The Voice US (2011) s09e22 Episode Script

Live Top 10 Performances

Welcome to the top 10 live show! I'm Carson daly.
Good evening, America! Say hello to our coaches Adam levine, Gwen Stefani, pharrell Williams and Blake Shelton.
Tonight, your top 10 will do everything they can with performances that are bigger than ever to win your votes and hopefully to advance to next week's semifinals.
Plus, our own Gwen Stefani will sing her powerful new hit single on this stage called "used to love you.
" We are looking forward to that.
Let's get right to it with a deeply emotional song choice by team Gwen's passionate pop singer.
Here's more to kick off the show now from Jeffrey Austin.
I'm jealous of the rain that falls upon your skin hi.
You're a good singer.
Thank you.
I don't think a lot of people know this song.
No.
It's so beautiful, so emotional.
And a perfect platform to show case your incredible singing.
I think it shows me a little bit more vulnerable, especially with the instrumentation.
That's so important right now.
I want you to be super open.
Yeah.
It's very strange that only months ago I was at a desk doing public relations and now here I am.
People I have never met before or talked to are coming to the show, screaming your name and they're so excited to meet you.
It makes me excited to do the next thing.
I think it's one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard.
Really good.
I'm excited about it.
Style-wise, I'd love you in a suit.
This is, like, formal.
More than we have done.
Like all the way.
Black tie, white shirt.
It continues to elevate it all.
You have come so far.
Being believable, let your body be relaxed.
What would happen if you lost control? You need to ask yourself that.
Yeah.
The lyrics are specific.
Watching someone from a past relationship move on and find someone new in their lives.
There is a balance you have to find of being completely open emotionally and still maintaining the music side.
Closer than your shadow it's so cool to have the people rally for you.
In my hometown, St.
Charles, Illinois, they make cakes with my face on it.
Cashiers wear t-shirts for me.
I'm excited to take it to the next level.
With "jealous," please welcome jeffery Austin.
I'm jealous of the rain that falls upon your skin it's closer than my hands have been I'm jealous of the rain I'm jealous of the wind that ripple through your clothes it's closer than your shadow oh, I'm jealous of the wind 'cause I wished you the best of all this world could give and I told you when you left me there's nothing to forgive but I always thought you'd come back tell me all you found was heartbreak and misery it's hard for me to say I'm jealous of the way you're happy without me I'm jealous of the nights that I don't spend with you I'm wondering who you lay next to oh, I'm jealous of the nights I'm jealous of the love gone for someone else to share oh, I'm jealous of the love I wished you the best of all this world could give and I told you when you left me there's nothing to forgive but I always thought you'd come back tell me all you found was heartbreak and misery it's hard for me to say I'm jealous of the way you're happy without me it's hard for me to say I'm jealous of the way you're happy without me Your top 10 live show is officially under way.
Jeffrey Austin.
That's a good way to start the show.
Let's get comments from the coaches.
You can hear the audience's approval.
Adam levine? That was, once again, a moment where we were transported from the competition and just taken directly to what you're doing.
It's beautiful, Jeffrey.
It's so God.
What you do is so unique and your own that "the voice" or off "the voice" or in the future, you have a really bright future.
That's all you should be concerned with now is doing your thing and getting better.
Every show you continue to impress all of us.
Congratulations, man.
Thank you.
Blake.
What an amazing song, first of all.
Man, that's a great when the right artist meets the right song on this stage for "the voice," I got lost in that.
I probably haven't been more wrapped up in a performance this entire season than I have that performance for some reason, man.
Great job tonight, Jeffrey.
- Thank you.
- Pharrell.
Congratulations.
Thanks.
Yeah.
I hadn't heard the song before.
For me, I felt like it was the first time hearing those lyrics and, like, feeling your honesty and the comfort you have right now is just a major achievement.
A lot of people sing songs.
You don't know who they are.
For the first time I feel like people got a chance to know who Jeffrey is, so congratulations.
- Thank you.
- Let's go to your coach, Gwen.
You're awesome.
It's crazy.
I was like Adam.
I forgot for a minute.
I didn't want it to end.
I was transported to this place, this space.
It was so beautiful.
We struggled with trying to find a song.
I feel like that was just per effect.
It was so perfect to use.
That could be easily the record you make.
I'm so honored to be part of this with you.
It's so cool to watch you.
Thank you so much.
If you want jeffery in the semi-finals, you can vote on nbc.
Com, "the voice" Facebook page, the official app and by downloading jeffery's song on iTunes.
We are under way.
Give it up for Jeffrey Austin.
When we come back, we are just getting warmed up.
Emily Ann robe We're back live from universal studios Hollywood with your top 10.
We'll continue with team Blake's 17-year-old classic country singer who's taking on a legend, Emily Ann Roberts.
I see that guitar.
That's pretty cool.
I know.
Did some awesome, nice guy gave give you that? Yeah.
Blake gave me, Barrett and Zach new guitars.
His support is incredible.
Country music fans are excited about you.
You're so pure.
You're what we need.
I got to talk to winona judd last night.
What? She never called me.
It was incredible el to do one of your songs.
What I liked about your performance was that you were doing something so grassroots.
Don't let anyone tell you who you are.
That's the advice I got from Tammy wynette and I'm passing it on to you.
Thank you so much.
I've got the records that we used to share I was really little when I first heard patsy cline.
I was blown away by her voice.
It's awesome to do one of her songs.
Could we maybe make it more broken down? Like the strings? Like the lights fade in and they're there? Seriously? Cool, yeah.
Keep the electric guitar out of here.
This is bluegrass, boy.
Emily Ann has already had a number one song in country on iTunes.
The fact that she's 17 but already has a grip on her artistry, I can't tell you how far that puts her ahead in country music.
Do you think you could sign it since you gave it to me? I guess.
I would love to make it to the top 9 and Blake Blake Shelton proud and make my family proud of me.
That would be incredible.
There it is.
- It's real now.
- Singing "she's got you," please welcome Emily Ann Roberts.
I've got your picture that you gave to me and it's signed "with love," like it used to be the only thing different the only thing new I've got your picture she's got you I've got the records that we used to share and they still sound the same as when you were here the only thing different the only thing new I've got the records she's got you I've got your memory or has it got me? I really don't know, but I know it won't let me I've got your class ring that proved you cared and it still looks the same as when you gave it, dear the only thing different the only thing new I've got these little things she's got you I've got your memory or has it got me? I really don't know but I know it won't let me be I've got your class ring that proved you cared and it still looks the same as when you gave it, dear the only thing different the only thing new I've got these little things she's got you the only thing different the only thing new I've got these little things she's got you It is going down tonight.
Look at coach Blake on his feet.
Emily Ann Roberts.
Give it up for her.
We are off to a rip-roaring start tonight.
- Sit down, coach! - The room is electrified.
Your family's excited.
Great performance.
Boy, pharrell, the top 10 tonight trying to stick around.
You're really seeing the performances step up.
What do you think? Man.
Step up? Listen, I don't want to sound generic, but honestly that was fantastic.
It really was.
Thank you.
It's like you're 17, right? It's unbelievable that you're, like, 17 years old and you sing with such an old soul.
Lik likewise, talented and focused beyond your years.
That could have been somebody from 20, 30 years ago.
The fact that it's in a 17-year-old girl is impressive.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Thank you, pharrell.
Adam levine? That was amazing.
I think that what's really cool to see is, like, you were a good singer when you started the show.
Now you're a phenomenal singer.
That, to me, just seeing that amount of growth in a short period of time like pharrell was saying, it's amazing.
Once again, like, I don't like to give Blake any compliments at all, but unfortunately I'm forced to do that.
At least it's for a good reason because you're amazing.
You did a wonderful job.
I'm sure he's got a lot of hee ing, hawing, cowboy noises to make.
I will pass the reigns over to cowboy Dan.
Let's get to the heeing and hawing.
Coach Blake? Yep.
I can't stop smiling right now.
My heart is pounding.
That was so good.
Let me say a couple of things here.
I want people at home to know.
I have never had a better collaborator in nine seasons of doing the show than working with Emily Ann.
Because to be 17, she is so smart and knows who she is as an artist.
That was you have had incredible performances.
That was your best performance so far this season.
- Thank you.
- If you want Emily Ann in the semi-finals, you can vote on nbc.

There is something about Braiden.
My favorite thing is he's such a throwback, somehow to the '80s.
It's amazing to me.
That's my favorite thing about you.
I can't explain it.
That's one of the reasons you're one of my favorites.
Thank you, Blake.
Over to your coach.
Ms.
Gwen Stefani.
For me for me, Braiden, you are so punk rock tonight cutting your hair like that.
I want to remind everyone, he's 15 years old.
15! I feel like your hair cut, you look 16.
You look one year older now that you cut your hair.
It's crazy.
Now I don't look 12.

Which makes her a dangerous competitor.
Now she's going for it.
Let's talk about the song you love so much.
I do.
I wanted to do a song I could be emotionally connect ed with.
My grandfather was a huge Vince gill fan.
We played this at his memorial service.
I want to hear it from you.
Let's hear it.
The song is about loss.
The message is that I miss my grandfather.
Try to take your time.
I can hear you thinking about the melody.
Stay pure with it.
Put shelby's spin on it.
Okay.

I know your life on earth was troubled and only you could know the pain you weren't afraid to face the devil you were no stranger to the rain so go rest high on that Mountain son, your work on earth is done go to heaven a shoutin' love for the father and the son oh, how we cried the day you left us we gathered 'round your grave to grieve wish I could see the angels faces when they hear your sweet voice sing so go rest high on that Mountain son, your work on earth is done go to heaven a shoutin' love for the father and the son go rest high on that Mountain son, your work on earth is done go to heaven a shoutin' love for the father and the son That is shelby brown representing team Adam.
Great job, shelby.
You all right? Is that emotion al? Yeah.
Well, you told us about the sent mental value of the song.
So I know you're thinking about it now.
Let's talk to pharrell.
What do you think of that? Man, I don't know if it was talked about the value of the song and what it meant to you, but something tells me it was literally just the way you performed it.
I think this was honestly your best performance.
I feel like.
Thank you.
It's like you connected to the intention of the person who wrote that song like for whatever.
I know this meant something to you in terms of your grandfather.
But I feel like what you sang in here tonight and the way you connected to the lyrics, I feel like everybody in here could feel this was easily your best moment on this show.
- Thank you.
- Let's continue that thought with your coach, Adam.
You know, shelby, since the day we met you have always been a singer whose potential would astound me.
As your coach I have been trying to get you out of your own way for the past few months.
If I was successful in doing that I would be able we'd be able to get to pretty much unbelievable, rare ability and talent that you have to sing.
We chip away at it all the time.
Every single week you get better and better and better.
As your coach and I'm everybody will attest, we are all so proud of you.

Here's more from korin bukowski.
Korin bukowski! Instantly saved by America's votes.
Last week I was bottom two again.

It's just so crazy.
I cannot believe you have nine lives.
I do have nine lives.
Take away your things and go P.
M.
yes, take back what you said I know the experience flipped my world upside down.
A year ago I was doing biology homework, studying to be a doctor.
This was always a dream.
Now top 10.
It's all becoming more real.
This is not an emotion al song as much as it's more of a sassy song.
I have to see that side of you.
I have always wanted to be that kind of person.
I think this week I'm going to try something a little different.
It's more my style.
It's the road I have always wanted to go.
It's not something I have shown on the show yet.
I'm excited to try it out.
Your personality has to come out because you're korin.
That's who you are.
I want a little more drama in your performance.
I'm so sick of the same old love that stuff just tears me up I have the perfect coach to help me to show I don't give a hoot.
She's pushing me out of my comfort zone.
How are you supposed to grow without being uncomfortable once in a while? Bottom two, I don't want it to happen again.
If you could show another side to you it will be a big deal.
I know you have it in you.

- Right.
Rock star stuff is tiring.
Pharrell, what do you think? First of all, got to shout to the band Paul and the guys.
That production was amazing and it framed your voice and your moment tonight so well.
Honestly, just watching your confidence throughout the season has just been just continuing to climb.
I feel like today was just like today was your moment.
I don't know what's happening this season right now.
Everybody is getting progressively better and it's all coming out tonight.
It's amazing.
- That was great.
- Gwen, korin has been on the bottom.
She needed a strong performance on a Monday night.
Was this it? You're making me crazy right now.

That was crazy.
I didn't expect that.

Only 9 will move on next week to the semi-finals.
Make sure to save your favorites tonight.
Let's continue with the Brooklyn singer/songwriter who's making a bold move with a song by her childhood idols.
Here's more from team Adam's Amy vachal.
The last two weeks working with Adam have been incredible.
He's taking little twists and turns down the musical genres.
I'm excited to work with Adam today.
He's just chock full of ideas.
What's up number 4 iTunes, top charting of my team.
How are you? You're the week's winner.
Crazy.
We are winning based on our choices which is cool.
It had to be the right song.
I think this will be bluesy and cool, a different take on the song.
I'm doing this tonight you're probably going to start a fight growing up, my brother used to steal my nsync albums from me.
I'm singing "bye, bye, bye".
You're kidding.
You're going to crush it.
I thought I would be the sixth member of 'n sync.
The silly dance moves.
Bye, bye hold on.
We're getting too big.
I like it creepy.
I want to try it double time.
Don't wanna be a fool for you just another player in a game for two it's catchy and light-hearted but the lyrics are so emotion al.
The mix of confident and vulnerability.
There's something inspiring about that.
I love the energy of the don't want to be a fool for you.
Stay with the rhythm but different floating notes.
Yeah.
It's cool to crack the code of how to deal with a stylized singer.
When you find the right thing it clicks immediately.
Yeah! That's what I'm talking about.
She makes me wonder if she can't win all this thing.
We have another smash.
I'm excited.
I am, too.
- So good! - I have introduced this song a million times but not like this.
Singing "bye, bye, bye" please welcome Amy vachal.
I'm doin' this tonight you're probably gonna start a fight I know this can't be right hey baby come on I loved you endlessly when you weren't there for me so now it's time to leave and make it alone I know that I can't take no more it ain't no lie I wanna see you out that door baby bye bye bye don't wanna be a fool for you just another player in your game for two you may hate me but it ain't no lie baby bye bye bye don't really wanna make it tough I just wanna tell you that I had enough it might sound crazy but it ain't no lie baby bye bye bye Just hit me with the truth now girl you're more than welcome to so give me one good reason baby come on I live for you and me and now I really come to see that life would be much better once you're gone I know that I can't take no more it ain't no lie I wanna see you out that door baby bye bye bye don't wanna be a fool for you just another player in your game for two you may hate me but it ain't no lie but it ain't no lie bye bye bye don't really wanna make it tough I just wanna tell you that I had enough it might sound crazy but it ain't no lie but it ain't no lie bye bye bye Nuz I don't wanna be your fool in this game for two so I'm leavin' you behind I don't wanna make it tough but I had enough and it ain't no lie baby don't wanna be a fool for you it ain't no lie bye, bye, bye I don't want to be your fool but it ain't no lie you may hate me but it ain't no lie bye, bye, bye That's Amy vachal.
And her coach, Adam levine.
Great job, Amy.
Great one.
Your brother Jake over there.
He approves.
Walter white.
The whole crew there for the vachal family enjoying that.
Gwen Stefani what do you think? I was fantasizing about the tour after this.
Take a bunch of top songs, flip them.
Everybody wants to see that.
Just do a theater tour and maybe one or two of your own covers, whatever.
Make up some songs.
Who wouldn't go to that? You're set up.
You can go on tour.
It's perfect.
Adam? I want to talk to you.
This is cool.
What we figured out together is the ability to maximize the creative capacity you can have on the show with songs that are not your own.
For anyone that's writing songs, singing songs.
I think that with you, Amy, we have been able to really maximize that and show people that there are a million different ways a great song can be a great song and you're so good at it.
The way you sing them, approach them and the arrangements.
They are also just a really good kind of display of artistry.
That should be commended and re warded and you guys should vote for this girl.
Thank you.
Let's hear it for Amy vachal! Thank you, Amy.
Straight ahead, get the tissues ready, Jordan Smith tackles the iconic song "hallelujah.
" Plus, coach Gwen Stefani sings her new hit "used to love you.
" And unforgettable performances by Zach seabaugh and madi Davis.
And Barrett baber.
Welcome back.
Don't forget, if your favorite artist's song is in the top 10 of the iTunes singles chart at the close of voting, their iTunes downloads will be multiplied by 10.
And that could help them win it all.
Continuing now with team Adam's pop singer who's taking on one of the most inspirational songs of all time at a crucial point in the competition.
Here's more from Jordan Smith.
That's awesome.
I just got a shout out from my college choir.
It's great to know they're everyone has been so supportive.
It's been so overwhelming.
This is a big week for me.
Top 10 is a huge deal.
It will require a lot of hard work, focus and making sure I'm doing the songs justice.
Hope you're ready, Adam.
You have broken the top 10 iTunes every week.
No pressure, right? Have I led you wrong yet, pal? You have not.
You're one of the best singers in the world and I'm excited.
This is one of my favorite songs.
Hallelujah in your moment s of joy you're like, hallelujah.
But in moment s of sadness it ace's like, I have to hold on to that great thing.
Unbelievable.
To me, this is the best way to bridge yourself to the end.
I want you to have the right Alaska.
arc.
I have to feel the connection with everyone.
What if we had a violin or a solo cello? There's a choral feeling to it.
Haunting.
The song needs to start small, grow and get big.
That's the key for this one.
I think Jordan can do anything.
He can cause people to feel and emote with him.
He's spectacular.
Hallelujah I think that it's the perfect choice for this moment.
Okay.
I'm telling you this is it.
With "hallelujah," please welcome Jordan Smith.
I've heard there was a secret chord that David played and it pleased the lord but you don't really care for music, do you? It goes like this the fourth, the fifth the minor fall the major lift the baffled king composing hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah your faith was strong but you needed proof you saw her bathing on the roof her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you she tied you to a kitchen chair she broke your throne and she cut your hair and from your lips she drew hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah well baby I've been here before I've seen this room and I've walked this floor I used to live alone before I knew you I've seen your flag on the marble arch love is not a victory march it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah tonight.
However, it is the top 10.
That's Jordan Smith from team Adam.
Well, it all seems a familiar environment in this room when this young man sings.
Let's get comments from the coaches.
Let's start with you, Blake.
Hi, Jordan.
Man, it gets kind of boring talking to Jordan after his performances because we say the same stuff.
It's incredible.
It's over the top.
That's no different, man.
Every time you get on stage.
There was a guy, Matthew schuler who did that song a few seasons ago, man.
I thought nobody could ever top that version.
I think you just did, man.
- Great job, buddy.
- Pharrell? Thank you so much.
I agree with Blake.
It's not much you can do to compliment what you have just done and have it match what you have done.
I mean, the only word that comes to mind for me is effortless.
It's very effortless the way that you skate through the scales.
When you sing like that it's incredibly like touching.
Congratulations.
Thank you, pharrell.
Jordan, your coach is Adam.
Adam, what do you think? I had a taping of this, a version of this that I was watching in preparation for today.
Every time I watched it or showed somebody how amazing it was, I would get literally chills.
What you do, to me, is just so from the moment I met you, I said it's important what you do.
You lift people.
You lift me.
Every time I hear you sing it's an experience.
That doesn't happen.
You are truly above and beyond what I could ever ask for on this show and beyond, man.
You really astonish me every single day.
If you want Jordan in the semi-finals, you can vote on nbc.

This thing called love s coaches, we're just now starting to really dial in on who these artists are and what they're good at.
Everybody's waiting for Zach to have a breakout moment like he did during the top 12.
It's time to show people this is what this guy is good at.
You've done this song before? I sang it with my quartet.
Were you singing a different part than lead? Baritone.
I think you're re vertical reverting back.
It has an eelvis vibe to it.
I have been thinking of making it modern so I can put it on an album.
What if it started with a Brad paisley lick and on top.
We definitely went to work in re rehearsal.
We were going to create something special.
I have been getting so much support at home.
My football teammates have been texting, checking up on me.
Go, Zach! Win this thing! It means a lot to be working so hard.
I learned never to tell you what to do performance-wise.
Give me a dau fu days and the stage.
It will be fun.
We he need s to pull out the stops.
They're giving me room to dance.
I can't wait.
I hope it's a show stopper.
It will be.

Great job.
I can't talk.
They're screaming all over me.
- Great job.
- Your coach, Blake Shelton.
Zach, we hear applause here all the time.
I don't know that we have heard the likes of the screaming.
And girls in here before.
What's the matter with you people? I'm going out on a limb here.
Way out on a limb here.
Not with this statement.
This statement is easy.
Best performance ever.

Welcome back.
Keep it going.
How about a big hand for Paul The brand new Selena Gomez and everything in between.
Thank you very much.
Our performances continue with team pharrell's last remaining singer.
It's the 16-year-old indie artist, madi Davis.
Todayhearsal with pharrell.
We? Just me.
Just me now.
That's exciting.
I want to carry the torch.
There is a special history to this song, right? Yeah.
This is one of the first covers I ever did.
I come home this is one of my all time favorite songs.
I recorded my own version when I was 13 years old.
From early on I got a guitar, started song-writing.
Getting to share my artistry with pharrell.
I would be lucky if this is what life is like.
I feel the long lended itself to be a sad song.
It's about people keeping girls down a little bit.
I love it.
You're singing for girl power.
To be your age with a customized arrangement, I feel like vocally the power notes will be important.
With all you did last week, people will want that from you.
I'm two performances away from the finale.
This is a make or break moment.
Musically, I think it should stay stripped down until the third verse.
There was something magical about strings, piano and her voice.
Madi is the only one like herself in the competition.
If she didn't make it through my team is done for the season.
This is not about me.
This is a 16-year-old girl living out her dream.
Do what you do.
Sing for the girls.
Yes, for the girls.
Girls.
Singing "girls just want to have fun," here's madi Davis.
I come home in the morning light my mother says when you gonna live your life right oh mother dear we're not the fortunate ones and girls they want to have fun oh girls just want to have fun the phone rings in the middle of the night my father yells what you gonna do with your life oh daddy dear you know you're still number one but girls they want to have fun oh girls just want to have that's all they really want some fun when the working day is done girls they want to have fun oh girls just want to have fun some boys take a beautiful girl and hide her away from the rest of the world I want to be the one to walk in the sun oh girls they want to have fun oh girls just want to have that's all they really want some fun when the working day is done girls they want to have fun oh girls just want to have Fun That's coach pharrell's last remaining artist, trying to move on.
Madi Davis, everybody.
Thank you, ladies, for the accompaniment.
Beautiful job there.
Beautiful job.
Blake's on his feet as well.
- Wow! - Adam levine.
Let's start with you, sir.
Oh, I thought you said Gwen.
Car I'm not crying.
I'm always crying, but not right now.
I'm sorry.
I thought it was Gwen's turn.
Madi, it's amazing just to see how far everybody's come.
It's amazing to see this far in the competition.
Everybody is blossoming now.
It's just entertaining and fun.
That was a really weird, cool, awesome version of the song.
Really beautiful.
Well done.
Gwen.
I know that you know what I think about you.
Like that I'm a fan of you.
I would be so curious to see what songs you would write.
I feel like you're so full of instinct and music and you're only 17.
It blows my mind.
To think of what you could do in the future.
16! In the middle maybe.
Whatever.
That's crazy.
You're amazing, talented and I like you.
- I want to get your record.
- Coach pharrell.
Everybody say it with wme.
16! That was sick.
I'm about to buy it, download it.
I would love for everybody at home to go on iTunes and buy this record right now.
That was amazing.
Seriously.
You picked a song.
You arranged it.
You had a sax player.
Where is your brain to be 16 years old to be coming up with these things? It's amazing.
Everyone, please vote for her - tonight.
- If you want madi in the semi-finals, you can vote on nbc.

All right.
When we come back, Barrett baber closes out the night with his soulful spin on a Conway twitty Welcome back.
Then all methods will be open for voting.
Closing out the night, it's team Blake's country soul singer with a special tribute to his home state of Arkansas.
Here's more from Barrett baber.
Really amazing to be in the top 10.
I'm humbled more than anything.
What are you doing? What are you doing here? I missed you.
Before the show last week I got a surprise visitor.
It was a kid I taught in high school.
This man is the greatest human being I have ever met in my entire life.
He changed who I am.
I was really happy he was there to share that moment with me.
This week, I get to show America what I do which is sit and play my guitar and sing from the heart.
People may not believe it because I look like I feel comfortable out there without a guitar, working the stage.
But for a decade this is it.
I sit on a stool in a room by myself with a bunch of drunk frat guys.
Same way I started.
Do you think it's risky? For me personally what you're doing this week is my favorite thing so far.
This song is special because it's by Conway twitty who is from Arkansas.
It's a special tribute to the state where I live and I'm proud of that.
I kind of want to hear you do something big.
Something held out.
Lay you lay you down when you start collaborating creatively with someone like Blake Shelton that's when the magic happens.
Whoa, darling I'd love to lay you down I'm excited to sing this song and to have my wife there to hear me sing it.
She's the best thing that's ever happened to me.
This is me pointing to the top 10 on iTunes.
This is going to be it.
Singing "I'd just love to lay you down," please welcome Barrett baber.
There's a lot of ways of saying what I want to say to you there are songs and poems and promises and dreams that might come true but I won't talk of starry skies or moonlight on the ground I'll come right out and tell you I'd just love to lay you down lay you down and softly whisper pretty love words in your ear lay you down and tell you all the things a woman loves to hear I'll let you know how much it means just having you around oh darlin', how I'd love to lay you down there's so many ways your sweet love made this house into a home you've got a way of doing little things that turn me on like standing in the kitchen in your faded cotton gown o, darling how I'd love to lay you down lay you down and softly whisper pretty love words in your ear lay you down and tell you all the things a woman loves to hear I'll let you know how much it means just having you around oh darlin', how I'd love to lay you down when a whole lot of decembers are showin' in your face your auburn hair has faded and silver takes its place you'll be beautiful and I'll still be around and if I can I know that I'd still love to lay you down lay you down and softly whisper pretty love words in your ear lay you down and tell you all the things a woman loves to hear I'll let you know how much it means just having you around oh darlin', how I'd love to lay you down oh darlin', how I'd love to lay you down oh darlin', how I'd love to lay you down That will conclude your top 10 singing tonight for your vote to move on to the semifinals.
