America, you're not here, but we see you on the big board!

Hello. Welcome back to the battles, everybody.

Unfortunately, Kelly couldn't be with us.

Kelsea, thank you for representing her tonight.

How's it going so far? It's been amazing.

I'm excited to see who brings this thing home at the end.

Nick, not easy to do what Kelsea did...

Come into "The Voice"

and help represent Team Kelly with Kelly.

What are your thoughts? I'm very, very impressed.

I'm not surprised. She's a pro.

I particularly love

how little reverence she has for Blake Shelton.

Yes, that is refreshing.

- Picked up on that very quickly. - Yeah.

He's like my country buddy. I have to.

We all call him Pa now because of you.

Pops. Pops Shelton.

We've got some great performances ahead.

It is time to get to it.

The battles continue right now.

Alright, Team Blake. Cam Anthony.

Cam Anthony! You are battling Emma Caroline.

What? Emma Caroline.

What? Oh, my God.

That's gonna be a mash-up right there.

I was quite interested to see what that would be like,

because we have such different voices

and completely different genres.

Let's make some magic, Emma. Let's do it. I'm ready.

Whoa! People!

My people are here! Emma: Hello.

What's up? What's up? How's it going?

How you doing? Cam? Emma?

Yes, sir. Yes.

See how good I am at this? So good.

And you're Blake. You're Blake. That's right.

You remembered my name. Hey, you know?

So, this is an interesting pairing, right?

It is. Yeah.

When you pair two completely different

genres of music together like this,

you try and think, like, what's a song that works?

And "10,000 Hours" is, you know, a huge record right now.

This song by Dan + Shay and Justin Bieber

is a natural, perfect song

because it's pop and it's country artists

coming together, which is what we have here.

So, I figured, your mentors, it ought to be these guys.

Hey, guys. What's up?

Oh, my God. No way. So, that's Dan + Shay.

Yes, here we are. Hey.

We tried to come through the wall.

And the guys were like, "Oh, no!"

Dan + Shay, their harmonies are sick.

Singing the song in front of the guys who wrote it

is quite intimidating, mainly because

they are the ones who created it. It's their baby.

What's going on, guys? We have to sing y'all's song to you.

Yes. No pressure.

No pressure at all. Blake tried to do it earlier,

and it was pretty uncomfortable. Yeah.

So I'd love to hear you guys do it.

You won't do worse than I did.

I'm excited, man. This is gonna be really, really cool.

Yeah, where are you guys from? I'm from Tuscaloosa, Alabama,

but I live in Nashville.

Roll tide, or... Roll tide.

Roll tide. Roll tide.

She said "Roll tide."

The blind auditions were a dream for me.

♪ It's a slow burn ♪

Sometimes my nerves get in the way,

but Blake saw something unique in me,

and that means so much to me.

For the last three years in Nashville,

I've been grinding it out, just going to songwriter rounds

and sharing my music with people.

This is just the biggest opportunity that I've ever had.

3, 4.

♪ Do you love the rain, does it make you dance ♪

♪ When you're drunk with your friends at a party ♪

"10,000 Hours," that's a special song.

We wrote that song in Nashville with a couple friends.

We had this crazy idea,

"We should send this song to Justin Bieber."

It was just, like, a Hail Mary,

but that song went on to change our lives.

It exposed our music to people

in... in places that we'd never even heard.

♪ Oh, if that's what it takes ♪ Cam: This is a love song, and how I relate is

if you really love something... ♪ To learn that sweet heart of yours ♪

...you'll spend 10,000 hours and 10,000 more.

I've been putting half of my life

into working as a musician.

It was all great when I was younger.

Now things aren't necessarily going great,

and I've kind of learned you got to be willing to work.

Whoa! Come on.

I grew up in a not-so-great area.

Music was something that I always turned to.

When I was younger, my family and I

would take a road trip to see my grandparents.

It was open road, and you could smell the grass.

This song takes me back to that place.

♪ You ♪ ♪ I'm gonna love you ♪

I think I got away with one in the Blinds with Cam.

I was blocked!

What's not to like about Cam's voice?

Watching this guy perform, you really realize

you're looking at somebody who could be a big star.

♪ I'm gonna love you ♪ ♪ I'm gonna love you ♪

Emma's voice is really cool because it combines soulful runs

with this mountain country sound in there.

It's a neat blend. Our work here is done.

Oh, my God, dude! Wow. Wow.

I legitimately have chills.

My chair's already turned,

but it'd be turned like... Yeah.

Absolutely unbelievable. They sang it better than we do.

I had goose bumps, and it was just... It was amazing.

I'm crying a little bit.

Cam, did you grow up singing in church?

I did. I did, as well.

I have some of that R&B influence

and kind of gospel background.

I can... I can hear it definitely in your voice.

Unbelievable. Thank you.

Ridiculous. It's upsetting.

This... I'm going to leave.

I'm going to get out of here. They're too good.

I can't thank you guys enough

for getting Shay to leave here.

You know, you guys both made the song your own,

and it's better than the original.

I love the fact that we've gone back

to this stripped-down version of rehearsing with piano and guitar

because I'm really hearing all the little details.

And the thing about you two that strikes me first

is how great you both are at harmonies.

I mean, those are, like, amazing moments,

especially, like, the lift that you guys were doing.

On the very end, I feel like there's one more opportunity

to just go, ♪ I'm gonna love you ♪

I would do whatever they suggest,

since they sort of wrote the song.

It worked for them.

This is a harder song to sing

than probably people would assume.

Kicks us when we go to sing it live.

Yeah. Any notes that you feel like,

"I could go higher and hit this"...

Might never get there ♪

Okay. ♪ I'm gonna try ♪

Cam is performing like he's the leader of the band.

And even though, vocally, you stand toe-to-toe with Cam,

he is performing, and you're singing. Totally.

I've been insecure in my life, caring what other people think.

Being on a huge stage in front of America is a scary thing.

I need to let loose, let go, enjoy myself,

and not let the nerves get the best of me.

You have superpowers in your talent.

That's how we all feel when we hear you. Oh, my God.

We're literally looking at you

like, "What is coming out of her mouth?"

I can do it in my room by myself,

so I just need to imagine...

Just look like you own the moment.

You want to be sure we understand

your superpowers

and you're excited to be here.

Here I am, a soul R&B artist,

and I'm faced with three legends in country music

and a song that's out of my wheelhouse.

So I'm definitely going to have to step up my game.

I cannot wait to... to hear this.

Well, I hope we get to do it justice.

Hearing Cam and Emma do our song, they're incredible, man.

I mean, they truly made it shine.

As artists, they are two different genres

coming together, but they're both phenomenal.

If I was Blake, I would have the toughest time

having to pick between the two. Absolutely.

Our work here is done. You guys are doing your job,

because I have no clue what's going to happen.

Yeah. You guys... Thank y'all so much.

Thank you so much. It's so nice to meet you.

I can't wait to see what you guys do. You're awesome.

Can they both win?

Come on, man. Let's do it.

Can't start till you... There you go.

Sit down, cowboy.

Oopsie.

It's like an airplane taking off. You gotta...

All the passengers have to be seated.

Cam, Emma, very, very nice.

Blake, well done. Good coaching.

Wow. Thank you, Nick Jonas.

It's the only compliment I'm going to give you today.

Emma, you've got this really pure, beautiful tone

that I think makes you stand out.

Cam, you have a real gift. There's no denying it.

Your stage presence, your breath control was phenomenal.

Thank you. And you made some really cool choices.

I would have to say I would go with Cam. Okay.

But, Emma, I think you are phenomenal. Thank you.

Emma, your tone is really lovely...

That clarity, that grace, the power.

It's really enjoyable to listen to your voice.

And, Cam, Nick Jonas blocked me

when I wanted to have Cam on my team. Ah.

This is true. I don't think you had a chance anyway, to be honest.

I think you had a pretty good chance.

I think I had a decent chance. Yeah.

You really seem to sing with passion

and... and fire and conviction.

That conviction pushed me over the edge

with you a little bit more.

But I think you couldn't go wrong either way.

When John, Nick, and Blake all talk about your tone

and how amazing it is, I hope it makes you feel like a superhero,

'cause it would make me feel like a superhero.

That's your magic power.

And I want to see you put your shoulders back

and own it a little bit more.

I could see you do, like, one of these, one of these "hey"s

at one point, and I was like, "Yes!"

Cam, you're so confident onstage.

And it's beautiful to see the way that you played to her

and the way you played to us and the cameras

and the people at home watching. That is so impressive.

You're 19. When I was 19, I was just like, "What's up?

Am I still in college? I don't know."

Congratulations for being so awesome.

Thank you, Kelsea.

Thank you, coaches. Blake, final decision is yours.

Give us some thoughts.

Emma, you're an incredible vocalist,

and it only appeared

that you were having as much fun as we were listening to you

in the moments where you weren't singing.

It's frustrating to know you're that great of a singer,

and I don't know that you believe

that you're that great of a singer

because of your body language.

Cam, your singing is unbelievable.

Your presence onstage,

you look like you were born to do that.

Thank you so much.

Blake, who is the winner of this battle?

Uh...

The winner of this battle is Cam.

Thank you.

Alright, Cam. Daly: Cam Anthony, congratulations!

You're moving on to the knockouts.

Cam, he's just got that thing about him.

Sky's the limit with this guy.

We just got to figure out what songs he wants to sing,

who he wants to be as an artist.

That's the journey for he and I moving forward.

This is crazy. Being on Team Blake

is definitely stretching me as an artist,

but it's a dope challenge.

Coaches, let me remind you

Emma's available to Steal or Save.

Emma, what would you like to say to Blake?

I just want to thank you so much

for seeing something in me and turning your chair.

This journey has just been incredible.

Give it up for Emma Caroline

one more time, everybody.

Thank you.

Okay, Emma.

Whoa, we got a Save!

Oh.

Oh! Daly: We have a Save

in the last second!

Why'd you have to do that to me? Yeah, way to make her sweat.

I wanted to scare some stage presence into you, okay?

You did, you did.

Okay? I will dance around now.

Emma, you have a gift. I mean, you really do.

And you're so much more than someone's backup singer.

You deserve to be in the front of the stage,

but you got to give us something to see.

I promise I will. That's what we're gonna work on.

I wasn't gonna let you go home. Thank you.

I did want to scare you a little bit.

You definitely did, so thank you.

Mission accomplished.

Congratulations. Congratulations, Emma.

We'll see you in the four-way knockout.

I can't believe it.

I'm just over the moon. I'm so thankful.

Ah, I can just see my dreams unfolding, so it's beautiful.

Way to go, Blake.

I didn't Steal Emma because it wasn't the right fit.

I was thrilled to see her get Saved by Blake.

And I'm keeping it in my back pocket for the perfect voice.

You do have a heart after all.

Does he, though? Y'all are just bullying me.

Yes. We're bullying you?

Is that what he... Yeah.

Oh, sure. That's what's happening.

He's always beat up upon, just kind to everyone all the time.

He's not vindictive. No.

Doesn't hold grudges. And people just pick on him.

It's nice to hear this.

Yeah.

Coming up... Luis Fonsi!

Ber, ber, ber, ber! I'm Luis.

Welcome back to Night 2 of the battles.

Team Kelly's awesome. I feel like I inherited

just by nature really great people. So thanks, Kelly.

Wow, amazing performances already.

I've still got my Steal, so I feel good.

Feel good. I'm going to get back in there.

Team Legend is not only doing well,

but they're doing even better than I expected.

And I'm so excited to keep going.

I just realized something.

You have the one song in history I'm afraid to cover,

"Despacito." I have practiced... Aw, come on. You have to cover it now.

No, no, no. I have practiced so hard,

'cause I love singing in Spanish, as well,

or in just different languages. Yeah.

It is a lot of lyrics. It's wordy for me.

And it's like the biggest song of all time.

Yeah. You're kind of like, "You know what?

I'm gonna leave that alone. I'll leave it alone."

Are you ready? Let's go!

I'm so ready. Whoo!

- Look how cute they are. - How you guys doing?

This is Luis Fonsi! Say hello!

- Hi! Hi. - Hello!

Nice to meet you guys.

Our adviser is Luis Fonsi, and, ooh!

He's, you know, such a sexy, sophisticated artist.

You guys look like rock stars already. I love it.

I know!

I'm a huge fan of the song "Despacito."

Everybody jams to that song.

I am so stoked that y'all get Luis to help...

Me, too... because you actually are having

two "Voice" coaches right now.

He knows it's a different thing to make a record

and to navigate a competition.

You're probably wondering why I paired you.

Your performances were very different in the Blinds.

♪ To bring back the fire in her eyes ♪

For my blind audition, I sang

"She Used To Be Mine" by Sara Bareilles

from the musical "Waitress." ♪ That's been gone ♪

♪ But used to be mine ♪ It was one of the most

breathtaking experiences of my life.

As soon as I walked on that stage,

everything kind of became a blur.

And I was like, "Oh, Gihanna, you can't stop singing."

I was like, "You can't stop singing."

♪ Used to be mine ♪ "You're on the show."

Is that your mama?

What's up, Mama?

I've obviously navigated

a singing competition myself before.

I feel like we'd be good fit together.

♪ You're beautiful ♪ Oh.

♪ But it's not for sure ♪

♪ That I won't ever change ♪ Halley: I am so grateful.

I mean, I had barely gotten out the first two lines

when Kelly turned around.

♪ And though my love is rare ♪

If I hadn't been so focused,

I think my eyes would have just, like, popped open,

just like, "Wait, what?"

Your voice is so pure and it's so intimate

and it's so beautiful.

I kind of love hitting people in the feels.

It's kind of my thing.

Obviously, you sang different vibes in the Blinds,

but that's why I gave you

"Thinking Out Loud" from Ed Sheeran.

Any genre could sing it.

♪ When your legs don't work like they used to before ♪

Even though it is probably so far away,

"Thinking Out Loud" is probably a song

I would definitely play at my wedding.

The lyrics, they really tell the perfect story

of what I think love feels like.

I really only hope that I can find true love one day.

♪ Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks ♪

Even though my parents' marriage didn't work out, I have hope.

When my parents first split,

the arts was really just a way for me to escape reality.

It was really just my way of being able to cope

with everything that was going on.

Singing is my main way of really expressing myself.

So it was just so crazy to be able to even have

this opportunity at "The Voice."

♪ Well, me I fall in love with you every single day ♪

When I first found out

that I was singing against Gihanna,

I was both excited and intimidated.

That girl is 17, but she can sing her brains out.

I was like, "Okay,

I'm going to have my work cut out for me here."

♪ Take me into your loving arms ♪

Wow.

♪ Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars ♪

♪ Place your head on my beating heart ♪

Halley has that old-school rock 'n' roll,

but a lot of emotion in her voice,

and that's what I love the most.

Gihanna is just control.

♪ Oh, baby, we found love ♪ She can do so much with her falsetto,

with her chest voice, where it's just like, ah, it's huge.

It's just incredible vocals.

Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

Wait.

What?! Hold on a second.

That was really great! Thank you!

Halley, w-what just happened?

You know what I'm talking about. Are you talking about the high note?

Yeah! I'm talking about the high note. It was like a high fals...

Halley has this incredible gift of a voice.

She can just belt out of nowhere.

It threw me back.

You better keep that part in.

That was so, like, shocking.

And I was like, "Wait, what?" with your range.

Kelly Clarkson just told me that I nailed my crazy high note.

I got something going on. I should keep doing it.

Holly? Holly? Is that... Halley.

Halley. Ugh! I thought I was going to do right.

It's okay. Halley. Halley.

Halley. He practiced it, too.

He was like, "Halley. Halley." It's tough for us,

you know, Latinos to sound... Halley.

Think about just the storytelling side

of that first verse.

Don't sing out so much.

You almost have to think that you're not singing it.

You're just, like, speaking it, 'cause then when you open up,

your tone is out of this world.

I relate to Ed Sheeran as an artist

because he's a singer-songwriter.

For as much as this song is just a sweet, beautiful love song,

it's also about mortality,

and it's appreciating the moments

that we have with our loved ones

and not taking anything for granted.

For the past four years,

I've been teaching high school science.

But then I stumbled into the Seattle music scene,

so I'm really happy to reach a broader audience.

I'd like more ache from you.

Okay. I just like holding that out.

♪ So, honey, now ♪

♪ Take me into your loving arms ♪

Sorry.

I shouldn't have eaten cheese last night, apparently...

...'cause it's still sitting on my cords.

But it was worth it, and it was a nice smoked Gouda,

if you were wondering.

Gihanna, I mean, just perfectly done.

Your dynamics are gorgeous.

That's super sexy. It is!

I love the fact that you're starting in your low register,

'cause then you open up. Is that low for you in the beginning?

Not necessarily. Probably like starting it out.

I just wanted to hear it a little bit heavier.

Mm-hmm. It would be cool to have a little bit

more of like a fine wine, like a real warm body. Right.

Like a nice Bordeaux.

Gihanna, I mean, she came in swingin',

but I was missing that kind of intimacy.

I need to feel like you're really selling this song,

not the melody.

You know, sweet is cool, but I also want it to be, like,

you know, that kind of raw passion, as well.

To me, the challenges of this song

would probably be being able to feel it as much as I can,

being able to really make people who doknow what that feels like

be able to feel it through my music.

♪ People fall in love in mysterious ways ♪

I think from this battle with Halley and Gihanna,

it's going to take whoever's going to be steady

and show me who they are as an artist.

That was so good! That was amazing.

In that take, it was you.

It was like you're just baring all,

like that "Love Actually" moment when he said...

And it's actually wrong, 'cause he shouldn't be

at his best friend's house with a girl, but I just...

It's super wrong.

But... But I just mean, you've got the cards.

You're standing there at the door,

and you're just like, "This is it."

And that's how it felt so personal.

You guys came super prepared, and you nailed it. Mm.

Halley's got such a different style,

especially when she puts so much emotion behind those long notes.

Gihanna, it's incredible. She's only 17,

and she's already singing like that?

Bye, guys. Bye! Thank you. See you later.

Well, I can't wait to meet these guys and hear them sing.

Gihanna is just a solid singer.

Holy cow. Halley, are you still a science teacher?

I resigned last year so I could pursue music.

I'm a big fan of the periodic table, so I just, you know...

Alright, alright.

What's your favorite element?

Platinum is the one we all go for.

Yes, that's what we try to do.

Your voice is very different, and it's kind of quirky.

You're not like anybody else. Just a really cool voice.

Gihanna, you're 17,

but your voice is older than that.

And to have that kind of swagger onstage is really good.

Thank you so much.

Halley, you have a wonderful energy.

There's something so nice about it, something... Quirky.

She has a personality, a vocal personality.

You do have all the makings of a great singer.

And then, Gihanna, you shined in this performance

even more so than the first time I heard you sing

and you went with Kelly instead of me... I'm sorry!

...which I'm not bitter about. Good choice. Good choice, buddy.

If I had closed my eyes,

I would have thought Beyoncé was here.

Oh, wait, hey. Hey.

The biggest compliment.

Kelsea, if I were you, I would go with Gihanna here.

Thank you. Maybe you should text that to her.

I'm gonna text Kelly right now. Over Kelly's... Kelly's text.

Yeah, I just want Halley to be very clear

that when people are saying you have a unique voice,

that's your superpower, you know? Mm-hmm.

I'd rather you be interesting than sound like everybody else.

Gihanna, a lot of times

when singers are your age,

they can't do the lows andthe highs.

From the moment you entered, I was like, "Sing, Gihanna!"

It was like, wow, you are just fantastic.

Thank you, coaches.

Kelsea, how about your thoughts on the battle?

Kelly's told me a lot of stuff.

She's blowing me up right now. She loves both of you.

Halley, I just want to tell you,

I grew up listening to Kelly and Carrie,

female powerhouse singers.

I quickly realized that that is not what my voice does.

Maybe I'm having my own therapy session right now.

That's what's happening on TV in front of you. "You're good enough. You're smart enough."

But I just wanted you to know that.

Quirky's a good thing, and you are worthy,

and all the good things. Thank you.

Gihanna, you have a presence onstage

like you've been doing it all 17 years that you've been alive.

I mean, good God.

You're such a technically perfect singer

that Kelly wanted you to just not think about it so much

and let go a little bit more, and I felt like you did.

I got to watch your rehearsal and, obviously, your Blind,

and I-I-I saw growth from both.

She did, too.

You guys are both incredibly talented people.

Kelsea, the time has come.

Who is the winner of this Team Kelly battle?

The winner of this battle...

...is Gihanna.

- Thank you. Thank you so much. - Gihanna, congratulations!

I picked Gihanna and Kelly picked Gihanna

because she is one of the best singers

we've seen in all of the battles.

And she's still so young,

and there's still so much time in this competition

for her to grow between now and the finale.

Like, imagine what can happen.

Thank you all so much.

Gihanna blew me away.

I was legitimately thinking it was Beyoncé,

and I was about to be like,

"Oh, my God. The Queen Bey is with us."

I think that she could make it all the way to the finale.

You are moving on to the knockouts for Team Kelly!

I'm so excited to continue working with Kelly

through this competition.

Oh!

Oh, my God. I'm so proud of you.

Thank you.

Give it up one more time for Halley Greg.

Great job.

♪ Take me into your loving arms ♪

♪ This is "The Voice" ♪

Welcome back to the battle rounds.

Kelsea's... Doing a great job.

I really think Blake is a little shook.

I know that you're filling in for Kelly.

Yeah. And she is coming back,

but there's no reason we can't work together.

We'll be like a duo, like "Shellerini" or... or "Belsea."

The one thing she told me was to try to beat you, so...

So we'll encourage her. Destroy Blake.

Yeah. And it'll clear the path

for me to win, and you get second place.

A version of that.

Kelly's on a beach. She's not sick,

and she's not here doing the work

that she's making you do, okay?

So just keep that in mind, Kelsea. I tried.

Well, one of us is a liar here, and it ain't me.

Tried to help you.

Durell Anthony, you are battling Zania!

Hey! Whoo!

Let's do it. Let's get it.

We got this. I can't wait.

So, Brandy? Yes?

We've got two more soulful singers.

We got Zania.

♪ Sweet ♪

She came out here and delivered on an Anita Baker song.

I was so happy.

I did my old-man two-step in my seat.

And Durell...

♪ What's going on ♪

...played piano and sang.

He's got a very cool falsetto.

I love that kind of in-between voice

that goes between your head and your chest voice

really beautifully.

Wait till they see you, though.

I'm going to love their reaction.

I'm so excited.

Hey, what's up? Dang!

How are you?

Brandy's here, y'all. Oh, my God!

Nice to meet y'all. Wow.

When I saw that it was Brandy, I couldn't even talk.

I'm like... I'm on cloud nine right now. This...

I grew up on her music, and I've always studied her craft.

Wow. Wow.

Brandy is so cool, man. Like, growing up in the '90s,

you couldn't even really turn on the radio

without hearing Brandy's voice.

You couldn't turn on the TV without seeing "Moesha."

It's just... It's amazing.

Both of you kind of have a Motown...

Like, a classic energy to you.

And I wanted you to do, like, a soulful song together.

I was listening to the Destiny's Child version

of "Emotions," a great Bee Gees song.

♪ Where are you now ♪

My heart is beating fast.

My wife loves that song. She plays it all the time.

She plays the Destiny's Child version a lot.

And I was thinking how cool it would be

to hear two of our singers doing that on "The Voice."

♪ I'll cry me a river that leads to your ocean ♪

♪ You never see me fall apart ♪

Durell's falsetto is unstoppable.

♪ In the words of a broken heart it's just emotion ♪

Zania, her voice is very, very powerful.

♪ Tied up in sorrow, lost in my soul ♪

She does have buttery tone.

♪ But if you don't come back ♪

♪ Come home to me, darling ♪

♪ You know that there'll be nobody left in this world ♪

Another great pair of amazing singers.

♪ To hold me tight ♪

Yeah.

These arrangements are super on-point and...

Yes, I love the modulation.

Yes, the modulation. The modulation.

It's just like... It's all working.

Zania and I have put in a lot of time on that arrangement

trying to get it just right.

Right.

With John complimenting our arrangement,

it definitely feels like the perfect song.

I love the old, soulful stuff. And my mom sings,

my dad plays piano, all that Motown stuff.

So anytime I hear oldies, I just think of my childhood

and when I first fell in love with music.

I'm always singing at home

and playing piano and trying to write songs.

And my daughter's of the age now where she kind of wants to sing.

My son's a little bit younger,

so he's learning Daddy loves to sing.

And when I'm not playing music, I'm with them during the day.

We do everything together.

I would love to win this for my family. That's why I'm here.

There is a moment where he goes low, when she's...

They do the key change? When they do the key change.

Yes. Is there a way to go...

To go up? Yeah.

I'm down to try it.

You use everything that you have to express it out,

everybody's going to feel it. It's noticeable when you drop down.

It totally is. Your false is gorgeous.

If you feel like you can do it,

then it'll make it sound bigger, you know? Mm-hmm.

I wanted him to stay in his falsetto

because Zania's singing way up there.

I just feel like they can just parallel a little bit better.

We want our artists not only to be good at singing,

but to be good at storytelling too.

So think about what you're singing,

how it applies to your life.

I relate to this song because of a breakup.

♪ And where are you now ♪

We were together for about 17 years.

It's pretty fresh. I'm still trying to process it.

It makes me sad. There's still love there.

And even though you love someone else,

sometimes things may not work out,

but you have to make sure that you love yourself.

And the thing that's helping me get through

is just constantly singing.

And this song will help me express myself.

♪ Lost in my soul ♪ ♪ I'm lost in my soul ♪

♪ But if you don't come back ♪

You were running out of breath a little bit?

If you get up under that and support it

with your diaphragm in the right way,

the runs will just flow out of you. Okay.

Zania needs to just work on her breath control

so that her runs, like the...

♪ Oh ♪

I just wanted to do that.

She needs to make sure that those are clean.

♪ Goodnight ♪

♪ Yeah, yeah, yeah ♪

You got a standing ovation from Brandy!

Whoo! Wow. Wow.

Way to take a note, right?

I mean, the breath control, the togetherness,

it was awesome. Thank you so much.

So the key is just going to be execution now.

So, that's going to be about breath control.

It's going to be about nerves and also storytelling,

passion, and really communicate with the audience

and making yourself undeniable. Okay.

So get back to work.

I think Durell and Zania are very close.

Thank you. When they are onstage,

are they connecting with the material?

Are they confident? Do they seem like an artist

that can keep going on this competition?

And I'm just going to base it on what I see that day.

But you have a great team.

Like, I feel like, why am I even here?

They don't even need any advice.

They're doing a good job.

It's coming together nicely. Yeah.

Lovely. Lovely.

I wish Kelly was here. That song was so beautiful,

and you complemented each other so well,

and I am blown away.

I don't even know what else to say,

other than I just thoroughly enjoyed that as a fan.

- So thank you very much for that. - Thank you.

Thank you. Oh, you literally don't know what else to say.

Yeah, I'm done. Okay. Okay.

Did y'all watch the Bee Gees documentary?

It inspired me to pick this song.

Yeah. And then, Chrissy loves

the Destiny's Child version too. Yeah.

So I was like, "They would sound really good together."

Yeah. You guys are with the right coach.

Alright!

In this moment only.

Oh. Oh.

You sounded great, you know,

and I feel like, man, that's got to be hard

to get up there and sing in that register.

And I thought you did a great job with it.

Thank you.

Zania, there's always that one "it" factor thing

that you can't really define.

You just kind of go,

"Mm... Mm-hmm-hmm-hmm."

And you just have that thing.

So I-I think I would be going with Zania if it was me.

I-I thought the song choice was brilliant.

Way to go, John. Thank you, Nick.

It was really more Chrissy. He said... You're right.

Yeah. They don't call her a better half for no reason.

Zania, you've got a natural charisma.

To be that bold showed a lot of strength and courage

from you as an artist and a singer.

Then, Durell, you were so effortless with your falsetto.

It was inspiring to me as a vocalist to watch.

I thought Durell won this battle.

Thank you.

Controversy.

Thank you, Nick. Thank you, coaches.

John, give us some thoughts first on the battle.

Durell, my favorite part of your voice is your falsetto.

You have such a lovely tone up there.

You're in a place where you could shine.

Thank you.

Zania, you just have poise and grace.

And we were talking about your breath a lot in rehearsals,

and none of that showed up in this performance.

You delivered once again on the stage.

Both of you were wonderful, but I have to make a decision.

John, the time has come.

Who is the winner of this battle?

The winner of this battle is Zania.

Thank you, thank you. Daly: Zania, congratulations.

You are moving on to the knockouts for Team John Legend.

Whoo! Thank you.

I am so excited!

I'm going to the knockouts.

I am going to the knockouts. Oh, my God.

Coaches, let me remind you, Durell is available to Steal.

Durell, what would you like to say to John?

Thank you so much just for the opportunity.

I will forever be grateful. You earned it.

Thank you so much, John. I really appreciate it.

Give it up one more time for Durell Anthony,

ladies and gentlemen!

Durell and Zania, what a wonderful performance.

I especially thought Zania stepped up,

because Brandy and I both talked to her about her breath control,

and she really delivered today.

I could see her doing really well

into the future rounds on this show.

Tough choice. Mm-hmm.

Durell and Zania,

I could have seen either one of the two of them winning that.

And I didn't use my Steal on Durell

because I've learned, over 20 seasons,

you just never know what's next.

♪ This is "The Voice" ♪

Welcome back to the battle rounds.

So, this next battle is Jordan and Keegan.

And Jordan is, like, my soulful rock guy,

and then Keegan is my pop guy.

Love it. Which is why you guys are here.

Yeah, yeah. Bring them in.

Alright.

No, I mean, seriously, will you go bring them in?

Oh. I'll go. Yeah, I'm so sorry.

- What's up, guys? - What's going on, guys?

- How we doing? - Hey!

Keegan, Jordan, this is Dan + Shay. Very nice to meet you.

It was crazy walking in the room and seeing Dan + Shay.

This is Shay.

They've had a ton of success, and I'm a big fan of their music

'cause they go between pop and country,

and that's something that I want to be able to do,

is be versatile and go into different genres,

and I look up to that.

I'm excited. With you guys' help, man,

I mean, I can take it, you know, to the next level.

It's gonna be like, Shay, and it's gonna go to Blake.

Oh, wow. That's a big step.

I can't even see the top of your head.

I gave Jordan and Keegan "Calling All Angels" by Train.

♪ I need to know ♪

This song is perfect because these guys

are in different genres,

and I feel like any kind of artist

can step into the melody and the pocket of this song

and make it work for whatever it is they do.

♪ When you can feel the world shake ♪

♪ From the words that are said ♪

Man, I loved, on that first hook,

that breakup in your voice right there.

That was a sweet spot. That was...

Thank you, man. That's my gravel. That's what I got.

His voice had an incredible texture.

I believed him when he sang, which is really important.

I feel like, you know, that's...

That's what makes somebody connect with an audience.

Sort of like the lead singer of Black Crowes.

Oh, Robinson, yeah. That kind of edge, you know what I'm saying?

That's a compliment, man. Thank you. Wow.

You work construction with your dad. I think I saw that.

Is that correct? Uh-huh. Yeah.

I used to do construction. That's cool, man.

Yeah, that's what I grew up doing.

To see somebody as successful as Dan + Shay are

who started out doing blue-collar stuff...

We should go do that now. Right now?

We could get away from Blake. We can go build something.

...it just shows you that hard work is really everything.

I was fortunate to be surrounded by a whole family of people

that knew the importance of a trade.

Watching these guys that work harder than anybody

I've ever met in my life, I took all that into music,

and I just spent so much time on the road,

sleeping on people's couches, sleeping in my car in January.

Never giving up is the mantra of being a road dog,

and it's what made it possible

for me to become a full-time artist.

♪ But it's hard to keep believing ♪

Being up on the blind audition stage

was the first time I've been nervous in probably 12 years.

But when I got those chair turns,

it was just a huge relief.

You don't sound like anybody else in country music.

You really laid out a-a solid performance.

I want to pick Blake. Alright!

I picked Blake because I could tell

we were on the same page.

♪ All of these lines are being crossed ♪

♪ Over the atmosphere ♪

The thing about Keegan's voice that I love

is that it's so thoughtful.

♪ Things are gonna look up ♪

He's been able to really concentrate

on the smaller nuances that really can be endearing.

I love your tone, man. Thank you.

Got a little wiggly vibrato in there.

That's the technical term for it. Wiggly.

It's a little bit of an adjustment for me

to be singing a song that definitely leans

a little more rock. I do a lot of pop music.

I started a producing business out of my house,

so I'm always recording somebody,

always just creating there, and it's been really rewarding.

♪ And she will be loved ♪

The blind auditions were surreal.

It's still something that it was kind of a blur.

You got a great voice, man. It's so smooth.

There's only one spot left on Team Blake.

I just remember thinking, "How the heck did I get to this point

where I'm standing on this stage in front of these four coaches?"

I'm gonna have to go with Team Blake. Yes!

To look back and realize how far I came

from being left in an orphanage

in kind of a rural town in China to being up here on "The Voice"

has been one of the most amazing experiences in my life.

Jordan, he's learned how to sing in probably places

where you got to try to sing over people,

where you, coming from producing...

Yeah... it's all in here, you know what I'm saying?

So this has got to be "onstage performing" Keegan

and not "studio producing" Keegan.

Yeah. Just give us all you got.

Huge fans of Keegan.

His voice was super smooth.

I think the biggest thing for him

to cut through against Jordan is to step up

with some confidence.

On the high... high note there,

I know I can hit it, but sometimes

there's a little bit of a second guess before I do,

- and I don't want to have that on show day. - Sure.

Probably the most scared I've ever been was at the Grammys.

Oh, I was scared... I was scared for you. We were playing... It was just piano.

I mean, I was terrified.

What if I miss this note in front of all these people?

There's... You know, our peers are there.

You got like Beyoncé. She's not your peer, by the way.

Well, no, she's... No, no. She's up there. She's up there.

The second he brought that up, I knew exactly what performance

he was talking about, because I was sitting at home

watching the Grammys when he sang "Tequila,"

and I remember he ended with a high note out of nowhere,

and he just knocked it out of the park.

So it was cool to understand

that he's not just saying advice off the top of his head

that sounds good, but he's actually lived it.

♪ And I'm ♪

Yeah, definitely, like, sell that part, like...

♪ And I'm ♪

- Bom! Bom, bom! - Yeah. Yeah.

I would just say, man, for you, like, you can tell

you... you've done a lot of performing and stuff.

You look comfortable, but, like, demand attention.

Look Blake right in his eyes, you know?

I know it's hard to do.

You know, it's not fun to look at.

My piercing blue eyes.

You guys are doing a great job, but just give everything.

Now, I gotta pick whoever

I feel like is swinging for the fence. Yeah.

I want these guys to make this a difficult decision for me.

Appreciate it, man. We appreciate y'all. Thank you so much.

We're not in a bar somewhere, and we're not in a studio

inside someone's house, this is "The Voice."

I want to see somebody step up

and take ownership of this moment.

♪ Calling all angels ♪

Hey! What's up, buddy?

How did full band rehearsal go?

I think it went really well. It's fun to get up there

with all the lights and the band behind you.

With Keegan, you know,

he's just an incredible musician,

and all the hard work that we put in is really paid off.

And I just... I feel great.

I'm excited to... to see how it evolves from what we did,

especially, I think probably more so with you, Keegan,

as far as if you're gonna be able

to dig your teeth in, you know?

Jordan's got this incredible, loud, gritty voice,

and I've got more of a soft tone.

So I'm hoping to show Blake that I took what he said to heart.

You know, I'm here to put in the work

and learn what I can from him.

Alright, alright.

Wow. Well done.

Keegan, first off, from your blind to this battle,

you have grown quite a bit.

I mean, that... that top register was just pinging out...

Thank you... in such a-a pleasant way.

You know, that can't be because of the coaching.

That's impossible. It had to be because of you.

Despite the coaching. Despite the coaching.

Dan + Shay. Dan + Shay helped him.

Oh, well, that makes sense. Ahh.

If there's any criticism, I would just say, Keegan,

I want to see you enjoy this more. Okay.

And, Jordan, I mean, you're just cool, man.

You got that grit that I love that I could never pull off.

So I'm kind of envious of it.

And, Blake, I-I would say Jordan has a shot

to make it all the way to the end of this. Mm-hmm.

I really found both of you so compelling,

quite different from each other just in every way.

Jordan, I told you, from when you walked out

how cool your outfit looked

and just your whole vibe, you look like a star.

But I'm going to differ with Nick.

Ooh, controversy.

I felt like Keegan's voice was just flawless.

Thank you. So as you go forward,

you'll find ways to be more of

an engaging presence on stage.

But I truly enjoyed listening to you sing.

My pick would be Keegan.

Thank you. Jordan, I was watching you,

and I was like, "He looks so comfortable,"

and then I started watching you, thinking,

"Man, like, this guy has been

playing on the road for 10 years,

and all of a sudden he's not,

and I can tell that he misses it."

And it just made me, like, really love that performance.

Awesome. I also feel like you've gone through

that discovery period of, like, "What's my vibe?"

Bell bottoms. He's settled on... Yeah.

And it's a vibe, let me tell you... bell bottoms.

Like, what a fit. It's a vibe.

Thank you.

Keegan, when you went to that high note on "angels,"

I was like, "Where did that come from?"

And you did it every time, and you hit it

every time perfectly. Thank you.

I mean, you're 21, you're super young,

but I feel like you're hungry.

You're, like, down to be taught,

and, you know, I don't know if Blake is gonna teach you,

but...

Burn. Burn.

Wow, I thought that was gonna burn harder.

It's hard... It's hard to burn these guys.

There's no crowd here to react.

I'll do it for you. Ooooh!

Thank you for the sound effect.

Anyway, I was impressed by both of you,

and the hunger in you was really beautiful,

and then the... the self-awareness in you was really beautiful.

But I think I would go w-with Jordan.

Thank you, coaches. Blake, final word is yours, buddy.

Give us some thoughts.

You guys sounded incredible together,

and there's a reason for that...

Is you put in the work. I know you did.

And one of the things that we talked about in rehearsals

was Keegan's a guy who's... Music is second nature to him.

Performing is... is a little bit of a different thing.

He's... He's a producer. He's got his headphones on.

He's on his laptop. He's making music how,

really, everybody, I guess, is making music these days.

The flip side of that coin is Jordan,

who's spent, you know, the last 10 years in bars

or wherever in the hell you're playing.

But at the end of the day, you know,

you both have incredible performances,

and I couldn't be happier.

That's all I can ask for as a coach.

Blake, who is the winner of this battle?

Uh...

The winner of this battle is Jordan.

Jordan Matthew Young, you are moving on

to the knockouts. Thank you.

Congratulations.

Thank you, guys. I love how weathered

Jordan's voice is, and moving forward,

we just got to keep him in that lane.

Those songs that work for a raspy, warm voice like that

is gonna be the key for him.

Thank you. Thank you, buddy.

Congrats.

Man, this moment is huge.

I mean, this is when it actually becomes a little scarier,

so I'm really looking forward to that.

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

Keegan, what would you like to say to your coach?

The first time I came out here,

you said that you would be honored

if I filled your team this year.

It was just, I knew you were my guy to pick,

and I'm glad I picked you, and thank you so much.

- Good to meet you, Keegan. - Give it up for Keegan Ferrell,

ladies and gentlemen.

Ohh, we got a Steal!

Yes! Nick Jonas presses his button.

Go, Keegan! Get back in there!

Wow, Keegan just got stolen.

That's amazing. I'm so glad.

He's so talented.

Yes!

I knew it!

Let's do it! Good Steal.

I did what I call the Blake Shelton misdirect here.

I made it clear that I would go for Jordan to get him

to commit to that

so that I could execute my real plan,

which was to Steal Keegan.

Nick Jonas uses his one and only Steal in the battles.

One and only Steal. Nick, talk to us.

Keegan, knowing that you love music production

means that you're a hard worker, so I'm excited to work with you.

- And let's do this. Welcome to Team Nick. - Thank you, Nick, for the Steal.

Yes!

Nick Steals Keegan. Congratulations!

We'll see you in the knockouts. Congratulations, Keegan!

Give it up for Keegan Ferrell. Thank you.

Good choice, good choice.

I wish they wouldn't do me like that.

I was... I was walking off the stage and all sad,

and then I hear that sound.

It's the sweetest sound I ever heard in my life.

I am so excited to still be here.

Let's freakin' go.

Nick Steal. That's a cool name.

That's like your actor name.

I've used my Steal and my Save,

and I feel very good about who I used them on.

Keegan was a good choice for you.

Y'all will be happy to know that I still have my Save.

And Kelly did tell me to always listen to you,

and I was like, "I don't know what to do."

Hold on. Kelly said to listen to him?

Kelly said listen to John.

Kelly's extremely intelligent. I'm... I'm out.

You hurt his feelings.

Tell me what you just said so I can use it in the future.

What? What did you say to get him out of here?

Any time I see people singing on this show, I'm so blown away.

I mean, all the people you chose are...

They're pretty special. They are so good.

I actually think Team Nick has a shot this year

to take Blake down.

I think that's a pretty safe bet.

Let's do it. Let's do it.

Team Nick, let's go!

Or Team Darren, you know.

Does it have to be Team Nick? Uh...

Okay, so we have another amazing pair

of artists coming up here.

Zae was a four-chair turn.

I think my only one this season.

And then, Lindsay is just this incredible vocalist.

And overall, her energy just felt like something

that would match perfectly with Zae.

Zae, Lindsay, this is Darren Criss. What's going on?

Oh, my God! Hi. My name's Darren.

- Crazy. What the heck? - Oh, my God!

I was so excited. I was like,

"Who am I seeing? Is that Darren Criss?"

And then it's like, "I'm me. This is so scary."

So it was definitely nerve-wracking.

I actually... I saw you in "Hedwig" on Broadway.

Oh, you did? Yeah.

Whoa! Holy crap. Really?

You were incredible. I do theater, so...

When I was 19 years old, I moved to New York,

and I booked the national tour of "Kinky Boots."

Being a performer,

I kind of equate it to being like an athlete.

It's eight shows a week, and you have to be

at the top of your game every single night,

sometimes twice a day.

So doing that show and theater in general has

really led me up to this moment.

♪ Pr-a-a-a-ayers ♪

I remember Nick turning around,

and then I saw Blake Shelton turn around.

My heart was like, "Do-do-do-do-do-do-do."

Like, it was so crazy and so nerve-wracking.

So I'm so excited to be here with Nick and Darren.

They're both artists who do acting and storytelling,

so I feel like they're really the perfect

two people to be mentoring me.

You know, one of the cool things about having Darren as

a guest mentor here, especially for you guys...

Darren's got a perspective as both a musician, an actor,

a creator, and then just a fan of music.

Were you surprised by the song choice,

or what were you thinking? Oh, we definitely freaked out.

We got "Rewrite the Stars."

That's incredible!

Oh, my God! That's such a dope song!

The song is kind of like my battle cry,

like, "I can do this. I can make it this far in life."

Bouncing around from house to house in foster care,

I struggled a lot with depression and being bullied.

I was told that my voice wasn't enough.

You know, "You're not good enough."

And so coming here has been, like, eye-opening for me.

♪ I'm falling ♪

Four chairs.

Yes!

Getting four chairs was insane.

I am, like, so honored that they thought I was good enough.

♪ Rewrite the stars ♪

This song speaks about rewriting the stars,

which I think is something I'm doing right now.

I'm gonna make my dreams come true.

And for me, that's being here.

♪ And I'm not the one you were meant to find ♪

Lindsay and Zae both have a very keen understanding

of vocal dynamics.

♪ All I want is to fall ♪

They have a natural instinct

that sounds cool, it sounds engaging,

but together they weren't always blending,

and that might end up really hurting them,

which is unfortunate because on their own, they are amazing.

♪ All ♪

Yeah. Nice.

Very nice. Make no mistake,

this is a pop tune that they put in a movie musical,

and so what's cool about this song

is there is a performative element

already baked into the cake,

so it's just about bringing your "theatrical" element to it.

Yeah. When you guys trade on...

♪ It's not up to you ♪

♪ It's not up to me ♪

It just felt a little bit not flat pitch-wise,

but just emotionally flat.

Yeah. And in total fairness, this is a driving song...

♪ Gotta do, gotta do, gah ♪

You have a lot of energy coming from that pulse,

and I know there's no crowd.

It's like there's an energy that's missing.

What makes me, like, super nervous

is just, like, that high note where we go...

♪ Possible ♪

You're pulling off before she is. Yeah.

But you can do a run or something

and press it out a bit... Yeah, something that it bails you out of it if you gotta...

...that is equally as impressive.

♪ Say that it's possible ♪

I mean, you don't need to be scared of that note.

You have that note. You had it.

You have it. Yeah, just make sure

placement's good on that.

But I cannot stress enough, even on that take,

you were so worried about the note

that you didn't connect with your partner.

Yeah. One of the things I love about Zae's voice

is that he showed up willing

to throw caution to the wind and just let it fly.

You know, those high notes are... are no joke,

but he's got to live a little bit more in the moment,

be more connected to Lindsay.

It's funny how you feel stressed at that part of the song,

and I get scared and back off at the first part of the song.

For some reason, when I get nervous,

my low range gets, like, just kind of, like, wobbly.

Well, it's 'cause your heart's beating

and your breath gets more shallow. Yeah, exactly.

I think that can be a huge asset. Yeah.

This song is so big most of the time.

Right? ♪ Rewrite the stars ♪

It's like a huge thing up here.

Chest voice massive.

So when you have this verses,

♪ You know I want you ♪

♪ And duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh ♪

It's... It's here. It makes you kind of lean in a little more.

So I would tap into the... the actress part,

like these are... This is dialog.

Yeah, yeah. It really gives it somewhere to go.

Yeah. The nerves get ahold of me, too,

and someone taught me this, and it changed the game.

Yeah. Take a little piece of paper,

put it against the wall, 10 times,

just blow and keep that piece of paper

up against the wall. Wow.

So that in these moments

my heart's racing and I'm nervous,

I have a game plan for this.

We left both Zae and Lindsay with a lot

to think about, but I think there's

a really good start here,

and I'm excited to see

how much better it gets over the next couple days.

Man, I wish I could sing like you guys.

This is a humble-brag name drop because I went to college

with these guys... Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, who wrote this song.

If they heard you guys do this, they'd be very impressed.

That's the nicest compliment.

You guys sound incredible.

- Really beautiful. - Thank you so much.

High five through the glass. That voice. High five.

Wow. Beautiful.

Yeah!

What a powerful duet that was.

Both of you have such expansive ranges,

and seeing you soar together was just a joy

for all of us to behold.

This is a tough one, Nick.

I truly am not sure who you should pick.

Mm! Very helpful, John. Thank you.

I might say Zae just because I turned for him.

But I could be the spiteful one and be like,

"I'm not gonna say Zae

because he didn't pick me after I turned for him."

Who would be spiteful like that?

Who would be spiteful like that?

Um, Blake Shelton would.

But, nope, I'm copping out.

Copping out.

- Strike one for John Legend. - Wow.

Wow.

You know, I thought it was

a really interesting song pick from Nick,

and it made a lot of sense for you.

And I was like, "She's gonna kill this."

And you did. And then I was like,

"Wait a second, you can do anything.

You're a chameleon." And I was like, "Oh, my gosh,

you're holding your own with someone who did 'Kinky Boots.'

That's incredible." So I don't know.

It's a really hard choice, Nick.

I'd say Zae 'cause he really held his own here,

and I was really impressed.

Thank you.

Zae, I love the tone of your voice.

I'm sure that's why you had four chairs turn around for you,

and it's just a really cool sound.

But I got to say, Lindsay, you really shocked me.

It was so good. So just to complicate things,

I think I'm gonna pick Lindsay.

Mm. And I can't be spiteful

because I tried to get both of them,

and they both said no to me,

so that's not gonna work.

Thank you, Blake. Thank you, coaches.

Nick, got a big decision to make here,

but give us some thoughts on that battle first.

Zae, Lindsay, this performance should be

a learning opportunity, right?

We move forward with confidence,

and whoever I don't pick,

know that this journey has been incredible,

and I am honored to have gotten the chance to coach you.

Nick, the time has come. Tough one here.

Who is the winner of this battle?

I just have to go with a gut feeling here.

The winner of this battle...

...is Zae.

Zae Romeo, congratulations.

You're moving on to the knockouts.

Congratulations.

The minute I heard Zae's voice,

I had a feeling this guy was gonna be

a force in this competition.

He really rose to the occasion today

and opened up on those high notes,

found a way to finesse the lower notes,

and it was just the obvious choice to me.

This is life-changing for me.

Give it up one more time for Lindsay Joan,

ladies and gentlemen.

Good luck, Lindsay.

Thank you, Lindsay.

As the battles continued...

I love the looks. Y'all look great.

...Team Legend's Ciana and Denisha

both brought their all.

♪ You broke me first ♪

You both come to this experience

with so much positivity and such great energy,

and I do love that both of you

take vocal risks with your performance.

That being said, I believe the winner of this battle is Ciana.

Ciana, congratulations. You're moving on

to the knockouts representing Team Legend.

Ciana has a really cool voice.

She has great sense of rhythm,

and I think she has a good sense of how a pop song

is supposed to be delivered,

and I think she has a good shot.

♪ This is "The Voice" ♪

Welcome back.

Alright, so next up, we have Corey and Savanna.

Cool. And, basically, I think they're gonna be like, "What?"

Like, with me putting them together.

I'm excited. Are you excited?

I'm excited. A little nervous. I'm, like, more anxious.

Do you know who's gonna be the mentor?

I have absolutely no clue.

They're both really good,

and they're both very intense in different ways.

I cannot wait for you to meet them and hear them.

Can't wait. Let's do it. I can't wait.

You want to? Yeah.

It's hat day!

It's hat day!

We're all wearing hats!

- Yes! - Hi!

What's up? This is Luis Fonsi.

Give it up! What's up, guys?

Ber, ber, ber, ber!

- Nice to meet you. - Luis Fonsi...

I was like, "Holy crap."

We got a number-one-hit writer right here.

♪ Despacito ♪ There you go.

"Despacito," worldwide,

one of the most popular songs we've ever seen.

When I saw him, I was pretty shook.

There are no hats here on set.

Now I feel like we need to form

some kind of band with our hats.

For sure. Yes, yes.

I guess I'm not part of this band.

Felt a little left out

because I didn't get the sombrero memo.

Our band can be Sombrero.

The Sombrero Gang.

You need a hat next time. Yeah. Come on.

I'm traveling with my sombrero from now on.

I don't even own a sombrero.

- I loved both of you. - Thank you.

And I think you're probably kind of like,

"Why did you pair us together?"

No. No, we expected it.

Oh, you did? Really?

Yeah. Oh, my God. Do you know there was no rhyme or reason?

Really? We kind of are both passionate singers,

and we have a little bit of the rasp.

Little bit of grit, yeah. Like, a little grit.

And so, since day one, we anticipated that. See?

Wow! You're genius and you didn't even know it.

I'm so predictable.

♪ Thunder only happens when it's raining ♪

I gave Corey and Savanna "Dreams" by Fleetwood Mac...

Wow! ...because they both have

intense voices, but rock 'n' roll,

but also kind of singer/songwriter.

I love Fleetwood Mac. Yeah, who doesn't?

Did y'all know this song before? Oh, yeah.

First time I heard Savanna sing this song, I got worried.

I was like...

It's in her wheelhouse stylistically...

You know, Stevie Nicks, that rocker voice.

So I knew it was gonna be a tough one.

I love this song.

I have grown up singing Fleetwood Mac music

with my sisters,

so Stevie is totally an inspiration for me.

She's a very strong, powerful woman.

She's been through so much.

She's written so many amazing songs.

I totally look up to her,

the way her career has evolved over time.

I was in a band seven years, and then I just had the feeling

that I wanted to go solo doing more of my own music,

so I would love to emanate more Stevie Nicks vibes.

♪ But you see, it's not me ♪ For my blind audition,

not far into the song, Nick turned around,

and he was just, like, smoldering at me,

I love her energy. She's awesome.

We have similar singing styles, but also I love

she's just a strong, independent woman

and takes no crap.

I pick Kelly. Yeah!

Being here in the battles is super exciting,

and I've been working my butt off for years,

so it feels like, "Ahh."

I've finally broken through to the next level.

♪ Thunder only happens when it's raining ♪

Savanna has this raspy thing that drove me nuts.

Ah, I loved it.

She knows how to use her instrument down to the teeth.

♪ Women, they will come ♪

Corey's got the power, the attitude,

This sombrero club is on fire!

I love it so much, you guys. Pew! Pew! Pew!

We're such a good team. I'm so glad you paired us.

Yeah. Oh, my God. Me, too.

This works, but when you're singing

to camera, to the front of the audience,

just make sure you still have that same passion,

you still have that same connection. Yeah.

I love the fact that you guys get so into it,

and that tells me that you're honest, you know?

- Yeah. - Yeah.

And you're really into the song.

It's a heartbreak story.

And we've all, like, experienced that kind of thing.

Yeah. And we've talked about our own experiences.

My dad was a drummer in a band,

and that's how I got into music.

And I learned how to play drums

and then dabbled in guitar and singing,

and it kind of just kept snowballing from there.

With "Dreams," it's a song about a breakup

and heartbreak and separation from someone that you love.

How I personally relate is my parents divorced

when I was young, and our family just kind of separated.

The past year has been extremely hard.

Season 19, my mom was unable to watch me perform

because she had a mini seizure

and had to get rushed to the hospital.

And then right before coming out in season 20,

my dad having three major heart attacks

that only 6% survive.

Just talking through it reminds you

of how real it is.

So for me to be able to come back for season 20

and Mom to be there meant the world to me.

♪ And I keep dancing on my own ♪

I'm in.

To have chairs turn,

I just felt overwhelmingly grateful.

Your son crushed it,

and he got Kelly and John to turn their chairs.

Kelly.

Team Kelly!

Still talk to my dad, and recently,

we played some piano, and it took me back

to when I used to watch him play in his band when I was young.

This opportunity's been a second chance for me

and my family to really grow,

and it's just been a-a huge blessing...

...that I'll never forget.

In my existence of being on this show,

I have never seen two people

more destined to form a band.

Yeah.

I don't have any notes. Come on, Kelly.

Yeah, I'm gonna not ruin what just happened. Yeah.

I'm gonna stay out of your way.

Just keep doing it, 'cause you guys are the real deal.

You're not singers. You're artists.

Thank you so much. So congrats and keep going.

Thank you. They're so great in rehearsal.

Look at you, knowing what the kids are doing.

Okay, you guys both did great.

I think we gotta figure out

what happened there in the middle.

It had the potential of somebody being a little pitchy there,

but for the rest of the song, it was sogood.

I got to say, Savanna, you're the biggest surprise.

When I hear an artist like you and the way you sing,

you kind of have this angelic voice that's kind of floaty,

but you have so much power and so much range.

Thank you. That was incredible.

Great job, buddy.

Thanks, buddy. Yeah.

Corey, you can't put a value... Yes, sir.

...on that kind of a weathered sound that you have.

To have that sound and incredible tone

and pitch is really good. Thank you, sir.

I know I'm supposed to help you here, Kelsea.

By the way, I think this is bull crap.

I think the... the least they could do

is put "Team Kelsea" up here for the time being.

Or just... just "Kel." "Team Kel."

Yeah, yeah, Kel. It goes for both.

Brilliant thinking right there.

Yeah. Team Kel.

I don't know, Savanna shocked me.

Well, I hope I can be of help to you here, Kelsea. Please.

But I'm at a loss because I think

that you're both really special artists.

And on one hand, Savanna,

if you went and made a record right now,

it would be something immediately

that I'd want to hear, go see you live. Thank you.

And I'm so curious to see where you go as an artist from here.

Corey, even just from the blinds to now,

you've risen to this occasion in such a big way.

I feel like this maybe meant something more to you.

There was an inner source or an emotional pull that you had.

Most definitely, yeah. If there's one encouragement

I could give you, you know, it's just to keep

tapping into that source, that thing that drives you.

Thank you so much. Means a lot.

Both of you seem to love being up here,

being in this moment. Yes, sir.

It's very uplifting when you watch performers

that put love into it

and project love to the audience. Mm.

I would lean a little bit toward Corey,

and the reason why... Wow.

...something about Corey's voice,

the edge that it has, the urgency that it has,

the push that it has.

I thought both of you were wonderful,

but that was more compelling.

Thank you, coaches. Kelsea, you got

a tough one here, that's for sure.

I know. Before you tell us the winner,

just give us some thoughts.

First of all, this song is

one of my favorite songs of all time. It's a good one.

I've also covered this song as a duo with my friend Halsey,

and I remember how hard it was for us

to try to make this our own because it's so iconic.

And I'll say, y'all did it.

Like, especially you. Thank you.

You know how to use your gift and your tool.

It made a song that I've known since I was a kid

sound like your song.

That's artistry.

And, Corey, when I watched your blind,

I couldn't decide if you were country

or if you were singer/songwriter, alt,

- or what you were, and I'm obsessed with that. - Yeah, yeah.

Like, I love music that you kind of scratch your head and you go,

"Huh, this is great. Where does it fit? No one knows."

I've talked a lot with Kelly, and this is very hard for her,

and it's also very hard for me.

- It's not fun, this part. - No.

No one tells you it's not fun, this part.

No one tells you about this part.

This is the... This is the sneaky bad part.

This is why Kelly didn't show up today.

This is why Kelly didn't show up today.

That's why she's on the beach.

Nobody envies the decision

that you're gonna have to make

representing Kelly right now,

but the time has come.

Kelsea, who is the winner of this battle?

There's so much potential

and growth and exciting things

to happen here on this stage,

so the winner of this battle is Corey.

Congratulations, Corey.

You are moving on to the knockouts...

Thank you. ...representing Team Kelly.

Congratulations. Congratulations, Corey.

I had to pick Corey because there's gonna be

so many opportunities to show

so many different sides of himself as an artist,

and I think that he'll be able to shine in that.

Very excited to continue working with Kelly.

It means the world to me. I'm so happy for my family.

Thank you.

Holy crap.

Coaches, let me remind you,

Savanna is available to Steal or Save.

Savanna, anything that you'd like to say?

Yeah. Thank you guys all so much.

Especially you, Kelly, wherever you are.

It's just helped me hone in my artistry more.

Thank you, guys. Wonderful.

Give it up for Savanna Woods,

ladies and gentlemen.

Appreciate it. Thank you.

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

Kelsea Ballerini representing Kelly Clarkson... Whee!

Savanna, get back on stage. You're not going anywhere yet.

I saved Savanna because she's so calm

and so confident. I was just intrigued by that.

I, as a fan, wanted to see more,

and I definitely want to see what Kelly does.

Me and Kelly were texting.

I was like, "Kelly, what do I do?"

She was like, "Save her!" I was like, "Okay."

Yay! Yay!

Kelly knew that this was gonna be a hard one, as well,

and she was down for the Save.

Kelly loves you, and I'm here to speak for Kelly,

so I love you, too, then. And I love her and now you.

Yeah, I'm just gonna invite myself

into this love fest. Please do.

Kelsea saved Savanna... Yay.

...and we will see you now in the four-way knockout.

Yay! Savanna Woods.

Thanks, guys. You are back on "The Voice,"

Congratulations. ...Saved by Team Kelly.

Yay! Savanna: Watch out, America.

I'm gonna bring everything.

I'm very ready for the four-way knockout.

Oh.
