* Yeah, you know what it takes *

* Hard work *

* And my mind is set
on winning *

* My mind is set on
taking it all *

Thank you, Lord.
* Take it to the top *

Daly: Ladies and gentlemen,
give it up for our coaches!

Oh, yeah!

Snoop: The part I love about
the duets the most

is we see sisterhood,
brotherhood, companionship.

But then at the same time,
you see certain elements of

"wait a minute,
this is a battle."

* Straight to the top *

Niall: We get to see
what people have done

since the blind auditions,

whether they've stepped up
or not.

Michael: I want to be blown away
by an artist

that executes on the notes
I've given.

Oh, yeah!

Reba: There's going to be
a lot of talented people

that have to go home.

Cream's rising to the top.

Whoo!

Niall: And to help us,

we've brought in some
of the biggest names in music

to take our artists
to the next level.

* I'm livin' in, I'm livin' in,
I'm livin' in *

* Virtual insanity *
* Heyyy *

Snoop: Oh, my God.
Thank you, Gangsta Holy Ghost,

that one steal
and one save is upon each coach.

Daly: We got a save!

We got a steal!

Another steal!

A full house!

But this season...

Snoop: ...we got a new twist

that's gonna change
the whole game.

Reba: And we can't wait
to try it out.

I was shocked when I heard.

The battles start right now.

Oh, we're doing it now?

**

Announcer:
Team Snoop to the stage.

Let's go!

Yeah, let's go, let's go,
let's go, let's do this, yeah.

Oh, Snoop!

Kanard: Walking in
and seeing Snoop,

I was not expecting that at all.

I saw this tall figure.
I'm like,

"I know that ain't
who I think it is." [ Laughs ]

I was like, "Oh, my God!"

What's going on?

-[ Laughter ]
-Yes, sir.

Can somebody tell me
what is going on?

How y'all feel today?

-Amazing!
-Good!

Was y'all expecting to see me?

-No!
-We were not.

-I'm glad to, though.
-It's a nice surprise.

What they told y'all
was gonna happen

when y'all came out here?

Just a picture.
Yeah.

Hold on.

Hey!

I thought we were coming here
to take some photos.

They put us
in some nice clothes.

But now something seems
super fishy.

I know y'all know
what the next round is, right?

-Yeah.
-What is the next round?

-Battle rounds.
-Unfortunately.

Yeah, we fighting,
but it's alright.

It's not about what you did
last time --

It's about what you do
this time.

And the crazy part
about this year's battle...

Y'all gonna trip off of this.

-Oh, boy.
-Hold up, hold up.

Oh, no. I'm scared.

Snoop: This is the crazy part.
Tell me something nice.

First time
in "Voice" history --

you have to pick
who you're battling with.

-No, Snoop, no!
-No, we're not.

How's that gonna work?

Oh, my gosh.

Getting to pick our
own battle partners is so wild.

I'm sitting there freaking out,
like what?

You pick your partner,
and then I'll pick the song,

and then we'll figure it out
from there.

I'm at a loss for words,
honestly.

Like, I...

-Oh, my God.
-What?

So with that being said,
I think it's time

for y'all to pick y'all
partners.

-Like right now?
-Right now?

Yeah, like right now.

-Oh! Oh, oh, oh, oh.
-What? Oh, my God.

Now? We really gotta
pick them right now?

Geez, bro.

Mindy: Snoop just drops
this news on us.

Everybody's jaw hit the floor,

and it's just pandemonium
from there.

Oh, my God!
Just got real nervous.

Just got real nervous.

You're nervous?
I'mnervous!

Lauren: Everybody on
Snoop's team is so good.

I don't want to go up
against anyone!

This is insane.

Ralph: Jerrell,
you want to go?

That would be fun, though.
That would be fun.

To make the choice of, like,
who you want to do a duet with

is really chaotic.

The stakes are very high.
There's no guarantee

that one of us might
get to stick around.

Are you down for it?
Hold up.

Let's think about it.
Let's talk about it.

Let's talk about it.
Hold on, hold on.

Yoshihanaa:
I didn't know who to pick!

I'm looking for someone
who I can complement

and who will complement me.

You want to be partners?

And that perfect person
is Natalia.

You want to be partners?

What?
We sing the same
type of notes.

Yoshi actually approached me,
and I was like, "Wait!"

I'm feeling really grateful
right now.

I feel honored, actually,
'cause you're just amazing.

I really do feel honored
to sing with you.

I like to riff.
She likes to riff.

We both have some just soul
to us.

Got my partner.

As much as this is
a competition,

it's also about putting
our best foot forward,

and I think that
this would be a very good pair.

As an artist, looking at
how y'all picked -- beautiful.

So, I want to know
why you chose the person

that you're sitting next to.

Ladies?

I chose my partner
because we both

have soulful voices with
jazzy undertones, and I think

that we would complement
each other very, very well.

I feel like this would be
a really good show, too --

the performance
aspect of it.

And I feel like vocally
we do a lot of similar things.

Snoop: Yoshihanaa
versus Natalia --

that's a great battle
right there

'cause they both
got strong voices.

I probably wouldn't
have set that battle up,

'cause it's gonna make
a hard decision for me.

But letting them pick has taught
me so much about my artists

as far as how they think,
how they move.

One, two, three!
All: Team Snoop!

Snoop: I am the host
with the most.

Lizzo:
I'm the mega mentor.

Yes, you are,
because you are a megastar.

Snoop: First of all, I'd like
to welcome y'all

inside of Team Snoop
behind the scenes.

And my guest --
she's a megastar.

I'm talking about
the one and only Lizzo.

And she's my friend.

* I'm special! *
Yes, you are.

* In case nobody told you
today *

* You're special *

Lizzo, she's been
a superstar

ever since she came
into the industry.

* This is "The Voice" *
Have you ever wanted
to be on "The Voice"?

I've fantasized
about auditioning.

I'm not gonna lie.
For real?

Yeah, and then nobody
would know it was me.

And be like...
And I'd be like...

* I do my hair toss,
check my nails *

Hey!
* Baby, how ya feelin' *

* Feelin' good as hell *

All these years
of experience

and the things
that I've learned,

just like learning
how to sing.

'Cause I was a rapper.
I studied music for years.

So, like to be able to do
this with his team...

Like, I trust
your taste.

This man,
he's a hit maker.

This is what I do,
like, 24/7 in the studio.

I just do it to myself.
[ Laughs ]

This show is that next step
into stardom.

We're gonna find out.

Bring in the singers!

Snoop: Come on
out here, girls.

Yoshihanaa! Natalia!

Oh, my God!
I know y'all lying to me.

Oh, my...

Wait. Standing
directly at 12 o'clock --

Lizzo!
I was like, "Ah!"

Yoshihanaa?

I was like, "Oh, my God,
you know my name?"

I'm shaking!
No, listen...

Are you real?
No, you're not real.

Is this really happening?

I can't believe I'm here.

I made it to the battles.

* Standing here *

* Oh-ohh, ohhh *

Snoop: I turned
with a quickness

'cause I heard something
that I want to work with,

something that I can help coach.

Yoshihanaa:
Being a single mom,

I hope that
I'm showing my kids --

If you have a dream,
believe in yourself

and you'll make it happen.

I'm excited to hear
what y'all about to bring,

but I want to know
more about you first.

Where you from?

I'm from Sanford, Florida,

a small country town
just right outside of Orlando.

Church, football,
church.

Yep. Okay.

That's what it is.
[ Laughter ]

Born and raised, Cherry Hill,
New Jersey. I'm like...

Jersey girl!
Yeah, "Joisey," mm-hmm!

I'm very blessed to have went
to Berklee College of Music,

and I'm in
a wedding band.

Okay, cool.
Gotcha.

Not only am I a wedding singer,
I'm a nanny,

I'm a waitress,
and I work full time.

What's the dream job?

You're looking at it.
This. Right.

And I'm just so excited
that we're here.

Okay, let's get to it.

We were so elated
when we got the song.

You know, it could've been
"Sweet Home Alabama."

Not with the D-O-double
as the coach,

it weren't gonna be no
"Sweet Home Alabama"!

Snoop gave us "You Make Me Feel
Like a Natural Woman"

by Carole King.

I really think this was tapping
into my R&B a lot more,

and that's the goal of this.

Like, I wanted Snoop
to bring that out of me.

* Out here *

He takes such great care of us,

and I'm very fortunate
to be on his team.

Hearing your vocals, I
can hear the R&B and the pop.

It's nuts to think that
one day I'm watching the show,

and then the next minute
I'm getting coached

by Snoop and Lizzo.

I'm excited
to hear y'all sing.

Yeah, let's do it.
Yeah.

* Lookin' out
on the morning rain *

Wow!

* Oh *

Snoop: "You Make Me Feel
Like a Natural Woman."

It's the perfect song
because they both so soulful

and they both have that thing

that's from the '60s
and the '70s.

* I had to face
another day *

Yes, Jesus!

It's a Carole King song

that Aretha Franklin
put the spices

and the additives and
preservatives on.

* Ohh, you make me feel *

They did the same thing.

They whipped it, flipped it,
and dipped it

like they were supposed to.

* Natural woman *

It's a song where
it brings forth a battle.

I just knew that
that would bring the best

out of both of them.

* Woman *

And when they started
to sing...

Sang-uh!

That do get a shoe.

She started off throwing
her damn shoe.

Yeah, it was my fault.
Louboutin had to go.

[ Laughter ]
Yeah, nah! Yeah!

Let's go outside.

I got to find something
to throw now.

That get a shoe!

[ Shouts, laughter ]

My God!

The way y'all worked
that magic together,

where y'all looking in
each other's eyes and like...

-Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
-Yeah!

-Oh, yeah.
-What?!

When two divas come together
and just diva out,

I live.

Ugh! My left eye
won't stop crying.

Aww!
But it's tears of joy.

My only note!

Yoshihanaa, you're being
a little underutilized

in the first half of the song.
Okay.

When you're born with something
and it comes easy to you,

sometimes we don't push.
Yes.

But we on "The Voice."
You've got to push for it.

The battles,
even though it's not cutthroat,

it kind of is.

Getting that encouragement

and advice is so invaluable.

I want some hootin'
and hollerin', please.

[ Vocalizing ]
Please!

If you can squall,
sister, squall.

Yoshihanaa:
I picked my partner.

But now that I've heard her,
I'm like, "Ooh, okay!"

Alright, let's polish up.
[ Laughs ]

Let's get it together.

To me, it's like
y'all went to church.

'Cause when we're in church,
you already know what it is.

It's like I'm trying
to get the spirit

to everybody
in the audience.

So I'm going in,
you going in, we going in.

I'm watching
the body language.

Like, come on now.
We're working together.

Snoop and Lizzo were
giving such amazing feedback.

I was just a kid
in a candy shop.

When y'all get into it
like that and you're like, yeah,

yeah, yeah, who can go higher?

Yeah, that's what
we want to hear.

The goal is really mastering
putting on a performance,

and that's what's gonna
really, I feel like,

take the cake.

* So alive *

* You make me feel *

Yeah!
* You make me feel *

I'm torn between Yoshihanaa
and Natalia, for sure.

Because Yoshihanaa is God-given,
natural-born talent.

Not even trying.
* You, you, you make me feel *

And then you have
Natalia.

It was oozing
out of her,

and she's so rehearsed
and so trained.
Yes. Yes.

It was like, yeah,
maximum effort or effortless.

Right. Which one?
I don't know.

And they picked
each other.

Why would they
do that?

To make it hard on me.
I don't know who to pick.

It will be
the Gangsta Holy Ghost

will help me
make the right decision.

The Gangsta Holy Ghost?
Wow.

That's what works for me.
You know...

Never a dull moment
with Snoop Dogg.

[ Both laugh ]

I have never been so excited
about the performances.

I'm a little nervous
about watching them today

because they did find
their own partner.

I wish all of them
didn't pick each other,

if I'm being really honest,
'cause it's so hard.

I hate that somebody good
is gonna go home.

But that's how it is.

Alright, this is the first day
of battles.

Whoo!
Let's go get 'em.

Let's do it.
Let's go.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Whoo!

Oh, this is gonna be good.

[ Cheers and applause continue ]

The battle starts now.

**

* Looking out
on the morning rain *

Yeah!

* I used to feel
so uninspired *

* And when I knew
I had to face another day *

* Lord, it made me feel
oh so tired *

* When my soul was
in the lost and found *

* You came along
to claim it *

* I didn't know just what
was wrong with me *

* Yeah, yeah *

* Till your kiss
helped me name it *

* Now I'm no longer doubtful
of what I'm living for *

* And if I make you happy,
I don't need to do no more *

* You make me feel *

Both: * You make me feel *

* You make me feel
like a natural woman *

* Oh, baby,
what you done to me *

* What you done to me *

* You make me feel
so good inside *

* Good inside *

* And I just wanna be *

* Wanna be *

* Close to you,
you make me feel so alive *

* You make me feel *
Whoo-hoo-hoo!

* You *

* You make me feel
like a natural woman *

* You, you make me feel *

* Yeaaaah *

* You make me feel
like a natural woman *

* Woman *

* Woman *

* Woman *

[ Cheers and applause ]

Oh, Snoop!

Man, I'm in tears
right now, man.

Wow.

Come on, everybody!

[ Cheers and applause continue ]

That was a proper
old-school "Voice" battle.

That's why we watch this show.

Natalia, when you go up
against a powerhouse,

a lot of people
shy away from that.

You gave it.
And this guy was...

He was...
Look, he's crying.

[ Laughs ]
He's crying!

Yoshihanaa,
completely flawless.

So natural.

It comes out of you just

without even you trying.

Thank you.

Do I have to pick?

You don't have to.
It's on me.

Alright.
I'll leave it to you, then.

[ Laughter ]

Damn!

Boy, Natalia,
your range is incredible.

The huskiness in your voice,
I absolutely loved.

Yoshihanaa,
I thought you were

Aretha Franklin
standing up there.

[ Laughs ] Thank you!

I would go with
Yoshihanaa.

Thank you.

This is a song
I've always wanted to cover,

but I know
it will never happen.

Yoshihanaa, you made it yours,
and it seemed effortless,

and it was a joy
to watch you.

And, Natalia, I felt like you
were very disciplined.

You know, you're
literally standing

in the middle
of a boxing ring,

and you're supposed
to deliver a knockout punch,

but your vocal quality
is good enough

that you don't
have to do that.

So, for that reason,
today's battle, for me,

would have been won
by Natalia.

Thank you so much.
Daly: Thank you, coaches.

Alright, Uncle Snoop,
you got the final decision.

Give us some thoughts
on that battle

before you tell us who won.

Wow.
Y'all made me shed a tear.

And I'm just thinking
about Lizzo

gave y'all so much information,
and y'all used it.

But I was crying
because it's like

I can only keep one of y'all,
and my heart is broke.

Uncle Snoop,
the time has come.

Who is the winner
of this battle?

The winner
of this battle...

[ Dramatic music plays ]

**

...is Yoshihanaa.

Yoshihanaa,
congratulations!

You're moving on to the
knockouts with Team Snoop.

Snoop:
Natalia and Yoshihanaa --

the decision
that I didn't want to make,

but I had to make.

I chose Yoshihanaa
as the winner

due to the fact that she had

the most powerful performance
tonight.

I feel like she's got a lot
of room to grow,

and at the same time,
she's a seasoned vet.

Coaches, I'm reminding you that
Natalia is available

to steal or save.

Anything you want to say
to your coach?

I've been having
the best time with you, Snoop!

I feel like you can come over
for dinner whenever you want.

Thank you so much
for everything.

Natalia Albertini, everybody!
Thank you so much.

[ Cheers and applause ]

[ Whoosh ]

Daly: Wait! We got a save!

[ Squealing ] She got a save!

Snoop: The reason
why I saved Natalia

is because that performance was
so strong and so heartfelt.

Let's go, girl.
Let's go, girl.

All of the singers on my team
have exceptional vocals.

It's about who connects
the best.

She was too good
to be on somebody else's team

and too good to go home.

Boy, Natalia, she was gorgeous
and sang her butt off.

That's great.

I'm waiting on somebody
I've got my eye on to steal.

I don't want to use it
too early.

Oh, this is a good season!

I just --
What's for dinner?

Shut up! Snoop!
Thank you so much.

He just...
He disappears and reappears.

I'm really excited,
so thank you so much.

Beautiful work.
Thank you so much.

Teamwork.
Famiglia.

Daly: Still to come
in the battles premiere...

What?!

More shocking surprises.

-What?
-Ohh!

* In love *

I think we need like
a bigger vocal moment there.

Daly: Expert coaching.

Kelsea: Rehearse with each other
as much as you can,

just so you don't lose
the train off the tracks

in that last
little home stretch.

* You be my honeysuckle *

* I'll be your honey bee *

Daly: Incredible performances.

And emotional decisions.

Steal! Steal! Steal!

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back
to the battles premiere.

Welcome back to "The Voice."
We're back!

How long has it been
since you've been here?

It's been about
five, six years.

My Team Reba adviser,
Nick Jonas.

* Got me in chains
for your love *

Nick's been
on "The Voice."

I want to fight for you today.
So let's do this.

He's had a solo career.

He's very good
at what he does.

This means
the world to me

that you said yes,
'cause I know you're busy.

I mean,
you just got off Broadway

and you're going on tour
with your brothers.

I actually have a gift
for you.

Oh, this is from you?
That's for you.

We worked together
some 24 years ago.

It was the highlight
of my career.

Thank you.

You can now put this
in your home.
[ Laughing ] Ohh!

Nick and I worked together
many moons ago.

Our Broadway debut, doing
"Annie Get Your Gun."

And ever since then, I've been
her favorite Jonas brother.

Yes!

Nick: You were like
my adviser.

Taught me about live theater
and how things can go wrong

and how to treat people.

So I appreciate
you having me here.

Oh, thanks, Nick.
That's very sweet of you.

It's a full-circle moment.

The thing that I love most
is getting to meet

these incredibly
talented folks

who grow so much
in this process.

Reba: I'm really excited
about the battle rounds.

We get to coach.

And I love to coach.
I love to help out.

So, a little bit different
this year.
Yeah. Tell me.

After
the blind auditions,

we brought them back up
on the stage

and said, "Okay, you
get to pick your own partner."

Oh, my God.

You get to pick who
you get to sing with.

[ All gasping, groaning ]

-What?
-What?

Like, how am I supposed
to do that?!

-Oh, this is so hard.
-This is insane.

Who do I pick?
Where do I go? What do I...

Who am I gonna talk to?
I don't know.

Who wants to sing with me?
I would.

I just can't --
trying to think of, like,

a genre that would fit.

Yo, I'm literally
sitting here like...

I don't know!
I don't know what to do!

I started sizing
everybody up.

Okay, let me see.

And then I was like,
you know what?

Aaron is really,
really incredible.

And I think the point
of the battle

is to earn your keep.

So I'm gonna earn it with Aaron.

The soulful voice -- I think
they'd be a good mesh.

I agree with that 100%.
Okay!

I honestly felt like Daron
was somebody to try to avoid.

He's an excellent vocalist.

I mean, runs for days.

Is this thing on?
Do you want to do it with...?

Does this thing work?

Daron and I
couldn't be more different.

But I also think
when it comes to battles,

that when you see two people
from opposite ends

of the musical spectrum
come together

and make a crazy-good version
of a song,

that is a beautiful thing.

So, I got Daron as my partner.

Low-energy guy.
Just...

Just a very boring personality.

That's the only thing
I would say

is really gonna hold him back
in this competition

is just he needs to do
a little bit more.

[ Both laugh ]

Daron: Aaron's strength is
the soul meets country.

I'm R&B vibes, so we can meet
somewhere in the middle

and make some
really crazy fusion.

Boom! Hi-yah!

Aaron's gonna swing at me,

so I'm gonna have to
swing hard back.

[ Both laugh ]

You ready to meet them?
Yeah.

-Oh, hello!
-Come in, come in!

-What's up?
-Say hi to Nick Jonas.

-How you guys doing?
-What's going on?

Nick Jonas?

Walking in and seeing Nick Jonas
was insane.

I mean,
the guy's doing Broadway.

He was in "Jumanji."
Tons of awards.

Someone who definitely knows
the business.

Good to see you guys!

Good to see you again.

Aaron: I'm amazed that I made it
past the first round.

Every day I wake up and I'm
like, how am I here right now?

* Why you got to be so cold? *

It had to be Reba.

She's a country legend,
and that's my genre,

and went with the queen.

Y'all's vocals,
the timbre --

everything about it is
totally, like, different.

* All night long *

* Everyone you meet *

* We're dancing in the street *

* All night long *

I'm very excited
to be on Team Reba.

She turned at a moment
in my song

that was so uniquely me
that I was like,

if you like that,
then you could be my coach.

* But then I fooled around
and fell in love *

Reba: "Fooled Around and Fell
in Love" by Elvin Bishop.

Perfect song for them.

* I fooled around *

* Oh, I fooled around *

Reba: Recorded
by different people,

soulful, rock, country.

And that's what they are --

soulful and country.

Good job! Wow!

That was kind of like peanut
butter and jelly, you know?

It just blends
together.

Two powerhouse vocalists.

And very, very different styles,
obviously.

Can you guys give me
a little bit of background?

Yeah, I'm a singing 4
or 5 times a week in Nashville.

Wow.
And, Daron, what about you?

Most recently, I was
one of the Commodores.

Nick: It's so funny
you say that

'cause as you were singing
that first verse,

I was like, I'm getting
some Lionel Richie vibes.

Reba: Yeah.
Oh, yeah?

I think your falsetto is
one of the strongest

parts of your voice.

And when
you guys get to

the ad-lib trade-off
at the end,

I think if you want to throw in
another falsetto there,

it can really be
a powerhouse moment.

Okay.

Daron: I was really relieved

to hear Nick tell me

to be more artistic
with my vocal style,

because that's who I am
as a singer.

There's the one moment -- I
think it's in the second chorus.

* Fooled around
and fell in love *

I think we need, like, a bigger
vocal moment there.

You talking about that cut
before the last line?

Yeah.
[ Vocalizing ]

It seems like you
already have some ideas.

I think so.

He's super musical.

Do you want to be
a lead singer

out on the road touring?

Touring, singing,
songwriting, all of it.

Nick's been in the business
20 years.

I've been in 50.

So that's 70 years
of experience.

Yee-haw! It's a lot of work.
It's a lot of fun.

It's very rewarding,
but there's a lot of sacrifices.

I'm getting a taste
of being away from home

a little bit here.

It's gonna be tough,
but I think it's worth it.

I have a lovely wife.

Watching her be a mother is
one of my great joys of my life.

This is also a dream
for her, too.

She's behind it 100%.

* But when the grass got
a little greener *

Aaron has that Southern
rock gravel to his voice,

and it's an immediate hook.

Right here! Come on!

* I fooled around
and fell in love *

Daron's got that silky smooth
R&B soulful element,

but in this performance,

I feel like he's actually
tapping a little bit

into the rock feel,
as well.

I don't think it
would have been a pairing

that I would have made.

But it's actually
kind of perfect.

It is.

Yeah!
[ Laughter ]

That was a little shaky,
but we're getting there.

Yeah, the ending
was a little shaky.

It might have been
* in love *

You're the boss.

Well, I agree with you.

Daron: It definitely
feels surreal

to be on this show
with Nick Jonas,

just getting the feedback from
both him and Reba.

It's like, oh, snap!

These people,
they could change your life.

This is crazy.
[ Laughs ]

My man. See you guys.

Reba: I think this battle round
will come down to

who steps up to the microphone
and performs their very best.

They are so different
in genres and range,

so it's really gonna be hard
for me to make a decision.

They're two vocal giants.

Good luck.
Thank you. Ooh.

Daly: Who would you pick
as the winner of this battle?

Get the "Voice" official app now
and play along.

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back
to the battles.

[ Cheers and applause ]

**

Hi, there.

It's the day of my battle.
I'm feeling a little nervous.

I got my little baby boy and
my wife at home rooting me on.

Progressing in this show
can completely change our lives.

From team Reba,
Aaron Nichols!

[ Cheers and applause ]

Whoo! Go, Aaron! Yes!

Daron: I need to move forward
in this competition

because I need to prove it
to myself

and to the people
who are watching me,

that not only am I a singer,
but I'm also versatile.

Daly: Daron Lameek!

[ Cheers and applause ]

Ive worked really hard for this
and I'm feeling pumped.

I'm ready to go.

What up, man?

Love this song.

Yee-haw!

Let the battle begin.

**

* I must have been through
about a million girls *

Yeah, man.

* I'd love 'em
and I'd leave 'em alone *

* I didn't care
how much they cried *

* No, sir *

* Their tears left me cold
as a stone *

Both: * But then I fooled around
and fell in love *

* I fooled around
and fell in love *

* I fooled around
and I fell in love *

* I fooled around
and fell in love *

* It used to be when I'd see
a girl that I liked *

* I'd get out my book
and I'd write down her name *

* But when the grass
got a little greener *

* On the other side *

* Oh, I'd just tear out
that page *

* But then I fooled around
and fell in love *

* I fooled around
and fell in love *

* I fooled around and fell *

* In love *

* I fooled around
and fell in love *

* Oh, oh *

* Oh, I fooled around *

* Yeah, I fooled around *

* Come on,
I fooled around *

* Oh, I fooled around *

* Oh, I fooled around
and fell in love *

* I fooled around *

* Oh, I fooled around *

* I fooled around *

* Oh, I fooled around *

* I fooled around
and fell in love *

* Love *

[ Cheers and applause ]

**

Whoo-whee!

What in the freaking heck?

Showstopper!

Wow!

The fact that you guys
couldn't be more different,

but somehow
you come together

and you become
this amazing thing.

Daron, you take a song
that I love

and you take it into
that world of Sam Cooke.

I love it.

And even though you have
reverence and respect

for the song, you make
the song work for you.

If I was making
the decision today,

it might go to Daron.

Thank you.

Daron, when the song
first came on, I'm like,

what is he doing
singing this song?

And then it was like,
oh, my God, he killing it!

I didn't even know
it was a country song,

he was killing it so much.

And that's what you do
as a performer.

You have to make it
your record.

Brother Aaron,

you said, "Ahhhh!"

[ Laughter ]

That's what I love,
when you can bring that element.

And you knew
when to put it in there,

because I want more of it.

Reba?
Yes, sir.

Naturally, I would say
I would pick him,

but I like the way
he sounded.

And I know you don't know
who "he" is,

because I ain't told you
who he is.

But I'll say this --

I'm so happy I don't
have to make this decision.

Totally understand.
Thanks, Snoop.

Niall: I love
your rasp, Aaron.

It really stands out,
and that growling

that you do is incredible.

And, Daron,
I just think you have

this effortlessness
to what you do

that really stands out to me.

Based on that alone, I would
just, I would lean that way.

Thank you.
Daly: Thank you, coaches.

Alright, Reba, what a tough
decision you've got coming up.

Give us your thoughts
on the battle first.

Well, when we were
in the rehearsals,

Nick Jonas was complimenting
both of you on,

Daron, your falsetto,
how much he liked that,

and then, Aaron,
the raspiness of your voice.

I said y'all are like
peanut butter and jelly.

So different, but
just blended together so well.

Daly: Well, Reba,
it's a tough decision here.

Two great artists.

Who is the winner
of this battle?

[ Dramatic music plays ]

Well, I think the winner
of this battle...

...is going to be...

Aaron.

Daly: Aaron, congratulations!

Reba: On my team,
some of the best ones

have paired up together,

so that was a tough decision.

Come on, dude!

I had to choose Aaron.

He did something tonight

that he hadn't done
in rehearsals.

Way to go. Way to go.
You deserve that.

He hit a high note
with that gravel voice.

I thought, that's it.
That wins the prize right there.

Coaches, let me remind you that
Daron is available to steal.

Daron, anything
you want to say to Reba?

Reba,
I'm just happy to be here,

happy to be doing this.

Give it up one more time
for Daron Lameek!

Niall: I was so close
to stealing Daron.

I thought the performance
he gave was amazing.

If I ever go back out
on tour,

I want you
on tour with me.

I would love to.

He's doing these crazy runs,
but so tastefully.

But I've got one steal.
I've got someone in mind.

I'm gonna hold out, I think.

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back
to "The Voice."

Michael:
Welcome home, dude.

Bublerini is back.
[ Both laugh ]

Who were the final two first
and second champions?

Daly: Two artists are left.

The winner of "The Voice"
is Adam David!

It's good to be back.
I miss it.

I brought an old
but very young friend,

country superstar
Kelsea Ballerini.

The greatest mentor
you could have on the show.

Before season 27,
I was so nervous.

And you went out of your way
to, like, ease that.

That was the start
of a beautiful friendship.

Kelsea is an artist
who really defies genres.

* Got baggage,
but I'm moving on *

She can straddle pop
and country, R&B, all of it.

When I three-peat, I'm
gonna say thank you to you.

I'm so glad that I have
no tough choices.

I just get to be
a cheerleader.

We have Trinity and Jazz,
two four-chair turns.

We got a power couple.

Let's bring them in.

Hi! Hey, I'm Kelsea.

Aah!
Hi!

Nice to see you guys.

Ms. Kelsea -- I was like,
oh, my goodness.

-Hi.
-How are you?

It was just an amazing honor
to even be in her presence

because I know she's won
so many different awards,

she's sat on the "Voice" panel.

Look at the girl power
we have.

I was just giggling and smiling.
Couldn't stop.

What made you two
pick each other to battle?

Friends.
We were the last to pick.

Who's the only one
not locked right now?

Is everyone locked up?

Oh. Oh, we don't even
have a choice.

It's me and you.

Trinity is R&B pop,

and I'm R&B soul.

So we can meet somewhere
in the middle and shine bright.

You look the most shy.

And of course,
my four-chair turns

choose each other,

which means that I lose one

of the strongest singers
on the show.

Both with beautiful,
huge voices.

What are you thinking?

This is like my little ray
of sunshine.
Yeah.

Ain't nobody want
to sing with us.

So we singing
with each other.

Match made in Heaven.
Period.

Trinity is
an amazing powerhouse,

but I feel
like I'm a powerhouse too.

* Oh, what's love got to do,
got to do with it *

Taking the stage at "The Voice"
was very intimidating,

but getting a four-chair turn
was validating.

My mom was a singer.
My grandmother was a singer.

I want to win this battle
so much

because I want to make
my family proud.

We have
different tastes,

but I'm very interested
to see

how that blend
is gonna sound.

I'm excited to really show
the kind of singer that I am.

* There'll be some love makin',
heart breakin', soul shakin' *

Getting a four-chair turn
was incredible.

I could give you a phone book
and you could sing that

and you would crush it.

When he said,
"You could sing anything,"

that really drove the point home
of me picking him,

because I started out
with R&B and soul

and I've been singing opera
since I was in middle school.

So I really want to show him

that you can throw any song
at me,

and I will sing it
to the ground.

I'm really excited for this.

I'm excited, too.

This is also
a really fun song.

I love Jamiroquai.

It's such a song
that no one would expect.

So, let's begin.

* And it's a wonder
man can eat at all *

* When things are big
that should be small *

Michael: They will be singing

"Virtual Insanity"
by Jamiroquai.

It's perfect for them
because it is soulful.

It's a great pop song.

I waited for a long time
to get this song on the show

and find the right artist.

I think it's gonna be one
of my favorite moments

that I've had
on "The Voice" so far.

* It's a crazy world
we're living in *

* And I just can't see *
Whoo!

Trinity has this
angelic quality to her voice,

even though she
obviously has this soul.

She also has like
a real purity there.

* Come on, y'all *

* A future *
* Future *

* Made of *
* Made of *

* Virtual insanity *

And Jazz has this, like, oomph
that she sings with.

* We all live underground *

* Virtual insanity *

Ohh!
Yeah. Yeah.

When you're singing, it looks
like you're just breathing.

It's so effortless to you.

I would be out of breath.
I'd be off pitch.

And you do it like
it's simply your purpose.

Thank you.

You have this fiery grit
that comes out,

and it works so beautifully
together

because you're able to
really highlight each other.

What a great song choice.

Figure out your ending,

a concise thing
where both of you...you know.

Can you just go quickly
through that last bit?

* I'm living in
a virtual insanity *

* Put your hands
right there *

[ Ad-libbing indistinctly ]

* I'm living in,
I'm living in *

* A virtual insanity,
I'm living in a *

That's it. That's it.

Michael's just been
so hands-on.

He's like my favorite mix of
"let's get the job done,

but let's have a good time
at the same time."

I love hearing
your voices alone.

Just don't forget
to have fun.

Look at where you are.

I know it's intimidating,
but what a beautiful experience.

Trinity and Jazz are

two of the best singers
in the show.

Powerhouses.
Yeah.

Nice to meet you.

They pour out
a lot of light,

and then they come back it up
with these two very distinct --

Yes.
...beautiful voices.

I think that could be
the performance of the night.

I really do.
Yeah.

* I'm living in,
I'm living in a virtual... *

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back
to the battles

at Universal Studios Hollywood.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Trinity! Come on, girl!

Whoo!

Niall: Oh, what a tune.

[ Mouthing words ]

This battle begins right now.

Oh, yeah!

Come on!

**

[ Vocalizing ]

[ Vocalizing ]

* And it's a wonder
man can eat at all *

* When things are big
that should be small *

* And I can tell what magic
spells would be doing for us *

* And I'm giving all my love
to this world *

* Only to be told *

* I can't see,
I can't breathe *

* No more will we be *

* Oh, and nothing's gonna
change the way we live *

* 'Cause we can always take,
but never give *

* And now that things
are changing for the worse *

Both: * Whoa *

* It's a crazy world
we're living in *

* And I just can't see *

* That half of us
immersed in sin *

* Is all we have
to give these *
* Come on now *

* Futures *

* Made of *
* Made of *

* Now always *
* Always *

* Seems to be *

we have for *

technology *

* Oh, now there is

* If we all live
underground *

* And now
there is no sound *

* We all live

* And now
it's virtual insanity *

* Forget your
virtual reality *

* Oh *

[ Both vocalizing ]

* Futures made of *

* Now we seem to *

* Be governed by
this love we have for *

Whoo!

[ Cheers and applause ]

**

[ Laughing ]

Oh, yeah!

[ Cheers and applause continue ]

Heavens to Murgatroyd!
Lord have mercy!

[ Laughter ]

I used to be on tour
with Jamiroquai.

Y'all took that man's song
and put some herbs and spices.

Come on!
Come on!

This is two
four-chair turns.

Mike, I know
you not happy about this.

I am.
[ Laughter ]

'Cause this right here was
what "The Voice" is built on.

Great showmanship.

And y'all had me up here
dancing, doing the freak.

That was entertainment
at its finest.

They both are
so strong, Mike.

Yeah.
I do know
that I have a steal left,

and I'm just gonna leave it
like that.

And me.
And me.

Thank you, ladies.

Wowie!

You two just brought
a different league.

Yeah!

I dislocated a hip.

[ Laughter ]

'Cause I know that's
gonna be on the internet,

me just...

[ Laughter and applause ]

These two cannot leave
this competition.

And also, if I'm stealing
anyone, I want one of you two.

I don't know
what's going to happen,

but, Bublé,
you're in big trouble,

and I don't care
what anyone says.

Okay, If it was a run
competition, you both tied.

Jazz, your tone is round,
powerful.

Thank you.
Trinity, wow.

I don't understand
how you found all those notes.

That was like a jazz.

That's what it was, absolutely.
I was trying to follow.

Incredible.
Thank you, Reba.

Oh, man.
If I had to choose one...

I wouldn't be able to.

I would not.

So I'm going to pass.

Oh, wow.
Great pass, great pass.
Yeah!

Daly: Thank you, coaches.
Pass.

Alright, Michael,
you're in for it here, man.

Final decision is yours.
Give us some thoughts first.

Trinity,
I love the jazz thing.

You just were improvising.

And this is just effortless
and easy for you.

Jazz, you have this wonderful,
powerful voice.

And this is the essence
of what this show is about.

So thank you both so much.
Thank you.

Well, Michael,
two of your best

have paired themselves
against each other.

And that makes for a
very difficult decision for you.

Who is the winner
of this battle?

[ Audience cheering, shouting ]

**

The winner of this battle
is Jazz.

Jazz, congratulations.
You're moving on.

Jazz has really
a pitch-perfect voice.

She has no fear.

And I think it just leads her
to have really no ceiling.

She is kind, smart,
and she's beautiful.

There is no reason why
at the end of this competition,

Jazz isn't standing there
as one of the finalists.

Coaches,
let me remind you

Trinity is available
to steal or save.

Trinity, anything you want to
say to your coach?

Michael, you've just been
such an incredible coach to me.

I'm glad that I was
able to make you proud today.

So proud.
We got a save!

We got a steal.
We got a third steal.

Trinity, a full house.

We got a save
and three steals.

Trinity,
congratulations.

You are back
in this competition.

The coach just used his one
and only save for you.

So you can return
to Team Bublé.

But if you're a little miffed
at him, that's understandable.

You've got three
brand-new coaches all vying

for you to be
on their team now.

Snoop,
why do you want to steal her?

Bring out my
little friend real quick.

Reba: Not fair.
Flag on the play.

My baby boy.

He was teared up
hearing her sing.

He said, "Daddy, push
the button and steal her."

[ Cheers and applause ]

I would love to have you
on my team.

My family would love
to welcome you.

You are an amazing vocalist.

Come join us.
Well done, Snoop.

Niall, you're next.
Do you have any animals?

[ Whistles ]

[ Laughter ]

Why do you want to steal
Trinity, Niall?

The two performances
that I've seen from you

in this show
are just off the scale,

and I would love to have you
on my team, no doubt.

Reba.

Trinity, I would love to hear
what you would love to sing.

Which songs are your favorites?

Which ones
do you shine on?

And let's work on it
together.

And, Michael, why do you want
Trinity to remain on your team?

I was never nervous
because it was always you and me

and it was never going to be --

Hey, listen, it probably
doesn't help me to say this,

but I love you, dude, so --

Snoop:
Go ahead, Mike.

I really do hope that
it's you and me to the finals.

Wow. Alright.

Three potential
other suitors are here.

You have
pick of the litter.

Who do you pick
as your coach?

[ Audience cheering, shouting ]

**

**

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back.

Daly: Three potential
other suitors are here.

You have
pick of the litter.

Trinity,
who do you pick as your coach?

[ Audience cheering, shouting ]

**8

Although my feelings are
a little hurt by you, Michael,

I'll take you back.

She's staying
on Team Bublé.

Way to get her back,
Mike.

My save strategy is
to save someone

who has undeniable potential.

We got this.

Attaboy!

With her voice,
you really feel it.

You feel it deeply.
She's just an all-around star.

I was so grateful
that she stayed with me.

Sing big records, girl.
You are a star.

Can I still pet the dog?

What? Come on.

The inspiration to me
using this steal is finding

that particular artist
that I always wanted.

And I pulled my dog out trying
to get her to come on home.

It didn't work.

But in the meantime,
I'm not trippin'.

'Cause I still got my steal.

And the perfect artist will find
his way home to Team Snoop.

How did that feel, Bub?

Yeah,
I was terrified.

It was always
you and me.

[ Laughter ]

Snoop: [ Speaks indistinctly]

Oh, wow.
Thank you.

[ Laughter ]

Welcome to Team Niall,
everyone.

You look great as a team.

There is one thing
I wanted to tell you.

The reason
that you're actually here.

You guys will choose
your own battle pairings.

-What?
-No way!

This is insane.

Ohhh,
what the heck, man?

-What is freaking happening?
-This is crazy.

What?
I was not expecting this.

Niall: And you know
when you're gonna do it?

You're gonna do it right now.

-Oh!
-What?!

It feels like a bomb
is going off in this room.

Geez, Louise.

Are you willing
to step outside your own genre?

Are you willing
to take a risk?

I'll leave you to it.
Have a chat.

Oh, that made me
really nervous.

-Do you want to?
-I'm scared, bro.

You're so good.
You're good,
you're great, bro.

Everyone's in kind of
a panic mode.

Oh, we're not
going together.

One of us
will get stolen.

No, we're not. Sorry.
I love you, but we're not.
I want to.

We're looking at each other

and trying to figure out
what's the best move.

Wow.

For someone like me
who's a competitor,

I'm never afraid of a challenge.

I mean,
we don't have a choice.

We have --
We literally said it.

We knew it.
We're gonna smash, brother.

Dustin and Revel, explain.

We were talking today
just about collaborating.

Yeah.
So this is an opportunity
to kind of make that happen.

You wanted
the best performance,

and we're going to try
to give it to you for sure.

I like that.
I like this confidence.

We've honestly hoped for
an opportunity to sing together.

I wish it wasn't
at each other's expense,

but also it's going to push us
both to be better

than we would be
otherwise.

Your battle starts now.

Oh, God,
I hope it's a dance battle.

**

Oh, wow.
This is very fancy.

Hello, everybody.
I'm Lewis. Nice to meet you.

Oh, thank you.

I'm sure you don't know
who he is.

I thought it was time
to step things up around here,

so I brought in
my good pal Lewis Capaldi.

This is like seeing
what you do,

what your pal does for work.
It's brilliant.

* I was getting kind of used to
being someone you loved *

Lewis Capaldi is Grammy
nominee, worldwide superstar.

He wrote one of the
greatest songs we've ever heard.

He's going to be so valuable
to my team.

These are quite, um --
Oh.

A little bit softer
than previous seasons.
Yeah.

We met in 2017.

Lewis had a few videos
on YouTube

and I asked him, did he want to
come up and open a show for me?

And then he went on
to be a Grammy-nominee artist

and left me behind.

[ Laughs ]

Ready to critique
some singing.

Beautiful.
Yeah.

And you're a
very good critiquer.

Thank you. Yeah.
I'm ready.

Right. Revel and Dustin.
Yeah.

Dustin sung Sam Cooke.
It was ridiculous.

Kind of has, like,
a natural rasp.

Like a -- really like
James Morrison-y type.
Lovely.

* Bring it to me *
* Bring it to me *

* Bring your loving home to me *

Revel,

he sang "Somewhere
Only We Know" by Keane.

Huge voice.

* I'm getting tired and I need
somewhere to begin *

Straight away,
hearing a big voice like that

sing quite, like, an
indie pop song was quite cool.

I was shocked
that these two chose each other.

I'm buzzing. I'm buzzing to hear
this combination.

Let's do it.

Hello, hello.
How you doing, lads?

All good?

How are we doing?
What's good, brother?

It's all good.

Revel: Meeting Lewis was
honestly a dream come true.

Lewis Capaldi is
a generational songwriter.

30 billion combined
global streams.

To see the global response
that he's gotten,

that's the kind of impact that
I want to have as an artist.

You're incredible.
You're like a singer's singer.

Oh, thank you, man.

I'm looking forward to hearing
what you guys have got.

Niall's been waxing lyrical
about you guys, so.

Oh, gosh.

What do we think of Hozier,
"Too Sweet"?

Like, if there was
a Venn diagram of, like,

who I am
and who Dustin is,

Hozier is where we overlap,
truly.
Thank God for that.

When you picked each other,
I was like, "Oh, no,

what song could I actually get

where there's some sort
of crossover?"

And that was still a bit folky,
but on the poppy side.

You did a great job.

* It can't be said
I'm an early bird *

Niall:
Dustin's voice is so unique.

If that voice came on the radio,

you would just know
it was Dustin straight away.

* You're too sweet for me *
Yeah.

He also got this gravel
that he lets out,

and he does it so tastefully
and it just works.

* While in this world *

* I think I'll take
my whiskey neat *

* My coffee black *

Revel's just got a huge voice.

He can do big runs.

* Too sweet for me *

And I like that
he likes songs

that you wouldn't
necessarily see him sing.

* Ooh *

Come on. That was amazing.
That's so sick.

Yeah, I love it as well
you can tell you're enjoying it.

Oh, man,
this is a dream.

How do you feel
without the guitar in your hand?

Uh, like I need to hold on
to --
Yeah.

Like, it literally
goes around the Internet,

me not knowing what
to do with my hands

when I don't
have a guitar.

When you have
the opportunity,

rip the mic off the stand
and just give it a go.

The song's got a bit of bite
and a bit of attitude,

so you want to convey that
in the performance.

Yeah.
Yeah.

I think I connect to
the message in "Too Sweet"

because I am a simple guy
from a very small,

rural Cajun community.

So to be on "The Voice,"

everything else is lagniappe,
a little bit extra.

So all of these amazing things
that have been happening to me

just feel like
a little bit extra.

I think because of
how it ends and how big it gets,

let's start small.

[ Vocalizes ]

Like, mysterious
Hozier vibe.

Could you try it in, like,
chest voice at all?

* Ohh *

Sure.
Good shout.

Good shout.
Thanks.

Coach.
Yeah. Thanks, kid.

I'm a big fan
of chest voice,

and if they can bring it
into it,

it could be like a big moment
in that song.

You both
have sung with artists

that are outside of your genre
a lot.

How do you navigate being your
own artist next to someone else

who's also such
of their own artist?

Kind of like
what we're doing.

I mean, I think
you're doing a great job of it.

I'm getting like, both of your,

like, your genres
are coming through.

It's just -- It's having the
confidence in your own ability.

Yeah. And do what brought you
to the dance as well.

Don't try and sort of,
like, bend.

I try to chase him down
with all these runs.

Yeah.
I don't run that fast.

[ Laughter ]

That's great,
"What brought you to the dance."

Thanks.
Wait till you see me now,
next week.

Just do what brought you
to the dance.

-Yeah. Yeah.
-Brilliant.

Listen, I'm glad I don't
have to make the final call,

to be honest.

Well, I do.

Niall: I would have never
have put them two together,

but I think that both of them
are quite confident guys,

so I don't think
they'd be rattled by the moment.

I just think
whoever brings --

Does what brought them
to the dance.

That. Whoever does that
is going to win this battle.

That was sick. Yeah.
Sick.

Yeah.
Good. It got better, too.

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back to night one
of the battles.

He looks
totally different.

So good. Ooh!

Wow.

This battle
starts right now.

* Ooo oo oo ooo *

* Ooo oo oo ooo *

* Ooooo *

* It can't be said
I'm an early bird, yeah *

* It's ten o'clock
before I say a word *

* Oh, baby,
I can never tell *

* How do you
sleep so well? *

* Don't you just wanna wake up,
dark as a lake? *

* Smelling like a bonfire,
lost in a haze? *

* If you're drunk on life, babe,
I think it's great *

* But while in this world *

* I think I'll take
my whiskey neat *

Whoo!

* My coffee black
and my bed at three *
That's great.

* You're too sweet for me *

* Ooo, you're too sweet for me,
yeah, yeah *

* Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh *

* Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh *

* Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh *

* Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh *

* I aim low *

* I aim true and the ground's
where I go *

* I work late where I'm free
from the phone *

* And the job gets done
but you worry some, I know *

* You're bright as the morning,
soft as the rain *

* Pretty as a vine,
as sweet as a grape *

* If you can sit in a barrel,
maybe I'll wait *

* Until that day *

* I'd rather take my whiskey *

* Neat *

* My coffee black
and my bed at three, yeah *

* You're too sweet for me *

* Say you're too sweet
for me, yeah *

* I take my whiskey neat *

* My coffee black
and my bed at three *

* You're too sweet for me *

* You're too sweet for me *

* You're too sweet for *

* Me *

* Yeah *

[ Cheers and applause ]

**

Man!
Absolutely loved it.

Revel, you're singing,
you're dancing around,

you're having a wonderful time.
Sound great.

Dustin, you fascinated me from
the blind auditions forward.

Thank you.
You're raw but refined.

You look different.
[ Laughter ]

You're a chameleon.
I think I would choose Dustin.

[ Cheers and applause ]

What's up, Dustin?

[ Conversing in French ]

Oh, showoff!

[ Laughter ]

It's crazy, Dustin.

Yeah, we have different hair,
but we have the same arms.

[ Laughter ]

Michael.

[ Laughs ]

Dust, you are one of
my favorite voices on this show.

Revel, that was a soulful,
gorgeous rendition.

And that comes from
somewhere much deeper.

Thank you so much.

I love you, Dust,
but because of

how outside the pocket
that might have been for you,

Revel, I think today
I might pick you.

Thank you so much.

Niall, you picked a song that
was so perfect for both of them.

Even though it was
outside of Ravel's wheelhouse,

he did an amazing job.

It allowed Dustin to be able
to use his many voices.

Based off of the performance,

I would probably lean
towards Dustin.

[ Cheers and applause ]

dd Thank you, Coaches.
Great battle.

Give us some thoughts on it
first.

I thought the boys did
amazingly.

Revel, your choices on melody
is amazing.

Like, that second verse,

you didn't sing one
of the original melodies.

It was all your own.

Hozier is probably sitting
there going,

"I wish I had chosen that."

Dustin, some of that
controlled rasp, growl

that you've got is amazing.

I'm so glad
I chose this song

because it really opened up
my eyes.

I really wish you didn't pick
each other in the first place.

I don't know what
you were thinking, you idiots.

[ Laughter ]

No, don't do that because you're
putting me in an awful position.

Niall,
the time has come.

Who is the winner
of this battle?

**

The winner of this battle...

**

...is Dustin.

Dustin, congratulations.

You're moving on
to the knockouts

for Team Niall.

Niall: Dustin reminds me of
so many of my favorite singers.

People like Sam Cooke,
Damien Rice.

I think Dustin is the
most unique singer

in this competition.

We could potentially have
a winner in Dustin.

Daly: Revel,
to everybody.

Because the artists
themselves

chose the battle pairings,

it's making the decisions for
everyone really, really tough.

So nice to meet you.

And more than ever,

we're seeing
great talent leave the show.

The size of those arms.

I have to carry around
all of my equipment.

That's why I'm so strong.

Yeah, yeah.

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back
to "The Voice."

Having a blast today.
First day of the battle rounds.

And it's so exciting.

I still have my steal
and I still have my save.

I'm still looking for somebody
that's just right down my alley

that I am really wanting to get.

Six, seven, eight.

* Baby, I want to... *

Kanard:
Choosing a battle partner,

I chose Kenny because our voices
complement each other very well.

I think since our voices
are smooth,

like,
we have similar tones.

I think
that would be a good.

We could collaborate
and bounce off each other.

What you think? Alright.
Kenny: Okay.

I picked Kanard
because I know that he loves R&B

and I'm an R&B head too.

Talk to me.

We would definitely pull
something romantic

for the ladies
and everybody just --

We'll kill it.
I love that angle.

Each day we get together,
we are building a friendship.

Kenny: No negative energy,
no spitefulness.

It's just good job.
Good energy.

Tell me about
the next two.

Okay, so Kenny and Kanard,
right?

They R&B, so they sung
great records to get on my team,

but I just felt like "All
the Things (Your Man Won't Do),"

this Joe record, great to
showcase both of their talents,

to see exactly if
they could complement each other

or if they're going to try
to out-sing each other.

'Cause you know what these kind
of records make you do.

I kind of want to hear
some out-singing.

Me too. Me too.
Some hootin' and hollerin'.

That's what I really want.

Bring 'em out. Bring 'em out.
Alright, let's do it.

Kenny and Kanard!

What up, baby?

What's poppa-loppin'?

Lizzo. Whew!

Nice to meet you.
Oh, she smell good, too.

Seeing a four-time
Grammy Award-winning staple

in the music industry

and she says my name
like she knows me,

I'm just like, man,
how did I get here?

Lizzo: How's your experience
been so far?

Ah, man, I'm still on the high
that Snoop turned for me.

* ...where I'm lost in *

* Underneath the chandelier *

The fact he heard me and said
"I see something in this kid" is

like -- it can make you cry.

Let's go, baby.

Because in middle school,
I was in choir and stuff,

and I got bullied a lot
for doing that.

And now I'm here
and I'm still pinching myself

because I don't believe
it's real.

Who else turned for you?

It don't matter.
Uncle Snoop did.

Hey!
I know that's right.

I was here before
on season 16.

* ...riding with the king *

And I end up winning
the comeback stage.

Kanard.

Thank you so much.
Congratulations.

So for me to come back
to make it

this far,
it's meant to be, so.

You a fighter.
You a champion.
Absolutely. Absolutely.

Y'all know this particular song
that I chose for y'all?

Yes, sir, man.

My dad would play this
all the time.

Him and my mom
would dance.

Aww.

* Tell me what kind
of man *

* Would treat his woman
so cold *

* Mmm, treat you
like you're nothing *

* When you're worth
more than gold *

You could tell
Kenny is a ham.

You know,
he's a performer.

He's trying to go for, like, the
applause and the shock factor.

And I think that once
his voice matches his aura,

he's out of here.

* I'd put a string of pearls
right in your hand *

Kanard is baby Tank, okay?
Yeah.

That's a bra-on-the-stage
kind of voice.

In the '90s, that stage would
have been filled with bras.

* Oh, ohh *

Oh, my God.

Snoop: So, Kenny,
start the beginning off again.

Let me hear the first couple
of lines.

Let me show you something.

* Tell me what * --

See, that's where
you're going wrong.

* Tell me
what kind of man *

* Tell me what kind of man *

Your low register is so
beautiful and feathery.
It is.

You got to --
* Put a string of pearls
right in *

Yes!
Yes.

Why do you keep running
from that tone?

Damn, you can sing.

Nephew, do you understand
what you got?

Kenny: I didn't expect
Lizzo to be up there telling me,

"Oh, do this part.
Oh, I like this."

She's really listening.
Snoop's really listening.

Kanard,
can you take it up an octave?

Yes.
The hook?

* Baby *
* Baby *

Yes. And it feels like
your higher register

is really strong.
Yes.

I kind of want
to hear y'all flip.

Yes.
Amplify your strengths.

Yes.

* Baby *
* Baby *

I think it's going to be
extremely tough

for you to pick
between Kenny and Kanard.

Kenny,
he got the virality.

* ...on a beach
of jet-black sand *

Everybody
would love him.

I could see him going up
on the Internet,

but then Kanard has
that raw talent.

100% that man can sing,
child.

* Nothing is forbidden
when we touch *

So yeah,
you got a tough choice.

Snoop: Whoever gives me
the best feeling

is what I'm gonna go with.

* I'll do them for you *

That's fire.

To win this battle,
it'll solidify, like, I belong.

-Thank you, Snoop.
-Thank you, Snoop.

I've been fighting with that
since I got out here.

That feeling of
you don't belong.

You're so adorable.
You gonna be alright.

Attaboy.
Everybody loves you.

I feel like Kanard
is bringing the heat,

so I gotta step up my game.

Your high register, whoo.
Yeah. I'm excited.

To have this opportunity again,

appearing on "The Voice."
I'm giving it my all.

Kenny, as an artist,
he's very strong,

but one of us has to go home.

I'm not ready to go home.

Bye, guys.

* What good is a diamond *

* Nobody can see? *
That's gonna be good.

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back
to the battles.

Alright!

[ Cheers and applause ]

Okay.

This battle starts now.

Hey, Miss Reba,
this one right here is for you.

Kanard: Let's get them,
Kenny.

Check it out.

* Tell me what kind of man would
treat his woman so cold *

Hey!

* Mmm, treat you
like you're nothing *

* When you're worth
more than gold, yeah *

* Girl, to me
you're like a diamond *

* I love the way
you shine *

* A hundred million
dollar treasure *

* I'd give the world
to make you mine *

* Ahhhh *

* I'd put a string of pearls
right in your hand *

* Make love on a beach
of jet-black sand *

* Outside in the rain *

* We can do it all night *

* Baby, when I start,
I just can't stop *

* I love you
from the bottom to the top *

* Nothing is forbidden
when we touch *

* Oh, baby, I wanna do *

* All of the things
your man won't do *

* I'll do them for you *

* Oh, baby, I wanna do *

* All of the things
your man won't do *

* I'll do them for you *
* Yeah *

* Baby, when I start
I just can't stop *

* I love you from
the bottom to the top *
* To the top *

* Nothing is forbidden
when we touch *

* Lady, I wanna do *
* Ooh *

* All of the things
your man won't do *
Whoa.

* Every little thing *

* I'll do them for you *

* Baby *

* I wanna do *

* All of the things
your man won't do *
* Hey *

* I'm gonna, I'm gonna *

* Oh, oh, oh, oh *
* I'll do them for you *

* I'll do them for you *

[ Cheers and applause ]

**

Yes. Yeah.

[ Laughs ]

This studio
is usually freezing cold,

but it just got
a little bit warmer there, boys.

[ Laughter ]

Kanard, you're slick.
Thank you.

There's something
real nostalgic about your voice,

and you look --
I like the fit.

Thank you.
And Kenny,

the performance element to
your game is just so good, man.

You sung so much better today
than you did

in your blind audition, and
your blind audition was great.

Thank you.
I definitely wouldn't have
put you two together.

I would have been trying
to keep you two

as far apart as possible.

[ Laughter ]

Kanard and Kenny,
I absolutely love the song.

It was dope and fire.

Go ahead, Reba.

'Cause I'm from Oklahoma,
I'm going to say it was "far."

[ Laughter ]

The confidence level
is unbelievable.

I love your voices.
And, Snoop,

good luck with this one,
buddy.

What you did was so sweet.
Both of you.

Kenny was going for it.
He was ambitious.

And sometimes
when you're that ambitious,

you'll miss a little bit.

But listen, man,
music isn't about perfection.

It's about vibe, you know?

Thank you.

Kanard, such a sweet tone,
man.
Thank you.

I felt you got what
you went for.

You got two beautiful dudes
here.

You're in a good way
no matter what.

So congratulations, gents.

Thank you, Coaches.

Alright, Unc,
you got a tough decision

to make here in a few minutes.

Give us some thoughts
on the battle first, please.

I want to start with you
first, Kanard.

Lizzo wanted you to lean in
on your strengths

and feature that upper register,
and you delivered.

Thank you.

[ Cheers and applause ]

And, Kenny, that lower
register -- You did it.

Yes, sir.
You went right to it,
and you stayed there.

And then you went falsetto
when you needed to.

Yes.
Great work on both sides.

-Thank you, Snoop.
-Thank you so much.

Daly: Alright, Snoop.
The time has come.

Who is the winner
of this battle?

Wow. Whew. Mm.

[ Groaning ]

**

**

The winner of this battle
is Kenny.

Kenny!
Congratulations.

You're moving on
to the knockouts.

Snoop: Kenny was
where I leaned to

because he actually performed.

He spoke to Miss Reba
when he kicked his verse off

like "This for you, Miss Reba."

I seen him grow
from that week to this week.

I'd imagine what he'd look like
with a little bit more coaching.

Oh. Ohhh. Thank you.

Snoop believe in you,
man.

I ain't having somebody
believe in me in a long time.

So -- Ah!

Daly: Kanard Thomas,
ladies and gentlemen.

Kanard versus Kenny
was two singers

that I didn't want to go against
each other.

These are some of the toughest
decisions that I have to make.

But to me,
it's not the end of the road.

It's only the beginning.

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back.

[ Cheers and applause ]

I'm psyched. Psyched.

-90 seconds.
-Let's get it.

The stakes are pretty high.
It's the second round.

All you need to think about
is just having a good time.

Yes, sir.

Then if I win my battle,
I'm going to be very thankful.

My blind audition,
it was a dream.

I knew that just changed
my life right there.

You deserve to be
on this show.

Let them fight over you,

and I will
steal you later.

Daly: Austin Gilbert.

Let's go, Austin.

Austin: My fiancée, Brittni,
we have a baby on the way,

so I just got to be on point
with everything.

I want to make them proud today.

Daly: Rob Cole.

To win this battle,
I've gotta be on my A game.

I'm here for a second chance.

I want to make
every moment count.

Going from no chairs
in season 25

to seeing Reba get blocked,
it's mind boggling.

I love country music
so very much.

I'm pumped.

I'd love to win this battle
to show my daughters

that Daddy's a winner.

About to go on the stage
and give it the best I got.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Kelsea:
We have some country artists.

And they're both really good.

After watching the blinds,

I do think this is
your hardest pairing.

You want to lock in?

[ Both speak indistinctly ]

Tell me what's up.

It feels natural
that we would be put together

based on country.
Absolutely.
We would kill it together.

Rob: Extremely excited
to sing with Austin.

We're gonna give y'all
a good old country showdown.

Just waiting on Austin
to get here.

He was out riding his horse
or something.

Oh, there he is.

[ Laughs ]

Austin: Rob and I have made
a lot of great memories

so far already together.

You can tell we've been working
super hard today

because, um...
Sweaty.

He can just take any song
and make it his own.

There is a little intimidation
with that.

I'm not the greatest
at doing that myself,

so I'm gonna push myself even
harder than I ever have before.

You want to bring 'em in?

Let's do it.
Can I get a yee-haw?

-Yee-haw! Hello.
-Yee-haw!

Hi.
Kelsea Ballerini,

when she stands up and walks
towards me, I'm like...

Welcome back.
Thank you.

It's nice to be back.
It blew my mind.

She's won a ton
of country music awards.

Been nominated for five Grammys.

And that's crazy awesome.

Very nice to meet you.
Oh, nice to meet you.

That's such a gentleman move
right there.

Austin: Me and Rob are the only
country musicians on Team Bublé.

It's a great advantage for us to
learn from a country musician.

Insane.

Michael, I know that you have
performed on the Grand Ole Opry.

How does it feel
to perform on that stage

and just know there's
so much country music history?

That night for me was one of the
biggest inspirations ever had.

Kelsea was there.

I was so moved
that I called my record company

and I said,
"I want to make a record

that pays tribute
to my love of country."

That's what the Opry
did for me.

That would be my dream
to perform there someday.

Well, you will.
Believe that.

-Yeah. 100%.
-Yes, ma'am.

I love country music so much.
Yeah.

And Blake Shelton's my buddy,
so I picked "Honey Bee."

Great song.
I thought, like, how cool.

Kind of pay tribute to Blake.
Let's do it.

I'm standing up
for this.
Wow.

I wanna feel it
in my bones.

* Girl, I been
thinkin' 'bout us *

Kelsea: Austin and Rob,
I really like them.

* These feelings piling up *

Rob has
the country-adjacent sound,

kind of
Americana a little bit.

A little more folk
to his voice.

* I'll be your honey bee *

Sounding good, AG.

Thank you, Rob.
Very cute.

* This might come out
a little country *

Kelsea: Austin leans a little
bit more traditional country.

He has that gravelly,
really masculine sound that

I think is all over commercial
country radio right now.

* You be
my little Loretta *

They are very different.

This song lets them both
have their moment.
Yeah.

Both:
* I'll be your honey bee *

Nice.
Come on, boy, come on.

Bublé:
I love it when you improvise.

This is your song now,

and you're allowed to take it
and bend it to your will.

Blake would be happy to hear you
do your version of Blake's song.

Whatever change
you make to it,

you just have to be
100% committed.

Yes, ma'am.

Rob: Austin is a lover of good
old '90s vibe country music.

That really intimidates me
a little bit about him.

This specific song,

it's a really twangy
country song,

but I bring a little bit
of soulfulness.

Some of the raspiness.

I think just me being me
gives me a good chance.

I know you're a family guy.

How do you
balance everything?

There is no balance,
and you have one choice,

and that is to put your family
first.

Your children, it inspires them
to know in their life

that if they want to
achieve their dreams,

that sometimes they're
going to have to make

tough decisions too.

You do your best
every day.

I definitely want to
keep going,

to keep proving to myself
that I belong here.

I want my kids to know no
is not the same thing as never.

Whatever that looks like
for them and their lives,

I hope that they never quit.

* I'll be your honey bee *

Way to go, gents.

In that rehearsal,

I think the last 20 seconds
fell apart.

Okay.
And I want to make sure
that you stick the landing,

rehearse with each other
as much as you can,

just so you don't lose
the train off the tracks

in that last little homestretch.

Austin and Rob, I think
when it comes down to it,

the person that'll show
the most potential

of sort of being a star
is the one

that's going to walk away
the winner that day.

I'll see you at the Opry.

Yes, ma'am, I will.
That's right.

Yee-haw!
Let's go battle!

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back
to the battles premiere.

Can you open your shirt
more, please?

[ Laughter ]
Oh, yeah.

This battle begins right now.

Come on, y'all.

Oh, I love this song.

* Oh, oh, yeah *

* Girl, I been thinkin'
'bout us *

* And you know
I ain't good at this stuff *

* But these
feelings piling up *

* Won't give me no rest *

* This might come out
a little crazy *

* A little sideways,
yeah, maybe *

* I don't know how long it'll
take me but I'll do my best *

* If you'll be
my soft and sweet *

* I'll be your strong
and steady *

* You be
my glass of wine *

* I'll be your
shot of whiskey *

* You be my sunny day *

* I'll be your shade tree *

* You be my honeysuckle *

* I'll be your honey bee *

Sounding good, AG.

Thank you, Rob.

Yeah, man.

* Yeah, that came out
a little country *

* But every word was
right on the money *

* And I got you smilin', honey,
right back at me *

* Whoa, now hold on
'cause I ain't done *

* There's more where
that came from *

* Well, you know I'm just
havin' fun, but seriously *

* If you'll be my Louisiana *

* I'll be your Mississippi *

* You be my little Loretta *

* I'll be your Conway Twitty *

* You be my sugar baby *

* I'll be

Whoo! Whoo!

This place used to be
Blake Shelton's too.
Uh-huh.

I felt the spirit
of Blake Shelton

when y'all were
singing that.

Come on.

Something in his seat
moved my legs.

Austin,
I love your energy.

I love the way
you was engaging the crowd.

And your vocals sounded amazing.

Thank you so much.

Brother Rob, I was loving
how you was plucking, singing.

Trying, trying.

You know what I'm saying?
You don't have to move

when you actually moving it with
your vocals the way you was.

I would say Austin

for showmanship
and just engagement.

But as far as vocals,
I would say Rob.

Thank you, brother.
Thank you.
Yes, sir.

Niall: Austin, the way you
performed the song was amazing.

The energy of the room
got up when you started singing.

And Rob, I just love
how you remind me of some

of my favorite country singers.

Just clear as day.
You can understand every word.

Maybe we lean a little bit
towards Rob.

Thank you.

Reba:
I can tell y'all were really
having a lot of fun together.

You're lifting each other up.

You've both got great voices,

but I think I would have
to go with Austin on this one.

Okay.
So it's kind of torn.

Kind of pulled here.

Daly: Thank you, Coaches.
Alright, Michael,

you've got a tough decision
to make here in a few minutes.

But give us some thoughts
on the battle first.

Austin, I know you can sing.

Your tone, your pitch,
all of it's perfect.

You have a sweet,
beautiful voice.

Rob, I thought today was your
best and you were just at ease.

Your performance was
absolutely great.

Thank you so much.

Michael,
the time has come.

Who is the winner
of this battle?

**

The winner of this battle is...

...Rob Cole.
Whoo!

Rob, congratulations.

You're moving on to the
knockouts for Team Bublé.

Austin versus Rob,
both amazing country singers.

But Rob is my country superstar.

Let's go, baby.

He is a versatile guy.

I think he's a real
charismatic artist.

That image of not getting a
chair turn the first time I came

haunted me.

No does not mean never.

And I'm proof of it
standing right here.

Daly: Coaches,
let me remind you

that Austin is available
to steal.

Anything you want to say
to your coach?

I never thought in my life
I would be here.

Thank you guys
very much.

Give it up
for Austin Gilbert, everybody.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Thank you.
Thank you so much, brother.

We got a steal!

You just got saved
by Reba.

Reba stealing from Team Bublé.

Let's go!

[ Cheers and applause ]

Reba, talk to us.
Why do you want to steal Austin?

Austin, your enthusiasm,
your big heart,

your gorgeous voice.

**

You're a cowboy.

I'm so thrilled that you're now
a part of Team Reba.

Thank you so much, Reba.
Come on down.

Reba: I loved everything
about Austin.

He had a childlike attitude
about him.

My fiancée is sitting right
here pregnant with my baby.

Oh!
So thank you so much
for making my dreams come.

You're very welcome.

I just loved his voice.

That's why I wanted
to steal him.

I think it's going to
really do well for my team.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Come here, mama.

[ Crying ]

How are you?
So good.

Here's my new best friend
right here.

Oh, my gosh.
Thank you.

I'm gonna make you proud,
ma'am.

I don't have a doubt
in my mind.
