This is a hard
thing for the coaches

Blake, are you ready?
No, I'm nervous.
That is super "Hunger Games."
Why is it so hard for me?
Semifinals are coming up next.
And the fact that
we don't get a steal,
the fact that there's
no pass or anything.
I've got goosebumps
as I'm saying it right now.
Puts the pressure on all of the
artists and their performances.
I think you got to
move him forward.

Yeah, go ahead and

Good luck to you tonight.
Thank you.
Yeah!
Good luck tonight.
Perfect. Thanks, man.
Alright. We
got a big night.
Here's how this is gonna
work. Let's break it down.
Team Blake and Team Chance
will be taking turns
performing on the stage.
At the end of the
night, Blake and Chance
both are gonna have very
difficult decisions to make.
They each can only
pick two of their artists
to represent them
in the live semifinals.
So I'm sure they're
dreading that.
Chance, this is
your first playoffs.
What was it like to prepare
the team for tonight?
It was kinda easy, to be honest.
My team is fire.
Well, we're looking forward
to it. Good luck to you.
And, Blake, this is
your last playoffs.
How are you feeling about that?
And how's your team
looking for tonight?
Well, better than
Chance, I think.
Did you say everybody
on your team is...
Everybody's fired?
Oh, my God, man,
that's a terrible
attitude to have.
You gotta pick
two of them at least.
Fire, Blake, fire.
Do I go tonight?
Oh, my God. Yes, yes.
Uh, I'm ready. Looks like it.
Any thoughts at
your last playoffs?
It sucks, man. It sucks.
These decisions are tough,
and it's sad that this
is the last playoffs
I'll ever get to do.
But, you know,
Kelly got me fired.
A-And it's time to find out...
Oh, my God.
What's next in line.
It is a night packed
with performances.
We can waste no
more time. Let's get to it
and see how our first
artist prepared for tonight.
Blake. What are
you doing, buddy?
I'm ready to rock out.
♪ I put a spell on you ♪
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
NOIVAS becomes this
whole character when he's onstage,
and it's hard to not
gravitate towards that.
Your talent is fearless.
I'm proud of NOIVAS.
You know, he's
former Team Chance.
That boy an actor.
People like NOIVAS
That's a star.
NOIVAS' bread and
butter is getting out on that stage
and just taking over the room.
He's just got a cool
factor about him.
NOIVAS is my
ultimate entertainer.
For playoffs, I'm
singing "Come Together,"
which is a staple in rock.
♪ Here come old flat-top ♪
♪ He come grooving up slowly ♪
The fun thing about
NOIVAS is that he comes in
looking like a
rancher from Texas.
♪ Come together ♪
But then he performs
these soulful rock songs.
♪ Over me ♪
He can hit these big notes.
He can hit them with power.
♪ Yeah, yeah, yeah ♪
And this song gives
him the opportunity
to do all those things.
When you do the
super high head voice,
you've got so much energy.
Sometimes they just go
a little bit past
the note. Got it.
But everything else
is so good, dude,
and it's just fun.
I can tell you're
having a blast,
so congratulations.
If NOIVAS can just get
the wildness under control,
this is gonna be another
k*ller performance.
Thank you for seeing
something in me.
I really wanted to work with you
because I felt like we
had a lot in common.
I mean, not only the fact
that we're both two tall guys...
you
know, pretty good-looking,
if I... if I say so
myself. Extremely.
Extremely good-looking,
yeah. You know?
And even the fact that
we both lost brothers.
How old were you when
you lost your brother?
21.
I was 14.
My brother passed away in 2013.
He was always the person
that you looked up to.
He was a physical therapist.
He was a great father.
The last thing he
told me was to do me.
Before my brother passed
away, I was very quiet.
It wasn't until I
lost my brother
that I started to
become fearless.
And this is a big song,
and I'm not afraid.
My brother, he
would've freaked out
if he could have known
what I went on to do
'cause he was just
such a huge music fan.
You'd hear him
coming six blocks away,
the stereo blaring out of his
truck, so... That's awesome.
That's cool your brother
got to see you do it.
If Alfred was still here,
he would be happy
that I followed the
words that he taught me...
Just do you.
And I'm gonna take that
into every performance.
We're going from five to
two. It's gonna be a tough day.
I'm up for the
challenge, though.
I came here with the
intention of getting to the lives.
And I'm gonna leave
it all there on the stage.
Blake.
Mr. The Rapper.
Good luck to you.
You too.
Bad luck to you.
You're going the wrong way.
Alright.
He's got a mic stand
again. Y'all watch out.
Not even with the stick.
What's he got, a walking stick?
Oh, his mic. Oh, okay.

Niall, what'd you think?
NOIVAS, whoa. Whoa. It's insane.
You brought a different
level of energy every week.
And this week you've
come out and you've put on
one of the best performances
we've seen on this show.
Wow.
Chance?
Incredible.
You just turned this
into your own concert.
The use of the
background vocalists
was something I
didn't see coming.
- I'm like, is he cheating?
- I don't know.
I thought the whole thing was...
I don't know. What's
the best word for it?
Fire.
Fire? Fire.
Fire!
If it was up to me,
I would send him right
ahead. You would?
Whoo! Hell, yeah. Okay.
Alright. Kelly?
I have no idea how
you don't make it.
Yeah. It was so incredible.
I mean, your range,
you were, like,
shredding with
the guitar vocally.
Like, it was, like, "What?"
I think I'm gonna
see you in the finale.
I'd be shocked if I didn't.
Let's see what your
coach thinks. Blake.
I'm glad the producers
decided to not give you
the most dangerous half
of the microphone stand.
I mean, because
people almost got hurt.
It was scary.
But I'm talking about
just an overall eruption
that happens on the stage
when this guy gets up here.
Your singing was incredible.
The way you perform,
it's a little bit wild
and it just works for
you, dude, great job.
How about another
hand for NOIVAS,
ladies and gentlemen?
NOIVAS came
out here and he set the bar,
I think, for the
entire competition.
Whoo!
I have other
performances to see,
but, man, he's gonna make
this a tough decision for me.
Good job, man.
Good job. Thank you.
A lot is riding on
these playoffs.
We've cut our team
in half two times
and now we're asked to
cut it even more than half.
This is painful.
I love that you
said "a little wild."
A little? A little wild.
It was like a lot wild.
Every time he
steps on the stage,
NOIVAS brings it.
And if he gets to the lives,
he is tough, tough
competition for Team Niall.
He's like 7 foot tall.
I'm pretty big, though.

This is my last chance to
really, like, size up my team

I was just saying
what's up. Hey!
Hey, what's up, man?
We welcome you to the

You fit right in. You
were the missing piece.
You put so much emotion into it.
Can't wait to hear you.
So I could cry. Thank you. Aww!
Kala is amazing.
That is the sound of a steal!
I can't believe
that Niall and Kelly
both let her go.
Kala is my blessing in disguise.

Kala's voice is so angelic,
but she has this
heartbreak with her rasp.
That just sticks out to me.
You're like one of
my favorite storytellers
I've ever worked with.
Thank you so much.
Letting Kala go
might be one of
my bigger regrets.
I'm so excited to see you
perform for Team Chance.
Yeah. Are you
excited for this song?
Yeah, I sang it when
I was in high school
where I was a vocalist
in the jazz band.
It really kind of opened my eyes
to how fun jazz can be.
♪ My funny Valentine ♪
I'm singing "My
Funny Valentine,"
which is nowadays
like a jazz standard.
♪ You make me smile ♪
People might think
jumping from coach to coach
can be a disadvantage,
but I feel like I've learned
something so unique
from each coach.
Chance built his own legacy.
It's really amazing to
get the opportunity to work
with someone
who has done it all.
♪ Valentine ♪
Kala really surprised me.
She has this ability to play
with the intricacies
on a lot of these songs.
She just brought
this new feeling to it.
I am broken right now.
Oh!
I literally just started crying.
Oh, my God.
The one note that I
had was if you just
sustained a little bit more.
The vibrato, I think, sometimes
breaks it up a
little bit too much.
But, like, what do I know?
I just started crying.
I have no idea what's happening
to me emotionally right now.
My eyes are also
really dry today.
Sure.
I'm brand-new to the show,
but I'm almost absolutely sure
that this is the best deal
to happen in the
history of "The Voice."
I'm so, so happy to have
you on the team, Kala.
I'm happy to be here.
Everybody on my team
should win this competition
and it's gonna be based
on this next performance
as to who's my two
to go to the live shows.
Wowzers.

You have to.
It's my show, so you

And I spoke to you about
this when we started.
Make sure that you sing songs
that could be on your record,
and that's just
different level now.
Thanks, Niall. Kelly.
You made it Kala's version,
like, as if that was
a brand-new song.
It was so beautiful
and dark but inspiring.
It was all the great adjectives.
Chance.
I'm so proud. That
was so incredible.
Like, it's crazy that
you slipped through
two other coaches' fingers.
You made me cry
in the rehearsal.
And... Wait a minute. You cried?
I did.
It was amazing. Thanks, Chance.
How about another big hand

Kala was insane.
You are unbelievable.
Her ability to change songs

esthetic and feel.
And it just reminded everybody
how dumb they were for
losing her on their team.
Like, are you crazy?
I thought I had made up in
my mind how I was gonna go.
And now everything's
kinda up in the air.
That was so beautiful.
God, why did I get rid of her?
Oh, my gosh. I'm
just relieved, I think.
I needed to give the best
performance of my life

Let's get some
thoughts from Chance.
Great control of the stage.
You were just... You were
just snaking around up there.
I felt like
there was maybe, like,
one or two moments
where it got a little pitchy,
but then you, like,
still caught yourself
right behind that.
And I thought it was an
awesome performance.
Thank you so much. Kelly.
I loved all the soaring notes.
I loved just artistically
where you went with it.
I love how big and open
your voice is, Rachel.
It's so beautiful. Great job.
Thank you. Niall.
Rachel, That was
beautiful. Great rendition of it.
Something I haven't heard.
Kind of a bit more theatrical.
That lower register stuff
is if you're anyway nervous,
it can scare the
life out of you.
And to get through that,
I thought you smashed it.
Obviously, Blakey Boy's
got some tough decisions
and some of his last decisions
he'll make on "The Voice."
But you've given him
something to think about.
Thank you.
Thank you, Coaches. Blake.
I got to tell you, man, you
threw a monkey wrench
into this whole thing for me
because to have you
fall into the mix here
last minute and for you to
swing for the fence like that,
you really did
an incredible job.
Thank you. And I'm so
blown away by you, Rachel.
I really am. Thank you so much.
How about another big hand
for Rachel Christine, everybody?
Rachel, she's got
such a gorgeous voice.
I love her.
I'm always excited
because my team gets stolen
and they stay on the show,
so I'm excited for them,
but, man, when they do such a
great job, you get a little bummed.
You're like, "Oh, man.
I maybe made a poor
decision."
I'll only choose
two artists to move forward.
And the stakes have
never been higher.
Rachel... I totally
respect her song choice
to show off what
she's capable of.
But, man, NOIVAS... I mean,
his stage presence is also
this physical thing
that happens onstage.
Man, I don't know
what I'm gonna do now.

I'm telling you, man! Whoa.
Oh, my God! Daly:
Jamar, great job.
Let's get some thoughts
from our coaches.
Kelly Clarkson.
You are incredibly
cool, man. Right?
Thank you. Thank you.
I mean, you just walk onstage,
the music hadn't even started,
and I already want to be you.
Like, you're just a cool dude.
When you play,
it's like your body
is singing with your voice.
That was such a great
performance. Thank you so much.
Thank you, Kelly. Blake.
Chance, your team... you
got some really big singers.
I don't know how he stacks
up against everybody else,
but I think from the standpoint
of just what you do vocally,
you nail it.
And then to mix in the guitar,
I think you got to
move him forward.
And again, it's my show,
and so what I say is...
So I have to do what
Alright, what you said.
Niall. Your voice just sounds
so familiar to me in
the best way possible.
And the conversational.
I forgot to say that.
But you were, like,
laughing and playful.
It was, like... It was so cool.
Usually you're like,
shy Jamar, you know?
Time to bring the beast
out. That's it. Yeah!
Showed up.
Well, I'll tell you what,
Chance, Jamar's your guy.
I appreciate that.
I appreciate that.
Jamar, let's see what
your coach thinks.
Chance. My
favorite thing overall
was your interaction
with the band.
Like, all of those
directional qualities
of being a real live
performer, like, next is the lives.
Like, this is, like,
the last chance I get
to pick who's gonna
be on Team Chance,
and you just made a
really, really strong case.
You just showed up
today. That was just raw.
Thank you. How about another big
hand for Jamar Langley, everybody?
Jamar. My boy
Jamar. He just went off.
His technical ability,
his pitch, his timing.
This round is definitely making
people bring their A-game.
I have no idea how
I'm gonna pick only two.
I keep trying to tell y'all
my whole team is fire.
And that was really
cool. That was so good.
Chance, pick me so we can
go ahead and win this thing.
I just realized there's
spider webs and a spider
on my chair right now.
I actually love spiders.
Grab it. I dare you. Okay.
You like spiders? Yeah.
I've never seen this. I need to
take a video of it. Can you see it?
We got Kelly Clarkson here
walking her pet spider.
I don't want it to fall.
Possibly the coolest
and grossest thing
I've ever seen on
the set of "The Voice."
There you go. You
can come on my chair.
Now it's my spider.
Ew.
♪ This is "The Voice" ♪
Welcome back to the playoffs.
There's a little
baby spider, so don't...
I was just telling
you not to k*ll it.
I took it from Chance's chair.
I think I'm covered
in spider webs right now.
I'm letting her hang with me.
Now it's the Michigan
country singer
who's singing a number-one
country hit tonight...
Grace West.
Grace, she's so consistent.
She's got this pure,
real country tone
that kind of takes me
back to my favorite days
in country music,
which is the '80s.
Grace is my last country artist.
♪ Maybe it was Memphis ♪
Grace's voice is incredible.
She knows all of the
nuances in a country singer,
and it's a kind of voice
that you can't really teach.
Oh, my gosh. I was so sad. Hi.
I thought you weren't
coming. Oh, pfft.
I was like, "Oh, Grace
forgot about me." Never.
Grace is only 19 years old,
and she already has a
publishing deal in Nashville.
It's a lot less stressful
coming in here
and not having
Reba looking at you
when you're about to sing.
And now this exposure
here on the show,
she's just literally
one step away now
from being the next
star on country radio.
This is "Love Is
Alive" by The Judds.
Do you know this song?
I never sang it
before, but I know it.
Have you done
any Wynonna at all?
One of the first songs
I learned on guitar,
especially playing out at
gigs, I learned "Grandpa."
Well, my guitar I got from
my grandpa when I learned.
And it's got my great
grandmother's name
engraved in the
top. Is that the one?
Yes, this is the one.
Whoa. Let me see.
So...
Got her name on a little
nameplate right here. Look at that.
♪ Love ain't a candle ♪
I was 13 when I first got
this guitar from my grandpa.
I started taking it
with me to gig places,
and I brought it to Nashville
every time I would
travel down to write.
So it has been with me for
every major musical event
and experience I've had.
Having the guitar with me is
like having my family with me.
♪ Love is alive and
at our breakfast table ♪
♪ Every day of the week ♪
I totally think
that Grace fits in
in what's happening in
country music right now.
The movement,
especially for females, is
it's leaning more traditional
than it has in years.
Well, I just think you
have such a pure-sounding voice,
and get enough air that you
can really milk those parts.
Just go out there and be Grace.
Alright.
Representing
Blake in his final lives
as a country artist... the
only one on his team...
That would be a dream come true.
Thank you. Yes, ma'am.
Thank you, buddy.
I'm so excited. Me, too.
I want to make the live
shows to prove to myself
that I can do this,
then move to Nashville.
I'm not going to college.
Like, I'm eat, sleeping,
and breathing music.
It will be all worth it.
Alright. See ya, buddy.
See ya. Thank you.
She got the hat out.
Yep. And the guit.

Now we're talking! Daly:
Give it up for Grace West.
Whoo!
Way to go. Let's get some
thoughts from our coaches.
We'll start with Niall.
Whoo. Say good stuff,
buddy. That was good.
I d... I don't have any bad
things to say about this girl.
Since day one, I've
just been a massive fan.
And no matter what
happens on this show...
I think you should
send her through...
There's no doubt that
you will have a career.
You've got the most
authentic, yet familiar voice
that you could possibly hear
coming out of country music.
And I'm all in for it.
Thank you.
Chance. There's a
reason you made it this far.
It's 'cause you
have great control
and a strong sense
of self in your identity,
and it shows in, like,
your song selection.
If I was Blake and I
wanted to win the show,
I would probably... I've thought
about winning... wanting to win.
So that makes
sense, yeah. Exactly.
I'd go with Grace. Okay.
Kelly. I'm
such a fan of you.
I love that you're so young.
You're 19, and you sing all this
great music that I grew up on.
You have a very flawless
way of singing country music.
It's just in your bones. Yeah.
I love this song so much,
but I don't think this song
showcased the best of you,
and I can't wait to see that.
I'm looking forward to what you're
gonna do. Thank you, Coaches.
Grace, let's see what
your coach thought.
Blake. I'm just trying
to still make some sense
out of what Kelly said,
which is common around here.
It made sense.
Well, you were just saying
that you loved the song,
you loved her
performance of the song,
but you wouldn't
have done that song.
We're picking two
people out of five.
I was just saying, I think
that song didn't do you justice
for what you actually
are capable of, overall.
Since the first time
I heard you sing,
I've just been excited.
I have this very
unique young artist
that I get to work with
on my last season.
The fact that you're the last
person I even hit my button for,
it's just been really
exciting to me.
And you did another great
job today, so awesome, Grace.
Yeah. Thank you so much.
How about another big hand
for Grace West, everybody?
Grace, she's been
consistent every single time.
Thank you. Great stuff.
And I just love how
she's just pure country
and nothing else.
It's making this decision
even harder for me.
I love her. She's
19. She k*lled it.
Grace West... she's
like country's next star.
She's so cool. I would buy that
record tomorrow. Yeah. Yeah.
♪ This is "The Voice" ♪
Welcome back.
Some of them surprised me today.
I think they've been so good.
I think people came to

Specifically. I mean,
just specifically.
You know who, specifically...
Specifically, Kala.
Surprised me? Yeah, she did.
She surprised me. But
what about my team?
I think NOIVAS k*lled it. Grace.
Do you regret letting
NOIVAS go off your team?
It was a play. I
gave him to you.
It was, like, "This guy
could win the show,
but he has to win
with Blake." Got it.
That's so kind. Yeah.
Let's do this.
Alright, let's do it.
Now it's the Dallas soul singer
and Chance's Playoff Pass
artist, Manasseh Samone.
Manasseh... I've
been keeping her in the tuck,
waiting for the opportunity to
win the whole thing with her.
Manasseh is my secret weapon.
Oh!
Manasseh,
my Playoff Pass winner...
I haven't seen her
in a couple of weeks.
I've been missing you.
I'mma be honest with you.
Aww. You know?
Vice versa. What do
you think about the song?
I am singing "Speak The Name,"
by Koryn Hawthorne.
She was a contestant
on "The Voice."
She's, like,
Grammy-nominated now,
and knowing that she's a
contemporary Christian artist
as well, it really
paves the way for me.
This song is definitely,
like, a signification of my life
through all of the dark times,
from not having
my father in my life,
and also, like, losing
my oldest brother.
I remember I would always,
you know, go to the church.
Amen. This the first time we
getting gospel on the show.
I'm so glad that it's
you bringing it to us.
♪ The atmosphere is changing ♪
This song relates to
me 'cause back home
I would worship at my church
and it would encourage
so many other people.
But they didn't know
behind closed doors
that I was dealing
with my own things.
My brother Ray had HIV/A*DS.
He stopped talking, and he
didn't even look like himself.
It's a tough story, but it
helped me be who I am today.

When she gets onstage,
you really feel the lyrics.
You feel her talent. You
feel connected to her.

what we need.

Please stay in that mode.
Like, be all the way vulnerable.
I hope if make it to the lives
that I could just win this
whole thing.
And it would be crazy
'cause I don't think
a gospel artist has ever won.
I got to take a
picture with you.
I'm just ready to smash it.

That is Manasseh Samone.
Let's get some
thoughts from Niall. Niall?
Oh, Manasseh, that was insane.
You know, I could
kind of little bit
sense the nerves
early in the song.
You were trying to
come out here and prove
why you got the
Playoff Pass. Mm-hmm.
By the end of that song,
you did exactly that.
Your stage performance was
better than I've ever seen it,
and it was so nice
to watch the passion
you really put in there.
You never, never
put a foot wrong, ever.
Thank you. Thank
you, Coach. Kelly?
I just love a passionate
performance.
You felt it. You
meant it. You believe it.
You look beautiful.
Thank you. It looks like a
finale moment right now,
what's happening onstage.
I don't know how
you're gonna choose.
Good luck. Thanks, Kelly.
Blake?
The shaky parts,
trying to get up to
the level of energy,
or even pitch in the first half,
and then once you
kind of cut loose,
you definitely put it
together there at the end.
I don't know what I'd
do if I was you, Chance.
You know what she's capable of.
So tough one for you, buddy.
Chance, what are you thinking, bud?
That was the best
performance. Thank you.
And there's people that are
watching at home right now,
their eyes are
welling up with tears
'cause you just
professed the name Jesus
in front of 10 million-plus
viewers at home.
So I think the fact that
you've been on the show
a season before and
didn't make it past blinds,
you came back and
got the Playoff Pass,
you're here performing a song
from a past "Voice" contestant
who went on to make it
huge as a gospel artist.
It feels very ordained,
and I thought it was
the coolest thing I've
seen so far. Oh, thank you.
How about another big
hand for Manasseh Samone?
Manasseh's
performance was insane.
She really bared herself
and beared witness.
But Kala, it was just such
a beautiful performance.
It showed off her
vocal strength.
And then we got Jamar.
He really came out of his shell.
I feel kinda bad for Blake,
him having to make a decision
with all these talented people.
Not... Not as tough as
the decision I have to make.
I'm gonna draw a
flame for you guys,
'cause my team is is fire.

Whoo!

Chance, we'll start with you.
Thought it was
a cool choice of song.
I think if I was in Blake's
position, I'd have a tough time
because Kylee shows
every week why she's here,
so I thought it was a
great performance overall.
Yeah. Kel?
You just have these incredible
runs that sound effortless,
which I love, it doesn't
sound put-on. Thank you.
I know I saw your face at
the end of the performance,
so I know you weren't,
like, 100% at the end,
you were a little bummed,
but even though you
missed, like, a couple things
that you feel like you
could have done better,
like, it was still a solid
performance. Thank you.
To come out
and do a big song like Miley,
you always, like, challenge
yourself with newer songs,
which I think is a bigger test,
sometimes, than the older ones
'cause they're very in
people's ears at the moment.
I've always been a huge fan,
and I would like to
see you make the lives.
I think you just always
bring something different.
Alright, Coaches.
Thanks for that. Blake?
I wanted to ask Kylee, like,
we all saw the look on
your face there at the end.
I don't know if it was nerves,
or do you just get choked up
for a second or...?
I think it's just, like,
this whole environment
is just really new for me.
I usually just sing in my
bedroom. Yeah, yeah.
That's probably all it was.
I just saw that moment
where you were like, "Oh,
I'm gonna punch myself
in the face right now."
So don't beat
yourself up too much.
I thought you did a
great job. Thank you.
Give it up one more
time for Kylee Dayne.
I can tell that Kylee
really poured everything she had
into that performance,
and I could also see that
she was beating herself up
at the end.

That is Ray Uriel. Whoo!
Oh, my gosh.
Whoo!
I love the arrangement!
That is so cool!
It's so good. Y'all
worked on that?
Your voice is like the angel
I would want to sing to me.
You have such a
beautiful tone. Thank you.
Like, it's so broken, but it's
just so sweet and smooth.
Thank you so much.
I don't know how
you're gonna choose.
Your team is really good.
Yeah.
Good luck with that.
Blake.
Ray, I want you to
make it as an artist
and then you turn back the sound
that's on popular radio
right now back to that,
'cause I think I mentioned
to you in the knockouts
that there's something very '90s
about how you sound. Yeah, yeah.
You gotta put this guy through.
Yeah. Are you going to?
Oh, I don't know, you got...
You got to think about it, okay.
Niall.
Oh, Ray, man, I could
just watch you every week.
You're unbelievable. It
just feels like the real deal.
I've got goosebumps
as I'm saying it right now.
Does it not, like, feel like
you're watching an award show?
Thank you.
Your tone is just so good.
Kinda like Frank Ocean,
it's just, like... just pure.
It's like if Frank Ocean and
Miguel had a musical baby.
Yeah.
Chancey Boy, send him
through, brother, come on.
I'm so proud of
this performance.
The growth that I've seen
through the competition
is astronomical.
Watching you come
out of your shell,
get more comfortable
on this stage.
You just walk around
with this effortless cool.
That's awesome.
When you make the songs
sound like how you want them to be,
it's incredible, and
everybody's arrested in it,
and so kudos to you, man.
Thank you. Amazing performance.
How about another
big hand for Ray Uriel?
With Ray, every week,
he's just getting better
and better and better
and also showing
new sides of himself.
He's one of those
people that I could see
winning the whole thing.
That was so cool. He's so good.
I'm telling you! My
team is stacked!
Every time somebody goes
up, I don't know what to do
'cause everybody's too good.
In building this team,
I'm looking for somebody
that stands out because it's
not just about me anymore,
it's about America and who
they're gonna want to see win.
So I just really
want individuality
and a confidence in self.
God, it's so beautiful. You
could listen to that forever.
Team Chance has stepped
it up big time in the playoffs.
The vocal performances
have been unbelievable so far.
They've taken it to a new level.
We got two more.
Is that what's going on here?
Oh, no, two more, and
then we make the decision.
What does kudos
mean? Is it like, "congrats,"
or, like, you did... Kudos,
like "congratulations."
Yeah. "Good on you," like...
Good on you. You
did something good.
Yeah. Kudos.
I thought there was a snack...
There was a snack that came
out in the '90s called "Kudos."
Kudos bar. Oh, yeah, Kudos bar.
I remember those. Yeah.
♪ This is "The Voice" ♪
Welcome back to the playoffs.
Is it hot in here?
The leather. It's leather.
It's not hot at all.
Got to sit up
straight like a lady.
Now it's time for the
singer-songwriter from Virginia
who Blake sent
straight to this round
using his one and
only Playoff Pass.
Here's more from
Mary Kate Connor.
Come in here, little
buddy. - Hey, big buddy.
How you doing?
Good. I'm excited.
Good to see you.
Good to see you.
It's been forever.
My... My Playoff Pass.
That's still
crazy every time you say it.
I think... Oh, it works.
Oh!
Mary Kate has
stepped into this competition
with a lot of confidence
and knowing exactly
what she wants to do,
and she's fearless about
it. Somebody that focused,
I wanted to get her
right into the playoffs.
Mary Kate is my
fearless young talent
that I have on Team Blake.
Alright, so talk
to me about this.
Oh, my gosh, I'm so
excited about this song.
"If I Die Young,"
The Band Perry.
I feel like I haven't yet been
able to, like, find moments
that I can be theatrical
'cause I used to, like...
My dream was to be on Broadway.
♪ If I die young ♪
I've done theater since I was 9,
and so I'm excited to
sing this song with drama
and use my theater background
to really, like, hone
in on the performance.
My goal is to make
people cry with this song.
♪ The sharp knife
of a short life ♪
The stakes are
so high this round
because I am the Playoff
Pass on Blake's last team
and I just really want
to make him proud
so that he doesn't
regret pushing me this far
into the competition.
♪ Just enough time ♪
The thing I love
about this song for you
is that you can hear
all the little tiny details
and things that you do.
Maybe too much time in
your head voice. Absolutely.
When you get to the chorus,
you kind of want this
natural build, and it just...
I don't know, it just
never really takes off.
As much as you can
give me in those courses.
Yeah. Sounds so good.
I had so much fun with Blake.
He's still a celebrity,
but he feels more to me
like a normal person.
I was thinking, I was like,
"I could go sit in your chair."
You wanna take it? My spot?
You want me to
just will it to you?
I'll be coach next. Okay.
Yeah, you can
put me in the will.
They have seat warmers
in them, too. No, they do not.
There's a switch underneath.
No massage chairs?
No, that's why I'm leaving.
Yeah.

That's what we like to see.
Alright, Coaches,
let's get some thoughts.
Kelly, what'd you think?
Oh, my gosh. You're
a magical storyteller.
I feel like you should
maybe get into acting as well.
Your strength really is
in that really intimate part.
It's almost like a
broken little secret
that you're, like, relaying,
and it's really, really cool.
Thank you. Niall?
This was different for you.
The tears at the end was... it
shows how much it meant to you.
But that performance
was just so sweet.
Thank you. The way you
told the story of that song,
even with your hands,
was really nice to watch.
I'm very proud
of you. Well done.
Thank you. Thank
you, Niall. Chance.
So there were a lot of moments
the pitch was a little bit off,
or, like, it got tripped up,
so this might be
confusing when I say this,
but that was my
favorite performance
from Team Blake today
'cause of how much emotion
you showed through it.
Thank you.
Especially the last, like,
soaring high note that you did,
it showed that you were
still, like, ready to risk it,
like, you were still
trusting your voice,
you're still
trusting in your gift.
That shows a lot of promise.
I think if you were to go to
the lives, you would k*ll it.
Thank you so much.
Yeah, straight up.
Thank you, Chance. Mary
Kate, let's talk to your coach.
Hi, Blake. Alright, Blake.
Hey, buddy.
What you did ultimately
was deliver the message
in a way that was believable
and authentic and real.
Great job. Yes.
How about another big
hand for Mary Kate Connor?
Mary Kate was my Playoff Pass,
and I think she proved that
she deserved that position.
This is the last time
I'm ever gonna be able
to make a decision
on this show again.
The show has just been my dream
since I was a little girl,
and if this is my last
performance ever,
I'm so thankful.
Oh, man. I'm a mess.
I gotta go make
another big, tall drink.
Wait, what are you
doing? You need a drink?
Don't do anything weird.
♪ This is "The Voice" ♪
Welcome back.
So... Your last season, huh?
Alright, no, seriously.
Listen up, guys. Okay.
Chance and I are carrying
the load here today.
I've been honest and helpful.
I don't think you've
been definitive, though.
I have been. What about you?
You haven't really
been that definitive, like...
I'm just here. France, you know?
You're a little bit like France.
Switzerland.
I'm so sad for y'all. Are
you freaking out right now?
Everybody on my team
could win the whole show.
But what I'm... So I don't think
I can make the wrong decision.
I know, but it doesn't mean... Well, that means
you're making absolutely the wrong decision.
You're sending three
winners home today.
Oh, yeah. But they win anyway.
That's something losers say.
They're on "The Voice," baby.
I think we should get out there.
Alright. Thank you, America.
This was helpful.
Now it's the sister
pop trio from Ohio.
Here is more now from Sorelle.
Sorelle is a really
important part of my team.
Like, they're only group
on the whole show.
They're incredibly
experienced to be so young.
They have the ability to make
the most beautiful harmonics
that you've ever heard.
Sorelle is my mini choir.
♪ Love you ♪
♪ I love you ♪
Sorelle has this really
incredible harmony thing going.
Everybody obviously
can tell they're family.
They've been singing
for a minute together.
Here we are. I know. Yeah.
In the big leagues.
Yeah, we love this song.
We, like, loved "Burlesque"
as kids. Oh, wow.
It was, like, one of our
favorite movies. Yeah.
So this song was, like, always
playing in the house. Yeah, always.
For the
playoffs, we'll be singing...
"Something's
Got A Hold On Me"...
by Etta James, Christina
Aguilera's version.
Christina Aguilera,
she holds a special
place in my heart.
When I was younger, I had
this very low, raspy voice.
No other girl sounded like me.
My sisters didn't sound like me.
No other girl in my
classroom sounded like me.
I felt... different.
I always feared that maybe
I would tie them down.
Seeing another woman
that sounds like me
really changed my life.
I think that she brings
something very, very important
to the group.
Her voice is personally
one of my favorite voices
I've ever heard. Oh, stop.
I think there's a
lot of solo parts.
Yeah. Yeah. And I think that
one of you guys' strong suits
is the ability to do harmonics.
Mm-hmm. I honestly
think in the first verse solo,
♪ I get a feeling that I ♪
♪ Never, never, never ♪
♪ Had before ♪
Ooh. Does that make sense?
♪ I get a feeling that I ♪

♪ Never had before, no, no ♪
Boom! That's fire.
That "Never, never, never"
sounds like The Supremes.
Woo-hoo!
♪ Let me tell you now,
my heart feels heavy ♪
It's truly amazing
having Chance as our coach.
He's taught us so much
already about stage presence,
about how to really incorporate
our harmonies to lift the song.
♪ Love's sure gonna
put a hurtin' on me ♪
I feel like that's
just set it off. Yeah.
We don't have to do
add too much more.
That's hot.
It's crazy how
many amazing artists
are in this
competition right now,
but we're hoping he
goes with us.
Let's get it. Let's go
to the playoffs, y'all.
Thank you.
Sorelle's advantage
is that they know themselves
so well that they really gel,
and if they can keep
that identity as a trio
and keep it uniform,
I think that they could
end up being in the top two.
Here they come. People are
choosing some great songs today, y'all.

How good is that?
My team is crazy.
Wow. Let's get some thoughts
from our coaches. Blake.
I mean, come on.
This is cheating.
It's too perfect.
I loved the individual
moments that you guys had.
It was like, "Oh,
you think we all three
can't do this separately, too?
Like, watch this." You know?
I mean, you're gonna put
them through, aren't you?
You putting those through?
Ah, we'll talk about it.
Thanks, Blake. Yeah.
Niall, give us some thoughts.
The energy off
you guys is insane.
Like, what did you
grow up listening to?
There's a lot of stuff.
A little bit of everything.
Yeah. We listened to this a lot.
Do you, like, ever listen
to, like, '40s music?
You know, when all those
can hear you sing, like,
"Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy,"
like, all that kind of stuff as well.
Yes. We love that.
We study that to study
our harmonies. Yeah.
That's why it's like
that. It's so tight.
You definitely study
'cause it's ridiculously tight.
It's phenomenal. And,
Chance, hell of an arrangement.
Whoever was involved
in that, yourself.
Oh, I think you'd be missing
a beat if you didn't have these
with you in the semifinals,
for sure. Thank you.
Thank you, Coach. Kelly?
What you're doing is so fresh.
It's just, like,
unlike anyone else.
I think that makes
you stand out.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
Alright, Sorelle,
let's talk to your coach.
I'm so proud.
Every time you guys get onstage,
it just blows everybody away.
And you guys have just been
so receptive to all the notes.
And so y'all k*lled
it. Thank you.
Thank you. How about
another big hand for Sorelle,
ladies and gentlemen?
Sorelle was amazing.
Smashed.
They're one of
my favorite things
about working on this
show because I love
playing with harmonics.
They really went
for it on this one.
That did not make it easier.
That was crazy. Yeah.
Their performance
was phenomenal today.
If Team Niall don't
win, Sorelle deserves it.
What are you gonna
do? I have no idea.
I'm about to make the
toughest decision of the season.
Maybe toughest decision
of my life. I don't know.
Coming up...
It's time to find out
who will move on
to the semifinals.
Why is it so hard for me?
Freaking out about this.
I would have quit
a season before
had I known that's
how bad this sucks.
♪ This is "The Voice" ♪
Welcome back to the playoffs.
10 seconds out.
I can't really even see myself
getting rid of any
of these people.
That's what's hard.
Here we go. Your last one.
It's the last brain
cell you have to use
ever in your life.
Yeah! Here we go!
It is time to find out who
will move on to the semifinals.
We're starting tonight
with Team Blake.
Please welcome them
center stage. Team Blake!
Congratulations to all of you
on an incredible
playoff performance.
Blake, are you ready?
No, I'm nervous.
Only two can represent
you in the Top 8 live show.
Before we get your decision,
what would you like
to say to your team?
Uh... for my journey to go out
with five absolutely
amazing vocalists,
and... and by the way,
really great people,
it's literally storybook stuff
for me to go out
with a group like this.
I just can't thank you
enough for all your hard work.
And I'm sorry about
this for three of ya.
I would have quit
a season before
had I known that's
how bad this sucks.
But it is what it is, so...
Alright, Blake, who is
the first artist moving on?
So the first artist
advancing is...
NOIVAS.
NOIVAS moving on
to the live semifinals!
NOIVAS, I mean, he just
does these huge performances
that he sings with
everything he has in his body.
Good job, buddy.
There's no way to
deny this guy's talent.
Alright, here we go.
There are four artists left.
Blake, who is your
final artist moving on?
The second artist
advancing to the lives...
Grace.
Grace, congratulations!
I mean, I had
to pick Grace West.
She is the real deal.
She is pure country.
My dream was, since
this is my last season,
that I could go into the
lives with a country artist,
and she is absolutely
the perfect country artist
to have for this moment.
Thank you. You deserve it, kid.
Grace! Congratulations.
I'm sorry, you guys. It's okay.
This has been the toughest
thing they've ever asked me to do.
We're going into the lives now,
and I think the winner
is on Team Blake.
Two semifinalists are locked.
And now, another tough choice.
Please welcome Team Chance!
Only two can
represent Team Chance
in the Top 8 live show.
Before we get to that
big decision, Chance,
what would you first
like to say to your team?
I'm incredibly proud
of all of you guys.
You guys are just
awesome individuals.
You guys have
true love for music,
which we see every week
when you guys come up here.
Everybody, top to bottom,
should be winning this show.
Well said, Coach,
and congratulations
on a great season so far.
Chance, who's the first
artist that is moving on?
The first artist advancing...
is Sorelle.
Sorelle! The pop trio.
Congratulations!
There's no other
Sorelle on this show.
They needed to be in the Top 8
where I get to do arrangements
and vocal splits and work with
them, like, almost like a choir.
Amazing. Y'all are amazing.
We just have a great connection,
and then they have
a great connection.
Alright, Chance, this is it.
Four of your artists are left.
Who is the last
artist moving on?
Wow. Why is this so hard for me?
It is really hard for him.
He's been stressed
about it all day.
Literally. Freaking
out about this.
All you guys are
individually amazing, man.
Uh...
the second artist
advancing to lives...
Ray!
Ray is an amazing artist.
I think he has potential
not just as a vocalist,
but as a writer.
And I'm always just
looking for uniqueness.
I think that what he brings
to the show is himself.
We are Team Chance.
We are Team Chance.
It's just us now.
It's just us now, so...
Crazy. This is crazy.
Oh, man. That's
hard. That was tough.
I'm beyond excited
going into live shows.
And yeah, we're
in it for the gold.
We're trying to
take it all the way.
That's horrible. Blake: It's ruthless.
I am so not looking
forward to next week.
Now I'm just gonna go
out like a... like a rebel.
