Hi, everybody.
We're come wants to come on the show tonight.
We'd like to invite the entire audience to mocking Jay.
Right now, we will show you the journey over the yea Welcome back, everybody, we are live in Los Angeles, playoffs night two.
If you like what you are hearing, you can listen to all the live playoff songs on apple music.
Our performances start with a teen rocker from Virginia, with a song familiar to him.
Here is more now from Evan mckiel.
This week Evan will be singing "overjoyed" by Stevie wonder.
Though you never knew you I think everybody wants him to sing the whole song.
It was never done before.
We were all blown away.
This is different.
People couldn't vote for that song.
Whereas this is intentional.
It's a song that's very special to me.
The first time I heard it, I was watching tv with my parents.
Stevie performed it live when he hosted "snl.
" Pharrell understands the reason I want to do music.
I appreciate he supports who I want to be as an artist over me It's not a bad thing for people to see you feel.
The show is called "the voice.
" It's more so about the feel.
You just found your own way to connect with people.
Awesome.
Evan proved he is an all around singer.
He can sing every genre.
There are people super special.
Evan is one of them.
Here with "overjoyed" please welcome Evan mckeel over time I've been building my castle of love just for two though, you never knew you were my reason I've gone much too far for you now to say that I've got to throw my castle away though, you never knew it was because of you 've been dreaming the sandman has come from too far away for you to say come back some other day and though you don't believe that they do they do come true for did my dreams when I looked at you and maybe, if you would believe you, too, might be joets overjoyed overloved over me yeah what do they know for the chance baby with the chance you too might be overjoyed overloved over you over you scheers cheers Representing pharrell Williams, Evan mckeel.
3 f2 mc Let's start with Gwen.
Hi, Evan, wow, that song is so tough to do.
Your voice is so beautiful.
You sang it perfect.
I'm going to be really honest what I think.
Just once in a while in your performance like your body language and your stage presence, to me, sometimes it's a little almost too theatrical like to a point where it gets lost in watching some of the movements that look a little too thought out.
But the singing was crazy, crazy, but if you could just work on that honesty a littler mo, I think you are incredible.
Thank you so much, Gwen.
- Blake.
- Some of the notes, that was just the way he, you were able to navigate through that melody so perfectly.
It's unbelievable.
I agree with what Gwen is saying there, you know, but this is, this is a moment for you to prove what a great singer you are and I think you just did that, so great job, dude.
- Thank you, Blake.
- Back to your coach, - pharrell.
- Hey, man, I thought that was a great performance.
I think Blake is right.
There is a lot of great notes that you hit.
But also in terms of the body language for me, I read it as you being genuine.
I felt like, yeah, there are some moments that kind of felt awkward, but when you tell somebody you love them, it doesn't always work out.
You know what I mean.
So to me, I love that honesty.
Thank you.
You cleaned it up for me.
I felt like it was super genuine.
I think that's what makes the show so pure, you guys get to share that with people.
So great job.
If you want Evan in the top 12, you can vote for him at nbc.
Com.

There was no way after the battle of the amazing mark and the amazing that I That I could bring back anybody else.
I mean, she just, it was so hard to make that decision, Celeste.
I was hoping something would change in the season.
I honestly think she inspired such a big change and this is awesome We were in the rehearsal with yourcome back artist Celeste betton.
When I was asked to bring somebody back, I felt like a huge burden and weight was lifted off.
How did you feel when you got that call? I was so excited.
I'm just greatful.
Unfortunately, I didn't win my battle against mark.
But I still had faith.
Well it's my soul as well it seems like everything that I went through set me up for this - point.

It can't get benefit e any better than that.
I am singing "something in the water" by Carrie Underwood.
The lyrics say I'm changed, I'm stronger.
There must be something in the water I couldn't be more - intentional.
- I don't want the shortage of breath to get in the way of that connection.
I think Celeste needs to be herself.
Her super power is the ability to communicate.
Everyone not want wanting you to go.
That's a food thing.
Those are the mysteries we can't foresee that makes sense later.
It works.
You see what I mean? It works With "something in the water" please welcome Celeste betton.

- I wish I had that big baritone thing you got.
It will be a challenge for my - voice.
- It needs to have the pocket.
It's a shuf him.
It's a fast one.
If you are too laid back the song is dragging, think of it in terms of you are dragging the song around.
You get there and you are thinking, oh my God, I'm the brands new girlfriends.
I was in afternoon interview, homecoming is around the corner, sokol Lynn if you want a chance to go to homecoming.
I think girls my age start calling in, but their mothers.
What? You are a ladies man she's going to hang around Zach is only 17-years-old.
He's still figuring out who he is as an artist.
I think he's a heartthrob.
That itself the kind of artist he will be.
It will truly pay off for him in the long run.
That energy level way better.
I'm going to have to work extremely hard to prove to myself America and to Blake that I hopefully have a chance at winning this thing.
Singing "brands new girlfriend" here he is, Zach seabach she said I need some time? Itself to find myself I need a little space to think and maybe we should start seeing other people baby, things are moving way too fast for me so I picked up what was left of my pride and I put on my walking shoes and I got up from on that high road sntsz and I did what any gentleman would do I got a brand-new girlfriend we went and jumped off the deep end flew out to L.

Nice job, Zach.
You were gyrating your pelvis with your mother in the room.
The reason I feel, I pulled up the stuff you did, that's a dangerous thing to try to do all that.
But you did it.
You did it like, all of the stuff you were doing, one of the few that's ever been able to pull off all of the gyracings and the performance, for real, to, that is not something you want to pitch with unless you Zach, let's talk to your coach, Blake.

You got to stop thinking.
You need to genuinely get into yourself.

This song represents the kind of artist I want to be, kind of gospel the country side, a little of the blue side.
This may be one of my all time favorite song choices, the fact that she has a handle on what she wants to be as an artist, she's going to go far.
The breath, you got to get the biggest breath before you sing every line.
It's like you blended runs like Carrie Underwood the way you released your notes, some of the east Tennessee mountains sounds.
Emily is almost creating her own genre.
You've got an open Lane because there is nobody like you.
People love this.
I hope so.

Right now, we will show you the journey over the yea Welcome back, everybody, we are live in Los Angeles, playoffs night two.

Our performances start with a teen rocker from Virginia, with a song familiar to him.
Here is more now from Evan mckiel.
This week Evan will be singing "overjoyed" by Stevie wonder.
Though you never knew you I think everybody wants him to sing the whole song.
It was never done before.
We were all blown away.
This is different.
People couldn't vote for that song.
Whereas this is intentional.
It's a song that's very special to me.
The first time I heard it, I was watching tv with my parents.
Stevie performed it live when he hosted "snl.
" Pharrell understands the reason I want to do music.
I appreciate he supports who I want to be as an artist over me It's not a bad thing for people to see you feel.
The show is called "the voice.
" It's more so about the feel.
You just found your own way to connect with people.
Awesome.
Evan proved he is an all around singer.
He can sing every genre.
There are people super special.
Evan is one of them.
Here with "overjoyed" please welcome Evan mckeel over time I've been building my castle of love just for two though, you never knew you were my reason I've gone much too far for you now to say that I've got to throw my castle away though, you never knew it was because of you 've been dreaming the sandman has come from too far away for you to say come back some other day and though you don't believe that they do they do come true for did my dreams when I looked at you and maybe, if you would believe you, too, might be joets overjoyed overloved over me yeah what do they know for the chance baby with the chance you too might be overjoyed overloved over you over you scheers cheers Representing pharrell Williams, Evan mckeel.
3 f2 mc Let's start with Gwen.
Hi, Evan, wow, that song is so tough to do.
Your voice is so beautiful.
You sang it perfect.
I'm going to be really honest what I think.
Just once in a while in your performance like your body language and your stage presence, to me, sometimes it's a little almost too theatrical like to a point where it gets lost in watching some of the movements that look a little too thought out.
But the singing was crazy, crazy, but if you could just work on that honesty a littler mo, I think you are incredible.
Thank you so much, Gwen.
- Blake.
- Some of the notes, that was just the way he, you were able to navigate through that melody so perfectly.
It's unbelievable.
I agree with what Gwen is saying there, you know, but this is, this is a moment for you to prove what a great singer you are and I think you just did that, so great job, dude.
- Thank you, Blake.
- Back to your coach, - pharrell.
- Hey, man, I thought that was a great performance.
I think Blake is right.
There is a lot of great notes that you hit.
But also in terms of the body language for me, I read it as you being genuine.
I felt like, yeah, there are some moments that kind of felt awkward, but when you tell somebody you love them, it doesn't always work out.
You know what I mean.
So to me, I love that honesty.
Thank you.
You cleaned it up for me.
I felt like it was super genuine.
I think that's what makes the show so pure, you guys get to share that with people.
So great job.

There was no way after the battle of the amazing mark and the amazing that I That I could bring back anybody else.
I mean, she just, it was so hard to make that decision, Celeste.
I was hoping something would change in the season.
I honestly think she inspired such a big change and this is awesome We were in the rehearsal with yourcome back artist Celeste betton.
When I was asked to bring somebody back, I felt like a huge burden and weight was lifted off.
How did you feel when you got that call? I was so excited.

But I still had faith.
Well it's my soul as well it seems like everything that I went through set me up for this - point.

It can't get benefit e any better than that.
I am singing "something in the water" by Carrie Underwood.
The lyrics say I'm changed, I'm stronger.
There must be something in the water I couldn't be more - intentional.
- I don't want the shortage of breath to get in the way of that connection.
I think Celeste needs to be herself.
Her super power is the ability to communicate.
Everyone not want wanting you to go.
That's a food thing.
Those are the mysteries we can't foresee that makes sense later.
It works.
You see what I mean? It works With "something in the water" please welcome Celeste betton.

It will be a challenge for my - voice.
- It needs to have the pocket.
It's a shuf him.
It's a fast one.

I think girls my age start calling in, but their mothers.
What? You are a ladies man she's going to hang around Zach is only 17-years-old.
He's still figuring out who he is as an artist.
I think he's a heartthrob.
That itself the kind of artist he will be.
It will truly pay off for him in the long run.
That energy level way better.
I'm going to have to work extremely hard to prove to myself America and to Blake that I hopefully have a chance at winning this thing.
Singing "brands new girlfriend" here he is, Zach seabach she said I need some time? Itself to find myself I need a little space to think and maybe we should start seeing other people baby, things are moving way too fast for me so I picked up what was left of my pride and I put on my walking shoes and I got up from on that high road sntsz and I did what any gentleman would do I got a brand-new girlfriend we went and jumped off the deep end flew out to L.

Nice job, Zach.
You were gyrating your pelvis with your mother in the room.

But you did it.
You did it like, all of the stuff you were doing, one of the few that's ever been able to pull off all of the gyracings and the performance, for real, to, that is not something you want to pitch with unless you Zach, let's talk to your coach, Blake.

This may be one of my all time favorite song choices, the fact that she has a handle on what she wants to be as an artist, she's going to go far.
The breath, you got to get the biggest breath before you sing every line.
It's like you blended runs like Carrie Underwood the way you released your notes, some of the east Tennessee mountains sounds.
Emily is almost creating her own genre.
You've got an open Lane because there is nobody like you.
People love this.
I hope so.
