[ Cheers and applause ] Man: Go, guys.

Yeah!

Give it up for our coaches -- Kelly Clarkson,

John Legend... Yes!

...Ariana Grande,

and Blake Shelton!

[ Cheers and applause ]

Alright. Hi, coaches. Hi, Ariana Grande.

Hello, Carson.

I want to know if you have a strategy in mind.

I don't necessarily have a strategy,

I just am emotionally very distraught

'cause I love my team so much.

Follow your gut, follow your heart.

Or I can just, you know, run home.

No, you can't do that. We need you.

I literally just leave.

You can buy other people's steals from them, too.

Blake, no, you cannot. Your best strategy

is to not listen to Blake. Amen.

Blake, are you threatened by any one of them in particular?

[ Laughs ]

No. Thank you, Blake.

Yeah. Kelly, we know your least favorite part of the battles

is saying goodbye to half your team.

This is my best team overall of any season... Right.

...so it doesn't really get easier.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Why are you clapping for her?

That's what happens when people like you.

I know you don't know the sound.

[ Laughs ]

Ouch. Daly: Alright, let's do it.

Thank you, coaches.

Yeah!

**

This is great.

We're so lucky to have you here, Camila.

Oh, thank you for having me. It's an honor.

Sounds like a female's voice.

I can't tell who it is. I know.

Camila: Is it okay if I always say,

"That's some legendary behavior"?

I think the use of this pun...

It's great. ...has been approved.

Like, I feel like even if they all get T-shirts --

"Legendary behavior." Oh, I love it.

I'm gonna hire you for marketing, too.

Hey. Let's go.

Ready? I didn't think I was, like, gonna be nervous. Yeah.

But now that it's here, I am a little bit nervous,

I got to say. Feels very real.

Alright. So now we've got Keilah and Joshua.

These are both singers with big voices.

Joshua sang * Into the unknown *

Whoa.

* Into the unknown *

I blocked Ariana,

'cause I knew she would like him.

Very complicated situation.

It's complicated. So she was mad at you?

Perhaps mad at me. Dang.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

And then Keilah was a three-chair turn.

Dang, Keilah. Fantastic voice.

* I was standing *

With so much charisma and energy.

I think she's 15 years old. Oh, my God.

That's the same age I was when I was on a singing show.

Oh, my God. So you'll completely relate to her.

I'm excited to introduce them to you.

I think they're gonna flip when they see you.

Sick.

Hello!

-Hello. -Hi!

Look who's here.

Oh, my God. Camila's here!

Hi! Seeing Camila Cabello was a total shock.

I was shook.

So nice to meet you.

To have these two powerhouses in the industry

helping us is amazing.

And having a mentor that is in that pop world

but also is able to be super individual is really cool

'cause that's what I'm aiming to be.

She's experienced so much in our business... Yeah.

...from being on a competition show,

being in a group where harmony is important... Yeah.

...and then being a really successful solo artist as well. Yeah.

Keilah: It's really inspiring that she started

when she was my age on a singing show.

Now she's this name and she's on the charts all the time.

That's, like, one of my biggest dreams.

I've been singing basically all of my life.

My whole family sings.

We're kind of like a modern-day Partridge Family.

When I was 12, I started gigging a lot in New York City

and I got to sing my song "Somehow" at iHeartRadio.

The tagline is, "You'll get there somehow,"

like chasing your dream and not letting go.

And I feel like this is

a really good testament to that song.

It's crazy.

I feel really blessed to be here.

We've got a really fun, big, hit song right now

called "good 4 u" that you guys are gonna do. I love this song.

I love this song. It's on my playlist.

Good! So we picked the right one.

Think you don't know this song

unless you live under a rock right now.

I know. It's quite popular.

I am super excited about singing this song.

I get to highlight the rockier part of my voice.

* Remember when you said you wanted to give me the world? *

Okay. Hey!

John: Keilah and Joshua -- they both have piercing voices,

and I have them singing this powerful,

energetic Olivia Rodrigo song.

* Brand-new gi-i-i-rl *

Hey!

John: It has, like, that drama and the theatrical vibe

that I felt like both Joshua and Keilah could do.

* Good for you, you're doing great out there *

Camila: Keilah -- when she's singing the verse,

she has this really nice pop tone,

but then she can also reallysing.

It's kind of like the same thing Ariana can do.

Both: * ...floor of my bathroom *

Joshua -- he can really belt and have

this really dramatic, almost theatrical vibrato.

* Oh *

Whoo! Okay. [ Laughs ]

Keilah: Yeah, dawg. Whoo! It was high.

Ah! Yes. You got it, though, man.

I felt that. I can only dream of singing notes that high.

I love the personality, especially in the verses. * Woooorld *

Yes, that. Like, the almost, like, Broadway-ish vibrato

on a pop song gave me, like, Queen/Freddie Mercury vibes.

Yes! The drama of it -- I loved it.

Keilah, it's so cool when you do that, like,

* Oh, yeah-ah-ah-oh *

I think you should keep digging into that. Okay.

It's gonna be great,

It's a lot of words to mouth, I know.

Obviously, it could get really messy.

We want you to be, like, emotional

and in it and dynamic and all those things.

But the technique of it all needs to come through as well.

So get these lyrics in your heart

so it's like breathing to you.

When I played Jesus in "Jesus Christ Superstar,"

literally I was dreaming these lyrics.

So they're so a part of you

that you can free yourself to be fully in the moment.

This song has so much rage, it would almost be interesting

if, like, onstage and stuff, you guys are, like,

singing it to each other. Yes!

Like arguing. That would be kind of cool.

Be mad at each other. Be mad at each other.

You've just gone through a tough breakup.

Joshua: I definitely feel like I'm being pushed.

It's a super-high-energy song,

and I don't connect to the lyrics

because I am thankfully in a very happy relationship.

In high school, I actually met my wife

through, like, chorus and band.

We gig out as a duo,

but then we're also in a worship band

called Direct Worship with my family.

I am very shy in my personal life,

so music has always been a really big outlet

and something that brings me so much joy.

* Maybe I'm too emotional * Hey!

* But your apathy's like a wound in salt *

I could go onstage, and I could be that superstar

that I was in my bedroom singing into a hairbrush.

Both: * I've lost my mind, I've spent the night *

Joshua: I want to win this battle for my wife,

and I also want to win it for the people

that said that I couldn't do it and have doubted me

and said I'm not mainstream enough.

I'm ready to just be free

and just live out the rock-star dream.

* Never cared at all *

This could be probably one of my favorites of the night

if they fully commit.

* Like a damn sociopath * Whoo!

I think the more they can thrash around and jump around,

they should be exhausted by the end of it.

Damn! Energy!

Whoo!

I do not need a coffee today.

Oh, my God. It's like a workout. Yeah!

It's a workout watching, too. I know.

It's like, oh, my God. You're like, aahhh!

[ Laughter ]

I don't think I've ever coached a song

with anywhere near this level of energy in it.

And I think the audience is gonna be like,

you know, jolted by it.

'Cause it's such a high-energy song,

make crazy sounds before you go onstage

and like, "Whooooo!" so that that energy --

it's not, like, here and it's more here. Release.

And also another thing -- going on the treadmill and singing

for like 15 minutes helps with getting your stamina ready. Whoo!

This is, like, expert-level coaching.

Camila's boot camp is coming together here.

Well, this is all the legendary behavior.

Oh, my goodness.

Let's do it! Come on.

-Whoo! -Yeah!

John: This song is so challenging.

It's high. It's fast-paced.

Hey, hey! Hey, hey! So I'm gonna be watching to see who rises to this moment.

I can't wait to see Blake's face

when this happens.

He's gonna be like, "What is happening?"

Keilah: There's definitely a lot of work left,

but I'm gonna keep working.

I've been doing the song while doing different exercises

like Camila said to do.

I want to show John, even though I'm 15,

I can still perform like a rock star, yeah!

Man: Stand by everyone.

John: I'm so ready for this.

* Who got you, well, screw that *

Keilah and Joshua -- I love seeing the progress.

We talked about being theatrical and getting into character.

Perfect!

And they're really embracing that.

Yeah!

* Ah *

Yes! That was amazing.

The two of them are gonna be neck and neck,

and it's gonna be a tough decision.

I love what you all are doing physically with each other.

It's just gonna be a matter of execution

when it comes to the vocal.

I'm so excited for this performance

It's gonna knock the other coaches' socks off.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Let's go!

[ Cheers and applause ]

This battle begins right now.

**

Both: * Ah, ah, ahhhh *

* Good for you, I guess you moved on really easily *

* You found a new guy, and it only took a couple weeks *

* Remember when you said you wanted to give me the wooorld? *

* Good for you, I guess that you've been working on yourself *

* I guess that therapist I found for you, she really helped *

* Now you can be a better man for your brand-new gi-i-i-rl *

* Well, good for you, you look happy and healthy *

* Not me, if you ever cared to ask *

* Good for you, you're doing great out there without me *

* Baby, God, I wish that I could do that *

* I've lost my mind, I've spent the night *

* Crying on the floor of my bathroom *

* You're so unaffected, I really don't get it *

* I guess good for youuuu *

* Good for you, it's like you never even met me *

* Remember when you swore to God I was the only *

* Person who got you, well, screw that and screw you *

* You will never have to hurt the way you know that I doooo *

* Good for you *

* Good for you, oh *

* Good for you, oh *

* Maybe I'm too emotional * Hey!

* Your apathy's like a wound in salt * Ah!

* Maybe I'm too emotional *

* Maybe you never cared at all *

* Maybe I'm too emotional *

* But your apathy's like a wound in salt *

* Maybe I'm too emotional *

* Maybe you never cared at aaaaaaaall *

* Well, good for you, you look happy and healthy *

* Not me *

* If you ever cared to ask, good for you *

* You're doing great out there without me, baby *

* Like a damn sociopath *

* I've lost my mind, I've spent the night *

* Crying on the floor of my bathroom *

* You're so unaffected, I really don't get it *

* I guess it's good for youuuuuuu *

Hey!

* Good for you, I guess you moved on really easily *

Yeah!

[ Cheers and applause ]

I love it! Whoo!

Yeah!

[ Cheers and applause ]

I mean, they're, like, still screaming for it.

Joshua, Keilah, what's up?!

That was so good.

Girlfriend, like, the notes you're hitting, like --

I mean, you're just in the rafters,

and how you were holding down that higher harmony -- whoo!

That was really incredibly done.

Thank you so much.

And, I mean, Joshua, your range -- it's incredible.

It was actually a really fun pairing.

I did not expect that to happen.

I had no idea what was gonna [Laughs] happen.

I think both of you did a great job.

I'm gonna have to say, 'cause I even turned for Keilah,

but, Joshua, you surprised me.

And honestly, it was when you said "emotional."

I don't know what the hell you did,

but I was like, "Okay, Joshua."

[ Laughs ] It was so good. Thank you, Kelly.

[ Cheers and applause ]

I'm not sure what just happened on the stage,

but I feel like it happened so quickly,

I'm gonna have to watch this on TV

and, like, put it in slow motion

to try to take it all in. Process.

I told you guys, you're gonna blow Blake's mind.

He would not know what to do.

You fried it. You fried my brain.

I gotta say, Joshua, what the hell, dude?

I mean, that was crazy.

You both sounded great, but from a performance standpoint,

I don't know that I've ever seen anything like that.

I would have to pick Joshua.

Thank you, Blake.

That was so exciting and entertaining and infectious.

Something simpatico is happening here.

But, Joshua, you know I love you.

I'm obsessed with you. I have been from the beginning.

I loved what you brought to this song.

But, Keilah, between your range and your control for your age

and your energy, I couldn't stop watching you.

And I know I'm like the odd man out,

but I would lean towards you in this case.

I loved that performance, though, and you're both --

I'm obsessed. It was wonderful.

Thank you so much. Thank you.

Daly: Thank you, coaches.

John, you got the final decision.

Give us some thoughts before you tell us who won the battle.

You all knocked it out of the park.

It was so energetic, so fun, and as I predicted,

you blew Blake's mind.

Fried my brain.

Joshua, what I loved about your performance

was the additional little sauce

that you put on some of those notes --

* The world * --

when you sing that in that first verse

and then the "emotional."

People are like, "What's he gonna do next?

This is exciting. This is fun."

And it's really cool.

Keilah, you did exactly

what you were supposed to do in this moment.

And for you to be 15 and tackle something

as emotionally angsty as this song

and do it so well was so impressive.

I loved it. You're so good.

Thank you so much. Mm-hmm.

Daly: John, the time has come.

Who's the winner of this battle?

John: Both of you made me proud.

I felt so fortunate to be your coach.

The winner of this battle...

is Joshua.

Daly: Joshua, congratulations. Thank you, John.

You're moving on to knockouts for Team Legend.

Joshua: I am just so happy.

Like, I haven't fully processed it.

I'm just so glad that I made John proud.

Thank you so much, John. So good, Joshua.

I loved it. I loved it.

Thank you so much.

It means so much to be able to go into the knockouts.

I can't even, like, think right now.

My brain's, like, going in a million places.

Coaches, let me remind you Keilah's available to steal.

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

I just want to say thank you so much

for giving me a chance on this show.

I feel like I've already grown

like 100 times just being in your presence.

John: You're so great, and you're 15

and just knowing where you are now

and what your potential is... Mm.

...I'm so excited for your future.

Thank you so much.

Daly: Give it up again for Keilah Grace!

Keilah is a really good singer.

I just think right now Joshua has more character,

more individuality, more ability to kind of

break through all the noise and all the clutter

and all the other artists here that are all so good.

Fantastic.

Kelly: Great job.

Keilah is such a star.

I'm so mad at myself for not stealing her.

I feel like I should have stolen her.

I thought you might. I thought you might, actually.

I know.

The talent is out of this world.

I only have one steal,

so I have to use it really wisely,

and I'm waiting for the right moment.

Fried my brain.

Daly: Coming up... Both: * Heeeeey *

Aah!

Daly: ...spectacular rehearsals...

Both: * My baby knows * Whoo!

This is gonna be really fun to watch.

Glad to be on your team!

You're happy I blocked John. You hear that, John?

* If I ever lose *

Daly: ...create the most memorable performances ever.

Wow. Ariana: Oh, my God.

That was one of my favorite performances.

Thank you to "The Voice" gods for shining down on me.

I'm about to start yee-haw'ing up in here.

Ah! [ Laughs ] Thank you guys.

Daly: And difficult decisions... It hurts my heart.

... lead to big surprises. [ Whoosh! ]

[ Cheers and applause ]

That's the sound of a steal!

**

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back to the battle rounds.

Who's got a steal still?

I have a steal. I have a steal.

I do, too. We've tried.

I hit my steal button. We've all tried.

You know what? Here's what's happened.

Everyone has used their saves.

Everyone's been good

at convincing people to come back home.

The teams are really strong throughout.

I think so. I think it's one of our better seasons of talent

since I've been on the show.

Really quality voices.

I'm gonna go steal one of your people,

and then I'm gonna win the show with them.

Oh, okay. Yeah.

Blake: Remember when you first came out in country music

and you were having hits? Dierks: Yeah.

And then you broke your stupid leg.

Blake: Then you had to, like, win awards... Yeah.

...like, limp up to the stage and... What?

...that's a part of what I think made you a star

is people felt sorry for you.

[ Laughs ] You know?

Blake: You realize that?

[ Both laugh ]

Is this good? Marker.

Dierks: Carson and Clint.

I feel like Carson is, like, right down your alley.

Comes from the bluegrass world.

It's great for "The Voice," man. Yeah.

I hear he's a great fiddle player, too.

And Clint -- you can tell he's a guy

that's been in front of crowds,

'cause he knows how to perform.

Oh, man. Oh, man.

They're excited to see you, I think.

I don't think so. I think -- I think they're over me.

-Hey, man. -What's going on? -Meet Dierks.

Dierks. Real pleasure to meet you, man.

Dude, I'm a big fan. I'm a big fan of yours.

There's no way that's Dierks Bentley and Blake Shelton

just sitting there waiting for me to sing for them.

Two of the guys that I look up to the most

in the country genre, for sure.

Congratulations. Thank you.

You got married. Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

Can you believe that? Did you guys get invited?

I do that all the time. I didn't get invited.

I missed the -- I missed the invite.

Sent it by way of pigeon.

You can still give me the gift.

Oh, um, it was this beautiful cup --

Yeah, this is -- this is a nice paperweight.

That's a hockey puck. I know what that is.

Oh, man, I'm so excited to hear you guys play,

just two guys up there with guitars. Oh, man, appreciate it.

Clint, I love your "Brown Eyed Girl."

* We used to sing? *

* Sha-la-la, la-la, la-la *

* La-la, la la tee-da *

Congratulations, man. Welcome to Team Blake.

Clint: I am excited to work with Blake.

He's been in the country game for a long time.

Team Blake! Whoo!

It'll be a huge help for me

because I want to outdo myself every time I get on the stage.

Carson, your voice, man -- it just reminded me so much

of a lot of people who I love in country and bluegrass music.

Thank you, man. And really unique,

and you have the same haircut my son, Knox, has.

Awesome, awesome. Strong flow, looks good.

Yes, sir.

* Living on Tulsa time *

[ Cheers and applause ]

I thought, you know, if I nailed it,

I could turn one or two.

John: Yeah!

Turning four chairs, it ended up being a harder decision

than I thought it was gonna be.

Let's not mess around with what this opportunity is for you.

Oh, my gosh. Let's do this right, Carson.

Come on.

Just based on the knowledge of the music...

Oh, thank you. ...I got to go with Blake.

Yes!

Carson: I'm really happy to be where I am,

and I'm really glad to be on Team Blake.

Looking forward to it.

You see that, America?! Four chairs!

So cool y'all doing this song, too.

Vince Gill, yeah. Love this song.

It lands in the middle of you guys. Yeah.

Someone was asking earlier if I had a big break.

And for me, it really was Vince in a really odd kind of way.

I was playing a bar down Lower Broadway

in Nashville, Tennessee.

One night, Vince walked in with Amy Grant.

Stayed onstage for an hour and 22 minutes.

I timed it.

But it gave me, like, the confidence to keep on. Yeah.

You know, Vince Gill sang with me.

It's alright. Getting somewhere.

I gave these guys

"Don't Let Our Love Start Slippin' Away" by Vince Gill.

* We've been up *

* All night long *

Clint's voice really cuts through,

and it's the kind of voice

that if you walk into a bar he's playing,

you're instantly going to be taken by

what he's doing onstage.

There's something really special about that.

* Don't let our love start slippin' *

* Love start slippin' away *

Carson could be a big superstar.

His voice has got the bluegrass stuff and the country stuff.

But it has almost like an Elvis kind of

harder-edge tone happening.

Both: * Don't let our love start slippin' *

* Love start slippin' away *

I like how he does that.

* Don't let our love * Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Hitting it really hard. * Don't let our love *

Yeah, that's cool. Thanks, man.

Changed it up a little bit. Thank you.

I'm gonna call Vince right now and ask him if that's cool.

Just one thing I'd love to see you do next time is just

don't glance the whole time at the lyric sheet. Yeah.

You're gonna have to connect... Okay, yeah.

...even beyond just your voice.

Connection deeper than just what I'm singing.

Yeah, in an authentic kind of way. Yeah.

We've seen so many young kids come through.

Not to call y'all kids. Young men.

Impressive what you guys are doing at your age.

You're crushing it. You're a kid to me.

[ Laughter ]

I'm a senior in high school at Elizabethton High School

in Elizabethton, Tennessee.

It's not a huge high school.

It's just a real small-town environment.

Everybody knows everybody.

It kind of keeps me out of trouble, though,

because, you know, if I do one thing wrong,

the whole town's gonna know about it.

Back home, we have a bluegrass band.

It's named Carson Peters & Iron Mountain.

We're a touring bluegrass band,

and I sing lead and harmony vocals.

We've been touring throughout the country, really,

for the last three or four years.

It's kind of gotten bigger each year as we've gone.

You know, it's just a really fun experience.

Anything else other than that?

I want to nail this.

All you can do is everything you can do.

Yeah. That's got to be on a T-shirt somewhere.

Clint, I feel like there's

two different singers coming out of you --

part of you that's doing the soft Vince Gill thing,

but then there's a singer that you turn into

that's kind of got, like, a really pointed tone

that cuts through.

When you sing from here,

there's a bigger tone there. Got it.

I'd try to figure out a way to live in that land

just for this song as much as you can.

I love that part of your voice. It's great.

Oh, my God. It cuts through. It really cuts through.

What's your favorite type of music to sing?

What I really love is just good, you know, storytelling.

I relate to this song because I'm in a relationship,

and the lyrics of the chorus are just like a reminder

to be faithful to one another.

Jenny and I have been together

for a little over two and a half years.

I proposed in downtown Fort Worth.

Jenny thought she was going to brunch with some of her friends.

They brought her down to the square,

and it was like a big surprise.

It did work. She said yes. Ah!

Both: * Love start slippin' away *

Clint: To win this battle,

it would mean a world of opportunity for Jenny and I.

Both: * Don't let our love start slippin' *

* Love start slippin' away *

**

That was great, guys.

Yes!

That was all us, right? Our advice?

Fantastic coaching.

That was all the coaching. That sounded great, man.

Literally, that was night and day.

That was like really great, guys.

Thank you. Thank you, sir. Sweet. I appreciate that.

Appreciate that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Blake: I think this battle is gonna come down to

whoever can put their stamp on this song.

I'm not looking for a Vince Gill impersonation.

Whichever one I believe the most

is being authentic to themselves,

that's who's gonna win.

Daly: Who would you pick as the winner of this battle?

Get the "Voice" official app now and play along.

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back.

[ Cheers and applause ]

[ Both grunt ]

Love you, man. Let's go.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Let's get after it, dawg.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Yeah!

This battle begins right now.

**

* We've been up *

* All night long *

* Trying to solve a problem *

* Hell, it's almost dawn *

* Ain't no time for sleepin' *

* If our love is wearin' thin *

* 'Cause I ain't givin' up, oh, no *

* You ain't givin' in *

[ Cheers and applause ]

Both: * Don't let our love start slippin' *

* Love start slippin' away *

* 'Cause the life we've been livin' *

* Gets harder every day *

* Now, honey, don't you let our love start slippin' * Wow.

* Love start slippin' awaaaaay *

* Don't let our love start slippin' *

* Love start slippin' away, oh, no *

* Don't let our love start slippin' *

* Love start slippin' away *

* Oh, nooooooo *

[ Cheers and applause ]

**

Wow. Ariana: Oh, my God.

That was one of my favorite performances so far.

I loved that somuch.

Thank you so much. Thank you.

Our country girl, Ariana.

I'm about to start yee-haw'ing up in here.

You've already got the fringe.

I have the fringe.

You're ready to honky-tonk.

I feel like hanging out with Blake and Kelly

and hearing the amazing country music

that we've heard on the show -- And John. And John.

And John and John and John! And John. And John.

John the country music extraordinaire. I'm sorry.

He goes by "Johnny," when he does country music.

Johnny Legend. I'm sorry. I forgot to mention

Johnny "Yee-Haw" Legend over here.

Well, here's the thing -- you both sang that sowell.

Wow. Thank you.

I think based on the fact that you're 17 --

I can't believe you're 17 --

I think I would lean in Carson's direction.

Thank you. Thank you.

I loved Carson in the blinds.

I turned for him.

And I think he's a fantastic talent,

fun to watch, electric energy.

But, Clint, you were so confident.

Your tone sounded so rich and powerful.

You shocked me, man. I felt like you won this battle.

Thank you, John.

Carson, I was like, "Oh, my God."

17 years old looking like a country Patrick Swayze.

I'm like, "What?" [ Laughter ]

I think that you're an incredibly gifted talent.

You have a really cool rasp,

and you have a really cool voice.

But to me, Clint, you did a really great job.

Your tone was really good. Your notes were really good.

You were the shocker for me.

Thank you so much.

Daly: Thank you, coaches.

Alright, Blake, you got a tough decision here, buddy.

Give us some thoughts on the battle.

People don't normally cover Vince Gill songs.

You know, that's kind of one that you avoid.

Thank you guys for working so hard on this thing.

Clint has a soulful R&B-type sound to his voice

that he blends with country music,

you know, with his vibrato and stuff,

and it's just really warm and sounds cool. Maybe that's why he stood out in this, though,

'cause Vince has that.

Vince also has the bluegrass stuff, you know.

Carson, it kind of brought out

more of a rock edge that I didn't expect.

I figured it'd be more

down-the-middle sound like Vince Gill

and found out that a whole other different sound

that Carson has that he implemented into the song.

I saw two totally different things

than I thought I would, and I love both of them.

You guys stepped up to the plate and did it, so thank you.

Great job.

This is a tough one here for you, Blake.

Who is the winner of this battle?

**

Winner of this battle...

is Carson.

Carson Peters moving on to the knockouts.

Congratulations.

Blake: I just feel like Carson had the edge.

He's just got a few different gears

he can go to as a vocalist.

Carson's only 17 years old,

and as a coach, that's very exciting.

Also, we haven't yet heard him play fiddle.

I can't wait for that.

Give it up for Clint Sherman, everybody!

[ Cheers and applause ]

I love the battles because you get to see

the competitive nature of people.

So I'm looking for an amazing voice

but also a voice with character

and someone that I really connect with.

Both: * Sunny *

* Yesterday my life was filled with rain *

* My life was filled with rain *

* Sunny *

Oh, my God!

* You smiled at me and really eased the pain *

* You smiled and eased the pain *

Kelly: I sometimes get so excited when I pair people

because I'm like, "Ooh, I just want to see

what you sound like," and I thought both of you

would lend very well to, like,

that kind of old-school sound, that vibe.

So it's just superdifficult.

The winner of this battle is Holly.

Daly: Holly Forbes moving on to the knockouts!

Congratulations! Thank you.

Representing Team Kelly!

[ Cheers and applause ]

Kelly: That was a really hard one for me.

Honestly, I ended up going with Holly

just because there was something so magical about her tone

and my heart was kind of pulling me a tiny bit that way.

Great job!

I just really want to capitalize

off of how captivating she is as a vocalist.

I love Holly.

I do, too. She's so cool.

There was just something special about her tone.

Yeah, he can sing. Yeah.

Like, his voice is lovely.

That was really hard.

Blake: Oh, boy, here we go, Ariana.

[ Cheers and applause ] Whoo!

* Oh, no, here I am, baby *

* Ooh * Both: * Signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours *

* You got my future in your hands *

If enthusiasm is what it takes to win "The Voice,"

nobody is gonna compete with Sasha.

Sophia, it when you got up in your higher register,

it was really, really pretty.

But, Sasha, you might be one of my favorite people.

Oh, my God. You're gonna make my heart stop.

I love, love, love you all so much.

[ Voice breaking ] Jim and Sasha, you have a permanent

[Laughs] residency in my heart.

The winner of this battle is...

Jim and Sasha Allen.

Daly: Jim and Sasha Allen!

Ariana: Between the harmonies and the energy,

it really was infectious.

I can't take my eyes off of them when they're onstage.

Oh, I hate this.

[ Laughing ] You're gonna have a tough day.

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back to Night 3 of the battles.

[ Cheers and applause ]

I can't believe that your team's doing "Car Wash."

Why? 'Cause I never would have thought of that.

* At the car wash * That one?

Yeah!

* And work and work *

I'm so excited!

Look how nice Kelly's headshot is up there.

It's gorgeous, isn't it? It's gorgeous.

Yes.

Really?

Oh, my God, no. I'm crying.

I heard that a really good thing to do

if you're ever feeling nervous is, like,

obviously taking deep breaths,

but, like, pushing in your chest. Really?

Raquel had one of my favorite auditions.

What did she sing? She sang Stevie Wonder.

* Those days could come back once more *

My blind audition was my first step

back into music right after my accident.

* I wish those days could *

I was driving home from my rideshare job,

and I actually ended up in a really bad car accident.

I broke my right femur.

There's a metal rod in there now.

I got some screws in there.

I was bedridden for a few months,

and "The Voice" is making me feel like I'm back.

And then Hailey Mia is my little tiny. Kristin: Okay.

She's 13, but she has such a powerhouse voice.

* Now suddenly you're asking for it back *

* Could you tell me, where'd you get the nerve? *

* You broke me first *

Yeah! Oh, no! Oh!

I literally thought I was turning around

for like a 24-year-old.

So job well done. You should write a book, Mom.

Ariana: I could tell that you were young,

but I didn't think this young.

And I think you're just gonna continue to flourish,

and I would love to help you get there.

Ariana.

Yay! Thank you.

I wanted to put them together

because they both have such older influences

but are so young and ripe.

Kristin: I can't wait. And here they come.

Ooh! They're so cute.

Whoo! Yes, girls.

Oh, my God! Get out!

Seeing Kristin Chenoweth, I thought I was gonna pass out.

[ Laughs ]

I've looked up to her for so many years.

She's so amazing.

Kristin Chenoweth, Raquel, Hailey Mia.

Hi. Hi, honeys. Oh, my God.

I freaked out. Like, I internally freaked out.

I was so in awe.

She's been singing your praises before y'all came.

Oh, no, we were listening.

Stop. No, you were not. Sorry. Yeah.

Group hug, girl. No fair being so tall.

Excuse me. I'm coming in. I need to be a part of this.

Hailey: Oh, my God, the group hug!

It was a very good way to kick off rehearsal.

How do you feel about song selection?

Love it. It's so cool.

I was so, like, happily surprised.

We were talking about the Rose Royce original

that we wanted to take as far as, like, arrangement,

but also bring some of the vocal...

Prowess. Yeah, and showing as much as we can

of both of your gifts as possible

from the Christina version.

I love you. I love you more.

* Ooh, ooh *

* You might not ever get rich *

Kristin: Hailey, her voice is reminiscent

of a young Amy Winehouse, Adele.

Both: * At the car wash *

Whoo! Whoo! Ah!

* I'm working at the car wash *

* Hey, hey, hey *

Kristin: Raquel -- I wish

that I could always have the confidence

and the fun that she exudes.

Sometimes I get, again, in my head.

But, man, she didn't.

She was out there, and she had fun.

And I thought, "Kristin, let this be a lesson to you."

Oh, my God! Okay.

[ Laughter ]

Oh, thank you.

[ Laughs ]

[ Laughs ]

I'm dead.

[ Laughter ]

First of all, both of you...

For real, thank you.

You both are insane.

You guys can do anything.

Hailey, you are doing such a gorgeous job

singing what was written.

But I do want to hear some more of your voice.

[ Sings high notes ]

Can you live there? I think...

Yes, you can.

That note for you is comfortably there.

Uh-huh. Don't be afraid of it.

Hold it. It feels like you have more to say,

and we're trying to pull it out a little bit. Yes.

Ariana: Hailey's voice is so spectacular.

She sounds like an old lady at a jazz bar.

But the thing is, I feel like

she's only using 60% of her voice.

Who's gonna sing the * high *

and who's gonna sing the * hiiiigh? *

I have, like, a crazy part earlier. I think --

Kristin: Yes. Let's let her have it.

See? This is beautiful, by the way.

That isbeautiful.

That's a heart. That's a fierce --

I want you in this industry.

She said, "I sang up there earlier, you sing there later."

And you have it.

Raquel: Listening to Hailey sing, I was so surprised.

Her range is so, so crazy.

I don't remember sounding like that when I was 13.

* Hey, hey *

It's okay. It's okay. Shake it off.

We're gonna own it. Hailey: Yes.

* Ba-da-da, ba-da-da *

* Hey * * Heeey *

Own it more. Ariana: More, more, more.

* Heeeeey *

Better. Better.

This song -- it's pushing me out of my comfort zone.

Being here is definitely a very different experience.

My mom is Hispanic.

I love listening to Hispanic songs,

like Selena and Ozuna.

My dad -- he'll want me to sing Selena,

and I'll do that for him and, you know, I'll perform,

but I don't really go out and do, like, big performances.

But I do gig for my teddy bears in my room, if that counts.

[ Laughs ]

This is what it's about.

Yes. Right here.

She teaches me all the time.

Shut up. I -- Sorry.

I've learned everything ever from watching this woman.

So sorry, no. You know what I learned the most

about riffing? Mean something.

When we were doing "Hairspray Live,"

you would pitch a joke or, like, a melody change

here and there and ask, "Does this add value?"

And as a performer, to me, that changed my life entirely,

'cause now when I am writing songs or performing songs,

if I'm gonna do a run,

I want to make sure that it adds value

and that it has intention.

That changed my entire life. Thank you.

I've never looked at anything the same way.

I swear to God. Thank you.

I'm eating my breakfast, I'm like, "Does this add value?"

Like, I'm in the shower, I'm like,

"Does this body wash add value?"

I'm crying.

I love you guys, like, together.

It was so sweet to see the bond

that Kristin and Ariana had.

Team Ari and Kristin. That's right.

That's my new team name.

It's a really beautiful relationship that they have.

You know, they're empowering each other as women,

and I love that.

* Car wash right away *

* Heeeeey *

Whoo! Thank you!

Whoo! Yes!

This is -- when I like it, I throw my shoe.

This was so incredible.

Can't believe she threw her shoe at me.

I'll put it back on every time again.

Threw a shoe at me.

Kristin: You know know why you got to listen to her?

I'm Kristin Chenoweth's personal shoe putter-onner.

Everything that she said,

I can tell when it hit. Yeah.

Raquel, you're a natural.

This is your groove.

You are also a natural.

You're a little nervous about the groove.

I understand,

but when you start to own it, whoa.

Trust and lean into your gift

'cause you're so talented. Thank you.

Ariana is a musical genius,

and I love the song that she picked

because it got me out of my comfort zone

but in a very good way.

Like, it unleashed a part of me that I never even knew I had.

Wow. I know.

Okay. I know.

I think it's gonna be very hard for me.

I'm gonna quit.

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back to the battle rounds.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Let's go, girls!

[ Cheers and applause ]

Oh, my goodness.

[ Cheers and applause ]

The battle starts now.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Hey!

[ Cheers and applause ]

Love!

**

What a fun song selection.

Car wash.

And you just lit it up in here. That was so much fun.

Hailey, I can't believe you are 13 years old.

It's like...

Crazy. It's crazy. [ Laughs ]

You sing with so much confidence and presence.

It's just ridiculous. Congratulations.

Thank you so much.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Raquel, you're just full of color and energy.

It was, like, hard not to watch you because you put on a show.

Your voice is so cool. I love your tone.

I love how there's, like, this little scratch in it.

It's very pop-friendly,

but it also has this little, like, edge to it, too.

You just have a level of polish

and professionalism in your voice.

I would side with Raquel in this if I were to choose.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Kelly: Hi, ladies. Hi.

I turned for both of you in the blinds.

I adore both of you.

Raquel, I love your vibe. Thank you.

You could sing any pop song, but you make it even cooler.

You've just got a really rad voice.

But I will say my surprise today was Hailey.

There's something that's just super kind of magical

about the fact that you're 13 and you just did that.

Thank you. You're a really gifted singer.

With power and with how you do your runs,

I was just like, "What?!"

I think that there's a path for both of you on the show.

They're both really, really good.

Thank you.

This is a tough one. I love both of your voices.

You know, with Hailey, I feel like

there is still some development.

I mean, obviously, she's 13.

From a coaching standpoint, that's interesting,

'cause you can get in there and you can help effect change.

And then with Raquel, I mean, she's ready right now.

Like, you could say, "Okay, we're going to lives tomorrow,

pick -- pick a damn song,"

and I guarantee you she will and she'll be ready.

And -- And that's exciting, too.

Daly: Thank you, coaches.

Alright, Ariana, before the final decision,

give us your thoughts.

Raquel, from the blind auditions,

you've been one of my favorite performers

and voices.

And, Hailey, you were able to push yourself

outside of your comfort zone

and grow so much.

And I am floored by you.

This was not something you would pick to sing.

I don't think you're a pop girl in this way,

but you have the soul to pull it off, and you really did.

That's why I wanted to challenge you with it.

And that, to me, is a sign that you're here

in this musical world as a performer to stay forever.

I love and adore you both so much.

Ariana, tough decision.

Who is the winner of this battle?

**

The winner of this battle...

**

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back.

Ariana, tough decision.

Who is the winner of this battle?

The winner of this battle...

**

is Raquel.

Raquel Trinidad will move on to the knockouts representing...

Ariana: I'm really proud of Hailey Mia,

but I had to pick Raquel

because I think she did so beautifully today,

and I feel like I'm the right coach for her.

We do have a lot of the same influences

and stylistic similarities.

She is so talented.

Coaches, let me remind you that Hailey is available to steal.

Hailey, anything you want to say to your coach --

We've got a steal!

Kelly Clarkson uses her one and only steal.

They just stole her. I'm so happy. [ Laughs ]

Whoa! Nobody's happier than your coach, Ariana.

Whoo! Thank God! I'm sorry.

I did not plan on using my steal here.

But you came out, and I was like, "What?"

You're really gifted.

I feel like I would be a really good coach for you.

And I've navigated a competition before,

but not -- I said "navigate," that's right. Drink up.

Go ahead. Go ahead. Drink up. Drink up.

I'm very excited to have you on my team.

I was 19, you know, when I was in her shoes.

Daly: Kelly steals Hailey.

At 13? That was so impressive to me.

So good!

I had to steal Hailey because she's undeniably gifted.

Thank you. I love you.

Ariana: I'm so thankful.

I feel like Kelly will do such a beautiful job

taking her to the next step.

I'm so excited.

I don't have a jacket yet. I'm gonna get you a jacket.

Thank you so much. I loved you in the blinds.

You were really remarkable in the battles, though.

I'm so excited Thank you. Oh, my gosh!

Jason: I moved to Nashville at 21.

My first single didn't come out until I was 28.

Wow. See, I love that, though,

because it's always about being persistent.

It's a lot of artists' stories that I know.

Right. Well, next up, we have Gymani.

She's amazing.

* I wanna love me *

She's kind of like soulful R&B/pop.

* The way, the way you love me *

She goes places vocally I would never think to go.

I love that about her.

Aaron... * And I *

...he is so smooth.

* Remember every time *

His tone is really cool.

They're both four-chair turns,

so everybody wanted them.

Kelly: It's, like, silly.

I can already hear everybody making fun of me

about putting two four-chair turns together,

but I thought, "Man,

I think they're gonna sound really good together."

Oh, I love the hat.

Hi! This is Jason Aldean.

Gymani: I saw Jason Aldean.

He's a Macon, Georgia, native.

He's a writer, a producer, knows how to move a crowd.

I can't believe it. I'm working with two superstars today.

Somebody wake me up. Pinch me, please.

I haven't heard you all since the blinds.

So I literally did stalk both of you online,

and I didn't know you play, like, several instruments. Yeah.

Aaron: When I was about 7 or 8,

I basically created my own drum set with chopsticks.

Fast-forward to now, play drums, keys, guitar, bass.

But my first time performing for a real audience,

I threw up twice backstage. [ Laughs ]

Coming to "The Voice" and getting a four-chair turn

was almost like an out-of-body experience.

I am ecstatic to work with Kelly.

I think this was the song that kind of made me curious

to see where you would take it.

I gave them "Working" by Tate McRae and Khalid.

I love this song, and I thought it was just a really cool vibe,

and I loved that it was already a duet.

* Well, we've always had good conversations *

Gymani: I love the song that Kelly gave us.

It's fun. It's interactive.

Me and my partner, we mesh good together.

* I don't mean to be rude * * I don't mean to be rude *

* Still got a thing for you * I absolutely love Aaron.

Dude knows how to take a song and tell the story.

* No * Both: * We're not working *

Gymani: I relate to the song because when I found out

I was pregnant, I was in a very toxic relationship.

It's hard being a single mom, but I still had hope.

I had to become a hustler.

I started this local kind of jam session called Groove Lounge,

and I would do weddings, private events,

making sure I work hard

so my children have a stable home.

Both: * I'm not perfect, no *

Jason: I was pretty blown away by both of those guys.

* We're not working, working *

Gymani, she's got some pipes for sure.

And Aaron, when he wants to step out,

he is really, really fun to watch.

Both: * Working, no *

Oh, my God!

I just totally caught myself,

like, singing with y'all, adding parts.

I was like * Oh, oh, oh, oh *

I was like your background singer.

Butter. That's butter, yeah.

It was so good.

Truly a battle, and you making her sound great.

She's doing the same for you.

It's like you guys both sound killer together.

This is gonna be really fun to watch, for sure.

Aaron: I'm hanging out rehearsing

with theKelly Clarkson and theJason Aldean.

There was that happening in real time

while trying to, like, listen.

Once you start with the smoothness

in the beginning, it's cool,

but then you got to kind of stay a little bit elevated.

* No more leading you on *

[ Vocalizes ]

* No more leading you on *

* No more leading you on *

Anytime you can flip the switch like that

and go to that stuff, do it. Whoo!

* So wrong * * Ohhh *

Yeah, okay. Okay.

If she's singing and you're doing the harmony with her,

make sure that meshes well.

But if you have a chance to step out on your own,

like, take advantage of those situations.

Okay. Aaron is pretty impressive,

but I feel like he's still got some cards up his sleeve

that he hasn't shown.

On the first verse,

if you're coming in at all to where it feels like

to where we can't hear you, I think it'd be cool

if you played with like a third above that.

* Well, we've always had good conversations *

* We've always had good conversations *

Okay, yeah. In a studio,

you better sing those lows. Aaron: Mm-hmm. Yep, right.

Like, those lows are so beautiful.

It's just in this live competition setting,

wherever you can play...

* We've always had good conversations *

* Or we used to *

* But I haven't been serious since high school *

* Maybe I'm the one to blame *

Aaron: Gymani has, like,

this perfect mix of rasp and range.

It's amazing. Every rehearsal that we've had together,

it's pushed me, it's pushed me as a singer.

Whoo! * We're not working *

I want to win this battle extremely bad [Chuckles]

so I'm definitely gonna have to bring my "A" game.

What?!

Oh, my gosh.

That was so good.

It was just playful, and it's like

you're telling a story, and honest to God,

it's like it's y'all's song.

They were both feeling the song.

They had a good time.

And I love the dancing.

Really owning the stage, playing with the crowd

that isn't even there. Super proud.

Goal accomplished.

I can't wait for everybody to see it

and feel it and hear it.

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back to the battles.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Let the battle begin.

**

Hey!

* It's a feeling that I can't explain *

* That I miss you more when I'm away *

* Oh, whoa *

* Swear I've been *

Both: * Counting the days *

* But when you're here, I think I need some space *

* Well *

* We've always had good conversations *

Get it! * Or we used to *

* But I haven't been serious since high school *

* Maybe I'm the one to blame *

Both: * Ooo, ohh *

* But in real life, it's not the same *

* No *

* But when I'm working *

* Yeah *

* You're the only one that I want *

* But we're not working *

* No, no *

* I told you from the start *

* I'm not perfect, no *

* That's why you like me so much *

* But we're not working *

* We're not working *

* No, no *

* Ba da da, da da da *

* Ba da da, da da da *

* We're not working, working, no *

* Ba da da, da da da *

* Ba da da, da da da *

* We're not working, working, no *

* Now, oh *

* I don't mean to be rude * * Don't mean to be rude *

* Still got a thing for you *

* I gotta tell the truth *

* Oh *

* No more leading you on *

* That's wrong *

* So wrong *

* When I'm working *

* When I'm working, no *

* You're the only one that I want *

* But we're not working *

* Baby, we're not working *

* I told you from the start *

* I'm not perfect, no *

* That's why you like me so much *

* But we're not working *

* Working *

* No, no, no *

* Ba da da, da da da *

* Ba da da, da da da *

* We're not working, working, no *

* No *

* Ba da da, da da da *

* Ba da da, da da da *

* We're not working, working, no *

[ Cheers and applause ]

**

Yes. Yes, yes, yes.

**

Oh, my God!

Man, great job to both of you, and, Aaron,

I feel like that's probably more of a challenge for you,

and I feel like you had opportunities

that you could have taken the easy way out

as far as, like, maybe switching

into some falsetto thing, but you didn't.

Yeah. You chose to go full voice for your bigger moments.

And they sounded like they pushed you

as far as you could go, but, man, you went there,

and I respect you for that, man. Thank you.

And then, Gymani, I mean...

jiminy. [ Laughs ] [ Cheers and applause ]

So good. I mean, it's unbelievable.

I mean, you're so talented, and even though I feel like

Aaron did everything he could,

I probably would still be going with Gymani here.

Thank you.

[ Cheers and applause ] Thank you.

Oh, my God, I love you both so much.

I adore your voices. Aaron, I love your tone.

It has this really cool texture that's so whispery and warm

and so exciting when you really get up there.

I loved it so much. Thank you.

Gymani, I think you make it very hard

for anybody to sing with you.

I think you're so gifted. It's so special.

And while I think you both complemented each other

really beautifully here,

I think I would also have to give it to Gymani.

But I adore you both * so much *

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Both of you are just truly excellent singers.

You're both really fun to watch.

Gymani's voice just is so powerful,

so electric, cuts through so beautifully and soulfully,

and she can just really sing.

But I think your voice is really, really, really good.

The tone is really good. Thank you, thank you.

Your control is really good. You were fantastic.

And both of you are just fantastic singers.

Thank you. Daly: Thank you, coaches.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Alright, Kelly, you got the final decision.

Give us some thoughts on the battle first.

I had so much fun.

I think that that is the most beautiful thing about music

is that when you're so infectious

and you're so captivating as artists

that everybody feels like they're a part of it.

Yeah. Kelly: And you both elevate each other.

Because, Gymani, you do have this amazing, powerful voice.

It's so stunning and it's beautiful. Thank you.

And then, Aaron, I think the sincerity, the intimacy,

the level of artistry you bring,

it's a beautiful gift, as well.

I paired you both because I thought

it would sound incredible.

Turns out I was right.

I would love both of your records.

I would come to both of your concerts.

It sucks because, you know, then I go,

"I wish I wouldn't have put y'all together," you know,

because I don't want to lose one of you.

Kelly, who is the winner of this battle?

It hurts my heart.

**

The winner of this battle is Gymani.

Gymani, congratulations.

You're moving on to the knockouts

representing Team Kelly.

Kelly: I went with Gymani 'cause I think there's just something

a little extra special about her tone.

She's kind of a chameleon vocalist,

so I'm pretty excited to see

what she's gonna do in the knockouts.

Thank you! Great job! Great job.

Gymani: I'm glad she picked me.

I am super excited to keep working with Kelly.

And it's nothing but up.

Coaches, let me remind you that Aaron is available to steal.

Aaron, anything you'd like to say to Coach?

You're amazing.

The notes, everything that you gave me

is everything that I needed to continue to grow as an artist.

So thank you guys so much.

Everyone in the world stalk him online right now.

Give it up for Aaron Hines, ladies and gentlemen.

[ Cheers and applause ]

I thought you might have stolen him.

He sounded amazing.

It's my first battle rounds,

and I'm looking for somebody who is an amazing vocalist

but also has a clear point of view.

Oh, man. I'm waiting for the right moment.

I like his tone a lot. I know he's, like, really talented,

but she's so special.

Yeah. She deserves it all the way.

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back.

You got to be freezing, kiddo.

Even I'm kind of chilly.

Really? You got your heater on on that?

Oh, no. Should I put it on?

What if my beads melt?

[ Laughs ]

Hopefully it don't get that hot.

Thanks for being here. Thanks, Mr. Johnny.

Yes. Can I call you --

You can call me Johnny.

Okay, I like it. My mama calls me Johnny.

Really? Chrissy does, too, sometimes.

I just like nicknames for people.

What's your nickname? My mom calls me "Camilica."

Okay.

Hello, Sabrina, Jack.

Oh, my God. Hello. Look who's here.

Hi! Nice to meet you.

We walk in and I'm like, "Oh, my God,

it's Camila Cabello."

Hello. Nice to meet you.

Camila Cabello is extremely popular.

She's an icon right now.

You know, she's on the radio all the time.

Are you from Portugal or Brazil?

I was born here. My family's from Brazil.

Oh, I love Brazil.

It is encouraging as another Latina and female

to see, like, she made it, and it serves as a drive,

and I'm so excited to work with her.

What did you grow up listening to or, like,

what do you like singing?

I honestly never sang too much Brazilian.

When I went onstage and I sang "Garota de Ipanema"...

* Ah*

* Por que tudo e tao triste*

[ Cheers and applause ]

I was scared to sing in Portuguese,

but it was important to represent my culture

and to be different.

Taking that risk was worth it

because John turned his chair.

Growing up in a Brazilian community

and a Brazilian home,

like, my parents were raised in Brazil, right?

So they were taught macho and girls wear pink,

boys wear blue.

That made me feel like I'm not normal.

So it was hard to come out at 22 and accept myself.

But now I have a wonderful relationship with my fiancée.

We have a beautiful family. We're super happy.

I was always a big dreamer.

But did I ever really think I'd be in a room

with John Legend and Camila Cabello?

No, no, I did not.

I'm so excited to work with both of you,

and I really love this Taylor Swift song "Cardigan." Me too.

I grew up listening to a lot of folk stuff.

Cool. And listening to this song,

I love, like, the storytelling aspect

and I really appreciate, like, the songwriting behind it.

The song I gave Sabrina and Jack is "Cardigan" by Taylor Swift.

I thought it would be a good meeting

in the middle of their styles.

It could be intimate.

They could be great storytellers and connect.

* But I knew you *

I love Sabrina's voice. It's unique.

And no one sounds like her on my team.

That was gorgeous. I love hearing her

sing something that's kind of a cool blend of folk

and pop and rock and putting her edge on it.

* And when I feel like I was *

Jack is so cool. I think he embraces

that singer/songwriter vibe,

and his voice is rich and smooth,

and it really connects to the material.

It has emotion. It has heart.

And it sounds really good.

Camila: Hey! Yes. Gorgeous, gorgeous.

Come on. We're trying to go up an octave for the bridge.

Okay. It scares me, but I've worked all --

like, for like hours last night.

Okay. Just over and over again.

We'll figure it out. Just find your place in it.

Okay. Yeah. Find your approach to it that works for you.

So many people starting out, like,

maybe don't have confidence

in their falsetto or high ranges,

but the more that you do it,

the more, like, 10 years from now,

you're gonna be like, "Oh, I can't believe I thought

I couldn't hit that note. Like, I --"

I didn't do falsetto when I was younger.

I didn't really, like, think

that that was a powerful part of my voice.

Yeah. And you just have to kind of develop the confidence

to be able to do those things.

I know you're a relatively inexperienced performer.

Yeah. But now's a good time

to start trying to push yourself. Yeah.

Jack: I've actually never had a vocal lesson,

so to have such top-tier advice

from such iconic artists, telling me, like,

"No, you can go higher or, no, you can do this

with your voice," like, it was really, really cool.

* They call the rising sun *

The blind auditions was quite an experience

just because it was my first official performance,

and then I have two of the most famous people

in the music business fighting over me.

Like, this is so crazy.

You can't go wrong either way,

but you can go more right one way.

I have five siblings. I'm number five out of six.

I shared a room with my older brother Alex

pretty much my whole childhood,

and so I grew up listening to all the music he liked,

which was Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash and The Beatles,

and it gave me this appreciation

for the literary aspect of music,

things that you can relate with on a deeper level.

After listening to "Cardigan," it was like,

"Oh, wow, this is more meaningful than I would expect."

One of the lines is, "When you're young,

they assume you know nothing."

So to have that kind of mentality of, like, rising above

like, "I can do more than what you think

an 18-year-old could do."

So I think it kind of resonates with me on that level.

* But I knew you *

* Dancing in your Levi's *

Camila: I think that this one is a tricky song

because it's such a personal, storyteller,

singer/songwriter kind of song,

and you have Sabrina that has this big, powerful voice

and Jack that is kind of learning

to be comfortable singing these kind of higher notes.

But I think if they can make this song their own more,

I think it'll be really good.

Come on. John: Beautiful.

That's so cool. Whoo!

So you have the notes. You think so?

Oh, my God, yeah. You have the notes on the --

On that top end of your chest voice is really nice.

Thank you. But on that harmony,

I think you should go to the next note up

instead of * back to me *

I want you * Me *

* You come back to me *

Yeah. Whoo!

It'll sound much cooler. Yeah, I love that.

And, oh, I love that, like, rock edge of your voice.

Little crackles you have on the top of your voice.

That's your secret weapon. Not so secret.

[ Laughs ] I love that you're saying

every word with so much conviction.

And I love when you were singing the chorus

that there's so much power and soul.

I would say maybe in the verse, like,

try to change your dynamic a little bit

so it's like, "Mm," and then all my power.

Okay. Because I think that will make it really interesting.

Throw it off a little more,

like, make it more conversational

and not over-singing it, you know? Okay.

Sabrina: I'm feeling way more confident after the rehearsal.

I'm gonna work on making it more like a story,

which is gonna bring a new taste to the song.

Camila: You guys should both feel super confident

because you sound amazing. John: Yeah.

Honestly, to get advice from John and Camila

and to even have them hear me sing was very helpful.

And they're the perfect pair to make me grow as an artist

and to to lead me to where I should be.

The key is going to be embracing the emotion of the song,

thinking about the lyric even more, and, like, getting in it,

living in it, and so if you approach the song

with that level of confidence

and embracing of the emotion of the song,

if you give us all of that, it's gonna be so beautiful

and so effective, and I can't wait to hear it.

John: These two singers are very different,

but I have to believe that I can depend on them

to go out there and deliver.

So both of them have the ability to deliver,

but we're gonna see, when it comes time for the battle,

who steps up to the plate.

It's amazing. You guys should feel so good.

It's amazing. Thank you so much, guys.

Alright. Thank you. Great job, guys.

Thank you. Team Legend, hey!

Legendary behavior. [ Laughs ]

I love it. Other way.

[ Laughs ]

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back to battles at Universal Studios Hollywood.

[ Cheers and applause ]

This battle begins right now.

**

* Vintage tee, brand-new phone *

* High heels on, cobblestones *

* When you are young, they assume you know nothing *

[ Cheers and applause ]

* Sequin smile, black lipstick *

* Sensual politics *

* When you are young, they assume you know nothing *

Wow with that tone.

* But I knew you dancing in your Levi's *

* Drunk under a street light, I *

* And I knew you, hand under my sweatshirt *

* Baby, kiss it better, right *

* And I felt like I was an old cardigan *

* Under someone's bed *

* You put me on and said I was your favorite *

Her tone!

* A friend to all is a friend to none *

* Chase two girls, lose the one *

* When you are young, they assume you know nothing *

* Whoa-whoa-whoa *

* But I knew you'd linger like a tattoo kiss *

* I knew you'd haunt all of my what-ifs *

* The smell of smoke would hang around this long *

* 'Cause I knew everything when I was young *

* Oh, I knew I'd curse you for the longest time *

* Chasing shadows in the grocery line *

* Yeah, I knew you'd miss me once the thrill expired *

* And you'd be standing in my front porch light *

* I knew you'd come back to *

* Meeeeeeee-e-e *

* And you'd come back to me *

* Oh *

* You'd come back *

Yes!

* And when I felt like I was an old cardigan *

* Under someone's bed *

* You put me on and said I was your favorite *

Yes!

[ Cheers and applause ]

Yes!

[ Cheers and applause ]

Jack and Sabrina, I loved that song before,

but that was cool as hell, y'all.

Like, how you were connecting with each other

and the storytelling with your bodies,

not just your vocals, that was really cool.

Yeah. Yeah.

Thank you.

Jack, your voice is sobeautiful.

That tone is so cool. Thank you.

And then you got up high, and it sounded like, oh,

like your -- like, heart-wrenching.

It was really, really well done.

Sabrina, you might be one of my favorite humans

I've ever encountered.

You're really something special.

It's like you tell the whole story

with every part of your being.

It reminded me of P!nk.

Like, I love P!nk. I'm a huge fan.

You moved me in that way. I love your voice.

I'm gonna have to lean towards Sabrina on this one.

Thank you.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Blake: Great job, both of you.

Jack, man, that tone, that voice you have --

it truly is really special.

When you got up to that high stuff,

that was emotional to me.

Felt like you were giving it every single thing you had.

And then, Sabrina, I mean,

you just have this charisma about you,

and that's pretty damn special.

Your voice is explosive.

And it's also endearing and draws a person in.

So I would probably choose Sabrina.

Thank you.

That was a really beautiful rendition of this song.

You both told the story in totally different ways.

I really enjoyed the journey of your softer,

gorgeous tone in the beginning.

That's a really special voice that you have.

And then, Sabrina, everybody

falls in love with you watching you.

I think that makes it really hard for you, John,

'cause they're both so stunningly talented.

I don't know. I'm, like, right in the middle on this one.

Thank you, coaches. Alright, Johnny.

Give us some thoughts before you tell us who won.

John: Well, it's so interesting.

Jack has almost never performed before

prior to coming to "The Voice."

Literally... Wow!

...this is the beginning of his singing.

[ Cheers and applause ]

And you delivered. It was so well done.

And I think he's more comfortable

living in that lower part of his range,

and it's gorgeous and it has so much heart to it.

But you were, like, concerned

about hitting those higher notes.

So it's very exciting to see that.

Thank you for pushing me. I appreciate it. Yes.

Happy to. Sabrina, I'm so intrigued by you

because hearing your voice shred the way it does,

I want to see you sing some rock 'n' roll.

Like, I was thinking about P!nk when I was watching you perform.

And P!nk has that way of straddling pop and rock,

and I just feel like you have so much energy.

It's very attractive. It's very magnetic. Thank you.

You're really good.

John, who is the winner of this battle?

John: Both of you are wonderful,

and this is not easy.

The winner of this battle...

is Sabrina.

Daly: Sabrina Dias, you're moving on to the knockouts!

Congratulations.

John: I love Sabrina.

She's just full of energy and bounce in her step.

Her voice is a bit more electric.

I love her vibe.

It's so infectious and connects so well.

I want to see what she'll do next. I love you.

I love you, too.

Give it up one more time for Jack Rogan!

[ Cheers and applause ]

Great work, man. It really was great.

Blake: See you, man.

Alright. Sabrina is, like,

one of my favorite people in this competition. I love her.

She's so cool. She's so cool. Yeah, I love her.

I'm ready, I'm pumped. So happy.

Oh, my God. [ Laughs ]

Congratulations. I love you. Thank you.

I love the talent this season. It's one of our best seasons.

There are some real strong battles happening.

* So one last time *

* I need to be *

* The one who takes you home *

* One more time *

* I promise after that *

* I'll let you go *

This was such a treat for me.

Obviously, I've sung it a bajillion times.

I loved your approach and how you brought such new life to it.

You made me really re-fall in love with it.

Shadale, you have this approach to music

that it just feels like love and connection and celebration.

The winner of this battle is Shadale.

Shadale, congratulations! You're moving on...

John: I had to choose Shadale.

It's that star power, it's the beauty of her tone.

She gives me a little Beyoncé Jr. vibe.

I just felt like she was the right person to go forward.

Here, you lost something.

That's probably worth a lot of money.

$1,000 apiece. Those are probably precious gems hanging off your thing.

Here. Take it, wear it. [ Laughs ]

As a token of my gratitude.

Ooh, I could probably sell this.

Oh, and I broke it.

[ Laughs ]

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back.

I'd love to.

[ Laughs ] Thank you guys.

Snap! It's almost time!

Manny: I got paired with Wendy for my battle.

I did not see that coming.

Woman: Manny Keith battling Wendy Moten.

What? Let's do this, Manny.

Let's go. We got this, baby.

She is a powerhouse.

I am just honored to get to sing with you. Oh, my gosh.

It's a little intimidating.

She's a four-chair turn.

My audition was kind of a blur.

* It's you in my reflection *

* Now I'm afraid of all the things *

I remember I heard the audience cheer.

And I open my eyes. There's Blake smiling.

I got to high-five and hug Blake. Welcome.

I even got to meet Ariana.

That was crazy, 'cause I'm a huge fan of her.

Several months ago, I was managing content on websites.

But losing my mom pushed me to keep going after my dreams.

So to think that I'm here today is so crazy.

I will be honoring my mom through this performance.

Manny and Wendy are coming out. Yes. Yeah.

Manny: Hey, what if you know the adviser?

What if they're your friend?

I know a lot of people that -- You're a legend.

No, I'm a legend in my own mind. You know everybody.

Wendy -- I just sang with her in Nashville like two weeks ago.

With Wendy? Yeah, she was us and Brothers Osborne.

What?

What if you know them? I...

Give me Manny and Wendy.

Wow. That's the way it works, huh?

Oh, my gosh! What's up?

Wendy: Wow. How are you doing?

I don't even know what to do. Hey.

I have to tell you, I was very shocked

to see Dierks Bentley.

There's no introduction here. They know each other.

It blew my mind,

and Manny was like, "See, I told you."

I'm like, "Yeah, but how did he remember me?"

Why'd you choose Blake over -- Why?

I'm surprised you didn't choose John.

Because... [ Laughs ]

* We can work it out *

* Yeah, oh *

Blake used his only block for me against John Legend.

What's up with that?

I'm so glad to be on your team!

You're happy I blocked John. You hear that, John?

I'm sorry, John.

I just -- I love you, too, John.

Honestly, I live in Nashville, I work in Nashville,

so it's a perfect fit.

I've been engaged 25 years.

He's an amazing musician.

Thought about getting married many times.

But I'm still pursuing new dreams,

and he's my biggest cheerleader, so there's nobody else for me.

I've been on tour with Julio Iglesias,

Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Martina McBride.

But it was a terrifying experience for me

to try to go after something like "The Voice."

So I'm excited to represent my team leader,

my guru, Blake.

* You say I lost my sense of direction *

Dierks: Manny and Wendy are singing

"If I Ever Lose My Faith in You" by Sting.

It's a perfect song for a duet.

* If I ever lose my faith in you *

Blake: I chose this song for Manny and Wendy

because I feel like vocally

it's gonna give them a chance to show off their strengths.

* If I ever lo-o-se my faith *

Both of these artists are incredible,

but Wendy's been singing backup

for all different genres forever,

so there's no boundary with her voice.

* Hey, hey, hey, hey *

Yoo!

How do you mentor someone who has a voice like that, Blake?

Those little runs he's doing --

I couldn't do that on my best day.

And then I go over here and Wendy's like, whoa!

Oh, my God, Wendy. That note towards the end --

that's what Jeff Buckley was talking about.

That's the secret chord that pleased the Lord.

Finally, Wendy discovered it!

Dierks: Manny does have his work cut out.

He's going against Wendy, but he's a great singer.

He emotes a lot of joy.

I think Manny just needs more confidence.

When I'm nervous, the last thing I can do is sing.

It starts to affect the way you breathe.

So it's just, everybody has to figure out

their way of containing that.

"The Voice" is its own beast.

And I think just feeling the weight

of -- of this moment got to me.

You're not doing yourself any favors

by not leaning into it.

It's almost like you can't get out of the chorus quick enough.

* If I ever lose * Yeah, yeah.

I think you stay in * Loooose my faith *

Just stay in them a little bit longer. Okay.

Take that nervous energy

and just think of it as, like, anxious.

"I'm excited to go do this thing,"

and kind of lean into it

and use that energy for what it's worth.

The thing that I love about Manny's voice

is there's so much raw emotion in it,

and he's just got to figure out a way to control that

about his vocals.

Wendy, your challenge is gonna be

being the person in front of the band now,

not behind the scenes anymore.

You got to, like, invest yourself into this song

as if it was your single,

you're the one in front of everybody in the arena.

I have to get out of my head,

pay attention to the song and the lyrics,

like a real artist.

Just find a way to, like, take the song

and internalize it.

It can't just go from your ear to your mouth.

It has to go from your ear, go through your heart

that's really been broken once or twice,

and then come out your mouth.

Wendy has a lot of power in her voice,

but Manny -- he made you feel like he lived

every line of the song.

Swing for the fence.

And hopefully nobody's going home here, right?

Wendy: Yes! Look out for number one.

Don't step in number two.

Yeah. Wow. Wendy: Okay.

Manny needs a confidence boost,

but Wendy also needs to step up and be the front artist.

I'm so happy you chose me, too.

No matter what happens, I think it's gonna be incredible.

Hey, congratulations again. Congratulations.

Thank you. Did you guys get invited to the wedding? 'Cause I didn't.

No, they did. They were working.

I gotcha. Yeah.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Manny: Thinking about my mom, I wish she was here.

She was always my biggest cheerleader.

Daly: Who will win this battle?

Manny: So when I'm looking out in the room today,

I'm not only seeing the coaches and audience,

but I'm seeing her... Daly: Manny Keith!

Manny: ...and I'm feeling her with me.

Wendy: I literally am revamping my life

in front of millions of people.

I want to make my family proud.

I want to stay with Team Blake.

Daly: Wendy Moten!

Wendy: I'm terrified, but I'm ready.

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back to the battle rounds.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Hey!

I love this song.

* If I ever lose my faith *

I love Sting.

He's a sexy man, y'all.

[ Laughs ] Kelly, I love you so much.

This battle starts right now.

[ Cheers and applause ]

**

I love you!

What?!

[ Cheers and applause ]

Oh, my God!

Whoo! She wore a cape.

She showed up. Yeah.

Oh, my God.

What an incredible performance.

From the moment you walked out,

your energy was so amazing, Manny.

Like, I loved it so much.

You have this really unique vibrato

that I think is so cool and so uniquely you.

I think it's probably the hardest thing in the world

to sing with Wendy.

And, oh, my God,

that voice is one in a zillion.

Obsessed, goose bumps everywhere,

leaving my body, like, hovering watching this

from an out-of-body experience.

Like, it's unreal what you can do.

Every time you perform for us,

I don't stop thinking about it.

So good for you. Oh, my God.

Good for you. You both were incredible.

But I would have to give this to Wendy.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Thank you!

Blake, you're really styling your team...

Blake: Man, I'm telling you. ...very well this season.

That's right out of my closet. Yes, I know.

Yes. And then you give her this beautiful cape.

Kelly: I thought that's what what he was talking about.

That's from his closet. [ Laughter ]

But honestly, both of you look like stars up there.

If I had one just minor note,

it felt like you were giving very different

interpretations physically.

It felt like you weren't performing together.

But I love you both.

Manny, you were almost like the music.

You were the vibe.

I couldn't keep my eyes off of you, Manny.

I loved your runs. I love your vibrato.

Thank you. It's so cool.

And then, you know, Wendy,

you were the words, you were the message.

I've done quite a few singing competitions

all over the world. Navigated them.

I've navigated them. This is literally

one of the best things I've ever heard ever.

Thank you. You were a four-chair turn.

We all wanted you on our team.

We're all still wondering why you're on Blake's.

If you don't make the finale,

something's wrong in the world, is what I'm saying.

Daly: Thank you, coaches.

Blake, you got the final decision, buddy.

Give us some thoughts on the battle first.

Well, I want the audience to know

that when Wendy came to this show, she couldn't sing.

And that's what two rehearsals --

Stop. Two rehearsals...

No. That's right.

...with me, and this is what happens.

"I am so powerful." I just -- Thank you.

[ Cheers and applause ] Thank you guys. Thank you.

Thank you guys.

Thank you guys.

[ Audience chanting "Blake!" ] Thank you.

I mean...

[ Laughs ]

That's what happened. I believe him. I believe him.

I want to talk about Manny because Manny knew

what he's up against here.

You stood toe-to-toe with Wendy up there,

and, man, you sang the hell out of it,

and you had challenges, you had problems in rehearsals,

and you figured out a way to get through it

and get better and then get better.

So thank you for all the hard work, dude.

Thank you. Thank you. [ Cheers and applause ]

Wendy, I mean, I got to agree with everybody else.

I don't know why you chose me as your coach,

but thank you to "The Voice" gods

for shining down on me in that moment.

Thank you. I love you guys.

Thank you, Blake.

Two great singers.

Who is the winner of this battle?

**

Winner of this battle...

...is Wendy.

Congratulations!

Wendy Moten moving on to the knockouts

for Team Blake!

Wendy: I'm so glad that I won this battle

and that I'm still on his team!

Today they've given me props that I still got it.

Coaches, let me remind you that Manny's available to steal.

Manny, anything you want to say to Blake?

Man, I'm just so grateful to you, Blake,

for believing in me and giving me a chance.

I lost my mom a few years ago

and I'm doing this in honor of her.

This is a huge accomplishment. I'm so honored.

I will never forget this. Thank you

Give it up for Manny Keith, ladies and gentlemen!

[ Cheers and applause ]

John: Fantastic.

[ Whoosh! ] There you go.

Daly: There it is! Look at that!

That's the sound of steal! That's you!

That's you, Manny! Ariana Grande...

That's you, Manny!

...steals Manny Keith!

[ Squeals ]

Ariana: I'm so grateful that's where I used my steal.

I can't wait to see what he does in the knockouts.

I think he can absolutely shine in his own right

if given the opportunity to do so.

Nice steal.

Blake: Obviously, Wendy is one of

the most incredible vocalists

I've ever heard in my life,

whether we're talking about this show or not.

That was a good one. But couldn't be happier for that guy.

He deserves it.

I forgot something. [ Laughs ]

It's your Team Ariana lunch box.

Manny: For Ariana to steal me, who I'm a huge fan of

and I look up to her, I'm just so thankful.

He did a really good job. He was very good.

Yeah, he did. He was very good.

But she's crazy.

I knew, too, like, when she was playing it cool,

I was like, "She about to tear it up."

Everything in my body was like, "It's about to happen."

I just got to prepare. Blake, you're lucky.

Yeah.
