00:00:32Tonight is the first Battle of Champions finale. I'm very excited.
00:00:35We've got four incredible artists. Anybody could win.
00:00:40I've been waiting for this moment all my life.
00:00:43Last season, I didn't even get a chair turn, and now I made it to the finale. Like, so crazy.
00:00:47It would mean the absolute world to win. I want to do music for the rest of my life.
00:00:52I'm one step away. This is it.
00:00:55Because of the All-Star Showdown, which I won, the odds are in my favor, because I have two out
00:00:59of the four.
00:01:01Their fate is in the hands of voice superfans and alumni.
00:01:05Oh, it's going to be hard to pick. They're all so wonderful.
00:01:08I'm excited to be voting tonight. Let's get it.
00:01:11One final night of performances, one winner.
00:01:14Our season 29 champion is...
00:01:31It all comes down to this. Welcome to our season 29 finale.
00:01:35Kelly. Keep it going for our champion coaches, John Legend.
00:01:41Kelly Clarkson.
00:01:44And Adam Levine.
00:01:47Our first ever Battle of Champions has been really a lot of fun.
00:01:51It's been unlike any other season.
00:01:52There were new twists and turns and unprecedented talent and unforgettable performances.
00:01:57And it all comes down to tonight where we are crowning our winner and revealing which coach's name belongs on
00:02:03that banner.
00:02:07Here's how it's going to work tonight.
00:02:08Our four finals are going to sing multiple songs.
00:02:11They're going to do a ballad.
00:02:12They'll do an up-tempo song.
00:02:13And just like last night, our special audience here is filled with voice alumni.
00:02:17We have past winners, fan favorites, and superfans.
00:02:21And they are going to vote.
00:02:22Hello to you all.
00:02:23Great to have you back in the room.
00:02:25Welcome home.
00:02:26So we're going to kick off our final performances with Team Adam's Alabama Powerhouse.
00:02:31Here's how Alexia J prepared for this big night.
00:02:35Hey, y'all.
00:02:36We made it.
00:02:38Top four.
00:02:40We did it.
00:02:41Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:02:43My kids have loved watching me.
00:02:46Hey, mama.
00:02:48I love you and you made it.
00:02:50I love you too, baby.
00:02:52I'm here for them.
00:02:53What's up, finalists?
00:02:54Hey.
00:02:55So to be in the finale.
00:02:57Woo!
00:02:58I'm just excited.
00:03:00Listening to you sing, it's a privilege.
00:03:02And you get to do Lady Marmalade.
00:03:04Are you kidding me?
00:03:10It's the perfect song.
00:03:11It's outrageous.
00:03:12It's over the top.
00:03:13She said, hello, hey, Joe.
00:03:16You want to give it a go?
00:03:17It's finale material.
00:03:18And of course, as usual, she crushes it.
00:03:22This one's like all about fun.
00:03:23Right.
00:03:24Every moment of the song is a moment.
00:03:26So like, I don't think you got to hold back.
00:03:28It's a finale.
00:03:29Gotta go crazy.
00:03:32Alexia is one of the best vocalists I've ever had on my team.
00:03:35Every time she performs, she just nails it.
00:03:37Like, she's always game ready.
00:03:40Alexia should be a household name.
00:03:42It's all in the hands of the audience.
00:03:43You did well the first time.
00:03:44Let's do the right thing again tonight.
00:03:48I still don't think you really know how good you are.
00:03:52There's a lot of people who can sing correctly.
00:03:55But what comes out of you when you do it is so much more than that.
00:04:02I just want to say, I appreciate every talk that we've had, you know, because it's built
00:04:07my confidence.
00:04:08Good.
00:04:09Music is like my other baby and presenting it to the world is scary.
00:04:14Adam.
00:04:17But being with Adam, I went from completely nervous.
00:04:21There's no mistake you could make that could be worse than letting the fear of
00:04:25making the mistake in the door.
00:04:28To sitting in a room with one of my favorite artists singing all of these legendary songs
00:04:34and I'm having fun.
00:04:40This gave me a new love for music.
00:04:45I'm from a very small town.
00:04:47There are not many people that love music the way that I do.
00:04:51But being here with everybody, it's like I found my people.
00:04:55And that's the best gift you could get.
00:04:57My greatest hope for you is that you have the time of your life.
00:05:01I am.
00:05:01Good.
00:05:02I would love to win the first battle of champions.
00:05:04That would feel nice.
00:05:04But mostly I want Alexi to win.
00:05:05You are just, you're everything.
00:05:08So are you.
00:05:12I'm so excited for this.
00:05:14Oh yeah, man.
00:05:15Oh, man.
00:05:17I'm so excited for this.
00:05:25He met all my night down in old New Orleans
00:05:33Spreading her blood down the street
00:05:35She said, hello, hey Joe
00:05:38You want to give it a go?

00:10:44Who's finally become
00:10:45The performer that she's always dreamt of being
00:10:47I had a chance to sit down with McKinley Brown and her coach
00:10:49To talk about their incredible journey to this night
00:10:53McKinley congratulations
00:10:54Thank you
00:10:54You're a finalist on The Voice
00:10:55Thank you so much
00:10:56But you got the champion of the champions
00:10:58Oh yeah
00:10:58Who's crushed it?
00:10:59You won the most triple turns
00:11:00You won the all star challenge
00:11:02Yeah
00:11:02Which is why you have two in the finale
00:11:04Yeah
00:11:04Are you rubbing in on Adam and John a little bit?
00:11:06Of course
00:11:08McKinley walk us back to your blind audition
00:11:10Feel like I'm living a teenage dream
00:11:14That moment was crazy
00:11:15I never would have expected one chair turn let alone three
00:11:20Kelly what did you hear in her blind audition that made you want her on your team?
00:11:24Special
00:11:24No one has her tone
00:11:25Like in where she decides to go locally
00:11:28I don't think any of the other singers could do it
00:11:30Wish you would just focus on me
00:11:33It's like so detailed and intricate what she does
00:11:35It's so effortless for her
00:11:37What sticks out to me is Adam
00:11:38Who said something pretty incredible
00:11:39In a million seasons I've been on this show
00:11:41That's the best battle round I've ever heard
00:11:44It was so good
00:11:45There's a theme at this point
00:11:46You put in kind of your own spin on songs
00:11:52You change it up but you're constantly you though
00:11:55Yeah
00:11:55So as you guys strategize and talk about the finale
00:11:58What song have you landed on to do?
00:12:00Almost is never enough
00:12:01Which is special for you
00:12:03Yes
00:12:03My grandma
00:12:05It's one of her favorite songs ever
00:12:07And she has wanted me to sing this song since my blind audition
00:12:10She's going through cancer right now
00:12:13And so I am just so glad that she's going to get to hear it
00:12:17I want to make her proud with it
00:12:19Like that right there is the win
00:12:24Duncan Lee!
00:12:26I want that jacket
00:12:27I like really need to touch it
00:12:34I'd like to say we gave it a try
00:12:40I'd like to blame it a whole long life
00:12:44And maybe we just want why
00:12:49But that's a lie
00:12:52That's a lie
00:12:55Cause sooner or later
00:12:58Wonder why we gave up
00:13:02Truth is everyone knows
00:13:09Almost
00:13:11Almost
00:13:12Almost
00:13:12Almost
00:13:12It's never enough
00:13:16So close to being in love
00:13:20Yoga
00:13:22If I would even know that you wanted me
00:13:27The way I wanted you
00:13:30Maybe we wouldn't be too worlds apart
00:13:36But right here in each other's arms
00:13:42And we almost, we almost knew what love was
00:13:50But almost is never enough
00:13:55Baby, we can't deny it as much as we want
00:14:06But in time our feelings lose your heart
00:14:12Cause sooner or later
00:14:14I wonder why we gave up
00:14:18Truth is everyone known
00:14:22Who's almost, almost is never enough
00:14:30So close to being in no one
00:14:37If I would've known that you wanted me
00:14:43The way I wanted you
00:14:46Maybe we wouldn't be too worlds apart
00:14:52But right here in each other's arms
00:14:58And we almost, we almost knew what love was
00:15:07My own host is never enough
00:15:16That is McKinley Brown, everybody
00:15:20Yeah!
00:15:23Oh my gosh!
00:15:24Let's start with John
00:15:25I feel like this round and last round
00:15:28We're just seeing your confidence coming through
00:15:31Thank you so much
00:15:32In some ways you're reminding me of Yeba
00:15:34A little bit who I absolutely love
00:15:36Thanks
00:15:37And you're just blossoming into a wonderful artist
00:15:40Congratulations, McKinley
00:15:41Thank you so much
00:15:42Adam
00:15:43I'm a fan of yours, McKinley
00:15:45Thank you
00:15:46You really are special
00:15:47I love your voice
00:15:48I love your tone
00:15:49I love you
00:15:50Thank you
00:15:51I love you too
00:15:52Kelly
00:15:53Girl, your voice
00:15:55It's so good
00:15:56It's silky
00:15:57And it's gorgeous
00:15:58It's silky
00:15:59You do these riffs that are incredible
00:16:00That I tell you I'm like sitting in my shower trying to do
00:16:03And I can't
00:16:04That is so special
00:16:05What you do
00:16:06Thank you so much
00:16:07Give it up one more time for McKinley Brown, everybody
00:16:10Team Kelly
00:16:13Yeah, McKinley
00:16:14I'm so stoked
00:16:15I feel like I killed it
00:16:17The Voice alumni
00:16:18And the superfans are out there voting
00:16:21It's a little nerve-wracking
00:16:22Because you don't know what they're thinking
00:16:23Getting to be in the room
00:16:24Watch the performances
00:16:25And have our vote matter so much
00:16:28Is really special and awesome
00:16:29Feeling the energy in person
00:16:31Is a completely different thing
00:16:33Than watching it on TV
00:16:34Do I have any favorites?
00:16:36I'm just going to see who kind of
00:16:38Really like stands out to me tonight
00:16:40I plead the fifth
00:16:41They're bringing their all
00:16:42And it's going to be pretty hard
00:16:43To decide, you know, who to vote for
00:16:46I guess we're going to have to find out
00:16:47Tune in
00:16:56Welcome back to the Voice finale
00:16:58At Universal Studios Hollywood
00:17:00Hey!
00:17:04My people!
00:17:06Oh, my God
00:17:07What happened to you, dog?
00:17:09It's my guy right here
00:17:10What's it like to be back here?
00:17:12This is crazy
00:17:12I love being in spaces
00:17:13Where there are a bunch of creators
00:17:15You know what I mean?
00:17:15That's what this show is
00:17:16It's like music boot camp
00:17:17To have this much talent
00:17:18I mean, it's just insane
00:17:19It's not like we're playing basketball
00:17:21And Jordan's obviously the best
00:17:23It's like everybody's got
00:17:24No, there's a lot of all-stars
00:17:25Right?
00:17:25What are you looking for in a winner?
00:17:27I want to be moved by The Voice
00:17:29And I want to throw my shoes at them
00:17:30And whoever both choose gets my vote
00:17:32You guys know exactly what our artists are feeling, right?
00:17:35Yeah
00:17:35What advice do you have for them?
00:17:36Authenticity is key, you know?
00:17:38We can only be ourselves
00:17:39And so I believe you and you're you
00:17:41Yeah
00:17:41You know?
00:17:43Lucas West, you're a finalist on The Voice, man
00:17:45How's it feel?
00:17:46Nuts
00:17:47Still haven't processed it
00:17:48Let's go back to those blind auditions
00:17:53What did that experience feel like?
00:17:54Oh man, that was cool
00:17:55Seeing how into it you were, how soulful you are
00:17:58It just made me want you on Team Legend even more
00:18:00I've been listening to John's music for my whole life probably
00:18:03So having that moment was larger than life, you know?
00:18:06You win the battle rounds and then you're in the knockouts
00:18:09You do a little Billy Joel
00:18:10I'm in a New York state of mind
00:18:13It felt like a breakout moment
00:18:14It felt like all the other coaches were put on notice
00:18:17Like this guy could be in the finale
00:18:19Billy Joel, if he says this, you just made him proud
00:18:22Lucas gave a really soulful rendition
00:18:24And he sounded wonderful, it was flawless
00:18:26Thank you John, appreciate that
00:18:28Lucas, you're gonna have not only your peers, former voice stars all voting
00:18:32But also super fans of the show will be in the audience
00:18:35Your fate is in their hands, what does that feel like?
00:18:37It's definitely a little nerve-wracking having the former contestants there
00:18:40But they've been through the same thing I'm going through right now
00:18:43And the super fans love the show
00:18:45And I think it's an advantage for you to be a real musician
00:18:48Who plays and have part of the audience be, you know, musicians
00:18:53I think that's a great thing
00:18:55You got one more
00:18:56He's gonna sing Cold as Ice
00:18:58Foreigner
00:18:59Yes
00:18:59Oh yes
00:19:00What is left to prove for you musically?
00:19:03That I'm an entertainer
00:19:04And also that I can play away from the keys
00:19:07So no keys on Foreigner
00:19:08No keys on Cold as Ice
00:19:09When I hear Cold as Ice, I think of ice cold beer
00:19:13You used to work at your dad's brewery
00:19:15Thinking about your journey going from cold beers to cold as ice
00:19:19And what would it mean to win the voice?
00:19:21It would be incredible
00:19:21It would be cold as ice
00:19:23It would be cold as ice
00:19:24It would be ice cold
00:19:25It would be ice cold
00:19:26It would be ice cold, man
00:19:27It would be cold as ice
00:19:39Hey, Lucas!
00:19:39Hey, Lucas!
00:19:39You're as cold as ice
00:19:42You're willing to sacrifice our love
00:19:47Oh, yeah, yeah
00:19:54You never take advice
00:19:56But someday you'll pay the price
00:20:00I'm good
00:20:01Seen it before it happens all the time
00:20:06Closing the door, you'll leave the world behind
00:20:09You're difficult, you're throwing away
00:20:13The fortunate feelings, but someday you'll pay
00:20:25You're as cold as ice
00:20:28You're willing to sacrifice our love
00:20:32Oh, yeah
00:20:36Yeah, Lucas
00:20:38You are paradise
00:20:42But someday you'll pay the price
00:20:46I'm good
00:20:47I've seen it before, it happens all the time
00:20:52You close in the door, you'll leave the world behind
00:20:55You're dead and the low, you're throwing away
00:20:59The fortunate feelings, but someday you'll pay
00:21:09Yeah, someday you'll pay
00:21:22You know that you are
00:21:29As cold as ice to be
00:21:35As cold as ice to be
00:21:37So cold, so cold, so cold
00:21:44You're as cold as ice
00:21:46As cold as ice, I know
00:21:53Yes, I know
00:22:08Yes, I know
00:22:12As cold as ice
00:22:22That is Lucas West
00:22:25Trying to win the voice tonight
00:22:27Yeah
00:22:32Great job, Lucas
00:22:33Let's hear from the coaches
00:22:34We'll start with Adam
00:22:35Man, I mean, you know I'm a fan
00:22:37And I'm glad that you didn't play keys today
00:22:39That is the move that if you had to make
00:22:41I missed it just because I love that part of you
00:22:44You know, when an artist plays the piano
00:22:47I know, I know
00:22:48Here we go, here we go
00:22:49There are times when they have to
00:22:52As Andre 3000 told me in my song Green Light
00:22:54Get out from behind the piano
00:22:59I am not criticizing it
00:23:00I am saying I like how it separated you from the herd
00:23:03It was a wonderful performance
00:23:04And I love you
00:23:05And I'm a fan
00:23:05Thank you, Adam
00:23:06I will say I actually enjoyed you not on the piano
00:23:09Because look, when I go see John
00:23:10He can play
00:23:11But he does get up and he commands the crowd
00:23:13And I thought that's what you did today
00:23:15And I thought it was really cool
00:23:16Thank you so much, Kelly
00:23:17Thank you
00:23:18John
00:23:19I love that, Lucas
00:23:20Your voice sounded more powerful
00:23:22And more clear and beautiful than ever
00:23:25I loved you doing something that felt different
00:23:27From all the things you've done before
00:23:28Wonderfully done
00:23:29Thank you so much, Sean
00:23:30Give it up one more time for Lucas West
00:23:35I thought Lucas sounded great on this song
00:23:37He got up from the piano
00:23:38Showed us a different side
00:23:40My man
00:23:40You killed it, Lucas
00:23:42Team Legend is ready
00:23:44We're going out here to try to win this championship
00:23:48The performances are phenomenal
00:23:50I feel like there's still kind of some sort of pressure
00:23:52Being in the audience
00:23:53And you want to deliver for the people
00:23:54Go Team Legend!
00:23:59After the break
00:24:00Liv takes the stage with a Billie Eilish ballad
00:24:02This is the finale
00:24:03Stay with us
00:24:14Welcome back
00:24:15Well, here's something magical
00:24:16Our friends at Xfinity want to make sure that the journey for tonight's champion doesn't stop here
00:24:21So they are gifting the winner of the voice their very own home recording studio
00:24:26And to keep that dream powered
00:24:29They're also going to be giving them a full year of Xfinity internet and mobile
00:24:32So their music can reach as far as their imagination
00:24:35Big thanks to our partner for that incredible prize
00:24:40Xfinity imagine that
00:24:41All right, we're going to go to Team Kelly
00:24:4316-year-old pop singer now
00:24:44I had a chance to sit down and chat with Liv Sierra
00:24:47Take a look
00:24:48Liv, I'm so happy that you're in our finale
00:24:50Your story's incredible
00:24:51You were here season 28
00:24:52And didn't get a chair to turn
00:24:54You came back and now you're in the finale
00:24:56What does that feel like?
00:24:58When I didn't get my chair turned
00:24:59I kind of felt a voice inside of me
00:25:01That was just saying, like, keep working
00:25:03It obviously paid off
00:25:10What did you hear in this young lady's voice?
00:25:12I had no idea she was 16
00:25:13Okay
00:25:14To be in that environment and to be that calm
00:25:17I was like, this person could possibly be in the finale
00:25:19So you're on the show, you get into the battle rounds
00:25:21You got lucky because your coach won the triple turn competition
00:25:29What do you mean?
00:25:30Oh, no!
00:25:32Oh, that super steal was incredible
00:25:34The fact that she goes to such an emotional place at 16
00:25:40Knockout Round, artists pick their own song
00:25:42How do coaches feel when artists cover them?
00:25:45She chose mine, Breakaway
00:25:46And it's like very much a sing-along and great to do on the road
00:25:49But it's not a competitive song
00:25:50And she turned that around
00:25:53I was like, oh, she's here to win
00:25:55We got to do this one more time
00:25:57What song have you picked?
00:25:58I'm singing The Greatest by Billie Eilish
00:26:00I want to show them that I'm young
00:26:02But I can kind of dig down deep
00:26:04The Greatest might be the saddest song to ever exist
00:26:06I bawled uncontrollably in the rehearsals
00:26:09I actually wasn't breathing right
00:26:11Go live on three
00:26:12One, two, three
00:26:12Go live!
00:26:13There we go
00:26:14We got it
00:26:15We got it
00:26:18You look beautiful
00:26:22I'm trying my best
00:26:29To keep you satisfied
00:26:37Let you get your rest
00:26:44While I stayed up all night
00:26:51But you don't wanna know
00:26:59What I would have done
00:27:07Anything I love
00:27:14Worse than anyone
00:27:16Worse than anyone
00:27:19Ooh
00:27:22And then what a great gift
00:27:27My congratulations
00:27:29All my love and patience
00:27:33All my admiration
00:27:37All the times are waiting
00:27:40You don't want me jaded
00:27:44I made it all painless
00:27:48Man, am I the greatest
00:27:57The greatest
00:28:16All my ìŹë
00:28:22I love you
00:28:26And I still do
00:28:28What a great gift
00:28:28I just wanted passion from you
00:28:32Just wanted what I got of you
00:28:37I waited
00:28:39And waited
00:28:43And waited
00:28:49You said you're home straight
00:28:53You couldn't even break it
00:28:57I shouldn't have to say
00:29:01You couldn't be my greatest
00:29:09Give it up for Liv Sierra
00:29:13Yes
00:29:15Great job Liv
00:29:16Start with John
00:29:17She's only 16 years old folks
00:29:20You took us through like the emotions of the song
00:29:23So beautifully
00:29:24The end I don't know if you were actually crying
00:29:27But it sounded like you were crying
00:29:28I was about to
00:29:29Yeah
00:29:29Because it's so good
00:29:31And it was so raw and honest
00:29:34Beautiful John
00:29:35Thank you so much
00:29:36Kelly
00:29:36Man I still feel like you'll give me a little time
00:29:38But just give me a minute more
00:29:40Because it was like so good
00:29:44We're human
00:29:45We're allowed to have emotions
00:29:46Oh my god
00:29:47It's just you're so good
00:29:49Thank you Kelly
00:29:51When we were all 16
00:29:52I don't know that we were here
00:29:54You know what I'm saying
00:29:55Like it may be
00:29:55I was not
00:29:56Are you kidding me?
00:29:56Definitely wasn't
00:29:57I was not
00:29:58I was like a pimple
00:29:59I was like a
00:30:00Literally
00:30:00Like you have such a vision for yourself
00:30:03I'm looking forward to seeing what you do after this show
00:30:05You're really great
00:30:06Thank you so much
00:30:07Give it up one more time for Liv Sierra
00:30:10Liv singing the greatest ruins me
00:30:12She's able to tap into something at such a young age
00:30:15And the depth that she has
00:30:17You're in there
00:30:18She's a pop soulful artist that is ready to go right now
00:30:22Go DJ
00:30:24These performances are blowing my mind
00:30:26It's making it so difficult for who to choose
00:30:28We're all trying to figure it out
00:30:30It's going to be really hard
00:30:31Yes Liv
00:30:32My favorites right now
00:30:34I've got to give it to Liv
00:30:35Oh she just blew my mind
00:30:36And I almost cried
00:30:37Her talent is crazy
00:30:38She's super amazing
00:30:39I can't get stupid
00:30:41She needs to be making records
00:30:42Like she sounds like a pop star
00:30:43Yeah
00:30:44Truly like she could be huge
00:30:46Coming up incredible back to back performances
00:30:49McKinley and Lucas both return
00:30:51Plus we're going to find out the winner
00:30:53This is our finale
00:30:54Our most important night of competition
00:30:56Stay with us on NBC
00:31:06Welcome back
00:31:10Finals
00:31:11We're in the finale
00:31:12I know
00:31:12So crazy
00:31:13Yeah
00:31:13Now I'm like okay well
00:31:15Yeah
00:31:15I guess I'm going to try to win
00:31:17If you want to win
00:31:18It's good that you picked a song with movement
00:31:20Yeah
00:31:20I'm so stoked for this
00:31:21I gotta know you're meant to be the man I need
00:31:25Talk to me
00:31:27You know sometimes it can be a risk
00:31:29If you're singing a more contemporary song
00:31:31And like the person's on the radio
00:31:32And you're hearing it right now
00:31:33But McKinley's tone is so unique
00:31:36And it's so different
00:31:37It almost sounds like McKinley's song
00:31:39Be the man that I need baby
00:31:41Damn you're good
00:31:42Thanks
00:31:43Yeah
00:31:44That's a ride
00:31:45Yeah
00:31:46It's a lot going on
00:31:47There's no breath
00:31:48You have to do it all
00:31:49Space is
00:31:50Important
00:31:51Yes
00:31:52Yeah
00:31:52So it's not necessarily about keeping up with everything Olivia did
00:31:55Yeah
00:31:55It's about making moments
00:31:56There's a lot of talk to me talk to me
00:31:58So maybe stick to the game plan here
00:32:01You've established the song right after the first chorus
00:32:04I was like okay I get the gist
00:32:06Yeah
00:32:06So at that point you can play a little
00:32:08Okay
00:32:08Can you do the chorus just real quick
00:32:13Talk to me
00:32:15I kind of like it when you talk
00:32:17Talk to me
00:32:18I couldn't have chosen a better coach for myself
00:32:21She's giving me great advice
00:32:22Talk to me
00:32:24I think it's just taught me to have confidence in who I am
00:32:27And it's really well written
00:32:29Be the man I need
00:32:30Hey
00:32:32You know what I'm saying
00:32:34Use that sass of the song
00:32:36Yeah yeah yeah
00:32:37This song is about knowing that you deserve to be loved
00:32:41And my goal as an artist is to tell people to love themselves
00:32:46There's been many times that I have allowed what other people have thought of me
00:32:51To affect myself
00:32:52I was so insecure
00:32:55And I was fighting anxiety and depression
00:32:57At one point fighting anorexia
00:33:00But being here now
00:33:01It's awesome to be on a show where I'm celebrated for who I am
00:33:05I've just blossomed
00:33:07I've met all these amazing singers
00:33:09I have the greatest coach ever
00:33:11This is a once in a lifetime opportunity
00:33:12And it's just crazy that I get to live it
00:33:14You already know I can't leave it alone
00:33:17You're on my mind
00:33:19The cool thing about McKinley is I see her having a career afterwards
00:33:22Because no one sounds like her
00:33:23It's so cool man
00:33:25Thank you I appreciate it
00:33:26You know you can tell she listens to certain artists
00:33:28But it's not an invitation
00:33:29It's like her own thing
00:33:30That's kind of this amalgamation of all the people that she loves
00:33:32Well origami
00:33:34There we go
00:33:35It's all great
00:33:36That's what we all strive for
00:33:38But she's only 20 years old
00:33:39And has that in the bag
00:33:42Let's go McKinley
00:33:43She's about to be so amazing
00:33:45She's about to be so amazing
00:33:46She's about to be so amazing
00:33:47She's about to be so amazing
00:33:55Mmmmm
00:33:55Looks like I'm making up the lost time
00:33:59Looks like I'm making up the lost time
00:33:59Need you to smell it out for me
00:34:03Bossing over on the whole night
00:34:06It's like a type of outcoming
00:34:09You already know I can't leave it alone
00:34:13You're on my mind
00:34:18Already gave you the time and the place to throw beside
00:34:23Just call me the man I need
00:34:26Tell me I got something in here
00:34:29I want it
00:34:30I kind of like you when you call me
00:34:33Whatever the type of talk it is
00:34:36Come on, yeah
00:34:38I gotta know you're meant to be the man I need
00:34:42Talk to me

00:34:54Be the man that I need, baby
00:35:00Be the man, man, man, man, man, man, man
00:35:03I like to think you feel the same way
00:35:07But I can tell with you sometimes
00:35:12Baby, let's get on the same way
00:35:15Stop making me read between the lines
00:35:19I already know I can't leave it alone
00:35:22I want you on my mind
00:35:26I already gave you the time and the place to throw beside
00:35:32Come be the man I need
00:35:35Tell me I got something in here
00:35:37I want it
00:35:39I kind of like you when you call me
00:35:42One to four
00:35:43Whatever the type of talk it is
00:35:45Come on, man
00:35:47I gotta know you're meant to be the man I need
00:35:58Oh, yeah
00:35:59Talk to me, talk to me

00:36:05Be the man, be the man I need, need, need, need
00:36:09Be the man that I need, baby
00:36:13Be the man, man, man, all my
00:36:17Come be the man I need
00:36:21Call me the man I need
00:36:26Ooh
00:36:27Woo!
00:36:34Give it up for McKinley Brown!
00:36:39Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.
00:36:42Nice work, McKinley.
00:36:44John, we'll start with you.
00:36:45You just sound cool singing anything, honestly.
00:36:48You're just showing everybody, like, here's my style, here's my taste.
00:36:52Like if you come to a show.
00:36:53Yes, and you're, like, introducing us to who you are.
00:36:56And I think that's super cool.
00:36:57Thank you so much.
00:36:59Adam, it's great seeing your style.
00:37:02It's super specific, and I think that's a great thing.
00:37:04And I think that's solidifying your status beyond the show.
00:37:08Amazing job, McKinley.
00:37:09Thank you so much.
00:37:12You're just so rad.
00:37:14Like, if people just tuned in tonight,
00:37:15they have a great grasp of who you are as an artist
00:37:18and what they can expect and what they can adore about you.
00:37:21All your chest-to-head boy stuff, man, just keep doing that.
00:37:25Like, it's so cool.
00:37:28Give it up one more time for McKinley Brown, everybody.
00:37:35I love this vibe.
00:37:37McKinley killed it.
00:37:39She wanted to impress the other singers in the room
00:37:41and prove why they should vote for her.
00:37:42Her tone is just so special, and she's just very unique.
00:37:46My favorite so far is McKinley.
00:37:48I think, from what they say, she's been under the radar this whole season.
00:37:52She's showing up tonight.
00:37:53I think she's gonna win.
00:37:54McKinley's cool, man.
00:37:56She just has her own vibe.
00:37:58Kelly's got a little bit of a leg up on me and Adam.
00:38:01She has two artists, but only one artist is gonna win,
00:38:04and I'm hoping that it's Lucas for Team Legend.
00:38:08Let's continue with Team Legend's pop singer
00:38:10who's paying tribute to somebody who has recognized his talent
00:38:14from the very, very beginning.
00:38:17So, Lucas.
00:38:18John Legend.
00:38:19What made you want to sing this song by this artist?
00:38:22John Legend, you've heard of him?
00:38:24Yes, I have.
00:38:25You picked my first big hit song, Ordinary People.
00:38:28Like, I've been listening to your songs.
00:38:30You know, my mom, she loved your tunes,
00:38:32and it's just kind of full circle that I was listening
00:38:35to the modern-day greatest, you know, pianist-singer.
00:38:38Oh.
00:38:39On the way to my piano lesson.
00:38:40Stop it.
00:38:41And here we are.
00:38:42I'm your finalist.
00:38:43This is a really full circle moment for me
00:38:45and also for my family.
00:38:46My mom is incredibly proud.
00:38:48I can see it in her smile.
00:38:50It's the same feeling I get from John.
00:38:52You know, that little smile he does when he turns around,
00:38:54he's like, you know, that undertone of appreciation and care.
00:38:59I wouldn't be here without my support system.
00:39:01All right, let's hear it.
00:39:02I know I misbehave and we make your mistakes
00:39:07and we both still got room left to grow.
00:39:12I'm notoriously hard on artists singing my song.
00:39:16Ordinary people.
00:39:17I know every little nook and cranny.
00:39:19We don't know much way to go.
00:39:21But Lucas, he's done an amazing job throughout this competition,
00:39:24and I'm honored that he chose to include my song
00:39:28among the great classics that he's covered.
00:39:30It's really sounding good now.
00:39:32For impact, I think you should make it a little more dramatic.
00:39:36It sounds a little too bouncy right now.
00:39:38Okay.
00:39:38Make it a little more heartfelt.
00:39:41Even how you play.
00:39:43Yeah.
00:39:43Lucas has set himself apart.
00:39:45He has a distinctive voice.
00:39:46He's an amazing pianist.
00:39:48He has stood out throughout this competition.
00:39:50For that last chorus, do a key change.
00:39:52I don't do that ever.
00:39:54I love that.
00:39:54And you have more top end on your voice than I do.
00:39:57I really appreciate that.
00:39:58That's a great idea.
00:39:59Yeah.
00:40:00It's crazy to think about that an artist told me,
00:40:03take my song and make it your own.
00:40:06And you can growl.
00:40:07You can do something that maybe rock and rolls it a little bit.
00:40:10In my heart, that's a pretty special feeling to have.
00:40:12I just want to take a second to appreciate you on your understanding
00:40:15with the arrangement, you know?
00:40:17Oh, of course.
00:40:17This is very, this is one of the scariest things I've done.
00:40:20But, um...
00:40:21Don't worry about it.
00:40:22I'm gonna make you proud, man.
00:40:23I know you're gonna deliver.
00:40:24The studio audience is voting again,
00:40:26and I want that audience to be eating out of the palm of his hand.
00:40:30Go big or go home.
00:40:31We're gonna win this thing, man.
00:40:32Let's win this!
00:40:32I'm excited, alright?
00:40:34One win away from winning the show.
00:40:36Let's go get it.
00:40:37Let's get that win.
00:40:38I'm excited, man.
00:40:39I'm excited.
00:40:41We're all in the dance.
00:40:41We're all in the dance.
00:40:44And we're all in the dance.
00:40:49I'm excited, man.
00:40:50Go to tao.
00:40:51We're all in the dance.
00:40:52Girl, I'm in love with you.
00:40:54This ain't the honeymoon.
00:40:57We're past the infatuation phase.
00:41:01Right in the thick of love
00:41:04The times we get sick a lot
00:41:06Seems like we argue every day
00:41:10And oh, I misbehave
00:41:13And you've made your mistakes
00:41:15And we both still got room left to grow
00:41:20And though love sometimes hurts
00:41:23I still put you first
00:41:26And we'll make this thing work
00:41:28But I think we should take it slow
00:41:32We're just ordinary people
00:41:37We don't know which way to go
00:41:42Because we're ordinary people
00:41:46Maybe we should take it slow
00:41:50Take it slow
00:41:57This time we'll take it slow
00:42:00Take it slow
00:42:02Maybe we'll live and learn
00:42:04Maybe we'll crash and burn
00:42:07Maybe you'll stay
00:42:09Maybe you'll leave
00:42:10Maybe you'll return
00:42:12Maybe another fight
00:42:15Maybe we won't survive
00:42:17Maybe we'll go
00:42:19We never know
00:42:20Maybe you and I
00:42:23We're just ordinary people
00:42:25Yeah
00:42:27We don't know which way to go
00:42:32Because we're ordinary people
00:42:38Maybe we should take it slow
00:43:00Take it slow
00:43:07Maybe we should take it slow
00:43:10Take it slow
00:43:17Take it slow
00:43:20Take it slow
00:43:21Slow
00:43:28Beautiful
00:43:30Beautiful
00:43:30That is Lucas West on the voice finale
00:43:34Trying to win it all
00:43:36Beautiful
00:43:36Got you behind the keys this time
00:43:38Adam, what'd you think?
00:43:39Not only am I happy
00:43:41But I love that you did it really on your own
00:43:44Just by yourself
00:43:45Yeah, by yourself
00:43:46With no band, yeah
00:43:47That is the purity of you
00:43:48To me, that is Lucas West
00:43:51Thank you, Adam
00:43:52Thank you
00:43:52Kelly
00:43:53You just went from foreigner
00:43:54To John Legend
00:43:56Only way to do it, y'all
00:43:57Only way to do it
00:43:59So good
00:44:01John
00:44:02I was just so happy watching you do this today
00:44:05You told me that your mother used to play you these songs
00:44:08Love you, Mo
00:44:09That's right
00:44:10It's true
00:44:11And as artists, it's cool for us, you know
00:44:15Because we want to make stuff that inspires people
00:44:18And makes them feel something
00:44:19And I felt something today
00:44:21That was very cool
00:44:22Thank you, John
00:44:22That's an honor, man
00:44:23Thank you
00:44:24Give it up again for Lucas West, everybody
00:44:29I'm so proud of Lucas
00:44:31I love working with a real musician
00:44:32Who understands what it means to be a pianist
00:44:36Being an arranger
00:44:37And of course, what it means to be a great vocalist and performer
00:44:39It was really an honor
00:44:40Thank you, man
00:44:41Let's go, Lucas
00:44:42Let's win The Voice
00:44:43Straight ahead
00:44:44Liv returns to put her spin on a Christina Aguilera classic
00:44:47And we will find out the winner
00:44:49This is The Voice
00:44:50Stay with us
00:44:59Welcome back to our finale
00:45:01We'll continue now with the extraordinary young pop singer from Missouri
00:45:04Here's how Liv Sierra prepared for competition
00:45:07Hello
00:45:07What's up, finale?
00:45:09Oh my gosh, I can't believe it
00:45:11Your story is probably my favorite
00:45:13You didn't get a chair turn and now you're in the finale
00:45:15I cannot believe I've made it this far
00:45:17It's been such a wild ride
00:45:19You did something incredible last week
00:45:20But this is a new audience, new people in it
00:45:23You've got to win them over just like you did last time
00:45:25Two, three
00:45:33I think what does set Liv apart, it's her musical instincts
00:45:36I feel like she's like that young kind of Mariah vibe
00:45:43Okay, we've got a cool vibe, like a foundation
00:45:46But I think in order for you to stand out on this particular song
00:45:50We have to change it up
00:45:52Christina is so cool
00:45:53I just don't think we should tiptoe anywhere near it
00:45:56Because then you get in the comparison thing
00:45:58I hear Spanish guitar
00:46:02Yeah
00:46:02And then it can go
00:46:04I want to thank you for giving me time to breathe
00:46:09But I got it together
00:46:15Change it up
00:46:16I'm having ideas
00:46:18I want to look but I never touch
00:46:21Cause in my heart was a picture of us
00:46:26At 16 she's quite the producer
00:46:28And already an amazing singer
00:46:30I think it's as cool as hell
00:46:31I just need it to be you
00:46:33This song is really about knowing what you want
00:46:36And not being afraid to stand up for yourself
00:46:38Having the opportunity to perform on a big stage like this
00:46:41Requires a lot of confidence
00:46:43And Kelly has really helped me
00:46:45It is unbelievable to know how far I've come
00:46:47Winning the voice would be so special to not only me
00:46:50But to also my mom and my dad
00:46:52Who have been with me every step of the way
00:46:54Because they know that I've worked so hard up to this moment
00:46:57They know that I can do it
00:46:58The last three choruses
00:46:59They've got the
00:47:01What a girl wants
00:47:02What a girl needs
00:47:04You take your moment to
00:47:06What a girl wants
00:47:07What a girl needs
00:47:14I don't know if I've seen anybody want it quite as badly as Liv wants it
00:47:23She's a fighter
00:47:24I think not getting that chair turn last season really fueled her
00:47:27Liv could go from a no chair turn in season 28 to a win in season 29
00:47:33That's incredible
00:47:37This version is so cool
00:47:39That's cool
00:47:50I want to thank you for giving me
00:47:53Time to breathe like a rock
00:47:56You made it so patiently
00:47:58While I got it together
00:48:01While I figured it out
00:48:04I only looked but I never touched
00:48:08Cause in my heart was a picture of us
00:48:12Holding hands, making plans
00:48:14And it's lucky for me
00:48:16You understand what a girl needs
00:48:20Whatever makes me happy sets you free
00:48:24I'm thanking you for knowing exactly what a girl needs
00:48:31Whatever keeps me in your arms
00:48:35I'm thanking you for giving it to me
00:48:41There was a time I was blind, I was so confused
00:48:45Run away just to hide it all from you
00:48:49Baby, you know me better than I knew myself
00:48:55They say if you love something, let it go
00:48:58If it comes back, it's yours
00:49:00That's how you know
00:49:02It's for kids, yeah, it's for sure
00:49:05You're ready and willing to give me more
00:49:11Whatever makes me happy sets you free
00:49:15I'm thanking you for knowing exactly what a girl wants
00:49:20What a girl wants, what I need
00:49:25I'm thanking you for giving it to me
00:49:29Oh yeah, girl
00:49:31What a girl needs
00:49:32So bad, sensitive, courageous and fool like you
00:49:37Wanna go
00:49:37Wanna go
00:49:39Wanna go
00:49:39Woah
00:49:42Wanna go
00:49:44Wanna go
00:49:44So bright
00:49:45You're so bright
00:49:47You're so bright
00:49:48How you care about us, babe
00:49:52You're the one who always knows
00:49:55Ooh, whatever keeps me in your arms is what I need, yeah, what I need, yeah.
00:50:12I'm thanking you for knowing exactly what a girl needs, whatever keeps me in your arms.
00:50:31That is Liv Sierra, ladies and gentlemen.
00:50:36Brought me back to my TRL days, that song right there.
00:50:40We've got Time Warp.
00:50:41John?
00:50:42Kelly tells us all the time that you're coming up with all these ideas.
00:50:45The fact that you have so much direction at this point in your career, I'm just so excited for where
00:50:50you're going to go.
00:50:52Thank you, John.
00:50:52Adam?
00:50:53I did love the arrangement, it was very different.
00:50:54Wonderful job, you're amazing.
00:50:57Kelly?
00:50:57You're ready to be a pop star.
00:50:59You dance, you sing, you write, you arrange.
00:51:02You're just ready to go, and I can't wait to see what happens after the show.
00:51:06Give it up one more time for Liv Sierra, everybody.
00:51:12I'm super proud of Liv.
00:51:13She's a pop, soulful artist that is ready to go right now.
00:51:17And the whole audience could feel it.
00:51:19Their peers and these superfans are going to vote on what's happening tonight.
00:51:22So I'm pretty stoked.
00:51:23Yes, Liv.
00:51:24I've never seen someone improve more than Liv.
00:51:27She's going to be a huge pop singer.
00:51:29She's really talented.
00:51:30The show is amazing.
00:51:32The only thing that I really can do is be as fair as I possibly can as far as like
00:51:36the voting.
00:51:37So I'm really, really excited.
00:51:38Let's go!
00:51:49Welcome back to our finale.
00:51:50We've got one more competitive performance to go, and then we're going to use our special audience members of alumni
00:51:55and superfans to vote for the winner.
00:51:57We're here with some of them right now.
00:51:59Pip, Victor Solomon, Kenzie Wheeler, Lucia Flores-Weissman, Hailey Mia, and Jeremy Rosado.
00:52:06Jeremy, what's the most useful advice that you got before performing on The Voice when you were here?
00:52:11Yeah, I think the most useful advice I got was from my coach, Kelly.
00:52:13She told me, as a singer, as a performer, when this show is done, you've got to be able to
00:52:18deliver emotionally.
00:52:19That's how you're going to connect with the fans.
00:52:21So shout out to Kelly for, you know, doing that for you.
00:52:23Good to see you guys.
00:52:25All right, now another song from Team Adams, Alexia J.
00:52:28This week we talked about the music dream.
00:52:30She was determined to chase.
00:52:33Alexia, congratulations.
00:52:34Battle of Champions, you're in the finale.
00:52:36It's so amazing.
00:52:37How has it been trying to just juggle this pursuit of your dream of music and to be a mom?
00:52:42It's been hard, but it's been fulfilling because I also get to show my kids they can do whatever they
00:52:50want.
00:52:55Wow.
00:52:56You got the three best coaches of all time all turned their chairs for you.
00:53:00You probably felt like you didn't have much of a chance.
00:53:03I never feel that way, Carson.
00:53:05Listen, when all three of us turn around, it gets competitive.
00:53:08He said, maybe the way for you to go all the way here is to do it with somebody that
00:53:14maybe not everybody would expect.
00:53:16That's what got me.
00:53:18Your son had a lot to do with this, too.
00:53:20He put the cherry on the top.
00:53:21Who do you listen to, Matthew?
00:53:23Maroon 5.
00:53:24Maroon 5.
00:53:27You owe Matthew backstage passes at Maroon 5 shows for the rest of his life.
00:53:33You're off to the races.
00:53:34You get into the knockout.
00:53:35You did Whitney.
00:53:36Ooh, you can't blow it up.
00:53:41That was a real breakout moment.
00:53:43It is like if Whitney Houston and Lauren Hill's voices had a baby.
00:53:49What did you think of that comment?
00:53:50I felt like somebody, am I going to?
00:53:53I love the star.
00:53:56Top nine.
00:53:56You sang Aretha.
00:53:57Love the man the way that...
00:54:00What can't Alexia do?
00:54:01There's just nothing.
00:54:02She's just a beast.
00:54:03One of the best things that I love so much is how humble you are.
00:54:06Genuinely, when you won each step of this thing, you weren't expecting it.
00:54:09I really respect that about you.
00:54:12You've got one more to go.
00:54:14What are you singing?
00:54:14One and Only by Adele.
00:54:16When I was very young, I sang it in the bathroom every day.
00:54:21Got on my mama's nerves.
00:54:23Being able to sing this song on a big stage is going to be super amazing.
00:54:30I don't know this song.
00:54:31When you hear it, you'll be like, oh, I know this song.
00:54:33Oh.
00:54:33She knows every song.
00:54:43You've been on my mind.
00:54:48I grow fonder every day.
00:54:53Losing myself in time.
00:54:58Just thinking of your face.
00:55:03I don't know why I'm scared.
00:55:06I've been here before.
00:55:08Every feeling, every word.
00:55:10I've imagined it all.
00:55:12You'll never know if you'll never try to forgive.
00:55:19You must simply be mine.
00:55:25I dare you to let me be your one and only.
00:55:35I promise that I'm worthy to hold in your arms.
00:55:43So come on and give me the chance to prove I am the one who can.
00:55:52Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:55:54Walk that mile.
00:55:57Yeah.
00:55:58Until the end starts.
00:56:05I know it ain't easy giving up your heart.
00:56:13I know it ain't easy.
00:56:19You mean be mine?
00:56:21You say nobody's perfect when you trust in me.
00:56:30See nobody's perfect when you trust me.
00:56:32Say nobody's perfect, trust me.
00:56:39You're home.
00:56:42So I dare you to let me be yours.
00:56:48You're one and only
00:56:52I promise that I'm worth it
00:56:56To hold in your arms
00:57:00Come on and give me the chance
00:57:06To prove I am the one who can
00:57:11Walk that mile we can
00:57:14Until the end
00:57:21Start
00:57:33That is Alexia J
00:57:35That was crazy

00:58:43Like you make people reflect on their own life
00:58:46When you tap into that
00:58:47You make the world feel a little bit more together
00:58:50And communal
00:58:53That's really really really special
00:58:55I've never experienced the feeling that we all just had together
00:58:59Thank you for being the messenger man

01:08:58All right, coming up next is Dueling Pianos,
01:09:00when John joins Lucas on stage,
01:09:03and then Kelly and McKinley get together
01:09:05for an Oscar-winning song.
01:09:06Plus, we get the champion of season 29.
01:09:10Don't move.
01:09:21Welcome back to our most important night.
01:09:23It is the finale of the Battle of Champions.
01:09:25How about a big hand for Eric Daniels
01:09:27and the Incredible Voice band?
01:09:29Amazing job all season long.
01:09:31Now, a few minutes ago, our special audience voted,
01:09:34and we're about to find out this season's champion.
01:09:37But before we do that, a performance by two undeniable musicians,
01:09:41here's John and Lucas with Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me.
01:10:07Oh, my pictures seem to fade to black and white.
01:10:20Oh, but you misread my meaning when I'm not yours.
01:10:36Close the door and left me blinded by the light.
01:10:49Don't let the sun go down on me.
01:10:56Although I search myself, there's always someone else I see.
01:11:03I just allow the fragment of your life to wander free.
01:11:16We're losing everything.
01:11:20It's like the sun going down on me.
01:11:32Don't let the sun go down on me.
01:11:39Although I search myself, there's always someone else I see.
01:11:45I just don't have a fragment of my life to wander free.
01:11:59Don't let the sun go down on me.
01:12:14Don't let the sun go down on me.
01:12:33Don't let the sun go down on me.
01:12:39I think it's really cool that we get to vote.
01:12:41I mean, I think it's also kind of unconventional and scary for the contestants.
01:12:45I think that the pressure's probably on the artists themselves a little more.
01:12:49I think that we'll make the right choice.
01:12:51I think that we all felt really moved by their performances.
01:12:54I'm excited to see who really takes the win.
01:12:56You know deep down, like, the person that affects you the most.
01:13:00I'm here with two voice winners.
01:13:02Season 10's Alison Porter and season 20's Cam Anthony.
01:13:05So great to have so many of our alum back.
01:13:08All right, now Kelly and McKinley's partnership has blossomed into an amazing bond.
01:13:12And now they share the stage together.
01:13:14Give it up for Kelly and McKinley with What Was I Made For?
01:13:26I used to float, now I just fall down.
01:13:32I used to know, but all my soul now, what was I made for?
01:13:42Oh, what was I made for?
01:13:52Cause I, I, I don't know how to feel, but I wanna try.
01:14:09I don't know how to feel, but someday I am mine.
01:14:23Someday I am mine.
01:14:27When did it end?
01:14:31I'll be enjoying me.
01:14:34I'm sad again.
01:14:36Don't tell my boyfriend.
01:14:39Don't tell my boyfriend.
01:14:40Don't tell my boyfriend.
01:14:40It's not what he's made for.
01:14:46What was I made for?
01:14:53Cause I, cause I, cause I, I don't know how to feel, but I wanna try.
01:15:11I don't know how to feel, but someday I am mine.
01:15:27I don't know how to feel, but someday I am mine.
01:15:38I don't know how to feel, but someday I am mine.
01:15:57Something I'm made for
01:16:11How beautiful!
01:16:12That is McKellie and her coach, Kelly Clarkson, everybody!
01:16:16When we come back, the moment we've all been waiting for,
01:16:19we will crown the winner of the Battle of Champions.
01:16:22Stay with us on The Voice on NBC.

01:17:07Alexia, what has Adam's support from the beginning meant to you?
01:17:10Oh, it has meant the world to me.
01:17:12I didn't expect I'd get this far.
01:17:14So, Adam giving me his kind words and, you know,

01:17:33I just want to say thank you.
01:17:34And I feel like I was meant to be on this season.
01:17:37I was meant to have you as my coach.
01:17:38Yeah!
01:17:39Being young in the industry, like,
01:17:41there's gonna be people that are gonna try and tell you
01:17:43what to be and how to act.
01:17:44And you told me to really go with my gut and trust my choices.
01:17:47And I'm so thankful for you.
01:17:50Liv, congrats on a great season.
01:17:53McKinley, what is the most important lesson
01:17:55that you've learned from Kelly?
01:17:57She has taught me to be who I am
01:17:59and have confidence in myself.
01:18:02I couldn't thank you enough.
01:18:02And now I need a record.
01:18:04Yes!
01:18:05We need it!
01:18:06Absolutely!
01:18:06McKinley, congrats on a great season.
01:18:09And finally, Lucas, what lessons will you take away
01:18:11from being coached by John?
01:18:13Definitely being a good musician,
01:18:15but also caring about people and valuing character.
01:18:18And during my time with you, John,
01:18:20I've learned a lot of life lessons,
