Daly: Tonight...

* I'll keep dancing on my own *

Niall.

Chance.

Daly: ...two new
superstar coaches...

The youngins are killin' it
right now!

Whoo!

...Kelly Clarkson returns...

I'm home.
She changed the locks.

Daly: ...and Blake Shelton
builds his final team.

It's the "Best of the Blinds..."

That was the best audition
we've seen here by a long shot.

"...Battles..."
Oh, my God.

We've got the most talented
people in the world

going head-to-head.

Daly: We got two steals!
There it is!

The playoff pass!

A "Voice" first!

"...and Blake."

You could be
the last person

that I will ever hit
this freakin' button for.

I was nervous I was gonna be
sad, but I'm not.

I'm just having a blast.

Whoo!

Daly:
Tonight, we'll get insight

on how our coaches
built their teams.

Oh, my God!
Please!

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

That's right in my wheelhouse.

Yes!

I am so excited to win
this show with you!

I look for, like, people to show
who they are as artists

and as vocalists and to let
their style shine through.

[ Chuckling ]
God, I just love this.

This is the last
battle rehearsal.
Wow!

Daly: And celebrate
the cowboy's historic sendoff

with a look back
at his last decade as a coach.

It has to start
with a great voice.

That's what I'm gonna miss
the most is sitting here

with a front-row seat
to some of the best concerts

that anybody
has ever seen.

That was one of them.

Daly: Plus, you won't want
to miss an exclusive performance

by our Season 23 coaches.

* I can't take my eyes
off of you *

* You'd be like Heaven
to touch *

[ Laughs ]
* And I want to hold you
so much *

* This is the Voice *

[ Cheers and applause ]

Welcome to "The Voice,

the Best of the Blinds,
Battles, and Blake."

I'm Carson Daly.

Tonight, we're giving you
another look at everything

that's led up to this point
in the competition.

But first...

This is my last season.
This is my last season.

23 seasons.
The last time I'm gonna ever get
to do this.

What?

Kelly: I don't know
if y'all have heard yet,

but it's Blake's last season.

Chance: Blake is doing
this one move

where he tells everybody
that it's his last season.

[ As Blake ]
I would be honored

if you were on my last ever
Team Blake.

[ Laughter ]

Oh, I like it when you do this
right here.

Kelly:
He seems to be milking it.

My last team.

Just a little bit.
Yep.

This is my last season.
What?

Niall is gonna be
the new king of "The Vo--"

I'm passing the baton.

Blake: Last season
was my ninth win,

and I came back one more time
to try to get that 10th win.

You pick me
as your coach,

and I will quit coaching
after this season.

[ Laughter ]

This is my last chance

to change an artist's life
for the better.

I'll say the number
and you tell me

what you think
I'm referring to.

7,200.

What would you
think that is?
That's got to be
the amount of songs

that my artists
have sang, right?

7,200 pounds of calamari
you've consumed.

[ Laughs ]

Watch your finger.

Daly: Blake has made over 500
episodes of "The Voice."

He's coached over 250 artists

and has won nine times.
Yes!

Now, let's take a look at
the last team he'll ever coach.

Blake used
his last block ever on Kelly

when his first artist,
Neil Salsich,

got a four-chair turn.

* Well, I stopped into
every place in town *

* City life has really
got me down *

* I got them honky-tonk blues *
No!

* Hey,
them honky-tonk blues *

Well, I'm bummed
'cause Blake blocked me.

I don't remember
doing it.

Kelly: Literally,
I get back Season 23

and the first moment
Blake can, he blocks me?

I think he's threatened,
folks.

Daly:
Singer/songwriter Carlos Rising
also joined Team Blake.

* If I could change the world *

Blake:
Carlos is incredibly talented,

and he was completely in sync
with the band.

I'm really excited to get
a chance to work with Carlos.

A little parting gift
for you.
Oh, thank you.

"I'm on Blake's last team...

and all I got was
this lousy shirt."

Daly: 24-year-old Nashville
bouncer Walker Wilson

muscled his way
onto Blake's team.

* But nobody taught her,
it takes a lot of water *

* To wash away New Orleans *

Good to meet you,
brother.

Daly: Blake also picked up
Tasha Jessen

who came to "The Voice"
to spread an important message.

Tasha: The reason I'm here

is just to show little girls
in Pakistan

that would look at the show
and be like, "She's Pakistani!"

Like, it's possible.

* And take me to your river *

* And I wanna go *

When I heard her voice,
I just knew I loved it.

* Take me to your river, baby *

Sogood to meet you.

I think it's better
to meet you.

Your voice
is hard to define,

which is the best thing you
could ever have going for you.

Thank you so much.

I felt the urgency
in Tasha's performance.

You could win
if you get on my team.

I'm working with some
of the biggest songwriters

and producers on the planet.

Bragger.
[ Laughter ]

Oh, you're already
taking the --

Like father,
like son, huh?

[ Cheers and applause ]

I think I pick Blake.

Yes!
All right!

Niall: Me and Blake are getting
along really well.

We've got a good
little bromance going.

But he broke my heart
when he stole Tasha from me.

And I will get him back.

I didn't see that
coming at all.

I do feel this father-son bond
with Niall.

Fighting Irish my ass.

Mostly because
he disappoints me a lot.

This is gonna be a fun
relationship to develop.

What the hell
just happened?
Ha!

Daly: Blake also added
strawberry farmer Kason Lester.

* 'Cause I try to see
the good in life *

* But good things in life
are hard to find *

Daly: And pop-soul singer
Kylee Dayne

had Blake battling it out
with our rookie coaches.

Kylee: I keep having dreams
about singing,

like, on the "Voice" stage.

I get to, like, the part
where I'm about to walk on

and it's like, you know,
when you dream

and then you're falling
and you wake up

before you hit the ground?

It's like that.

* I never gave you everything,
I wish I could *

* I should've seen it coming
from where you stood *

* But now I'm *

Blake: Kylee has tons
of character in her voice,

and she really is an original.

There's nobody else like her.

Oh!

[ Cheers and applause ]

Whoa!
[ Laughs ]

Blake: Kylee was so good,

I literally had to bring out
the giant foam finger

just to convince her.

I have to pick Blake.

Yes!

Team Blake is on
an absolute roll right now.

That's a big finger,
isn't it?

Big finger, yeah.

No, it's one of the bigger
fingers I've seen.

Daly: Still to come...
Oh, my God!

...our coaches continue
to build their teams...

Kelly.
[ Screams ]

Daly: ...and then take them
to battle...

I've had an idea.

...where, for the first time
in "Voice" history,

the all-new Playoff Pass

sends artists straight
to the playoffs...

I'm just so grateful
for just being in this moment.

[ Cheers and applause ]
Daly: Oh!

...bypassing the knockouts.

They invented it for me.

I'm using
my Playoff Pass!

[ Cheers and applause ]

There's never been
a bigger honor on "The Voice."

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly:
Welcome back to the "Best of
the Blinds, Battles, and Blake."

Do we all still
have our blocks?

Yeah.
You blocked me.

You don't have
your block anymore.

I didn't -- I don't think
that was me.

I think I still have mine.
Do you have yours?

You're so full
of it.

You used your block
for Neil.
Yeah.

I know the names of your
team members. [ Laughs ]

No, Niall. Niall said
he used his block.
[ Laughter ]

No, no, Neil is the person
on your team.

[ Laughter ]

Daly: Blake continued to build
his blinds team,

adding a 43-year-old rocker
with a unique edge.

Alex:
I worked as a tube driver

in London Underground
for 18 years.

Coming out to Hollywood
was something I dreamed about

while I was on the front
of the train.

You do know we're English,
right?

[ Laughs ]

This is -- This is torturous.
This is like the worst
thing ever.

[ Laughter ]

* And I won't try
to understand *

* Let the devil take tomorrow *

What are you doing?

I've never had a chance
to work with a country singer

from London,
and I like it, Alex.

And you've braided your beard
nicely for television.

[ Laughter ]
I mean, you just
look badass.

Blake: I would have assumed
he just came here

from a biker rally
in Deadwood or something.

This guy is business.

He came here to sing
and win "The Voice,"

and he's gonna do it his way.

That's good stuff.

* Let me in *

Daly: Blake went head-to-head
with Chance

for his next artist.

* Go easy on me, baby *

* I was still a child *

* Didn't get the chance to *

Chance: I think EJ
had great stage presence,

and I think that I could
pick the right songs for him.

I really want him
to be on my team.

My name is EJ.
I'm from Draper, Utah,

about 10 hours' drive
away from here.

Beautiful.

That's cool. I didn't know
where Utah was, directionally.

I know where Utah is.

[ Laughter ]

I'm gonna have to go
with Blake.

Yes!
Chance: But he chose Blake,

so we're excited to hear him
sing

Tim McGraw next time, I guess.

**

Daly: Next,
17-year-old Mary Kate Connor

became the youngest member
of Team Blake.

* I can't look at the stars *

Kelly:
Mary Kate is so cool, y'all.

She's gonna represent that
younger generation of country.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Yeah!
Hi!

Blake:
I feel like I'm a good coach
at working with young talent.

I choose Blake.
Yes!

Blake:
Mary Kate is the kind of artist
that I love to work with,

and I've had a lot of success
with these kind of artists.

Thank you!

Man: Ladies and gentlemen,
Niall Horan!

[ Cheers and applause ]

[ Country music plays ]

Blake:
You know, they say imitation is
the greatest form of flattery,

and when Niall came out
and was dressed as me...

I was a little freaked out.

Are those
my actual jeans,

the way you keep pulling
'em up?
Yeah, I think so.

I think --
I think they are.

Daly: Rounding out Team Blake
was Grace West.

* Maybe it was Memphis *

* Maybe it was southern
summer nights *

* Maybe it was you,
maybe it was me *

* But it sure felt right *

[ As Blake ] People of America
are gonna to love you.

I do think Niall does
a great impression of me.

I gotta say.

This is my last season.

[ Laughter ]

Niall's accent when he tries
to be Blake -- horribly awesome.

[ Chuckles ]

I think I'm gonna go
with Blake.

Yes!
That's it!

You're the last person I'm ever
pushing that for, Grace!

23 seasons,
and for the last artist

for me to hit this button for
to be a country artist

with that much potential,

I can't think
of a better ending.

For the last time --
my team is full!

[ Cheers and applause ]

That was my last
blind auditions.

It was bittersweet,

but I'm still looking forward
to my last battle rounds,

which is coming up next.

Daly: Blake's last team
was ready to compete...

Hi, Blake!
...and his 10 artists
headed into battle.

Hey! [ Laughs ]

You guys are already laughing
coming through the door.

Yeah, we're just
so excited.

Working with Blake is probably
the highlight of my life.

Walking into rehearsal and you
see the tallest guy ever,

the king of "The Voice,"
Blake.

Group team hug.
Come on.

Once you get in front of him,
you're like, "Oh, my gosh."

Grace: It is still not
fully real to me.

Yes!
Come on, come on.

This season,
the battles are really cool

'cause I got to actually work
one-on-one with each artist

to try to take 'em
to the next level.

The possibilities for you
to be way beyond this show,

it's endless.
Thank you.

This is a big deal
to me.

This is the last
battle rehearsal.

[ Gasps ]
Wow!

Definitely being
his last season,

it makes it even that much
more special for sure.

The Playoff Pass.

So we've been waiting for years
for something like this,

but it's the first time
we've ever had it.

If the Playoff Pass
gets used,

one gets to skip the knockouts
and go straight to the playoffs,

the other one stays
and everybody wins.

It is a really big deal
to, like, get that Playoff Pass.

You go from battles to playoffs,

so I want that
Playoff Pass ASAP.

Any time you see, like,
singer/songwriter

and you kind of go, "I can throw
anything in the world at 'em."

Blake:
Everyone is so different,

but they're also all
at the peak of their game.

This is awesome.

Daly: First up, Blake paired
singer/songwriter Carlos Rising

against Grace West,

the last country artist
to ever join Team Blake.

Blake.
Yes!

[ Cheers and applause ]

* I told you so *

I could never do that,
what you guys are doing.

The wheels are working.
[ Chuckles ]

I'm working overtime.
But your wheels work.
Your wheels work.

* Would you say I told you so? *

Niall: Grace West --
she sings her heart out.

Arguably the biggest threat
in this competition.

Grace, your voice
is just phenomenal.

You've got a real
classic tone.
Thank you.

The winner of this battle
is Grace.

Grace, congratulations!

You're moving on
to the knockouts!

Daly: And Blake also took
versatile country blues artist

Neil Salsich to the knockouts.

* Hey, I heard it
through the grapevine *

* Oh, and I'm just about
to lose my mind *

* Honey, I know *

Chance: Neil has, like,
a quirkiness

about his stage presence,
and I like that.

Like, I think it's dope.

You're moving on
to the knockouts.

Congratulations.

Daly:
The decisions got tougher

when Blake paired
his two rockers,

Kason Lester
and Walker Wilson.

You don't want to look
uncomfortable.

You know, and I'm not sure if
you're used to playing guitar.

Just stare
into my eyes.
I don't think it's anything
you have to overthink.

Yeah, just get lost
in Kason's eyes there.

It's an easy thing
to do, man.
[ Laughs ]

Have you looked
at them things?

* I think about you,
baby *

* And I dream about you
all the time *

You guys are the exact
same person, yo.

Dude.
It's so weird.

That's what
we've been hearing.

All jokes aside,
awesome performance,

and Walker had the edge
on that one for sure.

Thank you, dude.

The winner of this battle
is Walker.

Walker is the perfect
combination of rock,

Southern rock, country.

He owns that lane.

Congratulations,
buddy.

This is Blake's last season,
and his team is killer,

so I'm really happy
for him for that.

Daly:
And piano player EJ Michels

faced off against Pakistani R&B
singer Tasha Jessen.

Tasha, your range is what
really is incredible.

Thank you, Blake.

EJ, your voice
is just so electrifying.

* And if you look closer,
it's easy to trace *

* The tracks of my tears *

* Oh, baby, take one good look
at my face *

* You'll see my smile
looks out of place *

See? One rehearsal
with -- with Blake.

[ Laughter ]

In spite of that,
you still did amazing.

It's incredible.
[ Laughter ]

The winner of this battle
is Tasha.

Tasha, congratulations!

Blake:
I ended up going with Tasha

because every time she sings,
I learn more about her

and what she's capable of.

You did it, buddy.
Thank you.

And she has the star power
to blow the roof off this place.

Daly: Oh, we got a steal!

We got two steals!

I couldn't let EJ go home.

Simply because EJ
could sing anything.

I definitely don't have a singer

with the range that you've got
on my team.

You went with Blake,
which was...a decision.

[ Laughter ]

A decision.

That was a choice.

I think that you could
win this whole thing.

Gonna have to go
with Niall.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Daly:
EJ selects Niall Horan!

I still got more chances
to steal him.

Daly: And finally,
Kylee Dayne and Mary Kate Connor

became close friends
during the competition.

Kylee: We met when we were here
for the blinds.

We've been through
this entire thing, hip to hip.

Daly: But in the battles,
they had to go head-to-head.

Mary Kate: And we got working on
our song, we were like,

"This is a match
made in heaven."

* Always rooting for
the anti-hero *

Did I just step in, like,
a time warp

and step at the end
of rehearsal,

like, where you would sound
that good after we worked on it?

I'm the greatest
coach ever.

[ Laughs ]
Yes.

* It must be exhausting *

* Always rooting
for the anti-hero *

Kelly: Kylee, your voice,
it has, like, this thing

that singers
get jealous of.

No matter what you sing,
it's always gonna sound special.

Niall: Mary Kate,
you were piercing through.

Like, it give me, like, little
goose bumps, to be honest.

Blakey boy, you got one hell
of a choice to make here.

Language, Niall.

[ Laughter ]

The winner of this battle
is Kylee.

Kylee, you're moving on
to the knockouts!

Congratulations!

Kylee has so much style
and personality in her voice.

She's just amazing.

This business,
Mary Kate,

there's gonna be
a "no" every day

until there's finally
a "yes" that comes along.

But on this show, we have
a thing called a Playoff Pass,

and I have that right here
on my button.

I think it --
Hey, it works.

[ Cheers and applause ]
Daly: Oh!

It works!

And there's that yes.

[ Laughs ]

The Playoff Pass
gives an artist a chance

to skip the knockout round.

It puts them straight
into the playoffs.

I had to use my Playoff Pass
on Mary Kate

because she's just an absolutely
incredible singer

and just a pure,
innocent-sounding voice.

I love it.

I think she's gonna
blow people's minds

in these playoffs.

So far, I'm really excited about
my team.

I think all the singers
stand out in a unique way.

Give it up for NOIVAS,
ladies and gentlemen.

I'm gonna take him.

Whoa!

We got a steal!

I'm so happy I stole NOIVAS.

This guy's got so much energy,
and he just commands the stage.

I can't wait to see what my team
is gonna do in these knockouts.

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back.

It's gonna be great, man.
Let's do it.

* God only knows
where this could go *

This season,
former One Direction-er

and multi-platinum artist
Niall Horan joined our coaches.

I pick Niall.

Yeah!

Niall: This is my first season
on "The Voice."

I'm really enjoying it
so far.

You're beaming.
[ Laughter ]

Like a Cheshire cat.

That song choice,
first of all, impeccable.

So brittle and, like,
so tender.

Niall, he knows so much about
a very specific lane in music.

Good stuff, my boy.

He's a formidable opponent,
you know?

You went for the big choruses,
but you were so amazing

in the early moments
of the song.

Kelly: We've both been
artists on a show,

so I can't even use my, like,

"I've been here,"
'cause so has he.

I remember
what I was like at 15

auditioning for a show
like this.

I was shaking like a leaf.

Storytelling, it's my thing.

[ Laughter ]

These guys can't tell
you a story at all.

I write my own stuff with
some of the greatest songwriters

and producers of our time.

Lining them up,
already have it.

We'll talk about it afterwards
when you're on my team.

We're gonna be talking about you
in the final for sure.

Being on a show like this
and being a coach on here,

I can have a say in how those
next steps in their career go.

Please.

So that's exactly why
I wanted to be part of the show.

Can you try to be home
by 7:30 for dinner?

Yes, Dad.
Okay.

I'll get an Uber.

Great job today.
I'm very proud of you.

Thank you, Dad.
See you later.

See you --
See you tonight.

Myself and Blake
have grown very close.

Do you want
a hand up?

Yes, please.
With a cane?

Oh! Thank you, Son.

We've bonded
on a father-son level.

Here's the part where you
take up for me, Son.

Son.
All right, let me --

Let me tell you
about my old man here.

Up next is a trip
to Oklahoma.

[ Southern accent ]
Goin' bass fishing. [ Chuckles ]

Here we go,
Ni-y'all.

[ Laughter ]

It's Niall.

Blake Shelton,
he is "The Voice."

Sweet dude.
Love being around him.

Congratulations.

I have a great laugh with him
on and off camera.

First of all, there is no proof
that I blocked her.

There's proof.

Who did you use it on?

I used it on --

Ohhhh!

You know, I'm a little bit
frustrated and proud

at the same time because Niall
is fightin' dirty.

I'm proud of you, Son.
Thanks, Pops.

He's lying, he's doing
all the things that I do.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Whoo!
[ Laughs ]

I'm so happy that I'm here,
my first season.

I'm super excited
about Team Niall.

Daly:
Now let's see how Coach Niall

built his first-ever
blinds team.

[ Laughter ]

After a slow start...

If I don't get
a team member,

will you come
and sing for me?

Daly: ...Niall pulled out
all the stops

for his first artist,
Ross Clayton.

Ross: We got three children,
three goats,

and so it is a full house.

Hi, Dad!
Hi, Ross.

You are such
a great dad.

We miss you and we love you
so much.

I'm gonna do my best.

I want them to say, like,
look at my dad.

He's out there
giving it a shot.

* Now I'm tellin' you *

* You don't need that guy *

* It's so black and white *

* He's stealin' your thunder *

* Baby, blue ain't your color *

Niall: I love how much control
that Ross has of his voice.

Give him any song
and he'll be able to sing it

and put his own
little stamp on it.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Four chairs!

I got him
in a four-chair turn

by using a little trick
up my sleeve.

I need a bit of privacy.

You don't get privacy.
This is for television.

[ Laughter ]

Is it?

[ Cheers and applause ]

Whoa!

Niall was doing some
under-the-table stuff.

I've never
been able to do --

But I did, in my heart,
want him

to get somebody on his team
by now.

Please.

Niall, let's go.

Oh, my God!

Niall: I could see it
on Blake's face.

He was absolutely gutted that I
stole a country guy from him.

Man,
that was unbelievable.

Daly:
Niall played his cards right

when he used his block on Kelly
for 24-year-old Kala Banham.

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

* From win and lose,
and still somehow *
Oh, no!

* Life's illusions I recall *

* I really don't know
liiiiiife *
Ohhh!

Ha, ha!

Kelly's my biggest
competition here.

We have very similar taste
in singers and music,

so I knew that I had
to block her for Kala.

I can't stand you,
Ireland.
[ Laughter ]

I'm gonna have
to go with Niall.

Niall.
Niall.

Niall.
Niall.

Yes!
Oh, my God!

Niall is killing it
this season.

Hi!
Hi.

Hi, Niall.

I'm such a huge fan
of yours.

Niall came in here
with a giant fan base.

What?!
Oh, my God.

Niall?!

Hiii!
Hi.

Would you like
to be on my team?

Chance: Niall is
a hard one to beat

because he's got
that Irish accent.

It's time to
pass the baton over.

Is a bah-ton a baton?

Language barrier.
Okay, okay.

In Ireland,
I guess it is.

I've got the tools
to break hearts with you.

I like
how you say "tools."

Thank you.
Too-ools.

I've been on a show
like this before.

I know.

Kelly: Niall's best quality
as a coach, I think,

is because he's been
in their position.

That was so good.

I've been in their shoes.

I know exactly what it's like.

You ever heard the phrase
"Luck of the Irish"?

[ Laughter ]

Daly: And Niall used his
Irish charm on this next artist.

* I love you *

* Together, together *

* That's how it must be *

* To live without you would *

You've got such
a cool vibe to you.

Thank you,
it's clown couture.

Yeah, clown couture.
[ Laughter ]

Uh-huh, uh-huh.

There's an already-made star
in there.

You've got this [Italian accent]
Italian confidence.

Niall.

[ Normal voice ] Yeah!

[ Laughs ]

Get it, Niall!

Kate: I picked Niall
because his pitch was amazing

and he's Irish --
Love that.

**

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back.

Niall continued
to shape his blinds team

with Tennessee native
Laura Littleton.

Music's always been around me
since I was little.

My dad was in a bluegrass band.

They would meet
at his tire shop.

The tire shop that he owned,

it's almost 100 years old.

It's the coolest thing
in the world.

* We never learn,
we've been here before *

* Why are we always stuck
and running from *

* The bullets? *

Blake: I hit it
before you!
Yeah! Yes!

That is bull!
That is bullcrap.

[ Vocalizing ]

Hello.

That was so fun!

I love these, like,
natural shakes that you've got.

I would love to have you
on Team Niall.

I think I'm going
to go with Niall.

Yes!
[ Cheers and applause ]

Wish I could've
had you on my team.

[ Shrieks ]

Kelly: I will say,
I stand by my block,

'cause I think that Laura
might have gone with Blake.

I just used it
for Niall, apparently.

Daly: R&B singer Tiana Goss

had a successful return
to "The Voice."

* Oh, you don't mean... *

Tiana: Last season,

I didn't do as well
as I wanted to do.

Not getting a chair turn,
it honestly was a bummer.

[ Chuckles ] I'm not gonna lie.

Not everyone gets
this amazing opportunity,

and the fact
that I have it a second time,

that's unbelievable to me.

* Yeah *
Whoa.

* And who is the one
you're clingin' to *

* Instead of me *
[ Both cheering ]

* Tonight? *

Niall: Tiana is incredible.

Her tones were beautiful
and sweet.

I was hoping for you.

Yes!

My sister's a huge fan.

Is she here?
She's here.

Niall: I was looking
for some character,

and she had that in abundance.

Thank you. Whoo!
Yes!

Daly: Niall also
pushed his button

for 20-year-old dental student
Jerome Godwin III.

* I wanna trust me *

* The way that you
trust me, babe *

* 'Cause nobody ever
loved me like you do *

* I'd love to see me
from your point of view *

What?!

Daly: And he and Kelly
battled it out again

for pop singer Gina Miles.

I'm not super crazy confident,
but when I sing,

I'm a very different person.

* In another life *

* I would make you stay *

* So I don't have to say *

* You were the one
that got away *

* The one that got away *

I'm just a really
big fan of your voice.

Obviously, I've been doing
pop music for 20 years,

so I'm all right at it.
[ Laughs ]

And I feel like we would
work really well together.

I also have a really
cute jacket.

It's really cute.

Are you giving
him help?

I gave him
my phone number.
You are not.

"Kelly can't coach nerves."
[ Laughs ]

I think I'm going
to go with Niall.

Yes!
I lost to Niall.

Come on!

I did it again.

Kelly: Man, Gina,
I loved her tone,

and I thought that
it was a really cool

storyteller-type voice.

Niall and I went head to head,
I think, the most in the blinds.

Don't come near me!

We definitely gravitate towards
similar singers,

and he has a really strong team.

Daly: Musical-theater lover
Michael B. impressed Niall

with his vocal range.

* Save your tears *

Yay!

Whoo!

Daly: And next up,
the youngest solo artist

in the competition,
15-year-old Ryley Tate Wilson.

Ryley: I play guitar,
piano, ukulele, drums.

And, some way, I want
to make music my career.

* And there's a big black sky
over my town *

[ Cheers and applause ]

* I know where you're at,
I bet she's around *

[ Cheers and applause
continues ]

Ryley Tate.
Where do we start?

15 years old.
Four-chair turn.

Voice of an absolute angel.

That was the best audition
we've seen here by a long shot.

I'm gonna have
to go with Niall.

Yes!
Come on!

Daly: And finally, 29-year-old
Army recruiter Talia Smith

fought hard to be here.

Thanks for being here.
Yeah, absolutely.

Where else
am I going to be?

This past year, we found out
that we were pregnant.

Talia: It was
everything we wanted.

But I had a miscarriage.

I kind of just felt weak.

And as a soldier,

that's not something
I'm used to feeling.

Being here is part
of the healing.

* Don't you worry
'bout a thing *

* Don't you worry
'bout a thing *

**

* Don't you worry
'bout a thing *

Niall: She's got
so much control.

For her to come up here
and choose

a really tough
Stevie Wonder song,

it was amazing.

Oh-ho-ho!

Whoo!

What a way
to complete a team.

Blake: Niall's a rookie,

but he stepped in
ready to compete.

And the guy has a solid team.

I feel like he's probably
our biggest threat.

Niall: Can't wait to sit down
with all of my artists,

pick songs,
and start battling it out.

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back.

After building
his first "Voice" team,

Niall took his 10 artists
into the battle ring.

I can't believe
that we're actually

working with Niall now.

Jerome: Ladies first.
I'm cool.

Niall: Hello!

Hi, Michael.
How's it going?

The great thing about
"The Voice" is I've become

really close
with all of my artists.

How are the dogs?

Oh, they're so good.
I got to meet
the dogs on Zoom.

Niall is definitely
an invested coach.

He's personal with us on Zoom.

It's extremely cool to say

that we have a celebrity
in our DMs.

Michael: Look at those
piercing eyes.

Have you ever seen
a face that big?

[ Ryley and Michael laugh ]

Michael: Niall is
an incredible musician.

And getting to, like,
work with him

and collaborate with him
on a duet

was really,
really special.

Daly: Up first,
soft-spoken Gina Miles

and pop singer Kala Banham

put Niall
in a difficult position.

The more emotion you give it,
the better it's going to be.

Keep your composure
and sing it to each other

and just leave it at that,
and you'll be fine.

Kala: Niall had so much
amazing advice for us,

and he's performed in sold-out
stadiums all around the world,

so it was really nice.

* I told you to... *

Niall: Band rehearsals
in the rehearsal studio

is one thing.

This is a different beast.

* In the morning,
I'll be with you *

This is the first time
we see them on the battle stage.

This is the closest
they're going to get

to having a full audience

and the whole of America
watching.

* Come on, skinny love *

[ Both vocalizing ]

**

Gina, your tone
is just phenomenal.

The fact that you can speak
and it's, like,

quiet as a mouse,
and then you come out

and you have that big, bold,
round sound to your voice.

The winner of this battle
is Gina.

Gina, you are moving on
to the knockouts!

Niall: I chose Gina
because of her growth.

The sky's the limit
for that girl.

That is a steal!
Yeah! [ Laughs ]

Kelly: I've been waiting
for her.

I remembered her from the blinds
and I was blocked.

I like anybody that can
bring tears to my eyes,

and she did.

Niall really messed up, y'all.

So excited to get
to work with her.

Daly: Next, Jerome Godwin III

went head to head
with Talia Smith.

* Why are you looking down
all the wrong roads *

* When mine is the heart
and the salt of the soul? *

Niall: What's great
about this show

is there's so much room
for growth,

and I'm really starting to see
some of my artists

really step up and take hold
of their own future.

Chance: Jerome, I thought
you smashed it.

You could sing
anything.
The winner of this battle
is Jerome.

Jerome,
congratulations!

You're moving on
to the knockouts!

Chance: Niall's team is looking
pretty strong right now.

Team Chance is obviously
the way to go

if you want to win the show,

but, like, in terms
of putting together artists

for me to lay the steal,
he's doing a really good job.

Daly: Niall had a vision
when he paired

quirky guitarist Kate Cosentino

with returning artist
Tiana Goss.

There's a version
of this song

that starts quite chill...
Mm-hmm.

...and allows you to show off
before you dance.

Okay.
Try and do
the harmony thing

and make sure that
they're real tight,

because it will make
those harmony moments stand out

in what is a chaotic song.

* Oh, girls just
wanna have fun *

* When the working day is done *

* Oh, girls,
they wanna have fun *

* Oh, girls just
wanna have fun *

That was a really cool
arrangement of that song.

[ Chuckles ]
Thank you.

I felt the lyrics
for the first time.

Do you feel like
we wanna have fun?

Now I understand you,
Kelly.
Now you know.

You just wanna
have fun.

"Oh. You just wanna
have a good time."
I get it.

The winner of the battle
is Kate.

Daly: Kate, congratulations!

Niall: I chose Kate
because you don't see

a lot of those jazzy voices
around these days.

Someone that's got
a bit of quirkiness,

you know,
a bit of character.

Daly: Wait!
We got a steal!

I'm shaking,
I'm shaking.

Chance: I made my steal.
Finally, I got Tiana.

I saw potential,
and she has soul to her voice

and she has a stage presence.

And I'm excited to see
what she's going to do

on Team Chance.

Daly: Ross Clayton
and Laura Littleton

brought some country
to Team Niall.

Ross,
is there a way of, like,

taking back
some of the grit early on?

* I know you really
want to tell me goodbye *

* I know you really
want to be your own girl*

* Baby, you could never
look me in the eye *

I've shot myself in the foot
yet again.

It's not easy.
Ross is the winner.

Ross moving on
to the knockouts!
Thank you.

Kelly: I love Ross.
I really wanted him.

His whole rock 'n' roll edge
with his country vibe, his tone,

like, singer/songwriter --
he covers a lot of lanes.

Daly: Finally,
musical-theater lovers

15-year-old Ryley Tate Wilson
and 29-year-old Michael B.

serenaded our coaches
in one of Niall's

strongest match-ups.

Ryley Tate, you could do with
ramping the song.

You know, sing soft,
tell the story,

and then you start ramping
towards the chorus.

* Whoa-oh-oh *

* 'Cause I get like this
every time *

Oh, my God!
* On these days that feel *

You sung beautifully
together.

The riffs, the control.

The winner of this battle
is Michael.

Michael B.,
congratulations!

You're moving on
to the knockouts!

Niall: I had to move Michael B.
through to the knockouts.

I've heard him singing that song
50 times in the last few days.

He just brought it
to another level.

[ Speaking indistinctly ]

I'm using the Playoff Pass!

Daly: This is the Playoff Pass!
Don't go home!

[ Laughs ]

[ Cheers and applause ]

Niall: The Playoff Pass
is here

for one reason
and one reason only --

to award the best performance
on your team

and send them straight through
to the playoffs.

Ryley Tate has got maturity
beyond his years.

This guy is a gifted kid.

I honestly think that Ryley Tate
Wilson will be in the finale.

I am completely in shock.

I was not expecting that
at all.

Ohh!
Oh, my God!

[ Laughs ]

Niall: Team Niall
is looking strong

from all the battles.

My team has turned heads.

We've got big singers,
completely technical singers.

We've got our storytellers.

I only get one steal,
and I chose to use it

for EJ on Team Blake.

He's got amazing low range,

and he can work his way
right up to the top of it.

Looking forward to seeing
what Team Niall

brings to the stage
in the knockouts.

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back.

Grammy-winning singer/songwriter
and producer Chance the Rapper

arrived ready to win his way.

Hey, the youngins
are killin' it right now!
Whoo!

I'm so excited to be
a part of "The Voice."

Aaaaaaaah!

It's cool that the show
has finally had a rapper on it.

Rap music is, like, an
all-encompassing kind of genre.

Oh, my God!
It's Chance the Rapper!

What?!
Chance the Rapper?!

Together: Ohhh!

Yeah!
EJ: He has the career

that I would like to have myself
as an artist.

**

Chance has got, like,
a super unique ear for talent.

I'm excited
to work with you.

Blake:
I feel like Chance is, like --
he's on a different wavelength.

I'm a visionary, man.

I feel like I'm going
to win the show.

Blake: Chance has come
into this thing fearless.

When he gets excited
about somebody, he goes all in.

If I was lucky enough
to have you on my team,

I would just spend time
with you, figuring out,

you know, what you're about,
and I'll let you be yourself.

Niall:
His song choices, the things
he thinks about musically,

his music knowledge --
he was made for this.

I would love to bring you
some options that,

like, maybe the other coaches
may not be as familiar with.

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

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

Oh, yeah.
Yeah.

Thanks, man.
Yeah.

Chance is, like,
my favorite person

to sit next to on the show.

Chance:
You only have one choice.

You got Chance right here.

[ Laughs ]

You still got Chance
over here.

Oh, my God!
Oh!

You got Chance
right here.

[ Cheers and applause ]
Oh!

And even though
my boy is blocked,

you got Chance right here!

[ Laughs ]
Oh, my God!

I've been lucky
as an independent rapper

to learn a lot of things
over the course of my career.

I started touring
when I was 17.

Do you know Tems?

Of course, yeah.

I know Tems.

You talking about
Tims McGraw?

[ Laughter ]

I'm hoping that I could just
impart some of that wisdom

on this next generation
of artists.

I gotta go with Chance.

Chance.
Chance.

Aaaaaaah!
[ Cheers and applause ]

I'm not focused on anything
other than winning.

Daly: First up on Team Chance,
it's viral sister trio Sorellé.

Madi: We're social media
influencers now.

We have
3.2 million followers.

As a trio,
we only started in 2019,

so this will be
one of our first...
Bella: Ever.

...performances.

* Love you *

* I *
* Love you *

* Hey, boy *

* Where'd you get it from? *

* Hey, boy,
where did you go? *

* I learned my passion
in the good old-fashioned *

* School of lover boys *

* Everything's all right,
just hold on tight *

* That's because
I'm a good old-fashioned *

What are you doing
turning around, Chance?

This is embarrassing,
man.

I really want
to try something.

I just wanted to see

if you guys could do
a three-part harmony

of this simple line.

* What could I do-o-o? *

* What could I do-o-o? *

Tell me what? What?!

* What could I do-o-o? *

I'm telling y'all,
I got y'all.

I got a vision.
Chance.

Aaaaaaah!
Ohhhhhhh!

The Sorellé sisters --
they have, like,

a certain tenured
stage presence that I like.

Come on! Keep clapping!
Are you kidding me right now?!

I think the best thing about
getting Sorellé

was beating Blake.

And as good as I feel

about being able
to vibe together,

I felt even better
about Blake not winning.

Whoo!
That feels good!

Daly: Blake and Chance's rivalry
continued with this next artist,

Jamar Langley.

* I need you *

* I need youuuuu *

Yes! Yes!

If you want to win
the whole competition,

obviously, you got to come
get down with Chance team.

Chance.

Ohhhhhh!

Jamar was awesome.

That was also
my second time beating Blake.

It's all in the pitch,
you know what I mean?

It's how you talk, but it's
also, like, your character.

How do they know
if you're a good guy or not,

Blake Shelton?

Don't come to me
in the battles

when you need me.

Daly: Chance picked up a wide
range of talented singers,

snagging rocker Alyssa Lazar.

* Baby, I'm afraid
of the way I love you *

Welcome to "The Voice"!

* Don't be that way *

Daly: And at 17 years old,

Mariah Kalia
proved to be fearless.

* I just wish you could feel
what you say *

Wow!

If you want somebody that's
gonna take you to that level,

get down
with Chance Records.

I'm telling you.
[ Laughing ]
Ah, Chance Records.

I'm going to go with Chance.

Aaaaaaah!

* You make me say *

* Oh *

**

Niall: 17 years old.
She was years ahead of herself.

She's going to be around here
for a long time.

I'm so sorry.
The connection, man.

You're just
a better coach than me.

Daly: Professional athlete
Chloe Abbott

came to "The Voice"
to switch tracks.

Chloe: I run the 400, which is
one lap around, full speed.

And I am currently training

to go for the 2024 Olympics
in Paris.

* The moment that you wander
far from me *

* I want to be feel you
in my arms again *

Oh! Yo!
Yes!

She got it.

Chance: I was really,
really impressed

with Chloe's control,

and I look forward to seeing

what she's going to do
in this competition.

Daly: Chance added soul
to his blinds team

with this next artist, Magnus.

* Baby hair *

* With a woman's eyes *

Yes!
Oh! He already
turned around!

Let's go!

* I can feel you watching
in the night *

Magnus -- I just knew
as soon as I heard him sing

that he was perfect
for Team Chance.

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

[ Laughs ]

Whoo!

Daly:
And 30-year-old NOIVAS

gave a meaningful performance
for his family.

NOIVAS:
Today, I am singing

"A Change Is Gonna Come"
by Sam Cooke.

This song is very important
for me, personally.

My father, he grew up
in Jim Crow Mississippi,

in a time of widespread racism.

* I was born by the river *

[ Cheers and applause ]

* In a little tent *

* And just like the river,
I've been running *

* Ever since *

Chance: I actually blocked Blake
from getting him.

I knew he was going to want

because he has like a little,
like, country tinge to him.

But I was like,
"This is my guy."

You are an incomparable
talent, yo.

I'm going with Chance.

Ohhhhhhh!

If I'm that threatening,
then I'm honored by the block.

Daly:
Chance also hit his button
for soul singer Ray Uriel.

* That's where I find
a glimpse of us *

[ Cheers and applause ]

Yes! Yes! Thank you!

Welcome to Team Chance!

Daly: Then,
22-year-old Manasseh Samone

returned to "The Voice"

after failing
to turn a chair last season.

[ Cheering ]

Manasseh: * I'll rise up *
Let's go! Let's go!

* I'll rise like the day *

* I'll rise up *

* I'll rise unafraid *

Kelly: Not only her tone,

just the entertainment value
watching her.

Her voice is incredible.

She's kind of like
the whole package for me.

Ooh!

Whoo!
Let's go!

God!

I can't believe
I just got you like that!

Yes! Finally!

Daly:
Chance finished strong,

filling his team
with powerhouse NariYella.

* You want all my love
and my devotion *

Man!

Alright.

* You want my love and soul *

* Right on the line *

Oh-ho-ho!

I was first!
I was first!

* I have no doubt
that I could love you *

* You've got one night only,
one night only *

* That's all you have to spare *

NariYella --
She just blew me away.

I think, technically,
your skill level is

way, way, way
beyond your years.

Thank you.

NariYella was, hands down,

just one of the best vocalists
we've heard.

I was bummed to lose her.

You're my last person.

I am?
You just completed
my whole team.

No doubt.
Yeah!

Chance:
She has a certain fullness

and a confidence that,
coupled together,

like, could make for a star.

America!

My team is full!

Blind auditions are done.
On to the battle rounds.

My team is fire.

I got some
really powerful vocalists

and a lot
of different styles, too.

I think this competition
is going to be a breeze.

Yeah.

**

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back.

With Chance's first team locked,

his eclectic singers
had to face off in the battles.

Woman: What's up?
What up?

Hey!

Chance: At this point
in the competition,

we've got the most talented
people in the world

going head to head.

Hey.
Welcome, welcome.
Hi!

Team Chance is very much
all about being yourself.

Be proud to be making music
and to be performing

and to be, like, who you are.

I'm most excited to continue
to hear these awesome vocalists.

Do you guys need some help
with the mic stand?
[ Contestants chattering ]

Are they, like,
super tight?
I was trying.

I swear to you guys --
It's okay.

Madi: Chance is
a jack of all trades.

He's a musician,
a producer, a writer.

I actually used to be
a roadie for a long time.

And a roadie.
So it was super helpful.

Daly:
Chance got right to work

when he paired two
of his one-chair turns,

Alyssa Lazar and Magnus,
for an epic battle.

* You can tell everybody *

I can't stress enough
how important rehearsal is...

[ Alyssa vocalizing ]

...because it's as much about
your stage presence

as it is about your vocal.

What helps me out a lot
when I'm on stage is,

even though I've sang
the song so many times,

sometimes that can, you know,
work against you.

Kind of taking time to think
about who you're singing to

and what the lyrics
mean to you.

Chance is awesome, man.
He wears so many different hats.

To have that person,
you know, in my corner,

this is crazy.
[ Laughs ]

* It may be quite simple,
but now that it's done *

Magnus, your voice sounds
like a warm, cozy home.

[ Laughter ]

Kelly: It does.
Thank you, Blake.

With soup and those pillows

that are like life-size
body pillows you can lay with.

[ Laughter ]

The winner
of this battle is Magnus.

Magnus moving on!

Kelly:
There were a lot of one-chair
turns in the blinds with Chance.

And now we're getting
to the battles,

and we're hearing his artists,
and we're like,

"Oh, you heard something."

Daly:
Chance also paired seasoned
soul singer Jamar Langley

with 17-year-old R&B pop artist
Mariah Kalia.

Make the song ache
the way that it's supposed to.

Yeah.
Use the experience of life
to bring the song to life.

* Keep me
where the light is *

* Keep me
where the light is *

The winner of the battles
is Jamar.

Thank you.
Jamar, congratulations!

I see Jamar
as a soul artist.

I want to see him
try a little bit more

late '70s, almost soul-funk,

because I think
he could do anything.

Daly: Then, hard-working
data analyst Ray Uriel

took on
four-chair-turn NOIVAS.

* And I'm sorry
I made you cry *

Together:
* Oh-oh-oh-oh *

* I didn't mean to hurt you,
no, baby *

* I'm just
a jealous guy *

Whoo!

NOIVAS --

I feel like I'm looking at
one of my old album covers

standing up there
right now.

It's working for me.

What I noticed about Ray
was that there was no,

like, strain or anything,

and there were moments where

NOIVAS came all the way down
stage and was really performing.

And then when it was your turn,
you was like, "Nah,"

like, "I could do that, too."

I really enjoyed
that improvement.

The winner of this battle
is Ray.

Congratulations.

They both did
an incredible job,

but I had to go with Ray.

He has a very contained sound,

and he has a lot of control
over his vocals.

I'm gonna take him.

We got a steal!

Blake: I was able, for once,
to get somebody on my team

that I thought
needed to be on my team

from the very beginning.

If Chance hadn't used
that stupid block earlier,

this would have
never happened.

You're home, NOIVAS.
Come on.

Oh, man.

Chance: NOIVAS deserves to be
in this competition

just as much as anybody.

And I did not want
to see him go home,

so I thought
that was really cool,

what Blake did.

Daly:
And track star Chloe Abbott
and R&B vocalist NariYella

gave another
incredible performance.

* I want you around, around *

That was so crazy.

Y'all should be
in a group together.

Oh, my God.

[ Laughs ]

The winner of this battle
is NariYella.

[ Cheers and applause ]
NariYella,
congratulations!

You're moving on.
Not easy.

Niall: NariYella,
no matter what song she sings,

it sounds like her own.

Her singing ability,

it's probably the best
in the competition.

Daly: Then it was
viral sister trio Sorellé

versus second-chance artist
Manasseh Samone.

Maybe we could switch up
the arrangement

just a little bit.
Mm-hmm.

Could we try
a three-part harmony

with you guys a cappella?

And then, when we come back in,
we'll up the dynamics

and have bass come in
with Manasseh.

* I wish nothing
but the best for you, yeah *

* Don't forget me,
I begged *

* Oh, I remember you said *

* Sometimes it lasts
in love *

* But sometimes
it hurts instead *

Blake: Chance is doing things
I've never seen

anyone else do
in 23 seasons.

He came in.
He's super confident.

He knows what he wants
in these artists,

and he's turning out
to be a great coach.

[ Cheers and applause ]
Chance!

Was that your arrangement?

Oh, my God.

The winner of this battle is...

Sorellé.

Sorellé, congratulations.

You are moving on
to the knockouts.

Chance, I just want to say

that you have been
truly a blessing to me.

I'm just so grateful
for just being in this --

[ Cheers and applause ]

Oh!

Oh, my God!
Oh, my God!
Oh, my God!

Daly: There it is!

Blake:
It's great to see a story like
what happened with Manasseh.

I mean, she didn't even make it
onto the show last season.

This season, she's on here,

and she got the first-ever
Playoff Pass.

Oh, my God!

Manasseh edged out
that Playoff Pass

because of how much she grew

from the first rehearsal
to the stage rehearsal

to finally being on stage
for the battle rounds.

She just controlled
the whole crowd,

and I just was blown away by it.

It was awesome.

Team Chance is stacked.

I got some really powerful
vocalists -- soul, R&B, a group.

I got Manasseh going on
to the playoffs.

I stole Tiana from Niall.

He missed out on a great artist.

My team is the strongest team
on the show.

**

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back.

This is the "Best of
the Blinds, Battles,

and Blake."

It's his last season.

Also this season,
Coach Kelly Clarkson returned,

and during the blind auditions,

Kelly was more passionate
and more competitive than ever.

[ Cheers and applause ]

**

I'm home.

I know you're excited.

I should change
the locks.
Whoo!

The queen is back.

* I wanna go *

Woman: Kelly.
Kelly.

Together: Kelly.
Yes!

People are excited to be
part of Team Kelly,

which makes me so excited
'cause I've missed it.

Oh, my God!

Yeah!

I've been crushing it.

* I wanna go with you *

Kelly is probably
the hardest person to beat

because as a vocal coach,
as a mega star,

it's tough just to make
a case against Kelly.

I told Kelly
she needed to turn around.

Mama turns
when she wants to turn.

[ Cheers and applause ]

She's back with a vengeance.

And by that, I mean
she still won't stop talking.

I love the runs.
I was enjoying the runs.

I'm sorry, I cut you off.
I'm so sorry.

Do you wanna
hug it out?
And you didn't --

Do you wanna hug it out?
Let's hug it out.
Let's get a hug.

Let's hug it out.
[ Laughs ]

Niall turned around without
anybody telling him to.

He just like --
he just did it.
No, he didn't tellme.

He was just like,
"Hey, I like this guy."
No, no, no, no
no, no, no.

I can attest to this.

It's not whatyou say.
It's how muchyou say.

[ Laughter ]

You can make fun
of how I'm winning,

but I'm still winning.

Chance: Kelly and Blake
just have this crazy rivalry.

I don't think they care
what's going on sometimes.

Am I truly
your favorite coach?

Absolutely. Yep.

[ Buzzer blaring ]

I'm telling you,
this thing doesn't work.

It doesn't work,
Kelly.

It's exciting
to have Kelly back.

She came in ready to start
some crap with me.

Blockhead Blake

stole the opportunity away
from us, okay?

There is no proof
that I blocked her.

[ Laughter ]

Historically, Blake and Kelly
have had a bit of a battle.

By not hitting
her button,

she chose to not be
a part of your life.

I'm totally gonna miss him.
Mm-hmm.

It's very funny, though.
He loves winding Kelly up.

That's probably
my favorite thing.

He has Kelly
right in his back pocket.

Blake: If I don't win,

the next best thing is Kelly
not getting what she wants.

What is wrong
with you?!

[ Laughter ]

It's the Cowboy's last season,
but I'm not going easy on you.

I missed the chair.
I missed the button.

I missed having a team
to work with.

I'm super pumped
about season 23.

Daly: First to join Team Kelly

was Mississippi girl
Holly Brand.

* But I'm still
a Mississippi girl *

[ Cheers and applause ]

* A Mississippi girl *

[ Vocalizing ]
Whoo!

We're gonna do big things
together if you come with me.

[ Laughs ]

Please! [ Laughs ]
[ Laughs ]

The whistle note
took me out.

And I think,
if you get down with me,

you're obviously
going to win.

I definitely know a hell
of a lot more than these two.

[ Laughter ]

I know that --
Why are you talking?

You didn't even turn.

Kelly.
Whoo!

Oh, my God!
I love you!

[ Laughs ]

Kelly: Holly is incredible.

I will never not be shocked

that Blake
didn't turn for Holly.

I'm stoked to work with her.

Daly: ALI is
a 24-year-old soul singer

who was born deaf.

ALI: It was hard
when I was a kid,

definitely, for sure,
you know, to, like, accept this.

Daly: But from an early age,
she had a natural gift.

ALI: Even though
I can't really hear

every single thing
that's going on,

I can feel the music,
what it means,

and every little thing
coming out of the speaker.

* And there he was,
this young boy *

* A stranger to my eyes *
That was cool.

* Strumming my pain
with his fingers *

Hi, I'm ALI,
and a fun fact about me

is I wear two hearing aids.

I was born deaf.

I'm so blessed
to be able to share

this amazing journey
with you.
Oh, my God.
That's crazy.

Blake: Wow.
[ Laughs ]

Thank you.

Your runs were so intricate
and cool and different.

That's a gift.
Kelly.

Even if you didn't know
her story, she's incredible.

She feels and hears music
differently than us,

and it bleeds through her.

Thank you, guys.

Great job.
Welcome.

Daly: Pop artist JB Somers

serenaded his way
onto Team Kelly.

* I would drink
a case of you, darling *

* And I would
still be on my feet *

* Oh, I would still be on my *

Your tone
is incredible.

I'm gonna go with Kelly.

[ Cheers and applause ]

JB's voice, y'all, especially
the fact that he picked Joni.

I love Joni Mitchell.
He's perfect for my team.

Daly: Kelly added another strong
female vocalist to her team

when she picked up Allie Keck.

* Oh, if I was a man,
I'd make my move *

**

* If I was a blade,
I'd shave you smooth *

[ Cheers and applause ]

Yeah!

Allie, you can project
more than anybody else

that's come out
on this stage.

Blake, I love you,
but I think

I'm gonna have
to go with Kelly.
Oh, my gosh!

Kelly: I love her vibe.

She's like Janis Joplin
meets, like,

Ann Wilson from Heart,
and she's incredible.

Daly:
Southern R&B singer D.Smooth
put music on the back burner.

D.Smooth:
I have a lot of jobs.

I am a barber,
a personal trainer.

I was a delivery person.

But I felt like
God was telling me,

"It was time to focus
on what gifts I gave you."

* Baby, I'm dancing
in the dark *

* With you between my arms *

* Whoa, yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah *

[ Cheers and applause ]
Hey, let's go.

He turned with, like,
five seconds on the clock.

Mama turned, like,
in the beginning.

Because I knew how hard
of a song it was to sing,

that's why
I was waiting.
Ms. Kelly.

Yes! Yes!
Whoo!

Niall: Kelly's excited
to be back here,

and you can tell.

She's been going ham
on that button.

[ Shouting indistinctly ]
Oh! I'm so -- Oh!

She's dangerous, Kelly Clarkson.

That was really cool.
That was really cool.

That was really cool.
That was really cool.

[ Laughs ]

Daly:
22-year-old Rachel Christine
also joined Team Kelly.

* Like any hot-blooded woman *

* I have simply wanted *

Chase went in.
All right! Let's go!

* An object to crave *

* But this is not allowed *

* You're uninvited *
Come on, Niall!

* An unfortunate slight *

[ Cheers and applause ]

Oh, there she is.

[ Laughs ]
It took me a minute.

Then I heard this part
come alive,

and you became, like,
really rock 'n' roll and rad,

and you started singing
with your chest and your gut.

You've got a powerful,
awesome voice.

I have to go with Kelly.

Yeah!
Are you serious?

I spotted her from the jump.

And, you know, we'll see
how the competition goes.

You never know
where she'll end up.

Daly: Marcos Covos' life changed
when he came out to his family.

I had always
[Clears throat] thought,

if my family finds out,
it was going to be bad.

When it happened,
I lost all of the support

of my family.

I was angry.
I was sad.

Eventually, my mom
put her foot down and said,

"I want to see my son."

And we slowly started
the process of repairing

all of our relationships.

I am thankful for our family.

My family and I
are closer than ever now.

This is the first time
in my life

where I feel like
I know exactly who I am.

I am proud of who I am.

* Solo tú *

Gotta do it!

[ Cheers and applause ]

* Has llenado de luto mi vida *

* Abriendo una herida
en mi corazón *
Wow.

Let's go, Marcos!

What?!
Kelly: No!

No!

Let's go!

No! No!

It was the last second!
What? What?

Hello. Hello.

I turned around so fast
for you.

I'm going to have
to go with Kelly.

Yes!

[ Cheers and applause ]

**

Chance:
That's a good dance.

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly:
Welcome back to "The Voice"

at Universal Studios Hollywood.

Let's see how Kelly continued
to build her blinds team.

32-year-old voiceover artist
Cait Martin

hid behind the characters
she played.

Today, I'm going to be recording
a little bit of voiceover work.

He never told me the name
of the crook who trained him.

Daly: But now,
she's finally ready

to take center stage as herself.

* You know it's not the same
as it was *

* As it was *

* As it was *

Whoo! Whoo!

[ Cheers and applause ]

It's a four-chair!
Aah!

What is your name?
Where are you from?

Welcome to Team Kelly.

[ Laughter ]

[ Chanting ]
Kelly! Kelly!

What are they saying?

That's my mom saying,
"Kelly!"

Yes!

[ Laughing ]

You know what they say.

You should always listen
to your parents.

Kelly knows what she wants.

She's super genuine,
and that's why people love her.

And it sucks for me.

Yeah.
[ Laughs ]

Daly: In a "Voice" first,

a solo artist from Kelly's
Season 16 team returned...

I love you!

...this time as part of a trio.

* Tell me that you're
coming through *

You're --
What is happening right now?

What's going on here?

He's Team Kelly
on another season.

He is incredible.

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

on the show with a group.

That is insane.

I've been in a group.

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

We're going to have
to go with...

Kelly.
Kelly.
Kelly.

Aaaah!

Oh, my God!

She's got a lot of people,
when they come out,

in the palm of her hand

before she's even said a word.

So she's tough to beat.

Daly: Kelly and Niall went
head to head one more time

when they both turned
for this last artist,

Katie Beth Forakis.

* And if you can't be
next to me *

* Then your memory is ecstasy *

There you go.
Kelly.

* I miss youuuuuuuu *

Pretty.
Wow.

[ Cheers and applause ]

I'm really excited
you're on the show.

We literally have not heard
anyone like you.

I'm going to go with Kelly.

Yes!

Thank you!

Oh, my God!

Kelly: Katie Beth
was the perfect person

to finally fill up my team.

My team...

is full!

[ Cheers and applause ]

My team is looking so strong.

It was really fun to get to,
like, pick these artists

and cultivate this perfect,
cool team.

And now -- now I'm ready.
Let's go to battles.

[ Audience chanting "Kelly!" ]
Talk about it.
Talk about it. Talk about it.

[ Laughs ]

Daly:
With Kelly's team complete,

her artists moved on
to the battles.

Now we're going in.
Unh, unh, unh.

Your tone is so good.

Same with when you were
singing your blind.

Thank you.
Yeah, I was in love.

I was like,
"Oh, my God."
Aww!

I am back this season,
and I -- I missed it so much.

It -- I didn't even realize
until I came back

and I was like,
"Oh, man, I love doing this."

'Sup, y'all?

Good to see you.
Good to see you.

Y'all look so cute.

You look so cute.
Nice to see you.
Hi!

The talent has been incredible
this season and very different.

And it's like, just which way
do you want to go

with your team?

It sounds incredible.

If, after the show,
you wanted to make a group,

it would be
an incredible group,

and I would go
see your show.

It's just like, "Oh, my God."
[ Chuckles ]

We're not worthy.

* Told I'm not ladylike *

Ooh, I love where
you're leaving that.

Of course I was nervous,

but she made me feel
very comfortable,

and so I'm super thankful
that she's my coach.

Daly:
Kelly kicked off her battles

with voiceover artist
Cait Martin

and Nashville rocker Allie Keck.

* It must have been love *

* But it's over now *

You're sustaining
and climbing.

How you're coming in,

the same kind of
fierce force and power,

it's incredible.

* Must have been
loooove *

* But it's over now *

Yeah!

[ Cheers and applause ]

The winner of this battle
is Cait.

Daly:
Cait, congratulations!

Cait has this, like,
chameleon factor to her,

in that she can find a piece
of music and make it her song.

Daly: Kelly had
another tough decision

after pairing powerful trio
Sheer Element

with mariachi singer
Marcos Covos.

* Fall in love *

* Fall in love *

* I could fall in love *

* Fall in love *

* Oh, whoa, whoa *

* Oh, ooh *
* Oh, baby *

Marcos, I do miss you singing
in Spanish a little bit.

That is what separates you
in this competition.

Yeah.

The winner of this battle
is Marcos.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Marcos -- My favorite thing
about his voice is his passion.

You just can't teach that.
That's innate.

And I'm really looking forward
to stretching him

to see what he's going to do
vocally on the show.

Daly: Kelly paired
two strong female vocalists,

country singer Holly Brand and
pop singer Katie Beth Forakis.

If there's anywhere in the song
where you feel like,

"Oh, my God, I'm gonna have
to fit all these words in"...

Yeah.
...you can take a breath.

* I'm a lady
like that, yeah *

* I'm a lady like that,
oooooh *

[ Cheers and applause ]

I'm gonna hug you!

Hey, girls.

First of all, terrible high-five
there at the end.

I mean, that was
awkward as hell.

[ Laughter ]

The winner of this battle
is Holly.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Niall: One of my first
big losses was Holly.

Team Kelly has got Holly Brand,
and we should all be nervous.

Daly:
JB Somers and Rachel Christine

got two chairs to turn
in the blinds.

And in the battles, they
performed an impressive duet.

* Crying in the bathroom,
had to figure it out *

* With everyone around me
saying *

* "You must be
so happy now" *

The winner of this battle
is Rachel.

Daly: Rachel, you're moving on
to the knockouts.

Congratulations!

Rachel showed up just
completely different

and just killed me.

Great job.
Great job.

Daly:
Things got soulful

when ALI faced
Southern gentleman D.Smooth

in Kelly's final battle.

* You say that you caaaaaaaare *

Oh, my God. I just forget
how much I love this. [ Laughs ]

Oh, we love you.

That was really good.
Oh, man.

Can I give you a hug?
I want to give you a hug.

Don't. I'll break.
Give me a minute.

[ Laughter ]

It's like a big, warm hug
just being near her.

I honestly thought I was
going to, like, fangirl moment.

Like, "Aaaaah!"
Squeal like a 15-year-old girl.

* You say
that you caaaaaaare *

* You say that
you care for me, baby *
Yeah!

* I was unaware *

* I was so unaware *

* And you ain't
tell me nothing, no, no, no *

[ Cheers and applause ]

Whoo!

That's what I'm going
to miss the most,

is just sitting here
with a front-row seat

to some of the best concerts
that anybody's ever seen.

Great job.
Thank you, Blake.
Thank you.

D.Smooth, I haven't heard
a dude sing like that

since, like, the '90s.

ALI, how you hear pitch,
how you flow,

it's a God-given talent.

Thank you.

The winner of this battle
is ALI.

Daly: ALI.
Kelly: ALI feels the music,
not just sings it.

And that is an incredibly
moving thing to witness.

[ Button echoes ]

Daly: That's the sound
of a steal!

Yeah, Chance-y boy!

Oh, man.
Team Chance, man.

Chance went in.
He used his steal.

We're like, "Oh, wow.

He's gonna get a chance
to work with Chance."

I'm using
my Playoff Pass!

Whoa-ho-ho-ho!
[ Cheers and applause ]

Kelly came in and smashed
the entire dream

right before
everybody's eyes.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Whoa!

Yeah!

Chance tried to steal D.Smooth.
That ain't happening.

He is not leaving Team Kelly.
[ Laughs ]

D.Smooth, he has a sneaky,
casual way

of just being incredible.

My team going into
the knockouts, man,

we have some country,
we have some singer/songwriter,

we have some, like, R&B.

That is a steal!

Kelly:
I stole Kala from Niall.

She is such an emotional singer.

I like an eclectic team.

That's my favorite thing
to kind of form on this show.

Team Kelly is incredible, y'all.

Daly: Welcome back to the
"Best of the Blinds, Battles,

and Blake."
Man: Give it up!

[ Country music plays ]

Marker.

Daly: Blake Shelton
is our only coach

in "Voice" history who has been
a part of all 23 seasons.

Blake: I've been
here for-ever.

Whew!
Come on in, guys.

You actually
live here?

Oh, yeah.

He's been here
since the beginning of time.

My entire life, I wake up here
and I go to sleep here.

It's my little home
inside my home.

You gotta be
kidding me.

Hey, Blake, it's time
for you to talk.

What season is this?

That's a tiny cot.
Yeah.

It's probably not big enough
for all three of us.

Niall: Yeah, you're right.
Wake up, man.

Loco, loco, loco.

Daly: And over the years,

he's done whatever it takes
to get to the top.

Blake: I don't know
how to do this.
He's very inexperienced.

What do you do?
You hit a button?

Something that I wish
I would've learned

before coming to "The Voice"

is how to invest
my money wisely.

So I wouldn't have had
to take this job.

[ Gasp]
[ Crickets chirp]

Come on. That's --
Come on. Huh?

He's been here since, like,
he was 40, and now he's 80.

[ Laughter ]

But Blake does what it takes
to win "The Voice."

That's probably why
he's won so much.

Man: Blake Shelton is a liar.
[ Laughter ]

I do lie.

But it's only when
something is important to me.

[ Laughter ]
CeeLo: I don't know
about Blake.

I don't know how sincere
he truly is --
I haven't even
said anything yet.

What the hell?
[ Laughter ]

You two hit the block,
really?

I don't --
still don't think I did.
Yeah.

Do you want someone
that's gonna lie to you?

[ Laughs ]
Well...

Today's my birthday.

No, it's not.
It's literally not his birthday.

It is not
his birthday.
You sit on a throne
of lies!

He's a saboteur.
He's a liar.

I still live
in Oklahoma.
Do you?

Are you sure about that?
[ Laughs ] You're so
full of crap.

You're going to have
to take your "Chance" here.

[ Laughs ]

What are you doing?!

Ugh.
Struggling to trust him.

You really can't trust
Blake Shelton.

I just try
to keep it interesting.

You know what I'm saying?
That's what liars say.

Blake: I hear a lot of
the other coaches

talking about me telling lies,
and that within itself is a lie.

Come on.
[ Goat bleats ]

Come on.

The lying,
the Blake dirty tricks.

Get -- Get the mute button
ready.
Gwen: Oh, my God.

He's, like, the country king.

Is there a country mafia?

**

No.

**

Blake.
Country Godmother.

Get out of my chair.
I'm sorry.

What is it with you?

You can have that, too.
I'm sorry.

Thank you,
Country Godmother.

I'm a member
of the Grand Ole Opry

and CMA Entertainer
of the Year.

Thank you very much.
Nobody has more of an advantage.

I've been doing this
a long time on this show.

Too long, some might say.

[ Button whooshes ]
[ Muted speech ]

How did he do that?

Mine doesn't do that.
[ Microphone off ] Why do
you get all the cool things?

Can y'all hear her?

What do you think about Blake?
[ Dog whimpers ]

[ Goat bleats ]
Come on.

Oh, my God.
It won't come.
[ Laughter ]

Chance: You know,
he's been here 23 seasons,

and he just does
whatever he wants here.

It's pretty crazy.

Oh, this ain't
gonna work.

Goats are known
for being stubborn.

Oh, that's not
going to work.

Thanks a freaking lot.

[ Goat bleats ]

* Do I have to buy you
a diamond ring? *

Who do y'all think that Brittany
should pick as her coach?

[ Cheers and applause ]

Oh, that's so stupid.
Adam: Oh, my God.

He will use anything to try
and win people on his team.

Pick me!
Whose dog is this?

Oh, I want the puppy! Hi!
Do you like him?

It always works for Blake.
It shouldn't be allowed
on "The Voice."

You like him?
[ Laughs ]

Blake pulls out all the stops
to win an artist to his team.

If you don't choose me
as your coach,

this puppy is going to go
straight back

to the animal shelter.

What is wrong
with you?
[ Laughter ]

Yes! Yes! Yes!

[ Cheers and applause ]

As soon as that artist
walks off the stage...

[ Laughing ]

...all I can think about
is pointing my finger

in the people's face that I beat
to get that artist.

Ha!
[ Laughs ]

Listen.
[ Laughing ]

[ Laughs ]

[ Laughs ]

Kelly: Everyone knew
they were going to pick you.

You can't brag
about that.

Oh, yes, I can.

Oh, man.
Mm-hmm.

I know he's not my ally.

He thinks I don't see
right through him, but I do.

Oh, this is serious.
Is this serious?

You're not
my granddaughter anymore.

Grandpa, wait!
[ Laughs ]

You like
this right here?

You like some of that?
Some of that?

Blake thinks he's a good dancer.

Do it, Blake.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Right there?

You like that
right there?

Do you like that?

[ Grunts ]

That's very subjective.

How about this right here?
Oh, yeah.

[ Laughter ]
You like that?
Do you like that?

Do you like that?
Guys -- Somebody
call the paramedics.

[ Laughter ]
Blake's having a stroke.

That dance should be
against the law.

I choose Blake.

Blake.
Blake.

Yes!

Blake: It's important
for the other coaches to know

who the champ is.

Niall: Blake's a nice guy.

Great fun.
But he's a winner.

Let's do this.
Come on.

**

I've learned the Blake Shelton
finger point.

It's curl, lift, curl.

**

So now that he's leaving,
I'm going to take on the legacy

of the famous
Blake Shelton finger point.

Like father,
like son, huh?
Yeah.

Come on. There's only one
Blake Shelton.

[ Cheers and applause ]

If I don't win this last season,
it's really embarrassing.

I mean, I only have
a few weeks left

and it's over.

* Maybe it was Memphis *

Kelly: He's never going to press
the button again.

* Maybe it was
Southern summer nights *

* Maybe it was you,
maybe it was me *

* But it sure felt right *

Kelly: He's like the king
of "The Voice," you know?

He's what people love
about this show.

He's one of the main reasons.

I think it's going
to hit him later.

I'm gonna find him
crying in his room.

**

That's a wrap on Blake Shelton!

[ Snoring ]

Gonna get some work done
around here.

Put the --
Oh, those are pretty.

[ Imitating chirping ]

[ Smooches ]
Give you kisses.

I know. I know.
[ Chuckles ]

Do, do, do, do.

Aha! It's perfect.

And that's a wrap.
Thank God.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Daly: Coming up, we'll continue
to walk down memory lane...

Blake pulls out
the heart strings.

You're family to me now,
and I love you.

I really do.

Daly: ...and give
an exclusive look

at Blake's last performance.

* Oh, baby, let me love you *

* Oh, baby *

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back.

Man: Okay, Blake interview,
take one.

Explain to us -- This is what
"The Voice" is about.

[ Beep ]
Well, I -- you know,

I wish I could sit here
and tell you

that I know exactly, you know,
what "The Voice" --

uh, the television show
is gonna be about.

It has to start
with a great...voice.

Blake.
I pick Blake.

Blake.
Blake.

Blake, Blake, Blake.

Blake, Blake,
Blake, Blake.

Yes!

Kelly: I think it's impossible
to think of "The Voice"

and not think
of Blake Shelton.

People,
like a bug to a light,

like, they're just, like,
really attracted to him.

Blake Shelton. "A," I have
a massive crush on you.

[ Laughter ]

Thank you.
[ Cheers and applause ]

Thank you very much.
Thank y'all.

Thank you.
I love you.

Usher: Everybody loves Blake.

I wouldn't be surprised
if he goes for president.

[ Laughs ]

Blake pulls out
the heart strings.

I love you.

This is a match
made in heaven.

And the dimples,
[Southern accent] the accent.

What the hell
are you even talking

to these people
for, man?
[ Laughter, cheering ]

Blake: What are
you talking about?

We're talking about
my secret strategies

to be the best, most awesome,
coolest coach.

Is it your puffy sleeves?
Is that a pirate shirt?

Argh.

He's, like, one of the funniest
people I've ever met.

And he's just such
a good person.

He really cares
about the artist.

You're family to me now,
and I love you.

I really do.
[ Cheers and applause ]

And I'm so proud of you.
I'm so happy for you.

I really am.

Blake is genius
at engaging with people.

If you could just
put the competitive part

out of your mind, you know,
and just go out there

and do what you've always
dreamed of doing.

I'm telling you,
you're a great singer.

And then --
And I still think so.
[ Sobbing ]

Big ol' hullock.
What'd you make her cry for?

It's overwhelming,
I know it.

Man, you're so good.
I'm serious.

You really are.

Oh, my gosh.
I never cry.
[ Laughs ]

Madison: I never expected to
create such a bond with Blake.

You know, it's like
a crazy uncle

that -- that's always
looking out for me.

You're one of
my favorite singers

that I've ever heard
on this show.

Uh, Blake...

Blake as a coach and almost
like a father figure, you know,

it means the world to me

because I never had that
growing up.

You've lit up the road,
dream-wise.

You just put a freaking spark
in it, man, and, you know...

[ Cheers and applause ]
Thank you, buddy.

I feel beyond lucky

to have been able to call
"The Voice" my home

for the past 12 years.

I've crossed paths with
an amazing group of coaches.

I even met my wife
on this show.

Blake, I'm a giant fan.
I respect you so much.

Oh, no.
Oh, no.

But I have to choose
your wife.

What?! Oh, my God!
Oh!

[ Cheers and applause ]

I think it's really fun
to go head to head with Blake.

I think it's fun
to do anything with Blake.

Yes!

[ Cheers and applause ]

She's a good one.
Congratulations.
Doing good.

Blakey!
This will be
in the tabloids.

John: Blake and Gwen
are married now.

He's been weakened
by love.

[ Laughs evilly ]
It's our chance to destroy him.

You get to pick between
Gwen Stefani,

AKA Gwen Shelton...

[ Laughter ]

...and...
Blake Stefani.

...Blake Stefani,
our lovely couple, and...

You think I'm lovely?

The two of you together
are lovely,

but the high percentage
of the loveliness is Gwen.

[ Laughter ]

Hi, Blake Shelton.
[ Wolf whistles ]

[ Giggles ] Love you.

[ Whistles ]
[ Laughs ]

Lucky me.

[ Cheers and applause ]

I'm damn proud
of you, son.

Thank you, Dad.

I can see exactly why
the people of America

have fallen in love
with this man.

I've known him for 48 hours,
and I love him.

You pick me
as your coach,

I will quit coaching
after this season.

[ Laughter ]

He makes every room
that he walks into light up,

and he will be sorely,
sorely missed.

But I am glad that I'm here
to clap him out of here

one last time.

Now, over the years,

there have been so many
memorable coach performances,

and Blake is the one coach who
has been a part of all of them.

* Dream until your dreams

Blake: I've gotten
to be a part of some

incredible coach performances
over all these years.

This season's going to be
another incredible moment

to get to perform with Chance
and Niall and Kelly.

[ Laughter ]

It's just gonna be a blast.

Have you heard about it?
It's gonna be incredible.

Kelly: * Mmm-mmm *

Chance: * You're just too good

[ Cheers and applause ]

Heyyy!

Niall: It's so nice to have you
in my house. [ Chuckles ]

Join us next Monday,
8:00/7:00 Central,

as the knockouts continue.

I'm Carson Daly.
Good night, everybody.

In one week,
it's the knockouts.

A fancy Mega Mentor
has returned.

Oh, my gosh.

Oh, God!

Hi, girls!
Oh, my God!

[ Chuckles ]

Reba McEntire!
[ Imitates air horn ]

**

Hi, Kylee. I'm Reba.
Nice to meet you.

Girl, I know
who you are.
[ Chuckles ]

Blake: Reba is considered
Queen of Country Music.

I mean, there's really nothing
that Reba hasn't done

and hasn't done well.

When you smile,
reminds me of Patrick Swayze.

Oh, my goodness.

So excited for these performers

to get to grow
a little bit more with her.

You need to almost be to
that brink of "God, help me."

If you do it that way,
we'll feel it.

Daly: And our coaches shape
their playoff teams.

* Take me to chuuurch *

Chance: They're really
representing themselves

to really show who they are

and not have anything
to lean back on.

That was crazy!
Both of you.

I love this song.

In the knockouts, song choice
is absolutely everything.

I'm so angry.
You both did such a great job.

[ Laughter ]

Daly: It's the toughest
knockouts yet.

[ Cait singing indistinctly ]

I'm going.
Yes!

Daly: That is the sound
of a steal!

The playoffs
are one step away.

America, get ready.
