00:00:07It's the battles of the battle of the champions.
00:00:11Yes.
00:00:11Battle time.
00:00:12Let's go battle.
00:00:13Let's go.
00:00:13Y'all are on today.
00:00:15I love it.
00:00:19I was waiting for the beat to drop.
00:00:21Let the beat drop.
00:00:22I think these battles are more competitive than ever because it's just a very powerful
00:00:26artistic season.
00:00:27Give it up for our coaches.
00:00:28But we also want to win.
00:00:30Hey, boys fans.
00:00:32Benji Madden.
00:00:33My surprise little mentor situation.
00:00:35Adam is oftentimes my advisor.
00:00:38What is he talking about?
00:00:38There they are.
00:00:39We carpooled here.
00:00:40I know it's cute.
00:00:41Make sure you make a pee pee before we leave Benji.
00:00:44Oh, nice.
00:00:45It's battle time and that means it's time for me to bring in the big guns.
00:00:49Money long.
00:00:50Money long is here, y'all.
00:00:52Y'all always wonder what people are looking for when they say that it factor.
00:00:56What is it?
00:00:57You know, you feel it when certain people just have it.
00:00:59It's like that thing.
00:01:02Man, how you boys, family.
00:01:04It is me, Jay Hudge.
00:01:06Kelly.
00:01:06I got your back.
00:01:07I've been a coach, a mega mentor.
00:01:10You got the double trouble now.
00:01:12Y'all better look out.
00:01:13Y'all know I brought a shoe just in case.
00:01:16The last shoe I threw, the person who I threw the shoe at, guess what?
00:01:20Day one.
00:01:21Will it take a lot for you to throw a shoe today?
00:01:23I can't tell you.
00:01:24It hits my spirit and I don't even know I threw it.
00:01:26There you go.
00:01:32Our friendship is kind of like me and Blake Sheldon if I liked Blake Sheldon.
00:01:36Does your wife ever like, cause sometimes when we're texting.
00:01:40No, she'll be like, who are you talking to?
00:01:42Sometimes when we're texting.
00:01:42Why are you giggling?
00:01:43I'm like, I'm just talking to Benji.
00:01:45So I put these people together, Drew and Jared, and they're both so good.
00:01:49Like, what have I done?
00:01:50You got to let them fight it out.
00:01:52Drew has a cool tone.
00:01:54He's got a great sound.
00:01:55Just a cool vibe in general.
00:01:57Jared, I mean, I can tell their soul and there's a story.
00:02:00I think that there's a country element that connects them.
00:02:05It's really awesome Benji Maddens here.
00:02:07I mean, I grew up on his music.
00:02:09Good Charlotte, that's where I listened to in high school.
00:02:11All the alternative rock.
00:02:13Nice meeting you.
00:02:13Jared, Benji.
00:02:15Good to meet you there.
00:02:16So to get his guidance and to meet him is awesome.
00:02:20We're excited about this pairing.
00:02:21I feel like you did a great job.
00:02:23Well, I'm going to cry though, because you guys are both going to be so good.
00:02:26You guys look cool as hell.
00:02:28You really do.
00:02:29We're just feeling some rock energy today.
00:02:30You guys look pretty badass together.
00:02:31It's already, you looked the part.
00:02:32We look good.
00:02:33We're ready.
00:02:33So this song, um, makes me cry.
00:02:38I've heard you sing it by the way.
00:02:39You have?
00:02:40I've heard it.
00:02:40A couple of times.
00:02:41Have you ever heard him sing it on a voicemail though?
00:02:42Because I have.
00:02:43I sing it to Benji on a voicemail.
00:02:45I gave Drew and Jared leather and lace by Stevie Nicks and Don Henley.
00:02:49It's folky.
00:02:50It's country.
00:02:50It's rock and roll.
00:02:51It's a lot of things you love, you know?
00:02:53Of all the songs in the world, this might be a song that I have the most experience with.
00:02:57I sang the song with Stevie Nicks to my wife at our wedding.
00:03:02If you don't like this song, then I don't like you.
00:03:05I know it means a lot to him.
00:03:07So there's always that little, uh, nervousness, I guess, to perform a song that means a lot to my coach.
00:03:14But this is the kind of music that I love as an artist.
00:03:17So I'm just really happy we got it.
00:03:19Let's do it.
00:03:19Alright.
00:03:21Lovers forever, face to face.
00:03:26The song is kind of what helped me put them together.
00:03:29Country, rock and roll, I feel like they both are cut from that same cloth.
00:03:33I need you to love me.
00:03:35I need you today.
00:03:39Drew has kind of a cool lane because I don't hate anybody that sounds like her.
00:03:43She can really bring something special to the song that you don't hear every day.
00:03:47I need you to love me.
00:03:50Jared's got such a cool sort of like country, sort of rocky voice.
00:03:55And he has range that I didn't know he had, you know?
00:03:58Because he didn't sing that high in a blind audition.
00:04:00Take from me.
00:04:01It's good to push yourself.
00:04:03And I think he sounds really cool in his upper register, too.
00:04:07That was beautiful, guys.
00:04:09Couple stars.
00:04:10You guys both have your own swagger.
00:04:12I'm such a fan of you guys.
00:04:13I think that for me, you never want to be copying, right?
00:04:16But at the same time, you have to be reverent to the record, too,
00:04:20because it's such a special record that like holds a place in so many people's hearts.
00:04:23The power of the song is in the simplicity.
00:04:25So all of that emotion and power is there without trying to do too much.
00:04:29This is a big choice.
00:04:31It's exciting, but it's also maybe a little bit nerve-wracking.
00:04:34You want to keep the respect on it, yeah.
00:04:35Yeah, because it's such a classic and such an all-time great song.
00:04:39I feel like it's going to stand out if you can tap into where that song in your soul sits
00:04:44and what it means to you.
00:04:45To win this battle, I need to completely let go and relate to that feeling of that vulnerability
00:04:52and that rawness that comes with falling in love with someone.
00:04:56My husband and I got married in 2022, and we are very opposite in a lot of ways.
00:05:01Leather and lace, I don't know.
00:05:03Sometimes I'm leather, sometimes I'm lace.
00:05:04Ben, as a father, is amazing.
00:05:06He is crazy supportive of me, especially my musicianship.
00:05:10I can take the space and the time that I need to pursue what's important to me.
00:05:13And as a mom and a wife or just a partner in general,
00:05:16that's not something that a lot of people get, and I'm really grateful for that.
00:05:19This is obviously an epic love song, and I love Jared, but we're not in love.
00:05:24So where do you go to really sell that story?
00:05:28I don't see it like you're playing a part because then it can be fake.
00:05:31It's the love of music.
00:05:32Like I said, I've sung this song with all the people.
00:05:34And our love of the song is kind of the romantic part of it, right?
00:05:39It's not targeted at each other.
00:05:41Like if Benji and I were singing it, it would definitely be a love song.
00:05:44We would be, yeah.
00:05:44I was going to say, wait, hold up, Adam.
00:05:46I was going to say, when we sing it together, you both do make each other feel even more special,
00:05:52you know, singing together because your voices are so different.
00:05:56It's also not bad if it scares you a little bit.
00:05:58Those nerves can be really good.
00:05:59It's just raw.
00:06:01It's real.
00:06:0190% of this game is comfort.
00:06:03You know, if you can feel good about yourself and then helps you propel what you're trying to sing.
00:06:08I need you to love me.
00:06:11And Benji's good at helping me unlock that in some of these singers.
00:06:16That was infinitely better.
00:06:18It just immediately jumped the level.
00:06:19You guys are already starting to feel that chemistry.
00:06:22Just get lost in the lyrics.
00:06:24The more kind of intimate it can feel, the better people will react to it.
00:06:27Yeah.
00:06:28I got to really focus on pouring more of that soul and that feeling into the song.
00:06:33For me, this song is about a complicated relationship that's had its ups and downs.
00:06:38My girlfriend's name is Chapin.
00:06:39Most of the challenges in our relationship center around my life as a musician.
00:06:44Every weekend I'm in a different town.
00:06:47So being gone a lot, it's very difficult, but she's here to back me all the way.
00:06:52She's the one that pushed me to sign up.
00:06:54So if it wasn't for her, I would not be here.
00:06:56You know, we just gave you the note.
00:06:58And while you're singing it, you're thinking, all right, how am I applying that?
00:07:01But the more you do it, you're going to get locked in.
00:07:03Just keep running this repetition.
00:07:05Ten more times and we'll be ready.
00:07:06You know what I'm saying?
00:07:07We're very excited.
00:07:08Thank you guys so much.
00:07:10The stakes are high for this battle.
00:07:12We're performing on this massive stage for millions of people watching at home.
00:07:22This song, it requires a very clear vulnerability that takes time to build.
00:07:32My dad, David Thomas, is in the jazz acapella group Take Six.
00:07:37I always want to make my dad proud whenever I'm doing anything musical.
00:07:40He knows I've been working hard at this.
00:07:42And for him to hear that all come together on stage for the battles is going to be really cool.
00:07:49I definitely don't think the coaches have seen what I can do yet.
00:07:52We're just going to go out there and we're going to crush it.
00:07:58They're like a good looking couple.
00:08:00Yeah.
00:08:02This battle begins right now.
00:08:16I feel like you guys are so all for a while.
00:08:28I feel like you guys.
00:08:36I feel like both sides are strong and will wear and very strong.
00:08:37There's something I can't see
00:08:41Still I carry this feeling
00:08:43When you walked into my house
00:08:47That I won't be walking out the door
00:08:53Lovers forever
00:08:56Face to face
00:08:59My city on mountains, stay with me
00:09:04Stay
00:09:06I need you to love me
00:09:08I need you today
00:09:12Get to me or ever
00:09:14Take from me
00:09:16My place
00:09:20You in the moonlight
00:09:22With your sleepy eyes
00:09:26Did you ever love a man like me?
00:09:29Woo
00:09:31And you were right
00:09:34When I walked into your house
00:09:38I knew I was never gonna leave
00:09:43But that time I saw you
00:09:47I knew with you to light my night
00:09:51Oh, somehow I get by
00:09:54Nice
00:09:56Lovers forever
00:10:00Face to face
00:10:02My city or mountain
00:10:06Stay with me, stay
00:10:08I need you to love me
00:10:11I need you today
00:10:13I love his voice
00:10:15Give me your leather
00:10:17Take from me
00:10:19My lace
00:10:21Take from me
00:10:24My lace
00:10:26Sing, boy
00:10:28Take from me
00:10:32My lace
00:10:35I love that was damn good
00:10:37So good
00:10:40Yeah
00:10:41Yeah
00:10:42That was so cool
00:10:44First of all, not to be superficial though, you guys would make a hot couple
00:10:47I don't know what your dating status is
00:10:49Honestly, after hearing you, I think you should be a duo
00:10:52You sound great together, you look good together
00:10:54Let's think about it
00:10:55Drew's married
00:10:56Drew's married
00:10:57Never mind, never mind
00:10:58You can still have a group though
00:11:00It was really beautiful
00:11:01Your harmony sounded so great
00:11:03That was such a great song choice, I thought, for both of you
00:11:05Drew, I really loved at the top of your range
00:11:08That little shred that was in your voice
00:11:11It sounded so cool
00:11:12Jared, I just decided that you're one of my favorite male vocalists this season
00:11:16Thank you
00:11:17I just love the tone of your voice, like the rasp in it
00:11:21You just sound like a star to me
00:11:23You're like the real deal
00:11:25It was the perfect song, so well done Adam for that
00:11:29Yeah
00:11:29It was the perfect song for both of you
00:11:32How John was talking about your ache that was breaking your voice, Drew
00:11:36But also the vibrato
00:11:37It was perfect
00:11:39And Jared, you open your mouth
00:11:41And it's like, I feel like I'm at your concert
00:11:43I actually think the both of you compliment each other
00:11:46And you actually make each other better
00:11:49That's why I said the group thing
00:11:51And it's unexpected, which makes it more exciting as a fan
00:11:54Thank you, coaches
00:11:56Adam, tough decision coming up
00:11:58Give us some thoughts first
00:11:59This song to me is just a heavyweight champion of songs in my life
00:12:03Like I sang this song with Stevie Nicks to my wife at our wedding
00:12:06You know what I mean?
00:12:07Like I did, that happened, it really happened
00:12:10I think it really happened, I pinch myself sometimes
00:12:12So it made it even harder I think for you guys
00:12:15Because I was gonna go and be uber critical of it
00:12:17And in the rehearsals, to be completely honest
00:12:20The promise was there and the vibe was there
00:12:23But it just wasn't where it needed to be yet
00:12:25And I was hoping that it would really come to fruition in time for this thing
00:12:29And it really did
00:12:29It was so beautiful
00:12:31Thank you guys for really doing it, doing it right
00:12:33Beautiful
00:12:35Drew, like there were moments where it was so Stevie-esque
00:12:38And she is obviously one of the greatest ever to do it
00:12:43And Jared, Don Henley's a beast
00:12:45It's really, really rangy for a male vocalist
00:12:47And you crushed it
00:12:49You guys really stepped up and you're both just incredible
00:12:52Great job, great job
00:12:53Thank you
00:12:55Adam, congrats on a great battle, but the time has come
00:12:57Who is the winner of this battle?
00:13:00You know, something happened to me when I listened to this one today
00:13:06It really hit me out of left field
00:13:08The winner of this battle
00:13:11Is Jared
00:13:13Jared moving on to the knockouts for Team Adam
00:13:15Congratulations
00:13:16I got a hero in mind for you
00:13:17Thank you
00:13:20Excellent job, brother
00:13:20Thank you, man
00:13:21Amazing, dude
00:13:22Jared can win this thing
00:13:23Like, there's something about him, like, he's special
00:13:25I can't wait to get into it with Jared
00:13:28I think we're gonna have a lot of taste in common
00:13:29Believe it or not
00:13:30And I think that's gonna be really, really fun
00:13:31Drew, anything you want to say to your coach?
00:13:34I am just so incredibly grateful for this opportunity
00:13:37And honestly, your taste, the song choice
00:13:39Jared as a partner was also incredible
00:13:41And I couldn't be more thankful, so thank you for everything
00:13:44You were awesome
00:13:44Give it up one more time for Drew Russell, everybody
00:13:48I wish I could have taken you both
00:13:49You guys were both so great
00:13:51Thank you
00:13:51It was really, really special
00:13:52Thank you
00:13:53That was so good, Drew
00:13:54It was beautiful
00:13:55Just think about it, Russell and Shoemaker
00:13:57I'm just saying
00:13:59I wish I not only had a steal, but I don't know if it's ever been done on this show
00:14:02I wish you could just be, like, pairing
00:14:06And you could, like, pair people together
00:14:08They really sounded great together
00:14:09They would brush it together in country
00:14:12I know, they would
00:14:13Man, Team Adam is stronger than I remember in the blinds
00:14:17I just was like, that was amazing
00:14:19They looked and sounded great together, though
00:14:20Yeah
00:14:20Yeah
00:14:21We have people that keep surprising us
00:14:22So that's fun
00:14:24Coming up
00:14:25Just go
00:14:26Wow
00:14:27Incredible performances
00:14:34Wow
00:14:35Difficult decisions
00:14:37You are so screwed
00:14:39Yeah, I know
00:14:40Adam, the time has come
00:14:42Just give me a second
00:14:43Let's go to commercial
00:14:44Yeah
00:14:44We'll be back
00:14:45I wish I could steal
00:14:47And the final steal of the battle
00:14:54Just have gifts of that
00:15:05Welcome back to The Voice Battle of Champions
00:15:11Hi, Carson
00:15:14Carson Daly
00:15:18Carson Daly
00:15:24Carson Daly
00:15:27All decisions are final
00:15:28Not excited
00:15:29Oh, no, you can't steal somebody now
00:15:31No
00:15:32It's just you
00:15:33Thanks for the pressure
00:15:36My people are going next
00:15:38It's Houston and Tia
00:15:39And they're both so good
00:15:40But they're both very different
00:15:41Really don't know which one I'm gonna pick
00:15:47It's The Voice Battle of Champions
00:15:48And it feels like a battle of champions right now
00:15:51Father Hilton
00:15:51Anxiety before I go out
00:15:53It's just starting to get to me a little
00:15:54Um, could I have a moment?
00:15:56I just need to
00:15:57I want to take a minute, please
00:15:59Sure
00:16:00Yeah, because I don't want to cry
00:16:05Thank you
00:16:06Breathe
00:16:07Breathe in
00:16:07This song's very challenging for me
00:16:09And I just want to be able to perform it
00:16:11The way I know that I can
00:16:12I'm ready to go sing my tush off
00:16:14That's for sure
00:16:14Oh my goodness
00:16:14This is a different genre
00:16:16Than what I normally sing
00:16:18I want to show Kelly my versatility
00:16:22Entry now from Team Kelly
00:16:24Houston Kelly
00:16:28Versus Tia Durant
00:16:30To win this battle, I'm gonna put everything I've got out on the line
00:16:33And I'm gonna hope that's enough
00:16:35You ready, girl?
00:16:36Opportunities like this don't come very often
00:16:38Losing is not an option
00:16:40Show them what they miss it out on
00:16:49When it was announced that we were going to be battling each other
00:16:51I was initially thinking like, what are they thinking?
00:16:54Me too!
00:16:55I'm out
00:16:55I wonder if something
00:16:58Like that would work
00:16:59Clyde
00:17:01Is he soulful?
00:17:02He said he'd sing gospel, did he not?
00:17:05So Houston
00:17:06Leans heavily towards Chris Tableton
00:17:08Oh
00:17:09Oh!
00:17:10There you go
00:17:11Listen, she can sing anything
00:17:12Yeah
00:17:12This is meant to be then
00:17:14Okay, I'm gonna put Houston and Tia together
00:17:16I think this mix between country and soul
00:17:20I never heard it until we started singing, but it works
00:17:23We have to come up with a name for it
00:17:25Ah, yeah
00:17:26Suntry or something
00:17:27Soul and Cut
00:17:28Something will come up with it
00:17:29I think I am ready
00:17:33It's me, Jennifer
00:17:35I came to see about you
00:17:37Oh my God, please
00:17:37Can I give you a hug first, Tia?
00:17:39Nice to meet you
00:17:40Oh, wow
00:17:40It's a pleasure
00:17:41Today seeing Jennifer Hudson
00:17:43It was definitely a surreal moment
00:17:45Not only is she an incredible singer
00:17:47She is an incredible actress
00:17:49She is doing things that I am inspired to do
00:17:53Unfortunately, Kelly couldn't be here today
00:17:56So she asked me to step in
00:17:57I hear y'all got a gospel background, both of you
00:18:01Yes, ma'am
00:18:01So my dad, he was a gospel singer
00:18:03And when he was in college
00:18:04He toured with a little group
00:18:06And they would go to local churches and sing around
00:18:08And then he was in a quartet when I was a kid
00:18:10I love to write
00:18:11And I love to be creative in that way
00:18:12And I think that came from my dad
00:18:13He put it in you, I love that
00:18:15Absolutely
00:18:16And tell me about you, Tia
00:18:17What's your roots?
00:18:17My upbringing is in church
00:18:19I'm from a small town
00:18:20Mm-hmm
00:18:20So faith, faith, faith
00:18:22Yes
00:18:22My grandfather used to sing
00:18:24And of course, he pushed me up there to do it
00:18:26So definitely, I got a lot of my confidence in church
00:18:29And my, yeah, go ahead, baby, you got it
00:18:31Yes
00:18:32That type of thing
00:18:32That's all right, baby, go head on
00:18:34Definitely
00:18:34I love that
00:18:35I see Miss Kelly put y'all together for that reason
00:18:38And she also picked a Chris Stapleton song for you guys
00:18:42It's because it has a blend of country, blues, soul, gospel
00:18:46Now we know
00:18:46So put your faith in that, all right
00:18:49Now take it away, Houston
00:18:51The only time we ever talk
00:18:54Is when the monthly bills are due
00:18:58We go to work, we go to church
00:19:02They're singing Either Way by Chris Stapleton
00:19:05Kelly knew exactly what she was doing when she made this pairing
00:19:09The world will come
00:19:12See, it has a pop soul vibe with a touch of gospel
00:19:15Baby, you can go or you can stay
00:19:21Houston has this huge country gritty voice
00:19:26But I won't love you either way
00:19:30It's just, mm, it works
00:19:33I won't love you either way
00:19:39Holy smokes
00:19:42Thank you
00:19:43Don't y'all come up in here with all of this
00:19:45Yeah
00:19:46I was very honored to have a shoe thrown at me by Miss Hudson
00:19:50I need my collection plate now, okay?
00:19:54Listen, this is what I'm talking about, tell the story
00:19:58Thank you so much
00:19:59Because it's so powerful
00:20:01I would love to hear your testimony and what you're singing
00:20:04And then hearing your testimony and what you're singing
00:20:07Where you're going through what you're going through
00:20:09But you're going through it in your own tracks
00:20:11Does that make sense?
00:20:12Yeah
00:20:13The song is so emotional
00:20:15Not only is it about love and storytelling, which is what soul is about
00:20:19It's about a deep vulnerability that I haven't always been open to
00:20:24And there is power and vulnerability
00:20:27What's the very end?
00:20:28On stage, we definitely want to give it some dramatic
00:20:31So I suggested the turn away
00:20:33Right
00:20:34Like the, I won't love you either way
00:20:36So how you physically did that?
00:20:39Okay, now put it in the vocal
00:20:41You're contemplating
00:20:42So let it be a thought
00:20:43Ooh
00:20:43You see what I'm saying?
00:20:44You over here, when you do separate
00:20:45That's what I mean by
00:20:47Put it in the lyrics
00:20:48So it's like
00:20:48What do I want either way?
00:20:50That's taking them on that journey
00:20:51Where you're figuring it out like
00:20:54Either way
00:20:54So it doesn't have to be collective
00:20:56No
00:20:57It doesn't have to be that at the end
00:20:58Because that's you
00:20:59Yeah
00:20:59Contemplating your journey
00:21:00I don't want to go
00:21:03Either way
00:21:05Either way
00:21:08It's like a conversational, emotional ending
00:21:11Yeah
00:21:12Whatever
00:21:12Whatever you feel
00:21:13Put it out there
00:21:14Your granddaddy
00:21:16Your daddy taught y'all well
00:21:18Yeah
00:21:19Okay, they gonna be proud
00:21:20Thank you
00:21:21I'm proud, so Kelly gonna be real proud
00:21:23Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
00:21:23Did I throw enough shoes?
00:21:24Yeah, you did
00:21:25Y'all got some more?
00:21:27Tia and Houston?
00:21:29How is Kelly gonna pick between the two of them?
00:21:32I'm so glad I'm not Kelly
00:21:34This is gonna be tough
00:21:36Just keep in mind
00:21:37It's a competition
00:21:38Sound wonderful together?
00:21:40But this is called The Voice
00:21:43Not voices
00:21:43The voice
00:21:44Now my heart's beating fast

00:21:48I got put up against the referee
00:21:49Come on now
00:21:50What I do know
00:21:51Is the coaches better get they shoes
00:21:53And their tissues ready

00:21:57Thank you so much
00:21:58Yay
00:21:58Yes

00:21:59That one pretty solid

00:22:25This battle starts now
00:22:27Alright
00:22:28Alright
00:22:29A strained now
00:22:39We're here
00:22:41We're here
00:22:44We're here
00:22:45We're here
00:22:46We're here
00:22:47And one of the couple of the battles
00:22:50We go to work, we go to church, we fade the perfect line
00:22:58Sing, girl!
00:23:03I'm past the point of giving a dance
00:23:08And all my tears are crying
00:23:16We can just go home like this
00:23:23Say the word we'll call liquid
00:23:31Baby you can go or you can stay
00:23:37Wow
00:23:38But I won't love you either way
00:23:46Beautiful!
00:23:47Yeah
00:23:49And I used to cry and stay up nights
00:23:56And wonder what went wrong
00:24:03Sing, Thea!
00:24:07It's been hard but hard to know
00:24:10Lead through death for so long
00:24:15For so long
00:24:18We can't just go home like this
00:24:24Say the word we'll call it quits
00:24:32Baby you can go or you can stay
00:24:42I won't love you either way
00:24:47Oh, no, no
00:24:48No, no, no
00:24:52Either way
00:24:58We're doing good performances today!
00:25:01It's a good day!
00:25:02It's a good day!
00:25:04Oh, man!
00:25:06You're amazing!
00:25:08You're amazing!
00:25:08Phenomenal!
00:25:09Oh, my God!
00:25:11Yeah!
00:25:13Man, that was crazy!
00:25:14You guys did great!
00:25:15Thank you!
00:25:16Tia, I turned for you
00:25:18I lost
00:25:20Houston, I didn't turn for you
00:25:22But I gotta tell you
00:25:22I was really, really blown away
00:25:24You were a major revelation, Houston, for me today
00:25:26That rasp in your voice in your upper register
00:25:28Especially when you're singing Chris Stapleton
00:25:29Who is like the master of that, right?
00:25:31You really fulfilled a tall order
00:25:33In being able to stay with that
00:25:35And do those big, gutty, high notes with rasp
00:25:38But I'm jealous of that
00:25:39Tia, I love you
00:25:40But I think if I was choosing
00:25:42I might actually go with Houston today
00:25:44Thank you so much
00:25:45You were both great
00:25:46I'm not trying to choose favorites
00:25:47Oh, no, I need help
00:25:47Well, y'all made it hard for her
00:25:50So congratulations for making it hard for her
00:25:52Houston, I was very impressed with you
00:25:54That higher part of your voice just really crackled in a really beautiful way
00:25:58But I will say I would choose Tia in this battle
00:26:01Not to contradict my friend over there
00:26:03But I just feel like the tone was perfect
00:26:07Oh, my God
00:26:07I loved your runs
00:26:08They were just so tastefully done
00:26:10Interesting and subtle
00:26:12Your tone was just liquid gold
00:26:14I just wanted to listen to you sing all day
00:26:17Like, I couldn't see her going home after that
00:26:19Thank you so much
00:26:21Thank you, coaches
00:26:22Thank you
00:26:23Wow, Kelly, I can see the anguish on your face already
00:26:26Yeah
00:26:27Battle of the champions
00:26:28They've all been really good
00:26:29And they make for difficult decisions
00:26:30What did you think about the whole battle first?
00:26:32This has been the hardest battles for me
00:26:34Because I wasn't able to be there at rehearsals
00:26:37You know, Jennifer, I do remember her time
00:26:39She threw her shoe in y'all's rehearsal
00:26:41She was like
00:26:43The shoe was thrown
00:26:44She doesn't do that for everyone
00:26:45That's how you know you did it right
00:26:46She just said it was such a great pairing
00:26:48And so I knew that you could both handle this song
00:26:51Handled it
00:26:51You both did such a great job
00:26:53Like, Tia, once again
00:26:54You did some really interesting stuff
00:26:55That was really cool
00:26:56I think that's what's special about you
00:26:58Is where your brain takes you melodically
00:27:00I think is very interesting
00:27:02And not many singers do
00:27:03Thank you
00:27:03And, Houston, your subtle vibrato
00:27:06And the emotion behind that
00:27:07Was something unexpected
00:27:09I knew you would be able to do the big stuff
00:27:11But that really intimate stuff was really special
00:27:14And I think just as powerful
00:27:15Oh, man
00:27:17Mmm
00:27:18I am like shaking
00:27:20Okay
00:27:20Kelly, tough one for you
00:27:22I honestly don't know which one
00:27:24I hate this right now
00:27:27Oh my God
00:27:28Somebody's stalling
00:27:29And you both
00:27:30I know you both chose different people
00:27:32Yeah, we didn't help
00:27:33Kelly, who is the winner of this battle?
00:27:35Um
00:27:37Just give me a second
00:27:38Let's go to commercial
00:27:39Yeah
00:27:39We'll be back
00:27:41This is almost
00:27:42I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
00:27:43This is so hard, this is so hard
00:27:52Welcome back to the Battles
00:27:55Oh
00:27:56Okay
00:28:00The winner of this battle
00:28:04Is Houston
00:28:06Houston
00:28:07Shocked
00:28:08Is moving on
00:28:09To the knockouts
00:28:10With Team Kelly
00:28:11This was by far
00:28:12My hardest decision
00:28:14Both are incredible singers
00:28:15But
00:28:16Houston showed me in the battles
00:28:18That he's got even more in his arsenal
00:28:20That I did not know about
00:28:21Thank you
00:28:21I'm excited to work with you team
00:28:22I'm sweating
00:28:23Houston may have some more shoes thrown at him y'all
00:28:25Thank you so much
00:28:26Thank y'all guys
00:28:27Great job brother
00:28:28It makes me feel really good
00:28:30That she wants to take me to the knockouts
00:28:31And I'm very hopeful
00:28:32That I can deliver what she's hoping for
00:28:34Oh that was very hard
00:28:36I just was so surprised by him
00:28:38I just loved how he sounded in the very beginning
00:28:40I feel like he won that
00:28:41I'm really looking forward to work under Kelly
00:28:43I know I didn't get to work with her this first time
00:28:45So I'm really excited to get her expertise and her insight
00:28:48Got Team Kelly going to the knockouts
00:28:50Thank y'all so much
00:28:52I love this song
00:28:53You have a Spanish song coming up
00:28:55Oh my sharia more
00:28:57Oh yeah
00:29:03Having fun?
00:29:05I'm having a great time man
00:29:06It's like we've just been doing this together for years
00:29:09Feels right
00:29:10Like almost like we're brothers
00:29:11Like we're bros
00:29:12Yeah
00:29:14Buenas buenas
00:29:15This is Aziz Guerra
00:29:16And I'm about to find out
00:29:18Who I'm going to be paired with for Battles
00:29:20I got the best singing partner y'all give me
00:29:22Oh my god
00:29:23I got Jeremy
00:29:25Jeremy's voice
00:29:26I love how smooth it is
00:29:27He's always on pitch
00:29:28That is something that I got to focus a little bit more on
00:29:31It's just getting super competitive
00:29:32I just want to make it to knockouts
00:29:35Aziz
00:29:36His baritone voice is so rich
00:29:38He's very delicate at the same time
00:29:39He does everything well
00:29:41You know he just makes me want to step my game up even more
00:29:43It's going to be amazing amazing amazing
00:29:45Yes
00:29:46This was my hardest pairing
00:29:47Because Aziz
00:29:48He sang entirely in Spanish
00:29:50And he's so singularly his own thing
00:29:52But I felt like Jeremy would be maybe a good person
00:29:55And the song helps me decide
00:29:57Oh my god
00:29:59It's Benji
00:30:00Benji Madden ladies and gentlemen
00:30:02Benji Madden
00:30:02Legend
00:30:03Benji
00:30:05This is Benji Madden right here
00:30:06Like I was not expecting that
00:30:07Huge fan, huge fan
00:30:09Seeing Benji was my childhood all over again
00:30:13MTV
00:30:14There was no way you could avoid Good Charlotte
00:30:16I love this song
00:30:17It's beautiful
00:30:18And the fact that we can sing it in English and Spanish
00:30:20I know I love that
00:30:20It's just you in Spanish
00:30:21Or are you going to do Spanish too
00:30:22He's going to sing in Spanish too
00:30:23Oh
00:30:24Yes
00:30:24I gave Aziz and Jeremy my shorty amor by Stevie Wonder
00:30:27Big shoes to fill
00:30:28As Stevie is literally like the baddest singer of all time
00:30:31It's nice when a song comes around
00:30:32And like makes sense for two people on my team
00:30:34Right
00:30:35It also is great because it's a challenge for you Jeremy
00:30:37I love that you're singing in Spanish
00:30:39I've been wanting to sing a song in Spanish for a minute so
00:30:43All right
00:30:44Jeremy do you speak Spanish?
00:30:45A little bit
00:30:46I'm not like fluent but
00:30:47Un poquito
00:30:48Un poquito
00:30:49Yeah
00:30:49Okay
00:30:50I love it
00:30:51Let's sing
00:30:52My sherry amor
00:30:56Pretty little one that I adore
00:30:59Jeremy you can just tell that he's put the hours and hours and hours and hours in
00:31:04It's a really rich tone
00:31:05Yeah
00:31:06Sweet soulful but deep
00:31:08That's a big voice to take on
00:31:19Aziz's voice I kind of felt like there was like a little bit of like old school crooner kind of
00:31:24vibe
00:31:24Aziz is like the Latin Josh Groban
00:31:26Yeah that's a great comp
00:31:28Right?
00:31:29Yeah
00:31:29If he leans into that then he'll shine
00:31:34Sounded good in Spanish
00:31:35Thank you
00:31:36Okay
00:31:37Started off great
00:31:38Towards the end
00:31:41It started to get too over harmonized
00:31:44Okay
00:31:44I don't want to sacrifice energy for harmony
00:31:47Jeremy
00:31:47Being a background singer every once in a while
00:31:49I hear you go into a very safe place
00:31:52Yes
00:31:52Because that's what you're used to doing
00:31:54But I would say like try your best to break out of that
00:31:57You have the license to be freer
00:32:00And not be restricted by what you've had to do in the past to be a support system
00:32:03Being a backup singer is a really tough gig
00:32:06Definitely
00:32:07You're there you know in service of a different record
00:32:10And you know to get to go out behind your own music
00:32:13Yeah
00:32:14I think like make sure you don't hold yourself back either
00:32:17Right
00:32:18And yeah don't let it be a weakness make it a strength
00:32:20Outside of The Voice I worked on a cruise ship
00:32:23Three shows a night
00:32:25Six nights a week
00:32:26I don't think you work harder anywhere else
00:32:29I also been a background vocalist pretty much my whole career
00:32:33And this time it's about me
00:32:35It's about preparing Jeremy
00:32:37The lights are on me
00:32:38The pressure is on me
00:32:40I want to show Adam that I am an artist
00:32:43And I take risks
00:32:45Aziz I just don't want it to be too chill
00:32:48You know what I'm saying?
00:32:49Okay
00:32:49A little bit more urgency
00:32:51Everybody's different
00:32:52You'll have something that's unique to you
00:32:54Get to know yourself as you go
00:32:56Right
00:32:56Definitely
00:32:57Gotcha
00:32:58I'm currently studying at Berklee College of Music in Boston
00:33:01Being here is just so much different
00:33:04Right now I'm just singing casually in front of Adam Levine
00:33:08I would love to win the battle
00:33:09Just being here is literally a dream come true
00:33:12Right on
00:33:12Yeah guys
00:33:13Awesome
00:33:13Thank you guys
00:33:14My guys
00:33:15Let's go
00:33:16I think if Jeremy can really step up and be the lead singer
00:33:20You know he's got the voice for it
00:33:22I don't like to pick sides so early but yes
00:33:24I don't disagree with you
00:33:26Jeremy is definitely
00:33:27Jeremy is definitely
00:33:28In the lead but there's been so many times someone's been in the lead
00:33:31Yeah
00:33:31And all of a sudden you just don't know
00:33:45Welcome back
00:33:50This battle starts now
00:34:04Thank you

00:34:20Pretty little one that I adore
00:34:25You're the only girl my heart beats for
00:34:30How I wish that you were mine
00:34:36Now on the street I'm going
00:34:40I ask everyone to pass
00:34:45If I look for you
00:34:49And I can't find you
00:34:55My sherry amor
00:34:58Won't you tell me how good you know
00:35:03Not behind a little smile I want
00:35:08How I wish that you were mine
00:35:12Okay, okay
00:35:14La, la, la, la, la, la
00:35:19La, la, la, la, la, la
00:35:23Mi querido amor

00:35:32Mi querido amor

00:35:42Mi querido amor
00:35:46Eres tú la flor que yo soñé
00:35:50You're the only girl my heart beats for
00:35:55How I wish that you were mine
00:36:01La, la, la, la, la, la, la
00:36:07La, la, la, la, la, la
00:36:11La, la, la, la, la, la
00:36:37I'd like to have a talk with Adam briefly before we get into this.
00:36:42Jeremy and I sang Ordinary People together, and my heart was broken after that when he
00:36:49chose Team Adam.
00:36:51Oh yeah, remember that?
00:36:52I get it.
00:36:53Well, that was beautiful, guys.
00:36:55Both of you sounded magnificent.
00:36:57If I were to choose, I would pick Jeremy as much as it breaks my heart that he's even
00:37:03on your team.
00:37:09Just have GIFs of that.
00:37:12All of my GIFs online are from The Voice.
00:37:15Same.
00:37:16Same.
00:37:17I think that you both did a really great job.
00:37:20I loved your runs equally.
00:37:21I thought they were very different.
00:37:23Obviously, you have very different voices.
00:37:24Adee, your voice, especially when you hold it out on those big soaring notes, that vibrato
00:37:29that comes into play.
00:37:30It's beautiful.
00:37:31Thank you so much, Kelly.
00:37:32And then, Jeremy, every time you just started a phrase, it was like, oh!
00:37:36I thought it was an equal playing field.
00:37:38I thought both of you did a great job.
00:37:41It's a tough one.
00:37:41I don't like it.
00:37:42Thank you, coaches.
00:37:43Appreciate it.
00:37:44Adam, you got a tough one here.
00:37:45Both of you guys did everything that was asked of you and more.
00:37:50And that is always, you know, like what makes this whole thing brutal to have to make a decision.
00:37:54I want you both to know I'm really, really, really happy and proud of both of you guys.
00:37:58You're doing a great job.
00:37:59Yeah.
00:38:01Adam, the time has come.
00:38:04Yeah.
00:38:05Who is the winner of this battle?
00:38:07I think that this person is ready now.
00:38:11And so that's why the winner of this battle is Jeremy.
00:38:17Jeremy, removed out of the back house with Team Adam, congratulations.
00:38:21Jeremy is no longer a background singer.
00:38:23He's coming into the foreground, and I'm really proud of him because he's doing all the things.
00:38:26Thank you, man.
00:38:27Thank you very much.
00:38:28Jeremy's voice has presence.
00:38:29And Jeremy was just so good and so right on the money, and just he deserved to advance.
00:38:33Nuna's on Duolingo.
00:38:35Oh, you're on Duolingo?
00:38:36What do you learn in Spanish?
00:38:37Yeah.
00:38:38Do you know, like, colors yet?
00:38:41Or, like, azul?
00:38:42Yeah.
00:38:42What's verde, Lou?
00:38:43What's verde?
00:38:44Blanco.
00:38:46I like the Spanish.
00:38:47I thought he was sweet.
00:38:55Welcome back to the Battles.
00:38:58Drewski, these battles, they've been so intense.
00:39:01It kind of reminds me of the 95 Eastern Conference semifinals.
00:39:05That's the year I was born.
00:39:07What?
00:39:08It reminds me of my family get-togethers.
00:39:10A lot of yelling, fighting, and stealing.
00:39:12Speaking of stealing, Adam is the only coach with a steal left.
00:39:16Adam has attempted a steal before, but it hasn't worked out yet, you know?
00:39:19What do you mean?
00:39:20I know what he's going through mentally, but he needs to use that pressure.
00:39:24Dig deep.
00:39:25Hit that button at the right time.
00:39:27Well, let's see what happens.
00:39:28I'm next.
00:39:29Oh, my God, they're doing Walk On By?
00:39:30They sound really good on it.
00:39:32I love that song.
00:39:33The country girl sounds amazing on it.
00:39:35Our team is so lucky to have Money Long.
00:39:38I'm so grateful to be here.
00:39:40I'm super excited to share my knowledge with this next generation of artists,
00:39:44and be a trailblazer and chop down the trees and make the path so that it's not as tough for
00:39:50people that come behind me.
00:39:51So, let's talk about these artists.
00:39:53We've got Kendra versus Natasha.
00:39:56We are partnering together for battles.
00:40:00She can moonwalk?
00:40:01She's got to do this in the performance.
00:40:03How do you do this?
00:40:04It's all in the ankles.
00:40:05Natasha and I couldn't be different on so many levels to where I'm always hot and I need a fan.
00:40:10I'm freezing, so I put it on a rope.
00:40:13They are so different.
00:40:14And I was like, how do I find a song for the both of them?
00:40:18And I went to Dionne Warwick, Walk On By.
00:40:21Yeah, Dionne's got smooth and she's got grit.
00:40:23Exactly.
00:40:24Let's do it.
00:40:26Hello, ladies.
00:40:28So, there's John Legend and there's Money Long.
00:40:31This is sick.
00:40:32She's written amazing songs like California King Bed by Rihanna.
00:40:38I'm a songwriter back in Nashville for movies and TV shows.
00:40:43I am so excited to hear input from such an accomplished writer.
00:40:49Both of you got your boots on today.
00:40:51We're ready to walk on by.
00:40:52Walk on by.
00:40:53I know she did there.
00:40:54When we got this song, I was like, let's go.
00:40:57This is so in my wheelhouse.
00:40:58I was like, let me look it up.
00:41:01Well, this is a classic.
00:41:02And the thing about great songwriting is you can translate it to different genres.
00:41:08Yeah.
00:41:08Let's do it.
00:41:09If you see me walking down the street.
00:41:12I love Natasha because she's got such style in her voice.
00:41:15It has like a grace to it.
00:41:17It's just silky, slinky.
00:41:19And I really love that she owns it.
00:41:21She doesn't try to do anything that doesn't feel like it's her.
00:41:25Walk on by.
00:41:28Kendra is so raspy and like gritty.
00:41:30She kind of gives me a little Amy Winehouse vibe.
00:41:32And it just kind of sounds like vinyl.
00:41:34Smoky.
00:41:35She just sings the melody in a way that is so full.
00:41:40Kendra, I like how you broke up the walk on by.
00:41:46When the call and response, don't stop.
00:41:49You're not stepping on each other.
00:41:51So sing it.
00:41:52Can we address the harmonics in the bridge?
00:41:55Something was rubbing to me.
00:41:57We just arranged it to what we thought.
00:41:59I'll help you like compose something together.
00:42:03Oh, don't stop.
00:42:07Won't you walk on by?
00:42:12Won't you walk on by?
00:42:16That's it.
00:42:17That's the vibe.
00:42:18I love that.
00:42:18It's just simpler, you know?
00:42:20Yeah.
00:42:21John Legend truly is a master at his craft.
00:42:24And how lucky am I to have a person like that as my coach.
00:42:30Back home, I was a dental hygienist in Nashville.
00:42:34I'll see you next time, girl.
00:42:36I lost my job coming out here to follow my dreams.
00:42:40If I'm going to win this battle, I'm going to need to show John everything that I'm made of.
00:42:45Thank you both so much.
00:42:47Both of them are really great at what they do.
00:42:50On the day of battles, it's going to be about who shows up being their best self.
00:42:55Let's go!
00:42:59Let the battle begin.
00:43:07If you see me walking down the street, and I start to cry, each time we meet, walk on back,
00:43:19walk on back.
00:43:23Okay.
00:43:24Make believe that you don't see the tears, just let me grieve and cry.
00:43:32Cause each time I sing, I break down and cry.
00:43:40Walk on back.
00:43:41Don't you stop.
00:43:43Walk on back.
00:43:45Walk on back.
00:43:46Don't you stop.
00:43:49Walk on back.
00:43:49Baby, walk on by.
00:43:53Bye, yeah.
00:43:54I just can't get over losing you.
00:43:59And so if I seem broken and blow.
00:44:04Walk on back.
00:44:07Oh, walk on back.
00:44:13Foolish pride is all that I have loved, so let me hide this feeling inside.
00:44:22And I tell you, when you say goodbye, walk on back.
00:44:29Don't you stop.
00:44:31Walk on back.
00:44:33Walk on back.
00:44:34Walk on back.
00:44:34Don't you stop.
00:44:38Oh, don't stop.
00:44:42Oh, won't you walk on by.
00:44:46Oh, why don't you walk on by.
00:44:49Hey.
00:44:52Walk on by.
00:44:56Hey.
00:44:57Walk on by.
00:45:00Hey.
00:45:00Hey.
00:45:01Walk on by.
00:45:01Foolish pride.
00:45:03That's all that I have loved, so let me hide this feeling inside me.
00:45:10I can't help but tell you goodbye.
00:45:16Walk on by, walk on by, walk on by, walk on by.
00:45:34Beautiful.
00:45:36Well done.
00:45:37Great job.
00:45:38I love that song.
00:45:39It was so cool.
00:45:40I feel like you guys couldn't possibly
00:45:42be more different.
00:45:44Natasha, this song may be a little more in your zone.
00:45:48Kendra, it still showed me things about your voice I would want to hear.
00:45:51It's going to be a tough one, and it really just boils down to preference.
00:45:54I don't know what to tell you, John.
00:45:55I'm sorry, man.
00:45:56Useless.
00:45:57I know.
00:45:57I'm useless.
00:46:00Kendra, you are ready to release the firecrackers.
00:46:03Like, that little rasp in your voice.
00:46:05There is a level of feistiness.
00:46:07Thank you so much.
00:46:08And, Natasha, like, you just have more of a smoothness to your voice
00:46:11and an ease to it.
00:46:13I would lean towards Kendra a little bit more.
00:46:16Thank you, coaches.
00:46:18All right, John, give us some thoughts on the battle, please.
00:46:21Kendra came to us singing Little Big Town, but I told her she's a very soulful singer.
00:46:27Like, I hear that edge in her voice.
00:46:29And then, Natasha, you're very smooth, very sultry.
00:46:33Well done, both of you.
00:46:35John, who is the winner of this battle?
00:46:40The winner of this battle is Natasha.
00:46:46Natasha, congratulations!
00:46:48Kendra and Natasha.
00:46:49They both sounded great, and I just slightly preferred Natasha's approach.
00:46:54Well done!
00:46:55I love the subtleties in their voice.
00:46:58It has this smoothness that I really appreciate.
00:47:00Thank you so much!
00:47:02I'm so excited for the knockouts because that's when they choose their own song again.
00:47:06We really get to start to round out our image of these artists
00:47:10and what their taste is and what style they want to sing.
00:47:13So I'm really excited to see Natasha.
00:47:23Welcome back to The Battles.
00:47:26Hi!
00:47:27I'm Jennifer.
00:47:28Oh my God, the one and only.
00:47:29Kelly called me, and she said, can you come see about my fabulous team?
00:47:32Woo!
00:47:33You are in great hands.
00:47:35Yes.
00:47:35Because I was once a coach on The Voice.
00:47:39She's beautiful.
00:47:40Am I cute?
00:47:41Oh my God, you're great.
00:47:41Am I doing okay?
00:47:43Kelly told me you can really sing.
00:47:45We gotta make her proud.
00:47:46Yeah.
00:47:47All right.
00:47:48Go take it away, Che-Che.
00:47:49A kiss, a touch.
00:47:51Aaron and Jonah, they're singing the first time from Damiano Davis.
00:47:56Kelly picked this song because it's relatively new, and she thought this song would be a big challenge for them,
00:48:01and I think she's right.
00:48:02Their powerhouse voice is from two completely different genres.
00:48:07You have rock in the stage world.
00:48:09First time we met!
00:48:11Which is an interesting mashup, but they both have range that does not end,
00:48:17which makes it, oof, a competition.
00:48:20First time we met!
00:48:23I ain't got no shoes, so I have to throw the paper.
00:48:26I love that.
00:48:27Jonah.
00:48:27Yeah.
00:48:28You're so captivating to watch.
00:48:30You see the story as you're singing it, and you're creating that picture.
00:48:34I know Kelly wanted to hear you venture off into, like, rock and, you know, outside of classical or opera.
00:48:40Would you say that is a challenge for you?
00:48:42Oh, one thousand percent, yeah.
00:48:43Because my first song was more like an Italian poppera, Andre Bertelli style song.
00:48:48Just sing.
00:48:49Okay.
00:48:50Don't think about it.
00:48:51As my grandmama would say, stay in flat foot and sing.
00:48:53Because you have the gift naturally.
00:48:55I miss Kelly, but, oh my God, J-Hud is my happy place.
00:49:00She was saying to me, I'm okay, I can trust myself.
00:49:03I had three to four jobs.
00:49:04I've been singing at weddings, funerals.
00:49:06Sounds a little grim, but everything that I've been doing has been leading up to this moment.
00:49:10And as beautiful as a voice as Aaron's is, that's not my voice.
00:49:15And I am happy to show them what I can do with my voice in this song.
00:49:18And then for you, Aaron, all you got to do is know the song.
00:49:21Let it just be the wind beneath your wings, okay?
00:49:23Yeah.
00:49:23Because you want to perform it, become it, and you want the people to feel like, I could do anything.
00:49:29Yeah.
00:49:29Oh my God, you know?
00:49:31But somewhere in there, Aaron, you need to find a way to get yourself a good little note.
00:49:35It's going to take it to another level.
00:49:37This is a competition.
00:49:38You got to let him know, baby, I am still here.
00:49:41There is a magnetism about Jennifer Hudson.
00:49:43And she reminded me, this is a competition.
00:49:45I performed in all 50 states and all throughout the world.
00:49:48If I lose the battle, I'll definitely be disappointed.
00:49:51Jonah's an amazing performer.
00:49:52He has a great voice.
00:49:53And there really isn't anyone else like him in this competition.
00:49:56Time to step it up a little bit.
00:49:57Be you, both of you, to the fullest.
00:50:00Because what?
00:50:01That's what got you here.
00:50:02Amen.
00:50:02Aaron and Jonah.
00:50:04It is going to be a true battle for Kelly.
00:50:07And I'm glad I'm not Kelly.
00:50:09Okay?
00:50:10Let the competition begin.
00:50:13Battling now from Team Kelly, Aaron Levinier versus Jonah Mayer.
00:50:23Whoa.
00:50:25This battle starts now.
00:50:35I thought my heart had felt it all.
00:50:42I swam for miles across the ocean.
00:50:47Never been the shore.
00:50:50My eyes were closed.
00:50:54My eyes were low.
00:50:57I was just getting drunk on pills and foshes.
00:51:02Craving something more.
00:51:06Traveled the world, but it got me nowhere.
00:51:09Nothing could ever compare.
00:51:12A kiss.
00:51:14A touch.
00:51:15A summoning and crying.
00:51:16All the trumps.
00:51:17I've done it.
00:51:18They couldn't get me higher than the first time we met.
00:51:23There's nothing like the first time we met.
00:51:27Yeah.
00:51:28I crashed my car.
00:51:30Oh, baby, I was flying.
00:51:32And I talked to God.
00:51:33He couldn't get me higher than the first time we met.
00:51:38There's nothing like the third time we met.
00:51:47You set the room on fire.
00:51:51You take the angels higher.
00:51:54Oh, I heard a thousand choirs
00:51:58Oh, baby, you ain't seen nothing yet
00:52:02Traveled the world and got me nowhere
00:52:06Nothing could ever compare
00:52:08The keys, the touch, the song that made me cry
00:52:12And the drugs I've done could never get me higher
00:52:16Than the first time we met
00:52:19There's nothing like the first time we met
00:52:22I crossed my car, oh, baby, I was flying
00:52:27And I told you to God that it could get me higher
00:52:31Than the first time we met
00:52:33There's nothing like the first time
00:52:36The first time we met
00:52:43The first time we met
00:52:51There's nothing like the first time we met
00:52:54The first time we met
00:53:17Between having that energy that I know you guys had
00:53:20And also containing it enough to maintain control of your instrument
00:53:25And that sounds so lame
00:53:27But what I was thinking the whole time was like
00:53:29I wish we could like get our breathing under control right now
00:53:32So I could hear some more that you guys have to offer
00:53:34Because you guys are both really powerful singers
00:53:35Yeah, I think both of you when you hit those big glorious high notes
00:53:39That's what I love
00:53:40I just feel like Jonah's opera angle
00:53:44We could explore his strengths in the competition
00:53:49Thank you coaches
00:53:50All right, Kelly, got a tough decision here in a minute
00:53:52Give us some thoughts on the battle first, please
00:53:54You're both like firecrackers
00:53:57And I think both of you equally had some pitch issues
00:54:01But Aaron, man, I mean, we all heard it
00:54:04That note that you went up for there
00:54:06That's incredible
00:54:06Your range is incredible
00:54:08And then even Jonah
00:54:09Whenever you went for your big notes
00:54:11You have this roundness that just fills the space
00:54:15You got a tough decision here
00:54:16Who is the winner of this battle?
00:54:18I'm gonna have to go on what I think
00:54:20Will stand out a little more in the end
00:54:23So the winner of this battle is Jonah
00:54:27Jonah, congratulations
00:54:28You both are very talented
00:54:30But there is something very special to me about Jonah
00:54:32I feel like he had a little bit more edge than Aaron
00:54:35Jonah's special
00:54:36I like his energy
00:54:37I'm so excited!
00:54:39Woo!
00:54:41That's Jonah
00:54:42I think that's Jonah, yeah
00:54:43That's Jonah
00:54:44Told you he's a firecracker
00:54:54Welcome back
00:54:57I don't know about you
00:54:57I'm feeling kind of nervous
00:54:58Like just with these doors right now
00:55:00I'm like, okay, so it's real
00:55:01Got it
00:55:01Yeah, I wasn't really feeling nervous
00:55:03Now I'm like
00:55:04Until this moment
00:55:04It's keeping in a little bit
00:55:06Yeah
00:55:06So I want to introduce you to Ashley and Syd
00:55:10Ashley did a kind of country pop, country rock vibe
00:55:13There's pictures of you and I
00:55:16On the walls around me
00:55:19We heard your tone
00:55:20The way you jump between different parts of your voice
00:55:23And the fact that you're doing all that at the age of 18
00:55:25Is just so impressive
00:55:26And then Syd is like a whaler
00:55:29She sang, uh, Jessie J
00:55:31Which is not easy
00:55:33Well there is something going down
00:55:38Like the storm in the sky
00:55:40Did you just win the voice?
00:55:42Is the voice over?
00:55:44My team is full
00:55:45I'm so angry
00:55:47I literally have one spot left on my team
00:55:49You were sent from heaven, Syd
00:55:51To fill that final spot
00:55:53And you can win this competition
00:55:57So we'll see
00:55:59I'm excited
00:56:00Yeah, it's good to be here
00:56:01Let's go
00:56:01Ashley and Syd, you know
00:56:03I felt like they would both give me a powerful
00:56:06Big pop diva performance
00:56:08And I gave them the mother of all
00:56:11Yeah
00:56:11Pop diva performances
00:56:12With a really classic Mariah Carey song called
00:56:15Love Takes Time
00:56:16This song is
00:56:17It's a doozy
00:56:18I can't wait to hear what you do with it
00:56:21Definitely
00:56:21This is the voice
00:56:22I want y'all to come out here and flex on them
00:56:26I don't wanna be here
00:56:28Mariah has that belty chest voice
00:56:31She's got a deep lower register as well
00:56:34And I think both Syd and Ashley have those things
00:56:37I love when Ashley's doing the attitude
00:56:41And Syd, it's like her tone just hits you in the face
00:56:46I mean, every time they sang together
00:56:48I kept getting chills
00:56:50All right
00:56:51It was amazing
00:56:52It's really good
00:56:53It's like you're super passionate
00:56:54You have attitude
00:56:55Like I love when you like
00:56:58You can do it
00:56:59When you do that super long high note
00:57:01Just take it back a little
00:57:02Just to let the lead
00:57:04Cause she's really doing the lead at that point
00:57:06So it's not too clashing, you know
00:57:08Yeah
00:57:08It feels very humbling
00:57:11To learn from people with such out of this world talent
00:57:16I'm like pinching myself
00:57:17By like going home and sobbing
00:57:19I've been a wedding singer now for about three years
00:57:23It's so fun
00:57:24It's like I don't even go to work
00:57:26Which is so cool
00:57:27The voice is a really big step for me
00:57:29Just so people can see me as an artist
00:57:33Writing this battle would prove to myself
00:57:35That you're here for a reason
00:57:37And you just gotta keep going
00:57:39Ashley
00:57:39My main advice would be
00:57:42Just thinking about how you transition
00:57:43Between your head voice and your chest voice
00:57:45Cause it felt a little bit disjointed
00:57:47And maybe just decide
00:57:48Stay in my chest voice
00:57:49Cause it'll be easier to keep it smooth
00:57:51Sure
00:57:51Thank you
00:57:52Can we do
00:57:53I don't wanna be there
00:57:54I don't wanna be there
00:57:57You want to sing with the harmony at the end
00:57:58So sit first
00:58:00I don't wanna be there
00:58:01I don't wanna be there
00:58:04And then together
00:58:05I don't wanna be there
00:58:09Oh yes, that'd be tasty
00:58:10Taking Love Takes Time
00:58:12And really trying to make it my own
00:58:14Is kind of hard
00:58:15It's a riot carry
00:58:17You can't get any harder than that
00:58:18But I wanna show John with this performance
00:58:21I am very versatile
00:58:23And I can go into a different genre
00:58:25But still be myself
00:58:26Now it's just all about
00:58:28Getting it into your body
00:58:29And feeling it
00:58:30Like you've practiced it so much
00:58:32It's second nature, you know
00:58:33Y'all got some pipes, honey
00:58:36Love it
00:58:36I'm having a hard time
00:58:38Thinking who you gonna pick
00:58:40Ashley!
00:58:42I just wanna see who goes out there
00:58:44And shows the world
00:58:45That they need to be
00:58:46In the next round
00:58:48This song
00:58:49Is demanding
00:58:50It requires a lot of
00:58:52Natural ability
00:58:53And skill
00:58:54And you just wanna see somebody
00:58:56That isn't afraid
00:58:57Of this kind of challenge
00:58:58And goes out there
00:58:59And just nails it
00:59:00Love takes time
00:59:03To hear when you're hurting so much
00:59:07Couldn't see that I was blind
00:59:11To let you go
00:59:14I can't escape this pain
00:59:17Inside
00:59:18Cause love takes time
00:59:23I don't wanna be here
00:59:27I don't wanna be here
00:59:30Alone
00:59:35You might say
00:59:37That it's over
00:59:42And you might say
00:59:45That you don't care
00:59:47That you don't care
00:59:49That you don't care
00:59:50You might say
00:59:52You don't miss me
00:59:55You know you need me
00:59:57But I know that you do
00:59:59And I feel that you do
01:00:01And so
01:00:05It takes time
01:00:08To hear when you're hurting so much
01:00:11I couldn't say
01:00:13I couldn't say
01:00:13That I was so blind
01:00:16To let you go
01:00:19I couldn't say
01:00:21I couldn't say
01:00:22I couldn't say
01:00:22It's over
01:00:23Cause love takes turn
01:00:27Cause love takes time
01:00:27Come on
01:00:28I don't wanna be there
01:00:32I don't wanna be there
01:00:36Yeah, I don't wanna be there, alone.
01:00:58I saw this song before I walked out
01:01:00and I was like, that is a tall order.
01:01:02I love this song so much.
01:01:04I'm gonna start with you, Ashley.
01:01:05I did feel like there were some pitchy parts here and there.
01:01:08There were also some really beautiful moments.
01:01:09Girl, your voice, when it gets really big
01:01:11and you open up that roundness, it's beautiful.
01:01:14It is a really beautiful, big old sound.
01:01:18And Syd, I'm still angry
01:01:20for not even being able to possibly turn for you.
01:01:23I like to think she would've chosen me anyway.
01:01:25At least you have an excuse.
01:01:26I was in it and I still lost.
01:01:28Thank you, coaches.
01:01:30All right, Jon, give us some thoughts on that battle
01:01:32before he tells who won.
01:01:33Both of you are such wonderful singers.
01:01:36And Ashley, you really do have an amazing voice.
01:01:39When you have this powerful instrument,
01:01:42part of what you're doing is learning how to harness it
01:01:44and controlling this gift that you have.
01:01:46It just takes time.
01:01:48As Mariah said.
01:01:49Oh, like love.
01:01:51And, Syd, it is that interesting combination
01:01:55of going to the heights of what you're able to do
01:01:57with your voice, but not sounding shrill.
01:02:00It's a remarkable, like, rare thing that you have.
01:02:03Thank you so much.
01:02:04Thank you, Jon.
01:02:04Jon, who is the winner of this battle?
01:02:08The winner of this battle is Syd.
01:02:13Say, Syd, congratulations.
01:02:16You are moving on to the knockouts for Team Legend.
01:02:19Ashley and Syd, both of these girls are really talented,
01:02:22but Syd is just such a phenomenal performer.
01:02:25She hit some of the highest notes you'll ever hear
01:02:27an artist sing.
01:02:29As she does it effortlessly, it's really remarkable.
01:02:31She belongs in the finale of this show.
01:02:34She's really special.
01:02:44Welcome back to The Battles at Universal Studios Hollywood.
01:02:49All right, Abby, can you all have fun?
01:02:50All right, thank you.
01:02:51Do all that and have fun.
01:02:52All right.
01:02:53All right, it's there, my folks.
01:02:54It's only about a minute, and we'll go.
01:02:55Yes, ma'am.
01:02:56All right, here we go, everybody.
01:02:58Last time I was in this room was the blind audition,
01:03:02and I got a three-chair turn,
01:03:03but there's still a lot that I want to show.
01:03:06I want to work with Kelly, and I hope to stay around
01:03:09for some more rounds and learn all that I can from her.
01:03:13The Voice is such a huge opportunity for me.
01:03:16I'm from a really small town, and getting on a stage
01:03:18that can be seen all across America
01:03:19is something that I am so blessed to experience.
01:03:23When I walk on stage, I'm going to be thinking about
01:03:26doing my best, being myself, and making my family proud.
01:03:29I am so excited for this.
01:03:31Who will win this team's Cali battle?
01:03:33Will it be Abigail Oakley or Julia Goldman?
01:03:44Abigail.
01:03:45Oh, Julia.
01:03:46Hi, ladies.
01:03:48Hello.
01:03:48Abigail versus Julia.
01:03:50The voices are similar in some ways, but still different.
01:03:54Abigail is more folk.
01:03:56Julia is more country.
01:03:58They're singing Rhiannon by Fleetwood Mac.
01:04:01I think this is the perfect song because it kind of bridges them.
01:04:04Can you tell me a little bit about yourselves?
01:04:06Who wants to start?
01:04:08Um, I can go.
01:04:09Abigail, you go first, because she said you're a little shy.
01:04:11I'm a little shy.
01:04:12She told me.
01:04:13Yes, I'm a songwriter.
01:04:14I live in Nashville.
01:04:16I've done music all my life.
01:04:18Tell me a little bit about you, Julia.
01:04:20I'm 19.
01:04:21I'm from North Carolina.
01:04:22I sing country music, but I love everything.
01:04:24Rock Americana.
01:04:25Stevie Nicks is like my idol, so I'm really excited to be singing this song.
01:04:28Speaking of the song, I want to hear you ladies sing it.
01:04:31All your life, you've never seen a woman taking back.
01:04:36You know what's interesting?
01:04:37Abigail naturally has a yodel in her voice, which normally comes from more of a country
01:04:43style of singing that Julia does.
01:04:45She is like a cat in the dark, and then she is.
01:04:49Which maybe is why they work so well together.
01:04:53Put your stamps, she promised you.
01:04:55Julia, her vibrato is special.
01:04:57And then the energy that she exudes when she's singing.
01:05:02It's infectious.
01:05:03It takes the womb.
01:05:05Two completely different personalities.
01:05:09They're both captivating in their own way.
01:05:14Yes, y'all.
01:05:16Yes.
01:05:17You are so interesting and captivating.
01:05:20Oh, wow.
01:05:21I tend to be one with a big personality, right?
01:05:24But it's the people who are so quiet are the most interesting.
01:05:26As an artist, take us into that world.
01:05:29I'm big on, like, owning who you are.
01:05:32And the energy you bring.
01:05:34I saw this bubbleness.
01:05:35Like, you were like, you want to just twirl around?
01:05:37Twirl around.
01:05:37Yes, ma'am.
01:05:38If that's what you feel, this is your moment.
01:05:40Make sure you're the focal point.
01:05:42Allow yourself to be every bit of you, because you're the stars.
01:05:46It's y'alls for the taking.
01:05:48Both of them have the star power.
01:05:49So what this comes down to is who shines the brightest on the day.
01:05:54All your life, you've never seen a woman taken by the wind.
01:06:01Would you stay if she promised you heaven?
01:06:05Will you ever win?
01:06:09Will you ever win?
01:06:16You're not me.
01:06:19No.
01:06:25You're not me.
01:06:31She rings like a bell through the night
01:06:35And wouldn't you love to love her
01:06:38She holds her life like a bird in a flight
01:06:42And who will be her lover
01:06:46All your life you've never seen a woman
01:06:50Taken by the wind
01:06:53Would you say if she promised you heaven
01:06:57Will you ever win
01:07:00Will you ever win
01:07:10Oh no
01:07:18Create
01:07:20Create
01:07:25I'm
01:07:27I'm

01:10:49I'm
01:10:49I'm
01:10:52I'm
01:10:54We're doing shows and we gigging and making it happen.
01:10:57I love it.
01:10:58I try to sing every day, all day, and gig as much as I can.
01:11:03I'm real structured.
01:11:04I'm really just adamant about taking this opportunity
01:11:07and putting my best foot forward.
01:11:11Making my parents proud is the thing that I live for.
01:11:15They've sacrificed so much.
01:11:17My daddy was in the military.
01:11:19It was a choice made to provide for a family.
01:11:21My dad's background taught me a strong work ethic.
01:11:25I've been the kid, you know, who was super creative,
01:11:29but didn't like school.
01:11:31Now that I've found something that I'm focused on,
01:11:34I'm really harnessing it to let it push me to work more.
01:11:37Well, I'm so excited to hear y'all sing Let Me Love You,
01:11:40written by the great Neo, performed by the great Mario.
01:11:43This is one of the great classic R&B songs, truly,
01:11:47of this last 25 years.
01:11:49Both of y'all are really good R&B singers,
01:11:52but with really different tones.
01:11:54I felt like this song would be a great song for both of you to sing,
01:11:57so I'm excited to hear you.
01:12:03Mike has all this air around his voice.
01:12:06His tone is so distinctive.
01:12:08A lot of guys with that kind of tone don't have the range that Mike has,
01:12:12so the combination of his tone and the range he has is really exceptional.
01:12:16So can we make this thing go?
01:12:19And he also has power.
01:12:22He was hitting the high notes nicely.
01:12:23Yeah, no, he can belt a little bit.
01:12:24Yeah.
01:12:24It was good.
01:12:26You should let me love you.
01:12:28JJ has all of the runs.
01:12:31The scales are crazy.
01:12:34And his ability to pick where to do it,
01:12:37and how he could fit so many notes in one little tiny part.
01:12:42And it doesn't sound cluttered.
01:12:44That is a very, very skillful ability.
01:12:48Let me love you.
01:12:54Yeah.
01:12:56Man, this is going to be really good.
01:12:58Both of y'all really sound good together.
01:13:01And I like the back and forth.
01:13:03And I like that you guys were more answering each other
01:13:05than trying to harmonize most of the time.
01:13:07That's my new favorite of the day.
01:13:10Neither of you need to try to worry about being better than the other
01:13:13at what you do because your styles are so different from each other.
01:13:17Like, just be the best you.
01:13:19Be mindful of what you do on stage
01:13:21because part of how you convince the audience to fall in love with you
01:13:24is just your demeanor, your swag, the way you physically carry yourselves.
01:13:28The tiebreaker will be charisma, stage presence, all that good stuff.
01:13:33Don't they call that dirty mackin'?
01:13:34That's what they call that. Dirty mackin'.
01:13:36I'm happy. It's really good.
01:13:38Yeah, so I'm going to give you a little secret.
01:13:40When you freestyle singing like the way that we do,
01:13:43the rule is eight notes.
01:13:45Mm.
01:13:45Right?
01:13:46Do, re, mi, fa, sol, latino.
01:13:48Mm-hmm.
01:13:48Don't do more than that.
01:13:50If you're going to do a run, finish it at eight.
01:13:53Just count it.
01:13:54You know what I'm saying?
01:13:55Okay.
01:13:55That's interesting. I've never heard that.
01:13:57Yeah.
01:13:58I just gave you something.
01:13:59Now I'm going to go back and listen to my records and start counting.
01:14:02No, seriously.
01:14:03All of the hit songs in the main melody will not have more than eight notes.
01:14:09Yeah.
01:14:10Mani's coaching is good because Mani understands all of the ingredients that go into hits.
01:14:15She kept us electrifying.
01:14:16I'm excited, y'all.
01:14:18This is going to be a great performance.
01:14:19Yeah, this is really good.
01:14:19Somebody's getting stolen.
01:14:20Oh, Lord.
01:14:21So don't think of it like you're competing with each other.
01:14:24Just be your best self and somebody will get stolen.
01:14:27I guarantee it.
01:14:28It's going to be dope, y'all.
01:14:29Hey, Jay.
01:14:30Mike.
01:14:31Oh, yeah.
01:14:31I got legend jackets for you, your team legend for life.
01:14:34Oh, yeah.
01:14:35That's what's up, man.
01:14:36After rehearsing, I feel like I picked the best coach.
01:14:41His advice, his energy, it was everything.
01:14:46Everything.
01:14:47So nice to meet you.
01:14:48Best of luck to you all.
01:14:49We wanted to make it hard for our coach to send any one of us home.
01:14:53You think you're going to be able to pick?
01:14:54I don't know.
01:14:55I don't know.
01:14:56I always wait till the day and see how it goes that day.
01:14:58Because some people just step up when it's time.
01:15:01When the light's on, the pressure's on, and that's when I decide.
01:15:04Because based on rehearsal, I could go either way.
01:15:13Welcome back to The Voice Battle of Champions.
01:15:18It's a nice battle.
01:15:20It's been such a fun battle round.
01:15:22I'm excited for the knockouts now.
01:15:25It's my team coming.
01:15:27This is the guy that wore the suit that you liked.
01:15:32Wait, KJ's going to be good, too.
01:15:33They were both really good.
01:15:35Oh my god, Mario?
01:15:36I haven't heard this song in a long time.
01:15:38It's such a great song.
01:15:39KJ Willis!
01:15:40Mike Steele!
01:15:42The guys look clean!
01:15:44The fits are nice.
01:15:45Let the battle begin.
01:16:02Baby I just don't get it.
01:16:04Do you enjoy being hurt?
01:16:07I know you smell the perfume
01:16:09The makeup on dessert
01:16:11You don't believe your stories
01:16:14You know that there are lies
01:16:16As bad as you are, stick around
01:16:19And I just don't know why
01:16:21Cause if I was your man
01:16:23Baby, you
01:16:24You'd never worry about
01:16:25What I do
01:16:26And I'd be coming home
01:16:28Back to you every night
01:16:30Doing your right
01:16:31You're the type of one
01:16:32You deserve good things

01:17:12With me and you is whatever, girl
01:17:16Hey, here we made this thing go
01:17:23You said let me love you

01:17:32Baby, good love and protection
01:17:35Make me your selection

01:18:15Yeah!
01:18:16Kelly!
01:18:17Good job, baby.
01:18:18Kelly!
01:18:22Yeah!
01:18:24Yeah!
01:18:26Yeah!
01:18:27Wow!
01:18:29That was really good
01:18:30Yeah
01:18:31You are so screwed
01:18:33Yeah, I know, I know, I know
01:18:34I mean, that was incredible
01:18:36That was so, so good and tasteful
01:18:38The whole time I was like, tennis
01:18:40I was like, oh damn
01:18:41And then I'd be like, oh damn
01:18:43Going back and forth
01:18:44And especially, oh my god, Mike
01:18:46This one run you just did towards the end
01:18:48That went all the way down
01:18:49It was like
01:18:49Yeah
01:18:50It was so good
01:18:52I loved it
01:18:53I thought, KJ, you're a little more like higher
01:18:55Even when you're doing the high stuff
01:18:57There's just such a body to it
01:18:58Honestly, guys, you're both incredible
01:19:00I mean, great job
01:19:03Yeah
01:19:03I don't know which way I'd leave
01:19:05Thank you so much, Kelly
01:19:06I know
01:19:07Thank you so much
01:19:08I know
01:19:08Yes
01:19:09I'm just mad at myself for pairing them now
01:19:11First of all
01:19:12The swag that's going on right now with these fits
01:19:15Yeah
01:19:15The fellas look good
01:19:16They look good
01:19:17You guys were great
01:19:18KJ, you were a big surprise to me
01:19:20I didn't turn for you in the blinds
01:19:22But you've since then made me a believer
01:19:24But Mike, when you create a moment that makes us all go, oh my god
01:19:27Which was that big run down that you did
01:19:29It was the most memorable for me moment of the entire thing
01:19:32So I think maybe I would lean towards Mike
01:19:34But it will be a very, very tough choice for you
01:19:36Okay, I will lean towards KJ to even it out
01:19:38Cause I like both
01:19:39Oh my god
01:19:40Thank you coaches
01:19:41Oh my goodness
01:19:43All right, Johnny got the final decision
01:19:44Give us some thoughts on it first
01:19:45This is hard
01:19:47Because you guys both are just phenomenal singers
01:19:51Your tones are so different from each other
01:19:54Mike, your tone has so much air around it
01:19:57And it's so like round and beautiful
01:20:00And then I love that vibe of your tone, KJ
01:20:03Like it's really dope
01:20:04Like some of the best R&B and soul singers have that
01:20:07And grew up on Stevie Wonder and tried to sound like him
01:20:09And like that's the kind of tone you have
01:20:12And I love it
01:20:13Both of you are just phenomenally talented
01:20:14And it was just a really great performance
01:20:17And I'm really proud of both of you
01:20:18And I'm excited for both of you
01:20:22Johnny got a difficult decision
01:20:23But the time has come
01:20:25Who is the winner of this battle?
01:20:28The winner of this battle
01:20:34Is KJ
01:20:37KJ, congratulations
01:20:38He's moving on to the knockout
01:20:40KJ and Mike make me so proud
01:20:42You know, I chose KJ as the winner
01:20:43KJ is such a real singer
01:20:45Like he has so much range and flexibility in his voice
01:20:48He killed it
01:20:48Well done
01:20:49I really do enjoy his tone
01:20:51It reminds me of some of the singers I grew up listening to
01:20:53I'm excited to see what KJ will do next
01:20:55I wish I could steal
01:20:57It comes in reminding that Mike's available to Steele
01:20:58Mike, anything you want to say to John?
01:21:02Man, I'm so grateful to be here
01:21:03I thank you for turning your chair around for me
01:21:06I can truly say, you know, it's a dream come true for sure
01:21:09Whoa, hold everything
01:21:11We got a steal
01:21:14It's a steal for Mike Steele
01:21:16Adam uses his one and only steal for Mike
01:21:20Adam, talk to us
01:21:21Man, I really did think he was going to pick you
01:21:23And when he didn't, I was so shook
01:21:25I was like, that means like I could have him on my team
01:21:28Like, I was so surprised
01:21:30There's a tone in your voice that I love
01:21:33So man, welcome to my team
01:21:35Yeah
01:21:36Go meet your new coach, Mike
01:21:38Congratulations
01:21:39Adam Levine steals Mike from John
01:21:42I'm a Mike fan
01:21:43I turned for Mike in the Blind
01:21:45I thought Mike won that one
01:21:46So it was really kind of easy to try and steal him
01:21:48Mike adds definitely a facet that I do not have
01:21:51Which is a really strong male vocalist
01:21:53In the kind of R&B vein
01:21:56And I'm just really happy he's on my song
01:21:58Man, that was a good one
01:22:00I was surprised
01:22:01What do you want with Mike?
01:22:02What I want to learn from you
01:22:03Everything
01:22:03He wants to learn everything
01:22:07Yo, we're going to have fun, man
01:22:08I missed you the first time, but I got you the second time
01:22:10Most definitely
01:22:11Yeah, man
01:22:12Yes, sir, let's go
01:22:13Alright, man
01:22:13See you soon
01:22:17Oh, man, that's crazy
01:22:19That's crazy
01:22:21That's it
01:22:22Friends
01:22:22That's the last battle
01:22:23Did y'all enjoy yourselves?
01:22:25Good music

01:22:40I'm super excited for knockouts
01:22:41Let's go
01:22:42I think the knockouts are going to be so competitive
01:22:45Oh my God
01:22:47Look, I'm excited to work with my whole team
01:22:49Because I didn't get to work with them in the battles
01:22:51Dude
01:22:52I love my mega mentor
01:22:54And we have some twists and turns coming our way
01:22:58CeeLo Green
01:23:02CeeLo's a wizard
01:23:03A wizard
01:23:04He's a wild man
