Whew.
Man, I'm excited.

I think we're doing
pretty good so far.

We're killing it.
We're practically
veterans at this point.

Yeah, I guess.

Where is the stage?

Where are they?

Gotta be this way.
None of this looks familiar
to me.

Man: Okay, here we go.
[ Cheers and applause ]

All right, let's get things
going. Give it up...

Wait a minute. Is that Carson
introducing us?

...this season,
Chance the Rapper
and Niall Horan!

[ Crickets chirping ]

They in the right
sound stage?

The voice is coming
from everywhere.

All right, guys,
let's try that again.

Carson!

**

It's around here.

All right,
"You are here."

I don't even know
where here is.

**

These are long hallways.

[ Beeping ]

[ Snoring ]

Niall: What?

No wonder
it's his last season.

**

[ Beeping ]

Oh.
Oh. Kelly.

Can't find the stage?

[ Scoffs ]

No.
No, we can't.

Okay. Follow me.
[ Chuckles ]

Give it up
for our Season 23 coaches --

Niall Horan!

Kelly Clarkson!

Chance the Rapper!

And Blake Shelton!

[ Cheers and applause ]

**

I'm so excited
to press my button.

Oh, it's on.
I'm ready.

Man: Our first artist
is entering now.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Tabon: * Ohhh *
Izzy and Jej:
* Say baby, say baby, say baby *

* What you doin'? *
* What you doin'? *

* Where you at? *
* Where you at? *

* Oh, you got plans *
* You got plans *

* Don't say that *
* Shut yo' trap *

Tabon:
* We should be dancing *

* Romancing *

* In the east wing *

* And the west wing *

* Of this mansion *

* What's happenin'? *

Izzy: * I ain't playin' no
games, every word that I say *

That's three people.
* Is coming straight
from the heart *

Together: * So if you tryna
lay in these arms *

Jej: * I'ma leave
the door open *

Izzy and Tabon:
* I'ma leave the door open *

* I'ma leave
the door open, girl *

* I'ma leave
the door open, hopin' *

* That you feel
the way I feel *

* And you want me like
I want you tonight *

* Tell me that

* Ahh *
* Ahhh *

God.
* That you feel
the way I feel *

* And you want me like *

* I want you, baby *

* Tell me that
you're coming through *

Yeah!

[ Cheers and applause ]

[ Laughs ]

* Tell me that
you're coming *

* Through *

I gotta do it.

[ Cheers and applause ]

I gotta do it.
I gotta do it. I gotta do it.

**

Oh, my gosh.

Oh, my God.

Hello.

This is crazy.

Oh!

Hello.

Jej, what the hell?

We're Sheer Element.

That's way better
than Periodic Table.

[ Laughter ]
It is.

You're -- What is happening
right now?

What's going on here?

He's Team Kelly
on another season.

He is incredible.
That is insane.
Wow.

I miss you.

* Passin' up on my old ways *

* I can't blame you *

* No *

I love you.

Jej: Back in 2019,
I auditioned.

And it was just such a humbling,
surreal experience.

As a singer, I learned
a lot of new techniques,

and I made it
through the top 13.

After the show, Kelly Clarkson
asked me to sing a duet

with her in Las Vegas.

It was such a dope,

once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity

until
we formed this group.

They were actually there with me
for my audition.

Izzy:
We all went to the University
of Southern California.

We were in a singing group
together.

Tabon: A couple of our videos
have went viral.

And then we got, like,
really serious about it.

I just love singing
with these people.

We have set up some kind of
success in our own little ways,

but help from someone
like Kelly,

Chance the Rapper,
or Niall,

that's gonna elevate us
to another level.

And he's cute, too.

[ Laughter ]

Jej: I don't think anyone
has ever been back here

that's been on the show
before.

So to be the first person
to be back with my best friends,

I'm just so excited to share
this experience again with them.

* This is "The Voice" *

Kelly: Wow.

Well,
I gotta be honest.

I know Chance went first.

We were all
trying to figure out

how many parts
are in this?

We were trying to figure out, is
it like four-part harmony?

Three part?
We couldn't figure it out.

I was like, "Chance, point at
your hat if it's a three-part."

[ Laughter ]

They were all asking me
if there's three people,

and I was like,
"I don't know how many people."

But the reason I turned
is 'cause it made me feel.

When you hear part harmonies
done to that standard

and it makes you feel
deep down there

in a massive hit song
like that,

I would like it
if you would come with me.

[ Laughs ]
Thank you.

I didn't expect it to be
three of you guys.

Sounded like 10.

Yeah, I didn't know
what was going on.

I had no idea
until I turned around

that it was the three
of you guys on stage.

I can tell you guys have done
this together for a while

'cause it sounds...so tight.
Tight.

As an overall presentation,
it was just insane.

I was never in a band,

but obviously I know a lot
about threes.

[ Laughter ]

I've also produced music
for a few different groups,

and I think I could see exactly
where you guys could go

with your style,
with your aesthetic,

and with the three of you guys
as a group.

So if you want to win,
come get down with Team Chance.

All right.

[ Cheers and applause ]

It was so good.

And when I turned around
and saw Jej,

I was like,
"Wait, what?"

You're incredible.
I already love Jej's voice.

I just think you're
so incredibly tight

and you know your vibe.
You're not picking a coach,

really, to teach you
anything about that.

You're picking a coach
for song selection,

and that's really key.

I can get more jackets.

[ Laughter ]

And, Jej,
you can have another one.

I've been in a group.

That's true.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Did y'all sing
harmonies together and
things in that group?

Yes, sir, that was --
You did.

Yeah.
Wow.

Interesting.
Yeah.

It's probably harder
to choose songs

that are perfect for,
you know, that blend and that --

Not for me, Blake.
Not for me.
Oh, really? Really?

My favorite acts
of all time

are the Eagles,
Fleetwood Mac, Boyz II Men.

You're young for Bo--
That was nice.

Okay. All right.

Old head, young shoulders,
Kelly.

[ Laughter ]

I feel that we could work
very well together.

I just want to remind you guys
that they did not turn around,

like, super fast at all.

I think all of you guys
are gonna be

great
as individual singers,

'cause you can hear each one of
you guys' tones coming through,

even with the harmonies.

And the right song choice
is gonna really show

how strong you guys
are as a unit.

Thank you.

You guys need to huddle
up, or you already know
what you're gonna do?

Yeah, we have to --
No, we have to --
Definitely have to.

We have to huddle.

[ Audience shouting ]

**

Okay. I think we're gonna
have to go with...

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly:
Welcome back to "The Voice."

[ Audience shouting ]

**

I think we're gonna have
to go with

someone that has a history.

Just spoke to us.
This is really hard.

Oh!

So we choose...

Together: Kelly.

Oh, my God!

I tota--
Oh, my God!

I love you, Jej.
Oh, my God.

Sheer Element
sounded incredible.

The harmonies were so tight.

I thought you were
gonna pick --

'cause you said history,
like, the boy band,

like, the singing together.

Oh, my God.
I was like, "Aw, damn."

I know what Jej is capable of.

That dude is
an incredible singer.

This is the first time ever
that an artist has come back

on the show with a group,
and I have taken a group to win.

I'm really excited about this.

[ Cheers and applause ]

[ Laughs ]

I'm calling my agent.

Kelly is
my biggest competition here.

We have very similar taste
in singers and music.

That was a tough loss.

I gotta
be honest with you.

It would have broken my heart
if I would have turned around

and Jej was there
and I didn't turn.

This is my back pocket.

I've got a Block in there
that I'm about to use.

You get ready.

[ Sobs ]

Woman:
It's okay, Niall.

I can see we're taking
a season off

has really
re-energized Kelly,

but it's time to remind her
that this is my show.

There should be one button.

"Block Kelly."

Oh, my gosh.

Carlos: For my blind audition,
I will be singing

"Change the World"
by Eric Clapton.

This song is very special to me

because I'm dedicating this song
to my wife.

She has given everything to see
this dream come true for me.

So I'm giving it all I got.

My name is Carlos Rising.

To be here at "The Voice,"
it feels surreal.

I remember
watching Kelly Clarkson.

I always thought
she was beautiful.

She was one of my first
childhood crushes.

And I remember being like,

"I'm gonna marry Kelly Clarkson
one day." [ Laughs ]

I moved on from Kelly.

While I was in college,
I was able to travel to Europe.

And it was that fortune moment
that I was able to meet my wife.

It was love at first sight.

And six months later,
I asked her to marry me.

My wife is from Germany.

And so when we got married,
she uprooted her entire life.

And she moved here
because I wanted to do music.

Just planting
our new garden over here.

She's just been the greatest
source of joy in my life.

[ Laughter ]

And I just love her
with all my heart.

I'm very blessed of having him
in our house,

singing and hearing his voice
all the time.

Sometimes I can't believe that,
like, I'm married to him

because
his voice is just so beautiful

and I'm so glad that he can do
what he can do here.

I do music full-time now.

I really had to learn
the art of the hustle.

You know,
there were a lot of nights

where I wanted to give up.

Me and my wife have worked
really hard for this moment.

But I'm eternally grateful
for her

and for her sacrifice.

For a chair to turn for me,

it would just be
an instant sign

that all this hard work
had paid off.

**

Ooh, good song.

* If I could reach the stars *

Pretty.
Ooh.

* Pull one down for you *

* Shine it on my heart *

* So you could see the truth *
All right! You got it!

* That this love I have inside *

* Is everything it seems *

* But for now I find *

* It's only in my dreams *

* That I could *

* Change the world *

* And I would be the sunlight
in your universe *

* And you would think
my love was really *

* Something good *

* Baby, if I could *

* Change the world *

* Baby, if I could *

* Change the world *

* Baby, if I could *

* Change *
Come on.

This guy's going
up, down.

* The world *

* Yeah, yeah *

**

[ Cheers and applause ]

Kelly at
the last second.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Chance: Man. Amazing.
What is your name?

Where are you from?
How old are you?

My name is Carlos Rising.

I'm 28 years old and I am
from Wilmington, North Carolina.

My family lives
in North Carolina.

I thought
they lived in Texas.

No, no.
Then I thought you lived
in Nashville.

Now you're out here.
I thought you were in Montana.

I --
Where do you live, Kelly?
Where do you live, Kelly?

I live wherever I want,
Blake.

Ooh.

It's a beautiful country.

You should get out of
Oklahoma once.

[ Laughter ]

Are you guys good?
No.

No?
No, we're not good.

But go ahead.

I think your voice sounds like
it would do

really well with R&B.

You kind of got, like,
this Jamiroquai vibe

to your tone.
Yeah. Big time.

Ooh, I like Jamiroquai.
Chance: It's really awesome.

So I'm glad
that you're on the show.

Welcome to "The Voice,"
man.

Carlos: Thank you.

Hi, Carlos.

So it took me a minute
to turn around, and I'll
be honest with you,

I love that song so much,
and it was really beautiful.

And I kept waiting
for you to climb.

I kept waiting for a little bit
more dynamics.

I think that you
have that in you.

And that's why at
the last second I was like,

"This is like my job to, like,
find that in the artists

I'm working with and, like,
really push them to grow."

So I hit my button
'cause I thought

that you have what it takes
to be on this show.

Thank you. [ Chuckles ]

Niall:
Your voice is insane.

It's got a real rasp to it
that's like controlled rasp.

It reminded me of
James Morrison.

Oh, yeah.

That's Old Man Morrison's son.
Is it?

Yep, yep.
Ohh.

Such a liar.

That was
such a beautiful tone.

And I'm excited to see
what he can do, Blakey boy.

Well, I love that song,
but I had a feeling

that you were
probably playing guitar

just because of how
in the pocket you were.

And watching you play,

that's definitely an extension
of your artistry.

When I first moved to Nashville,
it was just me and my guitar,

and when I see someone like you
up there performing,

that's what
gets me excited.

Somebody that I've never heard
anything like before.

I'd be damn proud to have you
on my last team on "The Voice."

Thank you, thank you.
[ Cheers and applause ]

So, Carlos, who do you choose
as your coach?

Come on, Carlos.
Come on.

[ Audience shouting ]

Come on, Carlos.

**

Carlos:
I love you all so much.

I'm gonna go with Team Blake
on this one.

All right!

**

Good fit.
Yes!

Blake: Carlos is
incredibly talented.

He didn't sound like
Eric Clapton doing that song.

He sounded like Carlos.

And that's what
I loved about it.

Got a little parting gift
for you.

I don't have anybody
that's like

that cool singer-songwriter
guitar player.

He fits in perfectly
on my team.

Nice work.
Hello, honey.

Good job.

You -- You suck.

You're gonna be on the very last
Blake Shelton team

in the history
of "The Voice."
Yeah. I know.

I'm blessed.
I have no words.

Well, congratulations.

Daly: Still to come...

* I've looked at clouds *

* From both sides now **

* Sara, smile *

**

Daly: ...Niall gets revenge.

Oh, no!

Ha-ha!

[ Laughter ]

Where's my lawyer?

And later,
a celebrity guest

has the wildest
blind audition ever.

Oh!

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back
to the blind auditions.

[ Cheers and applause ]

**

All right,
so I wanted to do

something special
for the guys, the newbies,

Chance and Niall.

Nice to meet you,
too.

Thank you.

But I also wanted to do
something special

because
it's Blake's last season.

And mic.

And we're rolling
on Blake.

So I decorated the hallways

'cause twinkly lights
make everything cooler.

And we got disco balls.
I also put ribbons on our doors.

I somehow ended up
in first place,

and somehow -- there were
only four people --

he still got sixth.

I don't know.
That's God's plan, I guess.

Even Carson beat Blake.

He's not even a coach.

Way to go, Carson.

All right, Team Kelly, y'all.

This is crazy.
[ Laughs ]

So cool.

Never been to Los Angeles.

So stepping off the plane
was a little crazy.

There were mountains,
palm trees.

I was like,
"We're not in Kansas anymore."

[ Laughs ]

My name is Alex Graham.

I'm from Belmont,
North Carolina,

but I've lived in Nashville,
Tennessee,

for a little over a year now.

I've been singing
about six years.

Around 18,
I graduated high school

and there was a local restaurant
looking for singing servers,

and it was owned
by the Jonas Brothers' parents.

The dad of the Jonas Brothers
was like,

"I think you have potential.
We're gonna hire you."

So you would go in,
open the shift,

you were grabbing bread
for the people, getting drinks,

cleaning the tables,
singing, sweeping,

grabbing the highchairs
for the kid.

Pretty much you had
to do everything plus sing.

[ Laughs ]

While I was still working
at the restaurant,

I would play gigs,
just me and my guitar.

And I did that
for a couple years.

And I was just like,

"I want to move to Nashville
to pursue this full-time."

And now I'm gigging
four or five days a week,

and I think it's really
prepped me for this moment.

Man: Ladies and gentlemen, our
next artist is entering now.

Alex: I definitely think getting
chair turns would give me

the validation that I need
to stay in Nashville

and pursue the artist thing
full-time.

"The Voice" would give me
the platform that I need

to continue to do this
for the rest of my life.

Come on, Alex. Come on.
You got it, baby.

You got this, baby.

**

* I was out with the boys,
catchin' up at a neon light *

Here's your
country artist now.

* Didn't know
till we walked in *

* It was karaoke night *

* She was in a circle of girls,
chasin' a shot with a lime *

Come on, come on.
* She was laughin',
they were darin' her *

* To get on the mic *

* One of 'em walked up *

* And turned in her name *

* Next thing I knew, yeah *

* She was up on the stage,
singin' *

* "Heads Carolina,
tails California" *

* Maybe she'd fall for *

* A boy from South Georgia *

* She's got the bar *

* In the palm of her hand *

* She's a '90s country fan *

* Like I am *

* Hey, I got a Chevy *

* She can flip a quarter *

* I'd drive her anywhere *

* From here to California *

* When this song is over *

* I gotta find her *

* She had me at *

* "Heads Carolina" *

* Oh, she had me *

* At "Heads Carolina" *

[ Cheers and applause ]

Man.

**

Whoo!
Whoo!

What's your name, man?

My name is Alex Graham,
and I'm 24 years old.

What?

Wait,
what is that song?

"She Had Me At Heads Carolina"
by Cole Swindell.

It's been number one
in country radio.

So I've been living under
a rock, and I was like,
"Did this dude just --"

But Kelly listens to
a lot of country music.

[ Laughter ]

That's wrong.

That song's fire.
I like the drawl.

I just think that's --
You have a great tone.

Thanks. Thank you so much.
I was hoping that
you'd talk like that, too.

Yup. [ Laughs ]

The reason I didn't turn was
some little pitch issues.

Probably down to nerves,
I'd imagine.

I'm just really
being picky right now

in what I feel like
I don't have on my team.

Got ya.
I was telling Niall,
I was like,

"Niall,
you've been saying

that you want a country artist
on your team."

[ Laughter ]

I'm sorry, but I guess
I wasn't persuasive enough.

That's okay.
This is unbelievable.

I can't believe I'm here.
So thank you guys so much.

Thank you for coming.
Thanks for coming out, man.

[ Cheers and applause ]

You know, Alex just had
a shaky performance today,

and unfortunately for him,
nobody turned their chair.

Good to meet you,
Alex.
Appreciate it.

We only get 10 people
on our teams this year.

You really have to think
about the fact that your team

is gonna fill up quick.

So I think we're just
all being picky.

I was saying Niall.
I kept saying Niall.

I think you must have been
saying my name wrong.

Chance: I think my definition of
a star is a little different.

I love just people
that create their own lane,

that carve out their own space
wherever they go.

And that's what I'm looking for,

is for the people
that stand out.

Magnus: I'm a very old soul.

I grew up
on Temptations, Stylistics,

music that I probably shouldn't
have been listening to.

Michael Jackson/
Earth, Wind & Fire.

That's me in a nutshell.

My name is Magnus, and I'm from
Virginia Beach, Virginia.

I grew up in
a single-parent home

with my mother and my brother.

I was a very adventurous child
until I got to middle school

when I was in choir.

My first choral teacher
opened up my eyes.

Being onstage in front of people
singing, like, I love it.

Lavalette: Once he began to sing
with the chorus,

that's when I feel like
he found his voice.

He is gonna go far,
and I'm gonna be there

to support him
every step of the way.

I'm the momager.
[ Laughs ]

After high school,
I auditioned

for Northern State University's
concert choir,

and I got a scholarship
on the spot.

After I was done with college,

I auditioned for
Pharrell Williams' gospel choir.

And then after that,
a lot of doors opened up.

The more I started to perform,
it just clicked.

"This is what you want to do."

I actually never had a solo
when I was in choir.

And that's something that
in the back of my head

always ate at me.

I want to be that person,
you know, in the limelight,

'cause that's my passion,
that's my dream.

Today I'll be singing
"Sara Smile"

by Daryl Hall and John Oates.

I have a very powerful
and soulful voice,

so I feel like
it's right up my alley.

I gotta get one person.

If I get one person today,
I'll feel good.
Yeah, me too.

Getting a chair turn
can truly change my life

because I left my job as
a middle-school chorus teacher

to pursue music full-time.

And I'm ready to be a singer
that I know that I can be.

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back.

Man: Our next artist
is entering now.

Let's do it.

Just, like, excited.
Just can't stop.

I'm gonna sit up.
Okay.

**

Ooh.

Lookit.
Chance is already into it.

* Baby hair *

* With a woman's eyes *

Oh, he already turned around!
Yes!

Let's go!

* I can feel you watching *

* In the night *

* All alone with me and *

Ooh.
* We're waiting *

* For the sunlight *

* Light *

* Light *

* When I feel cold *

* You warm me *

* And when I feel
I can't go on *

* You come and hold me *

Oh!
Come on, press the button.

* It's you *

* And me *

* Forever *

* Sara, smile *

Come on, Blake.

* Won't you smile awhile for me,
Sara *

* Oh, Sara, smile *

* Oh, won't you smile awhile
for me, Sara *

* Sara, smile *

Don't y'all turn around.

Do not turn around.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Whoo!

That was really good.

What's your name?
What's your age?

Where you from?

I want to know it all.
What's up?

My name is Magnus Martin.
I'm 25 years old.

And I'm from Virginia Beach,
Virginia.

[ Cheers and applause ]
Whoo!

That's crazy.
25? Did you say 25?

25.
Holy moly.

Man, oh, man.

That was good.
They did not turn around.

That's crazy.

You turned around and you
were so excited about it

that I didn't want to take that
away from you.
I don't feel bad at all.

I know.

I am so excited to win
this show with you, Magnus!

[ Cheers and applause ]

Yes, sir.
Man.

Impeccable song choice.

The pacing at which
you attacked the song,

for a while I was like, "Man,
these runs are going crazy.

Like,
what's his high register?

Like, what's he gonna sound
like when he goes up there?"

And then you just smacked
that note at the end.

Thank you.

Smack it.

I mean, I already won
the whole show, basically.

[ Laughter ]

Your voice is incredible.

Low stuff,
stuff up the end,

the way you ramped the song up
was -- was pretty incredible.

But the minute
Chance turned,

I'd smell his excitement
off him.

I feel pretty good,
yes.

Hey, Magnus,
your performance got better

and better
as it -- as it went along.

Yeah.
I'm real happy
for Chance.

This is gonna be great.

It's gonna be a lot of fun
to watch, man.

Thank you.

Hey, man, I see you've got
your own hat,

but I'ma give this
to you to take home, bro.

Hey, that's fine. Thank you.
Welcome to Team Chance!

* You stick out in the crowd *

My dawg Magnus.

My boy Magnus is the true.

I'll meet your mom.
I got to go check it out.

Yo, this is crazy.

Yes!

You got it.
The whole thing is sewed up.

He's got, like,
a very soulful,

churchy voice
that's kind of got, like,

a nostalgic feel to it.

Welcome to Team Chance.

Yes.
Daly: You stole one, Coach.

That sounded so good.
Hey, man, I'm ready to work.

From the first moment
he was there,

I had him pegged as a person

that might win
this whole competition.

[ Laughs ]

It's so crazy.

Chance is a producer
and a songwriter.

His ear for talent
is just unbelievable.

Chance:
I feel really good.

If I get that excited,
don't come near me.

I like singers that sing
with character

and really make people
feel something.

And I'm waiting
for that one voice

that pierces me right in there.

Daly: Still to come...

We have an artist backstage
preparing

for the biggest performance
of their entire life.

You're not gonna
want to miss this.

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back to
the blind auditions

at Universal Studios Hollywood.

This is what Blake did
all day yesterday.

[ As Blake ]
"This is my last season..."
[ Laughs ]

"...and I would be honored

to have you in the last
ever Team Blake."

That's pretty good accent.
Blake Shelton.

[ Normal voice ]
What'd you think?
That was Blake Shelton.

I think you nailed it.

I'd be honored for you
to be on the last Team Blake.

Well, I still have
a Block.

Kelly: You have a Block?
Oh, you do?

And I plan on using it
very aggressively.

I couldn't use mine
fast enough.

Blake blocked me.

There is no proof
that I blocked her.

There's proof.

Who did you use it on?

I used it on --

Oh!
Wow.

That was amazing!

Oh, my God.
This is an intervention.

In the history of "The Voice,"
you have never owned that.

He just got you.

This is my son.
My son is --

I feel like
we should celebrate.
You're good, you know?

Like, there should be
some form of tequila.

No one
has ever broken me.

Come on, son.
Let's go get 'em.

Let's go, Dad.
Go get 'em, tiger.

Let's go get 'em, Dad.

**

I'm freaking out.
[ Laughs ]

My name is Kala Banham.

If someone is confused
about my name,

I'll usually say it's "koala"
without the "O."

Kala. Easy.

So when I was growing up,
music was all around me.

My mom is from the Philippines.

And it's
a Filipino culture,

when kids perform
in front of the oldies,

they throw money.

So at a young age,
she would,

"Hey, I want to sing.
I want to sing."

Expecting
that the old --

the grandparents were
throwing money for her, so...

In college, I was a part of
a competitive a cappella group

called Gestalt.

Hey. Happy Friday.

Now I'm working
at a public relations agency,

specifically
with music clients.

This is what my workday
looks like a lot of the time.

It's been really difficult
to carve out time for music.

The last time I performed
was back

when I was in
my a cappella group,

and that's a little bit scary.

But having this opportunity
feels amazing.

I would feel honored to work
with any of the coaches,

but Kelly Clarkson is a dream.

Oh, my gosh. Don't.

Are you serious?

Oh, I love her.

[ Laughter ]

Me too.
She's so talented.

Kala:
For the blind audition,

I will be singing
"Both Sides Now"

by Joni Mitchell.

Life is constantly changing.

There is no better song that
captures how I feel about life

in this moment right now.

The lyrics really allow me
to just be vulnerable

because all I have to connect
with these coaches

is my voice and the lyrics.

I didn't think that being
a full-time musician

was attainable for me,
but this is my passion.

[ Sighs ]

So I'm gonna go out there

and I'm gonna give it
my best shot.

And the fact that I'm about
to give my everything in front

of these four incredible coaches
is so exciting.

There's our girl.

**

* Rows and flows of angel hair *

* And ice cream castles
in the air *

* And feather canyons
everywhere *

* I looked at clouds that way *

Wow, she's cool.

* But now they only
block the sun *

* They rain
and they snow on everyone *

* So many things
I would have done *

* But clouds got in my way *

* I've looked at clouds
from both sides now *

* From up and down *

Oh, no!

* And still somehow *

* It's cloud illusions *
Oh, my gosh.

Oh, my gosh.

* I recall *

* I really don't know clouds *

* I've looked at life
from both sides now *

* From win and lose,
and still somehow *

* Life's illusions I recall *

Oh!
* I really don't know life *

* I really don't know life *

Blake.

* At all *

What are you doing?

What?

Oh, yay, Kala!

[ Cheers and applause ]

Whoa!

**

Makes me so sad.

Did you just hear that?

Oh, my goodness.
Ha-ha.

You are so good.
What is your name?

My name is Kala Banham.

I am 24 years old, and I am from
Windermere, Florida.

What a perfect song.
You showed dynamics.

Just seeing you
emote like that,

you really felt the message and
the words mean something to you.

We would have been
beautiful together.

[ Laughter ]
I'm gonna steal you.

Mark my words.

Oh, my goodness.

You will be wearing this jacket
at some point

in the competition,
I promise you.

[ Cheers and applause ]

But you could also wear
this hoodie.

Ooh. Okay.

That song choice,
first of all, impeccable.

Thank you.
You did such
a beautiful job on it.

So brittle and so tender
in the soft moments.

And I haven't got a singer
like you on my team.

I can't stand you,
Ireland.

Oh, my God.

I'm honored that
you used your Block on me.

I --
Yeah.

You got one of these.
Don't be honored.

Kala,
you get one Block,

and I chose
to use it with you.

You are unbelievable.

You've got, like,
such a storytelling voice.

So sweet, so beautiful.

And the song choices that are
available for you, it's huge.

I wanted to choose a song

that I knew
I was telling a story.

And I'm really happy that I was
able to convey it to you.

Oh, my God.

I just want to go grab a guitar
and write a song with you

because you exude that, like --
that feeling.

I'm feeling something,
Niall.

[ Laughter ]
Those are fighting words.

This is
my first season here.
Yeah.

In the great words
of Blake Shelton,

"It's my last."
I'm joking.

And I would love you to be
on the first ever Team Niall.

Thank you, Niall.
Thank you.

Blah, blah, blah.

[ Laughter ]

First, I just wanted
to just learn

a little bit
more about you.

Like, when did you
get into music?

I've been singing since
I could pretty much talk.

And then I went to
a performing arts school,

did collegiate a cappella,
everything.

So...
Wow.

[ Laughter ]

Where's my lawyer?

You just have
the most unique voice

that we've heard so far.
Thank you.

And coupled with
the most control and range,

I don't have anybody like you
on my team at all.

Are you at all familiar
with Joanna Newsom?

Totally.
I would love to hear you
sing some Joanna Newsom.

I would love to bring
you some options

that maybe the other coaches
may not be as familiar with.

Wow.
And -- That's not a shot.

No, it's just impressive.
I'm saying it's impressive.

Oh, yeah.
Yeah.

Thanks, man.
[ Laughter ]

What I think is impressive
about Chance

is he doesn't steal opportunity
away from people.

You're gonna do amazing
in this competition.

You should take this time to
just, like, relish in the fact

that you're on "The Voice."
Welcome to "The Voice."

Thank you.
[ Cheers and applause ]

And yeah,
if you want to win,

obviously get down with
Team Chance.

No, no, no, no, no.

I'm sure I'm about to receive
some shrapnel from this area,

but I've never heard
that song before.

What?
And --

Huh?
See? There it is.

There's bullets.

And -- And so I was looking down
the line here,

and you guys were, like,
singing every word of the song.

I must not have seen the movie
that that song is in

or whatever.
Actually, it is
in "Love Actually."

It is, yeah.

I just thought
if they're that familiar

with just
your song selection,

these are the coaches you need
to be choosing from,

so you're gonna have
to take your Chancehere.

[ Laughter ]

What are you doing?!

I see
what you did there.

How many times
have you made that joke, Blake?

That's the first time.
I've been saving that one.

Really? Oh.
Yeah, so...

He's blowing me away
right now, though.

Thanks, man.

[ Cheers and applause ]

So I don't have
a dog in the house,

but who do you pick
as your coach?

[ Audience shouting ]

Your heart.
Your heart.

**

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back
to "The Voice."

Who do you pick
as your coach?

[ Audience shouting ]

**

I'm gonna have to go
with Niall.

Yes!
Come on!

* If you like to do whatever
you've been dreaming about *

* Then, baby, you're perfect *

Great job. Great job.

Hi. Thank you.

Can I get a hug?
Oh, my gosh.
Hello.

Niall: Team Niall
is shaping up so well.

Kala is the best addition
I can hope for.

I'm always looking for someone
with a story to tell.

And Kala
is the perfect example of that.

We're big fans, and we loved
everything you said about her

was just so compelling. We knew
she was gonna pick you.

Oh, I think if I hadn't blocked
Clarkson, she was on --

Yes, Kelly.
Oh, my gosh.

See, that's how you
use a Block.

I blocked Kelly 'cause I knew
she wanted Kala,

and I let her hand get about
this far above her red button.

And I just got her.

Oh, no!
Perfectly timed block.

Take that one, Kelly Clarkson.

**

Yeah!

[ Cheers and applause ]

Kelly:
I feel attacked by Niall.

I feel like he's coming for me,
but it's fine.

Yes!
Maybe it's a compliment
that Niall blocked me.

He's threatened.
I see you.

Whoo!
Oh, my God.

[ Laughter ]

Oh, my God,
there's, like, another one.

This is so fun.

I can't fight
One Direction.

I'm proud of you,
son.

Thanks, Pops.
You made me proud.

[ Laughter ]

All right, we have a special
surprise for our coaches.

Right now,
we have an artist backstage

preparing for
the biggest performance

of their entire life.

We're not gonna
want to miss this.

**

Man: Ladies and gentlemen, our
next artist is entering now.

**

[ Cheers and applause ]

* I keep forgettin'
we're not in love anymore *

* I keep forgettin' things
will never be the same again *

* I keep forgettin'
how you made that so clear *

* I keep forgettin' *

* Every time you're near *

* Every time I see *

He's no good.

* Your smile *

**

* Hear your "hello" *

* Saying you can only
stay a while *

Aah!

Sing it.

* I keep forgettin' *

Awful.

* Not in love anymore *

* I keep forgettin' things will
never be the same again *

* I keep forgettin'
how you made that so clear *

* I keep forgettin', babe *

* Keep forgettin' how *

Yeah!

[ Cheers and applause ]

What's up, man?

Hello, you.

Thank you, thank you,
thank you.

I knew.

You can't do that.

Come on. Hey.

I had to. Did you know?

You broke the rules.

Hi, everybody.
I love you.

[ Cheers and applause ]

I'm across the parking lot
doing our show,

"That's My Jam,"
and I texted Carson.

I said I got to come over
and say hey, buddy.

23 seasons. Congratulations.
You're a legend.

Thank you, buddy.
[ Cheers and applause ]

No, I had to do it.
Congratulations.

[ Laughs ]

Blake: I was like,
"I know what's going on.

No way
I'm hitting my button."

Yeah, you know, exactly.
Good to see you, brother.

I knew it was you
straight away.

You did?
You knew it was me?
100%

I thought you
were Michael McDonald.

I turned first.
You're on my team.

Yeah, yeah,
I'm on Kelly's team.

I'm on Kelly's team
right there.

Thank you for turning around.
You're welcome.

The thing I like about
Michael McDonald

is I don't have to memorize
any of the words.

* Same again *

* I keep forgettin' *

[ Mumbling ]

[ Laughter ]

* Since you been gone *

[ Mumbling ]

I can do all the songs.

I'll see you guys soon.
I'll see you on the show.

I'll see you in a sec, Jimmy.
You're the best.

See you, buddy.
Bye, guys.

* Keep forgettin'
we're not in love anymore *

Blake: It didn't take me long
to figure out

that it was Jimmy Fallon,

and there was no way
I was gonna hit my button.

He does not deserve a chair turn
on this show.

Jimmy's impersonation
is the equivalent

of walking
up to Michael McDonald

and slapping him in the face
as hard as you can.

[ Mumbling ]

I like Jimmy
with a beard.

Yeah, he looks good,
doesn't he?

I was like,
"All right, Jimmy."

He looked like
a young Niall Horan.

I thought it was the real
Michael McDonald. [ Laughs ]
