Adam levine, how did we start
tonight?

>> wow, guys, nick, I'm so
happy.

This is so great.
This is the first time I've seen

Someone this late in the game
being irreverent saying I want

To have fun and enjoy myself.
I don't want to make it this

Heavy thing.
It is so cool.

Not only do we see a different
side of you, the crazy kicking

Side.
But we also just meant like

Sometime we forget that this is
so entertaining and fun.

And man, I'm so happy that you
decided to take this moment and

Just entertain this crowd and
have a good time.

>> hey, baby.
>> carson: Blake shelton?

>> he's right.
That was so much fun.

And no matter what happens from
here forward, I'm sure you'll be

Expecting a call from the
rockettes.

Those are some serious hot
kicks.

That was just fun.
I am, too, glad that you went

There with it and just had fun
with this thing.

Tonight is a celebration.
You made it one.

>> carson: Thank you, blake.
And now your coach, cee lo

Green, what did you think?
>> yeah.

Adam makes a good point.
Sometimes we forget how fun this

Is supposed to be.
Your honesty is always

Appreciated.
Your humiliated is always,

Always heart-warming.
But your fire tonight burned

This heart down.
[ cheers and applause ]

I've got to give credit where it
was due.

We were going back and forth
about some different options,

Man, and really, really, you
know, end this thing with a

Bang.
And it's like, it was such a

Wonderful idea.
I loved it.

I'm forever a fan of yours.

>> carson: Representing team
blake, cassadee pope!

Coaches, some thoughts on that.
A great moment for cassadee.

We'll start with miss christina
aguilera.

>> hi, cassadee.
First of all you look drop dead

Gorgeous!
[ cheers and applause ]

I got to be playful but you look
stunning.

I love that dress on you.
I'm so enamored by your whole

Presence tonight.
Your stage presence.

Your voice, you nailed that song
once again.

You give it such heart and such
great emotion.

I just, your coach can
completely sing anything so the

Sky is the limit for you.
It's your choice, pop, country,

Anything.
I'm still sad you're blake but

What a perfect place.
When a perfect fit for you.

>> carson: Thank you, christina.
Adam?

>> hi, cassadee.
You're so shiny.

Yeah.
I mean -- so what?

You know, the thing I've noticed
about your voice over time is

How you've developed just as an
instrument.

You know, you've developed your
voice so much.

It is so finely tuned and so
strong.

You have so much to be proud of.
Look at you.

I think we're all very proud of
everybody left in this thing.

And you're really shiny which is
really awesome.

>> carson: Coach blake shelton.
>> you know how I feel about

That song and you singing it.
It is perfect.

And sitting here watching the
song always seems to be

Appropriate.
And right now with america's

Heart is heavy right now.
And that's about healing.

And to remove you from it and me
from it is just, it was just a

Great moment.
Somehow starts the healing

Process.
That's what music does and can

Do.
And gosh dang it, cassadee.

You amaze me.
You truly do.

>> carson: Thank you, coach.
Another big hand for

Cassadee pope!
Straight ahead, blake shelton

Joins terry mcdermott for an
aerosmith party song you won't

Want to miss.
This is "the voice," live on

Nbc.

>> carson: Welcome back to "the
voice."

We are live in los angeles for
the finals.

It may seem like an unlikely
pairing, a country star from

Oklahoma and a rock n' roller
from scotland.

But blake and terry's mutual
appreciation of great music and

A good time make for one perfect
partnership.

This week, blake invited terry's
family over to his house for a

Surprise.
Take a look.

>> hey, guys, welcome to the
house.

>> yeah.
It's a pretty big house.

>> it's an honor to spend time
with you and my family.

It's very kind.
You all actually met in l.A.

I didn't know that.
>> I ended up staying here after

Katrina hit new orleans.
Terry helped me a lot.

>> you can do something.
>> it was really cool to be able

To hang out with terry today.
He is such a family guy.

>> I had this package that came
in from overseas.

Blake, he had a little surprise
for me.

My father who I haven't seen in
four years.

>> hi!
>> great to see you.

>> it's almost impossible for
him to get away.

The fact that he's come here
means a lot.

It is very refreshing that he
gets to be here.

He set me on my road toward
music and hopefully he can see

Me with a pretty incredible
journey.

>> I used to have to go in there
like I do gigs now.

>> terry once said to me, why
can't you get a proper job like

Other dads?
>> I think it worked out all

Right.
>> I think terry deserves to win

The voice because he's been
trying so hard ever since he was

In his early teens.
So this has been a long road for

Him.
>> we've heard you say it a

Million time that you're doing
this for your family.

You're surrounded by them now.
And it's got to be a great

Feeling.
>> yep.

>> some way to have come this
far, to have my dad appear and

To be part of it is very fitting
and we'll be together for what

Will be an important chapter in
my life.

And hopefully it will be the
start of another.

>> carson: Singing one of their
favorites, here's

Terry mcdermott, his coach,
blake shelton and a familiar

Face on guitar.

Team blake.
>> adam levine, what did you

Think?
>> well, carson daly, I'll tell

You what I think.
I like to say first name and

Last names here.
Terry, I know, I could tell that

In the beginning, something was
going on with hearing something

Or there was some sort of
malfunction.

I could tell from your body
language.

The biggest challenge of being a
great singer, especially on this

Stage with all these people
watching you, you recovered.

You recovering is why you're
here.

Any time get freaked out and
something goes wrong, it doesn't

Matter.
You have to do it.

You got out of that hole and
that's a big thing.

>> coach blake shelton.
>> man, you know what?

I'm going back even a couple of
minutes ago whenever we sang

"dude looks like a lady"
together.

That was high.
I don't know how you do it and

You do it week after week.
Every time you get on stage,

Something epic happens, terry.
The people in the room know it.

The people at home know it.
You make these classic rock

Songs sound new again.
Nobody can do that.

Nobody has been able to do that
except you, terry.

Congratulations.

Finalists return to "the voice"
stage for more incredible

Performances.
It's "the voice" live finale.

Carson: We are live with
"the voice" finals.

The cast of the new nbc show
"1600 penn" is here.

What do you think of the show so
far?

Such an exciting night.
Hard to sit still.

>> right after the show we'll
get a sneak peek.

>> this is an ordinary family in
an extraordinary setting called

The white house.
We are the first family of the

United states with all of the
family drama and dynamics that

Every family has but in an
extraordinary address.

>> good to have you guys here.
Thank you very much.

Happy birthday.
Right after the show, be sure to

Check out that sneak peek.
Now, it was a stripped-down

Version of an '80s power ballad
that showed us a softer side of

Terry mcdermott.
Tonight he is reprizing the

Song.
Here's terry with "I want to

Know what love is."

.

I want to know what love is.
Let's get some thoughts.

Christina aguilera.
>> I mean, you know, yes.

Your voice is incredible and all
of that that we already know.

I think that what's to be
pointed out right now is the

Fact to be on this show, I mean,
everybody always sees e glthz

And the glam and the whole thing
that you see but it takes strong

Work ethic.
I know like your voice must be

Tired.
You must be tired.

You're still plowing through and
bringing it home every single

Time.
That's really commendable, you

Guys.
I have to say.

Like terry, today, I don't know,
how many sungs have you sung so

Far?
It's like a lot.

I always say, get into this
business because you cannot eat,

Sleep or breathe without music.
The work ethic involved will

Kick you.
And you are it right back.

>> blake shelton.
>> she's right.

And to add what christina is
saying, it is interesting that

You picked that as your breakout
song.

I agree, that was your breakout
moment on this show.

Because you did it with such
passion.

But I've got to say, I think you
sang that song better tonight

Than you did the first time
around.

And the first time you sang
it --

[ cheers and applause ]
you absolutely drive me crazy.

Because you blow me away.
I don't know how you do it,

Terry.
But I am so honored to have been

Associated with you at some
point in your career.

I really am.
>> the pleasure is all mine.

>> give it up for terry
mcdermott, everybody.

Carson: Coming up, it's nicholas
david and coach cee lo with a

Funky duet when "the voice"
continues on nbc.

The finals.

>> carson: Welcome back to
"the voice," the live finals.

Two unique artists found each
other at the blind auditions

When cee lo pushed his buttons.
This week, nicholas and his

Family spent some time hanging
out with his coach for one last

Talk.
>> we're here with my mom and

Dad, my gal and my two boys to
give cee lo a better

Understanding of who I am.
>> I have to know who raised

This guy.
>> he was in second grade.

And he said he would like to
take voice lessons.

And we found a teacher and I
said if he can't sing, be honest

With me.
He went in the room and did his

La la singing thing.
And he said he wanted him.

So that was pretty cool.
>> I think people can tell from

Nick's journey on "the voice"
that we're a very tight family.

You can see that nick is doing
the same thing with his family.

>> how has the journey been for
you?

>> it's been a sacrifice that
I'm glad we're making.

There was a point in time where
nicholas was like, I want to be

A dad, I want to be a family
man.

I can't step back.
It was hard.

>> our family has sacrificed a
lot to get nick where he is now.

To be here where he has these
opportunities that may allow our

Families to change and spend
more time together is a

Beautiful place to be.
>> thank you for taking the time

To see these two worlds coming
together.

Like three families in one.
>> no doubt.

>> he wanted me to give that to
you.

>> you licked all the salt off.
>> it was really cool to sit

Down with cee lo and my family.
>> give it here.

>> after today I have even more
inspiration.

Even more strength to like get
ready for this final round.

I am truly elated.

Help me in my personal live as
well but it has.

>> have you heard from your dad?
>> yes.

He called me and we talked about
what we need to do to make this

Work.
>> good.

That's real good.
>> my dad back in my life.

Every time I've really poured my
heart out there, I've tapped

Into myself as a person.
For my finale performance, I'll

Be doing "cry" by faith hill.
>> you're singing as good as

I've ever heard you sing.
>> I wouldn't be here if it

Weren't for blake.

Adam levine.
Some thoughts on cassadee's

Final performance.
>> man, you know, cassadee, I

Wanted you on my team.
Obviously, I bugged you

Sometimes.
I was really critical.

>> the great thing is I don't
care that you were not on my

Team.
You accomplished everything that

I was really hoping you would
accomplish on blake's team so my

Ego has nothing to do with this.
I'm so proud of you and happy

That you're here at this moment.
>> carson: Coach blake shelton.

What more can you say about your
girl?

>> I don't know what more I can
say.

You know, for every great moment
that you've had on this show and

You've had a lot of them.
I mean, I've never heard you
