22x11 - The Battles, Part 4

Post by bunniefuu »

* Hey! Ah! *

**

Hey.
What's up, guys?

Gwen Stefani,
Blake Shelton.

We're actually --
I'm so excited.

I get to go to work
with Blake.

We're carpooling
together.

Shelton, are you excited
for the battles?

Having a little jerky.
This is how I get pumped up.

I have a little protein
headed into the battles.

I love Team Legend.

We've done so well so far.
I'm so proud of my team.

I can't wait for you
to see what's next.
* Shake it up! *

Time to be surprised
and confused

and heartbroken
and stressed, and...

[ Breathes sharply ]

All of the feelings today.

Wish me luck.
* Ah! *

Announcer: Kique, you are
battling Tanner Howe.

Tanner: No, Kique.

Kique: Oh, my God.
I'm so excited.

Tanner, no shot.
We're gonna k*ll this.

* This world is forcing me
to hold your hand *

* 'Cause I'm just a girl,
oh, little old me *

Gwen: You're the best.
Sean: [ Laughs ]

I wish you could have seen me
in like '99 or 2000,

singing...
* "I'm just a girl *

This is meant to be, you guys.
Oh, my gosh.

Oh, my gosh.
Gwen: Hi, guys.

This is insane.
No shot.

What's up?
Sean Paul is here.

What's up?
Sean Paul, whoa!

Seeing Sean Paul,
I had to take a double take.

So, like, I turned around, like,
kind of got all the nerves out,

and then
turned back around.
Oh, my gosh.

Nice to meet you. Wow.
This is
the real Sean Paul, guys.

He creates hits,
and they hit.

This is so fun!
Kique and Tanner --
which is...?

Tanner. Kique.
Kique.

Kique. Yeah.
It's nice to meet you.
Alright.

I'm 18, so, like, I've only been
exposed to, like, other artists

that are around my age,
for the most part.

So getting to be
with people

who are so huge in the music
industry is incredible.

Welcome to "The Voice," guys.
Thanks for choosing me.

What?! [ Laughs ]
Thanks for
turning around. Yeah.

The blind audition was the most
nerve-racking day of my life.

* Please have mercy on me *

* Take it easy on my heart *
So, I just started, like,
playing to the audience.

* Even though
you don't mean to hurt me *
And as soon as
I started doing that,

I looked across to
the other side of the audience,

and I could see Blake
turn first.
* You keep tearing me apart *

I'm like...

All those nerves that I had
just got flushed out of me,

which was amazing.

"The Voice" plays well
to my strength of performing.

At the beginning of 2020,
the pandemic hit,

and all my gigs
were canceled.

So I came up with the idea

to do what I call
a "drive-up concert."

The reaction
was incredible.

I think all the time
I've spent performing live

has really prepared me
to perform on "The Voice,"

and really
put it all out there.

I pressed my button

'cause I heard something
that touched my heart.

I think you did a great job
picking us.

Getting to work with Gwen has --
it's -- Oh, my God.

It's insane.

'Cause I'm freshly
out of high school.

I was singing at my graduation,
shaking my principal's hand,

and now diving straight into
the deep end.

The day of blinds,
I was excited.

* My baby is
driving me crazy *

* You're way too beautiful,
girl *

When I got on that stage,
it was like there was

nothing else that mattered
except for that one very moment.

Two of the coaches
heard my voice

and were like,
"I want him."

Your kind of voice --
it's so theatrical and creative.

It's still insane.

I still cannot
wrap my head around it.

I picked a song that I love,
so you better not mess it up.

Oh, no.
Oh, I was...

No pressure.

Gwen:
I'm just joking.

[ "Don't You (Forget About Me)"
plays ]
Whoo! Hey!

* Hey, yeah *

* Ooooo *
I picked "Don't You (Forget
About Me)" by Simple Minds.

* Won't you
come see about me? *
And there's a reason why
that song is still a hit today.

* I'll be alone *
It's because
it's a perfect song.

* Dancing,
you know it, baby *

* Tell me your troubles
and doubts *

And you don't really hear
a lot of male singers

sing like that Simple Minds
style anymore.
* Giving me everything
inside and out *

A song that has
so much melody.
* Don't you *

And I think, if they can do that
song like the original song,

people are gonna
be blown away.

**

Okay. This is my problem.
You're gonna beat --

You're gonna beat them up now?
You guys are both
super good singers.

I'm going to slap them
a little bit, because,

for me, this song
is so emotional.

And the melody that was written
is already super good --

way better than I can
rewrite it, or anyone could.

It's melted in people's brains
as it was written.

Less is gonna be more.

Mm-hmm.
Mm. Okay.

Sean Paul:
The song is so iconic.

To kind of deviate
from that groove too much

is a bit off-putting
for me.

Is it that
neither one of you

can hit the...
* Hey, hey, hey, hey *

I can't do that.
That last note.

I can't -- I don't --
That last note's
a little high.

I don't know
if I can do it.
I think you can do it.

* Hey, hey, hey
[voice breaks] hey *

Yeah.
* Hey *
You just have to go --

* Hey, hey *
You have to go into
your head voice a little bit.

We're definitely getting there.
We're working on it.

I've been working on it.

Let's just try it one time
with all those notes.

[ "Don't You (Forget About Me)"
plays ]

* Hey, hey, hey, hey *

What I love
about Tanner's voice...
* Ooooo *

...is he has a really cool,
alternative, beautiful voice.

* Won't you
come see about me? *
I think he's artistic.

At the same time,
he has a lot of power.

* I'll be alone *

* Dancing,
you know it, baby *

Yeah!

* Tell me
your troubles and doubts *

* Giving me everything *
Kique's voice
is very unique.

* Inside and out *

To be able to
swoop notes around

and swerve them around
and do what he does --

that's a very
talented person.

* ...naaaaaame? *

[ Music ends ]

I don't know. I think that
there's so much potential here,

I just feel like my biggest
advice would be to go back

and try to just mimic
as best you can

the dynamics
of the song.

It's so perfect
the way it is.

Practice does make perfect,

and whoever practices the song
a lot more...

Thank you so much.
I'm so excited.
Appreciate it.

Sean: ...will probably be
the winner.

[ "Don't You (Forget About Me)"
plays ]

* Hey, hey,
hey, hey *

Tanner is incredible.
* Ooooo *

Like, he's able to hit
that last "Hey."

And it's kind of
nerve-racking.
* Won't you
come see about me? *

Tanner has, like, that stage
presence that's incredible.

* I'll be alone *
He's interactive.

* Dancing,
you know it, baby *
I feel like it's something
I need to work on.

* Tell me
your troubles and doubts *

Kique is
amazingly talented.

* Giving me everything *
Can't believe the talent that
this guy has.

* Inside and out *

Take 4,563.
* Don't you *

* Forget about me *

Oh, gosh, now I better do me
the best I can.
* Don't *
* Don't *

* Don't *
* Don't *
I'm definitely gonna fight
for my spot,

and battle.
* Don't you *

Thank you.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Kique!

Tanner!

This battle
starts right now.

**

Whoo!

* Hey, hey, hey, hey *

**

* Ooooo *

* Won't you
come see about me? *
Hey!

* I'll be alone *

* Dancing *

* You know me, baby *

* Tell me your troubles
and doubts *

* Giving me everything
inside and out *
Yes!

* Don't you
forget about me *

* Don't *
* Don't *

* Don't *
* Don't *

* Don't you
forget about me-e *

**

* Will you stand
above me? *

* Look my way *

* Never love me *

* Rain keeps falling *

* Rain keeps falling *

* Down, down, down, down *

**

* Hey, hey, hey, hey *

* Oooooo *

* Yeah *

* Don't you
forget about me *

* Don't *
* Don't *

* Don't *
* Don't *

* Don't you
forget about me *
[ Laughs ]

* As you walk on by *

* As you walk on by *

* Will you
call my name? *

* Will you
call my name? *

* As you walk on by *

* As you walk on by *

* Will you
call my name? *

* Will you
call my naaaaame? *

* I say la *

* La la la la *

* La la la la *
Hey!

* La la la, la la la,
la la la la *

* La la la la *

* La la la la *

* La la la, la la la,
la la la la *

* When you walk on by *

* Will you
call my naaaaaame? *

Whoo!

* When you walk on by *

* Will you call
my naaaaaame? *

Yeah!

**

[ Cheers and applause ]

**

Yeah!

Whoo!
Well, that was fun.

It was fun!

That was so entertaining, and it
was such a great song choice.

It just worked so well.
It was, like, so compelling.

I especially liked the -- the
"Don't, don't, don't, don't."

Yeah, that was cool.

Like, it just worked.
It really worked.

Kique, your voice was fun
'cause you had

some interesting, like,
tones and pronunciations

that made your take on the song
different.

But it sounded really cool
to me, as well.

Thank you.

And then, Tanner,
you just sounded like

you were supposed to make
this song.

You felt so confident.

And then, your tone was, like,
so spot-on.

It felt like I got transported
to the moment

when the song came out.

Based on
that performance,

I would definitely pick
Tanner.

It worked for me
perfectly.

Wow.
Thank you so much.

That's a song what -- that,
at least me and Gwen

and maybe John
and absolutely not Camila

have ever heard before.

I was born to that song.

You weren't even conceived
to that song.

The thing that really
gets me fired up is,

when I hear someone
come on the stage

that doesn't sound like
anyone else.

To me, Kique has this voice
that is completely different.

I would pick Kique.

Kique: Thank you.

Camila: I really loved
how you guys performed that.

For me, Kique,
you're pitch-perfect.

Your runs
were tight and clean.

In my 22 seasons
of "The Voice,"

I have never disagreed
with John, and today I do.

It's Kique Rique.

Thank you
so, so very much. Ah!

Daly:
Thank you, Coaches.

All right, Gwen,
you have the final decision.

Before we find out
the winner,

give us some thoughts
on the battle.

It was so good,
you guys.

I'm so proud of you.
I'm so proud.

Thank you, Gwen.
Thank you so much.

You were, like,
looking deep into my eyes.

He was like...
* Don't you *

I was like, "Ah!"
[ Laughter ]

But you hit a note today

that was so beautiful
and so strong,

and it was just glorious
for me.

So, thank you for doing that.
I appreciate you.

Thank you, Gwen, so much.
I appreciate it.

Kique,
your voice is so rare.

It's so original.
It's so stylized.

And when we were
rehearsing,

I felt like
you were overdoing it.

I was nervous.
But you pulled it off.

Don't mess
with that song.
Yeah.

I told you that, right?
Don't.
Don't.

Don't.
Together: Don't.

-Don't.
-Don't.

Don't.
Don't.

All: Don't!

Don't!

All: Don't!

[ Chuckles ]
[ Cheers and applause ]

[ Chuckles ]

Yes!

And I'm just gonna say,
I have to pick somebody,

and it's -- it's really hard

because you both really rose
to the occasion.

I mean, honestly,
so thank you so much.

Thank you, Gwen.
I appreciate it.

Thank you.
Gwen, the time has come.

Who's the winner
of this battle?

[ Dramatic music plays ]

**

I'm gonna say the winner
of this battle right here...

is Kique.
[ Cheers and applause ]

Kique, congratulations!

You're moving on
to the knockouts,

representing Team Gwen.

I picked Kique because
he is a diamond in the rough.
Ah!

The kid is 18 years old.
[ Speaking indistinctly ]

He's that good.

Whoo!
* Kique *

I'm excited
to get to know him better

and see where
this is gonna go.

I'm going to
the three-way knockouts.

That's actually -- oh! --
insane.

Oh, my God. Okay.
Ah! Sorry.

Tanner, anything you want to say
to your coach?

Tanner: I just want to say
thank you.

I'm gonna take everything
that I've learned here

and apply it
in real life.

Being on this stage
was amazing.

I had so much fun,
so thank you.
You did a great job.

Daly:
Give it up for Tanner Howe,
ladies and gentlemen!

[ Cheers and applause ]
Great job.

Oh, it was so hard!
They were so good.

I just enjoyed the whole thing,
honestly.

They both sound so good.
Whew!

Let's rock and roll!
Oh, my God!

Daly: Coming up...
What's up, man?

* Hey, hey, hey, hey *
Jazmine Sullivan is here.
The queen of runs!

What's up?
Oh, come on!
Daly: ...when our coaches
and their advisers

take it to
the next level.

You need to let
that personality come out.

Bring us to the stadium.

My mind is blown.
Wow.

I feel like
I was at a concert.

* Whoa, ohhh *

* I can't just preach,
baby, preach *

Daly: The artists deliver
phenomenal performances...

* Ooh, girl *

Daly: ...and blow the roof off
the "Voice" stage.
Whoo!

* Shock me like
an electric eel *

Sing, y'all!
You have one of the best voices
I've ever heard.

[ Whoosh ]
Daly:
That's the sound of a steal!

Whoo! Whoo, whoo, whoo!

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back
to the battles.

* 1, 2, 3, 4 *

**

John: I don't know
who I'm gonna steal today.

You -- You guys have some, uh,
treats for me to steal today?

There's someone on your team
that I-I really want.

Mm-hmm.
You ain't gonna have him.

He is not gonna
be available.

Oh.
Oh, my God! Oh!

Uh-oh.
Oh!

[ Laughs ]
I'm alright.

* She fell on the floor,
but she got back up *

Gwen: Are you okay?
That was crazy.

It's the shoes.
Blame the shoes.
Camila: I really --

Finally, something funny
happened on the show.

[ Laughs ]

I fell in layers.

Like, it was just like,
"Nope, this isn't gonna happen."
So -- Ohh!

And I thought the fall was over,
and then it went on down.

[ Slow-motion ]
Oh, my God! Oh!

[ Slow-motion ] Uh-oh.

I'm just glad
you're not injured.

Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I'm still here, guys.

You're not getting rid
of me yet.

I know you put
some grease on my shoe

to make that happen,
Blake.
Yeah, sabotage.

He's back there with,
like, some grease, like...

[ Laughs ]
All right, let's go.

[ Laughing ] God.

Ah!
Blakey.

* It's battle rehearsal day! *

Oh, my gosh.
I'm so excited.

Hey, y'all.
It's Kevin.

So, I'm going against Hillary
for the battle round.

Kevin is such
a powerhouse singer.

I'm so excited
to duet with him.

I really want both of us
to stay here,

so, hopefully one of us
gets saved or stolen.

I'm here to win this battle,
so...let's bring it.

**

Hey! [ Chuckles ]
Oh.

How are you?
I'm good.

You ready?
I'm ready.
I'm ready, dude.

It's gonna be so good.
We're gonna k*ll it.

So, I had to wire transfer
some money.

Do you need
my account information?

Yes, please.
Okay.

Are you gonna
wire me some, too?

Oh, no, I was hoping you could
wire it to me.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
Not -- Not that way.

So, this is Hillary
and Kevin.

I'm the only person that
turned around for Hillary.

* Go easy *

* On me, baby *

Blake was so welcoming
during the blind auditions.

Blake: When
you started singing,

I did detect some twang.

it was enough that I thought,

"You know what?
I'm not sure exactly where

this girl's coming from,
but I want to be a part of it."

I've thought about this moment
for so long,

and now,
to actually be living it,

I kind of just am wanting
[Chuckling] to pinch myself.

I thought she sounded
incredible.
Yeah.

And I definitely wanted her
on my team.

Kevin, though,
it was very controversial.

* Isn't she lovely *

* Isn't she wonderful *
Yes!

Piano teacher
who sings Stevie Wonder,

and I don't have a chance
to fight for him.

I'm so sorry.

I'm here to tell you

that I'm the next closest thing
to John Legend.

[ Laughter ]

Not just with the coaches --
in life, in the world,

I am the next best thing
to John Legend.

Exactly.
You're just a little taller.

It worked.
He's on my team, so...

Hey. There you go.

Oh, my gosh.
It's Jimmie Allen.

Dude.
What's up, man?

How are you?
Holy moly!

Fit fire, bro.
Man.

Appreciate you.

Man, how you doing?
Good to see you.

Give me a hug.
I'm a hugger.

Nice to meet you.
Oh, my God.

Wow. Jimmie Allen
is in the building.

He's breaking barriers,
you know,

for African-Americans
in the country music world.

And for him to be nominated
for a Grammy, just...

**

Jimmie Allen.

Are you mad at Gwen, still,
for blocking you from...?

I'm not mad at Gwen.

Look, I got "Team Blake"
on my nails.

Hey.
I already got it.

Wait a minute.
[ Laughter ]

See? Got "Team Blake."
Let's go.
Wait.

Hillary: I love it.

Oh, my God.
I love it.

Yeah.

So, we got the nails.

Team Blake
all the way.

[ Humming ]

Now, in my life, I teach

seventh- and eighth-grade
advanced piano.

A lot of the girls,
they're like,

"Oh, my God, Mr. Hawkins,

we love your nails,
and we love your hair.

You're just so cool."

And it's not something
that they see every day

as, like, what they consider
the typical teacher.
Whoo!

Even though I'm their teacher,
I'm like their big brother

that some of them
probably never had.

I enjoy it.

I want to move to knockouts
so bad

because I want to show y'all
Kevin Hawkins

in his fullest element --

the nails, the hair,
the clothes,

the dancing, the singing.

So, just, please, Blake,
just keep saying, "Kevin."

[ Laughs ]

* Every day I wake
and everything is broken *

* Turnin' off my phone *
Blake: I gave these two "Preach"
by John Legend

because John's such
a melodic writer.
* Just to get out of bed *

* Get home
every evening *

* History's repeating *
And he's got so much drama
and dynamics in his music...

* Turning off my phone *
...that it's gonna
give these two a chance...

* 'Cause it's hurting
my chest *
...to show us all the tools
they have in the shed.

* I can't sit and hope, I *

* Can't just sit
and pray that *
Kevin has
such a powerful voice.

* I can find a love, when *
There are so many layers
to what he's able to do.

And there's something about him
that's unique to him.

* I can find a love, when *

* All I see is pain *
Hillary, I knew she had
a powerful voice,

but I just learned
a lot more about it today.

I could hear
more of her inflections.

And she's got a very soulful
vibrato, and I love that.

Man.

What
do you...?

Huh?

[ Laughter ]

I felt like
I was at a concert.
Wow.

I literally got lost
in the music for a second.
Yeah. It was good.

Even though it's impressive that
you can both hit these notes,

it takes me out of the moment
a little bit.

Don't get me wrong --
it's unbelievable

that you guys
can go there.
Yeah.

But I'm not sold that it's
the right thing to do, either.
Okay.

They should definitely
take into consideration

they're singing John's song
in front of John.

They're both
great singers.

I think they'll be good if they
can figure that one section out.

But I'd be nervous.

John's already weird about
when somebody

does his song, anyway.

You know,
we know that from the blinds.

And so I don't want any reason
that he may hear that and go,

"Well, you know,
when y'all did that..."

And then, all of a sudden,
Gwen goes,

"Well, why did they do that?"

Kevin: I've been singing
this John Legend song so much.

I'm like, "Kevin" --

You know how people say,
"What would Jesus do?"

Like, "What would John do?"

Just do that,
and you're good.

Everybody knew
this song?

I did not know
this song,

but instantly connected
with the lyrics.
Yeah.

It's very powerful.
Yeah.

And we were discussing, we both
have been through some stuff,

and this song
speaks to that.

Lyrically,
I love this song.

And it definitely tracks
with a lot of things

that have happened
in my own life.

In early 2019, I remember
looking in the mirror

and making some nasty comments
to myself

about the way
that I looked.

I got to a certain point
where I couldn't recognize

the good parts
about myself.

And I think that's a lot
of what got me here,

giving myself the confidence
to get up on that stage

and sing in front of
a bunch of people.

**

Ohh!
I'm so proud of you.
[ Laughs ] Thank you.

I'm getting married
really soon,

and I'm also on
"The Voice" right now.

Two of my life dreams
are happening simultaneously.

And my fiancé,

to have his support here
in this huge moment

means so much to me.

**

[ Whispering ] God.

[ Crying ] Every time.

[ Sniffles ]

I just feel so lucky
to have

an incredible support system.

* Whoa, ohhh *

* Whoa, ohhh *

My mind is blown --

just listening to you perform it
the way you have

without that section being
something where you try to go,

"Watch me break this glass,"
you know?

Or just learn to be
less good singers.

If you were
less good singers...
Yeah.

...we wouldn't have
that problem.

I think this battle's
gonna come down to

who can give
the most dynamic performance

without going too far
with it.

You still
got to be tasteful.

That's what
I'm gonna be looking for.

Daly: Who would you pick
as the winner of this battle?

Get the "Voice" official app now
and play along.

**

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back
to the battles.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Yes!
What a cool suit.

Yes!

[ Cheers and applause continue ]

This battle starts
right now.

**

Kevin: * Every day I wake
and everything is broken *

* Turnin' off my phone
just to get out of bed *

* Get home every evening *

* History's repeating *

* Turning off my phone *

* 'Cause it's hurting
my chest, ayy *

* And heaven knows
I'm not helpless *

* Yeah *

* But what can I do? *

* I can't see the use
in me crying *

* If I'm not even tryin' to make
the change I wanna seeeeeee *

* I can't sit and hope, I *

* Can't just sit
and pray that *

* I can find a love, when *

* All I see is pain *

* Falling to my knees *

* And though I do believe *

* I can't just preach,
baby, preach *

* Whoa, ohhh *

* Whoa, ohhh *

* I can't just preach,
baby, preach *

**

* And heaven knows *

* I'm not helpless,
yeah *

* I can't sit and hope *

Yes!
* I can't just
sit and pray *

* That I can
find a love *

* When all I see
is pain *

* Falling to my knees *

* And though
I do believe *

* I can't just preach,
baby, preach *

Yeah!

* Whoa, ohhh *

* Whoa, ohhh *

* I can't just preach,
baby, preach *

* Fallin' to my knees *

* And though I do believe *

* I can't just preach *

* Baby, preach *

[ Cheers and applause ]
Yeah!

Yes!

**

I love you.

Blake: Whoa!

Standing ovation
from John!

Wow!

[ Cheers and applause ]

I loved it!

Thank you for singing
my song.

I felt your passion.
I felt your love.

It was really
beautifully ex*cuted.

Hillary,
you're a wonderful singer,

and it felt like you really dug
into the spirit of the song.

Kevin, hearing you sing
reminded me

of how upset I was with Gwen
when she blocked me.

[ Laughter ]
Yeah.

Your voice makes John
mad at Gwen.

[ Laughter ]

Honestly, you're just
a really great singer.

Thank you.
And I love how you can be
really soft and heartfelt,

and then you can get big
and soulful.

If I were to pick,
I would pick Kevin,

but I thought both of you
did a fantastic job.

Thanks, John.
Thank you.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Gwen: Wow.
That was amazing.

You look gorgeous,
both of you guys.

I -- I'm dying
over your outfit.

Thanks. [ Laughs ]
It's ridiculous.

And I need your boots,
but I kinda already have them,

but they're different.
John: Same.

Twinning!
[ Laughter ]

Hillary, you have
such a beautiful tone.

It wasn't until you went to
your kind of solo moment

that I was like, "Whoa."

Kind of took
my breath away.

It was very,
very beautiful.

Thank you.

And, Kevin, your personality
and your stage presence,

even when she was singing,
I was wanting to watch

what you were doing
with your body language.

So, that's incredible.
[ Chuckles ]

If I had to choose somebody
right now,

I would probably
go with Kevin.

Thank you.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Camila: Hey, guys!

Hey.
Hi.

First of all, Blake,
thank you so much

for picking my song
for them to sing.

Oh, you're welcome.
You're welcome.

It's funny 'cause
it's a John Legend song.

Ahh.
Tough crowd.

Um, anyway...
[ Laughter ]

We don't laugh
here at "The Voice."
Yeah, I know.

This is very serious.
This audience doesn't laugh.

They just cheer!
[ Audience cheering ]

There we go!

[ Chuckles ]

That was really fun
to watch.

You both have
incredible voices.

And it's interesting because,
in the blinds,

all we have
is the voice.

But then, in the battles,
it's like you have

that visual element,
which is such a big part of it.

Hillary, I could tell
you were wanting to go for it

and trying to push yourself kind
of out of that comfort zone,

'cause, obviously,
it's a performance.

There's a crowd.

Kevin, you maybe, like,
just have more confidence --

you have a little bit more,
like, developed

that sense of
performance presence.

And I want to wear
your outfit, also.
Thank you.
Appreciate it.

Daly: Thank you, Coaches.
Thank you.

All right, buddy,
the decision's all yours.

Give us some thoughts,
first, on the battle.

Well, my first thought is these
guys did an incredible job...
Camila: That's so true.

...of sticking to the plan
and representing the song

and giving it
what it needed, yeah.
I agree.

Hillary, you knew you had a tall
task to go up against Kevin.

I mean,
he's unbelievable.

But so are you.

And, you know,
I'm completely shocked

at the way
you stepped up to the plate.
Thank you.

You took all my notes,
and you walked up here,

and you gave it,
I feel like,

100% of what
you had to give it.

Thank you.
[ Cheers and applause ]

And, Kevin,
you also gave 100%

of what you had to give
for this performance.

Even though
that was 100%,

I still don't think we've seen
your full potential.

And, man, that's --
that's saying a lot,

because that was
an incredible performance.

Blake, obviously,
a very tough choice,

but the time has come.

Who is the winner
of this battle?

[ Dramatic music plays ]

**

Blake: Uh.

**

The winner of this battle
is Kevin.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Kevin Hawkins --

moving on to the knockouts
for Team Blake.

Blake: I knew that
Hillary was gonna have

her work cut out for her
going up against Kevin.

I just think that,
at the end of the day,

we still haven't seen everything
this guy's even capable of.

And for that,
he won the battle for me.

Congratulations.
Thank you.

Incredible job.

I'm so happy to be moving
forward to the knockouts.

Whew.

Y'all, I'm going to
the three-way knockouts.

Aha! [ Laughs ]

Coaches,
I'm gonna remind you

that Hillary is available
to steal or save.

Hillary, what would you like
to say to your coach?

All four of you have had
a little moment of my life,

so it's been such an honor

to be in front of you
and sing for you.

Thank you so much.

Give it up one more time
for Hillary Torchiana,

ladies and gentlemen!
[ Cheers and applause ]

Yes, Hillary!

I still have
a steal left,

and I'm looking for somebody
who made me jealous

that they weren't
on my team.

So make me jealous,
and I will steal you.

Blake:
I haven't used my save yet

because I'm just waiting for
that perfect moment.

I'm shocked, every season,
in the battle rounds.

You never know
what's gonna happen.

Look how pretty you are.
Oh.

I am?
Thank you.

Aww.

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly:
Welcome back to the battles

at Universal Studios Hollywood.

**

[ Cheers and applause ]

Guys, my peeps
are up next.

Blake: Oh, boy.

You excited?
Yes.

Sasha: It's super exciting
to work with Camila today

for the first time.

Our adviser --
who do you think it's gonna be?

Um, I thought Ed Sheeran,
but he was on last season.

The next pair...
Mm-hmm.

...I think you're gonna
really like them.

Kind of left-of-center,
like, indie duo.
Okay.

* Don't you say,
don't you say it *

* Don't say,
don't you say it *
Let's go!

You have to be really strong,
mentally, to do something

as intimidating
as a blind audition.

* Shut your mouth, baby,
stand and deliver *

So, to see them turn around
was really, really validating.

My dad
is originally from Mexico.

Me, too.
[ Laughs ]

It's really exciting to meet

somebody who I feel like
is really similar to me.

Camila.

[ Cheers and applause ]
Yeah!

Us both coming from
a Mexican heritage,

I feel like
that bonds us.

We got it.
We got this.

Okay.
Ready for it?

Oh. [ Laughs ]
There it is.

* Heat waves
been faking me out *

[ Cheers and applause ]
* Sometimes *

Having those turns showed
that there was a connection,

that they heard something in me
that they can work with.

I'm looking for somebody
that is alternative indie

with a pop sensibility.

I feel like we could be
a great team.

I choose Camila.

Wow!

I'm coming in from the
alternative and indie realm,

and I've heard the versatility
in Camila,

and then, that's exactly what
she spoke on.

So it instantly clicked.

What up?!
Hey.

[ Laughs ]
How's it going?

What the heck?
Hey, y'all.
Hello.

Sasha: I'm definitely a fan
of Charlie Puth.

I love his music.

I had his whole album
[laughs]

and I used to play it
all the time.

Hi. Nice to meet you.
It's been a long one.
Nice to meet you.

Sasha:
He's an amazing songwriter.
He's pitch-perfect.

It was crazy to see him, like,
there in the flesh.

Like, that's --
that's so weird.

Camila:
You're my indie duo,

singing
"Electric Feel" by MGMT.

Do you like this song?

I love this song, yeah.
That's cool.

My family found it, like,
just as it was coming out.

Okay, that's cool.
Was it 2007 or something?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Devix: Growing up
in Queens, New York,

me and my family
had listened to

God knows how many
different genres of music.

And my artistry now
is even a collective

of all those
different things.

I play drums, piano.

**

I play guitar.
I play bass guitar.

I've fiddled on the accordion,
the ocarina,

and the recorder, as well.

And hopefully,
more to come soon.

[ Chuckles ]

Let's rock and roll!

* I said, "Ooh, girl" *

**

* "Shock me like
an electric eel" *

Charlie: Both their voices
worked really well together,

but they were very distinct
on their own, as well.
* Baby girl *

* She got the power
in her hands *

Sasha had a very dreamlike,
melancholic-type voice.
* To shock you
like you won't believe *

It was very buttery,
velvety, rich tone.

It's a voice that kind of blends
with everything.

* She's gonna teach me
how to swim *

Devix's voice felt like
this mid-range...
* I said, "Ooh, girl" *

...slightly airy
vocalization.

And then, it opened up...
* Oh *

* Feel now *

...and he sounded like
a completely different person.
* Feel now *

I really think that will catch
a lot of people's attention.

* ...eel *

Oh, come on!
Stop it! What?!

Holy crapola, guys.

Ah!

I'm trying not to curse
right now.

You -- You two together,

I feel like
you're already a band.
That's...

So, that's really wonderful.
Sweet.
I'm glad to hear it.

The only thing that maybe was
missing during the performance

was I wanted you to, like,
sing it directly to me.

There's gonna be
a whole audience here.

You're singing out
to them.

You're gonna make people
electric feel.

Both Devix and Sasha
could grow as performers.

I think they're great singers,
and they're great artists,

but I think they need to come
out of their shell a little bit

in terms of, like,
having fun onstage.

Sasha: I actually didn't know
the song when we first got it.

So, for me,
it's stage nerves.
Yeah.

Just, like, it sounds great
when we rehearse one-on-one.

And I get on a stage...
Oh, yeah, I feel you.

...and then, like,
things just don't come through

like they were
when I was rehearsing alone.

You know what really helps
with that, though?

Practicing having fun
while you rehearse,

so that the rehearsal
and the show

are not two
totally separate events.

Doing things that make you happy
that whole day,

like FaceTiming
your best friend

and having a good laugh.

[ FaceTime ringing ]

Sasha: Hola, familia.

All: iHola, Sasha!
[ Laughs ]

It's funny that Camila
recommended to FaceTime

someone that I can
have fun with...
Gracias.

...because I normally FaceTime
my family

before and after
performances.

[ Speaking Spanish ]

Sasha: They're actually
in Mexico right now.

They're like, "What's happening?
What are you doing?"

Every time I'm on the phone
with them,

I just feel happier
and content.

My family would be stoked
[laughs] if I won this battle.

Camila: Sasha,
"You can feel it in your mind.

You can do it
all the time."

You can try it on
some of those high notes.

The more you kind of, like,
do, like, a kind of lazy,

like...
* Aaah *

...instead of, like, a...
* Ehhh *

...it's kind of like
a cheat

for making those notes come out
a little bit easier.

* You can feel it
in your mind *

* Oh, you can do it
all the time *

Devix, I think
it would be cool

for you to play with
your vibrato.

If you're doing
a long note, like...

* Oh-oh-oh-oh *

Like, you will sing it
like that.

Be like...
* Oh-oh-oh-oh *

It's just
kind of masterful

if you can put just a splash
of something.

Literally once
is enough.

Come on!

* This is what
the world is for *

Love that.
* Making electricity *

Camila: Their arrangement
is so good.

It was really cool
how they made it sound like

it was written
as a duet.

* Shock me like
an electric eel *

It just sounded so emotional
and sexy and cool.

* Baby girl *

Yeah!
Oh, my God!

* Turn me on
with your electric feel *

Daayyyyyyym!

It's ultimately going to be
about who has more star power,

who just has
that extra oomph.

It's gonna get
even better now,

because now you get to have the
whole audience feel exactly --

it's like 100 of mes
being like, "Oh, my God."

Charlie's gonna
throw his bra at you.

Yeah, please, exactly,
'cause I am wearing one.

I will sign it.
I will sign it.
Oh, my goodness.

Wow!

Good luck, Camila.

**

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back to
"The Voice."

[ Chanting ]
Devix! Devix! Devix!

Devix!

[ Cheers and applause ]

I love this guy.

Sasha!

[ Cheers and applause ]
Whoo!

This battle starts
right now.

**

* All along
the Western front *

* People line up
to receive *

[ Chuckles ] Hey.

* She got the power
in her hands *

* To shock you
like you won't believe *

Yeah.

* Saw her in the Amazon *

* With the voltage
running through her skin *

* Standing there
with nothing on *

* She's gonna teach me
how to swim *

* I said, "Ooh, girl" *

**

* "Shock me like
an electric eel" *

* Baby girl *

**

* Turn me on
with your electric feel *

Hey!

* All along

Yeah!
Hey!

Sing, y'all!

* Shock me like *

* An electric eel *

[ Cheers and applause ]

Yeah!

So good!

**

What the hell?!
That was so beautiful.

It was such
a different arrangement.

Yeah.
It was so cool.

Sasha, you have such a beautiful
range in your voice.

I loved how
you were able to be

so calm and patient
with showing off your vocal.

You know what I'm saying?
You were very tasteful

when you were doing
your dynamics.

It was really,
really pretty.
Thank you.

Um, Devix...

what the hell?

I don't even know that

somebody could sing
that beautifully.

Your style is so unique.

You hardly ever hear
a male

that sings that gorgeous
with so much range.

It's hard because you're both
super, super talented.

[ Chuckling ]
That's my team. What can I say?

Yep. That's your team.
Mm.

It's very, very,
very good.

Thank you.

That was phenomenal.

That was my favorite performance
of the day that we've seen.

Yeah!
[ Laughs ]

I just blew out
mu vocal cords!

[ Laughter ]
That hurt.

I'm sure it's only due to
the exceptional coaching

of Camila Cabello.
Blake: Oh.

I honestly didn't --
I didn't really have to do much.

Sucking up.
Suck up.

Camila can't go wrong
either way,

but I just feel like Devix is
so interesting and so special.

I would pick Devix.
[ Cheers and applause ]

Blake: Devix, to John's point,
feels like a musician up there.

But I feel like Sasha --
she just needs a minute here...
John: Mm-hmm.

...to start mowing people down,
because she has this voice

and she has this way
of performing

in her attack, vocally,

that you just get the feeling
like she is about to erupt.

Just that one little extra bit
of confidence,

that one moment
with the right song,

to -- for everybody to go,
"Whoa!"

To your point,
Sasha was at a disadvantage

because she didn't know
this song.
Mm-hmm.

Given that --
the fact that this was a song

that you had to learn,

you came at it
with a surprising confidence.

So I think that
you're right...

for the first time ever...

[ Laughter ]

[ Audience groans ]
Wow.

...in that...
Ohhh.

Ohhh.

...in that, I think that,
with the right song,

I think that you could
shine more,

because I think that you have
a ridiculous amount of talent

and a ridiculous amount
of potential.

[ Cheers and applause ]

And, Devix,
you have a strong vision of,

like, who you want to be
as an artist.

And I think
that confidence

is what excites me
about working together.

Like, it sounds like
this could have been your song.

Camila, we know you love them
both, but the time has come.

Who is the winner
of this battle?

This is -- This is tough.

[ Dramatic music plays ]

Um...

**

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back
to the battles.

Camila, we know you love them
both, but the time has come.

Who is the winner
of this battle?

This is -- This is tough.

I think that,
artistically,

as far as, like,
who's developed, right now,

the most...

um...

I would have to say
the winner of this battle...

[ Dramatic music plays ]

...is Devix.

Devix, congratulations!

You're moving on to
the knockouts...

Whew!
...on Team Camila!

**

Thank you so much.

Sasha.

Congrats.

Devix holds a unique lane
on my team

in that alternative
indie world.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

Great job, man.
You k*lled it.
Thank you. Thank you.

And he's somebody that I am
really creatively inspired by.

He's like
the full package.

Coaches, let me remind you that
Sasha is available to steal.

Sasha, anything you want
to say to your coach?

Uh, I just want to
thank you so much.

I feel like I've already learned
so much just from being here.

I mean,
I've been able to, like,

experience this already,
and, yeah, I'm so --

[ Whoosh ]

Daly: That's the sound of
a steal from Gwen Stefani!
Yeah!

Yes. Yes! [ Laughs ]
Oh, I'm so happy!

Gwen wants Sasha
on her team!
Wow!

I want to give you
some more experiences!

Yes!
Oh, my God!

Yay!
Daly:
You were just stolen by Gwen.

Oh, my God.
Gwen, why do you want to use
your -- your one steal on Sasha?

It was just too good.

And that shows me you just need
a little bit of, like, love

to just push you
in the right direction.

And it's gonna be
really fun to do that.

It's my favorite thing to do
with a young girl.

Like, I've already
lived your dream,

but you're way better
than me.

You're, like,
already so incredibly talented,

and I cannot wait to
get to know you a little bit

and -- and figure out what kind
of music you want to do.

It's gonna be so fun.

Give it up.
Gwen steals Sasha.
Oh, my God!

Congratulations,
Sasha.

We'll see you
in the knockouts.

Go meet
your new coach.
Yes!

Gwen: Yay!
You're on my team!
Oh, my God!

Sasha: Gwen is amazing because
she is women empowerment,

and she paved the way
for us.

What?
[ Gasps ] Oh, my gosh!

[ Laughs ] What am I?
Are you kidding me?!

[ Both laugh ]
Thank you so much.

Hi. This is so exciting.
I know.

I wasn't even
planning on it.

It was just a very
spontaneous moment.

I was not expecting that.

I stole Sasha because
she couldn't go home.

She was too good.

Do you have a save?
No.

I have a save.
I have nothing left.

Wow.
It's kind of nice

because I don't have to
think about it anymore.
I have a save.

**

Jazmine,
you are the truth!

Thank you.

So happy to have you.
Your voice is so incredible.

Your runs, just the soul
that you have in your voice,

it's so yours.

It's, like, so unique.

There's a lot of imitators
out there that want to be you...

Oh!
...but nobody has it
quite like you.

Aww. Thank you.
I know our singers are gonna
flip when they see you.

Thank you for having me.
Thank you.
Yes. Thank you.

All right, so,
we've got Kim and David.

Oh, my gosh.
Oh, my God.

This is really happening.
This is crazy.

Kim is definitely
incredible.

* If life was a movie *

* Then you're the best part *

* Woooooha *

Really soulful, jazzy,
just beautiful.

Whoo!

Four chairs!

And then, David,
the wildest thing about him is

he played
my body double.

[ Both chuckle ]
What?

And he had a choice
between me and another coach.

And I was like,
"Come on, now, you got --

You -- You literally were
my body double."
Right. Right.

* You'll never need me *

* Aga-a-a-a-a-in *

I was the first person
to turn for him.

* Whoa-oa-oa-oa-oa-oa-oa-oa-oa *

* Whoa-oa-oa-oa-oa-oa-oa-oa-oa *
Oh, wow.

You made it really dramatic
and soulful and heartfelt.

I loved your performance.

Thank you so much.

Come on in,
Kim and David.
[ Laughs ]

* Come on in,
come on in, in, in, in *

* Wait till you see
my special guest *
* Come on in, in, in *

* Wait till you see
my special guest *

* Whoo!
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm *

All right.

Oh, my God.

Look who's here.

This is crazy.

* Hey, hey, hey, hey *
The queen of runs!

* Hey, hey, hey, hey *
Jazmine Sullivan is here.
Oh, my gosh!

One of the greatest vocalists
of this generation.

Jazmine Sullivan
is Team Legend's adviser.

Hey. Hi.
How you doing?
Great to see you.

I love you
so frickin' much.
Thank you!

David: I've always been obsessed
with her.

She is such
an important voice.

Kim: Today is definitely a
once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

And I didn't even have to buy
VIP tickets.

[ Laughs ]

**

* These days
that feel like you and me *

* Heartbreak anniversary *

* Do you ever think of *
David and Kim -- they're
performing a Giveon song...

* Do you ever,
do, do you ever *
...called
"Heartbreak Anniversary."

I wanted to see
these two soulful artists...

* Do you ever,
do, do you ever *
...sing a great contemporary
soul song.

* Think of me, oh *

* I *

Kim: I can relate
to this song...
Hey!

* Said I get like this
every time *
...because I had a relationship

that I experienced
a great deal of heartbreak from.

I got a bite.

My dad knows
I love nature,

and being around nature
is definitely, to me,

the best remedy
for heartbreak.

Woman:
She got a fish out.

Kim:
So, we would go fishing.
[ Laughs ]

And when I'm out there,
I can just be me.

I caught it,
but I'm not gonna eat it.

It just gives you peace

and just a moment
to just reflect.

You guys are amazing.

Standing in front of royalty
right here.

I love when
you harmonize together.
Thank you.

I think the only thing
I would not do

is ad-lib over each other
during those early sections.

* Why you walk out
my life? *

* Yeah *

It's a little too, uh
choir-y in that moment.
Okay.

It should be
a little more laid back.

* Why you walk out
my life? *

Maybe just something
a little lighter, too.
Little simpler.

I was coming in
like a choir.

* Why you walk out my life?
Yeah *

Jazmine: Kim has
one of those voices that...
Whoo!

...you just
will never forget.

It's just like,
"I've never heard this before."

This is her sound.

* Still have
your things here *
Sing.

Girl.
* They stare at me
like souvenirs *

And it's just so warm
and inviting.

She the real deal,
seriously.

Girl, you make me literally
want to just sing with you.

That tone was, like,
otherworldly.

You sound like
an instrument.

It's amazing.
So good.

But I think maybe back up
a little bit from the mic,

so it's not so strong, like,
while the person is singing.

David, I love your melodies
in the hook.

If you kept to the melody
earlier on,

and then, when we get there,
it's kind of, like, it builds...

Yeah.
...that'd be great.

* On these days that feel like
you and me, yeah *

David had
a really sweet tone.
* Heartbreak anniversary *

It's like a higher tone for
a male within a tenor range.

It was just really nice
and really pleasant.

You know what I like
about you?

I feel like
you're taking notes...

Yes.
...and you're getting better
every time.

That's
definitely true.

David:
I'm just so inspired

to get compliments

from John and Jazmine.

**

But for me,

it really
hasn't always been easy.

When I was younger,
I was bullied and judged

for being the guy

that was just really
so interested in music.

So, I tried to change
my style.

I tried out for
the basketball team.

That was ultimate fail.

And to relate to
"Heartbreak Anniversary,"

it's heartbreaking thinking that
I felt like

that's what I needed to do
to be accepted.

* Do you ever,
do you ever think of me? *
What I've learned is

you always win
when you're true to yourself.

* Do you ever,
do, do you ever *

So, I really want to
bring that emotion...

* Think of me? *
...to the stage for the song.

* Yeah, oh *

All right!
Whoo!

Make sure y'all coordinate
that last little run.

I wouldn't want you
having separate runs

that are going
different directions.

I'd rather you land firmly,
you know, like Simone Biles,

when she, like,
land on two feet firmly.
Kim: Yeah.

Just don't kind of
get in each other's way.

We want to be able to hear
both of you.

Kim: This is a challenge

because I'm singing a guy's song
against a guy.

So, John is definitely pushing
me outside of my comfort zone.

Until it's battle time,

David and I are gonna
work on this performance

at the hotel

and perfect it
to the best of our ability.

* Think of me?
Yeah *

Because I really,
really, really,

really want to win
this battle.

* Yeah *

Yes!

* Oh *

That's the ending.
That's the ending.
Yay! Yay!

Simone Biles.
Yay!

Two feet on the ground.

We felt that.

Giveon will be proud.
Ha ha!

Bring the song, baby.
Bring the song.

Sing it. Whoo!

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back
to the battle rounds.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Whoo! Yes, David!

[ Laughs ]

Kim!

Sing, y'all!

This battle begins
right now.

**

* Ooh *

**

* Balloons are deflated *

* Guess they look lifeless
like me *

* I miss you
on your side of the bed *

* Mmm,
and don't you know that *

* I still have
your things here *

* And they stare at me
like souvenirs *

* I don't wanna let you
out my head *

* Hey, yeah *

* Just like the day
that I met you *

* The day
I thought forever *

* You said that
you loved me *

* But that'll
last for never *

* It's cold outside *

* Like when you walked out
my life *

* Why you walk out
my life? *

* Yeah *

* I *

* Get like this
every time *

* On these days that feel like
you and me *

* Heartbreak anniversary *

* And don't you know
that I *

* Remember every time *

* On these days that feel like
you and me *

* Heartbreak anniversary *

* Do you ever think of *

* Do you ever,
do, do you ever *
* Yeah! *

* Do you ever,
do you ever think of me? *

* Do you ever,
do, do you ever *

* Think of me? *

* Oh *

* I *

* Said I get like this
every time *

* On these days that feel like
you and me, yeah *

* Heartbreak anniversary *

* Oh, woah *

* Said I *

* Yeah *

* On these days that feel like
you and me *

* Heartbreak anniversary *

* Do you ever think of *

* Do you ever,
do, do you ever *

Hey!
Hey!

* Do you ever,
do you ever think of me? *

* Do you ever,
do, do you ever *

* Think of me? *

* Yeah *

* Oh *

[ Cheers and applause ]

**

Whoo!

So proud of you.

[ Cheers and applause continue ]

Beautiful!

You guys are both
so good.

David, you did
all the flashy stuff.

You hit the big notes,
you had the personality --

everything you need
to have.

The --
The only problem is, Kim,

she has all of those same things
I'm talking about,

but then she has
some Kim thing

that God sprinkled
on her voice

that he didn't give
anybody else.

And -- And...

I would be going with Kim,
but, David, great job, dude.

Thank you so much.

[ Cheers and applause ]

That was one of my favorite
battle performances.

David, when you first
opened your mouth,

I was like, "Wow.

What a beautiful,
beautiful tone he has."

And then, Kim came in, and this
huge dragon comes out of you.

It was just masterful.

I mean, you have one of
the best voices

I've ever heard,
honestly.
Mm-hmm!

Thank you so much.

David, you know
I wanted you bad.

Ooh.
I fought for you.

I turned for you.
Wow.

Your voice is so pretty.

It's very beautiful.

And when it came in,
I was like, "Oh!"

And besides your voice,
the way you look --

your hair, your mustache,
your outfit, your --

Oh, my God, Blake.
Whoa!

No, I'm saying, like...
[ Laughter ]

He's got style.

Thank you so much.

You deserve to have the hype
that we're all giving you,

because it was so good.

[ Cheers and applause ]

And you guys both together
had super great chemistry,

so thank you for that.
Thank you.

Daly:
Thank you, Coaches.

All right, John,
you got the final decision.

Give us some thoughts
on the battle first.

One of the things that I love
about David

is the joy
that you bring.

You just are smiling
and lighting up every moment.

That's so nice.
[ Chuckles ]

Today, the clarity was there.
The smoothness was there.

You delivered when
you were supposed to deliver.

Thank you so much, John.

Absolutely.

Kim, my Lord.

Mm-hmm.
[ Both laugh ]

[ Cheers and applause ]

Not only do you have
this magical,

beautiful,
special tone,

but you have such control
over your instrument,

and you are just
an elite vocalist.

We don't see very many artists
on this stage

that can do all the things
that you can do

and do it so well.

[ Cheers and applause ]

[ Chuckling ]
Thank you so much.

All right, Johnny,
the time has come.

Who is the winner
of this battle?

I loved your attitude

and the way
you worked with each other

with true passion
and love and joy.

So, thank you for that.

[ Cheers and applause ]

[ Dramatic music plays ]

Um...

**

Um...

**

The winner of this battle
is Kim.

Ah!
Yeah!

Daly: Kim Cruse --
moving on to knockouts.

Kim: I'm super excited
to keep working with John

and take his critiques

and keep going
higher and higher.

It's just like
a dream come true.

And I get to wake up
tomorrow morning

and still be living
in this dream.

So, it's just crazy!
It's crazy.

David, anything you want to say
to your coach?

Man, I enjoyed working

and just hearing every single
thing that you've had to say,

critical and just
inspirational encouragement.

I'm so honored.
So, thank you so, so much.

You're a lovely person,
too.

Give it up for David Andrew
one more time,

ladies and gentlemen!
Thank you all.

John:
David -- he was flawless.

His problem was
he was going against Kim.

She's one of the best singers
we have this season.
You're a really lovely guy.

She has quite an arsenal of
weapons that she has access to.

I can't wait to see
what she does next.

That girl sings good.
[ Laughs ]

It's ridiculous.

Mm. Yeah.

Daly: Coming up...

overcoming nerves...

There's a beast in there.
Yeah.

I don't think
you're letting it happen yet.

...can lead to
incredible performances...

* And to see you
cuts me like a knife *

* Just can you leave me alone? *

I freaked out
the whole time.

Daly: ...and surprises.

[ Whoosh ]
That's the sound of a steal!

Oh, my God!
We'll see you in the knockouts
with your new coach.

**

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back.

**

Madison: Ready for this?
Kate: I'm ready for this.

Let's go. Let's go.
Let's do it!

We got this.

Blake: So, this is
Kate and Madison.

And this is interesting
because --

remember I was talking
about the goat disaster...

Mm-hmm.
...that happened
during the blind auditions?

That was during
one of theirs?
This was Kate, yeah.

* Yeah,
there's always been *

Go!

* A rainbo-o-o-o-o-o-o-w *

* Hangin' over *

Well, actually --
"What are we doing?"

Oh! How did he do that?

[ Microphone off ]
Why do you -- Why --
Can y'all hear her?

Because my mute button really
does work, doesn't it?

[ Laughter ]
[ Bleating ]

Come on. Alright,
this ain't going to work.

[ Microphone on ]
Your team mascot doesn't
even wanna be here.

She was very forgiving of how
stupid I looked at that moment.

Come on! Please!
[ Laughs ]

It's so embarrassing if my
hometown girl doesn't pick me.

Blake.
Yes!

I'm the G.O.A.T.!

Kate: I think I'm the first
contestant on "The Voice"

that a goat
has physically been onstage,

like, trying to coerce me
onto their team.

So I feel pretty special
about that.

And then, Madison did
a really cool version

of "Knockin'
on Heaven's Door."

That was big shoes
to fill.

Bob Dylan.
Yeah.

* I feel I'm knockin' on
Heaven's door *

It sounded country
coming out of your mouth.

Yes, I love --
I'm here for the twang.

This is the team
that you belong on, Madison.

Blake Shelton.

Yes!

Come on in.
Hey.

We got some singers
here.

Oh, my God!
Whoa!

What's up?
How you all doing?
Come meet Jimmie Allen.

How are you? Jimmie.
Hi.
Hi.

Good to meet you.
How you doing?

Nice to meet you.
Oh. I'm Kate.

Madison: That was so cool --
walking into the room today --

see Jimmie Allen
and Blake Shelton right there.

Jimmie Allen's, like,

the biggest guy in country
right now.

I'd heard Jimmie's songs
all over the radio.

* You're gonna make me
want to *

That's one of his songs.
So good.

You're from Florida?
Florida.

Yeah.
Yeah.

And you're from...
Oklahoma City.

Got it.
Born and raised?
No.

I've lived there
for 10 years, though.

During my senior year,

my family decided to move
to Oklahoma City

because my parents
are pastors.

It was really hard on me.

In general, like,
in high school and stuff,

I was never the cool kid.

I was always
the weird, shy girl.

I wouldn't be able to talk
to someone at church,

but then, I could stand onstage
and sing.

And so, in a way, the stage
has always been safe.

I think Blake will help me
because he sees something in me,

and he's gonna push me

to be better than I feel like
I can be.

You were always
my first choice, so...
Same.

Well, it's --
it's an Oklahoma thing and --

Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Awesome.

Well,
let's hear some music.

* We both lie silently still
in the dead of the night *

I gave Kate and Madison
"Every Rose Has Its Thorn"...

* Although we both lie
close together *
...because
they're both storytellers

and they're both soulful...
* We feel miles apart
inside *

...but they've kind of both got
a foot in different areas.

* Was it something I said
or something I did? *
And so that's why I've also
paired them together.

* Did my words
not come out right? *

"Every Rose Has Its Thorn"
is about a breakup.

* Though I tried
not to hurt you *
For me, it's just how
the happiest person...

* Yeah, I tried *
...is maybe really sad
on the inside.

* I guess
that's why they say *
We just don't know.

* Every rose has its thorn *

The more I hear
Madison's voice,

the more I -- I'm really
starting to become drawn to it.

* Just like every night
has its dawn *

* Just like every cowboy *
Her voice
is kind of like a mix

between a male and female
country singer.

* Sings a sad, sad song *

* Every rose has its thorn *
There's parts where
I hear Reba,

then there's parts
where I hear Garth Brooks.

I love her tone, especially when
she's in that lower register.

* Every cowboy
sings a sad, sad song *

I knew Kate
was a great singer.

I mean,
her tone is like nobody else's.

And I want to explore her
falsetto even more if we can.

* Every rose has its thorn *

I like Kate's approach.

When she sings and she hits
those bigger notes...

* Every rose has its thorn *
...it's some sort of
innocent power, innocent passion

that she has
to what she's doing.

Well, what do you think?

There was definitely a part
where, like,

you were going for a note.
Yeah, I'm like, "Uh!"

You hit it eventually,
but just go for it.
I know.

'Cause you got to it.
Blake: If you can
get to that place,

that note
that he's talking about,

and -- and you feel
comfortable getting there.
Madison: Right.

But if you feel like it...
Yeah.

...is vocally something
that's gonna derail you...

Right.
...I would never want you

to do
something like that.

There's a balance.

Everyone else here has had a lot
of practice performing live.

I'm not that used to putting
myself out here on this level.

This is nothing compared to,
like, high-school auditoriums,

where we would do talent shows.

I was, like, feeling very proud
of my performance

on the blind audition stage.

Like, I started tearing up

towards the end,
and I'm just like, "Wow."

Like, they all really did see
that special thing in me.

Yeah.
I don't know why I'm crying.

[ Voice breaking ] It's hard for
me to believe in myself a lot.

And so it was, like, crazy
to see other people

that don't even know who I am,

just, like, recognize that
in me.

For so long, I just, like
[Sniffles, sighs]

was not believing in myself.

[ Sighs ]
With each performance,

I just want the confidence
to keep growing.

And I think Blake is
a great coach for me

to help me get out
of my own head and be myself.

You also can't chase her
either.

Just because she goes somewhere,
you shouldn't feel like,

"Well, now I got to do that,"
you know?
Yeah. God.

You just need to blow
our minds...
Yeah.

...with whatever thing you do
that works really good.
Sure.

The best thing you can do
is, if you feel

there's something that
you're not gonna nail it,

leave it outside.

[ Laughing ]
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah. Yeah.

Yes. Yeah.
Leave it outside.

* Instead of makin' love *

* We both made
our separate ways *

* And to hear that
tears me up inside *
Yeah.

Madison is really good
at lower notes.

* And to see you
cuts me like a knife *

And I feel like the song we have
has a ton of low spots.

* Every rose
has its thorn *
* Every rose,
every rose, every rose *

And she's just so strong
in those moments

that I can't really be
as strong in.
* Just like every night
has its dawn *

I feel like I excel more
in the higher notes.

And so in a way,
we can blend together.

But I am a little intimidated

to sing some of those
lower parts with her

because I know
she's just gonna k*ll it.

For you vocally, all right,
"How far can I push myself..."
Yeah. Sound not terrible.

"...out of my comfort zone
that I don't derail myself?"

And for you,
there's a beast in there.
Yeah.

I don't think
you're letting it happen yet.

You're only giving us
75% of the gas pedal.

It's like the goat
that don't want to come out.
There's more in there
than that.

It's like the goat that don't
want to come out.
It's like the goat.

It's like the goat.
Come on, goat.

I think both of these artists
are still trying to figure out

exactly what they're capable of
in this performance.

And I think whichever one
figures that out

is gonna win this battle.

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly:
Welcome back to the battles.

[ Cheers and applause ]

This battle starts right now.

[ Cheers and applause continue ]

**

* We both lie silently still
in the dead of the night *

* Although we both lie
close together *

* We feel miles apart
inside *

* Was it something I said
or something I did? *

* Did my words
not come out right?

* Though I tried
not to hurt you *

* Though I tried *

* But I guess that's why
they say *

* Every rose has its thorn *

Wow.

* Just like every night
has its dawn *

* Just like every cowboy
sings a sad, sad song *

* Every rose has its thorn *

Yeah, it does.

Yeah!

Kate: * Though it's been
a while now *

* I can still feel
so much pain *

* Like a knife that cuts you,
the wound heals *

* But that scar *

* That scar remains *

* Yeah *

* Every rose *

* Every rose *

* Every rose has its thorn *

[ Audience cheering ]

* I know I could've saved
a love that night *

* If I'd known
what to say *

* Instead of makin' love *

* We both made
our separate ways *

* And to hear that
tears me up inside *

* And to see you
cuts me like a knife *

* Every rose
has its thorn *

* Every rose,
every rose, every rose, yeah *

* Just like every night
has its dawn *

* Just like every cowboy
sings a sad, sad song *

* Every rose has its thorn *

* Every rose has its thorn *

Whoo!

[ Cheers and applause ]

Oh, my gosh.
Good job.

Great job.
Great job.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Whoo!

You remember me, Kate?

I definitely remember you.
Yeah.

You hear the sound
of my voice?
Yes.

You can't mute me anymore.

Does that still work actually,
now that I think about it?

I broke it.

Kate, you have one
of my favorite voices

on this show right now.
Thank you so much.

Whoa!
Right now, yeah.

Wow.
Camila: I fought for you
really hard in the blinds.

And clearly, I still am.

I think that
you were so excellent.

With this song,
I feel like you leveled up.

You did
some really high notes,

but you did it in a tasteful way
that's so pleasant.

Oh, it's just like butter.

Like, your voice
is just butter.

And, Madison, your tone is
also really, really gorgeous.

I love your personality.

I love when you went,
"Yeah, it does."

I was like, "Yeah!"
John: Yeah. Yeah, it does.

"Yeah, it does."
It does, it does.

"Every rose
doeshave thorns."

Camila is having
a nervous breakdown right now

on the -- on the show.
[ Laughter ]

I think I am, but at least
you guys are laughing.

[ Laughter ]

Gwen: Madison,
my favorite thing about you

is your ability
to sing those verses

so, like,
soft and emotional.

Vocally,
your sweet spot is --

is the -- that tenderness
that you have.

And I thought
it was really pretty.

Your tone's incredible.

Kate,
when you're singing,

it's not just about the voice
and the tone and the lyric --

It's how you interpret that
with your body.

You seem really
effortless with that.

It's very believable
and honest.

Really great.
Thank you so much.

Kate, you started to just
emerge as a superstar

when you opened up
and got big at the end.

Wow. Like, when you're
hitting those notes,

there's, like, this openness
and roundness to your voice.

And it's just so, so good.

Madison,
they're right about your tone.

I really loved the tender alto
that you were singing with,

particularly at the beginning
of the song.
Mm-hmm.

I really thought
you did that really well.

Daly:
Thank you, Coaches.
Thank you.

All right, Blake,
you got the final decision.

Give us some thoughts
on the battle.

It might just be me,

but when we're talking
about Madison's tone,

I-I swear there's a little Elvis
in your voice somehow.
Yeah.

I thought overall,
your performance was good.

There was a few moments
where I heard

some -- some pitchy things
there towards the end.

Kate, your performance,
when you started singing,

like, I could hear them
one by one go,

"Oh." "W-Whoa." "Hey."
You know?

And that's kind of
how I felt, too,

when you started singing, was,
like, "I knew she was good,"

but then we had the whole goat
distraction, and maybe I --

Maybe I kind of forgot
a little bit.

And then we got
in rehearsals, and, like,

"Oh, no,
she's really good."

I actually brought
my goat today.

Did you?
Bring them out!

[ Gwen laughs ]

Just kidding.

[ Laughs ]

This crowd hates me.

She's on fire, folks.

Will you guys please laugh
at one of her jokes?

Just one of them.
[ Laughter ]

And then -- And then...
Thank you.

Daly: Blake, it's time.

Who is the winner
of this battle?

[ Dramatic music plays ]

The way I always judge
these battles is, I try to judge

based on what happened
right here, right now.

And so that's what
I'm gonna do.

The winner of this battle
is Kate.

[ Cheers and applause ]
Let's go! Whoo!

Kate, congratulations.
You got it.
Good job.

You're moving on to the
knockouts for Team Blake.

[ Cheers and applause continue ]

Thank you so much.
Way to go, buddy.

Kate's voice is just --
I don't know.

There's something really sweet
about her voice

and how connected she is
with herself when she's singing.

You can see it
in her body language onstage.

And she's just so much fun
to work with.

I can't wait to see
what Kate does

in these three-way knockouts.

Daly: Madison, anything you want
to say to your coach?

This whole experience
has been amazing.

Like, I've just improved
mentally,

physically, spiritually,
so I'm just so honored

to be on the stage
and have this opportunity.

Thank you, everyone.

Give it up
for Madison Hughes.

[ Cheers and applause ]
John: Great job, Madison.

Gwen: Great job.

Great job.

Do you want me to have them
write you some jokes?

I mean, it's the crowd.

Something in this crowd.
I don't know.

Do y'all think
she's funny?

No?

You do?

Are you in her fan club,
though?

That doesn't count.

That does not count.

Thanks. Thank you.

I'm having a bit
of an off day today.

I might be trying too hard or --
or not trying enough.

I don't know.
She needs a drink, I think.

Yeah, I might.

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly:
Welcome back to "The Voice."

Blake, does it help
when the other coaches

are giving their opinions
about one of your battles?

Do you listen to what
they have to say?

Especially whenever
it's exactly in line

with what I'm already thinking.

When it's not,
I don't listen.

I only take advice that agrees
exactly with my...

So it's both of you.
Gwen, how about you?

They have swayed me
so many times,

like, to -- to the point
where I'm like,

"I think
John's trying to sabotage me."

I'm not that conniving.
Yeah.

I'm truly just honest.
That's very conniving.

I really am. I promise.
I believe that.

That's what liars say, too,
though, so...

[ Laughter ]
Yeah.

**

Man on P.A.:
30 seconds out.

Alyssa:
Being here for the battles
is, like, absolutely insane

'cause I didn't even think
that I would, like, be here.

I definitely hope to win,

and I hope that I get
to the knockout round.

That's something that would be
such a great accomplishment.

Ian: Of course I'm nervous
going against Alyssa.

I mean, she's a very talented
vocalist and performer,

but competing to go to
the knockouts feels incredible

and, like, a
once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

I just get fascinated
to think of you

as a -- a young boy
growing up in Jamaica.

Listening to Bob Marley.

I would never imagine
that me and you

would be sitting on
"The Voice" coaching together.

Neither me.
I was like, "Wait a minute."

Like, what in God's earth?

Thank you, God.
Hey, hey. Hey, big guy.

Thank you.
We get to have Ian and Alyssa.

Alyssa actually sang
"Don't Speak."

[ Whispering ] She's talking
about me, Miss Gwen.
She is.

[ Breathes sharply ] Yeah.

I'm having a fan girl moment
right now. I'm, like, shaking.

Ian just has a, like, a lot of
style in his voice, so...

Hi!

Hi, guys!
Hi!

Oh, my God!
Sean Paul to the rescue!

Sean: Hey. What's up?
Hi.

Sean Paul. He has done
so many collaborations

with so many different artists.

He knows everybody.
He's so cool.

Alyssa, thank you
for doing my song.

No, you don't understand.

Like, I remember listening
to that song

as a kid and being like,
"Oh, my God,

like, what if I just, like,
sang the song?"

And then, like, I sing it
for you, of all people?

* We used to be together *

Oh, my God,
that's so weird.

* Every day together *
I have to press.

Oh, got two right away!
* Always *

Getting two chair turns,
almost immediately, too --

That's something
that I will never forget.

You're, like,
the perfect, ideal

dream girl
to work with,

so there's that.
Gwen!

Gwen has been, like,

one of my heroes
growing up.

Now she's my coach.
[ Squeals ]

Ian, you have so much style
in your voice

and personality.
Thank you.

I think
you were the first one

to get on my team, right?
I was. Yeah.

* Take me back
to the night we met *

I got three chairs to turn.

I could not believe it. It was
one of the best days of my life.

* Oh, take me back
to the night we met *

It is wild that I'm performing
for millions of people

on national television,

mainly because
I am 20 years old.
Yes!

I'm a college student,
and I work at a bar full time,

and that's usually
just to pay my bills.

A barback is a person
who does everything

that the bartenders don't.

They do the glassware,
they stock the shelves,

fill up ice containers,
clean bathrooms, bus tables.

It's an incredibly tough job.

And to compare it to singing,

it's the same sense
of accomplishment,

especially with this battle.

Like, I know that
it's gonna be hard.

I know that
it's gonna be tough.

But I know at the end of it,
I'm gonna come out feeling

really good and hopefully moving
on to the knockout rounds.

* When I'm away
from you *

Gwen: I gave them "Happier
Than Ever" by Billie Eilish...
* I'm happier than ever *

...because I think they both
have quirky, stylistic voices.

* Wish that
I could explain it better *

Sean:
Ian's voice, it stands out,

and it -- and it gives --
adds character to the song.
* I wish it wasn't true *

And that's always something
that catches people, you know.

* Give me a day or two *

Gwen: Alyssa has the whole,
total package.
* To think
of something clever *

She's absolutely cute.
She has style.

* To write myself a letter *
She has so much personality.

I really,
really was impressed with her.

* To tell me what to do *

Alyssa:
I absolutely love the song.

The things that she sang,
I've totally felt.

There was a point
in my current relationship

with my boyfriend,
who I love very much,

where I felt like
I wasn't being heard enough.

It was frustrating,
but we just started to open up

more to each other
and communicate better.

I think we needed to go
through that rough patch

to get to where we are now
'cause it's better than ever.

He's known, like,
since I've met him

that this is all
I've ever wanted to do.

So I know that he's always
my number-one supporter.

I think the beginning
of the song is the place

we're probably gonna have
to work on because...
Oh, yeah.

...this is the thing
about, like, Billie Eilish.

It's almost whispering
in the first part, huh?

It's more staccato, too.

Like, it's not --
It's shorter.

* When I'm away from you *
* Away from you *

Her lyric is so amazing

'cause she's talking about
that she is screwed up

and she needs to, like,
deal with herself. Right?
Oh, yeah.

And so that quirkiness
and that weirdness,

you need to let that theater
and personality come out.

Bring us to the --
the stadium.

100%.

Being in front of
two very big names in music

was honestly surreal.
* You were my everything *

* All that you did
was make me frickin' sad *

But also it was
incredibly intimidating.

It's definitely a situation
I have to get over.
Alyssa:
* You ruined everything good *

I hope to make myself stand out

by incorporating
a lot of my emotion into this.

* Always said
you were misunderstood *

And so I'm gonna go home.
* Made all my moments
your own *

And I'm really gonna work
the kinks out

and figure out what I need
to do better.

* Just can you leave me alone? *

Gwen: I wanted to give them
an opportunity

to really let their
personalities come through.

And it's not easy to do.

* Mmm *

So it's definitely
gonna be a hard song.

I'm looking for a saturated
version of your personality

to come through,
like, your style,

and it's -- it's gonna be a lot
to do with not just the voice.

Yeah.
It's gonna be to do
with your facial expressions.

Your mannerisms, yeah.
Yeah.

Let those lyrics
guide your body.

Thank you so much.

It means the world
coming from you guys.

Like, you giving us compliments
is, like, insane.

There's two singers with two
different styles of voices

and different styles of singing.

Gwen is in trouble again, man.
She's putting --

She likes to put herself
in trouble here.

Thank you guys so much.
[ Smooches ]

Thank you, guys.
See you, guys.

Bye!

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly:
Welcome back to the battles.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Yes, Alyssa!

Look at that dress.

Ian!

They look so cool.

They're so cute!

They're so cool.
So cute!

Let's go.
They look great.

The battle starts right now.

**

* When I'm away from you *

* I'm happier than ever *

* Wish I could explain it
better *

* I wish it wasn't true *

* Give me a day or two *

* To think
of something clever *

* To write myself a letter *

* To tell me what to do *

Whoo!

* Mm-mmm *

Goody.

Yes!

* You call me again,
drunk in your Benz

* Driving home
under the influence *

* You scared me to death,
but I'm wasting my breath *

* 'Cause you only listen
to your stupid friends *

* I don't relate to you *

* I don't relate to you, no *

* 'Cause I'd never treat me
this badly *

* You made me hate
this city *

Hey! Hey!

* And I don't talk crap
about you on the Internet *

* Never told anyone
anything bad *

'Cause that's just
embarrassing *

* You were my everything *

* All that you did
was make me frickin' sad *

* You ruined
everything good *

* Always said
you were misunderstood *

* Made all my moments
your own *

* Just can you leave me alone? *

Hey!

Hey!

* Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh *

* Ahh *

Yes!

[ Cheers and applause ]

Wow.

Whoo! Whoo-whoo-whoo!

Oh, my goodness.

I loved that.
That was so good.

You both are
so freaking cool.

[ Laughs ]
Seriously.

When you walked out,

I was telling Gwen how I loved
both of your outfit choices.

You look like stars.

And, Ian, I love that depth
in your voice,

and it's just so, like, full
and has such presence.

It felt like the song
wasn't too big for you.

You were there
to dominate the song.

Alyssa,
you were pretty much flawless.

Your voice sounded amazing.

Your tone was perfect
for the song.

I would pick Alyssa only

because the song was just
right in her wheelhouse.

But both of you
are just really good,

and I really enjoyed you both.

Thank you very much.
Thank you.

I felt like Alyssa stayed
in her lane the entire time.

And Ian,
at first I thought,

"Oh, my God, he's gonna be
stuck down there in that --"

Mm-hmm.
"...in that lower register
the entire time."

But then the bridge
happened.

He went, "Rah!"
And that's...

that's when
you got the big reaction

out of the room.
She's right.

We all felt that. I got to see
two different versions

of Ian up there, you know,

and they were both really good,
and the shock factor of that

is the reason
that I'd be picking Ian

based on what I just heard
in that moment.

Thank you.
Thank you very much.

Guys, it's going down
right now.

Yes, it went down.

It went down. If I had to pick,
I would say Alyssa,

just because I think
performance-wise,

from the beginning to the end,
you just kept blowing my mind.

Like, I was just like,
"I'm about to just go start

a Twitter fan account
for this girl."
Mm-hmm.

I'll just, like, be right back.
I'll just be like,

"AlyssaStanNumber13."

[ Laughter ]
AlyssaStan13.

But, Ian, I think that
with the right song,

I could start a fan account
that's like IanLover105.

[ Laughter ]

Daly: Thank you, Coaches.
Alyssa: Thank you.

Ah, my gosh. Ahh!

All right, Gwen.
You have the final decision.

Give us some thoughts first
and then tell us who won.

Okay, Carson Daly.

Okay.
This is the thing.

Ian,
your kind of voice for a male

is -- is my favorite
kind of voice.

And you have so much range.

When you went to
your high notes,

it was as good
as any alternative singer.

I'm a super-fan
of what you do.

Alyssa, I think I want to be you
when I grow up.

So that's --
that's the problem.

You know, I think --
I want to be you.

[ Laughs ] I mean,
you did "Don't Speak."

It was
the first time probably

in my entire career
that I was like,

"Actually, that was pretty good.
Like, I thought she was...

I liked that."
This is really hard for me.

I don't know what to do
at this point, Carson Daly.

I really don't.

I really don't
and, honestly, did not...

You pick, Carson Daly.
I'll tell you, 100%,

where I'm leaning right now

was not what I thought
I was gonna do today.

I mean, absolutely did not know
this was gonna happen, but...

Oh, my goodness.
Daly: Well,
it's a tough decision, Gwen.

The suspense.

But the time has come. Who is
the winner of this battle?

Don't be mad at me, guys.
I love you both.

And I think you're
both super-gifted.

You have a future.
Keep loving music.

Keep being honest
with your music

and do it
for the right reason.

I'm going to say that Alyssa
won the battle.

Alyssa, congratulations.

You're moving on to the
knockouts for Team Gwen.

Come here! Give me a hug!

[ Cheers and applause ]

You sliced it.
I wanna -- I wanna cry
with Gwen.

You did so good.

Gwen: I ended up
going with Alyssa

because I think that she
has such stage presence.

I'm excited to see how far
she comes on the show.

She's very likable.
She's very lovable, actually,

and
she's kind of a full package.

I want to show that she made
the right decision in picking me

and that I'm gonna go
super-far in this competition

and it's gonna all work out
as well as it's supposed to.

I can't -- I'm so sorry.

I'm, like,
hyped up on emotions right now.

Coaches, let me remind you
that Ian is available

to steal or save.

Ian, anything you want
to say to Gwen?

Ah, this is so hard!

I mean, thank you so much
for this opportunity. This is --

[ Whoosh ]
Oh, my God!

Daly:
That's the sound of a steal!
Get outta here!

From John Legend!
Oh, my God!

By John?!
[ Laughs ]

John wastes no time
to steal Ian.

Wow. Oh, my God.
Wow!

That's -- That's amazing.

Talk to us, John.

Ian's from my hometown,
my home area.

Aww.
And it's time to come on home,
Ian.

I love that.

I really love your voice.
And I loved you in the blinds.

And I would love to have
you on my team, Ian. I
think you're fantastic.

Wow.
How's that work
for you, Ian?

I mean, this is so exciting.
Thank you so much.

John steals Ian Harrison
from Team Gwen.

We'll see you in the knockdowns
with your new coach.
Come on.

So good. Great.
Thank you so much.

I'm so excited.
I love the fact
that he's from Ohio.

I follow him
on almost every social media

because I think he's incredible.

Welcome to Team Legend, buddy.
Oh, my gosh.

We got to get you
a new jacket.
Dude.

A new Legend jacket.
We -- We really do.

Let's do it.
