Today is the day.

There's no place
like "The Voice."

I've watched the show
for so long.

I have thought about
stepping on the "Voice" stage

since I was a kid.

♪ Find your voice ♪

♪ Let it sing ♪

It's so surreal
to actually be here.

This is my passion.
This is my dream.

Today I'm proving to myself
that I'm enough.

I hope the coaches
hear heartbreak.

I hope that they hear joy.

I can't believe this
moment is finally happening.

This is my moment.

I have never been more ready.

The stakes are extremely high.

I want to go
for my dream right now.

♪ In case nobody
told you today ♪

♪ You're special ♪

I would say people describe me

as a very goofy, funny person.

I make people laugh.
That's... That's my strong suit.

♪ Well, I will always
love you the same ♪

I get shy a little bit
until I loosen up.

And then you got all of me
and you want to get rid of me

'cause I'm annoying.

My name is Mariah Kalia.
I am 17 years old.

And I live
in Jacksonville, Florida.

Come on, Venus!

My mom is my best friend.

We sing a lot together.

She helps me say, "No, mm,
you sounded bad on that note.

Take it back down
'cause your sound...

You sound a little screechy."

When Mariah was younger,
I sang a lot.

When she was born,
I would play Mozart

to put her to sleep every night.

I had no idea
it was gonna turn into

her being into music herself.

I put out singing videos
and dance videos

on my Instagram all the time.

Some of my idols include Ciara.

I love Aaliyah, Janet Jackson,

'cause they're known
for singing and dancing.

I've been dancing
since I was 10 years old.

I do hip-hop, reggaeton,
Afro-fusion,

twerk...
A little bit of twerk.

It's fun.

"The Voice" can change my life
because I want to be onstage.

I want to be performing.
I want to be touring.

It's a little scary to be here.

I have never done
anything this big.

Why am I about to cry?
Whoo!

I apologize.

It's absolutely just crazy
to even be here right now.

Yeah. Yeah.

Ladies and gentlemen,

our next artist is entering now.

I'm here to show myself

that this is exactly
where I'm meant to be.

This is exactly where I belong,
and I'm gonna make it here.

I like that it goes into,
like, "Tron" mode,

like, the lights.

Scary.

She got this.

♪ Ba de de da, hooo ♪

♪ Don't be that way ♪

♪ Fall apart twice a day ♪

♪ I just wish you could feel
what you say ♪

Yeah! Go!

♪ Show, never tell ♪

♪ But I know you too well ♪

♪ Got a mood that you wish
you could se-e-e-e-ll ♪

♪ If teardrops
could be bottled ♪

♪ There'd be swimming pools
filled by models ♪

♪ Told "A tight dress
is what makes you a bo-o-o-re" ♪

Whoo!

♪ If "I loved you"
was a promise ♪

♪ You would break it,
if you're honest ♪

♪ Tell the mirror what you know
she's heard befo-o-o-o-re ♪

Come on.

♪ I don't wanna be yo-o-o-u ♪

Dang!

♪ Anymore ♪

Whoo!

That was killer.
I know.

Oh, my gosh.
Oh, my gosh.

Wow, wow, wowee!

What's your name?

My name's Mariah Kalia.
I'm 17 years old.

And I'm from Orlando
and Jacksonville, Florida.

You're 17 years old?
Yes, sir.

What?

I'm just, like, blown away.

Like, your tone
and your stage presence,

your musical choices
are all very mature.

Thank you.

I want to spend time
finding out your influences

and what was the song
that you used to sing

or that somebody used to
sing to you as a kid

that America needs to see?

So you gotta get down
with Team Chance.

I love my boy Niall.
No, no, no! No, no.

I've been rocking with him,
but you gotta come rock with me.

Trust me.
I would not steer you wrong.

First of all, it made me feel.

I had no idea what you were
gonna look like,

which is amazing,
which is the best thing

about this show.
Thank you.

And I was hearing
young Amy Winehouse.

And usually when someone would
do a Billie Eilish song...

Yeah.
everything would be
soft and whispery.

And you had all of that

and you had the stuff
at the top, as well.

What you're gonna be capable of
in the next few years,

if you were to
come with me...
Mm-hmm.

And we nail song choices,

we're gonna be talking about you
in the final for sure.

Yeah!

Have you started
writing songs yet?

I do.
I'm a songwriter.

What sort of vein are we in?

I mean, honestly,
R&B, pop, hip-hop, rap.

Ooh, Niall,
that's where you just lost.

Sometimes the best things
in life

are from opposite sides.
Opposites attract each other.

I do agree.
I do agree.

This whole thing is gonna be
about song selection.

Yeah.
Niall and I have both been
on a show, as well,

and it's a really important
thing to know

how to navigate a competition,
'cause you have a rad voice

and a really killer tone
that stands out.
Thank you. Thank you.

Both would be great coaches,
but who's gonna push you

to become
the best version of you?

Thank you.

When I stood in rooms like this,

I was 17 also,

and song selection
is vital here.

And I can hear them all already.

And we're gonna have
a good time if you come with me.

I'm not gonna let this go!

I'm not gonna...

Me either!

Look, I was never
in your position right now.
Mm-hmm.

I started touring when I was 17
as an independent artist.

Do you know Tems?
Of course, yes.

I know Tems, personally.

Name drop.
Boom!

You talking about Tims McGraw?

That's a really good one.

You know...
You know Tims McGraw.

If you want somebody that's
gonna take you to that level,

get down with Chance Records,
I'm telling you.

Ah! Chance Records.

You ever heard the phrase
"luck of the Irish?"

The future of that phrase
hangs in the balances right now

based on which coach you choose.

It's okay.

Um...

I'm gonna go with Chance.

♪ I be like sheesh ♪ Ohhh!

♪ Sunset on the beach ♪

♪ Make me wanna pull up
on Miami with the heat ♪

Yo!
Thank you so much!

Mariah is a star.

She had a flawless performance.

And I think it's just crazy
that she's 17 years old.

Niall really wanted her,
I could tell,

but I wasn't going for that.

Yo, make some noise!

I thought my pitch was alright.

Niall, you're my boy,
but couldn't be Mariah.

So I made these special
for the show.

And look.
Oh, shoot.

It say "The Voice" on it.

That's so sick.

She couldn't stop staring at me,
but he's handsome, too.

I'm so sorry!
There was a connection, man.

You're just a better coach
than me.

Luck of the Irish, my ass.

Coming up...

♪ It's not over ♪

♪ Yeah, a part of me is dead ♪
Wow!

♪ You know it's not the same ♪

Coming up,
more amazing performances

that lead to a four-chair turn.

Oh!

And later...

I feel like we would work
really well together.

Blake has some more tricks
up his sleeve.

Are you giving him help?

I gave him my phone number.

I just want
everybody here to know

that there's only one
king of "The Voice."

Only one.

♪ This is "The Voice" ♪

Welcome back to "The Voice."

Alright, folks, one minute.

Take a seat, please.

- That was good, Chance.
- Thanks, man.

I feel like my team
is pretty strong.

It is strong.

So Season 23,
we have teams of 10,

so it's a little harder for us
when we're picking,

but also it's stiff competition
for all the artists.

So they're gonna have to
really bring their A-game.

We are nearing the end,
only have a few spots left,

and so far, like, my team is
shaping up exactly how I love.

I only got three spots left.

I'm looking for somebody

that's just got some uniqueness
and individuality.

I've got an unbelievable team.

Right now,
I'm looking for an artist

who really sings
from their soul.

Have a really good mix
of artists on my team so far.

Right now I'm just waiting
for a genre

that I don't have on my team.

Okay, here we go.

This does not feel real.

I keep having dreams about
singing on the "Voice" stage.

I get to, like, the part
where I'm about to walk on.

You know when you dream
and then you're falling

and you wake up
before you hit the ground?

It's like that,

which is probably a good thing

'cause I don't want to know
how it's gonna go.

I could take it from here ♪

- Oh!
- There we go.

Oh!

We were 15 seconds away
from nothing.

Oh, my God.

How did you get that in?

Cheater!

Wow!

What a roller coaster.

What's your name?
Where are you from?

I'm Kylee Dayne.
I'm 19 years old.

And I'm from Carrollton, Texas.

Wow! From "Teh-has."
Oh, wow!

Yeah, you're, like, right down
the street from me, girl.

I'm like, that's right down
the road.

Yeah.
It was a really cool song.

I thought you did a good job.

Now you now have three coaches
to pick from.

Congratulations.
Welcome to "The Voice."
Thank you so much.

Kylee, I thought
the performance was amazing.

What I liked about it was
the amount of control

that you continued to have,

especially
in the higher register.

I feel like you are
a textbook definition of a star.

You're just somebody that,
to me,

seems, like, a little eclectic
and different.

Team Chance is just
all about being yourself.

And I would hope that you'd be
willing to come join us

and take us home to the win.

Wow.
Thank you so much.

I love that song.
Maggie's a good friend of mine.

She would be very happy
with that.

Name drop!

I'm, like, her best friend,
so...

You gave us everything in there.

There was, like, mad falsetto
to get near that chorus

and the really subtle moments
at the very beginning.

It was just really sweet.

I can hear, like, Florence,

and there's so much
that can be done

with a voice that big
and... and controlled.

Yeah. Team Niall it is,
you know?

Thank you.

"Team Niall it is."

Well, let's see what you
have to say. I don't know.

When you had me
against the ropes

was when you started hitting
the bigger stuff.

That let me know, alright,

this person can put together
a killer performance.

We just gotta get her through
these blind auditions

and work with each other,
and you got an incredible voice.

I'm telling you right now.
Thank you so much.

And, you know, I don't know
if I've mentioned this.

Okay.
But this is
my last season...

What?!
as a coach on the show
after 12 years.

It's time for me to go.
I can't compete

with this fresh group
of coaches coming up.

I don't have to worry
about Kelly.

Oh, my God.

Niall is already stealing
my... my finger thing.

And it's worked for him
a few times.

But I just want
everybody here to know

that there's only one
king of "The Voice."

Oh, my gosh.
Okay?

What in the world?

Wow!

Only one,
and I only get to use that gag

one time this season,
and I chose to use it on you.

Wow.

It can kind of appear like
a thumbs-down, too,

you know, if you...
If you look at it.

Oh, yeah, or it could be
a huge middle finger.

Alright, production,
bring in my finger!

I just want to say,
it's, like...

It's absolutely insane
that I'm here.

I was gonna go
to medical school,

and I put that on hold to come

and try and pursue
my dreams as a singer.

So it's, like, insane to be here

and to see "I want you" lit up
three times, like...

Yeah!
that I made
the right decision.

You're here!
So thank you so much.

I'll go ahead and ask you...

So, Kylee, who do you pick
as your coach?

Oh, my gosh.

Ooh.

I feel like
I have to pick Blake.

Yeah!

Kylee! Yes!

Whoo!
Hell, yes!

Kylee's an incredible singer.
She hit some really big notes.

Oh, my God.
Thank you.

She is the kind of artist

that a little bit of coaching
could go a long way with her.

And that's what this show
is all about.

Great job.
Oh, my God!
Congratulations!

Great job.
You did it.
Awesome.

You did it.
We're proud of you.

Here we are, the last season,

and I wasn't gonna settle
for no.

And so I had to pull out
the big finger.

♪ Bump, bump, bump ♪

I didn't have a finger.

I pitched really hard,
and Blake had a finger come down

that I guess
he paid production to do.

I think she just felt
a bit sorry for him,

and that's why she went
on his team.

If I had a foam finger,
she'd be on Team Niall.

Oh, my God.

So now that he's leaving,
I'm gonna take on the legacy

of the famous
Blake Shelton finger point.

I'm proud of you.
You did a good job there.
Thank you.

Well done, Dad.

That's a big finger, isn't it?

That's... It's one of the bigger
fingers I've seen.

Welcome back.

One minute. One minute.
One minute.

To be here is an opportunity

so many people
never get the chance to do,

and I fully intend
to make the most of it.

It's the biggest of big deals.

It's my shot, you know?

I mean, I'm sweating right now.

My name is Joe with the Flow,
and I'm from Atlanta, Georgia.

I'm, like, the only one
in my immediate family

who does not have a degree.

My mom, brother, and my father,

between them, I wanna say
eight degrees

to my zero.

Being a musician, I've been in
circumstances where I was broke.

There were times
I had to sleep in my car.

There were times
where I had to skip meals.

But if you make a choice
for something that you want,

what better way is there

of that may be?

"Oh, he's got a nice flow,"

So Joe with the Flow.

If you looked up
my name on Google,

primarily what you would see
is hip-hop and rap.

I feel like what I'm doing today
more so emulates

what I want to present
as an artist.

If I got a chair turn,
that would be a definitive step

into my full-blown career
as a musician.

This is my moment.

I want to show everybody
that I can be successful

Go with the Flow.
Go with the flow.

I like you.

Hey, man, this is terrible.
None of us ever want this.

We know that's not
what you wanted.

Just to give you
a little feedback here,

I just feel like the performance

never really got on track,
you know?

And I've never heard
that song before,

but, man, there was a lot
going on there vocally.

That has to be
a hard song to sing

and might have worked
against you a little bit.

So I'm sorry, man.

No need for apologies.
I'm happy to be here.

Yep, good man.

Like that.

Joe, it was just a small bit
pitchy, and I think, you know,

you can really go
and work on that

and give it another crack
next year,

but I really appreciate you...

You coming down to see us, man.

It seems like you love music,
so just keep going,

keep working at your craft,

and hopefully you come back
next season.

I actually have something
to tell you.
Yeah.

Primarily back home

Joe with the Flow
started rapping a piece

that I thought was really dope
'cause it felt very memorable.

And I understand what it's like
trying to find the middle ground

between, you know, melodic stuff
and, like, straight hip-hop.

It was cool to just see him,
you know, do his thing.

That was cool.
Yeah, I was like,

"Let me steal
all those bars real quick."

I only have two spots left,

But when I sing,
I'm a very different person.

A lot of people are shocked
by the contrast

of my singing voice
and my normal voice.

are really special.

I think they might be
a little surprised

when they hear me sing.

Hi.

Hi.
What's your name?

I'm Gina Miles.
I'm 18.

I'm from Paxton, Illinois,

but I live in Sacramento,
California, now.

Oh.

Wait, you have that small
speaking voice

and this giant singing vo...
What just happened? What?

Yeah.
Sorry.

Sorry.

Marker.

My name is Gina Miles.

Marker.

Yeah.

I'm Gina Miles, I'm 18,

and I'm from Paxton, Illinois.

Growing up, I never needed to be
the loudest in the room.

I'm pretty shy normally.

We were aware of how deep
and rich her voice was.

It's... It was just
kind of shocking,

more than anything else.

I really have spent
a lot of time

trying to hone in
on a sound for myself,

and I really enjoy expressing
confidence in that way.

I gotta remember
my posture, Dad.

Mm.
That's a good point.
I have, like, the...

Music, for me, started so early
because my dad is a deejay,

and I would go to deejay gigs
with him.

When I was 14, I started doing
fun little shows here and there.

I did bars, hotels, basically
anywhere they would let me sing.

I was like,
"Anyone need a singer?"

We're gonna take you
on a little tour of the ranch,

so come along.

On my 18th birthday,
I decided to move to California

with my aunt to pursue music.

And now to be at "The Voice,"

it was definitely
the best decision I ever made.

I love voices with so much,
like, character like you've got.

It was incredible
to see you get up there

and really hit those notes
with proper control.

Like, for such a young girl,
it was incredible.

I could sense nerves.

I can see you, like,
holding the mic with two hands

because I used to be, like,
barely able to go onstage.

I'd be gripping the mic stand,
holding on to the mic

like you're doing right now.

And you're gonna grow
into this competition.

I feel like you've got
so much more to give.

This is very exciting.
Well done.

Hi, Gina.
Hi, Kelly.

Okay, your beautiful eyes
were closed,

but I turned around,
like, way before him.

And I was like, "Okay,
I don't know if that's nerves

or if it's her
just really loving this message

and wanting to be
the vessel for it."

You had me in the beginning

when it was a beautiful whisper
how you were sounding,

and then it, like,
exploded in the chorus.

And I am great at teaching
vocalists, like, breath control,

bubbling
before you get out there,

like, really making sure
that you're so solid

with your vocal ability

that by the time
you're out here,

you're not nervous
because you've done it so much.

But I'm just a really big fan
of your voice.

Obviously, I've been doing
pop music for 20 years,

so I'm alright at it,

and I feel like we would work
really well together.

I also have a really cute
jacket, just saying.

It's really cute.

Are you giving him help?!
What are you doing?

I gave him my phone number.
Haven't gave him my number yet.

You are not.
You are giving him help.

"Kelly can't coach nerves.
She admits it."

He's right.

I'm not good at it.
I don't know how to...

I try so hard,
but I fail every time.

Kelly's one of the best singers
of the last 10 generations,

and she can do the vocal-ability
stuff with you.

I personally
am not the biggest singer

that ever walked the planet,
but I feel like I try and sing

with a bit of feel
and a bit of character,

and you have
both of those things.

You went for the big choruses,

but you were so amazing in
the early moments of the song.

There are the moments
that you're like, "Oh, God,"

like, you know,
when you hear a good verse

sung by someone that really
means what they're singing.

There's no better feeling.
I've been there.

I've walked through
a competition like that.

Me, too.
Yeah, she has.

You weren't...
You weren't alive, but I did.

And, yeah, whoever you pick,

you're in great hands.

Wow. This has truly been
a battle to the death here.

I mean, I don't know.

The gloves have really come off
on this one, I'll tell you.

I just didn't turn around
'cause my team is filling up.

So I would just say, Gina,
who do you pick as your coach?

Oh, man!

I think I'm gonna go with Niall.

Yeah!
I have lost to Niall...

Come on!

Gina was brilliant.

It's nice to hear a bit
of dynamic in these auditions.

Gina's got a lot of character
to her voice,

and she's gonna be
a lot of fun to work with.

What kind of stuff
do you listen to?

I listen to, like,
a lot of, like, pop.

I've got myself a team of nine
out of nowhere,

so I'm gonna have to stay quiet
for a second

until I really, really,
really like something.

Here's my thing, Blake.
Help a sister out.

I'm struggling.
Niall's been killing it.

And you're passing notes
to try and help him win?

Throw me a paper airplane
with a note, right?

But he's never gonna help me,
not even his last season.

It's fine.

What happened on that one?

I am not a liar.

It's fun to kick Kelly
while she's down.

It really paid off.

Man!

I am never helping you again,
ever.

Why's that?
I write something down
on the pad

and hand it to you in privacy.

And you're like,
"Oh, it says, uh..."

It's 'cause you're so polite.
"'Kelly can't coach nerves.

- This is a television show.
- She admits it.'"

This... What is wrong with you?

I don't know if in Ireland
it's common practice

to be passed a note
about somebody

and then read the note aloud
to the person.

Who does that?

I'll get him back.
I'm gonna get him back.

That is the last time
I'm helping that kid out.

Blake, you should call
your next album

literally, "Manchild."

♪ This is "The Voice" ♪

Welcome back
to the blind auditions

at Universal Studios Hollywood.

Y'all are doing really well.

I'm happy for you,
somewhere inside of me.

My team is filling up
very fast.
I have six.

I feel like Chance is like...
He's on a different wavelength.

I'm a visionary, man.
You are a visionary.

I feel like I'm gonna win
the show, so...

Wait a minute. So you feel
like you're gonna win?

I'm gonna win the show.
I like the confidence.

You know what?
I'm passing my chair on to you.

He's disappointed me...

No.
Wow.

He doesn't mean that.
So much.

We're gonna talk about this.

I would be honored
to take your chair, Blake.

Is the handshake official?
Yes, it is.

It doesn't matter.
He's leaving.

You know what?
Forget you. Remember you.

Mm-hmm.

Remember me?

I'm Kason Lester.
I'm 33 years old.

And I'm a strawberry farmer.

Farm's called Lester Farms,
and it is just us running it.

We are getting this field ready
for next season's strawberries.

My little brother
is actually the master farmer.

I kind of follow his lead.
We do all the planting,

covering them with these big
frost covers, and picking them.

What thing just, like, makes you
more happy than strawberries?

Farming actually does allow me
to have time to do music

because we work with my family.

So if one of us needs
to go do something,

we just pick up the slack.

We grew up on Michael Jackson
and, like, '70s funk music.

I do a lot of songwriting.

I have a little studio
that I built in the basement.

I play local gigs here
and there, like the county fair.

I've played
with Charlie Daniels.

Charlie Daniels...
He was a legend.

"Devil Went Down to Georgia"...
Everyone knows that song.

He ended up being
the first person

who let me play
onstage with him.

♪ Simple ♪

I had never been in front
of a crowd that big.

That was the first time
another artist

that I respected
showed confidence in me.

And so I'm so grateful
to him for that.

Every time I say I've got a farm
and I'm from a small town,

everyone automatically assumes
just, you know, country.

But my passion is rock 'n' roll.

For my blind song, I'm singing
"It's Not Over" by Daughtry.

This song's got, like,
that throwback rock sound,

which puts me in my element.

Alright, now, I'm pushing again.

You are?
Mm-hmm.

This is my dream.

This is what I want to do
for the rest of my life,

so getting a chair turn
would be awesome.

Oh, wow.

I literally used to own a farm

I have a strawberry farm.

Mine wasn't that cool.
Okay.

Welcome to "The Voice."
I'm very happy for you.

Thank you.

There haven't really been
that many

rockers that came out.

I probably would have
turned around

if that was more my lane,
and I think you definitely

belong in the competition,
so, yeah,

welcome to "The Voice," man.

I feel you.
Big fan. Big fan.

Hey, thank you.

Dude, I got to tell you, I mean,
just the tone of your voice,

gravelly, sizzley sound...
I love it, dude.

This is the last time
I'm gonna ever get to do this,

and so I'm putting together
my dream team.

I wanted a rock artist.

I can't think of a better one
than you, dude.

Welcome to Team Blake.
Dude.

This is gonna be fun.
Yes, sir.

So happy to be here, man.

I'm not surprised
that no one else here

saw the potential in Kason,
and they're gonna regret it.

Congratulations, man.
I'll see you soon.

I finally got
a straight-up rocker on my team.

I'm hoping Kason will be
willing to go there

with some '80s rock with me.

Team Blake is on
an absolute roll right now.

We're getting some great talent.

We only have 10 people
on a team,

and I have one spot left.

My time as king of the blinds
is coming to an end.

I'm gonna win this thing.

He's back!
I got one!

Ha, ha, ha, ha!
I beat y'all.

♪ This is "The Voice" ♪

Welcome back
to the blind auditions.

Um, this is one of my
favorite songs I've written.

This is called
"Different People."

Whoo!

♪ I ain't used to ♪

My name is JB Somers.

I'm 31 years old.

I'm from Montgomery, Alabama,

and I currently live
in Nashville, Tennessee.

I do a lot of writers' rounds.

The music that I make...

Pretty singer/songwriter
with a pop influence.

When I was a kid,
I was in theater.

I did a bunch of shows.

That really helped me
gain confidence,

as well as my sister, Somer,

who was a talented singer,
dancer, impeccable artist.

She taught me a lot about music,
so I wanted to be just like her.

Somer, when she was
in high school,

she decided to be a cheerleader,

and it resulted in her, like,
breaking her ankle.

And the doctor basically told
her if she wanted to walk again

that she really
couldn't dance anymore.

That really destroyed her.

This is like early 2000s,

right when the opioid epidemic
was, like, really starting

and there was not
much regulation.

She was taking the medication,

and she had more than she really
needed and became numb to it,

which then snowballed into
some harder and harder drugs

and then ultimately
resulted in her death.

I was in, like, major shock.
It was tough.

Really tough.

I really wanted
to honor my sister.

At that point,
I hadn't released any music.

She was encouraging me to do so.

And so I started to really
go after a career in music

as an independent artist.

Alright, JB,
how you feeling, man?
Feeling great, feeling excited.

Your whole life could change
right now behind these doors.

It's insane.
It's an insane moment.

I'm, like, super pumped

and just excited
to get everything going.

Listen, man, you've worked hard.
It's your time.

Good luck to you.
Thank you so much.

Alright. See ya.
Appreciate it.

I will be singing
"A Case of You"

by Joni Mitchell.

Our next artist is entering now.

It's a major love song

coupled with beautiful imagery.

I'm just gonna picture my sister

when I step out on the stage,
in a way, singing it to her.

I wish she were here with me.

I hope that she's proud.

Country.

Pop vocalist.

My name's JB Somers.
I'm 31 years old,

originally
from Montgomery, Alabama,

and now I currently live
in Nashville, Tennessee.

Yeah!

God, I just love
that you did Joni.

Like, we were both back there,
like...
Thank you.

Like, your tone
is incredible.
Yeah.

Thank you so much.
At any stage of the game,

I would have pressed my button,

like, if I was capable.
Like...
Yeah.

Is your team filling up?

My team's filling up, too.

Is it? I didn't think you had
anybody at all today.

No, I-I...
He missed out.
It's fine.

I know, he missed out.
He missed out.

He missed out because
when we turned around...

You know,
when I turned around first.

Do you remember that time?
Oh, I remember.

I remember.
Yeah, yeah, I just...

When I turned around,
it was even more beautiful

to watch you perform it.

You just, like,
exude so much empathy

and emotion, just all of it.

And then your eyes were closed
for a lot of it.

It was cool
because it was intimate.

I would love to have you
on my team.

I have no one like you
on my team.
Thank you.

You are gonna make it
to the finale

regardless of which team
you're choosing here.

It is a beautiful gift
that you've been given.

Thank you so much.
Welcome to "The Voice."

Thank you.

I really want you on my team.

It did take me a little while
to turn around

because of how particular I am

about hearing people
cover Joni Mitchell.

Really, I was just waiting
to hear your high register.

That's one of the things
I respected the most

about your performance
was you were just dynamically

showing us
your different ranges,

and your approach to it
was very just strategic.

I know she already said
she doesn't have anybody

on her team like you...
No, I don't know
if you do, either.

But I really don't have
anybody on my team like you.

No, wait, I didn't lie.
I don't, yeah.

Yeah, but I believe... I believe
Chance more when he says that.

JB, one of my very good friends

covered that same
Joni Mitchell song.

And his initials are JB...
James Blake.
James Blake.

I'd love to give you
the platform

to be able to just be you on TV.

But like Kelly said,
whoever you go with,

you'll probably make it
to the finale,

for sure if you get
on Team Chance, though.

I'm just saying, I'll not only
get you to the finale,

I also have like a 50/50 chance

that I've been here
and that I win.

I'm pretty good
at winning this show.

It's the young blood, though,
sometimes that, you know...

Oh, my God!
I don't...
I'm just saying.

Oh!

Kelly's lost before, too.
I've never lost.

You know what I mean?

That was actually good.

She loses like half the time.

I just want to tell you why

I was an idiot and didn't turn.

My team is nearly full
to the brim,

and I had someone very similar.

And that's literally
the only reason I didn't turn.

Seems arbitrary.
Seems like an arbitrary...

reason.
Hey!

I'm just saying, I mean...

When did you turn on me?
What are you
talking about?

When you read my notes aloud
to everybody, that's when.

I didn't turn around because
I just didn't hit my button

'cause I didn't want to hear no.

You didn't wanna hear me say no?

But look at me.

I've been turned down,
and I'm still going,

'cause that's how much
I believe in you!

Tenacity.
Tenacity.

I do not get defeated.
I keep going.

That's who I am as a coach,
Chance.

What?

Dang.
Wow.

I can't allow her to...
To act like she's not gonna,

you know, have great success
with whoever she picks.

I am. I have a team.
I have a good team.
I really, really...

This is my last thing
that I was gonna say.

Please?

JB, who do you pick
as your coach?

Oh, man.

I want to say
thank you so much...

Oh, man.
But I'm gonna go with...

♪ This is "The Voice" ♪

Welcome back to night five
of the blind auditions.

JB, who do you pick
as your coach?

Oh, man.

Oh, man.

I want to say
thank you so much...

but I'm gonna go with Kelly.

What?! Ah!

Oh, my God! I didn't think
you were gonna pick me!

Yeah!
Oh, my God!

It's a slow day for Team Kelly,

and I wanted JB so badly,
and I got him.

And I'm so stoked.

I have been so defeated today.

Well, here we are.

You have such a beautiful gift.

Thank you so much.

He has such a smooth voice.

I think JB has the possibility
to not only be in the finale,

but win this show.

You're so good.
Oh, my God.

Thank you so much.
Your voice is so beautiful.

I cannot wait to hear, like,
all your ideas

for songs and stuff.
Well, thanks for picking me.

He's so good.
That dude's fire.

Kelly just beat me to it.

I would have had him
if I had gotten early.

Once he hit his high register,
he really showed us who he was.

And I think he's gonna
be a force

to be reckoned with on the show.

Here she is.

I totally thought
he was coming to you.
Whoa!

I knew he was going to you.

She was a couple seconds
before me,

and I think that weighed a lot
on JB's choice.

I was feeling down.

I was like,
"I'm not letting him go."

One minute. One minute.

There are the doors.
It's about to happen.

What's going on
in your mind right now?

I'm so excited.

I've been waiting
my whole life for this.

I'm ready.
I'm so ready.

Alright, just remember to take
a deep breath and go get 'em.

You're gonna be great.
Thank you.

Alright.
Good luck.

I'm a bit
of an adrenaline junkie.

I love to ride dirt bikes
when I'm not singing.

Just a lot of adventures.

I've been singing
ever since I could talk.

My grandma put me
in vocal lessons,

and she started helping me
write songs when I was 10.

Oh, I love seeing her
pursue her dreams,

like the songwriting.

It's a good way for her
to put her feelings on paper

and get her emotions out.

It's... It's wonderful.
I love it.

My grandma has always
been there for me

in more ways
than I can, like, imagine.

Sorry, I'm getting, like,
emotional thinking about it.

Um, she's kind of my hero.

Just do you.

I love you.
I love you, too.

Our next artist is entering now.

Even if I didn't get
a coach to turn around for me,

just knowing that I got to sing
on that stage in their presence,

like, what an opportunity.

Alright, somebody's coming.
I can feel it.

I'm 17 years old.

Wow.

First of all,
great choice.
Yeah, great song.

I love that song.
Yeah.

I could hear your youth a bit

because your range
in that lower part,

you were having a hard time,
and it's funny

'cause I actually am a soprano,

so whenever I started singing,

the alto parts were
always hard for me. Like...

Yeah.
Like, my first single,
"Miss Independent,"

I could never sing the verse.

It took me forever to be
able to, like, stretch my voice,

to sing that verse.

Keep working on it.
Thank you.

And that experience is
just gonna advance you

to where you really
want to be.
Thank you.

Yeah.

Hello.
Hi!

Firstly, I'm sorry
for not turning.

I would not take this all
as a negative, by the way.

No.
If I were you, I would go and
work out in the alto world...

Thank you.
and really work on
your breathing down that end,

'cause you can
no doubt go up here.

Yeah.
I would come back
and give it your best.

Mm-hmm.
Thank you.

I thought it was
a phenomenal performance.

I think it's crazy
that you're 17 years old.

Like, it's insane.

I think you should
think of this entire experience

as a huge step in a continued
upward ascension of your career.

Like, keep going.
Awesome.
Thank you so much.

Hi, Alison.
Hi.

You're definitely
on the right path.

And after doing this
as long as I've been doing it,

I think the experience
of the singers

that you would be
performing against,

I think you're a year, a year
and a half away from that.

Please stay on the path
that you're on.

We all want to hear...
Yeah.

What you end up
coming up with, so...
Thank you.

Alright,
thank you, Alison.
Thank you, Alison.

All the teams are really
filling up now.

Whoo!

Thank you, Alison.

The artists are gonna have to
dig really deep to get a spot.

Oh, that was tough.

And I'm looking
for that one big voice

that fills this whole studio.

I just hate when they're young
like that, you know?

You take everything to heart
when you're that young.
Yeah.

It always bums me out
when it's someone that young.

Just, I could hear the youth.

She's gonna be good.

I'm the most creative
late at night.

But in an apartment,
you got neighbors,

don't want
to make too much noise.

So I typically
just go in my car.

♪ Ooh ♪

Take my mic, plug in, record.

Surprisingly, the acoustics
are a lot better

than you would think.

My name is Ray Uriel.

I'm 24 years old,
from Gary, Indiana.

And this is "The Voice"!

Let's do it. Let's go.

You got this.

Ray used to sing in the shower,

nonstop to the top of his lungs.

I've been singing
since I was about 7.

I went to
performing arts school,

trained my voice,
sang in a lot of choirs.

And then in college,
I kind of branched off

and started making my own music.

But then I had to put music
on the back burner

for a good while.

I grew up with a single mom,

and I have
five younger siblings.

She's working two, three jobs.

It was a struggle
doing it all on her own.

I had him at 17,

so I kind of grew up
with my kids, you know?

As a single mom without my...

There was no way possible,
you know?

I couldn't have
done it without him.

I couldn't have done it.

I was the only help
that she had.

So I stepped up to the plate,

became, like, that father figure
to my brothers and sister.

Growing up a bit quicker
than other kids

gave me a really good sense
of responsibility.

I debated on
going to school for music,

but I have to make sure
I'm financially stable.

So I've been working
in data analytics

for a compliance department,

but it's not fulfilling for me.

Most of the day I am thinking
about recording a song

or shooting a video, you know?

Appreciate y'all.
Thank you.

I'm super excited
about my mom and brother

coming out for my audition.

They've always believed in me,
and they push me

and make sure that
I didn't give up on my dream.

Well, you did it, baby.

I have to just cry.
Y'all just do not understand.

I know, Mom.
I know.

It's been a lot getting here.
We did it.

I'm so proud of you.

I love you.
I'm so proud of you.

Thank you.

Ladies and gentlemen,

our next artist is entering now.

I feel like this is my time
to really change my life

and break out.

I love you.

I got a lot on the line

and took a long time
to build up to this point,

so I'm gonna give it
everything that I have.

and I was like, "This dude has
potential to kill any song,"

and I'm excited
to work with you!

Thank you.
I appreciate it.

Do you write your own stuff?

I definitely write songs.
Originally, I started, like,

doing choirs
and musical theater, so...

Yeah, I could definitely hear
that musical theater

side of his voice.

Like, in the low moments,
it was kind of "Les Mis" -esque.

I actually did "Les Mis"
before, so...
Really?

Yeah.
Oh, my God!

There you go.
I love that musical.

This is one of those ones

Yeah.
Were you a theater kid?
Yeah, I was.

I played Oliver Twist.
I didn't know that.

Okay.
Yeah, let's go.
Let's go. Theater kid.

I actually think that song is
a beautiful song for this show.

I just kept waiting for you
to sail on it

I just kept waiting for you to
open up, like, towards the end

and, like, go for some, like,
bigger notes and sustain them.

though.

I just hit that,
you know, that quick.

And they all acted like they
were gonna press, too, after.

I'm like,
"Eh, it's too late now."

That feels good, man.

Yeah, he's cool.

Ray.

I gotta figure out
who from my team

is gonna win the whole show now.

Oh, my God.

Chance has a very unique ear,

and he's finding some artists
that I did not think

he would even be interested in.

And he's getting them
on his team.

It's amazing.

You have a coach

Yes.

Welcome to "The Voice"!

Oh, my gosh.
No way!

I'm so excited to work with you.

Team Chance is on fire.

It's really cool
to have Alyssa on my team.

She has a really, like,
unique voice.

She's the only person
that does rock on my team,

and I think she's gonna
fare really well.

Thank you!

My team is starting
to round out really well.

I only got one spot left,

and I can't wait
to, like, cap it off.

Yeah!

Chase is one of those guys,
like, he hears stuff

that we don't hear sometimes,
and I've learned now

enough seasons in that, like,

sometimes they come back
in the battles and you're like,

"Oh, my God, I'm an idiot.
I should have turned around."

I feel like that's gonna happen

with a couple
of Chance's artists.

Oh, he's...
Oh, stiff leg!

That's stiff-legging.

Oh, you say you like that walk?

What is that walk called?
I like it.

It's the stanky leg.

Stank leg.

Stanky.

Welcome back
to the blind auditions.

What's the 3?
Yeah, what is the 3?

Just a number, man.
Just one more than two.

Cool. I like it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'm gonna buy one.
I'm gonna make you one.

Yeah.

Navy blue.
Navy?
I got you for sure.

That's easy.

- Hi.
- Marker!

It's crazy to be here
in the first place.

Oh! I don't know what to do
with myself right now.

I loved "The Voice."
the minute I saw Kelly Clarkson,

and I grew up on Kelly Clarkson.

Oh, my God.

Sure enough, here I am.

I can't even believe it.

Just excited to be a part of it.

Whew! Okay.

My name is Rachel Christine.

I am 22 years old, and I'm
from Burlington, Wisconsin.

Growing up, my family
had a band called Madfact.

My mom was the singer,
Dad was the guitar player,

and I was always dying to play
with my parents

and show them
that I was good enough.

My genre is alternative,

and I love that alternative
music is so open.

You can really
do anything with it.

You don't have to put
a label on it.

My music inspirations...

I don't even know
where to start.

I love the Black Keys,
Idina Menzel,

and Cage the Elephant,
and I love Alanis Morissette.

When she was in
I want to say fourth grade,

she had a little solo,
and I was blown away.

Like, she had this mature voice

that I had never heard her
sing like that before.

That's when I knew.
Aw!

Right now my sister and I

sing at the bar
that we both work at.

But to do something on my own
is super important.

And my mom was the one
who always pushed me.

She kept music alive.

I love you, Mom.
I love you, too, honey.

So proud of you.

I would not be here
doing what I love to do

if it wasn't for her.

Today I will be singing
Alanis Morissette, "Uninvited."

This song is definitely
a hard one to sing,

but I hope the coaches can hear
how powerful my voice really is.

Let's go.
Come on.

The stakes are high, and there
are only a few slots left.

But my mom always said,

"When you get onstage and you
let that first note out..."

That's my girl.

"everything's fine
from there."

Yeah!

Oh, there she is.

You just jumped in
at the last second!

I did jump in
at the last second.

At the very last second.

What's your name?
Where are you from?

My name's Rachel Christine.

I'm from Delavan, Wisconsin.

So me and Niall will
say something quick here

before this starts getting ugly
down here on this end.

That piano part was so creepy
in the beginning.

It reminded me a little bit

of "Nightmare on Elm Street,"
you know,

and Freddy Krueger's
coming out and it...

I don't know.
It kind of freaked...

It's, like, one of the greatest
songs... "Uninvited." What?

"Nightmare on Elm Street"
has a great song?

It creeped me out a little bit,

and then...
And then you were so,

like, aggressive
with your singing.

And then I was like,
"Oh, my God."

You know,
it's like, "Ah!"

Uh, but Chance hit his button,
you know, so early on.
Yeah.

And he can hear something
in what you're doing

more than anybody else
on this panel.
Okay.

It's one thing to be
competitive on this show.

It's another thing
to stand out of the way

when you know something's right.

And I think you and Chance
together is incredible.
Oh, my gosh.

He's correct.
Yeah.

I think that's incredible.
What do you think, Niall?

I'm just wondering
what you think.
I think so, too. I, uh...

I'm sorry I didn't turn.

I felt it was so much power
going on there.

I just felt like I wouldn't know
what to do

with a voice that powerful,
if you know what I mean.

And I feel like I would end up
holding you back in ways.

But you have amazing tone.

You were giving it all
up there for sure.

Thank you so much.

Alanis Morissette is, like,

one of my favorite artists
of all time.

So, like, when someone
comes out here, I'm like,

"You better
come out with it."

I love her so much,
so it took me a minute.

Then I heard this part
come alive

and you became, like,
really rock 'n' roll and rad.

And you started singing
with your chest and your gut.

Yeah.
And by the way, that's really
incredibly difficult

to do that head voice-y stuff
and then find that chest.

Like, that's, like,
what she's known for, right?

Yeah. Yeah.
I will be honest with you.

As your coach,
I'm gonna be honest with you.

There are parts
that I really wanted...

You're not her coach yet, so...

Oh, oh!
I mean, as a coach.

As a coach,
if I were your coach.

I would just want you
to attack certain parts

a little bit stronger
and a little more wild,

because you felt
a little controlled with it.

That would be my thing with you
as a coach.

And I have really cute jackets.

Oh.
I'm just saying.

So, what's up, Chance?

He's been waiting for one
for 15 minutes.

Yeah, let me talk
for sure. Uh...

Rachel, I turned
my chair around first.

He did.
Yes.

Uh...

He did.
He did.

I want to win this whole show.

And I think
you have an amazing tone.

It's a very full, big voice.

With the right songs
that you choose,

I see you winning
the whole competition.

I don't have a jacket,
but I do have...

I do have this hat
with your name on it,

and I think
you want to win, too,

so you might as well get down
with Team Chance.

It's a winner's hat.
Alright.
"It's a winner's hat!"

Alright, well, talking's over.

Rachel, who do you choose
as your coach?

Although I appreciate
you turning early,

I have to go with Kelly.

Yeah!
Are you serious?!

Yeah!

Today is pretty much
a 180 for Team Kelly.

And you did awesome.

One thing I love about
Rachel's voice is it's just raw.

Is your family over here?
Yeah, my mom's over here.

Alright.
I'm gonna say hi to Mom.

It's one of those things
that's kind of fun to stretch

and see where they'll go.
That's what excites me.

I love working
with people like that.

I'm coming to say hi to Mama!

Team Kelly!

Congratulations.

Thank you.
Oh, my gosh.

What a beautiful voice.
Kelly Clarkson.

Oh, my God. Going up
against Chance is so hard

'cause I secretly want to be
on Chance's team.

But I've been here for a minute.
This is like my ninth season.

So I fought, and I'm back
to win it again, y'all.

I'm excited.
I thought you had it.

I thought I had it, too.
Yeah.

Well done, Kel.
I was shocked.

I'm a little nervous to say it
'cause I don't want

to jinx myself,
but I'm kind of crushing it.

Hey, I can attest to this.

It's not what you say,
it's how much you say.

You can make fun
of how I'm winning,

but I'm still winning.

♪ This is "The Voice" ♪

Welcome back.

Niall, pick me.

Can you imagine meeting him?

No, Mom.

We've been listening to him
on the car on the way to school

every single day.
Like every day.

My name is Domenica Coka.
I'm 23 years old.

I'm from Miami, Florida,

but I live
in Nashville, Tennessee.

Music was just always played
around my house.

I grew up with a lot of jazz

and a lot of very soulful
pop music.

So that's what I look for
in music that I like to sing,

and I want to have a personal
connection to the song,

because if I can showcase
my own story within music,

I feel like I've done
the best job that I can.

Isn't this crazy?
It is pretty crazy.

Everything's so shiny...
I know.

And beautiful.
I know.

My brother, Mateo,
is my best friend.

And to have him be here for me
and support me

truly is a dream come true.

So proud of you.
Thanks.

When my brother was 3 1/2,

he was diagnosed with leukemia.

So that brought us
to Miami, Florida,

from Ecuador, South America,

in order for him to receive
the treatment that he needed.

I was 2 1/2, and going
to the hospital after school

was a very normal reoccurrence.

I fought cancer three times...

When I was 3 1/2,
7, and 10 years old.

But my sister...
She was my best friend.

She was the only thing that,

you know, helped me feel normal.

When Mateo started
his treatment,

Domenica was also limited
in her childhood

because of Mateo's situation,

but she was always happy
and cheering and helping.

You know, in moments where
I felt very insecure

after losing my hair
and everything,

she would always tell me that...

That I was beautiful still.

You're gonna make me cry.

I started singing
at the hospital for my brother

and all the other kids
that were there.

Seeing how music could just
step them away from that reality

and would help me step away
from that reality...

I loved that.
It was so powerful.

After I graduated high school,

I wanted to go out
and live in Nashville

and go to college for music,

and my brother wanted
to follow me.

We live together, and it's just
an incredible bond

that we have to this day.

My brother's my hero,

and I get to share
this moment with him.

And... And I'm very,
very grateful for that.

For the blind audition,
I am singing

"When I Look at You"
by Miley Cyrus.

That song reminds me that it is
so important to have support,

and my family
has always been that for me.

So to be able to
emotionally connect to this song

is such a beautiful blessing.

Hello.
Hello.

My name is Domenica Coka.
I am 23 years old.

I live in Nashville, Tennessee.

Ooh, Nashville.

You have a very powerful voice.

You're, like, so small
with that huge voice.

I was like, wow.
Thank you.

I felt like it was a little
too pitchy at points,

but I think
you should come back.
Yeah.

Thank you.
I appreciate that.

I think you have to keep going.

You have to keep working
as an artist

and working as a performer.

And I think there are times
where the circumstances

aren't all the way
built in our favor,

but you have
an awesome voice.
Thank you.

I think you just keep at it.

Thank you so much.

Hi!
I'm such a huge fan
of yours.

Oh.
It's okay.

I'm so sorry.
I really do think

that you need to give this
another shot next year.

I would love to.
And if they don't
fire me,

I'll be still here.
You're still young.

Your voice is really good,
and you've got, like,

so much growing to do.
You're gonna be amazing.
Thank you.

There's absolutely
no doubt about that.

Thank you so much.
So please come back here.

Thank you.

I won't be here...
I know.

Next year.

But I'm gonna call
Niall and say,

"How did Domenica do
when she came back?"

Oh, my goodness.
"Did you get her
on your team?"

So come back and do this again.

I will, I promise.

Thank you, Domenica.

Domenica, she was a
little too pitchy for me to pick

because I only have two spots
left on my team.

I think she should really
just get out there,

get some experience
under her belt,

and shake out those nerves
and come back.

Today I'm gonna be recording
a little bit of voiceover work

in my home studio.

I've got
my noise-canceling booth,

mic, headphones.

I got my pad.

My name is Cait Martin,

and I am a voiceover artist.

"He never told me the name
of the crook who trained him."

In my house, I have a little
closet that I've set up,

and I'm able to go
and record commercials.

I'm able to do video game
voiceovers, animation.

Good.

I can't do it.

I can't do it!

Are you asking me to do
"The Voice"?

Hello, darlings.

My name is Cait,
and this is "The Voice."

Oh, my God!

Very early on, Caitlyn, she just
loved everything music.

The bigger the voice, the more
she started humming and singing.

We knew where...
Where she was headed.

When I was younger,
it was easy to sing in chorus

and in musicals in school,

and I thought that that's what
I was going to do, definitely.

So I did tours
across the country.

And then I was like,

"Maybe I'll try singing
with some big party bands."

Midway through my 20s, I was
scouted by a big cruise line

to go and enter
doing cruise-ship performing,

and I started off
just doing the production shows,

and then I got to do
some guest entertaining.

When you work on a cruise ship,

you're kind of the celebrity
of the ship,

but it feels like
a very safe way

'cause you're a celebrity
for seven days,

however long the guests are on,

and then you get a whole
new crop of people to perform.

So, stepping out
as my own individual artist

is kind of scary.

I'm much more comfortable
being on a theatrical stage.

It feels comforting
to be able to put on a persona

of someone else
and be a different character.

So I'm finally ready to step out
and be Cait.

Now is the time to go forward
and do my own artistry,

and this is
the perfect platform.

Okay, we're gonna do this.

Today I'm singing "As It Was"
by Harry Styles.

It means so many
different things,

but to me it's going from
the person that I was before

and becoming the person
that I am now.

I need "The Voice"
because I've gone as far

as I can go on my own.

Today means the beginning
of a life

that I've always been too afraid
to pursue myself.

There's a lot of great people
this season.

Super singers.

come on, baby, come on, baby.

Welcome to Team Kelly.

Hi!
My name is Cait Martin.

I'm 32,
and I'm from Atlanta, Georgia.

Kelly! Kelly!

What are they saying?

That's my mom saying,
"Kelly!"

Yes!

You know what they say...

You should always listen
to your parents,

'cause that's the...
That's the better path.

That's the one
that God tells us. Um...

I'm just kidding.

I... No, literally, I turned
around instantaneously.

Like, I could tell in your voice

and how much control
you had in the beginning.

That beautiful vibrato
is so crystal clear.

And then I knew you were
going to go big and powerful,

but I didn't know
how big your range was.

And when you...
That... That was high,

and you did it so effortlessly.

I feel like I would be
such a great coach for you.

I literally believed in you like

light-years before these guys
turned around.

I don't know why
it took them so long.

And I'm just saying...

Like, the color of your hair
is so key right now, right?

Like, it's... this is the color
I chose this season.

I'm just saying
it's very similar.

It does match.
I feel like you would look
really nice

in this Season 23
Team Kelly number.

Yeah. Just saying.
Just saying.

Blake, you want to go?

I will if you're... if you're...

finished pointing out
all the incredible connections

that you two have
with each other.

I pointed out...
I pointed out incredible things.

Your merchandise and her hair.

Well, I don't know
if you realize this or not,

but this is my last season
to be a coach...

So he's tired.
On this show, and...

He's worn out.

She's right about that.

But I would love

to go out with a win
on this thing.

And I think
that I can dig down deep

and somehow find the energy
and the passion one more time

to win "The Voice."

It would be awesome

if you would be
on the last Team Blake.

That was a...

Wasn't that one hell of a spiel
that he just pulled up?

I mean,
those are fighting words, so...

About Blake.
They are...
They are fighting words.

But it's time
to pass the "batten" over.

Yeah.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah.

The "batten."

Thank you.
Is a "batten" a baton?

Language barrier.

In Ireland
I guess it is.
Okay, okay.

I like it. I like it.
I like it.

Anyway, enough about us.
I was blown away.

The minute
I heard the riff on the piano,

I knew you were obviously
gonna do something

different to the song.

I can tell that you like
storyteller-type music,

and I feel like
that's what I do for a living,

is tell stories
about my personal life.

You just kept so much control
in the highest parts

and had so many, like, dynamic

and, like, beautiful moments
in the song.

And I would love you

to be a member
of Team Niall on Season 23.

Please.

I beg you!

So much pressure.

You guys are not
making this easy for me

by any means whatsoever.

I still got a bid, too.
Okay, alright.

I'm... I'm right here.
He's like...

I was not the first person
to turn around my chair.

No.
Uh...

But that doesn't mean
that I love you any less.

And, really, I think the texture
or the... the tone of your voice

is, uh, a little reminiscent,

especially when you're doing
the lower tones,

as... as Whitney.

Oh!

In terms of tone,
you're going there,

and I think you, uh,
have a lot of room to grow,

and I would love to coach you.

You know, if you want to win,
you should ride with me.

Ah!

I love what you just did
with that song.

That is what wins this show,

when you do something
that people are not expecting

and you put a really
rad vocal on it.

You know, people want
to see something different.

I'm just saying.
Kelly! Kelly!

We're gonna be watching that
tradition for a long time.

I love your mom!

Your mom hates me.
Your mom...

Mom, be nice!

No, don't be quiet.
Speak!

The Lord said speak!
Speaking it! Speak it!

I've come from a show like this,

and I feel like
I've got the tools

to break hearts with you.

To break hearts?

I like
how you say "tools."

Thank you.
"Tewels."
"Tewel."

I-I like "batten."

I'll leave.

Alright, so we all love you,

but who do you pick
as your coach, Cait?

Who do you think?
Kelly.

Who do you think
she's gonna pick?

I think she's gonna go Kelly.

You got it down.
It's this.

There you go. There you go.
You got it.

Oh, please, oh, please,
oh, please.

Okay. Okay.

Team Kelly.

Yes!

Oh, my God!
Thank you very much!

You are insane!

I'm so happy for you.

I love you so much.
Oh, my God.

Today has been
a roller coaster, y'all.

But like always,
Mama came out victorious.

I literally knew
from the very first.

I was like,
"Oh, those notes."

Cait Martin,
her voice is incredible.

I knew from like three notes
that she had range.

I want to come meet Mama.

I'm so glad
I turned around quickly,

because I had to fight for her,

and I was very excited
to get her on my team.

Thank you so much!
We love you!

Give daddy some love.
Caitlyn has loved you
her whole life.

Oh, my God!
Oh, my God.

I love this!

Oh, my goodness.

The energy of a
four-chair turn is so exciting,

and I'm super stoked, y'all.

Damn it!
I wasn't a hard sell,
you know?

We didn't have a chance with Mom
yelling "Kelly" over there.

Kelly is back for my last season

just to irritate me
one last time.

And there she goes,
getting a four-chair turn.

Are you friends with her mom
or something?

No. So, apparently,
she's been, like, a fan

since she was a little girl.

Really?
Yeah.
The mom?

And it didn't help,
the fact that...

She's good.

Kelly clearly knows her mom.

I'm not sure, I may have to
check with the legal department.

I think that's cheating.

Yeah!
