They make me wonder where you are all the coaches! All four! I can't look at the staaaaaaaaaaaaaaars whoa! Oh, my God! What kind of artist would you like to be? I'm a country singer.
But you like other stuff, too I do.
I'm very open.
Stop wasting your time.
You will not question my line of questioning.
Where are you from, by the way, shelby? Alabama.
Are you? What town? Um, elberta.
Alberta? Elberta.
Alberta's in Canada.
Oh, that's right.

I totally didn't see that one coming.
Are you okay? She picked Adam and blew everyone's mind.
Like, how did Adam do that twice? Coming up Meet the final member of team Adam.
I think you're the most important person that's ever been on this show.
Welcome back to the best of the blind auditions.
We're catching you up on how our coaches built their teams of 12.
Joining team Adam was 21-year-old Jordan Smith from Kentucky, who shocked our coaches with his performance of "chandelier.
" Throw 'em back till I lose count what?! Like a bird through the night what?! Won't look down, won't open my eyes keep my glass full until morning light 'cause I'm just holding on for tonight thank you.
Wow! My baby! What?! I don't know if I'm happy or really scared! You do not look like your voice fyi.
I get that a lot.
But that's the super-coolest part about it.
It's all of that individuality standing onstage right now.
Thank you.
Jordan, do you mind Do you mind sharing your story? Um, sure.
Yeah.
So, I haven't always been the coolest person.
Yes, you are, but go ahead.
What are you talking about? I mean, I am now, but I haven't always been the coolest person.
That's the right answer! And, obviously, my voice is different.
I get called "ma'am" on the phone all the time.
Me too.
I get called "ma'am" at every drive-through.
Through that, I had to learn that being different is actually what made me special.
Yeah.
And so this, for me, is just an amazing opportunity to share that it's okay to be different and it's okay to be yourself, because you're made that way, and that's how God intended for you to be.
Wow.
Okay.
Everyone's standing up for you, dude.
Jordan, you are amazing! You just moved me so much today.
Thank you.
Thank you.
The song that you had chosen is probably one of the most challenging vocals for anybody to sing, let alone a male vocalist.
And seeing these people smiling and clapping and seeing these guys and their reaction to you was such a beautiful experience.
And thank you, Jordan.
That was really amazing.
Thank you.
I appreciate that a lot.
I think you're the most important person that's ever been on this show.
I really do.
I really do.
I was so enamored by what was happening around me.
It was like he was lifting every single person in the room, and he's a wonderful human being, and he's also a very talented human being.
I love when those things collide.
I pick Adam.
Jordan Smith was my soul mate.
And I can't believe that he didn't choose me.
I have to be honest I'm mad at Adam.
Whoo! My teamLs full! Adam's team of 12 special artists is complete.
Whoo! Team Adam is something to watch out for.
That was very ungentlemanlike.
Oh, for winning? Sorry! I got country music, I got rock 'n' roll, I have pop music, I have a little bit of R&B, I've got a Hungarian dude that sings soul music.
I have the greatest team I've ever had on the history of "the voice.
" You're killing me out here, man.
He's killing me.
He's awesome.
But first, Adam will have to coach his team through next week's exciting battles with the help of a rock 'n' roll hall-of-famer and grammy award winner John fogerty.
-Oh, my God.
-How are you? Oh, my goodness, our adviser was John fogerty.
I mean, he wrote the Tina Turner "proud Mary.
" Oh, my goodness! I was so excited.
But they'll never love you like I can, can, can they'll never love you like I can, can, can the battle rounds are great 'cause you start to really see the competition unfold.
It's just an exciting time It's like the first real look at the artists.
They'll never love you like I can, can, can they'll never love you like I can, can, can, oh oh! Whoo! You're singing a song John fogerty sings, and he's right in front of you.
What could you possibly have to be nervous about? The thoughts behind this song, it was a lot of anger.
There was the Vietnam war going on.
Right.
And I sat on the edge of my bed, and out came "it ain't me! It ain't me! I ain't no senator's son!" You know, it took about 20 minutes to write the song.
-Wow.
-That's so awesome.
It was one of the best moments I've ever had on this show.
That's when the passion and the unbridled craziness needs to, like, be smoldering.
They did a great version of my song.
I'm proud of that.
I don't know how he's gonna make a choice.
We did it again.
Levine and fogerty are crushing it! There you go.
The who were not a grounded-sounding band.
Everything was going crazy, right? I'm sure Roger even kind of goes off, you know? Went off, yeah.
Coming up, never-before-seen footage of our coaches.
You are a sociopath.

Love these schmancy, new chairs.
I like the chrome.
Very chic.

It's very futuristic.
Feel like we're in a spaceship.
The funniest things happen after we've been in those chairs for 10 hours.
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.
You know, Adam is constantly thinking about food.
I haven't eaten in a while.
I'm starving.
If he's not eating food No! He's talking about food.
I'm more of a sandwich artist myself, actually.
I'd kill a sandwich.
He's asking for food.
-I'm starving.
-Me too.
When is lunchtime? Yeah what an idiot.
I'm starving! You know, there's a new thing this year called a Gwen-ship.
Yeah, apparently, Adam and I's bromance is old news.
This is the first time I worked with Gwen, and every time I go in the studio, I'm like "it's Gwen.
" You dry-heave? I mean, she makes you do that.
They're very sweet to everybody, but they're very sweet on each other.
Pharrell I love you so much.
Aww.
All right.
Thank you.
You're definitely a weirdo.
I'm definitely a weirdo.
True.
Gwen is definitely a weirdo.
True! Clearly, you're one of us, and we're one of you.
But it's nice to have Gwen back, and, obviously, I love pharrell, and I love Blake, too.
As much as I bust his chops, I love him very much.
And he's like, "I'm from a place," and they're like, "well, I'm from a place," and like, "okay.
" Dumbest thing ever.
Can't you be from different places and, like, do stuff? Oh, my God! Crazy! I love when Adam and Blake go back and forth.
You know, it's like "the odd couple.
" He's still talking down there.
Look at him.
It's just a It's a dumb, stupid thing.
It's like, "hey, man, I'm from the place, and you're from a place, and let's kick it.
" .
But one guy is in a pop-rock band, and the other guy is from country.
You are a sociopath.
Should be ashamed of yourself.

This could be my entire life, and I feel like it's all coming to a point, so bring it on.
It's only a teenage wasteland was walking with my feet 10 feet off of beale whew! That was my favorite battle that I've ever seen.
The agonizing decision of who wins each battle is up to our coaches.
