The Voice US (2011) s08e12 Episode Script

1 Daly: LAST WEEK ON "THE VOICE," THE KNOCKOUTS BEGAN.
Pharrell: WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THE KNOCKOUT ROUNDS IS THAT WE GET TO SEE INDIVIDUALITY.
WHAT MAKES YOU DIFFERENT IS WHAT MAKES YOU SPECIAL, AND THAT'S WHAT I NEED ON MY TEAM.
I'M A WARRIOR Daly: WITH A SPOT IN THE LIVE PLAYOFFS AT STAKE, THE ARTISTS FACED OFF IN SOLO PERFORMANCES AGAINST THEIR OWN TEAMMATES.
WHOO! AND THEIR COACHES FACED THE MOS DIFFICULT DECISIONS YET.
AY-YI-YI.
SAWYER.
Christina: IT'S INEVITABLE TALENTED PEOPLE WILL GO HOME.
KIMBERLY.
BUT THE BEST WILL PREVAIL.
COME ON, BLAKE! STEAL! Daly: BUT THEY EACH HAD ONE FINAL STEAL TO GET THE BEST ARTISTS FOR THEIR TEAMS.
YES! PHARRELL, BLAKE, AND ADAM USED THEIRS MOVING FORWARD, MY TEAM WILL BE UNSTOPPABLE.
Daly: LEAVING CHRISTINA THE ONLY COACH WITH THE POWER TO STEAL AN ARTIST.
WHOO! TONIGHT, THE KNOCKOUTS END AS THE REMAINING ARTISTS TAKE THE STAGE.
THEY WILL PICK THEIR OWN SONGS.
WHAT SONG DID YOU CHOOSE? I'M DOING "MY GIRL" BY THE TEMPTATIONS.
THERE WE GO.
"BIG WHITE ROOM" BY JESSIE J.
WOW, THAT'S A CHALLENGE.
"TIM McGRAW" BY TAYLOR SWIFT.
SHE WATCHES THIS SHOW.
OH, MY GOD! [ LAUGHS .]
WELL, SOME NIGHTS I WISH THAT THIS ALL WOULD END Daly: AND TO HELP PREPARE THEM, OUR COACHES RECRUITED TWO-TIME GRAMMY WINNER 'CAUSE I COULD USE SOME FRIENDS FOR A CHANGE Daly: AND FRONT MAN OF THE BAND FUN.
, NATE RUESS.
CAN WE PITCH THE SONG UP? Adam: NATE RUESS IS SO TALENTED.
IT'S GREAT 'CAUSE WE'RE SUPER LIKE-MINDED ABOUT A LOT OF THINGS.
THAT WAS A BRILLIANT IDEA.
I KNOW YOU CAN DO THE BEGINNING BETTER THAN THAT.
MAY I SEE THAT REAL QUICK? OF COURSE.
SHOULD I GIVE UP, OR SHOULD I JUST KEEP CHASING I'M LOVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE THESE ARTISTS ADVICE.
IT'S WONDERFUL.
I WISH THOSE DAYS Daly: THE ARTISTS WILL HAVE TO LEAVE EVERYTHING ON THE STAGE RI-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-GHT Daly: TO IMPRESS OUR COACHES.
I'M GOING CRAZY Daly: AND THERE'S NO ROOM FOR ERROR YEAH.
MIND Daly: BECAUSE EACH COACH WILL ONLY TAKE FIVE ARTISTS INTO THE LIVE PLAYOFFS.
I WISH I HAD A STEAL.
DUDE, MAN, I REALLY WANTED TO SPOON WITH YOU.
[ LAUGHTER .]
WHO YOU GONNA PICK? CAN I SEND YOU HOME? [ CHRISTINA LAUGHS .]
Daly: WITH ONE STEAL REMAINING THERE IT IS! MINE! [ LAUGHS EVILLY .]
Daly: THE FINAL KNOCKOUTS START RIGHT NOW.
WHILE OUR COACHES HEAD TO THEIR CHAIRS, LET'S LOOK AT ADAM'S FIRST PAIRING OF THE NIGHT.
Adam: BARRY AND TONYA BOTH HAVE THIS INFECTIOUS VIBE AND POWERFUL VOICES.
THEY BOTH HAVE THIS ABILITY TO SING OVER YOU, BUT I WANT TO SEE WHO CAN OUTDO WHO HERE.
BACK HOME IN NEW ORLEANN, I'M A PRISON-CHOIR DIRECTOR.
AFTER HURRICANE KATRINA, I LOST EVERYTHING.
SO THIS OPPORTUNITY TO JUST BE ON "THE VOICE" WAS TRULY AN AMAZING MOMENT.
I FEEL THAT ADAM CAN REALLY CHALLENGE ME VOCALLY.
YOU'RE SINGING TOO MUCH ALMOST.
OKAY.
STAB AT IT A LITTLE MORE RHYTHMICALLY.
PRETTY YOUNG THINGS, REPEAT AFTER ME SAYIN' NA, NA, NA NA, NA-NA, NA YOU DID EXACTLY WHAT I ASKED OF YOU.
Tonya: WORKING WITH ADAM HAS BEEN EVERYTHING.
TONYA.
Tonya: I WANT TO SHOW HIM THAT WE'RE GOING ALL THE WAY TO THE END.
DO THAT DANCE.
DO THAT DANCE.
DO THAT, DO THAT, DO THAT, DO THAT.
HERE WE GO.
DON'T DELAY SEND YOURS IN RIGHT AWAY NATE RUESS? OH, MY GOD.
I'M SORRY, BUT HE AND ADAM WELCOME ME ON STAGE.
THEY WERE SINGING "LOVE'S IN NEED" BY STEVIE WONDER.
'FORE IT'S GONE TOO FAR YES, NATE! YOU KNOW.
Tonya: HE'S AN AMAZING WRITER, PRODUCER, SO IT'S TRULY AN AWESOME OPPORTUNITY TO GET SOME ADVICE FROM HIM.
SMOKIN' CIGARETTES AND WRITING SOMETHING NASTY ON THE WALL I WILL BE PERFORMING "I WISH" BY STEVIE WONDER.
THIS SONG ALLOWS ME TO SHOW MY RANGE, MY TECHNICAL SKILLS.
THIS SONG ACTUALLY REPRESENTS ME WHOLEHEARTEDLY.
A-DO-DO, DO-DO, DO, DO, DO, DO-DO, DO Adam: YOU KNOW HOW WE DID THE MICHAEL SONG? YOU ELONGATED A LOT OF NOTES SOMETIMES.
UH-HUH.
IT NEEDS TO BE A LITTLE LIGHTER.
OKAY.
'CAUSE, YOU KNOW, STEVIE'S ANOTHER KIND OF SINGER WHO WAS, LIKE, THERE'S SO MUCH SYNCOPATION, THERE'S SO MUCH RHYTHM.
LOOKING BACK ON WHEN I WAS A LITTLE, NAPPY-HEADED BOY YOU KNOW, SHE CAN STAND TO THROW AWAY SOME STUFF.
ABSOLUTELY.
Adam: TONYA'S SONG CHOICE WAS GREAT, BUT SHE CAN'T TRY TO IMITATE STEVIE.
SHE HAS TO DO HER OWN THING, BUT ALSO BE RESPECTFUL TO THE ORIGINAL.
NO ONE CAN BE STEVIE.
YEAH.
LIKE, YOU GOT TO BE YOU, AND I THINK THAT'LL HELP YOU DELIVER THE VOCAL.
IT'S GREAT THAT YOU SOUND SO GOOD.
I THINK YOU CAN AFFORD TO LET LOOSE, BRING DOWN THE HOUSE.
OKAY.
I WANT TO SEE ALL THESE "TEAM ADAM" THINGS JUST FALL DOWN.
I THOUGHT TONYA HAD A REALLY GREAT ENERGY, AND IF SOMEONE'S GONNA GO AT A LEGEND LIKE STEVIE WONDER, YOU HAVE TO BE UP FOR THE CHALLENGE.
SHE -- SHE WAS UP FOR THE CHALLENGE.
YOU GROW UP AND LEARN THAT KIND OF THING AIN'T RI-I-GHT WHOO! Adam: I THINK THAT TONYA, SHE'S CONSISTENT, BUT THERE'S A LITTLE MORE WORK TO DO ON IT, THOUGH, IS, LIKE, SHE'S STILL KIND OF GETTING THE FEELING FOR IT.
HEY, BY THE WAY, WITH YOUR PERSONALITY AND HOW I KNOW YOU ARE, WHAT YOU DO FOR A LIVING, I NEED TO FEEL THAT.
GIVE ME MORE CHURCH.
OKAY.
I'M HERE TO SHOWWTHE WORLD THAT I AM THE VOICE.
IT'S NOT TIME FOR ME TO GO HOME.
BEFORE "THE VOICE," I HUNG UP THE KNIVES FOR THE MICROPHONE.
I MOVED TO PALM SPRINGS TO PURSUE MY MUSIC.
I'VE BEEN SINGING AT THE COUNTRY CLUBS THERE EVER SINCE.
I'M SO GLAD THAT ADAM TURNED AROUND.
YOU ARE AMAZING, SO GREAT JOB.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
THANK YOU.
BARRY, YOU'RE A VERY IMPORTANT FIGURE FOR ME RIGHT NOW 'CAUSE I-I'M HURTING.
IT'S GONNA BE ALL RIGHT.
I'M THE OLDEST ONE IN THE COMPETITION, YOU KNOW? AT 53 YEARS OLD, I'M LEARNING SO MUCH.
FEELIN' ALL RIGHT OH, NO I LOVE THAT YOU THREW CAUTION TO THE WIND.
SMILED, HAD A GREAT RAPPORT ON STAGE.
YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU'RE NOT OVER THE HILL AT 50, SO THIS IS FOR THE OLD PEOPLE.
COME ON, Y'ALL.
HEY.
HEY.
THERE HE IS.
THANK YOU.
MY FRIEND NATE.
NATE, BARRY.
BARRY, NATE.
YEAH.
IT'S NICE.
THANK YOU.
AWESOME.
NICE TO MEET YOU.
YEAH, LIKEWISE.
YOU'LL BE GOING AGAINST TONYA, SO THAT MEANS YOU GOT TO BRING IT.
THE SONG THAT I'M SINGING FOR MY KNOCKOU IS "WHAT YOU WON'T DO FOR LOVE," BY BOBBY CALDWELL.
MY FRIENDS WONDER WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME THIS SONG IS REALLY GONNA SHOW A RANGE THAT I'VE NEVER SHOWN BEFORE.
I CAME BACK TO LET YOU KNOW Adam: BARRY WAS SINGING LIKE A MANIAC.
THAT UPPER REGISTER, I HAD NO IDEA HE EVEN HAD THAT.
WHAT I WOULD NOT DO-O-O Adam: I HAVE NEVER HEARD YOU ATTACK THOSE HIGH NOTES WITH SO MUCH FINESSE.
YOU GOT TO ATTACK ALL OF THESE -- TO LET YOU KNOW THE SAME WAY YOU HIT THOSE BIG ONES.
CAN'T -- CAN WE PITCH THE SONG UP? WE CAN TRY IT.
IF WE'RE GONNA DO IT A HALF STEP UP, WHATEVER THAT -- THAT -- THAT SECTION OF HIS VOICE IS, I WANT YOU THERE.
Barry: NATE AND ADAM BROUGHT THE SONG UP A HALF A STEP, AND I WAS VERY NERVOUS 'CAUSE I'M NOT USED TO BEING UP THERE ALL THE TIME.
IN MY WORLD ONLY YO-O-U THEY'RE DEFINITELY BRINGING OUT AN ARTIS THAT I NEVER KNEW EXISTED.
WHAT I WOULD NOT DO-O-O OH, MY GOD! WHO ARE YOU RIGHT NOW?! THAT'S LIKE A TRUMPET.
THAT WAS AMAZING.
THIS IS LIKE BARRY 2.
0.
[ LAUGHS .]
YOU'RE DEFINITELY DOING IT IN THAT KEY.
THAT WAS A BRILLIANT IDEA.
Adam: BARRY'S IN VERY GOOD SHAPE.
HE'S CHANGED.
HE IS A MUCH BETTER SINGER.
I CAN'T EVEN BELIEVE HOW GOOD THOSE HIGH NOTES WERE.
YOUR BIGGEST THING IS YOU NEED TO HAVE GONE THROUGH THIS TWO, THREE TIMES BEFORE YOU DO I BECAUSE YOU COULD TELL YOU OPENED UP MORE AND MORE AS THE SONG WENT ON.
TONYA'S GONNA BE LIKE MUHAMMAD ALI COMING OUT THERE.
SHE'S GONNA BE WANTING TO HIT ME HARD.
BUT IF I DO EVERYTHING THAT ADAM TELLS ME TO DO AND BE ABLE TO HIT MY HIGH NOTES, I HAVE A GOOD CHANCE OF WINNING THIS AND TAKING IT ALL THE WAY.
I'M-A BRING IT.
GOT TO BARRY IT UP.
YES, SIR.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE .]
WHOO! SINGING "I WISH," HERE IS TONYA BOYD-CANNON.
COME ON, PUT YOUR HANDS TOGETHER LOOKING BACK ON WHEN I WAS A LITTLE, NAPPY-HEADED BOY THEN MY ONLY WORRY WAS, FOR CHRISTMAS, WHAT WOULD BE MY TOY EVEN THOUGH WE SOMETIMES WOULD NOT GET A THING WE WERE HAPPY WITH THE JOY THE DAY WOULD BRING I WISH THOSE DAYS COULD COME BACK ONCE MORE WHY DID THOSE DAYS EVER HAVE TO GO?

Daly: GIVE IT UP! THAT'S A KNOCKOUT RIGHT THERE FOR TEAM ADAM.
YEAH! BARRY AND TONYA.
WHOO! LET'S GET SOME COMMENTS.
BLAKE SHELTON, WHAT'D YOU THINK? WHOO! THIS IS A PAIRING THAT NEVER NEEDS TO BE SEPARATED.
THIS IS AN ACT ALREADY.
[ CHRISTINA CHUCKLES .]
ALL RIGHT.
I MEAN, YOU TWO, IT'S INCREDIBLE.
YOUR STAGE PRESENCE IS -- THERE'S -- THERE'S ATTITUDE, THERE'S FUN.
I HAVE LITERALLY NO IDEA WHO HE'S GONNA PICK.
I WOULD QUIT RIGHT NOW IF I WAS HIM.
[ LAUGHTER .]
I MEAN, IT'S Daly: THANKS, COACH.
CHRISTINA? YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME TO WATCH.
YOU DO REPRESENT SIMILAR THINGS IN THE SOULFUL QUALITY OF YOUR VOICE, AND YOU GUYS ARE CRAZY TALENTED, AND I WAS FEELING EVERY SECOND OF IT.
THANK YOU, CHRISTINA.
PHARRELL? THANK YOU.
MAN, FIRST OF ALL, LISTEN -- YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT PERFORMANCE WAS FOR ME.
STARTING WITH MR.
MINNIEFIELD, I JUST LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR PERFORMANCES 'CAUSE YOU JUST GIVE IT SO MUCH.
AMERICA NEEDS TO SEE 53-YEAR-OLD BLACK MAN GIVING IT THAT KIND OF SOUL.
THANK YOU.
AND THEN, TONYA, LIKE, I WANT TO CONTINUE SEEING YOU SING, TOO.
YOU CAN'T HIDE THE CHURCH THAT'S IN THERE.
MY DADDY, THE PREACHER, RIGHT OVER THERE.
AND THERE WE GO.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE .]
[ CHRISTINA LAUGHS .]
I JUST LOVE WHAT YOU GUYS DO AND REPRESENT SO MUCH, THAT I HONESTLY CAN'T MAKE A CHOICE.
THANK YOU.
COACH ADAM LEVINE, IT'S ALL UP TO YOU, BUDDY.
LAST BUT NOT LEAST, I WISH I HAD A STEAL.
[ CHUCKLES .]
I WISH YOU DID, TOO, MAN.
'CAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GONNA DO RIGHT NOW.
YEAH, THANKS.
T-THAT DOESN'T HELP.
[ LAUGHTER .]
FOR BOTH YOU GUYS, YOUR BEST ASSET IS YOUR COMFORT LEVEL.
YOU'RE HAVING FUN.
YOU CAN'T TEACH THAT, REALLY.
I MEAN, BARRY, NO ONE KNEW YOU COULD HIT THOSE POWERFUL HIGH NOTES.
FULL VOICE.
FULL VOICE.
NO FALSETTO.
NO FALSE.
THANK YOU.
Adam: I MEAN, THAT'S CRAZY.
TONYA, NOBODY APPRECIATES THIS MORE THAN -- THAN YOU DO.
I CAN FEEL THAT.
THIS IS GONNA BE A BUMMER JUST 'CAUSE I LOVE THE TWO OF YOU.
I REALLY DO.
ADAM, WHO'S THE WINNER OF THIS KNOCKOUT? [ CHUCKLES .]
DEFINE WINNER.
[ LAUGHS .]

[ LAUGHTER .]
THE EMOTIONAL BAROMETRIC PRESSURE IN THIS ROOM RIGHT NOW.
LET ME JUST RIP THE BAND-AID OFF.
WINNER OF THIS KNOCKOUT WINNER OF THIS KNOCKOUT IS TONYA.
TONYA'S GONNA MOVE ON REPRESENTING ADAM LEVINE IN THE LIVE PLAYOFFS.

Tonya: I AM SO GRATEFUL BECAUSE I'VE LEARNED SO MUCH.
WHOO! BARRY, ANYTHING YOU WANT TO SAY TO COACH ADAM? THANKS FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO DO THIS AT 53 YEARS OLD.

HE'S VERY TALENTED.
HE'S WISE.
I AGREE.

[ LAUGHS .]

I'M GOING TO THE LIVE PLAYOFFS WITH TEAM ADAM, BABY! [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE .]

[ LAUGHTER .]
Daly: STILL TO COME I'M GOING CRAZY, YEAH WHOO! Daly: THE ARTISTS GIVE EVERYTHING THEY'VE GOT DO WHAT YOU FEEL NOW WHOO! Daly: FOR ONE OF THE LAST SPOTS IN THE LIVE PLAYOFFS.
YEAH.
ALL RI-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-GHT WHOO! THAT IS EASILY THE BES THAT I'VE HEARD YOU.
THIS IS PROBABLY THE KNOCKOUT THAT SHOCKED ME THE MOST.
Daly: THERE IT IS! YES! Daly: AND CHRISTINA USES THE FINAL STEAL.
THANK YOU FOR BEING SO DUMB! MINE! [ LAUGHS EVILLY .]
THIS IS "THE VOICE" Daly: WELCOME BACK TO THE KNOCKOUTS.
WHAT ARE YOU UPSET ABOUT? [ STAMMERING MOCKINGLY .]
MAN, SHUT UP.
WHOA.
[ LAUGHTER .]
AS BLAKE FIXES HIS SEAT, LET'S LOOK AT HIS FINAL KNOCKOUT PAIRING.
Blake: I PAIRED BROOKE VERSUS KELSIE BECAUSE THESE ARE A COUPLE OF YOUNG, TEENAGE GIRLS, AND I REALLY WANT TO SEE JUST WHICH ONE OF THESE KIDS CAN HANDLE THIS PRESSURE.
Kelsie: BEFORE I GOT TO THIS SHOW, I WAS KIND OF JUST LIKE A SHY SOPHOMORE IN HIGH SCHOOL.
ONE OF MY ONLY OUTLETS WAS MY YouTube VIDEOS, BUT I THINK I'VE GROWN OUT OF MY SHELL A LO EVER SINCE I GOT HERE.
AND IF YOU'RE LOOKIN' AT ME AND MY BLIND AUDITION, IT WAS AN EXPERIENCE OF A LIFETIME.
YOU'RE LOOKIN' AT COUNTRY YEE-HAW! WHOO-HOO! HEY, I'M LOOKING AT COUNTRY.
I PICK BLAKE.
YES! YOU'RE SUCH A LITTLE STAR.
KELSIE, YOUR VOICE NATURALLY CUTS THROUGH SO YOU HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF -- OF AN ADVANTAGE THERE.
I WANT TO KEEP GROWING AS AN ARTIST AND AS A PERSON, AND I FEEL LIKE I CAN DEFINITELY DO THAT WITH BLAKE'S HELP.
SHE WAS WALKING AROUND ON THAT STAGE LIKE WONDER WOMAN TO ME.
16-YEAR-OLD.
YES.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? THAT'S WHAT'S SCARY.
COME ON IN HERE, SIS.
[ GIGGLES .]
HI.
OH, MY GOSH.
THIS IS SO COOL.
THIS IS MY FRIEND NATE RUESS FROM A LITTLE BAND CALLED FUN.
YOU MAY HAVE HEARD OF.
I LOVE -- OH, MY GOSH.
HOW'S IT GOING? OH, HI.
I LOVE HIS SONG "WE ARE YOUNG.
" I CANNOT TELL YOU HOW MANY TIMES I'VE SUNG THAT SONG OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
I'VE HEARD YOU, AND YOU SOUND AMAZING, SO REALLY? YEAH.
OH, MY GOSH.
THANK YOU.
YEAH.
I'M STILL KIND OF IN SHOCK THAT I GOT TO MEET HIM 'CAUSE I JUST LOVE HIM SO MUCH.
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.
I'M, LIKE, STILL STAR-STRUCK.
WHAT SONG ARE YOU DOING? "TIM McGRAW" BY TAYLOR SWIFT.
THE SONG'S CALLED "TIM McGRAW"? YEAH.
IT'S THE EQUIVALENT OF FUN.
DOING A SONG CALLED "MAROON 5.
" [ LAUGHS .]
TAYLOR WILL BE REAL HAPPY.
SHE WATCHES THIS SHOW.
I KNOW! OH, MY GOD! [ LAUGHS .]
I'VE DONE TWO REALLY UP-TEMPO, SASSY SONGS, SO I WANT TO SHOW BLAKE THAT I CAN BE VULNERABLE.
JUST A BOY IN A CHEVY TRUCK Blake: KELSIE -- I KNOW HER AS A GIRL WHO LOVES TRADITIONAL COUNTRY MUSIC, AND SHE'S TAKING HERSELF OUT OF HER COMFORT ZONE.
GLAD TO SEE HER DO THAT, BUT THIS IS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT STYLE OF SINGING, AND IT'S A BIG RISK FOR KELSIE.
WHEN YOU THINK TIM McGRAW I HOPE YOU THINK OF ME-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E Blake: I THINK TWO THINGS.
THINK I'M HEARING YOU SING SHARP A LOT, AND I'VE NEVER HEARD YOU SING SHARP.
YEAH.
I THINK I'M JUST NERVOUS.
YOUR VIBRATO WILL CAMOUFLAGE, SOMETIMES, YOU KNOW, A PITCH ISSUE.
THE OTHER THING IS, I DON'T REALLY FEEL LIKE THERE'S A PLACE IN THIS SONG FOR THAT BIG NOTE AT THE END.
MM-HMM.
THE SONG'S KIND OF THIS NICE SOFT STORY, AND THEN THAT SEEMS LIKE IT KIND OF COMES OUT OF NOWHERE, AND IT KIND OF DISTRACTS MM-HMM.
FROM THE OVERALL SWEETNESS OF THE PERFORMANCE.
I WOULD AGREE ON BOTH POINTS COMPLETELY.
YEAH, YOU SEEMED SHARP THE WHOLE TIME, WHICH IT'S WORSE TO BE FLAT THAN IT IS TO BE SHARP.
I MEAN, SOMETIMES YOU CAN OVER-THINK THINGS, AND IT'S NOT WORTH IT WITH SOMEONE WITH YOUR VOICE.
JUST, LIKE, DON'T -- DON'T LET YOURSELF GET IN THE WAY OF THAT.
I WON'T.
I PROMISE.
OKAY.
COOL.
THANK YOU.
Kelsie: MY PITCH IS OBVIOUSLY GONNA BE OFF IF I'M REALLY SHAKY AND NERVOUS FOR IT, AND BROOKE IS REALLY COMFORTABLE ONSTAGE, SO I FEEL LIKE I DEFINITELY NEED TO STEP UP MY GAME AND JUST GET RID OF THE NERVES.
Brooke: I GREW UP IN GEORGIA, BUT MY MOM WAS DIAGNOSED WITH LUPUS, SO WE MOVED TO FLORIDA BECAUSE OF THE WARMTH.
WHEN I MOVED TO TAMPA, IT WAS REALLY TOUGH BECAUSE I COULDN'T REALLY GET A GIG ANYWHERE.
LIKE, NOT EVEN COFFEE SHOPS.
I WOULD JUST DO LITTLE THINGS LIKE KIDS' BIRTHDAY PARTIES SOMETIMES.
COME ON, SKINNY LOVE, JUST LAST THE YEAR [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE .]
I'M DOING THINGS THAT ARE BIGGER THAN I COULD'VE EVER IMAGINED.
WHOO! WAIT A MINUTE.
WE'RE BOTH CRYING.
[ LAUGHTER .]
I LOVE THE LITTLE YODEL.
I'M LOOKING AT A FUTURE STAR RIGHT NOW.
I PICK BLAKE.
YES! THERE'S SO MUCH MUSCLE IN YOUR VOICE, IT'S UNBELIEVABLE.
THIS IS THE MOST INCREDIBLE THING I'VE EVER DONE, AND I JUST REALLY WANT TO CONTINUE THIS.
I LOVE YOU, BLAKE.
LOVE YOU, SWEETIE.
HEY.
HEY.
HOW ARE YOU? GOT TO MEET MY FRIEND NATE RUESS.
Brooke: BEING SUCH A GIGANTIC FAN OF FUN.
, I'M SO EXCITED TO WORK WITH NATE BECAUSE HAVING AN INDIE ARTIST AS MY ADVISER, I COULDN'T HAVE ASKED FOR ANYTHING BETTER.
WELL, SO, WHAT SONG ARE YOU PLAYING? "ELECTRIC FEEL," MGMT.
SWEET.
I SAID, "OOH, GIRL" THE LAST TWO SONGS I DID WERE MORE BALLADY, AND THIS ONE'S MORE UPBEAT, AND I THINK IT REPRESENTS ME AS AN ALTERNATIVE ARTIST.
SHE GOT THE POWER IN HER HANDS THESE ARE THE WRONG LYRICS SINGING IN FRONT OF NATE WAS PRETTY DISTRACTING, I'D SAY.
HE LOOKED SO INTO IT, AND I GOT SO EXCITED THAT I COMPLETELY FORGOT THE LYRICS.
I WAS JUST LIKE, "OH, MY GOSH.
LIKE, I'M SO STAR-STRUCK RIGHT NOW.
" I TOTALLY SAID THE LYRICS WRONG.
NO, IT'S GOOD.
I APPRECIATE THE CONFIDENCE TO JUST NOT, LIKE, FREAK OUT AND RUN OFF THE STAGE.
Nate: BROOKE HAS SO MUCH PERSONALITY FOR HER AGE.
SHE'S GOT A GREAT VOICE.
SHE'S MAKING UNIQUE CHOICES.
I ALSO BELIEVE THAT SHE'S GOT A LONG WAY TO GO.
I THOUGHT IT WAS SUPER, SUPER RAD, BUT I THOUGHT THAT YOU COULD STILL STICK TO THE ORIGINAL MELODY JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE, AND I'D LOVE TO JUST SEE YOU TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THE STAGE A LITTLE BIT MORE.
OKAY, DEFINITELY.
THERE'S, LIKE, A REALLY BIG, HUGE VOCALIST INSIDE OF YOU.
I THINK THERE'S SO MUCH MORE POTENTIAL WITH YOUR SINGING THAN I HAD ANY CLUE ABOUT.
YOU KNOW, BROOKE VERSUS KELSIE, THERE'S REALLY ONLY ROOM FOR ONE OF THOSE TWO ON MY TEAM.
AFTER WATCHING THIS REHEARSAL, BROOKE ABSOLUTELY BLEW ME AWAY.
THIS IS GONNA BE A TOUGH ONE.
YOU GOT A GREAT TEAM.
100%.
Brooke: TO MAKE THE LIVE PLAYOFFS WOULD JUST BE UNLIKE ANYTHING I'VE EVER DONE, AND IT'S A ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY.
Kelsie: MUSICALLY, THERE'S NOT A LOT OF OPPORTUNITIES BACK HOME, SO THIS IS EVERYTHING I'VE EVER DREAMED ABOUT.
SINGING "TIM McGRAW," HERE IS KELSIE MAY.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE .]
HE SAID THE WAY MY BLUE EYES SHINED PUT THOSE GEORGIA STARS TO SHAME THAT NIGHT I SAID, "THAT'S A LIE" JUST A BOY IN A CHEVY TRUCK THAT HAD A TENDENCY OF GETTIN' STUCK ON BACK ROADS AT NIGHT AND I WAS RIGHT THERE BESIDE HIM ALL SUMMER LONG AND THEN THE TIME WE WOKE UP TO FIND THAT SUMMER GONE BUT WHEN YOU THINK TIM McGRAW I HOPE YOU THINK MY FAVORITE SONG THE ONE WE DANCED TO ALL NIGHT LONG THE MOON LIKE A SPOTLIGHT ON THE LAKE WHEN YOU THINK TIM McGRAW, I HOPE YOU THINK OF ME-E-E-E-E YEAH, YEAH YEAH HE SAID THE WAY MY BLUE EYES SHINED PUT THOSE GEORGIA STARS TO SHAME THAT NIGHT I SAID "THAT'S A LIE-E-E" [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE .]
THANK YOU.
WHOO! Daly: COMING UP I SAID, "OOH, GIRL" Daly: BROOKE FIGHTS FOR THE FINAL SPOT ON TEAM BLAKE "SHOCK ME LIKE AN ELECTRIC EEL" THIS SUCKS! I HATE THIS PART OF THE SHOW.
LEAVING HIM WITH HIS TOUGHES DECISION OF THE SEASON.
WHAT THE HELL AM I GONNA DO? I DON'T THINK I'VE EVER SEEN HIM LIKE THIS.
I LOVE IT.
Daly: AND LATER Nate: YOU NEED TO BE LIKE WE DON'T HAVE TO BE ORDINARY Daly: NATE RUESS SHOWS THE ARTISTS HOW IT'S DONE.
YOU GOT TO GIVE IT.
WE DON'T HAVE TO BE ORDINARY THIS IS "THE VOICE" Daly: WELCOME BACK.
WITH "ELECTRIC FEEL," HERE IS BROOKE ADEE.
ALL ALONG THE WESTERN FRONT PEOPLE LINE UP TO RECEIVE SHE GOT THE POWER IN HER HANDS TO SHOCK YOU LIKE YOU WON'T BELIEVE I SAW HER IN THE AMAZON WITH THE VOLTAGE RUNNING THROUGH HER SKIN SHE'S STANDING THERE WITH NOTHING ON SHE'S GONNA TEACH ME HOW TO SWI-I-I-I-I-I-M I SAID, "OOH, GIRL" "SHOCK ME LIKE AN ELECTRIC EEL" I SAID, "BABY GIRL YOU TURN ME ON WITH YOUR ELECTRIC FEEL" ALL ALONG THE EASTERN SHORE PUT YOUR CIRCUITS IN THE SEA THIS IS WHAT THE WORLD IS FOR MAKING ELECTRICITY DO WHAT YOU FEEL NOW ELECTRIC FEEL NOW DO WHAT YOU FEEL NOW ELECTRIC FEEL NOW DO WHAT YOU FEEL NOW ELECTRIC FEEL NOW DO WHAT YOU FEEL NO-O-O-W [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE .]
THAT WAS GOOD.
GREAT.
Daly: GIVE IT UP FOR BROOKE AND KELSIE IN A KNOCKOUT FOR TEAM BLAKE.
SHE WAS AMAZING.
WE'RE GONNA GIVE YOUR COACH, BLAKE DAMN IT.
A MINUTE TO GET FRUSTRATED.
THIS SUCKS! I HATE THIS PART OF THE SHOW.
[ LAUGHTER .]
CHRISTINA? Christina: IT'S REALLY TOUGH BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE YOU BOTH HAVE STRENGTHS IN DIFFERENT AREAS.
BROOKE, YOU HAVE A GREAT QUALITY TO YOUR CHEST VOICE.
IT'S VERY STRONG.
BUT, KELSIE, THERE'S SOMETHING VERY SWEET AND COOL AND PURE.
I DON'T KNOW.
IT JUST SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS FULL OF EMOTION.
IT'S A TOUGH ONE.
IT REALLY, REALLY IS.
WAIT A MINUTE.
WHO WOULD I PICK? YEAH.
UH, DIFFERENT -- DIFFERENT OH, YOU STROKES FOR DIFFERENT FOLKS.
Adam: STOP.
DON'T YOU -- DON'T YOU PUT PRESSURE ON HER, BLAKE.
LEAVE HER ALONE.
SHUT UP.
SHUT UP.
I'M NOT EVEN TALKING TO YOU.
DO YOU WANT ME TO CHOOSE FOR MYSELF, OR WHO I THINK IS GOOD FOR YOUR TEAM? NO, I JUST -- I JUST WANT TO LEAVE.
PLEASE LEAVE.
[ LAUGHTER .]
PHARRELL WILLIAMS, SOME THOUGHTS? BROOKE IS A CATCH.
I LOVE THAT YOU DID THAT SONG ON THIS SHOW.
IT TOOK SOME GUTS.
YEAH.
YEAH.
AND IT BEGAN TO ALMOST FEEL LIKE A B-SIDE TO A MOTOWN SONG.
AND, KELSIE, YOUR AMBITION IS IN THE COUNTRY WORLD.
LIKE, I CAN SEE THAT, TOO.
I THINK YOUR DECISION SHOULD BE BASED ON WHO CAN GO THE JOURNEY WITH YOU.
Daly: THANK YOU, PHARRELL.
ADAM? FIRST OF ALL, YOU'RE BOTH FANTASTIC.
KELSIE, THERE WERE A COUPLE LITTLE THINGS PITCH-WISE, BUT YOU ARE BOTH VERY EVENLY MATCHED, AND I THINK THIS HAS A LOT TO DO WITH HOW BLAKE FEELS MOVING FORWARD AND NOT THINKING SO MUCH IN TERMS OF -- OF GENRE, BUT THINKING IN TERMS OF STRENGTH.
HE'S GOT A TOUGH DECISION TO MAKE.
HE DOES.
BECAUSE IF HE -- IF HE LETS BROOKE GO, SHE'S -- SHE'S GOT SOMETHING VERY SPECIAL.
IF HE LETS KELSIE GO, I MEAN, SHE'S NATURAL, RAW TALENT.
I WAS VERY TAKEN BY WHAT BROOKE WAS DOING, AND I WOULD GO WITH BROOKE.
THANK YOU, ADAM.
Daly: ALL RIGHT, ADAM, THANK YOU.
BLAKE? THE ONE GUY THAT I DIDN'T CARE ABOUT HEARING FROM ACTUALLY PICKED SOMEBODY, SO I'M GLAD ABOUT THAT.
[ LAUGHTER .]
BROOKE, I COULDN'T HEAR ONE THING IN YOUR PERFORMANCE THAT I THOUGHT WAS PITCHY OR WEIRD.
IT WAS ALL IN THE POCKET.
IT WAS JUST GOOD SINGING.
THANK YOU.
UH, I THINK THE THING THAT -- AND YOU KNOW, IS -- IS STILL, LIKE, FEELING COMFORTABLE UP THERE ON THAT STAGE.
KELSIE, THERE WERE A COUPLE OF LITTLE THINGS IN YOUR -- IN YOUR SINGING, BUT WHEN IT COMES TO YOU BEING ONSTAGE, THAT'S WHERE YOU EXCEL, AND PEOPLE NEVER FORGET YOU.
IT'S JUST THAT THING THAT YOU CAN'T EXPLAIN, AND IT'S POWERFUL, AND IT'S AWESOME.
AND SO I'M LEFT HERE GOING, "MAN, IT'S" AND YOU'RE BOTH 16.
WHY CAN'T ONE OF YOU BE OLD ENOUGH THAT I DON'T FEEL BAD ABOUT THIS? [ LAUGHTER .]
I DON'T THINK I'VE EVER SEEN HIM LIKE THIS.
I LOVE IT.
OHHH.
BLAKE, WHO'S THE WINNER OF THIS KNOCKOUT? YOU KNOW, I THINK UH WHAT THE HELL AM I GONNA DO? THIS IS "THE VOICE" Daly: WELCOME BACK TO THE KNOCKOUTS.
BEFORE THE BREAK, BROOKE AND KELSIE HAD EPIC PERFORMANCES.
NOW BLAKE FACES A DIFFICULT DECISION.
OHHH.
I WISH THEY COULD BRING USHER OR SOMEBODY BACK JUST TO FINISH THIS DECISION.
I'D BE INTO THAT, TOO.
[ LAUGHTER .]
UH THE WINNER OF THIS KNOCKOU IS BROOKE.
BROOKE, CONGRATULATIONS.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE .]
CONGRATULATIONS, SWEETIE.
THANK YOU, BLAKE.
GREAT JOB.
THANK YOU.
I'M SO EXCITED.
[ LAUGHS .]
I CAN'T TALK RIGHT NOW.
THIS HAS BEEN SUCH AN INCREDIBLE JOURNEY, AND KNOWING THAT I MADE IT PAS IS JUST SO AMAZING.
COACHES, LET ME REMIND YOU KELSIE IS AVAILABLE TO STEAL.
KELSIE, ANYTHING YOU WANT TO SAY TO BLAKE? [ Voice breaking .]
I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU FOR BELIEVING IN ME.
SO, THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
[ SOBS .]
A BIG THANK YOU TO KELSIE MAY, EVERYBODY.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE .]
GOOD LUCK, BABY GIRL.
Blake: AS MUCH AS I LEAN COUNTRY, I CAN'T IGNORE WHEN SOMEBODY LIKE BROOKE PUTS TOGETHER A PERFORMANCE THAT SOLID.
TO ME, SHE WON THAT KNOCKOUT.
I'M THE ONLY COACH RIGHT NOW WITH A STEAL LEFT, SO AT THIS POINT, I'M LOOKING FOR THAT ONE THING THAT COMPLETELY SHOCKS ME.
I HAVEN'T DONE COUNTRY YET, BUT WE CAN TRY.
NO, NO, NO.
WE'RE NOT SELLING OUT.
WE'RE NOT SELLING OUT.
[ LAUGHS .]
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
VERY PROUD OF YOU.
YOU'RE THE BEST COACH.
WE'RE THRILLED.
YAY.
ALL RIGHT, WELL -- I MEAN, OKAY.
[ LAUGHTER .]
Daly: HERE'S BLAKE'S LOCKED LIVE PLAYOFF TEAM.
Blake: MY TEAM IS SHAPING UP TO BE ALL OVER THE MAP.
I MEAN, I'VE GOT A COUNTRY SINGER, AN INDIE ARTIST, SOME ROCKING CHICKS IN THERE.
THEY'RE ALL REALLY BIG VOCALISTS.
I THINK I'VE GOT FIVE PEOPLE THAT CAN WIN THIS FREAKING THING.
Daly: NOW LET'S HEAD OVER TO CHRISTINA AND NATE RUESS.
Nate: WHY DOESN'T THIS THING WORK? I JUST WANT TO SPIN ONCE.
[ LAUGHS .]
WHILE THEY SETTLE IN, LET'S MEET HER FIRST KNOCKOUT PAIRING OF THE NIGHT.
Christina: INDIA VERSUS JOE -- THEY BOTH HAVE REALLY GREAT VOCAL CONTROL, SO I FELT LIKE GOING HEAD-TO-HEAD WAS A PERFECT MATCH.
[ SINGING OPERATICALLY .]
BEFORE "THE VOICE," I WAS AT UCLA AS AN OPERA MAJOR, AND FOR MY BLIND AUDITION, I SANG "NEW YORK STATE OF MIND.
" I'M IN A NEW YO-O-O-O-O-O-O-RK MY WHOLE MIND-SET WAS MAKE NEW YORK PROUD.
YOU ARE A VOCAL BEAST.
CHRISTINA.
I PICKED CHRISTINA BECAUSE SHE HAS PLAYED SUCH AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN MY MUSIC.
EVERYTHING WAS JUST SO STRATEGICALLY PLACED AND EXECUTED SO PERFECTLY.
I'D LOVE TO TRANSITION INTO AN R&B/POP SINGER, SO TO BE ABLE TO WORK WITH HER IS JUST INCREDIBLE.
INDIA! HOW ARE YOU? THIS IS NATE RUESS.
SO NICE TO MEET YOU.
HOW ARE YOU? OUR ADVISER, NATE RUESS, IS SO ACCOMPLISHED, AND THIS IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN FROM SOMEONE WHO I LISTEN TO A LOT.
SO, WHAT'S GOING ON HERE WITH THIS SONG? WHAT DID YOU CHOOSE? "BIG WHITE ROOM" BY JESSIE J.
WOW, THAT'S A CHALLENGE.
YEAH, JESSIE J's ONE OF MY FAVORITE ARTISTS.
HER VOCAL ON THIS IS NO JOKE, SO IT'LL BE COOL TO HEAR YOUR TAKE ON IT.
YEAH.
I PICKED "BIG WHITE ROOM" BECAUSE IT'S ABOU THIS PERIOD OF TIME WHERE SHE WAS JUST SO CONFUSED.
I CAN THINK OF A FEW TIMES WHERE I FELT TRAPPED AND DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO LET MYSELF GO.
AND THOSE ARE THE FEELINGS THAT I'M BRINGING BACK TO SING THIS SONG.
I'M GOING CRAZY IN THIS BIG WHITE ROOM OF MI-I-NE INDIA, THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR VOICE THAT JUST SILENCES A ROOM.
I THINK VULNERABILITY IS THE KEY IN KNOWING HOW TO CAPTIVATE AN AUDIENCE.
YOU COULD HAVE THE BEST VOICE IN THE WORLD, BUT IF YOU'RE NOT EMOTIONALLY PULLING PEOPLE IN AND ALLOWING THEM TO FEEL WHAT YOU'RE FEELING, IT'S KIND OF A WASTE.
ABSOLUTELY.
MM-HMM.
THERE'S A LOT OF -- I'M GOING CRAZY WITH THE -- WITH THE BELTING.
JUST KEEP USING THAT DYNAMIC.
TAKE IT UP INTO YOUR FALSE AND JUST MORE EERIE AND SPOOKY YOU CAN GET WITH IT, TOO, LIKE -- LIKE YOU'RE IN THIS ROOM.
KEEP PULLING THE HEARTSTRINGS IN AND OUT.
SHE'S GOT TO BE OPEN AND HONEST, WHICH IS THE BEAUTY OF THIS SONG.
I HAVE ALWAYS STRUGGLED WITH SINGING HIGHER, AND I'M WONDERING IF THERE WERE ANY SPOTS THAT YOU WANTED TO HEAR MORE.
HONESTLY, I THINK YOU HAVE SUCH GREAT NATURAL INSTINC OF CONTROLLING WHAT YOU HAVE THAT I DON'T THINK THAT YOU SHOULD SECOND-GUESS YOURSELF.
I THINK YOU CAN AFFORD TO FEEL EVEN MORE CONFIDENT.
LET'S SEE IF YOU GOT ONE MORE.
ALL RIGHT.
I WAS TOTALLY IMPRESSED WITH INDIA.
SHE CAN BE SO MANY DIFFERENT THINGS, BUT I WANT TO SEE MORE OF WHO SHE IS.
I'M GOING CRAZY HOOO, HOOO YEAH I'M GOING CRAZY LIKE, SHE WAS SELLING IT TO ME.
Christina: SHE GETS INSIDE HER OWN HEAD WHEN IT COMES TO BELTING HIGH NOTES.
WOW.
BUT SHE HAS SUCH A GREAT NATURAL INSTINCT, I CAN'T LET ANY SELF-DOUB GET THE BEST OF HER BECAUSE SHE COULD TAKE THIS THING TO THE END.
Joe: BEING SAMOAN IN AMERICA, I STILL KEEP IN TOUCH WITH THE CULTURE.
I COME FROM A FAMILY OF MUSICIANS, SO IT'S A DREAM COME TRUE FOR ALL OF US.
YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE YOU AND ME CAN DO THINGS TOGETHER.
HIT THAT NOTE AGAIN.
[ High-pitched .]
LO-O-VE AHH JOE, YOU HAVE UNDENIABLE TECHNICAL SKILLS.
JOE! Joe: BEFORE "THE VOICE," I WAS A NURSING STUDENT IN COLLEGE, AND I DIDN'T REALLY HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GIG AROUND.
SO I AM READY TO MOVE ON TO THE NEXT LEVEL AND LEARN MORE FROM CHRISTINA.
SO, WHAT SONG DID YOU PICK FOR US TODAY? I CHOSE "ONE OF US" BY JOAN OSBORNE.
OKAY.
DOES THIS SONG HAVE A SPECIAL MEANING TO YOU? Nate: COOL.
I'M A GUY WHO COMES FROM FAITH, YOU KNOW, AND THE BACKGROUND, AND I JUST HOPE I GET TO REALLY TOUCH SOME LIVES OUT THERE WHEN I SING IT.
THAT'S A GREAT REASON TO SING IT.
Joe: SINCE I WAS A LITTLE KID, I'VE BEEN SINGING IN CHURCH.
I LED THE WORSHIP TEAM, SO I FEEL LIKE THIS SONG COULD BRING OUT THAT CHURCH SINGER IN ME.
YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH WHAT IF GOD WAS ONE OF US? Nate: I THINK "ONE OF US" WAS A GREAT CHOICE.
IT TAKES SOME GUTS TO DO THAT, AND HE SANG IT WITH CONVICTION.
YOU REALLY BROUGH A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT, EYE-OPENING TWIST TO IT, AND I-I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT.
JOE HAS INCREDIBLE DYNAMICS AND CONTROL AND SOUL.
HE LITERALLY MADE THIS SONG HIS OWN, AND THAT, TO ME, SHOWS REAL ARTISTIC ABILITY.
LET US HEAR THE ORIGINAL CHORUS, THEN DO WHAT YOU DID, 'CAUSE PEOPLE NEED THAT FAMILIARITY, AND THEN THEY NEED TO SAY, LIKE, "OH, MY GOSH.
THAT'S CRAZY.
" OKAY.
HE BRINGS UP A GREAT POINT, AND JUST LOOKING AND ENGAGING WITH THE AUDIENCE, YOU KNOW, JUST BEING FEARLESS.
IF JOE CAN WIN THE AUDIENCE OVER THE SAME WAY HE BLEW ME AWAY AND WON ME OVER, HE'S GOT THIS THING.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE .]
SINGING "ONE OF US," HERE IS JOE TOLO.
OOOH IF GOD HAD A NAME, WHAT WOULD IT BE? AND WOULD YOU CALL IT TO HIS FACE? IF YOU WERE FACED WITH HIM AND ALL HIS GLORY WHAT WOULD YOU ASK IF YOU HAD JUST ONE QUESTION? WHOA AND YEAH, YEAH GOD IS GREAT AND YEAH, OOH, YEAH GOD IS GOOD YEAH, YEAH, YEA-A-H WHAT IF GOD WAS ONE OF US? JUST A SLOB LIKE ONE OF U-U-US JUST A STRANGER ON THE BUS TRYIN' TO MAKE HIS WAY HO-O-O-O-O-ME WHOO! TRYIN' TO MAKE HIS WAY HOME NOBODY CALLIN' HIM ON THE PHONE EXCEPT FOR THE POPE, MAYBE, IN ROME WHOO! [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE .]
Daly: STILL TO COME WHAT DO I DO NO-O-O-W Daly: THE ARTISTS CONTINUE TO RAISE THE BAR YEA-A-H WHOO! SHE TAKES ME BACK HO-O-O-ME WHOO! Daly: AND IMPRESS OUR COACHES.
I DON'T THINK I'VE HEARD YOU SING LIKE THAT BEFORE.
I WAS DOWN WITH YOUR PARTY 'CAUSE I WAS LOVING IT.
Daly: THERE IT IS! HERE, HERE! THIS IS "THE VOICE" WITH "BIG WHITE ROOM," HERE IS INDIA CARNEY.
SITTING IN A BIG WHITE ROOM ALONE TILT MY HEAD BACK, FEEL THE TEARS FALL DO-O-O-WN BUT I HAVE TO STAY IN THIS BIG WHITE ROOM WITH LITTLE, OLD ME-E-E-E-E-E I'M GOING CRAZY I'M LOSING MY MIND I'M GOING CRAZY IN THIS BIG WHITE ROOM OF MINE EVERYBODY'S LOOKING AT ME EVERYBODY'S STARING AT ME WHAT DO I DO NO-O-O-O-W? SMILE, YEAH WHOO! YE-E-E-E-E-E-E-AH YE-E-AH, YEAH, YEA-A-H WHOA, WHOA I'M GOING CRAZY, YEAH I'M LOSING MY MI-I-ND I'M GOING CRAZY IN THIS BIG WHITE ROOM OF MI-I-NE I'M GOING CRAZY HOOO, HOOO OH, YEAH I'M GOING CRAZY IN THIS BIG WHITE ROOM OF MI-I-I-I-NE [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE .]
Daly: GIVE IT UP FOR JOE AND INDIA, TEAM CHRISTINA KNOCKOUT ROUND.
WHOO! CHRISTINA, YOU GOT A TOUGH DECISION COMING UP.
PHARRELL, WHAT DID YOU THINK? THIS WAS BREAKTHROUGH MOMENTS FOR BOTH OF YOU GUYS.
JOE, I DON'T THINK I'VE HEARD YOU SING LIKE THAT BEFORE.
THANK YOU.
WHOO! AND, INDIA, AS GREAT OF A SINGER AS I THOUGHT YOU WERE BEFORE, THE KIND OF THEATER THAT YOU PUT INTO THAT PERFORMANCE JUST NOW MM-HMM.
YOU'RE GLOWING.
THANK YOU.
SO, IF I HAD TO GIVE IT TO SOMEONE, IT WOULD BE INDIA.
THANK YOU.
Daly: THANK YOU, PHARRELL.
ADAM? JOE, YOU DID AN AMAZING JOB OF KEEPING UP WITH THIS -- THIS BEAST OVER HERE.
SHE'S INSANE.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE .]
I MEAN, INDIA, YOU -- YOU REALLY PUT ON A SHOW.
IT WAS INTENSE.
YOU KNOW, THERE WAS A LOT OF BELIEF IN YOURSELF.
I THINK THAT THAT DRAWS PEOPLE IN.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO TELL CHRISTINA OTHER THAN GOOD LUCK WITH THIS ONE.
[ LAUGHS .]
HOW HARD IS THIS? THEY'RE BOTH JUST CRAZY GOOD.
Blake: YEAH.
I'LL START WITH JOE.
DUDE, YOU HAVE AN EXTREMELY POWERFUL VOICE, AND IT JUST ABSOLUTELY FILLS EVERY CORNER, EVERY CRACK OF THIS ROOM.
INDIA HAS THAT, BUT THEN ALSO TAKES IT OTHER PLACES, AND I WOULD GIVE THIS KNOCKOU TO INDIA.
ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU, COACHES.
CHRISTINA AGUILERA OH, MY GOD.
A TOUGH KNOCKOUT DECISION FOR YOU.
GIVE US SOME THOUGHTS ON THAT.
Christina: JOE, YOU'RE JUST SO CRYSTAL CLEAR.
IT'S JUST THIS TONE THAT SUCKS YOU RIGHT IN, AND YOU HAVE ME THERE.
AND THEN YOU STAR GOING TO NOTES THAT I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW YOU COULD REACH.
AND, INDIA, TALK ABOUT PASSION AND DELIVERING A SONG.
YOU ENGAGED THE WHOLE ROOM TO SORT OF COME INTO THIS SACRED SPACE WITH YOU.
WHAT THESE GUYS JUST DID, THEY REALLY PUT THEIR HEAR AND THEIR SOUL OUT THERE.
IT WASN'T JUST COMING OUT HERE AND SINGING A SONG AND HITTING SOME NOTES.
CHRISTINA, WHO IS THE WINNER OF THIS KNOCKOUT? [ AUDIENCE SHOUTING .]
THE WINNER OF THIS KNOCKOUT IS INDIA.
INDIA'S GONNA MOVE ON REPRESENTING CHRISTINA AGUILERA IN THE LIVE PLAYOFFS.
CONGRATULATIONS, INDIA.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE .]
CONGRATULATIONS! BEAUTIFUL WORK.
I LOVE IT.
India: I'M ECSTATIC.
I AM SO THANKFUL FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY, REALLY.
I'M GOING ON TO THE LIVE PLAYOFFS.
LIKE, AAH! JOE, ANYTHING YOU WANT TO SAY TO YOUR COACH, CHRISTINA? CHRISTINA, YOU'VE TAUGHT ME TO BELIEVE IN MYSELF, AND THAT'S SOMETHING I'VE HAD A PROBLEM WITH FOR A WHILE, AND I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
AND A BIG THANK YOU TO JOE TOLO, EVERYBODY.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE .]
ALL THE BEST TO YOU.
YOU'RE AWESOME.
INDIA AND JOE WERE SO IMPECCABLE IN THEIR PERFORMANCES.
INDIA, TO ME, SHE IS JUST UNBEATABLE IN THIS COMPETITION.
AAH! OH, MY GOD.
OH, MY GOD.
I'M SUCH A FAN.
YOU CAN'T GO ANYWHERE.
LET'S KILL THIS.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I WANT TO TAKE YOU TO THE END.
ABSOLUTELY, THERE YOU GO.
Daly: STILL TO COME AS MUCH AS MAYBE I HATE IT BUT I HAVE TO COMMEND ADAM.
SHE EVEN SANG THAT.
I HATE IT [ LAUGHTER .]
ONE ARTIST BRINGS OUR COACHES CLOSER TOGETHER.
I'M LOVING YOU RIGHT NOW.
YOU KNOW.
MORE.
MORE.
[ LAUGHS .]
THIS IS "THE VOICE" Daly: WELCOME BACK TO THE KNOCKOUTS.
NOW LET'S HEAD OVER TO PHARRELL AND NATE RUESS.
FUN, RIGHT? AWESOME.
THIS SHOW'S GREAT.
SUPER RAD.
WHILE THEY SETTLE IN, LET'S MEET HIS FIRST KNOCKOUT PAIRING OF THE NIGHT.
Pharrell: I PAIRED LOWELL AND JACOB TOGETHER BECAUSE THEY'RE BOTH VERY UNIQUE.
IT'D JUST BE VERY INTERESTING TO SEE WHO IS ABLE TO REALLY LET LOOSE AND EXPRESS THEMSELVES.
Lowell: THE TYPE OF ARTIST THAT I REALLY WANT TO BE IS THIS NEW R&B AND KIND OF SOUL, JAZZY CROONER.
DON'T GET AROUND MUCH ANYMORE OH, MY "G.
" [ LAUGHS .]
YOU'RE NOT REGULAR.
YOU'RE OTHER.
PHARRELL IS MORE THAN JUST MY COACH.
HE'S A LIFE MENTOR.
YOU DON'T FOLLOW.
YOU DON'T F-- YEAH.
YOU TAKE YOUR OWN DIRECTION.
THERE WE GO.
AND I WANT TO SHOW HIM HOW THANKFUL I AM THAT HE BELIEVED IN ME.
HEY, HOW'S IT GOING? I'M NATE.
LOWELL.
WALKING IN AND SEEING THAT MY ADVISER FOR THE KNOCKOUTS WAS NATE RUESS OF FUN.
, YOU KNOW, THE GUY'S WON GRAMMY AWARDS AND HAS THIS AMAZING VOICE.
I'M DOING "MY GIRL" BY THE TEMPTATIONS.
YOU KNOW, I DO HAVE THIS GIRL BACK HOME.
OKAY.
OKAY.
AND I'M, YOU KNOW -- I'M JUST TRYING TO VISUALIZE.
THERE WE GO.
THERE WE GO.
MAYBE WE NEED HER PICTURE, LIKE, RIGHT THERE.
KNOW WHERE HER PICTURE IS? HER PICTURE IS IN THOSE FOUR CHAIRS, THAT AUDIENCE AREA, AND THE CAMERAS.
YOU WILL WRITE HER AN S.
O.
S.
RIGHT NOW.
I'VE BEEN PERFORMING FOR LIKE 15 YEARS.
I'M LEARNING A LOT RIGHT NOW.
YEAH.
YOU WANT TO DEDICATE IT TO YOUR GIRL, DO IT.
IT'S GREAT.
Pharrell: I LOVE LOWELL'S SONG CHOICE.
IN THE BLINDS, HE CAME ON AS A CROONER, AND I THINK THAT THAT IS THE BASIS OF WHO HE IS, BUT I THINK THERE'S ALSO AN ELEMENT OF SOUL.
I'VE GOT SUNSHINE ON A CLOUDY DAY WHAT I JUST HEARD WAS, LIKE, SUCH A REALLY INTERESTING, FRESH TAKE ON A CLASSIC SONG THAT MOST PEOPLE CAN'T TOUCH.
I MEAN, YOU'VE GOT SUCH A BEAUTIFUL, CROONING TYPE OF VOICE.
LIKE, LET'S HEAR YOU BELT IT, AS WELL.
JUST ENTERTAIN US.
IT IS ABSOLUTELY IMPERATIVE THAT I JUST LET EVERYTHING GO, BE IN THE MOMENT, AND JUST -- JUST SING.
SO-O-O MUCH HONEY ALL THE BEES ENVY ME [ Voice cracks .]
OH AAH! COME ON! COME ON! I'M-A KEEP GOING.
THAT'S RIGHT! Pharrell: HE CRACKED, AND I THINK THAT STARTLED HIM, BUT ALL HE HAS TO DO TO WIN THIS KNOCKOUT IS JUST BE HIMSELF.
WAY TO STICK IT THROUGH.
I'M JUST TRYING TO TAKE CHANCES, HONESTLY.
YEAH, TAKE CHANCES.
ABSOLUTELY.
AND RECOGNIZE THAT, LIKE, THAT PART -- BREATHE, SHAKE IT OFF.
YES, YES.
BREATHE, BREATHE, BREATHE.
YOU'RE HERE.
YOU'RE GOOD.
CRACKING DOESN'T MEAN YOU HIT A BAD NOTE.
IT MEANS YOU'VE GIVEN UP ON THE NOTE AND LEFT IT OUT THERE BY ITSELF.
THE KEY IS TO LAND THE TRICK.
ALL THAT GREAT STUFF MEANS NOTHING IF YOU DON'T LAND IT.
WHAT IT IS THAT MAKES YOU UNIQUE IS YOUR VULNERABILITY.
HOWEVER, YOU HAVE TO WALK OUT WITH THIS CONFIDENCE.
I'M HOPING TO TAKE THOSE NOTES, AND I'M GONNA SHOW PHARRELL THAT I'M MY OWN ARTIS AND THAT I CAN BE VERY UNIQUE.
YOU'RE ON MY TEAM 'CAUSE I BELIEVE IN YOU, AND YOU BELIEVED IN ME.
GOOD JOB, YOUNG MAN.
I JUST GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL, AND I'M AT A CROSSROADS OF COLLEGE OR MUSIC.
I CAN COUNT ON YOU I THINK THE COACHES, THEY WERE SHOCKED JUST BECAUSE I DON'T LOOK LIKE I SOUND.
"WHOA! IT'S A GUY!" [ LAUGHS .]
YEAH.
AND I KNOW THAT'S WHY PHARRELL -- THIS IS THE THING THAT DRIVES HIM CRAZY.
I PICK BLAKE.
YES! ARE YOU WITH ME, BABY? LET'S BE CRAZY COREY.
I LOST MY BATTLE.
BUT FORTUNATELY, I WAS STOLEN BY PHARRELL.
AND YOUR VOICE IS VERY DIFFERENT.
IT'S -- IT'S UNIQUE.
I FEEL LIKE I HAVE SOMETHING EXTRA TO PROVE TO PHARRELL BECAUSE HE DID STEAL ME.
I NEED TO PROVE TO HIM WHAT I'M CAPABLE OF.
WE DON'T HAVE TO BE ORDINARY MAKE YOUR BEST MISTAKES FOR MY KNOCKOUT, I'VE PICKED "LIFE OF THE PARTY" BY SHAWN MENDES.
THE LYRICS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN SOMETHING THAT I'VE HELD CLOSE TO ME BECAUSE IT SAYS "WE DON'T HAVE TO BE ORDINARY," AND I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING A LOT OF TEENAGERS NEED TO HEAR.
FIRST OF ALL, YOUR TONE IS THE REASON WHY I STOLE YOU TO BEGIN WITH.
IT IS AMAZING.
YOUR TONE IS RIDICULOUS.
I MEAN, IT'S JUST BUTTER.
THANK YOU.
IT'S ONE THING TO HAVE A VOICE, BUT TO USE IT PROPERLY.
I MEAN, YOU NEED TO BE LIKE WE DON'T HAVE TO BE ORDINARY LIKE, YOU GOT TO GIVE IT, YOU KNOW? LIKE, YOU REALLY HAVE TO BRING EVERYBODY IN AND SHOW WHAT IT MEANS TO YOU AND -- AND SHOW ALL OF US.
I-I THINK THAT YOU CAN DO THAT.
JACOB, I'M A BIG FAN OF HIS VOICE.
WE DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO BE SORRY BUT THE EMOTION, THE FEELING, AND THE CONNECTION THAT YOU CAN HAVE WITH PEOPLE, LIKE, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT JACOB NEEDS TO DEFINITELY LEARN IF HE WANTS TO CONTINUE.
YOU'VE BEEN DOING THIS, AND NO ONE KNOWS WHO YOU ARE.
YEAH.
YEAH.
BUT WHEN YOU COME OUT AND SAY, WE DON'T HAVE TO BE ORDINARY YOU KNOW, WE KNOW WHO YOU ARE.
YEAH.
YOU'RE NOT IN THAT SHELL.
THERE'S SO MUCH MORE TO WHAT YOU HAVE TO OFFER.
YEAH.
YOU CANNOT CAMOUFLAGE INTO THE STAGE.
IF I'M GONNA WIN MY KNOCKOUT, I DEFINITELY NEED TO CONNECT TO THE SONG AND WORK ON MY MOTION AROUND THE STAGE.
I'M GONNA SHOW PHARRELL THAT HE DID NOT MAKE A MISTAKE BY STEALING ME.
WITH "LIFE OF THE PARTY," HERE IS JACOB RUMMELL.
I LOVE IT WHEN YOU JUST DON'T CARE I LOVE IT WHEN YOU DANCE LIKE THERE'S NOBODY THERE WHEN IT GETS HARD, DON'T BE AFRAID WE DON'T CARE WHAT THEM PEOPLE SAY WE DON'T HAVE TO BE ORDINARY MAKE YOUR BEST MISTAKES WE DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO BE SORRY BABY, BE THE LIFE OF THE PARTY COME OUT TONIGHT, COME OUT TONIGHT THERE'S NO ONE STANDING IN YOUR WAY COME OUT TONIGHT, COME OUT TONIGHT WE DON'T CARE WHAT THEM PEOPLE SAY NO, WE DON'T CARE WHAT THEM PEOPLE SA-A-A-Y WE DON'T HAVE TO BE ORDINARY MAKE YOUR BEST MISTAKES WE DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO BE SORRY BABY, BE THE LIFE OF THE PARTY YEAH YEAH YEAH OOOOOOH BABY, BE THE LIFE OF THE PARTY [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE .]
TALKIN' 'BOUT, TALKIN' 'BOUT Daly: STILL TO COME TALKIN' 'BOUT MY GIRL BUT I DON'T THINK I NEED YOU Daly: SHOWSTOPPING PERFORMANCES YOU WON'T WANT TO MISS.
OOOOOOH Daly: AND ONE ARTIST GETS A SECOND CHANCE.
THERE IT IS! I'VE GOT SUNSHINE ON A CLOUDY DAY [ CHUCKLES .]
I LIKE THIS SONG, Y'ALL.
SEE, WHEN IT'S COLD OUTSIDE I'VE GOT THE MONTH OF MAY SEE, LISTEN.
I GUESS YOU'D SAY WHAT CAN MAKE ME FEEL THIS WAY MY GIRL MY GIRL MY GIRL TALKIN' 'BOUT MY GIRL MY GIRL [ Falsetto .]
I'VE GOT SO-O-O-O MUCH HONEY ALL THE BEES ENVY ME, YEAH MM, SEE I'VE GOT A SWEETER SONG THAN THE BIRDS IN THE TREES YEAH I GUESS YOU'D SAY WHAT CAN MAKE ME FEEL THIS WAY MY GIRL MY GIRL TALKIN' 'BOUT MY GIRL MY GIRL TALKIN' 'BOUT MY GIRL OOOOOOOH [ Falsetto .]
TALKIN' 'BOUT MY GIRL MY GIRL TALKIN' 'BOUT MY GIRL OH, OH, OOOOOH TALKIN' 'BOUT, TALKIN' 'BOUT TALKIN' 'BOUT MY GIRL OOOOOH OOOOOOH [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE .]
Daly: ALL RIGHT, GIVE IT UP FOR JACOB AND LOWELL, EVERYBODY! TEAM PHARRELL! WE'LL START WITH ADAM.
I TURNED AROUND FOR BOTH YOU GUYS.
JACOB, YOU HAVE A GREAT VOICE, MAN, AND -- AND I THINK THERE'S STILL SKILL SETS THAT WE'RE NOT SEEING EVEN.
THANK YOU.
AND, LOWELL, YOU DEFINITELY GO THE RIGHT APPROACH, BUT THE ROLE YOU'RE PLAYING KIND OF OVERSHADOWED THE VOCAL HERE.
BUT THAT'S JUST WHAT I SAW.
Daly: THANK YOU, ADAM.
THANK YOU.
LET'S GO TO BLAKE.
HEY, LOWELL, I THOUGHT YOU SANG GREAT.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU, BLAKE.
YEAH.
AND THERE'S MY BOY, JACOB, THERE.
MAN, I THINK THE WORLD OF YOU.
MUSIC IS A BIG DEAL TO YOU.
THAT'S WHY HE HAS THAT HUGE GRIN ON HIS FACE, AND -- AND IT'S INFECTIOUS, AND YOU HAVE AN INCREDIBLE VOICE.
NO KIDDING.
I ACTUALLY WANT TO GIVE KUDOS TO YOU, JACOB, BECAUSE I WAS DOWN WITH YOUR PARTY.
I REALLY THOUGHT THAT YOUR NOTES WERE WELL-EXECUTED, AND YOU WERE JUST UP THERE SINGING 'CAUSE IT SEEMED LIKE YOU -- YOU LIKED IT.
AND, LOWELL, THERE WAS SOMETHING A LITTLE MORE PRE-CALCULATED ABOUT IT.
THAT LAUGH CAUGHT ME A LITTLE OFF GUARD.
I'VE COME TO APPRECIATE WHAT YOU DO, BUT I THINK IT JUST DIDN'T QUITE HIT THAT MARK TODAY.
FOR ME, IT WAS JACOB.
Daly: ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU, COACH CHRISTINA.
PHARRELL, IT ALL COMES DOWN TO YOU.
WHAT DO YOU THINK? JACOB, I FELT LIKE YOU SANG SO CLEARLY, AND YOUR TONE IS -- IS A BEAUTIFUL TONE.
BUT I'M ALWAYS LOOKING TO SEE WHETHER YOU'LL GO TO A LOWER OCTAVE OR SHOW MORE COLORS.
LOWELL, I FELT LIKE YOUR REHEARSAL WAS DEFINITELY BETTER THAN YOUR PERFORMANCE TODAY.
I FELT LIKE THAT GIGGLE WAS MORE OF AN UNCOMFORTABLE THING, AND I THINK YOU WERE RIGHT.
I THINK HE DID STUMBLE.
THAT BEING SAID, I FEEL LIKE I KNOW YOU, AND I FEEL LIKE I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT WE COULD DO.
IT MAKES IT TOUGH BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE THERE'S SO MUCH MORE WORK WE COULD DO, JACOB, TOGETHER, SO IT IS A VERY TOUGH DECISION, CARSON.
PHARRELL, WHO'S THE WINNER OF THIS KNOCKOUT? [ AUDIENCE SHOUTING .]
THE WINNER OF THIS KNOCKOUT ROUND IS LOWELL.
LOWELL MOVES ON TO THE LIVE PLAYOFFS! [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE .]
Lowell: I DIDN'T EXECUTE THE WAY I WANTED TO, BUT I'M PROUD OF MYSELF FOR TAKING THE RISK.
TAKING ME INTO THE LIVE PLAYOFFS, PHARRELL IS TAKING A BIG CHANCE WITH ME, AND I'M SO THANKFUL.
COACHES, LET ME REMIND YOU JACOB IS AVAILABLE TO STEAL.
JACOB, ANYTHING YOU WANT TO SAY TO YOUR COACH? YOU TAUGHT ME SO MUCH THAT I CAN TAKE WITH ME, AND I THANK YOU FOR THAT.
AND THANK YOU TO BLAKE FOR BEING AWESOME.
HOW ABOUT A BIG HAND FOR JACOB RUMMELL? [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE .]
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
JACOB'S PERFORMANCE WAS STRONGER, BUT HE ONLY USES A SMALL PORTION OF HIS RANGE.
AWESOME JOB.
THANK YOU.
Christina: JACOB IS AWESOME.
I DIDN'T STEAL HIM BECAUSE I HAD MY EYE ON SOMEONE ELSE.
IT MEANS THE WORLD TO -- TO HAVE PHARRELL WORKING WITH ME.
I -- HEY.
[ LAUGHS .]
I TRIED TO LET LOOSE.
IF YOU HAVE FUN, YOU'RE GOOD.
BUT HAVE FUN CONCENTRATING ON THAT VOCAL.
YEAH.
GET OUT OF THIS, START USING THIS.
I'M TELLING YOU.
I'VE SAVED YOU TWICE BECAUSE I BELIEVE IN YOU.
BUT NOW YOU HAVE TO STAR TO BELIEVE IN YOU.
I WILL.
'CAUSE YOU'RE SPECIAL, AND YOU'RE DIFFERENT.
WE'LL GET THIS.
LET'S DO IT.
Daly: HERE'S PHARRELL'S LOCKED LIVE PLAYOFF TEAM.
Pharrell: MY TEAM IS SHAPING UP TO BE A FORCE.
I HAVE FIVE INCREDIBLE ARTISTS THAT KNOW WHAT THEY WANT TO DO AND KNOW WHO THEY ARE.
I LOVE MY TEAM.
Daly: COMING UP SHOULD I GIVE UP OR SHOULD I JUST KEEP CHASING PAVEMENTS? Daly: NATE RUESS LETS HIS GUARD DOWN TO HELP AN ARTIST OPEN UP.
THAT WAS A GREAT EXAMPLE.
YEAH.
AND LATER [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE .]
THERE IT IS! A SHOCKING ENDING TO THE KNOCKOUTS.
HERE, HERE! THIS IS "THE VOICE" Daly: WELCOME BACK TO THE KNOCKOUTS.
NOW LET'S MEET CHRISTINA'S FINAL KNOCKOUT PAIRING.
Christina: I PAIRED TREEVA AND ROB BECAUSE THEY BOTH SHARE GREAT FALSETTO ABILITY, AND I WANTED TO SEE THEM SORT OF BRING THAT TO LIFE.
I'VE BEEN SINGING MY WHOLE LIFE, BUT I KIND OF HAD TO PUT IT ON HOLD FOR A LITTLE WHILE BECAUSE MY MOM HAD A STROKE.
SO COMING ON "THE VOICE" WAS A CHANCE FOR ME TO RECONNECT WITH MUSIC.
[ Falsetto .]
I WANT YOU BABY I ENDED UP GOING WITH CHRISTINA 'CAUSE SHE CAME OUT THERE, LIKE, ALL GUNS BLAZING.
I WANT YOU I WANT IT.
FOR MY BATTLE, I JUST FEEL HUMBLED THAT CHRISTINA CHOSE ME.
YOU HAVE THIS ABILITY TO GO INTO YOUR HIGHER REGISTER THAT IS SO STRONG.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE .]
WELL, AFTER PUTTING MUSIC ON HOLD TO TAKE CARE OF MY MOM, THIS IS FINALLY MY CHANCE TO DO SOMETHING FOR ME.
HEY, ROB! HEY, Y'ALL.
NATE RUESS.
HELLO.
WHAT'S GOING ON, BROTHER? HOW ARE YOU? HOW YOU DOING, MAN? TO HAVE SOMEBODY LIKE NATE RUESS WHO SINGS HIGH AND CAN DO ALL THESE AMAZING NOTES, TO GET HIS ADVICE, I MEAN, IT'S AWESOME.
SO, WHAT'S THE SONG WE HAVE HERE? "LOVE AND HAPPINESS" BY AL GREEN.
WELL, I HEARD YOUR FALSETTO.
IT'S AWESOME.
THANK YOU.
AL GREEN'S A COOL CHOICE FOR THAT, OBVIOUSLY.
YEAH.
OH, OH, LOVE AND HAPPINESS HEY! THIS SONG IS PERFECT FOR ME BECAUSE I WOULD CONSIDER MYSELF AN R&B/SOUL TYPE OF ARTIST, AND I FEEL LIKE THIS IS TRUE AND PURE SOUL.
OOH-HOO [ LAUGHS .]
OH, ROB! Nate: THAT WAS AWESOME.
MY FAVORITE THING ABOUT YOU, WITHOUT A DOUBT, ARE JUST THE -- "YEAH," YOU KNOW, YOU'RE SO INTO I THAT YOU KIND OF JUST THROW IN A COUPLE OF [GRUNTS.]
"YEAH.
" [ LAUGHS .]
I LOVE THAT.
THE MORE, LIKE, YOU CAN ENGAGE, THAT'S GETTING INTO IT, AND THAT'S DRAWING EVERYBODY IN.
HE HAD GREAT ENERGY.
YOU SAW THE CONFIDENCE, AND THAT'S A GOOD THING.
YOU WANT HIM TO EMBRACE THAT.
YOU WENT UP INTO YOUR FALSETTO, AND THEN I THINK YOU CAME BACK DOWN FOR A LITTLE BIT.
MM-HMM.
I WOULD LIKE YOU TO BRING I A LITTLE HIGHER.
SO, EVEN IF IT'S LIKE A MAKE YOU COME HOME EARLY MM-HMM.
STAY UP ALL NIGHT LIKE, SOMETHING IN THAT RANGE AND BELTED.
LOVE AND HAPPINESS Christina: ROB ALREADY KNOWS HE'S A GREAT SINGER, BUT I THINK WHAT HE NEEDS TO DO IS NOT RELY ON JUST THAT.
ROB CAN IMPROVE ON MAKING SURE THAT HE'S PUTTING HIS OWN FLAVOR WITH IT.
EVEN WHEN YOU SAY "MAKE YOU STAY OUT ALL NIGHT," DO A MAKE YOU STAY OUT ALL NIGHT YEAH.
PUNCH IT.
OH, MAKE YOU STAY OUT ALL NIGHT LONG I DO FEEL LIKE IT'S GONNA BE A CHALLENGE FOR ME TO GET TO THOSE NOTES THAT CHRISTINA WANTS ME TO GET.
[ Falsetto .]
OHHHHH I FEEL LIKE THAT IS SOMEWHERE WHERE I CAN DEFINITELY BE STRONGER.
I NEED TO MAKE STATEMENTS IN THE SONG.
OOOH-HOOO Treeva: I GREW UP WITH TWO DEAF PARENTS, AND IT'S SUCH AN AMAZING GIFT TO HAVE THEM BE ABLE TO FINALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT I LOVE TO DO.
IN THE BLINDS, CHRISTINA AND BLAKE TURNED AROUND.
I PICK CHRISTINA.
WHOO! HAVING CHRISTINA AS MY COACH HAS BEEN SO AMAZING.
I CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR MORE ABOUT YOUR STORY.
YOUR PARENTS, BOTH ARE DEAF? YEAH, AND I HAVE A BIT OF A HEARING LOSS, TOO.
CAN I JUST HEAR YOU GUYS SCREAM FOR A SECOND? JUST LIKE, AAAAAAAAH!! [ EXHALES SHARPLY .]
SHE GIVES NOTES IN A REALLY UNIQUE WAY THAT ARE REALLY, REALLY HELPFUL.
IT'S CLOSER TO THE TRUTH TO SAY YOU CAN'T GET ENOUGH YOU HAVE A LOT OF TRICKS UP YOUR SLEEVE, AND YOU'RE ONLY 17 SO YOU'RE THIS SWEET, LITTLE PACKAGE AND INNOCENT IN YOUR TONE, AND THEN A MONSTER COMES OUT.
GETTING TO THIS POINT, I'VE ALREADY LEARNED SO MUCH, AND I HOPE I ONLY GET TO KEEP MOVING ON.
IF I TELL THE WORLD FOR MY KNOCKOUT, I CHOSE "CHASING PAVEMENTS" BY ADELE.
SHOULD I GIVE UP I'VE GROWN UP ALWAYS WANTING TO BE A SINGER, BUT COMING FROM THE DEAF COMMUNITY, I NEVER THOUGHT I COULD DO IT.
EVEN IF IT AND SO, "SHOULD I GIVE UP, OR SHOULD I JUST KEEP GOING ON" IS EXACTLY MY SITUATION.
WELL, I FINALLY GOT TO HEAR A LITTLE BIT MORE OF THAT BELTING TIGER COME OUT.
RIGHT? Nate: YEAH, I LIKE THAT YOU'RE GOING FOR IT ON THIS SONG.
IT'S COOL THAT YOU'RE SHOWING YOUR RANGE.
YEAH.
PART OF THE CHALLENGE FOR YOU, PICKING A SONG THAT KIND OF BOUNCES BACK AND FORTH.
WHEN YOU'RE TRANSITIONING INTO YOUR HIGHER BELTING REGISTER, IT'S HARD TO COME BACK DOWN AND MAKE YOUR LOWER TONES JUST AS RICH.
I'M REALLY EXCITED THAT TREEVA WANTED TO USE MORE OF HER CHEST VOICE.
I THINK THE THING TO FOCUS ON FOR HER IS TO NOT HOLD BACK.
I WANT TO SEE A PERFORMANCE AS MUCH AS ANYTHING.
YOU REALLY HAVE TO BRING IT.
YOU KNOW, YOU DIDN'T USE THE STAGE AT ALL.
MAY I SEE THAT REAL QUICK? OF COURSE.
THAT SONG HAS SUCH A NICE RHYTHM AND SUCH A GOOD CADENCE.
THAT'S WHERE SHE CAN FIND HER ENERGY SOMETIMES.
SHOULD I GIVE UP OR SHOULD I JUST KEEP CHASING PAVEMENTS? IN RETROSPECT, I DIDN'T MEAN TO MOVE THAT MUCH.
I LOOK LIKE ONE OF THOSE CAR-SALES, LIKE, BENDY THINGS.
THAT WAS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF EMBODYING YEAH.
LIKE, JUST PUTTING YOUR HEART -- LIKE, STOMP, LIKE, WHATEVER IT IS, JUST LET YOUR BODY FREE.
PRACTICE HITTING EVERY CORNER IN YOUR ROOM.
START GETTING USED TO, LIKE, MOVING AND, LIKE, JUST PUTTING YOUR ARMS OUT.
[ LAUGHS .]
NO, SERIOUSLY.
LIKE, FEELING SILLY AND LETTING GO IS BETTER THAN PLAYING IT SAFE.
SHE NEEDS TO BE A STORYTELLER, AND SO I NEED HER TO LET HER GUARD DOWN AND BRING HERSELF TO THE SURFACE AND SHARE THAT WITH THE AUDIENCE.
THIS IS YOUR TIME, HONEY.

Daly: THAT IS TREEVA AND ROB IN THE KNOCKOUT FOR TEAM CHRISTINA.
GIVE IT UP FOR THEM.
PHARRELL, WE'LL START WITH YOU.
SOME THOUGHTS.
ROB, "LOVE AND HAPPINESS" WAS A GREAT CHOICE.
I FELT LIKE YOU HARNESSED IT PERFECTLY.
YOU EFFORTLESSLY WENT INTO FALSE THREE DIFFERENT TIMES, AND EVEN WENT INTO THE WHISTLE CATEGORY.
I THOUGHT YOU DID A REALLY GOOD JOB.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE .]
TREEVA, I THOUGHT THERE WERE SOME MOMENTS THAT WERE SHAKY.
THERE WERE SOME MOMENTS WHERE, LIKE, YOUR INTENTION COMPLETELY MATCHED WITH YOUR CAPABILITIES.
THANK YOU.
BUT IF I HAD TO MAKE A CHOICE RIGHT NOW, I PROBABLY WOULD GO WITH ROB.
Daly: THANK YOU, PHARRELL.
ADAM? Adam: YOU KNOW, ROB, FOR YOU TO HAVE SUCH A GREAT FALSETTO THAT MATCHES THE POWER OF YOUR REGULAR VOICE, THAT'S ONE OF THE COOLEST THINGS.
YOU'RE SO ANIMATED, TOO.
I LOVE THAT.
LIKE, THAT'S WHAT MAKES ME WANT TO SEE YOU.
TREEVA, YOU KNOW, ADELE -- THAT'S, LIKE, SUPER HARD.
WE CAN'T HELP SOMETIMES BUT COMPARE IT TO THAT, BUT, YOU KNOW, THERE WAS ONE MOMEN WHERE YOU JUMPED ABOVE THE MAIN LINE, WHICH I THOUGHT WAS YOUR STRONGEST MOMENT.
AND IF I'M CHRISTINA, I'M THINKING, "WOW, THAT MOMENT IS SOMETHING TO REALLY LOOK AT.
" IT'S GONNA BE A TOUGH CALL.
THANK YOU, ADAM.
BLAKE? ROB, THE WAY YOU STARTED THAT SONG, I MEAN, YOU COULD'VE STOPPED SINGING AT THAT POIN AFTER ALL THAT COOL STUFF YOU DID AT THE BEGINNING AND STILL HAD ME.
TREEVA, YOU SOUND LIKE YOU'RE 17, BUT YOU STILL HAVE THIS RANGE.
THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT THAT THAT DRAWS ME INTO WHAT YOU DO, TREEVA.
ALL RIGHT, BLAKE, THANK YOU.
CHRISTINA, WHAT'D YOU THINK? TREEVA, IT'S REALLY SPECIAL WHAT YOU DO, AND I KNOW ONE OF THE BIGGEST CHALLENGES WAS TO BRING YOU OUT OF YOUR SHELL VISUALLY.
AND I SAW YOU TAKE A LEAP OUT THERE AND -- AND DO IT, SO I'M REALLY, REALLY PROUD OF YOU.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE .]
THANK YOU.
WHOO! AND, ROB, YOU KNOW I'M A BIG FAN.
I LOVE WHAT YOU DO.
AND I THINK YOU TOOK THAT SONG AND REALLY DID MAKE IT YOUR OWN.
IF I WERE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH YOU, I'M THINKING, "OH, MY GOSH.
LET'S REALLY CHANGE IT UP.
LET'S DO SOMETHING TOTALLY UNEXPECTED.
" CHRISTINA, WE KNOW IT'S A DIFFICULT DECISION.
WHO IS THE WINNER OF THIS KNOCKOUT? UM, I IN THIS CASE, THE WINNER OF THIS KNOCKOUT IS ROB.
ROB'S GONNA MOVE ON.
CONGRATULATIONS.
YES! THANK YOU SO MUCH.
LOVE YOU.
Rob: GOING FORWARD, I AM VERY EXCITED TO TRY NEW THINGS, STRETCH AS AN ARTIST, AND I KNOW CHRISTINA'S THE ONE TO HELP ME DO THAT.
I'M GOING TO THE LIVE PLAYOFFS.
WHOO! [ LAUGHS .]
Daly: TREEVA, WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO SAY TO YOUR COACH, CHRISTINA? I WANT TO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING YOU'VE DONE FOR ME BECAUSE I'VE NEVER HAD AN OPPORTUNITY THIS HUGE.
[ Voice breaking .]
AND I'M NOT GONNA GET ONE LIKE THAT AGAIN IN A LONG TIME.
I REALLY LEARNED SO MUCH, AND I'M REALLY THANKFUL TO BE HERE.
THANK YOU.
AWW.
WE WERE THANKFUL TO HAVE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
TREEVA GIBSON, EVERYBODY.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE .]
GIVE IT UP FOR HER.
THANK YOU, TREEVA.
THAT'S THE BEST ATTITUDE TO HAVE, AND HONESTLY, p! I THINK YOU'RE WRONG.
YOU WILL HAVE A CHANCE TO SHOWCASE YOUR TALENT.
AND NOW JUST TAKE EVERYTHING YOU'VE LEARNED AND EMBELLISH ON IT, OKAY? THANK YOU.
GOOD LUCK.
Daly: TREEVA GIBSON, EVERYBODY.
I AM SO PROUD OF YOU RIGHT NOW.
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.
I LOVE YOU, TOO, MY BABY.
THANKS, MAMA.
I LOVE YOU.
I'M GOING TO THE LIVE, YO.
YES, HE'S GOING TO THE LIVES! [ LAUGHTER .]
I'M SO EXCITED TO SEE WHAT MORE HE HAS TO OFFER.
WE'RE GONNA HAVE FUN.
THANKS, GUYS.
Rob: THANK YOU.
HE CAN TAKE IT TO THE END.
DID YOU WIPE YOUR FEET ON IT AGAIN? [ LAUGHTER .]
DID YOU STEP -- DID YOU STOMP ON MY SEAT? [ LAUGHTER .]
NO! GIVE IT BACK! YOU GAVE IT TO ME! [ LAUGHS .]
IT'S WAS GIFT! IT'S A HEART 'CAUSE I LOVE YOU.
[ LAUGHTER .]
SHOCK ME LIKE AN ELECTRIC EEL I'M GOING CRAZY Daly: YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THE WINNERS' FULL VERSIONS OF TONIGHT'S KNOCKOUT PERFORMANCES, AND NATE RUESS' NEW SOLO SINGLE, "NOTHING WITHOUT LOVE," NOW ON iTUNES.
I'M NOTHING WITHOUT LOVE COMING UP, A KNOCKOUT THAT SURPRISES OUR COACHES.
THIS IS PROBABLY THE KNOCKOU THAT SHOCKED ME THE MOST.
AND BLAKE FALLS IN LOVE WITH ONE ARTIST.
I REALLY WANTED TO SPOON WITH YOU.
[ LAUGHTER .]
AND I'LL TAKE WHICHEVER SIDE YOU'RE COMFORTABLE WITH.
OKAY.
THIS IS "THE VOICE" Daly: WELCOME BACK TO THE FINAL NIGHT OF THE KNOCKOUTS.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE FINAL PAIRING OF THE NIGHT.
Adam: JOSH AND LEXI, I NEEDED TO GIVE LEXI A SERIOUS CHALLENGE.
SHE STRUGGLED WITH CONFIDENCE ISSUES.
JOSH IS A NEW MEMBER OF MY TEAM, AND HE'S DEFINITELY COMMITTED.
THEY HAVE A MISSION TO PROVE THEMSELVES.
GOOD LUCK.
[ SMOOCHES .]
THANKS, HONEY.
I LOVE YOU.
Josh: BEING A WORKING MUSICIAN AND HAVING A FAMILY, IT IS DIFFICULT.
[ ALL CHEERING .]
ADAM AND BLAKE TURNED AROUND FOR ME.
MY ROOTS ARE VERY MUCH IN EVERYTHING THAT I FEEL LIKE YOU LOVE, AS WELL.
I'VE GOT TO PICK BLAKE.
YES! Josh: AT THAT MOMENT, I WENT WITH MY GUT AND I CHOSE BLAKE.
KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCKIN' ON HEAVEN'S DOOR [ BABY CRIES .]
THE BATTLE ROUNDS WERE SUCH A WHIRLWIND THAT I DIDN'T EVEN REALLY GET TO FEEL LET DOWN.
WE GOT A STEAL! JUST GET OUT OF HERE BEFORE SOMEONE ELSE PUSHES.
[ LAUGHTER .]
TO BE ABLE TO WORK WITH BLAKE AND HAVE THAT INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE, AND THEN TO ALSO BE ABLE TO WORK WITH ADAM IS REALLY, I THINK, THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS.
Adam: YOU KNOW THIS GUY? YES.
IT'S ME -- TAYLOR SWIFT.
YES, I DO.
TAYLOR SWIFT AGAIN.
HEY, YEAH, YEAH.
HEY.
GREAT TO MEET YOU.
HAPPY TO BE BACK.
HOW YOU DOING? GOOD, GOOD.
SHE'S CHANGED HER LOOK.
IT'S AN HONOR TO MEET YOU.
THANK YOU.
LIKEWISE.
HEY.
HOW ARE YOU? WHAT'S UP, BUDDY? I GOT TO SEE "KNOCKIN' ON HEAVEN'S DOOR.
" IT WAS FREAKING FANTASTIC.
OH, THANKS SO MUCH.
WHAT SONG ARE YOU DOING TODAY? I AM DOING AMOS LEE'S "IN THE ARMS OF A WOMAN.
" COOL.
I AM AT EASE IN THE ARMS OF A WOMAN I'M SINGING THIS SONG FOR MY WIFE.
SHE'S ALWAYS BEEN ROOTING FOR ME.
SHE'S SACRIFICED A LOT SO THAT I CAN DO WHAT I LOVE, AND I WANT TO GIVE SOMETHING BACK TO HER.
BACK HOME Adam: YOU GOT A GREAT VOICE, MAN.
IT TAKES ME TO A VERY COOL PLACE.
THANKS SO MUCH FOR SAYING SO.
JOSH IS MY STEAL.
I'M SO HAPPY TO HAVE HIM.
HE'S SO GOOD.
I LOVE THE SONG.
I LOVE THE SONG FOR HIM.
WHAT I DO THINK THAT, STRATEGICALLY SPEAKING -- YEAH, GIVE IT TO ME.
IT CAN LULL YOU TOO MUCH IF YOU AREN'T CAREFUL.
Nate: MM-HMM.
YEAH.
SO, SOMETHING NEEDS TO KIND OF HAPPEN TOWARDS THE END THAT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE OF AN EXPLOSION.
YEAH, SOMETHING THAT JUST BUILDS UP AND IS A -- IS A CLIMAX.
YEAH, I WOULD JUST TRY AND BE MORE AWARE OF WHEN YOUR VOICE GETS INTO MORE OF, LIKE, A GROWL.
OKAY.
YES.
YEAH, AND I THINK SOMETIMES WHEN YOU TRY TO GROWL IT HIGH, YOU LOSE A LITTLE CONTROL.
AND IT, AS WEIRD AS IT SOUNDS, BECOMES A LITTLE LESS SINCERE.
YEP.
THAT MAKES SENSE.
MM-HMM.
Nate: JOSH, HE'S GOT ENOUGH SOUL THAT HE DOESN'T NEED TO ADD SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
THERE'S A PEACEFULNESS TO HIM THAT PEOPLE PAY TO SEE.
Nate: GREAT JOB.
GREAT JOB.
THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH.
Josh: THERE'S TONS OF PRESSURE TO REALLY GET THE CLIMAX OF THIS TUNE RIGHT, AND I JUST GOT TO PUT MY HEART INTO IT.
BEFORE THE BLINDS, I WAS REALLY QUIET.
I'M A JUNIOR IN HIGH SCHOOL, AND I'VE ALWAYS BEEN KIND OF SHY.
AND I WISH ON A STAR YOU HAVE EVERYTHING IT TAKES OTHER THAN WE GOT TO GET YOU OVER THOSE NERVES.
IF IT'S AT A 7 RIGHT NOW, WE CAN BRING IT TO A 10.
I PICK ADAM.
YES.
NO! AFTER WORKING WITH ADAM, ALL MY SHYNESS AND EVERYTHING, LIKE, IT JUST KIND OF LEFT.
I'M SO PROUD OF YOU.
Daly: LEXI MOVES ON TO THE KNOCKOUTS.
YOU DID GREAT.
WHAT SONG ARE YOU GONNA SING FOR US? I'M SINGING "ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN" BY ELLIE GOULDING.
NICE.
I'VE COVERED THAT SONG BEFORE.
IT BUILDS IN SUCH A WAY THAT IS INSPIRING, BUT YOU CANNOT THINK ABOUT IT TOO MUCH.
YEAH.
THANK YOU.
CONFIDENCE HAS BEEN A LOOMING ISSUE, BUT AFTER THE BATTLE ROUND, I WOULD SAY THAT YOUR IMPROVEMENT WAS VAST.
THAT'S WHY YOU WON THAT -- THAT BATTLE ROUND.
SO, SING THIS AWESOME SONG, AND WE'LL TALK.
OKAY.
STRIPPED TO THE WAIST WE FALL INTO THE RIVER Lexi: I REALLY WANTED TO CHOOSE A SONG THAT WOULD SHOW OFF MY HIGHER REGISTER BECAUSE DURING THE BATTLES, THE COACHES HAD TOLD ME MY HIGH RANGE WASN'T REALLY SHOWING, AND SO I REALLY WANTED TO JUST PROVE TO THEM WHY I'M STILL HERE.
ALL RI-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-GHT WOW.
IT'S LIKE LEXI HAS THIS MONSTER BEAST OF A VOICE INSIDE.
I DID NOT KNOW YOU WERE THAT GOOD OF A SINGER.
YOU ALLUDED TO IT EARLY ON IN THE SONG.
BY THE TIME WE GOT DONE, I MEAN, THAT'S THE STUFF THAT PEOPLE JUST KILL TO HAVE.
THE END WAS AWESOME.
SO, I KNOW YOU CAN DO THE BEGINNING BETTER THAN THAT.
JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES, LOOSEN THOSE SHOULDERS A LITTLE BIT, AND IT'S GONNA BE ALL RIGHT.
[ LAUGHS .]
YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HAPPY I AM JUST TO HEAR YOU SAY THAT ABOUT HER.
THAT WAS A MASSIVE BREAKTHROUGH FOR YOU.
I WANT TO HEAR IT AGAIN.
LET'S DO IT AGAIN.
I GENUINELY WANT TO HEAR YOU DO IT AGAIN.
YEAH.
[ LAUGHS .]
YOU'VE ALREADY BLOWN US AWAY, SO JUST LOOSEN UP.
OKAY.
[ LAUGHS .]
Nate: THERE WAS ONE POINT IN THE SONG WHERE SHE JUST KIND OF LET IT OUT.
IT WAS A TREAT TO LISTEN TO, BUT SHE NEEDS TO FIND THAT MOMEN AND HARNESS THAT POWER A LITTLE BIT MORE.
THERE'S THAT ONE STOP RIGHT -- "ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN" RIGHT.
THAT I FELT LIKE IT SHOULD'VE BEEN A LITTLE BIGGER.
I WANT TO HEAR BUT I DON'T THINK I NEED YOU YEAH.
OKAY.
YOU KNOW, BUT THERE WERE, LIKE, A COUPLE OF NOTES THAT HAIR KIND OF RAISED ON THE BACK OF MY NECK.
[ LAUGHS .]
YOU JUST KEEP STORMING OUT OF THE GATES.
NOW YOU CAN DO ANYTHING.
THAT'S WHY I LOVE THIS SHOW, 'CAUSE LOOK WHAT HAPPENED.
LEXI CAME OUT HERE TODAY AND ASTONISHED BOTH MYSELF AND NATE.
AND JOSH HAS COMPETITION IN THIS KNOCKOUT.
THIS CHOICE IS GOING TO KILL ME.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE .]
WITH "ARMS OF A WOMAN," HERE IS JOSHUA DAVIS.
OHHH MOST DAYS I SPEND LIKE A CHILD WHO'S AFRAID OF GHOSTS IN THE NIGHT AND I KNOW AIN'T NOTHING OUT THERE I'M STILL AFRAID TO TURN ON THE LIGHT I AM AT EASE IN THE ARMS OF A WOMAN OF A WOMAN WHOO! ALTHOUGH NOW MOST OF MY DAYS ARE SPENT ALO-O-O-O-NE A THOUSAND MILES, THE PLACE I WAS BORN AHH, BU WAKES E WAKES ME TAKES SHE TAKES ME WAKES WHEN SHE WAKES ME TAKES SHE TAKES ME WAKES WHEN SHE WAKES ME SHE TAKES ME BACK HO-O-O-O-ME WHEN SHE WAKES ME SHE TAKES ME BACK HO-O-O-O-O-ME [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE .]
WHOO! Daly: COMING UP ALL RI-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-GHT Daly: THE FINAL PERFORMANCE OF THE KNOCKOUTS LEAVES ADAM WITH A GUT-WRENCHING DECISION.
WHOEVER I PICK, THE DOOR IS OPEN BECAUSE YOU'RE BOTH INCREDIBLY GOOD.
Daly: THERE IT IS! THIS IS "THE VOICE" Daly: WELCOME BACK TO THE KNOCKOUTS.
WITH "ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN," HERE IS LEXI DAVILA.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE .]
OOH, OOH, OOH, HOO OOH-OOH, HOO, OOH, OOH, HOO-OOH STRIPPED TO THE WAIST, WE FALL INTO THE RIVER COVER YOUR EYES SO YOU DON'T KNOW THE SECRET OH, I'VE BEEN TRYING TO HIDE, AND WE HELD OUR BREATH TO SEE OUR NAMES ARE WRITTEN ON THE WRECK OF '86 THAT WAS THE YEAR I KNEW THE PANIC WAS OVER YES, SINCE WE FOUND OUT SINCE WE FOUND OUT THAT ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN ANYTHING COULD, OOH-OOH OOH-OOH, OOH, OOH, HOO OOH-OOH, OOH, OOH, HOO OOH-OOH, HOO ANYTHING I'LL GIVE YOU EVERYTHING YOU NEED OH, BUT I DON'T THINK I NEED YOU IT'S GONNA BE I KNOW IT'S GONNA BE I KNOW IT'S GONNA BE I KNOW IT'S GONNA BE ALL RI-I-I-I-I-I-GHT O-O-O-OH, OOH-OOH, OOH OOH-OOH, HOO, OOH-OOH, HOO-OOH [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE .]
WOW.
Daly: GIVE IT UP FOR LEXI AND JOSHUA IN THE KNOCKOUT ROUND FOR TEAM ADAM.
YAY! LEXI! LEXI! WE'RE GONNA STAR WITH YOUR FORMER COACH THERE, BLAKE SHELTON.
Blake: LET ME START WITH LEXI.
WHEN YOU STARTED THE SONG, I THOUGHT, "UH, THIS IS -- THIS IS GONNA BE A TOUGH THING TO PULL OFF LIVE.
" BUT ABOUT HALFWAY, SOMETHING SWITCHED, AND IT WAS LIKE A DIFFERENT PERFORMANCE, ALL OF A SUDDEN.
I MEAN, YOU STARTED HITTING THESE NOTES WITH JUST DEAD-ON GREAT PRECISION.
AND THEN YOU DID THAT RUN THAT MADE PHARRELL STAND UP AND GET EXCITED.
THAT'S WHEN YOU KNOW YOU DID SOMETHING GOOD.
JOSHUA, I REALLY WANTED TO SPOON WITH YOU [ LAUGHTER .]
I UNDERSTAND.
AFTER -- AFTER THAT PERFORMANCE.
AND I'LL TAKE WHICHEVER SIDE YOU'RE COMFORTABLE WITH.
OKAY.
LET'S MOVE IT ON.
MOVE IT ALONG.
DUDE, MAN -- I MEAN, YOU JUST -- STOP HARASSING MY TEAM, PLEASE.
[ LAUGHS .]
I KNEW YOU WERE GREAT, BUT THAT IS EASILY THE BEST THAT I'VE HEARD YOU, AND IT JUST LOOKED LIKE A GUY WHO'S READY TO GO TO THE END OF THIS THING.
I WOULD PROBABLY GO WITH JOSHUA.
Daly: THANK YOU, BLAKE.
CHRISTINA.
THIS IS PROBABLY THE KNOCKOUT THAT SHOCKED ME THE MOS JUST BECAUSE I KNOW JOSHUA PULLS ON YOUR HEARTSTRINGS.
HE LITERALLY WILL START SINGING, AND YOU'RE IMMEDIATELY JUST LIKE -- YOU'RE, LIKE, FOCUSED IN ON, LIKE, WHAT HE'S DOING AND WHAT HE SOUNDS LIKE.
BUT, LEXI, YOU WERE THE BIG SHOCKER.
AS MUCH AS MAYBE I HATE IT BUT I HAVE TO COMMEND ADAM FOR COACHING YOU SO WELL.
[ LAUGHS .]
SHE EVEN SANG THAT.
I HATE IT I HATE IT I HATE IT THAT I HAVE TO PAY HIM A COMPLIMENT [ LAUGHTER .]
NO, BUT, I MEAN, ALL JOKES ASIDE, ADAM IS A GREAT COACH.
I MEAN, HIS TRACK RECORD SPEAKS FOR ITSELF, AND HONESTLY, LIKE, WHATEVER HE TOLD YOU -- I'M LOVING YOU RIGHT NOW.
YOU KNOW.
MORE.
MORE.
BUT -- BUT NO, SERIOUSLY, BASED OFF HOW SKILLFULLY HARD IT WAS TO CUT UP THAT SONG AND DO IT AS ACCURATE AS YOU DID, I WOULD SAY THIS BATTLE WOULD GO TO LEXI.
LET'S GET TO PHARRELL.
MAN, YOUR VOICE JUST ALREADY FEELS SO FAMILIAR, AND I FELT LIKE THAT WAS A MASTERFUL PERFORMANCE.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
IT WAS.
THANK YOU.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE .]
LEXI, I WAS LIKE, "MAN, I HOPE SHE CAN GET OVER HER NERVES.
" BUT I HAVE TO TELL YOU THAT YOU PERFORMED THAT SONG WITH SUCH ACCURACY.
'CAUSE USUALLY, THAT'S WHAT WILL DESTROY A PERFORMANCE, BUT IN FRONT OF THE LIGHTS AND THE CAMERAS AND YOUR FAMILY, PLUS NERVES, I HAVE TO GIVE IT TO YOU.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE .]
Daly: ADAM, IT ALL COMES DOWN TO YOU.
THIS IS ALL SO BITTERSWEE BECAUSE THIS WAS THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE THAT ANYBODY WAS GONNA HAVE TO FACE IN THE KNOCKOUT ROUNDS -- WITH JOSHUA.
I KNEW THAT HE WAS GONNA BE CONSISTENT, AND YOUR BIGGEST BATTLE WAS AGAINST YOUR NERVES.
YOU MET THAT CHALLENGE, SO YOU MADE THIS REALLY BIG PAIN IN MY ASS IS WHAT I'M TRYING TO TELL YOU.
[ LIGHT LAUGHTER .]
AND I THANK YOU FOR THAT, BECAUSE THAT MEANS THAT YOU LISTENED AND THAT YOU DID AN AMAZING JOB.
Daly: ALL RIGHT, ADAM, WHO'S THE WINNER OF THIS KNOCKOUT? UM, WHOEVER I PICK, THE DOOR IS OPEN BECAUSE YOU'RE BOTH INCREDIBLY GOOD, BUT I THINK THAT FOR ME [ AUDIENCE SHOUTING .]
THE WINNER OF THIS KNOCKOU IS JOSHUA.
JOSHUA MOVES ON.
CONGRATULATIONS.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE .]
CONGRATS, MAN.
IT WAS A REALLY TENSE MOMENT, BUT IT FEELS GOOD.
ADAM SPEAKS MY LANGUAGE.
WE'RE JUST GETTING TO KNOW EACH OTHER, BUT TO -- FOR HIM TO HAVE THE FAITH IN ME TO -- TO KEEP THIS GOING INTO THE LIVE PLAYOFFS IS REALLY, REALLY EXCITING.
COACHES, LET ME REMIND YOU LEXI IS AVAILABLE TO STEAL.
LEXI, ANYTHING YOU WANT TO SAY TO YOUR COACH? I JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU -- YOU -- [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE .]
THERE IT IS! CHRISTINA AGUILERA STEALS LEXI FROM TEAM ADAM! THANK YOU FOR BEING SO DUMB, BECAUSE SHE'S MINE! [ LAUGHS EVILLY .]
Blake: YEAH! CHRISTINA STEALS LEXI! HEAR, HEAR! CONGRATULATIONS AND GO SEE YOUR NEW COACH, AND WE'LL SEE YOU IN THE LIVE PLAYOFFS.
THANK YOU, LOVE.
THANK YOU.
ALL RIGHT.
AWESOME.
OH, MY GOSH! I THOUGHT I WAS GOING HOME.
[ SIGHS .]
SO GRATEFUL FOR CHRISTINA.
THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT! I'VE LOOKED UP TO HER FOR SO LONG.
I'M SO HAPPY THAT I GET TO MOVE ON AND WORK FROM CHRISTINA.
[ LAUGHS .]
YOU'RE DUMB! SHE SAID IT! IT MUST BE TRUE.
[ LAUGHS .]
YEE-HAW! I NEED ANOTHER DRINK.
[ LAUGHTER .]
[ CHUCKLES .]
[ APPLAUSE .]
I THINK I MIGHT HAVE THE STRONGEST TEAM THAT I'VE EVER HAD.
THEY ARE ALL POWERHOUSES.
WHOO! I'M SUPER EXCITED TO MOVE ON TO THE LIVE PLAYOFFS 'CAUSE I KNOW MY TEAM IS GONNA KILL IT.
Adam: EVERYONE'S GOT A REALLY STRONG TEAM.
WE ARE THE UNDERDOGS, BUT TEAM ADAM IS REALLY AMAZING.
THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT FLAVORS ON MY TEAM.
SEASON 8 IS MY SEASON.
