Post by bunniefuu »

Daly: Tonight, the artists
are only one performance

From the season 10 live shows.

But to get there,

They must first survive
the knockouts.

♪oh, oh, oh, oh, oh ♪

♪oh, oh, oh, oh, oh ♪
christina: The knockouts
are a really great moment

In the competition,
because we get to see

The kind of artists
that they want to be.

Miley's here.
Daly:
To advise their teams,

Our coaches brought in
one of the most dynamic artists

With over
20 million records sold,

Award-winning musician,
tor, philanthropist,

And pop-culture icon
miley cyrus.

...It's miley cyrus.

Maybe just, like,
an a cappella moment.

♪i just wanna
take your time ♪

Oh, that's cool.

This is why
we have miley cyrus here.

What i love about "the voice"
is being able to give back.

She brings in
a great expertise.

[ both vocalizing ]
miley: There's just so many
talented people on this show.

It's the best job ever.

♪and nirvana ♪
♪and nirvana ♪

Just stay on the a's

Okay.

I've worked
with miley before...

♪i never thought ♪
...And she's very different.

Most kids are not like that,

And i feel like,
being of that generation,

She's perfect for the show.

I want to be
your background singer.

Oh, my gosh!

Daly: The artists
will pick their own songs.

We're one step away
from the live shows,

And i'm singing for my life.

I'm doing "hometown glory"
by adele.

That's a lot of pressure,
dude.
I got to k*ll this.

I'm gonna do "lost without u,"
by robin thicke.

So we want to know what
you're gonna do to this song.

Pharrell:
Song choices are huge,

And this is the moment

To either go big or go home.

♪in the house
of the rising sun ♪

Whoo!

♪she carries her dreams ♪

Whoo!

♪man, you oughta see her fly ♪

This performance is,
like, bonkers.

You slayed that.
You're ready
for the lives.

Christina: I really thought
this was the finale

And you just won "the voice."

Daly: And for our coaches,

Picking which artists
to advance to the live shows

Will be agonizing.
Ay-yi-yi.

Adam put two of his
four-chair turns
against each other.

Silly.
I think
you're an idiot.

I'll wait till
strawberry shortcake

Is finished.
[ laughter ]

Ugh.
Daly: But with each coach
having one final steal...

We got a steal!

...Season 10
will never be the same.

Oh!

I love it!

Daly: The knockouts
start right now.



I'm so glad you're my mentor
and not anybody else's.

I know that you really
just kind of phoned it in

For the other coaches.

Oh, you know it.

Miley relates to
every genre of music,

And she has a working knowledge
of all of those things.

Miley: You can always
do it your way.

I'm the prime example.

I mean,
she's performed pop music,

She came from country roots,

And she can share that knowledge
with all these artists.

This is the time
to show us coaches...

Yes!
...Who they want to be
moving forward as artists.

My strategy at this point is

I just want the best singers
that i can have

To go on to the live shows.

I paired angie versus paxton

Because these two
are my fighters.

They have such an attack
on their vocals.

I want to see
which one of these two

Can bring it out the strongest.

Aaaah!
Miley: Hello.

Hey!
[ laughs ]

Paxton: Miley's smart
and super talented,

And it was just so crazy

To be on the, like --
in the same room with her.

So, what's going on?
What are you doing today?

I'm doing "hometown glory"
by adele.

Yeah, that's stepping
into some big shoes, yeah.

This is a serious round.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's, like, an anthem
about your hometown,

And miami's
where i'm from.

Paxton: Before "the voice,"

I had a great career in dance,

But music has always been
in my heart.

♪i keep dancing on my own ♪

You know, seeing three chairs
turning around,

It was like a dream.

I don't know
that i've ever recognized

True greatness
so quickly.

I'm gonna go with blake.

Yes!

Paxton:
Even though i'm a pop artist,

I'm just excited
that i can continue to work

And learn from blake.

♪are the wonders of my world ♪

This song is perfect for me

Because it allows me
to show my range,

And i'm able to explore
new depths.

Miley: I even think
you can go bigger, like...

♪shows that we ain't
gonna stand it ♪

♪shows that we are united ♪

Yeah.
♪round my hometown ♪

I'm gonna try it like that.
You're so dope.

And you can go in there
being confident

And knowing that while
still showing off your tricks,

There's strong, big choices
that'll get remembered

Rather than
a lot of little tricks

That you don't
really remember

'cause they all
become one.
Yeah.

Paxton, i think, did a great job
of doing adele

And making it his own,

But also so great
with the words --

I mean,
really brought them to life.

paxton: Being that i am

The only pop artist
on a country team,

Having miley as an adviser
was just perfect.

♪of my world ♪

I like you ending
on that low note.

Wow.
Low notes
are impressive.

Most people try to make

The higher notes
the star of the show,

When i think a lot of the time

It can be, subtly,
the low notes,

Because not a lot of people
can actually hit them.

Don't ever lose
that conviction

That you have
when you sing,

Because
these knockout rounds,

The pressure
is unbelievable.

I want you to play every card
you have right now.

You know
what i'm saying?
Yes, sir.

Adele is always a problem

For anybody who --
who perf oisw,

But paxton
acan pull off anything.Em

Do you have any more
to say to him?
No, it's so good.

But you had a to st .

I always have
a lot to say veured out

Why miley's tongue
is out all the time.

It's because
they're always --

Why?
It's tired.

Aah!
[ laughs ]
"it's tired."

It's -- it's tired.
It needs to rest.

Angie:
I'm originally from el salvador.

My dad gave up a lot

For us to all
grow up in the states,

So me being on the show is an
enormous opportunity for me.

♪baby, let me tell you
something ♪

♪i hold on ♪

Blake: You are wild.

And to have a girl
take that approach

In country music --

It's about damn time
it happened.

[ cheers and applause ]

The winner of this battle
is angie.

[ cheers and applause ]
angie: Blake is an incredible
and intuitive guy.

Way to go, sis.
So, for me, blake is whose team
i want to stay on.

What are you
gonna be singing?
Angie:
I'm doing sam hunt.

I'm doing
"take your time."

It's got a lot of, like,
talking in it

And not --
not as much singing, right?

That's the challenge,

But i kind of changed it
so it's more melodic.

Angie: I respect sam hunt
a lot 'cause he always
does his own thing,

And i think
we're on the same page of,

You know, it's okay
to be different in country.

♪and i know your name ♪

♪'cause everybody in here
knows your name ♪

♪and you're not lookin' for
anything right now ♪

Blake:
Half the song is talking.

It's sam hunt's thing to do.
It's his own sound.

And when other artists
try to do it, it's tough.

The beginning --
i feel like you haven't

Quite mastered
having a grip on it yet.
No, yeah.

Not saying it can't be done,
'cause it can be done.

Miley: Yeah.
She's put a melody with it,
which is cool.

Right.
It's just figuring out

How to make
that same attitude work

While you're -- while you're
singing it, you know?
Yeah.

There's also a lot of little,
like, falloffs you're doing,

Like kind of --
i just call them squiggles.
Yeah.

I mean,
i don't know what they are.
And i'm speeding
through them.

So you're speeding
through them.

Maybe that's why
you can't catch yourself.

Like, let there be
a breath there.

Ah, i see.

I see what you're saying.
Okay, okay.

Angie:
Miley was unbelievable.

She's not just telling me
how i can improve vocally,

But, like, she really helped me
produce the whole song.

Angie, maybe just, like,

When my parents moved here,

[ voice breaking ] and, uh --

And if i were to win
or just keep going,

I think that, uh...

...Just letting them see that
it was all worth it.

See, i want to --
i like that arrangement.

I want to download
that version.
I like that arrangement.

This is why
we have miley cyrus here.

I like it. I like it.
I do, too.

[ cheers and applause ]

Daly: Big hand
for angie and paxton.

[ both speaking indistinctly ]

Nice job, both of you.

Let's get some thoughts.
We'll start with christina.

Angie, you have such
a great confidence

That you exude onstage,

And it's always fun
to watch you.

And then, paxton, you did seem
so connected to that song.

I felt like you were
definitely singing it about

Something specific to yourself
and your life.

You chose to show this rich,
low tone to your voice

That was really juicy,

And, you know,
i-i-i really enjoyed it.

Thank you.
Thank you, coach.
Pharrell?

Angie, the song didn't
measure up to your potential.

It didn't allow you
to just display that talent,

Those really amazing twirlies
that you do.

That being said, you're
naturally a great entertainer

As well as a great singer.

[ applause ]

Paxton,
those low notes...
Mm-hmm.

...And the kind of control
that you had down there

Was great.
Thank you.

Usually, that's where people,
like, fall apart,

But you were, like,
super solid.

So if i had to give it
to somebody,

I got to reward the zone

That you were in just now,
paxton.

Thank you.
Thank you, coach.
Adam?

Adam:
Angie, i still feel like

There's something
very special

About how much you put
into each performance.

You're very energetic,
and you have a lot of passion.

To me,
that goes a really long way.

Paxton, your voice just doesn't
sound like anybody else's.

That's worth
its weight in gold.

Thanks, adam.
All right, blake?

Blake: Man, i hate this.

I've got my --
all my favorites

Make it to the knockouts,

And then i got to say bye
to half of them.

Angie,
you're up for any challenge,

And you never choose anything
easy for yourself.

The song is mostly
just, like, is it a rap?

Would you call it a rap?

I wouldn't call it that.
It's kind of a rap,

And then it sings
in the chorus.

Parlance.
Parlance?

Yeah.
[ chuckles ]
god.

When you said "parlance"

And then
i looked past you,

I was thinking "parfait"

Because i was looking at
adam's hair,

And it made me think
of ice cream,

Like
a strawberry ice cream.

That's a --
oh, my god.

Anyway,
you're such an artist

That you want to dig in there
and figure out a way

To make those things
work for you.

Then, on the other hand,
paxton chose this song.

Lyrically, i can tell
that there's something about it

That means something
to you.

Everybody in this room could
see it and they could feel it,

And there's just
no denying that.

[ applause ]

Blake, tough decision.

Who is the winner
of this knockout?

Uh...

[ dramatic music plays ]

These are tough.

The winner of this knockout
is paxton.

[ cheers and applause ]
paxton, congratulations.

You're gonna move on
to the live playoffs...

[ both speaking indistinctly ]
...Representing blake shelton.

[ cheers and applause ]

Great job, man.

Thank you so much, blake.
Aah.

[ laughs ]

Going to live playoffs!
I'm excited!

It's everything
i've dreamed of, man.

I'm really stoked and blessed.

Thank you, god.

Coaches,
let me remind you

That angie's
available to steal.

Angie, anything you want to say
to coach blake?

Yeah,
a humongous thank you.

I feel like i've grown
so much on this show.

To all the coaches,
thank you guys so much.

A big hand for angie keilhauer,
everybody.
[ cheers and applause ]

Blake: The tough thing is,

Is we're seeing
some talented people go home,

But we're also starting to see
some stars emerge.

Paxton just flat-out
did an incredible job.

Moving forward,
i really want to see him

Do some fun, up-tempo stuff.

Awesome.

At this point,
i'm waiting to use my steal

For that kind of
amazing moment.

I'm really surprised.

I think blake's jokes
are kind of --

They're not up to par.

No, they're dumb
and unimaginative.

Something's up.
I don't care what you say
or you say,

That parfait thing
was spot-on.

[ laughs ]
that was a gift.

Daly: Coming up...

Oh, this is gonna be fun.

Daly: ...Superstar adviser
miley cyrus

Helps our coaches
prepare their teams...

With this song,
if you put it towards

Maybe the kids
that you work with...
Yeah, man.

...'cause then you'll kind of
make the song your own.

Daly: Welcome back to night one
of the knockouts!

At universal studios hollywood.

Blake:
You know what i'm thinking's

Gonna happen
for the first time ever today?

A four-chair steal.

[ chuckles ] i'm not sure
how it's possible.

That's not humanly possible,
you dummy.

[ christina chuckles ]
it's hard
to take you serious

With that on your head
right now.

Is that edible?
Is it -- does it have a taste?

Have you ever in your life

Done anything different
with your physical appearance?

This pays really well.

Sick of you.
All right,
i'm ready to push some buttons.

Whoo!
[ both laugh ]

Daly:
Let's check in with team adam.

Adam:
For the knockout rounds,

You start to really
narrow down your team

And who you're gonna be
working with.

I got a great team,
and i think my team

Has everything one would need
to win.

I paired owen and ryan.
They're really quite opposite.

I mean, owen is kind of
rough around the edges,

A little bit off
but in a great way,

And ryan is, like,
the much more polished singer,

But they're both
very valuable things to be.

Hey, owen.
Hey.

Owen, miley.
You don't have
a guitar on you,

Or you're getting a guitar?
I'm getting a guitar.

Yeah, we like the guys
with the guitar.
Yes.

Owen: I had no idea

That i would be
walking up to miley cyrus.

The best thing about the show,
to me,

Is getting to work with
and learn from all these people

That have such wonderful
experience.

She's a perfect example
of that.

Before the blinds,
i was living in new york,

Taking whatever gigs i could.

My dad was a musician
in the '70s.

His band had a #1 song
called "afternoon delight."

My dad's had a lot of success
as a musician,

But this can really
help validate

All the stuff
that i've been doing.

♪when your rooster crows
at the break of dawn ♪

♪look out your window ♪

You, owen, have
a very strong identity --

Very heartbreaking
and crushing and sensitive.

I pick adam.

Adam has pushed me
out of my comfort zone,

And i'm excited to keep
learning and progressing.

I'm happy that you are
singing a song that i
think is so different.

In terms of, like, what
i like to write and
stuff, this is, like,

What i aspire to do.
Let's do it.

For my knockout, i chose

"she's always a woman"
by billy joel.

It's so melodic,
and the lyrics are so amazing.

♪she can k*ll with a smile ♪

♪she can wound with her eyes ♪

It's about loving somebody
unconditionally,

And i think that's something
everybody can relate to.

♪me ♪

Some of my favorite performers,
they go inside.

Playing guitar and singing
with your eyes closed

Isn't a bad thing.

If you're gonna do it,
you need to go there.

To me, as, like,
the girl listening to this song

And what this song
is about...
Mm-hmm.

...There's something
more soulful and, like, sexier

About bringing it
back down smaller.

It might make it
feel more real.

Owen is someone that
the music industry could use.

I think we always need
real artists

That can play instruments.

And it's important
to know music from the past

To be able to make good music
in the future.

I see you questioning yourself
constantly...
Mm-hmm.

...So i'm begging you
to really dig deep

To understand the fact
that you're really good.

You're being paired
with ryan.

Scary -- super scary.

Like, i wouldn't want
to be paired with him.

But he doesn't have
something that you have,

And vice versa.

Owen:
Ryan's very much an amazing,

Incredible, technical singer.

If i don't try
to get out of my head,

I think i could
definitely be going home.

Sounds great, bro.
Thanks. Thanks.

Now you have to
believe that.
[ chuckles ]

Ryan: I'm lucky enough
to co-teach music classes

For children that have suffered

Varying s of trauma
in their lives.

Aside from working there,

I would play bar gigs,
restaurant gigs.

♪no, i can't find my
way home ♪

My music teacher was such
an inspirational guy.

So, hearing that you do that
is -- is really special.

I chose adam.

He seemed genuine,

And we have similar influences.

I'm bitter about that one.

The winner of this battle
is ryan.

Ryan:
I want to prove to adam

That i'm worth
keeping on his team.

Thanks, man.

You have that thick,
dense voice that's powerful

Even in
the top of your register.

There's only just one thing
i'll tell you.

Sing less and...
Feel more.

When pat wrote this song,

It was a song about his mother,
you know...
Right.

...And that's
deeply personal to -- to pat.
Of course.

In order for you
to -- to move forward,

You got to ascribe

A completely different meaning
to every song

That you're gonna do
here on out

And really let it
open you up.

With this song,
if you put it towards

Maybe the kids
that you work with,

If you think about that more,

'cause then you'll kind of
make the song your own.

Ryan:
Miley taught me that

I need to emote in my song
a little bit more.

So finding that connection
with my students,

I think, will really help
my performance.

I screw up,
but i think i might be

Really good at one thing,
which is being honest.

That's the only thing
i know how to do.

Worrying less about
what you're singing

And worry about kind of
why you're singing it.

Team adam.
Team adam.

Yeah, man.
Team adam all the way.

I just got that tatted
across my neck.

Miley: I'm just kidding.
I'm just kidding.

I'm gonna get in my seat.

Daly:
Big hand for owen and ryan.

[ cheers and applause ]

All right, let's hear what
the coaches have to say.

We'll start with blake.

Adam put two of his
four-chair turns
against each other.

Silly.
Balling.

[ laughter ]
ryan, man, you have
a really big voice.

I think you sang great --
and so did you, owen.

If i'm just weighing
what i just saw

And who was more invested
in the song and the lyric,

I believed owen.

[ applause ]
thank you, blake.
Christina?

Christina:
Ryan, rhythm-wise, it felt --

Couldn't find your way
a little bit,

But you're so precise.

It really is nice
when you hear things

That are so clean,

Especially when a male register
goes really high.

Owen,
i think you did own it.

You hit
that beautiful note.

I wasn't expecting
that dimension from you.

Daly: Thank you, christina.
Pharrell?

Pharrell:
Ryan, you did those two --

I call them
"star search" notes...

[ chuckles ]
...Where, like, you go

From one point
all the way to the top,

And it's kind of like,
"wow."

But i did detect

That you weren't
as plugged into this song

As the other songs
that you've sang before.

I have to say that
what you were doing today, owen,

It was just crazy, because
there were moments where --

It wasn't like
a whitney houston moment.

Be really weird
if it was, though.
It would be.

Yep.
[ laughter ]

You did this thing, like,

Where all of us
inside the room

Went into, like, folk land,
and it was kind of like,

"oh, man, this is why they
call the show 'the voice.'

I get it."

I personally
would go with owen,

But there's no reason
why any one of you

Couldn't make it
to the finals.

[ cheers and applause ]
daly: All right,
thank you, pharrell.

Adam, of course,
it is all up to you.

I think you both are --
are stark opposites.

Ryan,
you're a soulful dude.

I-i find it strange
that there's a little
bit of a disconnect

Between that soulful existence
that you live --

Sometimes the way you sing.

I want to crack that code
with you.

Owen, i can hear the questioning
of yourself onstage.

I can hear when you're
not questioning yourself,

'cause it's these soaring,
beautiful, amazing notes.

And you're smiling
'cause you know it's the truth.

Yeah.
So i-i want to solve that puzzle
with you, too.

But, you know, you both really
have what each other lack.

I don't know
what i want to reward here --

Proficiency and reliability
in ryan or --

I don't even know
what it is about you, owen.

You're just,
like, super special.

Who is the winner
of this knockout?

This sucks, man.
I don't know what i'm gonna do.

Pharrell: Wow.
Christina: Wow.

I feel you. I feel you.
You're passionate
about this one.

It's a testament to how good
they both just did.

Ay-yi-yi.

[ dramatic music plays ]

All right, i'm gonna go
with my heart on this one.

The winner
of this knockout...

Is owen.

Daly:
Owen, congratulations.

You're moving on
to the live playoffs

Representing team adam.

[ cheers and applause ]

Adam: Owen and ryan
was really tough,

But owen,
he's able to communicate

A little piece of
his heart and soul,

And i had to reward that today.

Are you gonna start to get
a little more confident?

Yeah, for sure.
Thank you.
All right.

I just want owen
to perform songs

That really mean
something to him,

'cause his
creative through-line

Is just doing things
that he's connected to

So that he can connect
with the audience.

Owen: I feel awesome about
getting through.

It's incredible.
I cannot wait to go to lives.

This is amazing.

Coaches, let me remind you
ryan is available to steal.

Ryan, anything
you want to say to adam?

Adam, thank you so much
for all of your help.

I feel like i've grown a lot
since working with you.

Whoa! We got a steal!

Christina aguilera!

Yeah!
[ cheers and applause ]

Christina steals ryan quinn
from team adam.

Hey, come here, buddy.
[ laughs ]

Congratulations.

I've been a fan of yours
since the blinds,

And i get my moment now
with you, so i'm excited.

[ laughing ]
thank you so much.
Go see your new coach.

Congratulations.

Christina:
Ryan, he's a no-joke singer.

I don't think the performance

But that's easily fixable.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Thanks, adam.

Team christina
was strong already,

But adding ryan just made it
that much stronger.

It was undeniable
what owen did.
Yeah.

It was undeniable.
Yeah,
you did the right thing.

Adam dropped the ball.
I'm so excited!

I'm so excited
to do this with you.
Thank you so much.

And miley's that.

She's like a young superhuman.

Daly: While pharrell and miley
get settled,

Let's look at his team.

Pharrell:
In the knockout rounds,
song choices are huge.

This is the moment
to either go big or go home.

Confident that my team
is going to do very well.

Hannah versus malik.

I paired them together
because i felt like,

You know, they have
two different ways

Of approaching soul singing.

So it'll be interesting to see
how this pans out.

Thank you for stealing me,
by the way.
Pharrell: Appreciate it.

I pushed my button for you
the first go-around --

In the blinds.

Malik: Before "the voice,"

I was in a lot of
athletic things,

And then i decided
in high school

That i wanted
to stick with music.

Next thing you know,
i'm at "the voice."

I worked with justin
when he was your age.

And britney, too,
by the way.

I worked with both of them
before he ever met them --

On "the mickey mouse club."

Blake: Ohh!
Here we go.

The "i have no fear,
i have only love,"

Is the best line ever.

katie:
Stevie tells this story

Where it just hit her.

She was gonna do
something big with her life,

And so i just feel like it
represents this moment for me.
See you, buddy.

I put my career
on hold for a bit

When my dad had heart surgery,

But now that he's better,
i feel like it's my time,

And i'm gonna show you
that i'm worth it,

Because this is what i want

Daly:
Give it up for katie and lacy

In a knockout round
for team blake.

[ cheers and applause ]

We'll give blake here
a second.

He's got to make
a really tough decision.

Christina,
you want to help him out?

I'm so happy you have lacy
on your team.

I'll start with katie.

I like this part
of the competition,

'cause everybody gets
to pick their own songs.

I thought that was
a great song choice.

You hit a lot of strong notes.
You were consistent.

A very clean performance.
Thank you.

And then, lacy,
coming out here, rocking out,

That's awesome.
[ chuckles ]

You just have
this great charisma about you,

And then you start
roaring out on that stage,

So i'm sure miley -- she must've
loved that performance.

Thank you.
Thank you,
coach christina.

Pharrell?

Katie, your song
had so many sweet spots

That highlighted different parts
of your ability,

And if i had to give
this knockout to someone,

I would probably
give it to katie.

Thank you.
Woman: Yeah!

Lacy, you just have,
like, your own thing.

Thank you.

There's something really
interesting about you,

And you have
all the tools in the shed.

Thank you.

Daly:
Thank you, pharrell.

Let's go to katie's
former coach, adam.

Hi, katie.
Hey, adam.

Katie,
you were phenomenal.

Even the short time
you've been on blake's team,

You've made these
leaps and bounds,

And amazing performance.
Thank you.

Lacy, there's so much

That we still have yet to see
that is gonna be amazing

Because of your power
and because of your
presence onstage.

Thank you.

All right, blake,
it all comes down to you, buddy.

Flawless.
It was beautiful.

Thank you.
And it was
a great song choice,

And you honored
the original,

But you also kind of
made it your own.

Lacy's this phenomenon
on the show

That everybody says
the same thing, you know,

"lacy, has this thing
about her."

You're just
really talented.

Thank you.

I have to make
a tough decision here.

[ dramatic music plays ]

I've got my fingers crossed
on this for both of y'all.

Uh...

I make myself a promise
as a coach

That i'm gonna reward the person
who sings the best,

So the winner
of this knockout is katie.

Katie, congratulations.

You will move on to
the live playoffs

And represent
team blake shelton.

[ cheers and applause ]

Thank you so much.
Great job.

Blake: Katie, i want to see her
become one of those artists

That embraces the '90s sound
of country music.

Thank you.
I think she could
really nail that

And put her own spin on it.

Coaches,
let me remind you

That lacy
is available to steal.

Lacy, anything you want to say
to coach blake?

Lacy: Um...

Whoa! We got a steal!

Pharrell williams!

[ cheers and applause ]

[ chuckles ]
how you doing?
Thank you so much.

Oh, my god.
Thank you,
thank you, thank you.

I love it!

Yay!

Whoa!

Daly: That's the sound of
a second steal...
Yes!

Daly: ...For lacy!

[ laughs ]

I can't let that happen.

Daly: You are back on the show
in a big way.

Well, pharrell, you pressed
your button immediately.

If you're willing to work,

There's just a couple of things
that i would have you work on,

And just shine a light on

Some of those
other tools in the shed

So that you can go all the way
to the end of the show.

Thank you.
Thank you, coach.
Adam?

[ applause ]

Adam:
I love pharrell.

It hurts me to say things

Like i'm about to say
right now.

[ laughter ]

I believe that,
when making a decision,

Just think
about the fact that

My wonderful brother right here
that i love so much did say

That he would rather
have the other person
on his team than you.

I didn't say that.
He did --

I mean, he kind of did
actually say that.

No, i didn't.
Wow.

That's different.
Adam really wants you.

He's gunning hard
for you.

We're brothers,
but you're, like --
i love you.

You're stretching it
a little bit.

I never once
said to you --

I don't know what about,
"the other girl won,"

We're not understanding
here,

But it seems like
that's what was said.

This is the nicest fight
i've ever seen.
All right.

[ laughs ]

The super bowl
is the super bowl.

Whoever won, won,

But it doesn't mean
the team that lost

Can't come back and win
the next year.

But we're still
in this season, though.

[ laughter ]

I know who's made
the emotional connection

And investment in you
very early on.

Do you know
who you want?

[ dramatic music plays ]

Um...

I'm gonna have to go
with my heart, and...

...I'm going to have to choose
pharrell.

[ cheers and applause ]

Daly: Pharrell steals
lacy mandigo from team blake.

Thank you,
thank you, thank you,

Thank you,
thank you, thank you.

I thought for sure
just now

You were gonna go
with adam...
Really?

...And i was like,
"aw, man. All right. Cool."

You've had my heart
since the beginning.

Lacy's a rock star.

Now it's about
making it real.

For the knockout rounds,

This is a really great moment,

Because we get to see

The kind of artists
that they want to be.

And i think the majority
of the talent this year

Is on team christina.

I paired alisan and daniel

Because they both
are storytellers

And give such
authentic performances.

Christina: Hi!

Hello!
Alisan: Aah!

Oh, this is gonna be fun.

Yes, i know.

Miley's here.
I like your style.

Alisan:
Our adviser is miley cyrus,

And i was so stoked.

She started in this business
super young

And has made her way up,

And it gives me hope

That i still can do
what i came here to do.

I started when i was 7.
Yeah.

I don't know
when -- when you started.

Yeah, like, same.
Around that.
You were 5, though.

Yeah.
Yeah.

It's weird being here,

Because i feel like all
the things that i have done,

Like, this was always
my original dream.

When i was younger,

I did a lot of
television and film,

And later i ended up
using drugs and alcohol.

All of those things.
I would be scared, too,

make some eye contact.

Awesome.

I kind of questioned doing

A quiet, vulnerable song,

is something i need to do

me and a piano.
Yeah.

That's true.

I went to you concert,

Was when you broke it down

In a knockout
for team christina.

Nice job, guys.

Pharrell,
what are you thinking?

Young man, your ambition
is just all the way up here.

You fought your way
out of that corner.

In my opinion,
you slayed that.

Thank you.
Thank you so much.

[ cheers and applause ]

Alisan, your performance
was masterful.

You're a seasoned,
seasoned artist,

And you're so ready
for the game.

Aww.
I would give this

But, dude,
you are something special.

Thank you.
Thank you so much.

Thank you, pharrell.
Adam?

Daniel,
i've continued to be

More and more impressed
with you every time.

You got the chops.
You're moving around.

You have a certain
confidence that i don't
think you came here with.

I think that you've
got what it takes.
I rea-- i really do.

Thank you so much.

Alisan, i do believe
you're something special,

And we're gonna see
a lot more of you.

Amazing job.

Alisan came out here
and did what she does,

Which is magic.

Then daniel reacted in a way
that he needed to,

Which is you swung
for the fence,

And it was --
it was great.

I mean, i think both of you
sing incredibly well.

All things being equal,
the pain-and-heartache song,

When it connects
like it did with alisan,

That was so overwhelming.

For that reason,
alisan won that.

Thank you, blake.
Thank you.

Christina,
it all comes down to you.

What do you think?

Oh, man.

Alisan, i feel like you're
just a gift to our show.

Every time you come out here,

There's just
a different element

To what you bring
to the table

And something new
to discover.

You know how to use
your god-given instrument,

And it's amazing
what you do.

you're gonna do to this song,
'cause i know this song.

Shalyah: For this
knockout round, i'll be singing

"a broken wing"

I can relate to this song
a lot

Because my family,
we've been going through a lot,

And despite of it all,
we get through it.

And when i was 14,
my mom lost her job.

Miley: Country music,

It's usually not about
singing perfectly.

It's about telling a story,
and you're allowed to change it

To make it
tell more of your story.

Think more about the lyrics.

It's a song that isn't
supposed to be a spiritual song,

But it is.

It's like, "i am giving you
everything right now."
yeah.

Shalyah: With all the notes
miley gave me

And all the notes
pharrell gave me

And putting it in one,

I'm gonna show pharrell
that i want to learn

And that i am learning.

I hope he sees it.

♪you know you can't
hold me forever ♪

For my blind audition,

Never in a million years
did i expect

Four chairs to turn for me.

I was just so overwhelmed
and grateful.

It's just a super-fresh,

Effervescent approach
to singing.

I pick pharrell.

I'm still a junior
in high school,

So i feel blessed and honored
to be working with pharrell.

I felt so ready
to move forward with him

And get more guidance.

What's going on, emily?

Oh, my gosh.
Miley: I was just
tripping out.

You and i have
the same birthday.
Oh, my --

And our names
are the same

If we switch
a few letters around.

Kind --
actually, my nickname

Used to be e-miley
because of that.
No way.

Hello.
Nice to meet you.

I will be singing
"big yellow taxi"
by joni mitchell

For the knockouts.

♪they paved paradise
and put up a parking lot ♪

I chose this song
because i wanted pharrell

To see me up there with
my guitar, because i feel like

That's one of my biggest
strengths as a performer.

I'm so sorry.

During the first run-through,
i flubbed on the lyrics.

In that moment, i was like,
"oh, no.

No, no, no, no, no."

Nerves do not help.

The only thing they do
is make it worse.

Yeah.
But with not worrying
about anything,

You do your best.

You even fail better.

Pharrell: Emily is
super-unique and gifted.

She's made a wise choice
with this song.

Miley:
I think it'll be good for emily

If someone can see
a little bit of joni in her.

We need someone like that
a first verse,ndustry righybe f,

It's just her and the guitar
in the beginning.
Mm-hmm.

♪they paved paradise

And then maybe let them
come in.

Mm. Mm-hmm.
I like it.

Just so it seems like --
a little bit more dramatic.

Miley:
Yeah, just dramatic.
Okay.

There's not gonna be a band
behind me at the beginning,

And that's an extremely
vulnerable place to be.

I'll be a little scared,

But with
miley and pharrell's guidance,

I'll be able to take this song
to the next level.

This is fun with you,
by the way.

Fun.

'cause
i'm obsessed with it.

I'm, like,
a competitive freak...
Right?

...That loves
to watch people.

With "big yellow taxi,"
here is emily keener.

Daly: Well, there you go.
Big hand for emily...

Yeah!
...And shalyah

In an epic knockout to move on
to the live playoffs.

That was dope!

Pharrell,
what a great knockout round,

But a tough decision
for you, sir.

Wow.
Adam,
give us your thoughts.

Emily, when we all four
turn for somebody,

It's like the pressure's on
in a way.

It's like you got to stay

There or above it
in our minds.

And i've never really
heard anyone do that song

The way
it was supposed to be done.

It was really cool.

But the revelation to me today
was shalyah.

Whoa. That was crazy.

The confidence
that you did that with...

Mm-hmm.

...And just the vibe
and, like, damn, man.

Yeah, man.
Thank you.

I dare pharrell to make you
available to me.

Daly: Thank you, adam.
Blake?

Blake:
You know, emily,

There is something
so different about you

And a little bit vintage
but a little bit new,

And i don't know how to explain
it, but it's special.

It's very special.

Thank you so much.
Thank you.

Am i saying
"shawl-yah" right?

"shall-yah."
shalyah: "shall-yah."

Did i say it right?
Yeah, you said it right.

Whoo!
[ laughter ]

You almost had it, blake,
so i give you credit.

Thank you. Thank you.
Aww.
You said it wrong, though.

Wah.

[ laughter ]
[ chuckles ]

You're stupid.
Did you have
a my little pony

When you were a kid, too?

[ laughter ]
'cause i've got one...

...As an adult
that follows me around.

So it's --
they haunt you.

Anyway, you know i love
that song that you just sang.

I mean,
it's such a powerful song,

And you did
an incredible job.

I-i got to agree with adam.
I-i think you took this one.

Thank you.
Christina?

Christina: Blown away.

This was definitely
the best knockout i've seen.

Emily, you're gentle
yet powerful.

You make people take notice,

And i appreciate
what you do very much.

I pushed my button for you
in the blinds,

And you didn't pick me,

But i did push my button
for shalyah,

And i was
the only one to do it,

And i can't believe
they slept on you.

[ laughs ]

I really thought
this was the finale show

And you just won "the voice."

Aww, thank you.
[ chuckles ]
like, that was crazy.

Daly: Thank you, christina.
Thank you, coaches.

Pharrell,
it all comes down to you.

Emily, you definitely took
all of the notes

That miley gave
with the intro.

You know, i loved the way
you always ended the song

With the high
and then the super-low.

Thank you.
I love that.

And, shalyah,
you took the notes,

And then you
came in here today,

And you just --
you were just swinging for,

Like, the parking lot.
[ laughs ]

The fence wasn't enough
for you, you know?

You wanted to, like,
knock someone's window out.

[ laughter ]

You guys are
15 and 17 years old

And so much more
musically mature

Than a lot of grown-ups are
just in their own lives, period.

Thank you.
In that respect,

I just want to say that
both you guys k*lled this.

Thank you.
Thank you very much,
pharrell.

[ cheers and applause ]
that being said,

I do have to make
a decision.

Coach, who's the winner
of this knockout?

[ dramatic music plays ]

Gonna go with my gut here
for you guys.

Um...

[ dramatic music continues ]

The winner of this knockout
is emily.

Emily, congratulations.

You are moving on
to the live playoffs.

Thank you so much.
Good job.

Thank you.

Emily's very interesting,
in a singer/songwriter way,

To be 17 years old,
to be so grounded.

[ cheers and applause ]

What?!

I am just so grateful

To be continuing on the show
with pharrell.

I just...

Daly:
Coaches, a quick reminder --

Shalyah
is available to steal.

We've got a steal!

Adam levine steals...
Oh, my god!

...15-year-old shalyah...
Whoo!

....Away from pharrell.

Thank you
for stealing me!

That means so much.
Whoo! You're amazing.

I stole shalyah 'cause i was
shocked that she was available.

I mean, she gave
the performance of the night.

[ cheers and applause ]

Shalyah: Wow!

I am honored
to still be here right now,

That adam wanted to steal me.

I'm so happy!

[ chuckles ]

Really excited.
Aah!

Thank you!

I can't wait,
because you're so young

That, like, this is the age
where you get good at it,

And we watched you
get good at it.

Thank you. Thank you!
I'm so happy.

I'm so happy to have you.
I'm shocked that i have you.

But i'm also
very, very happy.
Thank you.

Thank you so much.
Nice to meet you, mom.

Whoo!
Aah!
