Michael:
Tonight, we have Team Bublé
lighting up the stage.

**

I was told I could keep four.

Is that not true?

I am screwed, my friend.

The greatest person I could have
to come and help

is country megastar
Carly Pearce.

* Liar, liar, truck on fire *

* Flames rolling off
of your Goodyear tires *

Carly Pearce is
not just a mentor.

She is my hero.
[ Laughing ] Stop.

Carly Pearce is one
of the hottest acts

in what is the hottest genre
of music in the world.

I mean, she's fire,
and I was so happy

when she said yes
to come do this with me.

I'll pay you after.
Yeah.

[ Laughs ]

You and I
are very similar.
Yeah, we are.

Like, I was 16. My grandpa
used to take me to clubs

and I -- I got signed at 26 and
the record came out at about 27.

And you?
When I was 18,
I moved to Nashville

and I also got my first deal
at 26.

So you did the
10-year overnight success?
Oh, yeah.

That's why I like you.
Yeah.

This show, it's making
the next generation

of, you know,
music stars.
Totally.

And it's an incredible feeling
to get to take everything

that we've learned as artists
over the years

and try to pour something
into these amazing singers.

So we have a 17-year-old
woman who is a star,

and she doesn't know it.

She has the most unique,
gorgeous voice.

And should I introduce you
to Shye?

I'm ready. I'm ready.
Let's do it.

Hi.
Ooh, singing your praises
over here.

Shye: I can't believe
I'm getting to work with Carly.

Carly:
So many nice things.

She's won a Grammy.

She has a ton of experience
in the music industry.

I mean, I really couldn't
have wished for a better mentor.

I did not expect
to win the knockout.

Maybe that's why
you're so lovable,

because that humility

and that goodness is
incredibly beautiful.
Yeah.

* The story of my life,
I take her home *

"The Story of My Life"
by One Direction,

it's a great song.

* To keep her warm,
and time *

It's unexpected,

and it's worthy of her
and her talents.

* Is froze-e-e-e-n *

Do me a favor.

Whatever it is that you
need to find to sing about here,

I don't care what it is,

find your reason.

Yeah.
You sing like a 50-year-old,

and what I mean by that is,
like, you've lived so much life.

Lean into that,
because that's magic.

* The story of my life,
I give her hope *

Growing up,
family and music was all we had.

We weren't super rich.

There was a lot
of struggles going on.

And my family's Panamanian
and Jamaican.

In those cultures,

expressing your emotions
isn't super typical,

so I feel like having music
as that connecting source

to my mother and my siblings
has helped kind of teach us

how to express your love
and the emotions that you feel.

And I feel like that's
a really beautiful.

* The story of my life *

You sound amazing.
Thank you.

There are so few voices
of any generation --

Tracy Chapman,
Adele --

you know within three notes
who it is,

and you have one of those.
Thank you.

It's so hard
as an artist.

You want to differentiate
yourself from the pack

and Shye's voice is
one in a million.

You don't even know
what a pleasure it is.

Shye: I'm super,
extremely grateful for Michael.

He's really just taught me how
to be my true, authentic self.

Way to go.

To make it to the lives,
it would mean a ton to me

and I just really want to do
something he can be proud of.

She is something,
huh?

Have fun
picking this team.

[ Laughs ]
[ Chuckles ] Whoo-hoo!

With "Story of My Life."
here's Shye.

[ Cheers and applause ]

**

* Written in these walls *

* Are the stories
that I can't explain *

[ Cheers and applause ]

* I leave my heart open *

* But it stays right here
empty for days *

* She told me in the mornin' *

* She don't feel the same
about us in her bones *

Yeah.

* It seems to me
that when I die *

* These words will be written
on my stone *

* And I'll be gone,
gone tonight *

* The ground beneath my feet
is open wide *

* The way that I've been
holding on to tight *

* With nothing in between *

* The story of my life,
I take her home *

* I drive all night
to keep her warm *

* And time is frozen *

Phew!

* The story of my life,
I give her hope *

* I spend her love
until she's broke inside *

* The story of my life *

* And I've been waiting for
this time to come around *

* But, baby,
running after you *

* Is like chasin' the clouds *

* The story of my life,
I take her home *

* And I drive all night
to keep her warm *

* And time is frozen *

Wow.

* The story of my life,
I give her hope *

* I spend her love
until she's broke inside *

* The story of my life *

* The story of my li-i-fe *

* The story of my li-i-i-i-fe *

* The story of my life *

[ Cheers and applause ]

Daly: That is Shye
for Team Bublé.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Great job. Reba.

Shye, that was incredible.

Everything you were singing,
it came through your eyes to me.

That is part
of the storytelling.

[ Smooches ] So good.

Thank you so much.
Snoop.

For a minute, I thought
I was on another show.

Right? A show where you give
out numbers for the performance.

So I gave her a 10.

Oh, the Olympics.
I love it.

You just did an amazing job,
to me, so you got a 10.

There you go.
Thank you.

Coach Gwen.

You're so in touch
with your heart,

and you're so pure.

At your age,
you find yourself.

But you're doing it in this,
like, crazy boot camp,

really fast way on this show
right before our eyes.

And it's just so beautiful.
Amazing.

Thank you so much.
Michael.

I met Niall Horan
close to about your age,

and he was electric already,
and so I wanted to do something

where I felt like
I was paying tribute

to that potential
and greatness.
Thank you.

Some people just got it,
and we can't explain it.

There's no way
to articulate it.

The lights turn on,
and they just glow.

And I'm just
so proud of you.

Way to go, Shye.
Thank you so much.

How about another
big hand for Shye, everybody?

Shye was absolutely perfect.
Her voice is stunning.

It's unique, it is needed
because in a world

where so much is the same,
we need Shye.

Can I touch you hair?

Shye was one of my favorites
from the beginning.

This is amazing.
I had one of these before.

This is probably the craziest
thing that ever happened to me.
No, I had an Afro.

I used to love doing this in
the morning, going to school.

Shye rocks an Afro
that's culturally correct.

You know, it's hard
to rock an Afro. Try it.

That's a star.
Michael:
We are three minutes in,

and I can't handle myself.
You're already crying, huh?

Aww.
I feel like a proud papi.

Aww.

Yeah,
I'm gonna need that, dude.

Thank you very much.
Thank you very much.

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back to
the final night of the playoffs.

Michael: Okay, Jaukeem.
Let's see.

[ Gasps ] Oh, my God.
My little baby's going next.

So exciting.
Like, I love coaching,
and I --

Isn't it fun?
I told Reba,

if I was any good, I think
you might be blown away.

I can't wait.

Michael: My man.
Jaukeem the dream.

Jaukeem was my steal.

He brings youth.
He brings excitement.

He brings
incredible potential.

My team just got
a ton more talented.

How are you,
my buddy?
I'm doing great.

I've learned so much from Reba,

but I'm very excited
to be on Michael's team.

And I can't believe
that Carly Pearce is here today.

She's just an amazing person
that I can connect with also

because she's from a small town,
and she started in church.

I'm so excited to hear you.
Yes, ma'am.

So here's the deal.
This is a killer voice,

but it's only one
of the great parts about him

'cause this is a humble, kind,
beautiful young man, and, uh --
Thank you.

You're so well-poised, and I've
only known you for 30 seconds.
Oh.

I'm telling you,
I want my kids to be like this.
Yeah.

* I'm starting with *

Jaukeem:
I'm singing "Man in the Mirror"
by Michael Jackson.

Whoo!
* And I'm asking him
to change *

I love the message
that this song brings,

and I want to show the coaches

that not only
can I sing Christian music,

but I'm versatile, and
I feel like if they know that,

I could definitely make it
to the lives.

* Make that change *

Carly: I think
it's a really special thing

to witness somebody with
that kind of talent at that age.

* And I'm asking him *

Carly: If he goes out
and just owns it

and takes people on a journey
with his voice, he's got it.

Whoo!
Yes.

As you got going,
you really started to believe

what you were singing
and you were letting go.

From the first note,
just let it out

and let it ooze
'cause you started to really

have so much swagger
there at the end.
Yes, ma'am.

As a performance thing,

what I want from you,
to start the song,

just quiet.
Jaukeem: Mm-hmm.

* I'm gonna make a change *

* For once in my life *

A little bit less...
Mm-hmm.

Because then when you give us
the more, it's like --

Yeah, that gradual build
is, like, money.

On the show, I feel like
I've grown up so much.

I even had my birthday here,

and all the contestants
surprised me with a party.

And as an artist,
my voice has matured

since I've been on
this experience,

so I'm not ready to go home.

I was 14,
and I took a job

singing at Dolly Parton's
theme park, Dollywood...
Mm-hmm.

...because I knew I had a dream,
and I'm just telling you,

believe that you can do it,

and don't chase
anything else down

because you are meant
to do this.
Yes, ma'am.

Yeah, you have a really
tough choice ahead of you.

I don't envy it.
I -- I know I do.

Jaukeem, I love you, buddy.
You got this.

[ Speaks indistinctly,
chuckles ]

With "Man in the Mirror,"
here's Jaukeem Fortson.

[ Cheers and applause ]

* Mm, hmm, mm-mm-mm,
hmm, mm-mm-mm *

* I'm gonna make a change *

* For once in my life *

* It's gonna feel real good *

* Gonna make a difference,
gonna make it right *

Yeah.

* As I turned up the collar
on my favorite winter coat *

* This wind is blowing my mind *

* I see the kids in the street
with not enough to eat *

* Who am I to be blind *

* Pretending not to see
their need? *

* A summer's disregard,
a broken bottle top *

* And a one man's soul *

[ Chuckling ] Wow.

* They follow each other
on the wind, ya know *

* 'Cause they got
nowhere to go *

* That's why
I want you to know *

* I'm starting with the man
in the mirror *
Hey.

* And I'm asking him
to change his ways *

* And no message could
have been any clearer *

* If you wanna make
the world a better place *

* Take a look at yourself
and then make that change *

[ Chuckles ]

* And I'm asking him
to change his ways *

* And no message could
have been any clearer *

* If you want to make
the world a better place *

* Take a look at yourself
and then make the change *

* You gotta get it right
while you got the time *
* Got the time *

* You can't close your,
your mind *

* Your mind,
your mi-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-nd *

* No message could've been
any clearer *

* If you wanna make
the world a better place *

* Take a look at yourself,
and then make that change *

* Na-na-na, na-na-na,
na-na, na-na *

* Oh, oh, ye-e-e-e-ah *

* Na-na-na, na-na-na,
na-na, na-na *
Oh!

* I'm gonna make
a cha-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-nge *

[ Cheers and applause ]

Daly: There he is.
Jaukeem Fortson. Team Bublé.

Let's go to your former coach,
Reba.

I'm so proud of you.
Thank you.

You put your heart
and your soul into your singing.

I've always been a big fan
of that song,

but you made it yours.

Thank you.

I love you with all my heart.

I love you, too.

Thank you, Reba.
Gwen.

This is the first time
that I've seen

you unleash the beast.

Your whole, like, body language
has grown so much

in a couple of weeks.
It's unbelievable.

Beautiful.
Thank you.
[ Chuckles ]

Daly: Snoop.
You really took advantage
of that song.

You made it yours.
You had a good time.

I've just seen you catch
the Holy Spirit.

When that foot did like this,
you caught the Spirit.

That's what
it's supposed to do.

You're supposed to take Him
with you everywhere you go.

Thank you, young brother.
Thank you.

Michael.
You have the ability
at 14 years old to execute.

Yes.
That's the way
you sang the song,

the way you chose the notes,

I just kept getting up and just
going, like, "Oh," you know?

[ Laughter ]
Yes, sir.

You just filled
this whole place up with love.

Thank you.
Thank you, sir.
Way to go, Jaukeem.

How about another big hand
for Jaukeem Fortson?

Jaukeem is the total package.
At 14 years old,

he already has a seasoned voice,
a wonderful presence on stage.

There's just no limit
to where he can go.

Gwen: He grew up.
It's weird.
His face has changed.

I think his voice
just got deeper, too.

Really?
Everything changes fast.

Wow.

Coming up,
with the last two spots

for the live semifinals
on the line,

Team Bublé raises
the bar to new heights

and stuns our coaches...

Whoo!

...leaving Michael
with an impossible decision.

Who is the last artist
moving on?

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back
to the playoffs.

Now it's the 19-year-old
pop singer from Pittsburgh

Michael saved during
the knockouts.

Sloane Simon.

Sloane got stole
and saved.

Yeah. Wasn't meant to leave.
Both?

[ Chuckles ]

Carly: How are you?
Sloane: Hi.

No, let it happen.
I know. I see the love.

You are so cute.
Oh, my God.

Oh, my God,
I love your jeans.

I love your shirt.

Thank you.
My mom dressed me.

I just love your sequins.
[ Chuckling ] Hi.

How are you?
I'm good.
We're back together again.

Together again.
Yeah.

You keep coming
to my rescue.

Michael has been fighting for me
since the very beginning.

He was the first chair
to turn in the blinds.

My initial coach was Gwen,
but I was stolen by him.

I was saved by him.

We've had a wild ride, and
I could not be more thankful.

Are you okay
with what I chose?

I was so surprised
you picked this.
You were?

I love Chappell Roan.
Why?
I'm super young and cool.

No, you are.
You are.

* With her arms out like an
angel through the car sunroof *

I've chosen a song called "Good
Luck, Babe!" by Chappell Roan

because I love Chappell Roan,

and I want Sloane to be able to
really dig into something.

And I know it's challenging,

but I think Sloane's
talent defies genres,

and she's an ambitious,
tough woman

who has gone through a lot, and
I know she's gonna kill it.

* You'd have to stop the world
just to stop the feeling *

Sloane:
The lyric, "You have to stop the
world just to stop the feeling"

kind of encapsulates
a lot about how me

and my family feel about my dad.

* Just to stop the feeling *

My dad isn't doing great.

His oncologist said he had
anywhere from a couple days

to a couple weeks left.

And it's tough not being
with my family,

but he wants me to be here.

My mom wants me to be here,
my sister and my brother,

everybody wants me to be here
because this opportunity,

being here gives them something
to be excited for, too.

I want to dance
to your music...
Yeah.

...with my daughters
in the kitchen.
Aww.

Oh, my goodness.
Thank you.
That's what I want to do,
yes.

You have the abilities
of all the great pop singers,

like the Sabrina Carpenters,

but you also have
this richness to you

that feels very much
like country.
Yeah.

I hear a little Kelsea in her,
I hear a little Taylor Swift,

but what I seein her is a girl
that -- she has a mission.

She's trying to figure out
and learn as much as she can

because this is what she wants,
and I think she'll do it well.

Sloane: I think
my last performance,

I didn't think
I sounded my best,

I didn't think
I felt my best.

I went home for a week
in between filming

to see my dad
and check up on my family,

and I kind of came back,
and I was a bit, um, shaken.

Bring how you feel
to the stage.

The audience wants to feel
that with you, and you're human.

And I feel like some
of my truest moments are

when I bring everything
to the stage.

I went through
my own personal thing

when my son got sick.
Mm-hmm.

And I couldn't
get through it.

I just couldn't,
and that's okay.

Like you said,
human beings.

It's a show,
and it's not as big as you

and as important as you
and your trajectory

and your journey.

This is just a part of it.

Thank you.

Michael relating to me
on such a personal level

was definitely very encouraging,
very heartfelt.

I think putting my emotions
out there for the world

with this song is definitely
what's gonna give me a shot

at going through to lives.

I'll be praying for --
for Dad and --

and all of it.
You know I will.
Thank you.

With "Good Luck, Babe!"
here's Sloane Simon.

[ Cheers and applause ]

**

* It's fine, it's cool *

* You can say
that we are nothing *

* But you know the truth *

* And guess I am the fool *

* With her arms out like an
angel through the car sunroof *

* I don't wanna call it off *

* You don't wanna call it love *

* Only wanna be the one
that I call baby *

* You could kiss
a hundred boys in bars *

[ Cheers and applause ]

Go, girl.

Daly:
Give it up for Sloane Simon,
everybody. Team Bublé.

Thank you.
Alright, Gwen, talk to us.

Obviously, that song is
so huge,

but it felt like it was
your song, your style,

the way you work the stage,
your confidence.

It's just one
of the hardest things to do,

and I think we did it
so well.

So proud of you.
Thank you so much.

I don't know
how brave you are.

I mean, I knew that you and your
family were going through stuff.

You just lost your dad.

Sunday, yeah.
Sunday.

You said
that you would stay

because he would want
you to be here.

My dad told me I was crazy
to turn back.

So I'm here,
and I sing for him.

[ Cheers and applause ]
Wow.

The spirit of your father

telling me to give you
a hug right now.

[ Cheers and applause
continue ]

[ Crying ]
Thank you.

It's gonna be alright.
You did amazing.

Oh, my God.
He's so proud of you
right now.

Thank you so much.
I had to tell you that.

Thank you.

Let me say this to you,
Sister Sloane.

I'm proud of you.
Dad's proud of you.

Thank you so much,
Sloane.
Thank you, Snoop.

Alright, Sloane, let's talk
to the man here. Michael.

Number one, I love you.

Number two...
I love you, too.

...I thought your performance
was marvelous.

Number three, I know that your
dad must be so proud of you.

I can't really express to you
in any words

how highly
I think of you

and how amazing I think
what you've done today is.

Thank you, Michael.

How about another big hand
for Sloane Simon, everybody?

Michael: It is a testament
to her strength

that she's here,
and I have no idea

how she found the inner strength
to -- to do what she did today.

What a -- What a resilient,
beautiful woman she is.
Yeah.

* This is "The Voice" *

Daily: Welcome back
to "The Voice."

This has been fun,
though.
So much fun.

Up next, we have Cameron,
and they are extraordinary.

They have sung songs
from Streisand

and the greatest singers
in the universe.

Hi.
Hi, Cameron.

Oh, my gosh,
it's so nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

I think Carly is
a brilliant singer.

She's an international treasure
to country music.

So how are you doing?

Tell me about what happened
after the last time.

I was pinching myself.
I was so hoarse, so --

What do you do
when you're hoarse?

Pray.
I drink whiskey.

[ Chuckles ]

I finished,
I called my mom,

and I actually broke down
and cried.
Aww. No.

And she was like,
"I knew you'd be there."

Then I called my partner.

I kind of went from crying
to laughter...

Oh, good.
...so I celebrated.

They're happier for you
than you even are for you.

I know.
I'm very happy, though.
[ Chuckling ] Yeah.

* Sometimes you'll laugh *

I'm singing "Exhale (Shoop
Shoop)" by Whitney Houston.

This song for me is so personal.

Grandma Lola would sit me down
and play Whitney Houston albums,

and she would always tell me,

"These are the songs that the
world is gonna hear you sing."

The fact that I'm singing a song
that is so near

and dear to my grandmother

is kind of like a tap
on the shoulder

that I'm exactly
where I'm supposed to be.

Now, come on tour with me and
let me lip sync to your voice.

Absolutely.

Your falsetto moments and the
way that you came off of runs,

it was like Whitney.
Literally.

Yeah.
You sounded like Whitney.

The timbre in your voice
is crazy.

When you get out there,

I know your eyes won't be
closed that much

'cause you have
such beautiful eyes.

Thanks.
I just want to see them.

[ Laughter ]

Thanks.
Do you have any advice

for an emerging diva
as -- like myself?

Something that you already
have is you're so unique to you.

Keep that,
because that's special.

And I think just believe
that you can do it

because you have
everything going for you.

I love a lot
about Cameron's voice.

Not only
is it technically perfect,

I love that you can tell that
there's a lot of meaning there.

There's a confidence there.

So amazing.
Bye, y'all.

Thank you.
Bye.

Making my choice
is gonna be really difficult.

but, emotionally, if
they can be honest and earnest,

they have a great shot.

Singing "Exhale (Shoop Shoop),"
here's Cameron Wright.

[ Cheers and applause ]

* Everyone falls
in love sometimes *

* Sometimes it's wrong *

* Sometimes it's right *

* For every win *

* Somebody's gonna fail *

Wow.

* But there comes a point when *

* You will exhale *

* Yeah, yeah *

* Ooh, shoop *

* Shoop, shoop *

* Shoop, baby *
* Snoop *

* Snoop, Snoop, Snoop *

* My lord, now *

* Sometimes you'll laugh *

* Sometimes you'll cry *

* Life never tells us *

* The whens or whys *

* When you've got friends *

* Who wish you well *

* You'll find your point when *

* You will exhale *

* Yeah, yeah, say *

* Shoop, shoop *

* Shoo-oo-oo-oop *

* All you gotta do is say *

* Shoop *

* Oh, hearts are often broken *

* When there are words
unspoken *

* In your soul, there's answers
to your prayers *

* You're searching for *
Ow!

* A place you know *

* A familiar face *

* Somewhere to go *

* You should look
inside yourself *

* You're there *

* When you've got friends *

* To wish you well *

* You'll find your point when *

* You're gonna exhale *

* Yeah, yeah *

* Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooh *

* Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooh *

Whoa.
* Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooh *

* Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooh *

* Shoo-oo-oo *

* Be doooooooooooooooop *

[ Cheers and applause ]

Daly:
That is Cameron Wright.

That's -- That's playoff level
right there. Snoop.

I got a little story
about that record, right?

Every time I used to see
Whitney Houston,

I used to walk up to her
and be like,

* Snoop, Snoop,
Snoop, Snoop *
[ Laughter ]

To go on the Whitney catalog,
you got to have range,

and you did that.

And I was very impressed.
Thank you brother.

Thank you, Snoop.

Reba.
Reba:
I'm a huge fan of yours.

And, boy,
whatever happens on this show,

you're gonna have
a great career

'cause you are so talented.

Love your voice.

Thank you, Reba. Gwen.

What impressed me
the most is just

how much control you had
over every second of that song.

I can't even imagine
how proud everybody

around you are right now.

Watching you use your gift
in the way you are,

so that --
it was beautiful.

Thank you so much.
What'd you think, Michael?

I have nothing but love and
reverence and respect for you.

This coaching thing,
it changes with everybody.

Sometimes you talk more
than you listen.

And with you,

I've just had the opportunity
to sort of just listen.

And it's so attractive
to watch someone

who's at such peace
in front of people.

That is such a gift
to an audience.

I love you and thank you.
That was just genius.

How about another big hand
for Cameron Wright?

Michael: I thought Cameron's
performance was elite.

There was such a sense of
self-control and understatement

that I can't really tell you how
much I appreciate as an artist.

Snoop Dogg: Hey, Cam,
let me see that shirt.

It has sparkles on it.

Did you pick that out
yourself?

That's mine.
Oh, there -- Oh.

I knew they didn't have
nothing like that in wardrobe.

Quit playing with me,
dawg.
[ Laughs ]

The shirt, it was so dope.
It had, like, rhinestones.

It was a sparkly turtleneck,
right?

It was dope.

We have some exciting news.

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back.

I am very excited
for you to hear Sofronio.

He's incredibly gifted
as vocalist and as musician,

but he's also a
very sweet Filipino.

He's not been in this country
very long.

Is he behind?
I can hear him.

Is he here?
He's behind us.

[ Gasps ] Hello.

When I saw Carly Pearce,
it was so awesome.

Carly's a Grammy winner

and to have the chance
to sing in front of her,

it's just wonderful.

What did you think
of the song choice?

Honestly, I was
very nervous at first.

Why?

Because I've never heard
the song even once before.

Dude, it's only 70 years older
than you.

[ Laughs ]

I chose "Crying"
by Roy Orbison.

Sofronio is one of
the few voices on the planet

capable of doing,
I think, a song

that's one of my favorite songs
of all time justice.

* Crying *

When I think about
my favorite singers

like Kelly Clarkson and Celine,
Sofronio is magic.

It's not just the technical
capability of singing.

His tonal quality is special.

I think he's
a generational singer.

Mark my words, he's a star.

I want to dedicate
this song to my mom,

and I wish I would give her,
like,

the happiest moment.

* All alone *

The song talks about heartbreak,
and when I sing this song,

I think of the pain my mom felt
when she lost my dad.

Up till this moment,
it's still fresh,

and I could never forget
the moment

that he's about to pass away.

He told me, like,
"Take care of your mom for me."

So...yeah.

* From this moment on *

And everything
I'm doing right now,

I am doing what he said,
to take care of my mom.

* Oh, oh *

* Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh *

Oh, my goodness.

How do you feel?
So good.

You should. You should.
It's so emotional.

You're having
this inner banter

of longing for this person.

But I want you,
when you hit those notes,

let it go.
Okay.

Don't worry about it being
so technically perfect.

She's really smart
and really intuitive,

and she's right.
Just let you be enough.
Okay.

When Sofronio sings, it's coming
from a deeper place...

Yeah.
...of pain and suffering.

There's a depth that is reached
because of that.

And you can't teach
life experience,

and he has that.

Thank you so much.
See ya.

Bye, buddy.

With "Crying,"
here's Sofronio Vazquez.

[ Cheers and applause ]

**

* I was alright *

* For a while *

* I can smile for a while *

* But when I saw you
last night *

* You held my hands so tight *

* Then you stopped
to say hello *

* And though you
wished me well, you *

* You couldn't tell *

* That I'd been crying *

* Over you *

* I'm crying over you *

* And then *

* You said, "So long" *

* Left me standing *

* All alone *

* I thought that I
was over you *

* But it's true *

* So, so true *

* I love you even more
than I did before *

* But, darling,
what can I do? *

* Oh, I'm crying over you *

* I'm crying over you *

* And now you're gone *

* And from this moment on *

* And o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-on *

* Darling, I'm crying *

* I'm crying *

* I'll be crying over you *

* I'm crying *

* I'm cry-y-y-i-i-ing *

* Whoa *

* Over-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r *

* You-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u *

Whoo!

[ Cheers and applause ]

Daly: That is how you do it
in the playoffs.

From Team Bublé,
Sofronio Vasquez, everybody.

The room is electrified
by that.

Nobody more so than
our friend Snoop. Snoop?

Snoop Dogg: It felt like
I was watching the end

of some big $100-million movie
that had a hell of a soundtrack,

and all I could do
was do this.

"The end."
[ Chuckling ] "The end."

[ Laughter and applause ]

Magnifico.

[ Laughs ]
I know that ain't Filipi--

How do you say "magnificent"
in Filipino, Mike?
Sofronio.

Yes, Sofron--

Sofronio. Mwah.
Sofronio.

[ Cheers and applause ]
Daly: Gwen.

The way that you build it
and hold back,

you have all the perfect
timing emotionally.

It just kept building
to a place

I didn't think
it was possible.

So, honestly,
incredible performance.

Thank you so much, Gwen.

Daly: Reba.
Even your name is musical.

Sofronio.
[ Laughter ]

I'm gonna change
my name.

[ Laughter ]

Reba.
[ Laughter ]

Not the same.

To tackle that song,
that took guts.

And Michael has
a very tough decision,

but if he doesn't choose you,
I'm gonna be shocked.

Thank you, Reba.
Well, Michael, you got a
really tough decision coming up,

having only to pick two
of your five.

Give us your thoughts on that.
I've been really lucky.
This team is extraordinary.

And I love being part
of the evolution of Sofronio.

The first time I ever heard you,
bud,

I knew that we were right
for each other.

You worked your ass off.
My man.

Thank you so much.

How about another big hand
for Soprano Vasquez?

Michael: His performance
vocally was flawless.

I was dumbfounded
by the ability to really reach

and connect to an audience.

This is my last chance to
size up my team and what I have,

and after this, it is fully in
America's hands.

What is "amazing"?
How do you say it?

[ Speaks Filipino ]
[ Speaks Filipino ]

Snoop Dogg: To me,
Michael has the strongest team.

I'm just happy that
I don't have to make a decision,

because those five singers that
he has could all win this show.

Mike, you got the fab five.

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly:
Welcome back to the playoffs

at Universal Studios Hollywood.

Michael: Oh, my God,
it's my turn.

Bless your heart.
Last one to go.
So happy.

Final steps.
This is the worst.

Walk the plank.
It's not that bad.

It's actually worse
than you really can imagine.
Yes, it is.

No, I have seen it.
Hey, if you're gonna cry
on somebody's shoulders,

cry on Snoop's.
I just got this jacket.

I really like it.
I like it, too.

Get off that -- Get off
that fashion right now.

Leave Reba alone.
Don't mess it up.

Alright.
Let's go.

Please welcome
the members of Team Bublé.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Whoo!

Shye, Cameron, Jaukeem, Sloane,
and Sofronio, congratulations.

Great job. Only two
can represent Michael

in the Top 8 live show.

Michael, this is
a difficult decision.

How are you feeling right now?
I feel really lucky.

I was blessed to be chosen
by these incredible individuals.

By the way, Snoop has renamed
these folks the fab five.

[ Laughter ]

Thank you, Snoop.
[ Cheers and applause ]

Before we get
to your decision,

what would you like
to say to your team?

Oh, I'd just like
to thank you

for being
so incredibly gifted

to have such a deep
work ethic.

That is a testament to
how you've been raised.

It's a testament
to who you are as people,

and you're winners.
You just winners in life, so...

[ Cheers and applause ]

Okay, Michael,
here comes the tough part.

[ Dramatic music plays ]

Michael, who's
the first artist moving on?

The first artist advancing
to lives is...

...Sofronio.

Sofronio. Congratulations.
[ Cheers and applause ]

Michael: Sofronio --
the growth has been exponential.

He is a superstar.
Everything about him.

You're gonna make me cry,
brother.

I'm so excited to see what this
young man has in store for us.

That's beautiful.
Oh, that makes me cry.

Daly:
Okay, Michael, this is it.
Whoo!

Four of your
incredibly talented artists

are left here on the stage.

One more
will complete the Top 8,

and three will be leaving
us tonight.

Who is the last artist
moving on?

I love you guys.

Really I do.

This isn't the end
for us,

but today I have to make
a choice,

and every one of you
is the right choice.

But the second artist
advancing to lives is...

...Shye.

Shye.
[ Cheers and applause ]

Stunned.
Congratulations.

Michael:
I think she might be one of my
favorite voices I've ever heard.

She executed even better
than I expected.

Her voice is just stunning,

Thank you so much.

Aww.
There's a quality
that she has

that reminds me
of my favorite singers,

from Adele to Ella Fitzgerald
to Sarah Vaughan,

there's this wonderful
richness and depth.

You need people to hear you.
They need to hear you.

So if you, by chance,
have what she has at 17,

it means
you're one in a million.

It means you're a needle
in a haystack.

It means you're Shye.

Daly: How about a big hand
for these three artists

leaving us tonight?

We wish them nothing
but the best of luck.

I can't believe
that we're gonna start

the live shows next week.

Snoop's team is dynamic and
amazing, and Gwen has two people

that are absolutely
unbelievable.

And Reba,
she also has two people

that defy
any sort of genre

and raise their game
every single time I see them.

And I think Shye and Sofronio

are going to crush it
in the live semi-finals.

For me, the most exciting thing
is the power shifts to

where it should be, and that's
in your hands, America.

Reba: Now that we know
who the Top 8 are,

all I can do is encourage
and continue to coach.

I'll be praying.

Do I have the winner?
To be decided. We'll find out.

I feel like, right now,
I got about a 97% chance

to win it all.

With a little bit of coaching,
get three more percent.

I think I'll be at 100.
