carson: One minute, he's

Completely off this television
show.
And pharrell brings him back.

That is comeback artist daniel
passino.
Fighting to stay in the top 12.

Great job.
Welcome back to the show.
No pressure there, adam.

What did you think?
i'm so impressed with you,
daniel.

We always have been, but -- it's
just incredible how much people,
i said this yesterday, i hate to

Sound like a broken record, man,
there's -- the game time
performances that happen now on

The lives are so -- incredible.
They always impress me and
always surprise me.

That was amazing, man.
I'm super, super into what you
do.

You're fantastic.
carson: Blake?
great job, buddy.

The other thing about the show,
not to brag on "the voice."
but "the voice" is badass.

The talent level is so good that
that guy is a comeback artist.
I mean, that's how good the

Talent is this year, man.
And you just -- you just put
yourself right back in the mix

Again, man.
I mean, it's going to be tough
for somebody on pharrell's team

To outdo that.
daniel, that was beautiful.
Such a hard song to sing, too,

Because first of all, it's
bruno.
And he has an incredible voice,

Incredible range.
You're so naked and vulnerable
with that particular choice.

And i loved your tenderness.
Especially at the end, when we
think, oh, my gosh, he's so

Tired.
You still brought it home so
earned thely.

Right on point.
carson: Pharrell?
wow.

Dude.
I'm so proud of you, man.
Like that was like -- the

Energy.
And the passion.
Of being back in the building

And on this show, like everybody
could see it.
That was amazing.

I'm superhappy for you.
You just wrote your future.
Everybody say this with me.

Damn, daniel.
all: Damn, daniel.
carson: If you want daniel in

The top 12, vote on nbc.Com.
And download his song on itunes.
Give it up for daniel passino.

Great job.

symon.
welcome back to night two of

The live playoffs.
We're going to continue now with
a timeless performance by team

Pharrell's 17-year-old
singer/songwriter from ohio.
Here's more from emily keener.

well, hello.
this journey has meant the
world to me.

I'm learning so much.
It makes me feel confident.
it's so cool to see you

Playing for the first time.
i'm excited to be.
I saw you on the "today" show.

you have emily keener on your
team.
She's so young and talented.

she's something else.
Every once in awhile, you see
someone who is 17.

The voice is so, has a depth to
it.
pharrell is talking about me

While i'm at home eating my
breakfast.
Something about this era of

Music speaks to me.
The connection between the
artist and audience is

Extraordinary.
that could have happened in
the '70s.

There was a moment you stopped
playing to concentrate on
singing.

Emily kieeener is an old soul.
She could be part of the future
of music.

Your growth is not about
technique.
Your growth is about revealing

What you have.
yes.
i want people to know what

You can do.
But i know the special artist
that you are.

anything to be recognized as

Great.
And pharrell did a great job
with you.

I think you're perfect for his
team.
Um, yeah.

And i love how pharrell said,
beyond your earthly years.
That's just what you are.

You are from a different time
period.
It's refreshing to find that at

Your age.

These 17-year-old anomalies,
it's unbelievable.
I'm so lucky to have one on my

Team right now.
Like, your -- your voice, and
what you do with it and the way

You time travel and take people,
i mean, we were in a '70s coffee
shop in downtown new york on the

San francisco.
That's the place you just took
us to.

I have to just say, you're
unbelievable.
I'm so happy that you're on my

It was a cool thing to see from
you.
To play the guitar the way you

Were and embellish on the

The room lights up.
I'm just happy that laith, you

Got to light it up in a

Think that's cool for this show,

It's great for you, because you
just are the person that just
did what you did.

Um, and i'm really happy that
you represent something that
sometimes does kind of go --

Unappreciated.
Not in a bad way.
Just like, you really, you --

demonstrated that you were never

Meant to go home.
So, yes, please applaud.
[ cheers and applause ]

christina said, which was, you

Know, holding that note for so
long.
And then, like the crazy, like,

Rock faces that you make while
you're doing it.
It's really awesome.

You let go.
You're like a '90s baby that
behaves like an '80s baby.

It's insane how you sing that
song so well.
Congratulations.

You're meant to be here.
Everyone vote for lacy.

Coming up next, the heart felt
performance by team adam's owen
danoff.

Shalyah fearing is on the way.
and we're back with a live
playoff tonight.

Three artists will continue the
advance next week.
Two be will based on the votes.

And the third by the coach.
New york's folk rocker.
Here's more from owen danoff.

i am so excited to be here.
I'm so happy i made it this far.
I feel really good about

Performing again on the stage.
And live on tv, which is so
cool.

how are you feeling as far as
confidence?
i feel like something kicked

After knockouts.
someone like you can show
everybody it's about the

Subtleties and the nuance of an
emotional singer that has a
great voice.

i went to college for film
scoring.
I never considered myself a

Singer.
Adam has pushed me to grow so
much.

It's changed how i feel about
myself.
♪i don't want to be your hero ♪

Up until now, i have only been
doing older music.
I think this song allows me to

Introduce a little bit more of
myself to everybody.
Because it's contemporary.

And it's a song about not being
afraid to be yourself.
This relates to me because i'm

Like, a shy person.
I don't want people to think of
me in only one way.

I think i'm not done telling my
story.
you're an artist.

You have layers to what you do.
It's beautiful to listen to.
Find a way that ends with a

Soar.
yeah, yeah.
but otherwise, man, you're

Good.
In owen, recently, i've seen a
tremendous shift in his

Confidence.
Seems like he's discovering
himself more now.

Showing me he's here to play.
Sometimes people blossom at the
right time.

I'm so proud of you.
It seems like you turned a
corner.

thanks, man.

carson: Nowhere to hide
tonight.

As these performances are
stripped down so you can voe kus
on the voice.

And that is owen danoff.
Mr. Blake shelton.
hey, owen.

You know what you just did which
was incredible?
If i would have walked into a

Theater or arena, wherefver you
may have been performing.
If i hadn't seen the b roll and

Know that it's a cover, you made
that seem like it was your song.
There's no reason for somebody

To hear you perform that and not
believe you didn't write it.
It's rare to connect with a

Cover like that.
Great job.
thank you so much.

carson: Pharrell?
man, i'm just writing notes.
So much to say.

Um, but, your unique tone
singing over something that
feels folk like that, just feels

Like a magical moment.
And i'm not exaggerating.
I'm saying that because i feel

Like most people would have to
oversing that song to achieve
what you did so simply just

Because you have a unique tone.
That's amazing, bro.
thank you.

carson: Adam?
everybody has a very
different opinion i think of

What a great singer is.
And what defines a great singer.
My opinion, which is only my

Opinion, i think it's kind of
referring to what blake said.
When you feel as though the song

That's being sung is their own.
When someone can make a song
feel like it's theirs.

Um, to me, that's the only real
mark of a great singer.
Because you kind of forget about

Everything and say, wow, this
person is speaking to me through
this song.

And owen, i believer there isn't
anyone on the show that's as
good at that has you.

carson: You can vote on
nbc.Com.
Give it up for owen danoff.

Thank you, owen.

some of the runs you were doing

level.

Were fantastic.

people really get it.

And break through.
And it all happens at different
times in the competition.

You have been steadily very
great.
Everyone has loved you the whole

Time.
I still think this is kind of
the precursor to something after

The fact.

it every time.
You have the confidence, an air

About you.
It's refreshing.
The good news for you, man.

It was a great job.
You will never in your life ever
have to sing a harder song than

That ever again.
That is like, i don't understand
how anyone can sing that song.

Like christina said, a male
singer.
Excellent job.

Having their support means more

Than anything.

feel like they felt that way.

Guess who just read your book?
hannah is the kindest person
i have ever met.

feeling that people walk away
with when they hear her sing it.

carson: That is hannah

Huston, everybody.
Hard the believe she's only been
singing for a few years

Publicly.
That will close out the
performances tonight.

Hannah, great job.
Let's start with blake shelton.
me?

Oh.
Probably should have asked
christina.

This is her area.
I will say, watching you
perform, there's something that

You exude.
It's like a combination of
frustration and desperation when

You're singing.
It's like -- you just got all of
this inside of you and you're

Trying to get it out, you know.
And you do.
And it's easy to get caught up

In your performances.
You do it time and time again.
In is another good one, hannah.

carson: Thank you, coach.
Pharrell, 30 seconds.
first of all, amazing job.

And your students are correct.
Like, you are supercolorf ful wn
you sing.

When you're hitting those notes
and going up and down and all
around the room like that, it's

Amazing the way you steal all of
our hearts.
