Transcript

00:00:05Hey, buddy. Guess what? We made Team Legend on The Voice!

00:00:10It's the battle round! Woo!

00:00:13Let's go! Let's go! Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!

00:00:17Let's go! Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!

00:00:21Come on and sing it a little louder, sing it a little louder, sing it a little louder!

00:00:27Let's go! Let's go! Let's go! Let's do it!

00:00:35It's the first night of battles. There are no saves, but our coaches have one steal each.

00:00:41That's what I'm talking about!

00:00:43So they've brought in the best to help them out.

00:00:46Action camera, lights, and J-HUD.

00:00:50It is the battle of champions season. Ooh, that sounds intense.

00:00:55In a million seasons I've been on this show, that's the best battle round I've ever heard.

00:00:58Whoa!

00:00:59These are some really tough decisions. Some of my toughest decisions, actually.

00:01:02Who is the winner of this battle?

00:01:04Shut up.

00:01:05And don't forget about the triple turn winner.

00:01:08I'm Drewski, and for the battles, I'm joined by NBA Hall of Famer Reggie Miller.

00:01:12Glad to be courtside with you, Drewski.

00:01:14But what are you doing with your voice?

00:01:16Uh, you know, that's the thing. I always wanted to be a sports broadcaster, so I'm pulling out my analyst

00:01:21voice.

00:01:22Um, maybe don't do that.

00:01:23Okay.

00:01:24Yeah. No, I got you.

00:01:26All season long, the coaches were there to fight and to win the most three-chair turns.

00:01:31Kelly beat out the guys becoming the first ever triple turn champion.

00:01:33She now gets the super steal. You love a good steal, don't you, Reggie?

00:01:36I do.

00:01:37And there's nothing better, and this super steal means that Kelly can steal an artist from another coach.

00:01:43What do you mean?

00:01:43That's the brand new super steal!

00:01:46Or save someone from her own team.

00:01:48If I were the other coaches, I'd be scared of Kelly.

00:01:52I'm not a coach, and I'm scared of Kelly.

00:01:54All right, buckle up, because the battle rounds are going to be insane.

00:02:03It's a hard thing to do in general, because you have to find common ground.

00:02:06Yeah.

00:02:07That's the hardest.

00:02:08Or a song that doesn't feel like it's catering to one artist.

00:02:11A thousand percent.

00:02:12Liv, she did Ariana right, and she slowed it down.

00:02:14I think she has a pretty big voice.

00:02:16Yeah, and I think these two maybe could really be paired with her.

00:02:19Now, with the super steal, can I steal someone of mine?

00:02:22Let's say, like, Blair and JW go together, and they freaking crush it.

00:02:27You can both.

00:02:29Can I steal mine?

00:02:30Yeah.

00:02:30Back?

00:02:30Yeah, the save. You're the only one who gets that.

00:02:34My team is so eclectic, and they're so talented.

00:02:37This is perhaps one of my favorite teams I've ever had.

00:02:40Hey!

00:02:42This is McKinley.

00:02:44This is Liv.

00:02:45And we're partners.

00:02:46Kelly put me with Liv, my little bestie.

00:02:50I am not surprised that Kelly paired us together.

00:02:53We're Kelly's two youngest artists on our team.

00:02:56Can you focus on me?

00:02:58Kelly gave us Focus by her.

00:03:00Neither of us knew our song.

00:03:01We were kind of scared.

00:03:02We were like, oh, focus.

00:03:03We were freaking out a little bit.

00:03:05But we got a little arrangement going.

00:03:07And then together, can you focus on me?

00:03:11Being able to be in battles this season is so amazing,

00:03:14and knowing that last season I didn't get a chair turn.

00:03:17Hopefully come back again, try it again,

00:03:19maybe with a different type of song.

00:03:24When I opened my eyes and saw Kelly and Adam,

00:03:27I started crying.

00:03:28I was just really, really proud of myself.

00:03:29I've lived in Missouri my entire life.

00:03:31Same house, same city, same neighborhood.

00:03:34I was just a regular sophomore in high school

00:03:36with just a really big passion for music.

00:03:39It felt like it was my destiny to get a chair turn.

00:03:44This is kind of a hard battles for me

00:03:46because I will not be at rehearsals with my team.

00:03:50Since Kelly couldn't be here today,

00:03:52she brought me in as advisor and coach.

00:03:56I couldn't think of anybody better

00:03:58to step in than Jennifer Hudson.

00:04:00Jennifer Hudson is so talented.

00:04:03She's an EGOT winner, first of all.

00:04:05They don't just hand those out, y'all.

00:04:07And she's just incredible.

00:04:09Incredible singer, incredible actor.

00:04:11She just kind of covers the gamut.

00:04:13Team Kelly in the house.

00:04:14I worked with Kelly on season 15 of The Voice,

00:04:17and that's what she wants.

00:04:18So I think I have a great sense of what she likes.

00:04:21And she also filled me in on her team.

00:04:24So I am well-prepped.

00:04:26Oh, here they come.

00:04:27Oh, hello!

00:04:29Walking in and seeing Jennifer Hudson was super cool.

00:04:32She's so beautiful and super talented.

00:04:35I'm here, so I'm your dream girl.

00:04:36You're in good hands.

00:04:38Yay!

00:04:39This is my old stomping grounds.

00:04:40What am I about to do?

00:04:41I used to throw shoes.

00:04:42Anybody catch that?

00:04:43Oh, yeah.

00:04:44Oh, we got it.

00:04:45I feel like Jennifer definitely was the perfect person

00:04:48to fill in for Kelly.

00:04:49This competition is getting more and more serious.

00:04:51It is the battle of champions season.

00:04:55Now, ooh, that sounds intense.

00:04:57Liv and McKinley are like the pop princesses.

00:05:01And I couldn't imagine them doing a better song.

00:05:03I feel like it's a great song for their voices

00:05:06and for what they want to do musically.

00:05:07Both of you ladies sound like you're on the right track

00:05:11and on the right team.

00:05:13Oh, yeah.

00:05:13I know your song is focused by her.

00:05:15Yes.

00:05:16Can I hear you a bit?

00:05:17Of course.

00:05:17Can you focus on me, baby?

00:05:24McKinley, she has a lovely pop sound.

00:05:27On me, baby.

00:05:29But the power of like an R&B singer,

00:05:32which is a great mashup, I think that's her superpower.

00:05:36Baby, can you forget?

00:05:38Liv is a star.

00:05:40She is 16.

00:05:42Lazy and broke.

00:05:44OK.

00:05:45But such an old soul.

00:05:46And she also has a great look as well.

00:05:49So I think she's a well-rounded package.

00:05:52On me.

00:05:55Wow.

00:05:56I love the place it's in,

00:05:58but I feel like they can take it even further.

00:06:01Singing from the place you're coming from

00:06:04is already half the battle.

00:06:06You already have the instruments.

00:06:09Kelly said, hold on, let me check my notes.

00:06:10Hold on, what you say, Kelly?

00:06:12She said, take it to the next level, OK?

00:06:15Mm-hmm.

00:06:15And musically, I feel like it's already there.

00:06:19Yeah.

00:06:19So I would say put it in the interpretation of it.

00:06:23It makes me feel great that Kelly and Jennifer talk,

00:06:26and Kelly shared her opinions.

00:06:27The song is about feeling unseen.

00:06:30So I'm definitely going to be channeling all the emotions

00:06:33that I felt during high school.

00:06:35I didn't have very many friends.

00:06:37I was such a lonely person, and I was constantly in my shell.

00:06:43What helped me get through it is music.

00:06:46My biggest inspiration in my family

00:06:48is definitely my great-grandpa.

00:06:50He played for Dottie West, Conway Twitty, Loretta Lynn,

00:06:54and he unfortunately had to give it all up for his 13 children at home.

00:06:59He had always wanted me to do music.

00:07:01So after he passed, I finally decided

00:07:03that I was going to start putting myself out there.

00:07:06Don't ever look back. Don't ever look back.

00:07:12And now look at where I am.

00:07:13I am so excited to be here.

00:07:15Even in his death, it gave me courage.

00:07:17I feel like you two sing from a similar space.

00:07:20Mm-hmm. Yeah, absolutely.

00:07:21So how do you individualize that?

00:07:22Yeah.

00:07:22You know what I mean?

00:07:23Because it still is a competition.

00:07:25Mm-hmm.

00:07:25So you can show your individuality and your interpretation.

00:07:29Mm-hmm.

00:07:29Yes, you want to sing together,

00:07:32but you want everybody to focus on you.

00:07:34Mm-hmm.

00:07:35Maybe start it off a little softer.

00:07:36Yeah.

00:07:37So you have somewhere to go.

00:07:38Perfect. Yeah.

00:07:39You know, give it a journey.

00:07:40Yeah.

00:07:41Baby, I just want you together.

00:07:46It is tough with this matchup.

00:07:49Oh, my God.

00:07:50That's the tricky part.

00:07:51Who is the true star?

00:07:53Who is the true voice?

00:07:54Who is the true star?

00:07:55That is going to be the part to watch.

00:07:56I'm going to be cheering for you guys all the day, okay?

00:08:00I'm so glad I don't have to make those decisions,

00:08:03and I'm just tipping on through.

00:08:05Kelly, I hope I did all right, but good luck, girl.

00:08:07Good luck.

00:08:11Battling now from Team Kelly.

00:08:13Liz Sierra versus McKinley Brown.

00:08:17I am super stoked.

00:08:18I really hated that I couldn't be there for battle rehearsals,

00:08:21but I got to see the video footage.

00:08:24Jayhan was really cool, man.

00:08:25She left these notes for me and things that she had the team work on,

00:08:28and it was amazing intel.

00:08:30Yeah.

00:08:32Hey, shake.

00:08:33A little handshake.

00:08:34I like it.

00:08:35I like it.

00:08:36Nothing beats live music, so that's what I'm most excited about.

00:08:39The battle starts now.

00:08:49Me, can you focus on me?

00:08:59Baby, can you focus on me?

00:09:04Baby, baby, hands in the soul.

00:09:10Have the faucets running, and I keep looking at you.

00:09:16Stuck on your phone, and you're stuck in your zone.

00:09:20You don't have a clue.

00:09:22I don't want to give up.

00:09:24Baby, I just want you to get up.

00:09:30Lately, I've been a little fed up.

00:09:36Wish you would just focus on me.

00:09:42Can you focus on me?

00:09:47Yeah.

00:09:49Baby, can you focus on me?

00:09:54Me, me, me.

00:09:59Can you focus on?

00:10:01Can you focus?

00:10:02Can you focus on?

00:10:05Baby, can you focus on me?

00:10:10I need to be lazy and broke.

00:10:16I know we didn't get this money, so I guess I can't complain.

00:10:21I feel lonely, but we're alone.

00:10:26That don't cost a thing.

00:10:28I don't want to give up

00:10:31Baby, I just want you to get up

00:10:36Baby, I've been a little fed up

00:10:42Wish you would just focus on me

00:10:48Me

00:10:49Can you focus on me?

00:10:52Can you focus on me?

00:10:54Yeah, baby, can I?

00:11:00Can you focus on me?

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

00:11:13That was good.

00:11:15I love it.

00:11:17Ladies, ladies, ladies.

00:11:18That was so good.

00:11:20Thank you so much.

00:11:22Woo!

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

00:11:26I was getting so excited.

00:11:28That was so incredible.

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

00:11:33It was, ah.

00:11:36Liv, I feel like your range is so impressive.

00:11:38That will give you a lot of advantages as you go forward.

00:11:41But McKinley, your tone was like so sultry.

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

00:11:48I just feel like there's, with that range that she has, a lot of flexibility.

00:11:52Hmm.

00:11:55You guys were so good at playing off of each other.

00:11:59Like, if I'm your coach, that is a dream.

00:12:01That is not something that happens all the time.

00:12:03In my opinion, in a million seasons I've been on this show, that's the best battle round I've ever heard.

00:12:07Whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:12:11Thank you so much.

00:12:12I'm not kidding.

00:12:12All right.

00:12:12Thank you, coaches.

00:12:14What a decision, Kelly Clarkson.

00:12:16Oh, my goodness.

00:12:16All right, Kelly, you got a tough decision.

00:12:18Give us some thoughts on the battle first.

00:12:19I'm going to give you thoughts on rehearsals, because obviously I wasn't able to be there,

00:12:23and Jay had stepped in for me, and she's a big fan of both of you.

00:12:26I know her one note was, y'all blend so well, but sometimes it was hard to hear the individuality,

00:12:31and I think that you both nailed that today.

00:12:34Thanks.

00:12:35It was the most respectful choices that both of you made equally.

00:12:39Kelly, you elevated each other instead of competing.

00:12:42Kelly, the time has come.

00:12:45Who is the winner of this battle?

00:12:46This is going to be really hard, you guys.

00:12:48I am really bummed about having to pick one of you over the other right now.

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

00:13:00Ah.

00:13:03The...

00:13:06Oh.

00:13:16Welcome back to night one of the battles.

00:13:20Ah.

00:13:23The...

00:13:23Oh, my God, you're both teenagers too.

00:13:25This is insane.

00:13:27Um...

00:13:27Aw.

00:13:29Um...

00:13:33The winner of this battle is McKinley.

00:13:38McKinley, congratulations!

00:13:39You're moving on to the knockout!

00:13:41Liv and McKinley right off the bat, that was the first rehearsal I got to watch.

00:13:45And then there's the first performance I got to see.

00:13:47They were incredible.

00:13:48Good job, McKinley!

00:13:50McKinley has such a beautiful lower register tone.

00:13:55And then you get surprised because then she does this angelic head voice.

00:14:00Oh, good job.

00:14:01I'm just excited to see what she wants to do in the knockouts.

00:14:05I want her to do something and show us something a little even different about her,

00:14:07to really stand out.

00:14:09Coach, let me remind you that Liv's available to steal.

00:14:11Whoa!

00:14:12Immediately!

00:14:13We got a steal!

00:14:14Times two!

00:14:16John Legend!

00:14:18And Adam Levine!

00:14:19Congratulations!

00:14:20Thank you!

00:14:21Oh my God!

00:14:22We're not going to let you go home after that.

00:14:25John, you might have hit yours first.

00:14:26Just talk to us about what you heard from Liv in that Battle.

00:14:28Hey, take it easy.

00:14:29We were planning it together.

00:14:30I had mine possibly first.

00:14:31Who knows?

00:14:32Oh.

00:14:32But I was the only one that recommended that Kelly pick you.

00:14:36I just want to be clear about that.

00:14:38Ah!

00:14:38You know what's so crazy is as I look at my notes, John.

00:14:41Oh.

00:14:42I noticed that only two chairs.

00:14:46Two chairs turned around for Liv.

00:14:48Perhaps.

00:14:48Perhaps that's the case.

00:14:50That was a good callback.

00:14:50Okay.

00:14:51But I recommended that Kelly pick Liv in this battle.

00:14:55And Liv, I feel like that should mean you picked Team Legend.

00:14:59I recommend that you don't do that.

00:15:03What do you mean?

00:15:05Oh no!

00:15:06Oh my God.

00:15:08There it is!

00:15:09Kelly Clarkson unleashes the brand new Super Steal!

00:15:17What is this?

00:15:20The music's over now.

00:15:21Look at me.

00:15:22Oh my God.

00:15:22I had to use my Super Steal on Liv.

00:15:24Liv reminds me of a young Mariah when Mariah, like, first hit the scene.

00:15:29I'm never letting you go with my team.

00:15:31Oh my God!

00:15:31You crushed it.

00:15:32At 16 years old, to be able to just float like that with all that range and confidence as a

00:15:38performer, it's really rare.

00:15:40I knew it!

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

00:15:43You made us wait.

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

00:15:46I'd be like, no.

00:15:49Whatever.

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

00:15:51It's the battle of the champions, man.

00:15:53I'm ready to go.

00:15:54Give it up for Liv, everybody!

00:15:56Kelly is her only Super Steal in me.

00:15:58I can't believe it.

00:15:59I'm numb.

00:16:00She sees something in me and that just gives me so much confidence.

00:16:03Let's go to the knockouts.

00:16:05Flawless execution of the Super Steal.

00:16:06The first ever Super Steal.

00:16:09Liv and McKinley had the best battle round in the history of the show.

00:16:12So, yeah.

00:16:13I'm gonna steal someone.

00:16:15That was crazy.

00:16:16They were great.

00:16:17But then I realized that I can't steal them because the Super Steal.

00:16:22That was insane, right?

00:16:24It was so great.

00:16:24I mean, honestly, that was the best battle round I've ever seen.

00:16:26She got to use it on this, but she only gets to use it once.

00:16:29So, I'll recover from this.

00:16:32She's so dope.

00:16:32I love her.

00:16:33Yeah.

00:16:33I love her.

00:16:35Wow.

00:16:36Talk about drama.

00:16:38Kelly is cold-blooded.

00:16:40She let John and Adam hit their buttons, chop it up, feel safe,

00:16:43and then she swoops in and destroys the competition.

00:16:45Let's take a look at the shot clock.

00:16:47She waited 53 seconds to execute that maneuver.

00:16:51What do you mean?

00:16:52Man, I can't even sit still for 53 seconds.

00:16:54That's patience right there.

00:16:55We've got to get a replay of her opponent's reaction here.

00:16:58What is this?

00:16:59That's the look of two dudes who didn't stand a chance right there.

00:17:02That's how you use a Super Steal.

00:17:04Now that the advantage is gone, for the rest of the battles, it's anyone's game.

00:17:07I can't wait to see how these teams come together.

00:17:14We have to do pairs, so check this out.

00:17:17You're just coming in here, and you're like, bam, I know what's up.

00:17:20Yeah.

00:17:21Okay, good.

00:17:22This is my first rodeo.

00:17:24Yeah.

00:17:25I have 10 amazing artists, and Battle Royals are our first glimpse into who they are beyond the blinds.

00:17:30I mean, if I'm being honest, it should be more like that.

00:17:34Yeah.

00:17:35Bay and Hunter.

00:17:36I did not want to pair Bay and Hunter together.

00:17:39I don't know.

00:17:40It's just really hard.

00:17:41But sadly, I had no choice, because it just made too much sense.

00:17:45Bay influenced Tom Petty, Neil Young, Paul McCartney.

00:17:49Hunter's straight-up country.

00:17:51Luke Bryan, Rascal Flatts.

00:17:52They're both in that kind of country.

00:17:54Rock.

00:17:55Rock and roll.

00:17:56They'll do something great.

00:17:56You want to put people together who you feel like will actually have a really great moment together, and therefore

00:18:01thrive moving forward.

00:18:03This should be good.

00:18:03I'm excited.

00:18:04Yeah.

00:18:05Jinx.

00:18:06Hunter and I were friends before the blinds.

00:18:09So awkward.

00:18:11So it's a comfortable pairing.

00:18:13I'm a little bit nervous going against you.

00:18:15I'm nervous about it, too, because I know you're good, so.

00:18:17To be a step further into season 29, The Voice, Battle of Champions, it doesn't feel real.

00:18:24If I fall, can you let me down easy?

00:18:30I never thought that I would get a triple chair turn.

00:18:33Hunter!

00:18:34And through the whole shebang, I was telling myself I wanted Kelly.

00:18:37Today is the day.

00:18:38Today is the day.

00:18:39Today is the day.

00:18:40You know what today is?

00:18:41Do you know what today is?

00:18:42You're going to break the mold.

00:18:44Resist the urge to go with the status quo, my friend.

00:18:47I think I'm going to blaze a path with Adam.

00:18:49Let's go!

00:18:49This competition is about taking those risks that you never thought that you would take.

00:18:53I feel like I can also bring other genres and styles to the table that I feel like he can

00:18:57really thrive with.

00:18:58It's a little intimidating going up against a triple chair turn artist.

00:19:02You know, he definitely has a leg up because I barely got a chair turn.

00:19:09It was very late when Adam turned around.

00:19:12I thought I was going home.

00:19:20It feels amazing to be at Battles.

00:19:22This is my chance to prove that I'm versatile.

00:19:27Benji Madden.

00:19:28Adam Levine.

00:19:29Slow clap, Benji Madden everybody.

00:19:31My advisor is Benji Madden of Good Charlotte.

00:19:40He is not just a member of Good Charlotte but so savvy in the industry as well.

00:19:45Talk a little bit more about his looks.

00:19:47Super handsome, super charming.

00:19:49What about athletic ability?

00:19:51He was the coach of The Voice in Australia.

00:19:54Me and my brother had a double chair.

00:19:56They're like, who are we going to bring in?

00:19:57And I'm like, Benji, obviously.

00:19:59Well, I am in your favorites on your phone.

00:20:01So that was the first name that came up.

00:20:02We're like really actually homies.

00:20:04It's not just on TV.

00:20:05When I was younger, I made a lot of mistakes.

00:20:07Now I try to be the guy that I wish I met.

00:20:10There's something really healing about that.

00:20:11You know, when you can help guide somebody.

00:20:13My team is super lucky.

00:20:15Lucky is here.

00:20:17I have great singers this season.

00:20:19It's going to be great.

00:20:19I can't wait to hear them.

00:20:20Yes.

00:20:20Coming up first is Bae and Hunter.

00:20:22Here they come.

00:20:24These are two cool dudes right here.

00:20:26Two cool dudes.

00:20:28What?

00:20:28Let's go.

00:20:29Actually, three cool dudes.

00:20:31Great names.

00:20:32And one not that cool dude.

00:20:33To walk in and see Adam and to see Benji.

00:20:36I'm just blown away.

00:20:38I'm Bae.

00:20:38Benji.

00:20:39Good to meet you.

00:20:39Good to meet you guys.

00:20:40Two guys from such legendary bands.

00:20:43You know Benji.

00:20:43Good to meet you.

00:20:44Absolutely.

00:20:44Good to meet you.

00:20:45Being a band guy myself.

00:20:47You know, those are the people that I want to be working with.

00:20:49It's just a dream come true.

00:20:51Before the blinds, I was working as a songwriter in Nashville and touring with my band.

00:20:58The music business is such a hustle and it's so hard to cut through the noise.

00:21:03I'm related to Elvis Presley.

00:21:05My family is all musicians.

00:21:08Being here on The Voice, it feels like I'm finally adding something significant to my family's legacy.

00:21:14I didn't want to put you guys together at first.

00:21:18Who are your favorite fighters?

00:21:19Yeah.

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

00:21:24Because like this career, you've got to step up and hit the ball in so many different situations.

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

00:21:32A hundred percent.

00:21:33This makes sense.

00:21:34You guys are going to do a Morgan Wallen song.

00:21:36Morgan Wallen is a former Team Atom alum.

00:21:38That's right.

00:21:39Which is crazy.

00:21:40It's crazy.

00:21:41It's like the biggest country star on the planet.

00:21:43The song is I'm the Problem by Morgan Wallen.

00:21:45The voice alum.

00:21:46He was on my team.

00:21:47So it's a family affair today.

00:21:49Big shoes to fill for them.

00:21:50Are we doing it on just acoustics?

00:21:51Just, I love that.

00:21:52Yeah.

00:21:53All right, cool.

00:21:53Let's do it.

00:21:59Hunter's voice is like that great pop country voice.

00:22:03But also you can tell he's got some soul.

00:22:05So I think it'll be interesting to watch him grow.

00:22:12Bae's voice is very like folky.

00:22:16Very rock and roll, you know, sort of classic rock, I'd say.

00:22:21Like 70s kind of vibe.

00:22:23So I thought it was really interesting to hear him sing a Morgan Wallen song.

00:22:32Awesome.

00:22:32Yeah.

00:22:33Man, I love you guys.

00:22:34Yeah.

00:22:34And so different too.

00:22:35Two different flavors.

00:22:36You both have different advantages.

00:22:38In terms of if we're talking about this as a contest.

00:22:40Yeah.

00:22:41You really take the song and kind of make it like as if you were putting a cover out.

00:22:45But at the same time, you have that great country voice.

00:22:48I feel like this is your wheelhouse.

00:22:50But you have to find a way to sort of make it your own too.

00:22:54This is part of the reason why I really wanted to pick your team, Adam,

00:22:56is because I need a little bit of help of trying to find myself as an artist.

00:23:00Like when it comes to cover songs.

00:23:01Sure.

00:23:01You know, with Morgan Wallen as such a mainstream artist, there's a lot of pressure to do it justice.

00:23:05Just be yourself.

00:23:06I think that adopting the original spirit of the song is kind of okay.

00:23:09As long as it doesn't lose any of its authenticity and that's who you are.

00:23:12Because sometimes people go the other way.

00:23:14Yeah.

00:23:14You're like, whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:23:15You're overthinking it.

00:23:16Yeah, exactly.

00:23:17Yeah.

00:23:17This is exactly why I love Adam.

00:23:19Keep it simple, stupid.

00:23:20He doesn't say that, but that's what I like to live by.

00:23:22I'm always in my own hip and it was exactly what I needed to hear.

00:23:25This experience has just been life changing in every way, shape and form.

00:23:29At home, I'm playing shows for three, four, five people.

00:23:34And I perform a lot of Morgan Wallen songs.

00:23:37It puts tip money in the bucket.

00:23:38So I appreciate Morgan for that.

00:23:40Country is my first love for sure, but I don't want to be held to that box.

00:23:44I have a lot more to show.

00:23:45So I'm going to bring some Hunter to that song too.

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

00:23:51It's like two completely different art forms entirely.

00:23:53And it can be a train wreck.

00:23:55And it can be a real mess.

00:23:56Just stay locked in, honestly, because when you go into those really rhythmic harmonies and stuff,

00:24:01that's the key to this whole thing working.

00:24:02And it got me thinking.

00:24:04They do a great job.

00:24:06Their harmonies are so locked and it's all acoustic guitars and singing and just pure musicianship,

00:24:10which I love.

00:24:11It's just the two of them raw right there singing the song.

00:24:13It was even better than I thought it was going to be.

00:24:15What I'm talking about.

00:24:16It just gets better every time.

00:24:17It's fully engaging and people are going to love it.

00:24:20I think I have like an idea, but I don't know.

00:24:23They're super different.

00:24:27Hey, can you guys help me on this one?

00:24:29Always.

00:24:29I will always help you.

00:24:30I will always tell you.

00:24:31Okay, please.

00:24:32Please.

00:24:33And whatever way I'm leaning, that's what's so shocking about the show.

00:24:35Sometimes you can easily lean the other way at the last minute.

00:24:39Woo!

00:24:42Woo!

00:24:44Battling guitars.

00:24:45I remember Hunter.

00:24:46He's good.

00:24:47He's so cute.

00:24:48Come on, boys.

00:24:51Still to come.

00:24:56Our coaches spend the night on their feet as the battle of champions heats up.

00:25:02I wish I had a steal!

00:25:04Leading to some of the toughest decisions.

00:25:06I quit.

00:25:07In voice history.

00:25:09Decisions, decisions.

00:25:11The winner of this battle.

00:25:14Oh, I'm sweating for you.

00:25:17We got a steal!

00:25:21Go!

00:25:26Go!

00:25:28Go!

00:25:28Welcome back to The Voice, Battle of Champions.

00:25:32Go, fellas.

00:25:34This battle begins right now

00:26:05I guess I'm a problem

00:26:08You're me, it's never do no wrong

00:26:11If I'm so awful

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

00:26:16If it's a whiskey

00:26:18Why you keep on pouring it off the shelf

00:26:22You hate it when you look at me

00:26:25You halfway see yourself

00:26:27And it got me thinking

00:26:30If I'm a problem

00:26:32You might be to read my song

00:26:35Try to go our separate ways

00:26:42We're back and forth like a swinging door

00:26:45And tomorrow's like yesterday

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

00:26:51And you're back with me again

00:26:53And go tell your friends that I'm the problem

00:26:58You're me, it's never do no wrong

00:27:01If I'm so awful

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

00:27:07It got me thinking

00:27:09If I'm a problem

00:27:12You might be the reason

00:27:17Interesting

00:27:19If I'm such a waste of breath

00:27:21Such a waste of time

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

00:27:29If I'm a problem

00:27:33You're me, it's never do no wrong

00:27:35If I'm so awful

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

00:27:41If it's whiskey

00:27:43If it's whiskey

00:27:44So why you keep on pouring it off the shelf

00:27:47You hate it when you look at me

00:27:50You halfway see yourself

00:27:52And it got me thinking

00:27:55If I'm a problem

00:27:57You might be the reason

00:28:03If I'm a problem

00:28:05If I'm a problem

00:28:35You might be the reason

00:28:35A dilemma

00:28:37Yup

00:28:39Hunter's voice is so strong

00:28:40And has so much presence

00:28:42And there's a nice shred to it

00:28:44I was like how's bae gonna compete with that

00:28:46But then bae comes on

00:28:48And your voice is like a little weird

00:28:50In a very cool way

00:28:52If weird means sexy and intimate

00:28:54And rock and roll

00:28:56It's so good

00:28:56Hey man, I always tell my kids stay weird

00:28:59And what I'm saying is

00:29:00I loved how different it felt

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

00:29:05It was just really cool

00:29:07I know right

00:29:08And there is the conundrum

00:29:10I know

00:29:10This sucks so bad right now

00:29:12Oh man

00:29:13I'm just gonna say

00:29:14If I were buying a record

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

00:29:19So that's my leaning

00:29:21Thank you John

00:29:22Hunter I knew I was gonna love you

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

00:29:25Like those big country festivals

00:29:26Those big arenas

00:29:28Your voice will pierce through

00:29:29You are a sure thing

00:29:31In my opinion

00:29:32Thank you

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

00:29:34Because I love your voice

00:29:38Like I could see you performing

00:29:39In front of huge crowds too

00:29:41But I see your voice

00:29:42Being able to silence them

00:29:43It is very intimate

00:29:45And rock and roll

00:29:46You two are superstars

00:29:48In different ways for me

00:29:49And I can't even believe

00:29:50I just used that word

00:29:51But I did

00:29:51Superstar

00:29:52Just said it

00:29:52Just said it out loud

00:29:53Hey

00:29:55You're both really really good

00:29:56But I might lean

00:29:58A bit more towards Hunter

00:29:59Thank you Kelly

00:30:01Thank you coaches

00:30:02All right Adam

00:30:03Give us some thoughts

00:30:04Before you tell us

00:30:05Who won the battle please

00:30:05I just wrote a new song

00:30:07It's called

00:30:07This is gonna suck

00:30:10So bad

00:30:11I don't want to do it

00:30:12Is that the background vocals?

00:30:14So bad

00:30:16So bad

00:30:16I quit

00:30:19Bae when I heard

00:30:19Your blind audition

00:30:20I remember being like

00:30:21This kid understands rock and roll

00:30:23And I love the fact

00:30:24These guys see it in you now

00:30:25You have like a tried and true

00:30:27Like authenticity about you

00:30:29That is completely unfiltered

00:30:31And really raw

00:30:32Thank you

00:30:33Even your talking voice is cool

00:30:35Okay

00:30:36He's just cool man

00:30:37The dude's cool

00:30:38You know in Hunter

00:30:39We all knew it from the jump

00:30:41Like when you came out here

00:30:42Everyone was like

00:30:42I remember Hunter

00:30:43That's the man

00:30:44We know he's great

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

00:30:46You know

00:30:47You went with me

00:30:48You took a risk

00:30:49And I appreciate that

00:30:50Bae

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

00:30:52So you had no choice

00:30:53You're stuck with me

00:30:53For better or worse

00:31:06It's literally part of the show

00:31:08And I have to do my job

00:31:28What he's gonna say

00:31:29Oh

00:31:29Oh I know

00:31:30What are you gonna say Adam?

00:31:32What are you gonna do?

00:31:33You warned us

00:31:34That this is gonna be hard

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

00:31:37I'm just kidding

00:31:38Um alright

00:31:40I'm just gonna say a name

00:31:43The winner

00:31:45Of this battle

00:31:51Is Bae

00:31:52Oh

00:31:52Bae you're moving on to the knockout

00:31:55For Team Adam

00:31:56Congratulations

00:31:57Bae and Hunter was really really good

00:31:59And I thought that I was gonna go with Hunter the whole time

00:32:02Thank you brother

00:32:03You really surprised me today man

00:32:05Bae just takes things and does things that make my soul feel good

00:32:09Fantastic

00:32:10You won it

00:32:11I feel amazing

00:32:12I wanted to be the surprise

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

00:32:16Let's go

00:32:18Knockouts

00:32:18Team Adam

00:32:20I didn't know what to do

00:32:21Hunter anything you want to say to your coach?

00:32:24It's been an honor

00:32:24I stand firmly behind my decision in picking you as my coach Adam

00:32:28Thank you

00:32:28I appreciate you all so much

00:32:29Seriously

00:32:29It's definitely bittersweet because Hunter's amazing

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

00:32:35I wish I had a save

00:32:36I do

00:32:37I felt your pain brother

00:32:40You're right

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

00:32:44But Bae was a surprise

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

00:32:48Yeah

00:32:48I love Bae

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

00:32:53That was great

00:32:53That was really good

00:32:54Oh man I felt so horrible for you

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

00:33:05Welcome back to the Battles premiere

00:33:08We have some great advisors this season

00:33:10Yeah

00:33:11I have Benji Madden

00:33:12Oh nice

00:33:12Who I love so much

00:33:14And he's like just the coolest dude

00:33:15Oh that's a vibe

00:33:16Look at that bromance

00:33:17Jennifer stepped in for you

00:33:19Jennifer stepped in for me

00:33:19But I had money long

00:33:20I've known money since she was a teenager

00:33:22Like early writing the business

00:33:24Yeah

00:33:24I've just watched her grow up

00:33:26Oh that feels good to like watch it

00:33:27You know someone that deserves it

00:33:28And has been working for it

00:33:29And to hear like for all these artists on here

00:33:31Like it doesn't happen overnight

00:33:32It doesn't happen overnight

00:33:33Yeah

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

00:33:37You've been a songwriter

00:33:39You've been behind the scenes

00:33:40And now you've really blossomed

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

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

00:33:46Hello band

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

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

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

00:33:55Man

00:33:57That sounds crazy out loud

00:33:59It was supposed to happen

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

00:34:02So hopefully I can pay it forward today

00:34:05I'm really excited

00:34:06This is the first time I actually get to work with my team

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

00:34:11So let's do it

00:34:12Yes

00:34:14So this pairing is AJ

00:34:15Young guy sings country

00:34:17And Lucas is kind of a mix of genres

00:34:20But he played the piano

00:34:21So I felt that connection to him

00:34:23And I got him over Adam

00:34:25Which anytime I went over Adam is nice

00:34:26John actually paired me with Lucas

00:34:29And I've honestly looked at him like an older brother

00:34:32Because I have an older brother who's close to his age

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

00:34:36Okay, that's why

00:34:37Even though he's 14

00:34:38AJ is singing like a seasoned professional

00:34:42Drinking water, mail, and do a child

00:34:44Coming from a small town

00:34:46You know, this is the biggest opportunity I've ever had in my life

00:34:49The show actually premiered when I was only two months old

00:34:52So I've kind of like grown up into the show

00:34:54Not only have I been a huge fan of The Voice

00:34:57But my grandparents have been too

00:34:59They flew out here

00:35:00The day before my audition

00:35:01My papa

00:35:03He actually had a stroke

00:35:05He was in the hospital

00:35:06While I was auditioning

00:35:08It was just amazing to let him know that I made a team

00:35:11And he was so happy

00:35:12I mean, he was crying

00:35:13I really want to do my best for him

00:35:17Hello

00:35:18Hey guys

00:35:19We got a special guest, Miss Money Long

00:35:22How are you?

00:35:23Oh my God

00:35:24Seeing John and Money was just nuts

00:35:27Because she's got some gnarly tunes

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

00:35:30How are you?

00:35:30She is the real deal

00:35:32When she sings live

00:35:33It's like you're listening to her recordings

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

00:35:36It's just raw talent

00:35:38All right, let's hear that duet

00:35:39You know I'd fall apart without

00:35:44AJ came from more of a country perspective

00:35:46Lucas came from more of a pop soul perspective

00:35:48But I felt like I could find a song

00:35:50Where country, pop, and soul kind of intersect

00:35:53So I picked Hunter Haste, Wanted

00:35:55Cause I wanna wrap you up

00:35:58Wanna kiss your lips

00:36:01I love the juxtaposition of their voices

00:36:05Lucas has this, I want to say like

00:36:07It's like soulful and it has some grit to it

00:36:09And like some sauce on it

00:36:11All I ever want

00:36:13Where he does his runs

00:36:15Sometimes you can tell he's feeling himself

00:36:17Like I know I sound good

00:36:18Cause I just wanna wrap

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

00:36:24It's so innocent

00:36:25And just, oh, I just want to pinch his cheek

00:36:27He's so precious

00:36:29I was clean

00:36:31Lovely

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

00:36:34It's very sweet

00:36:35I would love if you just kind of slow down a bit

00:36:38At the end of your phrases

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

00:36:43Okay, yes ma'am

00:36:45Be a little bit more dramatic

00:36:46Lucas, you have some really cool character

00:36:50Like the way you sing in the back of the throat

00:36:52Wanna make you feel warm

00:36:54Like I would lean into that

00:36:57Cause those are the things that make your voice distinct

00:36:59When we hear John sing

00:37:00We know it's him immediately

00:37:01Right?

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

00:37:06That's great feedback

00:37:07I love it

00:37:07Thank you so much

00:37:08Awesome

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

00:37:09I know, right?

00:37:10Yeah

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

00:37:11Yeah

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

00:37:15Be a little gentler

00:37:17Ride you up

00:37:19Wanna kiss your lips

00:37:22Just be chill about it

00:37:24Cause you're gonna rev it up in a little bit

00:37:26Yeah, there's a little bit of acting in there

00:37:28First, it's just a conversation

00:37:29Nothing too crazy

00:37:30Second time now, you didn't believe me the first time

00:37:32So now I was like, what do I gotta do?

00:37:34Yeah

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

00:37:36You know, I didn't mean to

00:37:38I'm sorry

00:37:39That's a great analogy for sure

00:37:40What makes me nervous going up against AJ

00:37:42Is the raw, like, resonance that he has in his voice

00:37:46Which is like perfect for the tune we're doing

00:37:49This song's a challenge for me

00:37:51Because it's really outside of what I usually do

00:37:54Oh dear, she's like a love

00:38:02I ultimately chose John because he's been my hero

00:38:07I love a lot of genres and I love a lot of instruments

00:38:09And so does he

00:38:14Welcome, team legend.

00:38:17So, in addition to being a singer, I also played trombone.

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

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

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

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

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

00:38:36Yeah!

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

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

00:38:43I'm looking forward to this performance. It's going to be exciting.

00:38:45Appreciate you, John.

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

00:38:48It's always tough. Every time.

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

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

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

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

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

00:39:07Get the voice official app now and play along.

00:39:19Welcome back.

00:39:23A.J.'s going next. A.J. and Lucas.

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

00:39:27We'll see. I let it happen in the moment.

00:39:30He's only 14.

00:39:31Two talented singers go head to head from Team Legends.

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

00:39:40A.J. 14, bro.

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

00:39:50He is so cute.

00:39:52Luna and Miles Lava.

00:39:55Let the battle begin.

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:40:39Cause I wanna wrap you up.

00:40:42Wanna kiss your lips.

00:40:45Cause I, I wanna make you feel wanted

00:40:50And I wanna call you mine

00:40:53Wanna hold your hand forever

00:40:57Never let you forget it

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

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

00:41:11I wanna make you feel better

00:41:16Better than your fairy tale

00:41:19Better than your mystery

00:41:22You're more than everything I need

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

00:41:31All I ever wanted

00:41:35Yeah

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

00:41:44Wanna kiss your lips

00:41:47I wanna make you feel wanted

00:41:51And I wanna call you mine

00:41:55Wanna hold your hand forever

00:41:59And never let you forget

00:42:02Yeah

00:42:03Yeah

00:42:04I wanna make you feel wanted

00:42:09Baby I

00:42:11I wanna make you feel

00:42:17Wanted

00:42:19yeah.

00:42:27That's dope.

00:42:28That's dope.

00:42:30Hey guys.

00:42:32I love it.

00:42:34Yay.

00:42:35Oh my goodness.

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

00:42:38AJ, I can't escape how utterly cute you are.

00:42:41You're good.

00:42:42This is true though.

00:42:43You're just so cute in that little cowboy hat

00:42:46and I want to put you in my pocket.

00:42:48You're so cute, you're so cute.

00:42:50Just making it weird, just making it weird.

00:42:52I know, I know.

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

00:42:55For 14 years old.

00:42:57Thank you so much, thank you.

00:42:59Lucas, you got me with that falsetto number.

00:43:04It was so good, but AJ, you are just so freaking cute.

00:43:09He's 14 and he's got a belt buckle

00:43:12almost as big as his head and he's just like,

00:43:15I could not take my eyes off of the little,

00:43:17Howdy Doody, I love you so much.

00:43:21Just give me a second.

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

00:43:27I'm just kidding, I'm just kidding, I'm joking.

00:43:29You know what, you are great and I know you're 14

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

00:43:34I think as the years go by,

00:43:35it's gonna be a really cool thing to watch you grow.

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

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

00:43:41I think that maybe in this moment in time,

00:43:43I would say Lucas is there, he's ready,

00:43:45but you both did really, really great

00:43:47and proud of both of you guys.

00:43:49Thank you. Thank you, coaches.

00:43:50Yes sir, thank you.

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

00:43:54But first, give us some thoughts.

00:43:55You are very cute, AJ, as we've discussed, but-

00:43:59It's obvious.

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

00:44:03Your tone was perfect.

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

00:44:07Lucas, every time you sang, it had texture, it had soul,

00:44:12and that falsetto part was my absolute favorite part.

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

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

00:44:21Appreciate it.

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

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

00:44:30The winner of this battle...

00:44:35is Lucas.

00:44:36Lucas!

00:44:37Congratulations!

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:44:52I love Lucas.

00:44:53I love AJ!

00:44:55Oh, we know!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:45:29I'm very excited.

00:45:31My stomach's churning.

00:45:35Since I was six years old, I made a vision board

00:45:37that my dream was to be on The Boys.

00:45:39Team Adam!

00:45:40Jolly Boy!

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

00:45:44Versus Bichu Belle!

00:45:46I'm ready for this.

00:45:46Let's go!

00:45:47Woo!

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

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

00:46:02Somebody hook me up.

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

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

00:46:08Now we just have steal.

00:46:09So, move me!

00:46:10Make me press my button!

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

00:46:15Bijou?

00:46:16Yeah.

00:46:16Bijou can hang with Jolly.

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

00:46:20Young ones!

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

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

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

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

00:46:32To be coached by freaking animal.

00:46:34I know what's happening.

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

00:46:36Is this real?

00:46:37Die for you by The Weeknd.

00:46:38It does strangely fit.

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

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

00:46:48like that as well.

00:46:51You're gonna make it through this whole thing, you gotta rise to the challenge now,

00:46:54because there's gonna be a lot more where that came from.

00:46:55Baby, I would die for you.

00:46:58Ooh!

00:46:58That was good.

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

00:47:03I would die for you.

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

00:47:10shows athletic singing.

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

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

00:47:17Sounds great.

00:47:19Bijou, you know Florence and the Machine?

00:47:20Yeah.

00:47:21Like I hear a little bit of that.

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

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

00:47:27Okay.

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

00:47:31Adam is definitely pushing me out of my comfort zone.

00:47:33I usually sing rock, indie, pop music on stage with my family or on stage in theater.

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

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

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

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

00:47:50So let's do a half step up, and you know what?

00:47:51It has to be right for both of you guys.

00:47:58They're already kind of leaps and bounds ahead of where they were when they started,

00:48:01which I think is really good.

00:48:04This will be a hard decision on the night because I think they're both gonna show their best.

00:48:09Oh my god.

00:48:10That's better.

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

00:48:12It actually does.

00:48:13It does feel better.

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

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

00:48:21Get out of your head.

00:48:24Yeah.

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

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

00:48:33step into center stage for this performance.

00:48:58Let's go.

00:49:02Let's go.

00:49:03Let's go.

00:49:04Let's go.

00:49:29Let's go.

00:49:31Let's go.

00:49:32Let's go.

00:49:33Let's go.

00:49:34And though we're going through it and it makes you feel alone

00:49:39And I know that I would die for you

00:49:42Yeah, baby, I would die for you

00:49:47The distance and the time between us, it'll never change my mind

00:49:54Cause baby, I would die for you

00:49:56Oh, baby, I would die for you, yeah

00:50:01I would die for you, I would die for you

00:50:05Keep it real with you, I would kill for you, my baby

00:50:22I would die for you

00:50:25Oh, baby, I would die for you

00:50:29The distance and the time between us, it'll never change my mind

00:50:36Cause baby, I would die for you

00:50:39Yeah, baby, I would die for you

00:50:44I would die for you

00:50:50Wow

00:50:54We did it so much

00:50:57Yeah!

00:50:59Viju, I just loved how much connection you had with the song

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

00:51:10Raleigh, I was so impressed with that

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

00:51:15It was funny cause at the end you were like, oh my god

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

00:51:22Thank you coaches!

00:51:24Adam, great battle, what were your thoughts?

00:51:26Man, I'm really proud of you guys

00:51:28I think for me the number one thing is believability

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

00:51:34Cause you both really sang with all your heart out there today

00:51:37The time has come, who is the winner of this battle?

00:51:40The winner of this battle is Jali

00:51:45Jali, congratulations, you're moving on to knockouts

00:51:48Jali's got a killer voice, so soulful, she's really, really talented

00:51:53I feel like Jali's one to watch for in future rounds, I'm really impressed with her

00:51:58I liked her in the blinds, but that was way cooler

00:52:00Oh, she was crazy

00:52:09Welcome back to the battles

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

00:52:17Absolutely

00:52:17To mentor us, so I'm excited to see who it is

00:52:20I think I'm ready

00:52:23Thank you

00:52:23I think I got the hang of this

00:52:26Alright, here we go

00:52:27Oh, I got my shoe in case I need

00:52:32Is that JW and Blair?

00:52:35Hi

00:52:35Come on over

00:52:36Oh my gosh, seeing Jennifer Hudson was absolutely incredible

00:52:40I was super starstruck

00:52:41She's been in musical theater, she's an actress

00:52:44And also Dreamgirls is just one of my favorite movies

00:52:47I love Jun, I do

00:52:49And I love Adam, I do

00:52:51But, I mean, Kelly is the queen

00:52:54Exactly

00:52:54Absolutely

00:52:55And she put two country powerhouses together

00:52:58JW and Blair, they are the old school country mess-up

00:53:03And they're singing Never Again Again by Lee Ann Wormack

00:53:07Tell me about yourselves

00:53:08I'm from southwest Georgia and currently live in Nashville

00:53:12So you're engulfed in country?

00:53:14Oh yeah, my whole life

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

00:53:19The blind audition was a crazy day

00:53:22I kind of had in my head I wanted Kelly from the start

00:53:25Three chairs!

00:53:26I don't know if you know this, but I have been on country radio

00:53:30I want to do my own songwriting

00:53:32And as a coach, she could really help

00:53:34Currently, I try to write every single day

00:53:36It's not full-time

00:53:37I do bread deliveries in the morning

00:53:39Oh, do you got sourdough?

00:53:41Yeah, they do make sourdough

00:53:45My music roots come from my dad

00:53:47He mostly sings in the choir, but he's good at karaoke too

00:53:51My dad's uncle was a really good piano player

00:53:55He played with Waylon Jennings and Johnny Paycheck

00:53:58Back in the 60s and 70s

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

00:54:03Never again, again

00:54:07For them to deliver a traditional country song

00:54:11That, I think, is one of Kelly's favorites as well

00:54:14That's a huge task

00:54:16You'll break my heart, I know

00:54:20Blair's voice, mmm

00:54:21The quality of it is so beautiful

00:54:24It just sits so well in country

00:54:26And just like it's our

00:54:29And then JW, it's like air to him

00:54:32I'm like, is he singing?

00:54:34Because it's coming out so effortlessly

00:54:38Come on!

00:54:40Yes!

00:54:41I like that

00:54:42I was hoping for a shoe

00:54:43You know what?

00:54:45Before the shoe, the hand go up

00:54:47Yeah, okay, we gotta get that first, you know

00:54:49I said, Lord, it's up

00:54:51That ending took me out

00:54:53Oh, awesome

00:54:54That's a compliment

00:54:54You seem a little nervous

00:54:56Just a little

00:54:57But that's passion

00:54:58Yeah

00:54:58That's okay

00:54:59I use every emotion

00:55:00I'm excited, you gonna see it

00:55:02This stage is for you guys to shine

00:55:05You earned the right to be here

00:55:07You may want to hit

00:55:08Throw an extra note up

00:55:09I didn't know that was coming

00:55:11And you may want to respond to it

00:55:12Leave room to surprise yourselves

00:55:14Okay

00:55:14Okay?

00:55:15Now you seem to emote more emotion

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

00:55:20But baby, this is a competition

00:55:21Okay

00:55:21Okay?

00:55:22I'll stop being so nice, I guess

00:55:24Don't be so nice

00:55:24Sorry, move over, little sister

00:55:26All right

00:55:26Boom

00:55:27Get your guitar out of my face

00:55:29I mean

00:55:30How about you?

00:55:31How are you feeling, Blair?

00:55:32When I first heard this song

00:55:33It reminded me when I first started singing

00:55:35Back in Texas

00:55:36Yeah

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

00:55:38Look at them all

00:55:39So it really

00:55:39It really just took me back to that

00:55:41And my like

00:55:42My West Texas roots

00:55:43Leanne Womack actually attended school

00:55:46Right outside of my hometown

00:55:47Lubbock, Texas

00:55:48At South Plains College

00:55:50And a lot of the musicians

00:55:51That I grew up playing with

00:55:52Actually attended the same college

00:55:54Even my coach is a Texan

00:55:56So that's exciting

00:56:01The Blind Audition was a world win for sure

00:56:04I did my yodeling song

00:56:08It really just gave me that validation

00:56:10That what I'm doing is good

00:56:12I feel like I'm living a dream

00:56:14I'm just so happy that she chose

00:56:15A super classic country sounding song

00:56:22It's amazing to witness

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

00:56:25I can see why Kelly put them together

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

00:56:32How are you gonna choose?

00:56:34I don't wanna know

00:56:37That was Worlds Apart better

00:56:40Don't question yourself

00:56:41It felt better

00:56:42Make Kelly proud

00:56:43We will

00:56:44But don't forget

00:56:45Although you're singing together

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

00:56:49Y'all understand that?

00:56:50I got it

00:56:51I'm not ready to go home

00:56:52I have a ton to learn

00:56:54Jennifer Hudson's amazing

00:56:55And you could tell

00:56:57That Kelly had talked her through things

00:57:00I love this next song

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

00:57:03And I don't wanna go home

00:57:04Before I get the chance to do that

00:57:08Blair Elbert

00:57:09Blair Elbert

00:57:11It would definitely be heartbreaking

00:57:12To lose this battle

00:57:14All right

00:57:15Versus J.W. Griffin

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

00:57:22J.W.

00:57:24But it is a competition after all

00:57:26So may the best man win

00:57:28Woo!

00:57:37Welcome back to the battles

00:57:39At Universal Studios Hollywood

00:57:41Oh, I love J.W.

00:57:46Yeah, they're great

00:57:47The battle starts now

00:57:56Never again, again

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

00:58:07I know how the story ends

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

00:58:16Nice!

00:58:19You'll break my heart

00:58:21I know

00:58:24Through my tears

00:58:25I'll watch you go

00:58:28Yeah

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

00:58:34I'll say never again, again

00:58:41Each time you leave

00:58:46I'll say

00:58:47I've had it

00:58:49Yeah!

00:58:52Yeah!

00:58:53But I must be addicted to

00:58:58Your kind of love

00:59:03Well I swear to myself

00:59:08I'm gonna stand by

00:59:11Yeah!

00:59:11Yeah

00:59:11Yeah!

00:59:14But I want to look

00:59:16And you

00:59:18Raise my defenses down

00:59:22and here comes ever again, again

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

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

00:59:39I'll say never again, again

00:59:44Then just like it's always been

00:59:52I'll say never

00:59:55I'll say never

01:00:01Again

01:00:09Again

01:00:15Yeah!

01:00:21So good!

01:00:23That was so good!

01:00:24That was so good!

01:00:25That was so good!

01:00:25That was amazing!

01:00:26Oh my god!

01:00:27Great song!

01:00:28I love that song!

01:00:29Blair I'm gonna start with you!

01:00:31It did not turn for you and that surprises me!

01:00:33Shame on me!

01:00:35Because you're so great!

01:00:36You got real power in your voice and I didn't hear it till now and you were really really

01:00:40wonderful today!

01:00:41Thank you!

01:00:42Thank you!

01:00:43Now only problem Blair is that you went up against my guy J Dub!

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

01:00:50Thank you!

01:00:51One of those all time classic voices and I want to own the records you haven't made yet!

01:00:57I'm a huge fan!

01:00:58Thank you!

01:01:01What a great song choice!

01:01:03Blair, neither of us turned for you but we're having regrets as we were listening to you!

01:01:07Never again would we not turn for you!

01:01:10Chat!

01:01:11But as Adam said J Dub is a very special vocalist and we're jealous that Kelly gets to work with

01:01:19you and won this triple turn she won a few triple turns you know she may even be the champion

01:01:25of

01:01:25triple turns this season but man every note you would sing oh man I love J Dub!

01:01:31Thank you coaches!

01:01:33All right Kelly you got a tough decision here coming up in a minute give us some thoughts

01:01:35on the battle first please!

01:01:36This is one of my favorite songs ever so thank you for just nailing it!

01:01:42And Blair it is not easy to sing Leigh Ann Womack!

01:01:46Yes you have this classic country sound so does Leigh Ann but she has this soulfulness and those

01:01:51really cool runs and you have that I just thought you both blended so well!

01:01:56J-Head said that she felt like y'all were a little nervous that did not show today so I'm

01:02:00glad that she shook that out of y'all because you did not look nervous at all!

01:02:04You also would make a really great duo!

01:02:08Just throwing it out there!

01:02:10I think you both are extremely talented but I have to pick one of you!

01:02:15Kelly the time has come who is the winner of this battle?

01:02:19The winner of this battle

01:02:25is J-W.

01:02:26J-W congratulations!

01:02:28You are moved on to the knockout!

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

01:02:33Oh I love him!

01:02:35He opens his mouth and you are just at attention and he's a storyteller!

01:02:39Great job!

01:02:40Thank you so much!

01:02:40I love From a Hustle by the way!

01:02:43I didn't hear you take it up!

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

01:02:46We added that because I felt like I didn't do enough!

01:02:48I loved it!

01:02:49I loved it!

01:02:49It was really good!

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

01:02:55is what gets you to that winner's circle!

01:02:58I love you J-Dog!

01:03:00I love you too!

01:03:01I knew if we did our best good things were gonna happen on the stage and we both gave our

01:03:05all out there and I'm just obviously I'm happy with the outcome!

01:03:09That was a great song!

01:03:10He just sounds like him!

01:03:11Oh he's a star!

01:03:12I'm a fan!

01:03:21Welcome back!

01:03:24I remember as a young buck auditioning for shows like this!

01:03:29Oh you did?

01:03:30Yes!

01:03:30And I was terrified!

01:03:32It's a cool chance for them to like learn from somebody who's gone through it!

01:03:35All of it helped to make me the artist that I am today!

01:03:39These next singers, they're quite different but I'm really excited for this duet!

01:03:43I paired Adi and Grace because I felt like I could find a way for their styles to meet

01:03:47in the middle!

01:03:48Grace sang Joni Mitchell like she was transported from Woodstock or whatever and Adi came in

01:03:54singing Bruno Mars and his tone is very similar to Bruno Mars!

01:03:57Yeah so I was like pop!

01:03:58To think that I've been singing in church and then now here in front of America, it's just

01:04:04crazy!

01:04:05Music is what I want to do, I have no backup plan, I really just want to show Jon I

01:04:10can be

01:04:10his next winner!

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

01:04:15I was thinking we could do like a more stripped down version of it!

01:04:18Love that!

01:04:18Yeah!

01:04:18That's awesome!

01:04:19Tell me that you've had enough of a life!

01:04:24I think Adi is very like precise!

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

01:04:28How do I deliver?

01:04:29Grace is cool!

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

01:04:32She's young yeah!

01:04:33We can learn to love again!

01:04:36I think she's got a good future ahead of her!

01:04:38Beautiful!

01:04:39You have lovely tones and beautiful voices!

01:04:41Thank you!

01:04:42I would say don't overdo the runs!

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

01:04:47Take out some of the notes!

01:04:48You were going something like that just

01:04:52Okay!

01:04:53Awesome!

01:04:56I love that!

01:04:57Yeah!

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

01:05:00When you're singing softly you gotta eat the mic!

01:05:02Don't be afraid of it!

01:05:03It's there to amplify your voice!

01:05:04You were kind of emphasizing tone so I know you had mentioned you were in an acapella group

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

01:05:11The name of my acapella group is The Men of Last Call

01:05:14It's really forced me to push myself as a musician and push myself as a leader

01:05:18and now almost graduating from Cornell and faced with this weird crossroad of

01:05:22do I pursue the corporate lifestyle that I've kind of set myself up for

01:05:26or do I take this amazing opportunity that I've been given and how do I kind of do both?

01:05:30How did you know when it was time to just fully commit to music?

01:05:33I worked a corporate job for three years out of college and I needed to

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

01:05:40but I just never gave up on music I slept less I just did what I needed to do

01:05:45sometimes you got to burn both ends of the candle and make it happen

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

01:05:53Let's go Adi!

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

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

01:06:02Just give me a reason just a little bit's enough

01:06:07just a second we're not broken just bed and we can learn to love again

01:06:13I never stop it's still written in the scars of my heart

01:06:18You're not broken just bed and we can learn to love again

01:06:24Oh tear ducts and runs I'll fix it for us

01:06:29We're collecting dust but our love's enough

01:06:34You're holding it in and you're pouring it in and you're pouring it in

01:06:53Just a second we're not broken just bed and we can learn to love again

01:07:00It's in the stars it's in the stars it's been written in the scars of our hearts

01:07:05We're not broken just bed and we can learn to love again

01:07:10Just give me a reason just a little bit's enough

01:07:14Just a second we're not broken just bed and we can learn to love again

01:07:28We can learn to love again

01:07:38We can learn to love again

01:07:49We can learn to love again

01:07:51So nice

01:07:55Yes

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

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

01:08:06like it was so beautiful

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

01:08:12You can't go wrong

01:08:15I'm not gonna pick a person

01:08:17I'm sorry Jon

01:08:18You guys really disappoint me a lot.

01:08:20It happens a lot with you guys.

01:08:22He'll figure it out.

01:08:23Thank you, coaches.

01:08:25John, you've got the final decision.

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

01:08:27Adi, I feel like it's always so impressive to me

01:08:29when guys have that kind of range,

01:08:31and you really do have just a beautiful voice,

01:08:33and it does sound effortless.

01:08:34Grace, this was a revelation.

01:08:36We saw power, and you were so compelling on stage.

01:08:40It just felt like you belonged up there.

01:08:42Thank you so much.

01:08:44John, you got a tough decision to make here.

01:08:46Who is the winner of this battle?

01:08:48The winner of this battle is Grace.

01:08:51Grace, congratulations!

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

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

01:08:57felt like she rose to the occasion.

01:08:59Beautiful job.

01:09:00I'm excited to work with Grace in the knockouts.

01:09:02I'm curious to see what she'll do next.

01:09:04I could not stop listening and watching her.

01:09:13Welcome back to The Voice Battle of Champions.

01:09:18We really met at a festival.

01:09:19You guys put out your first record.

01:09:21I loved it.

01:09:21And I was like, I'm gonna go out of my way.

01:09:23I remember seeing you guys and being like,

01:09:25oh, those are good Charlotte guys.

01:09:26They're super cool.

01:09:27Now we're in it.

01:09:28I mean, since we started the dad life.

01:09:30That's when the relationship really congealed.

01:09:33Yeah, real life.

01:09:34Now we got a bunch of dirty diapers.

01:09:35That's right.

01:09:36I was changing diapers last night.

01:09:37Anyway, now that we've talked about duty,

01:09:39let's bring out some singers.

01:09:42Moses and Alexia.

01:09:43All right.

01:09:44Two beasts.

01:09:44Tell me about them.

01:09:45They're so good.

01:09:46Powerhouses, big voices.

01:09:47Okay.

01:09:47I was not surprised that I was gonna be partnered with you.

01:09:51Really?

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

01:09:53Really?

01:09:54Yeah, because our sounds are kind of similar.

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

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

01:10:01And so we're both over thinkers.

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

01:10:05But we vibed really well because he understood me

01:10:08in a way that I don't think anybody else would.

01:10:12How do you feel like we're about to finally do this,

01:10:14everything we've been working for?

01:10:16I'm stressed.

01:10:17I am too.

01:10:18When this is really what you live and breathe,

01:10:20there are no words to describe how much pressure you feel.

01:10:22This is the grandest stage I've ever been on.

01:10:24So to be able to have conquered the blind audition,

01:10:27I already feel like I've mastered another level of artistry.

01:10:31Forever young, young.

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

01:10:36I heard the gospel.

01:10:37I heard rock and roll.

01:10:37I heard it all.

01:10:38Let's go do this.

01:10:39Let's do it.

01:10:40Adam, he incorporates a lot of different genres

01:10:42in his performance style,

01:10:44and that's something that I've always done.

01:10:45I'm ready to show him that he made the right decision

01:10:47and turn it for me.

01:10:54Triple term, baby.

01:10:56My sign is out here watching me.

01:10:58Bring him up here.

01:10:58Come on.

01:10:59Come on, Matthew.

01:11:00Who do you listen to, Matthew?

01:11:02My room five.

01:11:03My room five.

01:11:06After the blinds, y'all, I was like mom of the year.

01:11:13I am from a place where it's super small.

01:11:16Everybody knows each other.

01:11:18We have one grocery store.

01:11:19The voices actually showed me how big life can actually be.

01:11:24Hey.

01:11:27Hey.

01:11:27What's up, ladies and gentlemen?

01:11:29It's absolutely mind blowing.

01:11:31Hey, guys.

01:11:32I want to win this battle because my children,

01:11:34they got to grow up and go into the world and figure it out.

01:11:38And if I could show them something amazing like this,

01:11:41I'm doing something right, you know?

01:11:43Commodore's Night Shift.

01:11:45It's like a song I grew up with.

01:11:46Mm.

01:11:47It's also so fun because it's never been done on the show either.

01:11:50Oh.

01:11:50Which is shocking, right?

01:11:52It's an honor to be singing this.

01:11:53The qualities of your guys' voices together.

01:11:56Oh, we've been having fun.

01:11:57We've been having a lot of fun.

01:11:58Let's hear it.

01:11:59I like seeing you excited, Adam.

01:12:00I'm excited.

01:12:01Gonna be some sweet sounds

01:12:05Coming down on the night shift

01:12:08Immediately when Alexia and Moses started singing together,

01:12:12I couldn't stop smiling.

01:12:13You found another home

01:12:15I know you're not alone

01:12:17Alexia's voice sounds like she's not in a rehearsal

01:12:22for a battle round on the voice.

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

01:12:26You found another home

01:12:29I know you're not alone

01:12:30Moses just has this great, rasp, cool, different tone to his voice.

01:12:35And I love his attitude.

01:12:36I love the reverence that he sings with.

01:12:38I just really like his vibe as a human being.

01:12:40It's cool.

01:12:43Y'all are badasses.

01:12:44I was smiling the whole time.

01:12:46Yeah!

01:12:47I don't smile in public a lot.

01:12:50You know, I only smile at home.

01:12:51That means so much.

01:12:52That means a lot.

01:12:53Already, first take, the whole room, like, lifted.

01:12:55So to keep you on that track,

01:12:57the more you let go of worrying about anything technical

01:13:01and you just have that joy.

01:13:03Just do a little bit.

01:13:04Yeah.

01:13:04Yeah, you can feel it from us.

01:13:06Take it off.

01:13:06It's like, you're Adam.

01:13:08You're Benji.

01:13:09Like, ah!

01:13:10I'm nervous.

01:13:11I feel the same way.

01:13:11We are like losing it right now.

01:13:13We want to jump out of our body for real.

01:13:15Well, that's good. Use that.

01:13:16You got to use that.

01:13:16You got to channel it.

01:13:17There's no mistake you could make that could be worse

01:13:20than letting the fear of making the mistake in the door.

01:13:23Ah.

01:13:23Right?

01:13:24Perfection is a dangerous way to look at things.

01:13:27That's why he's my phone call.

01:13:29My one phone call.

01:13:30Adam said, nobody's perfect.

01:13:33And I don't know why it got me today,

01:13:35but it was like a big weight lifted off my shoulders

01:13:38because I was so nervous.

01:13:42I think this experience is a really big joy for my family

01:13:46because I don't know if anybody besides a couple of my uncles

01:13:50have, like, made it out of Irvington, Alabama.

01:13:53And so for me to actually continue pursuing my career

01:13:58and never giving up, I think they're really proud of me.

01:14:01What would you say to someone that pulls from a lot

01:14:03of different influences and genres

01:14:05but wants to have continuity in how they present themselves?

01:14:07When I was a kid and I started writing songs

01:14:09and then got a record deal and then made an album,

01:14:12all along the way I felt like I was still discovering who I was.

01:14:16That journey never ends.

01:14:18If it's genuine and sincere,

01:14:20I think people will really respond to it.

01:14:21Oof. That's confirmation. Awesome. Thank you.

01:14:24I wasn't expecting half of what he said,

01:14:26and it was so genuine.

01:14:27I was on the verge of tears a couple of times.

01:14:29For me personally, I just have a lot to prove to myself.

01:14:32I had a really bad stint with substance abuse.

01:14:35I was on the verge of quitting music,

01:14:37but I worked on myself.

01:14:38I got better.

01:14:39I healed.

01:14:40So to be sitting in front of Adam

01:14:42and he's affirming me in this way.

01:14:44Oh.

01:14:45Good night.

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

01:14:48It's gonna be in love.

01:14:51Alexia and Moses, super special.

01:14:54Really compliment each other.

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

01:14:56Yeah, yeah.

01:14:58You found enough.

01:14:59This is definitely the hardest decision, I think, of the whole bunch.

01:15:02Mostly because you just love the collaboration.

01:15:05It's like, you don't want it to break up.

01:15:10Yeah, that was fun.

01:15:11Yeah, that was fun.

01:15:13Okay, Moses.

01:15:14That last little run there.

01:15:14What was that about?

01:15:15I don't know. Something happened.

01:15:17Alexia, there's little parts of your runs.

01:15:19I hear a little Lauryn Hill in you.

01:15:20I love a little Lauryn now.

01:15:21Which, I mean, dang.

01:15:23It's really fun to watch you guys get into your confidence.

01:15:27On that one, the energy just went up even another notch.

01:15:29Yeah, it was great.

01:15:30I mean, it keeps getting better.

01:15:31Thank you so much, Adam.

01:15:32And I'm gonna be sad, too, because I put you all together.

01:15:35That's what we said.

01:15:36You're going for the win.

01:15:37You see those two other coaches over there?

01:15:39Legend, Clarkson.

01:15:40Yep.

01:15:40Dead meat.

01:15:42We're coming for you.

01:15:43Yeah, toast.

01:15:53Welcome back to the Battles.

01:15:55Hey.

01:15:56Hey.

01:15:58Hey, George Michael.

01:16:00Let's go.

01:16:02This battle begins right now.

01:16:09He was a friend of mine.

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

01:16:22His heart in every line.

01:16:26Ooh, my name.

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

01:16:35Nice.

01:16:36He opened up our mind.

01:16:40And I still can hear him sing.

01:16:44Ooh.

01:16:45Ah, talk to me.

01:16:47Nice.

01:16:48So you can see what's going on.

01:16:53Hey, yeah.

01:16:55Sing.

01:16:57Sing your song.

01:17:00Forever, ever, evermore.

01:17:03There's going to be some sweet sounds coming down on the night shift.

01:17:11Ooh.

01:17:13I bet you sing and cry.

01:17:16Hey.

01:17:17Oh, I bet you're full of crowd.

01:17:22It's going to be a long night.

01:17:24It's going to be a long night.

01:17:25It's going to be alright on the night shift.

01:17:31You found another home.

01:17:33I know you're not alone.

01:17:36On the night shift.

01:17:38It's going to be some sweet sounds coming down on the night shift.

01:17:45On the night shift.

01:17:48I bet you're singing right.

01:17:49I know you're singing right.

01:17:51Oh, I bet you're full of pride.

01:17:54Oh, yeah.

01:17:55It's going to be a long night.

01:18:00On the night shift.

01:18:04Yeah.

01:18:05You found another home.

01:18:08I know you're not alone.

01:18:10On the night shift.

01:18:13Yeah.

01:18:15You found another home.

01:18:17I know you're not alone.

01:18:19On the night shift.

01:18:23You found another home, I know you're not alone, on the night sheen.

01:18:38Wow!

01:18:40Yes!

01:18:41So great!

01:18:42Yeah!

01:18:44What I'm talking about!

01:18:47Hello, hello, hello!

01:18:48That's what I'm talking about!

01:18:49That was so cool!

01:18:51Alexia, your low part of your voice is so beautiful.

01:18:55Thank you!

01:18:56The little ache on your notes, ma'am.

01:18:58Yes, the rasp in your voice.

01:19:00You just are such a soulful, beautiful vocalist.

01:19:03I'm still very upset you're not on my team.

01:19:05I'm not sad, but...

01:19:07And then Moses, I felt like that was a revelation from you today.

01:19:10Your voice has a vibe and an energy to it, and I felt like your stage presence was very contagious.

01:19:16You just looked like a star up there.

01:19:18You really showed out, sir.

01:19:20Thank you so much, John.

01:19:22Moses, you surprised the hell out of me.

01:19:23That was really, really good, man.

01:19:24You did a great job.

01:19:25Thank you so much.

01:19:26I thought you were good in the blinds, but this is by far my favorite performance of yours.

01:19:30Like, wait a minute.

01:19:30Y'all didn't know what I could do in the blinds.

01:19:32Let me show you.

01:19:36Alexia, that ache in your voice, it's like this beautiful mix of singing, but like preaching

01:19:42and talking, and every part of the message, you realize that you are the vessel for something

01:19:46bigger than yourself, and it is so well done.

01:19:48And I am a giddy little school kid every time you come on stage.

01:19:53If I had to choose, I'd go more like, say, just because of the blinds.

01:19:57But Moses, you did a really great job.

01:20:00Thank you so much.

01:20:01Thank you, coaches.

01:20:02All right, Adam.

01:20:03Tough decision coming up.

01:20:04Give us some thoughts on that battle first.

01:20:06First of all, you know I love you both, so it makes my decision like that much more impossible,

01:20:10which is a good thing.

01:20:11I'm so happy that you guys caught on to Moses because also just beyond your amazing voice,

01:20:16by the way, which is so different, but just your spirit, like your vibe up there.

01:20:20Literally one of the best vibrations ever.

01:20:23And Alexia, talk about the ache in your voice.

01:20:26Literally there are just moments when I listen to you sing that just make me want to cry.

01:20:30It's beautiful what you do.

01:20:31Looks like Gladys Knight.

01:20:33It's just so elevated, and it's so nuanced, and it's so different, but also rooted in something we all know

01:20:39and can feel.

01:20:40You are just a gift, and you both definitely deserve to move forward.

01:20:45I'm just stalling at this point because I love y'all, and I really don't want to.

01:20:49Decisions, decisions.

01:20:50I don't want to do this, so I quit.

01:20:55Goodbye, everybody.

01:20:55It's been nice.

01:20:56I appreciate it.

01:20:57It was a good run.

01:20:58Got a decision here.

01:20:59Oh, man.

01:21:00Two great singers, awesome battle.

01:21:01There's no loser here.

01:21:02There's no one loses this one.

01:21:03Who is the winner of this battle?

01:21:06Um, all right.

01:21:12The winner of this battle is Alexia.

01:21:18Alexia, congratulations.

01:21:19You're moving on to the knockouts for Team Adam.

01:21:22Alexia is one of my favorite vocalists.

01:21:24Her voice makes me want to weep.

01:21:25It's so beautiful and emotional and raw and broken, but also so strong and fortified.

01:21:30It's like all of the things that a voice could possibly have all in one voice.

01:21:34I love you.

01:21:35We really love you.

01:21:36I feel like Alexia could definitely win the show.

01:21:37Coach is not reminded that Moses is available to steal.

01:21:40Moses, anything you want to say to your coach, Adam?

01:21:43Thank you for seeing me.

01:21:44Thank you for taking a chance on me.

01:21:45It was an honor to be a part of the team, and the time that we did have together, you

01:21:48poured a lot into me, and I'll never be the same.

01:21:50So thank you so, so much.

01:21:52Give it up for Moses Chi, everybody!

01:21:55Yeah!

01:21:58Hey, nothing that always works.

01:22:01We got a steal!

01:22:02We got a steal!

01:22:03We got a steal!

01:22:05We got a steal!

01:22:06We got a steal!

01:22:07John Legend!

01:22:08Moses was incredible.

01:22:10He was just radiating, like, positive vibes, good energy, star power.

01:22:16Woo!

01:22:18That kind of light on the show needs to continue to shine.

01:22:21I couldn't let you go home, sir.

01:22:23Moses, you are back in this competition!

01:22:25I am so looking forward to working with Moses in the knockouts.

01:22:28I can't wait to see where his taste is and what kind of song he wants to sing next.

01:22:32Yes!

01:22:33I'm excited to coach him.

01:22:36I'm so happy to do that.

01:22:37I'm so happy.

01:22:38I wasn't expecting to, but then he did that, and I was like, hey, yeah.

01:22:41No, he did a great job.

01:22:42It was really good in rehearsal?

01:22:43Yeah.

01:22:44But that was crazy.

01:22:44I'm still in the competition!

01:22:46I said I wasn't going home, and I'm not!

01:22:51Thank you!

01:22:52Oh!

01:22:53Welcome to Team Legend.

01:22:54You see how happy Luna and Miles were?

01:22:56You guys were the most excited.

01:23:00Good boy.

01:23:01Watching Bambi so excited was amazing.

01:23:04Pat on the back.

01:23:04I made you happy.

01:23:06Pat, pat.

01:23:08I had no idea!
