Absolutely incredible.
Whoo! Aah! To help prepare their artists, our coaches will bring in some of the biggest names in music.
Hello, Mr.
diddy! Sean "diddy" combs Gwen Stefani Tori Kelly And Patti LaBelle.
Sing for me now giuchie giuchie ya ya dada If I wasn't already Patti LaBelle and there was a show like "the voice," I would be in line like gangbusters.
Marmala-a-a-a-a-de whoa! This is "the voice" And later, we give you an exclusive look at never-before-seen footage of our coaches.
Do not put that on the show.
The best of the blind auditions starts right now.
Up first is four-time champion Blake Shelton, who's looking to win another season of "the voice.
" Yes! I'm back here for one reason.
I want to win it all.
No one's gonna stop me.
Who do y'all think that Brittany should pick as her coach? Where'd that come from? You know, after 10 seasons of being a coach on this show, there's nothing more exciting than to share music and share knowledge with some of these new up-and-coming artists.
I've got so much respect for you that I did something so humiliating as to hit my button when you're singing his freaking song.
That's how much respect I have for you.
Oh, you're a dead man, Shelton.
Obviously, I'm always looking for that great country singer.
But more than that, I'm just looking for somebody that's a star.
Did you bring your mom? Is she here with you to watch, or who's here? Yeah, my mom and my dad are both here.
Mom, tell kristen to pick me! I do get intimidated going toe-to-toe specifically with Blake.
With the accent, those dimples.
But he needs to be a little intimidated this time 'round.
He needs to know he's not the boss.
Get over here and sit down.
You're disqualified from this.
When I'm here, you don't run the show, Blake.
Just She's right about that, actually.
Blake has a really serious arsenal.
-Blake.
-Blake.
I pick Blake.
Yes! Oh, look at that.
Do you like that right there? Do you like that? Do you like that? Blake is warm.
He's all about the heart.
Man.
I don't know that I've ever recognized true greatness so quickly.
You know, it's awful early, but I feel like I've got a handful of artists that could make it into the finale.
Definitely wouldn't be surprised to see team Blake be the winner again this season.
Thank you.
The first artist to walk across "the voice" stage this season was 23-year-old pop singer and dancer Paxton ingram, who shocked everyone with his coach pick.
I was doing music videos, tours, under some amazing artists, including Britney Spears and Jennifer Lopez.
But seeing what they were doing, I wanted that so bad, and I realized that that was the actual dream.
Somebody said you got a new friend whoa.
That's good.
It is good.
Hmm does she love you better than I can? There's a big black sky over my town wow.
Don't! And I know where you're at, I bet she's around yeah, I know it's stupid but I just gotta see this for myself and I'm in the corner, watching you kiss her ohh I keep dancing on my own I keep dancing on my own ohh no! -Ah! -Man.
I don't know that I've ever recognized true greatness so quickly.
Thank you so much, Blake.
Thank you.
I honestly didn't know what to expect.
Who, what I just knew how you were singing was crazy.
And I'm kind of, like, at a loss for words.
Perfect.
Perfect.
I'm not at a loss of words.
I think that you, vocally, are absolutely brilliant.
And I think that I could be a great coach for you.
I'm gonna go with Blake.
Yes! -What? Wow.
-Thank you so much.
He ended up going with me, and I'm so glad.
I promise you.
This is gonna be a lot of fun.
I'm always looking for an artist unlike anybody that I've ever heard before.
Just because I'm a country artist doesn't mean I can't mentor a young pop artist.
I've got a lot of plans for that guy, and I think he's gonna go a long way.
How'd you do that? I couldn't believe it.
I'm shocked.
You shocked us all by picking Blake.
Why? -Why? Because he was the first to turn around.
And then he said, "I recognize greatness.
" So I was like, "I got to go with that.
" Didn't think I would get him, did you? Then I did.
Oh, look at that.
You like that right there? You like that moonwalk? You like that? You like that? Yeah, you're right.
That is so bad.
But I got Blake also added 21-year-old pop/country singer Teresa guidry Girl crush, ohh by using a new strategy.
If I hadn't turned around, he wouldn't have.
You and me together, that's a threat to them.
I started this thing this season where I was waiting, literally till like the last one or two seconds to hit my button.
It was absolutely driving the other coaches crazy.
I want to hear everything they do before I make that commitment.
Adam, I love you, but I pick Blake.
Yes! Blake was up to his same old tricks again, landing 21-year-old pop singer brittney Lawrence.
And now I'm a warrior and I've goker skin With another last-second button push.
What? Aah! -Oh, he did it again? Wow.
Wow.
-It just keeps happening.
-Wow.
-He keeps doing this to me.
Blake's been doing this really weird, sneaky thing.
It's like a new tic of his.
Yeah.
Where he, like, waits till the last second and pushes.
What was attractive about your voice to me, which was it just has that quality.
I would love to have you on team Blake.
Please, brittney.
Please.
You're my girl, but I'm gonna have to go with Blake.
Yes! Brittney chose me as her coach, and I'm so happy.
She just has this smoothness to her voice, but also so much energy and power.
Great pitch.
She's that type of artist that she could probably do about anything you throw at her.
It's okay.
It's okay.
I can take it.
Wait.
Don't put your cooties No, your germs.
Blake's next addition was 20-year-old country artist and former competitive cheerleader Peyton Parker.
All right.
Now here you go again you say you want your freedom well, who am I to keep you down? It's only right that you should play the way that you feel -You all right? -Oh, my God! Carefully to the sound of your loneliness like a heartbeat drives you mad in the stillness of remembering what you had ooh, and what you lost whoa! Oh, thunder only happens when it's raining players only love you when they're playing what's your name? My name's Peyton Parker.
I'm 20 years old.
I'm from kennesaw, Georgia, but I've lived in Nashville for about three years.
Yes! Yeah.
Anytime anyone says Nashville, it's like "Who do you pick as your coach?" "Blake.
" I get excited when she says Nashville 'cause that's what I want her to say.
You know how much I want you, Peyton? Yeah! Yeah! That's what I'm willing to do for you, Peyton.
I want you.
I pick Blake.
Oh, baby girl! Go ahead.
Yeah, put it on.
Put it on, cowboy.
All right.
Super excited to get Peyton on my team.
She's a guitar player.
She's a songwriter.
I think Peyton's gonna be one to watch in this competition.
-That was good fun.
-Thank you.
I pulled out all the stops, but it just didn't work out for me.
A-ha, ha, ha, ha! You're as warm Coming up, we'll meet more of team Blake.
I hold on Angie! Ma-a-a-a-n's world And later, we'll give you a sneak peek at the battle rounds.
Yes! Ohhh ohhh Including Patti LaBelle, Tori Kelly, Sean "diddy" combs, and Gwen Stefani, who all joined our coaches -Hi.
-What's up? Rock-n-roll goddess diva.
-Whoa.
To get the best out of their artists.
You got to dance to this a couple of times.
Be like, "ooh, girl!" Welcome back.
This is the best of the blind auditions.
We're catching you up on how our coaches picked their teams, and getting you ready for next week's heated battle rounds.
One of Blake's biggest wins of the season was 20-year-old Mary Sarah, whose vintage country sound got all four coaches to push their buttons.
Where the boys are wow.
Someone waits for me really good voice.
From the very first four bars of her singing, I cogniz that she had something ve classic about her voice.
Just definitely super special.
Looking there for me No! In a crowd of a million people -whoo! -All you needed right there.
-Just one, baby, just one.
-All you needed.
My Valentine and then I'll climb to the highest steeple and tell the world he's mine till he holds me I'll wait impatiently where the boys are where the boys are she's real ugly.
Where the boys are someone waits for me Your vocals were pretty undeniable.
You hit, like, a belted note in the stratosphere, and I was like, "okay, it's just I look stupid now if I'm not gonna push my button.
" You were consistent the whole way through.
And I'd love to be your coach.
-Thank you so much.
You actually sound like you came from that era.
And it's gonna be so refreshing to hear somebody bring that era of music back to a stage like this on primetime television, on national television.
Let's do it, man.
I pick Blake Shelton.
The most exciting thing about Mary to me is she's gonna show everybody that music back then is cool, too.
Oh, my God, this is so exciting.
Mary Sarah was amazing.
The purity of her voice was so cool.
I think she's Blake's best singer, definitely.
Where the losers are Blake also added 26-year-old singer/songwriter Brittany kennell.
Oh! Sheryl crow.
God, I feel like hell tonight tears of rage I cannot fight I'd be the last to help you understand are you strong enough to be my man? Is that Gwen Stefani? I like that.
Your voice is magical.
And Christina said it kind of sounds like Gwen.
Two girls I really like.
Bam! I'm in.
I was just blown away by this girl.
I love her voice so much.
We can try all kinds of different things musically with her, and she'll find a way to make them her own.
Oh, man, this is awesome.
Cool, cool.
Whoa Blake continued to build his diverse team Don't be afraid, Cecilia, I'm the satellite Picking up 18-year-old indie rock artist Gina castanzo Between your sound and your stage presence, we are literally the oddest couple in the history of "the voice.
" It's gonna work, though.
It's gonna work.
It's gonna work.
Say Geronimo 20-year-old pop singer trey o'Dell Say Geronimo This guy up here that's just killing it.
Welcome to my team, buddy.
Great job, dude.
And 28-year-old country vocalist Justin whisnant.
Yeah, I'm raising my glass to those savin' our ass overseas One of my favorite things about Justin's voice is it doesn't match his look.
I mean, the guy looks all slicked up.
He's got on these suspenders, but his voice is just country as dirt.
Next for team Blake was 33-year-old country singer Adam Wakefield, who put his twist on a George Jones classic.
You're as smooth as Tennessee whiskey you're as sweet as strawberry wine you're as warm as a glass of Brandy honey, I stay stoned on your love all the time did you say your name is Adam? -Yeah.
And you said you were from where, sir? I'm from Nashville.
Yes! Finally, there's gonna be a studly Adam on this show.
-Shut up! -Finally.
-I pick Blake.
-Yes! You know, Adam's g a little bit of an R&B soulful take on country music.
Yes! That's exciting to me.
We're gonna be able to try some country music that I haven't been able to try yet on "the voice.
" Blake's next artist is originally from El Salvador 24-year-old Angie keilhauer.
Are you country? I see your boots.
Yeah.
Is that the el Salvadorian roots or is that the Georgia roots? Both of them mixed together.
My dad he left a lot behind.
And more than anything in the world, I want to show him what he did for me.
So if you ever worry 'bout me walking out baby, let me tell you something I hold on Can you hear me, baby? I hold on There's something very undisciplined about how you perform.
And to have a girl take that approach in country music It's about damn time it happened.
There is something that was breaking the mold, and that's precisely why I think you should really ponder this decision carefully.
Big mistake.
I pick Blake.
Yes! Angie! Angie's wild.
She's kind of a rocker chick, but with a country edge.
I can't wait to be the one that introduces her to Nashville.
And with that, Blake's team is almost complete.
All right! He will have to wait until the final night of the blind auditions to draft the 12th member of his team.
I only have one spot left, so I'm being really picky.
I'm hoping to hear that next superstar that's gonna be on the radio.
That person that isn't just one genre, that's just larger than life.
Mary! I know I have a winner in this bunch.
I may have more than one winner in this bunch.
It almost isn't fair that I have more than one winner.
I'm back.
I'm back.
Here is a sneak peek at how Blake prepared his team for battle with help from global music and style icon And last season's coach Gwen Stefani.
Hi.
What's up? Rock-n-roll goddess diva.
-Whoa.
-Legend.
-What? - Living legend.
- I brought Gwen in because if there's anybody who understands what a battle round is, it's somebody who's been a coach.
Hi! -Hi! Mary and Justin, this is Gwen.
I'm Gwen.
Hi.
Oh, my gosh.
You re so beautiful.
Thank you.
Oh, my gosh, I love Gwen! Like, her ah! Everything about her.
I remember singing "bananas" in my living room with my sister, and we would be like, "b-a-n-a-n-a-s!" I was already nervous to meet Blake, so two coaches in one, it was crazy.
Ohh I know what you did last summer aah just lie to me, there's no other hey The battle rounds are the first time that us coaches get a chance to work with these artists.
And you start to learn what these artists are made of.
This is the moment right now that I really wanted her to be my mentor.
Y'all know I have a bunch of country artists.
-Uh-huh.
-And now, when it comes to you two, I'm like Gwen! Gwen, will you help me? I've learned from seasons past that Gwen brings a different perspective to this thing than I do as a coach.
Ohh I know what you did last summer aah just lie to me, there's no other ohh, hey I know what you did last summer tell me where you've been whoa! Paxton, what's so great about what you do is that even when you're not singing, you're performing in a way that's so natural.
And I think that once you get more comfortable, you should, like, take a cue from that.
You guys could probably play a little bit with showing off a little bit there.
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know I kno-o-ow I can still hear you say that you would never break the chain Brittany, trey sings with such strength.
You need to figure out a way to stay as present as he feels.
I think the next time we do it, we should do it where you guys maybe get off the microphone stands and then deliver the song in an emotional way.
-Take 'em off of there.
-Let's do it.
-Get rid of that crap.
-All right, cool.
And if you don't love me now if you don't love me now you will never love me again you'll never love me again I still hear you saying you would never break the chain When we come back, we'll show you how pharrell, Adam, and Christina crafted their teams.
What all doing? -And later -Do not put that on the show.
All-new footage of our coaches.
You should do a "just for men" ad.
You got gray hair? Hey, y'all got gray hair? This is "the voice" Welcome back to the best of the blind auditions.
Singer, producer, and season 8-winning "voice" coach pharrell Williams is back.
And he's looking for another victory.
What gets me excited is when I feel something new, different, and fresh.
This is a dream, so I just get to do whatever I want.
My mission is to make sure people leave the show different than the way they came Lifted.
-Pharrell.
-Pharrell.
Pharrell.
Pharrell's strategy is kill 'em with kindness.
That's what he does, man.
He's on fire.
-What is your name? -You know sit down.
I'm giving her a hug! Pharrell is a smooth operator.
He's just silky smooth.
He plays it cool.
I just want to stand behind what it is that you have.
Because if I'm to your left, I'm in your way.
If I'm on your right, I'm in your way.
But if I'm behind you, I won't let you fall.
This is all nonsense, okay? It's like Yoda stuff.
It's hard to tear somebody away from pharrell Williams.
-What?! -He's got such great energy and is such a great guy.
I mean, I'm not sure I wouldn't pick him.
-I pick pharrell.
-Pharrell.
-Pharrell.
-Yes! I love being a coach on "the voice.
" Wake up, wake up! And like every season, I'm looking for different.
So, come on.
Pharrell came out swinging and landed the first four-chair-turn artist of the season, 21-year-old pop singer caity Peters from long beach, California.
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 'cause I wished you the best of all this world could give but I always thought you'd come back and tell me that all you found was heartbreak and misery it's hard for me to say but I'm jealous of the way you're happy without me Whoo! Four of four.
Four-chair turn.
-What is your name? -Whoa.
Stay away.
What are you God.
Giving her a hug.
Thank you.
You know sit down.
What type of music are you interested in doing? I love soulful music, R&B -I love soulful music, too.
-I do, too.
Uh, me too.
I just feel like that intensity that you have and that thing that brought you to tears and made us all turn around, that is what I want to stand behind.
Because this is the kind of intensity that the show is about.
Thank you so much.
Everybody has a different thing they need help with.
That's true.
It's about you being the best whatever it is you want to be.
That's my job as a coach.
-Yep.
That's what I want to do for you, caity, 'cause I think you can win this thing.
I pick pharrell.
-I knew it.
-He deserved it.
Caity just had this thing about her where, when she sang, it's beautiful but haunting.
She's got what it takes to win.
That was, like, killer.
That's a secret weapon.
Next was 27-year-old R&B singer and fourth-generation amusement-park worker Joe vivona.
Joe v.
My grandfather is the chairman of the board around here.
I love the show.
I hope there's a future for him.
You think I can get a couple weeks off work? I'll give you a couple of months off.
Okay.
Would you wake up by my side? No, you won't because you're gone, gone, gone, gone, gone do I have to fall asleep with roses in my hands? Now, do I have to fall asleep with roses in my roses in my hands? No, you won't 'cause you're gone, gone, gone, gone, gone How you doing, Joe? I'm great, pharrell.
I'm really good.
He's like, "I'm great, pharrell Williams" Yeah, exactly.
"Mega producer and superstar" No, no, no.
I "Super charming and handsome.
" He loves it when you compliment him.
Awkward.
Um Right now, you're acting like you almost got hit by a bus.
This is by far the biggest audience I've ever sung in front of.
Take a deep breath.
You keep There's nothing to be nervous about, because you did this.
This was good.
-Thank you.
Joe had an interesting tone.
And I have every bit of confidence that he will get it together.
And I wouldn't have pressed my button if I didn't think that he had what it takes to get to that next step.
Pharrell also added 19-year-old pop singer from Detroit Jonathan bach and 21-year-old pop singer Jessica crosbie.
Thank you.
Singing one of pharrell's biggest hits, worship leader Brian nhira took the stage.
Because I'm happy clap along if you feel like a room without a roof And his risk paid off when he got two coaches to turn their chairs.
Can't nothing ohhh because I'm like a room without a roof happy clap along if you feel like that's what you want to do oh, whoa I'm so happy I would say, as much as I don't ever have a chance against a country artist The chances for Blake on this one Are are literally, like, 10,000 times worse.
Look.
Hey.
What's your name? My name is Brian nhira.
I am 23 years old, from Tulsa, Oklahoma.
-Ohh! -Ohh! Clap along if you feel All right.
All right.
All right.
'Cause I'm happy all right, all right, all right.
Okay.
So, 5,000 times as worse.
I mean, clearly you sing the song much better than I do.
I'm not fishing.
He did some runs that I know I can't do.
I mean, you how long have you been singing? I sang when I was 4 years old.
I was "Jesus loves me" was the first song that I ever sang.
Wow.
I was gonna ask you to sing it, but no pressure.
Jesus loves me, this I know whoo! Whoo! For the Bible tells me so Hey! I was like, "man, g that was moving and special.
" So I was kind of bummed.
Brian He has a great voice.
He does have what it takes to be in this.
He's just gonna have to come out swinging.
It should have been us Coming up, pharrell continues to draft his team.
I've worked with a lot of people who have it and people who don't.
And you have it.
Ahh! -Oh! -And later -Oh, what?! -Are you kidding me? Holy smokes.
Your first look at the battles as pharrell brings in grammy award-winning entertainment mogul Sean "diddy" combs to light a fire under pharrell's team.
-This is a competition.
-Okay.
Give me some of that attitude.
You know what I'm saying? This is "the voice" Welcome back to the best of the blind auditions.
We're catching you up on our coaches' teams as they prepare for next week's battles.
The next artist to join team pharrell was 28-year-old former professional ballet dancer and father from Atlanta Nick hagelin.
My son was born with something called arthrogryposis, which is just stiff joints, weak muscles.
And a few different doctors telling us he'll never walk, he'll never feed himself.
I'm almost there.
At 2 1/2 years old, I taught my son how to walk without a walking device.
Sweet beats, dad.
That'll always be my greatest accomplishment, like, no matter what else happens.
I thought I saw you out there crying oh, oooh I thought I heard you call my name ooohh, oooh I thought I saw you out there crying but are we all lost stars trying to light up the dark? Oooh, oooh, ooh What? Now I have competition at the last millisecond? You guys are killing me.
-Wow.
This is a miracle.
I've been pursuing music for a long time.
I got my family here somewhere.
Why don't you bring them out here now? Come on.
Are you telling me those three made all that racket back there when you said that? Just them.
This is bash.
-Hi, love! -Hi! Hi, hey! When my son was born, they said he might not walk.
-Oh, he's walking.
-And he's walking.
He's killing it, man.
Yeah! -Yay.
Yeah! -Yeah! Your voice It almost reminded me of, like, early Michael.
-Thank you, Christina.
-I-I got to tell you.
Your voice would record -Very well.
-So incredibly, because it already has all the compression and herbs and spices and things that you put on it when you make a record.
I'm such a fan, man.
Thank you.
Herbs and spices.
He just compared your voice to Kentucky fried chicken.
He's an idiot.
Nick, who do you pick as your coach? As an artist, a relationship with the Quincy Jones of our generation is gonna be the strongest thing for me.
No! I pick pharrell.
-No! -Aah! Lost that one.
There's something special there.
He has a really broad range, and he's got a lot of control.
So it will be very interesting to see where he takes himself.
And I intend to give him all the best advice that I can as a coach.
Blake, he didn't even say one word.
He did, like, the pharrell voodoo on him.
Pharrell's next artist was 31-year-old R&B singer and postal service worker Maya Smith.
A woman's only human and you should understand She's not just a plaything whoo! You've gotta be a do right all night ma-a-a-a-n Whoa! Whoo! I hear some beyoncé in there.
-Ooh, really? -Right? I want to help discover the next beyoncé, Maya.
Ahh.
Nobody appreciates a real singer and soulful singer more than myself.
I mean -What?! -I would have to say.
'Cause I just love it.
I felt like your voice just really cut through, you know? That kind of control and that kind of, like, range just becomes super interesting, and I didn't want to miss out on it.
Congratulations on that performance.
Thank you so much.
Thank you, thank you.
I pick pharrell.
Whoa! Maya She's super soulful.
But I would love to see what her other tones sound like.
Really digging deep into her voice to see what else is there so that she can use it to come out fighting hard and fighting the real fight.
Another four-chair-turn artist for pharrell was high-school student Emily keener from wakeman, Ohio.
When are you gonna come dn? Ow wow.
When are you going to land? I should have stayed on the farm I should have listened to my old man you know you can't hold me forever I didn't sign up with you -all four? -All four! So goodbye, yellow brick road where the dogs of society howl you can't plant me in your penthouse I'm going back to my plow that was just breathtaking.
You just used the entire tapestry of your vocal cords.
Ou weren't using one tone.
Ou were using different tones.
Tell me if there's anything I can say to sway your decision, 'cause I see your eyes light up when pharrell talks to you and I'm a little bit I'm a little bit sad.
Hey, my eyes light up when pharrell talks to me.
So, Emily, who do you pick as your coach? I pick pharrell.
-I knew it.
-Ugh! Emily was magical.
She was just so different, you know? And that's what I really love, and I really wanted her to be on my team because I feel like I know how to nurture different.
That was awesome.
Next to join team pharrell was 20-year-old pop/soul singer Abby celso, who took "the voice" stage in memory of her late mother.
Last year, my mom was diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma.
It was a very aggressive cancer.
In September, it had taken her life.
Happy Birthday, dear mommy Watching that happen so quickly was one of the hardest things I think I'll ever go through.
It should've been us it should've been a fire should've been the perfect storm It should've been us, us that's the one you wanted right there! It, it, it should've been us oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh thinking it could be different maybe we missed it thinking it could be different I'm telling you right now that there's nothing like you on this show.
And I've worked with a lot of them in my life to know the difference between people who have it and people who don't, and you have it.
Ahh! You say that you caaaaaaare Coming up, more of team pharrell.

And I can't wait to see where she takes it.
With one night of the blind auditions left, pharrell is still looking for unique talent to complete his team.
Whoo! I have two spots left.
At this point, good is probably not gonna be good enough.
I just want to stand behind what it is that you have.
There's some very, very, very talented people on my team.
But let's see what happens the day of the battle round.
Pharrellill coach tehrough the battles with the help of grammy award-winning entertainment mogul Sean "diddy" combs.
You built an empire that runs the world.

He's won countless grammys.
It should be fun.
Yeah, yeah.
Let's do it.
-Oh! -No! Oh! What?! -Are you kidding me? -Holy smokes.
Seeing p.
Diddy and pharrell, it's like, "okay, yeah, this is happening," and my brain is all over the place.

On that "I want that red velvet," that's maybe when y'all should turn to each other.
-Okay.
-Okay.
-And then -Right.
Boom.
The thing I love about the show is that with hard work, with dedication, with repetition, I see them getting better.
"The voice" puts the voice on the forefront.
-Mm.
-This is your dream.
You have to leave it all on the stage.
With a song like this, you have to understand the importance of the pocket and the melody, so it's just so funky, you know.
And you got to snap your fingers.
You know how to snap your fingers? You got to dance to this a couple of times.
Be like, "ooh, girl!" He's right, because that pocket is what makes that song shine more than anything else.
Ooh, girl shock me like an electric eel you definitely made me want to just get up and dance with you.
-Good.
-That's a first.
Nick, I would love for you to work on transitioning from, like, your head voice and going into your chest voice.
That's gonna have to be crispy.
Yeah.
I want to try some things.
Take it to another level.
Now it has to tap into the emotion.
Yeah.
You have to make me want to cry.
I want y'all to start, like, with your backs turned to each other.
What we don't want you to do is just sing to each other and ignore the audience.
Yeah.
-Let me help set y'all up.
-Yeah.
So, it's like you're cornered in a little bit.
Okay.
But it will never be the same whoo! You feel that thing there, baby? I was like, ting I'm still tingling! Yeah! Tingling! And I might have thought that we werene wanted to fight this war without weapons I need, like, that diva in you.
-Yeah, okay.
-You know what I'm saying? This is a competition.
-Okay.
Give me some of that attitude.
Puff today he was a force.

It's crazy.
He's a master.
He's a teacher.
But I've got thick skin and an elastic heart but your blade, it might be too sharp there's so much incredible potential in both of you guys.

-I pick Adam.
-Adam.
Good night, everybody.
The first member of team Adam was 21-year-old pop rocker Mike schiavo from Los Angeles.
The first cd I ever got was "songs about Jane" by maroon 5, and it definitely put me on a new track with music.
The coaches have such incredible talent, and Adam To be able to work with somebody who had such a huge part in sculpting who I am as an artist, not everybody gets the chance to do that.
Now, if we're talking body you've got a perfect one so put it on me it won't take you long -yes! -Yes! If you love me right we love for life on and on and on bodies our baby-making bodies we just use for fun on and on and on on and on and on on and on and on This one's mine.

" Adam, you should sing that with him and seal the deal.
Yeah, you should, Adam.

All right, all right, all right.
Yeah.
Can you believe it? I don't mind "D" every "A" d minor.

Mike's a big deal.

If you feel it with your heart, then it speaks to the world.
Thank you.

Hey, Owen.
I never get the chance to work with artists like you, and it never ceases to amaze me, because it's the closest thing to what I do as a country artist.
It's lyric-driven.

As far as what you want to accomplish and what you love, that's something that I really know a lot about, and I know a lot about where you're coming from.

Oh, you're so sweet! Next was four-chair-turn artist Ryan Quinn from westmoreland, New York, a music teacher's assistant for children who suffer from trauma.
Come down off your throne and leave your body at home somebody must change You are the reason I've been waiting so long Somebody must change but I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time and I'm wasted and I can't find my way home no I can't find my way home no, I can't find my way home and I ain't done nothing wrong well, I can't find my way home Whoo! Whew.
Man, you are one of those voices that needs to be heard worldwide.
It sounds like you can do just about anything.
What is it that you want to do? I really love the greats like Sam Cooke, Stevie wonder, and Jeff Buckley.
I love Jeff Buckley.
To me, like, all that stuff.
We all do.
Every single song.
We all love Jeff Buckley.
You were hitting notes so high, my eyeballs would have been hanging out of my head Trying to hit those notes, and you barely bend over like "Aaaah!" Whatever.
Thank you.
I'm a dude with a high voice.
And when you got me going like, "damn, that's really high," I can assure you that's really high.
I'm jealous of your tone, 'cause it's extremely round.
And it's really, really beautiful.
I pick Adam.
Oh! Get over here.
Unh! I think that Ryan will go very far on this show.
He's got probably better range than I do.
Thank you.
Thank you.
He's one of my best.
-So sorry.
-Did you come here to break my heart, Ryan? I'm definitely bummed that I didn't get him.
If Adam drops the ball, maybe I'll scoop up Ryan.
Celebrate me! That's so him! That's so him! "Celebrate me!" Adam's team is almost complete, and he is looking for someone very special.
Whoo! One spot left holding out for something brilliant.
All I've ever looked for from the first season of this show is to be inspired.
Waiting for greatness.
Yes! You know, at this point, I'm getting a little bit worried about Adam's team.
I mean, he's picking up some good artists.
Whoo! Come on! And he does this to me every year.
He has me sweating it out.
I can't wait for this.
Now let's take a sneak peak at team Adam as they prepare for next week's battles with the help of best new artist grammy nominee Tori Kelly.
Welcome to our world.
Thank you so much.
I brought in Ms.
Tori Kelly to be my advisor.
She's an incredible singer.
She was just nominated for best new artist.
She's the real deal, and you don't see the real deal that often anymore.
I'm really happy to see you.
But now you're 10 times more nervous? -Thank you.
-Mm.
I've been a fan of "the voice" since the first season, and I just remember being excited that there was a show that just literally focused on the vocal ability of a person.
So, I got good news and bad news.
You're singing a Tori Kelly song.
Bad news is, you're singing a Tori Kelly song.
'Cause I-I-I-I-I'm fragile I think it was the walk-up, the 'Cause I-I-I-I-I you kind of broke, and I think you could do the whole thing in a really strong "falsetto," or mix.
'Cause I'm hollow I'm hollow, oh, oh, oh Natalie, you think a lot.
I don't know where to go with the song.
For me, like, I wrote it about me singing to God.
I'm just crying out, like, "this is bigger than myself right now, and I'm just gonna let go.
" When Tori explained the meaning of the song, that was one of the most freeing parts of that rehearsal.
Hollow yeah, I'm hollow, oh, oh, oh 'caushollow, togetohhhh hollow yeah! It's those honky tonk women laith, I know you were kind of focusing on your guitar a lot in the beginning, but just make sure you come in with the harmony right away.
It just kind of sounded unsure.
Okay.
Matt, I want to hear you sing a little more.
I think that you're gonna have to probably dig a little more here vocally.
She blew my nose, and then she blew my mind if you don't like that, you're an idiot.
She blew my nose, and then she blew my mind oh, yeah how about that? Man, that was so good, you guys.
That was so good.
Coming up, Christina is back.

So here's to all my sisters out there keeping it country let me get a big "hell yeah" from the redneck girls like m hell yeah yeah, yeah-yeah I said, hell yeah hell! -Did you turn? -Yes.
Oh, my God.
Mwah.
Yes! Oh, my God.
-Did you turn? -Yeah.
-Did you really? -Yeah.
Oh! Mwah! -Oh, my God.
-I did, too.
You got to love me, too.
Blake didn't even turn.
What is wrong with you? I told you to push.
I told him to push.
I thought you were the only one who would turn around.
-Really? -I'm kind of disappointed.
I mean, I'm not.
Oh.
Oh.
So we're just chopped liver.
We just mean nothing.
No.
You were my official first girl crush, so -Oh, hey! -Hey! Should we just make out now? -Please.
Please.
-'Cause I was your first girl crush.
Let's just get it over with so we can get to work.
-Aah! -Whoa! Who -take 'em off.

Earmuffs.

If you pick me, there's more of that to come.
But -Whoa! Kata Who do you pick as your coach? I pick Christina.
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Come here, lovely.
I know, I know, I know, I know.
Don't be heartbroken about Adam, 'cause he'll get over it.
Kata is my country firecracker on my team.
She was like a bull ready to come out of the cage.
I snatched that one away.
I'm like, "what?!" Kata has a great voice.
She belongs with Christina.
This is going to be interesting.
Now, if we're talking body You can buy full versions of this season's blind-audition songs on iTunes or listen to them on apple music.
Dancing on my own This is who I am inside You can also pre-order season 9 winner Jordan Smith's new album now on iTunes.
Ooh ooh coming up, Christina pulls out all the stops to get this next artist to join her team.
Bo this is "the voice" Welcome back to the best of the blind auditions.
I love you I don't care if you don't want me After failing to get a chair to turn season 9, Joe maye returned I put a spell on you, you, you, you Got two coaches to push their buttons, and inspired Christina to sing with him.
That is one of my favorite songs in the whole wide world to sing.
I would actually love to sing that with you.
Do you guys want to hear Christina sing it? -Ohh.
-He-hey.
We're standing up! -Come on.
-Uh-oh.
-Yeah! Whoa-oa-oa because you're mi-I-ne oh, you're a dead man, Shelton.
You're mi-I-ne ohh, yeah you, baby, you better stop the things you do-o-o ooh ooh ohh ohh mi-I-I-I-I-I-I-ne you're mine, mine, you're mine, mine mi-I-I-I-I-I-I-ne I ain't lyin' I love you ohh, yes, I love you I love you, too ohh hey I don't care if you don't want me When Joe came out, I had to push my button.
To also to be able to join him onstage, we had a chemistry, we had a vibe going.
And it'll be really fun to see what we do next.
'Cause you're mi-I-I-I-I-I-I-ne baby, I'm yours right now I loved watching Blake cry, squashed like a grape.
With Christina's team almost complete, this could be the season when a female coach finally wins "the voice.
" "The voice" gods are shining down on my chair today.
The winner of season 10 could definitely be on team Christina this year.
Come here, lovely.
I have such a wide variety.
I have pop Hey! -Thank you! I have country, I have soul, I have R&B.
I'm hugging Christina aguilera! I'm hugging an amazing young talent! Thank you! I only have one spot left on my team.
I'm looking for something that really moves me.
Thank you to everybody that said "Christina" in the audience.
Team Christina I think she's got potentially the winner on her team.
And I think that she's got just a lot of really talented singers.
Congratulations.
A girl won "the voice.
" Hey, I hope so.
But before any of Christina's artists can advance in the competition, they'll face off in next week's battles.
Here's a sneak peak at Christina preparing her team with the help from legendary artist Patti LaBelle.
Patti LaBelle is here! Hey, darling.
I am so honored and excited you're here.
I was lucky enough to get Patti LaBelle to come help me advise my team.
She's a multi-grammy-award winner.
50 million-plus records sold.
-Oh, my God! -Ladies! Look who's here.
Oh, my gosh.
My advisor, it's Okay, I'm trying not to cry.
It's Patti LaBelle right in front of me with just pure wisdom.
She said, "hello.
Hey, Joe.
" You wanna give it a go? Tamar, it's so fun for me doing this song, 'cause I get into a character, you know? When she's like, "hello.
Hey, Joe.
" "You wanna give it a go?" -Yeah.
-You got to have soul.
You got to put your foot let's make it a family.
-Oh, my gosh! -Okay.
Sing to me now giuchie, giuchie, ya ya dada whoo! Creole lady marmala-a-a-a-a-de whoa! Whoo! Voulez vous coucher avec moi? This is the best day of my life.
I sang with Christina and Patti.
Like, nothing can top it.
-That was so much fun.
-Mm-hmm.
We haven't done that since the grammys.
I know.
This is a ma-a-a-n's world Wouldn't be nothing I'm really happy with what you're doing.
The only thing If you want to add a little falsetto at the end, like, whenever you guys are going back and forth with the This is a man's, man's Oooh! And then bring it back at the end again.
It's really refreshing, I think.
Okay.
Ma-a-a-a-n's world but it wouldn't be nothing yes! Ohhh ohhh this is just toe-to-toe greatness.
I've been for a walk on a winter's day my only criticism was winter.
Yes, "winner" I said winner.
You said "winner day.
" It's like "win-ter's day.
" Yes.
On a winter's day I went for a walk on a winter's day, yeah Coming up next, all-new footage of our coaches.
There should be all these little explosions and Welcome back.
Now that you are up to speed on our coaches' teams, let's take an exclusive look at never-before-seen footage of our coaches.
This is "the ice" do, do, do, do Christina's so rich that she sucks on precious gems instead of jolly ranchers.
That was his joke since season 1.
-Diamonds.
-I'd suck on ricolas, he'd be like, "what are you sucking on? Rubies?" Sucks on rubies, diamonds.
After 10 seasons on this show, the chemistry that has been established between all of us is so special.
You should do a "just for men" ad.
That's not a bad idea.
I get stressed out on "the voice," here's what I do.
-Mm-hmm.
Got to keep that gray blend a couple years longer.
Now, how great would it be on my commercial if I went, "you got gray hair?" "Y'all got gray hair?" After spending so much time together, we really have become one gigantic family.
I'm probably gonna get in trouble.
Why you gonna get in trouble? My pants areee-through.
Whoo.
A family that really loves to "pester" each other.
What are you doing now? What are you doing now? What are you doing now? What are you doing now? What are you doing then? What are you doing now? What are you doing tomorrow? What are you doing later? What are you doing -Ohh.
-Ohh.
I've never seen them laugh so hard.
Ohh.
-Um -Oh, you're still doing yours? Okay, cool.
Oh! What are we doing right now? Waiting for you to shut up and sit down.
I'm ready.
Now you got to go to makeup! Now you got to go to makeup.
We're gonna I'm finishing this just like this.
You know, the silliness and ridiculousness of the coaches this year have hit an all-time high.
Ooh! Ma, ha, ha, ha.
There should be all these little explosions and Who cares? Blake, Blake, Blake, Blake.
Pants him.
I can't get 'em.
They're on too good.
They're on too good.
Do not put that on the show.
Next Monday, it's a can't-miss episode of "the voice.
" The blind auditions come to an electrifying end.
Adam, Blake, and Christina each have one open spot, while pharrell has two.
Not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider It's the artists' last chance to land a coveted spot on season 10 of "the voice" Ohhhhh And our coaches will do whatever it takes to get the best artists to complete their teams I fully expect to see some claws come out on this one.
Can you please shut your mouth? Now you have to put on your chess-playing hat.
I really want you to think about this.
I got one spot left.
One.
I've been holding out till something spectacular happened, and you were my dream come true! Because immediately following the blind auditions, the battles begin.
It's a ma-a-a-a-n's world the artists will have to deliver But it wouldn't be nothing, no, no because only the best of the best will move on.
Yes! Whew.
Damn.
I'm impressed by that.
This is just toe-to-toe greatness.
Absolutely incredible.
For sure.
You guys are getting stolen.
And one push of the button could change everything.
-We've got a steal! -Whoo! Aah! Yes! -Whoo! Yes.
Chain, chain, chain The award-winning singing competition "the voice" returns -Yeah! -Yeah! Whoo! For an epic 10th season.
What?! You and I messed up this is real me, baby whoo! And the blind auditions set the stage for our greatest season yet.
-Wow.
-Your voice is so enormous.
Season 10 has the best talent we've seen yet.
And there's nothing more exciting than hearing an amazing voice behind me and hitting my button.
Whoo! Tonight, we show you how our coaches' teams are taking shape and give you new insight as to why they made their decisions Your voice already has all the herbs and spices.
He just compared your voice to Kentucky fried chicken.
-Yeah! Oh, ho-ho! As they prepare to fill t.
I've been holding out till something spectacular happened, and you are my dream come true! I only have one spot left on my team.
Now you have to put on your chess-playing hat.
I really want you to think about this.
I got one spot left.
One.
I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no not gonna let 'em ca-a-a-a-tch the midnight rider wow! Next week will be an incredible night as our coaches complete their teams My team is full! And take their artists into battle.
Let the battles begin! On such a winter's da-a-a-a-a-y yeah! This is ama-a-a-a-a-a-zing You are something else.
Absolutely incredible.
Whoo! Aah! To help prepare their artists, our coaches will bring in some of the biggest names in music.
Hello, Mr.
diddy! Sean "diddy" combs Gwen Stefani Tori Kelly And Patti LaBelle.
Sing for me now giuchie giuchie ya ya dada If I wasn't already Patti LaBelle and there was a show like "the voice," I would be in line like gangbusters.
Marmala-a-a-a-a-de whoa! This is "the voice" And later, we give you an exclusive look at never-before-seen footage of our coaches.
Do not put that on the show.
The best of the blind auditions starts right now.
Up first is four-time champion Blake Shelton, who's looking to win another season of "the voice.
" Yes! I'm back here for one reason.
I want to win it all.
No one's gonna stop me.
Who do y'all think that Brittany should pick as her coach? Where'd that come from? You know, after 10 seasons of being a coach on this show, there's nothing more exciting than to share music and share knowledge with some of these new up-and-coming artists.
I've got so much respect for you that I did something so humiliating as to hit my button when you're singing his freaking song.
That's how much respect I have for you.
Oh, you're a dead man, Shelton.
Obviously, I'm always looking for that great country singer.
But more than that, I'm just looking for somebody that's a star.
Did you bring your mom? Is she here with you to watch, or who's here? Yeah, my mom and my dad are both here.
Mom, tell kristen to pick me! I do get intimidated going toe-to-toe specifically with Blake.
With the accent, those dimples.
But he needs to be a little intimidated this time 'round.
He needs to know he's not the boss.
Get over here and sit down.
You're disqualified from this.
When I'm here, you don't run the show, Blake.
Just She's right about that, actually.
Blake has a really serious arsenal.
-Blake.
-Blake.
I pick Blake.
Yes! Oh, look at that.
Do you like that right there? Do you like that? Do you like that? Blake is warm.
He's all about the heart.
Man.
I don't know that I've ever recognized true greatness so quickly.
You know, it's awful early, but I feel like I've got a handful of artists that could make it into the finale.
Definitely wouldn't be surprised to see team Blake be the winner again this season.
Thank you.
The first artist to walk across "the voice" stage this season was 23-year-old pop singer and dancer Paxton ingram, who shocked everyone with his coach pick.
I was doing music videos, tours, under some amazing artists, including Britney Spears and Jennifer Lopez.
But seeing what they were doing, I wanted that so bad, and I realized that that was the actual dream.
Somebody said you got a new friend whoa.
That's good.
It is good.
Hmm does she love you better than I can? There's a big black sky over my town wow.
Don't! And I know where you're at, I bet she's around yeah, I know it's stupid but I just gotta see this for myself and I'm in the corner, watching you kiss her ohh I keep dancing on my own I keep dancing on my own ohh no! -Ah! -Man.
I don't know that I've ever recognized true greatness so quickly.
Thank you so much, Blake.
Thank you.
I honestly didn't know what to expect.
Who, what I just knew how you were singing was crazy.
And I'm kind of, like, at a loss for words.
Perfect.
Perfect.
I'm not at a loss of words.
I think that you, vocally, are absolutely brilliant.
And I think that I could be a great coach for you.
I'm gonna go with Blake.
Yes! -What? Wow.
-Thank you so much.
He ended up going with me, and I'm so glad.
I promise you.
This is gonna be a lot of fun.
I'm always looking for an artist unlike anybody that I've ever heard before.
Just because I'm a country artist doesn't mean I can't mentor a young pop artist.
I've got a lot of plans for that guy, and I think he's gonna go a long way.
How'd you do that? I couldn't believe it.
I'm shocked.
You shocked us all by picking Blake.
Why? -Why? Because he was the first to turn around.
And then he said, "I recognize greatness.
" So I was like, "I got to go with that.
" Didn't think I would get him, did you? Then I did.
Oh, look at that.
You like that right there? You like that moonwalk? You like that? You like that? Yeah, you're right.
That is so bad.
But I got Blake also added 21-year-old pop/country singer Teresa guidry Girl crush, ohh by using a new strategy.
If I hadn't turned around, he wouldn't have.
You and me together, that's a threat to them.
I started this thing this season where I was waiting, literally till like the last one or two seconds to hit my button.
It was absolutely driving the other coaches crazy.
I want to hear everything they do before I make that commitment.
Adam, I love you, but I pick Blake.
Yes! Blake was up to his same old tricks again, landing 21-year-old pop singer brittney Lawrence.
And now I'm a warrior and I've goker skin With another last-second button push.
What? Aah! -Oh, he did it again? Wow.
Wow.
-It just keeps happening.
-Wow.
-He keeps doing this to me.
Blake's been doing this really weird, sneaky thing.
It's like a new tic of his.
Yeah.
Where he, like, waits till the last second and pushes.
What was attractive about your voice to me, which was it just has that quality.
I would love to have you on team Blake.
Please, brittney.
Please.
You're my girl, but I'm gonna have to go with Blake.
Yes! Brittney chose me as her coach, and I'm so happy.
She just has this smoothness to her voice, but also so much energy and power.
Great pitch.
She's that type of artist that she could probably do about anything you throw at her.
It's okay.
It's okay.
I can take it.
Wait.
Don't put your cooties No, your germs.
Blake's next addition was 20-year-old country artist and former competitive cheerleader Peyton Parker.
All right.
Now here you go again you say you want your freedom well, who am I to keep you down? It's only right that you should play the way that you feel -You all right? -Oh, my God! Carefully to the sound of your loneliness like a heartbeat drives you mad in the stillness of remembering what you had ooh, and what you lost whoa! Oh, thunder only happens when it's raining players only love you when they're playing what's your name? My name's Peyton Parker.
I'm 20 years old.
I'm from kennesaw, Georgia, but I've lived in Nashville for about three years.
Yes! Yeah.
Anytime anyone says Nashville, it's like "Who do you pick as your coach?" "Blake.
" I get excited when she says Nashville 'cause that's what I want her to say.
You know how much I want you, Peyton? Yeah! Yeah! That's what I'm willing to do for you, Peyton.
I want you.
I pick Blake.
Oh, baby girl! Go ahead.
Yeah, put it on.
Put it on, cowboy.
All right.
Super excited to get Peyton on my team.
She's a guitar player.
She's a songwriter.
I think Peyton's gonna be one to watch in this competition.
-That was good fun.
-Thank you.
I pulled out all the stops, but it just didn't work out for me.
A-ha, ha, ha, ha! You're as warm Coming up, we'll meet more of team Blake.
I hold on Angie! Ma-a-a-a-n's world And later, we'll give you a sneak peek at the battle rounds.
Yes! Ohhh ohhh Including Patti LaBelle, Tori Kelly, Sean "diddy" combs, and Gwen Stefani, who all joined our coaches -Hi.
-What's up? Rock-n-roll goddess diva.
-Whoa.
To get the best out of their artists.
You got to dance to this a couple of times.
Be like, "ooh, girl!" Welcome back.
This is the best of the blind auditions.
We're catching you up on how our coaches picked their teams, and getting you ready for next week's heated battle rounds.
One of Blake's biggest wins of the season was 20-year-old Mary Sarah, whose vintage country sound got all four coaches to push their buttons.
Where the boys are wow.
Someone waits for me really good voice.
From the very first four bars of her singing, I cogniz that she had something ve classic about her voice.
Just definitely super special.
Looking there for me No! In a crowd of a million people -whoo! -All you needed right there.
-Just one, baby, just one.
-All you needed.
My Valentine and then I'll climb to the highest steeple and tell the world he's mine till he holds me I'll wait impatiently where the boys are where the boys are she's real ugly.
Where the boys are someone waits for me Your vocals were pretty undeniable.
You hit, like, a belted note in the stratosphere, and I was like, "okay, it's just I look stupid now if I'm not gonna push my button.
" You were consistent the whole way through.
And I'd love to be your coach.
-Thank you so much.
You actually sound like you came from that era.
And it's gonna be so refreshing to hear somebody bring that era of music back to a stage like this on primetime television, on national television.
Let's do it, man.
I pick Blake Shelton.
The most exciting thing about Mary to me is she's gonna show everybody that music back then is cool, too.
Oh, my God, this is so exciting.
Mary Sarah was amazing.
The purity of her voice was so cool.
I think she's Blake's best singer, definitely.
Where the losers are Blake also added 26-year-old singer/songwriter Brittany kennell.
Oh! Sheryl crow.
God, I feel like hell tonight tears of rage I cannot fight I'd be the last to help you understand are you strong enough to be my man? Is that Gwen Stefani? I like that.
Your voice is magical.
And Christina said it kind of sounds like Gwen.
Two girls I really like.
Bam! I'm in.
I was just blown away by this girl.
I love her voice so much.
We can try all kinds of different things musically with her, and she'll find a way to make them her own.
Oh, man, this is awesome.
Cool, cool.
Whoa Blake continued to build his diverse team Don't be afraid, Cecilia, I'm the satellite Picking up 18-year-old indie rock artist Gina castanzo Between your sound and your stage presence, we are literally the oddest couple in the history of "the voice.
" It's gonna work, though.
It's gonna work.
It's gonna work.
Say Geronimo 20-year-old pop singer trey o'Dell Say Geronimo This guy up here that's just killing it.
Welcome to my team, buddy.
Great job, dude.
And 28-year-old country vocalist Justin whisnant.
Yeah, I'm raising my glass to those savin' our ass overseas One of my favorite things about Justin's voice is it doesn't match his look.
I mean, the guy looks all slicked up.
He's got on these suspenders, but his voice is just country as dirt.
Next for team Blake was 33-year-old country singer Adam Wakefield, who put his twist on a George Jones classic.
You're as smooth as Tennessee whiskey you're as sweet as strawberry wine you're as warm as a glass of Brandy honey, I stay stoned on your love all the time did you say your name is Adam? -Yeah.
And you said you were from where, sir? I'm from Nashville.
Yes! Finally, there's gonna be a studly Adam on this show.
-Shut up! -Finally.
-I pick Blake.
-Yes! You know, Adam's g a little bit of an R&B soulful take on country music.
Yes! That's exciting to me.
We're gonna be able to try some country music that I haven't been able to try yet on "the voice.
" Blake's next artist is originally from El Salvador 24-year-old Angie keilhauer.
Are you country? I see your boots.
Yeah.
Is that the el Salvadorian roots or is that the Georgia roots? Both of them mixed together.
My dad he left a lot behind.
And more than anything in the world, I want to show him what he did for me.
So if you ever worry 'bout me walking out baby, let me tell you something I hold on Can you hear me, baby? I hold on There's something very undisciplined about how you perform.
And to have a girl take that approach in country music It's about damn time it happened.
There is something that was breaking the mold, and that's precisely why I think you should really ponder this decision carefully.
Big mistake.
I pick Blake.
Yes! Angie! Angie's wild.
She's kind of a rocker chick, but with a country edge.
I can't wait to be the one that introduces her to Nashville.
And with that, Blake's team is almost complete.
All right! He will have to wait until the final night of the blind auditions to draft the 12th member of his team.
I only have one spot left, so I'm being really picky.
I'm hoping to hear that next superstar that's gonna be on the radio.
That person that isn't just one genre, that's just larger than life.
Mary! I know I have a winner in this bunch.
I may have more than one winner in this bunch.
It almost isn't fair that I have more than one winner.
I'm back.
I'm back.
Here is a sneak peek at how Blake prepared his team for battle with help from global music and style icon And last season's coach Gwen Stefani.
Hi.
What's up? Rock-n-roll goddess diva.
-Whoa.
-Legend.
-What? - Living legend.
- I brought Gwen in because if there's anybody who understands what a battle round is, it's somebody who's been a coach.
Hi! -Hi! Mary and Justin, this is Gwen.
I'm Gwen.
Hi.
Oh, my gosh.
You re so beautiful.
Thank you.
Oh, my gosh, I love Gwen! Like, her ah! Everything about her.
I remember singing "bananas" in my living room with my sister, and we would be like, "b-a-n-a-n-a-s!" I was already nervous to meet Blake, so two coaches in one, it was crazy.
Ohh I know what you did last summer aah just lie to me, there's no other hey The battle rounds are the first time that us coaches get a chance to work with these artists.
And you start to learn what these artists are made of.
This is the moment right now that I really wanted her to be my mentor.
Y'all know I have a bunch of country artists.
-Uh-huh.
-And now, when it comes to you two, I'm like Gwen! Gwen, will you help me? I've learned from seasons past that Gwen brings a different perspective to this thing than I do as a coach.
Ohh I know what you did last summer aah just lie to me, there's no other ohh, hey I know what you did last summer tell me where you've been whoa! Paxton, what's so great about what you do is that even when you're not singing, you're performing in a way that's so natural.
And I think that once you get more comfortable, you should, like, take a cue from that.
You guys could probably play a little bit with showing off a little bit there.
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know I kno-o-ow I can still hear you say that you would never break the chain Brittany, trey sings with such strength.
You need to figure out a way to stay as present as he feels.
I think the next time we do it, we should do it where you guys maybe get off the microphone stands and then deliver the song in an emotional way.
-Take 'em off of there.
-Let's do it.
-Get rid of that crap.
-All right, cool.
And if you don't love me now if you don't love me now you will never love me again you'll never love me again I still hear you saying you would never break the chain When we come back, we'll show you how pharrell, Adam, and Christina crafted their teams.
What all doing? -And later -Do not put that on the show.
All-new footage of our coaches.
You should do a "just for men" ad.
You got gray hair? Hey, y'all got gray hair? This is "the voice" Welcome back to the best of the blind auditions.
Singer, producer, and season 8-winning "voice" coach pharrell Williams is back.
And he's looking for another victory.
What gets me excited is when I feel something new, different, and fresh.
This is a dream, so I just get to do whatever I want.
My mission is to make sure people leave the show different than the way they came Lifted.
-Pharrell.
-Pharrell.
Pharrell.
Pharrell's strategy is kill 'em with kindness.
That's what he does, man.
He's on fire.
-What is your name? -You know sit down.
I'm giving her a hug! Pharrell is a smooth operator.
He's just silky smooth.
He plays it cool.
I just want to stand behind what it is that you have.
Because if I'm to your left, I'm in your way.
If I'm on your right, I'm in your way.
But if I'm behind you, I won't let you fall.
This is all nonsense, okay? It's like Yoda stuff.
It's hard to tear somebody away from pharrell Williams.
-What?! -He's got such great energy and is such a great guy.
I mean, I'm not sure I wouldn't pick him.
-I pick pharrell.
-Pharrell.
-Pharrell.
-Yes! I love being a coach on "the voice.
" Wake up, wake up! And like every season, I'm looking for different.
So, come on.
Pharrell came out swinging and landed the first four-chair-turn artist of the season, 21-year-old pop singer caity Peters from long beach, California.
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 'cause I wished you the best of all this world could give but I always thought you'd come back and tell me that all you found was heartbreak and misery it's hard for me to say but I'm jealous of the way you're happy without me Whoo! Four of four.
Four-chair turn.
-What is your name? -Whoa.
Stay away.
What are you God.
Giving her a hug.
Thank you.
You know sit down.
What type of music are you interested in doing? I love soulful music, R&B -I love soulful music, too.
-I do, too.
Uh, me too.
I just feel like that intensity that you have and that thing that brought you to tears and made us all turn around, that is what I want to stand behind.
Because this is the kind of intensity that the show is about.
Thank you so much.
Everybody has a different thing they need help with.
That's true.
It's about you being the best whatever it is you want to be.
That's my job as a coach.
-Yep.
That's what I want to do for you, caity, 'cause I think you can win this thing.
I pick pharrell.
-I knew it.
-He deserved it.
Caity just had this thing about her where, when she sang, it's beautiful but haunting.
She's got what it takes to win.
That was, like, killer.
That's a secret weapon.
Next was 27-year-old R&B singer and fourth-generation amusement-park worker Joe vivona.
Joe v.
My grandfather is the chairman of the board around here.
I love the show.
I hope there's a future for him.
You think I can get a couple weeks off work? I'll give you a couple of months off.
Okay.
Would you wake up by my side? No, you won't because you're gone, gone, gone, gone, gone do I have to fall asleep with roses in my hands? Now, do I have to fall asleep with roses in my roses in my hands? No, you won't 'cause you're gone, gone, gone, gone, gone How you doing, Joe? I'm great, pharrell.
I'm really good.
He's like, "I'm great, pharrell Williams" Yeah, exactly.
"Mega producer and superstar" No, no, no.
I "Super charming and handsome.
" He loves it when you compliment him.
Awkward.
Um Right now, you're acting like you almost got hit by a bus.
This is by far the biggest audience I've ever sung in front of.
Take a deep breath.
You keep There's nothing to be nervous about, because you did this.
This was good.
-Thank you.
Joe had an interesting tone.
And I have every bit of confidence that he will get it together.
And I wouldn't have pressed my button if I didn't think that he had what it takes to get to that next step.
Pharrell also added 19-year-old pop singer from Detroit Jonathan bach and 21-year-old pop singer Jessica crosbie.
Thank you.
Singing one of pharrell's biggest hits, worship leader Brian nhira took the stage.
Because I'm happy clap along if you feel like a room without a roof And his risk paid off when he got two coaches to turn their chairs.
Can't nothing ohhh because I'm like a room without a roof happy clap along if you feel like that's what you want to do oh, whoa I'm so happy I would say, as much as I don't ever have a chance against a country artist The chances for Blake on this one Are are literally, like, 10,000 times worse.
Look.
Hey.
What's your name? My name is Brian nhira.
I am 23 years old, from Tulsa, Oklahoma.
-Ohh! -Ohh! Clap along if you feel All right.
All right.
All right.
'Cause I'm happy all right, all right, all right.
Okay.
So, 5,000 times as worse.
I mean, clearly you sing the song much better than I do.
I'm not fishing.
He did some runs that I know I can't do.
I mean, you how long have you been singing? I sang when I was 4 years old.
I was "Jesus loves me" was the first song that I ever sang.
Wow.
I was gonna ask you to sing it, but no pressure.
Jesus loves me, this I know whoo! Whoo! For the Bible tells me so Hey! I was like, "man, g that was moving and special.
" So I was kind of bummed.
Brian He has a great voice.
He does have what it takes to be in this.
He's just gonna have to come out swinging.
It should have been us Coming up, pharrell continues to draft his team.
I've worked with a lot of people who have it and people who don't.
And you have it.
Ahh! -Oh! -And later -Oh, what?! -Are you kidding me? Holy smokes.
Your first look at the battles as pharrell brings in grammy award-winning entertainment mogul Sean "diddy" combs to light a fire under pharrell's team.
-This is a competition.
-Okay.
Give me some of that attitude.
You know what I'm saying? This is "the voice" Welcome back to the best of the blind auditions.
We're catching you up on our coaches' teams as they prepare for next week's battles.
The next artist to join team pharrell was 28-year-old former professional ballet dancer and father from Atlanta Nick hagelin.
My son was born with something called arthrogryposis, which is just stiff joints, weak muscles.
And a few different doctors telling us he'll never walk, he'll never feed himself.
I'm almost there.
At 2 1/2 years old, I taught my son how to walk without a walking device.
Sweet beats, dad.
That'll always be my greatest accomplishment, like, no matter what else happens.
I thought I saw you out there crying oh, oooh I thought I heard you call my name ooohh, oooh I thought I saw you out there crying but are we all lost stars trying to light up the dark? Oooh, oooh, ooh What? Now I have competition at the last millisecond? You guys are killing me.
-Wow.
This is a miracle.
I've been pursuing music for a long time.
I got my family here somewhere.
Why don't you bring them out here now? Come on.
Are you telling me those three made all that racket back there when you said that? Just them.
This is bash.
-Hi, love! -Hi! Hi, hey! When my son was born, they said he might not walk.
-Oh, he's walking.
-And he's walking.
He's killing it, man.
Yeah! -Yay.
Yeah! -Yeah! Your voice It almost reminded me of, like, early Michael.
-Thank you, Christina.
-I-I got to tell you.
Your voice would record -Very well.
-So incredibly, because it already has all the compression and herbs and spices and things that you put on it when you make a record.
I'm such a fan, man.
Thank you.
Herbs and spices.
He just compared your voice to Kentucky fried chicken.
He's an idiot.
Nick, who do you pick as your coach? As an artist, a relationship with the Quincy Jones of our generation is gonna be the strongest thing for me.
No! I pick pharrell.
-No! -Aah! Lost that one.
There's something special there.
He has a really broad range, and he's got a lot of control.
So it will be very interesting to see where he takes himself.
And I intend to give him all the best advice that I can as a coach.
Blake, he didn't even say one word.
He did, like, the pharrell voodoo on him.
Pharrell's next artist was 31-year-old R&B singer and postal service worker Maya Smith.
A woman's only human and you should understand She's not just a plaything whoo! You've gotta be a do right all night ma-a-a-a-n Whoa! Whoo! I hear some beyoncé in there.
-Ooh, really? -Right? I want to help discover the next beyoncé, Maya.
Ahh.
Nobody appreciates a real singer and soulful singer more than myself.
I mean -What?! -I would have to say.
'Cause I just love it.
I felt like your voice just really cut through, you know? That kind of control and that kind of, like, range just becomes super interesting, and I didn't want to miss out on it.
Congratulations on that performance.
Thank you so much.
Thank you, thank you.
I pick pharrell.
Whoa! Maya She's super soulful.
But I would love to see what her other tones sound like.
Really digging deep into her voice to see what else is there so that she can use it to come out fighting hard and fighting the real fight.
Another four-chair-turn artist for pharrell was high-school student Emily keener from wakeman, Ohio.
When are you gonna come dn? Ow wow.
When are you going to land? I should have stayed on the farm I should have listened to my old man you know you can't hold me forever I didn't sign up with you -all four? -All four! So goodbye, yellow brick road where the dogs of society howl you can't plant me in your penthouse I'm going back to my plow that was just breathtaking.
You just used the entire tapestry of your vocal cords.
Ou weren't using one tone.
Ou were using different tones.
Tell me if there's anything I can say to sway your decision, 'cause I see your eyes light up when pharrell talks to you and I'm a little bit I'm a little bit sad.
Hey, my eyes light up when pharrell talks to me.
So, Emily, who do you pick as your coach? I pick pharrell.
-I knew it.
-Ugh! Emily was magical.
She was just so different, you know? And that's what I really love, and I really wanted her to be on my team because I feel like I know how to nurture different.
That was awesome.
Next to join team pharrell was 20-year-old pop/soul singer Abby celso, who took "the voice" stage in memory of her late mother.
Last year, my mom was diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma.
It was a very aggressive cancer.
In September, it had taken her life.
Happy Birthday, dear mommy Watching that happen so quickly was one of the hardest things I think I'll ever go through.
It should've been us it should've been a fire should've been the perfect storm It should've been us, us that's the one you wanted right there! It, it, it should've been us oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh thinking it could be different maybe we missed it thinking it could be different I'm telling you right now that there's nothing like you on this show.
And I've worked with a lot of them in my life to know the difference between people who have it and people who don't, and you have it.
Ahh! You say that you caaaaaaare Coming up, more of team pharrell.
And later, a glimpse of never-before-seen footage of our coaches.
What are you doing now? What are you doing now? What are you doing now? What are you doing now? What are you doing now? -That was good.
This is "the voice" Welcome back to the best of the blind auditions.
Next for team pharrell was 24-year-old preschool teacher Hannah huston from Lincoln, Nebraska.
You say that you caaaaaaare yeah and I was unawaaaaaare yeah and you say that you caaaaaaaare yeah Whoo! All four! Whoo! Hi, Hannah.
How are you? I'm well.
How are you? I'm really good.
I got to press my button for somebody that I'm really excited about, and I'll tell you why.
Thank you.
I thought you had a great voice.
I would love the opportunity to be a part of your journey.
Thank you very much.
-Hi, Hannah.
-Hi.
I'm looking around going, "oh, my gosh.
This is not my wheelhouse, but this girl is so freaking good.
" Like, I'm having a fit back here.
I couldn't believe it, because -Pbht! -I can vouch for that.
He was cheering you on like, "what are you guys doing not pushing your button?!" He was really Is that your impersonation of me? That's a good Blake.
I like that Blake impression.
"What are you What are you doing?" "What are you guys doing not pushing your buttons?! Y'all are crazy!" Hannah, who do you pick as your coach? Pharrell.
Yes! Hannah huston Her voice was just reaching.
You could just feel her spirit was reaching.
Oh, my God! Whaaaat?! There was something different with her.
And I can't wait to see where she takes it.
With one night of the blind auditions left, pharrell is still looking for unique talent to complete his team.
Whoo! I have two spots left.
At this point, good is probably not gonna be good enough.
I just want to stand behind what it is that you have.
There's some very, very, very talented people on my team.
But let's see what happens the day of the battle round.
Pharrellill coach tehrough the battles with the help of grammy award-winning entertainment mogul Sean "diddy" combs.
You built an empire that runs the world.
I'm here to help out in any way I can, brother.
Diddy's an artist.
He's a producer.
He's won countless grammys.
It should be fun.
Yeah, yeah.
Let's do it.
-Oh! -No! Oh! What?! -Are you kidding me? -Holy smokes.
Seeing p.
Diddy and pharrell, it's like, "okay, yeah, this is happening," and my brain is all over the place.
I want that red velvet I want that sugar sweet go together, guys.
On that "I want that red velvet," that's maybe when y'all should turn to each other.
-Okay.
-Okay.
-And then -Right.
Boom.
The thing I love about the show is that with hard work, with dedication, with repetition, I see them getting better.
"The voice" puts the voice on the forefront.
-Mm.
-This is your dream.
You have to leave it all on the stage.
With a song like this, you have to understand the importance of the pocket and the melody, so it's just so funky, you know.
And you got to snap your fingers.
You know how to snap your fingers? You got to dance to this a couple of times.
Be like, "ooh, girl!" He's right, because that pocket is what makes that song shine more than anything else.
Ooh, girl shock me like an electric eel you definitely made me want to just get up and dance with you.
-Good.
-That's a first.
Nick, I would love for you to work on transitioning from, like, your head voice and going into your chest voice.
That's gonna have to be crispy.
Yeah.
I want to try some things.
Take it to another level.
Now it has to tap into the emotion.
Yeah.
You have to make me want to cry.
I want y'all to start, like, with your backs turned to each other.
What we don't want you to do is just sing to each other and ignore the audience.
Yeah.
-Let me help set y'all up.
-Yeah.
So, it's like you're cornered in a little bit.
Okay.
But it will never be the same whoo! You feel that thing there, baby? I was like, ting I'm still tingling! Yeah! Tingling! And I might have thought that we werene wanted to fight this war without weapons I need, like, that diva in you.
-Yeah, okay.
-You know what I'm saying? This is a competition.
-Okay.
Give me some of that attitude.
Puff today he was a force.
And it was amazing to watch him read everybody in two seconds and tell them what they needed to do.
It's crazy.
He's a master.
He's a teacher.
But I've got thick skin and an elastic heart but your blade, it might be too sharp there's so much incredible potential in both of you guys.
It's tough.
Noooo When we come back Adam goes all out I'll believe yeah! To win over his next artist.
And she will be loved - whoo! - And later What are we doing right now? Waiting for you to shut up and sit down.
All-new footage of our coaches.

Greatest moment of the show's history, right there! I'm always here to win.

You know, it's hard enough to be around Adam just in life.
Look at those boots.
-Good ones, too.
Not crappy ones like yours.
But being around Adam when he's the returning champion It's impossible to deal with that dude.
This is all about you and me.
I don't want this guy getting in your head.
-I pick Adam.
-Adam.
Yes! Thank the lord.
Adam's won three times now.
I'm bitter about that.
-He's gold.
There's no way we can let this happen again.
She's all mine.
Don't allow yourself to be "marooned.
" -I pick Adam.
-Adam.
-Adam.
-Yeah! What?! Adam has great instincts, and he seems to be stacking this really eclectic team that could be a real threat.
Yeah, man.
You're awesome.
After 10 seasons on this show, what inspires me still to this day is when you hear somebody who's phenomenal.
It's amazing to see these kids experiencing that kind of life change.
You're awesome.
That was the most beautiful thing I have ever heard in my entire life.
-I pick Adam.
-Adam.
Good night, everybody.
The first member of team Adam was 21-year-old pop rocker Mike schiavo from Los Angeles.
The first cd I ever got was "songs about Jane" by maroon 5, and it definitely put me on a new track with music.
The coaches have such incredible talent, and Adam To be able to work with somebody who had such a huge part in sculpting who I am as an artist, not everybody gets the chance to do that.
Now, if we're talking body you've got a perfect one so put it on me it won't take you long -yes! -Yes! If you love me right we love for life on and on and on bodies our baby-making bodies we just use for fun on and on and on on and on and on on and on and on This one's mine.

-Uh-oh.
-That is really good news.
-Uh-oh.
-Oh, boy.
Mike, what is your favorite maroon 5 song? I'd probably throw it back to "she will be loved.
" Adam, you should sing that with him and seal the deal.
Yeah, you should, Adam.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right, all right, all right.
Yeah.
Can you believe it? I don't mind "D" every "A" d minor.
Out on your corn "A" -Yes, Adam! Whoo! - In the pouring rain look for the girl with the broken smile ask her if she wants to stay awhile she will be loved and she will be loved The fact that he grew up with our music made me really happy.
That never gets old.
It's a cool thing, inspiring thing to hear.
That's pretty good.
Such a great musician, such a great singer.
Yay! Watch out for Mike.
Mike's a big deal.
Have you ever sang like that with somebody? -No.
-Maybe once, ever? -No.
-I got you to do it? -You did.

Honestly, it's probably the most musicians I've ever had.
I'm very, very happy to meet you.
Thank you, sir.
It's cool.
It feels very natural.
He's a dope guitar player.
-Yeah.
And he's got a voice, too.

We're catching you up on how our coaches picked their teams, and getting you ready for next week's heated battle rounds.
Adam continued to strengthen his team by adding four-chair-turn artist Owen danoff, a 25-year-old folk rocker whose family has a strong musical legacy.
Well, it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe if you don't know by now and it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe it'll never do somehow when your rooster crows at the break of dawn look out your window, and I'll be gone I gave her my heart, but she wanted my soul don't think twice, it's all right well, don't think twice, it's all right -Four.

What were they called? Starland vocal band.
"Afternoon delight"? -Yeah.
-Whoa.

I do know the place that you're coming from, and I think music is music no matter what genre it is.
If you feel it with your heart, then it speaks to the world.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Hey, Owen.
I never get the chance to work with artists like you, and it never ceases to amaze me, because it's the closest thing to what I do as a country artist.
It's lyric-driven.
I'd li throw somethi.
As far as what you want to accomplish and what you love, that's something that I really know a lot about, and I know a lot about where you're coming from.
Please don't forget to factor that in.
It's something I know very well.
I pick Adam.
Yes.

You've made the right choice.
Owen's awesome.

I know for sure that everyone in this room wants you to come back.
Just say it with me.
Caroline, will you please come back? -Yes.
-Yeah.
A lot's changed since season 9.
I finally reached 5 feet.
Can't you tell? Like one inch.
So far away doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore? Wow.
It would be so fine to see your face at my door Whoo! E turned around.
-Yep.
And look what you did today.
Caroline's voice is so unpretentious.
It's powerful and it's direct, and I think people are gonna connect with that.
Oh, you're so sweet! Next was four-chair-turn artist Ryan Quinn from westmoreland, New York, a music teacher's assistant for children who suffer from trauma.
Come down off your throne and leave your body at home somebody must change You are the reason I've been waiting so long Somebody must change but I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time and I'm wasted and I can't find my way home no I can't find my way home no, I can't find my way home and I ain't done nothing wrong well, I can't find my way home Whoo! Whew.
Man, you are one of those voices that needs to be heard worldwide.
It sounds like you can do just about anything.
What is it that you want to do? I really love the greats like Sam Cooke, Stevie wonder, and Jeff Buckley.
I love Jeff Buckley.
To me, like, all that stuff.
We all do.
Every single song.
We all love Jeff Buckley.
You were hitting notes so high, my eyeballs would have been hanging out of my head Trying to hit those notes, and you barely bend over like "Aaaah!" Whatever.
Thank you.
I'm a dude with a high voice.
And when you got me going like, "damn, that's really high," I can assure you that's really high.
I'm jealous of your tone, 'cause it's extremely round.
And it's really, really beautiful.
I pick Adam.
Oh! Get over here.
Unh! I think that Ryan will go very far on this show.
He's got probably better range than I do.
Thank you.
Thank you.
He's one of my best.
-So sorry.
-Did you come here to break my heart, Ryan? I'm definitely bummed that I didn't get him.
If Adam drops the ball, maybe I'll scoop up Ryan.
Celebrate me! That's so him! That's so him! "Celebrate me!" Adam's team is almost complete, and he is looking for someone very special.
Whoo! One spot left holding out for something brilliant.
All I've ever looked for from the first season of this show is to be inspired.
Waiting for greatness.
Yes! You know, at this point, I'm getting a little bit worried about Adam's team.
I mean, he's picking up some good artists.
Whoo! Come on! And he does this to me every year.
He has me sweating it out.
I can't wait for this.
Now let's take a sneak peak at team Adam as they prepare for next week's battles with the help of best new artist grammy nominee Tori Kelly.
Welcome to our world.
Thank you so much.
I brought in Ms.
Tori Kelly to be my advisor.
She's an incredible singer.
She was just nominated for best new artist.
She's the real deal, and you don't see the real deal that often anymore.
I'm really happy to see you.
But now you're 10 times more nervous? -Thank you.
-Mm.
I've been a fan of "the voice" since the first season, and I just remember being excited that there was a show that just literally focused on the vocal ability of a person.
So, I got good news and bad news.
You're singing a Tori Kelly song.
Bad news is, you're singing a Tori Kelly song.
'Cause I-I-I-I-I'm fragile I think it was the walk-up, the 'Cause I-I-I-I-I you kind of broke, and I think you could do the whole thing in a really strong "falsetto," or mix.
'Cause I'm hollow I'm hollow, oh, oh, oh Natalie, you think a lot.
I don't know where to go with the song.
For me, like, I wrote it about me singing to God.
I'm just crying out, like, "this is bigger than myself right now, and I'm just gonna let go.
" When Tori explained the meaning of the song, that was one of the most freeing parts of that rehearsal.
Hollow yeah, I'm hollow, oh, oh, oh 'caushollow, togetohhhh hollow yeah! It's those honky tonk women laith, I know you were kind of focusing on your guitar a lot in the beginning, but just make sure you come in with the harmony right away.
It just kind of sounded unsure.
Okay.
Matt, I want to hear you sing a little more.
I think that you're gonna have to probably dig a little more here vocally.
She blew my nose, and then she blew my mind if you don't like that, you're an idiot.
She blew my nose, and then she blew my mind oh, yeah how about that? Man, that was so good, you guys.
That was so good.
Coming up, Christina is back.
When I'm here, you don't run the show, Blake.
She's right about that.
Greatest moment of the show's history, right there! And later, Christina brings in another diva to help advise her team.
Patti LaBelle is here! -Oh, my God! -Hi, ladies! You got to have soul.
You got to put your foot on this, or don't sing it at all.
This is "the voice" .
Welcome back to the best of the blind auditions.
Tonight, we're taking you behind the scenes with our coaches and revealing what they were really thinking when they crafted their teams.
After a year away, the original queen of "the voice" is back.
Welcome back, Christina! Whoo! Christina aguilera is ready to be the first female coach to win.
Is it a-a-a-a-all right now? I'm super pumped to be back.
I'm ready to unleash that inner fire.
10 seasons in.
This journey has been tremendous.
When I'm here, you don't run the show, Blake.
She's right about that.
But I love you.
I'm threatened by team Christina this year.
She's got a lot of four-chair turns.
She's got a great team.
She's definitely the team to beat this year.
-I still love you.
-Oh, yeah.
-See, I'm nice.
-I love you, too.
-I don't make insults like -I love you, too.
Now get away from me.

Alisan, with a voice like that, how did you guys ignore the signs that this is what you're supposed to have been doing all your life? Honestly, I was going through a hard time in life, and then I-I actually got sober.

I'm looking for something that really moves me.
Thank you to everybody that said "Christina" in the audience.
Team Christina I think she's got potentially the winner on her team.
And I think that she's got just a lot of really talented singers.
Congratulations.
A girl won "the voice.
" Hey, I hope so.
But before any of Christina's artists can advance in the competition, they'll face off in next week's battles.
Here's a sneak peak at Christina preparing her team with the help from legendary artist Patti LaBelle.
Patti LaBelle is here! Hey, darling.
I am so honored and excited you're here.
I was lucky enough to get Patti LaBelle to come help me advise my team.
She's a multi-grammy-award winner.
50 million-plus records sold.
-Oh, my God! -Ladies! Look who's here.
Oh, my gosh.
My advisor, it's Okay, I'm trying not to cry.
It's Patti LaBelle right in front of me with just pure wisdom.
She said, "hello.
Hey, Joe.
" You wanna give it a go? Tamar, it's so fun for me doing this song, 'cause I get into a character, you know? When she's like, "hello.
Hey, Joe.
" "You wanna give it a go?" -Yeah.
-You got to have soul.

-That was so much fun.
-Mm-hmm.
We haven't done that since the grammys.
I know.
This is a ma-a-a-n's world Wouldn't be nothing I'm really happy with what you're doing.
The only thing If you want to add a little falsetto at the end, like, whenever you guys are going back and forth with the This is a man's, man's Oooh! And then bring it back at the end again.
It's really refreshing, I think.
Okay.
Ma-a-a-a-n's world but it wouldn't be nothing yes! Ohhh ohhh this is just toe-to-toe greatness.
I've been for a walk on a winter's day my only criticism was winter.
Yes, "winner" I said winner.
You said "winner day.
" It's like "win-ter's day.
" Yes.
On a winter's day I went for a walk on a winter's day, yeah Coming up next, all-new footage of our coaches.
There should be all these little explosions and Welcome back.
Now that you are up to speed on our coaches' teams, let's take an exclusive look at never-before-seen footage of our coaches.
This is "the ice" do, do, do, do Christina's so rich that she sucks on precious gems instead of jolly ranchers.
That was his joke since season 1.
-Diamonds.
-I'd suck on ricolas, he'd be like, "what are you sucking on? Rubies?" Sucks on rubies, diamonds.
After 10 seasons on this show, the chemistry that has been established between all of us is so special.
You should do a "just for men" ad.
That's not a bad idea.
I get stressed out on "the voice," here's what I do.
-Mm-hmm.
Got to keep that gray blend a couple years longer.
Now, how great would it be on my commercial if I went, "you got gray hair?" "Y'all got gray hair?" After spending so much time together, we really have become one gigantic family.
I'm probably gonna get in trouble.
Why you gonna get in trouble? My pants areee-through.
Whoo.
A family that really loves to "pester" each other.
What are you doing now? What are you doing now? What are you doing now? What are you doing now? What are you doing then? What are you doing now? What are you doing tomorrow? What are you doing later? What are you doing -Ohh.
-Ohh.
I've never seen them laugh so hard.
Ohh.
-Um -Oh, you're still doing yours? Okay, cool.
Oh! What are we doing right now? Waiting for you to shut up and sit down.
I'm ready.
Now you got to go to makeup! Now you got to go to makeup.
We're gonna I'm finishing this just like this.
You know, the silliness and ridiculousness of the coaches this year have hit an all-time high.
Ooh! Ma, ha, ha, ha.
There should be all these little explosions and Who cares? Blake, Blake, Blake, Blake.
Pants him.
I can't get 'em.
They're on too good.
They're on too good.
Do not put that on the show.
Next Monday, it's a can't-miss episode of "the voice.
" The blind auditions come to an electrifying end.
Adam, Blake, and Christina each have one open spot, while pharrell has two.
Not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider It's the artists' last chance to land a coveted spot on season 10 of "the voice" Ohhhhh And our coaches will do whatever it takes to get the best artists to complete their teams I fully expect to see some claws come out on this one.
Can you please shut your mouth? Now you have to put on your chess-playing hat.
I really want you to think about this.
I got one spot left.
One.
I've been holding out till something spectacular happened, and you were my dream come true! Because immediately following the blind auditions, the battles begin.
It's a ma-a-a-a-n's world the artists will have to deliver But it wouldn't be nothing, no, no because only the best of the best will move on.
Yes! Whew.
Damn.
I'm impressed by that.
This is just toe-to-toe greatness.
Absolutely incredible.
For sure.
You guys are getting stolen.
And one push of the button could change everything.
-We've got a steal! -Whoo! Aah! Yes! -Whoo! Yes.
