[ Switch clicks, heartbeat ]

* This is my heartbeat song,
and I'm gonna play it *

* Been so long... *

The battles.
Here we go.

You guys, I cannot wait to see
who I'm paired against.

Oh, my God!
Yes. Yes.

We're gonna kill it.
Gonna kill it.

I'm getting a little nervous.
This is gonna be a fight.

Kate: And we're practicing.
We're practicing.

Luckily, there are steals
available just in case.

And this new playoff pass
is wild.

Hopefully some are left
when I go.

* This is my heartbeat song,
and I'm gonna play it *

* Been so long... *

Woman:
It's a dream to be coached
by the best in the business.

Y'all ready? Let's get it.

All right, we're going in.
Unh, unh.

Let's get this movin'.

Let's go.
Let's do this.

We'll be like,
unh, unh.

Hello!
[ Singsong voice ]
Hello, Kelly.

Miss Kelly!
What's up, y'all?

Seeing Kelly Clarkson again,
it was a great feeling.

Nice to see you.
Hey, we're matching.

I know. I like a leather.
Oh.

Her hospitality
is very contagious.

She makes you feel
like you're just like her.

She's just freakin'
Kelly Clarkson.

I mean, you know. [ Laughs ]

I'm letting everybody know
there's a playoff pass

that if I feel like
y'all are both killing it,

I can save both of you.

The playoff pass is
the highest honor

we've ever given on "The Voice."

We've never had anybody
be able to skip a level, so...

Skip a level?
Are we playing "Mario Bros."?

What? Round?
Yeah. Sorry.

And you're both
such soulful singers.

I know you did
Ed Sheeran.

* Dancing in the dark *

For the blind audition,
Kelly turning for me

as early as she did,
that kind of surprised me.

It was a reassurance, you know?

And [laughs] at that point,

I just had to,
like, keep singing.

I didn't even look at her
while she turned around.

I just looked at the crowd,
looked at the crowd.

[ Cheers and applause ]

I chose Kelly 'cause she was
fighting for me like a mama.

[ Laughs ]

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

Mama turned, like,
in the beginning.

Miss Kelly.
Yes!

And I know you did
"Killing Me Softly."

Yeah.
It was like run city.

I was like, okay.

Ali: When I stepped out
onto the stage

for the blind audition,
I just felt anxious.

That was cool.

* And there he was *

But I-I don't know, I just felt
like I was meant to be there.

* Killing me softly
with his song *

I wear two hearing aids.
I was born deaf.

Oh, my God.
That's crazy.

That's insane.

Your runs
were so intricate

and cool and different.

That's a gift.

I just wanted to get
my voice heard,

and I'm so blessed
to have a platform like this

to be able to do that.

My dad is a musician,
and I grew up seeing that,

and I've seen the good parts
and I've seen the bad parts.

But something that my dad
definitely taught me is, like,

don't do it because
you want that next paycheck.

Do it because you love it.

When it comes to music,
although my ears may not work

as well as everyone else's,
that's okay.

That's okay.
There's a way to work around it.

My favorite thing is, like,
to listen to the type of music

that makes you feel things
and, like, got that deep bass.

And that's basically how
I learn a song, is I feel it.

But music is more
than just listening to it.

You want to cry, you want
to laugh, you want to smile.

You want to be like,
"Oh, this is a good song."

And I want to be able
to be that musician.

So I'm ready to do my own music
thing, just like my dad.

He's probably my biggest
musical inspiration ever,

and I-I just want to make
him proud

and do it because I love it.

I was literally going to
the ladies room,

and on the other side of
the wall, I could hear someone

just, like, warming up
like crazy.

Oh,
that probably was me.

Yeah. I was like,
I don't know who that was.

But yeah, I heard --
I was like, he was getting ready

for some Allen Stone.

So I gave Ali and D.Smooth
"Unaware" by Allen Stone

because, of my whole team,
they're the most soulful.

* And every day,
the deficit grows *

Hey.

Come on, Ali.
* Oh *

Ali -- you cannot tell she's had
any issues with her hearing.

Like, she hears things
so differently.

Like, her runs are so intricate,

and I would never think to go
to the places she goes to.

The way she navigates
through an octave is incredible.

She's so on point,

and I guess 'cause she feels it
in a different way.

* On your authority *

D.Smooth -- he's -- he's got
that raspiness to his voice

and he's got that, like, grit.

I hope it blows everyone away,

and I know it's blowing me
away anytime he sings.

And man, I-I'm just so excited
to work with D.Smooth, for sure.

* I was unaware *

We talked about it, and
we were like, "All right,
we're gonna do so good

that we're gonna make Kelly
use that playoff pass on us."

That's a goal. [ Laughs ]

* You care *

Kelly: D.Smooth is
an incredible singer.

You can't teach passion
like that.

You can't teach effortless,
like, runs like that.

He is -- He's one of my
favorite singers on my team.

My family, we did struggle
growing up, financially,

so I feel like this song
can go a lot of ways.

You can relate it
to the relationship aspect,

but you also
can relate it to life.

"Every day the deficit grows" --
you spend more than you own,

people living paycheck
to paycheck.

I've literally been
an eyewitness

to that my whole life.

Growing up, my hustles was
cutting grass, selling candy.

Honestly, I'm trying to change
the trajectory of that.

I'm definitely doing this for
not only myself, but my family.

* I was unaware, babe *

* 'Cause all you do is *

* Push, pull, tear *

* Can't stretch it any farther *

That was so good.
Ali: Thank you.

Thank you, Miss Kelly.
Oh, my God. I just forget
how much I love this.

Aww, we love you.

That was really good.
Oh, man.

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

Don't. I'll break.
I'll break.

Give me a minute.
Give me a minute.

I was so amazed when I was --
when I made Kelly emotional.

That was like, "Holy crap."
[ Laughs ]

I'm just still wiping up
on aisle five over here.

The only thing I was gonna
say is on the -- the, like,

bridge part,
"Push, pull, tear,"

I felt like that "tear"
kind of stayed here.

Mm-hmm.
No.

I will not allow it.
Okay.

* Pull, tear *

Together: * Can't stretch it
any farther *

* Push, pull, tear *

* Can't stretch it any farther *

Let him go.

* Push *
Ali and Kelly: * Push *

* Pull *
* Pull *

* Tear *
* Tear *

* Can't stretch it
any farther *

* Push *
* Push *

* Pull *
* Pull *

* Tear *
* Tear *

Ali: Okay, okay.
Yeah.

Okay.
Just anything like that.

Ali: When I heard Kelly sing
that song to me, I was like,

"Oh my goodness.
I-I-I can't imagine."

I -- Actually, I can
'cause she's amazing.

But I'd like to hear it again,
if you don't mind.

* Push *

* Pull *

* Tear *
* Tear, yeah, yeah, yeah *

Oh, my gosh. Okay.

This is going to be
an incredibly tough decision.

I think it's gonna come down

to who just looks
more comfortable,

'cause they both
are incredible vocalists,

so it's whoever's gonna
kind of perform it better

and feel comfortable
in their skin on stage.

It was so good, so good.

Oh!
Thank you so much,
Miss Kelly.

Y'all have
a blessed night.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Who's got what?
I've got my steal.

I-I don't have a steal anymore,
but I got my playoff pass.

Chance: I still have a steal.
My steal is gone.

But you have your other thing.
So everybody's got something.

* Everybody's got
their something *

* Everybody's got
their something *

**

Daly:
Battling now from Team Kelly,

it's the 24-year-old
from California, Ali,

versus the 25-year-old
from Alabama,

D.Smooth.

Yeah!
Let's go!

Let's do it, girl.
Let's do it, girl.
Let's do it.

The battle starts now.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Oh, this is so,
so good.

**

* Ooh *

* And every day,
the deficit grows *

Hey!
* Oh *

* And you spend more
than you own *

* Mmm *

* And Papa always
said to me *

* Oh, ohh *

* Just keep a close eye
on your authority *

* Whoa *
Come on, Ali.

* You say that you care *

Oh, my God.
I love y'all!

* But I was unaware *

* Oh, oh *

* But you say that you care *

* Say that you care *

* But I was unaware,
unaware, babe *

* I was unaware
'cause all you do is *

* Push, pull *

* Tear *
Whoo!

Sing!
* Can't stretch it any farther *

* Push, pull, tear *

* Can't stretch it
any farther *

Oh, my gosh!
* Push *

* Push *

* And pull *
* And pull *

* Tear *

Oh!
* Push *

* And pull *
* And pull *

* And tear *

* You say
that you care *

* You say that you care
for me, baby *

Yeah!

* But I was unaware *

* I was so unaware *

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

* You say, you say,
you say, you say *

* Why did you say
that you care *
* You care *

* To me, baby *
* No, no, no, nah, nah *

* But I was unaware *
Oh, my gosh.

* So unaware,
so unaware *
* Unaware *

* Oh, no, no, no *

* You say that you care *

[ Cheers and applause ]

Whoo!

Let's go!

We just crushed it.

Kelly: Love y'all!

[ Cheers and applause ]

Hey!

That's Team Kelly!
Blake: Wow.

Incredible job,
both of you.

Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.

That was just
great music.

I mean, that's what I love
about this job.

That's what I'm going to miss
the most, is just sitting here

with a front row seat

to some of the best concerts
that anybody has ever seen.

That was one of them
right there. Just great job.

Thank you, thank you.
Thank you.

Ali, you have
a lot of confidence

in -- in your performance
and fun and joy.

Great job.

D.Smooth,
I mean, damn, man, I'm a fan.

Like, we're --
[ Cheers and applause ]

What the heck, man?

I think if I was choosing
right now,

based on what just happened,
I would go with D.Smooth.

Wow. Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you.

Niall:
That was phenomenal.

It was just
an unbelievable duet.

Like, there was --
there was no battling in it.

It was just two great singers

giving each other room
to do their thing.

And that's what makes
a great duet always.

If I was going just off
the feeling that I get,

I would just lean, to tilt
a little bit towards Ali.

Okay.
Well, Kelly,
I wish you the best.

Thank you.

Thank you, Niall.

That was a crazy good
performance,

especially the harmonies.

It shows the control
that both of you guys have.

No matter which way you go,

you have a strong chance of --
of winning this whole thing

with either
one of these guys.

Wow.
But I got to say,

if it was up to me,
I would absolutely pick Ali.

Kelly, at the end of the day,
it's up to you.

All right.

Daly: Thank you, Coaches.

All right, Kelly.
Final decision is yours.

Before we find out
the winner,

give us some thoughts
on the battle.

You are world-class singers,
both of you.

Like, incredible things

that people in the Grammys
aren't even capable of doing,

like, in performances.
Wow, thank you.

Thank you so much.
No shade.

Straight up.
Just -- It's incredible.

Thank you.
Thank you.

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

since, like, the '90s.

I don't get to hear
someone like you very often.

Um, you are...
[ Organ music playing ]

[ Laughter ]

It sounded like
we were in church. [ Laughs ]

[ Laughter ]

Do you know what I'm saying?
When you're in church

and they play the music.
Yup, yup, yup.

So if you come down
to the altar. [ Laughs ]

That's what that felt like.
But that's what you did.

You just brought us to church.
That was incredible.

Ali, I know that, like,
your story is crazy.

But even if I didn't know that,
your runs,

how you hear pitch,
how you flow

through a song,
through a run,

it's a God-given talent,
like, not many have.

Thank you.

Kelly, who is the winner
of this battle?

**

Hmm.

**

Oh, man.

Okay, so the the...

the winner
of this battle is...

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly:
Welcome back to "The Voice."

The winner of this battle...

**

...is Ali.

Ali, congratulations.

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

I really want to prove
to Kelly that I got it

to take it to the end
and sing my heart out.

Oh, my goodness.
[ Laughs ]

Coaches, let me remind you that
D.Smooth's available to steal.

I am beyond grateful
to just be here.

I'm blessed to be here, y'all.
And I appreciate you.

[ Whoosh ]

That's the sound
of a steal!

D.Smooth stolen
by Chance the Rapper.

Oh, thank God!
Oh, my God.

That's your boy.
Oh, man.

Team Chance, man.

Finally, I get to take somebody
from Kelly.

It feels so great.
Can I just say something,
though, real quickly?

I'm using
my playoff pass!

[ Cheers and applause ]

Whoa!

Yes!

Perfect. That's perfect.

[ Cheers and applause ]

I kind of -- I kind of
feel bad 'cause you might want

to work with him,
but I just don't care, man.

[ Laughter ]
Like, I love you.

You have the gift to make it
all the way to the finale.

Thank you so much.

He's one of my favorite people
I've ever had on a team ever,

and I had to use
my playoff pass on D.Smooth

because I just
want him to advance.

I want him to be in the
playoffs, and I want to
see what he's gonna do.

And he's hungry for it, y'all.
He wants it.

You killed it.
It was insane.

Thank you so much.
Thank you so much.
It was incredible.

Chance: This is the second time
I've tried to steal,

but I 100% knew in my bones

that she was gonna use
her playoff pass then.

Hey, man.
Bro!

Thank you, brother.
Thank you.

No. I'm glad you're here, man.
You belong here, man.

I had to try
'cause he's that good,

but I know my steal's coming.

Yes!
Come on! Come on!

Oh, my God. I was not trying
to mess with you, man.

I wasn't. I just --
I-I-I was like,

I don't want to give it away,
but, like, then I felt bad

for Chance 'cause he, like,
really wants you.

He's so --
He was talking all like...

I-I was like -- I was like,
"Oh, Chance, this is about

to not go well
for you."

By the way,
that was impressive,

how you did that.
Oh, my God.

Wait, was that not
the most incredible duet?

Oh,
it was incredible.

Blake: And one of the meanest
things I've ever seen.

* Don't wanna scoot the boots
with no body *

Well, this is, uh, one of many
lasts for me this season.

It's gonna be the last time
that I ever coach anybody

for the battle rounds,

which is crazy
because they were telling me

that I've coached
over 250 artists

in the -- in the 23 seasons
that I've been here.

I had songs on the radio
for 7 or 8 years before

I was ever even on
"The Late Late Show."

And that was in the '20s
and they didn't have

that much radio.
[ Laughs ]

You got a girlfriend?
No.

Well, you got a girl you like,
you think's hot?

He had about 300 the night
of the blind auditions.

All right.

People are just
gonna have a hard time

seeing you if there's
something in the way.

Wow, that was --
I came up with that, see?

I can't even believe you --
you said that.

That's the worst high-five
I've ever had.

I'll give you that one.

Whoa.
[ Laughs ]

I'm gonna go out with a bang,
I can promise you that,

so I'm looking forward
to these --

these final battle rehearsals
that I'm gonna do ever,

and I'm just gonna soak it in.

So here we go.

* Wrap these arms
around no body *

* No body but yours *

Hey.
Hello.

My man.

Walking into rehearsal,

and you see the tallest guy
ever.

The King of "The Voice,"
Blake.

How you doing? Good to see you.
Good to see you.

It is still not fully real
to me yet, but it is amazing.

Grace, you were the last person,
right, that I got on my team?

I am.
The last person

I ever pushed my button for.
The last pick.

* Maybe it was Memphis *

* Maybe it was southern
summer nights *

The second the chairs turned,

I might have blacked out
a little bit.

* But it sure felt right *

Like, almost through
the whole song.

I am from Michigan, but I'm now
living in Nashville, Tennessee,

and I'm 19 years old.
19?

I moved to Nashville
when I was 17,

so I relate to that
so much.

I would be honored if you would
join the last Team Blake

as the last person
that I will ever hit

this freaking
worn out button for.

Wow, that was pretty good.
That was pretty impressive.

Strong pitch.

I think I'm gonna go
with Blake.
Yes!

I ended up choosing Blake 'cause
he has been an idol of mine.

That's his last artist
on "The Voice" ever.

Oh, my God.

You sound incredible.
Thank you.

He's been on the show forever.

He has all this experience,
and he's an amazing coach,

and I wanted to be on
his last team.

What do you think about singing
"I Told You So" by Randy Travis?

I never sang country
before.

Anytime you see, like,
singer/songwriter

on somebody's lane that
they're in, you kind of go,

"I can throw anything
in the world at 'em."

Blake's really looking to pull
something from me

and maybe help me
develop a muscle

I've never
really worked out before.

I've heard you sing
one time.

Man, I thought you sounded

like you could literally
do about anything.

Carlos: Three, four years ago,
I couldn't imagine

having the courage to put myself
out there

and step on stage
for that blind audition.

* Shine it on my heart *

[ Cheers and applause ]

* So you could see the truth *

Everything that I had done up
to that point

led up to this moment.

* And I could change
the world *

When I got those chair turns,
that was the validation

I needed for myself to say,

"You know what?
You do belong here."

When I see someone like you
that I've never heard

anything like before,
that's what gets me excited.

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

[ Cheers and applause ]

Growing up watching the show,

I always pictured myself
on Blake's team.

He knows what it takes to win,
and it being his last season,

I wanted to get every morsel
of his knowledge.

I knew that Blake
was the right choice.

* Would you say I *

* Told you so? *

Blake: I paired Carlos
and Grace together.

I think both of these artists
can deliver a message,

and that's key to singing
any country song.

* Would you tell me
that you miss me... *

Grace has
a very powerful voice.

She's very authentic-sounding,
super country.

She's got a little twang
in there, and I just love it.

* That I returned *

Carlos says he's never
sang country music before ever,

but you're having a hard time
convincing me of that

'cause he's got
a Vince Gill type range,

and it's super impressive.

* Or would you say the tables
finally turned? *

I'm grateful that Blake
had enough trust in me

to give me this song.

And I have a big task
ahead of me,

but I'm no stranger
to adversity.

Back in 2020, I was in Seattle,
working at a church

as a music director,
and I lost my job.

My wife and I had to drive
across the country

to North Carolina
to move back in with my parents.

It felt like everything
I worked so hard for

to get up to that point
had been for nothing.

But with the support of my wife
and my family,

they encouraged me
to really pursue music.

I took that leap of faith,
and I think back,

what if I had never went through
that adversity before?

I may not be here.

Blake: Everybody's singing
great. I just feel like, Carlos,

you have to sing
more of the lead melody

than you are at some point.

Okay.
It just doesn't feel like
an even split at all to me.

I just think you need to find
one more part

in that chorus
y-you can sing the lead on.

And you got the tag,
together, break, again.
Yeah.

We're figuring out.
We got it.
Correct. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

* I told you so *

* Oh,
I told you so *

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

What?
To just switch up a harmony.

The wheels are working.
I'm working overtime.

Yeah, but your wheels work.
Your wheels work.

Yeah. [ Laughs ]
[ Laughs ]

* Would you say
I told you so? *

Blake: I love seeing artists
come in

like Grace and Carlos did.
* Well, I told you so *

Able to work together and put
things into motion instantly.

Grace: We switched parts around
a little bit, changed harmonies.

I mean, it sounded good before,
but it sounds so good right now.

The song I've loved
ever since I was little.

Growing up in Michigan, I was a
tomboy, so, like, my dad and I,

our father-daughter bonding time
was driving to go fishing.

We would listen to country
the whole way there.

This song came on a lot, and I
absolutely fell in love with it.

I am a country artist.

I've always known what I wanted
to do ever since I was little.

I was so excited moving to
Nashville to pursue my career.

But I miss home a lot.

Using missing home,
taking that emotion

and putting it into the song

is what's gonna just
push it over the edge.

Yes! Way better.

Is it better?
Way better arrangement.

Grace: Carlos does have
more experience than I do.

His voice is amazing, and the
way that he interprets songs,

no matter what genre,
is mind-blowing.

I think to make it
to the knockout round,

I really have
to just work harder.

You're so talented,
both of you.

And I just think you just need
to rehearse this

and get it mapped out.

Yeah.
Mm-hmm.

This is my last season,
as we all know,

and there's nothing
I wouldn't do to win

my 10th season of this show.

See you guys in a few days.
All right, thank you, Blake.

All right,
thank you so much.

I don't have to worry about
getting fired anymore,

so I'm pulling out
all the stops.

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.

Man: Here we go.

[ Cheers and applause ]

90 seconds.
90 seconds, guys.

**

It's a guitar duet.
That's crazy.

[ Cheers and applause ]

This battle begins right now.

[ Cheers and applause ]

**

**

* Suppose I called you up
tonight *

* And told you
that I love you *

Oh.
* And suppose I said *

* I want
to come back home *

* And suppose I cried
and said *

* I think I've finally
learned my lesson *

* And I'm tired of spendin'
all my time alone *

* Would you tell me
that you've missed me, too *

* And that you've been
so lonely? *

* And you've waited for the day
that I returned *

* And we'd live and love
forever *

* And that I'm your
one and only *

* Or would you say the tables
finally turned? *

* Would you say
I told you so? *

* Oh,
I told you so *

**

* I told you someday
you'd come crawlin' back *

* And asking me
to take you in *

**

* I told you so *

* But you had to go *

* Now I've found
somebody new *

* And you will never break
my heart in two again *

* Now I've found
somebody new *

* And you will never break
my heart in two *

* Again *

* Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh *

[ Cheers and applause ]

Wow.

Niall: Carlos and Grace,
that was magic.

Carlos, your tone is really
so cool, so husky,

and to hear that blend
against Grace's sweet,

piercing tone was --
was really nice.

Grace, your voice is
just phenomenal.

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

I'm sad I didn't get you
in the first place.

I think you could go
all the way.

And you're
a phenomenal singer.

The competition doesn't really
have anything like Grace.

So I would lean
towards Grace.

Thank you so much.
Thank you.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Um...that's a good point.
Thank you.

[ Laughter ]
Oh, my God. I was so close.

He beat me.

It's like, "So..."
[ Laughs ]

I really like your tone,
Carlos.

I think that you have
a very unique voice,

but I think
that it's equally matched.

I couldn't even tell you
which way to lean, Blakey Boy.

[ Laughter ]
All right.

Um, I thought that was
so well done.

Carlos, your voice could sing
many different genres.

I think you're that guy
that could literally

tackle a rock song,

a singer/songwriter song,
a country song, a pop song.

I think you're one
of those voices

that can carry
through any genre.

That's
an incredible gift.
Thank you.

Grace, what's cool
about you

is you have this really
special unteachable thing.

It's your tone
and it's your soul,

and you're singing through it,
and it sounds pure to me.

It just depends on your --
your team, Blake,

and, like,
what you've got going on.

My schedule's clear.
I mean, I'm just doing this.

[ Laughs ] Wait, is it
your last season?

You haven't mentioned
it yet [laughs] at all.

So, I don't know.

I think I'm leaning
towards Grace

just because I love
that sound.

It's beautiful.

I don't know. Carlos is
extremely exciting to work with,

too, because he can
do anything.

Yeah, I'm not helpful.
Yeah. [ Laughs ]

Daly: Thank you, Coaches.

All right, cowboy, give us
some thoughts on that battle.

Carlos, it was cool
to hear people

talk about
you can kind of do

a little bit of anything
you want to do, you know?

I mean, you auditioned
with Eric Clapton,

and now you're doing
Randy Travis,

and you sound incredible
on both of them, man.

And then,
Grace, you know,

it's not about doing a bunch
of different things for you.

It's that you're doing
what you were born to do.

And that's just -- it's country,
whether you like it or not,

when it comes out of your mouth
and you embrace that.

And that's what makes you
classic, you know?

But I do think it was
very evenly matched.

And I appreciate both of you
for all your hard work.

All right, Blake,
this is a tough one for you.

When you're ready, tell us who
is the winner of this battle.

**

**

The winner of this battle
is Grace.

Grace, congratulations.

You're moving on
to the knockouts

representing Team Blake.

Blake: I just feel like Grace
has got an edge

on a lot of artists
in this competition

because she is so authentic
in what she does.

Grace could be a huge artist
in country music,

and I want to be
a part of that journey.

Great job, buddy.
Thanks so much.

Grace did an exceptional job,

and I'd be shocked
if she weren't in the finale.

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

Carlos, anything you want
to say to your coach?

Carlos: I'm very grateful
for this opportunity

that you gave me,
and I'll remember it forever.

Thank you.

Give it up one more time
for Carlos Rising,

ladies and gentlemen.

Blake: Carlos is super talented,
and there's no doubt about it,

but I had to go with Grace.

Her tone, everything was
just perfect.

You're highly predictable.

You said that was predictable,
what I just did?

Yeah, sorry.

Having a little
celebratory drink.

[ Laughter ]

I can't stand him,

but I also love him.

He is the ultimate coach
on this show.

Everybody knows that.

[ Laughter ]

It's a loss for "The Voice,"

but also it's a gain
for humanity,

'cause you get
to see less of him.

[ Laughs ]

So there's that.

Do you like your drink?

Delicious. Thank you.

Ahh!
Daly: Coming up...

Hey, hey!
Daly: ...our coaches push

their artists to new heights.
Take charge, y'all.

Yes!
It's y'all show.

Do the harmony thing, and make
sure that they're really tight.

Girls...have fun.
Thank you.

* That's all
they really want *

Daly: And the performances
blow the roof

off the "Voice" stage.

* On these days,
it feels like you and me *

* Heartbreak anniversary,
yeah *

Whoo!
Come on, boys.

Whoo-hoo!
It's crazy.

Insane.
That was phenomenal.

You two should be
in the finale.

Daly: Wait!
We got to steal!

That is the playoff pass!

Whoa!

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back.

Are you excited?
This is your, like, first --

I can't wait.
It's my first battles.

This is kind of -- You kind of
ruined it a little bit for me,

because I'm always
the one that's like,

"I've been in
a singing competition."

Well...
And you've been
in a singing competition,

and we, like --
we both won.

We didn't win.
What?

We didn't win.
You didn't win your show?

No.
Well, we got a medal.

Third place.
So you do know where we --

[ Laughs ]

Honestly,
what is this?

You should lead with, "I can
help you get to third place."

[ Laughs ]

Kate: I was so stoked
when I found out

that we were paired together.
Tiana: I know!
I was so excited.

Yeah. I can't believe that we're
actually working with Niall now

after just the chair turns
and all the, like, magic.

Finally.
Yeah.

I didn't get
a chair turn last time.

Now that I'm here,
it's, like, surreal.

* It's just emotions
taking me over *

* Caught up in sorrow *

Knowing that Niall
turned his chair

and believed in my vocals...

Oh, my God!

...it just feels
so validating.

In your blind audition,
you with your guitar,

your whole vibe
was just beautiful.

* I say a little prayer
for you *

Kate: I would have been honored
to be on any team,

but I freaked out
when Niall turned around

because he's such
a great songwriter

and that's what I hope to do.

Niall: There's an already-made
star in there.

You've got this
Italian confidence.

You've got such a cool vibe
to you.

Thank you.
It's clown couture.
[ Laughs ]

I'm super excited
to be coached by Niall.

Let's do it.
Let's go.

I would just love
to pick up

all the little pieces
that make a superstar.

Oh-oh!

What's up?
Hello!

Tiana: Hello!
How are ya?

I paired Kate and Tiana
together

simply because I knew
that both of them

knew exactly who they wanted
to be as an artist.

So I thought that
"Girls Just Want to Have Fun"

by Cyndi Lauper was
the perfect song for these two.

How's Nashville?

Nashville's good.
How's engagement world?

Engagement's great.
It's weird.

I feel like I aged five years
when it happened.
[ Laughs ]

After the blind auditions,
I actually got engaged,

which was super exciting.

My fiancé's name is Bennett.

We met on an online dating app,

and he's just
my favorite person.

He's my best friend.

I'm excited to get to share
this moment with my new family,

and this is something that I get
to talk about at my wedding,

like, "Hey, I was on
'The Voice.'

You can see me there."

Your audition, what you did
with "I Say a Little Prayer,"

and then you telling me
that you also wanted to dance.

Yes. Mm-hmm.
Yes.

I've had an idea.

Okay.
Okay.

There's a version of this song
that starts quite chill,

and it allows you to show off
before you dance.

Okay.
For sure.

Let's start with, like,
Kate starting it.
Mm-hmm.

Then, Tiana, you come in
and sing,

"Oh, mama dear, we're not
the fortunate ones."

Okay.
And then try and do
the harmony thing

and make sure
that they're really tight,

'cause it will make
those harmony moments

stand out in what
is a chaotic song.

* I come home
in the morning light *

Niall:
What I love about Kate is

she has the ability
to make any song her own.

She knows who she is.

She knows the type of artist
she wants to be.

* But girls, they want
to have fun *

* Oh, girls *
Niall: Tiana has one of the most

beautiful tones
in this competition.

I love that she's got
a few different sides to her.

* The phone rings
in the middle of the night *

* My father yells *
I relate so much to the song

because of my sisters
and -- and my mom.

It's just girl power
in my household.

That's something I really
appreciate about my mom.

She really encouraged us
to have fun with your sisters

because there's no tighter bond.

Like, my sisters and I,
we're like this,

so I just want
to make them proud.

I just want to put on
a good performance for them.

* Girls just wanna have fun *

Ha-ha!

God, that's so good.
[ Laughter ]

All right. Okay.

I think it's very easy
to get excited

with a song like this,

but it's definitely important
to not over-sing,

and I wouldn't be going,
* The phone rings *

* In the middle
of the night *

* My ma-- *
Okay.

Yeah, I'd be like,
* My father says *

* "What you gonna do
with your life?" *

And just keep it in that world.
Okay.

Being on TV...
Right.

...this is so different versus
if you were out there gigging.

What you have
to remember is...

this -- you keep it tight here,
and then that goes down there,

and it goes straight
through their TVs at home

with no mad reverb.

So whatever goes in here
comes out the other end...

[ Laughter ]

...for the want of
a better phrase. [ Laughs ]
Yep.

Um, so just like when
we're breaking into harmonies,

make sure they're
completely controlled.

How do you calm
your nerves?

The only time
I ever get nervous

is when I'm not fully sure
what I'm doing.

Yeah.
But you know about

this playoff pass?
Yes.

So I-I think that will take
some of the edge off the nerve.

Yeah.
You know, that there's --

if --
if we both do this well,

there's a good chance
that both of us are going.

Girls...
Girls...
Thank you.

...have fun.
Yep.

[ Laughs ]
We're gonna have fun.

We're just trying
to have fun, yep.

That's it.
That's my favorite one, that.

Perfect.
It's beautiful.

Awesome.

I love the both of you
and just --

you know where I am,
talk to me.

Niall cares so much
about his team

and having that one-on-one
experience with him

was just a magical moment.

He's done the competition,
and he's toured the world

and so everything he says
is valuable to me.

I was gonna teach you
a routine.

[ Laughs ] Were you?
Let's see it.

Yeah, what were you gonna do?
Come on, show off the moves.

See, this is where sarcasm
doesn't work in America.

I absolutely haven't got
a dancing bone in my body.

If you teach me yours,
can you do that?

Just a little
butt wiggle.

All we do is...
Uh-huh.

There you go.
Uh-huh.

There you go, you're in it.
Yeah.

Coming out of rehearsal...

Bye!
Niall: See ya!

...my thought was just,
"We got to practice."

Kate: And we're practicing.
We're practicing.

Just nailing the harmonies

and selling this song so that
we get the playoff pass,

because, I mean,
it's a girl-power anthem.

How are you gonna divide us?

You can't.

Oh, I'm done.

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly:
Welcome back to the battles
at Universal Studios Hollywood.

[ Cheers and applause ]

[ Laughs ]

This battle begins right now.

[ Cheers and applause ]

* I come home
in the morning light *

* My mother says, "When you
gonna live your life right?" *

[ Cheers and applause ]

Yes!

**

Chance: Wow, wow, wow.

That was a really cool
arrangement of that song.

Thanks.
Thank you.

I felt the lyrics
for the first time.

Do you feel like we want
to have fun?

Now I understand you, Kelly.
Now you know.

You just want to have fun.
Oh, you just want
to have a good time.

I get it.
I thought it was awesome.

I think you guys smashed
the choreography.

Thanks.
Thank you.

That's not something
that you typically think about

when you're going to work
on "The Voice,"

but it is definitely
a star quality

and something that you want
to be able to control a stage.

Kate, I just think
you're so cool.

And there was, like, a little
moment where you did something,

and you're, like, singing,
and your head got to going.

I was like, "This is hilarious.
It's so cute."

Glad you think it's cool.
Thanks.

Straight vibes, y'all.

If I had to choose just based on
who I think

is gonna make it as a star,
I wouldn't be able to choose

'cause I think both of you guys
are phenomenal.

Thank you.

True.

But if I had to go
just based off of the battle,

I would have to
give the edge to Kate.

[ Cheers and applause ]

This one can be a little
difficult to show,

like, your
vocal capability, right?

So I thought it was cool
that you did slow it down

in the beginning,
'cause we could hear you

individually, like,
without the fun.

Well, not the fun.
Kate, you sing well.

And also you're
entertaining to watch.

And I thought that was perfect
for this song.

And, Tiana, I loved whenever
you did get your shot

without the harmony,
and it was just you solo.

You were trying to showcase,
like, "This is my tone.

This is how I sound,
you know, kind of thing."

'Cause this can be
a hard song to do

when it's doing
the up-tempo part.

I don't think anybody outdid
anybody here.

I think it's
an even playing field, so...

[ Cheers and applause ]

I feel like Tiana
took the battle.

I mean, I feel like every time
I heard something

that I felt like was exactly
on-pitch and in the pocket,

it was always Tiana.

So that's who
I would go with.

Thank you, Coaches.

Niall, you've got
the final decision.

Give us some thoughts
on the battle.

Pre-battle, Tiana's like,
"I want to get up and dance."

And I was like, "Fair play," and
Kate's saying the same thing.

Like, girl that walks out
with a guitar

wants to now
get up and dance.

So I was like,
"This is perfect."

And a friend of mine
did a version of this song

where it was broken down,

and I just thought that would be
a great way to start

so the girls can show off
what they can do.

And then it broke out
into an amazing performance,

something that you don't get
to see a lot on shows like this.

I'm really proud
of the both of you.

Niall, who's the winner
of this battle?

**

Based off what she can give
to the competition

and the fire and the sass
and the -- the willingness...

I think the winner
of the battle is...

Kate.

Daly:
Kate, congratulations.

You're moving on to knockouts.

Niall: Kate and Tiana
was a very tough one.

I think with Kate,

she's got an amazing,
eclectic taste of music.

You did a great job.

She would take a song,
she would make it her own.

This girl is a ready-made star.

Daly:
Coaches, let me remind you that
Tiana is available to steal.

Tiana, anything you want to say
to your coach?

Niall, it's been a pleasure
being on your team.

Thank you to everyone.

Thank you.
Give it up for Tiana Goss,

ladies and gentlemen.

Wait! We got a steal!

Blake:
Whose got a steal?

Oh, my God!

I'm shaking, I'm shaking.

Daly: Chance the Rapper
uses his only steal!

Yeah!

I made my steal.
Finally, I got Tiana.

I appreciate it.
Oh, yeah, no problem.

Welcome, welcome.
Thank you.

I saw potential,
and she has soul to her voice

and she has a stage presence.

I'm excited to see
what she's gonna do

on Team Chance.
Yes, sir!

I'm just so, so grateful.

But what about Chance,
though?

Oh! [ Laughs ]
That was cool, I guess.

Oh, Chance.
I'm very excited for you.

I'm excited, too.
Thank you.
Thank you.

Absolutely.
Thank you.

Team Chance.

[ Laughs ]

That's my coach.

Did you do
the choreography?
[ Laughs ]

Can you tell?

I mean, there was, like,
some of this stuff.

Like, I literally lost it.
I was like, "This is --

This is cute."

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back
to the battles.

**

Oh, my God.
What's up, ladies?

Hi.
Hi!

I'm so excited
for this performance.

Thank you.
Oh, my God, are you excited?

Yeah!
Yeah?

I'm so excited.
I'm pumped.

I need you to know this is
going to be very hard for me,

because you're both
really stellar

and you're both completely
different singers.

Okay?
Okay.
Yeah.

I've literally been
talking to the coaches.

I'm like, "I have no idea
what I'm gonna do."

I'm gonna make them
use the steal. Okay.

Okay. Bye, y'all.
Bye!

I paired Holly and Katie Beth

because I was curious what
they would sound like together.

Okay. Okay.
That was wild.

I wasn't expecting that.

This was my favorite rehearsal

I think I've ever
experienced on "The Voice."

Hi!
Hi!
Hi!

What's up, y'all?

I gave them Ingrid Andress'
song, "Lady Like,"

because it leans to pop
and it also leans to country.

And that's perfect for them.

I loved both of your voices
so much.

Your voice is definitely
like the sweetness

and how you started out.

That was my favorite part
of your voice,

and I love that you did
Justin Bieber,

I believe with "Ghost," right?
Yeah.

* I'll settle for
the ghost of you *

The blind auditions were
the craziest experience ever.

There you go.
Kelly.

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

When Niall and Kelly
both turned for me...

Oh, my gosh.
...my stomach did a flip.

We literally have not heard
anyonelike you.

Like, you will stand out.
Thank you.

I'm proud to be different.

And I think Kelly
took notice of that.

And I think she can help me
figure out

how to be my very best.

Oh, my gosh, Holly.
I-I literally was already like,

"Oh, my God,
what an amazing singer."

And at the end of it,
I was like, "I'm sorry, what?"

[ Laughter ]

* Mississippi girl *

You better sing.
Yeah!

When I realized
that I had a three-chair turn,

I was shocked a little bit.
Chance: Whoo!

It was a dream come true.

Is this thing on?
Oh, my God.

I'm so happy right now.
That was incredible.

Kelly is probably
the most vocally capable woman

of our time, so I was super
excited to be on Team Kelly.

I love this song.
Holly: We do, too.

We're like,
it's the perfect mesh.

You did a great job
at picking.

Oh, my God, good.

I love the idea
of powerful women

just singing a powerful message.
Yeah.

I think
it's undeniably cool.

This song is all about
female empowerment.

* Controversial *

* So outspoken *

Holly: I'm very outspoken.

I have a lot
of convictions and opinions.

Yeah!
And I think celebrating
all women is super important.

Even though I'm involved
in the pageant industry,

you know,
you don't have to have

a full face of hair
and makeup to be ladylike.

My mom and I own a boutique,

and we are working with women

to dress them in something
that makes them feel confident.

I believe that every
woman benefits

from having another woman
in her corner

being kind and building her up.

So I was super excited to convey
that message through a song

that is as powerful
as "Lady Like".

* Lipstick in a cigarette pack
on the dash *

Kelly:
Holly is like a powerhouse

female country singer.
Yeah!

So it was interesting to see
Holly take on this song

and then take it up the octave
and do these cool runs,

because she has
a very full, big voice.

* Sometimes
I'm not polite *

* Don't bite my tongue,
speak my mind *

Katie Beth has this really
cool thing about her.

These incredible
runs that she does,

and she goes to places
that are almost jazz-like,

but in a pop country song.
Pretty.

She's incredible.

* I've been told
I'm not ladylike *

Ooh, I love where
you're leaving that.

Ahh, that was good!

Okay.

Um, love the octave jump.
That was really cool.

Love coming in --
That high harmony? Okay.

You have a really cool,
hidden rasp.

Thank you.
That's so unique.

Nobody
sounds like that.

Thank you so much.
You're so little

for that sound.
[ Laughs ]

It's really cool.

Katie Beth: Kelly was
really encouraging,

and that was so helpful,

because I could never see
something this big happening

to a girl this small,
you know, from this small place.

Savannah, Tennessee,
is a very tiny town.

Like, people ride
their horses places.

Like, this is small-town life.

In Savannah, my husband and I

get to teach music lessons
to people in our community.

It's really special, because
we get to do the thing we love

and help other people
love it, too.

I'm very hopeful to make it
to the knockout round.

I'm working my tail off
to -- to get there.

I want to really represent
the place that I come from,

because it's really special.

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

"Oh my God, I have to fit
all these words in"...
Yeah.

...you can take a breath.

The only reason why I say that
is you're conquering it now.

But once we get out there,
you're gonna be freezing.

And then, you know, the crowd
comes in, you're excited.

So like, you're gonna
have less air

than you think you --
than you will now, right?

Oh, my gosh, Holly,
you are a powerhouse.

[ Laughs ] So I'm gonna make you
be a little softer

just in
the very beginning,

'cause it's kind
of interesting

that you're saying,
"So outspoken,

but it's --
it's a little soft.

It's like, you know,
when your mom gets mad at you,

but it's, like, not loud,
but you're, like, more scared.

Yeah, but it's just more of,
like * More outspoken *

like, more just like a little
softer but with intent.

Do you think I should come
off of that faster

and do the riff?

No, I think just maybe
a little vibrato,

just push in there is
the only thing I would do,

only because of the vowel,
not because of your voice.

Holly wants to win this, y'all.
Holly showed up.

She's here to work,
and that's awesome to work with.

All right, bring it in.
Amazing.

Yay.
Holly is such a big singer,

but Katie Beth does not seem
intimidated at all.

So as long as she is full on
who she is as a vocalist

and leans into her strengths
like she did today

in rehearsals,
she is going to soar.

Y'all have a good one.
Y'all have a good one.
Thank you.

I'll see you
in a couple days.

Bye, y'all.
Bye.

They're both equally gifted.

Wow.

I have no idea
what I'm going to do.

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back.

[ Cheers and applause ]

The battle starts now.

* I could bring you
to your knees *

* And get you kicked out
the Garden of Eden *

* Untamable, unframeable *

* Mona Lisa *

* Oh, kiss you like
a whiskey fire *

* Turn around,
leave your heart in a riot *

* Lipstick in a cigarette pack
on the dash *

* I'm a lady like that *

* I'm a lady like that *

* Ooh *

* Oh, kiss you like
a whiskey fire *

* Turn around,
leave your heart in a riot *

* Lipstick in a cigarette pack
on the dash *

* I'm a lady like that *

[ Cheers and applause ]

* I'm a lady like that *

Kelly: Yes!

**

Whoo!

[ Cheers and applause ]

Yeah.

Hey, girls. First of all,
uh, terrible high five

there at the end.

I mean, that was awkward
as hell.

[ Laughter ]

I'm always excited
when I see a country singer

coming out here.

It's always weird when
they're not on my team, though.

How did it feel when I won
twice with them? [ Laughs ]

I know.

Was that a weird feeling?
[ Laughs ]

I can't win every time.

Holly has a more classic
country singer voice.

Like, when she goes for the
note, she gets loud and big.

And it sounded really good.

But on the contrast, Katie,
your tone is the craziest thing.

The volume never changes,
but the notes go anywhere

it seems like
you want them to go.

You're hitting
some cool harmonies.

You were hitting
some high notes there.

I've never heard anything
quite like that before.

It's crazy good.

Niall: Hi, girls.
Hi.

That was phenomenal.

And, Holly, I've just
always been a-a fan

of a classic
country voice.

That song was probably more
in Holly's comfort zone,

and I felt like, Katie Beth,
you stayed in your lane,

you sung the song the way
you wanted to sing it.

It's easy when you get
a big voice against you

like that to want to go
and attack it yourself

and kind of lose who you are,
which is amazing.

So I thought it was
brilliant.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Chance: I think, Holly, I think
strength of your voice,

the confidence in your voice
carried the performance.

The battle rounds
is an opportunity for us

to see two people work
on the same arrangement

and offer their interpretation
of it.

And I-I liked what
Holly did with it,

so I would go with Holly.

Daly: Thank you, Coaches.

All right, Kel,
you got the final decision.

Give us some thoughts
on the battle.

I think right off
the bat, like, Holly,

you have a big voice,
so people obviously hear that.

But I don't think
people realize like, you know,

we heard all those harmonies
in there, too.

And that's hard when you're not
as powerful of a singer

in that sense to hang.
Yeah.

And, like, Katie,
you did.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Your runs are so cool
and so different,

and it rings through.

And, Holly, you are
straight-up country,

but I don't think necessarily
you're limited to that.

You will do these crazy things
where you can go extremely high

and do almost like
these whistle notes.

It's like crazy,
your range.

And so you both offer

something completely different
for my team.

Kelly, the time has come.
Who's the winner of this battle?

**

You both did incredible,

but the winner
of this battle

is Holly.

Holly -- moving on
to the knockouts,

representing Team Kelly.

It was a hard decision
between Katie Beth and Holly,

because they're two completely
different paths, right,

that I would have taken.

The reason why I ended up
going with Holly

is 'cause she's got
amazing runs.

Thank you so much.

She's a country girl,
but, like, she can tackle

kind of any genre,
and that was exciting to me.

Pitch perfect.
It was so good.

Team Kelly has got Holly Brand,

and we should all be nervous.

Super talent.

She's a big threat
on Team Kelly.

Daly: Coaches, let me
remind you Katie Beth
is available to steal.

Anything you want to say
to your coach?

This has been the most
wonderful,

humbling experience
I've ever had.

And thank you, thank you.
Give it up one more time

for Katie Beth Forakis,
ladies and gentlemen.

Niall: The level in
this competition is so good,

but it's still hard
to see people go home.

My team is amazing.

**

Okay.

[ Laughter ]

Daly: Coming up...

* Time *
Oh, my God!

* On these days,
it feels like you and me *

* Heartbreak anniversary *
Come on, boys!

Daly: ...the artists shoot
for the stars...

That was crazy.

That was one of
the best performances

that we've seen
in the battle round so far.

Daly: ...and shine
on the big stage.

You two should be
in the finale.

[ Laughs ]

And then...

That is the playoff pass!

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Two talented singers go
head-to-head from Team Chance.

It's battle day, guys.
I'm ready.

Daly: Nariyella!

Nariyella: Being here,

I'm just pushing myself
to new limits.

Yes!
So I'm determined to stay.

[ Cheers and applause ]
Chloe: I'm very excited.

Just like, aah, I feel like
a freaking dynamite stick,

a blue one.
Daly: Chloe Abbott!

Chloe: Chance put
a lot of work into us,

so I just hope that we give him
what he knows we can do.

I just got to execute,
and that's all I can focus on.

Chance: Hey, this one could
really go either way for me...

Okay.
...so give me real advice.

Okay.
I have no idea.

**

All right, Nariyella and Chloe.

I paired Chloe and Nariyella.

Chloe was a one-chair turn.

* How deep is your love? *

Chance:
I feel like sometimes

people underestimate
the softer singers.

I feel like Anita Baker
and Norah Jones somehow.

I've never seen that before.
Those are my girls!

It's stylistically
what we need in music,

so I was super excited
to get her.

* You got one night only *

Nariyella was a four-chair turn,
which I won.

So I hold the opportunity
to be her coach near and dear.

Whoa.

Your skill level is way, way,
way beyond your years,

way, way, way beyond
your experience.

They're both amazing R&B artists
in their own right.

And so I gave them
"I Want You Around"

by Snoh Aalegra.

I figured that both of them
would be fans of Snoh Aalegra,

as most people are,

and I wanted
to see their takes on it.

I haven't seen anybody do it
the way we're about to do it.

No, right.
So hopefully,
he likes our idea.

This is the first time
that this song

is actually being brought
on to "The Voice."

So I feel very special
introducing new tracks.

You know what I'm saying?

Hey!
Hey.
Hi.

It's a vibe.
Team Chance in the building.

What's up?
What up?

Hey.

Our team really got
the best coach, respectfully.

He works with some of the most
popular and modern artists.

We're getting a taste
of that one on one.

What?

How most artists get ready
for a tour is they, like,

have a small room
like this

with a bunch of
side fills or monitors

and they just sit in a circle
and just jam.
Yeah.

This is kind of like the best
way to, like, refine it.

I'm so excited.

You know, it's Chance,
he's accomplished

so many great things
and so I'm really just open

to anything that he has
to offer to us,

because even being here
is a blessing.

Growing up, seeing my mom,
raising three children,

just watching her grind
definitely instilled in me

the importance of finding what
it is you're passionate about

and really going after it
no matter what.

In addition to music,

I'm a student, and I substitute
teach part time.

I feel like I'm living many
different lives all in one,

so I feel driven to capitalize
on this opportunity.

What'd you guys think about
the song and the arrangement?

We love the song.
We love the song.

There we go.
Snoh is very chill.

Yeah.
We kind of kept that vibe,

but also, like,
elevated it

with our harmonies,
with instrumentation choices.

You guys made a-a change
to the arrangement?

Melodically.
Take charge, y'all.

Yes!
This y'all show.

I want to hear it.

Nariyella:
* We can get away *

* Palm trees, beach views,
ordinary day *

Chance: Nariyella's got a huge
voice, a little more big gospel

or R&B-leaning style.
* You *

* I try not to show *
Chloe's biggest strength

is control.
* We don't really want to *

And when she does runs,
it's more jazz-inspired,

laid-back feel.

* You *

They're so immensely talented
but also very different,

so I'm already torn.

Yeah, you rocked it.
I love that arrangement.

What you guys have as a unit
is dope and beautiful.

And I think TV needs more
Black sisterhood.

Talk about it.
Hey.

Have y'all ever seen when
Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston

did the "Prince of Egypt"
song together?

Have you ever seen when
Monica and Brandy did

"The Boy Is Mine"?

I was just really saying
those things to say,

like, sometimes when you guys
turn to each other

and you guys are trying to find
the note, it feels strained.

So, like, do more
responding lines,

'cause those sound good.

And, Nari, really for you,
I'm just thinking like,

you should just go crazy.

How? 'Cause I don't want
to get to a point

where I'm overdoing it.

Yeah, I would say
don't shrink yourself ever.

When it comes out
of Chloe's voice to your voice,

then you should be like,
"This is my part."

And I think, Chloe,
you've got a full hold on

exactly what it is
that you're trying to do.

But I think just, like,
you know, feel it

and show yourself
through it.
Okay.

For people like me who have
always thought,

"Oh, bigger is better,"

Chance really just showed me
that me being me is enough.

And so I have to make sure
that I'm really singing it,

like, telling my story.

As a professional athlete
in track and field,

I'm still training right now
while I'm here, you know,

like, I'm honestly
balancing a lot.

* Now you're the one
I'm thinking of *

Yeah.
This song,
it's literally like...

Yeah.
...I want to want you,
but at the same time,

maybe can't right now
in this season of my life.

* We can get away *

And that's something
I'm currently experiencing.

And so I'mma preach
that song now,

you know, you're gonna feel
what I'm feeling, like,

that's the goal.

* Just want to get away
right next to you *

* I want you around *

Yes!

Now I can feel the difference
when I go to each side

that there are two amazing
performers coming together

at a high level and being like,
"This is what I do."

That was fire.

That was one of
the best rehearsals.

Nariyella: What?
Yeah.

Hey!
We did the --

Chloe: Hey, hey, hey!
Y'all are hilarious.

Security!
Hey!

[ Laughs ]
Chance: For this round,

I'm just looking for
who can take the song

and make it their own
and make the moment --

I hate to say it
about themselves --
but about themselves

and, like, really be the show
in that moment.

**

* You *

* Come through,
I think I... *

It's so important
to get to have these rehearsals

'cause I'mma be honest,

I'm a little concerned
with this one.

Seeing it on stage now,

I think there's a lot
of pressure

that they're putting on
themselves with choreography.

So sometimes you got to
switch up the show in rehearsal.

I'm gonna keep it 100
with y'all.

The first one wasn't
all the way there,

but I feel like it was

'cause you guys
were trying to remember like...
Everything.

..."Oh, I point, then you point
or you lean back,"

like, it's like so much
to think about.

I'm giving you guys free range
to pick and choose

what you guys want
to take out,

but we're only gonna
get one pass...
And let it flow, yeah.

...when it's actually the real
time, so I want you guys

to be able to, like, sing

and not be trying to, like,
remember the next eight count.

Okay.
They're both so good.

I hope that they just step out
into their own,

but I don't know how
it's gonna go, to be honest.

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly:
Welcome back to the battles.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Daly:
Let the battle begin.

**

Oh,
I like the beginning.

* It's not that I don't want
you here, yeah *

* It's something
'bout the way *

* You stare into my eyes *

* I know that I don't make
things clear, no *

* I fall for you every time
I try to resist you, yeah *

* We can get away *

* Palm trees, beach views,
ordinary day *

* All I wanna hear is
inner visions on replay *

Yeah!
* And sit right next
to you, you *

* Hey, I try not to show
how I feel about you *

* Thinking we should wait,
we don't really want to *

* I just wanna get away *

* Sit right next to you *

* You *

* I don't wanna kiss you *

* Yeah, I just wanna
feel you *

* Feel you *
* Feel you *

* Feel you *

* I want you around *

* Around *

* Around *

* I want you around *

Nariyella: * Around *

* Around, 'round, 'round,
'round *

* Come through,
I think I need you here *

* But I swear it's hard *

* To keep
these feelings to *
Hey!

* Myself *

* Now you're the one
I'm thinking of *

* My higher ground,
my rocket love *

* Bump gravity,
I'd rather stay up here, but *

* We can get away *

* Palm trees,
beach views *

* Ordinary day *

* All I wanna hear is
inner visions on replay *

* And sit right next
to you, oh, you *

* I try not to show
how I feel about you *

* Thinking we should wait,
we don't really want to *

* I just wanna get away *
Oh, my God.

* Next to you *

* I want you around *

* Around *

* Around *

* I want you around *

* Around *

* I want you around *

[ Cheers and applause ]

That was cool.

[ Laughs ]

Oh, man.

Wow.
So good.

That was one of
my favorite battles.

Yeah.

That was --
That was so crazy.

Oh, my God.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Chloe, your range
is phenomenal.

And there's, like, a little,
like Erykah Badu, like,

about how your attitude --
like, how you sing.

It's, like, a different way
of storytelling.

And then, Nariyella,
like, your tone --

oh, man,
it's just so smooth.

And it's got the perfect
amount of, like, grit to it.

It's very hard for me,

but I was leaning towards
Nariyella.

Thanks, Kelly.

Blake: This one's a little bit
tougher for me

'cause it's sofar
out of my lane,

although I do know
this song very well.
Do you?

Very well, by...
Snoh...

[ Laughter ]

..."Allergia."

You know, I-I'm just kind of
basing it off of feel, though,

and Nariyella just --
it just felt like

she had that song
by the throat

the whole time
against the ropes.

And I would probably be
leaning towards Nariyella, too.

[ Cheers and applause ]

That was phenomenal.

Thank you.

Chloe, yeah, it's like watching
a full-time pop star.

I would love to sing harmonies
with you.

And, Nariyella,
the tone is just like --

there's no stopping
for a gasp of air or anything.

It's just
a continuous storyline.

And then you obviously
can go up there

and take the roof
off the place.

This is a tough battle.

Thank you, Coaches.

All right, Chance,
this is a tough one, man.

Well, I want to start with
Chloe. I want to just say

you have a very specific tone.

It's very reminiscent
of Anita Baker.

You have a very strong
jazz influence,

but it's very contemporary.

And so I think of you as, like,
a recording artist.

Nari, I think you're
a vocalist's vocalist.

Like, you have a crazy tone

and a -- and a crazy control
of your vocal.

You guys are both amazing
artists in your own right,

and well past this show...
Chloe: Thank you.

...you guys are gonna have
a lot of success.
Thank you.

Thank you so much,
Chance.

Chance, tough decision for you
here, but the time has come.

Who is the winner
of this battle?

Uh...

Man. I'm gonna lean
into my gut feeling,

and only basing it
on this battle...

...uh...

the winner of this battle
is Nariyella.

Daly:
Nariyella, congratulations!

You're moving on to
the knockouts for Team Chance!

Not easy.

Chance: Chloe and Nariyella
was probably

one of the toughest decisions
I made in the battle rounds.

She's got a really
strong voice.

Man, I'm really excited
to work with Nariyella

and just give her some of the
big songs that she deserves.

Great job.
So good.

I'm grateful.
I'm very grateful.

And it's just motivation
to keep going, keep going.

Chloe, anything you want
to say to Chance?

Definitely tough to take,
but I definitely am so grateful

that I got to
work with you.

You're a phenomenal artist.
Please keep making music.

If I would have had a steal,

I definitely would have
stolen Chloe.

And I was sad to see her
leave the competition.

It sucks
'cause she's socool.

She's so fire.

Chance's team surprised me,
y'all.

I didn't know his team was
that good until the battles,

and I was like, "Wait, what?"

Audience:
We love you, Kelly!

Thank you.
[ Cheers and applause ]

Too bad
nobody loves Chance.

[ Laughs ]

[ Audience shouting ]

There we go.
I mean...

[ Cheering ]

Oh, my God.

[ Cheers and applause ]

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly:
Welcome back to the battles.

**

What are we doing here?

So we have to
pair your team.

This is what
I was thinking --

Ryley and Michael.

Two of them have
two big voices.

Mm-hmm.

Both super-nice dudes.

We can have commonality there,
musically.
Yeah, yeah.

And it would be
a hell of a battle.

Yeah, I love it.

Give us a beat.
[ Laughs ]

Niall gave me and Michael B.
"Heartbreak Anniversary"

by Giveon.

He could not have done better
with the song choice,

and as soon
as we started rehearsing,

we really clicked right away

and our personalities blended
really well.

Michael: We just dove right in.
I got on keys.

* When you walked
out my life *

* Why'd you walk out
my life? *

Then he got on keys,
and we were, like,

trying to divvy out,
like, who --

how do we want to do this?

We spent a lot of time
splitting it how we wanted to.

Staring contest
Whoever wins gets to
start the song.

**

Ah!
Ha!

Oh, hello.
Hey. Good to see you.

Ryley Tate,
how's it going, bud?

What's up?
Nice to see you.

Hi, Michael.
Good to see you.

I am extremely excited
to be finally

working with
someone as amazing as Niall.

I can't wait to see
what comes next.

Look at those
piercing eyes.

You're -- You're staring
at yourself.

Have you ever seen a face
that big?
[ Laughter ]

Michael: Getting to, like,
work with Niall

and collaborate with him
is really, really special.

I'm nerding out that I'm here.
Another day at the office.

You guys were, like,
the first pair that I made.

Oh, wow!
Really?

In my head,
it felt really natural.

Like, in the audition,
the two of you sang

similar heartbreaky
love songs

and had similar nuances
to your voice.

Are you happy with the song,
first of all?
Absolutely.

Beyond.
We're ecstatic.

This song suits the both of you
down to the ground.

We made a full studio recording
of our arrangement.
Yeah.

Honestly, how can the other
teams compete with this level?

[ Laughter ]

* Heartbreak anniversary *

Niall:
This song -- it's emotional.

It's got R&B,
it's got a bit of soul,

and I just feel like both guys
have all of that in abundance.

* These days it feels like
you and me *

It's really crazy to me to think
that I'm doing a rehearsal,

hanging out with Niall Horan.

And literally two weeks ago
I was at home,

and I just failed
my permit test.

Like, I literally
don't even have a permit

or a license or anything.

Like, I'm 15.

But I'm studying up
to try and make it next time

when I get back home
and hopefully can get my car

and not have to be picked up
by all my friends all the time.

My mom is my teacher at home.

Being homeschooled,
I like that there's more freedom

to work your own schedule,

and if I can complete
all my assignments quickly,

I have more time to focus
on songwriting

and music and production
and sound design and engineering

and things like that that
I really am passionate about.

* Somebody said
you got a new friend *

Niall: I do see a lot of myself
in Ryley Tate.

He's a young, excitable
15-year-old kid

on one of the biggest
TV shows on the planet.

And I was like that.

[ Cheers and applause ]

* I'll keep dancing on my own *

Niall: Ryley Tate's audition
was incredible.

He had the place on their feet.

Ryley:
I could not believe it.

I literally was genuinely
pinching myself, like,

"Is this actually happening?"

My head nearly exploded.

It's so nice
to hear a 15-year-old

have that confidence
in their own ability.

I'm gonna have to
go with Niall, 100%.

Yes!

Ryley Tate -- he's gifted
way beyond his years.

He's a real musical dude.

Ryley Tate,
that was amazing.

You could do with
ramping the song.

You know, sing soft,
tell the story.

* On the day
that I met you *

And then you start ramping
towards the chorus

and leave it for later
in the song to really, like...

[Louder] * On the day
that I met you *

Michael, I think you could
sit back on it a touch

and sit into that kind of
R&B pocket a little bit.

Just relax into it
and feel every line as you go

and try
and tell the story

as much as you're thinking about
what you're doing vocally.

Mm. Okay.

* 'Cause I *

Niall: All the best R&B singers
are ones that kind of

sit behind the beat,
nearly sound out of time.

* On these days
it feels like *
I just want Michael

to just sit back
into the R&B pocket

because you don't want to
sound too rushed.

Niall: For you, Michael,
obviously,

it just feels really
comfortable.

It feels like
it's in your pocket,

the type of song that,
like, if someone said,

"Here's an open mic.
Go."

Oh, yeah.

Before COVID, I was in this
"Jersey Boys" tribute concert.

I lived out of a suitcase
for like three and a half years.

Here we are backstage
at the MGM Grand.

In St. Martin.
San Francisco, California.

I kind of was like, "I am doing
what I'm supposed to do."

We're here at Notre Dame.

When COVID hit, the entire
live-performance industry died.

I had to figure out
a way to make money.

Hello.

I got a job
in the TV-commercial world,

and I started to get coffees
for directors,

you know,
whatever they needed.

I was thrilled because
I was able to make my rent.

No.

The light of the dream
was dimming more and more

as each year passed...

Well, first one in,
last one out.

...until my blind audition.

It just reminded me, like,
"Hey, dude, you're a singer.

You should sing."

On my blind,
I was very nervous.

I hadn't performed
in years on a stage.

I was like, "Whoa!
I haven't done this in a while."

* I don't know why *

* I run away *

Yes!
Yes!

* Save your tears *

Niall: Michael B. -- he's an
absolute diamond of a guy,

incredible singer.

Whoo!

We are going to do
magic things together.

I'm ready.
Me and you, Michael.
Come on!

I'm ready.
Let's do it.

Niall was
my number-one choice, too.

I was just so grateful
that he turned around.

I really needed this,
'cause this was the final straw.

I was gonna, like, hang my hat
on performing, honestly.

For a duet,
it could be

another one or two
little harmonies.

Do you do one on the
"Why you walk out my life"?

Ryley:
No, we don't.
* It's cold outside *

* When you walked out
my life *
* When you walked out
my life *

[ Voice cracking ]
* Why'd you walk out *

* Why you *
* Why you *

* When you walked
out my life *

That was my big problem
I was having.
Right. Okay.

I'm cracking a lot.
Yeah, okay, that's fine.
That's fine.

Don't worry. It doesn't go away
too soon, I'm telling you.

[ Laughter ]

I cracked
for about six years.

I wonder,
could you do the low one?

Michael:
Yeah, we can try it.
Let's try that.

I'm 15, and some harmonies
were making me crack a lot.

* Like when you walked out
my life *

Ryley:
Niall's background

working as a teenager
really helped me.

And the longer I can have
his mentorship, the better.

* Get like this
every time *

Both Michael and Ryley Tate
are incredible singers.

* On these days,
it feels like you and me *

Niall: This battle is gonna
come down to

who has listened
to the notes the best

and whoever makes me feel
the most.

I'm so happy
and proud of you.

Thank you.
Thank you so much.

Michael: It's kind of scary
being a one-chair turn

compared to a four-chair turn.

It makes me think
all the other coaches

just didn't hear something
that they were waiting for.

I really want to prove to them,

"Oh, I should have turned around
for you in the first place."

See you later.
Thank you.

Go work.

Kelly: Oh, my God.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Whoo!

That was crazy.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Chance: Man.
What?!

That was just insane.

Thank you so much.

That was one of the best
performances that we've seen

in the battle rounds
so far.

Oh, my gosh.
My God.

It was incredible how you guys
bounced off of each other.

I love the arrangement.

I love the lyric splits
that you guys did.

You guys both have
so much control.

And, Ryley, you're only 15.
That's crazy.

You have like, a very,
like, um...

I don't even know
how to describe it.

Like a broken angel.
Yeah.

It's nice.
Like a brokenangel?

Yeah. Yeah.
Okay, well, it's an angel.

It's angelic.
It's broken angel.

I'm in therapy.
It's fine.
Yeah.

[ Laughter ]

Michael, man,
you killed that. Like...

Thanks, man. Appreciate it.
...the control you have, man.

Thank you.

If I was you,
I would pick Michael.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Ryley, you do have this,
like, broken kind of raspy

but beautiful,
airy falsetto

that is, like, insane.
Yeah.

Thank you so much.
Yeah, that's really crazy.

And you're 15. What?
You can't even drive a car!

[ Laughter ]
I failed my permit test.

You're just hanging out
the passenger side,

like, doing that.
That's crazy!

Michael, I don't know why
you weren't a four-chair turn.

Yeah.
I don't think I was there
that day.

Yeah, that's how
I feel right now.

He was drunk.
[ Laughter ]

Then and now.

That was incredible,
Michael.

Your runs
are effortless for you.

I am not gonna help Niall
at all right now.

Like, you two should be
in the finale.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Ryley, we all knew
what to expect from you.

We knew it was gonna
be incredible.

Michael, for my money,

I feel like you won
that battle,

partly because of
how comfortable you were

being on stage
and stuff.

So that's probably why
I would lean towards Michael.

Thank you.
Daly: Thank you, Coaches!

All right, Niall,
you got the final decision.

If they ask me to come back,
I'm not coming back,

'cause I cannot tell you
how hard this is.

The performance from the two
of you was just off the charts.

You sung beautifully
together.

The riffs, the control,

the authenticity,
making that song your own.

The time has come, Niall.

Who is the winner
of this battle?

[ Sighs ] God.

**

Does your head itch?
My brain is --

My brain is, "Da-da-da!"

Is it making
your head itch?

'Cause I saw you
scratching your head.

Yeah.
You're so weird.

Stop looking at me.

[ Laughter ]

The winner of this battle
is Michael.

Daly: Michael B.,
congratulations!

You're moving on
to the knockouts!

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

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

and he just brought it
to another level today.

Oh, my God.

I was the only person that
turned for him in the blinds.

He definitely would have got
a four-chair based off that.

Daly: Coaches,
I want to remind you

that Ryley is available
to steal.

Ryley, anything you want
to say to your coach?

I just want to say thank you
so much, for real,

for all of the tips you've
given me and the mentorship.

And I hope that maybe
we can stay in touch.

Yeah, we can stay in touch!
I'm giving you the playoff pass!

That is the playoff pass
from Niall Horan!

[ Laughs ]

**

Yes! Oh, my God!
He got the playoff pass!

Daly: Well, give it up
for Ryley Tate Wilson.

We'll see you
in the playoffs.

Thank you so much.

So good. So good.
So proud of you, man.

I am completely in shock.
I was not expecting that at all.

Ah!
Oh, my God.

Literally...

I cannot believe
you did that.

You scared me so bad.
Oh, dude.

I was on there,
and I was like, "Okay."

You were, like, talking.
I was like,

"I can't look
at this poor guy's face."

You were like,
"Can we keep in touch?"

I was like,
"Get the hell out of here.

Playoff pass."

We definitely have a potential
winner on Team Niall.

And his name is Ryley Tate.
Thank you so much.

Thank you so much.
You're a beauty.

Thanks very much, bud.
I'll see you out there.
Thank you so much.

I need a rest.

It's just too intense.
