Daly:
last week on "the voice"...
The battles began.
♪ w*r, children ♪
It's the most intense part
of the competition.
Whoo!
Christina:
we are now in the battles.
All of it needs to come together
in one package,
So I want entertainers
that are gonna move people.
Daly: and the artists were up
for the challenge.
Came out here
swinging her purse
Like a southern
church lady.
Yes. Yes.
Yes.
[ Laughter ]
I'm just gonna be honest
with you guys.
One of you
will be stolen.
[ Cheers and applause ]
daly: with two steals each,
Our coaches gave
a deserving few singers
A second chance on a new team.
Blake shelton!
Blake used both his steals,
Strengthening his team.
Yes!
Christina, pharrell,
and adam
Each used one steal.
Whoo!
Will they use
their final steal tonight?
Adam: steals are great 'cause
the winner's been a steal
the last two seasons,
So you cannot deny
the importance of that.
Daly:
now, 12 more artists perform
With a spot on
their coaches' teams at stake.
Lowell: to win this battle
is another step closer
To my dream of pursuing music.
This means everything to me.
This is the road
to a record deal.
Hi, ladies.
Daly:
to help prepare them,
Our coaches enlisted
the biggest names in music...
Yee-haw!
They'll push their artists...
Blake: this is easily
the most competitive part
Of this competition.
I cannot wait to see
What these other coaches have
up their sleeves.
♪ You feelin' all right ♪
daly: ...like never before.
We need a show.
This is the jungle.
This is "the voice."
I just need some intensity.
Just like...
Aaaaaaah!

Daly: it's the most competitive
night of battles yet...

That was the best battle
I've seen this season.
Pharrell, super producer,
well done.
That's right.
What is wrong with you
putting those two together?
Daly: ...forcing one coach
to make the longest decision
In "voice" history.
Don't make me
take a commercial break.
She -- she probably has to pee
or something.
She's been up there
for 45 minutes.
[ Laughter ]
Repeat after me --
the winner of this battle is...
No!
Where you going?
Come on, man!
All right.
Daly: the action starts...
Whoa! We got a steal!
Oh!
Wow!
Thank you. Thank you.
Daly: ...right now.
[ Cheers and applause ]
It's night three of the battles
At universal studios hollywood.
Whoo!
Daly: while our coaches head
to their chairs,
Let's see how pharrell
and his team's adviser,
Four-time grammy winner
and music icon lionel richie,
Got his team ready
for the battles.
I cannot wait
to start this thing.
Pharrell: lionel richie
is a living legend.
He's worked with countless
incredible artists --
Diana ross, kenny rogers.
He co-wrote "we are the world"
with michael jackson.
And we're honored to have him
on the show.
Daly:
now let's meet pharrell's
First battle pairing
of the night --
20-Year-old briar jonnee
from shuqualak, mississippi,
Versus 23-year-old
caitlin caporale
From newburgh, new york.
College journalism student
briar jonnee
Came to "the voice" hoping
to break out of her small town.
♪ Go on and take a bow ♪
Daly:
her unique southern sound
Impressed both blake
and pharrell.
You see how you're
rubbing your hands
While you're holding
the mike?
Yeah.
There you go.
There you go.
[ Laughter ]
You can't really communicate
to people
If you're holding things back.
And I just thought maybe
we could work on those things.
I'm gonna go with pharrell.
Thank you.
Daly: caitlin,
a customer-service rep,
Came to "the voice" hoping
to work with christina.
♪ It's impossible ♪
oh, man!
Daly:
her powerful blind audition
Got two coaches
to push their buttons...
I loved it. I loved it.
But my team is full.
You were
graciously directing
The notes around
with your fingers.
Pharrell.
Thank you.
Daly: ...and earned
her idol's respect.
♪ Oh, baby, it's impossible ♪
Hey.
[ Laughs ]
Caitlin:
walking into the room
Seeing lionel and pharrell
was crazy.
How are you?
Hi, sweetheart.
Hi.
How are you?
It's, like, surreal
That I'm able to work
with two legends like this.
Today you guys are gonna sing
"fallin'" by alicia keys.
Love the song.
Yeah.
Grew up on it.
I grew up on it, too.
[ Laughs ]
That's not believable,
is it?
You can say whatever.
You're lionel richie.
[ Laughs ]
♪ Sometimes I love ya ♪
Briar and caitlin
both have super-soulful voices,
And "fallin'," it's a song
that both of them knew
And will be able
to express themselves,
And that will show me either
your advantages or your flaws.
♪ Love you ♪
♪ Oh, oh, i-i-i-i ♪
Are you going
to that false
Because you can't do it
in full voice
When you go
to those high notes?
I can definitely do it
when I work on it.
Okay, the very next time
you show up here,
You're just gonna bring
caitlin.
Caitlin, I just thought she was
just kind of like cheating
Because I know she can give us
the power of the full voice.
I like that you --
you improvised slightly
Whenever you sing and you let us
into who you are as a person.
You have to do more of that.
Okay.
I definitely feel like
I have some work to do.
You know,
I just got to just go for it,
Feel it, be in the moment.
Briar, you sang 95% of that song
with your eyes closed.
I want you to connect
when you sing.
I'm nervous. I'm just
constantly doubting myself.
Like, just little people
up here.
Okay.
Lionel: yeah.
You have got to turn the volume
down on them.
Mm-hmm.
Those voices --
poof, poof.
I've been on this show.
I've seen great people
just allow those voices
To consume them,
and you can't do that.
You're special, and you have
a reason to be here.
Okay.
Pharrell: briar in the blinds
was so nervous,
But I picked her because
I knew that there was
something in there.
Briar is a sleeper.
There's
a certain greatness
In a little bit
of uneasiness.
Use that fear.
Yes.
Open your eyes
and point.
That means they know you believe
what you're saying.
♪ I keep on fallin'
in and out ♪
♪ Of love with you ♪
♪ Oh, oh, i-i-i-i ♪
Hey.
♪ Never felt this way ♪
Now, listen to me.
That was, like, great.
I just -- I saw both of you guys
reach down inside.
Yeah. Yeah.
It's a blessing
that you're, like,
Discovering that you can do it,
so you can't turn back.
Having the hit record
is one thing.
Telling the story
is the other part of it.
You have to make us believe
this happened to you.
Lionel: briar and caitlin
are a great matchup.
They are both so good.
It's just who can take
the pressure.
I believe in you both.
Only one of you
is gonna make it through.
Don't make it easy for me.
Daly:
with their battle near,
Briar and caitlin meet
with pharrell and lionel richie
For a final rehearsal
with the band.
♪ Oh, oh, i-i-i-i
never felt this way ♪
♪ Oh ♪
Okay, so,
there are some things.
Little pitchy
on that first harmony.
Yeah.
Are you used
to singing up there,
Or you just were willing
to go there?
It's a little bit higher
than what I normally do.
Okay.
It's more of like a screech,
so I'm just trying to go for it.
That's what I --
that's what I thought.
I started a little under,
but that's so not me,
And I was just like, "oh, no.
This can't be happening now."
When you said, "yeah,
it's a little bit high for me,"
That's instantly
telling your mind
To, like, psych you out
before you have to do it.
You don't have to do that 'cause
you actually can sing there.
Really sing that line
over and over again.
The muscle memory
will kick in,
And you won't ever have to
worry about that again.
Yeah. Got it.
Okay?
You, I don't like
when you're waiting on her,
'Cause you go inward
and you're not letting me in.
Stage presence
is acting.
In a duet, while someone else
is doing something,
Never come
out of character.
We need a show.
This is the jungle.
This is "the voice."
Having pharrell as a coach
is one of the best experiences
I've ever had in my life.
He's able to bring out
What some people
might not be able to see in me.
It's something
you have to learn.
The first time I went on stage
with the commodores,
The curtains opened...
And I walked off with --
[ laughs ]
I walked off
with the curtains.
It was the most terrifying thing
I'd ever seen in my life.
I don't know how
I'm gonna decide this battle.
♪ Keep on fallin'

Pharrell: both of them
rose to the occasion today
In two different ways.
♪ I-i-i never ♪
It's just whoever's personality
really bleeds through the most
Will be the one that wins.
Daly:
it's the night of their battle,
And briar and caitlin
are about to go head-to-head,
But only one will remain
on team pharrell.
Caitlin:
this means everything to me.
This is the road
to a record deal.
This is a road to not having
to go back to customer service.
I'm gonna give it all I have
and just leave it on the stage.
Briar: I feel a lot of pressure
to make this happen.
Coming from such a small town,
There are
no music opportunities.
To win this battle, I need
to connect with the audience,
And I need to feel it in myself.
Entering now from team pharrell,
The mississippi college student
with a big voice,
Briar jonnee...

Yeah!
Team pharrell battle.
Nice job, caitlin, briar.
Yes.
Man, I would buy a ticket
to this show,
Like,
every day of the week.
[ Applause ]
I think the thing
about briar is,
She's a little more
of a loose cannon.
I mean,
I think she gets up there
And floats around with
the melody a little bit more,
And everything's accurate,
Where caitlin,
when she gets on a note
And holds it, it's just --
there's no vibrato.
It's just this straight line
of sound that hits you,
And it is impressive.
And I think both you girls
are awesome.
[ Applause ]
thank you.
Thank you, blake.
Adam.
That was crazy.
Thank you.
I thought
you were both fantastic.
I really do.
Thanks.
Caitlin, I think
you could win the show.
That kind of power and control
with the right songs,
And I just see you making it
really, really far on the show.
That doesn't mean
That you weren't great, as well,
'cause you were.
You were both wonderful.
Thank you.
Thank you, adam.
Christina?
Christina:
very, very impressive stuff.
That was one of
my favorite battles for sure.
You guys are equally great.
I know you coming out
and singing "impossible,"
I had my team full already,
So I couldn't push for you
the first time.
Briar, you just came out here
owning it,
And your high notes, they were
super clear and strong.
And I don't know
what pharrell's gonna do.
Whoo!
Good luck, pharrell.
[ Chuckles ]
Pharrell: let me say this.
Caitlin, you absolutely
practiced that note,
And it did become
second nature to you.
I saw that on stage.
And, briar,
something clicked with you,
And you got so comfortable.
You took two chances.
You said something
in between a lyric.
It was like your own thing.
And you did a run that was
just kind of like "whoa."
That makes this decision
super tough for me.
I know it's hard, pharrell, but
who's the winner of this battle?
Pharrell: um...
This is a really hard
and tough thing to do.
And it hurts me because I want
to reward both of you guys.
Guys,
i-i don't know what to do.
What would you do?
Well, in your own words,
you would say,
"Follow your heart,"
right?
I feel like I'm watching
an egg hatch right now.
[ Laughter ]
[ Mimics baby crying ]
[ Laughter ]
Okay.
The winner of this battle...
...is caitlin.
Caitlin,
in an agonizing decision
For coach pharrell,
moves on to the knockouts.
Thank you.
Caitlin: I'm so happy.
I'm so relieved and excited.
It means everything for me
to be moving forward.
It's a validation
that my hard work paid off,
And I'm so grateful to pharrell.
I'm very happy.
Pharrell:
I had to go with caitlin
Because I felt like
she was further along.
I see caitlin
as a great r&b pop artist.
Can't wait to work with her.
[ Applause ]
I want to thank you
for trusting me,
And I want to thank you
for all the hard work
That you've done
to get yourself to this place.
I feel so good
about what I just did.
[ Voice breaking ]
I've never seen myself do that.
Like...
Christina: aww.
Yeah.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Briar -- she's a sweetheart,
so it was sad seeing her go.
But I have one steal left,
which is kind of scary,
So I'm looking for something
super special.
That was tough, man.
Adam: I know.
It's just 'cause the emotional
part of it's tough.
I want to reward her
for that.
She got a reward, though.
She put on
an amazing performance,
But you made
the correct choice,
'Cause that girl's
gonna go far.

from washington, d.c.
Barry left

I couldn't be happier,
and welcome to my team, barry.
Thank you, adam.
Barry's got a man voice.
Daly: jack, a part-time attorney
and front man of a country band,
Came to "the voice"
looking for his big break.
Jack:
it's definitely a big risk
Getting rid of the legal stuff.
But getting a chair turned
Would allow me to focus
on music exclusively.
♪ I fell into a ring of fire ♪
Daly: his powerful performance
of a johnny cash classic
Caught adam's attention.
You have this beautiful
true baritone voice.
His dream
has always been
To beat me

We're gonna smoke
that fool.
Now barry and jack
go into their first rehearsal
To meet adam and his adviser,
pop sensation ellie goulding.
Nice to meet you.
So nice to meet you.
I think it's gonna be
interesting working with ellie
Because she's
an international superstar,
And having her work with adam
is gonna bring
A different dimension
to what we're doing.
Adam: I think that your pairing
has something to do
With the masculinity factor.
[ Laughter ]
Energy's gonna be good
with you guys. I can tell.
Jack and barry, they're doing
"feelin' alright" by joe c*ck.

The thing that I can do
to stand out in this
Is just showcase my tone and
hopefully do the song justice.
This is gonna be
like an actual boxing match.

'cause, you know, for real,
You guys have so much power
and so much presence.
You're both lovely.
Thank you.
One thing I was thinking is
if there's a way
To bring the lower range
of my voice into there.
I happen
to really like your voice
In this register right now.
Okay.
If you're comfortable with that,
I would say stick with it.
Ellie: jack's voice is
incredibly deep and powerful,
But I think
that he could push that voice.
I think he's got much more
than he thinks.
I think
this is a song that calls
For yellin',
yippin', and yappin'.
It's very
call-and-responsey, shouting,
Crazy, and I think
you have a lot of those.
Yeah.
Do what you feel.
You know, laugh.
Kind of like
just having a conversation.
I like that rapport,
and that's gonna be really cool.

not knowing the song.
Yeah.
You know, barry, I always like
to use the kick and the snare
As my perimeters.
I have no boundaries
except those two things.
If I'm in rhythm,
the bad notes become bearable.
I always feel like, "okay,
I'm on my rock. We're good."
I am actually the oldest
on team adam,
But you're never too old

So I'm gonna put those tools
to work,

Jack,
it's always weird to me
When I see a country artist
that's not on my team.
It's not right.
[ Laughs ]
This is actually a song
that I think all of us
As country artists,
at some point,
Jamming at some bar
somewhere,
We always
sing this song.
And so,
I can tell that you were
Totally comfortable
singing it,
And you sounded great
doing it.
Thank you.
Barry, you did a good job
of pulling back the reins,
You know,
'cause it would have been,
I think, easy for you
to be on 10 the whole time
Because you have
that kind of a voice.
It's just
larger than life.
I think
if I was picking here,
I'd probably have to go
with barry.
Thank you.
Daly:
thank you, blake. Christina?

That was super fun to watch
just 'cause it was, like --
Almost felt like
I was watching a conversation

was just off the charts.
And, jack, you were just
really solid underneath it.
So, it's really a matter
of -- of adam's preference here,
But I enjoyed it thoroughly.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you, coach christina.
Pharrell.
I thought that was
a very spirited performance.
Both your personalities
are just so big.
Jack,
you have a great tone.
Thank you.
And, barry,
you have a soulful essence
About the way you perform.
You were like howling
in the song.
I love nothing more
than when great soul singers
Do those in those records.
Like, those are
the pivotal moments.
When I was a kid, that's what
made us, like, "cut the rug."
Yeah.
But you take me
to that place.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Daly: thanks, pharrell.
Adam, the final decision
is yours.
I love that you kind of
just threw caution to the wind.
Both you guys smiled,
had a great rapport on stage,
Accomplished
what we wanted to accomplish.
There's a reason
why their rapport was so great.
It's 'cause they --
they get along.
You guys were like brothers
in there.
It was hilarious.
Congratulations on that.
Thank you.
Thank you.
[ Applause ]
Tough one, adam.
Who's the winner of this battle?
I don't think
we're talking better or worse.
This is
just a gut thing.
There's no wrong choice here,
So making this choice
is tough.
Um...
The winner of this battle...
Man. [ Sighs heavily ]
...is barry.
[ Cheers and applause ]
thank you.
Daly: barry moving on
to the knockouts.
Adam: that was a tough decision,
but barry's got that cool vibe.
Barry likes to shake it up.
Barry likes to rock 'n' roll.
We're gonna see some stuff
in barry. It'll be fun.
Pharrell: congrats, sir.
I'm ecstatic!
I'm going to the knockouts.
Wooooow!
Coaches, let me remind you
jack is available to steal.
Anything you'd like to say,
jack, to your coach, adam?
I just want to say thanks
for the opportunity.
I thought your comments
were great,
And I thought
it came off well.
Man, that was tough, bro,
and honestly, you're awesome.
Thank you.
Ladies and gentlemen,
a big thank you to jack gregori.
Thank you, jack.
Jack: it wasn't my night,
but you know what?
Barry's a great singer,
so I wish him all the best.
Hey, what time are you
officiating the game after --
Don't ever point at me.
Is it a soccer game,
or is it, like, a football...?
[ Laughter ]
[ Laughter ]
I'm gonna make
a country song.
I am.

[ Chuckles ]
Daly: coming up...
Can I just hear you guys scream
for a second?
Just like...
Aaaaaaaah!
Daly:
...christina and nick jonas
challenge their artists...
Just, like, do it.
Daly: ...to let go.
Aah.
[ Exhales sharply ]
Um...
That was the sweetest anger
I've ever heard.
[ Laughter ]
aah!
Daly: and later,
the longest battle decision
In "voice" history.
She -- she probably has to pee
or something.
She's been up there
for 45 minutes.
I have to pee.
I just peed just now.

Daly: welcome back.
Let's look at christina's
first matchup of the night --
25-Year-old katelyn read
from raleigh, north carolina,
Versus 17-year-old treeva gibson
from frederick, maryland.
Katelyn, a full-time mom,
came to "the voice"
Hoping to turn her dream
into a career.
Katelyn: right now,
my husband and daughter and I
Are living with my mom and dad.
And so, to be able
to make a living from music
Would make a huge difference.
♪ Oh, breathe ♪
Daly:
during her blind audition,
Her indie sound
impressed christina.
Yes!
Your tone was so special.
Thank you.
Welcome to team christina.
Daly: high-school student treeva
comes from a unique background.
Treeva:
I grew up with two deaf parents.
Them not being able to hear me
was difficult,
So getting a chair turn
Would let them know that
this is something that I can do.
♪ Will you still love me
when I'm no longer ♪
daly: her passionate performance
Caught the ears
of both christina and blake.
I was so captivated
as soon as you started singing.
I pick christina.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Daly: now katelyn and treeva
go into their first rehearsal...
Hi, ladies.
...to meet christina
and her adviser,
Pop superstar nick jonas.
How you guys doing?
Nick.
Good to see you.
Katelyn:
it's exciting to have someone
So high on the billboard charts
helping me with my performance.
It's a once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity.
This song, "addicted to love,"
florence + the machine version,
I thought was a great fit
for both of you
Because it just --
it sort of, I think,
Complements
both of your voices
In the way that you have
beautiful, subtle inflections
And falsettos that you guys
can totally showcase.
I think this song is
very haunting, kind of moody.
Now their challenge is
to not copy everything
that florence did
And to really go in there and
explore what they're capable of.
♪ Oh, you like to think that
you're immune to the stuff ♪
♪ Oh, yeah ♪
Katelyn has a really smart way
of singing,
The way she inflects
certain words and tones.
♪ Can't get enough ♪

I haven't had a lot of chances
to really perform,
So I'm gonna really
have to step up my game.
♪ It's closer to the truth

♪ You're gonna have to
face it ♪
♪ You're addicted to love ♪
Treeva has a fantastic voice
and real big powerhouse notes.
It's intimidating
because it's not me.
I'm not a powerhouse.
Just make sure
you're really overlapping
Because you guys do falsettos
and those parts so well.
I want katelyn to go --
you can play it...
♪ Oooooooh ♪
♪ the lights are on,
but you're not home ♪
♪ Oooooooh ♪
♪ your mind
is not your own ♪
However you want to do.
And it almost makes it
more haunting that way
So that it's not just like,
"okay, your turn, now my turn."
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
I think, treeva,
once you go up,
I think you should stay up
for the last chorus
Just to continue
the energy forward.
'Cause we're, like, on a train.
We're moving.
And it can't go down
after it's exploded.
Okay.
When are you gonna come be
a coach?
You have,
like, great advice.
[ Laughter ]
so awesome.
Treeva --
she has a very powerful voice.
And katelyn has great execution,
But they have to explore
stepping outside of themselves,
Stepping outside of the box,
making it truly unique.

[ Chuckles ]
You guys, like, you're going
through the motions,
But it's almost, like, too soft
and pretty and it's moving.
But it's just like
it's not moving me.
Yeah.
Katelyn and treeva
have really sweet voices,
And this song in particular
Has creepy,
interesting connotation,
And they're not living up to the
song's full potential right now.
I need you guys
to break out of the shell.
You have to embody
a different character,
A different personality.
And I want you to sing it
like you're trying
To push down inner crazy,
you know?
Like, i-i just need
some intensity.
Okay.
If there's a situation,
something happened in your life
That you can
directly connect this to,
Literally
go to that place,
'Cause we'll feel it
once you do.
Nick:
it's a struggle sometimes
To get them to
the emotional place,
'Cause they're both
pretty young.
And, you know, I was thankful
I had acting training,
As well as performing,
So I was able
to infuse some of that.
Can I just hear you guys scream
for a second?
[ Laughter ]
yeah.
Just like...
Aaaaaaah!
Right?
Just, like, do it.
Ready?
Aah.
[ Exhales sharply ]
Um...
That was the sweetest anger
I've ever heard.
[ Laughter ]
Treeva: christina has been
pushing us so much.
I so badly want to make
my coach proud
Because it's, like --
it's christina aguilera.
Who wouldn't want to
impress her?
Aaaaaaah!
Aaaaaaah!
Yeah, and just shake
your shoulders out.
And also use the stage.
I just kind of need you
to get lost in an intense way,
Because this is high stakes
to be taken really seriously.
Usually I talk people off
the ledge from being nervous,
But in this case,
i want them to be nervous
Because maybe that will evoke
a little more passion
That I want to see so badly.
Your voices are gorgeous.
I just need you guys
to really dig deep.
No sweetness for this one.
Be crazy. Crazy girl.
I leave you with that.

Daly: all right.
Whoo!
That was beautiful.
That is katelyn and treeva
in a battle for team christina
To move on to the knockouts.
Coach pharrell,
we're gonna start with you.
I need help.
I think, katelyn, you have a
very distinct style of singing,
And it's soft
and it's, like, whispery.
Treeva,
I felt the same way about you
Until we got to
the third quarter,
And then you kind of like
broke through the ceiling.
I mean,
you sang that note full voice,
And I think you allowed
for people to see
That there was something else
in there.
I understand your conundrum.
It is.
Because there's a lot of
potential there in both of them.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Thank you, pharrell.
Adam.
Wow.
I have a lot to say.
I was terrible, right?
No, no.
[ Chuckles ]
it was great what you said.
What he says is stupid.
Always.
What you say
is always awesome.
Now, the music that we listen to
greatly influences
The sounds that we make
as singers, right?
My influences
I wear on my sleeve,
And I think more and more
as I mature as a singer,
I become less like those singers
and more like me.
There are two amazing singers
in there,
But it seemed like
the style and the influence
Was overwhelming the raw talent
that I know you both have.
So I was distracted
by that.
I want you guys to figure out
who you guys are
So that I can hear
how amazing that's gonna be.
And if I had to pick
right now,
Based on how blown away I was
by one moment that let me know,
I would go with treeva.
Thank you, adam. Blake?
[ Applause ]
Treeva,
you're 17 now?
Gosh.
You're so good, sweetie.
I mean, it's --
Thank you.
It's crazy.
But I feel like
katelyn is just...
A more developed
vocalist.
She has a grasp
on her sound.
And for that reason,
I think I would give it
to katelyn, personally.
All right, christina. Of course
the final decision's yours.
This is a really hard one
for me.
Katelyn, you do have
more of a control, I think,
Over your voice.
There are moments
where I still feel like
There's other things
that maybe you can do
That you might not know about.
Treeva, you're this sweet,
little package
And innocent in your tone,
And then a monster comes out,
and it's like, "oh, wow.
I didn't know
she could do that."
So, you have
a lot of tricks up your sleeve,
And you're only 17, so you don't
know how to yet control it.
But maybe
that's our work together.
Or do I go with katelyn,
Who's a little bit
more finessed?
I don't know, guys.
I'm, like -- I'm struggling
with this one.
Daly: tough one, christina,
for you, but...
It really is.
Daly: ...the time has come.
Who is the winner
of this battle?
Oh, man!
I don't know.
Aah!
I need help.
What do we think?
Treeva!
[ Audience shouting ]
katelyn!
God, it's really hard.
You know, I think there's stuff
we can really explore
And work with together.
The winner of this battle...
Is treeva.
[ Cheers and applause ]
treeva is the winner!
Christina: treeva --
she has just that innate fire,
And I saw the animal in her
come out.
Oh, honey.
You did so good.
Thank you.
The fact that she can take you
by surprise
Is also
a really interesting thing
To keep in the competition,
Because that's when you get
some really special moments.
Whoo!
Coaches, let me remind you
katelyn is available to steal.
Anything you'd like to say
to your coach?
My goal for coming on the show
was to become a better singer,
And I feel like
I've come a long way,
So thank you so much.
Christina: thank you so much,
katelyn.
Give it up
for katelyn read, everybody!
Thank you, katelyn.
Whoo!
Hey! Hey, baby.
I'm excited to get to go home
and spend some time with them.
Being a mom is important.
I love you.
Aww.
I love you, too, girl.

You did so good.
Treeva: I'm so happy
that christina believes in me,
And I'm very thrilled
to have her as my coach.
Congratulations.
She did a beautiful job today.
You should be so proud.

Aw, man.

kind of freak out a little bit
Thinking about the songs
my parents used to play of his
And how much
I enjoyed his music.
How are you?
Fabulous.
Lowell: I was so eager
to get in that room
And work with
these two music masters.
Both y'all are old souls,
so we chose "hound dog."
Everyone thinks that elvis
had the original version.
Big mama thornton
had the original version.
You're doing
a historic song here.
You're ice,
and you're fire.
Mm-hmm.
But if you guys do it right
and it's a real duet,
It'll be steam.
Ah.
Ahh!
I like that!

exactly that feeling.

act for ac/dc and queen,

"How are we
gonna pull this off?"

for the night was,
"Watch out, world.
The black beatles are coming."
That's what you have here.
Just stick to you.
I feel like I'm singing it
the same throughout.
I don't know
where else to go.
The biggest problem
that happens with most people
Who have that kind
of vocal range
Is they put the finale
in the beginning.
You've got
that incredible run.
Hold that bad boy
So when you finally do
the ending part,
It's like, "please."

that is kimberly and lowell
In a battle for team pharrell.
Yes!
Yeah!
I got some good news.
Your coach is standing up.
That's always a good sign.
Adam, let's start with you.
Oh, man.
That was so great.
It was just one of those moments
that you're like,
"Oh, yeah, this is
a classic 'voice' moment."
Really cool arrangement,
super producer.
It was perfectly ex*cuted.
And you guys have to be
so proud of that.
My loyalty, of course,
would have been with lowell
Just because losing lowell
to pharrell made me want to cry.
Kimberly, man,
honest to god, though,
You might have taken this.
So I don't know
who the hell I pick.
I award you no help,
and have fun with that.
[ Applause ]
all right. Thank you, adam.
Let's go to blake.
What is wrong with you
putting those two together?
Yeah.
What is wrong with you?
Man, kimberly,
you know what?
Your voice is just
infectious
And your stage presence,
Your persona,
e-everything about you.
I'm obsessed with you
Now that I --
now that I'm talking about it.
You may want to get
a restraining order...
[ Laughter ]
...before I'm done
complimenting you.
[ Laughs ]
Had to make it creepy.
You had to make it creepy.
I mean, lowell,
your singing is also amazing.
By the way, the --
the tail-wagging thing you did,
That was awesome.
And lowell occupies a-a space
that nobody else occupies.
I'm gonna plead the fifth
on this one.
Hey, blake,
aren't you happy
That we don't have to
make that decision right now?
Yeah.
Me too.
Yeah.
[ Laughter ]
Poor pharrell.
Christina.
You both had such charisma.
It got me so excited.
It was my favorite battle
of this season for sure,
So hats off to pharrell.
Yeah.
I'm really excited
to have seen that.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Pharrell, the final decision
is yours.
You guys are right.
Like, what did I do?
I'm thinking that
right now.
What did I do?
'Cause i-i-i want them both.
Can't.
Can't have them both.
You can have both of them.
You can have both of them.
How?
Man, shut up.
Let him decide.
'Cause last year,
remember, I had a battle,
And I chose the guy,
And the other one
went to another team,
And then I got
the other guy back.
Okay.
Last season
when I beat adam...
[ Cheers and applause ]
...when I beat him...
I was able
to get both of them back,
And then I beat him.
Blake, shut up.
Pharrell, who is the winner
of this battle?
This is so hard.
[ Laughter ]
Yes, but it is time
to make a decision.
[ Laughter ]
Oh, man.
Would you like us
all to leave?
[ Laughter ]
That was funny.
That was...
It's such
a hard decision for me
Because i-i want to have you
both, because you know what?
In the young man,
I saw something
I had never seen before.
But what are you supposed to do
when she sings like that, too?
Like, she's incredible.
[ Laughs ]
daly: mr. Williams,
the floor is yours.
Who is the winner
of this battle?
See, that's the problem
I have.
[ Audience shouts ]
oh!
That's the problem.
Oh, man.
Honestly,
they're both winners.
Daly:
okay. We know that.
Okay?
That's --
that's why -- that's why --
I'm so sorry
to hold you guys up.
Don't make me take
a commercial break.
The thing is, is who
can I actually do some work with
And who doesn't need me.
You know what I mean?
Like, that's really
what it boils down to.
[ Laughter ]
Repeat after me --
the winner of this battle is...
No! No, no, no.
Daly: where are you going?
Where are you going?
[ Laughter ]
Slow your roll.
Who's best
for team pharrell?
Christina: oh!
[ Audience shouting ]
Kimberly!
She -- she probably has to pee
or something.
She's been up there
for 45 minutes.
[ Laughter ]
I have to pee.
Pharrell: listen, honestly...
I had one moment like this --
I just peed just now.
[ Laughter ]
Okay.
You know what?
America has to pee.
America, go pee,
and we'll be right back
With pharrell's decision
on "the voice" right after this.
♪ This is "the voice" ♪
And we are back with a tough
decision for pharrell williams.
Pharrell: okay, okay, okay.
[ Laughter ]
all right.
Pharrell,
you've got lowell, kimberly,
Both excellent singers.
When you're ready, sir.
Who's the winner
of this battle?
Okay.
I-i have to make a decision.
Um...

#I'msorry.
#Comeonman!

[ Laughs ]
Come on, pharrell.
Come on!
And you said it's possible
That you can get them back
later, right?
You can.
I-i've done that.
I've stolen my own team member
back, too.
Blake: hey, yes, yes.
You know, last year when I won
the show, I beat adam.
[ Cheers and applause ]
I'm gonna go on -- I'm gonna go
on a leap of faith...
Oh, lord.
...that you guys will both
end up back on my team.
Now I'm nervous.
So...
I'm gonna choose lowell.
The winner of this battle
is lowell,
Moving on to the knockouts
representing team pharrell!
[ Cheers and applause ]
It's all right.
Okay.
We got a lot of work to do.
A lot of work to do.
Being able to continue
to work with pharrell
Literally means the world,
and it's -- it's --
[ Sighs ] lord.
I'm just so thankful.
Pharrell: I picked lowell
Because I felt like there was
more work for us to do
And I felt like
he was something different
I feel like the show's
not really had before.
Coaches, let me remind you
kimberly is available to steal.
[ Cheers and applause ]
we got a steal!
Christina aguilera...
Whoo!
...steals kimberly
from pharrell!
I've wanted you
since the blinds!
So excited
for this part of the show
'Cause the steals change
everything.
Thank you, thank you.
How are you feeling,
kimberly?
I'm just happy to still be here.
I'm excited.
Love you, baby.
All right, well, go say hi
to your new coach.
There's christina aguilera.
Meet kimberly.
Kimberly: you know,
I've listened to christina
Since I was a little girl.
She's one of the best vocalists
In the millennial generation
of singers,
So it's great to be on her team,
it is.
Yes!
We're gonna have fun.
Thank you, girl.
Thank you.

I'm so excited.
Yes!
Kimberly's mine.
She was just up there

I'm out of my steals,
So I'm really excited that
I added kimberly to my team.
Blake: pharrell may hold
the record right now
For the longest decision
in the history of "the voice."
It hurts me so bad,
But I'm also at the same time --
I'm super, super happy for you.
Thank you, pharrell.

During the blind auditions,
brenna took a risk
Singing a miranda lambert song

Daly:
let them hear it --
Kelsie and brenna
in a battle for blake
To move on to the knockouts.
All right, christina,
Let's see if you can help out
the cowboy.
I can see why he paired
you two together, for sure.
You guys represent the same
kind of a thing on his team.
But I think
part of blake's work
Is to work on
some dynamics maybe,
Because you guys
were, like, on 10, I feel like,
The whole time.
And I'll be interested to see
what blake does here.
Thanks, coach. Pharrell.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Brenna, your voice
is much lighter.
You float around the notes
in a very interesting way.
And I heard some control
in there, too.
But then, kelsie, you have,
like, this really strong tone,
Just really cuts through.
Yeah, I don't know
what you're gonna do,
Because they both
are incredible.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Adam.
I think ability-wise, these two
are very evenly paired.
Brenna,
I feel like you succeeded
In not allowing yourself
to crumble
Under the nervous energy
that you had.
But kelsie
came out here like,
"All right,
it's time to do business."
I mean, I don't know
how nervous you were.
Trust me. I'm nervous. I'm
literally shaking in my boots.
Now --
now you look nervous.
[ Laughs ]
but you didn't.
When your posture changed
when you started singing,
There was assertiveness,
And I think
that's the difference
Between
the two of you guys.
And if I'm blake, it's really
hard not to go with kelsie.
I think you're furthest along
at this point in time.
But, brenna, that's not taking
away anything about what you do,
'Cause I think
you're fantastic.
It's a really tough
decision.
All right, coach blake.
You got the final word,
my man.
Well, these are always
my least favorite battles
To make decisions on,
is young people,
Because I never want anybody
to ever feel discouraged.
You're both
really great singers.
Brenna,
you did an incredible job
Of containing your nerves.
And, kelsie,
the same for you.
I-i-i sensed a little bit
of nervous energy from you.
I think
your voice naturally
Cuts through some of that,
though,
So you have a little bit
of an advantage there.
Blake, who's the winner
of this battle?
Hate this.
I think it's pretty even.
Hmm.
I got to make my decision.
The winner
of this battle...
Is kelsie.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Kelsie wins, moves on
to the knockouts
to represent team blake.
Congratulations.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Congratulations, sweetie.
Thank you so much.
Great job.
Kelsie: I haven't been singing
for very long,
And to be here and to
move forward to knockouts,
I'm so happy.
I have dreamed about this since
I was this high off the ground,
And I just want to make
something of myself.
Brenna, anything you want to say
to blake?
You've always been
a really big role model to me.
It's been great
being able to work with you,
And I feel like
I'm still a winner.
You are. You are.
[ Cheers and applause ]
we're gonna miss you.
You absolutely are.
You have a great career
ahead of you.
Brenna yaeger, everybody!
Let her hear it!
Good luck to you,
sweetie.
Brenna is a special girl,
one of the sweetest human beings
I have ever met in my life
and a very talented girl, too.
Give me a hug.
I want a hug.
I think kelsie was able
To show a little more
confidence on -- on stage,
And that's really
all it came down to.
She was walking around on that
stage like wonder woman to me.
She was so confident.
16-Year-old.
Yes.

That's what's scary to me.

cool.
Don't be afraid
of the intimacy
Of the performance
and the song, as well.
Looking back
at some of the words,
It's a really intimate song,
and so live in that moment,
'Cause you're gonna create
the world we're in.
The area india can improve on
is her presence on stage.
Sometimes you have to let
some of that training go
And just throw it out there.
It's just such a beautiful song.
Why over-think something?
I just hope
india really stays focused...
Awesome, guys.
Beautiful job.
Good work, guys.
Thanks.
...because you just can never
pre-judge a one-button push.
They can end up
stealing the show.
Daly: coming up...
♪ I want you to stay ♪
Daly: ...the most emotional
performance of the battles
Surprises all of our coaches.
Christina's the only one
That turned around
for you, clinton,
Which makes us three
look like total bozos.
The winner of this battle is...
[ Cheers and applause ]
Daly: another steal!
Christina: aah!
♪ This is "the voice" ♪
Daly: welcome back.
Before our final battle,
Let's see where
our coaches' teams stand.
Yeah!
Adam kept soul singer
barry minniefield.
Blake picked country artist
kelsie may.
Christina held on
to pop vocalist treeva gibson
And used her last steal
on soul rocker kimberly nichole.
And pharrell picked
pop singer caitlin caporale
And crooner lowell oakley.
Now it's time
for clinton and india to battle,
But only one will remain
on team christina.
Clinton: I've been performing
for the past two years
In new york,
and it's hard to get noticed.
Confidence is absolutely
something I continue to work on,
And I'm hoping that I'm able
to show that I really have it
And that I'm able to deliver a
clean and polished performance.
India: I have been classically
trained for most of my life,
But I've actually
never had a pop coach before,
So continuing to learn
from christina aguilera
Is something
that is motivating me.
This is exactly
what I want to be doing.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Going head-to-head
from team christina,
The digital-marketing
professional
With the smooth voice,
clinton washington...
[ Cheers and applause ]
...versus the ucla
performing-arts student,
India carney!

Daly: clinton versus india with
all four coaches on their feet.
Whoo!
Daly: christina, what a decision
you've got coming up.
Pharrell, what'd you think?
Man, that was
technically the best battle
I've seen this season.
Whoo!
[ Cheers and applause ]
that's right.
Thank you.
Christina: yes.
I see two people
who are so positive
About what they want in life.
Congratulations
to both of you guys.
[ Cheers and applause ]
thank you.
Daly: adam.
Adam: the original version
of that song is simpler,
And you guys elaborated
a lot.
It was
a stylistic choice,
But also ex*cuted in
a really precise, amazing way.
I mean, clinton, I got to be
honest with you, man.
Like, I saw you get up there
with india, and I was like,
"Oh, man, poor clinton."
But then you proceeded
to be
Like the male
counterpart...
Whoa.
Yeah.
...of india.
Christina's the only one that
turned around for you, clinton,
Which makes us three
look like total bozos
Because you guys were absolutely
equals up there.
So, excellent,
excellent job.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Blake.
I just got wrapped up
in that.
I didn't feel like
I was watching a battle.
I felt like I was just watching
a music video
Of a great recording,
you know.
Oh, that's awesome.
You know what I mean?
It was -- it was good.
[ Cheers and applause ]
I guess
if I had to pick somebody,
It would have to
just be based on looks,
And she's way prettier
than you, dude.
[ Laughs ]
Daly: some high praises from
the coaches there, christina.
Christina: wow.
You've got the final decision.
You both have amazing,
dynamic voices,
But the restraint that you guys
showed, the connection,
Everything was just so
strategically placed and so --
It was ex*cuted
so perfectly.
This is a very tough choice
for me.
And you guys both just showed
That you have a reason
to be here.
All right, christina,
who's the winner of this battle?
I have so much respect
for you guys as vocalists.
Um, in moving forward,
I have to go with, um...
[ Sighs ]
The winner of this battle is...
...india.
Daly: india moves on
to the knockout rounds.
Congratulations to you.
You'll be representing
team christina.
But that kills me, clinton!
It kills me!
You know that.
I love you, girl.
That was awesome.
[ Voice breaking ] I've been
so nervous this whole time,
And it just means so much
to win.
You going?
I'm gonna think about it.
Ahh!
All right, coaches,
Let me remind you clinton here
is available to steal.
Clin-- we've got adam levine
stealing clinton!
Yes!
Clinton got stolen.
So I'm just so happy.
Whoo!
Oh, my god.
Adam!
[ Laughs ]
Welcome back to the show.
You got new life
thanks to that young man.
Wha!
Blake: oh!
Christina: aah!
Another steal!
Pharrell's in on the steal!
I knew it.
Whoo!
Adam and pharrell both trying
To steal clinton
from christina.
That makes me
so happy.
[ Laughs ]
I just want to say my thing
before he charms your pants off,
Which he will.
What really attracts me
to what you're doing
Is the fact that you are
extremely confident,
And I heard that
in your voice today,
And that's why I pressed my
button to steal you for my team.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Adam is right.
You did a great job.
I would love to have you,
and I really honestly think
That you have what it takes
to win the show.
I've never won
the show before.
I have.
So, do I want you on my team?
Absolutely.
That was good.
[ Applause ]
That was good.
I think you got him.
Daly:
well, here we go, clinton.
Thank you, guys, so much.
And, again, christina,
thank you.
[ Audience shouting ]
Uh...
I pick adam.
Yeah!
Daly: adam levine is now
clinton's new coach.
Hug it out.
Thank you, man.
Clinton: they're both incredible
artists, incredible coaches,
But adam aligns
with a little bit more
Of what I'm trying to do.
I think I've got
a lot more growing to do,
And I think he's gonna --
he's gonna get me there.
He was really good.
He's gonna learn
a lot from you, though.
You're gonna be a good coach
for him.
Adam:
pharrell is tough to battle.
I was really blown away
by clinton.
He's clearly capable of a lot.
I'm very happy clinton chose me.
Christina, thank you.
Sorry.
