I was feeling
a little bit nervous

about the fact that
the blind audition is coming up.

Any time something big
happens in my life,

I always do a tarot reading
beforehand.

So I asked the deck,

how was my blind audition
gonna go?

I'm really looking forward to it
after that reading.

It gave me a lot of hope

for what's to come.

My name is Ryleigh Modig.

I'm 18 years old,

and I'm from Spencer,
Massachusetts.

My dad, Wayne, what a guy.

Hello.

He's a businessman
during the day.

Then by night, he comes home,
and he puts on like a tank top,

and you can see his, like,
sleeve of tattoos,

and he plays his guitar,
and we record music.

For as long as I remember,

he would let me come up on stage
and sing with him

when he would do gigs.

He's just always been
a huge inspiration,

and performing with my dad
on stage

had an impact on the fact
that that's what I want to do

for the rest of my life.

Growing up,

I feel like music was
a really good outlet for me.

Being gay and knowing
that I was different,

I've struggled with anxiety
and depression.

After I came out,
I lost a lot of friends.

Everybody turning against you,

the things that people
are saying about you ‐‐

obviously, that is awful
for your mental health.

But I feel like
the biggest battle for me

was definitely
trying to love myself

and accept myself for who I am.

♪ Hey ♪
For my blind audition,
I am singing

"When the Party's Over"
by Billie Eilish.

This song means the world to me

because it's about not wanting

to lie about how you
feel about things,

and I feel like I shouldn't
have to lie about who I am

and I shouldn't have
to lie about who I love.

Billie Eilish is so comfortable
in her own skin,

and it just inspired me.

I was like,
"Why can't I just be like that?"

♪ I love me! ♪

I just went with it.

I shaved my head.
I started going to concerts.

I made new friends.

I wanted to be me
so people could see

that there's nothing
to be afraid of.

♪ I love me! ♪

It was awful
seeing her struggle,

but she shaved her head
and found herself.

And it's been amazing
ever since.

To see her
on "The Voice,"

being the person
that she wants to be,

it's been an amazing journey
for her, I think,

and we're ‐‐
we're very proud of her.

My family is so supportive.

They just love me for who I am.

I am forever grateful

for everything that
you've done for me.

We love you.
Love you.

If I could tell my younger self
one thing,

it would just be
to live your truth

because there's light
at the end of the tunnel.

Yay!
Yay!

Here she comes.

You guys are fun.

I like you guys.

I like you sometimes.

When I walk up to the mike,

I just want to pour
my emotion out for them

and tell a story that I hope

that they can connect with.

I see the lights.

What?! Yes!

Ooh! That was smooth.

Whoo!

You better
sing those runs!

Hi.

What is your name?
And where are you from?

My name is Ryleigh Modig.

I'm 18, and I'm from Spencer,
Massachusetts.

Ryleigh, excellent song choice.
I love that song.

Thank you.
And I think
the reality is,

you have the kind
of tone and voice

that speaks to my soul.

‐Whoa. Ooh.
‐Wow!

So let's ‐‐ let's
make this happen.

Aw, I can't
do that thing.

See, I'm not ‐‐
I'm not ‐‐ Oh!

Kelly, I'm gay.

Yes!
Aw!

Yes!
None of that worked!

Your powers did not
work on her!

It's not about that.

Turns out,
I'm the only female present!

Finally.

Oh, Ryleigh.

The thing that was

so captivating
about your voice

was the power
of your vibrato.

Thank you so much.
It makes everything you say

sound a little bit more
emotional and dramatic.

And that's
your secret weapon.

Pick your coach wisely,
and they'll help you use it.

Thank you.

Ryleigh, I think that
there were some things

about the performance
that were not perfect.

One thing I know how to do
is coach nerves.

And the other person
that turned their chair

has said many times

that she has trouble
coaching nerves.

Each day I show up
on set to this show,

I'm incredibly nervous,
so when it comes to nerves,

I think, you know,
it could be a natural fit.
That was good.

I don't coach nerves well.

But you didn't come across
as nervous.

What you came across ‐‐
and I do relate to ‐‐

is you get lost in it.

You start singing...
Yeah.

...and it's almost like
you are the character

in that movie
that you are singing about,

and I do that
all the time.

I cry very easily.
Everyone knows.

And how you sang that song
was so unbelievably rad.
Thanks!

I feel like this should've been
a four‐chair turn,

but it's fine.
Oh!

And I just think
you're really cool,

and I would love ‐‐
I think you're cool!

Okay! Well, let's do this.
I also think
you're very cool.

I think you're really cool.
Just wanted to make sure
I said that.

Me and my mom saw
both "Jumanji" movies.
Yes!

Oh, my gosh!
I will be honest with you.

I love "Jumanji" movies.
I love that.

I'm gonna be real
with you, too.

You would look real cute
in my jacket,

but that's all.
I ‐‐ I would.

I would.
Hi, Ryleigh.

Hi.
So, in your mind,

it was the nerves
kind of got to you.

Absolutely.
I know where you're going
with this, Blake.

I'm not going anywhere.
Now you're not!

I don't do that anymore.

Ok‐‐

"Anymore."
If you know
what the issue is

and you know what each coach
can specialize in,

then there you go.

I specialize in winning.
Whoa!

I have won three times
on this show,

and I'm just saying,
I can win.

That's a good point.
I just want
to say this.

I'm not gonna
claim to know

all the ‐‐ the ‐‐ the things
you need to do to be perfect,

'cause it seems like you got
all those tools yourself.

I'd love
to just be there to help.

Thank you.

Ryleigh,
you've got to make a choice.

Who do you pick
as your coach?

♪ I had a dream that someday ♪
Um...

♪ I would just fly, fly away ♪

Okay.
♪ I always knew
I couldn't stay ♪

♪ So I had a dream
that I'd just fly away ♪

I'm gonna have to go
with Team Kelly.

Yeah!

Whoo!

I'm so happy!

I love Ryleigh.

You handle yourself into that
cute little jacket over there.

‐Okay! I will!
‐Welcome to Team Kelly.

She's a one‐in‐a‐million kind
of kid that comes along,

from her smile
to her bubbly little laugh

to her, like, soulfulness.

Like, she's cool.

Nick came out swinging,
but mama brought it home.

Just sayin'.

Hee hee hee!

I felt like I was gonna explode,

but in a good way.

And Kelly Clarkson told me
that she loved me,

so...

feeling pretty good.

Alright, Kelly.
It was a good pitch.

When I turned around and saw her
and I saw Nick hit his button,

I go, "I have no chance."

She is meant
to be on your team.
I love her.

♪ This is "The Voice" ♪

Welcome back
to the Blind Auditions

at Universal Studios Hollywood.

Coaches,
it's good to see you all.

Nick, want to say welcome back.
Good to be back.

What is your strategy
this season?

I come with a fire in my eyes
that really scares

each and every one of
these coaches up here.

Fair enough. Alright.

We're celebrating
our 10‐year anniversary.

Blake, you and I
have been here

since the very beginning
of the show.

Well, I notice you're sitting
next to Nick this year.

Yeah, Blake! Did you have
anything to do with that?

Conversations with John Legend
are mind‐numbingly boring.

Alright. Kelly,
good to see you this season.
Yay!

What do you think of the artists
that you've seen so far?

The talent is incredible.
I love the team I'm building.

Everybody is literally from
a different genre right now.

John, I have noticed
you have your little

mini keyboard there.
I do!

I'm trying
to erase the nightmare

that was the rubber hand
from my memory.
Never.

Good luck to you all.
It's good to see you.

Let's see some more
blind auditions.

‐Whoo!
‐Alright.

In my life,

even when I was
a full‐time musician,

I've always had
some type of trade

or some type of career.

I worked in accounting.

I was a truck driver.

And not any kind of trucks.

I drive tanks.

I'm flying this bad boy.

I was a flight attendant
for like two whole weeks.

A voiceover artist.

But I'm a mother first.

So being a starving artist
was never an option for me.

I'm Pia Renee.
I'm 37 years young.

At 15,
I found out I was pregnant.

Me being so young

and walking down the streets
of my neighborhood,

and my belly's getting big,

I felt ashamed,

and I had to deal
with all of those emotions.

I had to grow up fast,
paying bills on time,

going to work,
going to daycare.

I learned a lot of things
by trial and error,

mostly error.

I didn't see not graduating
high school as an option,

and I graduated on time.

I went to college
to learn music.

My two kids were
right there with me.

We were sitting down,
doing our homework together.

In my 20s,
I was in a reggae band,

and reggae has been
a big, big part

of my development as an artist.

Whether I was in college
learning music,

a full‐time musician,

or a corporate professional

doing music on the side,

it's always been a part
of my children's lives.

Growing up
with a mom who sings,

it's not the "regular," like,
job that most moms have,

but being a single mom,

she always did
a really great job

with providing everything.

It was very important to me

for my children to have
a solid mama.

I want them to know,
whatever I got

to bulldoze through,
I got you.

Love you, little baby.
Love you, too.

Being on "The Voice" is
a bright moment for me.

I have been a creative
most of my life,

and I'm excited to see

who my voice and style
resonates with.

As a songwriter, as a singer,
as a musician,

this is huge.

Dang it!
Oh, gosh.

What's your name?
Where are you from?

My name is Pia Renee.

I'm from Chicago, Illinois.

How sad are you right now
that John turned around?

I feel like I'm getting
one last look at her.

‐
‐Aw.

That was so good.
Thank you.

You were singing fast.

I couldn't even figure out
what was going on.

I love you.

I'm a country singer,

and I can't even think
rhythmically.

I can't even say
the word "rhythmically."

I do think
we have a similar style.

Okay.

This might seem like
an odd pairing,

but I have a lot of experience
on this show.

A lot of experience.
Yep.

Some might say
he's tired.

I'm not tired.
Washed ‐‐ Washed up.

I am standing.

You don't generally do that.
You haven't done that.

I know. You're just sitting
there, laid back.

That is insulting, John.
Yeah.

Shame on you.
You are absolutely right.

That was phenomenal.

When Blake turned
his chair around,

I got very excited
'cause I like the idea

of this kind of unexpected
coaching‐artist duo.

I think that
you're gonna be a force.

Tell us about
your influences.

I've done R&B, soul,
but reggae has my heart.

I heard a little
Rahsaan Patterson in you too.

Blake,
you know Rahsaan, right?

That's Old Man
Patterson's boy.

Old Man Patterson's son.

Yeah.
That's right.

America needs to hear
someone like you,

with so much energy,
so much soul.

We're all fortunate

that you graced us
with your presence.

So it would be a lot of fun
to work with you.

Thank you.
You're fabulous.

But I felt so
out of my league.

But I will say,
if one of them screws up,

I am definitely going
to try and steal you,

and maybe you can
teach me something.

Okay.

I won't screw up, Pia.
I think ‐‐

Give me the chance.

One of us knows the music
you want to cover,

and one of us has no clue.

To say that I don't know
anything about the music

that she's performing
would kind of disqualify

the fact that, who knows,
even by the time this airs,

Gwen Stefani ‐‐ she could even
be my wife by then.

Oh, breaking news!

She's delivering twins
right now.

She's pushing them out.
But I'm here working.

Pia, I have no idea
what this man is talking about.

I'm talking about
Gwen Stefani

and her stamp on reggae,
ska music

and how much
I've grown to love it.
Mm‐hmm.

Wouldn't it be great

if she were here
to coach you?

Do you like Buju?

Love Buju.
Yeah.

Blake,
do you know what Buju is?

It's like a bread ‐‐
like a warm bread.

No.
Like a buju...

I happened to do
a song with Buju.

Gwen is great,
but Blake is not Gwen.

Pia, the time has come
to make a decision.

Yeah.
Who do you pick
as your coach?

Oh, Lord.

Come on, Pia!

Come on home.

I choose John.
Ahhh!

Thank you!
‐Aaaah!

Pia Renee had cool runs,
cool style.

Thank you!
Her voice is so interesting.

I am so excited to see
what she can do.

Thank you, Blake.

I was in way over my head...

I'm sorry.
...because they were talking
about artists

that I thought were food.

B‐Buju?
Buju?

Blake trying to use
the reggae‐ska card

was maybe
the saddest display ever.

I thought that was like
a cornbread loaf.

Still waiting on that reggae hit
from Shelton.

Welcome back.

I'm the only one
with a block left, you know?

Who are you gonna
use it on?

I think it'll be
one of you three.

Oh.
Okay.

I can't be sure.

I'm a threat.
My team is awesome.

I still have
my block.
You think ‐‐ Yeah.

‐Such a liar.
‐It's a commitment to lying.

Unbelievable.
How could I not have it?

Just, the commitment
is beyond me.
I ‐‐ I don't know.

My name is Andrew Marshall.

I am 21 years old,

from Boxford, Massachusetts.

I've been singing ever since
I was in elementary school.

Me and one of my sisters
started doing theater together.

I want to make people smile
or feel something.

We really didn't know
he could sing

until he was
in his middle school show.

His voice at that young age
was phenomenal ‐‐

we thought, of course.

We're his parents.

I remember looking, and I go,
"Who's this kid?"

We were kind of
blown away.

Junior year, I go to chorus,
and the people are like,

"Yeah, Andrew,
your eyes are yellow."

I'm like, "What?"

And so I, like,
take a picture of it,

and I send it to my mom
'cause my mom's a nurse,

and she's like, "That's weird."

My parents picked me up.
We go to Mass General.

And I started a couple
days of testing.

Day three comes around,
and all the doctors are like,

"I don't know what to do.
I think that you're fine."

Then this one doctor,
she was like,

"I would feel a little bit
more comfortable

if we just did one more test."

We knew it was a leukemia test.

She came in, and she said,
"Let me grab a chair."

And from there, you just knew.

I remember just kind of
sitting in the bed

and just being frozen
for a while.

He just ‐‐ Obviously,
as a 16‐year‐old boy,

felt like, you know,
"Who pulled the rug out

from underneath
my life?"

And together,
we, as a family,

tried to really be there
and support him

and laugh when he laughed,
cried when he cried.

I guess
that's all we did.

Three‐and‐a‐half years
of treatment

really messed me up.

Music got me through it,

knowing that, one day,
I'm gonna be back on the stage

in some capacity.

I remember we had
a phone call from the doctor

and yelling at Andrew, I go,
"You're in remission."

He didn't let
this disease define him.

When you get diagnosed,
you're so blurred.

That's why you have
your parents there.

You know, it definitely
brought us closer.

I mean, my parents
are my best friends.

Like,
I love them to pieces, you know?

Oh, Andrew.

Yeah, I just really
appreciate them, so...

But I don't ‐‐ I don't tell them
that enough, you know.

We're so proud of you.

Your strength
is inspiring.

I love you.
I love you, too.

For my blind audition,

I will be singing "Gravity"
by John Mayer.

You know, when I was sick,
I listened to his music,

and that was the music
that got me through.

My Make‐A‐Wish was
to meet John Mayer,

and it was one of the most

validating experiences
of my life.

Going through leukemia has
strengthened me in so many ways

that I wouldn't have
even expected.

It allows me to keep

pushing forward
when life gets harder.

And I know that there's light
on the other side.

Everyone's smiling
when the person walked up.

They seem so happy.

He must have
a dog with him.

Congratulations.

I'm a huge John Mayer fan.
I love that song.

That's John Mayer, right?
John Mayer.

Yes, it is.
That would have been
so embarrassing

if it wasn't.

I thought about
hitting my button,

but then I didn't.

And who gives a crap, man?
You're on Team Nick.

Congratulations.
That's right.
You are now a Jonas Brother.

I've been dreaming of being
in the Jonas Brothers

since I was like
10 years old.

Me, too!

We are excited for you,
Andrew.

And I think
the only challenge for me

is the song

doesn't really go
a lot of places musically.

But I think you have
a lovely voice, lovely tone.

And it'll be
interesting to see

what the next songs
you pick will be

that will showcase
all the, you know,

contours of your voice.

Thank you, sir.

You know,
when the music dropped,

just hold out some big note
and, like, sustain it,

and it would have created
a little more intimacy.

But I think that you have
a really great voice,

and I know why
you turned around.

It's ‐‐ Your tone is
really awesome, man.

And congratulations.
You're on "The Voice."

Thank you so much.
Yeah.

I'm shocked they didn't
turn their chairs.

I will tell you
one thing that I saw

was every single face
on this screen here

light up when
you came out,

and I think that
your presence on stage...

They're still
cheering for you.

They're very excited.
They like him.

They like you.

So, to already have
that reaction

on top of a phenomenal
opening bar in the song,

which made me
turn my chair around,

I knew you'd be the perfect
addition to this team.

I don't know if you watched
my last season of "Voice,"

but I got made fun of
a lot for...

I would never make fun of you.
...writing in
my ‐‐ my notebook.

And so I said,
lean into the things

that people make fun of you for,
especially bully Blake.

With that, I want to say
welcome to Team Nick.

And here's
your Nick Notes.

Ta‐da!

Oh!
Careful.
Careful.

Yeah.
That's very dangerous.

Okay.
Now you can get it.

We are excited
for you, Andrew.

With Andrew Marshall,
I think it was the combination

of his charisma,
his vocal approach.

All those pieces
kind of came together.

I'm still looking
for a few things

to kind of round out my team

and have as solid a foot forward

as I possibly can.

But in comparison
to the other coaches,

I feel like
I'm in a very good spot.

It's very dangerous
when that comes down.

I know. It comes down
in a hurry there.

It's a little bit awkward that

Nick is presenting Nick's Notes

because the notes that
they write in those books

are not going to be
Nick's Notes.

You know he thought
he was about to get slimed

or something, didn't he?

♪ This is "The Voice" ♪

Welcome back.

Nick's Notes has evolved,
as all things must.

Everyone thinks I'm taking
the notes thing too far,

but I think

I could go even further.

Alright.
So "Hard‐working."

"Imagine it."

"Crush Blake."
"Destroy."

I am never giving up these notes

unless there's some kind
of paper shortage.

Then I'll be out of luck.

Whew!

Went into the notes vortex
there.

I think if I wouldn't have gone
to the University of Alabama,

my dad would disown me.

This is just
a tremendous blessing

and a tremendous opportunity.

As a parent, you always think
your child is talented.

Emma genuinely has a gift,
and she's unique.

My dad is
a military helicopter pilot,

and he was deployed
when I was in third grade.

And since then,
he's been in Afghanistan,

Saudi Arabia, and other places.

It was pretty difficult
growing up without him there,

just because we're super close.

But it pushed me
into writing songs.

About a year ago,
my dad was actually training

in, like, another state
for, like, a couple days,

and he was supposed to go
directly back to Afghanistan,

and he had told me he was
getting on the plane.

But I made it home,
surprised her when I came home.

No way!

I'll never be able to forget.

That look
was the most precious thing.

‐Hi, Dad.
‐

I'm very excited
because my dad

will be able
to watch my audition,

and that just makes it
even more special.

With him being gone,
he never really got to come

to any shows or anything,

so he's really going to hear me

sing my heart out
for the first time.

I'm the only one
with the block now.
Yeah.

Don't look. Don't look.
Don't look. That's cheating.

Ladies and gentlemen,

our next artist
is entering now.

I just wanna scream.

Yay!

What's your name?
And where are you from?

I'm Emma Caroline.

I'm 25 years old,

and I'm from Tuscaloosa,
Alabama.

Roll tide.
Roll tide.

‐She said "Roll tide."
‐Roll tide.

I had to get that in there.
You have to say that
when you're from Tuscaloosa.

Yeah.
Emma, that was
a great performance.

One of my favorite songs

of the last couple years,
actually.

I think you sang it
really well.

I just only didn't
turn my chair

because I feel like
there were some things

that were
a little timid.

But you've got
an amazing opportunity

to get to work
with a coach

who's gonna guide you
in the right direction.

I think Nick and I probably
were a little hesitant to turn

'cause we knew,
once Blake turned,

that it was probably
no chance

that you would
do anything

as daring as picking someone...
Oh, there it is.

There's the card.
...other than Blake.

You know, it's ‐‐ it's kind of
the obvious choice.

One could say
predictable choice.

It'd be ‐‐ be
a predictable choice.

If I were her,
it'd be obvious to me.

You're ‐‐ You're right
about that.

Somewhat unexciting.
But if you want

to go that direction,
by all means.

This show kind of rewards
artistry and independence.
Hmm.

But if you want to go
the safe route, pick Blake.

Oh, my gosh.

I love that song.
You like country, obviously?

Is this ‐‐ Yeah?
Yes, ma'am.

I am from Tuscaloosa,
Alabama, so...

Roll Tide.
Roll Tide.

Anyway, I'm a huge fan
of country music.

Kacey kind of represents
a part of country music ‐‐

It's like this new lane,
but it's an old lane.

I love female
country artists.

I've won with
a female country artist,

and I would love for you
to be on my team.

Thank you.
I'm so excited

because you
bring something

that we don't get to see
that often.

You have more
of a mountain‐sounding voice,

which I love,
by the way.

I disagree about it
being an old lane,

'cause I think
she's kind of created

a new spot
in country music

and people are so attracted
to that, you know,

and I think you can do
something like that too.

Country music
has been my life

since I was 14,
15 years old.

And now what's exciting for me
is to find new young talent.

I would be honored
to be your coach.

Thank you.

So, who do you pick
as your coach?

It's such a hard choice.

Gonna go for obvious,
or does she go for unexpected?

Predictable...
Come on, Emma.

...or exciting?
Don't listen to him.

It's crap.
Is what
you're pointing at crap?

Sometimes.

The coach that I choose...

And this is not
easy at all.

Um...

Is Blake.

Oh, yeah!

Come on, Emma!

So excited to have
Emma Caroline on my team.

That is one
of the country‐iest names

we've ever had on the show.

Oh, my gosh.
I wish I could hug ya.

She's got a unique sound,

and I think we'll have a leg up
on everybody

because we're already
on the same page.

I have a bobblehead
there for you

to put on the dash
of your truck.
Oh, yay. Thank you.

Congratulations, Emma.

I turned for Emma because

I love a singer‐songwriter,
country girl.

Bobble it.

‐Congratulations.
‐

But every time I go against
Blake for a country person

and I don't have a block,

95% chance I'm gonna lose.

Why do you always try
to undercut me?

What is
the obvious‐choice thing?

What the hell
are you talking about?

That is a ‐‐ That is
a mean thing to do to somebody.

You're right. Who would
do something like that?

Catching a little crap this
season with the other coaches

because of my reverse
psychology pitch that I do.

You're disgusting,
John Legend.

We tried to use
Blake's tricks against him.

We failed, so shocking,
party of none.

Dirty,
underhanded tactic.

News flash ‐‐ My angle is,
I'm trying to win this show.

Why are they so surprised
by that season after season?

I don't understand.

Welcome back

Jojo.

What are you doing?

I'm crying in here.

My favorite part
about being a dad?

I'd probably say just

watching them be who they are.

It's just cool to see them
have personalities.

I'm James Tutson.

who, you know ‐‐

music is a huge passion for us.

We're excited to write
and play songs

and take it seriously.

I'm a late bloomer,
but now is my time.

Here I am, 31.

I feel like I'm just starting

to find what my sound is.

And I want to do music.

I want to play shows.

I want to do this
as a profession.

Being a dad with two kids
to support,

a chair turn would
mean everything.

I think it would mean
that we're off

on a new journey together,

and so I feel really excited

about the opportunity
to chase this thing

that I've been wanting
for so long.

Got a lot riding on this.
Thinking about your kids.

Thinking about my kids.
Thinking about my wife.

Thinking about my family,

It's going to be fun.

What's your name?
Where are you from?

I'm James Tutson. I'm 31,
and I'm from Iowa City, Iowa.

You really do have
a lovely voice.

The tone is very sweet
and comforting and soulful.

It just didn't all come together
for me today.

Some of it, I think,
was a little bit

of pitch imprecision.

While it felt like it was close,
it just didn't feel

like it was
all the way there for me.
Yeah.

Thank you so much.
Thank you, yeah.

The singing felt maybe
a little too laid‐back

and not enough emphasis ‐‐
What's that word?

Emphasis.
Emphasis? Incubus?

Emphasis.
Incubus is a band.

On the singing, you know,
maybe a little too laid‐back.

And because of that,
it didn't feel like

it got up to some
of the notes.
Right.

I always get nervous
about people being so nervous,

and that might be why
they go pitchy in places.

And so I didn't know
if that was, like, a factor.

James, I think
you're super talented.

I feel like if you came back
with something

that gives you the ability
to kind of show us

everything you've got
right from the jump

would be really helpful.

Good luck with everything
in the future, man.

Thank you so much.
It's an honor to meet you all.

I really appreciate it.
It's a pleasure, James.

Thank you.
Have a good day.
Thank you.

Thanks, man.

James is really cool
and had a great song selection.

I think we were all hoping
at different points,

it would get there,
and it just never really did.

But the way in which he handled
it was really graceful,

and I'm gonna remain optimistic.

Team Nick is in this
for the long haul.

Nice guy.
Very nice.

I still gotta use my block.
I think I'm gonna block Nick.

I feel like a Nick block is
appropriate at this point.

What do you think, Nick?
Let's see.

Waianae is
a small little city

on the island of Oahu.

The beaches are beautiful
around the island,

but I feel like, Waianae,

there's something
special about it.

Like, it's so pretty,

and it's really good
to go hang out and relax.

Aloha.
My name is Ciana Pelekai.

I am 20 years old.

I am originally from
Waianae, Hawaii,

but now residing
in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Vegas is known for
amazing casinos, their Strip,

but many don't realize that

they call Las Vegas
the Ninth Island

because a lot of Hawaii people
come here.

It's cheaper.
That's why.

In Hawaii, for us singers,

there's really not
many opportunities.

We're stuck on an island.
It's very small.

This is the first time we lived
on the mainland.

Part of why we moved here
is to give her

that opportunity,
that dream.

She's been wanting to do this
her whole life.

When I was 8 years old,

my mom posted a cover

of me singing
"If I Were A Boy,"

and it just went viral.

I had the chance to perform
at the Staples Center

and sing the National Anthem
for a basketball game.

♪ See ♪

I'm proud to say
I was the first girl

to be able to do that
from Hawaii.

Right now, it is hard for me
to perform in Las Vegas.

You have to kind of be like 21
to sing at places.

So having this opportunity
is amazing.

Are we ready to eat
some Spam and rice?

A good breakfast,
lunch, and dinner.

Ciana ‐‐
She's always loved singing.

She's sung wherever she could,
whenever possible.

There's a lot of soul
in there.

Family time.

She works hard.

I don't know
if Ciana really knows

how proud we are of her.

We love you.

Love you guys, too.

It's very emotional for me

because my parents have
made many sacrifices

to help me pursue
my singing career.

So for them not being here,
I miss them a lot.

But I know they're going
to be watching virtually.

‐Ciana!
‐Hi!

You look so pretty.

We just wanted
to wish you good luck.

Have fun.
You're gonna kill it.

Mom and Dad are here
to support you all the way.

I miss you guys.

‐Okay. We love you.
‐Love you. Good luck.

Whoo!

For my blind audition,

I will be singing "Dance Monkey"
by Tones and I.

This song is all about
letting loose and having fun,

and that definitely represents
my personality.

These coaches are
the biggest names

in the music industry.

I would love to work
with John Legend.

He's an amazing singer.
He's a great mentor.

He does more R&B, pop, soul.

That is my type of style.

But I would also love
to work with Nick Jonas.

He is the cutest out
of his brothers.

I'm sorry to tell you that,
but he is.

I'm excited.

and he retaliated.

right now,

but I'm hoping
your new coach

makes some bad choices
down the road...

Oh, he'll do that.
...and our paths
cross again,

and I get to steal you
at some point.

But in the meantime, I guess,
welcome to Team John.

Whatever.

I was the only coach
with a block left,

Nick was gonna really like her

and she might really
like Nick, too.

That's when you use
your block.

performance to me.

What is your name?
And where are you from?

Hi.
Hi.

My name is Jose Figueroa Jr.

I'm 34 years old,
originally from New York,

and I live in Kissimmee,
Florida.

Do you work at Disneyland
or Disney World?
I don't. I promise I don't.

You gotta have some kind
of a singing gig there.

I do not. I promise.

I mean, you're
a sharp‐dressed man.

Thank you.

My style is unique.

I try to look my best.

You want somebody
to not only be moved

by the way that you sound,

but also possibly moved
by the way that you look.

I didn't choose red because
of the "Voice" red,

but it's great
that it happened that way.

Things just work out,
you know?

I pretty much sang in church
my whole life,

and that's what made me the
gospel artist that I am today.

I've been blessed to travel
around the world and sing.

I worked in Universal Studios
Japan for two years.

Apart from my music career,

I am a licensed
Zumba instructor.

Yeah!

The way
that I teach my class,

sometimes I sing the songs.

Oh, my gosh.
Whoo!

We're ecstatic.
We're all energetic.

We're ready for the day.
Oh, my God.

We sweat...
Bring it on.

We love Jose.
Take the whole class.

I think Blake would probably be
the most interesting person

to teach Zumba to.

I don't know
if he would allow himself

to let loose enough
to just do it.

Music for me has always been
not only a release,

but also has been a way
for me to connect,

touch hearts, and change lives.

Like, I always say, don't just
listen to me with your ears,

but also with your heart.

I love working
with singers like you

that already have
so much within them.

You had dynamic,
you had range,

you had beautiful riffs
and runs.

Hopefully, you'll be
joining Team Legend soon.

Thank you so much.

You have
a phenomenal voice.

All those runs
are incredible.

I just felt like there were
a little too many of them.

The fact that you have it
means you can deploy it wisely

if we have the right strategy
going into your performance,

and I think that's easy
to handle.
Thank you.

Yes, you and whoever your coach
ends up becoming...

That's right.
I'm not presuming it's me.

Okay.
I'm just saying
that's what coaching does.

You just said "we."
Get him, Nick.
Get him.

It was hard to tell.

I feel good about
not turning around, Jose,

and I'll tell you why ‐‐
Because I'm one of

the few honest coaches
that are on this show.

I try to be the one
with integrity.

He's an honest man
with integrity.

Thank you.
That is exactly how I would
describe him.

Yeah.
They call him
Honest Blake.

It's almost like
Honest Abe.

Once we get further into
this competition,

we perform duets
with our artists,

and I was envisioning
you and Nick Jonas

performing ‐‐

Look at this guy.

The shine of
the jackets alone.

Absolutely blow the brains

out of people's butts
into the toilet,

and the toilet
will flush itself.
Oh, my God.

And I was like, "Wow, I want
to stay out of this

because I want
to see that happen."

Nick Jonas, everybody.

Thank you.
Nick Jonas.
Get it, Nick!

Jose, you were unbelievable
on that stage.

Thank you.

I cannot...have you pick
John Legend.

It will not happen.
It'll break my heart.

Aw.
I cannot sleep tonight...

if you pick John Legend.

Aw.
You will ruin
his life.

You don't want that
on your conscience.

You see how all three of them
have conspired

against us
working together?

Nick is gonna be just fine
no matter what happens today.

He is an extremely
successful artist.

But he has to split his income
three ways, John.

This is a way bigger deal
for Nick.

Don't let him down.

I'm not letting your decision
determine my mental health.

This guy ‐‐
This guy over here...
That's ‐‐ That's
a little far.

...is trying to make you
feel guilty,

and I feel like that
is emotional manipulation.

I feel like
that's honesty.

Nick is willing
to be vulnerable,

and John isn't.
Oh.

I think
that's where we're at.

Thank you, Kelly.

He's very good.

I think Jose has
a great personality,

and he's got a huge voice.

I mean, he's finale worthy.
Let's get it.

I'm holding out
for that right moment.

I'm waiting for something
a little different.

My name is Halley Greg.
I'm 29 years old,

and I'm from Seattle,
Washington.

The universe is massive.

For the past couple of years,

I was teaching science
to high‐schoolers,

but I have been
a science teacher by day

and a singer/songwriter
by night.

I was exhausted leading
this double life.

I would spend 9 to 11 hours
working on teaching,

and then head
to whatever was happening

in the music scene that night.

Performing in
the Seattle music scene,

I really fell in love
with the thrill

of being on stage
and being a part of a band

and making music
with other people.

♪ Don't ask me to give up ♪

And it inspired me to start
writing my own music

and performing as a soloist,
so I was like,

"Okay, I'm gonna take a year off
to focus more on music."

January 2020,

I submitted my letter of
resignation to my principal.

Fast forward to March,

everything explodes
in the world,

and all of a sudden,
no more gigs.

All this momentum
that I had going was just gone.

So I feel so incredibly grateful

to have this opportunity
to audition.

My family have been my biggest
supporters in this process.

Hi, guys!

Oh, God.
They're gonna have to
redo my makeup now.

We are really, really proud
of you.

You're really
an inspiration.

I want you
to go out there

and let your beautiful soul
shine through.

You've always been there
for every single

performance in my life
that's a big deal,

and this is
the biggest one.

I spent a lot of time
being a teacher,

but here I get to be a student.

The song that I'm singing is

"I'm Like A Bird"
by Nelly Furtado,

but I have put
my own spin on it,

have turned it into
something kind of emotional.

It really hints at a journey
of trying to find oneself,

and I hope I can convey that
to everyone else watching.

With my girl.

This is the most

'cause I know 100%
I can't lose you right now.

What is your name?
Where are you from?

My name is Halley Greg.
I'm 29 years old,

and I'm from Seattle,
Washington.

Oh, my gosh.
I was so excited to turn around.

I turned around literally
in the very beginning

because your voice is so pure
and it's so intimate

and it's so beautiful
and very artistic.

And they missed it because
I got to watch the whole thing.

It reminded me of,
like, Annie Lennox.

You are so intense
and so into the message,

and that was such a cool,

tricked‐out version
of that song.

So beautiful.

You use your voice more
as an expression,

and it flows out
like you're just emoting.

And it's a really
beautiful quality.

And I'm thrilled that Kelly
has you on her team

because I want to hear more,
so congrats.

Thank you.
Halley, I thought
your performance

was really poetic.

There were, like, moments
when you did less

because less would be more
for that moment,

and I thought that was
really beautifully crafted.

Thank you so much.

You're awesome.

You made Kelly's day.
Welcome to "The Voice."

Thank you so much!

Thank God there was nobody else
that was competing with Kelly.

She finally got somebody good
on her team.

Congratulations.
Thank you!

Halley's voice
ended up

matching her completely.

A cool chick,
cool haircut,

cool outfit ‐‐
total artist from the get‐go.

She is a competitor.

She's unlike any other artist
on this show.

So that's ‐‐ I love that.

I like filling my team up
with people that are not alike.

You look relieved.

Oh, my God. I...

I feel like
I'm dreaming right now.

I love Kelly Clarkson
so much right now.

It was beautiful.

The arrangement had me
on the edge of my seat
the whole time.

I was like,
"Where's she gonna go next?"

It was, like, perfect.

Good things come
to those who wait.

♪ This is "The Voice" ♪

Welcome back.

I'm ready.

Send in the ringer.

Alright.
"I just can't help it.

They just, like, pick me."

Our next artist
is entering now.

These coaches, to me,
are the embodiment

of hard work and dedication,

and I'm hoping that one of them,
if not all of them,

will turn a chair for me.

This is my shot.

I'm Durell Anthony.

I am 34,
and I live in San Diego.

Ah!

I have two little kids,

and I get to spend a lot of time
with them during the day...

Night‐night!
...'cause, as a musician,

I work mainly at night ‐‐

gigs and ‐‐ and sessions
and stuff.

I started singing in church
with my sister

and started taking piano lessons
with the nuns

down at the convent
with the pointy pencil,

you know, smacking the paper
and all that.

Growing up, I was a chubby kid,
and once I got to high school,

I stopped playing sports
and I was just about music

and trying not to fail math.

And, um, that's when, like,
the weight really shot up.

The weight definitely
impacted my self‐confidence

and just feeling like
I didn't belong on the stage.

It was just hard.

So at college,
I just finally decided,

like, "Man, I got to do
something about this."

And I started walking.

That led to just eating
a little healthier,

and then it just started
coming off.

I met my wife, Kim,
at weight‐loss camp.

We were both counselors
and trainers,

and we've been together
ever since.

And she is ‐‐
She's my biggest supporter.

She's the reason why I'm here.

He's always singing,
always practicing.

Music is just such
a part of him, and...

...he's the best dad.

Honestly.

And I get choked up
thinking about that.

He definitely helps
so much with the kids,

and as you see,
they both walked away from me.

Kim, Kaydin, and Cameron
are my world,

but they know that I'm here for
what could potentially be

a life‐changing thing
for our whole family.

For my blind audition,
I'm singing

"What's Going On"
by Marvin Gaye.

This song has been around
for ‐‐ for years,

but is just so relevant today.

We're just living in a time
where we're so divided,

but we're all
in this world together.

And so I'm honored
in being able to be

the messenger for this song.

That's it.

Hello. What is your name?
Where are you from?

Durell Anthony.

I'm from Kansas,
but I live in San Diego.

Durell!
What's up, John?

Welcome to "The Voice."

Thank you. Thanks, man.
So happy to have you here.

That was a beautiful rendition
of that song.

And I thought you really did
a special version of it.

It sounded like your own.

I love that kind of
in‐between voice

that goes between your head
and your chest voice

really beautifully,

and I would love
to work with you.

That means so much
coming from you.

And thank you.
I appreciate it, man.

I thought
the performance was great.

Song choice
was ‐‐ was amazing

and suited your voice
so perfectly.

Congrats to you.
This is a big moment. Enjoy it.

Thanks, Nick.
Appreciate it, man.

I love your voice.
I'd like to say, also,
with what John said,

it wasn't even just
your falsetto

or your chest voice,
it was that in between.

That's really hard to do,
and the amount of air

that you have to have
to sustain that,

that's incredible.

Do you write?
I do, yeah.

Yeah.
You kind of came across

as a songwriter
how you were singing it.

And I know, like, obviously,
he is a great coach

and he plays piano ‐‐
You have a lot in common.

But I would love
to have you on my team.

Thank you.
Thank you.

I absolutely love
your voice.

Thank you.
And the other thing I love is,
a second ago,

when you said to John,

"That means a lot
coming from you."

Okay.
Which kind ‐‐
Which kind of shows...

Here we go again.

...exactly
what you're gonna do.

You tipped your hand.

It's obvious.

Don't listen to him,
Durell.

He's a saboteur.
So obvious.

You know what
we need to do here?

Let's work together.

Or just, you know,
surprise people.

Well, Durell, the time has come.
Who do you pick as your coach?

Thank you both for turning.
I really appreciate it.

I'm gonna go with John.

Oh!
Alright, Durell!

Welcome!
Welcome to "The Voice"!

Welcome to Team Legend.
In fact...

Oh, gosh.
Oh, gosh.

to get comfortable.

Thank you, Durell.
You're great.

Blake's been trying to
sabotage me a lot this season,

but Durell could tell
it was just a trick

from the trickster himself,
Blake Shelton.

Thank you!

I was so happy
Durell picked me.

He has a great range,
great voice,

and I'm excited to work
with him.

Whoo!

We did it, y'all.
We did it!

Team John!
Team Legend, baby.

That was a little shorter ‐‐
little shorter this time.

I think maybe next season,

how about just a nice koozie
or something like that?

"Maybe a nice koozie."
That you can give people.

Maybe a handkerchief
or a bandana.

Ah!

I'm gonna be singing that
tonight.

Oh, no, no, no,

That was right.

Okay, thank you.
Stop it.

When you were putting the
keyboard down and we weren't

ever hearing
that song again,

but now it's back
in your lap again.

It's back,
and it's stuck in your head.

My God.
I'm starting to hate this job.

My name is Jesse Desorcy.

I'm 29 years old,
from Burrillville, Rhode Island.

Wow.

I grew up in a woodsy lake town,

so I was always outside
swimming or running around.

After high school,
I joined the Coast Guard

because it seemed to be
a great fit for me.

I grew up around water.
I love water.

We were actually ramping up
to go to Guantanamo Bay

when my whole plan
turned upside down.

I was actually driving home,
and I was going

to read a road sign,
and I look up,

you know, trying to read
and I‐I couldn't read the sign.

I was diagnosed with Leber's
hereditary optic neuropathy.

It's a very rare
genetic mutation

that affects your optic nerve.

You know, in the beginning,
you don't really notice it

because it's a tiny little
blind spot.

That blind spot expands,

so you're left with little
to no central vision at all.

I can see my hand here
if I'm looking straight,

and then I move it in,
it slowly disappears.

I ‐‐ I can't even see
my fingers wiggling right now.

It's classified
as legally blind.

I tried not to get too down,

but for me,
it was ‐‐ it was overwhelming.

I found myself just
doing nothing all of a sudden

and going from a really busy
life at 21 years old

to not knowing what you're gonna
do for the rest of your life.

I started
playing guitar more,

and I started trying to sing
for the first time, really.

I ended up
putting a band together

just from guys I met.

We were lucky enough to gain
the opportunity to open up

for Big & Rich, Jo Dee Messina,
and Frankie Ballard.

It was crazy,
and I can credit my confidence

probably to the fact
that I couldn't see

the thousands of people there.

The way that Jesse
has handled his blindness

and everything he's lost,

it's amazing the way that
he has moved on.

I believe I'm at "The Voice"
because I want ‐‐

I want to do more.

Doing music full time,
it's like I'm just drawn to it.

It's like a calling to me.

I couldn't think
of anything else I'd rather do.

Hello! What is your name?
And where are you from?

My name's Jesse Desorcy.

I'm from Burrillville,
Rhode Island.

29 years old,
and I am legally blind,

so I have no idea if ‐‐ what
happened on that side of things.

Oh, my gosh!

I ‐‐ Well, I hate that
I'm the one telling you this.

There aren't
any chairs turned for you,

but the reason I want
to tell you why is

because there were just some
pitch issues that I didn't know

if it was gonna be
a regular thing

or if you might just be
a little nervous.

But, dude,
you just, like,

rocked my little
country‐girl heart.

I love that song
so much.

Well, thank you for listening.
Yeah.

Your energy level
was through the roof,

probably,
with this opportunity.
Yeah, nerves.

And super excited.
Absolutely, man.

No question about it.

But you were singing sharp
a lot.

Mm‐hmm.
Maybe you should have brought
the key up a little bit.

It kept me
from hitting my button.

I really feel like
playing with a band ‐‐

Maybe you have one
already...

Yep.
...is probably the move

because your voice cuts
so clearly through.

I do feel like you've got
a really unique tone.

So, good luck to you
in the future, and thanks
for singing for us today.

Thank you.
I appreciate it.

When you have
the kind of tone you have,

it's very powerful.
Mm‐hmm.

It's very energizing
for the room.

It makes people feel like

a lot of passion and power
is coming from you.

Just know that you have
those tools to work with,

and if you just control them
a little bit better,

you'll be in great shape.

Thank you very much.
Thank you so much!

Thank you, Jesse.

Yeah, I think Jesse,
he's got a great tone.

If he can figure out
the pitch thing,

he should be able to come back
and get a chair to turn.

Hey, I want a country singer
on my team.

That's what I'm looking for
right now ‐‐

somebody that moves me
to hit this button.

Alright, folks,
thank you for your patience.

but when I talk,
I have a quiet, shy voice.

I am 20 years old,

and I'm from Rutherfordton,
North Carolina.

♪ All I wanna do

Rutherfordton is made up
mostly of thrift stores,

gas stations, and woods.

I'm a small‐town boy.

I've dreamed of being
on this show

ever since I was a little kid
watching TV.

I'd get so excited that I'd go
straight downstairs

and pick up my guitar
and start playing, you know?

My grandpa, he was
in a bluegrass band.

But my dad is the number‐one
music inspiration for me.

When I was little,
I'd watch him play

with his two cousins
in Nashville,

and they had a song
on the country charts.

So then I went that way,
and I ended up loving it.

I perform mainly
at coffee shops,

a couple bars,
and the senior center.

I feel like
all the old women love me.

They always say,
"You look like a young Elvis,"

or "I love your eyelashes."

Made me feel like a superstar.

The younger girls,
they never say that.

Performing in the local senior center,

that's my biggest audience
of a live show I've ever done.

It's been a while.
I need a win here.

Well, all I have to say
is good luck.

I'm beyond excited
to be here.

Kind of a little shy kid,
you know.

I think the coaches will help me
break out of my shell, for sure.

‐Oh, my gosh!
‐Get them, son.

Hello.
Hey.

What's your name?
And where are you from?

My name is Avery Roberson.
I'm 20 years old,

and I'm from Rutherfordton,
North Carolina.

I thought it was quite
remarkable how you didn't do,

like, what people expect people
to do to get four‐chair turns,

which is wail everywhere
and do all these things.

You kept it you,

and it sounded
so beautiful and intimate.

The storyteller vibe,

that was
the coolest part for me.

And your tone
is incredible.

Thank you.
I don't know
who you're going to pick.

I have an inkling,
but I will tell you,

I have won this show
with a male country singer.

I've had hits
in country music,

and I'm not gonna know
everything down there

that the cowboy
is gonna know,

but I did grow up
on country music.

Anyway, I'm a fan of yours
throughout this show, man.

I hope you do so well.
Thank you.

Blake is sitting over there
with a smug look on his face.

What are you laughing about?
Just seems so assured.

What do you mean?
What are you talking about?

You just look so smug.
I'm excited about Avery.

It's just arrogance.
Can you believe
how they treat me?

I mean...
He thinks he has you
in the bag, Avery.

Kelly said something that
I never really

thought about before.
I can't wait.

She said she grew up
on country music.

I did.
But then she walked
away from it.

No, I did not.

I, on the other hand,
grew up on country music,

and that is all I've ever done,
is country music.

I just celebrated
my 10th year

as a member
of the Grand Ole Opry.

And his 10th year as a coach
on "The Voice."

And my 10th year
as a coach on "The Voice."
In Hollywood, of all places.

In Hollywood.
In Hollywood.

He's gone Hollywood, though,
I will say that.

I do work in Hollywood.
There's no question about it.

Do you have to live here?

I still live in Oklahoma.
I mean, that's...

Do you?
Are you sure about that?

I can show you
my driver's license

if it'd make you
feel better.

My point is I am the only
person on this panel

who knows who sings

the song
that you just sang.
Right.

It's important to have

a concrete understanding
of country music

because you can't know
where it's going

unless you know
where it came from.

I have to be your coach,
Avery.

I would be honored.
I'd be proud to be your coach.

I think that
it's so bizarre

that every time we have a
country artist come out here...

Yeah.
...you say the same thing
about...

Yeah.
..."I know the song and
I know this," and you do,

but imagine if there was
a pop artist came out

and we said we're the only ones
capable of coaching this person

because we know pop music.

I get your point, but ‐‐

Well, as long as you get
my point, I'm good.

We get your
selectively deployed point.

I'd love to hear from you.

What kind of music do you like?
What do you want to sing?

I actually started off
singing pop

because my voice was too high
when I was little,

and about sophomore year
in high school,

it started growing
a little bit.

My granddad and my dad,
they both did country music.

I've always loved
country music.

That's just kind of
where I'm at now.

Started from pop,
now I'm at country, so ‐‐

Wow, so you're saying
maybe a coach

that's lived in pop
and in country

might be a great coach
for you ‐‐ just saying.

Just saying.
Or Texas who now lives
in Hollywood.

Oh, my gosh.

As a songwriter,
I reference songs

that have been inspiring
to me,

and a lot of times,
it's country music,

and I've been fortunate enough
to work with now

Thomas Rhett,
Dan + Shay, Shania Twain.

And who knows, maybe we'll be
able to write together someday

and write some country music
or pop music,

whatever you want to do,
because I don't think it matters

where you're from,
if you're Hollywood or not,

or if you're pop
or country or soul.

Whatever the genre is, it's
music at the end of the day.

You do you, man. I'll support
you every step of the way.

That's what it should be about
as a coach.

Avery, I know I'm not
the obvious choice

for a country artist.

I turned for you before
any of the other coaches

because I heard a beautiful,
beautiful voice.

Thank you.
The tone is rich, subtle,

and that's what
this show is about ‐‐

finding great voices
to be heard

by the rest of the country,
and some of them love country,

but they also listen to pop
or they listen to soul

or they listen to blues
or they listen to rock.

I turned for you
because I love music

and I love coaching
great vocalists on this show.

So I would love
to be your coach.

Thank you.
Thank you so much.

That was an outstanding pitch,
Legend.

I want to be on your team
right now.

Blake's got
something to say.

Can I say one more thing,
Avery?

This is my 20th season.

There is no motives here
for me.

I want to be able to be
on your level,

understand what you want to do,

and then fight for that
for you.

It's not about me.

I want this for you.

Avery,
the time has come.

Who do you pick
as your coach?

Oh, y'all are killing me
up here.

Oh, my goodness.

Come on, Avery!
Break the mold!

Do something unexpected.

I just want to let y'all know
that I'd love to work

with any of y'all.

Y'all are all amazing.

But...

I'm gonna have to go
with my gut on this one.

I'mma go with Blake.

Yes!

My man, Avery!

Yes!

Sometimes I feel like
those coaches' only goal

is not even
that they choose them,

but just to make sure that
the artist doesn't choose me.

I know Avery was feeling
that pressure,

but he made the right choice.

Whoo! You had me sweating
that one out.

I love his voice
because he's got a softer

yet strong voice
that cuts through,

and you understand every lyric
that he's singing.

I promise you, man,
it's gonna be a blast.

Thank you.
I'll see you soon, man.

See you.
Congratulations.

I loved Avery,

and I tried my best
to convince him

to join Team Legend.

Ha!

I want some male country artist
to break the mold

and pick somebody else.

Once again, all of our efforts
are futile.

Oh, you're unbelievable.

Good job, buddy.
Good job.

Well done.
That was a fun one.

Ha! Ha!
