At the grammys the first year we were there.
Backstage, they were like, "hi, I'm Adam's dad" and it was like, who's Adam? Something about this place.

She is gaining so much confidence that I'm just really proud of her.

Your personality can be sassy, can be sarcastic and funny and dry and this song is that to me.

Positive mental attitude yeah having my dad here is very supportive and he only does annoying things in the morning when I'm still trying to sleep.
My dad is a police officer.
And he has been here with me every week.
That's big sacrifice to take so much time off of work.
I love him so much.

What did you just say to your coach? Do I get a jury raf now? I don't know what that means.
We will talk about a giraffe.
Let these guys Fawn over you for - a second.
- Dying to know what that is.
Blake Shelton what do you think about opening up the night tonight? One thing I no he for sure about shelby is she loves Alabama, like loves Alabama.
That was That was I think my favorite performance from you so far.
It was I mean Definitely something you can show your range and just take out, you know, some aggressiveness on that performance and felt it.
So, good job, sis.
Way to go.
Farpharrell Williams how are ya? Great.
I feel like blame, you came out here like a Cannon and you walked around on the stage and I felt like this was definitely one of your most comfortable performances, you know, aside from your voice just sort of raging like a I want to say a lion but I know you want a giraffe.
Like a raging giraffe.
Yeah.
So anyway, I think you should probably get your giraffe food supplies up.
I can't wait to hear about this giraffe.
Gwen Stefani, first you.
Just remind me that you're 17, right? Yeah.
That's crazy.
Anyways.
But I think that song for you felt like one of your songs.
I could see you doing a song like that for sure.
If I could give one bit of advice, what I would think, is the growl, that really amazing growl that you do, I would save that a little bit more, make that more special, I feel like you're doing it a lot.
But besides that you know what I feel about you.
You are like a 17-year-old, like I don't understand that.
Dynamo.
Craziness.
Well, Adam, you promised a giraffe.
I'm so proud of this girl, like seriously.
First of all, the giraffe, I will tell you, she made me promise if she did super good tonight, I would get her a giraffe.
Still not sure how I'm going to pull that off.
But you deserve a giraffe.
Thank you.
Because you killed it.
And I will tell you this Also, this is not you, y'all, worst clappers ever.

Although a tear may be oh so near he has loved that you are a musician, a singer and a producer.
He said that's just the perfect felt.
Pharrell has been coaching me about getting out of my shell and with this performance, I want to show the way I have a grown in music going back to the kind of music I have been making the last few years.

I like that just make the whole entire song glisten.
Could I not be more proud of him because Evan was destined to be here.
That can be just a peak.

It was just very, very good.
Thank you.
Slide over to Blake.
Hey, brother.
You're always it seems like you're such a pro.
That b-roll stuff was cool to hear about the production side of what you do and what you're into because it really comes through in your performances, now that I see that and know that, there's no wonder why you're so you seem like such a pro, like you have been doing this so long.
So all your performances are good.
That was really good.
I mean, you had a girl in an aquarium back there, man.
That is that is huge.
That's huge, dude.
Great job.
- Thank you, Blake.
- As usual, pharrell.
You know, the thing is I feel like you sounded great as you always do but I think the difference between today's performance and any other time that you performed on this show is today I feel like you let people in.
I think that was like a super intimate moment where you, like, allowed, you know, people thought in nbc land to connect with you and get to know you as a person.
And to me, I think that is the smartest way to use this show.
This is supposed to be about you introducing yourself and I think you really did that in this performance it is a great job.

This is a cool week, man.
Got your wife here.

So you're taking like an iconic country classic song, "delta dawn" by Tanya Tucker and totally rocking out this week.
Take you to a mansion in the sky then Dunn Dunn Dunn Dunn Dunn Dunn.
Alabam bam bam bam.
Never second guess your idea, because's country artist and he has soulful slant to what he does and I think the fact he found this classic and wants to make it his own proves he is the real deal.
Figure out a better plan for the top.
Mansion in the sky ba ba ba ba ba ba.
Can you start right there? Yeah.
Because I want to you get as much singing as you can.
Every time I'm around Blake, I get better.
It's like two creative people bouncing ideas back and forth until we land on something that's awesome.
And the goal is the awesome.
How did you two meet? Well, he was playing at a frat house and we would go watch him play and we just, you know, didn't never connect in college and then a couple years later, we were both single and at the same frat house, bumped into one another and it just kind of happened.
She was obsessed with you after that.
I had an emotional connection with him just through his music and then dating and marrying him and seeing this happen.
He has come a long watch something special.
She made my dream her own and I'm proud to maybe have the opportunity to fulfill that.
So good to have that support.
This is the dream right here.
With "delta dawn," please welcome Barrett baber.

Great to have you back, you look amazing.
You had so many different looks on the show.

For this season, what has been one of your favorite friends? Really loving the guys and how dapper they have been looking.
I really love all the suits they have been wearing.
Nice to see them looking so formal.

The performance that you gave was literally the best I've Eve.
Don't know why I didn't come so good! That was my favorite performance of the entire show forin bukowski, you are moving on.
I thought it was my last performance, I thought if I'm going out, better do it well.
Thank you.
God bless America there's a song that's inside my soul I haven't been on the top of my game the past two weeks.
I remembered this song and immediately, that excitement came back.
There's nobody else on the show that's evolved in the way that you have.
She's got a lot in there.
Okay, can I just get strict with you right now? Yes.
You were in the bottom two and you're here right now because people want to see more, so if you're holding anything back, you need to bring it now and be like, okay, you saved me, now I'm going to give you what you deserve.
I think at this point, let everybody in your heart.
Okay.
For her, just the girl clicked.
That was my jam.
I didn't lie when I said you were my idol.
One of korin's true gifts, when she since, she is really a good at making us believe it and now she needs to believe it herself.
Good thing you came today, straighten this girl out.

There's a song that's inside of my soul it's the one that I've tried to write over and over again I'm awake in the infinite cold but you sing to me over and over and over again so I lay my head back down and I lift my hands and pray to be only yours I pray to be only yours I know now you're my only hope I give you my destiny I'm giving you all of me I want your symphony singing in all that I am at the top of lungs I'm giving it back so I lay my head back down and I lift my hands and pray to be only yours I pray to be only yours I pray to be only yours I know now you're my only hope That is korin bukowski who you instantly saved just last week, representing team ga when in our top Gwen in our top 11.
Nice job.
Adam levine, let's start with you, buddy.
Um, korin, you know, I think that one of the hardest things to do as an artist, especially when you're younger, is finding an identity for yourself and what I'm so proud of you for and for Gwen as well is kind of the molding and the shaping of your identity as a singer and what you want to accomplish it is like when you look at yourself what you're doing in the beginning compared to now, it's like, you're really doing Making the music you want to do, doing it in your own way and that individuality and that kind of your own unique way of doing it to me is 99% of this and I'm - just really proud of you.
- Pharrell? So, I don't know, man, after our last talk last week, it's just like watching you and by the way, I'm only saying it because I noticed at that time you were nervous, but tonight, um, you weren't.
It's like you're you're definitely coming into your own but more importantly, you recognize the importance of just, like, being yourself and, like, knowing that this is your moment and regardless to what you're supposed to enjoy yourself.
Couldn't you guys feel that just now? I could really feel it.
I think I don't know, I just think you're on the right path now.
You definitely, you know, Gwen's doing an amazing job with you, but obviously, having your family there is great, too.
- So, it's awesome.
- Thank you, pharrell.
Coach Gwen? I'm just so happy for you.
Like I'm so happy you get this moment in your life to just shine.
Look at you, you're all sparkly and beautiful and confident and you have such a unique sound to your voice and that song meant so much to you and to be able to be here tonight and sing that and have that message go out to everybody right now through you, you know, that is powerful and I'm so happy for you and I'm so proud of you.

We have more with a pop hit and Amy vachal.
Hey, dad.
Join us.
This is my dad, Walter white.
I was going to say something.
I didn't want to make a joke here.
Good to have him here.
He taught me to play guitar.
I just couldn't be happier and more proud.
Amy has far exceeded anything that I had.
Should be very janglely and rhythmic.
Just like "hotline bling" Adam has a vision for this song.
If you want to tease it with a tambo or something.
That sounds awesome.
Taylor will like this version.
It is cool.
It complements the song.
Adam really understands who I want to be.
He is just a straight-up bad-ass coach.
And I'll write your name yeah! That is awesome! What do you think, dad, you approve? Definitely.
During rehearsal, something came up about the guitar.
I don't think you need to play the guitar.
No? Make sure you keep the energy the same and then as you build the song, get sassier in the songer.
It's gonna be forever or it's gonna go down in flames I'm actually more excited with the arrangement of the song is actually probably perfect.
So it's going to be fun.
That was bad ass, like a genuine collaboration.
That was fun.
Like the standup bass.
I'll play the jug.
I like this version.
Singing "blank space," here's Amy vachal.

That was I mean, that's too good.
Crowd standing up, watching Amy tonight, this Thanksgiving week.
Nice to see.
Dad there was for the whole session.
Let's get some comments, Blake Shelton, we will start with you.
I love these little these flips that you guys are doing, taking these songs.
I wish you would do it with I have a song called requests boys around here" that I want to hear her do the flip on, I think it would be so awesome.
Excellent idea.
It would be awesome for me.
You know what, that may be my favorite vocal from you so far because and here's why.
I don't want to just say that without telling you why, but to hear the lower the bottom register of your voice, I have never heard it so clear and so loud and with such presence.
Great singing, sis.
So good.
Thank you.
Pharrell, your former coach.
Amy, that was man, it seems like, you know, I don't know, we had this conversation and you're like these the way you're doing these song, the way you guys are flipping them, I don't know, it frames your voice so well but at the same time, I know the clock is running down, I just want to stress to everybody in America, like, you need to go on iTunes and go buy this song right now.
- Thank you, pharrell.
- Coming from another coach, high praise.
Go over to your coach, Adam.
Man, I'm so proud of you, Amy, because I think what you've done, to me, the way you've won this season is by, I think better than anybody else this season, is taking your own approach to songs, 'cause really, you know, we are kind of stuck doing cover songs, can't do your own material, within the parameters of that you have completely triumphed and created this album of different kinds of versions of these songs and that is, to me, that is the artistry that I love and that I'm looking for.
I'm as pleased as I could possibly be.
I'm so proud.

You guys look just alike.
It's freaking me out.
I'm the only boy in my family.
I have four sisters.
Yeah (And they look just like my mom.
Like having five moms.
Ha ha.
Trust me, we can't go anywhere without somebody saying, oh, we saw your brother.
So, what song are you seeing? "Are you gonna kiss me or not" by Thompson square.
Oh.
Are you gonna kiss me or not we were sittin' up there on your momma's roof talkin' 'bout everything under the moon this is a trick I learned listening to George strait, he would go we were sitting up there there would be those digs he does and just gives you more presence.
The thing that I'm looking for out of this performance with Zach is the alt attitude he neeo have to do this song.
We gonna do this or what a sweet, flirty message, out of frustration, she is still going, quilt being a wuss, come over here and kiss me.
I'm tired of waiting.
Watching Zach has been amazing, he has grown as an artist but also as a person.
The things he is doing, most people only dream b.
Talk to me about that dancing that he was doing.
I wasn't sure he should do that were you uncomfortable? I was uncomfortable.
Did you look away? No.
You are one of the few ever able to pull off all of the gyrations, ironically.
Seeing what happened I it is.
He is a threat to anybody else in this competition.
Still sit in the they will and like, you got to get up, work on your song.
Oh, boy.
Hey, you're her retirement.
I know.
With "are you gonna kiss me or not," here's Zach seabaugh.
We were sittin' up there on your momma's roof talkin' 'bout everything under the moon with the smell of honeysuckle and your perfume all I could think about was my next move oh but you were so shy so was I maybe that's why it was so hard to believe when you smiled and said to me are you gonna kiss me or not are we gonna do this or what I think you know I like you a lot but you're 'bout to miss your shot are you gonna kiss me or not it was the best dang kiss that I ever had except for that long one after that and I knew if I wanted this thing to last sooner or later I'd have to ask for your hand so I took a chance bought a wedding band and I got down on one knee you smiled and said to me are you gonna kiss me or not so we planned it all out for the middle of June from the wedding cake to the honeymoon and your momma cried when you walked down the aisle when the preacher man said say I do I did and you did too then I lifted that veil and saw your pretty smile and I said are you gonna kiss me or not are we gonna do this or what look at all the love that we got it ain't ever gonna stop are you gonna kiss me or not yeah baby I love you a lot I really think we've got a shot are you gonna kiss me or not Zach seabaugh, everybody! Going, trying to make it to the top ten.
Coach Blake on his feet.

Let's start with Gwen Stefani.

Blake, I feel like I feel like that's cheating, that was cheating to do that song, because you already have all the cute girls that want to vote for you and then you do a song like that.
That's cheating.
That's cheating, I think.
I'm okay with that.

We are live.
Our artists have been sharing this special week of giving thanks with their families.
It's been so great having them here.
Es eso? we did music.
And here we are.
This is the sound of my soul I wanted to pick a song that took him back to where we were when did he the Michael buble song.
I bought a ticket to world I want people to forget about the fact he is 15 years old and look at him like he is just an amazing singer.
You help me out with the melody? Yeah.
This is the sound of my soul like the way he does it reminds me a lot of your style, like sound of my soul he does all those, oh, you know? Learn it the closest you can to the original and then find little parts that will just bring your personality in, 'cause if you get it right, you're gonna get that vote from all those girls that are, like, oh, my God.
That will be fun.
Watching Gwen interact with br Braiden, I can see the maternal instinct to seeing him make him the best musically he can be but she connects emotionally.
All you can do is look really cool.
That was a horrible spin.
You're going to come out and just sing.
L the biggest challenge with this song is just familiarizing myself with it I want to have another big moment and I don't want to go home.
So, I need to really nail this one.
Singing "true," please welcome Braiden sunshine.
So true funny how it seems always in time but never in line for dreams head over heels when toe to toe this is the sound of my soul this is the sound I bought a ticket to the world but now I've come back again why do I find it hard to write the next line oh I want the truth to be said ha-ha-ha ha-ah I know this much is true ha-ha-ha ha-ah I know this much is true oh I bought a ticket to the world but now I've come back again why do I find it hard to write the next line oh I want the truth to be said ha-ha-ha ha-ah I know this much is true ha-ha-ha ha-ah I know this much is true I know this I know I know I know this much is true woah I know this I know I know I know this much is true Team Gwen's Braiden sunshine! Way to go Braiden, sounded great.
- Thank you.
- You got it, buddy.
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for the accompaniment on that all right, let's get to it.
Wow.
B Braidsen is excited, coach is excited, how about you, Blake? Just magic, just odd enough of a song choice with this guy and I tell you what, man, I don't the pairing of you two has been one of my favorite things to see on this show ever, because it's like the way you meet in the middle and I'm glad that you probably never heard that song before and I'm glad that you went along with her because, man, you took it and you made it your own.
It worked so well, so different, - man.
- Continue with that, pharrell yeah, congratulations.
I mean, listen, man, I know that you guys probably want to get away from the fact that you're 15 years old, but for me, when I when I hear a guy sound like you and, you know, like you're 15 years old singing this kind of song, embracing it the big note in the middle that you held, like, forever, I was looking at my watch thinking That big note was crazy.
And then the other thing I would like to point out to you, Braiden, like I really like the subtle, like, little small runs in there that you do, like it is just like so much control.
And again, it just takes me back to the fact that you're 15 years old.
It's crazy.
Gwen? I have to keep I have to keep doing this, like mom thing, oh, my God, like I'm just blown away by you.
I mean, your tone tonight, those notes, like I'm going to show them how good I am, watch this.
And it was so good.
And you were so cute.
And it was so perfect and I'm I'm shocked, like not because I don't know how good you are, but you did so much of your own stuff to that song that was so tasteful and so good, I'm so proud of you and I love you and I love you and I love you and I - love you and I love you.
- If you want Braiden in the top 10, you can vote on nbc.

Plus, big performances by Emily Welcome back to the top 11 live show on "the voice.
" Our performances continue with team Adam's inspiring pop singer from Kentucky who's tackling a pop song that really speaks to him.
Here's more from Jordan Smith.
Come on, mama.
Hi, guys.
I got to bring my mom.
She allowed me to discover my everything to her for that.
Been here two minutes and she is telling stories.
Came up with this imaginary band named singing lizards.
Yeah.
Mom.
Please.
I you're being a total mom right now.
Well, I got news for you.
I wrote an original song for my recital when I was likes 5 and it was called "the lizard and the bluebird," my mom will attest to this, only one that heard that terrible song.
So, I'm really pumped.
You have been on this amazing trajectory where you are like inspirational.
I saw the song and a pop song but a thread that tells your story.
I have had issues in life with self-image and being different and accepting myself.
The lyrics of this song say be true to who you are.
Ample lot going on musically, if we can scale it back a ton, I want the vocal to be driving.
I wouldn't mind stopping so you're doing no band on the first note.
No that's the heart of the song for me.
People want to tell you what to say and what to believe and what to think and you just have to say no.
This is who I'm gonna be.
I'm proud of that the song is going well.
I wouldn't change a thing.
So, don't let anyone get in your ear about anything.
Yeah, I will get in trouble if I don't.
Your son is extraordinarily gifted.
He hummed before he could talk.
That does not surprise me.
A true story.
With "who you are," please welcome Jordan Smith.
I stare at my reflection in the mirror why am I doing this to myself losing my mind on a tiny error oh, I nearly left the real me on the shelf no no no no no don't lose who you are in the blur of the stars tears don't mean you're losing everybody's bruising just be true to who you are the more I try the less it's working oh 'cause everything inside me screams no no no no no no no no no no don't lose who you are in the blur of the stars seeing is deceiving dreami is believing it's okay not to be okay sometimes it's hard to follow your heart but tears don't mean you're losing everybody's bruising just be true to who you are yes no egos fake shows like whoa just go and leave me alone real talk real life good love goodnight with a smile that's my home that's my home no no no no no no no no no no oh seeing is deceiving dreaming is believing it's okay not to be okay sometimes it's hard to follow your heart tears don't mean you're losing everybody's bruising just be true to who you are Jordan Smith sings to make it to the top ten tonight on "the voice," representing team Adam.
Nice going.
You all right? What do you need a tissue? You good? Yeah, just good to say it, it's okay to be who you are, it doesn't matter.
That's why you're here.
Great job, Jordan.
Great job.
Pharrell? Man.
Jordan, your attention to detail when you sing is remarkable to watch because it's so effortless when you sing, I mean, that's what all the yelping is for, because You sing those notes like that, the people can feel it and they can feel your intention, I feel like that's one of the most important things, man.
Yes, you are a great singer and yes, you sound great, but that that intention that you put forth, that you share with the people is huge and it's generous of you.
It's awesome.
Yeah.
Well said.
Thank you, pharrell.
Gwen? I'm it's hard to speak after that, you know? I mean, how good does that feel, to be as good as you are and go up there and use your gift like that and just shine? I mean, it's so fun to watch.
It's so incredible.
And how great is this life to have this moment right now? I mean, you must feel so incredible.
I'm so happy for you.
Thank you.
Adam.
I don't have enough time.
I will tell you the rest later.
But in this 15 seconds, let me try to convey to you, you know, this guy does have an insecurity and it's about his kind of performance ability, that's what we always talk about, I can sing, but, you know, I don't want to just stand there and sing.
You are one of the best performers that I know because Hold on.
Hold on! Stop.
I'm running out of time.
You are one of the best performers I know because you do the impossible, which is sing like you do but also do it with this conviction that keeps everyone completely in it and mesmerized and with you every second of the way.
That's all that matters when you're performing.
You are one of the best performers I know, man.
If you want Jordan in the top 10, you can vote on nbc.
Com, "the voice" Facebook page, the official voice app and by downloading Jordan's song on iTunes.
Give it up for Jordan Smith! Great job.
Great job.

How about a big hand for Paul mirkovich and "the voice" band! They are the best.
Now, it's team Blake's Tennessee country hopeful who's showing her bluegrass side tonight, Emily Ann Roberts.
Congratulations, y'all.
Feel really comfortable around Blake.
He is like an Uncle to everybody on his team.
Hey, who am I right now? Stop.
I'm never laughing around you ever again.
To me, family is just such an important thing.
To have my dad actually here.
How you doing, boss man? So much because he is the biggest influence in the kind of music that I love.
So, when did you realize what you were dealing with here, talent-wise? When she was 4 years old, get out in the old truck and I kept on playing Ricky scaggs and she would just rattle those songs off sitting in that car seat.
So it was just a hoot.
Well you finally come down to your old hometown it is so incredible knowing that I have the support of America to be here in the top 11 is crazy.
Ricky scaggs, I'm such a huge fan of his.
He follows me on social media and he has been, like, super cool and supportive.
You want to bluegrass this up? Yeah, we can.
No piano sounds.
Can you play a slow roll banjo sound? Yep.
If we do any drums, just some percussion stuff maybe.
If you want to start steering that way a little bit musically, I think it's time, you know? Baby don't you know this country girl's still free Blake Shelton produced this song and made it into the style that would fit the type of music that I want to make.
That high part of your voice, that is bluegrass.
Yeah.
I think it sounds sweet.
I'm excited.
It's unbelievable how much Emily has grown as an artist and musician working with Blake.
She is having so much fun.
I am, too, man.
You don't get one like her very often.
Singing "why not me," please welcome Emily Ann Roberts.
You've been lookin' for love all around the world baby don't you know this country girl's still free why not me well you've finally come down to your old hometown your Kentucky girl's been waiting patiently why not me on a rainy day why not me to love your cares away why not me why not me when the nights get cold why not me when you're growin' old why not me you've been searching from here to Singapore ain't it time that you notice the girl next door baby why not me you had to see if the world was round it's time that you learned how good settlin' down could be why not me why not me on a rainy day why not me to love your cares away why not me why not me when the nights get cold why not me when you're growin' old why not me you've been lookin' for love all around the world baby don't you know this country girl's still free yeah why not me why not me yeah oh why not me oh baby why not me Emily Ann Roberts.
Looking to stick around next week in the top ten.
Nice job, young lady.
Pharrell Williams, let's start with you.
Oh, man, you know what, when you sing those songs and I don't know that you know, I don't I don't know country music, you know, as well as you do obviously, but when you sing those songs, you make it abundantly clear that they are classic songs because you have, like, this super classic feel.
And I don't know, man, like, I don't know, your runs are clean.
And it's like, who are you? Where do you come from? Like how How do you sound like that? It's like how old are you again? I just turned 17.
You just turned 17? And you're singing like records that are, like, you know 27 years old, you know? That's amazing how classic your voice is.
Thank you.
Seriously.
Blake Shelton.
Tell you something and I'm not just talking about this show, you're going to be around for a long, long time.
Wow.
And, hey, and America, you can thank Emily Ann Roberts right now, she just did a bluegrass version of a judd song on freakin' national prime time television on "the voice.

A theme tonight.
When we come back, jeffery Austin closes out the night with a stripped-down performance of a all right.
Welcome back.
One more artist will perform and then all methods will be open for voting.
Ending the night, it's team Gwen's powerful pop sing here is putting his stamp on a dance anthem, Jeffrey Austin.
Team Gwen.
I woke up the next morning after my performance and saw my song at number nine on the iTunes charts.
I screamed.
I just have to say, like, the blind odd digs, how I was the only one that turned around and now you're, like, a star.
I've still got a one-chair mindset.
I'm always ready to keep, you know, proving myself.
When he was little, he would stand on the fireplace in his dad's t-shirts and he would sing song after song.
Wow.
Yeah.
Whether it's musically or when I first came out, she has always been so accepting which is what is so great about moms.
What do you think about the song? As a gay man, getting to see Robin on national television, dream come true.
Wow.
I'm right over here why can't you see me I wanted to take a dance pop song and show I could make it my own.
I believe that you're this person when you're singing that song, but every single time that you stop singing, you don't know what to do with your body.
Do you notice that a little bit, mo.
? You're such a natural singer, why can't your body be the same way? Vocally, his instincts are masterful.
I think he could easily go off and make a really emotional album.
I'm giving it my all I'm so proud of Jeffrey.
There's nothing better to see your kids happy, pursuing their dre dreams.
I just won.
You're so rad.
Thank you so much.
Singing dancing on my own, please welcome jeffery Austin.
Somebody said you got a new friend does he love you better than I can there's a big black sky over my town I know where you're at I bet he's around yeah I know it's stupid I just gotta see it for myself I'm in the corner watching you kiss him oh I'm right over here why can't you see me oh I'm giving it my all but I'm not the guy you're taking home I keep dancing on my own so far away but still so near the lights come on the music dies but you don't see me standing here I just came to say goodbye I'm in the corner watching you kiss him oh I'm right over here why can't you see me oh I'm giving it my all but I'm not the guy you're taking home I keep dancing on my own I'm giving it my all but I'm not the guy you're taking home I keep dancing on my own oh, I keep dancing on my own That is how the top 11 on this live performance show on "the voice" comes to a close.

Wow, Gwen, you all right? We will get to you in a minute.
Adam levine.
Hey, man.
Um, I always look forward to hearing you sing, jeffery, we hear a lot of people sing, so, when that's the case, it's always it excites us, you know, we start to get turned on to new talent and there's just something about your voice, you can't teach the unique quality that you have and that's the kind of quality that can be heard by millions and millions of people all over the world, country coach that, you have done an incredible job, but man, you know, at the end of the day it's all about what he does and it's really special, Jeffrey.
Thank you.

And then I was thinking you could be the first female coach to ever win "the voice" also.
A big deal that's happening, jeffery.

I love you, I'm blown away, I don't understand how talented you are.

That is the shelbie I wanted to see.
I asked if I could go on stage and she was qu.
At the grammys the first year we were there.
Backstage, they were like, "hi, I'm Adam's dad" and it was like, who's Adam? Something about this place.
Shelby is doing a pop song but has deep pop country roots.
She is gaining so much confidence that I'm just really proud of her.
Something about baby you and I the first you and I, got to be bigger.
Something about you baby you and I yeah.
Your personality can be sassy, can be sarcastic and funny and dry and this song is that to me.
Okay.
I want that song to feel like those boots.
#sassyboots.
Positive mental attitude yeah having my dad here is very supportive and he only does annoying things in the morning when I'm still trying to sleep.
My dad is a police officer.
And he has been here with me every week.
That's big sacrifice to take so much time off of work.
I love him so much.
Baby you and I going to light the stage on fire.
Going to do this song, convincing me that you feel t will you buy me a giraffe? I will buy you a giraffe.
You don't understand my obsession for giraffe.
I'm shaking your hand right now.
You get a giraffe.
With "you and I" kicking off the night, please welcome shelby brown.

Coaches pumped up.
What did you just say to your coach? Do I get a jury raf now? I don't know what that means.
We will talk about a giraffe.
Let these guys Fawn over you for - a second.
- Dying to know what that is.
Blake Shelton what do you think about opening up the night tonight? One thing I no he for sure about shelby is she loves Alabama, like loves Alabama.
That was That was I think my favorite performance from you so far.
It was I mean Definitely something you can show your range and just take out, you know, some aggressiveness on that performance and felt it.
So, good job, sis.
Way to go.
Farpharrell Williams how are ya? Great.
I feel like blame, you came out here like a Cannon and you walked around on the stage and I felt like this was definitely one of your most comfortable performances, you know, aside from your voice just sort of raging like a I want to say a lion but I know you want a giraffe.
Like a raging giraffe.
Yeah.
So anyway, I think you should probably get your giraffe food supplies up.
I can't wait to hear about this giraffe.
Gwen Stefani, first you.
Just remind me that you're 17, right? Yeah.
That's crazy.
Anyways.
But I think that song for you felt like one of your songs.
I could see you doing a song like that for sure.
If I could give one bit of advice, what I would think, is the growl, that really amazing growl that you do, I would save that a little bit more, make that more special, I feel like you're doing it a lot.
But besides that you know what I feel about you.
You are like a 17-year-old, like I don't understand that.
Dynamo.
Craziness.
Well, Adam, you promised a giraffe.
I'm so proud of this girl, like seriously.
First of all, the giraffe, I will tell you, she made me promise if she did super good tonight, I would get her a giraffe.
Still not sure how I'm going to pull that off.
But you deserve a giraffe.
Thank you.

When did you know he loves singing? 8 years old, during the church play.
Our director said he is sitting back there singing every part of every other person on stage.
To have both those people there who have nurtured my love for music so much it is really special.
Mom, you want to sit in my chair? Oh, my gosh.
Smile though your heart is aching just had one of those classic late '70s, early '80s voices, this is another side of him playing as a musician as well.
Although a tear may be oh so near he has loved that you are a musician, a singer and a producer.
He said that's just the perfect felt.
Pharrell has been coaching me about getting out of my shell and with this performance, I want to show the way I have a grown in music going back to the kind of music I have been making the last few years.
.
lng beautiful.
I like that just make the whole entire song glisten.
Could I not be more proud of him because Evan was destined to be here.
That can be just a peak.
It has to be the beginning of an ascension.
Just needs to continue to rise.
I think it's one of the most powerful lyrically written songs ever.
And just about hope and something I think our world needs hear now and I want that to be powerful.
With "smile," please welcome Evan mckeel.
Smile though your heart is aching smile even though it's breaking when there are clouds in the sky you'll get by if you smile through your pain and sorrow smile it may be tomorrow you'll see the sun come shining through for you light up your face with gladness hide every trace of sadness although a tear may be ever so near that's the time you must keep on trying smile what's the use of crying you'll find that life is still worthwhile if you just smile oh, smile though your heart is aching smile even though it's breaking when there are clouds in the sky you'll get by that's the time you must keep on trying smile what's the use of crying you'll find that life is still worthwhile if you just smile you'll find that life is still worthwhile if you just you'll find that life is still worthwhile if you just smile smile Felt like a timely song selection, given events.

Gwen? Evan, that was so beautiful.
That was definitely my favorite performance you have done on the show, for sure.
Just something about your voice on that, like just the tone and how calm you were and just letting your voice just shine.
It was just very, very good.
Thank you.
Slide over to Blake.
Hey, brother.
You're always it seems like you're such a pro.
That b-roll stuff was cool to hear about the production side of what you do and what you're into because it really comes through in your performances, now that I see that and know that, there's no wonder why you're so you seem like such a pro, like you have been doing this so long.
So all your performances are good.
That was really good.
I mean, you had a girl in an aquarium back there, man.
That is that is huge.
That's huge, dude.
Great job.
- Thank you, Blake.
- As usual, pharrell.
You know, the thing is I feel like you sounded great as you always do but I think the difference between today's performance and any other time that you performed on this show is today I feel like you let people in.
I think that was like a super intimate moment where you, like, allowed, you know, people thought in nbc land to connect with you and get to know you as a person.
And to me, I think that is the smartest way to use this show.
This is supposed to be about you introducing yourself and I think you really did that in this performance it is a great job.

Here's more from Barrett baber.
I think this is going to be the week where I establish I'm a person who writes and create and thinks outside the box.
This is a cool week, man.
Got your wife here.
It's awesome, man, I'm excited.
So you're taking like an iconic country classic song, "delta dawn" by Tanya Tucker and totally rocking out this week.
Take you to a mansion in the sky then Dunn Dunn Dunn Dunn Dunn Dunn.
Alabam bam bam bam.
Never second guess your idea, because's country artist and he has soulful slant to what he does and I think the fact he found this classic and wants to make it his own proves he is the real deal.
Figure out a better plan for the top.
Mansion in the sky ba ba ba ba ba ba.
Can you start right there? Yeah.
Because I want to you get as much singing as you can.
Every time I'm around Blake, I get better.
It's like two creative people bouncing ideas back and forth until we land on something that's awesome.
And the goal is the awesome.
How did you two meet? Well, he was playing at a frat house and we would go watch him play and we just, you know, didn't never connect in college and then a couple years later, we were both single and at the same frat house, bumped into one another and it just kind of happened.
She was obsessed with you after that.
I had an emotional connection with him just through his music and then dating and marrying him and seeing this happen.
He has come a long watch something special.
She made my dream her own and I'm proud to maybe have the opportunity to fulfill that.
So good to have that support.
This is the dream right here.
With "delta dawn," please welcome Barrett baber.
Delta dawn what's that flower you have on could it be a faded rose from days gone by and did I hear you say he was a-meetin' you here today to take you to his mansion in the sky she's 41 and her daddy still calls her baby all the people around brownsville say she's crazy 'cause she walks downtown with a suitcase in her hand looking for a mysterious dark-haired man in her younger days they called her delta dawn the prettiest woman you ever laid your eyes on then a man of low degree stood by her side and promised her he'd take her for his bride delta dawn what's that flower you have on could it be a faded rose from days gone by and did I hear you say he was a-meetin' you here today to take you to his mansion in the sky delta dawn what's that flower you have on could it be a faded rose from days gone by and did I hear you say he was a-meetin' you here today to take you to his mansion in the sky to take you to his mansion in the sky to take you to his mansion in the sky Grinning from ear to ear is Blake Shelton, the coach of Barrett baber, everybody.

And that's what's so good about what you do.
Yeah! Thanks, Gwen.

Thanks for having me.
Great to have you back, you look amazing.
You had so many different looks on the show.
What would you say your favorite look was on "the voice"? Probably have to be one from lives where I was wearing a floor-length white dress and it was lace and it was so pretty and feminine and I had baby's breath in my hair and I loved it.
For this season, what has been one of your favorite friends? Really loving the guys and how dapper they have been looking.
I really love all the suits they have been wearing.
Nice to see them looking so formal.
Thank you so much for being here and catching up with me.
To get pieces like sugar and I Welcome back to "the voice.

Continuing now with the team Gwen artist America instantly saved last week.
Here's more from korin bukowski.
How do you feel about this whole thing? Last night was the highest and lowest.
The performance that you gave was literally the best I've Eve.
Don't know why I didn't come so good! That was my favorite performance of the entire show forin bukowski, you are moving on.
I thought it was my last performance, I thought if I'm going out, better do it well.
Thank you.
God bless America there's a song that's inside my soul I haven't been on the top of my game the past two weeks.
I remembered this song and immediately, that excitement came back.
There's nobody else on the show that's evolved in the way that you have.
She's got a lot in there.
Okay, can I just get strict with you right now? Yes.
You were in the bottom two and you're here right now because people want to see more, so if you're holding anything back, you need to bring it now and be like, okay, you saved me, now I'm going to give you what you deserve.
I think at this point, let everybody in your heart.
Okay.
For her, just the girl clicked.
That was my jam.
I didn't lie when I said you were my idol.
One of korin's true gifts, when she since, she is really a good at making us believe it and now she needs to believe it herself.
Good thing you came today, straighten this girl out.
With "only hope," please welcome korin bukowski.
There's a song that's inside of my soul it's the one that I've tried to write over and over again I'm awake in the infinite cold but you sing to me over and over and over again so I lay my head back down and I lift my hands and pray to be only yours I pray to be only yours I know now you're my only hope I give you my destiny I'm giving you all of me I want your symphony singing in all that I am at the top of lungs I'm giving it back so I lay my head back down and I lift my hands and pray to be only yours I pray to be only yours I pray to be only yours I know now you're my only hope That is korin bukowski who you instantly saved just last week, representing team ga when in our top Gwen in our top 11.
Nice job.
Adam levine, let's start with you, buddy.
Um, korin, you know, I think that one of the hardest things to do as an artist, especially when you're younger, is finding an identity for yourself and what I'm so proud of you for and for Gwen as well is kind of the molding and the shaping of your identity as a singer and what you want to accomplish it is like when you look at yourself what you're doing in the beginning compared to now, it's like, you're really doing Making the music you want to do, doing it in your own way and that individuality and that kind of your own unique way of doing it to me is 99% of this and I'm - just really proud of you.
- Pharrell? So, I don't know, man, after our last talk last week, it's just like watching you and by the way, I'm only saying it because I noticed at that time you were nervous, but tonight, um, you weren't.
It's like you're you're definitely coming into your own but more importantly, you recognize the importance of just, like, being yourself and, like, knowing that this is your moment and regardless to what you're supposed to enjoy yourself.
Couldn't you guys feel that just now? I could really feel it.
I think I don't know, I just think you're on the right path now.
You definitely, you know, Gwen's doing an amazing job with you, but obviously, having your family there is great, too.
- So, it's awesome.
- Thank you, pharrell.
Coach Gwen? I'm just so happy for you.
Like I'm so happy you get this moment in your life to just shine.
Look at you, you're all sparkly and beautiful and confident and you have such a unique sound to your voice and that song meant so much to you and to be able to be here tonight and sing that and have that message go out to everybody right now through you, you know, that is powerful and I'm so happy for you and I'm so proud of you.

We have more with a pop hit and Amy vachal.
Hey, dad.
Join us.
This is my dad, Walter white.
I was going to say something.
I didn't want to make a joke here.
Good to have him here.
He taught me to play guitar.
I just couldn't be happier and more proud.
Amy has far exceeded anything that I had.
Should be very janglely and rhythmic.
Just like "hotline bling" Adam has a vision for this song.
If you want to tease it with a tambo or something.
That sounds awesome.
Taylor will like this version.
It is cool.
It complements the song.
Adam really understands who I want to be.
He is just a straight-up bad-ass coach.
And I'll write your name yeah! That is awesome! What do you think, dad, you approve? Definitely.
During rehearsal, something came up about the guitar.
I don't think you need to play the guitar.
No? Make sure you keep the energy the same and then as you build the song, get sassier in the songer.
It's gonna be forever or it's gonna go down in flames I'm actually more excited with the arrangement of the song is actually probably perfect.
So it's going to be fun.
That was bad ass, like a genuine collaboration.
That was fun.
Like the standup bass.
I'll play the jug.
I like this version.
Singing "blank space," here's Amy vachal.

That was I mean, that's too good.
Crowd standing up, watching Amy tonight, this Thanksgiving week.
Nice to see.
Dad there was for the whole session.
Let's get some comments, Blake Shelton, we will start with you.
I love these little these flips that you guys are doing, taking these songs.
I wish you would do it with I have a song called requests boys around here" that I want to hear her do the flip on, I think it would be so awesome.
Excellent idea.
It would be awesome for me.
You know what, that may be my favorite vocal from you so far because and here's why.
I don't want to just say that without telling you why, but to hear the lower the bottom register of your voice, I have never heard it so clear and so loud and with such presence.
Great singing, sis.
So good.
Thank you.
Pharrell, your former coach.
Amy, that was man, it seems like, you know, I don't know, we had this conversation and you're like these the way you're doing these song, the way you guys are flipping them, I don't know, it frames your voice so well but at the same time, I know the clock is running down, I just want to stress to everybody in America, like, you need to go on iTunes and go buy this song right now.
- Thank you, pharrell.
- Coming from another coach, high praise.
Go over to your coach, Adam.
Man, I'm so proud of you, Amy, because I think what you've done, to me, the way you've won this season is by, I think better than anybody else this season, is taking your own approach to songs, 'cause really, you know, we are kind of stuck doing cover songs, can't do your own material, within the parameters of that you have completely triumphed and created this album of different kinds of versions of these songs and that is, to me, that is the artistry that I love and that I'm looking for.
I'm as pleased as I could possibly be.
I'm so proud.
If you want Amy in the top 10, you can vote on nbc.

So, what song are you seeing? "Are you gonna kiss me or not" by Thompson square.
Oh.
Are you gonna kiss me or not we were sittin' up there on your momma's roof talkin' 'bout everything under the moon this is a trick I learned listening to George strait, he would go we were sitting up there there would be those digs he does and just gives you more presence.
The thing that I'm looking for out of this performance with Zach is the alt attitude he neeo have to do this song.
We gonna do this or what a sweet, flirty message, out of frustration, she is still going, quilt being a wuss, come over here and kiss me.
I'm tired of waiting.
Watching Zach has been amazing, he has grown as an artist but also as a person.
The things he is doing, most people only dream b.
Talk to me about that dancing that he was doing.
I wasn't sure he should do that were you uncomfortable? I was uncomfortable.
Did you look away? No.
You are one of the few ever able to pull off all of the gyrations, ironically.
Seeing what happened I it is.
He is a threat to anybody else in this competition.
Still sit in the they will and like, you got to get up, work on your song.
Oh, boy.
Hey, you're her retirement.

We were sittin' up there on your momma's roof talkin' 'bout everything under the moon with the smell of honeysuckle and your perfume all I could think about was my next move oh but you were so shy so was I maybe that's why it was so hard to believe when you smiled and said to me are you gonna kiss me or not are we gonna do this or what I think you know I like you a lot but you're 'bout to miss your shot are you gonna kiss me or not it was the best dang kiss that I ever had except for that long one after that and I knew if I wanted this thing to last sooner or later I'd have to ask for your hand so I took a chance bought a wedding band and I got down on one knee you smiled and said to me are you gonna kiss me or not so we planned it all out for the middle of June from the wedding cake to the honeymoon and your momma cried when you walked down the aisle when the preacher man said say I do I did and you did too then I lifted that veil and saw your pretty smile and I said are you gonna kiss me or not are we gonna do this or what look at all the love that we got it ain't ever gonna stop are you gonna kiss me or not yeah baby I love you a lot I really think we've got a shot are you gonna kiss me or not Zach seabaugh, everybody!

It's been so great having them here.
Es eso? we did music.
And here we are.
This is the sound of my soul I wanted to pick a song that took him back to where we were when did he the Michael buble song.
I bought a ticket to world I want people to forget about the fact he is 15 years old and look at him like he is just an amazing singer.
You help me out with the melody? Yeah.
This is the sound of my soul like the way he does it reminds me a lot of your style, like sound of my soul he does all those, oh, you know? Learn it the closest you can to the original and then find little parts that will just bring your personality in, 'cause if you get it right, you're gonna get that vote from all those girls that are, like, oh, my God.
That will be fun.
Watching Gwen interact with br Braiden, I can see the maternal instinct to seeing him make him the best musically he can be but she connects emotionally.
All you can do is look really cool.
That was a horrible spin.
You're going to come out and just sing.
L the biggest challenge with this song is just familiarizing myself with it I want to have another big moment and I don't want to go home.
So, I need to really nail this one.
Singing "true," please welcome Braiden sunshine.
So true funny how it seems always in time but never in line for dreams head over heels when toe to toe this is the sound of my soul this is the sound I bought a ticket to the world but now I've come back again why do I find it hard to write the next line oh I want the truth to be said ha-ha-ha ha-ah I know this much is true ha-ha-ha ha-ah I know this much is true oh I bought a ticket to the world but now I've come back again why do I find it hard to write the next line oh I want the truth to be said ha-ha-ha ha-ah I know this much is true ha-ha-ha ha-ah I know this much is true I know this I know I know I know this much is true woah I know this I know I know I know this much is true Team Gwen's Braiden sunshine! Way to go Braiden, sounded great.
- Thank you.
- You got it, buddy.
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for the accompaniment on that all right, let's get to it.
Wow.
B Braidsen is excited, coach is excited, how about you, Blake? Just magic, just odd enough of a song choice with this guy and I tell you what, man, I don't the pairing of you two has been one of my favorite things to see on this show ever, because it's like the way you meet in the middle and I'm glad that you probably never heard that song before and I'm glad that you went along with her because, man, you took it and you made it your own.
It worked so well, so different, - man.
- Continue with that, pharrell yeah, congratulations.
I mean, listen, man, I know that you guys probably want to get away from the fact that you're 15 years old, but for me, when I when I hear a guy sound like you and, you know, like you're 15 years old singing this kind of song, embracing it the big note in the middle that you held, like, forever, I was looking at my watch thinking That big note was crazy.
And then the other thing I would like to point out to you, Braiden, like I really like the subtle, like, little small runs in there that you do, like it is just like so much control.
And again, it just takes me back to the fact that you're 15 years old.
It's crazy.
Gwen? I have to keep I have to keep doing this, like mom thing, oh, my God, like I'm just blown away by you.
I mean, your tone tonight, those notes, like I'm going to show them how good I am, watch this.
And it was so good.
And you were so cute.
And it was so perfect and I'm I'm shocked, like not because I don't know how good you are, but you did so much of your own stuff to that song that was so tasteful and so good, I'm so proud of you and I love you and I love you and I love you and I - love you and I love you.

When we come back get ready Jordan Smith sings jessie j.
Plus, big performances by Emily Welcome back to the top 11 live show on "the voice.
" Our performances continue with team Adam's inspiring pop singer from Kentucky who's tackling a pop song that really speaks to him.
Here's more from Jordan Smith.
Come on, mama.
Hi, guys.
I got to bring my mom.
She allowed me to discover my everything to her for that.
Been here two minutes and she is telling stories.
Came up with this imaginary band named singing lizards.
Yeah.
Mom.
Please.
I you're being a total mom right now.
Well, I got news for you.
I wrote an original song for my recital when I was likes 5 and it was called "the lizard and the bluebird," my mom will attest to this, only one that heard that terrible song.
So, I'm really pumped.
You have been on this amazing trajectory where you are like inspirational.
I saw the song and a pop song but a thread that tells your story.
I have had issues in life with self-image and being different and accepting myself.
The lyrics of this song say be true to who you are.
Ample lot going on musically, if we can scale it back a ton, I want the vocal to be driving.
I wouldn't mind stopping so you're doing no band on the first note.
No that's the heart of the song for me.
People want to tell you what to say and what to believe and what to think and you just have to say no.
This is who I'm gonna be.
I'm proud of that the song is going well.
I wouldn't change a thing.
So, don't let anyone get in your ear about anything.
Yeah, I will get in trouble if I don't.
Your son is extraordinarily gifted.
He hummed before he could talk.
That does not surprise me.
A true story.
With "who you are," please welcome Jordan Smith.
I stare at my reflection in the mirror why am I doing this to myself losing my mind on a tiny error oh, I nearly left the real me on the shelf no no no no no don't lose who you are in the blur of the stars tears don't mean you're losing everybody's bruising just be true to who you are the more I try the less it's working oh 'cause everything inside me screams no no no no no no no no no no don't lose who you are in the blur of the stars seeing is deceiving dreami is believing it's okay not to be okay sometimes it's hard to follow your heart but tears don't mean you're losing everybody's bruising just be true to who you are yes no egos fake shows like whoa just go and leave me alone real talk real life good love goodnight with a smile that's my home that's my home no no no no no no no no no no oh seeing is deceiving dreaming is believing it's okay not to be okay sometimes it's hard to follow your heart tears don't mean you're losing everybody's bruising just be true to who you are Jordan Smith sings to make it to the top ten tonight on "the voice," representing team Adam.
Nice going.
You all right? What do you need a tissue? You good? Yeah, just good to say it, it's okay to be who you are, it doesn't matter.
That's why you're here.
Great job, Jordan.
Great job.
Pharrell? Man.
Jordan, your attention to detail when you sing is remarkable to watch because it's so effortless when you sing, I mean, that's what all the yelping is for, because You sing those notes like that, the people can feel it and they can feel your intention, I feel like that's one of the most important things, man.
Yes, you are a great singer and yes, you sound great, but that that intention that you put forth, that you share with the people is huge and it's generous of you.
It's awesome.
Yeah.
Well said.
Thank you, pharrell.
Gwen? I'm it's hard to speak after that, you know? I mean, how good does that feel, to be as good as you are and go up there and use your gift like that and just shine? I mean, it's so fun to watch.
It's so incredible.
And how great is this life to have this moment right now? I mean, you must feel so incredible.
I'm so happy for you.
Thank you.
Adam.
I don't have enough time.
I will tell you the rest later.
But in this 15 seconds, let me try to convey to you, you know, this guy does have an insecurity and it's about his kind of performance ability, that's what we always talk about, I can sing, but, you know, I don't want to just stand there and sing.
You are one of the best performers that I know because Hold on.
Hold on! Stop.
I'm running out of time.
You are one of the best performers I know because you do the impossible, which is sing like you do but also do it with this conviction that keeps everyone completely in it and mesmerized and with you every second of the way.
That's all that matters when you're performing.
You are one of the best performers I know, man.
If you want Jordan in the top 10, you can vote on nbc.
Com, "the voice" Facebook page, the official voice app and by downloading Jordan's song on iTunes.
Give it up for Jordan Smith! Great job.
Great job.
Coming up, Emily Ann Roberts takes "the voice" stage, and jeffery Austin closes out the Welcome back to the top 11 live show.
How about a big hand for Paul mirkovich and "the voice" band! They are the best.
Now, it's team Blake's Tennessee country hopeful who's showing her bluegrass side tonight, Emily Ann Roberts.
Congratulations, y'all.
Feel really comfortable around Blake.
He is like an Uncle to everybody on his team.
Hey, who am I right now? Stop.
I'm never laughing around you ever again.
To me, family is just such an important thing.
To have my dad actually here.
How you doing, boss man? So much because he is the biggest influence in the kind of music that I love.
So, when did you realize what you were dealing with here, talent-wise? When she was 4 years old, get out in the old truck and I kept on playing Ricky scaggs and she would just rattle those songs off sitting in that car seat.
So it was just a hoot.
Well you finally come down to your old hometown it is so incredible knowing that I have the support of America to be here in the top 11 is crazy.
Ricky scaggs, I'm such a huge fan of his.
He follows me on social media and he has been, like, super cool and supportive.
You want to bluegrass this up? Yeah, we can.
No piano sounds.
Can you play a slow roll banjo sound? Yep.
If we do any drums, just some percussion stuff maybe.
If you want to start steering that way a little bit musically, I think it's time, you know? Baby don't you know this country girl's still free Blake Shelton produced this song and made it into the style that would fit the type of music that I want to make.
That high part of your voice, that is bluegrass.
Yeah.
I think it sounds sweet.
I'm excited.
It's unbelievable how much Emily has grown as an artist and musician working with Blake.
She is having so much fun.
I am, too, man.
You don't get one like her very often.
Singing "why not me," please welcome Emily Ann Roberts.
You've been lookin' for love all around the world baby don't you know this country girl's still free why not me well you've finally come down to your old hometown your Kentucky girl's been waiting patiently why not me on a rainy day why not me to love your cares away why not me why not me when the nights get cold why not me when you're growin' old why not me you've been searching from here to Singapore ain't it time that you notice the girl next door baby why not me you had to see if the world was round it's time that you learned how good settlin' down could be why not me why not me on a rainy day why not me to love your cares away why not me why not me when the nights get cold why not me when you're growin' old why not me you've been lookin' for love all around the world baby don't you know this country girl's still free yeah why not me why not me yeah oh why not me oh baby why not me Emily Ann Roberts.
Looking to stick around next week in the top ten.
Nice job, young lady.
Pharrell Williams, let's start with you.
Oh, man, you know what, when you sing those songs and I don't know that you know, I don't I don't know country music, you know, as well as you do obviously, but when you sing those songs, you make it abundantly clear that they are classic songs because you have, like, this super classic feel.
And I don't know, man, like, I don't know, your runs are clean.
And it's like, who are you? Where do you come from? Like how How do you sound like that? It's like how old are you again? I just turned 17.
You just turned 17? And you're singing like records that are, like, you know 27 years old, you know? That's amazing how classic your voice is.
Thank you.
Seriously.
Blake Shelton.
Tell you something and I'm not just talking about this show, you're going to be around for a long, long time.
Wow.

A theme tonight.
When we come back, jeffery Austin closes out the night with a stripped-down performance of a all right.
Welcome back.
One more artist will perform and then all methods will be open for voting.
Ending the night, it's team Gwen's powerful pop sing here is putting his stamp on a dance anthem, Jeffrey Austin.
Team Gwen.
I woke up the next morning after my performance and saw my song at number nine on the iTunes charts.
I screamed.
I just have to say, like, the blind odd digs, how I was the only one that turned around and now you're, like, a star.
I've still got a one-chair mindset.
I'm always ready to keep, you know, proving myself.
When he was little, he would stand on the fireplace in his dad's t-shirts and he would sing song after song.
Wow.
Yeah.
Whether it's musically or when I first came out, she has always been so accepting which is what is so great about moms.
What do you think about the song? As a gay man, getting to see Robin on national television, dream come true.
Wow.
I'm right over here why can't you see me I wanted to take a dance pop song and show I could make it my own.
I believe that you're this person when you're singing that song, but every single time that you stop singing, you don't know what to do with your body.
Do you notice that a little bit, mo.
? You're such a natural singer, why can't your body be the same way? Vocally, his instincts are masterful.
I think he could easily go off and make a really emotional album.
I'm giving it my all I'm so proud of Jeffrey.
There's nothing better to see your kids happy, pursuing their dre dreams.
I just won.
You're so rad.
Thank you so much.
Singing dancing on my own, please welcome jeffery Austin.
Somebody said you got a new friend does he love you better than I can there's a big black sky over my town I know where you're at I bet he's around yeah I know it's stupid I just gotta see it for myself I'm in the corner watching you kiss him oh I'm right over here why can't you see me oh I'm giving it my all but I'm not the guy you're taking home I keep dancing on my own so far away but still so near the lights come on the music dies but you don't see me standing here I just came to say goodbye I'm in the corner watching you kiss him oh I'm right over here why can't you see me oh I'm giving it my all but I'm not the guy you're taking home I keep dancing on my own I'm giving it my all but I'm not the guy you're taking home I keep dancing on my own oh, I keep dancing on my own That is how the top 11 on this live performance show on "the voice" comes to a close.

Hey, man.
Um, I always look forward to hearing you sing, jeffery, we hear a lot of people sing, so, when that's the case, it's always it excites us, you know, we start to get turned on to new talent and there's just something about your voice, you can't teach the unique quality that you have and that's the kind of quality that can be heard by millions and millions of people all over the world, country coach that, you have done an incredible job, but man, you know, at the end of the day it's all about what he does and it's really special, Jeffrey.

A big deal that's happening, jeffery.
