00:00:31Hey, Blues fans, Benji Madden, my surprise little mentor situation.
00:00:35Adam is oftentimes my advisor.
00:00:38What is he talking about?
00:00:38We carpooled here.
00:00:40I know it's cute.
00:00:41Make sure you make a pee-pee before we leave, Benji.
00:00:43Coming, Mark.
00:00:44Oh, nice.
00:00:45It's battle time, and that means it's time for me to bring in the big guns.
00:00:50Money long.
00:00:51Money long is here, y'all.
00:00:52You always wonder, like, what people are looking for when they say that it factor.
00:00:56Like, what is that?
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, at your voice family, it is me, Jay Hudge.
00:01:06Kelly, I 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 up 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's my spirit, and I don't even know I threw it.
00:01:26There it 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, because 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.
00:01:46So 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.
00:01:54She had 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 Madden's 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 to meet you.
00:02:13Jared, it's Benji.
00:02:15Jared, good to meet you.
00:02:16So to get his guidance and to meet him is awesome.
00:02:20We're excited about this pairing.
00:02:22I 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.
00:02:28We're just going to have some rock energy today.
00:02:30You guys are pretty badass together.
00:02:31You look the part.
00:02:32We look good.
00:02:33We're ready.
00:02:34So this song 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 times.
00:02:41Have you ever heard him sing it on a voicemail, though?
00:02:43Because 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, it's country, it's rock and roll.
00:02:51It's a lot of little 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.
00:03:06I know it means a lot to him, so there's always that little nervousness, I guess, to perform a song
00:03:13that means a lot to my coach.
00:03:14But this is the kind of music that I love as an artist, so I'm just really happy we got
00:03:18it.
00:03:19Let's do it.
00:03:19All right.
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, I need you today.
00:03:38Drew has kind of a cool lane, because I don't hear 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, I need you.
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.
00:04:02It's good to push yourself.
00:04:03I think he sounds really cool in his upper register, too.
00:04:07That was beautiful, guys.
00:04:09A couple stars.
00:04:09You 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.
00:04:26So 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.
00:04:35Yeah, because it's such a classic and such an all-time great song.
00:04:38I 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.
00:04:46To 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.
00:04:55My husband and I got married in 2022, and we are very opposite in a lot of ways.
00:05:01I'm leather and lace.
00:05:02I don't know.
00:05:03Sometimes I'm leather.
00:05:03Sometimes I'm lace.
00:05:05Ben, 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, that's not something that a lot of
00:05:17people get,
00:05:18and 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 the 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.
00:05:44I was going to say.
00:05:45For each other.
00:05:45Wait, hold up, Adam.
00:05:46I was going to say, when we sing it together, you both do make each other feel even more
00:05:52special, you 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
00:06:07to 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.
00:06:27I 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.
00:06:45Every weekend, I'm in a different town.
00:06:47So being gone a lot, it's very difficult.
00:06:49But 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.
00:08:16Is love so fragile and my heart so hollow?
00:08:23A shadow of the world's impossible to follow.
00:08:28Yeah.
00:08:29You're saying I'm fragile, try not to be.
00:08:34I search only for something I can't see.
00:08:39Yay.
00:08:40Nice.
00:08:41Still I carry this feeling when you walked into my house.
00:08:48That I won't be walking out the door.
00:08:54Lovers forever, face to face, my city or mountain, stay with me, stay.
00:09:06I need you to love me.
00:09:08I need you today.
00:09:12Give to me your love.
00:09:14Take from me my place.
00:09:19You in the moonlight, with your sleepy eyes, did you ever love a man like me?
00:09:29Woo.
00:09:30Woo.
00:09:32Woo.
00:09:33And you were right when I walked into your house.
00:09:38I knew I was never going to leave.
00:09:43But that time I saw you, I knew with you the light of my night, oh, somehow I get by.
00:09:54Nice.
00:09:56Yeah.
00:09:56Lovers forever, face to face, my city or mountain, stay with me, stay.
00:10:08I need you to love me, I need you today.
00:10:14I love his voice.
00:10:15Give to me your love.
00:10:17Take from me my place.
00:10:21Take from me my place.
00:10:27Sing, boy.
00:10:28Take from me my place.
00:10:35I don't know if that was damn good.
00:10:37So good.
00:10:40Yeah.
00:10:41Yeah.
00:10:43That was so cool.
00:10:44First of all, not to be superficial, though, you guys would make a hot couple.
00:10:48I don't know what your dating status is.
00:10:50Honestly, after hearing you, I think you should be a duo.
00:10:53You sound great together.
00:10:53You look good together.
00:10:54Let's think about it.
00:10:55Drew's married.
00:10:56Drew's married.
00:10:57Never mind.
00:10:57Never 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, that 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.
00:11:17I 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.
00:11:27So well done, Adam, for that.
00:11:29It was the perfect song for both of you.
00:11:32How John was talking about your ache that would break in your voice, Drew, but also the vibrato.
00:11:38It was perfect.
00:11:39And Jared, you open your mouth, and it's like, I feel like I'm at your concert.
00:11:44I actually think the both of you compliment each other, and you actually make each other better.
00:11:49That's why I said the group thing, and 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.
00:12:04Like, I sang this song with Stevie Nicks to my wife at our wedding.
00:12:07You know what I mean?
00:12:07What?
00:12:08Like, I did.
00:12:09That happened.
00:12:09It really happened.
00:12:10I think it really happened.
00:12:11I pinched myself sometimes.
00:12:13So it made it even harder, I think, for you guys.
00:12:15Because I was going to go and be uber-critical of it, and in the rehearsals, to be completely honest,
00:12:20the promise was there, and the vibe was there, but 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, and it really did.
00:12:30It was so beautiful.
00:12:31Thank you guys for really doing it right.
00:12:34Beautiful.
00:12:35Drew, like, there were moments where it was so Stevie-esque, and she is obviously one of the greatest ever
00:12:42to do it.
00:12:43And Jared, Don Henley's a beast.
00:12:45It's really, really rangy for a male vocalist, and you crushed it.
00:12:49You guys really stepped up, and you're both just incredible.
00:12:52Great job.
00:12:53Great job.
00:12:54Adam, congrats on a great battle, but the time has come.
00:12:58Who 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 is Jared.
00:13:13Jared, moving on to the knockouts for Team Adam.
00:13:15Congratulations.
00:13:16I've got a duo in mind for you.
00:13:19Excellent job, brother.
00:13:21Amazing, dude.
00:13:22Jared can win this thing.
00:13:23Like, there's something about him.
00:13:25Like, he's special.
00:13:26I can't wait to get into it with Jared.
00:13:28I think we're going to have a lot of taste in common, believe it or not.
00:13:30And I think that's going to be really, really fun.
00:13:32Drew, 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, Jared as a partner was also incredible.
00:13:41And I couldn't be more thankful.
00:13:43So thank you for everything.
00:13:44You were awesome.
00:13:45Give it up one more time for Drew Russell, everybody.
00:13:48I wish I could have taken you both.
00:13:50You guys were so great.
00:13:51It was really, really special.
00:13:53That was so good, Drew.
00:13:55It was beautiful.
00:13:55Just think about it.
00:13:56Russell and Shoemaker, I guess I'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.
00:14:03I wish you could just be, like, pairing.
00:14:06And you could, like, pair people together.
00:14:08They really sounded great together.
00:14:10They would brush it together in comfort.
00:14:12I know.
00:14:13They would.
00:14:14Man, Team Adam is stronger than I remember in the blinds.
00:14:17I just was like, that was amazing.
00:14:19They looked and sounded great together.
00:14:20Yeah.
00:14:21Yeah.
00:14:21We have people that keep surprising us, so that's fun.
00:14:24Coming up.
00:14:25Just go home.
00:14:27Incredible performances.
00:14:36Difficult decisions.
00:14:38You 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 battles.
00:14:55Just have gifts of that.
00:15:05Welcome back to The Voice, Battle of Champions.
00:15:11Hi, Carson.
00:15:14Carson Daly.
00:15:19Carson Daly.
00:15:25Carson Daly.
00:15:26Carson Daly.
00:15:27All decisions are final.
00:15:29Not excited.
00:15:30Oh, no, you can't steal somebody now.
00:15:31No.
00:15:32It's just you.
00:15:33Thanks for the pressure.
00:15:36Oh, my people are going next.
00:15:38It's Houston and Tia.
00:15:39And they're both so good, but they're both very different.
00:15:42Really don't know which one I'm going to pick.
00:15:44Oh, I'm going to go.
00:15:47It's The Voice, Battle of Champions, and it feels like a battle of champions right now.
00:15:51Father, help me.
00:15:52Anxiety before I go out is just starting to get to me a little.
00:15:54Um, could I have a moment?
00:15:56I just need to.
00:15:58I want to take a minute, please.
00:16:00Yeah, because I don't want to cry.
00:16:01All right.
00:16:06Breathe.
00:16:07Mm-hmm.
00:16:07Breathe in.
00:16:08This song is very challenging for me, and I just want to be able to perform it the way I
00:16:11know that I can.
00:16:12I'm ready to go sing my tush off, that's for sure.
00:16:14This is a different genre than what I normally sing.
00:16:18I want to show Kelly my versatility.
00:16:22Entering now from Team Kelly, Houston Kelly.
00:16:28Versus Tia Durant.
00:16:31To win this battle, I'm going to put everything I've got out on the line, and I'm going to hope
00:16:34that's enough.
00:16:35You ready, girl?
00:16:36Opportunities like this don't come very often.
00:16:38Losing is not an option.
00:16:41Someone let them miss it out.
00:16:49When it was announced that we were going to be battling each other, I was initially thinking, like, what are
00:16:53they thinking?
00:16:54Me too.
00:16:54And I don't know.
00:16:56I wonder if something like that would work.
00:17:01Clyde, is he so full?
00:17:03He said he'd sing gospel, did he not?
00:17:04Clyde Houston leans heavily towards Chris Stapleton.
00:17:09Oh.
00:17:09Oh.
00:17:10There you go.
00:17:10Listen, she can sing anything.
00:17:12Yeah.
00:17:13This is meant to be then.
00:17:14Okay.
00:17:14I'm going to put Houston and Tia together.
00:17:16I think this mix between country and soul, I 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.
00:17:26Sontry or something.
00:17:27Soul and Cuts.
00:17:28Something we'll come up with it.
00:17:30I think I am ready.
00:17:33It's me, Jennifer.
00:17:35I came to see about you.
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, it was definitely a surreal moment.
00:17:45Not only is she an incredible singer, she is an incredible actress.
00:17:50She is doing things that I am inspired to do.
00:17:54Unfortunately, Kelly couldn't be here today, so she asked me to step in.
00:17:58I hear y'all got a gospel background, both of you.
00:18:01Yes, ma'am.
00:18:01So my dad, he was a gospel singer, and when he was in college, he toured with a little group,
00:18:06and they would go to local churches and sing around, and then he was in a quartet when I was
00:18:09a kid.
00:18:10I love to write, and I love to be creative in that way, and I think that came from my
00:18:13dad.
00:18:14He put it in you.
00:18:14I love that.
00:18:15Absolutely.
00:18:16Now 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, so faith, faith, faith.
00:18:22Yes.
00:18:23My grandfather used to sing, and of course, he pushed me up there to do it.
00:18:26So definitely, I got a lot of my confidence in church and my, yeah, go ahead, baby, you got it,
00:18:32type of thing.
00:18:32That's all right, baby.
00:18:33Go ahead on.
00:18:34Definitely.
00:18:35I love that.
00:18:35I see Miss Kelly put y'all together for that reason, and she also picked a Chris Stapleton song for
00:18:41you guys
00:18:42because it has a blend of country, blues, soul, gospel.
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 is 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 word will call.
00:19:11Tia has a pop soul vibe with a touch of gospel.
00:19:15Baby, you can go, or you can stay.
00:19:22Houston has this huge country gritty voice.
00:19:26But I won't love you either way.
00:19:30It's just, it works.
00:19:34I won't love you either way.
00:19:38Holy smokes.
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.
00:19:56Tell the story.
00:19:58Thank you so much.
00:19:59Because it's so powerful.
00:20:01I would love to hear your testimony in what you're singing.
00:20:05And then hearing your testimony in what you're singing.
00:20:08Where you're going through what you're going through, but 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.
00:20:25And there is power in vulnerability.
00:20:27What's the very end?
00:20:28On stage, we definitely want to give it some dramatic.
00:20:31So I suggested the turn away.
00:20:34Right.
00:20:34Like the, I won't love you either way.
00:20:37So how you physically did that?
00:20:39Okay, now put it in the vocal.
00:20:41You're contemplating.
00:20:42So let it be a thought.
00:20:43You see what I'm saying?
00:20:44You over here, when you do separate, that's what I mean by put it in the lyrics.
00:20:48So it's like, what do I want either way that's taking them on that journey?
00:20:51Where you're figuring it out like, either way.
00:20:55So it doesn't have to be collective.
00:20:56It doesn't have to be that at the end.
00:20:58Because that's you contemplating your journey.
00:21:00I don't want to go either way, either way.
00:21:08It's like a conversational, emotional ending.
00:21:11Yeah, I like it.
00:21:13Whatever you feel, put it out there.
00:21:15Your granddaddy, your daddy taught y'all well.
00:21:19Okay, they're going to be proud.
00:21:21I'm proud.
00:21:22So Kelly's going to be real proud.
00:21:23Did I throw enough shoes?
00:21:25Yeah, you did.
00:21:25Y'all got some more?
00:21:27Tia and Houston?
00:21:29How is Kelly going to pick between the two of them?
00:21:32I'm so glad I'm not Kelly.
00:21:34This is going to be tough.
00:21:36Just keep in mind, it's a competition.
00:21:39Sound wonderful together.
00:21:40But this is called The Voice.
00:21:43Not voices, The Voice.
00:21:45Now my heart's beating fast.
00:21:46You won't talk about nervous.
00:21:48I got put up against the referee.
00:21:50Come on now.
00:21:50What I do know is the coaches better get their shoes and their tissues ready.
00:21:56That's what I know.
00:21:57Thank you so much.
00:21:58Yes.
00:21:59Yes.
00:22:00That one pretty solid.
00:22:02Who would you pick as the winner of this battle?
00:22:05Get The Voice app now and play along.
00:22:16Welcome back to night two of The Battles.
00:22:21Oh, yes.
00:22:24Ding, y'all.
00:22:26This battle starts now.
00:22:28All right.
00:22:36We pass in the hall
00:22:39On our way to every race
00:22:43The only time we ever talk
00:22:46Is when the monthly bills are due
00:22:49We go to work, we go to church
00:22:54We fade the perfect line
00:22:57Sing, girl.
00:23:02I pass the point of give a dance
00:23:08And all my tears will cry
00:23:15We can just go home like this
00:23:23And say the words
00:23:25We'll call it quit
00:23:30Baby you can go
00:23:34Or you can stay
00:23:37Wow
00:23:40But I won't love you either way
00:23:44Beautiful
00:23:47Yeah
00:23:50I used to cry and stay up nights
00:23:55And wonder what we're on
00:24:03Thanks, Thea
00:24:07It's been hard but hard to know
00:24:10We can only do that for so long
00:24:14For so long
00:24:18For so long
00:24:19We can't just go home like this
00:24:25Say the word, we'll call it quits
00:24:32Baby you can go
00:24:35Or you can stay
00:24:40I won't love you either way
00:24:46Oh, no, no
00:24:48No, no, no
00:24:52Either way
00:24:53Baby you can go
00:24:58You're doing good performances today
00:25:00It's a good day
00:25:01It's a good day
00:25:03Oh, man
00:25:06You're amazing
00:25:07You're amazing
00:25:08Phenomenal
00:25:09Thank God
00:25:10Yeah
00:25:12Man, that was crazy
00:25:14You guys did great
00:25:15Thank you
00:25:16Tia, I turned for you
00:25:17I lost
00:25:20Houston, I didn't turn for you
00:25:22But I gotta tell you
00:25:23I was really, really blown away
00:25:24You were a major revelation, Houston
00:25:25For me today
00:25:26That rasp in your voice
00:25:27In your upper register
00:25:28Especially when you're singing
00:25:29Chris Stapleton
00:25:29Who is like the master of that
00:25:31Right?
00:25:31You really fulfilled a tall order
00:25:33In being able to stay with that
00:25:35And do those big, gutty
00:25:37High 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're both great
00:25:46I'm not trying to choose favorites
00:25:47Oh, no, I need help
00:25:47Well, y'all made it hard for her
00:25:50So congratulations for making it hard for her
00:25:52Houston, I was very impressed with you
00:25:54That higher part of your voice
00:25:55Just really crackled
00:25:57In a really beautiful way
00:25:58But I will say
00:25:59I would choose Tia
00:26:00In this battle
00:26:01Not to contradict my friend over there
00:26:04But I just feel like
00:26:05The tone was perfect
00:26:07I loved your runs
00:26:08They were just so tastefully done
00:26:10Interesting and subtle
00:26:12Your tone was just liquid gold
00:26:14I just wanted to listen to you sing all day
00:26:17Like, I couldn't see her going home after that
00:26:19Thank you so much
00:26:21Thank you, coaches
00:26:22Thank you
00:26:23Wow, Kelly, I can see the anguish on your face already
00:26:27Battle 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
00:26:36At rehearsals
00:26:37You know, Jennifer
00:26:38I do remember her telling me
00:26:39She threw her shoe
00:26:40In y'all's rehearsal
00:26:41She was like
00:26:42She was
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
00:27:00Melodically
00:27:00I think is very interesting
00:27:02And not many singers do
00:27:03Thank you
00:27:04And Houston
00:27:04Your 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
00:27:13Was really special
00:27:14And I think just as powerful
00:27:15Oh, man
00:27:18I am, like, shaking
00:27:20Okay
00:27:20Kelly, tough one for you
00:27:22I honestly don't know
00:27:23I hate this right now
00:27:27Oh, my God
00:27:28Somebody's stalling
00:27:29And you both
00:27:30I know
00:27:31You both chose different people
00:27:32Yeah, we didn't help
00:27:33Kelly, who is the winner of this battle?
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 so much
00:27:42I know, I know, I know, I know
00:27:43This is so hard
00:27:44This is so hard
00:27:45This is so hard
00:27:53Welcome back to the battles
00:27:56Oh, okay
00:28:00The winner of this battle
00:28:04Is Houston
00:28:06Houston
00:28:07Houston
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
00:28:17In the battles
00:28:18That he's got even more
00:28:19In his arsenal
00:28:20That I did not know about
00:28:21I'm excited to work with you
00:28:22I'm sweating
00:28:23Houston may have some more shoes
00:28:24Throwing 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
00:28:39In the very beginning
00:28:40I feel like he won that
00:28:41I'm really looking forward
00:28:42To work under Kelly
00:28:43I know I didn't get to work with her
00:28:44This first time
00:28:45So I'm really excited
00:28:45To get her expertise
00:28:47And her insight
00:28:48Got Team Kelly
00:28:49Going to the knockouts
00:28:50Thank y'all so much
00:28:52I love the song
00:28:53You have a Spanish song coming up
00:28:55Oh, my sharia more
00:28:57Oh, yeah
00:28:57My sharia more
00:29:00Mi querido amor
00:29:04Having fun?
00:29:05I'm having a great time, man
00:29:06It's like we've just been doing this together
00:29:08For 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
00:29:19For battles
00:29:20I got the best singing partner
00:29:22Y'all gave her
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
00:29:29That I got to focus
00:29:30A 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, his baritone voice
00:29:37Is so rich
00:29:38He's very delicate
00:29:39At the same time
00:29:39He does everything well
00:29:41You know, he just makes me
00:29:42Want to step my game up
00:29:43Even more
00:29:43It's going to be amazing
00:29:44Amazing, 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
00:29:53Jeremy would be
00:29:54Maybe a good person
00:29:55And the song
00:29:56Helps me decide
00:29:57Oh, my God
00:29:59It's Benji
00:30:00Benji Madden, ladies and gentlemen
00:30:02Benji Madden
00:30:02Legend
00:30:03Benji
00:30:04This is Benji Madden right here
00:30:06Like, I was not expecting that
00:30:07Huge fan
00:30:08Huge fan
00:30:09Seeing Benji
00:30:10Was my childhood
00:30:12All over again
00:30:13MTV
00:30:14There was no way
00:30:15You could avoid
00:30:16Good Charlotte
00:30:16I love this song
00:30:17It's beautiful
00:30:18And the fact that we can sing it
00:30:19In English and Spanish
00:30:20I know, I love that
00:30:20Is it 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
00:30:26My Shory Amore by Stevie Wonder
00:30:27Big shoes to fill
00:30:28As Stevie is literally
00:30:29The baddest singer of all time
00:30:31It's nice when a song comes around
00:30:32And like, makes sense
00:30:33For two people on my team
00:30:34Right
00:30:35It also is great
00:30:36Because 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
00:30:41In Spanish for a minute, so
00:30:43Jeremy, do you speak Spanish?
00:30:45A little bit
00:30:46I'm not like fluent
00:30:47But
00:30:47A poquito
00:30:48A poquito, yeah
00:30:49Okay
00:30:50I love it
00:30:51Let's sing
00:30:52My shory amor
00:30:56Pretty little one that I adore
00:30:59Jeremy, you can just tell
00:31:01That he's put the hours
00:31:03And hours and hours
00:31:03And hours in
00:31:04Really rich tone
00:31:05Yeah
00:31:06Sweet, soulful
00:31:07But deep
00:31:08That's a big voice to take on
00:31:19Aziz's voice
00:31:20I kind of felt like
00:31:21There was like a little bit of like
00:31:22Old school crooner kind of vibe
00:31:25Aziz is like the Latin Josh Groban
00:31:26Yeah
00:31:27That's a great comp
00:31:28Right?
00:31:29Yeah
00:31:29If he leans into that
00:31:31Then 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
00:31:49Every 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
00:31:55Try 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
00:32:02To be a support system
00:32:03Being a backup singer is a really tough gig
00:32:06Definitely
00:32:07You're there
00:32:08You'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
00:32:19Make it a strength
00:32:20Outside of the voice
00:32:22I 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've also been a background vocalist
00:32:31Pretty 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
00:32:39I 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
00:32:49You know what I'm saying?
00:32:49Okay
00:32:50A 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
00:32:57I'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
00:33:24But yes I don't disagree with you
00:33:26Jeremy is definitely in the lead
00:33:29But there's been so many times someone's been in the lead
00:33:31Yeah
00:33:31And all of a sudden you just don't know
00:33:45Welcome back
00:33:51This battle starts now
00:33:58My sharia more
00:34:02Lovely as a summer day
00:34:06All right

00:34:30How I wish that you were mine
00:34:55My sharia more

00:36:28la, la, la, la, la, la, 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?
00:36:53I get it.
00:36:54Well, that was beautiful, guys.
00:36:55Both of you sounded magnificent.
00:36:57He said, if I were to choose, I would pick Jeremy, as much as it breaks my heart that
00:37:02he's even on your team.
00:37:09Just have GIFs of that.
00:37:12All of my GIFs online are from The Voice.
00:37:15Same.
00:37:16Same.
00:37:17I think that you both did a really great job.
00:37:20I loved your runs equally.
00:37:21I thought they were very different.
00:37:23Obviously, you have very different voices.
00:37:24Azeed, your voice, especially when you hold it out on those big soaring notes, that vibrato
00:37:29that comes into play, it's beautiful.
00:37:31Thank you so much, Kelly.
00:37:32And then, Jeremy, every time you just started a phrase, it was like, oh!
00:37:37I 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.
00:38:00Yeah.
00:38:02Adam, 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, a move on to the back out for Team Adam.
00:38:19Congratulations.
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.
00:38:33Luna's on Duolingo.
00:38:35Oh, you're on Duolingo?
00:38:36Nice.
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, Lu?
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 to 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.
00:39:28Oh, my God, they're doing Walk On By.
00:39:31They sound really good on it.
00:39:32I love that song.
00:39:33The country girl sounds amazing on it.
00:39:35Our team is so lucky to have Money Long.
00:39:38I'm so grateful to be here.
00:39:40I'm super excited to share my knowledge with this next generation of artists
00:39:44and be a trailblazer and chop down the trees and make the path,
00:39:47so that it's not as tough for people that come behind me.
00:39:51So let's talk about these artists.
00:39:53We've got Kendra versus Natasha.
00:39:56We are partnering together for battle.
00:40:00She can moonwalk.
00:40:01She's got to do this in the performance.
00:40:03How do you do that?
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'm putting on a rope.
00:40:13They are so different.
00:40:15And 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.
00:41:07Yeah.
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.
00:41:14It 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.
00:41:26Walk on by.
00:41:28Kendra is so raspy and like gritty.
00:41:30She kind of gives me a little Amy Winehouse vibe.
00:41:33It just kind of sounds like vinyl, cracky.
00:41:35Smokey.
00:41:35She just sings the melody in a way that is so full.
00:41:41Kendra, I like how you broke up the walk on by.
00:41:45When 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.
00:41:58I'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?
00:42:21John 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.
00:42:58Great, Jack.
00:42:59Let the battle begin.
00:43:07If you see me walking down the street and I start to cry each time with me, walk on
00:43:17back.
00:43:18Yeah.
00:43:21Walk on back.
00:43:23Walk on back.
00:43:24Make me leave that you don't see the tears.
00:43:29Just let me breathe and cry because each time I see you, I break down and cry.
00:43:40Walk on back.
00:43:41Don't miss my walk on back.
00:43:54I just can't get over losing you and so if I see
00:44:15It's all that I have loved so let me hide this feeling inside and I tell you when you say
00:44:24goodbye
00:44:27Walk on by
00:44:30Don't stop
00:44:30Walk on by
00:44:33Walk on by
00:44:34Don't stop
00:44:38Oh, don't stop
00:44:40Oh, won't you walk on by
00:44:45Oh, why don't you walk on by
00:44:50Hey
00:44:52Walk on by
00:44:56Oh, walk on by
00:45:00Foolish pride
00:45:02That'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
00:45:20Walk on by
00:45:25Walk on by
00:45:29Walk on by
00:45:55Walk on by
00:45:59Walk on by
00:45:59Kendra you are ready to release the firecrackers like that little rasp in your voice
00:46:05There is a level of feistiness
00:46:07Thank you so much
00:46:08And it's not like you just have more of a smoothness to your voice and an ease to it
00:46:12I 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 like I hear
00:46:27that edge in her voice and then Natasha you're very smooth very sultry well done both of you
00:46:35John who is the winner of this battle
00:46:40The winner of this battle is Natasha
00:46:45Natasha congratulations
00:46:47Kendra and Natasha they both sounded great and I just slightly preferred Natasha's approach
00:46:53Well done
00:46:54I love the subtleties in her voice it has this smoothness that I really appreciate
00:47:00Thank you so much
00:47:01Well done
00:47:02I'm so excited for the knockouts because that's when they choose their own song again
00:47:07We really get to start to round out our image of these artists and what their taste is and what
00:47:12style they want to sing
00:47:13So I'm really excited to see Natasha
00:47:23Welcome back to the battles
00:47:25Hi
00:47:26Hi
00:47:27I'm Jennifer
00:47:28Oh my god
00:47:29Kelly called me and she said can you come see about my fabulous team
00:47:33Woo
00:47:33You are in great hands
00:47:35Yes
00:47:35Because I was once a coach on The Voice
00:47:39Oh yeah
00:47:39She's beautiful
00:47:40Am I cute?
00:47:41Oh my god you're great
00:47:41Am I doing okay?
00:47:42Yeah yeah
00:47:42Kelly told me you can really sing
00:47:45We gotta make her proud
00:47:46Yeah
00:47:46All right
00:47:47I'll go take away Chacha
00:47:49A kiss, a touch
00:47:51Aaron and Jonah
00:47:53They're singing the first time from Damiano Davids
00:47:55Kelly picked this song because it's relatively new
00:47:58And 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
00:48:06You have rock and the stage world
00:48:09The first time we met
00:48:12Which is an interesting mashup
00:48:13But they both have range that does not end
00:48:16Which makes it, oof, a competition
00:48:19The first time we met
00:48:23I ain't got no shoes so I had to throw the paper
00:48:25I love that
00:48:27Jonah
00:48:27Yeah
00:48:28It's so captivating to watch
00:48:30Thank you
00:48:30You see the story as you're singing it
00:48:32And you're creating that picture
00:48:34Thank you
00:48:34I know Kelly wanted to hear you venture off into like rock
00:48:38Yeah
00:48:38You know outside of classical or opera
00:48:40Would you say that is a challenge for you?
00:48:42Oh 1,000% yeah
00:48:43Because my first song was more like a Italian poppera
00:48:47Andrea Bertelli style song
00:48:48Just sing
00:48:49Okay
00:48:49Don't think about it
00:48:51As my grandmama would say
00:48:52Staying flatfoot and sing
00:48:53Because you have the gift naturally
00:48:55I miss Kelly but
00:48:56Oh my god
00:48:57J-Hud is my happy place
00:48:59She was saying to me
00:49:01I'm okay
00:49:01I can trust myself
00:49:02I had three to four jobs
00:49:04I've been singing at weddings
00:49:05Funerals
00:49:06Sounds a little grim
00:49:07But everything that I've been doing
00:49:09Has been leading up to this moment
00:49:10And as beautiful as a voice as Aaron's
00:49:13Is 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
00:49:19All you gotta do is know the song
00:49:20Let it just be the wind beneath your wings
00:49:22Okay?
00:49:23Yeah
00:49:23Because you wanna perform it
00:49:25Become it
00:49:26And you want the people to feel like
00:49:28I could do anything
00:49:28Yeah
00:49:29Oh my god
00:49:30You know?
00:49:31But somewhere in there Aaron
00:49:32You need to find a way to get yourself a good little note
00:49:35It's gonna take it to another level
00:49:37This is a competition
00:49:38You gotta let him know baby
00:49:40I am still here
00:49:40There's a magnetism about Jennifer Hudson
00:49:42And she reminded me
00:49:44This is a competition
00:49:45I've performed in all 50 states
00:49:47And all throughout the world
00:49:48If I lose the battle
00:49:49I'll definitely be disappointed
00:49:50Jonah's an amazing performer
00:49:52He has a great voice
00:49:53And there really isn't anyone else like him in this competition
00:49:56Time to step it up a little bit
00:49:57Be you
00:49:58Both of you
00:49:59To the fullest
00:50:00Cause what?
00:50:01That's what got you here
00:50:02Amen
00:50:03Aaron and Jonah
00:50:04It is going to be a true battle for Kelly
00:50:07And I'm glad
00:50:08I'm not Kelly
00:50:09Okay?
00:50:10Let the competition begin
00:50:14Battling now from Team Kelly
00:50:15Aaron LaVigne
00:50:18Versus
00:50:19Jonah Mayer
00:50:25This battle starts now
00:50:34I thought my heart had felt it all
00:50:43I swam for miles across the ocean
00:50:47Never been really sure
00:50:49My eyes were closed
00:50:53My eyes were low
00:50:57Just getting drunk
00:51:00On pills and forces
00:51:02Craving something more
00:51:04Traveled the world
00:51:07But it got me nowhere
00:51:09Nothing could ever compare
00:51:12A kiss
00:51:14A touch
00:51:15A summoning cry
00:51:16And all the drugs
00:51:17I've done it
00:51:18That couldn't get me higher
00:51:20Than 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
00:51:29Oh baby I was flying
00:51:31And I talked to God
00:51:33He couldn't get me higher
00:51:35Than the first time we met
00:51:38There's nothing like the first time
00:51:41The first time we met
00:51:47The first time we met
00:51:48You set the room on fire
00:51:51You take the angels higher
00:51:54You take the angels higher
00:51:55I heard a thousand choirs
00:51:58Oh baby you ain't seen nothing yet
00:52:02I traveled the world and got me nowhere
00:52:05Nothing could ever compare
00:52:08A kiss, a touch, a 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
00:52:23I pressed my car, oh baby I was flying
00:52:27And I talked to God that could get me higher
00:52:31Than the first time we met
00:52:34There's nothing like the first time
00:52:36The first time we met
00:52:43The first time we met
00:52:51The first time we met
00:52:59Yeah!
00:53:02Good day, everybody.
00:53:03All right, fellas!
00:53:04Hello!
00:53:05It was great, the energy was amazing.
00:53:07Honestly, like a lot of this game of singing is performance.
00:53:10If you can't kind of go for it, then you won't be able to succeed in this business.
00:53:14But I also think that there's this weird balance you have to strike between having that energy that I know
00:53:19you guys had
00:53:20And also containing it enough to maintain control of your instrument. And that sounds so lame, but what I was
00:53:28thinking the whole time was like, I wish we could like get our breathing under control right now so I
00:53:32could hear some more that you guys have to offer because you guys are both really powerful singers.
00:53:35Yeah, I think both of you when you hit those big glorious high notes, that's what I love. I just
00:53:41feel like Jonah's opera angle, we could explore his strengths in the competition.
00:54:16Thank you, coaches!
00:54:18I'm gonna have to go on what I think will stand out a little more in the end. So the
00:54:24winner of this battle is Jonah.
00:54:27Jonah, congratulations!
00:54:28You both are very talented, but there is something very special to me about Jonah. I feel like he had
00:54:33a little bit more edge than Aaron.
00:54:35Jonah's special. I like his energy.
00:54:37I'm so excited! Woo!
00:54:41That's Jonah.
00:54:42I think that's Jonah, yeah.
00:54:43That's Jonah.
00:54:44That's not.
00:54:45Told you he's a firecracker.
00:54:55Welcome back.
00:54:57I don't know about you, I'm feeling kind of nervous. Like, just with these doors right now, I'm like, okay,
00:55:00so it's real, got it?
00:55:01Yeah, I wasn't really feeling nervous. Now, I'm like, this is it.
00:55:04I'm feeling a little bit.
00:55:06Yeah.
00:55:07So, I want to introduce you to Ashley and Syd. Ashley did a kind of country pop, country rock vibe.
00:55:13There's pictures of you and I on the walls around me.
00:55:19You heard your tone, the way you jump between different parts of your voice, and the fact that you're doing
00:55:24all that at the age of 18 is just so impressive.
00:55:27And then Syd is like a whaler. She sang, uh, Jessie J, which is not easy.
00:55:33Well, there is something going down. Like the storm in the sky.
00:55:41Did you just win the voice?
00:55:42Is the voice over?
00:55:44My team is full. I'm so angry.
00:55:47I literally have one spot left on my team. You were sent from heaven, Syd, to fill that final spot,
00:55:53and you can win this competition. So, we'll see. I'm excited.
00:56:00Yeah, let's get them in here. Let's go.
00:56:02Ashley and Syd, you know, I felt like they would both give me a powerful, big pop diva performance, and
00:56:09I gave them the mother of all pop diva performances with a really classic Mariah Carey song called Love Takes
00:56:16Time.
00:56:16This song is a doozy. I can't wait to hear what you do with it. Definitely.
00:56:22This is the voice. I want y'all to come out here and flex on them.
00:56:26I don't wanna be here.
00:56:29Mariah has that belty chest voice. She's got a deep lower register as well. And I think both Syd and
00:56:36Ashley have those things.
00:56:38I love when Ashley's doing the attitude, and Syd, it's like her tone just hits you in the face.
00:56:46I mean, every time they sang together, I kept getting chills.
00:56:49Mm-hmm.
00:56:50All right!
00:56:51This is amazing.
00:56:52It's really good.
00:56:53It's like, you're super passionate. You have attitude. Like, I love when you, like, do it. Yeah.
00:56:59When you do that super long high note, just take it back a little just to let the lead, because
00:57:04she's really doing the lead at that point, so it's not too clashing, you know?
00:57:08Yeah. It feels very humbling to learn from people with such out-of-this-world talent. I'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. It's so fun. It's like, I don't even go to
00:57:25work, which is so cool.
00:57:27The voice is a really big step for me, just so people can see me as an artist.
00:57:33Writing this battle would prove to myself that you're here for a reason, and you just gotta keep going.
00:57:39Ashley, my main advice would be just thinking about how you transition between your head voice and your chest voice,
00:57:45because it felt a little bit disjointed. And maybe just decide, stay in my chest voice, because it'll be easier
00:57:50to keep it smooth.
00:57:51Sure. Thank you.
00:57:52Can we do?
00:57:53I don't wanna be there. I don't wanna be there.
00:57:57Unison with the harmony at the end.
00:57:58So, sit first. I don't wanna be there. I don't wanna be there. And then together.
00:58:05I don't wanna be there.
00:58:09Oh, yes. That'd be tasty.
00:58:10Taking Love Takes Time and really trying to make it my own is kind of hard.
00:58:15It's a riot carry. You can't get any harder than that.
00:58:19But I wanna show John with this performance. I am very versatile, and I can go into a different genre,
00:58:25but still be myself.
00:58:26Now it's just all about getting it into your body and feeling it. Like, you practice it so much, it's
00:58:32second nature, you know?
00:58:33Y'all got some pipes, honey.
00:58:36Love it.
00:58:37I'm having a hard time thinking who you gonna pick.
00:58:42I just wanna see who goes out there and shows the world that they need to be in the next
00:58:47round.
00:58:48This song is demanding. It requires a lot of natural ability and skill. And you just wanna see somebody that
00:58:56isn't afraid of this kind of challenge and goes out there and just nails it.
00:59:00Love takes time to hear when you're hurting so much. Couldn't see that I was blind.
00:59:11Love takes time to let you go. I can't escape this pain inside. Cause love takes time.
00:59:24I don't wanna be here. I don't wanna be here alone.
00:59:31Love takes time.
00:59:39Love takes time.
01:00:01Love takes time.
01:00:01And love takes time
01:00:08To hear what you're hurting so much
01:00:11I couldn't say that I was so blind
01:00:16To let you go
01:00:19I can't say that it's time
01:00:23Cause love takes time
01:00:27Cause I don't wanna be there
01:00:32I don't wanna be there
01:00:36I don't wanna be there
01:00:42Alone
01:00:58I saw the 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
01:01:13It'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 have chosen me anyway
01:01:25At least you have an excuse, I was in it and I still lost
01:01:28Thank you coaches
01:01:30Alright John, 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
01:01:40When you have this powerful instrument
01:01:41Part 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
01:01:49It takes time
01:01:51And Syd, it is that interesting combination
01:01:55Of going to the heights of what you're able to do
01:01:57With your voice
01:01:59But not sounding shrill
01:02:00It's a remarkable, like, rare thing that you have
01:02:03Thank you so much
01:02:04John, who is the winner of this battle?
01:02:08The winner of this battle
01:02:11Is Syd
01:02:13Say Syd, congratulations
01:02:16You are moving on to the knockouts for Team Legend
01:02:19Ashley and Syd
01:02:20Both of these girls are really talented
01:02:22But Syd is just such a phenomenal performer
01:02:25She hit some of the highest notes you'll ever hear an artist sing
01:02:28And she does it effortlessly
01:02:30It's really remarkable
01:02:31She belongs in the finale of this show
01:02:33She's really special
01:02:44Welcome back to the battles at Universal Studios Hollywood
01:02:49All right, Abigail
01:02:50All right, thank you
01:02:51Do all that and have fun
01:02:52All right
01:02:53All right, stand by 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
01:03:01And 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
01:03:07And I hope to stay around for some more rounds
01:03:10And learn all that I can from her
01:03:13The Voice is such a huge opportunity for me
01:03:16I'm from a really small town
01:03:17And getting on a stage that can be seen all across America
01:03:20Is something that I am so blessed to experience
01:03:22When I walk on stage
01:03:24I'm going to be thinking about doing my best
01:03:27Being myself and making my family proud
01:03:29I am so excited for this
01:03:31Who will win this Team Kelly battle?
01:03:33Will it be Abigail Oakley or Julia Goldman?
01:03:44Abigail and Julia
01:03:46Hi, ladies
01:03:47Hi
01:03:48Abigail versus Julia
01:03:50The voices are similar in some ways
01:03:52But still different
01:03:53Abigail 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
01:04:03Because it kind of bridges them
01:04:04Can you tell me a little bit about yourselves?
01:04:06Who wants to start?
01:04:08I can go
01:04:09Abigail, you go first
01:04:10Because she said you're a little shy
01:04:11I'm a little shy
01:04:12She told me
01:04:13Yes, I'm a songwriter
01:04:14I live in Nashville
01:04:16I've done music all my life
01:04:18Tell me a little bit about you, Julia
01:04:19I'm 19
01:04:20I'm from North Carolina
01:04:22I sing country music
01:04:23But I love everything
01:04:24Rock, Americana
01:04:25Stevie Nicks is like my idol
01:04:26So I'm really excited to be singing this song
01:04:28Speaking of the song
01:04:29I want to hear you ladies sing it
01:04:31All your life
01:04:32You've never seen a woman
01:04:34Taking back
01:04:36You know what's interesting?
01:04:37Abigail naturally has a yodel in her voice
01:04:40Which normally comes from more country style of singing
01:04:44That Julia does
01:04:45She is like a cat in the dark
01:04:49Which maybe is why they work so well together
01:04:52Would you stay if she promised you
01:04:55Julia, her vibrato is special
01:04:57And then the energy that she exudes
01:05:00When she's singing
01:05:02It's infectious
01:05:03It takes the room
01:05:04Two completely different personalities
01:05:09They're both captivating in their own way
01:05:13Yes, y'all
01:05:15Yes
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
01:05:25Are 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
01:05:36You're like you want to just twirl around
01:05:37Twirl around
01:05:37Yes, ma'am
01:05:38If that's what you feel
01:05:39This is your moment
01:05:40Make sure you're the focal point
01:05:42Allow yourself to be every bit of you
01:05:44Because you're the stars
01:05:46It's y'alls for the taking
01:05:47Both of them have the star power
01:05:50So what this comes down to
01:05:51Is who shines the brightest on the day
01:05:54All your life
01:05:56All your life you've never seen
01:05:57A 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?
01:06:31She 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
01:06:42She 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
01:06:49A woman taken by the wind
01:06:53Would you stay if she promised you heaven
01:06:57Will you ever win?
01:07:01Will you ever win?
01:07:13Will you ever win?
01:07:30Rihanna
01:07:40All right, Abigail, there's this beautiful quality to your voice when you get up there
01:07:46in your upper register. Beautiful transition to falsehood. I just want to hear more, you
01:07:50know, so I would go with Abigail, but Julia, you did a great job.
01:07:53Thank you so much.
01:07:55Abigail, I loved the verse a lot with you. You had a really nice round tone.
01:08:01It just felt really solid and, like, comfortable. And then I felt like that part of the song
01:08:07was weaker for you, Julia, but then when you came in on the higher parts, it felt really
01:08:10good. And the energy you were giving on stage felt right. I'm going to say Julia.
01:08:15Okay.
01:08:16Thank you, coaches.
01:08:19All right, Kelly, give us a few thoughts before you pick a winner.
01:08:21There were moments that both of you, the reason why you're here, you both have something really
01:08:25magical with your tone. You both have something really magical about your voices that are very
01:08:29different. I thought that you did a good job with the song. I do like both of your blinds
01:08:34better. I think that you're both artists that really benefit from space, like in a song of
01:08:39it, not all the things kind of happening at once and fighting against it, especially having to
01:08:44battle someone you've never sung with before, you know?
01:08:47Kelly, who is the winner of this battle?
01:08:54The winner of this battle
01:09:00is Abigail.
01:09:03Abigail! Congratulations! You're on the knockout for Team Kelly!
01:09:07Abigail and Julia are both very talented, but Abigail is a true storyteller. That's the thing
01:09:12that wins me over about her. She has this intensity that is purposeful, but it's intimate, and she has
01:09:18this way of, like, being soft, but also very pointed. I have six incredible artists coming in for the
01:09:24knockouts. My team crushed it, so I'm pretty stoked about today.
01:09:27We love you so much, Kelly!
01:09:29Oh, thank you!
01:09:39Welcome back!
01:09:40KJ and Mike, our last pairing. Gentlemen, y'all, how lucky are we to have Money Long here?
01:09:46Oh, we're blessed. They have Money Long here.
01:09:49Yes! I'm so excited she is going to be giving you guys advice on your battle. We're having a good
01:09:53time today. All right, absolutely. Yeah, last but not least.
01:09:58KJ and Mike, they're both R&B singers. It just felt naturally they would sound great together.
01:10:03What you guys been up to? Man, I've been at home with my babies, with my kids.
01:10:07Yeah, how many babies you got? Just two, just two.
01:10:10Two? How old are they? I have a five-year-old daughter, and my son is seven months.
01:10:21My daughter was really stoked when I got a triple chair turn.
01:10:24Triple turn, baby!
01:10:27And that was validating that I can make it in this industry. But you know it's been kind of hard
01:10:32trying to
01:10:32balance school and being on the show because it's non-stop. But it's so worth it because it will mean
01:10:38more than the world to me to bring home that degree and that trophy for my baby girl and her
01:10:44little brother.
01:10:44Daddy, you're going away, I'm a daddy!
01:10:48I love you.
01:10:49Love you.
01:10:50Mwah!
01:10:52When I'm at home and I'm in my down time, we're doing shows and we gigging and making it happen.
01:10:57I love it.
01:10:59I try to sing every day, all day, and gig as much as I can.
01:11:03I'm real structured. I'm really just adamant about taking this opportunity and put my best foot forward.
01:11:11Making my parents proud is the thing that I live for. They've sacrificed so much. My daddy was in the
01:11:18military.
01:11:19It was a choice made to provide for a family. My dad's background taught me a strong work ethic.
01:11:25I've been the kid, you know, who was super creative but didn't like school. Now that I've found something that
01:11:33I'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, written by the great Neo, performed by
01:11:42the great Mario.
01:11:44This is one of the great classic R&B songs truly of this last 25 years.
01:11:49Both of y'all are really good R&B singers but with really different tones.
01:11:54I felt like this song would be a great song for both of you to sing, so I'm excited to
01:11:58hear you.
01:12:04Mike has all this air around his voice. His 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.
01:12:22You know, he can belt a little bit. It's good.
01:12:28KJ has all of the runs. The scales are crazy.
01:12:34And his ability to pick where to do it and how he can fit so many notes in one little
01:12:40tiny part.
01:12:42And it doesn't sound cluttered. That is very, very skillful ability.
01:12:48Let me love you.
01:12:54Yeah.
01:12:56Man, this is going to be really good.
01:12:59Both of y'all really sound good together.
01:13:01And I like the back and forth.
01:13:03And I like that you guys were more answering each other than trying to harmonize most of the time.
01:13:07That's my new favorite of the day.
01:13:10Neither of you need to try to worry about being better than the other at what you do
01:13:14because 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 because part of how you convince the audience to fall in love
01:13:24with 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'? That'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.
01:13:41When you freestyle singing like the way that we do, the rule is eight notes.
01:13:45Mm.
01:13:45Right?
01:13:46Do re mi fa so latino.
01:13:48Mm-hmm.
01:13:48Don't do more than that.
01:13:49If 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.
01:13:56That's interesting.
01:13:56I'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.
01:14:17I'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, so.
01:14:20Oh, Lord.
01:14:21So don't think of it like you're competing with each other.
01:14:23Right.
01:14:24Just be your best self and somebody will get stolen.
01:14:27I guarantee it.
01:14:28It's going to be dope, y'all.
01:14:29KJ, Mike.
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.
01:14:44It was everything.
01:14:46Everything.
01:14:47So nice to meet you.
01:14:48Best of luck to you all.
01:14:49We wanted to make it hard for our coach to send any one of us home.
01:14:53You think you're 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.
01:15:02And that's when I decide.
01:15:04Because based on rehearsal, I could go either way.
01:15:13Welcome back to The Voice Battle of Champions.
01:15:18It's the last battle.
01:15:20It's been such a fun battle round.
01:15:21I'm excited for the knockouts now.
01:15:24Mario.
01:15:25It's my team coming.
01:15:28This is the guy that wore the suit that you liked.
01:15:32Boy, KJ's going to be good, too.
01:15:33They were both really good.
01:15:35Oh, my God.
01:15:36Mario?
01:15:36I haven't heard this song in a long time.
01:15:37It'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.

01:15:59Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:16:02Baby, I just don't get it.
01:16:04Do you enjoy being hurt?
01:16:07I know you smell the perfume, the makeup on dessert.
01:16:12You don't believe your stories.
01:16:14You know that there are lies.
01:16:17As bad as you are, stick around.
01:16:20And I just don't know why.
01:16:21Cause if I was your man.
01:16:23Baby, you.

01:18:16Kelly!
01:18:17Good job, girl.
01:18:18Kelly!
01:18:22Yeah!
01:18:24Yeah!
01:18:26Yeah!
01:18:27Wow!
01:18:29That was really good!
01:18:31Yeah!
01:18:31You are so screwed!
01:18:33I know, I know, I know, I know
01:18:35I mean, that was incredible!
01:18:36That was so, so good and tasteful!
01:18:39The whole time I was like, tennis!
01:18:40I was like, oh damn!
01:18:42And then I'd be like, oh damn!
01:18:43Going back and forth and especially, oh my god, Mike, this one run you just did towards
01:18:47the end that went all the way down!
01:18:49It went down low!
01:18:49It was like, oh!
01:18:51It was so good!
01:18:52I loved it!
01:18:53I thought, KJ, you're a little more like, higher, even when you're doing the high stuff,
01:18:57there's just such a body to it.
01:18:59Honestly, guys, you're both incredible!
01:19:01I mean, great job!
01:19:03Yeah!
01:19:04I don't know which way I'd lead!
01:19:05Thank you so much, Kelly!
01:19:07I know!
01:19:08Thank you so much!
01:19:08I know!
01:19:09Yes!
01:19:09I'm just mad at myself for pairing them now!
01:19:11First of all, the swag that's going on right now with these fits!
01:19:15The fellas look good!
01:19:16They look good!
01:19:17You guys were great!
01:19:18KJ, you were a big surprise to me.
01:19:20I didn't turn for you in the blinds.
01:19:22But you've, since then, made me a believer.
01:19:24But Mike, when you create a moment that makes us all go, oh my god, which was that big rundown
01:19:29that you did, it was the most memorable, for me, moment of the entire thing.
01:19:33So I think maybe I would lean towards Mike, but it will be a very, very tough choice for you.
01:19:36Okay, I will lean towards KJ to even it out, because I like both.
01:19:39Oh my god!
01:19:40Thank you, coaches!
01:19:42Oh my goodness!
01:19:43All right, Johnny got the final decision.
01:19:44Give us some thoughts on it first.
01:19:46This is hard, because you guys both are just phenomenal singers.
01:19:51Your tones are so different from each other.
01:19:55Mike, your tone has so much air around it, and 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.
01:20:07I mean, grew up on Stevie Wonder and tried to sound like him.
01:20:09And, like, that's the kind of tone you have, and I love it.
01:20:13Both of you are just phenomenally talented, and it was just a really great performance.
01:20:17And I'm really proud of both of you.
01:20:19And I'm excited for both of you.
01:20:22Johnny got a difficult decision, but the time has come.
01:20:25Who is the winner of this battle?
01:20:28The winner of this battle is KJ.
01:20:36KJ!
01:20:38Congratulations!
01:20:38You're moving on to the knockout!
01:20:40KJ and Mike make me so proud.
01:20:42You know, I chose KJ as the winner.
01:20:43KJ's such a real singer.
01:20:45Like, he has so much range and flexibility in his voice.
01:20:48You killed it.
01:20:49Well 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!
01:20:57I wish I could steal!
01:20:57Because I'm reminded that Mike's available to Steele.
01:20:59Mike, anything you want to say to John?
01:21:02Man, I'm so grateful to be here.
01:21:04I thank you for turning your chair around for me.
01:21:06I can truly say, you know, it's a dream come true, for sure.
01:21:09Whoa!
01:21:10Hold everything!
01:21:11We got a steal!
01:21:14It's a steal for Mike Steele!
01:21:17Adam uses his one and only Steele 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 can 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!
01:21:40Adam Levine steals Mike from John!
01:21:43I'm a Mike fan.
01:21:44I turned for Mike in the blind, and I 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.
01:21:51This is a really strong male vocalist in the kind of R&B vein,
01:21:56and I'm just really happy he's on my team.
01:21:58Man, that was a good one!
01:22:00I was surprised.
01:22:01What do you want to work, Mike?
01:22:02What I want to learn from you, Adam.
01:22:03Everything. He wants to learn everything.
01:22:07Yo, we're gonna have fun, man.
01:22:08I missed you the first time, but I got you the second time.
01:22:10Most definitely.
01:22:11Yeah, man.
01:22:12Yes, sir. Let's go.
01:22:13All right, man.
01:22:13See you soon.
01:22:17Oh, man, that's crazy.
01:22:19That's crazy.
01:22:21That's it.
01:22:22Friends, that's the last battle.
01:22:24Did y'all enjoy yourselves?
01:22:25Good music.
01:22:28Oh!
01:22:30Yeah!
01:22:32Who needs score?
01:22:38Get ready for this, y'all.
01:22:40I'm super excited for knockouts.
01:22:41Let's go!
01:22:42I think the knockouts are gonna be so competitive.
01:22:45Oh, my God!
01:22:48Look, I'm excited to work with my whole team
01:22:49because I didn't get to work with them in the battles.
01:22:51Dude!
01:22:52I love my mega mentor.
01:22:54And we have some twists and turns coming our way.
01:22:58CeeLo Green!
01:23:02CeeLo's a wizard.
01:23:03A wizard?
01:23:04He's a wild man.
01:23:23for you to turn to win the stars.
01:23:23There, I will expect you again.
01:23:26And wenn's somewhere else,
01:23:26No no no no no no no no no no no no.
01:23:33There, I would wait for you.
01:23:38You never get my take on hand,
01:23:39unless you wishfully use it before you want.
01:23:39Oh, my God.
01:23:43You never get a forgetful day?
01:23:43You just win millions.
