John: Alright, guys,
it's the last day of battles.

Kelly: Let's do it.
Anybody got a steal left?

Blake.
Yeah.

So the interesting thing
you haven't seen yet

is when Blake steals,

he usually goes for
the drama.

Oh.
His strategy is
put them through

as much emotional pain
as possible.

Yes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then rescue them.

Then you can re-mold them into
the artist you want them to be.
Says a lot.

Re-mold them.
You beat 'em down
and then build them back up

how you want 'em.
It's like a Bobby Knight
approach.

Yes. Speaking of that,

let's go beat some people down
right now.
Alright.

Oh, my gosh.
Let's go.

They'll be in therapy
for the next

30 years
unpacking this moment.

Woman:
KCK3, you are battling

Ryleigh Plank.

Yay!
Oh, my gosh!

That's gonna be so fun!
[ Laughter ]

The song Ariana
picked for you is...

"Come On Over Baby"
by Christina Aguilera.
[ Gasps ]

Oh, my gosh!
Oh! [ Laughs ]

Yes!

Yes.
* We're gonna kill it *

[ Laughs ]

**

You're a great teacher.

Everything you say
is the gold of my heart.

Well, thank you.
[ Chuckling ] Yeah.

I love you.
I love you so much.

I love you more.

So, the next performer
is Ryleigh.

She's amazing.
I'm so excited.

Ryleigh auditioned with "Anyone"
by Demi Lovato.

I saw, and I cried
like you did.
So good.

I loved that performance.

* ...me anyone *

* Lord, is there anyone *

[ Cheers and applause ]

You are so cute!

Hi!

You brought me to tears.

And I really think
that you could win this thing.

[ Cheers and applause ]
Hearing that from somebody

that is the voice of
this generation,

it's an amazing realization
of how far I've come.

I have struggled
with my mental health,

but my mom has been my rock

whenever I'm struggling with
those moments.

Here's my mom.

She was a flutist in college.

Love my girl.
So being somebody
that is a musician,

she has been just out of
this world supportive of me.

She is willing to help me figure
out a riff, figure out a chord,

and she is incredible
as a person and as a musician,

and I just --
I want the world to know that.

[ Chuckles ]

**

Ariana: The other brilliant
performers -- KCK3.

Yes. Yes.
Yes. Yes.

They're incredible.
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
Yes, yes.

And KCK3 actually auditioned
with "No Tears Left to Cry."

I know.
It was so cool.

I just thought
this is such a tribute to you,

and they're making it
their own.

Yeah, which is amazing.
It was.

* Ain't got no tears
left to cry *

It is crazy to be here
on "The Voice."

Oh, my God!

Chelsea: I work as
a pharmacy tech at a hospital,

and Kaitlynn --
In school.

In school.

I was working at a shoe store,

so it's definitely an upgrade
from what we're doing.

You are the last of my slots
on my team.
Blake: Oh!

Kyla: Doing music together
is something that we want

to make a career out of.
Oh!

So we're so grateful
that Ariana is our coach,

and we're so excited to,

like, jump in
and work with her.
Oh, my God.

This is gonna be
a great pairing, I can tell.

I think so, too.

Whoo-hoo!
Hi!

Yay!
[ Laughter ]

Hello!

Oh, my gosh.
Seeing Kristin Chenoweth

was mind-blowing.

Growing up as a theater kid,
she is, like, an icon,

and the fact that
I get to get feedback

from somebody on her level
is such an honor.

I was just watching you
on TikTok a couple of days ago.

Was I doing something
inappropriate?

You were going into
the 7-Eleven.

Oh, I love my Slurpees.
Yes.

I love the video.
I think I know it by heart.

I know you do.
It's like...

[As Kristin Chenoweth]
"It's National Slurpee Day."

Yes!
[ Laughter ]

I'm very excited.
It's my favorite

day of the year.

That was dead on.
[ Normal voice ] Okay.

No, it's dead on.
Okay.

So, how are you guys feeling?
Hi.

Good, good.
I feel great.
I am so happy about this song.

Yeah, I wanted to give you
something with a little bit

more energy this time,

and I also knew
in my heart and soul

that y'all would nail this,
as well.

Chelsea actually sung this
in show choir,

and us being
the younger siblings,

we would always go to
their shows.

So we already knew it.

This song
is so much fun to sing.

It's so upbeat
and just so much energy,

so you can't help dancing.

I think the best dancer
out of us --
I can't dance well.

It's between me and you.

Chelsea:
We do like to make TikToks.

I would say Kaitlynn
makes the most.
Yeah.

It definitely helps us
to bring in the energy onstage

and just go out there
and perform with each other.
Mm.

Feel free to make
any weird sound

so that your voice
is good and comfy.

I love a good
[lip trills]

Let's do it. 5, 6, 7, 8.
Yeah, so...

[ All lip trilling ]

[ "Come on Over Baby" plays ]

* Come on over,
come on over, baby *

I picked this song because
it's perfect for their voices.

I think that, "A,"
I would love to see...
* Now, baby, don't be shy *

...Ryleigh tackle
a big pop bop.
* You better cross the line *

And for KCK3,
I think this is perfect...
* I'm gonna love you right *

...because, of course,
all the three-part harmony.
* 'Cause all I want is you *

* Come on over *

* Come on over, baby *

Kristin: KCK3...
* Come on over *

...I was incredibly impressed.
* Come on over, baby *

They listen to each other
perfectly.
* Uhhhh uh *

* But I can't help myself *

* When you put your hands
on me *
Ryleigh has no limits,

and I love the acting.
* Ohhhh *

She has the whole package,
plus she's unique.

* All I want is you *

Ooh!
[ Applause ]

Yes!

[ Sighs ]
* I am obsessed *

* With you all *
[ Laughter ]

Amazing.
Thank you.

I almost screamed, like,
harmfully loud.

Like,
I almost left my body.

There's amazingness
happening everywhere

and a couple of things
to talk about.
Mm-hmm.

I would love to even out
the energies

of the performance
a little bit.

I love these moments
you're finding

and all the fun
that you're having with it.

I want more of that
from you individually, as well,

'cause the harmonies
are so good.

But I don't want it
to feel background singer-y,

and I-I want you
to step out more.

* Pretend you won't *

* Keep me guessing
with ya *

Okay, yeah, yeah...
* You will, or you won't *

I love it.
* Don't wanna play that game
with you, baby *

I love --
I love you up there.

Don't give us less.
Give us more.
Yeah, I got you.

And, "B,"
don't be afraid of that.

Ariana: I just really want Kyla
to believe in herself

and find those moments
and take them,

because she should have them.

In your verse,
it's like a little moment

where you jump up to
the high ad lib and you --

[ Vocalizes ]
Yes.

Yeah.
And it shouldn't
just be like,

"Here's my big note."
Mm-hmm.

It should feel emotional.
Mm.

I love Ryleigh's voice.

It's big.
It is diva.

But something that I'm really
excited for her to realize

is that she's not
auditioning anymore.

She doesn't always
have to be at a 10.

It's a balance between

storytelling
and big diva moments.

Can I give you a thought on --
on exactly what she's saying?

Ad libs come from what?

Intention.
Intention and acting.

So what's
the very first lyric?
Her verse? "Hey, boy."

Yeah.
"Don't you know."

I-I present this to you
as a thought.

You have a secret.

That's really smart
to think about

the intention
behind the lyric.

I'm just saying,
go with it from that viewpoint.

Let's see what happens.

* Hey, boy, don't you know *

* I've got something
going on *

Kyla:
The fact that Ariana and Kristin

were able to give us pointers
so quickly definitely helped.

I could imagine it
being about a guy,

and I'm singing, like,
with the sass.

But they
definitely pushed us,

and it was really helpful.
* All I *

* All I want is you *

* Ohhh, ohh, baby *
Whoo!

* All I want is you *

* You know you make me
go crazy *

Yes!
Whoo!
* All I want is you *

I buy it!
Oh, my God!

What are we gonna do here?
I don't know.

What's happening?
You mean
what are yougonna do?

What am I -- Yeah.
I'm just a guest.

Guys, I quit.
I can't do it.
[ Laughter ]

This is the genius
that is Ariana.

When Ariana said,
"Hey, you three, come forward.

You -- step back a little bit,"

and then we saw the balance.

That's the genius
of the coach.

Thank you for inspiring.

Thank you guys
for inspiring us.

It's so crazy that,
just a few months ago,

I was working at a roller rink
and I was making pizzas,

and now I'm here hanging out
with Ariana Grande.

So moving on
to the knockouts,

it would be just
a dream come true, honestly.

Get out!

Amazing.
[ Laughter ]

Thank y'all.
Thank you.

* Ooh! Ooh, ooh! *

That's your exit music.

* Ooh, ooh *
Bye.

* Ooh, ooh *
Do the pageant wave!

* Ooh, ooh *

* Ooh, ooh *
Ariana: Why does everyone
have to be so amazing?

This is the worst part
of this job.

I think you might be
a genius.

Youare a genius.
They are genius.

But that was musicality
at its best.

Kristin:
Team Ariana is a force.

I don't think
she can be beat.

[ Chuckling ] I love you.
I just want to say

to Blake Shelton,

good luck.

**

[ Cheers and applause ]

Let's go, girls!

Love you!

Facing off now
from Team Ariana,

it's the sister trio
from Mississippi,

KCK3...
[ Cheers and applause ]

[ John chanting "KCK3!" ]

[ Chanting continues ]
Whoo!

...versus the 20-year-old
from Florida,

Ryleigh Plank!

[ Cheers and applause ]

Yay!
Yay! Okay, Ryleigh!

**

* This is "The Voice" *
Daly: Welcome back
to the battle rounds.

The battle starts now.

[ Cheers and applause ]

**

* Come on over *

* Come on over, baby *

* Come on over,
come on over, baby *

* Hey, boy,
don't you know *

* I've got something
going on *

* Oh *

* I got an invitation,
don't you keep me waiting *

* All night long *

* Hmmmmm *

* I know, you know *

* So, baby, don't *

* Pretend you won't *

* Keep me guessing
with ya *

* You will, or you won't *
Hey!

* Don't wanna play that game
with you, baby *

* So listen to me *

* All I want is you *

* Come over here, baby *

Whoo!
* All I want is you *

* You know you make me
go crazy *

* All I want is you *

* Now, baby, don't be shy *

* You better
cross the line *

* I'm gonna love you right *

* 'Cause all I want is you *

Alright!
* Come on over *

* Come on over, baby *
* Ohh *

* Come on over *

* Come on over, baby *
Yeah!

* I'm not just talking about
your sexuality *

* Uhhhh uh *

* But I can't help myself *

* When you put your hands
on me *

* Ohhhh *

* Yeah, yeah *
* Ooh *

* Ohh *

* Yeah *
* Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah *

* You give me *
* What a girl feels *

* What a girl likes,
what a girl needs *

* What a girl wants *

What the hell?!
* All I *

* All I want is you *

* Ohhh, whoa-oh,
whoa, baby *

* All I want is you *

* Oh, you make me
go crazy, ooh *

* All I want is you *

Kaitlynn:
* Now, baby, don't be shy *

* You better cross the line *

* I'm gonna love you right
'cause all I want is yoooou *

Whoo!

* All I want is you *

* You know you make me
go crazy *

* All I want is you *

* Now, baby, don't be shy *

* You better cross the line *

* I'm gonna love you right
'cause all I want is you *

[ Cheers and applause ]

Alright!

Whoo!

John: Oh, my goodness!

Well, wasn't that fun?

KCK3, I love you all
singing together.

It's so fun to see a family
having so much fun together.

Ryleigh, you are
like a revelation.

Your physical energy
was so captivating.

Your body is like elastic --
the way it moves is like...

So intriguing
to watch you perform

and have so much joy
exuding from you and --

And still able to hit
all those notes.

Yeah. Yeah.
Thank you!

Thank you.

First of all,
just congratulations.

I saw the song selection,
I was like,

"Well, she thinks
a lot of y'all,"

'cause that's a big song.
I do.

And you did so great.

I love the harmonies
from the sisters, KCK3.

That was so cool.
I loved...
Thank you.

...that you each had
your moment, as well.

You all have
very different textures,

but I think that's
why your blend is so beautiful.

And then Ryleigh --
I was like, "What?!"

Like, that little body
just produced that?

[ Laughing ] I was like, "What?"
I was like --

And you're --
And you're moving so much,

and you're just
so into it.

It's so interesting
knowing nothing about you

and me thinking, like,
"Oh, my God.

She is, like, so powerful.
She's so confident."

[ Cheers and applause ]
And then, you know,

your background,
like, saying, like,

you suffer from depression,
like, stuff like that,

like, it's so interesting
'cause I --

literally, you are
a light on that stage.

Great job.
Thank you.

Thank you so much.
Yeah. Yeah.

Blake: KCK3,
when you guys sing together,

it's an incredible sound --
it's just got incredible pitch.

I think the contrast here for me
is Ryleigh attacks this moment,

you know,
and it's in her body language,

it's in the way she performs,
and she just owns the moment.

Thank you.
Daly: Thank you, coaches.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Ari, tough decision here,

but give us some thoughts
on the battle first.

I am so endlessly proud
of all of you

because I feel like there
were some energy imbalances

in the beginning
and we worked through it

in such a way where everybody
truly was able to shine,

and, KCK3,
you each had your solo moments

and owned them so stunningly
and came out of your shells.

Ryleigh,
I'm so proud of you

for picking and choosing
your moments so beautifully.

So I thank you
for your hard, hard work

'cause today was perfect.

Thank you.

Thank you.
Thank you.

Ariana,
not an easy decision here.

Who is the winner
of this battle?

[ Sighs ]

[ Dramatic music plays ]

The winner of this battle

is Ryleigh.

Ryleigh Plank
moving on to the knockouts

for Team Ariana!
Thank you. Thank you.

Congratulations!

Good job.
I love you guys.

I think Ryleigh
is just an angel

and a vocal goddess.

[ Speaking indistinctly ]

She could absolutely go
all the way.

I don't think there's a thing
that that girl can't sing.

Love you.
John: Great job.

Ryleigh: I am so happy.

My heart is going to explode.
[ Laughs ]

Give it up for KCK3!

[ Cheers and applause ]
Great job.

Ariana:
I am so proud of KCK3.

Their growth
has been incredible.

Weren't they great?
I love Ryleigh.

Yeah.
She's so cool.

Yeah, I do, too.
* Come over here, baby *

She kind of performs
like Annie Lennox.

Yeah.

Lot of gyrating.

Daly: Still to come...
Whoo!

* Cry if I want to *

...it's the last night
of the battles.

This is tricky.
Tricky.

With only one steal left...

That is a steal!

Yay!
Yes!

In the chorus,
"Here and now,"

like, with your hands --

like, really act out
those words.

* Here and now *

* Oh *

Ah!
Daly: ...the artists push
themselves to the limit...

* I vow to be one with thee *

Yeah!
Daly: ...leading to
heartbreaking decisions.

You're both
world-class singers.

Kelly:
Everybody deserves to move on.

That's really difficult.

You want my advice?
Quit.

[ Laughter ]

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly:
Welcome back to "The Voice."

Kelly:
What's interesting is

these people just met
and they have to do a duet,

and that's
what's interesting

about working with
younger people in here

is they're
so young sometimes,

they don't even know
that they're being bold.

I feel like
they also don't know,

like, what they have
in there either yet.

Yeah.
Like, there's a lot in there
that they'll probably

figure out
during this process.

So it's --
it's just cool to see that.

[ Both vocalizing ]
Speaking of young and gifted,

the next group up is
The Cunningham Sisters

and Parker.

You ready?
I just feel like
I'm on a roller coaster.

I gave them a Lesley Gore song,
"It's My Party."

You can hate it or love it,
but it's happening.

I'll let you know.
I'll let you know.
[ Laughs ]

Come on down, y'all!

What's up, ladies?
Meet Jason Aldean!

Hello, guys. How are you?
Oh, my God!

Whoo!
Nashville party!
How are you?

Our adviser was Jason Aldean.
Yeah.

Oh, my goodness.
It was so exciting.

How are you?
He's Grammy-nominated.

He's a big deal.
Mm-hmm.

I feel like you all could do
soulful pop really well.
Mm-hmm.

And so then I thought if we did
this twist on "It's My Party,"

made, like, this, like,
Lana Del Rey...
Yes!

...like, Amy Winehouse,
Radiohead kind of vibe on it.

Dark, yeah.
I think it's
a little unexpected,

which is kind of
a cool factor...
Yeah.

Oh, yeah.
...and especially if you have
a different version

that's really cool.
That's what I'm hoping
happens here, Jason.

Um.
[ Laughter ]

* It's my party
and I'll cry if I want to *

Parker:
I feel like this song

was really a gift for me.

* Cry if I want to *

Oh!
* You would cry, too,
if it happened to you *

Parker: It talks about
feeling your emotions

and crying when you need to cry,
and, you know,

that's something I'm going
through a lot of right now.

About a year ago,
my mom was diagnosed

with frontotemporal dementia,

and about two months ago,
she passed.

I so want to win this battle
for my mom.

It's all because of everything
she and my dad have given me

over the years,
all the strength and support.

My fiancé, Austin,
is wildly supportive, as well,

and he's the best,
and he just proposed.

This is my mom's ring,
actually.

It was her engagement ring,
and it's so special,

and then her bracelet --

those are things I sort of
draw from when I'm onstage,

and I'll definitely be
wearing them for the battles.

* It's my party and I'll... *
Kelly: I'll tell you what --

little Miss Parker
showed up.

* ...cry if I want to *
Yes!

* Cry if I want to *
She was so good in the blinds.

She was the last one
to fill my team up,

but I was floored
with what she did.

* Cry if I want to *

You better sing!
* You would cry, too *

And then The Cunningham Sisters
are so talented.

* It's my party and... *
Macie is the older one,

and her voice -- she has
all these higher notes...
* ...if I want to *

...and really cool runs
up here.

* Cry if I want to *
And then the youngest

is holding down
these alto harmonies...
* Cry if I want to *

...like a boss.

* You would cry, too,
if it happened to you *

And she comes in and has
almost like an Adele-like tone.

It's incredible.

[ Laughter ]

Oh, man.
So it's a really good idea --

at least we know that.
Jason: It's a really good idea.

It's great.
You guys sound great together.
Oh!

And I love the song 'cause
it's nothing that's current

that people have heard,
you know,

a million times lately.
Yes!

Parker, oh, my God, your voice,
like, went to a different place.

Wow!
[ Laughs ]

It's like there's some,
like, jazz

and some country
and some pop.
Country, yeah. What?!

And it sounds great --
when you join in with them,

it's like...
Oh!

You guys complement
each other really well.

That's really not
what I expected.

How old are you guys?

I'm 15.
I'm 14.

Good Lord.

I think anytime
you see somebody

who's that good that young,

it definitely
is gonna get your attention.

Family harmonies are, like,

doesn't get any tighter,
right?
Yeah.

But when you started singing
by yourself, too,

it was like both of you guys
are like great singers.

They're, like,
individual artists, yeah.

So that's a dynamic
I feel like

you don't really see a lot.

When you come in on...

* It's my party and I'll *

...do you have any vibrato
on that "my"?

* It's my party and *

Yes.
I want you emphasizing "my."

Okay.
"It's myparty, girl,

and you just
left with my man."
Right.

You know
what I'm saying?
Yes.

They haven't
got there yet, Kelly.
Yeah. What? Yeah.

You've been to a party...
How old are you?

...and you like someone
and another girl

is creeping up on them.
I know it's happened.

Happens at all ages,
and you have the harder job

on those lower notes
of being just as emotional.

It's super exciting to, like,
be out of the box

and learn new things,
and Kelly's teaching us a lot.
Mm-hmm.

Growing up only singing
at church,

we didn't focus
on anyone around us,

but on "The Voice" stage,
it's, like, all eyes on you.

We come from a long line
of musicians

and recording artists.
Mm-hmm.

Our great-grandfather,
he was a leader

of the band called
Holy City Travelers.

So it kind of runs in the family
for us to be singing.
Yeah.

It was a really long, like,
journey, finding our voices

and going through, like,
the super hard times at school

and, like, getting bullied,

but we had each other's backs
the whole way through it,

and now we're
The Cunningham Sisters,

and now we're on the show.

[ Laughs ]

We grew stronger together, we
grew stronger with our family...
Mm-hmm.

...and now I understand
what they mean

when they say
dreams come true.

Kelly: Parker, on, "You would
cry, too, if it happened to you,

I don't want to go
all the way down.
Okay.

* To you *

Just stay kind of
in more the middle.
Yep.

And then how do you do
the very last chorus?

* Cryyy *

I feel like it should sound
more broken...
Mm.

...instead of so vocally,
"We worked on this"?
Yeah.

When you got all the --
the bends and all that...
Too much in the moment.

...it's just --
it's too theatrical.

Yeah, right.
You know what I mean?
Sometimes simple is cooler.

* Cry-y-y *
* Cry *
Oh, yeah.

And it'd be like,
"Whoo! Pin drop."

Everybody's excited.

Just make sure you're on pitch
and you stay together.

It has to be so tight.

Well, you know,
all three are very talented.

* Cry-y-y *
It's really going to come down
to taste and dynamics

and really just staying in sync
with each other.

I never really listened
to how sad this song is.

It's so sad.
I'm like, "Oh, my God."

Good luck with that one.

[ Laughter ]

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back.

[ Cheers and applause ]
Whoo!

Oh, my God.
They're so cute.

These outfits,
I can't take it.

Let the battle begin.

**

* It's my party,
and I'll cry if I want to *

* Cry if I want to *

* Cry if I want to *
Yes.

* You would cry, too,
if it *

* Happened to you *

* Ohh, ohh, yeah *

* Nobody knows where
my Johnny has gone *

Yeah.

* But Judy left
the same time *

* Why was he *

* Holding her hand *

* When he's supposed
to be mine? *

* It's my party, and I'll *

* I'll cry if
I want to *

* Cry if I want to *

* Cry if I want to *

* You would cry, too,
if it happened to you *

[ Cheers and applause ]
* Oh, oh, oh *

* Play all my records,
keep dancing all night *

* But leave me alone
for awhile *

* Oh *

* Till Johnny's *

* Dancing with me *

* I've got no reason *

* No reason to smile *

* It's my party and *

* I'll cry
if I want to *

* Cry if I want to *

* Cry if I want to *

* You would cry, too,
if it happened to you *

* It's my party,
and I'll cry if I want to *

* Cry if I want to *

* Cry-y-y *

[ Cheers and applause ]
Whoo!
Yeah!

* You would cry, too *

* If it happened to *

* You *
Yeah! Yeah!

[ Laughs ]

[ Cheers and applause ]

Whoo!

**

You guys were good!

Ah!

[ Chuckling ] Oh-oh, oh.

I love it.

This is tricky.
Tricky.

Yeah. I'll start
with The Cunningham Sisters.

How do you not instantly
fall in love with these two?

Oh, thank you.
And your talent
is incredible.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Parker, who was, apparently,
one chair turned around --

sadly for you,
it was Kelly.

I'm sorry about that.
Aw, come on.

That's my girl.
But -- But I thought

you sounded incredible,

but you were up against
The Cunningham Sisters.

You want my advice?
Yes.

Quit.

[ Laughter, applause ]

I just wanted to echo Blake
and say, you know,

Parker, you're so talented.

But I think what
The Cunningham Sisters are doing

is so special.

Although it's a difficult one

because everyone sounded
beautiful on this,

I would lean towards
The Cunningham Sisters.

[ Applause ]

Parker, I feel like you were
consistently the best vocalist,

but there's something
so dynamic and interesting

about
The Cunningham Sisters.

You all should have a TV show.

[ Laughter ]
I feel like you all should....

Like, there's so much
that intrigues me about you,

and I want to see where you go,
so I would probably pick them.

But I'm hesitant
because I feel like Parker

gave the best
vocal performance.

[ Cheers and applause ]
Daly: Thank you, coaches.

Kel, tough decision coming up.
Give me some thoughts.

You did such
a beautiful job.

The last note, where you
all kind of, sort of...

[ Vocalizing ]

That was crazy.
It worked.

It's that beautiful thing
where you all really found

the right notes that you
landed on, and you nailed it.

And I just want to
congratulate you on that

'cause that was hard.
[ Cheers and applause ]

You're all really great.

And I know
I have to make a choice.

Kelly, tough decision here,
but the time has come.

Who's the winner
of this battle?

[ Dramatic music plays ]

Man...

**

I'm so bummed right now.
Okay. Um...

I -- I just can't fight
the, like,

what is gonna
happen in my heart,

so I have to pick.

The winner of this battle
is The Cunningham Sisters.

[ Cheers and applause ]
The Cunningham Sisters

are moving on to the knockouts!

Kelly: I think
the thing that really

steals me about
The Cunningham Sisters

is just to have that kind
of confidence and precision

at such a young age.

Like, imagine
this whole journey.

I think anything I kind of throw
at them, like, a challenge,

they like it and they kind
of grow in that arena,

so I'm very excited about it.

Give it up for Parker McKay,
ladies and gentlemen!

[ Cheers and applause ]

You did awesome, Parker.

It was really hard
to watch Parker go home,

but, honest to God, my team
is so stacked this season.

Even the ones going home,
you know,

could have eventually
maybe made the finale.

Like, it's just a really
incredible team this year.

The girls --
their tones are...

They can sing.
...so good.

The youngest one, Marie,
she's the one...

That's nuts.
...holding up all
the depth of it.

Also how she stepped in...

And Macie hitting
the high --

She said...
* Nobody knows *
Yeah, yeah.

I was like,
"I'm into this movie."

[ Cheers and applause ]

Man: Okay, folks,
can we take places, please?

**

From Team Blake, it's
the 19-year-old from Alabama,

Berritt Haynes...
Yeah!

Whoo!
...versus the 21-year-old

from New York, Kaitlyn Velez!

Do you have a feeling yet,
a gut feeling?

No.

Oh, my gosh.

* Look at the stars *

* Look how
they shine for you *

Alright.

* And all
the things you do *

I like it!

* 'Cause
you were all yellow *

* Oh *

* Your skin *

* Oh, yeah,
your skin and bones *

Berritt, I was
just captivated by you.

This competition is going to
push you to the edge,

you know, and, Berritt, way
to step up to the plate, dude.

The winner of this battle
is Berritt.

Berritt Haynes!

Blake: Berritt had such
an incredible performance.

There was just no way
to not recognize that

and hand him the victory.

His tone was cool.
Yeah, I thought that was good.

He was wailing.
Alright.

He said...
* Look at the star-- *

Whoa.

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back
to the battles.

[ Clacks ]
This is so nice.

I've never been on the other
side of the pressure before.

Yes.
[ Laughs ]

Our next group here,
we've got Jonathan...

Okay.
...and we've got Paris.

Being coached by one of
the greatest musicians...

Jonathan: Come on...
...and singers of our time
like John Legend...

There it is. I know.
...like, that's something

that not everybody
can put on their résumés.

I always imagined meeting him
one day just as a fan...
Exactly, yeah.

...but never in this --
Never in this capacity.

Yeah.
I never thought.

Both brought so much light
to the stage,

positivity...
Yeah.

...joy,
and great singing.

Oh, I remember
that feeling...
[ Chuckles ]

...of walking through
the halls

before you got to be
on camera.
[ Chuckles ]

Hello!
Look who's here!
Ooh-whee.

Ah! Hi!
Camila!

How you doing?
Nice to meet you.

This is it.
We made it, Doc.

Nice to meet you.
So nice to meet you.

Oh, my God.

* I love it when
you call me señorita *

Camila's on fire right now.

John: This is Jonathan,
and this is Paris.
Oh, my God.

Nice to meet you.
Paris: Two of the best singers

on this face of this earth
right now are coaching me.

Jonathan was the first
person on my team.

Oh, sick!
And I was so excited.

And I was telling him
when he auditioned

that I heard him
singing like Luther.

I heard a little
Luther in you.

**

* I'ma leave my door open *

Jonathan: Due to the pandemic,
I lost my job

managing a studio
for a composer.

So after having a rough couple
of months...
* I'ma leave *

...being on that stage...
* I'ma leave my door open *

...and seeing John and Ariana
turn their chairs for me,

it felt amazing.

I felt like you
approached the song

with all of the right emotion
that you wanted to put on it.

We already have the same
outfit on, same name.

We're twinning.

Let's go from twinning
to winning.

Jonathan:
John just said the things
that were true to my heart.

Mr. Legend!
Yeah!

You couldn't have told me
two months ago

that this would be
my life right now.

Then, when Paris came
into my life,

I was just so excited
to have these guys sing together

and sing some Luther!
Mm. Mm! I love it.

Luther, man.
What did you guys
grow up on?

Same thing. Luther.
Nice. That's great.

Gospel music, jazz.

* Very superstitious *

* Waahhh, yeah, yeah *

Not too long ago,
I was selling cellphones.
* When you believe in things *

So it's absolutely amazing to be
in this spot right here.
* That you don't understand *

* Then you suffer *

This is the beginning
of my life.

You lit this stage
on fire!

The last decade or so, I spent
my time in the U.S. Navy.

My whole goal in life
was just to make music.

Thank God for this moment.
Come on, Paris!

John,
let's make history, dawg.

[ Cheers and applause ]
Y-a-a-a-a-ay!

John came up in church,
just like I did,

in my genre of music.

I was like,
"I'd be crazy not to pick John."

We're going to do "Here and Now"
by Luther Vandross.

I used to sing this
at weddings back in the day.

My dad had this playing
on repeat.

Yeah. [ Chuckles ]
I sang it
at a couple weddings myself.

You sang it at a couple
weddings yourself.
Nice!

There you go.

* Here and now *

John:
I love Jonathan and Paris.

They have these lovely,
soulful tenor voices.
* I vow to be one with thee *

And I wanted to hear
Jonathan and Paris

sing this song.
* Oh *

Camila: Both of their voices
are really, really different.

* Your love
is all I need *

Paris's tone is really,
really special.
Whoo!

* Starting here *
He has this kind of tenderness
to his voice.

* I believe in your love *
Jonathan has

a really high, belts voice...
* I'm starting here *

...that's really,
really strong.

* I'm starting right here *
* I'm starting now *

Both of their strengths
definitely work

really well in the song.

* Need *
[ Laughing ] Whoo!

Yeah!
Oh, I love that ending.

That was so nice.
Come on!

Jonathan, I need you to stay
in the mic, though.
Okay.

True. True.
'Cause your mouth
is going all over here,

and there was like
a lot of moments

where, like,
I was losing you.

Got you.
If I'm not hearing
every note,

then
it's hard for me to be

fully in the performance, okay?
I got you.

Being coached by John Legend --
this is a master class.

And so I'm soaking up every
moment I can have with him

because I want
to continue growing --

I want to continue learning.

It's really
beautiful, guys.

You guys sound
so good together.

What?! John Legend just told me
I got a great voice?

Man. Right, check that
off the list.

If nothing else happens in
this world, I'm perfectly fine.

I'm hearing like a little
Aaron Neville in you.

He has that tenderness, too.

Almost like a little
country-ness to him.
Right.

And you can hear
the storytelling in his voice.
You can hear the storytelling.

And that's what I love about
your approach to the song.

Back home with my praise team,
I try to tell them --

doesn't matter what song
you sing --

tell them the story,
but take them on a ride

when you're doing it.

If my grandmother, Muzette,

who just recently passed away,
was still here,

she would be bragging
to everybody in her church.

"My grandson on TV."
You know? So...

[ Laughs ]
My grandmother would love it

if she knew
I was doing a Luther song.
[ Humming ]

Like, "Boy, you better
sing that song."

And don't play with it, either."

"Yes, ma'am."

She's the one
that kept me in line.

Huge impact to me as an artist

and huge impact to me
as a man.

She left her imprint on my life.

If my grandmother was here,
she'd be so happy for me.

Think today
about who and what

you're thinking about
when you sing it.
Yeah.
That's right.

I believe in love,
starting with your face.

Communicate those words.

I'm thinking about
how I'm here and I'm now.

Yes.
And I beat stage 4 cancer.

That's what I'm talking about.
Yeah.
Whoo!

Jonathan: I'm looking at
the song and interpreting it

from not just a standpoint
of being in love,

but being in love with my life.

Since going through the storm
of stage 4 cancer,

the goal was,
"Let's get back to work."

I am writing,
and I am producing,

pouring my story and pouring
who I am into my music.

I've had the opportunity
to sing behind Chaka Khan,

Fergie, Ciara, Faith Evans.
[ Humming ]

Music was a saving grace for me
in my life, and life's a gift.

And many of us
don't get to be here and now.

As you move into that...
* Starting here *

...I want that emotion
to be felt...
Yes, sir.

...and I want you guys
to build

and feed off of each other
on that.

* Starting here *

* Ooh,
and I'm starting now *

* Yeah *

In the chorus, I feel like
it would really help to be like,

"Here and now,"
like, with your hands --

like, really act out
those words.

* Here and now *

Whoo!
* Oh *

Yeah!
* I vow to be one *

* With thee *

Yes.
That rocks! That was sick.

It -- It was
so much better.

John: It's important
for Jonathan and Paris

to embrace the emotion,

make the audience feel it.

You're going to compel
these folks so much.

We're going to give them the
best performance of the battles.

And no matter what,
both these guys

are going to go
to the next round.
Yes, sir.

Yep.
That's your goal, okay?

The song really relies
on storytelling

and passion and connection...
Good job.

...and I think whoever
can connect more will win.

You guys are both two of my
favorite voices, so...

I can't.
Oh, thank you!

Thanks, guys.
I can check that
off my list.

Yeah.
[ Laughter ]

You've got two really wonderful,
soulful tenor crooners,

and I'm going to have to make
a tough decision.

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back to
"The Voice."

[ Cheers and applause ]

My guys.
Let's go, gentlemen.

This battle
begins right now.

**

* One look in your eyes *

* And there I see *

* Just what you mean
to me *

* And here in my heart *

* I, I believe *

* Your love is all
I'll ever need *

* Holdin' you close
through the night *

* I need you *

Yes.
Wow.

* Yeah *

* Here and now *

[ Cheers and applause ]

* I promise to love faithfully *

* You're all I need *

* Whoa, oh *

* Here and now *

Wow.

* I vow to be one with thee *

* And all I need
is your love *

* Said your love
is all I need *

[ Speaking indistinctly ]
* Starting here *

* Ooh, starting now *

* Yeah *

* I believe in your love *

* I'm starting here *

* I'm starting right here *

* I'm starting now *

* Right now because
I believe in your love *

* So I'm gonna take
the vow *

* Here and now *

* Oh *
[ Screams ]

* I vow to be one with thee *

Yeah!

* Oh *

* Said your love
is all I need *

* Whooooo, ooh, ooh *

* Yeah, yeah *

* Whoa, oh, oh, oh *

* All *

* I *

* Need *
Yeah!

[ Cheers and applause ]
Beautiful!

**

Yeah!

[ Cheers and applause continue ]

Yeah! Give it up for 'em!
I love it!

Kelly: That was just
beautiful singing.

Y'all are so
evenly matched.

You both did some really
cool stuff that was so moving.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Jonathan, you have
this really cool vibrato, man.

And then, Paris, you have
this texture to your voice

that is super captivating.
Thank you so much.

There's something
about you, Paris,

that I keep
gravitating towards.

But honest to God, I was playing
Ping-Pong the whole time.
Mm-hmm.

I wish -- I mean, you could go
with literally either one.

Yeah.

That literally sounded
like a record.

It was incredible.
I mean, I want to hear it again.

[ Laughter ]
Paris, I love your voice.

You have such a clean tone.

And, Jonathan,
same thing --

I love your voice.
[ Speaking indistinctly ]

You have more
of a vibrato.

Maybe that's what made that
blend work so well together

was your clean tone
with his vibrato.

I don't know,
but it was great.

I normally will stick my neck
out and say who I would choose,

but I don't know.

I-I choose Carson.

[ Laughter ]

Yeah. Always,
always choose Carson.

Jonathan, Paris,
that was so incredible.

You're both
world-class singers.

Your vibratos
are so unique.

But then, I felt like, when you
were singing at the same time,

they were circling around
at the same exact speed.

I was like,
"What kind of witchcraft?"

[ Laughter ]
And so this was -- It was --

It was so captivating
and amazing.

This is really hard,

and I am also going to be
of no help.

I don't know
what you do here.

[ Cheers and applause ]
Wow.

Daly: Thank you, coaches.

I'm sorry.

Not sure you got a lot
of help there, John.

Give us some thoughts
on the battle.

Everyone said
how thoroughly impressive

and -- and captivating
both of you are.

And there's no right answer
about who was better.

Jonathan, your tone is a little
silkier, a little smoother.

I do love that vibrato.

And then, Paris, your voice
does have a little more texture

and a little more
grit to it,

but it's also rangy and smooth
when it needs to be.

And you are both
so evenly matched,

and I've gone back and forth
about it.

You both were as great as you
needed to be to keep going.

So thank you for making
my job difficult,

but that just means
you all were awesome.

You really were.

[ Applause ]
John, the time has come.

Who is the winner
of this battle?

[ Dramatic music plays ]

The winner of this battle...

**

...is Paris.

[ Cheers and applause ]
Paris Winningham!

You are moving on to
the knockouts. Congratulations!

John: Picking a winner
was almost like a coin toss.

My only slight preference
for Paris

is something about his energy.

I like
that bounce that he has.

Thank you so much.
Thanks, John.

That kind of energy
is really infectious.

Paris: If you'd have asked me
last year if I'd be here,

I wouldn't have believed it,
but to get here now

and to stand on the biggest
stage I've ever been on,

I'm overwhelmed,
and -- and I can't say enough.

I'm just -- I'm truly thankful.

Coaches, I'll remind you
Jonathan's available to steal.

Jonathan, anything you'd like to
say to your coach?

Jonathan: It's not lost on me
singing a Luther song

to someone
who has inspired me

since
I was in middle school.

Like, the magnitude
of this moment,

and being here on this stage,
it's a bucket list.

So, thank you.
You're amazing, Jonathan.

Thank you, thank you,
thank you.

[ Cheers and applause ]
Hey!

Daly: What?!
Yeah!

That is a steal from
Blake Shelton!

[ Shouts indistinctly ]

[ Cheers and applause continue ]

You're not leaving.

They had such
an incredible performance.

I was gonna use my steal...
Yes!

...on either one of those guys,
to be honest with you.

Jonathan's voice
is unbelievable.

He's just a very tasteful
and talented vocalist.

He's an incredible addition
to Team Blake.

You're not leaving.
What are you talking about?
[ Laughs ]

John:
I'm sure Blake would love

for Jonathan to go on
and do well,

and then he can gloat about
how he was a better coach.

But I'm rooting for Jonathan,
no matter what.

I love Jonathan as a vocalist,

and I only want
the best for him.

I am looking forward
to the knockouts.

He came home.
[ Laughs ]

He came home to Team Blake.
I came home!

I did say moments before
to Blake that he had to steal.

Oh, yeah,
she was bullying me.

John:
She's known for that.

[ Laughter ]
