02x18 - Live Semi-Final Performances

[bunniefuu]

Welcome to "The Voice",
The live semi-finals!

I'm Carson Daly.

Hello!

Say hello to your coaches.

Mr. Adam Levine.

Cee Lo Green.

The one and only Christina Aguilera.

And Mr. Blake Shelton.

All right.

It is an absolute pressure-packed
night here on "The Voice."

And the biggest show so far this season.

Weeks of blind auditions, battle
rounds, intense preparation and

incredible live performances
lead us to tonight.

Here's what's going to happen.

All eight semifinalists will sing.

At the end of the show their
coaches will make a difficult

decision and give them scores
based on today's performances.

Your votes and our coaches'

scores determine which four move to
the finals and which four go home.

It is a night packed with incredible
performances including one

from our own coach.

Mr. Blake Shelton will perform tonight.

But first let's take a look at
what has brought us to this

critical point in the competition.

Tonight on "The Voice",

semifinals.

Each coach is down to
their final two singers.

It's up to you to win the thing.

Now is the time I need to most strategize.

I think people are dying to hear
you sing something operatic.

All four coaches take the stage.

This is do or die.

For team Adam, will it be Katrina Parker.

Here I am with a chance to go to the final.

I have to bring it.

Or Tony Lucca.

This is your moment.

She's going to rock the boat.

For team Blake, Erin
Willett or Jermaine Paul.

Erin is no joke.

I need to be the last guy standing.

One last step.

And for team Christina, Chris Mann.

I'm one step from the dream coming true.

Or Lindsey Pavao.

I signed up to be Christina's last person.

That's what I'm going to do.

We are down to the wire.

Your vocal must be right
up on the mic for this.

We're about to see fireworks.

It will be our most expl*sive
night yet as you help

decide which four artists will compete
in finals and which four go home.

America better be smart.

I can only hope.

This is the moment they dreamed
of... making it to the finals.

Now it's truly go big or go home.

Every single person on
all these teams can win.

Sing your a*s off.

The semifinals start now on "The Voice."

All right.

Let's chat with the coaches for a second.

Blake, let's start with you.

You have Erin and Jermaine, two
powerful and emotional singers.

What's it going to take for somebody
to represent team Blake in the finals?

Well, one is going to have to do
better than the other, Carson.

I don't know.

You know what?

It seems like I'm detecting a
hint of c*ck from the other

three down here and the last thing I
heard Adam say... don't you point at me!

Was how the other coaches
should be afraid of team Adam.

I'm so sick of that.

I'm sick of that crap, Carson!

I didn't say "afraid".

I don't know what it will take
for either one of them to

outdo the other but I feel
confident that team Blake is

going to win "The Voice" this year.

All right.

Fair enough.

Christina, you have Chris
Mann and Lindsey Pavao.

They are so different in style.

What are you looking for in
their performances tonight?

Christina!

Hey!

They're so different but
so unique in the same way.

I don't know who at this
point I'm rooting for more.

It has to be based on pure performance.

My gut instinct and everything.

It's exciting tonight in particular.

Thus far we have had, you know,
me and Blake's team have gone

head to head every week and
then we have taken turns.

But this week all of our
contestants are on the stage.

I'm really excited to see that tonight.

Good point.

That's the first time that's happened.

You have a difficult match-up tonight.

You and America have to make that
choice between Jamar and Juliet.

How hard is that going to be.

It's going to be difficult.

They're both special to me.

I love them both very sincerely.

Tonight makes almost everything
else we have accomplished here

over the season look easy.

You know, having America have
the say does help a little.

And purrfect the cat will have a say, too.

Adam, how do Katrina and Tony stack
up so far against the competition?

It's cool that we are all having our
teams performance together today.

It changes the dynamic a lot.

I love my team.

I love you!

I love you, too.

It's cool because now that they
are all doing it, it's going to

be a test to everybody's strength.

I love the fact that we
are doing it together.

I love my team.

I think what's great about what
happened with me is I was a

little... I was envious of the
incredible moments on the other teams.

I didn't have many of those.

We had a couple recently
and I feel in it now.

It is an even playing field.

It's going to be fun.

Thank you, coaches.

Let's get to our first
semifinalist from team Adam,

it's the artist who won America over with
his surprising Britney Spears cover.

The 36-year-old father of two, Tony Lucca.

What's up, man?

How you feeling?

Feeling victorious.

Mission accomplished, correct?

Yeah.

People really connected
his performance of the Britney

Spears song.

™? Hit me baby one more time ♪

He was tunnel vision
like I'm going to m*rder this.

Now a new mission is upon us.

The next step is as crucial
as any we have taken so far.

Having the right song at the
right moment is critical.

Crucial.

This song "How you like me now"

is another courageous move,
equally as unpredictable.

It's a confessional love song.

This is Tony's time.

He's ready.

If this happened right after the Mickey
Mouse Club maybe he wasn't ready.

He needed more growth.

That's what he has now.

™? Now there was a time ♪

♪ When
you loved me so ♪

it would be phenomenal.

Not just for me.

It's a family.

It's four mouths to feed.

That's a heavy burden.

We're so happy he's on "The Voice."

It's really exciting.

I mean, he's the most amazing man I know.

With me being a stay-at-home
mom, when he comes home, you

know, he gives me the break I
need and he cooks breakfast and

lunch and dinner and literally is Mr. Mom.

If you don't explode into
the chorus it's not a win.

Right.

Everything is on the line.

It's got to have spirit, passion.

After the Britney Spears thing
it's a whole new world.

A new life.

Step it up.

Here we go.

here is Tony Lucca.

We'll save your coach's comments.

Blake, what do you think?

I don't know that song.

But I'm glad I don't.

That's probably the version
that I would like.

Kind of had a Robert Palmer
thing going on up there, man.

That was bad a*s.

Thank you, sir.

It was really good.

Christina?

Hi, Tony.

Hello.

I love that original song actually.

I do know it.

I actually cleared that for the show
early on for my boy Moses actually.

Now it's fallen into your hands.

So great song choice.

That was definitely a
little more slickly done.

And, you know, I thought it was fun.

Did Adam teach you the dance moves?

I saw some footwork in there?

My boy.

Come on, Adam.

Show us the moves like Jagger.

I can't dance.

Carson!

She was saying nice things about it.

Bring on the niceness.

Tony needs it.

Oh!

Did you say he needs it?

Oh.

What do you got?

Now I lost my train of thought.

Nice job.

If the Britney cover...
it really worked for you.

You and Adam could start a cover band.

Happy?

Cee Lo.

Tony Lucca, your performance pleases me.

That was a really, really
pleasant surprise, man.

Tony, I became a fan of yours tonight.

That was great.

That was great.

Really good.

Really good, son.

And your coach, Adam Levine.

Man, you know, this is...

this has been such a cool thing, man.

What a great collaboration
the process has been.

With the Britney thing I had to fight
and say, man, we have to do this.

I loved this.

We talked about it but I wasn't so 100%.

You convinced me that that was the move.

I'm telling you, man.

Thank God you did it.

This was the perfect thing
at the perfect moment, dude.

You k*lled it.

Coming up, it's team Blake's Erin Willett.

This is "The Voice"... live semi-finals.

We'll be right back.

Tonight our eight semifinalists
are fighting to be the one to

represent their coach in the finals.

Now, to team Blake, it's the
22-year-old singer who hopes her

song choice will take her to
the finals... Erin Willett.

You're doing something truly
original as far as arrangement.

Yeah.

And a song that's not embedded
in everyone's mind like

the Stevie Wonder or the Adele thing.

This week I will be singing "Without
you" by David Getta featuring Usher.

Lyrically this is the first time I feel
amazing about what we're about to do.

I know my favorite thing
about your singing.

You let the notes soar.

You made a smart strong choice.

I never would have thought
of this arrangement.

Thanks, man.

You made it all the way to this place.

It's exciting.

It's weird to look back on.

Erin always liked the stage and performing.

I thought to myself,
hmm, I think this kid has some musical

talent there.

Everything that Erin
has been through in the past six months

has shown she's got the perseverance
to ultimately become "The Voice."

I think this is your moment on the show.

I do.

That's what I want.

I feel like I haven't had a moment yet.

Just go out and think about what
the song means to you lyrically.

For you or Jermaine, this will
be your last moment on the show.

Jermaine is a powerful
force in the competition.

This performance could be
Erin's breakout moment.

and I desperately
want that to happen for her.

Performing "Without you,"
here's Erin Willett.

Erin Willett, everybody.

Team Blake!

We'll talk to your
coach Blake in a second.

You all right?

Sure?

What's wrong?

Emotional.

Christina, what did you think?

Oh, me first.

Erin, you have a beautiful voice.

I thought it was very bold of you
to come out here and do your

own rendition of the song.

I thought it was unique and
original which I give kudos to.

I'm proud of you for doing that tonight.

I'm proud of you also to see you
emotionally involved in the song.

Cee Lo?

I agree.

I believe that the show does
need moments like that where we

make more than music, give it its own
spin and a newness, a freshness.

You accomplished that tonight.

It was a wonderful song choice.

You look beautiful.

You sung beautifully.

The tale is the best.

You know.

So I'm just enjoying myself tonight.

Everything is so good, so impressive.

Everybody's doing a great job tonight.

Let's go to your coach, Blake Shelton.

What did you think?

First of all, you look beautiful tonight.

Thank you.

There were a lot of things going
through my mind all at once.

First of all, I would give
anything to have a tenth of the

talent that you have.

I mean, your singing is unbelievable.

It really is.

But more than that, Erin, I
would give anything to have the

strength that you have.

I'm sitting here listening to you sing
that song and I'm right there with you.

I know what the song means to you.

It means the same thing
to me right now also.

You held it together and waited
until the end to do what you're

doing right now.

I love you for that, Erin.

If you want Erin to be the finalist
for team Blake, then vote.

Erin Willett, everybody.

Coming up, Chris Mann from team Christina.

We're live.

It's "The Voice"... live
semi-finals, on NBC.

We'll be right back.

Welcome back to "The Voice."

Our eight semifinalists are all
performing tonight but only half

will advance to next week's finals.

Your votes at home have
never been more important.

Now it's team Christina's turn
with the opera singer who wants

to stay true to his voice... Chris Mann.

™? Ave Maria ♪

Gorgeous, Chris!

This week I'm singing "Ave Maria".

I love it.

It was one of the first songs I ever sang.

Chris started singing
when he was in school.

he sets his
mind on things and does it.

Makes me think of being 15 again in Kansas.

Brings me back.

I used to grow up singing this myself.

Chris and I have a true
connection with "Ave Maria."

Singing it today brought back
memories of me being 6, 7

performing at at special
moments of people's lives.

The more emotion you put into
it the better, you know?

I love Christina as Chris's coach.

I think people have been dying
to hear you sing something

operatic in another language again.

That's the way I came in.

Let's go out with bang.

She know what is to do
with someone can sing.

We always had faith
in Chris that he would do this.

He's in control of his own destiny.

It's a blessing to watch him.

We should do some twists and turns.

Yes.

I'm cool with that.

You know me.

I'm all for making it your
own, challenging yourself.

This is the first time on the
show I felt like I wasn't trying.

I'm just thankful that someone like
Christina can just let me do what I do.

Not try to make it into something cool.

I don't really care if it's cool.

I just want to sing the song.

With "Ave Maria,"

here's Chris Mann!

™? Ave ave Dominus Dominus tecum
sancta Maria Maria Maria ♪

♪ Ora pro nobis
nobis peccatoribus nunc et in hora

mortis nostrae ♪
♪ Amen amen ♪

That is a Chris Mann!

Representing team Christina.

We'll get to your coach
Christina in a minute.

Let's chat with the other coaches.

Cee Lo, what do you think of that?

The incomparable Chris Mann.

Let me say your voice is
so powerful and so pure.

It's perfect.

Like you really are the
epitome of the show.

You're crying Cee Lo.

No, no.

I love this guy.

We talk in passing many times.

You know.

Stellar performance tonight, sir.

It was wonderful.

I have enjoyed you for a long time.

Thank you.

Adam.

It's so cool.

Cee Lo is totally right.

It's a wonderful thing that we
can have a show where there are

so many different types of
performances, performers.

You kind of lend to the show's
credibility in doing something

so classy, simple and
beautiful and classic.

I'm really happy to be
part of the tradition.

And he can do it.

He can deliver.

It's cool to have amazing
eclectic performances and to be

a spectator as we, most of the time, are.

It's a blast.

Incredible to see it.

Incredible job.

Christina, what did you think?

Chris, I mean, I just felt the
heavens open up just now.

I felt like... I don't know.

I felt so moved and humbled
by your performance.

That was gorgeous.

Not everybody in this competition
I'm sorry... can get up there.

Most people can't get up there
and perform that as gorgeously

and do a classic song justice.

Uh-oh.

What's happening?

A special hug from coach Christina.

If you want Chris to be the finalist
for team Christina, then vote.

One more time.

Give it up for Chris Mann, everybody.

Thank you.

Coming up, team Cee Lo's Jamar Rogers.

You are watching the live semifinals
of "The Voice" here on NBC.

Welcome back to "The Voice."

We are in the middle of
the live semifinals.

It's a big night of competition.

Let's check out the Sprint lounge.

Christina?

I'm sitting here with Tony Lucca who
gave an incredible performance.

How did it feel?

Like a lot of fun.

That's the most fun I have had in
under two minutes in a long time.

That was awesome.

We have a little guest.

What's your name?

Sparrow.

This is your 21/2-year-old daughter.

How did you feel watching
daddy perform tonight.

Good!

Who do you think America should vote for?

Your daddy?

Yeah!

All right.

I've got my girl Erin Willett.

Oh, my gosh.

That was a powerful, emotional song.

You got emotional at the end.

You've got your mom here,
your friend Kirsten.

You went to college together.

How was it to watch Erin up there sing?

She's always incredible.

Did you get emotional, too?

I did.

What was happening up there, Erin?

I think this whole process
has gone so fast.

I never got a chance to
just take it all in.

To finally be able to do that, it's a lot.

Yeah.

You were beautiful.

You handled it like a pro.

We love you.

Back to you, Carson.

Thank you very much.

Now it's team Cee Lo's turn with an
artist America saved last night.

30-year-old comeback kid from
New York... Jamar Rogers.

J-Bird, I want to
tell you to listen to the love.

At 7 I realized his voice was put
here on earth to move people.

America's save is... Jamar Rogers.

I'm in the semifinals and
America decided that.

I'm so grateful.

I'm excited about you and this
record "If you don't know"

"me by now" it's a strong
song in a sweet way.

You need a moment like this.

I agree.

Jamar's performances have
been so high octane I want to

give him something intimate.

I don't want it to sound like the original.

I want to make it to 2012.

Okay.

My strategy is to show America
the record I would make.

We start in the first verse
Juan electric guitar.

Then the bass.

I love rock and soul but want
to add electronics in my music.

Jamar had suggestions that seemed peculiar.

Once we started to work it out,
it sounded very fresh and new.

I've got to say this is starting
to sound like the most original

thing I have heard.

Ready to win.

I'm so proud of the fact he's
adopted a Victor's mentality.

Because my son had been
rejected so many times before.

But Cee Lo was the man
that touched his heart.

Thanks for believing in me.

Not going to let us down.

The closer I get to the
finals the more I want it.

Not just for myself, but for any
person who never thought they

could do the unimaginable.

With "If you don't know me by
now," here's Jamar Rogers!

Team Cee Lo.

Semifinals.

All right, coaches.

Adam.

Jamar!

Yes, sir.

Man.

I think if you were to set aside
the competition aspect for a

second and just enjoy the fact
that I'm... you know, I'm taking

a cue from Blake here.

Forget the competition for a second.

I'm just purely a fan of what you do, man.

I love what you do.

Thank you, Adam.

Thank you.

Blake?

That's by far the most laid back performance
that I have seen from you so far.

I've got to say ironically
because you didn't go for the

big note at the end you dipped down.

I appreciate that.

I hadn't heard the bottom
end from you before.

It sounded really good.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Christina?

I will say something about the note, too.

As a vocalist it's hard when
your register has worked its way

up here to go down there.

You got me when you were like...

I got it from you!

It was one of the moments when I was
like, oh, man, I want to get up there!

I know you're on Cee Lo's team, but
I got motivated to start singing.

Thank you.

And your coach, Cee Lo.

J-Bird!

Yes, sir.

Great job tonight, man, as usual.

Blake is right.

I wanted to do something intimate.

I thought this was a perfect
occasion to just strip it down.

Say, here I am.

Yet another offering of me,
me alone, and all that I am.

And listen.

I think the story of your
life would be a best-seller.

I think there would be a line around the
corner to read the novel of your life.

Because we all... we all want
to know you a little bit more.

We want to know ourselves a little better.

The reason your story is so
empowering and encouraging is

because it's a success story.

Yes, sir.

Triumph.

Good for you.

Juliet, Jamar, Katrina and Tony, everybody!

Up next, Jermaine Paul hits the stage.

You're watching "The Voice" live on NBC.

Welcome back to "The Voice,"
the live semi-finals!

Remember, your votes, combined
with the coaches' scores will

determine who represents their
coach in next week's finals.

Let's check in quickly with Christina
Milian in the Sprint lounge.

What's happening?

Thanks, Carson.

Jamar Rogers is trending worldwide and
your song "If you don't know me."

That's big time.

I heard you got to hang out with Cee Lo.

What did you do as team red zone?

Cee Lo took us to lucky strikes.

We went bowling.

He's the best bowler in the world.

Well, not really, but he's a man of wisdom.

We had a fireside chat.

He just shared his heart.

I love him so much.

I have gotten to know him as a musician.

Now I know him as a human
being and a great guy.

I've got my baby sister here.

Michelle, right?

How do you feel about your
brother's performance?

It was beyond amazing.

I'm proud of him.

Nice to have you here.

Now, Lindsey, you're performing soon.

What are we to expect
from your performance?

Um, well, it's going to be the
first time I'm able to play

an instrument on the
show which is exciting.

I'm just so exciting.

Christina helped me make great
decisions for the performance.

It's going to be great.

We're excited.

We'll keep the rest under
wraps for your guys.

Fun in the back there.

Thank you very much.

Now it's Blake's second
semifinalist, an artist who's

ready to show the true
strength of his voice.

The 33-year-old former background
singer, Jermaine Paul.

Okay, coach.

I have everybody's attention.

I want to give the right me out there.

All the songs before we heard you perform.

We heard the runs.

I want to hear more.

Jermaine's a powerful singer.

I decided on a song that gives
him the opportunity to hit a

note and let it ring out
for a little while.

™? Lying beside you ♪

this week I'm
performing "Open arms" by Journey.

It reminds me of my wife
and beautiful children.

She was always that number one fan.

America's save is... Jermaine Paul.

When I first heard Jermaine's
voice he was actually trying to

use it to put the moves on me.

™? We drifted apart ♪

I actually
told him not to do that.

I didn't want to be just a girl
that likes him for his voice.

I wanted, you know, to
really connect with him.

But after actually hearing him
on records I was blown away.

My wife is the most amazing woman.

That's why this song is going to be great.

She was always there saying, you've got
something, baby, I believe in you.

I'm starting to see what
she's been seeing for years.

™? What your love means to me ♪

I love her to death.

™? Open arms ♪

Pretty amazing.

Thank you for picking me.

With "Open arms,"

here's Jermaine Paul!

♪ Lying beside you
here in the dark feeling your heart beat

with mine... ♪

♪ We sailed
on together we drifted apart

and still you're right by my side ♪

♪ So now I run...
to you with open arms nothing to hide

believe what I say ♪

♪ So... here I am
with open arms hoping you'll see

what your love means ♪

♪ To me

open arms living without
you living alone ♪

♪ This empty
house seems so cold... ooo-oh

so now I come... to you ♪

♪ With open arms
nothing to hide believe what I say

so... here I am ♪

♪ With open arms
hoping you'll see what your love means

to me ♪

♪ Open arms umm-hmm ♪

Team Blake.

Jermaine Paul.

We'll get to Blake in a second.

Let's start with Christina ago ago.

What do you think of Jermaine Paul?

Jermaine, you are a crazy
talented vocalist.

I have to say.

You came in and m*rder*d that song.

You put the Jermaine on it.

It was great.

I think you k*lled it.

From day one I have been a fan of yours.

I wish I would have pushed my button.

Definitely team Blake.

Thank you, Christina.

Cee Lo Green.

J.P., another wonderful performance.

I love to hear a strong male vocal
and such a sweet sentiment song.

This journey record is one of my favorites.

You did a wonderful job.

I'm consistently impressed with you.

Thank you, Cee Lo.

Great job, bro.

Adam?

I'd like to congratulate you.

You are no longer a
background singer, my friend.

Just like all the things you
have done led you to this moment.

That was my biggest criticism in the past.

You sounded like a background
singer until today.

Today you're in the front for good.

Thank you, Adam.

Let's check in with coach Blake.

All right, buddy.

I'm reminded tonight of a moment
that happened a few weeks ago

where Adam turned around
and looked at his team.

There was some guy singing and he said,
that's the guy you've got to beat.

Remember saying that?

Are you going to copy me?

You should have been saying
it about Jermaine all along.

To me, Jermaine is the guy.

He's a front-runner.

Every time you get on stage you
separate yourself more from the pack.

You're peaking at the right
time in this competition.

finalist for team Blake, then vote.

Jermaine Paul, everybody!

Still to come, Blake Shelton
debuts his new single.

First it's team Adam's Katrina Parker.

This is "The Voice"... live
semi-finals.Cancel golf today.

We'll be right back.

Welcome back to "The Voice."

The live semifinals.

The top two artists from each
team are competing tonight,

hopefully to represent their
coach next week in the finals.

Now it's the 35-year-old artist
who surprised everyone from team

Adam, Katrina Parker.

Hearing I was in the bottom
two again was really intense.

I have to save Katrina.

To have a coach believe in you
enough to keep you twice.

To have Adam Levine believe in
me, there is nothing like it.

Katrina is doing "k*lling
me softly" by Fugees.

Listen to me carefully.

Holy.

She impressed, surprised me,
continued to grow and change.

She's peaking now.

Lauren hill is my favorite.

She would be proud of you.

Like that's how good that is.

I trust Adam implicitly.

Every song has been an opportunity
to show a different side of myself.

Ooh.

I loved singing from an early age.

I loved playing the piano.

My parents supported that completely.

She's blown us away to act on
what she wanted to do and follow

music like she's done.

When I look at just the kind
of timeline from when I first

started singing to now,
I never gave up on it.

She would say, you know, music
to me is like breathing.

You know?

She said, if I can't sing I
won't be able to breathe.

We're so proud of Katrina and how
far she's come on "The Voice."

That's our daughter.

Wow.

Pretty cool, huh?

Whoo!

Good luck, other teams.

Mom and dad.

All right.

We'll get to Adam last.

Let's start with Blake Shelton.

You know, it's hard to believe
that just a matter of

months ago you were sitting in a
cubicle somewhere doing whatever

in the hell it was you were
doing because your voice has a

quality to it that just sounds seasoned.

It normally only comes from doing
thousands of shows like we all do.

But you already have that
quality to your voice.

Besides being a good singer it's
just an awesome tone, too, I'm

starting to realize.

Damn it.

Christina?

Oh, I have to say honestly I
have truly fallen in love with

you over the course of the competition.

This competition, I wish I was
your coach for this song.

There is no bigger Lauren Hill fan than me.

I love, love, love this song.

I would have suggested it would
be a different approach to make

it more your own.

Not following everything
she did by the book.

But I do keep it real.

It comes down to... I know tonight
we have to do percentage voting.

Hush, hush.

I have to do percentage voting.

You know, I just encourage
Adam to really look at you.

I know probably the obvious choice
would be swayed toward Tony.

It's more the vibe.

But take a look at Katrina
Parker because she's a star.

High praise.

Cee Lo Green.

Both of you mentioned Lauren Hill.

Let's give an honorable mention to Ms.
Roberta flak.

Yes!

This song has a timeless quality about it.

Of course Lauren Hill made it
even more famous than it was by

giving it a youthful spin.

You just reinvented it yet another time.

So that's a compliment.

A long line of lovely,
strong, talented women.

How did that work for you, Adam?

It's amazing.

Seriously, we have all become
big fans of yours over the

course of the competition.

What's great about the fact that
you did a Lauren Hill song was a

lot of the newer singers like
the Adeles or Amy Winehouse

which we don't have anymore, a tragedy.

Lauryn hill was there first.

You did stay faithful.

I understand the criticisms.

But I think at the end of the day
you didn't sound like Lauren Hill.

You sounded like Katrina Parker.

I'm beyond happy.

I love you.

If you want Katrina to be the
finalist for team Adam, then vote.

Next, our own Blake Shelton
performs live on "The Voice" stage.

It's the semifinals.

Keep it here.

Welcome back to "The Voice"
The live semi-finals!

It's a night of big performances
and tough competition.

Let's check in with Christina
Milian in the Sprint lounge.

Hey, Christina.

Hey, Carson.

There is so much love here.

We have the families.

Katrina's song "k*lling me softly"
is trending worldwide now.

Great job.

You have been a surprise
to the competition.

You have your parents here.

Hi, mom and dad.

How has Katrina surprised
you through the process?

We weren't sure how her voice would be.

She just started singing
again after she lost it.

She's come week after week.

Got better and better.

This is our daughter.

This beautiful voice.

She looks beautiful tonight.

What about you, dad?

She's just wonderful.

Couldn't ask for better.

Jermaine, you're trending right now.

Great job tonight.

Beautiful tribute you sang
to your beautiful wife.

Hi, guys.

Anything you want to say to your dad?

I'm really proud of him.

He did a great job today.

What about you, Savannah?

Well, I'm just loving how he
is and I'm proud of him, too.

Great to see you here every week.

Doing a great job.

Great looking family.

Thank you, Christina.

Our next performer has 11 number one hits.

His new single "Over" is
bound to be his 12th.

He's one of the biggest
country stars on the planet.

Give it up for our coach, Mr.

Blake Shelton.

Blake Shelton!

Coming up, team Christina's
Lindsey Pavao performs when "The"

"Voice" semifinals continues
right after this.

Welcome back to "The Voice!"

The live semifinals.

The top two artists on each team
are performing but only one

makes it to next week's show.

Remember, your votes are
combined with the coaches'

scores to determine who
goes on to the finals.

Now for team Christina.

It's time for the 22-year-old
singer whose emotional last

chance performance earn her a coach's save.

Lindsey Pavao.

I'm very emotional.

Your voice was vulnerable and
that's very powerful.

I'm going with Lindsey.

I have to prove I'm a good
singer and not one dimensional.

I have to work on that in the
next performance as well.

As a child, Lindsey was really shy.

Getting her to sing in front of
people was not an easy thing.

This week I'm going to sing "Skinny love".

When she was young she did recordings.

Now and then I would listen to
what she's doing and be like,

oh, that's it, there's something there.

I love this song for you.

People really connect with the song.

It's a special thing, you know?

People sort of see you as a special thing.

Very unique, your own person.

The only thing I'm going to say
is your vocal needs to be right

up on the mic for this.

It's overwhelming.

It's hard for me to accept that I'm here.

Before I came on "The Voice," I
was a barista and a bartender.

I really want to sing.

All I need to do is not doubt myself.

The rest will follow.

We are so excited about what she's doing.

Very proud of her.

It's great to have my family here.

It's a whole different chapter of my life.

I did sign up to be
Christina's last person.

That's what I'm here to do.

What she does naturally is
gorgeous, beautiful and unique.

As long as she doesn't overthink
it, she will ace the performance.

here's Lindsey Pavao!

Representing team Christina, that's
Lindsey Pavao, everybody! All right.

We'll get to your coach Christina.

First thoughts from the other coaches.

Cee Lo Green, what do you think?

I don't really know about Skinny love.

I'm more into big love.

No, no.

Lindsey, I'm glad you
took Christina's advice.

You were a lot closer to the mic
than I have seen you perform.

There was one other time someone
held the mic for you and that

was a disadvantage a couple of times.

Your voice has a shy, innocent
quality and that's what people like.

But the closer you got to the
microphone you could hear

yourself doing a great job.

You played confidently.

You did a great job.

Thank you.

Adam Levine?

I think it's... once again I have
to celebrate the whole show.

You see these performances tonight.

You have a guy like Chris
who's so different.

Then what you do, Lindsey.

Everyone is just so different.

I love the fact that everybody
on the show now, the last eight

are just all completely unique.

You know?

Any one of you guys, given the
right thing can be victorious.

Incredible job.

I love the show.

Thank you!

Blake?

I've got to say, first of
all, that was really good.

But strategy wise, I have
to hand it to Christina for

bringing it back to here towards
the back end of the season of

"The Voice" back to what
her artist started with.

That reminded me of why I
loved you to begin with.

The same thing with Chris
Mann going back to opera.

It was like, oh, my gosh, yeah.

That was refreshing.

It was really cool.

Especially at this point in the show.

That was risky but good.

Coach Christina?

How did your girl do?

What can I say?

Everybody knows I'm a big Lindsey fan.

We love you, Christina!

I love you, too.

Lindsey, that's great.

I loved seeing you sort
of in a poppy setting.

You were in your element.

You had the guitar.

You seemed to zone out
and get into the song.

Yeah, I'm glad Blake noticed.

Bringing you back to your roots.

I'm coming to give you a hug.

I love you.

Whoa.

Christina is on the move.

Hugging both of her semifinalists tonight.

There you go.

the finalist then vote.

Lindsey Pavao, everybody!

Next, team Blake and team
Christina take on Lady Gaga.

You won't want to miss it
live on "The Voice" next.

Welcome back to "The Voice."

We are live.

Earlier tonight we saw the
finalists from team Adam and

team Cee Lo join forces on stage.

Now it's time for team Christina and
team Blake to combine their talents.

Chris, Lindsey, Erin and
Jermaine, everybody!

All right.

Coming up, we're going to close
out the night with team Cee Lo's

Juliet Simms when The Voice
continues here on NBC.

Welcome back to "The Voice," everybody.

We are live.

If we could, let's take a second
and give it up for our musical

director and our incredible "Voice" band.

It's a very important night of competition.

All eight semifinalists are
performing for your votes, but

only four will move on to represent
their coach in next week's finals.

Now we turn to an artist who's
been blazing her own path in the

music world since she was 16.

Team Cee Lo's Juliet Simms.

As tough as this is, I
have to go with Juliet.

I have made it to the
top two on team Cee Lo.

At this moment I'm so proud of Juliet,
I'm inspired by my own daughter.

How are you doing?

Do you feel ecstatic?

Feels amazing.

She's going to perform James
brown, "it's a man's world."

She has to sing the song
with so much conviction.

You need to hear the soul of Juliet.

I grew up just loving Mick
Jagger and Stephen Tyler.

I wanted to be them.

It's so ironic when my battle is
trying to make it in rock music.

It's just saturated with men.

Sing your heart out.

Going to make it a woman's world.

Winning "The Voice" would
be an affirmation.

But she's a star.

She's the most pure, wonderful
artist I have seen.

I have never taken vocal lessons.

I have been a touring artist for
most of my teenage and adult life.

I grew up with a very musical family.

They supported me throughout the years.

If it wasn't for them I would
be sleeping on couches.

I'm doing this for my
family and for myself.

I really owe it to myself.

I'm so close that I can almost taste it.

It's literally one more step.

One step.

Now it's just this last final
opportunity to bring it all home.

Hug on me.

With "it's a man's, man's, man's
world, here's Juliet Simms."

All right!

Oh, wow.

All right.

Thank you, everybody.

Thank you.

That's as loud as it's ever
been in this room ever.

Let's get to Cee Lo last.

Adam, what do you think?

Whoo!

Man, that was something special.

That was unbelievable.

You know, I think all of us were
totally captured in the moment.

None of us were getting
out of it any time soon.

I have been telling you since the
beginning you're one of my favorites.

I think what Blake was saying
earlier about his own team, I'm

going to say about you again.

You're the one to beat tonight.

You're the one to beat.

Christina.

You take me back.

You take me back... Christina, we love you!

I love you, too!

Yes!

You got me feeling feisty.

You brought me back to a special
time and place when I had

this... it was familiar to the Grammys
that I had done the same song.

It's a thrilling moment to
feel the crowd love you.

It's a very powerful song.

I sing from my heart.

Love me, hate me.

I sing for me.

That's where you sing from, too.

I love it about you.

Coach Cee Lo?

Not a lot of time.
