02x13 - Live Eliminations

Post by bunniefuu »

Welcome to "The Voice"
live, I'm Carson Daly.

Coaches, Adam levine, Cee Lo
Green, Christina Aguilera and

Mr. Blake Shelton. All right.

Last night team Adam and team
Cee Lo put everything on the

line to win your votes.
Then you know how this works.

The bottom three will have one
last chance to sing for their

coaches. One final performance to

convince them that they still
could be "The Voice."

After that Adam and Cee Lo will
make an agonizing decision.

They can only save one artist.
Two from each team are going

home tonight. We've got a big
show and a great

performance by Jessie J,
performing, with team Christina.

And let's look back at
yesterday's performances.

Great. Moments I was really proud and

really excited. You have a lot of strength

and energy I want to see from
you, but overall, you k*lled it.

You have one of the most
unique voices in this whole

competition and I couldn't
possibly be happier.

♪ I reach out from the inside ♪
I just find you to be very

one dimensional. That was honest.

I think there are just better
voices on the show.

I really gave awe huge
challenge and I'm so proud of

you. I was proud of my team tonight

but a little let down in certain areas.

Breathiness and nervous.
You could have been better.

♪ We could have had it all ♪
wasn't perfect.

Shows everybody your potential.
You are extremely powerful and I

love you to death. I wanted you to be more

dangerous. I was a little jealous of Cee

Lo's team at times.
The red zone, I'm so proud of

my entire team.
♪ Put on your red dress ♪

Wow, baby. Just wow.

Your voice is so...
the best performance I've

seen so far.
That was like watching "solid"

"gold." I enjoyed it.

I almost threw my panties on the stage.

Ladies... ♪ wants to rule the world ♪

A lover and an appreciator of art.

♪ Walk like an Egyptian ♪
It's always an act of bravery to get on

the stage and show yourself.
I want you to be more aggressive

when you sing.
You embody what this show is.

Great performances

and since last night those songs
filled the iTunes charts on the

alternative, dance, pop and top 200.

Two artists even hit number one
and number two on the rock

chart. Juliet Simms, and we'll find

fout that keeps them there.
First, welcome our first guest.

"Not only a singer songwriter but
also a coach on 'The Voice U.K."

Tonight she's joined by team
Christina for her hit single

"Domino." Ladies and gentlemen, Jessie J!

Give it up for Jessie
J and team Christina, excellent

job. When we come back we'll reveal

who America saved.
This is "The Voice, live"

"eliminations!." We will be right back.

Welcome back to "The
Voice, live eliminations!."

After last night's incredible
performances America voted and

now the three artists from team
Adam and the three artists from

team Cee Lo with the most votes
will be safe and remain in this

competition. Team Adam, before we see who

America saved let's take one
last look at how you did last

night.
♪ Tonight ♪

♪ we could have had it all ♪
♪ like you ♪

♪ I can't imagine ♪
♪ I wanna see it in your eyes ♪

Adam, you have no idea which
three artists America saved.

Any last words for your team?
Guys, this is the part of the

process that is so unnatural and
strange, because you guys are

singers, and you're artists and
this whole thing is very weird,

but it is a game, and we're
playing a game.

Regardless of what happens,
beyond the game, there is a

career, there's something going
on with you guys.

I promise. Because you're all so good, and

I love you so much.

Okay. Now for the moment of truth.

It is time to reveal which three
artists from team Adam, Mathai,

Karla, Tony, Katrina, or Pip

received the most votes and

is going on. In no particular order, the

first is... Mathai.

Okay.

Two more to go. America also saved...

Tony Lucca.

All right, America's
final save for team Adam is...

Pip.

Congratulations to Pip, Tony
Lucca and Mathai.

You have been saved by America.
You can go this way.

Join your families. Congratulations.

And now the hard part.
Center stage, Kim, Karla and

Katrina, it is not over yet.
You have one last chance to sing

for your coach Adam and prove
that you still have what it

takes to "The Voice," then Adam
you will have to make that

agonizing decision, one can be
saved of these three and two

will go home.
Get ready for your last-chance

performance. Guy, good luck to you.

Give a round of applause, everybody.

Now, team Cee Lo, time to find

out your fate.
Before we do that, let's take

one more look at your
performances from last night.

♪ Come on and do what you've gotta do ♪

♪ don't know what I did ♪
♪ with another boy, roxane ♪

You don't have to put on the red light ♪

♪ doesn't everybody want to rule
the world ♪

♪ walk like an Egyptian ♪
walk like an Egyptian ♪

♪ want to know ♪
Carson: First, Cee Lo, as you

look at your six artists, what's
going on in your mind?

Hmm. It's... this is very difficult,

and... to have to make this decision,

and this is the point that we've
come to, and I hope that in your

heart of hearts that I've done
right by you to the best of my

ability. I most certainly have tries and

appreciate all of your talents
and I appreciate your entrusting

in me, and I thank you so much,
as you all got great futures

ahead of you, no matter what happens.

If one of you wins all of us win.

Okay? Carson: Time to reveal, who

received the most votes.
Cheesa, Erin, James, Jamar,

Juliet and Tony, saved by America.

Here we go in no particular order.

America's first save is... Juliet Simms.

Okay.

Two more to go. America also saved...

Jamar Rogers.

And America's final
save for team Cee Lo is...

James Massone.

Congratulations team Cee Lo.
James, Juliet, Jamar, can you go

back with your families.
We'll see you soon enough.

America has saved those three
artists for team Cee Lo and I

stand now with the other three,
and, again, the hardest part.

Cheesa, Tony and Erin, one more
chance to sing for your coach

Cee Lo and still convince tham
you deserve to stay in this

competition. After that, Cee Lo, you know

what you've got to do.
Decide which of these you want

to save. The other two are going home.

Gave round of applause.
You've got to get ready for a

big performance. Thank you very much.

Big hand as they leave.
Well, coming up, it gets good.

Kim yarbrough from team Adam
sings for a final shot at

impressing her coach. Stay here.

It's live eliminations tonight
on "The Voice."

Welcome back to "The Voice."
Before the break we found out

which artist from team Adam and
team Cee Lo were saved by

America's votes.
Now for the bottom three artists

on each team, their final shots
to convince their coaches to

save them.
They've picked new songs and now

return to the stage for their
last-chance performances.

Before we get started let's
check in with Christina Milian

- in the Sprint lounge.
- Hey, Carson.

Hanging out with Mathai.
You have to be excited.

Fans saved you. Anything want to say?

Thank you all so much for voting.

I'm so happy I get to be here
more and sing more for y'all and

- thank you so much.
- What about you

guys? Hey!

You've got to be excited.
Mixed emotions happening now.

Who do you think Adam's going to save?

- Can't do that.
- Imagine how Adam's

feeling now. Based on their performances.

I know all of them will k*ll it.
Have to wait and see.

Congratulations.
Back to you, Carson.

Thank you very much.
Tough questions from Ms. Milian.

Last-chance performance start

"Spotlight" for her final shot
to remain in the competition,

Thank you. Good luck.

Give it up for Kim Yarbrough, everybody.

Was that enough to save her?
That decision up to Adam later

in the show.
Last night she sang "Airplane"

now back with a new song hoping
to earn Adam's save.

Singing "I can't make you love
me," here is Karla Davis.

Give it up for Karla

Davis, everybody.
We are just moments away from

team Adam's third and final performer.

There she is, up next, Katrina Parker.

Stick around. This is "The Voice, live"

"eliminations!" on NBC. We'll be back.

Welcome back to "The
Voice, live eliminations!."

The bottom three artists from
both team Adam and team Cee Lo

are hoping tonight's last-chance
performances will be good enough

to keep them in this competition.

Unfortunately, Adam and Cee Lo
will each only be able to save

one of them. Team Adam is in the hot seat

right now and we're down his last artist.

With her last-chance performance
singing "Don't speak" here is

Katrina Parker.
♪ You and me used to be

together

could it be that I'm losing my
best friend ♪

♪ I can't believe this could be the end ♪

say it you'll just start telling

♪ oh, oh, don't speak, I know
what you're thinking ♪

♪ and I don't need your reasons

♪ there is no ending we've got

♪ don't speak
I know that what you're saying

only stop explaining, don't tell
me causeit hurts ♪

♪ don't tell me ♪
Katrina Parker.

How about a big hand for all of team Adam.

Come back onstage, girls.
Karla Davis, Kim Yarbrough,

Katrina Parker onstage.
Blake, what would you say?

I definitely felt more of a
sense of urgency from Karla and

Katrina than I did Kim.
Kim came out here and did a

really good performance, but I
felt the urgency of what this

performance is from you two, but
maybe because it's just the last

one I heard, but I just think
there's probably... I'd lean

- more towards Katrina, myself.
- Christina, who would

- you save?
- You know, it's a really sucky

position to be in. For both of you.

I know it's hard as a coach to
see your team up there.

We've gotten to know you guys
and it's also equally as hard

for you guys to give it one last effort.

I think for me personally,
definitely I agree with what

Blake said. I felt a little more urgency

from...

But my favorite hands down and I
think you take this, no

- question, is Katrina.
- All right.

Christina. Thank you.

- Cee Lo?
- Ah, definitely... under the

circumstances I know that it's
hard to perform.

The pressure of knowing that
this is your choice and the

coaches have nothing to do with
it, and so you stand alone.

You have to win or lose or draw
with your decision on a song.

I thought you all did a great
job under those circumstance.

I've got to say in terms of song
choice and energy and clarity,

and all-around, you know save, Katrina.

Three who would save Katrina.

Adam, the moment of truth sheer.
We know how proud you are of

your team. It's a duff decision but the

time has come.
Adam, which one of your team

will you save tonight?
I would like to say a couple

of words. Which is basically, guy, take a

look around and realize where you are.

Realize how many millions of
people have seen you perform.

Realize what a huge, huge thing
that is to have.

Regardless of what's going on now.

This whole idea behind the show,
it's almost impossible to win

it. Like I always say, I don't know

if I could win it.
It's really tough, and it's a

bizarre, surreal thing, but at
the end of the day, you guys

should all be so happy, because
look at this, man.

This is crazy. Look what happens!

So... I'm going to make, rather

than have it be a long, drawn
out thing, I'm not going to be

emotional about the decision.
I have to make the decision I

have to make for the show.
Katrina, you're the winner.

Katrina Parker saved

by her coach, Adam Levine. Come on up.

Kim Yarbrough, Karla Davis, your
time must come to an end.

- You know that?
- Yes, we do.

Any last words you'd like to say?

I just want to say thanks to
the people behind the scenes

that don't get you know, the
hair and makeup people and in

the band that don't get all the
credit in the world, but they

deserve it, and thank you, Adam,
for the chance.

I just want to say, thank
you, to everyone on "The Voice."

This has been the most
incredible experience of my

life. And thank you for it.

Thank you to both of you.

Kim Yarbrough, Karla Davis, everybody.

Give them a round of applause. All right.

When we come back, the bottom
three artists from team Cee Lo.

One last chance to convince
their coach they should stay.

Up next it's Tony Vincent.
More live eliminations on "The"

"Voice." Don't move.

Welcome back to "The
Voice, live eliminations!."

Before the break we said
good-bye to two of Adam's team

members. Before we see Cee Lo's

how difficult was it for to you
make that decision?

You had six, working very hard with them.

Really at the end of the day,
only hard to make the decision

because I don't want to
disappoint anybody or let anyone

down. I will to go based on what the

best thing was, that sounded amazing.

Katrina, you destroyed it.
Can we put slights on.

Everybody is tweeting.

Mixed emotions. Weird vibe in here.

I want to change the vibe in here.

If you go home, it doesn't feel good.

I didn't want to send anybody home.

But you're here. I love you.

You did a great job.
Christina: We have more

performances. You need to go back to your

seat. Get back to your seat.

Come on, in the red seat.
All right, Katrina, come on with

me. How good does it feel you?

Just sang for your life up on that stage.

What were you feeling, and Adam,
he picked you to stay on?

I don't know what to think
other than to be completely

shocked, amazed and grateful on
every level.

The audience, it was incredible.
Every moment was incredible and

I'm just giddy and surprised.
Christina: I can tell.

Your friends are here. You all made it.

It's got to be so exciting.
All right, Carson, back to you.

Thank you very much, Christina.

Cee Lo, the pressure is on for
your last three artists.

Get to it with the last
performance singing "Sweet"

"dreams are made of this" here is
Tony Vincent.

Was Tony's performance enough to

earn Cee Lo's save?
In minutes we'll be finding out.

Now to another performance.
Yesterday she performed "Don't"

leave me this way" tonight she's
chosen "All by myself."

gentlemen, Cheesa.

Thank you, Cheesa.

Cheesa, everybody.
When we come back, a performance

by Erin Martin.
Then Cee Lo's big decision.

Stick around. It's "The Voice, live"

"eliminations!" Continuing right
after this on NBC.

And welcome back to
"The Voice, live eliminations!."

We've already seen two
last-chance performances from

team Cee Lo tonight.
One more performance to go and

Cee Lo will say which he will save.

Right to it, for one final shot
to stay in the competition,

singing "Your song" here is Erin Martin.

Give it up for Erin

Martin, everybody. Team Cee Lo, nice job.

Erin, please welcome back our
bottom three artists from team

Cee Lo. Come on back, Tony and Cheesa.

Give a round of applause.

Tony, come on in here. All right, guys.

Before we find out which artist
Cee Lo saved, take a second and

chat with our other coaches.
Adam, let's start with you.

Who would you say in this situation?

I just had an awanikening up.
I'm a little pissed off.

Why did it take this long for
you guys to sing like it's your

last chance.
That's how I feel pup guys all

did an amazing job. All three of you.

And I feel... I feel this way
about my team, too.

I feel like, when they were on
the chopping block, and when

they were walking the plank,
they did the best they could

possibly do and did better than
they'd of done before.

I'm a little confused but at the
same time enlightened, because

I've finally seen all of you do
your best and that's what we're

sitting here waiting leer to ses

here to see. Exactly what just happened.

You guys did a great job, but it
came a little late.

You know? If I will to pick somebody.

- Who would you pick?
- I'd say Cheesa.

Okay.
Blake Shelton, who

- would you say?
- I agree.

First of all, I was reminded by
I love Erin's voice, the

auditions, song got away from
her a little bit at the end, but

I was thinking, oh, my gosh. She is good.

And for the first time Tony won me over.

Tonight. I admit it.

I admit it. It was really, really good

tonight. Y'all's two problem is Cheesa

knocked it completely out of the park.

So I would probably pick Cheesa.
I think anyone who's going

win this has to feel every time
they're up there it's their last

chance and I think that's
something you should take away

from tonight. My team should take away.

No one's coming close to winning
this until they do what you guys

just finally did, you know?
That's got to be the standard

for the rest of the show.
That's where it's got to be held at.

Let's go to Christina.

Why was there such an urgency

tonight, to really sing from the heart?

You know what I enjoy about
this portion of the show...

- I love you, Christina.
- I love you, too.

He represent themselves from the
blind auditions, sing a song and

it's interesting to hear and be
surprised by what they choose,

because I feel that connection
more so in this moment that it

is down to the wire.
It's their last shot, and so

they're going to showcase the
best of their abilities at this

time. I think Adam has a good point in

that. Your team, Cee Lo, I thought it

showed through.
Tony, that's your name, Tony,

you... I mean, you're original.
You're an original.

And you come to the stage and,
you know, you work it, and I

enjoyed it.

Cheesa, you came and knocked
that note out of the water.

Christina, who could it be?

I'm sorry. My choice would be Cheesa.

Carson: Tough choice tonight, Cee Lo.

- Who's it going to be?
- Everybody's so emotionally

involved. You know, you guys mean so much

to me, and I know... everybody
has something to say.

So emotionally involved it's
taken up by time to be critical

and just be passionate to you all.

I apologize. Erin, you make me smile.

I love you. You make me so happy.

Cheesa, I feel like your brother.

Tony, you humble me.
I cannot show enough of for

expertise so my mind says Tony, but...

- but my heart says Cheesa.
- Cheesa,

congratulations. Your coach has saved you.

Come on up, Cee Lo.
Thank you so much, Tony, Erin,

thank you so much.
Congratulations to Cheesa, who's

going to the main number.
The choice of Cee Lo.

[ Applause ] All right, guys.

- I love my people.
- Guys, thank you so

much. You've been great.

Give a round of applause.
Tony Vincent, Erin Martin.

Can you see all four eliminated
artists on "Late night with"

Jimmy Fallon."
Ladies and gentlemen, bring out

all eight artists moving on in
the competition.

Goodnight
