In the blind auditions,
Yay! whoo! yeah!aches away.
I want to make you "the voice."
They went on to win battles.
That's how you battle.
We just got our asses whooped
Out here.
I just love when women
Are fearless.
Only the best of the best
Have made it this far.
And now our coaches' teams
Are only one step away
From the live shows.
Wee...
To the knockouts.
The coaches must
Cut their teams in half
By pairing off teammates
To perform individually
Against one another.
The best part about
The knockout rounds
Is knowing what you're walking
In to the live show with.
And only one will move on.
This is it. make or break.
There's no safety net.
?and i'm here to remind you
But for the first time
In knockout history,
Each coach has one final steal.
Whoa! we got a steal!
Ohh! ohh! ohh!
The steals in the knockouts
Are a complete game changer.
It gives you the opportunity
To create the best team
Moving into the lives.
I know you want to win again.
I don't think you deserve to win.
What do you mean?
Having steals gives me
An opportunity
To have someone on my team
Who i have been interested in.
I don't want to go through this
With you, man.
Don't -- don't --
Don't look him in the eye.
Welcome to team christina.
For the artists,
It's their first chance
At one-on-one coaching...
Thank you so much
For stealing me, honestly.
...for the most important
Performance yet.
This is a big song.
And each artist will choose
Their own song.
I've chosen to sing "creep"
By radiohead.
"hey, soul sister."
"living for the city."
"genie in a bottle."
Song choice is huge.
This is the moment
For the artist to show
Who they really are.
For the artists performing
Tonight, every note will count.
The last note actually
Was a little pitchy.
Is there a way that you can come
At that in another octave?
Because everything is at stake.
The tough thing about having a team full of super talent...
Awesome.
...is half of them
Have to leave.
?a-a-and i don't even know
That means i'm looking for stars.
The artists
Will have to deliver.
It's really important to see
Who can command the stage
Under pressure.
?life is very short
I'm looking for the best singer, performer extraordinaire.
No less.
?don't go-o-o-o-o-o-o
Because when it's over,
Each coach can only take
Five artists live.
Who is the winner
Of this knockout?
sh**t!
It's hard.
I don't want
To do this show.
Can shakira come back,
Please?
We got a steal!
It's a night of surprises.
And we got another one!
Being able to steal somebody back that you wanted to keep --
It's very cool.
And anything can happen.
Whoo!
Don't even think about it, shelton.
What are you talking
About?
Blake shelton's in!
The knockouts start right now!
We get a steal this time.
We get a steal.
One steal.
Blake will have a chance
At having a better team,
Which is good.
Right, because i haven't been
Doing very well
On this show
The last few seasons.
Oh, yeah, i've been winning.
That's right.
As our coaches
Head to their chairs,
Let's take a look
At team christina's
First knockout pairing.
It's amber nicole
Versus josh logan.
Amber and josh
Come from two different genres,
But they're both strong singers.
I need to see
Who can command the stage
And put on
An amazing performance.
HEY! Christina: HOW ARE YOU?
Recovered from
The last go-round?
?liste-e-e-n
Winning the battle round
Was still a shock to me.
The winner of this battle
Is amber.
The stakes get higher
Every single round.
And i know i have my work
Cut out for me, but i'm excited.
?mama knows best when...
I'm singing "mama knows best"
By jessie j.
For the knockout rounds.
I chose this song
Because of its power,
And i feel like this song
Was made for me.
?ohhhhhh
I love that.
The only thing
Is pitch-wise,
It might be a little bit sharp
At the end-end.
Sharp. okay. okay.
Now i got to see you
Move to it.
But, like, even you --
If you want to be like...
Anything you can do to add
Character to this song, too.
Oh, yeah. okay.
This type of a song
Allows a performer
To bring inflections
That tell a story.
I would just make sure
You have eye contact.
Okay.
And, like, just kind of preach to them.
Amber's grown leaps and bounds
At controlling her nerves
And pitchiness.
And i couldn't think
Of a better fit for this song.
?how can i trust
In order to win
This knockout round,
I know that i have to bring
The performance alive
With sass, attitude,
And character.
?i said take your stuff
And go ?
I'm only 17, but i know
That if i made it this far,
I can make it much further.
Hello, josh.
How are you?
?when it gets cold outside
And you got nobody... ?
Winning the battle round
Was such a surreal experience.
This is my song.
It's my baby.
And you guys did
An amazing job.
Christina's taught me a lot.
I'm stoked that she's kept me
On her team.
?livin' for the city, aah
For the knockout round,
I chose stevie wonder's
"living for the city."
?la-da-da-da-da
This song really speaks to me
Because it's all about struggle
As a full-time musician.
And i really enjoy
Soulful music.
I think that's where i'm
Destined to head with my style.
You totally, like,
Hit that end note
And then you got off of it
And it looked like
You almost, like,
Beat yourself up.
Don't do that.
I know.
Josh chose a stevie song.
He sounds so much like him
It's a little scary.
But josh's biggest enemy
Is really getting
Too much in his own head.
Your instincts
Are right on.
I would just give it, like,
That cool vibrato, like...
Make sure you let us know
That's on purpose.
It's not because you're scared
Of a high note.
Yeah.
I want to win this knockout
For myself,
But i also want to win it
For my son and my mother.
I hope that i can
Make them proud.
I need to be in the moment,
And i need to really
Bring the crowd with me
Along for a crazy ride.
With "mama knows best,"
Here's amber nicole.
?well, there is something
Going down ?
?like the storm in the sky
?i ain't gonna be played
By your behavior ?
?how can i trust someone
Who's lying to me? ?
?so bow out, go
?now i said bow out, leave
?i said take your stuff
And go ?
?'cause you're not for me, no
?see, mama knows best
When times get hard ?
?and papa always has a joke
To make me laugh ?
?see, mama knows best
When i feel down ?
?to bring me up and always keep
My feet on solid ground ?
?yeah, yeah
?"just keep the best of ma,"
Daddy said to me, yeah ?
?"always use humor
As your therapy," yeah ?
?"don't ever take life
Too seriously ?
?just do you, 'cause you do you
So perfectly" ?
?who-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-a
?hey, hey
?who-o-o-o-o-o-o-a, yes
?see, mama, mama knows best
?see, daddy, daddy knows best
?see, mama, mama knows
?yeah, yeah
?who-o-o-o-o-o-o-a
With "living for the city,"
Here is josh logan.
?a boy is born
In hard-time mississippi ?
?surrounded by four walls
That ain't so pretty ?
?his parents give him
Whoo!
?some love and affection
?to keep him strong,
Moving in the right direction ? 200 00:08: 00:08:22,451 ?livin' just enough, just enough for the city ?
?ooh, ha
?his father works, now,
Some days for 14 hours ?
?and you can bet
He barely makes a dollar ?
?his mama goes to scrub
The floors for many ?
?and you'd best believe,
Oh, she hardly gets a penny ?
?livin' just enough
?i'm givin' just enough
For the city ?
?oh, yeah, whoo
?da-da-da da da da-da-da
?da da da da da da-da
?da da da da
?da da da da-da-a-a-a-a
?slow down, baby
?i said livin' just enough
?livin' for the city now
?now, now, everybody,
Let me hear you say ?
?livin' just enough
?i'm givin' just enough
For the city ?
?yeah, yeah, ooh
?lord, it's just enough
That dude's crazy.
Yeah.
Give it up for team
Christina and the knockouts!
Whoo!
Yep, that's my team.
That's my team.
That is your team,
Christina.
And a tough decision
Coming up. cee lo green, what did you think?
What a great song choice.
You were able to convey
So much character
And so much,
You know, conviction. character!
Yeah, you know.
That was my note. you did it.
And still sing
A very difficult song to sing.
And you, josh --
I keep discovering you, bro.
You got a great voice.
Thanks.
Thank you, cee lo.
Adam.
Amber, you're doing
Such an amazing job,
And you're so young
And really delivered that.
Everything you could pack
Into that 90 seconds --
It was just
An incredible package.
It was -- it was perfect.
Thank you.
And, josh, it's crazy
Because stevie wonder --
His songs are impossible
To sing.
The dude just has
The craziest range on earth.
You did that song
Serious justice.
It's almost like you showed us
A whole other side of your range
That we never even knew
Existed today.
So it's gonna be tough.
Thank you.
Thank you, adam.
Blake.
Hey, josh.
I-i-i agree with adam.
I hate to say it.
Maybe christina is affecting
Change here a little bit
Because every time
You get onstage, so far,
It's another level.
And, damn it,
How do you do that?
It's called
Being a great coach.
Okay.
Amber,
How old are you again? 17.
That's pretty impressive.
Thank you, blake.
Thank you.
Christina,
What did you think?
It is very impressive.
Amber, i said, "bring
The character to this one."
I'm so happy that's the first
Thing that cee lo recognized.
I like her.
So great job.
Thank you.
And then, josh, your soul,
The way you do your runs
So effortlessly -- it's magic.
And i-i love your voice.
This is
A really hard decision.
Christina, who is the winner
Of this knockout?
Aah!
I have certain ideas that
Carry over into what's next.
I'm gonna say the winner
Of the knockout
Is...
Josh.
Josh is the winner
Of the knockout round,
Moving on to the live shows
To represent team christina!
Josh really came to play today,
And i love that josh
Keeps surprising the coaches.
It was great.
Thank you so much.
You nailed it.
I really appreciate it.
This win's for everybody
That ever believed in me --
All my family back home.
I hope you're as proud
As i am proud.
I'm going to the lives, baby.
All right, coaches,
Let me remind you
That amber nicole
Is available to steal.
You know i love you.
Amber, what would you like
To say to coach christina?
Thank you
For all your coaching.
I really
Appreciate everything
That you've given me
In the past.
It's made me become
A better artist, a better --
Whoa! we got a steal!
In the knockout round,
Cee lo green scoops up
Amber nicole!
Whoo!
Whoa!
We got another steal!
Ohh! ohh!
Blake shelton
Gets in the action, too!
Whoo!
Amber nicole is back in the game
In a big way.
Wait a minute.
What do you mean?
First cee lo green,
Then blake shelton.
Cee lo,
Why do you want to steal amber?
There's so much
That your voice has to offer.
I just think it'll be
Really resourceful,
And i think we can help
Each other win this show.
All right, cee lo.
Blake shelton.
I mean, come on.
Let's be honest.
She doesn't need to be
On your team
Because there's so many
Other artists just like her...
I don't agree with that.
She's unique, though, blake.
...on -- on your team.
I wouldn't say that she's --
She's completely unique.
There is nobody even near
What you do on my team.
And at this --
I know your team pretty well, too, and you're right.
There is no talent
On your team.
Ohh!
You know what i'm saying?
I'm saying --
No, no, no, no, no.
No, they're -- they're talented
In their own right,
But i'm just saying,
You know, man,
You -- you could use a little
Help, and i understand this --
I understand this act of
Desperation on your part, blake.
I know you want to win
Again. yes! that's right!
I know you want to win
Again.
I'm selfish
About this girl. they're fighting over you again.
I know!
I don't -- i don't
Even want to have to go through this with you, man.
Just give me the girl.
Don't -- what are you talking about?
Let her come with me.
Cee lo! cee lo!
Wait. hold on. let me see --
Amber! amber, with me!
Hold on. hold on. hold on.
Let's give amber a second.
The power's back to you.
Say what you want to say.
I do know your team,
Cee lo,
And i know you have a lot
Of great, great artists.
And i know your team,
Blake,
And you also have a lot
Of talented artists.
Thank you.
Yes, you're welcome.
But, cee lo,
I love a challenge,
And...being on your team
Will be a risk, but...
Ohh! ...i'm not intimidated.
Whoo!
Yes.
And i think that i am gonna go
With cee lo.
Ohh!
Yes!
You broke the cowboy's heart!
Amber nicole!
I stole amber because
She's got a lot of energy
And a lot of attitude.
And i just felt like maybe
She could breathe some fresh air
Into my team in the live shows.
Good luck, sweetie.
Thank you so much.
I'm going to live shows!
I love watching
Cee lo and blake fight.
It warms my heart.
When i'm holding
The season five trophy
In my hand,
I'll be sure and let cee lo know
What it feels like
To win
With absolutely no talent.
Coming up...
?you ought to know
...more incredible
Performances...
?hit the road, jack
Ow!
...have our coaches
More strategic than ever...
Don't -- don't look him in
The eye. stay with me here.
I thought that was amazing.
...as they decide
Who to take to the live shows...
I don't know
What adam's gonna do.
This is hard.
...and who to steal.
Don't even think about it,
Shelton.
What are you talking about?
Hold on! we got a steal!
Welcome back¡¾¡¿¡¾¡¿¡¾¡¿¡¾¡¿¡¾¡¿
To the knockout rounds.
Going head-to-head for this
Knockout for team cee lo,
It's kat robichaud
Versus monika leigh.
I paired kat and monika
Because they are both
Strong female vocalists.
I want to see who gives the most
Showstopping performance.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
I'm so happy to still be on
Your team and just to be here.
?i got the music in me
Getting the chairs turned
For the blinds --
I didn't think
It could get any better.
Kat robichaud moving on
To the knockouts!
And then winning the battles --
That was just
Absolutely amazing.
I just wish my dad was here.
He died in february.
But i know he's watching.
?i want you to know
?that i'm happy for you
I chose "you oughta know" by alanis morissette
Because i feel like it
Represents me as a performer --
Just this ballsy female,
Angst rock 'n' roll.
?you ought to know
?'cause the love
That you gave me ?
Is there a way
That you can come at that
In another octave,
You know?
Oh, yeah. definitely.
And then also,
Make sure you find your footing
And your timing...
Yeah.
...because it's so wordy
You can stumble.
?and every time
I scratch my nails ? 456 00:18: 00:18:30,025 ?down someone else's back, i hope you feel it ?
She's a wonderful vocalist,
But i'm looking for
The best five singers
Who can survive the live rounds.
Everything relies
On your own instinct.
This is the last performance
That's standing between me
And the live rounds.
And i am not going to get
Knocked out.
I love you for saving me.
I love you for giving me
The opportunity.
During the blind auditions,
I had adam, cee lo, and blake
Turn around for me.
Blake!
Yes!
?don't you know
That he is ?
♪some kind of wonderful♪
Losing in the battle --
It was tough.
Whoa!
To be stolen by cee lo validated
That i can still push forward.
Monika has
A really genuine soul vocal.
I'm looking forward to see
What she can do in the future.
?hit the road, jack
I am singing "hit the road,
Jack" by ray charles.
?no more, no more,
No more, no more ? 481 00:19: 00:19:27,065 i chose this song because i want to show the blues side of me
As well as this rock-'n'-roll
Side of me.
?now, baby, listen, baby,
Don't you treat me this way ?
Hopefully i can take
What blake has taught me,
But also hear
What cee lo has to say.
?you just ain't no good
It's very cool.
I just don't get it, though.
Like, who would ever leave you,
Besides blake?
I almost feel like i should be
Looking at him when i sing.
Yeah, that's right.
With that being said,
You have to sing it well.
The runs aren't as clean
When you go up higher.
Even though
It's character,
It seems like you're straining
Just a bit.
I just don't want you
To get winded.
Cee lo's right.
I want to keep learning.
I want to know how i can become
A better singer.
But if i don't give
A great performance,
There's a good chance
That i could be going home.
With "you oughta know,"
Here is kat robichaud!
?i want you to know
?that i'm happy for you
?i wish nothing but
?the best for you both
?'cause the love that you gave
That we made ?
?wasn't able to make it enough
For you to be open wide ?
?no
?and every time
You speak her name ?
?does she know how you told me
You'd hold me ?
?till you died,
Till you died? ?
?but you're still alive
?and i'm here

?it's not fair

?you, you, you ought to know

Worthy of only
Team cee lo, monika and kat.
Excellent job, ladies.
Cee lo green,
You must be so proud. yep.
Adam levine,
What did you think?
That was amazing.
You're both crazy-good singers.
Kat, you're a rock star.
You know,
Y-you really are.
A couple times, it looks like
You're about to k*ll somebody.
Maybe.
'cause you just get
Super-intense,
And you got the crazy look,
And i love it.
I love it. it scares me
Sometimes, but i love it.
And monika was a little more
Calculated physically,
As far as doing the things
That kind of come
Really naturally to you, kat.
And so this one
I have to give to kat
'cause you were just
So natural up there.
Thanks, adam.
Blake.
I don't think we've ever had
Two more talented, sexy girls
On this stage
At the same time.
I mean, it's like --
They are.
Blake, what about that time
When you and i were up there?
It's the same kind of vibe.
By the way, a lot of that anger
Was at me, wasn't it?
Which is fine.
No.
Yeah.
Anyway, i was thinking
As i watched that --
People are gonna have to, like,
Handcuff men
And drag them away
From monika's concerts.
And at kat's concerts,
They're gonna have to handcuff her.
Because you're both
So intense.
Anyway, i'm going --
I'm gonna go with my old buddy.
I'm gonna -- i'm gonna pick
Monika on this one.
Thank you, blake.
Christina.
I loved that knockout.
Monika, you were fierce.
I mean, it's not an easy task
To go on after that.
That was -- kat is crazy.
Crazy great.
Thank you.
You were like...
♪well, can you feel it♪
And i was like,
"yes, i can feel it."
I can feel it, honey.
Man,
This is a tough choice.
I was -- i was loving both
Of you for different reasons.
Thank you, coaches.
Cee lo, what did you think
Of the knockout?
You guys really represent
Each end of a spectrum.
Kat, i think what people want
To see is someone who just --
Literally just can't
Help themselves, you know?
Unmistakably genuine.
You feel me?
Yeah.
Monika, you,
On the other hand,
Some of that sultriness
Was -- was lost in translation.
With that being said,
You are a better singer
Than this performance, you know,
Allowed you to be seen as.
You know what i mean?
And i don't want to lose
Either one of you.
All right, cee lo,
Tough one here.
Who is the winner
Of this knockout?
Based off this performance
Alone...
...the winner of this knockout
Round is...
...kat.
Oh, god.
Kat, moving on!
Congratulations!
This has been so hard,
And it's so rewarding.
And i just was not ready
To go home.
I'm so happy to be here.
I can't wait to call my husband
And my mom.
All right, monika, anything
You want to say to your coach?
It's bittersweet
Because as an artist,
This isn't the end.
There's so much more
Out there.
Well, give her a big round
Of applause, everybody.
Monika leigh.
Thank you, monika.
Monika showed
A lot of heart on that stage.
Monika just didn't have
The vocal consistency
That kat nailed.
She's a definite strong
Contender on cee lo's team.
Still to come...
Team blake hits the stage...
?and i don't even know
...with knockout performances...
?i belong here
?but my heart is saying no
...that can't be missed.
?it hurts
For god's sakes,
Christina aguilera likes you,
THDaly: WELCOME BACKED
To the knockout rounds.
For this team blake knockout,
It's holly henry
Versus nic hawk.
I paired holly and nic together
Because they always add
Their own twist
Into what they're singing.
And i want to see which one
Really makes it their own
Tonight.
Congratulations.
You're still here.
Thanks to you.
?nobody...
It's slightly intimidating
That i got four chairs turned
In the blind audition.
I definitely think i made
The right choice with blake.
?but i'm a creep
I have chosen to sing "creep"
By radiohead.
And i think that the song
Is perfect for me.
?and i'm a weirdo
Yeah!
It has a haunting melody,
Which i love.
It's also really emotional.
And vocally,
I get to start quietly,
And then i just build up
Completely.
The only thing that's missing
Is some pitch issues.
?but i'm a creep
That note sticks out
Of the song anyway.
If your pitch isn't right
On it,
It's real, like,
"ooh, i can't take that."
You know what i mean?
Okay. i'll nail it.
This is a great song choice
For holly
And the type of artist
That she ultimately wants to be.
?i couldn't look you
In the eye ?
But it's
A very challenging vocal.
?you're just like
An angel ?
She's gonna have to work harder
Than she's probably
Ever had to work as a vocalist.
?but i'm a creep
This song, you can't even
Remotely lose control 'cause it's so powerful.
?and i'm a weirdo
If this performance isn't good enough,
I'm going back to nothing.
I can't afford college.
So when i go out there and sing,
I hope that blake sees
Who i am as an artist.
Nic hawk, come on down!
Thank you so much
For stealing me, honestly.
I was crazy-happy
When i was stolen by blake.
Oh, adam,
You screwed up so bad!
Blake said he stole me
Because of my stage presence.
I'm just blessed
Because it's my opportunity
To give back to my family.
And so i really, really want
To win this knockout.
I just want to help you.
And it doesn't hurt that
I stole you from adam's team.
Yeah. i want to show him
What he missed out on.
That's what it's all about
Right now, man.
Yes, you are.
For the knockout rounds,
I'll be singing
"genie in a bottle"
By christina aguilera.
But i'm changing it up
To the point
Where it's almost like
A neo-soul song.
?i'm a genie
In a bottle ?
It's always a risk to do
One of the coach's songs,
But this is a great choice
Because he's changing
The arrangement
And making it more
About showcasing
What a great vocalist he is.
When he really hits a big note,
It's always perfect.
But that low-range stuff,
He was all over the map.
If the pitch is here,
You're consistently
Right here under it.
If you heard that right now,
You'd go, "oh, damn it!"
Yeah.
If i don't nail
The lower register,
It's a really strong possibility
That i could be going home.
Just make sure
That the singing is 150%.
With "creep,"
Here is holly henry.
?when you were here before
?i couldn't look you
In the eye ?
?you're just like an angel
?yeah, your skin makes me cry
?but i'm a creep
?yeah, i'm a weirdo
?what the hell
Am i doing here? ?
?oh, i don't belong here
?oh, she's running
Out the do-o-o-or ?
?oh, she's running out
?she runs, runs, runs
?ru-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-ns
?oh, she ru-u-u-u-ns
?but i'm a creep
?and i don't belong here
Coming up...
?i'm a genie in a bottle
?you gotta rub me
The right way ?
...will nic's twist
On a christina song...
Ohh, you just brought me
Back down memory lane.
...pay off with a spot on blake's team?
The winner
Of this knockout...
Or will he be hoping
For another steal?
You took a risk
With this song.
Welcome back to "the voice."¡¾¡¿¡¾¡¿¡¾¡¿¡¾¡¿¡¾¡¿
With "genie in bottle,"
Here's nic hawk.
?i feel like i've been
Locked up tight ?
?for a century
Of lonely nights ?
?waiting for someone
To release me ?
?you're lickin' your lips
And blowing kisses my way ?
?but that don't mean
I'm gonna give it away ?
?baby, baby, baby
?ohh
?ohh, ohh, ohh
?my body's sayin', "let's go"
?ohh, ohh, ohh
?but my heart is sayin',
"no, no" ?
?if you wanna be with me
?baby, there's a price to pay
?i'm a genie in a bottle
?you gotta rub me
The right way ?
?if you wanna be with me
?i can make your wish
Come true ?
?just come and set me free,
Baby ?
?and i'll be with you
?i'm a genie in a bottle,
Baby ?
?gotta rub me the right way,
Honey ?
?i'm a genie in a bottle,
Baby ?
?come, come,
Come on and let me out ?
Well, there you go!
Nic and holly!
Well, coach blake shelton,
You can have a second to
Marinate on that knockout round.
Christina,
We'll start with you.
First of all, love that song --
"creep," radiohead.
I just love
When women are fearless.
And i applaud
And respect that a lot.
Thank you.
And, mr. "genie in a bottle,"
Ohh, you just brought me
Back down memory lane.
And you took a risk
With this song.
You revamped it.
And i'm all for someone
Coming on the stage
And making it their own.
You both showed a lot of bravery
Out there on that stage.
This is a toss-up.
This is truly
Personal preference.
Thank you, christina.
Adam.
Holly, you know,
I-i've been a fan of yours,
And i've been wanting
To see more.
I thought the emotion
That you were showing
Did tend to overcome
Some of the performance.
Nic, i miss you, too, man.
I mean, i-i really miss you.
I love you.
Every day. every day.
I love you, blake.
I cry myself to sleep every night,
And i think about you
Before i go to bed.
Word.
Even though i'm your coach,
I can't say that.
No, but seriously, i would go
With -- with you, nic.
All right, blake,
It all comes down to you.
Well, i'm happy and i'm sad
Right now
Because i don't think there's
A better display of two artists
Who have a vision
Of who they want to be,
And it's working.
I mean, that's why everybody
Goes, "oh, my gosh.
I'm on board with you.
Totally on board with you."
I mean, holly,
You were as invested
In that performance
As you could be.
You were giving it.
And it worked.
Thank you.
I felt it.
For god's sakes,
Christina aguilera likes you,
And she doesn't like
Anybody.
And...nic,
You are confident
In being who you are
And owning it
For yourself.
And then a bigger step
Is displaying it for the world.
And you're proud
To do that.
Blake, who's the winner
Of this knockout?
God dang it, i mean,
That's apples and oranges.
And it truly is.
And because you're on
Two opposite ends
Of the spectrum as artists,
That's where it's tough for me.
Uh...
The winner of this knockout
Is nic.
Nic hawk moves on
To the live shows!
I'm shocked that i won.
To be against somebody
Who's so gifted, like holly,
It means the world to me.
I'm going to the live rounds!
Whoo!
I'm so happy i stole nic
From adam in the battles
Because he addressed
All the notes i gave him,
Delivered a great vocal,
And i think he's one
Of the most unique
And entertaining personalities
We've seen on this show.
Give her a big round
Of applause.
Holly henry, everybody.
Good luck, sweetie.
You did great.
I was really proud
Of that knockout round.
I'm really sad to see holly go.
I just want you to know...
Yeah.
...what's important
Is that you're so young
And you know who you are
And who the artist is
That you want to be, okay?
Thank you.
Just remember that.
Thank you.
It breaks my heart.
Ugh.
I thought i was gonna be more
Interested in stealing holly
Because she had a great blind,
And then she's been
A little shaky ever since.
I think she's talented,
But i felt like
I couldn't really take the risk
To press my button.
It breaks my heart.
Coming up...
?hey, he-e-e-e-y
...two of team adam's artists
Who got four-chair turns
Go head-to-head in a knockout
Round that will blow you away...
?what doesn't k*ll you makes
You stro-o-o-o-o-o-nger ?
...and may have both singers
Moving on to the live show.
Welcome back to the knockout rounds.¡¾¡¿¡¾¡¿¡¾¡¿¡¾¡¿¡¾¡¿
Competing in this knockout
From team adam --
It's ashley dubose
Versus tessanne chin.
Ashley and tessanne --
I think that they
Belong together in a way
Because they'll occupy
A very similar spot on my team.
They're both powerful singers.
This really is
A battle of power.
What's up, ashley?
I'm very happy to be here.
Awesome.
I did not see myself
Moving forward, so...
You got to start
Seeing yourself advancing.
?like diamonds in the sky
For my blind audition,
My heart was beating so hard.
I work full time
As a program analyst.
In addition, i've been
A single parent for three years.
I never thought i was gonna get
All four chairs.
Your voice just overtook
The room.
And i think that you definitely
Could win.
I'm gonna go with adam.
Yes!
So, what song
Are you gonna do for me?
I'm singing "hey, soul sister"
By train.
Huh.
That's an interesting choice.
?he-e-e-e-y
I picked this song because
So far in the competition,
People have seen
A more serious side of me,
And i think this song shows
A more fun, upbeat side of me.
?tonight
Nice, i like that!
I like that.
I don't question that decision
For a second.
Once hearing her
Do "soul sister," i dig what she did to it.
I think it's really cool.
I like how she's
A bit of a chameleon.
I-i like to be able to say
You never know what someone's
Gonna do week to week.
That makes it
Much more interesting.
And i think
In the beginning...
?hey, he-e-e-y
I don't want you to embellish
It, really, at all.
Okay.
Hold them out, so...
?he-e-e-y, he-e-e-y
Parts like that are great
When you sing with an audience.
You want them
To sing with you.
?hey
Ashley tends to change
And embellish a lot,
But she's got a cool sound.
If she can keep the rest of it
In control,
She'll be in good shape.
Well, congrats.
Thank you.
I'm proud of what i've achieved
In jamaica,
But now i'm standing in front
Of mr. adam levine.
That's a big thing.
?tell me,
Are you just getting by? ?
I'm stepping out of a completely
Different world.
And now is a time
To go to the next level.
?where there is desire,
There is gonna be a flame ?
You got something
Crazy-special.
I want it bad.
I think i'm gonna go
With adam.
I chose adam because he can
Cross genres very easily.
And i want to grow.
?what doesn't k*ll you
Makes you stronger ?
I'll be singing "stronger"
By kelly clarkson
For the knockouts.
I chose this song
Because the message is amazing,
And i want to showcase my vocals
In this specific way.
?hey
Ugh.
Oh, man, listen.
Ugh.
I know
You didn't like that. no.
I'm a little hoarse,
That's all.
Let's just say
That was your worst.
That was still crazy.
But when you were holding out
That one note,
Was that the right note?
Yes. don't push too hard.
If there's anyone who's capable
Of belting out
A huge kelly clarkson song,
It's tessanne.
So if this is her on a bad day,
We're in good shape.
Take care of your voice.
Don't be yelling and screaming.
Mnh-mnh.
I'm frustrated because i know
What i'm capable of,
And this isn't it.
I feel like i've just
Scratched the surface
Of what i know i can become.
With "hey, soul sister,"
Here is ashley dubose.
?hey, he-e-e-e-y
?he-e-e-e-y
?your lipstick stains
?on the front lobe
Of my left-side brains ?
?mm
?i knew i wouldn't forget you
?and so i went and let you
Blow my mind ?
?wh-o-o-o-oa
?hey, soul sister
?ain't that mr. mister
On the radio, stereo ?
?the way you move ain't fair,
You know ?
?hey, soul sister
?i don't wanna miss
A single thing you do ?
?hey, tonight
?the way you can cut a rug
?watching you
Is the only drug i need ?
?so gangster, i'm so thug
?you're the only one
I'm dreaming of ?
?you see,
I can be myself now finally ?
?in fact,
There's nothing i can't be ?
?i want the world to see
You'll be with me ?
?hey, soul sister
?i don't wanna miss
A single thing you do ?
?ohh, tonight
?hey, he-e-e-e-y
?he-e-e-e-e-y
?yeah, tonight
Coming up...
?what doesn't k*ll you
Makes you stronger ?
...tessanne gives it her all
To make it to the live show.
?stronge-e-e-e-r
And later...
?so i'm already gone
...more of the coaches'
Best singers face off...
?you're no good,
You're no good, you're no good ? 1115 00:52: 00:52:37,987 ...in our most competitive knockouts ever.
sh**t!
Could shakira come back,
Please?
This is hard.
WELCOME BACK TO THE KNOCKOUT ROUNDS.¡¾¡¿¡¾¡¿¡¾¡¿¡¾¡¿¡¾¡¿
And now with "stronger
,"
Here is tessanne chin.
?you know the bed
Feels warmer ?
?sleeping here alone
?you know i dream in color
?and do the things i want
?you think you've got
The best of me ?
?think you've had
The last laugh ?
?bet you think that everything
Good is gone ?
?think that i'd be
Broken down ?
?that i'd come running back
?baby, you don't know me
'cause you're dead wrong ?
?what doesn't k*ll you
Makes you stronger ?
?stand a little taller
?doesn't mean i'm lonely
When i'm alone ?
?what doesn't k*ll you
Makes a fighter ?
?footsteps even lighter
?doesn't mean i'm over

?what doesn't k*ll you
Makes you ?
?stronger, stronger
?just me, myself, and i

Makes you stro-o-o-o-o-nger ?
?what doesn't k*ll you
Makes you stronger ?
?stronger, stronger
?strong-e-e-e-e-e-e-er
?what doesn't k*ll you
Makes you stronger ?
?ooooooooooh
That is a knockout
For team adam to move on
To the live shows.
Adam, we'll give you a minute
To think about it.
Coaches,
We'll start with christina.
Ashley,
I saw you deliver
The best in the moment
That -- that you could.
And, tessanne, kelly clarkson --
She's a great singer.
And you made it
Sound easy.
And then you took it to a whole
Other level, which was crazy.
I can't say enough.
High praise
From coach christina.
Thank you.
Cee lo.
Ashley, you do have this
Ethereal star quality about you.
And i think you have
This very coffee-and-cigarette
Kind of quality in your voice,
Which is very charming.
And you really strike me
As something special.
And then tess
Has a more lioness
Kind of quality,
Like, you know...
Grr.
...like the way that you commanded the stage today.
Great job
By both of you girls.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
Thank you, cee lo.
Adam, it's all up to you.
Tess,
We talked about artistry,
Wanting to break free
Of what you did,
Do something different.
I mean, ashley,
I-it's not dissimilar.
I think you both have
Those aspirations as artists.
And i think that's kind of
What forced me to do this,
Thinking to myself,
"all right,
"what person will best represent
The one who is unafraid
To venture out
And try new things?"
This is tough,
But it's time to move forward
With the people who are
The strongest right now,
Not the people who could be
The strongest next week --
The people who are
In the position, i think,
To -- to win
The whole thing.
And the winner
Of this knockout is...
...tessanne.
Tessanne is the winner
Of the knockout round.
That means she moves on
To the live shows
Representing team adam.
My heart is beating
So strong right now.
I was nervous.
I'm not gonna lie.
I'm super-excited.
I can't wait.
A big hand for ashley dubose,
Everybody.
Ashley's a great singer.
She had four buttons pushed
For her.
Always sad
To see people go home.
But adam has a total gem
With tessanne.
I think i'm gonna be able
To watch this back
And feel proud of myself.
It's not a loss at all.
I feel like a winner.
Next, going voice to voice
For this knockout
From team blake,
It's briana cuoco...
...versus shelbie z.
Briana and shelbie z.
Are both always well-prepared
To perform,
But i want to see which one
Can bring the passion tonight.
Thank you so much
For saving.
Absolutely,
Are you kidding me?
We're gonna make somebody
Look really stupid.
That's all
I've got to say.
?spend your life...
In the battle rounds, i lost.
And blake came in and stole me.
Yes!
I really feel like i am
The lucky one in this situation.
Not all the artists get
To work with christina aguilera
And blake,
Who's one of the biggest
Country artists in the world.
She's definitely somebody
That's this close
To being ready
To go on to the live shows.
?don't speak
?i know
WHAT YOU'RE THINKIN' ? 1289 01:01: 01:01:11,684 Briana: I PICKED "DON'T SPEAK" BECAUSE IN THE BATTLE ROUNDS,
I got to show off
My bluesy side,
But now i want to show
A little bit of the rock side.
?...kno-o-o-o-w
Do you ever feel like
You're losing control?
It hasn't sunk in for me yet,
And i don't know why.
Sometimes being simple
And straightforward
Really connects on tv.
Yeah.
Too much icing,
Not enough cake.
I just made that up.
It was perfect, though.
I love this song choice
For briana because it's risky.
And i also worry about this song
Choice for the same reason.
Anyone really can go home.
I don't want it to be me.
I love working for my sister,
But this is what i want to do
With my life.
Let's do it
One more time. cool.
?don't even know
His last name ?
I picked "last name"
By carrie underwood
Because i compete a lot
In singing contests,
And i win every time
I sing that song.
?say what happens here
Stays here ?
?all of
This'll disappear ? 1313 01:02: 01:02:07,773 you ran out of air in the same spot.
Always happens there.
She's having trouble
Finding a spot to breathe.
She's got to take a deep breath
And finish out that verse.
And that's the only --
Like, from here to here is all one breath.
I know. i know.
If i work really hard
On my breath control,
I do believe
I can win this knockout.
What are you gonna do
With the stage?
Yeah, i'm gonna have fun.
You gonna work it?
Oh, yeah. definitely.
Yeah.
This is your chance to --
To really show everybody
Who shelbie z. is.
So use it.
I'm excited about it.
Yeah. me too.
I have come from
A very small town in alabama.
And i don't want to go back
To doing hair, doing pageants.
I'm not ready for that at all.
I don't see any reason
Why shelbie
Can't make a name for herself
On the country scene.
But if there is a mess-up,
That's gonna be
A huge red flag for me
Because it's a song
That she should know
Like the back of her hand.
With "don't speak,"
Here is briana cuoco.
?you and me
?we used to be together
?every day together always
?it looks as though
?you're letting go
?and if it's real,
Well, i don't want to know ?
?don't speak
?i know just what
You're saying ?
?so please stop explaining
?don't tell me
'cause it hurts ?

To the knockout rounds.
With "last name,"
Here is shelbie z.
?last night, i got served
?a little bit too much
Of that poison, baby ?
?last night,
I did things i'm not proud of ? 1442 01:09: 01:09:26,078 ?and i got a little crazy
?last night, i met a guy
?on the dance floor
?and i let him call me "baby"
?and i don't even know
His last name ?
?well, my mama
Would be so ashamed ?
?it started off, "hey, cutie,
Where you from?" ?
?and then it turned into,
"oh, no, what have i done?" ?
?and i don't even know
His last name ?
?today, i woke up
?thinking about elvis
Somewhere in vegas ?
?i'm not sure how i got here

?oh, yeah
There you go!
A knockout round for team blake!
Blake,
I know you're proud.
Let's get some comments.
Christina,
What do you got?
Bri, i'm so happy you found
A home on team blake.
And i've always loved
That song.
I definitely noticed
You did your own thing to it.
There were pitch problems
On some of the things.
I know you felt that.
But you recovered,
And you had a strong finish.
And, shelbie,
I think that was
The most, maybe,
Confident performance
In the knockouts
At this point i've seen.
I'm a fan.
Thank you.
Thank you, christina.
Cee lo green,
What did you think?
Briana, i think you sounded
Great, as usual.
I just think that it was
A very solemn moment, you know?
And i wanted to be excited
About the spirit
And the enthusiasm
To be higher. yeah.
Shelbie, wow. i mean,
What a great performance.
Like, so much presence and charm
And personality and --
If i had to pick someone,
I'd say shelbie z.
Thank you so much.
All right, thank you, coaches.
Coach blake,
It all comes down to you.
These are the two
Hardest-working artists
On my team.
It's one thing to --
To look down the road
And make your decision,
You know, based on what you
Think can happen with somebody.
But it's another thing
When somebody
Just flat-out
Outsings the other.
And that's what i feel like
Has happened here.
The winner of this knockout
Is shelbie z.
Shelbie z. moves on
To the live rounds
Representing team blake.
Congratulations!
My confidence
Has been a long time coming.
But to hear all the coaches
Give me such good feedback,
It means the world to me.
You did it, sis.
Congratulations.
I chose shelbie z. because she's
Such an accomplished vocalist.
She's definitely ready
For the live shows.
Great.
Team blake -- impressive.
But i'm confident that my team
Is gonna compete and conquer.
Briana, anything you want
To say to coach blake shelton?
Yeah, i mean,
Just thank you
For giving me a second chance
On here.
And i think you're awesome.
And thank you so much.
Give it up for briana,
Everybody!
Thank you, bri.
I just had a suspicion that the song wouldn't be enough.
And i was right.
I am so sad
To be leaving "the voice."
But it's been
A really great opportunity.

The knockout rounds.
Going voice to voice
For this team adam knockout,
It's grey versus james irwin.
Grey and james
Are both really
Technically wonderful singers,
But i want to see
Who can take it up a notch
And show me more emotion.
?i want you to know
For the knockout round,
I'm gonna be singing
Kelly clarkson's "already gone."
It's a breakup song.
Everybody's been there.
That's the artist
That i want to be.
I want to be a storyteller.
?now all our memories,
They're haunted ?
I think it's pocket.
Okay.
?all the things
We wanted ?
It's like it's very
Singy-songy,
And sometimes it can slow down
A little bit and get behind.
Okay.
It was a great note
To stay on the beat.
It's not like blues music
Where you get to sit behind,
And it works.
?oh, go-o-o-o-o-ne
You shouldn't
Sing that falsetto
'cause i'll tell you
Right now -- aguilera --
She's gonna say something
About that.
Okay.
Unless you do it.
And you can hit
Those notes.
And when you kind of get
That gritty upper register,
It doesn't sound like
You're straining.
It's really soulful
And cool. okay.
Don't fret that at all.
Okay.
Seeing her get better and
Better as the show's progressed
Has made me really excited
About grey.
I think you have one of
The purest voices i've heard.
You have to believe that
About yourself to be as good as you can be.
I really don't want to go
Back to singing at weddings.
I really want to move forward
And -- and continue this journey
That i'm on.
?still alive,
BUT I'M BARELY BREATHING ? 1617 01:19: 01:19:06,841 James: FOR THE KNOCKOUT ROUNDS,
I'm singing "breakeven"
By the script.
?what am i
Supposed to do? ?
I chose this song because it has
A large section of the chorus
That has a very high part,
And i wanted to show adam
That i can hit those notes.
?yeah,
I'm falling to pieces ? 1624 01:19: 01:19:25,460 that's about as good as it gets, technically.
I want to be more moved
By what you're doing up there. right.
I think that it comes down
To, like, convincing us
That he means what he's singing.
You know, and if he does that,
He'll be very, very,
Very potent.
?what am i
Supposed to do ?
?when the best part of me
Was always you? ?
Just channeling the things
That i've been through
In my life --
Losing my daughters.
Sometimes that stuff
Makes you feel
Like you're falling to pieces.
I will be able to convey
The emotion behind the song.
Bro, that was like 5 million
Times better, dude.
Thanks, man.
Last season,
I wasn't successful,
But i'm back again.
If you get knocked down,
You just keep getting back up.
And i came to win.
With "already gone,"
Here's grey.
?remember all the things
We wanted ?
?now our memories,
They're haunted ?
?we were always meant
To say goodbye ?
?even with our fists
Held high, yeah ?
?it never would have worked out
Right, yeah ?
?we were never meant
For do or die ?
?i didn't want us to burn out
?i -- i didn't come here
To hurt you ?
?now i can't stop
?i want you to know
?that it doesn't matter
?where we take this road
?someone's gotta go
?and i want you to know
?you couldn't ever love me
Better ?
?so i want you to move on
?so i'm already gone
?i'm already gone
?gone
?oh, go-o-o-o-o-ne
?remember all the things
We wanted ?
?and now our memories,
They're haunted ?
?we were always meant
To say goodbye ?
Good job, grey.
With "breakeven,"
Here's james irwin.
?i'm still alive,
But i'm barely breathing ?
?just prayin' to a god
That i don't believe in ?
?'cause i got time
While she got freedom ?
?and when the heart breaks,
No, it don't break even ?
?even, no
?so what am i supposed to do
?when the best part of me
Was always you? ?
?and what am i
Supposed to say ?
?when i'm all choked up
And you're okay? ?
?i'm falling to pieces
?yeah
?i'm falling to pieces
?'cause you left me
With no love ?
?with no love to my name
?i'm still alive,
But i'm barely breathing ?
?just prayin' to a god
That i don't believe in ?
?'cause i got time
While she got freedom ?
?and when the heart breaks,
No, it don't break ?
?no, it don't break,
No, it don't break even ?
?so what am i supposed to do
?when the best part of me
Was always you? ?
?and what am i
Supposed to say ?
?when i'm all choked up
And you're okay? ?
?i'm falling to pieces
?yeah
?i'm falling to pieces
Great knockout round
For team adam.
We'll give you a second,
Adam.
Blake,
What did you think?
Grey versus anybody --
You had to have been, james,
Going, "god, dang it!"
Yep. yep.
But, man, grey,
I got to say
You left the door open a little
Bit there f-for james.
He did a great job.
And, james,
I think for the first time,
I really heard
The warmth of your voice.
I think james won that,
In my opinion.
Christina.
Thank you.
Grey, at the end,
You went from holding out
A belted note
And flipped it over
To the falsetto
And then brought it home
All the way down.
At first, i thought,
"did she mean to do that?"
But then i thought,
"hmm, how interesting."
Because it had
A good follow-through.
I'm happy that you caught that
'cause i noticed that, too.
Yeah, and, james,
You have this really rich tone
That comes across
On your voice.
And then when you start
To go high,
You still were accurate
In holding the note,
And i didn't hear pitchiness
With it.
And for that, i did hear
Improvement for you, james.
So nice job.
Thank you.
Thanks, christina.
Cee lo,
What did you think?
Grey, you got a chance to show
A lot of character,
Like just the theatrics
In that down-shift.
I thought that was amazing.
Thank you.
I had never seen anything quite like that.
I was like, "that's --"
I said, "damn, she did that."
Thank you.
Thanks.
And then, james, you know,
You do have range.
When you get up there, though,
It does seem like
There's a ceiling there,
But great job equally
On both you guys' parts. thank you.
Thank you, coaches.
Adam, it is all up to you.
What do you think?
Grey, we've talked
This whole note thing to death,
But you have
A crazy-powerful voice.
I would say that was the one
Little, tiny, itty-bitty thing
That i could criticize,
But it's also as equally
Impressive as it is strange.
And, james,
You backed off the mike,
But you were hitting
Those notes.
You made it a lot harder for me
Right now
Because you were both
Fantastic.
All right, adam, who is
The winner of this knockout?
Um...
Uh...
I think i know
What i want to do.
The winner of this knockout
Round is...
This is hard.
Welcome back
To the knockout rounds.
?so i'm already gone
Before the break, grey and james
Took the stage...
?i'm falling to pieces
...leaving adam with
A tough decision to make.
Um...
This is hard.
James, you've got everything
That one would need
To go
Extraordinarily far.
Grey, y-you have the power
To win this whole thing.
I really do commend both of you,
And i'm proud of both of you.
The winner of
This knockout round is grey.
Grey is the winner of the
Knockout round for team adam
And moves on
To the live shows.
Congratulations.
You deserve it.
James irwin did a fantastic job,
But grey is a little more
Further along.
She's not necessarily
At the very, very top,
But she could easily get there.
I never thought
That i would get this far.
Never.
A big hand
For james irwin, everybody.
Thanks, bro.
Best to your family.
Thanks, man.
It's disappointing, but making it this far has been awesome.
I'm definitely gonna continue
My musical pursuits.
And you will be seeing
A lot of me in the future.
I really felt
Like james delivered
A more solid performance.
But i still don't feel like
He was right for my team.
Next, going voice to voice
For a team christina knockout,
It's destinee quinn
Versus olivia henken.
Destinee and olivia --
I have them paired together
Because in lining up my team,
There was only room for one
Country artist moving forward.
?i will see you again
I picked "see you again"
Because it has a really deep,
Personal meaning to me.
This year, my family lost
Two amazing women --
My great-grandmother
And my cousin brandi --
A week before this song
Came out.
I'm so happy that destinee
Got to choose her own song
On this one
Because she is coming from
A true emotional place.
Take a moment
Before you hit the last...
?say goodbye
Take that moment
To breathe.
And the last note actually
Was a little pitchy.
So maybe it's just like a...
?gone
You want to end
On a really strong note,
And that sometimes is,
Like, simple.
If i lose this knockout,
I'm still gonna gig
At the biker bars,
But i really don't want
To go home.
I want to continue
And go on to the live rounds.
You have to live in the moment
And just live the song.
The song is so big that by the
End of it, my voice is tired.
And i know
I need to get it spot-on
So when it comes time
For the performance,
I'll nail it
And blow christina away.
?you're no good,
You're no good ?
I'm singing "you're no good"
By linda ronstadt
For the knockout round.
?ohh
This song takes country,
Pop, and rock,
And it showcases who i am
As an artist perfectly.
There's a scoop in there that
I don't think you need to...
?ohh
'cause you just got off
Of that note from extending,
Then you dip
Into that note again.
Like, it's
A repetitive thing. okay.
We need to take it away
From karaokeville.
I love olivia's spirit.
She lights up a room,
But she came in trying to pick
Every single moment
For a powerhouse vocal.
?ohh, you're no good,
You're no good ?
Not everything has to be
This crazy-big note.
Choose your moments
Because it's just gonna make
Those amazing high notes
Stand out that much more.
Bring it back to,
Like, the story
'cause, you know,
The battles, the knockouts --
It all kind of gets
In your head.
Yeah.
Bring it back
To the song.
If i don't win this knockout,
I'm gonna go back to work
At my grandma's tax office.
It's not my favorite job
In the world.
I'd much rather be singing.
Thank you so much.
All right?
You're welcome.
With "see you again,"
Here is destinee quinn.
?ohh
?said goodbye, turned around
?and you were gone,
Gone, gone ?
?faded into the setting sun
?and slipped away
?but i won't cry
?'cause i know
I'll never be lonely ?
?for you are the stars to me
?you are the light i follow
?i will see you again
?who-o-o-a
?this is not where it ends
?i will carry you with me
?ohh
?till i see you again
?ohh
?o-o-o-o-o-o-o-ooh
?till i see you
Aga-a-a-a-a-in ?
?yeah
?ohh
?till i see you again
?said goodbye, turned around
?and you were gone, gone
?go-o-o-o-ne
With "you're no good,"
Here is olivia henken.
?feelin' better
Now that we're through ?
?feelin' better
'cause i'm over you ?
?i learned my lesson
?it left a scar
?but now i see
How you really are ?
?you're no good,
You're no good, you're no good ? 1934 01:35: 01:35:29,106 ?baby, you're no good
?ohh, no
?i broke a heart
?that's gentle and true
?well, i broke a heart
Over someone like you ?
?i'll beg his forgiveness
On bended knees ?
?but i wouldn't blame him
If he said to me ?
?you're no good,
You're no good, you're no good ? 1942 01:35: 01:35:56,934 ?baby, you're no good
?i'm gonna say it again
?you're no good,
You're no good, you're no good ? 1945 01:36: 01:36:06,877 ?baby, you're no go-o-o-o-od
?oh, no
?i'm telling you now, baby,
And i'm goin' my way ?
?forget about you, baby,
'cause i'm leaving to stay ?
?you're no good,
You're no good, you're no good ? 1950 01:36: 01:36:23,394 ?baby, you're no good
?ohh, ohh, ohh
?you're no good,
You're no good, you're no good ? 1953 01:36: 01:36:37,508 ?baby, you're no go-o-o-o-o-od ?
Olivia and destinee
In a knockout round!
All right,
Coach christina,
A few minutes
To think about that.
Let's get some thoughts,
Adam.
It's really strong
On both sides.
I heard more issues with you,
Olivia,
Even though you gave
An amazing performance.
Destinee, you got a little
Nervous in the beginning,
And then you kind of
Figured it out.
And you had these big,
Long, amazing notes.
So it's pretty dead-even.
Thank you.
Blake.
There were great things
About each of your performances,
And then
There were problems.
The problems
Were also equal.
Destinee,
Your performance
Was consistently
Just a little bit flat.
You were just getting
Right there.
And, olivia,
You were consistently sharp.
You were singing over the note
Almost the entire time, too.
I personally go for someone
Who sings a little bit sharp.
So having said that, i would
Probably go with olivia.
Thank you.
All right, christina,
The decision is yours.
Destinee,
You operate on emotion,
And i've always loved that
About you.
If croaks and things happen,
That's genuine emotion,
And that's what music
Should be about.
Olivia, we've all been guilty
Of letting nerves take over
At one time or another.
Definitely.
And i think both of you
Let nerves
Kind of take over
A little bit.
Christina, tough one --
Who is the winner
Of this knockout?
We are talking about
"the voice,"
And i still feel like
There are great things to...
sh**t!
It's hard.
I don't want
To do this show.
Can shakira come back,
Please?
This is hard.
Um...
All right, um...
The winner of this knockout
Is olivia.
Olivia henken,
Congratulations!
You're moving on
To the live rounds!
Well,
We gave great performances,
But i know
That that wasn't my best.
I let nerves get to me
A little bit i think,
But i'm so excited
To still be on team christina.
I can't wait to see
What's in store.
Olivia just had
A little bit more skill
And experience to her voice.
I think she also just has
Such a genuine heart.
A big hand for destinee quinn,
Everybody.
Thank you so much, destinee.
Best of luck to you.
I have no regrets.
I laid my heart on the stage.
Just the fact
That christina aguilera
Believed in me -- it's amazing.
I didn't steal destinee
Because i have a female
Country singer on my team,
And i'm trying to figure out
What her road is gonna be like.
Coming up...
?only know you love her
When you let her go ?
...two of cee lo's favorites
Take the stage.
These are my two
Biggest regrets right here.
Will one go home,
Or will there be a steal?
Welcome back¡¾¡¿¡¾¡¿¡¾¡¿¡¾¡¿¡¾¡¿
To the knockout rounds.
Let's see where our coaches'
Teams stand.
Adam chose versatile
Pop and r&b singer grey
And jamaican pop artist
Tessanne chin.
Blake picked pop artist nic hawk
And powerhouse country singer
Shelbie z.
Christina chose rock singer
Josh logan
And country artist
Olivia henken.
And cee lo picked glam rocker
Kat robichaud
And stole 17-year-old
Pop vocalist amber nicole.
Now it's time for
The final knockout of the night.
Next, two team cee lo artists
Go voice to voice
For this knockout.
It's cole vosbury
Versus jonny gray.
Cole and jonny
Have two different styles,
But both have grassroots appeal.
I need to see who makes
The biggest connection
With the audience.
First up, man,
Tell me about this song.
I chose this song
'cause so far,
I've only done old,
Upbeat kind of stuff.
?i'm movin' on up
Singing
"the jeffersons" theme song
For my blind audition
Was kind of risky. "jeffersons"? yes!
And then
When cee lo's chair turned,
It felt like a dream, really.
The person who would pick to do
"the jeffersons" theme song
Has got to be a badass.
I had to turn around
For you. yes. yes.
Yes!
?well, you only need the light
When it's burning low ?
I'll be singing
"let her go" by passenger.
Hopefully i can shed
Some new light on this song
'cause it doesn't seem to be
Very well-known.
I chose it because every song
I write is this type of song.
It's me and the acoustic
And the melody and the lyrics.
?let her go,
Who-o-o-a ?
You should be
Completely impassioned
Because this is an opportunity
To say to the world,
"good, bad, or indifferent,
This is me."
And just push it
To the limit, man. right.
?staring at the bottom
Of your glass ?
With this song, i've got to put
My whole heart into it
And just make sure
That the world connects
With my performance.
?only know you love her
When you let her go ?
?wh-o-o-o-o-o-oa
I love it 'cause even when you
Hit those higher registers,
You still keep control
'cause your cool
Is gonna be one of the most
Attractive things about you.
If he controls his vocal
And completely commits,
He can really make this song
A special moment
In not only his life,
But many others.
How are you, sir?
Hey, thank you for picking me.
Ohh.
I appreciate it.
Jonny, you're gonna
Become something undeniable.
Being chosen to win
The battle was amazing.
Then i was a little bit sad
Because i had to knock out
My good friend shawn.
We're both military vets.
But to get to those live shows
Would mean everything.
Thank you so much.
I want to be cee lo's
First winner of the show.
?try to see it my way
I'm doing "we can work it out."
This band
Is definitely representative
Of the artist that i want to be.
They have true lyrics
That everybody can connect with.
And that's really
What it's all about.
?work it out
?think of what
You're sayin' ?
Jonny has an awful lot
Of potential.
I think he has a great voice,
A great personality.
And i think it was
A really cool song choice.
Ohh!
I love your voice.
I love the song.
Almost everyone
Will know that record.
Right.
So you have to use that
To your advantage
And really address
Each area of audience
And just make sure that -- "come
On, like, you know the song."
Get them going with the --
Like something like this.
?for fussing and fighting,
My friends ?
You know what i'm saying?
Like -- like everyone.
Everybody.
?for fussing and fighting,
My friends ?
And i think he's strong,
But he has
A little bit of work to do
As far as stage presence
And commanding the audience.
With "let her go,"
Here is cole vosbury.
?well, you only need the light
When it's burning low ?
?only miss the sun
When it starts to snow ?
?only know you love her
When you let her go ?
?ohh
?and you let her go
?staring at the bottom
Of your glass ?
?hoping one day
You'll make a dream last ?
?but dreams come slow,
And they go so fast ?
?yeah, yeah
?you see her
When you close your eyes ?
?maybe one day,
You'll understand why ?
?everything you touch
Surely dies ?
?but you only need the light
When it's burning low ?
?only miss the sun
When it starts to snow ?
?only know you love her
When you let her go ?
?ohh, ohh
?only know you've been high
When you're feeling low ?
?only hate the road
When you're missin' home ?
?only know you love her
When you let her go ?
?but you only need the light
When it's burning low ?
?only miss the sun
When it starts to snow ?
Oh, yeah.
?only know you love her
When you let her go ?
?ooooooooooh
?and you let her go
Thank you.
Coming up...
The final knockout
Of the night...
I don't care who he picks.
I'm picking the other one.
...has our coaches
Fighting like never before...
We got a steal!
...to steal a new artist
For their team.
You have something so special
About your voice.
Don't even think about it,
Shelton.
I already did.
It's too late.
He's very charming.
Don't look him in the eye.
Stay with me here.
We're good over here --
You and me.
WELCOME BACK TO THE KNOCKOUT ROUNDS.¡¾¡¿¡¾¡¿¡¾¡¿¡¾¡¿¡¾¡¿
Now with "we can work it out,"
Here is jonny gray.
?try to see it my way
?do i have to keep on talking
Till i can't go on? ?
?while i see it your way
?run the risk of knowing
That our love may soon be gone ? 2254 01:53: 01:53:49,839 ?we can work it out
?we can work it out
?think of what you're saying
?we can get it wrong and still
We think that it's all right ? 2258 01:53: 01:54:01,350 ?think of what i'm saying
?we can work it out and get it
Straight or say good night ?
?we can work it out
?life is very short
?and there's no ti-i-i-me
?for fussing and fighting,
My friends ?
?i have always thought
That it's a cri-i-i-me ?
?so i will ask you once again
?try to see it my way
?only time will tell
If i am right or i am wrong ?
?while i see it your way
?there's a chance that we may
Fall apart before too long ?
?we can work it out
?we can work it o-o-o-o-o-out
And there you have it --
A tough knockout round
For team cee lo.
Let's get
Some coaches' comments.
Adam,
What did you think?
These are my two
Biggest regrets right here,
Sitting with the hats
And the long, beautiful hair.
Cole, i'm so mad still that
I didn't turn around for you.
Jonny, i didn't fight
Hard enough for you, man.
I still love you,
Brother.
But i think you're both
Spectacular.
So i don't care
Who he picks.
I'm picking the other one
'cause i love you both.
Blake, good luck
If you press your button.
Blake shelton.
They do look like
They just came in,
Like, somebody's filming
A western
At some other studio
Across the way.
Got your horses tied up
Out there.
They are very different-sounding
Artists, though.
Jonny, i've never heard a voice
Quite like yours.
Thank you, sir.
But it really felt like cole
Had more control
Over the song
That he was performing.
I would vote for cole
As an overall great performance.
Thank you.
All right, thank you, blake.
Christina.
I have to say,
You both are really unique.
But i really, really love
Jonny's stage presence.
You have something so special
About your voice.
It really makes me
Want to listen.
It perks up my ears.
So great job.
I would pick jonny.
Thank you, christina.
Cee lo, give me some thoughts
On that knockout.
I'm gonna start with you,
Cole.
"let her go" -- passenger --
Is a song that's new,
As we've said.
And i didn't know if that was
Gonna work against you.
But the growth, control,
And poise
And confidence
That you sang with,
You did a great job, cole,
And i was really impressed.
Thank you so much.
Jonny, you have a flair
Of familiarity
With the song choice,
And then also there's something
In your voice
That reminds me of dylan.
Your stance
Seems like activism.
You -- you feel me?
Yes, sir.
I believe that's a stance
That should be taken in general.
Thank you, sir.
And, man, both of you guys
Did so great.
And i hope adam keeps his word
And picks one of my guys.
I love you both.
Cole...jonny...
...the winner today is...
Y'all made it tough for me.
I'm gonna go with jonny.
Jonny gray --
Winner of the knockout rounds
Represents cee lo green
In the live shows!
I'm just so excited right now.
I did think
I might be going home.
Cole is an amazing musician,
And that was really tough.
All right, coaches,
Just a reminder
That cole
Is available to steal.
We got a steal!
He waited no time!
Adam levine
Is your new coach.
Adam, why do you want
To steal cole?
And we got another one!
Blake shelton's in!
Steals flying
All over the knockouts!
Don't even think about it,
Shelton. what are you talking about?
I already did.
It's too late.
The -- the thought
Is out there.
It's floating around.
Cole, let me talk to
You before he tries to screw it all up for me.
I have been telling you
Since i didn't pick you
How stupid that was.
This was
Your best performance.
Yeah, it's a song
That people didn't know.
You know, jonny sang a song
That everybody knows.
And i still think that you did
As good a job.
So that's a testament
To how great a singer you are.
Thank you.
Do you know
How much i love you?
I want you on my team.
He's very charming.
Don't -- don't -- don't --
Don't look him in the eye.
Stay with me here.
We're good over here --
You and me.
Cole, you know that reference
I made earlier
About you guys look like you
Came riding in on your horses.
If you go with adam,
There's a good chance
You'll be leaving here
On a moped.
Dressed
A little more metro.
Ha!
Did you say "moped"?
"moped" and "metro" --
Both of them.
An electric-powered
Moped.
I like what i see,
And i love what i hear.
I'm very interested to see
Where you ultimately want to go
As an artist.
I want to support
Whatever direction
You're already headed down
And help you get there
In the finale of "the voice."
Cole, the power
Is back in your hands.
Who's your new coach
Gonna be?
Um...
I don't know.
Um...
YOU KNOW, MAROON 5's MUSIC
Has sh-shaped me so much.
I mean,
Those incredible songs --
I mean, i think it's
The perfect way to make albums.
Y'all do it so well.
I can help you with that.
But what -- what blake said
Really speaks to me...
Ohh.
...because -- well, i mean...
No! don't do it!
It's true what he sa-- i don't
Know who i am as an artist.
And for him to kind of hit
The nail on the head like that,
I don't know, it's hard.
Oh, you looked at him
For too long. you looked at him for too long.
You know what the right thing
To do is, cole.
Come on.
Those dimples, man.
Cole vosbury,
Who is your new coach
Moving on to the live shows?
I don't know. uh...
I got to go with blake.
Yes!
Blake shelton
Steals cole vosbury...
No!
...away from cee lo green
And adam levine!
What blake said
Really spoke to me.
It really resonated with me.
That's why i went with blake.
Cole performed a brand-new song
In front of four coaches
Who are all artists
Who can appreciate
How difficult it is.
I think that song choice
Really paid off for him
Because now...
...he has the best coach
In the competition.
Cole and i will be riding
Off into the sunset
On our horses together.
