19x06 - The Battles Premiere

[bunniefuu]

Daly: Our coaches
have formed their teams.

Now it's time to lead
them into battle...

Whoo! ...with some of the
biggest names in music.

Yes! Here we are! Advising Team Legend,
John brought in his friend

and fellow R&B artist Miguel.

For Team Blake,
one of contemporary country's

breakout stars, Kane Brown.

Helping Team Kelly,

Grammy Award-winning
soul singer Leon Bridges.

And advising Team Gwen,
her friend and collaborator

prolific songwriter
Julia Michaels.

Here we are... Season 19.

There she is. What?!

The boys are here.

We are going to
the battles right now.

Let's go check out
the stage. Yeah.

Gwen: Season 19,
everything is different, obviously,

but it's making it more
special to be here.

Whoa! Kelly: I like it.

Kelly: This is a really cool thing,
that we have

two stages for battles.

They're able to have their
own little island that's just theirs

and really fight for the chance
to proceed to the next round.

Wow. How many feet is it?

Six feet. [ Laughs ]

Blake: The show
looks a little different,

but the music and
the talent's still there.

Alright, y'all,
we've seen the stage. Let's go get ready.

Let's do it. Gwen: What about
the save and four-way knockout?

Because I didn't
do that last time.

Steals take priority.

If you do save them,

you're sending them
to a four-way knockout

where the audience
decides who gets to advance.

John, while you're going
over those rules... John: Yes.

...could you clarify for Kelly

where the out-of-bounds
area is and where...

The steps. There are stairs.
I got it confused last season.

I thought it was the
opposite of what it was.

So when they hit
the floor off the stairs,

that's the time I can
save them. That's right.

Let's do the battles, y'all!

Let's go! Whoo!

I can't believe it,
that Kane Brown is here.

My mentor. Can't believe
I'm here with Blake, man.

Like, literally, besides me,

you're the hottest
thing in country music.

My adviser this
season is Kane Brown.

What'd you get,
Sexiest Man of the Year

or something like
that? [ Laughs ]

He's become a
superstar in country music

in this new era of people
being found on social media.

* I don't think you know
what you're doing to me*

* You got my heart
skip-skipping a beat *

Blake: It's really awesome to
have a country adviser this season,

especially since my
team is mostly country.

I love "The Voice,"
so it's just amazing to be here,

especially with you, so...

Yeah,
if you'd have been Kelly's mentor,

I'd have never
forgiven you for that.

My dream that nobody knows of

was always to try
out for "The Voice"

and sing "Ol' Red" and
be on Blake Shelton's team.

I'm just so grateful to be here.

Oh, I love the studio look,
though. Yeah.

Blake: We've done
everything we can do to ensure

everybody's safety
on the set this season.

We've changed
a lot of things up,

and we're really
feeling good about it.

We're so thankful

that we're gonna be
able to film this thing.

- How you feeling?
- I'm excited. You guys ready?

I'm super excited. Who
do you think it's gonna be?

Oh, I don't know. We'll see.

Bring it... Air hugs.

This is actually a pair.

It's a rare trio.

It's a group called
Worth the Wait,

and they've got
the family harmony

that's just got that magic
that's unexplainable.

[ Women scream ]

We have a really large family.

There's seven of us altogether.

Mama T: We're very musical.

So, coming to the blind audition,
it was crazy.

* When will I be loved? *

Did you see that I was
on the country chart?

[ Laughter ]

I love the harmonies.
It's my favorite thing to do.

I have one spot left. I've
been sitting here, waiting.

It's been worth the wait,
right? Yeah. [ Laughs ]
