From team Blake, Barrett baber The door to the finale like you just kicked it in.
I can definitely see Barrett becoming a huge superstar in country music and it won't surprise me if he wins "the voice.

And Emily Ann Roberts.
Emily's already had three number one songs on the country iTunes charts.
This girl could win this - freaking thing.
- And from team Adam, Jordan Smith.
God has signed your voice.
Jordan is I think the best singer the show has ever seen and he is going to win "the voice.
" Tonight, the final four go head to head for the very last time.
Welcome to the finale.
Final four.
Man, what a ride.
Very excited you got another number one.
This is swinging for the fence.
- Yeah.
- With the entire season at stake, it all comes down to America's votes.
Everything you did that night has to happen again.
Go for the knockout blow.
And I like when you embellish.
If you can find somewhere to have a big note at the end, this - is the time to do that.
- Only one will win it all, a recording contract with Republic records and be named "the voice.
" That gave me chills.
Oh, my God, that's so good.
That song gives you a shot at this thing.
That's crazy.

You are a class act, man.
Excited for you.

pharrell Williams.
He is Blake Shelton.
Ladies and gentlemen, keep it going for the rest of the top 24 artists.
They are in the audience tonight.
Well this is t we have arrived at the most important night of the season, your four finalists are going to sing three times tonight.
A new song that they picked and a holiday song, plus going to perform a duet with their coach.
It is going to be an unbelievable night of music.
Every single vote obviously is crucial.
We will kick things off with a pop singer from Kentucky who continues to impress with every performance.
I had a chance to sit down with Jordan Smith and his coach, Adam levine, to talk about what this "voice" experience has meant to him.
Take a look.
Before the voice, I was working two jobs to pay my way through college and stepping on that stage was such an overwhelming feeling for me.
All four chairs turned.
What did it feel like to get that validation? Just incredible.
I have worked so long and hard and I had to deal with being different and prove it is past looking on the outside.
I remember when I saw you perform, I thought to myself, this dude is just a special guy.
The world needs a person like you.
I think you are the most important person ever been on this show once you go live, your playoff song is Beyonce.
How you're going to up to America.
You go on a gave-week run, which we have never had on the show, top ten on the iTunes charts, two of which was number one.
I didn't think about it, I just knew these were songs I connected with in my heart.
That queen performance that note you hit, you dug deep.
I think the best performance in the history of the show.
There has been a lot of talk about you being a front-runner but still one more big night of music.
There comment be a more suited finale song for you than this one.
Climb every Mountain the kind of person that Jordan is and the way that he sings lends itself to this message.
About kind of chasing your dreams down but also doing it in a very inspirational way.
There's just a lot of heart in it and Jordan is all heart, so it's perfect.
Follow every rainbow has to be big and powerful every time.
Okay.
We are still fighting.
Always this pressure to live up to what you did the week before.
You never want to, like, peak, which is funny, because they are talking about climbing every Mountain.
I see what you did there.
I see what you did.
Follow every rainbow if I'm not the winner of the voice, I still know that I found myself.
Gonna know that I worked for this.
Now is the time when I can stand up and show the world this is who I am and you can be who you are, too.
What people love about you is something beyond your your talent, it is just your ability to be inspired and that inspires people.
This experience has absolutely changed my life.
Man, I'm just so proud of you.
Thank you.
All right.
Here we go.
With "climb every Mountain," here is Jordan Smith.
Climb every Mountain search high and low follow every byway every path you know ooooo climb every Mountain Ford every steam follow every rainbow 'til you find your dream a dream that will need all the love you can give every day of your life for as long as you live climb every Mountain Ford every stream follow every rainbow 'til you find your dream 'til you find your dream oooo climb every Mountain Ford every stream follow every rainbow 'til you find your dream climb every Mountain ohhh follow every rainbow 'til you find your dream oh woah never give up 'til you find your dream on the performance finale.

I thank you, ladies and gentlemen.
Mom and dad in the house.
Jordan kicks off the big night.
Mom, dad, nice job.
You're getting used to this, aren't you? Let's talk to our coaches, if that's humanly possible.
Wow.
I'm not so sure why Adam looks mad, but we will find out in a second.
Blake, we will start with you.
Ichblts a he sure I know why he is mad, the same reason we are all frustrated, when you come to us after Jordan performs, there's nothing left to say anymore.
It's like you're always just so consistent, but consistently great.
Just great.
Not good.
Not okay.
Not got through the song.
Like great, every time you get on the stage, dude.
It's boring to hear me talk about it.
I know it is.
Pharrell? I think I think everyone in this room owes it to this incredible form of humility right here to stand up just like everybody everybody at home, stand up.
Stand up.
Because that is exactly I can guarantee you, anybody with eyes, ears and a heart and a mind, they are standing up back home in America right now, 'cause that is that what you just did just now is, like, incredibly moving and, dude, there's only one word, fantastic.
Gwen? I think anyone that knows me knows that Julie Andrews and "the s the sound of music is my favorite ever, ever, to sit here and hear you sing that, I had to hold back everything, the flood was if it wasn't for the makeup, I would be like it would be done.
But thank you so much.
And I think you have something, like a message for everyone out there.
There's a message it is a beautiful message.
And thank you so much.
Well said, thank you, Gwen.
Coach Adam.

You have much time to say the things, to organize my thoughts here but I'm just gonna tell you what's amazing about this guy is not my belief in Jordan is fine, but Jordan's belief in himself and the humble nature with which he projects that into the world is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.
And he he deserves to win the show, that would be great and everything, but he is so unbelievably grateful for all that he has and is just out there doing what he loves and what he is passionate about and that, to me, deserves If you want Jordan to be the winner of The Voice, you can vote on nbc.

It's special.
And I really look forward to seeing what you do with your career 'cause you definitely have one.
Thank you, pharrell.
Let's go to Adam.
You know, a lot of times on the show, we kind of like defer to Blake, 'cause he is the country guy and Okay.
Calm down.
I think when someone is so incredible as far as country music is concerned, we can tell what the real deal is and if I'm not mistaken, Mr.
Shelton, I'm sure you will not argue, you are the real deal.
Thank you.
Mr.
Shelton? You are by the way, that was a beautiful performance.
I tell you the thing that That I have picked up on and the entire country music fan base out there that watches this shock the reason that you're here in the finale, is you possess this vocal power, this range.
You have all of these things, all these chops that you're the master of, but the best thing about your performance is you ramp it up, you start you start off simple and as the song goes along, as the song builds, that's when you start throwing in all the power and stuff and it makes for these incredible performances that you can't look away from.
So unbelievably ahead of your time, sis.
Thank you.
So great.

She is Emily Ann Roberts.
Straight ahead, two rhinestone cowboys, Barrett and Blake, tear up the stage with a Glen Campbell classic.
Welcome back to our live finale performance show.
Blake said that no one puts their heart and soul into a performance quite like bar e together with his coach's vision and bar it's determination this partnership proved to be an unstoppable match.
Tonight, they chose the perfect song to sing together.
Where hustle's the name of the game and nice guys get washed away like the snow and the rain the more I do this shock the more I realize how much people love a little bit of a throwback to some old-school country.
You picked this song "rhinestone cowboy" dude.
Pretty awesome.
I thought, yes.
That's why I love Barrett.
Where the lights are shining on me like a rhinestone cowboy exciting to give a tribute to a guy like Glen Campbell, man, a pioneer, just from Arkansas, man, just like it's a perfect song.
Not to mention it is a shoutout to trying to make it in the music industry.
Totally.
The letter sic perform.
You're down when you're riding your train, taking the long way, that's what my life has been so far to get here.
Took the scenic route.
Feels good, you no? He a lot of good things about that I got my wife and my kids out of that's specially.
I think the studio is where you really learn to become a better singer.
I do believe that.
That's when you hear some of the stuff you don't want to hear from yourself when you're in those headphones and there's nothing to hide behind, this teaches you to be a better singer.
Come listen.
Sounds amazing.
The subway token and a dollar tucked inside my shoe thing people don't realize about this show is now when you leave, you're going to be trying to get back to the level of what this show gives artists, you know? Mm-hmm.
The staging, with the coverage and being on television and stuff, you know what I mean? It just gives you the opportunity to now achieve that again at some point on your own.
I think you will do that.
I do think that, Barrett.
And now is the fun part.
I'm excited about it.
I can't wait to attack it.
Like a rhinestone cowboy now let's go sing it on the big stage.
Let's do it.
Singing "rhinestone cowboy" here is Barrett baber and his coach, Blake Shelton.
I've been walkin' these streets so long singin' the same old song I know every crack in these dirty sidewalks of Broadway where hustle's the name of the game and nice guys get washed away like the snow and the rain there's been a load of compromisin' on the road to my horizon but I'm gonna be where the lights are shinin' on me like a rhinestone cowboy riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo like a rhinestone cowboy getting cards and letters from people I don't even know and offers comin' over the phone well, I really don't mind the rain and a smile can hide all the pain but you're down when you're ridin' the train that's takin the long way and I dream of the things I'll do with a subway token and a dollar tucked inside my shoe there'll be a load of compromisin' on the road to my horizon but I'm gonna be where the lights are shinin' on me like a rhinestone cowboy riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo gettin' cards and letters from people I don't even know and offers comin' over the phone like a rhinestone cowboy riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo and offers comin' over the phone like a rhinestone cowboy Barrett baber and his coach, Blake Shelton, everybody.
All right.
After the break, Jeffery sings "o holy night" and later, Jordan and Adam sing for a duet you are all right, we are back live in Los Angeles with our finale to remember this is more important tonight than ever.
If your favorite artist song is in the top ten on the itune singles charts at the close of voting, their votes will be multiplied by ten and that could help them win this thing.
Now, Gwen's passionate pop singer is here with his holy pick.
Here is Jeffery Austin with "o holy night.
" Oh holy night the stars are brightly shining it is the night of our dear savior's birth long lay the world in sin and error pining 'til he appeared and the soul felt its worth the thrill of hope the weary world rejoices for yonder breaks a new and glorious morn fall on your knees oh hear the angels' voices oh night divine oh night when Christ was born oh night divine oh night oh night divine chains he shall break for the slave is our brother and in his name all oppression shall cease sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we let all within us praise his holy name Christ is the lord their name forever praise we oh night divine oh night when Christ was born oh night divine oh night oh night divine oh night divine that is Jeffery Austin who represents team Gwen here in the finale.
Mom and brother up there watching.
Nice job.
Thank you so much.
Adam, I'm going to start with you.
Man.
Jeffery, you're you know, your voice is like and there's a sweet spot of your voice that just, like, shakes the rafters, like, shakes the whole room.
And such a powerful song, obviously, all know that song.
But man, like, and also because you're so unique, a unique take on that song, I really enjoyed it, man.
Congratulations.
Pharrell? Hey, how do you feel, man? Great.
That's one of my grandparents' favorite Christmas songs, so I was happy to have that congrats, man, because you have had quite the journey this whole entire season, just watching you grow and a all the work that you and Gwen have done together.
I feel like you guys have done a really good job.
It shows.
You got to come here and sing, like, your favorite Christmas song.
So congrats, man.
Let's go to your coach, Gwen? I'm obviously going to be real emotional tonight.

Coming up, Jordan and Adam joins forces for a song Adam happens to thi welcome back.
It is the most important night of the season, our live finale performance show.
We continue now a very unique partnership.
With Adam by his side, Jordan soared to new heights as an artist.
Tonight, he and his coach blend their voices for a very special duet.
I'm so proud of you.
Been just a really fun, collaborative effort.
It has just been fun to, like, settle into the groove of just performing every week and picking new things to do that's all you should be focused on.
It can get easy to get caught up in all this, but you kept a level head, which I always think is the cornerstone for anyone that has success on the show.
Now, get to this beach boys classic, "God only knows" best song ever written, heart-crushing, most inspiring melody I've ever heard.
I may not always love but long as there are stars above you beach boys do it, like the little bit of rub.
It's like groovy and sounds cool and it is not, like, perfect.
Let's leave it loosey-goosey and organic and I think like faithful to the original.
If you should ever leave me I love the unison.
Sounds pretty together.
Let's take this show on the road, man.
Call it Adam and Jordan.
Whoa.
Mind blown.
We sound like the friggin' beach boys.
You have done a lot of recording here, too, right? Recording the song "maps" here.
I wrote the song here.
The song I did with Gwen I recorded here.
Probably half the records I have ever been on.
I know this studio well.
It has been really fun to work together throughout the season but I think this is a cool chance, too, just to be able to say I have done this with you as my coach.
And I get to sing a duet with Jordan Smith, future winner of "the voice.
" Whatever.
Cool.
Sweet.
There it is.
Crazy, that's it.
It's done.
Good.
With "God only knows," please welcome Jordan Smith and his coach, Adam levine.
I may not always love you but long as there are stars above you you never need to doubt it I'll make you so sure about it God only knows what I'd be without you if you should ever leave me though life would still go on, believe me the world could show nothing to me so what good would living do me God only knows what I'd be without you ooooo ahhhhh do ba do ba do ba do ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba b ahh ahhh God only knows what I'd be without you if you should ever leave me well life would still go on believe me the world could show nothing to me so what good would living do me God only knows what I'd be without you God only knows what I'd be without you God only knows what I'd be without you God only knows what I'd be without you God only knows what I'd be without you God only knows what I'd be without you God only knows what I'd be without you God only knows what I'd be without you God only knows what I'd be without you and the coaches are up.
Give it up for Jordan Smith and his coach, Adam levine.
Nice work, fellas.
Coming up, two incredible back-to-back performances.
Barrett sings for your votes with a current country hit and em welcome back to The Voice finale.
We are live with back-to-back performances.
First, he is a team Blake's country soul singer.
Aid chance to sit down with Barrett baber and his coach to reflect on his journey to this point in the competition.
Have a look.
Yep.
Finale week.
Here we go.
Final four.
Man.
Proud of you, buddy.
Thanks a lot.
Whew.
This has been such a long ride, man.
I'm one step away from winning "the voice.
" It's almost amazing to even say that, because it wasn't that long ago that I was Miles away.
The blind auditions, what did you think was going to happen when you came out on our stage? As soon as I saw the chairs turn, it was the most weight off my shoulders.
I feel like I'm watching garth Brooks in concert now.
We get into live playoff, do you Lee Brice.
I drive your truck you said it was the first time you really saw his work ethic.
Barrett's really good at being conscious of what the audience is feeling out there.
Lay you down and till you all the things see this relationship with Blake Shelton, what would you want them to know about your coach? The cool part is he allows me to come into this space and throw idea at him for how to make a song mine.
I'm pointed tock the top ten in iTunes right now.
Before I came to The Voice, I was teach act a high school and all of a sudden, I'm the student instead of the teacher and that's really awesome.
What are you singing in the finale? It is a new country song but has a real throwback vibe to it.
If all I've got is your hand in mine this is the perfect song because it has got that soulful edge that Barrett brings to country music.
Sounds so good.
We have seen your kids and your wife and it feels like you're singing for them every time you're an at stage.
This moment, you know, is about sacrifices that my wife has made and she is the one chase the kids around and so, this dream of mine, it's ours, together.
Hey, buddy.
Hey, Brooke.
What does that shirt say? Team baber.
I have gotten all this success, new fans.
Didn't have that when I came in.
All I had was my wife and my kids.
That's what I love about this song.
It talks about what is most important to me.
If you can find somewhere to have a big note at the end, this is the time to do that.
Yeah.
Your hand in my hand yes.
You got to do that.
All the hard work he has put into it, it is paying off right now.
I'm so happy for him.
Awesome and so grateful for t music is what you were meant to do I have no doubt about that, man.
With "die a happy man," please welcome back Barrett baber.
Oooo baby, last night was hands down one of the best nights that I've had no doubt between the bottle of wine and that look in your eyes and the Marvin gaye and we danced in the dark under September stars in the pourin' rain and I know that I can't ever say it enough that all I need in this life is your crazy love if I never get to see the northern lights or if I never get to see the eiffel tower at night oh, if all I've got is your hand in my hand baby, I would die a happy man oh yes I would ooohhhh baby, that red dress makes it hard to breathe but that black dress brings me to my knees you're a Saint you're a goddess the cutest, the hottest the masterpiece you're too good to be true nothing better than you in my wildest dreams and I know that I can't ever tell you enough all I need in this life is your crazy love I don't need no vacation no fancy destination you're my great escape we can stay at home or listen to the radio or dance around the fireplace ooo if I never get to build my mansion in Georgia or drive a sports car up the coast of California woah, if all I got is your hand in my hand baby, I would die a happy man baby, I would die a happy man baby, I would die a happy man oooo baby, I would die a happy man kwrd there's Barrett baber, one of team Blake's two finalists here in the finale performance show.
The voice.
Sarah and the kids, his wife.
Not sure if she heard that I love you.
Sarah? I love you.
Some to see.
Get some comments.
Gwen, you're crying tonight.
Maybe more emotional.
I'm just like I had I felt like I was on another planet through that whole thing, just thinking about your whole journey and when you first came out here and you're just your vibe, like your energy is so strong.
And I feel like tonight, for me, like it all came together because I feel like you just were so calm in that performance, in just letting it come out and telling a story, it was really, really good.
And they are so cute.
Thank you.
Adam.
You know, I'm just I'm so I feel so lucky because I have been able to see my favorite people make it to the end, like my four favorite people are in the finals and it's rarely the case.
You never know.
And I'm just a fan of yours.
I always have been from the beginning.
Yeah.
I always enjoy what you do, from day one.
Thanks, dude.
All right.
Let's hear what your coach has to say.
Blake? Let me tell you something, I mean, aside stop talking about your technical abilities and things when it comes to your singing, there's a reason you need to the finale, because that's part of it.
But I think the thing that Gwen is talking about is the same thing that I just noticed and that's I don't know that I've ever worked with anybody who puts more heart into their performances than you, Barrett.
I mean, every single time you get on that stage, man, you just lay your heart out there for everybody to see.
And I admire you for that, dude.
Great job.
Thanks, man.

Tonight, a duet that perfectly fits this partnership.
You did "9 to 5" and such a huge moment on the show why not do another Dolly song as our duet? So going to do "islands in the stream.
" I love this.
I listened to this, like, my whole life.
Yeah.

Okay.
Baby when I met you there was peace unknown I set out to get you with a fine tooth comb I was soft inside we got something going on Dolly is awesome.
And it's so light and simple, too, it is not like overpowering.
Just got to go in there and be Emily Ann, God knows I'm no Kenny Rogers.
One thing people love about you is that you don't sound like anybody else.
Everything is nothing if you got no one and you're walking the night slowly losing sight of the real thing we should sing and dance.
You can teach me your move.
What is it? Oh, this one? Yeah.
Something like that? The way I come in here and like record a song, someone like you, I picture it being really fancy.
I have been singing my next album all week at my house, literally in my closet with my shirts and jeans and stuff hanging around, we built a vocal booth.
You never want to borrow my closet to do your album, just let me know.
Oh, that's sweet.
Come in and take a listen.
Yay.
Come on, buddy.
You crushed it.
Sail away with me to another world and we rely on each other, uh-huh perfect! Awesome! I'm so excited.

Jeffery returns for a passionate come on down to the sky box here, welcome back, our live finale happening tonight on "the voice.
" We will continue with team Gwen's passionate pop singer who rediscovered his love of music after being away from it for six years.
Aid chance to sit down with team Gwen's jeffery Austin and his coach to talk about what this show means to him.
Have a look.
Jeffery Austin, you were this close to not being here.
Very weird to think that I was even at a desk doing public relations.
After high school, I was way too scared to pursue music.
Your mind audition, come out, Sam Smith, hear this voice, Gwen.
I can't believe you were the only person that turned around.
I was shocked nobody else turned.
What sorts of things were you telling jeffery as this competition was going on? I think it was almost undoing him, okay, let's zip off this layer and we are going to see what's underneath there.
You are going to walk toward him and let him know that you're changing your mood.
I was just being as honest as I could be with him.
There's a, like, tiny percent that I don't believe.
Okay.
Every time that I've given something that she didn't believe She called you on it? Yeah, so, I can't thank her enough.
Thank you.
The live playoffs finally felt like I was breaking through emotionally.
You could really win this whole thing.
For the top ten, you did "jealous" by labyrinth.
Hard for me to say it felt like something I would want to do after the show on my album, if I ever get to make one.
When did you Cher "believe" you were number thrown at overall I tunes chart.
To you believe in life after love and I got a full-blown Cher tweet laced with emother-in-law Jesse.
What did that mean to you? Everything.
And I did come out there swinging when you didn't call my name to vote me through.
You sang "make it rain" like no way you were gonna leave.
.
That was the most incredible performance ever, ever, ever.
You deserve to win.
Be begging you baby, begging you not to leave flip a country song doesn't happen very often and makes sense it is such an emotional thing that is your whole thing.
It feels like, in my gut, something I connect to.
Right.
Why don't you stay spot for the show, I need to channel that energy, the instant save for me, so there's really no going back.
Everything you did that night has to happen again and more.
Oh, it's gonna happen.
That's how, right there.
Look at that yeah.
It's happening.
With "stay," least welcome back jeffery Austin.

Blake, let's start with you.
Man, I like you doing country.
That's awesome, man.
It's a I don't know what to say anymore to all four of you finalists.
You guys are all so incredible.
But I will say this about you, jeffery, you're the guy that, from the blind auditions to now, you snuck up on all of us and every time you get on that stage, you make even more of a believer of all of us.
So, congratulations to making it this far.
Pharrell? Yeah, I agree with Blake.
Like, this must be, like, an amazing feeling for you, you know, this to to have this journey on this season like this and to think that you know, you hadn't been singing for six years or performing for six years.
I can't imagine you're not inspiring somebody who put down the microphone for a bit and said I'm not doing this anymore, you're going to inspire somebody to pick it back up and do what they're supposed to be doing with their lives.
And your coach, Gwen? I'm standing up, because I feel like this is my chance, right? Yes, ma'am.
I just want to say that, first of all, I know you are just so incredible because the problem with you is that you can make real records after this, The Voice that people recognize on the radio.
If you are going to vote tonight, you have to vote for j Jeffery, he made such improvement.
Team Gwen to win.
There you are.
C if you want jeffery to be the winner of The Voice, go to nbc.
Com, "the voice's" Facebook page or download the song on iTunes.

Coming up, Bart's touching we are going to continue now with the sentimental Christmas favorite that Barrett picked.
Here he is now with "silent night.
" Oooooo silent night holy night all is calm all is bright round young virgin mother and child holy infant so tender and mild sleep in heavenly peace sleep in heavenly peace oooo oooo silent night holy night son of God love's true light radiant beams from thy holy face with the dawn of redeeming grace Christ the saviour is born Christ the saviour is born Christ the saviour is born Jesus the saviour is born ooooo that is Barrett baber, everybody.
Nice job, Barrett.
Pharrell, we are going to start with you.
Yeah, it's getting Child to sleep over there.
It is getting tough to to, um, I don't know, to describe what it is that you guys are doing, 'cause all of you guys are like so incredibly talented, but I will say that, you know, your whole life story, you know, it just it comes out every time you sing.
And that's that's an amazing ability that you have, man.
You touch people every time you sing.
It's 'cause you sing your story and that's that's next level.
Congratulations.
Thanks.
Adam.
I'm not gonna lie to you, man, it's super hard to keep coming up with things to say to these people.
Like, I love you, dude, I always have and you're amazing.
And like you're still amazing.
Yeah.
All right.
I mean, I've been a huge fan of yours for a long time and you did an amazing job, again.
Congratulations.
I wish I had something more interesting to say.
It seems like we are making a lot of comments tonight, which is cool.
It's all good.
And his wife is holding babies there she is sleeping.
I think they should talk about him.
Anyway, it was great.
Coach Blake.
As we search for more compliments for you, Barrett, 'cause I'm right there with them, it's at this point, it's but I will say this, the thing that I appreciate about you and that's a good example, "silent night," man, everything that you perform, you put your own spin on it.
So, there's nobody else out there like you, man and that's probably the thing that's gonna be the reason that you go on and you make it in country music after this, 'cause there's nobody else only the radio that sounds anything like you, man.
Congratulations again, dude.
Great job.

When we come back, jeffery Austin joins Gwen for a li welcome back.
It is our live finale going on tonight.
From the first moment Gwen heard jeffery Austin sing, she recognized the passion in his voice.
With Gwen's encourage.
Jeffery became the artist he always knew he could be.
Tonight, a duet that's the right fit for both of these incredible vocalists.
When we started, I turned around, and here we are at the end, the two of us.
So happy that we made it this far.
I was having a very, like, surreal moment being in this room because I have been in this studio for so many years.
Now we are going to do this duet, "leather and lace," which is crazy, I have never been in the final, I never got to do this part either.
So this is my first time.
Love is forever face to face my city or mountains, stay with me, stay I could sing every emotional heartbreak song in the book for this show, but it's been so therapeutic.
I want to thank you for pushing me to open up, because I wouldn't have unless you had.
I feel like my whole existence, like, of music was always about just being honest.
By doing that, you can get so much back.
I just think this is, like, a perfect lyrical song for both of us and I feel like tone-wise it is perfect for both of us as well, which is rare, because obviously, I sing way better than you, because it is going to be really hard for you to keep up with me.
I need you to love me, I need you today you sound so good on this.
Seriously, every round, I felt like I have had to fight and improve myself and I know that you have been fighting for me and believing in me.
You have got me here.
You got you here.
Just doing all the work, which is so fun to watch.
You are so talented.
So cool.
Well, thank you.
Such a good song.
You guys are good song writers, don henley and Stevie nicks.
Very good.
With "leather and lace," please welcome jeffery Austin and his coach, Gwen Stefani.
Is love so fragile and the heart so hollow shatter with words impossible to follow you're saying I'm fragile I try not to be I search only for something I can't see I have my own life and I am stronger than you know still I carry this feeling when you walked into my house that you won't be walking out the door lovers forever face to face my city or mountains stay with me, stay I need you to love me I need you today give to me your leather take from me my lace you in the moonlight with your sleepy eyes could you ever love a man like me and you were right when I walked into your house I knew I'd never want to leave sometimes I'm a strong man sometimes cold and scared and sometimes I cry but that time I saw you I knew with you to light my nights somehow I'd get by lovers forever face to face my city or mountains stay with me, stay I need you to love me I need you today give to me your leather take from me my lace lovers forever face to face my city or mountains stay with me, stay I need you to love me I need you today give to me your leather take from me my lace take from me my lace take from me my lace welcome back.
It is The Voice, the live finale.
Ladies and gentlemen, how about a big hand for Paul mirkovich and the incredible "voice" band for yet another unbelievable season from them.
We thank them so much.
Let's continue with another powerful tribute to the holidays.
Here is Jordan Smith with his favorite Christmas song, "Mary, did you know.
" That your baby boy will one day walk on water? Mary, did you know that your baby boy will save our sons and daughters? Did you know that your baby boy has come to make you new and this child that you've delivered will soon deliver you? Mary, did you know that your baby boy will give sight to a blind man? Mary, did you know that your baby boy will calm a storm with his hand did you know that your baby boy has walked where angels trod and when you kiss your little baby you've kissed the face of God oh, Mary, did you know Mary, did you know the blind will see the deaf will hear and the dead will live again the lame will leap the dumb will speak the praises of the lamb Mary, did you know that your baby boy is lord of all creation Mary, did you know that your baby boy would one day rule the nations did you know that your baby boy is heaven's perfect lamb and this sleeping child you're holding he is the great the great I am ahhh Mary, did you know Mary, did you know Jordan Smith, everybody.
"The voice," live finale performance show, almost coming to a close.
Incredible response from the studio audience.
Let talk to our coaches, if we can.
Pharrell? Oh, man.
You are, um, I think the people are just ready for you to make a record, man.
And I you know, my greatest hope for you is that you that that dream is realized, but in the proper way, maybe go to a label that really understands everything that you need and everything that these people have come to to fall in love with out of you, you know, not becoming something else, not chart chasing, just Jordan Smith.
That's what they want.
Thank you, pharrell.
Adam, I know it might be hard to come up with comments.
Right? Right? Right.
I have so much I only have things to say to this guy things come up at the last second, how could I possibly have anything left.
One thing I want to tell you guys is little story, this song which I had never heard before in my life, which is so beautiful, is was a last-minute change, it was not my idea, it was his idea, I had another idea.
Now hold on.
I don't have much time.
Please, stop it.
Was a last-minute change and that just shows you that something different about this guy, this guy is an artist, he has a vision and I let it go because it's his career, it's his world and I'm so happy that I did, 'cause mine wouldn't have been the right choice.
His was the right choice and I'm so overjoyed that you made it and I applaud you.
Remember, if you want Jordan to be the winner of "the voice," you can vote on nbc.

Emily Ann, take us back before you even auditioned for this show.
I was going to school and singing on the weekends at little places in downtown Knoxville.
I just juaned to do something more and what kind of led me here.
I hope you dance you go back to the blind audition and the half dozen songs you have done so far, you have grown and improved.
Blake helped so much with you.
I look at you and go she will be around 20 years in country music.
No question about that.
Week after week, she delivers these epic performances.
Baby don't you know this country girl's still free what was it like to talk to wynonna judd? It was so unexpected.
You are a young girl, yet you seem to have so much respect for the classic country.
Where does that come from? I just have grown up around family who loves that type of music and, like, for Christmas, my always and uncles would come over and give me Dolly parton albums.
I know we have a little girl from my hometown.
Thank you for representing us in east Tennessee.
She got the approval of Dolly part.
Wynonna, Ricky scaggs, these people are becoming friends of Emily.
She is a great, great example of what hard work can do for you.
Emily, for the first time, will be doing a current song on the radio right now.
I just love this song, so I'm really, really excited to do it.
I had a dream about a burning house you were stuck inside I couldn't get you out I just think this is the perfect time to really go out on a limb and do something a little bit different.
Oh, my God, that's so good.
You got to be excited now I know, I love this.
This is like swinging for the fence.
Emily Ann can definite lib the next Taylor swivft, the next ca c Carrie Underwood.
If there is ever a song to get lost in it is this song.
You get lost.
This song gives you a shot at this thing.
That's crazy.
That's crazy.
Thank you.
