thank you so much

01:02:40I love the rehearsal by the way

01:02:42I didn't hear you take it up

01:02:44They never showed me where you took it up

01:02:46Because I felt like I didn't do enough

01:02:48I loved it

01:02:49I loved it

01:02:49It was really good

01:02:50Knowing that like that little bit of insight that he knew to change it up

01:02:54To push himself is what gets you to that winner's circle

01:02:58I love you J.W. I love you too

01:03:00I knew if we did our best

01:03:02Good things were gonna happen on the stage

01:03:04And we both gave our all out there

01:03:06And I'm just obviously I'm happy with the outcome

01:03:09That was a great song

01:03:10He just sounds like oh he's a star

01:03:12I'm a fan

01:03:21Welcome back

01:03:24I remember as a young buck

01:03:27Auditioning for shows like this

01:03:29Oh you did?

01:03:30Yes, 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

01:03:38These next singers, they're quite different

01:03:41But I'm really excited for this duet

01:03:43I paired Audie and Grace because I felt like

01:03:45I could find a way for their styles to meet in the middle

01:03:48Grace sang Joni Mitchell

01:03:50Like she was transported from Woodstock or whatever

01:03:53Yeah

01:03:53And Audie came in singing Bruno Mars

01:03:55And his tone is very similar to Bruno Mars

01:03:57Yeah so I was like pop

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

01:04:07I have no backup plan

01:04:08I really just want to show Jon I can be his next winner

01:04:11They're going to sing Just Give Me A Reason by Pink and Nate Roos

01:04:14I was thinking we could do like a more stripped down version of it

01:04:18Love that, yeah that's awesome

01:04:19Tell me that you've had enough of us

01:04:24I think Audie is very like precise

01:04:27What's the goal here?

01:04:28How do I deliver?

01:04:29Grace is cool

01:04:30She's got this like swag even though she's 18

01:04:32She's young, yeah

01:04:33We can learn to love again

01:04:35I think she's got a good future ahead of her

01:04:38Beautiful

01:04:38You have lovely tones and beautiful voices

01:04:41Thank you

01:04:41I would say don't overdo the runs

01:04:44Tone tells me a lot more than a run will ever tell me

01:04:47Take out some of the notes

01:04:48You were going mmmm

01:04:49Something like that just mmmm

01:04:52Okay, awesome

01:04:55Ooh, something like that

01:04:56I love that, yeah

01:04:57With your voice it is very dynamic right

01:05:00When you're singing softly you gotta 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 so

01:05:06I know you had mentioned you were in an acapella group

01:05:08Like I'm going to be the music director of my acapella group

01:05:11Uh huh

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

01:05:16And push myself as a leader

01:05:17And now almost graduating from Cornell

01:05:20And faced with this weird crossroad

01:05:22Of do I pursue the corporate lifestyle

01:05:24That I've kind of set myself up for

01:05:26Or do I take this amazing opportunity that I've been given

01:05:28And 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

01:05:35Out of college

01:05:36And I needed to

01:05:37Like I didn't have parents money to like keep me afloat

01:05:40But I just never gave up on music

01:05:42I slept less

01:05:43I just did what I needed to do

01:05:45Sometimes you got to burn both ends of the candle

01:05:48Yeah

01:05:48And make it happen

01:05:49I think the key is going to be getting out of their heads

01:05:53Let's go Ari

01:05:55Let the song do a lot of the talking

01:05:57Let the melody do a lot of the talking

01:05:59And then let their tone do most of the work vocally

01:06:02Just give me a reason

01:06:04Just a little bit's enough

01:06:07Just a second

01:06:08We're not broken

01:06:10Just bet

01:06:10And we can learn to love again

01:06:13I never stop

01:06:15It's still written in the skulls of my heart

01:06:18You're not broken

01:06:20Just bet

01:06:21And we can learn to love again

01:06:23Oh, tear ducts and runs

01:06:26I'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

01:06:37Cause you're far in a drag

01:06:39Oh, nothing is as bad as it seems

01:06:46We're complete

01:06:48Just give me a reason

01:06:51Just a little bit's enough

01:06:54Just a second

01:06:55We're not broken

01:06:56Just bet

01:06:57And we can learn to love again

01:07:00It's in the stars

01:07:01It's been written in the skulls of our hearts

01:07:05We're not broken

01:07:07Just bet

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

01:07:16We're not broken

01:07:17Just bet

01:07:18And we can learn to love again

01:07:28We can learn to love again

01:07:38We can learn to love again

01:07:51Oh, nice.

01:07:55Yeah.

01:07:58Yes.

01:07:59When you started singing, I was like, that, well, there's, he's, that's who I'd go with.

01:08:04And then little Miss Grace comes in and I was like, oh, I'm sorry.

01:08:07Like, it was so beautiful.

01:08:08You were one of those artists that I longed for a record to come out from.

01:08:13You can't go wrong.

01:08:14I'm not going to 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.

01:08:24John, you've got the final decision.

01:08:26Give us some thoughts, please.

01:08:27Adi, I feel like it's always so impressive to me when guys have that kind of range and you really

01:08:31do have just a beautiful voice and 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.

01:08:53Adi versus Grace was so good.

01:08:54I just felt like Grace's presence on stage felt 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.

01:09:17We 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 going to go out of my way.

01:09:23I remember seeing you guys and being like, oh, those are good 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've 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, let's bring out some singers.

01:09:42Moses and Alexia.

01:09:43All right.

01:09:44Two 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 going to be partnered with you.

01:09:51Really?

01:09:51I told everybody that I was going to be partnered with you.

01:09:53Really?

01:09:53Yeah, because our sounds are kind of similar.

01:09:57We're both R&B soul.

01:09:59I just found out that we're both Libras.

01:10:01And so we're both overthinkers.

01:10:03We're both a little extra.

01:10:05But we vibed really well because he understood me in a way that I don't think anybody else would.

01:10:11How do you feel like we're about to finally do this?

01:10:14Everything we've been working for.

01:10:16I'm stressed.

01:10:16I am too.

01:10:17When this is really what you live and breathe, there 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, I already feel like I've mastered another level of artistry.

01:10:35I heard the R&B.

01:10:36I heard the gospel.

01:10:36I 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 incorporates a lot of different genres in 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 and turn it for me.

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, they got to grow up and go into the world and

01:11:37figure it out.

01:11:38And if I could show them something amazing like this, I'm doing something right, you know?

01:11:43Commodore's Night Shift, like, 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.

01:11:50Oh, it's so special.

01:11:50Which is shocking, 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.

01:12:08Immediately, when Alexia and Moses started singing together, I couldn't stop smiling.

01:12:18Alexia's voice sounds like she's not in a rehearsal for a battle round on the voice.

01:12:24It just sounds like all she wants to do is sing.

01:12:29I 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.

01:12:38I 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.

01:12:49You know, I only smile at home.

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 about anything technical and you just

01:13:01have 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.

01:13:07You're Benji.

01:13:09Like, 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.

01:13:14Well, 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 than letting the fear of making the mistake in the

01:13:22door.

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.

01:13:28That's good.

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, but 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 because I don't know if anybody besides a

01:13:49couple of my uncles have, like, made it out of Irvington, Alabama.

01:13:53And so for me to actually continue pursuing my career and never giving up, I think they're really proud of

01:14:00me.

01:14:01What would you say to someone that pulls from a lot of different influences and genres but wants to have

01:14:06continuity in how they present themselves?

01:14:07When I was a kid and I started writing songs and then got a record deal and then made an

01:14:11album, all 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.

01:14:22Awesome.

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.

01:14:34I was on the verge of quitting music, but I worked on myself, I got better, I healed.

01:14:40So to be sitting in front of Adam and he's affirming me in this way, oh, good night.

01:14:47All right, let's do it again.

01:14:51Alexia and Moses, super special, really complement each other.

01:14:55That was my favorite part of the day today.

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 fun.

01:15:11Yeah, that was fun.

01:15:13Okay, Moses, my last little run there.

01:15:14What was that?

01:15:15I don't know, something happened.

01:15:17Lex, 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, like...

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 going to 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.

01:16:12He was a friend of mine.

01:16:17And he could sing the song.

01:16:22His heart in every line.

01:16:26Ooh, my name.

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

01:16:35Nice.

01:16:36He opened up our mind.

01:19:00soulful beautiful vocalist

01:20:30what you do
