FunTranscript
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.
00:05:17Oh man.
00:05:21Hey, sister.
00:05:22Oh, sister.
00:05:26Oh, sister.
00:05:27Oh, sister.
00:05:28Oh, sister.
00:05:29Oh, sister.
00:05:29He met all my life down in old New Orleans.
00:05:33Spreading her blood down the street.
00:05:36She said, hello, hey, Joe.
00:05:39You wanna give it a go?
00:05:40Me.
00:05:41Get you, get you.
00:05:47Oh
00:06:12Boy, break all that back of your line
00:06:15Holding her back, set the sheets
00:06:18When you started to free

00:06:25Can't you, can't you, yeah, yeah

00:07:54Run, come on
00:08:05There is Alexia J, ladies and gentlemen, on the finale of The Voice
00:08:14Wow, man.
00:08:15Kelly.
00:08:16That's how you make me feel.
00:08:18You just come out here and you do it exactly how you do it
00:08:21and you make it special.
00:08:21We've heard that song, like, a lot of times in our lives.
00:08:24Not like that.
00:08:28John.
00:08:28I just see a star up there.
00:08:31You carry yourself like you are supposed to be on the Grammys
00:08:35every time you deliver.
00:08:37You did it again today.
00:08:38Thank you, John.
00:08:39I appreciate it.
00:08:40Adam.
00:08:40She tackled a Whitney song.
00:08:42She tackled Aretha.
00:08:43Patti LaBelle just now.
00:08:45You, like, have a list of the greats and you just check them off.
00:08:48For all these mega, mega people,
00:08:51the headline through all of it was you.
00:08:54You were what made all of these moments so special.
00:08:58Let's hear it one more time for Alexia J, everybody.
00:09:02Alexia killed Lady Marmalade so effortlessly
00:09:05without over-singing and trying too hard.
00:09:06And there's no one like her.
00:09:08I'm here.
00:09:08All the choices she makes, she executes on it so beautifully every single time.
00:09:13The talent in this finale is so, so impressive.
00:09:17So good.
00:09:18Our live audience is going to vote.
00:09:20And I'm so excited to see who wins.
00:09:24I think my favorite is Alexia.
00:09:26She has such a soulful voice.
00:09:29Being in this audience, being able to vote for the next winner of The Voice is so incredible.
00:09:35She makes everything cooler.
00:09:36Yeah, it's really true.
00:09:37Man, she's so cool.
00:09:39I love her.
00:09:39I love her.
00:09:40I love her.
00:09:43After the break, McKinley puts her step on an emotional Ariana Grande song.
00:09:47This is the finale for the Battle of Champions.
00:09:50Stay with us.
00:09:59Welcome back to The Voice finale.
00:10:01We were like, it's the finale, Sparkle.
00:10:04Yes.
00:10:05Some of us try.
00:10:06Adam stood up in his sweater.
00:10:08I'm just kidding.
00:10:09He looks cool.
00:10:11Welcome back to our finale.
00:10:12Our special voting audience is back.
00:10:14We're here with fan favorites Sugar Jones, Mark Hood.
00:10:17We've got Barrett Baber, Paxson Ingram, Brian Bautista, and Tanisha Harris.
00:10:23Great to have you all.
00:10:25Welcome home, Tanisha.
00:10:27Pretty cool duty tonight you guys get to vote for.
00:10:30How are you feeling?
00:10:31It's a really big responsibility.
00:10:32When I don't take lightly, it could change someone's life.
00:10:35And so I'm pretty confident we'll make the right decision.
00:10:37We're very confident you will.
00:10:38You're all so talented.
00:10:40Welcome home.
00:10:40Good to have you guys here.
00:10:41Next up, a performance from the Indiana pop singer who's finally become the performer
00:10:46that she's always dreamt of being.
00:10:47I had a chance to sit down with McKinley Brown and her coach to talk about their incredible
00:10:51journey to this night.
00:10:53McKinley, congratulations.
00:10:54You're a finalist on The Voice.
00:10:55Thank you so much.
00:10:56You got the champion of the champions.
00:10:58Oh, yeah.
00:10:59Who's crushed it?
00:10:59You won the most triple turns.
00:11:01You won the all-star challenge, which 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.
00:11:10That 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 vocally, I don't think any of the other singers could
00:11:29do it.
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, who said something pretty incredible.
00:11:40In a million seasons I've been on this show, that's the best battle round I've ever heard.
00:11:44It was so good.
00:11:45There's a theme at this point.
00:11:47You put in kind of your own spin on songs.
00:11:53You change it up, but you're constantly you, though.
00:11:55Yeah.
00:11:55So as you guys strategize and talk about the finale, what song have you landed on to do?
00:12:00Almost is Never Enough, which is special for you.
00:12:03My grandma, it's one of her favorite songs ever, and she has wanted me to sing this song
00:12:09since my blind audition.
00:12:11She's going through cancer right now, and so I am just so glad that she's going to get
00:12:17to hear it.
00:12:18I want to make her proud with it.
00:12:19Like, that right there is the win.
00:12:25I 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 all on life.
00:12:46And maybe we just weren't right.
00:12:50But that's a lie.
00:12:53That's a lie.
00:12:55Oh, cause sooner or later, I wonder why we gave up.
00:13:02Truth is, everyone knows.
00:13:08Almost, almost is never enough.
00:13:21If I would've known that you wanted me the way I wanted you, maybe we wouldn't be two worlds apart.
00:13:36But I'm here, and each other's arms.
00:13:41Oh, and we almost, we almost knew what love was.
00:13:51Say it, McKinley.
00:13:52But almost is never enough.
00:13:56Yes.
00:13:57Baby, we can't deny it as much as we want.
00:14:05But in time, our feelings are sure.
00:14:12Oh, cause sooner or later, I wonder why we gave up.
00:14:18Truth is, everyone knows.
00:14:22Who's almost, almost is never enough.
00:14:37Who's almost, almost is never enough.
00:14:43Love is never enough.
00:14:44If we were to be the way I wanted you, maybe we wouldn't be two worlds apart.
00:14:52We're right here in each other's arms
00:14:58And we almost, we almost knew it was
00:15:07But almost is never enough
00:15:17That is McKinley Brown, everybody.
00:15:24Let's start with John.
00:15:25I feel like this round and last round, we're just seeing your confidence coming through.
00:15:31Thank you so much.
00:15:33In some ways, you're reminding me of Yeba a little bit, who I absolutely love.
00:15:36Thanks.
00:15:37And you're just blossoming into a wonderful artist. Congratulations, McKinley.
00:15:41Thank you so much.
00:15:42Adam.
00:15:43I'm a fan of yours, McKinley.
00:15:46You really are special.
00:15:47I love your voice.
00:15:48I love your tone.
00:15:49I love you.
00:15:51I love you too.
00:15:52Kelly.
00:15:54Girl, your voice.
00:15:55It's so good.
00:15:56It's silky.
00:15:57And it's gorgeous.
00:15:58You do these riffs that are incredible that I tell you I'm like sitting in my shower trying
00:16:02to do and I can't.
00:16:04That is so special, what 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.
00:16:13I'm so stoked.
00:16:16I feel like I killed it.
00:16:17The voice alumni and the super fans are out there voting.
00:16:20Braves off.
00:16:21It's a little nerve-wracking because you don't know what they're thinking.
00:16:23Getting to be in the room, watch the performances and have our vote matter so much is really special
00:16:28and awesome.
00:16:29Feeling the energy in person is a completely different thing than watching it on CV.
00:16:34Do I have any favorites?
00:16:36I'm just going to see who kind of really stands out to me tonight.
00:16:40I plead the fifth.
00:16:41They're bringing their all and it's going to be pretty hard to decide who to vote for.
00:16:46I guess we're going to have to find out.
00:16:48Tune in.
00:16:56Welcome back to the voice finale at Universal Studios Hollywood.
00:17:04My people.
00:17:06Oh, my God.
00:17:08What happened to you, dog?
00:17:09It's my guy right here.
00:17:11What's it like to be back here?
00:17:12This is crazy.
00:17:12I love being in spaces where there are a bunch of creatives.
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, I mean, it's just insane.
00:17:20It's not like we're playing basketball and 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 and I want to throw my children.
00:17:30I put my shoes at them and whoever votes shoes gets my vote.
00:17:32You guys know exactly what our artists are feeling, right?
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, it just made me want you on Team Legend even
00:18:00more.
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.
00:18:15It felt like all the other coaches were put on notice, like 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 and he sounded wonderful.
00:18:26It was flawless.
00:18:27Thank you, John.
00:18:27Appreciate that.
00:18:28Lucas, you're going to have not only your peers, former voice stars all voting, but also super fans of the
00:18:34show will be in the audience.
00:18:35Your fate is in their hands.
00:18:37What does that feel like?
00:18:37It's definitely a little nerve wracking having the former contestants there, but they've been through the same thing I'm going
00:18:43through.
00:18:43Right now and the super fans love the show.
00:18:45And I think it's an advantage for you to be a real musician who plays and have part of the
00:18:51audience be, you know, musicians.
00:18:54I think that's a great thing.
00:18:55You got one more.
00:18:56He's going to sing cold as ice.
00:18:58Foreigner.
00:18:59Yes.
00:19:00Oh, yes.
00:19:01What is left to prove for you musically?
00:19:03That I'm an entertainer and also that I can play away from the keys.
00:19:07So no keys on Foreigner.
00:19:08No keys on cold as ice.
00:19:10When 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 and what would it mean to win the
00:19:20voice?
00:19:21It would be incredible.
00:19:22It would be cold as ice.
00:19:23It would be cold.
00:19:24It would be ice cold.
00:19:25It would be ice cold, man.
00:19:26Hey, Lucas!
00:19:39You're as cold as ice.
00:19:42You're willing to sacrifice our love.
00:19:47Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:19:52Yeah.
00:19:54You never take your fights
00:19:57But someday you'll pay the price
00:20:00I'm good
00:20:02Seen it before, it happens all the time
00:20:06Closing the door, you'll leave the world behind
00:20:09Get the gold, you throw it 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, oh, oh, yeah
00:20:36Yeah, Lucas
00:20:39You 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
00:20:55Get the gold, you throw it away
00:20:59The fortunate feelings, but someday you'll pay
00:21:08Yeah, someday you'll pay
00:21:22You know that you are
00:21:29As cold as ice to be
00:21:37So cold, so cold, so cold
00:21:44You're as cold as ice
00:21:46It's cold as ice, I know
00:21:51Yes, I know
00:22:08Yes, I know
00:22:13As cold as ice
00:22:23That is Lucas West
00:22:26Trying to win the voice tonight
00:22:29Yeah
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
00:22:45You 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
00:22:58I 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
00:23:07I 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
00:23:12And 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
00:23:23And beautiful than ever
00:23:25I loved you doing something
00:23:26That felt different
00:23:27From all the things you've done before
00:23:29Wonderfully done
00:23:29Thank you so much
00:23:30Give it up one more time
00:23:31For Lucas West
00:23:35I thought Lucas sounded great on this song
00:23:37He got it 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
00:23:44To try to win this championship
00:23:48The performances are phenomenal
00:23:50I feel like there's still
00:23:51Kind 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
00:24:01With the 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

00:24:35Big thanks
00:24:37To our partner
00:24:38For that incredible prize
00:24:40Xfinity
00:24:41Imagine that
00:24:41All right
00:24:42We're going to go to Team Kelly
00:24:4316-year-old pop singer now
00:24:44I had a chance to sit down
00:24:45And chat
00:24:46With Liv Sierra
00:24:47Take a look
00:24:48Liv, I'm so happy
00:24:49That 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
00:24:55And 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
00:25:02Like, keep working
00:25:03It obviously paid off
00:25:04That's all I need
00:25:10What did you hear
00:25:11In this young lady's voice?
00:25:12I had no idea
00:25:13She was 16
00:25:13Okay
00:25:14To be in that environment
00:25:15And to be that calm
00:25:17I was like
00:25:17This person could possibly
00:25:18Be in the finale
00:25:19So you're on the show
00:25:20You get into the battle rounds
00:25:21You got lucky
00:25:26Because your coach
00:25:27Won the triple turn competition
00:25:28What do you mean?
00:25:30Oh no!
00:25:32Oh, that super steal
00:25:33Was incredible
00:25:34The fact that she goes
00:25:36To such an emotional place
00:25:37At 16
00:25:40Knockout Round
00:25:41Artists pick their own song
00:25:42How do coaches feel
00:25:43When artists cover them?
00:25:45She chose mine
00:25:45Breakaway
00:25:46And it's like
00:25:47Very much a sing-along
00:25:48And 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
00:25:54Oh, she's here to win
00:25:55We gotta do this one more time
00:25:57What song have you picked?
00:25:58I'm singing
00:25:59The Greatest by Billie Eilish
00:26:00I wanna show them
00:26:01That I'm young
00:26:02But I can kinda dig down deep
00:26:04The Greatest might be
00:26:05The saddest song to ever exist
00:26:06I bawled uncontrollably
00:26:08In 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
00:26:17You 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've done
00:27:07Anything I love
00:27:14Worse than anyone
00:27:22Worse than anyone
00:27:23And 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
00:27:48You don't want me jaded
00:27:52You don't want me jaded
00:27:56You don't want me jaded
00:28:21I loved you
00:28:24And I still do
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
00:28:50You said you hold me straight
00:28:53You couldn't even break it
00:28:57I shouldn't have to say
00:29:00You could've been my greatest
00:29:09Give it up for Liv Sierra
00:29:14Great 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
00:29:26I 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
00:29:30Cause 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
00:29:40Cause 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
00:29:50When we were all 16
00:29:52I don't know that we were here
00:29:54You know what I'm saying
00:29:55You know what I'm saying
00:29:55Like it may be
00:29:55I was not
00:29:56Are you kidding me?
00:29:56I 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
00:30:09Liv 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 insane
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
00:31:14Now 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
00:31:27Talk to me
00:31:28You 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
00:31:51Important
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
00:32:03Right after the first chorus
00:32:04I was like okay I get the gist
00:32:06Yeah
00:32:06So at that point
00:32:07You can play a little
00:32:08Okay
00:32:08Can you do the chorus just real quick
00:32:11Tell me you got something to give
00:32:15I kind of like it when you talk 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
00:32:31Hey
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
00:32:45Why do we do the things we do
00:32:47There'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
00:33:06I'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
00:33:16I can't leave it alone
00:33:17You're on my mind
00:33:19The cool thing about McKinley
00:33:21Is 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
00:33:26Yeah you 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
00:33:43It's about to be so amazing
00:33:54Looks like we're making up the lost time
00:33:58Need you to spell it out for me
00:34:03Busting over on all night
00:34:06It's like a type of outcoming
00:34:09You already know
00:34:11I 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 you got something in it
00:34:29I want it
00:34:30I kinda like you when you call me
00:34:33Whatever the type of talk it is

00:35:00Be the man, man, man, man, man, man
00:35:03I like to think you feel the same way
00:35:06But I can't tell with you sometimes
00:35:11Baby, let's get on the same way
00:35:15Stop making that read between the lines
00:35:19I already know
00:35:20I can't leave it alone
00:35:22You're on my mind
00:35:27Already gave you the time and the place
00:35:30So don't be shy
00:35:32Don't be the man I need
00:35:35Tell me I got something in it
00:35:37I want it
00:35:39I kinda like you when you call me
00:35:42One to four
00:35:43Whatever the type of talk it is
00:35:45Come on
00:35:46I gotta know you're meant to be the man I need

00:36:15Oh, yeah
00:36:19Come be the man I need
00:36:21Come be the man I need
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, and I think that's super cool.
00:36:57Thank you so much.
00:36:59Adam, it's great seeing your style.
00:37:01It's super specific, and I think that's a great thing, and 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, they have a great grasp of who you are as an artist and
00:37:18what they can expect and what they can adore about you.
00:37:21All your chest-to-head boy stuff, man.
00:37:23Just keep doing that.
00:37:25Like, it's so cool.
00:37:28Give it up one more time for McKinley Brown, everybody.
00:37:32Come on, ladies and gentlemen.
00:37:35I love this vibe.
00:37:37McKinley killed it.
00:37:39She wanted to impress the other singers in the room and prove why they should vote for her.
00:37:43Her 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 going to 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 going to win, and I'm hoping that it's Lucas for Team
00:38:07Legend.
00:38:08Let's continue with Team Legend's pop singer who's paying tribute to somebody who has recognized his talent from the very,
00:38:15very beginning.
00:38:17So, Lucas.
00:38:18John Legend.
00:38:19What made you want to sing this song by this artist, John Legend, you've heard of him?
00:38:24Yes, I have.
00:38:25You picked my first big hit song, Ordinary People.
00:38:29Like, I've been listening to your songs.
00:38:30Now, my mom, she loved your tunes, and it's just kind of full circle that I was listening to the
00:38:36modern-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, and also for my family.
00:38:46My mom is incredibly proud.
00:38:49I 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, he's like, you know, that undertone of appreciation and
00:38:58care.
00:38:59I wouldn't be here without my support system.
00:39:01All right, let's hear it.
00:39:03I know I misbehave, and we make your mistakes, and we both still got room left to grow.
00:39:11I'm notoriously hard on artists singing my song.
00:39:15Ordinary people.
00:39:16I know every little nook and cranny, but Lucas, he's done an amazing job throughout this competition, and I'm honored
00:39:26that he chose to include my song among the great classics that he's covered.
00:39:30It's really sounding good.
00:39:31Now, for 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, take 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 and your understanding with the arrangement.
00:40:17Oh, of course.
00:40:17This is one of the scariest things I've done.
00:40:21Don't worry about it.
00:40:22I'm going to make you proud, man.
00:40:23I know you're going to deliver.
00:40:24The studio audience is voting again, and I want that audience to be eating out of the
00:40:29palm of his hand.
00:40:30Go big or go home.
00:40:31We're going to win this thing, man.
00:40:32Let's win this.
00:40:32I'm excited.
00:40:33All right.
00:40:34One win away from winning the show.
00:40:36Let's go get it.
00:40:37Let's get that win.
00:40:39Let's go get it.
00:40:51Girl, I'm in love with you.
00:40:54This ain't the honeymoon.
00:40:57We'll pass the infatuation phase.
00:41:02Right in the thick of love.
00:41:04The times we get sick of love.
00:41:07Seems like we argue every day.
00:41:10And no, 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, I still put you first.
00:41:25And 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.
00:41:46Yeah.
00:41:48Maybe we should take it slow.
00:41:51Take it slow.
00:41:54Oh, this time we'll take it slow.
00:42:01Take it slow.
00:42:02Oh, maybe we'll live and learn.
00:42:05Maybe 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.
00:42:18Maybe we'll go.
00:42:19We never know.
00:42:20Maybe you and I, we're just ordinary people.
00:42:27Maybe we're just ordinary people.
00:42:28We don't know which way to go.
00:42:37Maybe we should take it slow.
00:42:42Maybe we should take it slow.
00:42:43Because we're ordinary people.
00:42:48Maybe we're just ordinary people.
00:42:48Oh, we don't know.
00:42:49Oh, we don't know which way to go.
00:42:50Oh, we don't know which way to go.
00:42:53Because we're ordinary people.
00:42:55Oh, we're just ordinary people.
00:42:56We're just ordinary people.
00:42:58Maybe we should take it slow.
00:43:01Take you slow. Oh
00:43:07This time we'll take it slow. Take it slow
00:43:18This time we'll take it slow
00:43:31Lucas West
00:43:32On the voice finale trying to win it all
00:43:36Beautiful got you behind the keys this time adam. What'd you think not only am I happy?
00:43:41But I love that you did it really on your own just by yourself. Yeah by yourself band
00:43:46Yeah, that is the purity of you to me. That is lucas west. Thank you. Thank you kelly
00:43:53You just went from foreigner to john legend only way to do it
00:43:57Yeah
00:43:59So good
00:44:01John i was just so happy watching you do this today
00:44:05You told me that your mother used to play you these songs love you mom. That's right. It's true and
00:44:12As artists it's cool for us, you know, because
00:44:16We want to make stuff that inspires people and makes them feel something and I felt something today. That was
00:44:21very cool
00:44:22Thank you john that's
00:44:29I'm so proud of lucas. I love working with a real musician who understands
00:44:34What it means to be a pianist being a ranger and of course what it means to be a great
00:44:38vocalist and performer
00:44:41Let's go lucas let's win the voice straight ahead live returns to put her spin on a christina aguilera classic
00:44:47And we will find out the winner. This is the voice stay with us
00:44:59Welcome back to our finale we'll continue now the extraordinary young pop singer from missouri
00:45:04Here's how live sierra prepared for competition
00:45:07Hello, what's up finale? Oh my gosh. I can't believe it. Your story is probably my favorite
00:45:13You didn't get a chair turn and now you're in the finale. I cannot believe i've made it this far
00:45:17It's been such a wild ride. You did something incredible last week, but this is a new audience new people
00:45:22in it
00:45:23You got to win them over just like you did last time
00:45:25two
00:45:26three
00:45:32I think what does set live apart it's her musical instincts. I feel like she's like that young kind of
00:45:38mariah vibe
00:45:42Okay
00:45:43We've got a cool vibe like a foundation, but I think in order for you to stand out on this
00:45:49particular song
00:45:50We have to change it up christina 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. I hear spanish guitar
00:46:02Yeah, and then it can go. I want to thank you for giving me time to breathe
00:46:09But I got it together
00:46:15Change it up. I'm having ideas
00:46:18I want to look but I never touch
00:46:22Because in my heart was a picture of us holding hands
00:46:26At 16 she's quite the producer and already an amazing singer. I think it's as cool as hell. I just
00:46:31needed to be
00:46:32You this song is really about knowing what you want and not being afraid to stand up for yourself
00:46:38Having the opportunity to perform on a big stage like this requires a lot of confidence and kelly has really
00:46:44helped 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 who have been with me every step of the way because they
00:46:55know that i've worked so hard up to this moment
00:46:57They know that that i can do it the last three choruses they've got the what a girl wants what
00:47:03a girl needs
00:47:05You take your moment to what a girl wants what a girl needs like all that kind of stuff
00:47:14Yeah
00:47:15I don't know if i've seen anybody want it quite as badly as liv wants it
00:47:23She's a fighter but i 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 that's incredible
00:47:37This version is so cool
00:47:39That's cool
00:47:49I want to thank you for giving me time to breathe like a rocket and it's 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
00:48:13Holding hands
00:48:13Making plans
00:48:14And it's lucky for me
00:48:16You understand
00:48:17One of the words

00:48:52Than i knew myself
00:48:55They say if you love something let it go

00:52:18deliver emotionally
00:52:19That's how you're going to connect with the fans so shout out to kelly for you know

01:00:02Welcome back to our finale.
01:00:04We're minutes away from revealing the winner of the Battle of Champions.
01:00:07But first, our coaches are going to join their finalists.
01:00:09Our duets kick off with two incredible singers
01:00:12on this unforgettable collaboration.
01:00:14Here is Kelly and Liv with Stag.
01:00:27All along it was a fever A cold, sweat, hot-headed believer
01:00:43I threw my hands in the air and said, show me something
01:00:48there.
01:00:52He said, if you dare come a little closer.
01:01:01Round and around and around and around we go.
01:01:08Yeah.
01:01:09Oh, now, tell me now, tell me now, tell me now, tell me now, you know.
01:01:18I'm not really sure how you feel about it
01:01:23Something in the way you move
01:01:27Makes me feel like I can't live without you
01:01:31It takes me all the way
01:01:34I want you to stay
01:01:46Ooh, the reason I hold on
01:01:53Ooh, cause I need this hold on
01:02:01Funny, you're the broken one
01:02:04But I'm the only one who needed
01:02:06Saving
01:02:10Cause when you'll never seem alive
01:02:12It's hard to know which one of us is caving
01:02:23Something in the way you move
01:02:26Makes me feel like I can't live without you
01:02:31It takes me all the way
01:02:34I want you to stay
01:02:51I want you to stay
01:02:54Stay
01:03:00I want you to stay
01:03:27I want you to stay
01:03:31I want you to stay
01:03:45I want you to stay
01:03:58I'm so excited to be here at The Voice
01:04:17I want you to stay
01:04:20I want you to stay
01:04:25I want you to stay
01:04:29I want you to stay
01:05:14How about this?
01:05:16Now I think you're going to stay
01:05:18I want you to stay
01:05:18Yes, this is going in
01:05:19Yes!
01:05:20Yes!
01:05:21All right
01:05:21I got to match it though?
01:05:22It's horse
01:05:22Today was interesting
01:05:25We've got three point woman
01:05:26But maybe we tie in Butler
01:05:27Maybe it's like Butler of Love
01:05:29These voice coaches are amazing and great
01:05:33They're kind of in their own world
01:05:35F equals forte means loud
01:05:38See I can't get it off of the tip of my finger
01:05:40Would I come back?
01:05:42Yes
01:05:44For more coaching
01:05:45No
01:05:48Jimmy
01:05:50Mr. Butler
01:05:51There's some good ideas
01:05:52I think
01:05:53Jimmy
01:05:57We're about to reveal season 29's champion
01:05:59But first, Alexia joins not just her coach
01:06:02But also one of her biggest fans
01:06:04Here she is with Adam singing Sunday morning
01:06:24Sunday morning rain's falling
01:06:29Still some good to share some skin
01:06:33Sing, Adam
01:06:35Glad you're shining, I said, moments
01:06:38Unforgettable
01:06:39Of old
01:06:40Or swift, swift, swift
01:06:41The more that I'm
01:06:45But things just get so crazy living
01:06:48Like it's hard to do
01:06:50But I would gladly hit the road
01:06:53Get up and go if I knew
01:06:56That someday it would lead me back to you
01:07:01That someday it would lead me back to you
01:07:05That maybe all I need
01:07:11In darkness is all I see
01:07:16Come unless you're both with me
01:07:22Got in store on Sunday morning
01:07:24And I never want to leave
01:07:34Yeah
01:07:35Oh, yeah
01:07:36Oh, yeah
01:07:37My things just get so crazy living
01:07:40Like it's hard to do
01:07:42Sunday morning
01:07:44Sunday morning rain is falling
01:07:45And I'm calling up to you
01:07:48Singing Sunday
01:07:49Singing Sunday
01:07:50It'll lead me back to you
01:07:53But I'll wait to bring myself back home to you
01:07:57When you may not know that
01:07:59Maybe all I need
01:08:03In darkness is all I see
01:08:08Say come and raise your bones
01:08:11Run me baby
01:08:14Try this slow
01:08:15Try this slow
01:08:15Yeah
01:08:16Try this slow
01:08:18No, yeah
01:08:19No, yeah
01:08:20No, yeah
01:08:22No, yeah
01:08:23No, yeah
01:08:23No, yeah
01:08:24No, yeah
01:08:25No, yeah
01:08:26No, yeah
01:08:38No, yeah
01:08:39No, yeah
01:08:40No, yeah
01:08:40No, yeah
01:08:45No, yeah
01:08:46No, yeah
01:08:47No, yeah
01:08:47No, yeah
01:08:47No, yeah
01:08:47No, yeah
01:08:48No, yeah
01:08:49No, yeah
01:08:50No, yeah
01:08:52Yeah
01:08:53Give it up for Alexia and her co-chan in the lead, everybody
01:08:55That was fun
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 for an Oscar-winning song
01:09:06Plus, we get the champion of season 29
01:09:09Don'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 and 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
01:09:53I can't lie
01:09:58But no more of your darkness
01:10:08Oh my pictures
01:10:11Seem to fade to black and white
01:10:21But you miss
01:10:23My meaning when I'm back
01:10:36Close the door
01:10:40And left me blinded by the light
01:10:49Don't let the sun go down on me
01:10:56Although I search myself
01:10:59There's always someone else I see
01:11:03I just allow the fragment of your life
01:11:09To wander free
01:11:16We're losing everything
01:11:20It's like the sun going down for me
01:11:32Don't let the sun go down on me
01:11:39Although I search myself
01:11:42There's always someone else I see
01:11:45I just don't have a fragment of my life
01:11:52To wander free
01:11:59And losing everything
01:12:02It's like the sun going down on me
01:12:13Because losing everything
01:12:16It's like the sun going down on me
01:12:32Lucas and his coach John Legend everybody
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
01:12:43And scary for the contestants
01:12:45I think that the pressure's probably
01:12:47On the artists themselves a little more
01:12:49I think that we'll make the right choice
01:12:50I think that we all felt really moved
01:12:53By their performances
01:12:54I'm excited to see who really takes the win
01:12:56You know deep down
01:12:57Like the person that affects you the most
01:12:59I'm here with two voice winners
01:13:02Season 10's Alison Porter
01:13:03And 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
01:13:10Has blossomed into an amazing bond
01:13:12And now they share the stage together
01:13:14Give it up for Kelly and McKinley
01:13:17With What Was I Made For
01:13:36What Was I Made For
01:13:51Cause I, I, I don't know how to feel
01:14:02But I wanna try
01:14:09I don't know how to feel
01:14:15But someday I am mine
01:14:22Someday I am mine
01:14:26When did it end?
01:14:31I'll be enjoying it
01:14:33I'm sad again
01:14:36Don't tell my boyfriend
01:14:39It's not what he's made for
01:14:45It's not what he's made for
01:14:46What was I made for
01:14:53Cause I, cause I
01:14:59I don't know how to feel
01:15:03But I wanna try
01:15:11I don't know how to feel
01:15:17But someday
01:15:23I'm not
01:15:25I'm not
01:15:29I'm not
01:15:30When I forgot
01:15:31How to be happy
01:15:34Something or not
01:15:38Something I can't be
01:15:41Something I'll wait for
01:15:44Oh, something I'm made for, something I'm made for.
01:16:10How beautiful.
01:16:12That is McKinley 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.
01:16:34We are back, and this is it.

01:16:38of our first-ever Battle of Champions.
01:16:41Please welcome your final four.

01:16:55from all four of you.

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, just motivating me has really brought
01:17:20me so far.
01:17:21And I want to say I appreciate you for that.
01:17:25Well, congrats on a great season.
01:17:28Liv, Kelly's been a huge support to you.
01:17:31What would you like to say to her right now?
01:17:32I just want to say thank you, and 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, there's gonna be people that are gonna try and tell
01:17:42you what to be and how to act, and you've told me to really go with my gut and trust
01:17:46my choices, and I'm so thankful for you.
01:17:50Liv, congrats on a great season.
01:17:53McKinley, what is the most important lesson that you've learned from Kelly?
01:17:56She has taught me to be who I am and have confidence in myself.
01:18:01I couldn't thank you enough.
01:18:03And now I need a record.
01:18:04Yes!
01:18:05We need it!
01:18:06McKinley, congrats on a great season.
01:18:09And finally, Lucas, what lessons will you take away from being coached by John?
01:18:13Definitely being a good musician, but also caring about people and valuing character.
01:18:18And during my time with you, John, I've learned a lot of life lessons, and I appreciate
01:18:22you for that.
01:18:23My man.
