02x19 - Live Semi-Final Eliminations

[bunniefuu]

Welcome to "The Voice."

We are live!

I'm Carson Daly.

Say hi to your coaches.

Mr. Adam Levine.

Cee Lo Green, Christina Aguilera and Mr.
Blake Shelton.

Well, it's a packed house.

This is it, everybody.

This is the night we find out
who will represent their coach

in next week's finals.

The top two artists from
each team are here.

One will be going home, the other
will move on and possibly win it all.

And if they look a little nervous
It's for a very good reason.

Tonight, there are no last
chance performances, no saves.

Your votes, combined with the coaches'
scores determine the final decision.

We have a big show, too.

Full of homecomings.

Our final four from season one
Dia Frampton, Vicci Martinez,

Beverly Mcclellan and season one
winner Javier Colon... will

perform, with special appearances
by Kid Cudi, Cyndi Lauper and coach

Cee Lo Green.

Before we get started, let's
take a look at last night's

performances, where all eight of our
semi-finalists held nothing back.

Tonight our eight semifinalists
are all performing but only half

of them will advance to next week's finals.

This was an amazing night.

My team has k*lled tonight.

™? How you like me now ♪

♪
How you like me now ♪

that was bad a*s.

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

™? k*lling me softly ♪

it's hard to believe
just a matter of months ago you were

sitting in a cubicle.

I know the obvious choice would be Tony.

Take a look at Katrina Parker.

She's a star.

I'm so proud.

Anybody from any team could pull this out.

Team Blake has been flying under the radar.

Now it's time for them to break out.

More than that, Erin, I'd give anything
to have the strength that you have.

I love you for that, Erin.

™? So I'll come to you ♪

Jermaine, you
are a crazy talented vocalist.

I wish I had pushed my button.

You are no longer a
background singer, my friend.

That's the guy you have to beat.

You should have been saying
that about Jermaine.

Tonight was the best
episode of "The Voice."

Makes me proud not as a coach
but just as a fan of music.

Stellar performance tonight, sir.

You really are the epitome of the show.

I felt the heavens open up.

Not everybody in this
competition could perform that

as gorgeously as you just did it.

™? I told you to be patient ♪

That reminded me
why I loved you to begin with.

I love that everybody on the
show are completely unique.

What can I say?

Everybody knows I'm a big Lindsey fan.

That was so great.

Tonight, everybody brought their a game.

™? Just get yourself together ♪

♪ Or we might
as well say good-bye ♪

My teams were
two of the best well prepared.

™? If you don't know me by now ♪

I was like,
oh, man, where's my mic.

I got motivated to start singing.

I wanted him to do something
intimate for once.

Say here I am.

It's me, me alone and all that I am.

™? It's a man's, man's world ♪

You k*lled it.

You m*rder*d that!

I sing for me.

That's where you sing from, too.

I love that about you.

You're the one to beat tonight.

You're the one to beat.

I think I know who won tonight, but
we do have competition out here.

Incredible performances.

We're proud to mention that all
eight of our artists charted on

iTunes last night.

Let's start with the coaches.

Blake, let's start with you.

What?

Your artists are feeling the pressure.

How are your nerves tonight?

It's more than just nerves.

It's a sick feeling.

It's bittersweet.

You're as happy as you can be for one
and sad as you can be for the other.

Music isn't meant to be a
competition, but here we are at

"The Voice" and only one moves on.

It sucks but it's great.

Christina, you said it would
come down to the performance.

How do you compare Lindsey and Chris?

You can't compare them
in the same category.

They are diverse, unique, amazing talents.

It's comparing apples and oranges.

This is the moment of truth.

It's really exciting and also sad.

I know someone I care about and
have been on a very exciting

journey with is going to go home tonight.

Cee Lo, you're a sensitive guy.

You're close with Jamar and Juliet.

It must be tugging at you hard that
one of them is going home tonight.

How are you feeling?

I'm very uncomfortable.

It's very awkward, but it
is the nature of the show.

It's something that I have to accept.

I'm not enjoying it though.

Adam, you had Javier Colon who was
a front-runner from the beginning.

How have you seen Tony and Katrina
grow throughout the show?

It's hard for us.

We don't want to send
either one of them home.

We have seen tremendous improvement.

Specifically with me.

I don't want to have to do this.

I think everybody agrees it's a
crappy part of the show for us.

We believe in these two.

There is a reason they got this far.

Got to do what we've got to do.

It's the moment of truth.

Got to happen now.

We've got to do it at some point.

Before we get to difficult eliminations,
let's welcome back a singer/songwriter

who earned a lot of fan support.

Tonight she's joined by Kid Cudi.

Please welcome Dia Frampton.

Dia Frampton and Kid Cudi!

Her new album "Red" is available right now.

Coming up... will Chris Mann or
Lindsey Pavao be the finalist

for team Christina?

We're about to find out.

"The Voice" will be right
back, live on NBC.

Welcome back to "The Voice!"

Tonight, our four finalists
will be revealed.

But first... let's check in with
Christina Milian in the Sprint lounge.

Hey, Christina.

Thanks, Carson.

I'm back here with the final
four of the first season.

We have Javier, Dia, Vicci and of
course Beverly hanging out back here.

What's it like to be back and how
did the show change your life?

In a lot of ways.

All of us recorded an album, available now.

I got to work with Blake
Shelton which was amazing.

What about you?

It's been incredible.

I got to sing with Stevie Wonder.

Got to release an album.

Tour dates with Maroon 5 this summer.

It's been amazing.

Do you have advice for the
finalists going on tonight?

Just be yourself.

You got here by being yourself.

Continue that on and you'll be
happy every step of the way.

Beverly?

Don't forget to have fun.

That's what it's all about.

Have fun.

All right.

Thank you, Carson.

Back to you.

Good to see our old friends
in the building tonight.

Before the results let's
talk about how it works.

The scores from America and the scores
from the judges carry equal weight.

Both scores are out of 100
and carry equal weight.

We'll add those two numbers
together, and the artist with

the highest score will advance
to next week's finals.

Okay, Christina's team is up
first with Chris Mann and

Lindsey Pavao... two artists who had
stand-out performances last night.

Take a look.

™? Ave Maria ♪

I love that Chris
has come on the show with opera.

He was just so gorgeous in his delivery.

I was really proud of Chris.

I definitely gave it all I
had to go to the finals.

I hope America will put
somebody through like me.

™? And I told you to be patient ♪

I love seeing
Lindsey in her element.

I loved her on the guitar.

I thought she was great tonight.

Lindsey and Chris are exceptional
vocalists in their own right.

I did give it all.

I just hope people connected
to it the way I did.

™? My, my, my ♪

All right.

With me on stage are Chris and Lindsey.

Christina, we know how close
you have gotten to your team.

How difficult is this moment right now?

It's awful.

I have the sick feeling Blake was
talking about earlier right now.

I'm not going to get as emotional
tonight as I have been.

I feel like no matter what after this
point you both are winners to me anyway.

You made it this far.

Honestly, there is no way that
anyone can compare the two of

you except again that this is a
competition because someone has

to move forward and someone has to go home.

But by no way, shape or form
is it the end of the road for

either of you for sure.

You know that.

All right.

Here we go.

After last night's performances, Christina
split up 100 points between you.

Let's see Christina's scores.

An even 50/50 split.

Explain that, Christina.

You know, I had to make a lot of decisions.

There is a reason why I
ended up with these two.

Again, it's hard to compare and
break down their individual

talent because they are both so far apart.

I really wanted to let America
have the opportunity to put

their two cents in and be the
deciding factor in this case.

All right.

Let's see how America voted.

These votes could change everything.

Chris, Lindsey.

All your hard work comes down
to this moment right here.

Are you ready?

Here we go.

When we add America's score to
Christina's score, the artist

advancing to the finals is...

Chris Mann!

The finalist for team Christina.

Congratulations.

We'll see you in the finals.

Chris, congratulations.

You can go.

Lindsey Pavao.

Any final words?

Thank you, Christina, for everything.

You made my dreams come true.

Thank you to America.

It's been wonderful.

And to the show.

"The Voice," Romeo Johnson,
everybody who make this is

beautiful amazing magic happen, thank you.

How about a big hand for Lindsey Pavao?

It's an emotional night on "The Voice."

Coming up, coach Cee Lo joins
husband season one finalist

Vicci Martinez on stage.

Then will it be Tony or Katrina moving on?

We'll find out.

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

Welcome back to "The Voice"
Live eliminations!

Before the break, we found
out that Chris Mann will be

representing team Christina in the finals.

Now, one of our coaches joins his
season one finalist on stage.

Her powerful voice and passionate "w*r
Dance" won Cee Lo over from the very

beginning.

With her new single, "Come Along," please
welcome Vicci Martinez with her coach

Cee Lo Green.

Vicci Martinez and Cee Lo Green, everybody!

Look out for Vicci's new EP "Come Along."

It is out today.

Now, let's go over to team Adam.

Before we see the results, let's
take another look at Katrina and

Tony's performances from last night.

™? Strumming my pain with his fingers ♪

with her voice having
this sexy smoky thing that I really love.

She couldn't do any better.

This song is so iconic.

I really tried to put my spin
on it and lay it all out.

™? Oh ♪

♪ If I
sing a sad, sad song ♪

♪ Would
you give it to me ♪

I don't think there's
been anybody yet who's had that much

command of the stage.

Like James Brown.

Kicking a*s and lighting it up.

That was my favorite song so far.

™? How you like me now ♪

With me are
Katrina and Tony from team Adam.

Adam, any final words for your artists?

Guys, this has been so incredible.

Both of you have just improved so
much and really come into your own.

Both of you, really.

You make me so happy.

I don't want to do this.

Just so you know where my head is at.

I look at this as a victory.

I see you and it's really not so
much about winning "The Voice"

as it is about using the exposure
"The Voice" has given you.

The two of you can do whatever you want.

Everyone knows who you are.

You win.

But it is a game.

You've got to play the game.

Someone does have to win, unfortunately.

I think beyond this the sky's
the limit for both of you.

I really do believe that.

Let's get to it.

Last night Adam split up
100 points between you.

It's now time to see Adam's scores.

40 for Katrina, 60 for Tony.

Do you want to explain your decision?

I cannot hear you.

Do you want to explain why you went 60/40?

This boils down to I believe
you are both equally talented.

When you see a 60/40 up there
it's not because I think he's

much more talented than you.

It means my connection to Tony,
we get each other in a way that

could lead him to win this thing.

For you, I would say if there
was a most improved, I honestly

believe of all the contestants
you are far and away the most

improved I have seen.

So this is not the end.

This is by no means the end for you.

In fact, you made it to the very end.

So there is nothing but wonderful feelings.

You should be so proud of yourself.

You know, this is not...

my love for you started and moved slowly.

Now I'm at the point where
I love you the most.

I love you more than I ever have.

With Tony it was an instant, for
lack of a better term, they talk

about Blake and I and bromance.

Makes me want to barf.

But please know I think you are incredible.

Congratulations.

Okay.

It's not over.

Now it's time to see how America voted.

Ready?

Here we go.

When we add America's store
to Adam's score, the artist

advancing to the finals is...

Tony Lucca.

Congratulations to Tony Lucca.

We'll see you at the finals
representing team Adam.

Katrina Parker.

Beautiful woman here.

I went into your office building
when you were sitting behind a

cubicle and scared the hell out of you.

You did.

What a journey.

The transformation from that moment to now.

Yes.

You're a beautiful person and
have been incredible on the show.

Any final words?

God...

just thank you to Adam for believing in me.

Thank you to the coaches
for your generous words.

Thank you to everyone
who works on the show.

You love us.

You care for us.

It means so much.

It's been a great experience.

Thank you.

Give it up for Katrina Parker, everybody.

Big hand.

Thank you.

When we come back, season one finalist
Beverly Mcclellan!

Welcome back to "The Voice!"

We are live!

It is indeed an emotional night
of eliminations and homecomings.

Let's see what's going on with
Christina Milian in the Sprint lounge.

Christina?

We have Chris Mann and Tony
Lucca who are freaking out.

They just moved forward.

How do you feel?

Yeah, like we moved forward
to some edge or something.

I don't know.

It's weird.

What about you, Chris?

I'm genuinely in shock and humbled by this.

I'm very, very thankful.

Thank you so much.

Let's keep celebrating.

I have something.

I want you to come with me.

Our girl Erin Willett,
it's her birthday today.

Happy Birthday!

Thank you.

Any wishes that you have for your birthday?

I don't know.

I just want to have a great night tonight.

No matter what happens.

Cupcake!

O hey!

So delicious.

We are so happy for you.

Thank you so much.

Back to you, Carson.

Thank you.

Happy Birthday, Erin.

From the beginning of season
one, Beverly Mcclellan blew us

all away with her powerful voice and
larger-than-life stage presence.

Tonight, she's back.

Don't forget to check out Beverly's
new album "Fear Nothing."

That was fun.

Coming up, who will be the finalist
for team Blake... Erin or Jermaine?

Plus a performance from
Javier Colon when "The Voice"

continues live on NBC.

Welcome back to "The Voice."

Before we find out who will 3
f1 represent team Blake in next

week's finals, we have
one more performance.

Last year, he made all four of
the coaches turn around during

his blind audition.

His emotional performances took
him all the way to the top.

Performing his single, "A Drop

season one winner of "The
Voice"... Javier Colon!

Javier Colon everybody!

His new album "Come Through
For You" is available now.

Now, let's turn to team Blake.

We're about to reveal your
finalist, but first, let's take

a look at how Erin and
Jermaine did last night.

Erin did an incredible job tonight.

She's so good.

It's undeniable.

I kind of just like took it
all in and couldn't believe

where I was and what I was doing.

So hopefully it was just... good.

™? This empty house seems so cold ♪

Jermaine
is the guy to beat.

He brought it 100%.

™? So now I come to you ♪

♪ With open arms ♪

I hope I
got America's vote today.

I left my heart on that stage.

™? Open arms ♪

Erin Willett and Jermaine Paul
from team Blake are with me now.

Blake, what do you want
to say to your artists?

Just that I have so much respect for
both of you and for different reasons.

Jermaine took a huge step by
auditioning for The Voice and

walking away from a really good gig and
a great job he had with Alicia Keys.

He wanted to do this to follow
his dreams and for his family.

That's a big deal.

He just goes for broke and I
have a lot of respect to you,

Jermaine, for doing that.

And also, Erin... and people may
or may not realize Erin has been

through personal hell and back
during the course of this show.

From, you know, losing her father
and I can relate to you with that.

It almost happened at the same time.

But she stands there and even
right now she's standing up

there and just has so much strength.

I just admire her for that today.

On top of that and besides all
of that you're looking at

two of the best vocalists on the
planet standing up there together.

I hope I get a picture.

I'm serious.

It blows my mind.

Thank you, Blake.

Here we go.

Blake had to divide 100 points
between the two of you.

Let's see Blake's scores.

An even 50/50 for Erin and Jermaine.

Blake, why these scores?

Because, there's not one thing
about either one... I want

people to know there is not an
ego on stage besides Carson.

There is no ego.

You're looking at two really good
people who are just trying so hard.

They're both really great at what they do.

I don't want to be a part of the
decision-making process anymore.

They have done everything they can do.

I feel like I've done everything I can do.

It's up to America now.

Okay, it's time to add America's votes.

Erin, Jermaine... the moment of truth.

When we add America's score
to Blake's score, the artist

advancing to the finals is...

Jermaine Paul.

Congratulations.

You're representing team Blake
in the finals of "The Voice."

I love you.

I love you, too.

Congratulations.

Go see your family.

Erin has been so much
fun to have on the show.

Honestly.

Blake spoke about what you have
had to endure during this season.

I got to meet your family in
the very, very beginning.

He brings up a good point.

Where do you get your strength?

I don't know.

I was just raised by a beautiful
mother and father and I have

just always been told to
be myself, no matter what.

I'm so... I never thought I
would be this far in this

competition and I never knew the road
that was ahead of me when I started it.

I'm so thankful for this and Blake and
everyone who is a part of the show.

The contestants.

Everyone backstage.

It's incredible.

It's life-changing.

You have been a pleasure
to have on the show.

You should celebrate your birthday tonight.

You have a lot to celebrate
with your family.

I will!

Thank you so much.

I love you, man!.

Thank you.

Final moments with her coach.

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

We love you, Erin Willett.

I've got Juliet and Jamar over here.

The final moment is about to happen.

Is there anything you want
to say to each other?

I want to say we are two artists
going for the same goal.

I appreciate you.

I believe in you.

You k*lled it last night.

Good luck to you both.

Thank you.

Back to you, Carson.

Thank you, Christina.

When we come back it's Jamar versus Juliet.

Who will represent team Cee Lo?

We'll see in a few.

Welcome back to "The Voice!"

Here's where we stand so far.

In the finals next week Chris
Mann from team Christina, Tony

Lucca from team Adam and
Jermaine Paul from team Blake.

Before we find out Cee Lo's
scores, let's take one more look

at how Juliet and Jamar
performed last night.

™? If you don't know me by now ♪

♪ You will
never, never know me ♪

tonight I got to show
people I can stand still, make a song

really mine and sing from the heart.

™? Just get yourself together ♪

he's a solid vocalist.

He's strong all the way around.

™? What good is a love affair ♪

♪ If we
can't see eye to eye ♪

she did a wonderful job.

Best performance of the night.

™? This is a man's, man's world ♪

I would say that was
the most honest, heartfelt, best

performance I have given on stage so far.

I feel exhilarated.

Jamar Rogers and Juliet
Simms are with me now.

Cee Lo, you have been their
biggest cheerleader from day one.

What do you want to say to
your two artists right now?

I want to say that it has been
well documented by myself

and others that I have arguably the
best contestants on this show.

What's so special about this show
is that the blind auditions.

I have to commend the both of you.

With my back turned you
reassured me that my ears, my

heart, my emotion, my integrity,
these things were still intact.

As jaded as you can become in
this industry, we all have been

comfortable with a time or two
you revitalized me, breathed

life into me to find so much
divine talent and ability.

I really appreciate the both of
you for entrusting so much in me.

I'll be forever in your debt for
that trust and love and affection.

And I will forever unconditionally
love the both of you.

I mean that completely, sincerely.

Thank you, Cee Lo.

All right.

Let's do it.

Let's see Cee Lo's scores.

40/60 Jamar to Juliet.

Cee Lo, explain that.

Let me tell you why.

Let me just explain why.

I judged last night's performances.

I wanted to be honest, critical and fair.

I didn't... I could have did the
50/50 thing because you guys are

incomparable and that's
no insult to anyone.

I'm just saying that the
performance last night, Juliet's

performance last night was so
obviously beautiful and striking

and strong and Jamar, you have
been the consistent front-runner

this entire time.

America loves you, sir.

I love you.

But I'll tell you why.

And this is an issue that I
had this time last year.

It was just something
technically or sonically that I

couldn't hear and appreciate the complete
thought of what we attempted to do.

But you compromised for me on so
many occasions I owed you that

opportunity to believe in you.

I just felt like it didn't
translate completely but it was

not a matter of your vocal performance.

It was as stellar as usual.

So that was my only critical judgment.

Thank you, Cee Lo.

It's time to add America's votes.

Jamar, Juliet... one of you will
be Cee Lo's finalist and one

will be leaving us tonight.

Are you ready?

Here we go.

When we add America's score
to Cee Lo's score, the artist

advancing to the finals is...

Juliet Simms is the
finalist for team Cee Lo.

Congratulations to Juliet.

Jamar, any last words?

Quickly?

I never thought I would make it this far.

Thank you.
