Daly:
Tonight, 20 artists remain,

all one step away
from the live shows.

Niall: It's incredible.

This season is so stacked
with talent.

* Yoooooooooou *

Wow!

John:
Four chairs!

John: This was the most
four-chair turns we've ever had

on "The Voice."
Whoo!

* Baby *

Gwen: It's my favorite thing
about the show

is watching people
just get better and better.

Whoo!

* Dead or alive *
Yeah!

* With us *

Reba:
They're not just singers.
Whoo!

Now they're becoming
entertainers on stage.

Daly: Before they take the stage
in the playoffs,

we'll catch you up on how our
coaches got them to this point.

John Legend.
Yeah!

The competition is so stellar.

Gwen.
What?!

Niall.
Yes.
Reba.

John: These artists
are making the most

of this experience.

* There's a hole
in the bottle of wine *

Daly: It all starts...

right now.

* This is "The Voice" *

[ Cheers and applause ]

Hey, everybody. Welcome
to "The Road to the Playoffs."

I'm Carson Daly.

The knockouts are over,

but before we head into
the next round of competition,

we're gonna take another look
at how we've arrived

at this crucial stage.

[ Horse whinnies ]

First, country music legend
Reba McIntyre

rode in for her first season
as a coach on a mission.

[ Horse whinnies ]

Mama's gotta go win
"The Voice."

I'm Reba.

Niall: People of America...
[ Audience chanting "Reba" ]

...Queen Reba has arrived.

Surprise!
Surprise!

Chrissy and I
baked you a cake.
Oh, my gosh.

This is my first season
being a coach.

I am thrilled to be
sitting in Blake's chair.

I hope I do it justice.
Oh, gosh.

Maybe someone can finally
class up that chair.

Oh, oh, oh.
You know what I'm saying?

I hope they got her, like,
a new cushion at least.

Yeah, put some
Febreze on it.

[ Laughter ]

Here's to a fun season
with all of you.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Let's go!
It's official!

She is a legend.
She is a country queen.

Look at the queen.

Oh, my God.

[ Cheers and applause ]

The queen is here.

They keep calling me
"the queen."

Queen Reba.

She's been waving
like this all day.

[ Laughs ]

As they should.

You can't stop me.

Now I feel like she's gonna
cast some evil spell on me.

Don't let the diamonds
distract you.

How do we fight
and compete against Reba?

I was Googling the queen
this morning.

I think it was, like,
106 top ten hit singles.

23 #1 hits.

I mean, it's not even possible
what she's done.

Thank you, Lady Gwen.

Everybody loves Reba.

Me and my grandmother
used to watch the "Reba" show.

Dang it!
Oh, man.

[ Screams ]

She doesn't have to fight
too hard for any artist.

Who did you grow up
listening to?

I grew up listening to you,
Miss Reba.

Oh, my gosh!

Reba was amazing
in the blinds.

She's so hard to beat.

I pick Reba.
Reba.

I'mma go with Reba.
Reba.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Oh, do your dance,
Reba.

[ Audience chanting "Reba" ]
Do your dance!

[ Laughs ]

Daly: With the queen settled
on her throne,

it was time to build
her playoff team.

First up, powerhouse
country singer Jordan Rainer,

who impressed all four coaches

with her version
of a Reba classic.

* She said, "Here's
your one chance, Fancy *

* Don't let me down *

* Here's your one chance,
Fancy..." *

Reba: When I turned around and
saw that she was in that hat,

black sunglasses,
and a trench coat

and playing the guitar...
* Oooh *

I said, "This is
the perfect package."

* "Now don't let me down, hon,
your mama's gonna bring you *

* Don't let me down, hon,
your mama's gonna move you *

* Don't let me down, hon *

* Your mama's gonna
move you uptown" *

[ Cheers and applause ]

Hey!
Whoo!

Whoo-hoo!

Wow!

Four chairs!
Let's go!

**

What is your name,
and where are you from?
Hello, Fancy!

I'm Jordan Rainer,
I'm 33 years old,

and I'm from
Atoka, Oklahoma,

but I currently live
in Nashville, Tennessee.

How long have you been
in Nashville?

Moved there eight years ago
with a husband and a wiener dog.

Still got
the wiener dog.

Oh.
[ Laughs ]

I love her.

It's huge to win
a four-chair turner.

Well,
if you did choose me

as your coach,
you know we'd have a blast.

[ Ding! ]
Blake: Niall is a
global superstar.

[ Laughter ]
How much did you pay him?

[ Laughter ]

What's going on here?

I thought you were gonna
sit on my lap.

We would have -- We would have
so much fun together --

She's blocking
your button.

I am the queen.
You cannot speak.
[ Laughter ]

Here's your one chance,
Reba, you didn't let me down.

I'm just like yeah!

I was really excited.

Y'all want some
tater tots?
Yes.

Barbecue sauce
or ketchup?
Barbecue.

Reba come in, she's doing...

things a little bit
different around here now.

If you're
on my team,

I've got a --
Reba's Tots over there.

I'm a tot guy.
I like me some tots.

There you go.

Ooh, they're so good.

There you go.
Thank you so much.

What are they?
They're just only just potatoes?

Yeah, grated up potatoes
stuck together, fried.

Is it like a -- like
a mini hash brown?

It is, in a
different shape.

Oh, really?

They're amazing.

Mmm!

These are my favorite.

Yeah, Reba Tots.

I want to visit
the tots over here.

Well, I don't have a team
member, but I'm hungry.

Wait. I'm on a diet!

Mm...no.

Reba's Tots.
Really good tot.

You know what I know? I know
Blake is so pissed right now.

He would love a tot.
Absolutely.

He would really want
to be.

Team Reba, y'all.

Come in, come in.
Good to see ya.
Hi, hon. How are ya?

Daly:
Jordan continued to impress
her coach in the battles.

Your microphone
awaits ya.

Yee-haw.
Yes, ma'am.

I'm looking
forward to it.

I thought after the blind
audition, I was like,

"Thank God I'll never have
to sing a Reba song

in front of Reba again."
And there we go.

Y'all done did me dirty.
Here we go again.

[ Laughs ]

* The heart won't *
* Lie *

Reba: In my own career,
I'm a part of all of it,

from costumes to the lighting,
staging, videos, everything,

so I'm totally enjoying this.

Jordan, when you kind of
get into those soft,

"The heart won't lie,"

really get
in your mic on that.

Let's do it.

This is my first time
doing the battles

and I absolutely loved it.

We get more time to talk
and visit and connect,

and then they get
to ask me questions.

Should I lose the shades

to be able to connect with him,
do you think?

Being a love song,
it's a duet,

I think glasses off.
Okay.

Jordan: As a coach,
Reba is phenomenal

because she has been
where I'm going.

She has paved the way
for women in country music,

and I know that
she's gonna have so much

to bring to the table as far
as my future in country music.

* The heart won't *

* Lie *

* You can live your alibi *

* Who can see
you're lost inside *

* A foolish disguise *

John: Jordan is a star.

I think America
is gonna love Jordan.

We want to see
a little bit more

of Jordan
just because of it's like,

what else do you have,
you know what I mean?

If you ask my ex-husband,
there are many sides of me.

[ Laughter ]

I can't take it.
[ Laughs ]

He couldn't, either.

[ Laughter ]

Jordan's always been one
of my favorites on Team Reba.

The winner of this battle...
is Jordan.

And I love all these
different characters

she's willing to try on,

and that makes her
a real danger around here.

Good job, girl.

Daly: And with the help
of legendary mega mentor

Wynonna Judd, Jordan gave
a standout performance

in the three-way knockouts.

* There's a hole
in the bottle of wine *

We need that sound.

We need that pure country twang,
kind of "huh huh."

Mm-hmm.
It's just good.

* There's a hole in the bottle
leakin' all this wine *

John: Jordan is so cool.

She's such
a confident performer.

She can really sing.

Gwen: She has this
incredible voice,

and she's super, super talented.

Jordan's definitely a threat.

* ...in the bottle of wine *

Oh, that's right!

[ Plays guitar solo ]

Jordan, you're funny.
You're witty.

You're so talented.

The winner of this knockout
is Jordan.

Reba: Jordan has shown us
so much of her talent.

She just brings something new

every time she gets up
on that stage.

You did it again.
Yes, ma'am.

I can't wait to see what she's
gonna do in the playoffs.

Thank you, Reba.

* She talks to angels *

Daly: Coming up...

our coaches battle
to build their playoff teams.

John: Four chairs!

Whoo!

How do y'all do this?!

You're so talented.

* Ooh-ooh, hoo-ooh *

Daly: Whoa!

I have a plan.

If you go
with anyone else...

[ Laughter ]
...I will die.
Aah!

Daly: And then stay tuned for
never-before-seen footage...

[ Deep voice ] Is this the part
of the show

where you take questions
from the audience?

[ Laughter ]

Daly: ...and a coach performance
you won't want to miss.

Wish me luck, okay?

* We ought to take it easy *

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back to
"The Road to the Playoffs."

[ Horse whinnies ]
Hey, Nelly.

I gotta tell you --
they're so nice, Nelly.

You would love 'em.

Gwen's so sweet.

She is, too, yeah.

If they come out here
and want to pet you,

you just let 'em, okay?

You be good.

Alright, Nelly,
see you a little bit.

[ Whinnies ]

Man: 45 out, 45 seconds.

Daly: Reba continued to build
a strong playoff team

with 16-year-old country western
singer Ruby Leigh.

Welcome to Foley, Missouri.

This is our only stoplight
in our very small town,

so get a good look at it.

There's not really anything
in my town.

Like, we don't even have
a gas station.

It's just us couple
of corn cobs here in Foley.

There's not a lot
of opportunities,

so I do want to make
my town proud.

* I wanna hear
the coyotes howling *

* While the sun sets
in the west *

John: I just heard her voice
and I was like,

"This girl can really sing."

Perfect tone, perfect pitch,

and that was before
she even started yodeling.

[ Yodeling ]

**

Reba: Ruby's different,
so talented.

She's gonna stand out and above

so many of the other
contestants.

[ Yodeling ]

[ Cheers and applause ]

Got four!

Four chairs!

**

Yes!

That was so fun.

I've truly never heard anything
like what you just did.

Thank you.

You can win "The Voice,"
honestly.
Yeah.

Whoo.

Ruby, as young as you are,
being a fan of Patsy Montana --

I'm a third generation
rodeo brat,

so Patsy Montana,
a country-western singer,

not just country.

There is a difference.
Mm-hmm.

I'm very proud
of my heritage

that you're singing
this song.

I know it's my first season,

but I had to pull some tricks
out of my sleeve

just to make sure
I got hold of Ruby.

I do believe that
it would be a great idea

if we got
the audience's opinion.

Alright, audience,
what do you think?

What?!

John: What is this
nonsense?

John: Reba, up till now,
has been very sweet,

but don't be fooled --
she's playing to win.

They're cheating!
Cheater!

Cheater!

Niall: She is the
Queen of Country after all.

That's my team.

I feel so sorry
for us.

And she's showing us
exactly why.

I pick Reba.

Whoo!

How can you say no to this?

Look at this.

[ Yodels ]

[ Yodeling ]

Daly: With the help
of her coach,

Ruby brought her own
unique flair to the battles.

* Jolene, Jolene,
Jolene, Jolene *

* I'm begging of you,
please don't take my man *

I'm right here.
Look at me. Come on.

Ruby, when you're doing
the "Joleeene," just...

* Jolene *

Soften it up.
Soft landing. Got it.

* Jolene, Jolene,
Jolene, Jolene *

* I'm begging of you,
please don't take my man *

Ruby, your tone
is so beautiful.

I love how much character
your voice has.

You just feel so, like,
in possession

of your identity
as an artist.

Thank you.

The winner of this battle
is Ruby.

[ Cheers and applause ]
Ruby, congratulations!

I chose Ruby.

She's got that Patsy Cline/
LeAnn Rimes break in her voice

that I absolutely love.

Daly: In the knockouts,
Ruby got some expert advice

from mega mentor Wynonna Judd.

* Why can't you be blue
over me? *

Make sure
that your low notes

are just as healthy
as your high ones.

* Over you *

That part in your voice.

She's the master of that.

When the band starts,
you get in character.

Don't do anything that makes us
think that you're happy.

I'm sorry.
You make me happy, Reba.

[ Laughter ]

* Bluuuue *

* Oh, so lonesome for you *

* Why can't you be blue
over me? *

Ruby, everything about you
is original,

yet you remind us
of something so classic.

Incredible,
your instinct.

The winner of this knockout
round is Ruby.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Reba's team is full of
unbelievable country stars.

Ruby is gonna do so well
in this competition.

You took all the notes
that Wynonna and I gave you,

and you used them.

Daly:
Reba's next playoff artist,

country soul singer Tom Nitti,

overcame a lot
to get to this point.

Tom: In Afghanistan,

I took a mortar round
over the top of my head.

I don't remember
too much of what happened,

but I was awarded
the Purple Heart.

Being in the military
made me resilient.

* Yeaaah *

* Yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah *

* Signed, sealed, delivered *

Reba: It was a
Stevie Wonder song.

Turn around,
he's got a cowboy hat on,

and I'm like,
"Wow, didn't expect that."

Whoo!

Signed, sealed, delivered!

Tom, that is one hell
of a voice you've got.

If I was turned around
and seeing you,

I think it would've been
a different story, but --

[ Sing-song voice ]
But you didn't!

[ Laughter ]

I think that's the greatest
part about blind auditions.

You've got this image
in your mind,

and you turn around,
and nothing at all.

Daly: Tom continued to impress
his coach in the battles.

* Yeah, if you got a chance,
take it *

What?

* Take it while
you got a chance *

Tom's tone is, like,
a little bit more

kind of an alternative
country sound.

That was crazy.

He is really special.

Way to go!

Daly: And in the knockouts,

Tom wowed our coaches
with his take on a soul classic.

* Girl,
I can feel it in my bones *

* Any day you'll be gone *

* Oh, oh, baby, I'm losing you *

* Oh, my dear *

* What happened to
the love we shared? *

* I-I-I *

* I'm losing you *

Tom, that was...
[exhales] haunting.
Thank you.

I just don't even know
how Reba would choose.

The winner of this knockout
round is Jacquie.

Daly:
Jacquie, congratulations!

But it wasn't over yet
for Tom.

Daly: Whoa!

Immediately, Reba uses
her save button

for Tom Nitti!
My girl!

Yeah!

But hold on!

Reba: Tom did not deserve
to go home

because he brings
something new to the show.

I have to go with Reba

'cause she -- she -- she had
faith in me from day one.

Reba saves Tom!
Congratulations.

We'll see you
in the playoffs.

Get down here!

He's soulful and he's country,
puts the two together.

And I think everybody -- all
the audience and the coaches --

love to see that.

Thank you so much.

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back to
"The Road to the Playoffs."

Oh, my gosh.
This is tasty.

Mmm, that
is really good.

You guys are eating
my cake without me?

**

Um...yep.

Yummy.

You know what?
Move over.

We'll take care of this
right now.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Sing-song voice ]
I got the biggest piece of cake.

Wow!

Ha-ha!

Ooh.
[ Chuckles ]
Surprise!

**

Oh.
[ Chuckles ]

He's just eaten
your head.

Oh, that's --
that's good.

Pretty good?
Yeah?
Very good.

I need some of those brains.
Give me that.

[ Laughter ]

Daly: Next up,
southern rocker Jacquie Roar

seemed like a natural fit
for Team Reba.

I have a band --
Jacquie Roar Band.

We are one of three
country bands in Oregon

that's actually
doing really well.

You can help me
stir the batter.

My daughter's name
is Leilani Nova.

She's six years old.
Good.

I want her to be proud of me,
and I want to be a role model.

And I just want her to run out
on the stage and hug me

because that would be
the most ultimate win for me.

* I'm heeere *

Yes!

* You know I'm here
for the party *

* And I ain't leavin'
'til they throw me out *

Four chairs.
Yow!

That was insane.

Thank you.

I feel like I'm in
this new period of my life

where I really learned a lot
about country music.

As you can see,

I've got my award-winning
belt buckle here.

So, you know, you and I
are kind of on the same vein.

I loved everything
about Jacquie's voice.

It was strong.
It was powerful.

She's very confident.

Gwen.

[ Screams ]

[ Cheers and applause ]

When she picked Gwen,
I was, like, blown away.

Gwen: Oh, my gosh!

May be a steal down the line.

Thank you!

Daly: Jacquie brought
her "A" game in the battles

while on Team Gwen.

* I only talk to God
when I need a favor? *

* God, I need a favor *

* Yeah, yeah *

Jacquie, your voice
is so powerful

and your range
is so wonderful.

Reba, what would you do if
you were Gwen Stefani right now?

I'd take both of them.

[ Laughs ]

The winner of this battle
is Bias.

Bias, congratulations!

We got a steal!

I stole Jacquie.
It worked out great.

[ Screams ]

Whoo!

Oh, what have I done?

Like, Jacquie's so great,

but I think that Jacquie's
probably pretty happy

to be on Team Reba.

I feel, like,
jealous of Reba now.
Yeah.

Jacquie.
My God, what a voice.

She had everything in there.

I love rock 'n' roll music,
and I love country music,

and she had
a great combination.

* Girl *

Daly: And with her new coach
by her side,

Jacquie gave
a powerful performance

in the three-way knockouts.

She's got heart,
and she's got sass.

Wynonna: I want to bring it down
just a half a step,

because I got
a little bit lost

and distracted
with the high part.

I wanted to hear her down here,
because she's a badass.

She is such
the complete package.

* Don't you hang
your head low *

* Don't you lose your halo *

Wow, Jacquie!

Jacquie, golly!

You're a force of nature
on stage.

And the winner of this knockout
round is Jacquie.

Daly: Jacquie!

That means you're moving on
to the playoffs!

Reba: In the knockout rounds,
I thought it was wonderful.

I was really proud of her.

I'm excited to see what
she does next on the playoffs.

Daly:
Country artist Noah Spencer

brought some hometown heart
to the blind auditions.

Noah: Richlands is right
in the Appalachian Mountains.

There's a lot of coal mining
history.

I in part feel lucky

that I don't have to
go down into the mines.

I have this option
to play music.

The place I live has its own
really distinct sound.

People in my area don't take too
kindly to the term hillbilly,

but we say, uh, just
Appalachian music.

* I'm damned if I do
and I'm damned if I don't *

[ Cheers and applause ]

Hell yeah!
Oh, he's so good.

* To you, I'm just a man;
to me, you're all I am *

* Where the hell
am I supposed to go? *

Reba: I loved everything
about your performance --

your tone,
your gravel-ness of your voice,

and I would love
to be your coach.

Honestly, that was
such a good performance,

and just -- I'm already thinking
of future songs down the line.

I think I'm gonna go
with Niall.

Oh, my gosh!

I was really disappointed when
Noah chose Niall instead of me

'cause he is a folksy
country singer.

Hopefully, I was going
to get to steal him back.

Daly: In the knockouts,
Reba finally got the chance

she'd been waiting for
with Noah.

* I've got one last thing
to do *

* One more mile
before I'm through *

* Casting off
these earthly chains *

* Going where
there's no more pain *

* I will make my way
across the fields of cotton *

[ Cheers and applause ]
So good!

Noah, you have something
that is very, very rare.

You're so authentic.

Reba: Noah, the thing
I miss most

is sitting on the back porch
of my home,

and you made me feel
that warmth.

The winner of this knockout
is Huntley.

Daly: Huntley,
congratulations!

[ Cheers and applause ]

Whoa, John Legend!

Another steal
from Queen Reba!

Reba: Noah's song
that he did on the knockout,

I got very emotional.

He made me homesick
with that song,

and that's why I wanted him
on my team.

Noah, I wanted you
from the very beginning.

I love your country music
style of singing.

I love the gravel
in your voice.

Dang, I'm getting
choked up again.

Oh, no.
I don't know -- I just --
I want you on my team.

[ Chuckles ]

I'm going with Reba here.

Daly: There it is!
Queen Reba steals Noah!

Way to go, Noah.

Thank you so much.

You're very welcome.

Noah found a new home
on Team Reba.

Nobody deserves it more.

What a great guy.
What a great voice.

And Reba is gonna be
an amazing coach for him.

That was sweet.

Reba:
I have five amazing artists.

We have a great chance
of winning,

and I think Team Reba
is the one to beat.

We're winners.

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back to
"The Road to the Playoffs."

Now let's take a look
at how reigning champion coach

Niall Horan built
his playoff team.

[ Whistle blows ]

The champ is back.
It's Season 24.

The reigning champion
is back to win again.

The champ is here!
[ Whistle blows ]

For an Irishman,
he's quite arrogant.
You know what I'm saying?

Like, he just keeps
bringing up his win.

Oh, this thing? I didn't even
realize I was holding it.

Just excited to win.

This is my eighth season,
though,

so I feel like
this is my show now.

No, well, I won the last one,
so it's my show.

Oh, man.

I'm gonna make sure
that everybody knows

that I am
the reigning champ.

This is only my second season,
but I did win last season,

so I wasn't gonna come in here

backing down from John Legend,
"the veteran."

I was coming in swinging

to make sure I'd come home
with the trophy yet again.

**

* We are the champions,
my friends *

* And we'll keep on fighting
'til the end *

Are you serious?

John: Niall brought out
a homemade championship belt.

It looked like he may have
put it together himself.

**

It's not anything official.

Like, we don't have belts
at "The Voice."

If we did,
I would already have one.

Yeah, he won last season.

He uses it.
He says it all the time.

We got tired of it.

"Yeah, I'm a winner.
I won last time."

Like, "Okay, we heard
that you -- you won, uh-huh."

So? I've won, too.

Do you hear me saying it
every five minutes? No.

* Of the wooooooorld *

I won this competition
last season.

Beginner's luck.
The girl I won it with
last year,

she was a nervous wreck
in her first audition

and went on
to win the thing.
I wasn't aware.

John: Niall's
the reigning champion,

but all the people that he beat
are not on this season.

We'll see how it goes
for young Niall.

I heard a rumor about a winner's
room here at "The Voice."

Do you know where it is?
Mnh-mnh.

I'm enjoying being
reigning champ,

and, uh, try and win
the thing again.

As high as you've gone,

the more distance
you have to fall.

Oh, no.

[ Laughs ]

Daly: The reigning champ
had to fight hard

for his first playoff artist,
New Jersey native Mara Justine.

Mara: I do have
a very big family.

There's never a dull moment.

What are you doing?

Cooking on a Segway.

Being Italian,
when we're cooking,

we're always playing music.

And Mom, that little lady
can cook.

She actually found out
that she had breast cancer

about a month before I knew
I was gonna come and audition

for "The Voice."

Her strength
inspires me so much.

[ Chuckling ]
Don't make me cry.

And I think with everything that
my mom is going through now,

music, it's my medicine.

* Beyond the yellow
brick roooad *

Oh, my God.

[ Cheers and applause ]

I hope you noticed
I was the first one

who turned for you.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Fanfare plays ]

What is happening?

[ Cheers and applause ]

Gwen: Oh,
what an idiot!

You want to sing
a song together?

That would be fun.
Yeah.

* I give you all of me *

Get away, get away.
[ Laughter ]

This has been quite
entertaining for all of us.

Who do you pick
as your coach?

I'm gonna go
with John.

Yes!

Reba: Mara, we all wanted her
really, really bad.

So talented, so rounded.

We didn't have
a chance.

Do not get me started on Mara.

That's a sleepless night.

I thought the finger
was gonna work.

Heartbreaking.

[ Sighs ]

Daly: Niall finally got
another chance with Mara

in the three-way knockouts.

* I can't liiive *

* If living is without you *

* I can't liiive *

[ Cheers and applause ]

Wow!

When I'm watching you, it's like
I can't keep my eyes off you

'cause your face is doing,
your hands are doing.

You're very emotive.

The winner of this knockout
is Kaylee.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Kaylee,
congratulations!

Whoa,
we got two steals!

Gwen Stefani, Niall Horan!

Oh, my gosh.

When I think of who's great
on "The Voice" this season,

you're the first one
that comes to mind.

I'm gonna go
with Niall.

Oh!

Daly: Niall Horan!

He's been crying
about losing Mara.

**

Redemption.

He finally got to have Mara
on his team.

You are so good.
You are so good.

I'm a little bit happy for him.

You were wonderful.

I think Niall definitely has
the advantage with young girls.

I feel like it's
a little bit unfair.

What a performance
you put in.

That's phenomenal.
This guy is gonna propose to her
sooner or later.

Here you go.

[ Laughter ]

No, I need that.
I need that.

Niall.
Niall.

Niall.

Aww.

Niall.
Yes!

It's very clear, especially,

that the young ladies
love Niall Horan.

I'm wearing a little
Niall necklace because --

Gwen: Oh, God.
Oh, my God.

I'm a Directioner.
I don't know.

This is the rest of your life.
Don't waste it.

I honestly think
that Gwen thinks

I have cooties
or something.

Are you a
One Direction fan?

I sure was.
Was?!

Am! Sorry, sorry!

These girls were just girls

at the time they fell in love
with One Direction.

Niall still has
a hold on them.

Oh, my God.
I love you so much.

[ Chuckles ]

Don't get distracted
by your puppy eyes

and your heart.
They're just so blue. I can't...

[ Laughter ]

Like,
you don't want a coach

that's gonna make you get,
like, distracted.

You know what I'm saying?

Like, every time
he says the word "love,"

like, you're gonna be like,
"Oh!"

You know, they go,
"Oh, Niall, oh, Niall!"

[ Scoffs ]

I love Niall.
He is so sweet.

If I had a daughter,
I would want her to marry him.

He is so cute.
Oh, my gosh.

Ooh!

Daly: Niall found another
strong female vocalist

to bring with him to
the playoffs in Alexa Wildish.

Alexa: In 2021,

I ended up living in a van
for like a full year.

I feel so honored that
this is my backyard right now.

Living in nature,

I feel like the trees
helped me to write songs.

Oh, I sound like such a hippie.

[ Laughs ]

* I know it's right *

[ Cheers and applause ]

* And the songbirds *

* Keep singing
like they know the score *

* And I love you,
I love you, I love you *

* Like never before *

Ohh.
Look at that,
four chairs!

Wow!
Wow!

I've sat here
and I've waited for you.

Oh, ooh.
Oh, come on.

Christine McVie and Stevie Nicks
are half the reason

why I even picked up a guitar
and started writing songs.

Team Niall.
Yes! Come on!

Whoo!

Gwen: I think that Alexa
won over all the coaches

'cause she has, like,
a point of view

that's just, like,
an artist's point of view.

And she was singing
truly from her heart.

Come on!

Daly:
With help from her coach,

Alexa brought a moving
performance to the battles.

How do you stay
in the heart of a song

while there's all these,
like, new things?

I always try and, like, create
a bubble around myself...
Okay. Yeah.

...knowing that there are other
people and cameras everywhere.

Try and not overthink.

* Don't wanna lie here *

* But you can learn to *

Alexa,
you're from another era.

Classic,
but then so powerful.

The winner of this battle
is Alexa.

Alexa!
Congratulations!

You're moving on
to the knockouts!

Reba: Alexa had a maturity,
a roundness,

a quality in her voice
and her performance.

I really wanted her
on my team.

* Do you believe in
life after love? *

Niall: Alexa has been
one of my favorites

since the very first day
I seen her.

Alexa, nobody does
what you just did anymore.

It was perfect.
Perfectly done.
Thank you.

The winner of this knockout
is Alexa.

Alexa!

She's so unique.

She makes you feel like
you're in a time capsule.

She's, like,
a one-in-a-billion talent.

Thank you so much.
You were so good.

And that makes me so excited

for her future in the show
and afterwards.

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly:
Welcome back to "The Voice"

at Universal Studios Hollywood.

This season, Niall proved

that he has what it takes
to win.

He also proved that he has
what it takes to talk...a lot.

I would love to work
with you on my team.

I think that was
such a brave song choice.

It makes me so excited to see
what you would do in the future.

Just, there's mad stuff going on
in my head right now.

Sounds like a lot of talk
about things

without
specifying anything.

Niall rambles.

Okay, you just talk and blah,
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

That's how I was gonna
start my pitch, actually.

We used to cover
that song.

He just talks more
than any of us.

You know what
Johnny would like?

Sing that real deep stuff
and then just...

I think that Niall
has a talking problem.

Those songs are quite,
in ways...

[ Clears throat ]

Wrap it up here.
Wrap it up.

[ Laughs ]
Alright, Reba.

He's saying things, but it's,
like, disparate sentences.

There's probably a guy
who wants the last word.

This would -- This would be --
We'd be really good.

Seem like
a really nice guy.

People will fall in love
with that at home.

* Lord, I was born
a ramblin' man*

Oh! Hey!

[ Chuckling ] Ooh.
Anyway, continue.

Oh, no,
that was steep.

You got to do
absolutely anything

to make sure you get artists
on your team.

I can already hear
your record.
Okay, you need
to cut it short,

or I'm not gonna
endorse you anymore.

* I was born
a ramblin' man *

Keep it short.
I'm very curious
to see who --

Hey, John.
Sorry to interrupt.

Excuse me?
Sorry to interrupt.

It's Ramblin' Man.
I just wanted to get
the last word in.

Daly: Let's see how
Niall's strategy worked

on this next powerhouse --
Huntley.

Huntley:
Watch that trash can.

Whoo!

Raising two kids
can be difficult.

Michael, look.
But they're my world.

I just want to show them
how to love

and really chase their dreams.

I didn't have that.

My dad kind of disappeared
when I was like 8 years old.

And when I found music,
I feel like I found my place.

* She talks to angels *

* They call her out
by her name *

He got it!
Dad did it! Whoo!

Gwen: You sound like
you've been singing forever.

You're just very comfortable.

You can tell it comes
from -- from in there.

There's like --
I've been waiting a long time
for this, so I appreciate that.

Oh, my God.
You're so cute.
No, man, 100% brilliant.

My 6-year-old daughter
is back there,

and I would really love --
Please bring her up.

Please bring her up.
Bring her up!

We've got
to pick a coach.

Does she have a say
in this decision?

[ Laughs ]

Niall.
Yes!

I love Huntley so much.

Whoo!

His voice is so big and strong,
and it's got so much character.

Reba: Huntley is
a force of nature onstage.

I wouldn't think all of that
could come out

of the voice of a Viking.

Daly:
Huntley got some great advice
from his coach in the battles.

* Hold my hand *

* I want you
to hold my hand *

Niall:
Don't be afraid to reach out

and give a bit of grit
on some of the ends of notes.

Coach Niall --
he has such a good ear,

and he knows how to
articulate it very well.

I really feel like
he's gonna help me

find what brand I am
and where I fit.

* I wanna love you
the best that *

* The best that I can *

Yeah.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Huntley, like, I'm worried
that you might win this show.

The winner of this battle
is Huntley.

Daly: Huntley,
congratulations!

You're moving on
to the knockouts

for Team Niall!

John:
Huntley is just so special.

I feel like he may be
the best artist on Team Niall.

It's just hard to go against
Huntley. Huntley is so good.

I'm going to
the three-way knockout!

Let's go, Team Niall!

* I'm wanted *

* Wanted *

* Dead or alive *

Every time he steps
on the stage,

he never, ever
puts a foot wrong.

And, as a coach,
that's exactly what I want.

I'm shocked that you're not
already on the radio.

The winner is Huntley.

He can give emotion.
He can tell a story.
He's got a great voice.

He's gonna go
really far in this.
I appreciate you.

Daly: Now let's see how aspiring
pop artist Claudia B.

made her way to Team Niall.

Hi, everyone!

At 14 years old,
I was in my first rock band.

I studied jazz in college.

As soon as I graduated,
I moved to Nashville.

I gig at hotels,
some restaurants,

but this is, by far, the biggest
opportunity I've gotten.

* Oh, why? *

* Oh, why? *

That was such
a brave song choice.

It makes me so excited to see
what you would do in the future.

I feel like
I really understand

where you're coming from
as an artist,

and we could do a lot
of great things together.

John Legend.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Yes!

Claudia B. --
that was very unique.

I could hear the blues
and jazz in her voice.

And I was so jealous.

Yes!

Daly: Claudia brought
the house down in the battles.

* The only boy
who could ever teach me *

* Was the son of
a preacher man *

* He was *

* He was *

* Oh, yes, he was *

Whoo!

How do y'all do this?!

You're so talented.
You're so young.

I'm just --
I don't get it.

[ Laughs ]

The winner of this battle
is Mara.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Daly:
We've got a steal!
No, no, no!

John:
Claudia's showing us all the
different layers of her artistry

and her musicianship,

and Niall is making me
very jealous that I let her go.

Thank you so much.
I'm so excited.
That was so good.

I'm so excited. Thank you.
Your voice is incredible.

Daly: And Claudia showed
a softer side in the knockouts.

* Heart is drenched in wine *

Daly: Whoa, whoa!
Gwen: Oh, my gosh!
Oh, my gosh!

We got a save!

And a steal!

I feel like
I really understand

the style of music
that you want to do,

and I feel like I can
really help you get there.

Today we found out the record
you are gonna make.

Mm-hmm.
Please
just stay with me.

I haven't had enough time
with Niall,

and I'm gonna stay
on Niall.

I'm so happy
that I got to save Claudia B.

She has come on so much

since her first audition
up until this point,

and I feel like
she's getting going now

because we found her lane.

Daly: Niall's next artist
came a long way

to make it to the playoffs.

Nini: I'm from Georgia.
[ Buzzer ]

[ Laughs ]
The country of Georgia.

Georgia has my heart
and my soul.

I have my whole family there.

We didn't really have,
like, electricity

or, like, hot water.

When I was 16, I decided
that I'd rather be a musician

than do something else.

I moved to New York City.
I didn't know where to go.

So I actually ended up
being homeless for a few weeks.

So I was just in the subway.
I slept in the train.

[ Sniffles ]

It was okay.
It wasn't terrible.

But I just didn't want
to do it anymore.

I want to make it
so my mom can say that

like, you know,
"She went for a reason."

* I see red *

* Red *

* Ohhh, red *

Sing!

* A gun to your head *

* Head, to your head *

[ Cheers and applause ]

Whoo!

[ Cheers and applause ]

That was the best vocal
of the day,

without a shadow
of a doubt.

You've already given us,
like, a Grammys performance.

Who do you pick
as your coach?

Niall.
Yes!

Nini is so good, dynamic.

Her voice can do
just about anything she wants.

She's got style.
She's got a point of view.

She's very special.

Daly: During the battles,
Nini continued to prove

she was a force
to be reckoned with.

It's a heart-wrencher.
Nini: Yeah.

So make sure
you're telling that story

in your individual
verses.

* Lost inside *

* Adorable illusion
and I cannot hide *

* I'm the one you're using *

* Please don't push me aside *

* We could have
made it cruising *

* Yeah, riding high *

* On love's
true bluish light *

Oh, my God!
That was so good!

Niall is beating
his chair up.

That was incredible. You sung
the roof off this place.

We've got to know
who won this battle.

Nini.

Nini moving on
to the knockouts.

Gwen: I think Nini
is really incredible.

She has crazy stage presence.
She has attitude.

I think that she's definitely
gonna be a threat to everybody,

and she's for sure
going to the finale.

Daly: Nini went to new heights
in the three-way knockouts.

* When you mess with us *

[ Cheers and applause ]

It must be so fun to be you
and be able to sing like that.

When you hit
those high notes,

there's this, like, openness
and roundness to your voice

that is, like, stunning.

The winner of this knockout
is Nini.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Nini -- What she did,
it was just incredible.

[ Laughs ]

The tone of her voice
is so rocky but pure.

She can take on any song
and smash it.

But I feel like Nini is only
getting started right now.

Heading into the playoffs,

I've got so many great
storytellers on Team Niall.

And once again,
Team Niall is the team to beat.

It's the best team.

And the winner is gonna be
on Team Niall this year.

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back.

Coach Gwen Stefani proved
right away

that she was hungry
for another "Voice" victory.

From the beginning,
Gwen was really stepping up.

She refused to back down,
and she's so ready to win.

Welcome to my show,
you guys.
Yeah, uh -- uh?

Yeah! Well, Blake told me
that I'm the star now.

I'm gonna fight hard.

John: Alright.
I'm winning.

Alright, Gwen.

She's one of the greatest
rock/pop singers

of many, many generations.

But she's a silent assassin.

She's so sweet, so lovely.

But when she wants an artist,
she is very, very good.

I've done all of the stuff
that you want to do.

I want to mother you.

She gives them
that great mama bear pitch

where she'll tell them,
"I want to help you.

I've been a girl
in this business."

I've lived your dream already
in so many ways,

as a female artist.

Let's get real here.
100%, you have to pick me.

Not only is Gwen
cute as a button...

* I love you *

...she's funny.

Cali girls!

[ Laughter ]
...and she's witty...

You're gonna go with
a blonde or a redhead.
It's, like -- I don't know.

[ Laughter ]

But she also knows her stuff.

Gwen:
I could help you have

your star shine
by yourself in front.

I think that I'm good
at helping people

find the actual emotion
of the song.

Reba: She comes in with
what she can do

to help coach and everything,
and I said,

"Well, shoot,
I'd pick her, too."

I'm so happy!

California girls.
They stick together.
Yeah.

Gwen!

Look what we brought you.
What did you bring me?

We brought you corn
and our peaches.
Peaches?!

See? Not only is she cute,
talented, and a good coach,

she brings you gifts.

Daly:
Let's meet the first artist

Gwen is bringing
to the playoffs --

19-year-old Oklahoma City native
Tanner Massey.

Tanner: My parents always
told me that I could sing,

so they pushed me,
and it all started to take off.

* In all the good times,
I find myself... *

This group called Acapop! KIDS

got like 15 million views.

I have not had something,
like, that crazy...

until now.
[ Chuckles ]

* Was there something
I could've said *

* To make it all stop hurting? *

* It kills me that your mind *

* Could make you feel
so worthless *

* So *

* Before you gooooo *

[ Cheers and applause ]
Oh, my gosh!

I love that tone
in your voice.

The dream is just
so alive in you.

I feel like I'm talking
to, you know,

a younger version
of myself.

There's a little
storyteller

that we heard
in your performance.

I pick Niall.

Gwen: Tanner --
he went with Niall.

He's just made the wrong choice.
It's fine.

Tanner, I'm a mom.
I forgive you.

Daly: Gwen got another chance
with Tanner in the battles.

* ...she wants you
to see *

* She hides like a child,
but she's always a woman to me *

Beautiful!
When Tanner started,

I was like, "Wait a minute."

I am dead in love with you.

You are just magical.

Niall: This is one of the
battles where I've been, like,

really battling with myself,

and the winner of the battle
is Lennon.

Lennon, congratulations!

John: He's so talented.
He's got charisma.

I think Niall's gonna regret
letting Tanner go.

Tanner is available to steal.

And we've got a steal!

We've got a second steal!

John also tried to steal him,
but mnh-mnh.

Listen, this is my second,
like, beg.

I choose Gwen.
Oh, my God! Yeah!

Tanner's mine.

Yes!
I'm so excited!

He's just an incredible,
beautiful singer

with such an identity
of vocal style.

Daly: Tanner continued to hone
his skills in the knockouts.

You're saying
what we're feeling.

That takes a lot of talent,
you know...

Yes, it does.
...to be able to hop
into somebody else's song

and, like,
make it believable.

* I need somebody now *

Whoo!
Niall: Tanner, I made a decision

that, sadly, you had
to leave Team Niall.

And, obviously,
there's regrets.

The winner of this knockout
is gonna be Tanner.

I think he's gonna be
quite the formidable opponent

on Team Gwen.
That was so good.

Daly: Let's see how
this next artist, Kara Tenae,

drove Gwen to hit her button
in the blinds.

Kara: Trying to make it
in the music industry,

you need jobs where you can
make your own schedule.

* Are you pickin' up my vibe? *

I was a rideshare driver.

And, one day, Uber asked me
to be a part of a campaign.

Hi! I'm Julia.
Oh, my G--

I know who you are!
Oh, my...

Kara: Julia Michaels
gets in the back seat.

* Could you be
a new L-O-V-E? *

After high school,
I started a girl group.

After maybe like a year,

we decided to go
our separate ways.

* Biddy-da-dum, boo'd up *

* And my heart go be-da-duhh,
boo'd up *

* Biddy-da-dum *

* It just won't stop, it goes *

* Boo'd up *
Hey!

You have so much style.
You got swag.

You got personality.
Thank you.

You got stage presence.
You have it all.

Gwen!

[ Squeals ]
Aah! Oh, my God!

Reba: Oh, Lordy.
Kara is so good.

Great range, wonderful vocals.

It's gonna be fun
watching her grow.

Shoot, if I could do
those runs like her,

I'd put an album out.

"Reba Does the Runs."

"Reba Does the Runs."

Daly: With Gwen's help...

Give me just a little bit
more body,

so that when you walk off
the stage, they're like,

"Oh, my gosh,"
they can't forget you.

Daly: ...Kara brought her unique
style to the battles.

* Have you
ever, ever, ever? *

[ Vocalizing ]

When it comes
to technical singers,

this is definitely
the best battle,

without a shadow of a doubt.
Thank you.

The winner of this battle
is Kara.

Kara is one of those artists

that when she steps out
on stage,

you just have to add
the audience in,

and she comes to life.

* It's too late,
and I can't wait *

* For you to be gone *

Your swag, your attitude.
Yes!

Bring it!

Kara,
you won this knockout.

Kara:
I'm just so grateful.

I'm going to playoffs.
Let's go, Team Gwen.

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back.

This season,
Gwen was determined

to land unique country artists,

even if that meant going up
against the queen herself.

I'm in this new period
of my life

where I really learned
a lot about country music.

Gwen and I did go head to head
on a lot of artists.

The queen is gonna
come beat me right now.
John: Uh-oh. Uh-oh.

Everything that I try to,
like, pitch,

she's done it as well,
but 10 times more.

[ Laughter ]
Such pressure!

It is a lot of pressure.
I want you to like me.

Like, hello!
[ Laughter ]

They just kill each other
with kindness.

It's the fight to see
who is the sweetest person.

I'm married to Blake Shelton.
I'm gonna name-drop right now.

[ Laughter ]

Gwen's trying to pull
the Blake card.

Gwen:
Obviously, song choices,

you know, I could just
be like, "Blake..."

[ Laughter ]
Pulling that card now,
really?

She's trying
to pull the Oklahoma card.

Wait, I live in Oklahoma, too,
Mac, just so you know.

Kind of a transplant,
but we claim her.

She's trying to pull
the country singer card.

I've had two #1 country hits
on country radio, so...

[ Laughter ]
I've had more than two.

She has not won
"The Voice."

Oh! She has not
won "The Voice."

She was just
absolutely shameless.

**

Who did that
to you, Reba?

Gwen did.

Mama Gwen...

What?!
...you know, she's kind,

but I think she's crafty
as well.

You did that?!
I'm sorry!
[ Chuckles ]

It's been amazing how much
Gwen has come out on top.

It's just a game, okay?

[ Laughter ]

It's not a game,
and I'm gonna throw a fit.

No, I'm not.
[ Laughter ]

I love ya.

Daly: Gwen's determination
paid off

when she battled Reba
for country pop singer Bias.

Bias: I gig at Champy's
Fried Chicken restaurant

in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

That's real country, ain't it?
[ Chuckles ]

Musically, I've grown so much
in the past year

being a worship pastor,

and I think
being a worship pastor

shows you how to communicate
with people

and learn how to connect.

**

* I saw the light in a sunrise *

* Sittin' back in a 40
on the muddy river side *

* Gettin' baptized
in holy water and shine *

* With the dogs runnin' *

I mean, you got the approval
from the Queen of Country...

And the Queen
of Shelton.

[ Laughter ]

Gwen: I think it's just
really exciting

to meet a young
country guy

that has that much
spark and energy,

and I would love
to work with you.

My name is Gwen Stefani.

Oh, my gosh.

No, wait, wait.
My name is Gwen Shelton.

[ Laughs ]
Oh!

I'm gonna have
to go with Gwen.

What?!
Are you serious?!

Gwen: I could not believe
that he picked me.

I fought, fought, fought,
and I won.

Are you serious?

I beat the queen.

It was the ring.

I-I just knew
I had him.

Bias -- Unbelievable.

He's so good.

I think Blake's spirit
is hovering in the room.

[ Groans ]

Niall:
He's here somewhere.

Where are you?
He's hovering.

Daly: Bias showed Gwen he was
here to stay during his battle.

It's almost like you're unaware
of your own weirdness

in a good way.

There's something about the way

that you work your body,
it's very you,

but you don't have to go as hard

as you think you do.
Right.

* I don't know what to say
by the time I fold my hands *

I think he naturally
has star quality.

He also is just, like,
a real solid singer.

I think he just has
a really beautiful tone.

* So tell me *

* Who the hell am I *
Yeah!

Whoa!
Bias, you're up there
just bouncing around.

People sometimes
will look at you and forget

how good of a singer
you actually are

just because they're like,
"I can't keep my eyes off him."

Bias, you're just so weird
and, like, cool.

And I'm gonna say the winner
of this battle is Bias.

Bias, congratulations!

I love you.

Bias is so good.

He's so charismatic,
so fun to watch,

and he's a really,
really good singer.

Gwen:
Your vocal is so great,

but you don't even really
pay attention to it.

You're just
paying attention to you,

and that's what an artist is.

The winner of this knockout
is Bias.

[ Cheers and applause ]

He's definitely a threat.

Daly: Let's meet
Gwen's next playoff artist.

Rudi: Here we are
at 911 Auto Centers.

My dad runs a body shop.
It's a family-owned business.

What are we doing now?
My job?

I'm doing your job
since you're busy.

I'm sorry. I'm almost done.
I'll be back in a second.

I'm Rudi. I'm 28 years old.
I'm from San Antonio, Texas.

And your girl washes cars
for a living.

[ Engine starts ]

I started working in the shop
six, seven months ago.

911 Auto Centers.
How can I help you?

I've taken a step back
from music, and it is hard.

This is literally the chance
that I have been waiting for.

* To live my life
the way I want *

* To say and do
whatever I please *

* Ohhhhh *

* Ohhhhhhhhhhh *

Whoo!

So good!

You're gonna go
all the way, in my eyes.

It would be a dream, you know,
to work with a voice like that.

Thank you so much.
Oh, my God.

It's really amazing to hear
someone that is so in control.

I think I need
to be your coach.

I think I'm gonna have to go
with my girl Gwen.

Oh!
[ Cheers and applause ]

Thank you!

Rudi can sing
in this R&B style

with range and strength.

Wow! Wow, wow, wow,
wow, wow!

You know, Rudi won the battle.

And during the knockouts,
she did great.

* To the city *

* Ooh, you got me *

* Smokin' out the window *

* Ooh, hoo, hoo *

I just had to be
really strategic

on how I was going
to keep my team together.

Give it up for Rudi,
ladies and gentlemen!

Whoa!

It made me feel really bad
to think that Rudi,

for that split second,
thought, for some reason,

that I was gonna
send her home.

I have a plan.

I feel like, if you go
with anyone else...

[ Laughter ]
...I will die.
Aah!

I'm gonna stick with Gwen.

Me and Rudi,
we're like that.

Daly: Gwen's final
playoff artist, Stee,

comes from a musical family.

Stee: My family, we have
an incredible restaurant.

It's called Kind of Blue.

My band and I,
we perform every weekend.

My sister's in the band,
and we are Stee and Ear Candy.

You know, we kind of candy
to your ears.

You know what I'm saying?

* But, sugar, yes, please *

* Won't you come
and put it down on me *

* I'm right here,
'cause I need *

* Little love
and little sympathy *
There! Let's go!

With Stee,
I turned for him in the blinds.

I'd love to work with you.
You're so gifted.

Thank you, Gwen.

John won.

John Legend.

Welcome to Team Legend.

He ended up
winning his battle,

but then the knockouts
come along.

* I had to live *

God!
* I had to leave *

* I had to live *

* I had to leave *

John:
Stee was incredible.

Pitch perfect
on a really difficult song.

* Pretty wings, pretty wings *

Stee is top, top, top tier.

One of the greatest singers
on this season.

* Yeah, ooh, ooh *

Whoo-hoo-hoo!
[ Cheers and applause ]

John: I was hoping Gwen
would use her steal on Stee,

and I was so happy that she did.

Daly: Wow! Immediately,
a steal from Gwen Stefani!

I don't know how -- I don't know
how -- but I got my chance.

I'm so excited!
Gwen, you are the best.

So now Stee's on Team Gwen,

just as he always
should have been.

Going into the playoffs,
I have five incredible artists.

My team is so strong.

We're the ones to beat,

and I think I might have
the winner on my team this year.

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back to
"The Road to the Playoffs."

Let's see what strategies

veteran "Voice" coach
John Legend used

to shape his team
for the playoffs this season.

**

So I'm back to reclaim
my "Voice" chair.

It's good to be back home.

I still want to win.
I want to beat Reba.

I'm gonna go with John.
Yeah!

I want to beat Gwen.

John.
Yeah!

I want to beat Niall.

John Legend.

[ John laughs ]

Yes!

I'm back.
I haven't lost my touch.

I'm back. I'm back.
No, no, no, no, no.

[ Laughter ]
John's the veteran.

Now that Blake's gone,

I am the most experienced coach
on "The Voice."

I guess. I guess he's
the veteran, other than me.

You can call me the OG,
the King of "The Voice" now.

Think it's safe to say
that Mr. Legend

is the king of
the four-chair turn.

Four chairs!

I have lost count
of how many four-chair turns --

I mean, I have a lot
of four-chair turns this season.

Wow!

Let me have a chance!

John is the professor
of "The Voice,"

and he's a real competitor.

I was the first one
who turned for you.

They just didn't have
the foresight that I had.

He's just so smart.
He's just so smart about music.

You can do all the runs.
You can do all those things.

But your voice has
this gentleness, as well.

It's so sweet.
It's got such a honey to it.

I think my biggest
competition is John.

Have you ever sung
one of my songs before?

Of course.
[ Laughter ]

But you don't want
to do it now, right?

[ Laughter ]

I'm gonna go with John.
Yes!

Living up to
the old namesake.

I have to go with
another Legend -- John.

He is a bit
of a legend around here.

Daly: John's first
playoff artist, Lila Forde,

brought her unique spirit
to the blinds.

Back home, I had
a really spiritual upbringing.

My parents, they have multiple
retreats throughout the year.

It's really, really special.

You can be in the woods

and feel the energy of the trees
and the nature.

But I did have to move to LA
to follow this dream of mine.

* Well, I'm near the end and I *

* But I *

* Babe, I just ain't got
the time *

[ Cheers and applause ]

* Once more, I'm wasted and I *

* I can't find my way home *

[ Cheers and applause ]

Whoo!

Everything felt completely
under your control.
Yeah.

And I could even tell that it
was you playing before I turned

because it felt like the artist
was playing and not the band.

Mr. John Legend over here.

Gosh!
Yes!

I'm so sad.
I'm a super fan of Lila.

She, to me,
is a star in the making.

She's so unique.

Welcome to Team Legend.

John: She's such
an interesting voice,

and I think all the coaches
were taken aback

just watching her do the
interesting things that she did.

Daly: Lila continued to impress
in the battles

when she went against
another four-chair turn,

Jarae Womack.

* ...with his song *

* Telling my whole life *

* With his words *

* Killing me softly *

* With his song *

Lila, you have
a unique magic

to the way that you
express yourself musically.

The winner of this battle
is Lila.

Lila, congratulations!

John: Lila has been so amazing
throughout this competition.

She knows who she is.

She's got that classic voice
with some cool runs, cool ideas.

She's such a great musician.
I love working with Lila.

If you could
time your last vocal

so it's kind of landing right
when the end of that note is...

Yeah.
...that'd be lovely.

She's so good.
* I've seen lonely times *

* When I could not
find a friend *

What the hell?

* But I always thought
that I'd see you again *

Niall: Hey!

I think that Lila Forde

is the best on Team Legend.

Every musical deviation

you made from
the original version

was just so sharp
and clever and cool.

She is so unique.

Lila Forde!

She can tell a story.

It feels like she should be
on my team.

I know you're all thinking that.

Daly: Let's meet John's
next playoff artist,

California country singer
Kristen Brown.

Let's see how fast
we can get this thing going.

**

First rule of being on a boat
is to hold on to your hat.

My dad's a professional
bass fisherman.

Oh, yeah.

Turn a chair!

Growing up, he was big
on playing the Loretta Lynns,

Merle Haggard,
Willie Nelson.

[ Screams, laughs ]

Music's always
kind of been my thing.

I sing country
with a little bit of an edge.

I write all my own songs,
hire all the musicians,

book my own gigs.

It's been an amazing process,

and now I'm here.

* Blown awa-ay-ay-ayyy *

* Blown awaaay *

Ohhh!

[ Applause ]

I thought your performance
was lovely.

I especially loved
the second half.

I thought you have
a really interesting tone.

You're like a diamond
in the rough.

Who do you pick
as your coach?

Gwen.
What?! What?! What?!

Upset victory!

You're crazy!
Thank you!

John:
Kristen is so talented.

She's a great, great singer.
I love Kristen's style.

Daly: In the battles,
Kristen proved

she has what it takes
to move on.

* Don't give up
on your faith *

* Love comes to those
who believe it *

Wow.
* And that's
the way it is *

Yes! I'm so proud of you!

So good!

You showed your skill,

which is off the charts,
you guys.

I mean, this girl can sing.
Crazy.

The winner of this battle
is Kristen.

Kristen is moving on
to the knockouts!

And in the knockouts,

Kristen finally made her way
to Team Legend.

* This one's for the girls *

* Who've ever had
a broken heart *

* Who've wished upon
a shooting star *

Kristen, you're so good.

Even just the little twang
you had in your voice,

it sounded amazing.

Gwen: You get
so attached to people,

and you don't want anyone
to go home.

Kara,
you won this knockout.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Daly: That's a steal!

John:
Every once in a while,

I'll get a country artist
on my team.

And it's unexpected.

Kristen's so good.
She's so gifted.

I can't wait
to work with Kristen.

Welcome to Team Legend.
Thank you.

[ Whispers ]
Legend.

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back.

Let's see how John
continued to build

his playoff team
with Kaylee Shimizu.

Kaylee: I'm from the island
of Oahu,

and one of our favorite beaches
is Ko Olina.

I'm here at Ko Olina's
secret beach.

It's really pretty here.

Such beautiful palm trees.

I started singing
at the age of seven,

and lately, I've been busking
on the side of Waikiki strip.

I'm fresh out of high school,

and I don't have any plans
for college at the moment,

so, like, this is the biggest
opportunity of my life.

* Once there was a way *

* To get back home *

[ Vocalizing ]

Your voice was just
dazzling.

Did you grow up
singing?

I grew up singing karaoke,
Filipino family.

Can I bring them up?
Bring them up here.

Come on! Whoo!

Hello.

So everybody sings?

Not me.
Not Dad.

Not me.

You just had
so much confidence

delivering these
impossible notes,

and I want
to work with you.

I choose John as my coach.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Kaylee may be
the most gifted singer

in this competition.

She's so young.
She's so special.

She's still got to figure out
what her artist identity is.

But I'm here for the journey.

Yes!

Reba:
Kaylee was unbelievable.

Little, ol' bitty firecracker.

So John's got a jewel
right there.

Daly: In the battles,

John helped Kaylee connect
on a deeper level.

When she's like...

She's sad.
She's hurting.
Yeah, she's sad
and she's hurt.

Think about, "How do I convey
this emotion

to this person
that's hurt me?"
Right.

* When we were together *

* You gave me your word *

* But that didn't matter *

Kaylee, the control
that you have over your runs

is phenomenal.

And we've seen again

why that was a four-chair turn
in the first place.

John: Kaylee,
as a vocalist,

there's just very few people
on the planet

that can sing
with the level of ability

and the level of gift
that you have.

The winner of this battle
is Kaylee.

[ Screams ] Oh, my God!

John: Kaylee literally
can sing anything.

Her range is incredible.

The power in her voice,
the soul in her voice,

and then she hits
these incredibly high notes

like it's nothing.

She can do anything.

Daly: And Kaylee's
knockout performance

proved that
she's a real contender.

* Yoooooooooou *

17 years old.

Kaylee had one of
the most enormous voices

that came out of a small person
I've ever heard in my life.

That you're hitting
those high no--

It's -- It's -- It's
actually insane.

The winner of this knockout
is Kaylee.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Daly: Kaylee,
congratulations!

My biggest rival on the show,
the veteran John Legend.

From day one,
we had this big rivalry.

He was so hard to beat.

He kept getting all
the big four-chair turns.

* I give you all of me *

Get away, get away.
[ Laughter ]

You know,
I fought with Niall a lot.

He's definitely formidable.

He's a great talent.
He won last season.

But I'm back, Niall.
Sorry about that.

I'm gonna have to go
with John Legend.

[ Cheers and applause ]

We've got very similar tastes.

I'm gonna fight hard
for this one.

We do like a lot
of the same singers.

Chechi, it would be an honor
for you to be on Team Legend.

Boring!
It's Gwen's turn.

And it's just been so fun
to go up against him.

[ Ding! ]
Blake: Niall is an
attractive guy.

[ Laughter ]

I mean, who would
have thought that two,

like, really sweet guys
like Niall and John

would become, like, rivals
this season

with how low they'll go
to get an artist?

It's so ridiculous.

Oh, John.

Aw!

We've had some back-and-forths.

Niall: As she was making
her decision,

she looked at me
and then just went, "John."

[ Laughter ]

He's outdone me
a couple of times.

Hi, Niall.
Hello, John.

You got a great shot
at this one.

[ Laughter ]
Aw, Niall!

I would never do that to
you...again this season.

I think John and Niall
are cute as a button.

But you won't beat me
a tic-tac-toe.

I was just trying
to block John,

so I was just waiting
for as long as I could.

I'm so proud of you
right now.

Harsh words aside, good luck,
and let the best man win.

Daly: John's next
playoff artist,

R&B singer Mac Royals,

fought hard
to get to this point.

Mac: My father was incarcerated
when I was 6 years old.

I really didn't know
too much information.

I just knew that I missed him.

Once my dad was released,

he opened up a club,
and I started my career there.

My dad just threw me up
onstage and was like,

"Hey, listen,
you're gonna do it, okay?"

* Oh, gravity *

[ Cheers and applause ]

* Wants to bring me down *

Sing, now.
* Wants to bring me down *

All four!

Whoo!
Yeah!

Congratulations.
What is your name?

My name is Mac Royals, and I'm
from Wrightsville, Arkansas.

Wow. You made us forget
about the original

and just think about
who is this person?

And I was so moved
by the performance.

Mac, I'm from Oklahoma,
so we're like neighbors.

Yeah. Yeah.
Wait, I live in Oklahoma, too,

Mac, just so you know,
part time, so...

Who you gonna go with?
Reba.

**

You're going with me?
Yeah.

Oh, my gosh!

Mac is so dang good.

He's talented, he's stylish.
He's the perfect package.

Daly: And Mac brought his smooth
style to the battles stage.

* It's me
you need to show *

* How deep is your love *
Rachele: * How deep is your
love, how deep is your love *

[ Cheers and applause ]

Mac, I just love
the sound of your voice.

Me, too.
It's just
buttery gorgeousness.

So good.
Who is the winner
of this battle?

Rachele.

Rachele, congratulations!

[ Whoosh ]

That's the sound of a steal!

Come on home, bro.

John: I stole Mac
in the battle round.

He's in the right place now.
He's such a great singer.

* To know that I love you,
baby *

Hey!

Mac just has this glorious,
rich, buttery tone.

Sing, Mac!

And I'm gonna make
Reba regret letting me

get Mac on my team.

Daly: Coming up...
* But stay woke *

Daly: ...John rounds out
his playoff team.

And later, a special "Voice"
Thanksgiving week tribute.

Are you coming over
for Thanksgiving?

Yeah.
I'm coming to your house...
Alright.

...I'm coming to your house,
and I'm coming to your house.

Lots of travel.
That'll be great.

Daly: And an epic
coach performance.

* Take it easy *

[ Cheers and applause ]

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back.

Let's see how John's last
playoff artist, Taylor Deneen,

brought her soulful energy
to the blinds.

Taylor: This is a dream
right now becoming a reality.

I just want to make sure
that when I go out there,

they're gonna remember I made
them feel something special.

* Ooh, but stay woke *

* They be creepin' *

* Don't you close your eyes *

Yes!

You just kept
getting better.

You kept finding new places
to go with the notes.

I need to know more
about your singing.

Like, what has your path
been like recently?

Well, I graduated from Berklee
College of Music in 2021.
Amazing!

I'm actually now
working as a songwriter.

I write a lot
of custom-made songs

for, like, anniversaries,
birthdays, and holidays.

It's just such a refreshing tone
that you have.

There's this, like,
sneaky, like,

yeah, it might be feminine,
but watch this.

You know what I mean?

I truly think
that I could be

an amazing coach
for you.

Who do you pick
as your coach?

I'm gonna go with John.

Yes!

[ Laughs ]

I really wanted Taylor.

I loved her feminine side

and her acrobatic voice,
and I lost.

Yes!

She sang so beautifully.
Taylor is incredible.

Aaah!
I'm so excited!

Daly: In the battles,
John helped Taylor

bring her performance
to the next level.

* Now I'm on my way *

* Let you know
when I'm 'bout a mile away *

I loved it.

Taylor,
be a little more playful

and, like, seductive.

You know what I'm saying?
Okay.

* I'm on the way *
Right?

You're playing it a little
straight to me right now.

* Yeah, I beat my face *

* Moving fast 'cause
the Uber on the way *

* Taking pictures, make sure
you can't see no lace *

* That wig secure like
the money in a safe *

[ Cheers and applause ]

Reba: Wow!
Whoo!

Good luck, John.
Yeah.

I was just very entertained,
flabbergasted.

Y'all's talent
is off the charts.

Taylor, I thought you were
absolutely brilliant.

Taylor, I feel like
you really came through.

You came out there
and looked confident.

And your singing
is just gorgeous.

The winner
of this battle is Taylor.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Taylor is just
so bloody perfect.

Her control, for a 23-year-old,
is insane.

Like, it feels like she's been
up there for years.

* You are my fire *

John: She's so wonderful.
She's such a great vocalist.

She's got sweetness,
she's got power,

she's got soul,
she's got grace.

I had to save Taylor.

Absolutely knocked it
out of the ballpark.

I nearly fell
through the chair.

[ Speaking indistinctly ]

Daly: There it is!
John Legend...

You're not going home.
...saves Taylor Deneen!

John:
Going into the playoffs,

I've got five
incredible artists,

and we are a wonderful team.

I can't wait for you to hear
what we do in the playoffs.

And now that you're all
caught up with this season,

here are some never-before-seen
moments of our coaches.

Let's take you behind
the scenes, see what goes on.

I can't wait
to get out there.

Man: Guys, here they come.
Here they come.
Let's do this.

Sound speed.
Quiet!

Camera speed.
Just kidding.

Slate it up.

Season 24!

Let's go.

Reba: Here we go.
Here we go.

Come on, Mama.

Whoo!

'Allo.
Cheers!

It's a lot of fun
making this show.

Hi.
Say hi,
everybody.

Hi, everybody.
Hello.

There's Reba.
Hi!

There's been a lot of surprises.
Anything can happen.

Daly: Howie Mandel.
Whoo!
Would you be still?

Excuse me.
Excuse me, here.
Coaches have the --
Is somebody talking?

[ Deep voice ] Is this
the part of the show

where you take questions
from the audience?

We don't really have
that part of the show.

I have a couple -- few
questions for -- for everybody.

Oh. Alright, we'll --
Humor us.

I wanted to know
if the winners of this show

get to go on "The Tonight Show
Starring Jimmy Fallon,"

'cause it's
a quality program.

He's a good guy.

It'd be a treat.

That was Jimmy Fallon?

Thank you very much,
everybody.

Shh!
We're shooting a scene.

Man: Here we go.
And action!

I just love television.

They make us more clever
when they tape it.

They do.
Yeah.

The editing is genius.

The edit makes me look
so much funnier.

When we were in the light --
Bleh.

I-I-I...
[ Stammers ]

Perfect. Let's go.

[ Speaking
indistinctly ]

I can't remember names
for nothing.

I was so glad that I got
to steal Jacquie away

from Glen -- Gwen.

And let's do that again.

Team Glen -- Gwen.

Team Glen -- Gwen!

For Glen.

My mouth just quit working.

Hello!
It's been really fun.

John: Learning each other,
developing our chemistry,

I feel like we're really
cooking with grease now.

Oh, do you like, like, corn
pudding and stuff like that?
Oh, yes. That's good.

I love that stuff.
I love that.

That's so good.
Whee!

Performance is coming,
and I'm just -- I'm just...

[ Chuckles ] Sorry.
This is just funny.

[ Grunts ]
Daly: Yes!

What do you think about
Gwen Stefani?

I love
Gwen Stefani.

[ Cellphone blooping ]
Uh-oh.

Not the sound man
with the phone ringing.

Waiting for anybody to come by
so I can do my queen wave.

Here comes somebody.

Just because you're so cute,
I'm going to let you live.

Thank you. Thank you.
You're welcome.

Niall: As you can see...
Carry on.

...it's been
a real laugh so far.

* Happy birthday to you *

[ Vocalizes ]

It's the most serious point
of the competition.

Dude, I love you, man.

I think my uncle actually
has those shoes.

Oh, really?
That's crazy.

My uncle has
those shoes.

Huh?
Yeah.

Why? Do people your age
not wear these?

My uncle has
those shoes.

This has to be a gag.

Those shoes are
so familiar.

Doesn't your uncle wear
those same shoes?

I'm sick of this.
How do you know my uncle?

I'm sick of this.
[ Laughter ]

Get over there!

We're having a lot of fun.

Well...

And that's what
this show's all about.

Hi.
Hi.

Yes, you sure can.

I would love it.
[ Laughs ]

Thank you, baby.

Well,
you are so awesome, too.

[ Whispers ]
Thank you very much.

[ Laughs ]

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back.

Now, it's Thanksgiving week
here at "The Voice."

Let's take a look
at what our coaches

and their teams are thankful for
this holiday season.

Thanksgiving is coming up.
Are you guys excited?
Yay!

I'm so excited.
I love it.

Does our Irishman even know
what Thanksgiving is?

I know what it is,

but we don't necessarily
celebrate it.

But I'm thankful for
[Southern accent] all y'all.

There you go. Yay.
All y'all.

What do you guys do
on Thanksgiving, then?

Explain it to me.
Eating a lot.

A lot of food.
A lot of food.

Do you have
tater tots?

We will this year.
Alright, now.

Everybody
brings a dish.

We are
the anti-potluck house.

Chrissy and I are going to do
all the cooking.

Every year, Blake does, like,
the crazy turkey.

Like Hot Cheetos.
Like a Hot Cheetos turkey.

Or, like, one year,
we did a Funyuns turkey.

I'm up for that.

Are you coming over
for Thanksgiving?

Yeah.
I'm coming to your house...
Alright.

...I'm coming to your house,
and I'm coming to your house.

Lots of travel.
That'll be great.

I'm just really grateful
for Blake and my family

and watching my children

find their own gifts
and their own way.

I think it's a good idea.

Sitting around
just before Christmas,

getting together,
having great food,

having good chats, singalongs.

Any opportunity to watch
two of my uncles fight,

I'm down for.

Just being thankful for life.

Coming together with my family,
and we're all healthy and happy.

I love getting together

and sharing profound love
with my family.

I'm even crying thinking
about my family.

The most recent Thanksgiving,
we were at home,

and we made like
a little Thanksgiving for two.

This year is our first
as an engaged couple,

so he'll be coming
to my family this year.

I started celebrating
Friendsgiving,

just a bunch of close friends
getting together,

and Friendsgiving
is just as fun as Thanksgiving,

I'm sure.

All of the aunts
and uncles get together.

It's the time to see
your little cousins grow up

and watch their heads get big.

You know, it's great.
I love it.

Until it gets on your nerves.

You need some money?

Don't ask me.
I ain't got none.

Our family grew this year.

You know, we were a family
of four before the year started.

And now we're a family of six.

And Chrissy and I celebrated

10 years of being married
this year.

I'm really grateful
for our partnership

and the family
we've grown together.

I host Thanksgiving every year,
and I don't serve turkey.

I make a crab boil.

We crack the crabs, just hands,
and we just dive in.

Our whole kitchen
is filled with food,

and then we spend the next,
like, three days eating.

Thanksgiving is not
a one-day thing for us.

It's like a whole weekend.

My mom would make the most
immaculate banana pudding.

I know, weird for --
weird for Thanksgiving,

but, oh, my gosh, it hit.

The smoked turkey.

Not just turkey.
You have to go smoked.

When I eat turkey, I'm like,

"Ooh, I'll eat every part
of that turkey."

Lila:
We'll hang around the fire.

And the dogs,
they're usually in Seattle.

It's cold and rainy,
so it feels really cozy.

I don't think words can explain
how important it is

to have people in your corner
that genuinely care about you,

so I'm forever grateful
for them.

Yeah, we locked in forever.

Oh, I am so thankful for a job,

getting to work on "The Voice,"
my first season,

having all the fun
that I've had,

meeting all the new people.

I'm thankful for the gift
of music and the opportunity

to be here on "The Voice."

I'm really grateful.

My parents came down for blinds.

My mom cried on the side
of the stage.

I'm extremely thankful
to be here

working with one of
my all-time favorite musicians,

John Legend.

This is a dream come true.

I'm so grateful
for my coach, Gwen.

For every ounce of advice,
every critique.

I don't take it for granted.

I am super thankful for

my relationship with Reba.

How long
you been playing?

I've been playing guitar
for five years.

Good for you.

Because I feel like
we've really

gained a friendship.

I am so thankful for you, Niall.

Hello!

My family
is indebted to you, bro.

It means so much
that you believe in me,

because it feels like
the first time in this industry

that somebody really has.

You have to have people
that walk alongside you

to help you on this journey,

and I've been able
to make a family here.

Hopefully, they'll be at
my Thanksgiving dinner table

one day.

Happy Thanksgiving, everybody.

Daly: In true
Thanksgiving spirit,

our coaches came together
this season

for one incredible performance.

Reba: I'm about
to take the stage

for my very first
coaches' performance

of the Eagles song
"Take It Easy."

It's so much fun
to get to collaborate

with the other coaches.

We're gonna have
so much fun up there.

Wish me luck, okay?
