00:02:59Yes!
00:03:01Yes!
00:03:03Yes!
00:03:04Thank you, God
00:03:05What is your name?
00:03:07KJ Willis
00:03:09I'm 35 years old
00:03:10And I'm the singing barber from Memphis, Tennessee
00:03:1514 or 15 years ago, I started cutting hair
00:03:18And I would be in the barbershop singing
00:03:20And having a great, great time
00:03:22There was a time when he was most definitely cutting my hair
00:03:25If you get my drill
00:03:26Thank you
00:03:27And singing at the same time
00:03:28At the same time
00:03:29I did not get a family gift
00:03:31Oh, I charged him full price
00:03:32No, no, no
00:03:39To be a part of the first ever voice battle of champions makes me feel like a winner already
00:03:44All right, what y'all thinking about coaches?
00:03:46Kelly Clarkson
00:03:48Okay
00:03:48John Manchin
00:03:50Okay, wait a minute, y'all supposed to be on the same page?
00:03:52Kelly is a well-rounded artist
00:03:54Okay
00:03:55She has a history of wins
00:03:57That's the coach
00:03:59What? How can you lose with y'all Manchin?
00:04:01Kelly has the most wins
00:04:02Y'all gonna make me pick Adam Levine
00:04:04I like Adam
00:04:07KJ
00:04:08You're in very capable hands here
00:04:10With these two legends
00:04:12So I will
00:04:13I get to be one too?
00:04:14Oh sorry, not legends
00:04:15I don't want to give John the one up
00:04:17Oh, these two icons
00:04:18He named himself, I'm naming myself Icon
00:04:21Kelly Idol
00:04:22Kelly Idol
00:04:23It's sitting right there
00:04:24That's sitting
00:04:25That's sitting
00:04:25If you need to consult with anyone about your decision
00:04:29Just let me know
00:04:29All right
00:04:31I'm gonna coach you right off the bat
00:04:32You cannot teach someone to be that kind of passionate and comfortable on stage
00:04:35Yeah
00:04:36You have such a gift
00:04:37I would suggest just holding back a little bit
00:04:39And save those spots
00:04:41Because if you're doing it the whole time
00:04:42People can lose sight of how special it is
00:04:46If you choose me, which I hope you do
00:04:47I would just suggest picking those moments to shine
00:04:51So when you get to the finale
00:04:53People are like
00:04:53Damn
00:04:55Yeah
00:04:55I hope you pick my team
00:04:56You're so soulful
00:04:57Your range is incredible
00:04:59Thank you
00:04:59I will hand off to legend
00:05:02KJ
00:05:02What kind of music are you into?
00:05:04And what are you doing?
00:05:05I'm from Memphis, Tennessee
00:05:06Yeah
00:05:07I love love music
00:05:08That's how I fell in love with your music
00:05:09Oh, thank you
00:05:10Thank you
00:05:12Well, it was nice to meet you
00:05:15Continue
00:05:15Tell me more
00:05:16My dad is a pastor
00:05:18My mom is a pastor
00:05:19I grew up in the church
00:05:20In Memphis, you know
00:05:21There's a big soul scene
00:05:22There's a big live music scene
00:05:24Absolutely
00:05:25And I got a chance to tour with Babyface
00:05:26Amazing
00:05:28Your tone is impeccable
00:05:30You've got texture
00:05:31You've got soul
00:05:33You've got just sauce on it
00:05:36It's just a beautiful, beautiful voice
00:05:38I know you're going to do really well on this competition
00:05:41And I would love to be your coach
00:05:43I grew up as a preacher's kid as well
00:05:46Oh, damn
00:05:47And directing the church choir
00:05:49You get it
00:05:50I got a new song with Tasha Cobb's winner
00:05:51Oh, come on
00:05:53Come on
00:05:53I know where you come from
00:05:55I believe you can be amazing on this show
00:05:58Thank you so much
00:05:59I just want to say
00:06:00You mentioned Babyface
00:06:01And I've been able to work with him
00:06:02I actually worked with him
00:06:02I don't know if people know this
00:06:03On my very first record
00:06:04I'm only dropping this
00:06:06Because I'm just trying to win you over
00:06:07But I literally have a residency in Vegas
00:06:09And Babyface came to my show
00:06:11And he's like so supportive
00:06:14And I love working with him
00:06:16Babyface is a friend of mine
00:06:18That's fine
00:06:18He was at my house
00:06:19Well we were texting after my show
00:06:20We watched the Super Bowl together
00:06:22At my house
00:06:23Oh whatever
00:06:23I'm not that close
00:06:24But like I would hang
00:06:25I'm a huge fan too
00:06:27I know people see me as like
00:06:28A pop star
00:06:29Or in the country world too
00:06:31But I love
00:06:31I grew up on those Tony Braxton albums
00:06:33Like I grew up on everything he did
00:06:35I just you know
00:06:35Just think about it
00:06:37You know
00:06:38I just want you to know
00:06:40Babyface was able to come from R&B
00:06:42But become hugely popular across genre boundaries
00:06:46And so you never want to forget your roots
00:06:49Because they define who you are as an artist
00:06:51And I feel like I'm able to help you do that
00:06:53So let's do it together KJ
00:06:55Hey roots are important
00:06:56But so are wings
00:06:57I'm just saying
00:06:58So are wings
00:06:59Okay so you got two choices
00:07:01You got wings you got roots
00:07:02No I got both here
00:07:04Got both
00:07:05KJ who do you pick as your coach?

00:08:22John legend he knows my soul roots that church root and he knows how to cultivate it
00:08:30Yes ma'am yes ma'am
00:08:33That's the best possible choice
00:08:35I fought the good fight
00:08:37KJ was so good you know when they say I'm a huge John fan and I've turned around and I'm
00:08:41like
00:08:41Oh you feel it in your gut a little bit
00:08:43I'm back baby
00:08:44Hey
00:08:46I knew I didn't have a chance but I'm just gonna fight
00:08:49I love how you kept working at it though
00:08:50I was working at it
00:08:51You kept working at it
00:08:52I thought my wings thing was so good too
00:08:55I was like roots are great but don't you want to fly
00:08:58I hate when mom and dad fight
00:09:03I tell you what I'm real excited to be here
00:09:06Just walking in it's all becoming real
00:09:08Perfect
00:09:09They're fixing to go out and sing in front of these coaches
00:09:11I look at them I see phenomenal musicians
00:09:14Experts at their craft
00:09:15I would love to work with Adam Levine
00:09:17But I also love to work with Kelly Clarkson
00:09:20Because you know she's Kelly Clarkson
00:09:21I'm Houston Kelly we're already halfway there
00:09:25I'm a southern boy I live in Memphis Tennessee
00:09:29Welcome to Memphis Tennessee
00:09:30I've got some blues influence from being in Memphis
00:09:33And I've got some of the country influence from growing up in the south
00:09:36Morning everybody
00:09:37It is Sunday morning before church
00:09:42Something I love about living in the south is the outdoors
00:09:45I have great memories with my friends at the lake
00:09:48We love to go fish and hunt
00:09:49I suppose it's backwoods therapy
00:09:51Something about being out there and listening to music
00:09:54I think it just furthered my love for music
00:09:56And how much it impacts my life
00:10:00I started gigging out with a little band
00:10:02We'd go play shows around town
00:10:04It was a load of fun
00:10:05Then the Houston Kelly band formed
00:10:07And I've been playing with those folks ever since
00:10:09It's been a blast
00:10:12My grandfather
00:10:13I called him Pop was one of the biggest fans a guy could have ever had
00:10:17The song I'm going to be able to sing for the blinds
00:10:19Was my grandfather's favorite song that I would sing
00:10:23I found out I was going to be able to come out here
00:10:27For an opportunity at the blinds the day we buried Pop
00:10:33He wasn't just my granddad he was a friend
00:10:35You know
00:10:36That gummit y'all got me crying now
00:10:43I wish he had the opportunity to see what he supported me to be
00:10:51Put on my blue suede shoes and I bought you the plane
00:10:58Touchdown in the land of the Delta Blues
00:11:01In the middle of the pouring rain
00:11:04Then I'm walking in Memphis
00:11:08I was walking with my feet ten feet off a bill
00:11:11Walking in Memphis
00:11:15But do I really feel the way I feel
00:11:21They've got catfish on the table
00:11:25They've got gospel in the air
00:11:28And Reverend Green
00:11:30Be glad to see you
00:11:33If you haven't got a prayer
00:11:40But boy you got a prayer in Memphis
00:11:46Do a little number
00:11:49And I sang with all my might
00:11:52She said
00:11:53Tell me are you a Christian child
00:11:56And I said
00:11:57Ma'am I am tonight
00:11:59Walking in Memphis
00:12:03I was walking with my feet ten feet off a bill
00:12:06Walking in Memphis
00:12:10But do I really feel the way I feel
00:12:17Put on my blue suede shoes and I boarded the plane
00:12:28Did she turn?
00:12:30Did she turn?
00:12:30Did she turn like so close?
00:12:32You got it
00:12:33Did she turn like so close?
00:12:38I'm sweating
00:12:39I have never waited that long
00:12:41You are conniving
00:12:43I didn't
00:12:45I made a joke
00:12:45You were planning it the whole time
00:12:48I didn't
00:12:48I didn't
00:12:48I literally was thinking
00:12:50Well I already have country
00:12:52But then I was like
00:12:52Well I don't have anybody that sounds like this though
00:12:54You are so talented
00:12:55What is your name and where are you from?
00:12:58My name is Houston Kelly
00:12:59I'm from Memphis, Tennessee
00:13:02Houston Kelly from Team Kelly
00:13:03Welcome to Team Kelly
00:13:05I just am still so sweaty
00:13:07Houston Kelly
00:13:08It's like
00:13:08And then your name is Kelly
00:13:10I just can't even get over this
00:13:12Who did you grow up on?
00:13:14I'm just curious
00:13:14Like the artist that you love
00:13:15When I first started
00:13:17My dad's in the back
00:13:18We would ride around in his pickup truck
00:13:21And we would listen to Alabama's Greatest Hits CD
00:13:23Yes
00:13:23And I think that's where it all started for me
00:13:26Houston is so country that I don't even know like what to do about it
00:13:29I know
00:13:30You know what I love most is that Shelton isn't here
00:13:32Cause if he wears I know you'd pick him
00:13:34Oh
00:13:34If they were here it would be already over
00:13:37I know but he's not
00:13:38So I'm very excited
00:13:41His ghost haunts us everyday
00:13:43Seriously
00:13:43He does he has that effect it lingers
00:13:46Man I literally like
00:13:48She turned at the last second and blew our minds
00:13:49I was thinking about it too right when she did it
00:13:53And then I was like
00:13:54This is an uphill battle for me that I'm gonna lose
00:13:56Because she gets
00:13:57You ever notice how she gets a little more country
00:13:59When she starts to talk to a country artist?
00:14:00A little bit it's alright
00:14:01Well I get real country when I talk to my sister
00:14:03Cause she's from North Carolina
00:14:04And that's a different dialect
00:14:05See now this is what I didn't want to deal with
00:14:07You know what I mean?
00:14:07So that's why I didn't turn
00:14:08It depends on who I'm talking to
00:14:09He gets more L.A. when he talks to a country artist
00:14:12I try to get more country but it just sounds horrible
00:14:14But yeah man you're clearly where you should be
00:14:17And I'm happy for that but you're great man
00:14:19Thank you so much
00:14:21I really thought you gave a really strong performance
00:14:24Your voice has so much power to it
00:14:26Kelly's gonna be a great coach
00:14:27I'm so excited for you Houston
00:14:29So nice to meet you
00:14:29Yes sir thank you so much
00:14:32You have him as this like Toby Keith
00:14:34Little growl to you a bit
00:14:36Which I love
00:14:37Thank you so much
00:14:38You're just such a great solid country singer
00:14:41And I love that
00:14:42You don't screw this come on
00:14:46I'm so excited
00:14:47Houston was amazing
00:14:49I have never
00:14:50What I loved about Houston's voice is that he has this big round tone
00:14:54And I love his name as Houston Kelly
00:14:56Come on
00:14:56Hi dad
00:14:57I have one spot left and I really want something special
00:15:00Right now I have singer songwriter country
00:15:03It's just kind of all over the map
00:15:04But I am looking for soulful pop
00:15:07I would really like someone to fill it out in a different way
00:15:10Last day of blinds
00:15:11That much more crucial to get good people
00:15:13I have three spots left
00:15:14Just waiting to be inspired
00:15:15I wanna get my team full
00:15:18I'm a really big fan of all music
00:15:20But you know
00:15:21I'm just looking for something great
00:15:22I'm picky
00:15:23And at this point
00:15:24I just have to be patient
00:15:25And the right singers will come at the right time
00:15:27Still to come
00:15:28Our kids are full
00:15:33The competition between our coaches is in full gear
00:15:36I've also won this if you wanna take a look up there more than these boys
00:15:41My kids are here too by the way
00:15:43Oh
00:15:43I got kids
00:15:45Our kids are watching too
00:15:47Alright that sounded desperate
00:15:48And the artists don't disappoint
00:15:50But you know I never lie
00:15:53Oh
00:15:56Oh
00:15:57Oh

00:17:10My whole life has led up to this moment
00:17:11And I'm ready
00:17:12Our next artist
00:17:13Is entering now
00:17:25I love coffee
00:17:26It's part of the reason why I became a barista
00:17:29So you can't sleep
00:17:31Baby I know
00:17:32That's funny
00:17:33Espresso
00:17:34Customers are very interesting
00:17:35One of the regulars
00:17:36Her drink is a caramel blended
00:17:38With three shots of espresso
00:17:40Two salt packets on top
00:17:42Two raw sugar packets on top
00:17:44And then a shot of espresso on top
00:17:46She doesn't even use like a long straw
00:17:48She uses a short straw
00:17:49If you give her a long straw
00:17:51She'll ask for a short straw
00:17:52It's so weird
00:17:53People are crazy about their coffee
00:17:55They're very particular
00:17:57I'm Ashley Marina
00:17:58I'm 18 years old
00:18:00And I'm from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
00:18:03I've been singing since I can remember
00:18:05But songwriting is one of the most important things in my life
00:18:08I was on America's Got Talent when I was 12
00:18:11I'm actually doing an original song
00:18:13It's about my dad
00:18:15Who's always there when I need you
00:18:18For every single gig that I do
00:18:19My dad has always been there for me no matter what
00:18:22That was so emotional, so beautiful, so connected
00:18:26My whole family gives me so much support
00:18:28I love them to death
00:18:30It was an incredible experience
00:18:32But then I was cut after the second round
00:18:35When I was on America's Got Talent
00:18:37I was really, really young
00:18:39And now I'm 18 years old
00:18:41So these buildings back here are the music buildings
00:18:44I'm a commercial music major in Nashville
00:18:47I'm really trying to take advantage of everything around me
00:18:50And gig around and meet a lot of new people
00:18:54That's why I'm very grateful that I can be here
00:18:58Here we go
00:18:59A chair turn could change my life
00:19:01I don't really have a plan B
00:19:03So I am so down to do whatever it takes
00:19:16Alone in this house again tonight
00:19:22I got the TV on the sound turned down
00:19:28And a bottle of wine
00:19:32There's pictures of you and I
00:19:36There's pictures of you and I
00:19:36On the walls around me
00:19:38Oh, the walls around me
00:19:41Oh, the walls around me
00:19:42So long's me
00:19:43I'll never get over
00:19:45Walking away
00:19:53I've never been the kind to ever let my feelings show
00:20:08You're strong enough to let go of my pain
00:20:14To help with this pride
00:20:16Let it fall like rain from my eyes
00:20:28Tonight
00:20:29Tonight
00:20:29I
00:20:30Wanna cry
00:20:35tonight
00:20:36I
00:20:36wanna cry
00:20:37tonight
00:20:37I
00:20:46wanna cry
00:20:49Look at the time!
00:20:56Hi!
00:20:57What's your name?
00:20:59Hi, I'm Ashley Marina.
00:21:01I'm 18 years old, and I'm from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
00:21:04Pittsburgh!
00:21:06I love those boots. What's your background musically?
00:21:09I listen to a little bit of everything.
00:21:11I love your covers and everything.
00:21:13You can go from rock star to country.
00:21:16Okay, okay, okay!
00:21:18I could hear country in there.
00:21:19I could also hear other influences musically,
00:21:22which I think is really important.
00:21:23You were pitchy after we turned around,
00:21:25and I don't know if you got nervous.
00:21:27I noticed that too.
00:21:28It's like everyone around me is so like...
00:21:30No, it was funny though!
00:21:32It happens a lot, but this is the stage to get used to that.
00:21:36I just think you have a really killer voice,
00:21:38and I would love to help you tackle those nerves, girl.
00:21:43Hi, Ashley.
00:21:44Hi.
00:21:46Uh-oh.
00:21:47What?
00:21:47What did I say?
00:21:48No, it was how she responded to you.
00:21:49She got a little giddy.
00:21:51You know, it's crazy.
00:21:52Like, the Blonde Editions are kind of a grueling process
00:21:54because we're listening to so much,
00:21:55we're taking so much in.
00:21:57It almost gets harder to really be able to identify
00:22:00what is truly great, and what's really nice
00:22:04is when you have a moment like listening to you,
00:22:05you absolutely know the way you're listening to
00:22:07is really special.
00:22:09You tackling the nerves and you getting past that
00:22:11literally is the formula to do well and succeed on the show.
00:22:15That's what we're here for.
00:22:16We're here to make you that much more comfortable
00:22:17in front of audiences every night,
00:22:19and that is what will contribute to your success, for sure.
00:22:21Thank you, thank you.
00:22:23Hi, Ashley.
00:22:24Hi.
00:22:25Hi.
00:22:26I'm so excited for you.
00:22:27This is so cool.
00:22:28We heard your tone.
00:22:29We heard the way you jumped between your different parts
00:22:31of your voice, and it was really beautiful,
00:22:34and it was really tasteful, and it was really musical,
00:22:36and the fact that you're doing all that at the age of 18
00:22:39is just so impressive.
00:22:40You have this beautiful gift,
00:22:42and we're just here to cultivate it,
00:22:44help you develop the confidence you need,
00:22:46and I would love to be your coach on this journey.
00:22:48Thank you so much.
00:22:50All right, Ashley.
00:22:50Who do you pick as your coach?
00:22:57Come on.
00:23:02Come on.
00:23:03Come on.
00:23:04Come on.
00:23:04Come on, Ashley.
00:23:05I think that I'm going to have to go with John.
00:23:07Yay!
00:23:11Ashley!
00:23:13Thank you!
00:23:18I'm so excited.
00:23:20Triple turn, triple turn, triple turn.
00:23:25Ashley's 18 years old, so talented.
00:23:28I had a feeling you were going to pick Kelly.
00:23:29I've known it was you from the beginning.
00:23:30Oh, you knew!
00:23:32Amazing!
00:23:32It's interesting because, especially with the younger artists,
00:23:35when we turn, sometimes they get a little nervous,
00:23:37but Ashley got back on the plan,
00:23:39and it was a lovely performance.
00:23:41Hold it up in front of this camera.
00:23:43Ooh!
00:23:44I'm so excited to work with Ashley,
00:23:46and I'm catching up in that triple turn competition.
00:23:49Legend!
00:23:50Legend!
00:23:53Legend!
00:23:55Whoo!
00:23:56So far, there's been a lot of triple turns.
00:23:59Triple turn.
00:24:00Still.
00:24:02John and I both have two,
00:24:03and Adam's on fire right now.
00:24:05I'm getting a little worried about my super steal.
00:24:08You know your one triple chair turn away?
00:24:10Yeah.
00:24:11What happened?
00:24:12John could tie you right now.
00:24:13Yeah, it's 3-2-2.
00:24:14You realize there's a big advantage in the battles.
00:24:16Super steal.
00:24:17Super steal.
00:24:18We're all right there.
00:24:19Yeah, man, I'm right there, bro.
00:24:21What happens if we tie?
00:24:22Do they then count the two chairs?
00:24:24They count the doubles.
00:24:25Watch out, Adam.
00:24:25I know you've got a triple turn lead right now,
00:24:28but I'm coming for you.
00:24:31This triple turn competition is getting down to the wire.
00:24:34What's your take on it?
00:24:35I mean, things are neck and neck.
00:24:36With John and Kelly now tied,
00:24:39they'll have their sights set on a rebound with Adam.
00:24:41This is crazy.
00:24:42John and Kelly are tied.
00:24:44Bro, John, he made a push.
00:24:45He was struggling at first.
00:24:46Their strategies from this point on are gonna be crucial.
00:24:49The OG coach either is gonna lose his lead
00:24:51or leave him in the dust.
00:24:53This is gonna be fun to watch.
00:25:02Welcome back to The Blind Auditions
00:25:04at Universal Studios Hollywood.
00:25:10We're close.
00:25:11We're within one, sir.
00:25:13You're two, three.
00:25:13One away.
00:25:14It's hard.
00:25:14No one can dominate the triple turns.
00:25:16I feel like my comeback is on the way.
00:25:19Yeah.
00:25:19I've known that you guys are gonna be my toughest concentration of competition that I've ever faced.
00:25:25There's no dead weight here.
00:25:26No.
00:25:26There's no new coach.
00:25:27We are, like, head to head.
00:25:29You have to fight so hard.
00:25:30Yeah.
00:25:30If I don't fight super hard in a three-chair, there's no chance.
00:25:34Yeah.
00:25:35So, bottom line is the Battle of Champions is bringing out our best.
00:25:38Like, we have to bring our A-plus game or we're not gonna get it.
00:25:41That's right.
00:25:43It's amazing.
00:25:45Buenas, buenas.
00:25:47My name is Asis Guerra.
00:25:48I'm 20 years old and I'm from El Paso, Texas.
00:25:52When I was eight, I moved with my family to Texas from Mexico.
00:25:57That's where I started performing a lot.
00:26:01I am in a mariachi band that's called Mariachi Cuauhtli.
00:26:04I'm super excited about it.
00:26:08I'm currently living in Boston.
00:26:10I study at Berklee College of Music and I also get to perform.
00:26:13Being part of a musical theater show.
00:26:15I love the city.
00:26:17I will be singing El Triste's song in Spanish.
00:26:20Jose Jose is an artist that I've really looked up to.
00:26:23His style is just unique.
00:26:25And I would like to bring all those beautiful songs to people my age.
00:26:30And it's a huge honor to be performing it, especially here on The Voice.
00:26:35These coaches, the three of them, they're champions.
00:26:38So, a chair touring would literally mean the world to me.
00:26:50How sad was to say goodbye to God when we loved us more.
00:27:04And I was loved?
00:27:13And I was so happy.
00:27:13And I was so happy with you.
00:27:21And I was so happy with you.
00:27:30And that was so happy with us.
00:27:31And I would love the vision that I'm up to you.
00:27:42Oh
00:28:16Oh
00:28:23What's your name? I'm the season get around 20 years old a Mexican-American and I was born in Guadalajara
00:28:29Jalisco Mexico
00:28:32Oh
00:28:33That was so beautifully done. I loved it
00:28:35And then you kept being more impressive as the song went on and even your falsetto
00:28:40That was really cool, man. Who are some of the artists that have influenced you? I love Luis Miguel
00:28:45I love mariachi music. I love Vicente Fernandez Juan Gabriel
00:28:48Oh, man, I'm so stoked you're on the show. That was beautiful
00:28:53Congratulations. Thank you so much. Thank you, Kel
00:28:56That was absolutely a beautiful performance. Your voice is so rich and textured and we were hearing a really beautiful
00:29:04range
00:29:05Within your voice, but also your ability to go between your head voice and your chest voice really beautifully
00:29:11It's just all worked. So welcome to the voice. Thank you so much
00:29:16I always you know, it's funny when someone comes out and they sing in another language
00:29:20I always have to take a beat because I'm like, okay, I
00:29:24Want to turn because it's not in English like I'm my inclination is I want to be a part of
00:29:29this no matter what
00:29:30But then I go, okay, let's take a listen because there's other things I want to hear and so that's
00:29:35a
00:29:35Almost can be a novelty if you're not careful, but you have a lot of power and the way you
00:29:40delivered some of those lines towards the end
00:29:41I was like super happy. Thank you so much. Welcome to my team man. Thank you. I really really appreciate
00:29:46it. Let's go. Thank you
00:29:48I love Aziz
00:29:49I love someone that is gonna come out there and be bold and different. I'm a really big fan of
00:29:54singing in Spanish
00:29:55I just love having that kind of diversity on the team. It's great. Dos mas
00:30:02Who would you draft on your team get the voice official app now and play along with our champion coaches?
00:30:16Welcome back
00:30:19It's the final night of the blind auditions and with the clock counting down the stakes are higher than ever
00:30:25for the artists good luck
00:30:26Good luck sweetheart. Bye
00:30:29I
00:30:29Let's go let's go and the pressure is on for our coaches to round out their teams
00:30:35My anxiety levels are only mid right now just a couple spots left
00:30:38So we're very much fighting for the last bit of special that could be added to your team to elevate
00:30:43it
00:30:43There's a lot of pressure on you
00:30:51Let's see if these next artists have what our coaches are looking for
00:30:58This is not happening
00:31:00The whole world watches the voice for them to see me actually be on the voice would be crazy
00:31:15My name is Maria Kevorgian. I am 15 years old currently a sophomore in high school. I
00:31:21Love to sing and dance. I've been in choir for five years now
00:31:28I've been dreaming of this since I was like four years old
00:31:31I would go on the TV. My mom's like are you watching? I know Disney movies. I'm like no I'm
00:31:35watching the voice
00:31:35What are you talking about a chair turn could completely change my future?
00:31:41I want to get a chair turn. Just one. One's fine
00:31:54I try to talk to my piano
00:32:00Try to talk to my guitar
00:32:02Talk to my imagination
00:32:07Confided into alcohol
00:32:11A hundred million stories and a hundred million songs. I feel stupid when I sing
00:32:17Nobody's listening to me
00:32:21Nobody's listening
00:32:26Anyone?
00:32:28Please send me anyone
00:32:31Lord, is there anyone?
00:32:35I need someone
00:32:39A hundred million stories
00:32:42A million songs
00:32:44I feel stupid when I sing
00:32:49Nobody's listening to me
00:32:56Nobody's listening
00:33:00So good
00:33:04What's your name?
00:33:06My name's Marriott, I'm 15 and I'm from Burbank, California
00:33:10The great thing about being 15 years old and doing this
00:33:12You're not running out of time
00:33:13You're at the very beginning of this whole thing
00:33:15You have such a big beautiful gift
00:33:17I think today was timing
00:33:18It's just because my team was literally almost full
00:33:21I would have turned for you
00:33:22So please come back
00:33:23Thank you
00:33:24Thank you so much
00:33:26It is so hard to see talented people go home
00:33:30But especially someone that's that young
00:33:34Everybody saw me get my one audition
00:33:35Then I made it, whatever
00:33:36But they didn't see all the other doors that were closed
00:33:38Or all the other things I tried out for before
00:33:40So I hope she comes back
00:33:41And I hope she just picks a song
00:33:43That has a little bit more breathing room
00:33:44I'll be better on saturn
00:33:48None of this matters
00:33:50I'm dreaming, dreaming on saturn
00:33:55I'll be better on saturn
00:34:05I'm dreaming of saturn
00:34:16Hello, what's your name and where are you from?
00:34:19My name is Jason Farrell and I'm from Adondo Beach, California
00:34:22I know you
00:34:24I know you, you know me
00:34:25Many, many years ago
00:34:27We used to do duets together
00:34:29John was also there
00:34:30Oh my god, you were on there too
00:34:31On duets!
00:34:32Kelly Clarkson and I were on this show called Duets
00:34:35And every week would sing with our artists
00:34:39Our hallelujah was so good
00:34:41You're like a dude!
00:34:43I'm grown, I'm grown
00:34:44A lot of life has happened
00:34:45Oh my god!
00:34:46I love that Scissor song
00:34:47I just felt like you were having a little bit of control issues
00:34:50When it came to pitch and things of that nature
00:34:52You know I love your voice
00:34:54So I'm so sorry
00:34:55That would have been so cool
00:34:57Nice to see you, Jason
00:34:58Thank you, Jason
00:34:59Thank you, guys
00:35:01Man, you know, Jason
00:35:02I thought his tone was really cool
00:35:04It is about timing sometimes
00:35:06As much as we love Scissor
00:35:08Scissor's not easy to cover
00:35:10That's the conceit of this show
00:35:12Is that we can tell just by listening
00:35:14Without looking
00:35:15How talented they are
00:35:17How connected they are to the music
00:35:19What a great storyteller they are
00:35:20So I'm waiting to hear that
00:35:23For my blind audition
00:35:24I'm singing Teenage Dream by Katy Perry
00:35:27I'm making this song my own
00:35:28By starting it off a little slower
00:35:30I'm adding some runs
00:35:32And I have a little bit more
00:35:35Of a raspy voice than she does
00:35:37People usually think that I'm
00:35:39A country artist, actually
00:35:40And I am not
00:35:49You think I'm pretty
00:35:51Without any makeup on
00:35:54You think I'm funny
00:35:56But not to the punchline
00:35:58Oh, I know you get me
00:36:00So I let my walls come down
00:36:03Now, let's go on
00:36:09And we get just love
00:36:15We can dance
00:36:17Until we die
00:36:19You and I will be young forever.
00:36:24You make me feel like I'm living a teenage dream.
00:36:31The way you tell me you're high when I sleep is run away.
00:36:36And don't ever look back, don't ever look back.
00:36:40My heart stops when you look at me just one touch.
00:36:47Now baby, I believe this is real.
00:36:51So take a chance and don't ever look back.
00:36:56I'ma get your heart racing in my skin-tight jeans.
00:37:00Be your teenage dream tonight.
00:37:04I bet you put your hands on me in my skin-tight jeans.
00:37:09Be your teenage dream tonight.
00:37:11Be your teenage dream tonight.
00:37:17Whoo!
00:37:19Yeah!
00:37:22Nice towing me!
00:37:23Yeah!
00:37:28Thank you!
00:37:30She crushed that, bro. She crushed that.
00:37:32Wow, wow, wow. What's your name?
00:37:35My name is McKinley Brown. I'm 19 years old, and I'm from New Castle, Indiana.
00:37:39Indiana!
00:37:41Me too.
00:37:42I didn't even recognize the song at first because you had put such your own thing to it.
00:37:49You're tasteful. You have an ethereal quality to what you do.
00:37:53My favorite thing about it was when we turned around, you were just so lost in what you were doing.
00:37:59Just to see you in your element, eyes closed, standing there stoically singing is like the kind of purity that
00:38:06I love the most.
00:38:08And the way that I would think about Adele doing it, or the way that I would think about one
00:38:10of those heavyweight, like incredible vocalists just like blowing our minds.
00:38:14And I think that that was just the tip of the iceberg.
00:38:16I'm a big fan. Big fan.
00:38:18Thank you very much.
00:38:19Your tone is incredible. You have these little yodel effects in your voice.
00:38:24That's the Indiana.
00:38:25I get that a lot. It is. It's Indiana.
00:38:27It was how you said dream, your little run you did on dream. I was like, is this a country
00:38:31queen behind me? I was like, I had no idea what I was going to turn around to.
00:38:34Do you perform already?
00:38:36I do perform already a bit. I do gigs with my dad. My dad's my guitar player.
00:38:41Oh, cool.
00:38:42This is where I perform some of my gigs.
00:38:45Currently, I perform at restaurants, bars.
00:38:49Peanut butter.
00:38:50Yay!
00:38:51My dad, he's my guitar player. We do gigs together all the time. He likes to call himself Dadager. And
00:38:58I'm like, no.
00:39:01My parents believing in me is definitely the reason I'm here today. As a little girl, I was super out
00:39:08there, out of the box, super loud, crazy, just like my dad and my mom.
00:39:13Once I got to middle school, I was bullied and had a really hard time with people telling me things
00:39:24that I need to change about myself, like my weight and my style and who I am as a person.
00:39:31And I was always by myself, listening to music. My parents really stepped in and helped me through it and
00:39:39let me know that they're always here for me, no matter what and no matter who else is.
00:39:43It's not about being the shooting star. It's about being the shining star, getting out there and showing the world
00:39:54who you are.
00:39:56Do you like writing as well?
00:39:57Yes, I love writing. It's my favorite part of it all.
00:39:59Is that like therapeutic for you?
00:40:01Oh yeah, absolutely.
00:40:02For me too.
00:40:03Yes.
00:40:03I'm a big fan. I have navigated a competition at your exact age. I've also won this if you want
00:40:08to take a look up there more than these boys.
00:40:15They're incredible, but I just mean, I know how to win a show. I have no one on my team
00:40:20in your lane at all.
00:40:22And I do have a team filling up, so I haven't been pressing my button right now because I'm a
00:40:26little worried about filling it up.
00:40:28But you were just so special. I really think you would make an incredible member on my team.
00:40:32Thank you. Thank you very much.
00:40:34Hi, McKenley.
00:40:35Hi, Dawn.
00:40:37How are you?
00:40:37Don't say it like that, McKenley.
00:40:39Why'd you say it like that?
00:40:40Stay out of our conversation.
00:40:42Oh man.
00:40:43I'm having a one on one with my new friend McKenley.
00:40:45That was so cool.
00:40:47I was the first one to turn for you. You might have noticed that.
00:40:50That's my favorite Katy Perry song. I love that. Let's go all the way tonight.
00:40:56I feel like-
00:40:56When she says, let's go all the way tonight, that's your favorite part?
00:40:58No.
00:40:58It's just like, it's the melody, it's the music in that moment.
00:41:05Dude, you teed me up.
00:41:07It always grabs me in a really nice way.
00:41:10That's my favorite part too, John.
00:41:12Yeah.
00:41:12What I'm saying is, I think you're cool.
00:41:15I think you're cool too.
00:41:17I would love to work with you.
00:41:18I think I'd be a great coach for you and we'd have a lot of fun together.
00:41:23I think it's time to ask you the question.
00:41:25I want to just keep talking though, so you remember me last.
00:41:29I grew up right next door to you too, in Ohio.
00:41:32I'm from L.A. We're here in L.A. right now.
00:41:35I've been to Indiana, so-
00:41:37I got the same shoes.
00:41:38Oh, I'm sure you do. I'm sure you do.
00:41:40My team has no one like you.
00:41:42We're all champions here, but I feel like-
00:41:45I want to fight for you, McKinley.
00:41:47I really believe you can go far.
00:41:49So let's do it.
00:41:50Let's not, let's not.
00:41:53Let's do not that.
00:41:55All right.
00:41:56That was good, John.
00:41:57You got the last word.
00:41:58I tried.
00:41:59I know, good job.
00:42:00My kids are here too, by the way.
00:42:01Oh no!
00:42:04Hey, I got kids.
00:42:05Oh man, our kids are watching too.
00:42:08All right, that sounded desperate.
00:42:09Okay, it's time.
00:42:10Let me shut up now.
00:42:10It's time, McKinley.
00:42:11Who do you pick as your coach?
00:42:18Oh, I'm kidding.
00:42:20Let's go!
00:42:21Let's go!
00:42:21Let's go!

00:46:31and he was my best friend in March of 2015 when my brother was nine he got
00:46:39diagnosed with glioblastoma brain cancer he went through chemo radiation it was
00:46:47very surreal seeing that your big brother always be strong

00:47:13even though it's been 10 years those types of things stay with you forever Liam and Grace's

00:51:24I'm great
00:51:24Nice to meet you, what a pleasure
00:51:26My team is shaping up beautifully
00:51:29This is so cool
00:51:31I really can't believe that I'm here auditioning
00:51:36It's really a dream come true
00:51:39Even though I've been doing music for a long time
00:51:42This is just different than anything I've ever done
00:51:46I work part-time at a sauna studio
00:51:50I love folding the towels
00:51:52I love being able to use the sauna
00:51:54But I do hope to work full-time in music soon
00:51:59You gave me the kiss of life
00:52:03Kiss of life
00:52:09You gave me the kiss of life
00:52:14Oohvention彤
00:52:15Wennens you
00:52:19gave me
00:52:20the kiss of life
00:52:23Your tone is so beautiful, you approached the song with a lot of style and I really enjoyed
00:52:30your performance and I get you all to myself.
00:52:33So welcome to Team Legend.
00:52:36Thank you so much.
00:52:37All right.
00:52:38I feel like the other coaches are going to regret not turning for Natasha and we'll take
00:52:42advantage of her not-so-secret weapon which is that beautiful, smooth, buttery tone and
00:52:47we'll just live in that.
00:52:48We got a jersey for you, Team Legend, welcome.
00:52:53I am feeling so excited right now.
00:52:56I wanted to be on Team Legend all along.
00:52:59Can I borrow it?
00:53:00I don't know.
00:53:02I'm up for a battle in the Battle of Champions and I'm ready.
00:53:05Team Legend.
00:53:07Yay.
00:53:08Woo-hoo.
00:53:09I love your cheering section over there, they're like, legend, legend.
00:53:12I have one final spot on my team.
00:53:15I'm looking for a powerhouse, especially a female powerhouse because I want somebody
00:53:19who can soulfully sing it down.
00:53:22I swear to God, I had that same outfit in 1999.
00:53:24It's all back again.
00:53:25Everything's back.
00:53:25Everything comes back.
00:53:26The jeans, the player jeans.
00:53:27It's crazy.
00:53:28I have two more spots.
00:53:29No, it's just me and John duking it out.
00:53:33I cannot believe we're here right now.
00:53:35There are a few stages bigger than this and I've been around some big musical acts because
00:53:40my dad is a member of Take Six, which is a 10-time Grammy award-winning acapella group.
00:53:47As a kid, you know, I was backstage of Stevie Wonder.
00:53:50There was Britney Spears at the soundstage.
00:53:51That was the bar from the beginning of time for me.
00:53:55So to turn a chair would make my dad extremely proud and I'm ready to take the next step.
00:54:00Coming up, with teams starting to fill up, the artists bring their A-game.
00:54:18Is the voice over?
00:54:20I don't understand what just happened.
00:54:23Kelly's hurting right now.
00:54:24You literally broke her.
00:54:25Oh, my God.
00:54:35Welcome back to The Voice.
00:54:41How are you feeling?
00:54:43Feeling good.
00:54:44I can't believe this is real right now.
00:54:46This morning, I was getting ready, but thank God Wardrobe had my stuff because I forget
00:54:49everything.
00:54:50Mom brain.
00:54:51My name is Drew Russell.
00:54:53I'm 32 years old and I'm a full-time mom.
00:54:56My son Guy, not to brag, is the cutest child ever born.
00:55:00He's a very strong-willed comedian.
00:55:05What are you trying to do?
00:55:06We call him sir.
00:55:07He's the client in our household.
00:55:08So, I mean, he's hilarious.
00:55:10It's been truly the greatest joy of my life is spending time with him.
00:55:13Becoming a parent has changed everything.
00:55:16It kind of rocks you back into your purpose.
00:55:18Drew is an incredible mother.
00:55:20She's the sort of glue that holds the whole family together.
00:55:23Wow.
00:55:24Wow.
00:55:26It's real.
00:55:26Here they are.
00:55:27Music has always been part of my life.
00:55:30When I went to college, I did a couple gigs here and there, but kind of put things on pause
00:55:34for a little while.
00:55:35Went the corporate route.
00:55:36It was my way of, like, ensuring my safety net.
00:55:40Build the step and then jump off.
00:55:42The question is, are you ready to take your place on the wall?
00:55:45I think I'm ready.
00:55:46To be able to perform on The Voice, you know, on national television, is really major for
00:55:52me.
00:55:52I don't want to look 10, 20 years down the road and my child see me come home from work
00:55:58just
00:55:58burnt out and unhappy in what I'm doing.
00:56:00You know, I want to be an example to him.
00:56:02The stakes are even higher on a personal level.
00:56:04Due to having a parent that was a busy working musician, as a member of Take Six, this is
00:56:11putting me into a space where I can really put myself out there in a serious way and see
00:56:14how far I can take this.
00:56:16I'm really excited for the challenge.
00:56:22I feel so bad, I've got a worried mind.
00:56:28I'm so lonesome all the time.
00:56:32Since I left my baby behind on Blue Bayou.
00:56:41I'm going back someday.
00:56:45I'm going back someday.
00:56:47I'm one day too blue bayou.
00:56:52Where the folks are fine and the world is mine.
00:57:06If I could only see that familiar sunrise through sleepy eyes, how happy I'd be.
00:57:21Ooh, if I might, by my side, the silver moon and the evening tide.
00:57:33Where I'll never be blue, my dreams come true.
00:57:40I'm blue by you.
00:58:00Hello.
00:58:01Hi.
00:58:02What is your name?
00:58:03My name is Drew Russell.
00:58:05I'm 32 years old and I'm from Los Angeles.
00:58:06I'm so happy, Drew, that I've found my way to you and I don't have to deal with them.
00:58:13Honestly, because I really think you're special.
00:58:15You struggled with it a little bit, right?
00:58:17In the beginning?
00:58:18For sure, yeah.
00:58:18I'm always trying to find it.
00:58:19Yeah, I heard you trying to find it.
00:58:21I don't care about that.
00:58:22To me, that happens to everybody.
00:58:25But the good news is that you really salvaged the performance and I think that what's awesome,
00:58:29and I'm so happy that I turned around, is this will get a lot better for you.
00:58:32And I think you're a lot better than your blind audition suggested.
00:58:34And you picked like one of the biggest songs, like the biggest range ever.
00:58:39That's a huge song.
00:58:40Yeah, that's a super ambitious song.
00:58:42I love it on staff.
00:58:43Exactly.
00:58:43That's a really ambitious song.
00:58:45I think you're going to fare well in the competition because of that.
00:58:47To have that kind of fearlessness to go, man, I want to go big or go home, you know what
00:58:50I'm saying?
00:58:51And also, your outfit is so cute.
00:58:56I turned around and I was like, how do I get one?
00:59:00Adam's right.
00:59:01You really turned it around and your voice is so beautiful.
00:59:06And it has such clarity and it really feels good and sounds good.
00:59:11Your taste in music works really well for this season because we don't really have other artists that are in
00:59:16that lane.
00:59:17It's only going to get so much better from here with you.
00:59:19So, welcome to my team.
00:59:23Welcome to the show.
00:59:24Welcome to the show.
00:59:26I think Drew might really surprise everybody in this competition.
00:59:29I have nobody like Drew on my team.
00:59:30She's an awesome singer.
00:59:31Welcome.
00:59:32My team is almost full.
00:59:33Now, I just want to be inspired and moved in the moment.
00:59:36That's all I care about.
00:59:37Team Adam!
00:59:39Is that mine?
00:59:40No, this is mine.
00:59:41I'll keep it in.
00:59:45One more spot.
00:59:47Oh, really?
00:59:48One more spot.
00:59:50I have one more spot.
00:59:51The pressure's on.
00:59:52I want somebody that when I hear that voice, I'm like, there's no way I can't turn.
00:59:57One more spot.
00:59:59We're going to celebrate it.
01:00:01The clock is ticking down on the blind auditions.
01:00:04Now, there's just one last matter of business.
01:00:06Who will John and Adam find to finalize their rosters?
01:00:09I mean, who would you pick as a coach?
01:00:11That's a good question.
01:00:12I mean, Adam had the lead.
01:00:13John kind of showed some fighting, fought back in.
01:00:16I'm definitely looking forward to it.
01:00:18You know, we're so proud of you.
01:00:20And everybody in New Jersey is going to be watching.
01:00:21Jersey, Jersey, Jersey, Jersey.
01:00:24My name is Syd Milavoy.
01:00:26I am 23 years old.
01:00:27And I am from Secaucus, New Jersey.
01:00:29Okay, quiet on set.
01:00:30Quiet on set.
01:00:31Everybody quiet.
01:00:32Turn it down.
01:00:33That's who I am.
01:00:34That's who I am.
01:00:35My house is like organized chaos.
01:00:39Big Italian family.
01:00:40Four bedroom kind of house, but we made it work for seven people.
01:00:44I call it, you know, like a clown car.
01:00:46Like the clown house.
01:00:47This is my room.
01:00:48I'm in the garage.
01:00:50As you can see.
01:00:52There's always noise happening.
01:00:55The TV is blaring.
01:00:57Who's yelling from the kitchen?
01:00:59And usually when it's quiet, you get a little nervous.
01:01:03Like, why is it quiet?
01:01:05When I was about 10, my parents split.
01:01:08And then me, my mom, and my brothers had to move in with my grandparents and my uncle.
01:01:14And we never left.
01:01:16So.
01:01:18My mom is an opera singer.
01:01:21Very, very talented.
01:01:22When you first opened your mouth, I knew it.
01:01:24I said, this girl's gonna go somewhere with that voice.
01:01:27That's where I got it from.
01:01:28Well.
01:01:29Right now, I sing in a wedding band.
01:01:31And it's so crazy to be on season 29 of The Voice.
01:01:35I've been watching the show forever.
01:01:37And to be here, it makes me really emotional just because when I was little, I never thought
01:01:43that it could be attainable.
01:01:44I would watch everybody on this show and I would want to be them.
01:01:48I didn't know that one day I would be them.
01:01:51I thought I would forever just live in my dreams.
01:01:54But dreams do come true.
01:01:56To be here living it and singing Mama Knows Best by Jessie J.
01:02:01Especially having my mom here.
01:02:03Yeah, it means the world.
01:02:05So.
01:02:07I am so nervous.
01:02:08Teams are filling up quick.
01:02:11I'm trying not to think about it.
01:02:13If I get a chair turn from one of them, it would just be the greatest thing in the world.
01:02:26you hit her.
01:02:31Welcome back to the final night of the blind auditions.
01:02:41Oh, there is something going down
01:02:46Like the storm in the sky
01:02:49How are you gonna be played by your behavior?
01:02:56How can I trust someone who's lying to me?
01:03:00So come, go, now I step back and leave
01:03:04I said, take your stuff and go
01:03:07Cause you're not my ego
01:03:09I'm in a bus when I'm in a club
01:03:14And Papa always has a choice to make me laugh
01:03:19See, I'm in a bus when I feel down
01:03:23So bring me up and always keep my feet on the ground
01:03:31Just be the best of mine that I need to be
01:03:36Always use humor as your therapy
01:03:40Don't ever take life so seriously
01:03:44Just do you, cause you do you so perfectly
01:03:50Oh, yeah
01:03:51Oh, yeah
01:03:59She's mama, mama, no face
01:04:02She's daddy, daddy, no face
01:04:04She's mama, mama, mama, mama, mama, mama, mama, yeah
01:04:31I'm so wide awake right now. I'm so wide awake. Did you just win the voice?
01:04:39Penel, is the voice over?
01:04:43My team is full
01:04:45And like, I don't understand what just happened
01:04:49How old are you?
01:04:51I'm 23 years old
01:04:52I'm so angry
01:04:53What is your name?
01:04:56My name is Sid Miliboy
01:04:57And I'm from Secaucus, New Jersey
01:04:59I need a glass of wine brought out right now
01:05:06I'm like the opposite of angry, super stoked
01:05:10That's like the quintessential meaning of this show is what you just did
01:05:14And I cannot do that
01:05:16So I can appreciate when someone can
01:05:19Your vocal pierced through this audience and shook us all to our core
01:05:23There's that sense of soul and urgency and passion
01:05:26Your type of performing is a lost art form that I feel like needs to be thrust back into the
01:05:31spotlight
01:05:32I am a fan. I am blown away by what you do and I got to coach you
01:05:36Thank you. Thank you so much
01:05:38I'm in awe right now
01:05:40And I literally have one spot left on my team
01:05:42And I'm like, you were sent from heaven, Sid, to
01:05:47Kill that final spot and you can win this competition
01:05:56Kelly's hurting right now
01:05:57You literally broke her
01:05:58I am so sad
01:06:00Look, you might not even like me, but I just would have wanted a chance
01:06:02You know what I'm saying?
01:06:03I love you
01:06:04Are you kidding?
01:06:05Oh yeah, I think you would have had a major chance
01:06:07Part of what I like to do is find out about you
01:06:10What have you been up to musically and like what do you see for your career?
01:06:15I'm a songwriter, I write all my own stuff
01:06:18But by night, I'm a wedding singer
01:06:20I sing at everybody's weddings
01:06:22So you cover the gamuts
01:06:24Yeah
01:06:25You may want to do a song that's more in the singer songwriter vein
01:06:29Since you're a singer songwriter
01:06:30To present yourself to the world and say this is the kind of artist I am
01:06:34Yeah
01:06:35You mentioned like where you sing
01:06:37What's your vibe?
01:06:38So I'm just curious like where you pull from
01:06:40As a kid, my mom
01:06:41She always had Mariah Carey on in the house
01:06:43She always had Whitney Houston on in the house
01:06:45Oh my god
01:06:46Alicia Keys
01:06:47Sure
01:06:47So that's just why I listen to you
01:06:49You like Ariana?
01:06:49I love Ariana Grande
01:06:52She's like check out my ponytail
01:06:54I love her down
01:06:55I heard some of her in you also
01:06:57Oh my god
01:06:58We clearly are very, very, very, very into the idea of coaching you
01:07:04Oh obsessed, obsessed with the idea
01:07:06So let's let Kelly ask the question
01:07:08Syd, who do you pick as your coach?
01:07:12Ah, come on, come on
01:07:16Come on
01:07:17Come on
01:07:19Come on Syd
01:07:21Please
01:07:24I'm gonna have to go with Team John
01:07:26She said it
01:07:30I knew it
01:07:34Ah, I'm so happy
01:07:36Oh my god
01:07:37You really are that good
01:07:39Like we don't say that to everybody
01:07:40Like you are that good
01:07:42That's it, it's Team Cole
01:07:43Kelly is truly broken up that she can't pick you
01:07:47Wow
01:07:47How is Syd not available for Kelly?
01:07:52Kelly's in so much pain right now
01:07:55But Kelly's loss is our gain
01:07:57You are crazy
01:07:58Thank you
01:07:59She came out here and just knocked our socks off
01:08:02It was incredible
01:08:03This is my mom
01:08:04I never cared so much
01:08:06I feel like the boys owed me this karmic favor
01:08:10Syd is completing Team Legend
01:08:13Thank you, Syd, I can't wait
01:08:14I picked John because the things that he was saying just really stuck with me
01:08:18He was talking about my songwriting and how I could present as an artist
01:08:23And I think that's really cool
01:08:24Woo!
01:08:26Congratulations
01:08:28My team is full
01:08:34I got a song I want to sing
01:08:38We got to bring it back
01:08:40Oh, I had to fight for you
01:08:47I put it all on the line for you
01:08:50Welcome to Team Legend
01:08:53Welcome to Team Legend
01:08:56We've got quite a range on Team Legend this season
01:08:59I've got two country artists
01:09:01I've got R&B artists
01:09:03I've got soulful pop
01:09:05We've got such a nice diversity of interest among Team Legend
01:09:09And I am ready to take the battle of champions
01:09:13Welcome to Team Legend
01:09:17Champion of Strong Legend
01:09:22Yeah, yeah, yeah
01:09:29My team is full
01:09:32Jon filled his team and now it's just me, woo old me
01:09:35Tell me she was always going to pick Jon and I had no chance
01:09:37Just tell me that
01:09:39You know, the Lord works in mysterious ways
01:09:41I don't know what you guys are upset about
01:09:44Shut your face
01:09:46He's like, what's the big deal?
01:09:56Welcome back to The Voice Battle of Champions
01:10:01Oh my God
01:10:02I may have just got the winner of The Voice
01:10:04Sid was incredible
01:10:06She's literally the best singer we've heard
01:10:09I would be furious if I were you
01:10:10Kelly is upset y'all
01:10:12She may need to be talked off the ledge
01:10:14But I fought to the finish
01:10:16Sid
01:10:16Oh, you saved my season
01:10:19The Voice is over
01:10:19Yeah
01:10:20He just won
01:10:21And I don't feel bad anymore
01:10:23About the Super Steel
01:10:28My buddy gave me the nickname Disco Dan in third grade
01:10:31Let's move this night
01:10:32I've always been able to move pretty well
01:10:34And my first ever CD I owned was Earth, Wind and Fire
01:10:37So I'm assuming there's some kind of connection there
01:10:39My name is Daniel Sovich
01:10:41I grew up in Aurora, Ohio
01:10:42Now I'm down in Nashville, Tennessee
01:10:45I started out with my schooling at NYU
01:10:47Freshman year was a musical theater major
01:10:49And I was really fortunate
01:10:51I got set up with some awesome auditions
01:10:53By the end of college
01:10:54I had booked my first professional pro gig
01:10:57The musical Almost Famous as the lead
01:10:59That was my dream as a kid
01:11:01To be in a Broadway musical
01:11:02It really started feeling like
01:11:04We're launching into this
01:11:06Things are gonna start moving from here
01:11:07And then we were all set to open in spring of 2020
01:11:11And then that's when COVID hit
01:11:13Everything shut down and suddenly
01:11:15I cannot live in the city
01:11:18So I went back to Nashville
01:11:19And I've been there for almost five years now
01:11:21I'm not gonna sit here and say like
01:11:23I've never gone into one of those spirals
01:11:24Being like why am I doing this?
01:11:26Why am I still here doing this?
01:11:27But then one of those times
01:11:29You pick yourself back up
01:11:31The right person walks into the bar you're singing at
01:11:33And is like dude you should come audition for The Voice
01:11:36Oh my gosh
01:11:39Very surreal
01:11:40Oh my god I can't believe we're here
01:11:44These three coaches are champions
01:11:46It would be amazing to work with any of them
01:11:48I will be pumped if one chair spins around
01:11:51I will be over the moon
01:11:52The teams are filling up
01:11:54So the stakes are high
01:11:55But I have been paying my dues
01:11:57And I hope this is my chance to say
01:12:00I did it
01:12:13I love this song so much
01:12:15I love this song so much
01:12:29I'll take you just the way you are
01:12:35I need to know that you will always be
01:12:41The same old someone that I knew
01:12:47Oh what will it take till you believe in me
01:12:55The way that I believe in the way that I believe in you
01:12:59Oh I said I love you
01:13:05And that's forever
01:13:09This I promise from the heart
01:13:12Oh
01:13:15I couldn't love you
01:13:19Any better
01:13:22I love you just
01:13:30The way
01:13:32You are
01:13:41You are
01:13:52Oh what's your name?
01:13:53I'm Daniel Sovich, I'm 28 from Nashville
01:13:55Oh man
01:13:58Daniel I know this is not what you wanted
01:14:00This sucks when this happens
01:14:01It felt more Broadway than like anything else for me
01:14:05But you have a great voice
01:14:07I don't know about y'all
01:14:08But it felt a little more that for me
01:14:09It did feel theatrical at times
01:14:11And I don't think that's a bad thing
01:14:12But the vocal has a certain understatedness to it
01:14:15That when you lose that sometimes
01:14:16It can make it a different thing
01:14:17And so it kind of got me outside of it
01:14:19But I wanted to turn a bunch of times
01:14:21Your range is awesome
01:14:22Appreciate that yeah
01:14:23Yeah
01:14:23One of the things Michael would always say
01:14:25He talks about not overusing the vibrato
01:14:27Even when you're doing those songs that kind of
01:14:30Call for it
01:14:31Make you think that you should do vibrato
01:14:33Your performance was flawless when it came to pitch
01:14:36You have a powerful instrument
01:14:37So it's just about making the right artistic choices
01:14:40To be more effective as a performer
01:14:43And so I think that's something you could correct
01:14:45And come back and sing another song
01:14:46Yes sir
01:14:47Appreciate you brother thank you
01:14:48Come back and do it again for sure
01:14:49Please come back
01:14:50Thank you
01:14:52I just love that song so much
01:14:54My team is almost full
01:14:55The point of the competition is to reward the people that have these special gifts
01:14:59And just waiting for my special person to round out team Adam
01:15:02It doesn't feel heartfelt
01:15:03You've got to be more conversational
01:15:05Exactly
01:15:05That's how you pull it off
01:15:06Yeah
01:15:07You're gonna go with Adam?
01:15:09I like Adam
01:15:10He could do a new tattoo
01:15:12Oh a new tattoo
01:15:13And since we're a navy family
01:15:15Bankers would be
01:15:17Oh that's pretty good
01:15:18You know what I'm saying?
01:15:19I'm Jared Shoemaker
01:15:20I'm 32 years old
01:15:22And I'm from Richmond, Kentucky
01:15:23In 2012 I decided to join the navy
01:15:26I was on the USS George H.W. Bush
01:15:28Our main goal was to carry all kinds of helicopters and cargo planes
01:15:34And of course fighter jets
01:15:36And when you get to the ship
01:15:38The least ranking person usually has toilet duty
01:15:40I had to make sure throughout the day that the toilets were clean
01:15:44Which was crazy
01:15:46Then I finally got an opportunity to work on all kinds of machinery
01:15:50We'd rebuild pumps, boilers, air compressors
01:15:53It definitely was a very tough job
01:15:55We worked a lot of hours
01:15:56When you're working that much it'll suck the soul out of you
01:16:00And I read on a magazine
01:16:02Sing and release endorphins in your brain
01:16:04And it makes you happy
01:16:05I had a whole room to myself at the belly of the boat
01:16:08And I just started singing
01:16:10I could sing as loud as I want
01:16:11Everybody would bring their guitars down there
01:16:13And we'd have big jam sessions
01:16:14It literally brought my spirits up
01:16:17I went nine months singing every day
01:16:19And I realized that I think I had a voice
01:16:21When he got out of the military
01:16:24We would go to some of his little gigs
01:16:27And we're like oh my gosh
01:16:30Our boy can sing
01:16:33When I got out of the navy
01:16:34I just started gigging
01:16:36And my band's called Marshall
01:16:37We've been gigging for 10-20 people
01:16:40And then we've moved on to playing massive clubs
01:16:43We got to open up for Diamond Rio
01:16:45One of my favorite 90s country bands
01:16:51So we're playing music full-time now
01:16:53Traveling the country
01:16:54One of our favorite venues is a horse festival
01:16:57We ride horses all day
01:16:58And then we play music
01:17:00I kind of worked away my younger years
01:17:02Doing nothing but demanding jobs
01:17:04So it's kind of fun to be around
01:17:06The things I missed out on
01:17:08While I was in the navy
01:17:10It's the final night of the blind auditions
01:17:12Teams are filling up
01:17:13There's never been a season with fewer spots available
01:17:16Gets you a little nervous
01:17:17But I've been in plenty of different situations
01:17:20Where the stress is high
01:17:21So I'm ready to get on that stage
01:17:32Welcome back to The Voice Battle of Champions
01:17:36Last one
01:17:38Oh my god y'all we're done almost

01:18:10Your dad says he's okay
01:18:16Well I've never been better
01:18:19Things are going my way
01:18:24I sleep like a baby
01:18:29I never show a play for her
01:18:33I don't drink whiskey
01:18:38I don't know how it feels to her
01:18:42Oh and I ain't been lonely

01:19:35I'm 32 from Richmond Kentucky
01:19:37I'm so happy right now
01:19:38Because their teams are full
01:19:40We couldn't turn
01:19:41They couldn't turn
01:19:42That is perfectly fine
01:19:43Yeah
01:19:44The subtle simplicity of your voice
01:19:46Is so refreshing
01:19:48And the emotion and the little breaks of your voice
01:19:50That I love so much
01:19:51I mean you just have one of those great voices
01:19:53And man I just don't have anybody like you on my team
01:19:56It's going to be really fun
01:19:57I'm going to do you right
01:19:58That's a really good song
01:19:59I'm a fan it was really really good
01:20:01I love the song selection
01:20:02I got to ask you though
01:20:04Who'd you grow up listening to
01:20:06You've been playing a lot
01:20:06I mean I've been yeah
01:20:07I gig about three days a week
01:20:09I've been playing for like five years
01:20:11I play anything from you know Frank Sinatra to
01:20:14Yeah
01:20:15Ozzy
01:20:15Yeah
01:20:16Oh yeah
01:20:17Ozzy
01:20:18I play I play everything
01:20:19You're going to do so well man
01:20:21I love the vibe
01:20:21Congratulations
01:20:23It's fun because this season
01:20:25We all have country artists on our teams
01:20:27So I think it's going to be fun
01:20:29To kind of break up that country monopoly
01:20:31That our country coaches would often have on the show
01:20:35Some people can hit the notes
01:20:37But they don't have like a style
01:20:39And I really felt like you had that
01:20:42And I would have totally pushed if I had a spot on my team
01:20:45Because I just felt like you really can sing man
01:20:48Adam's very lucky that he got you all to himself
01:20:50And listen imagine like I'm like Blake Shelton but better
01:20:56The bar was low Jared
