Man: 30 seconds out.
30 seconds.

Okay, standing by.
[ Indistinct conversations ]

It’s time for
the coaches' performance,

"Put a Little Love
in Your Heart."

Alright, let's do it, please.

About to jam.
Okay, coaches, places, please.

Surrounded by iconic singers,
with Dan + Shay

and the queen, Reba,
and, obviously, John Legend.

All these wonderful
choir members.

Praise them!

15 seconds, 15 out.

Good to see y'all.

[ Cheers and applause ]
Oh, my goodness, Shay.

Man: Alright, everybody,
the blind auditions --

Two minutes until
our first artist.

**

Wow.
[ Laughs ]

Oh, my goodness.

All these talented,
amazing singers,

and I’m finally here.

My name is Ronnie Wilson.

I’m 28 years old,
originally from South Carolina,

but now reside
in Atlanta, Georgia.

I live kind of
like a double-sided life.

So, we have Ronnie Little,
which is my real name,

the accountant, 9 to 5,
number-crunching type of person.

And then on the flip side,
we have Ronnie Wilson.

That’s the fun entertainer,
singer, part-time comedian,

depending on who you ask.
[ Laughs ]

I believe that I bend the line

kind of on masculine
and feminine.

So I do enjoy
having makeup on my face,

making myself look pretty,

and I’m just my full,
authentic self.

Music has always been embedded
into who I am.

My mother sang. She was a
youth choir director at church.

I mean, she stuck me
on that choir,

gave me a microphone,
and haven’t looked back since.

I am very supportive
of his choice in music,

and I’m so proud of him.

He was born singing
from the -- day one.

I mean, seriously,
he came out...

[ Hums ]
...singing.

Seriously.

Ronnie: I believe that
me being on "The Voice" --

you know,
me being not just Black,

but Black and gay,
living in the South,

still very, very active
in the church today,

to see me truly embrace
all aspects of myself,

I hope that I can
inspire others

to just fully be themselves
in the best possible way.

You know, I have had that
security blanket of accounting,

so it can be scary
to take that leap of faith.

How am I going to eat?
How am I going to pay my bills?

What am I going to do
to support myself?

Man:
Okay, here we go.

Whoo!
[ Cheers and applause ]

It’s getting real.

Wow.

Ronnie: This opportunity could
change my life tremendously.

All I need is one coach
to press that button

and turn around for me.

I’m gonna just leave it all
on the stage.

**

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back to
the blind auditions.

You got this.

**

Come on, come on,
come on.

* Climb on board *

* We'll go slow
and high tempo *

* Light and dark *

He can sing.
Wow.

* Hold me hard and mellow *

* I'm seeing the pain *

* Seeing the pleasure *

* Nobody but you *

* 'Body but me, 'body but us *
Come on, John! Hit it.

* Bodies together *

* I'd love to hold you close *

[ Cheering and screaming ]
* Tonight and always *

* I'd love to wake up
next to you *

* I'd love to hold you close *

* Tonight and always *

* I'd love to wake up
next to you *

* So we'll piss off
the neighbors *
Wow.

* In the place that feels
the tears *
[ Screaming ]

* The place
to lose your fears *

* Yeah, reckless behavior *

* A place that is so pure *

* So dirty and raw *

* Be in the bed all day *

* Bed all day, bed all day *
* Bed all day *

* Loving in, fighting on *

* It's our paradise *

* And it's our war zone *

* It's our paradise *

* Yeah,
be in the bed all day *

* Day *

* It's our paradise *

* And it's our war zone *

Wow.

**

-Whoo!
-Whoa!

Man!
Yes.

Whoo!
That was unbelievable.

What is your name,
and where are you from?

My name is Ronnie Wilson.

I’m originally
from South Carolina,

but I now reside in Atlanta,
Georgia,

and I’m 28 years old.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Beautiful, beautiful voice.
You do this full time?

I don’t. So I’m actually
an accountant full time.

What?
Wow!

I know, right?
And people never expect it.

Oh, my God!
I just imagine you in there,

just, like, crunching numbers,
like * Bed all day *

* Bed all day *
Just, like, rockin'.
Exactly.

Amazing performance.
So good to have you here.

Good job, Ronnie.

I kind of wonder, like,
what are your influences?

So gospel music
is a heavy influence,

but also country music --
a lot of country music.

Wow!
That's what
I’m talking about.

I just want you
to keep your eyes over here

and not over there.
That’s all I’m saying, Ronnie.

Chance: I do just want
to throw it out there --

John used to work
with numbers.

I was a management consultant,
crunching numbers...

Yeah.
...making PowerPoint
presentations.

Yeah, a lot of those.

Yeah. [ Laughs ]

I know what it’s like
to be in that 9 to 5.

Okay. Hold on.

Nicole, would you put Keith
on the line, please?

Oh, my goodness.

Hey, Keith.
How you doing?

Yeah, we’re here
at "The Voice."

If you were on "The Voice,"
who would you want to coach you?

Me?
Nicole said her too?

Talk to you later.
Bye. Okay.

[ Laughs ]
You have a quality

in your voice that
just makes a person feel good.

And I’m thrilled to death
that you love country music.

I’ve been in the business
for going on 50 years now,

so I think I could help you
to embellish, not change,

because you’re
absolutely wonderful,

and I’d love to have you
on my team.

Aww, thank you so much.

John: What I loved
about the performance

is you created moments by
being creative with the melody.

You kind of made
the song your own

and made it a competition song
by the way you did it.

I just feel like
you got fresh taste,

great ideas musically
and stylistically.

Thank you so much.
And I would love
to be your coach.

And I feel like you’re gonna
do so well on the show.

The choice is yours.

Who would you like
to be your coach?

[ Crowd shouting ]

Come on, Ronnie.

**

Team John.

Hey!

Season 25 is looking
really good for me.

I’ve started the day with
a great addition to my team.

Welcome to Team Legend.

What I loved about
Ronnie’s performance

is he made it his own,

and he found really great
moments to vocally embellish it

in ways that highlighted
the strengths of his voice.

And I think he’s going to do
so well on the show.

My man.
Thank you.

Ronnie was cute as a button.
When he said, "I love country,"

I looked over at John like,
"Ha ha ha,

I got this one in the bag,"
and I did not.

He was good. Yeah.
He was very good.

But I feel real good
about my team.

I got three spots left. I’m
gonna kind of diversify out

and try to get different genres
on my team,

so wish me luck.

Ronnie.
Ronnie brought the heat.

My whole family’s name
is Ronnie.

Really?
My dad’s Ronald,

my older brother,

Chrissy’s dad,
and Chrissy’s older brother.

No way.
It’s all Ronnies.

[ Laughter ]
Daly: Still to come...

* Oh, oh, ohh *

* Love me,
then leave me alone *

Yeah.

Daly:
...John uses the final block.

Four chairs!

I’ve been the four-chair king
since I’ve been on "The Voice,"

and I refuse
to relinquish my crown.

Daly: And our coaches
fight it out.
I’m gonna cry.

We live in Nashville,
where they do country music.

I’ve been to Nashville.
You aren’t in country.

You don’t know anything
about country.

[ Screams ]
Did not see that coming.

Both: That one hurt.
Heartbreaking.

Daly: And later...
* More than a memory *

* More than saying "I do" *
...love wins all.

* Kiss you good nights
and "I love you"s *

Only on "The Voice," folks.

Only on "The Voice."

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back
to the blind auditions

at Universal Studios Hollywood.

I’m still trying to figure out
what to do with my block.

You know?
I’m pretty sure
you used it, though.

[ Laughs ]
Uh...

I don’t think I used my block.
I’m pretty sure,

'cause I’m the only one that
hasn’t used their block.

No.
We can check the tape.

Does it matter who blocked who?
We can check the tape.

Roll it back,
roll it back.

Chance:
Reba used a block...

John: On Dan + Shay.
Chance: ...on Dan + Shay.

Oh, my God!

John: Dan + Shay
used it on Reba.

Sorry.
Paybacks. Paybacks.

Reba:
And you used the block on me.

I just knew it was you.
It was me!

[ Laughs ]

I think we should stop
worrying about the past

and start worrying
about the future.

-Yeah.
-Yes.

I am excited for the future
use of my block.

I still have it
in the holster, ready to go.

Let’s go out there.
I’m gonna use my final block,
like I was saying.

Let’s go see these --

Reba: Oh, my God.
His final block.
He gets two.

He's sticking to that.
He is not...

That's his story,
and he’s sticking to it.

John:
Blake taught you well.

Zoe: Oh, my gosh. I can’t
believe I’m gonna sing for them.

Even just to get to talk
to them and tell them,

"We’re dancing to one of
your songs at our wedding,

by the way."

That’ll be cool.

My name is Zoe Levert.

I’m 20 years old, and I’m from
New Orleans, Louisiana.

I’m currently in college.

I’m a psychology major
with a minor in music,

and I’m super involved
in my school’s music program,

and that’s where
I met my fiancé.

His name is Ryan.

He claims that he had a crush
on me as soon as he saw me,

but I asked himout.

Kind of a flex.

I met her in a music class,
and she walked in,

and I saw her eyes.

The rest is history.

Ryan is just one of the most
selfless people I’ve ever met.

He’s so supportive
of all of my crazy, wild dreams.

I truly believe that I have
found the perfect person for me.

My dad is a pastor.
My mom is a counselor.

Their involvement in ministry
caused us to move around a lot.

So, I was born
in Odenton, Maryland,

and then we moved
to Columbus, Ohio,

and then
Destrehan, Louisiana.

Then we moved to
Raleigh, North Carolina,

and then
Denham Springs, Louisiana,

and now I live in New Orleans.

Being that young,
switching schools all the time,

it can be hard,
but I always had my music.

I’m a songwriter.

I started to really
take songwriting seriously

when Taylor Swift’s "Folklore"
album came out,

and I was just so in love

with the different
writing devices she was using.

I am a major Swiftie,
die-hard Swiftie. [ Chuckles ]

For my blind audition,
I’m singing

"Better Man (Taylor’s Version)."

Man: Our next artist
is entering now.

I could rave on
about Taylor Swift

for a very long time,
but yeah, I love her.

She’s amazing
and has great hair,

so yeah.

John’s ready.

Clear eyes, full heart.
Can’t lose.

Zoe: So many musicians
dream of this, and I'm here.

Singing a Taylor Swift song
on that stage is a dream.

I hope I do it justice.

Let's go, baby.

**

**

* I know I'm probably
better off on my own *

* Than lovin' a man
who didn't know *

* What he had
when he had it *

* And I see the permanent
damage you did to me *

* Never again, I just wish I
could forget when it was magic *

* I wish it wasn't 4:00 A.M.,
standing in the mirror *

* Saying to myself,
you know you had to do it *

* I know the bravest thing
I ever did was run *

* Sometimes,
in the middle of the night *

* I can feel you again *

* But I just miss you *

* And I just wish you were
a better man *

* And I know why
we had to say goodbye *

* Like the back of my hand *

* But I just miss you *

* And I just wish
you were a better man *
Come on, John.

* Oh, a better man *

* Ooh, we might still
be in love *

* If you were a better man *

* You would have been the one *

* If you were a better man *

Yes!
John!

[ Cheers and applause ]

Last-minute turn!

Holy crap.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Oh...my gosh.

Hello.

Hi. What’s your name?
Hi.

Where are you from?
My name is Zoe Levert.

I’m 20 years old, and
I’m from New Orleans, Louisiana.

New Orleans! That’s what
I’m talking about.

Loved the performance.
Great song choice.

"Better Man," Little Big Town,
written by Taylor Swift.

Really, really great.

I thought it sounded
like Taylor.
Yeah.

That’s Taylor Swift.

[ Laughter ]

So good to have you
on here.

I did want to tell y’all,
Dan + Shay,

I am a huge fan of y’all.

And I’m getting married
next year. My fiancé's here.

Our first-dance song
is "From the Ground Up."
No way!

Both: Ohh!

-Aww, congratulations.
-Are you serious?

Bring him up!
John: Bring him up.

Do we have a guitar here?
Yeah, we got -- Hold on.

Zoe: Come here.

Oh, I love this idea.
This is good.

It is so nice
to meet you, Ryan.

You guys are gonna have
some tall babies.

Dan: What's happening,
guys?

It's so crazy.
How you doing, man?
I’m Dan.

Ryan.
It’s crazy
because I’m 6'2",

and you guys are...
[ Laughs ]

We gotta have a moment here.
Alright, listen.

Can we sing a little bit of that
song for you guys right now?

No pressure at all, but we
actually have a pastor here,

if you guys just want
to knock it out right now.

It would be a first
on "The Voice."
John, are you ordained?

We got our vacation
Bible school teacher here.

He might be ordained.

I got so scared.
[ Laughter ]

Alright. This is gonna be
a rehearsal for your wedding.

[ Dan playing
"From the Ground Up" ]

* Grandma and Grandpa *

* Painted a picture
for 65 years *

Now I’m gonna cry.
It’s a great moment.
* And one little house *

* More than a memory *

* More than saying
"I do" *

* Kiss you
good nights *

* And "I love you"s *

* Me and you, baby *

* Will walk
in their footsteps *

* Build our own family
one day at a time *

* 10 little toes,
a painted pink room *

* Our beautiful baby
looks just like you *

* And we'll build
this looooove *

[ Chuckles ]

* From the ground up *

* Oh, somebody
make some noooooise *

* It’s okay that
you didn’t pick us *

* 'Cause we didn’t turn around,
you’re in good hands *

* With John Legend *

Somebody say "amen"!
* And everybody
better make some noise *

* Whoa-oh-oh-oh *

* Time *

Sing, Shay!

[ Vocalizing ]

Oh, my God.

That was amazing.
Hey!

I’mma tell y’all,
that man Shay can sing a song.

Hey, come on, baby.
Come on.

That was amazing.

Now, it’s abundantly
clear that

if you had a choice
to pick Dan + Shay,

you would've
picked them.

No, Team Legend
all the way.

Hey, we still got room
for a steal.

Keeping that in
the back of my mind.
John: Let me let
Reba talk to you first.

Well, Chance, you hadn’t gotten
to speak yet, have you already?

I can’t remember,
to be honest.
I can’t either.

Shay: That was hours ago.
It was a long time ago.

But I am really happy that

you’re going to end up
on John’s team,

'cause I don’t think that
there’s a better coach

for vocal improvement
and working on breath control,

because of John’s range
and experience.

So congratulations,
you’re on "The Voice."

Thank you.
Thank you.

Yes, congratulations
on your upcoming marriage.

That was so sweet
of you guys!

You’re gonna have a really
fun time on "The Voice."

Thank you.

John: Hi, Zoe.
Hi.

I’m so happy for you,

for everything that’s
happening in your life.

I’m so happy you got
to be serenaded

by these amazing artists
over here.

Only on "The Voice," folks.
Only on "The Voice."

[ Cheers and applause ]
Totally.

Your higher range
sounded so good.

The tone was so clear.

You just have to plan a song
that doesn’t require you to go

to that bottom part
of your range.

And that’s what I do
as a coach.
Yeah.

So I’m excited that
you’re on Team Legend.

Thank you so much.

Congratulations, Zoe!
John: Zoe!

Team Legend is filling up,
and it's on fire.

What a pleasure.
Nice to meet you.
Thank you so much.

Zoe had some challenges at the
beginning of her performance,

but once she kicked it into
high gear with the higher notes,

I really loved
the tone of her voice.

It was beautiful,

and I think
she’ll do a great job.

Welcome to Team Legend, Zoe.

Such a special moment,
singing "From the Ground Up"

for Zoe
and her fiancé.

There’s so many songs
for somebody to choose

for the biggest moment
in their life,

and when they choose ours,
man, it really does
make us feel good.

Thank you for the kind words,
man. Appreciate that.
Of course.
No, it was incredible.

You’re just so good.

Shay: I'll tell you what,
John is absolutely
crushing right now,

but this season,
we only have teams of 10,

so you have to be
very, very strategic

that you don’t fill up
your team too fast.

Dan: We’re looking for
country artists on our team.

That’s our wheelhouse.
Bring on the country artists.

Let’s go.
Bring it on.

Team Dan + Shay. We need
country on Team Dan + Shay.

Is that your most popular
wedding song?

One of them.

I bet you can guess
my biggest one.

Yeah. I think it was part
of my wedding, actually.

[ Laughter ]

Daly: Who would you
pick for your team?

Get the "Voice" official app now
and play along with our coaches.

**

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back to
the blind auditions.

[ Chance exhales ]

Hey.
Hey, guys.

Chance, what’s all this?

What?

Oh,
my intro music.

Intro music?
Yeah.

Every great coach
has intro music.

Hit it, guys!

[ R&B music plays ]

This guy...

**

Both: We need intro music.

What’s up? Out here
doing a little trout fishing.

'Bout to do a little hunting,
baby.

Just out here at the farm.

I’m Ducote Talmage, I’m 20,
and I’m from Auburn, Alabama.

Oh, yeah.
It’s purdy out here.

We gonna get on 'em.

Life in Auburn, it’s great.

Growing up,
it literally felt like

I was at a wildlife camp
every day.

[ Women calling greetings ]

Out here,
hanging with the fam.

I’m the youngest of five kids.
Never a dull moment.

I mean, I was always
having to beat somebody

for food or anything.

Music’s been a part
of the family ever since,

you know, we could walk.

Dad and I and all the brothers,

we called ourselves
the Little River Boys.

Our only shows were at home,

and we all just played
around a campfire.

Even though we probably
could have made it big time,

we decided to let the other
people have their glory,

so we just kept it
to the living room.

The fire truck's
all ready to go.

It’s still dark out,
but crack of dawn.

Once I graduated high school,

I decided to become
a firefighter.

Ducote's a very
genuine person.

You know, his brothers,
they were all firemen,

and they were
a big role model for us...

...to serve our community.
Yeah.

I think he has a passion
for helping people,

so I think he does that
with his music as well.

As a firefighter, it’s a wide
range of different things

that, at any moment,
you could be called to.

Of course, fires,
but you could have a car wreck

where, you know,
somebody’s trapped in a car

and you gotta get them out.

It can definitely be scary,

but, you know, that’s where
your training kicks in.

Man: Our next artist
is entering now.

Ducote: Being on stage,
it’s definitely gonna
be nerve-wracking.

Come on, Ducote.
But I think I can
use that training

to just calm the nerves
a little bit,

keep my head straight.

Ready?
Alright. I’m ready.

It’s getting real.

Ducote:
For my blind audition,

I’m singing "Sand in My Boots"
by Morgan Wallen.

Here we go.
He is so big right now.

And he came from "The Voice,"
so it definitely gives me

some hope that I could follow
in his footsteps.

**

* She asked me
where I was from *

* I said, "Somewhere
you never been to" *

* Little town outside
of Knoxville *

* Hidden by
some dogwood trees *

* She tried talkin'
with my accent *

* We held hands
and waded into *

[ Cheers and applause ]
* That blue water *

* She left her flip-flops
by my Red Wings *
Yay! Alright!

* On the beach *

-Let's go!
-Come on!

* Yeah, well,
now I'm dodging potholes *

* In my sunburnt Silverado *

* Like a heart-broke desperado *

* Headed right
back to my roots *

* Somethin' 'bout
the way she kissed me *

Yeah.
* Tells me she'd love
Eastern Tennessee *

* Yeah, but all I brought
back with me *

* Was some sand *

Come on, Reba!

* In my boots *

* I said,
"Meet me in the mornin'" *

* But she told me I was crazy *

Ah.
* But I still thought
that maybe *

* She'd show up *

* Yeah, and all that
I brought back with me *

* Was some sand in my boots *

[ Chuckling ] Oh!
* Ooh, ooh, ooh *

[ Cheers and applause ]

Come on down, baby!

-Whoo!
-Alright.

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

My name is Ducote Talmage.

I’m 20 years old,
I’m from Auburn, Alabama.

Alright!
Whoo!

I know, right next to me,
there is a country duo.

Yup, yup.
They're right there.

My guy.
That’s my guy right there.

I saw the way you were
pointing at them

after your performance.
I pointed at you, too!

Oh, that was me?
That was me too.

[ Laughter ]

What I love the most
about your voice

is that just
little scratch in it.

It’s such a cool tone.
It’s breath-y.

It’s just a lovely voice
to listen to.

I appreciate you.

And I know I can be
a great coach for you.

Even if I didn’t grow up
listening to country music,

I do know what
a great song is,

and I do know how to help you
plan a great performance.

And I’ve taken a country artist
all the way to the lives,

because she
trusted me.

Team Legend. It’s not
the traditional choice.

It’s not
the obvious choice.

It's not
the right choice.

But it’s
an excellent choice.

Do you want to get lost
in the sea of country artists

on Dan + Shay’s team?
Maybe.

Ordo you want to do something
renegade, revolutionary,

and join Team Legend?

I like that.

Shay:
That’s a solid pitch.
Mm!

That song
by a good friend of ours,

Mr. Morgan Wallen.
[ Mutters indistinctly ]

And you know, John really --
he mentioned a lot of things

that I think he thought
was helping his case,

but I don’t know
if it really did that.

I’m just
telling the truth.

Well, you're telling the truth
that, you know,

you aren’t in country, you don’t
know anything about country,
and, like, you know...

Listen,
do you perform full-time?

Yeah, so, I play as much as I
can, but I’m also a firefighter.

Let's go.
I do that, too.

Wow.
Yeah.

Do you write any
of your own stuff?

Oh, yeah,
all the time.

But I have, like,
a thousand unfinished ones.

We’ll help you finish
those songs.

You just need a great
songwriter to work with.

I do need
a great songwriter.

Yeah, or two
great songwriters

with country hits
and country Grammys.

You know,
stuff like that.

John probably has
country Grammys, too.

He probably does.
I have a CMT Award.

I got it with Carrie Underwood.
We did a song together.

I like Carrie.
Shay: That’s pretty good.

We also did a song
with Carrie Underwood,

also a good friend
of ours.

We live in Nashville, where they
do country music all the time.

I’ve been to Nashville.

Yeah, that’s awesome
that you dabble.

[ Laughter ]

Honestly, we have no one
that is like you.

You would be an absolute
standout, I promise you that.

We don’t have a firefighter
on our team, either.

We don't.
We have zero firefighters.

I mean,
that’s pretty cool.

Man, your voice sounds
like it should be on
country radio right now.

Yeah.
It was incredible.

Then you
really opened up.

You got a lot of power
to your voice, man.

Well, thank y'all.
Appreciate y'all.

Thank you so much.

Congratulations.
Welcome to "The Voice."

You’re on the show.

I couldn’t turn,
personally,

just 'cause I felt like there
were too many pitchy moments.

I think you’re
really, really funny,

so I think you should
lean on that.

Appreciate you, man.

Throughout, as much
as you can. For sure.

Thank you.

As Chance said,
the little pitchy problems --

When you go
for those notes,

make sure you’ve got enough
air in your diaphragm,

and that’ll help you
on those pitchy parts.

Awesome. I appreciate you.
I’ll breathe more.

Yep.
There you go.
Yes.

Good luck on
"The Voice."

Thank you.
Appreciate y'all.

Chance:
Alright, well, Ducote,

who do you choose
as your coach?

[ Crowd shouting ]

Shay: Unbelievable.
Unbelievable.

Come on, guys, come on.
You know where to go.

Come on, Ducote.

What do you think?
I want to say Dan + Shay.

Dan + Shay!
Come on.

[ Laughs ]

I think I’m gonna have
to go with Dan + Shay.

That's what
I'm talkin' about.
Whoo!

Come on, baby. Let's go!
Come on. We got him!

Sorry, dude.

Ducote. That’s our guy.
That's our guy.
Ducote!

Congratulations,
man.

His performance
was amazing.

That was exactly
what we were looking for,

somebody
with that country twang.

Let's go, baby!
Dan + Shay!

I’ll tell you what --
Nothing feels better

than going head to head against
John the Legend himself.

I am shocked.

Feels so good
taking down Team Legend.

In the words of DJ Khaled,
"Another one!"

But I heard you guys
supporting me,

and I appreciate you.

John: Dan + Shay’s team
is looking formidable.

I’m impressed.
They’ve done a good job.

But I will take advantage of
their youth and inexperience,

and I will beat them.

I heard a lot of
"Team Legend."
It’s pure betrayal.

I’m ashamed of you guys.

Do not bully my friends.

I’m the last coach
with a block,

so I want to use
that block to win.

So you only get one -- one block
throughout the entire...?

That's it.
You can’t block me.

That’s the only one
we get.

This is it.
Who shall I block?

[ Dan + Shay laugh ]

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly:
Welcome back to night five
of the blind auditions.

John: Dan + Shay, you guys,
brand-new coaches here,

think you’re so cool with
your fancy, new, dual chair.

I mean,
we didn’t design it.
That's...

Well,
I designed my own chair.

It’s got super fast
button technology,

vastly improved
turn functionality.

It’s gonna change
the game!

Yeah, yeah, no.

I’m pretty excited
to see this right now.

Behold, the future
of "The Voice."

[ Crickets chirp ]

W-Wow.
Really?

Honestly,
I think it’s cute.

No, I love it.
I love it.
I mean...

It looked a lot bigger
and cooler in the pictures,

and I’m not sure
what happened.

Good luck with that,
man.

I think it’s gonna
be great.
It spins.

It really does spin.
[ Button honks ]

I believe you, man.

Look, look. It spins.

It spins.

**

My name is JJ Higgins.

I am 46 years old,
originally from Tampa, Florida,

but I live in
Nashville, Tennessee, now.

I am married,
met my wife originally

when she was 12 and I was 15.

So we were first loves,
separated,

and then didn’t see
each other for 12 years,

and found each other
again later in life.

We got married,
and on our honeymoon night

is when she got pregnant.

We both had always
wanted children,

so we were excited
when we found out,

just surprised.

I believe six weeks
into the pregnancy,

we knew that there were
complications.

She ended up in the hospital
at 25 weeks,

and then they finally did
an emergency C-section.

Our son, Jayden, basically lived
in the NICU for almost a month,

and then we had
to make the decision to...

to let him go.

When we were going back
and forth from the NICU

every day,
I would go down --

I would watch the mothers
walk out with their baby,

and I just knew...

[ Voice breaking ]
...that we wouldn’t.

It was in the first year
of marriage,

so we were still newlyweds.

We tried for a little while
to have another child, and...

it was difficult, but I remember
going to work one night,

and she calls me and she says,
"I’m going to go to the doctor."

And we went and had dinner
after I got done working,

and she hands me a card,

and it says
"You’re going to be a father."

Hi.

[ Laughter ]
Jayce.

So Jayce is our miracle child.

So much life.

He’s all around

just an amazing,
creative, happy child.

JJ -- I feel like he has put
his passion for music on hold

to be the dad and husband
and the provider

that we’ve needed,

and we want this
so bad for him,

because this is what I know
he was made to do.

Man:
Ladies and gentlemen, our next
artist is entering now.

JJ: I grew up singing
in the church

since I was eight,
nine years old,

but when we lost my son,
I didn’t want to sing,

and it was through
my son Jayce

that hurt that I experienced
started to heal.

For my blind audition,
I am singing

"Return to Pooh Corner"
by Kenny Loggins.

It’s kind of our song.

Musically, it pushes me outside
of what I would normally do

and allows me to show
a more intimate side.

As I walk out on the stage,

my mind is going to be
on my son and my wife.

That’s who I’m doing this for.

**

* Christopher Robin
and I walked along *

* Under branches
lit up by the moon, yeah *

* And posing our questions
to Owl and Eeyore *

* As the days disappeared
all too soon *

* But I've wandered much
further today than I should *

* And I can’t seem to find
my way back to the wood *

* So help me if you can *

* I’ve got to get
back to the house *

* At Pooh Corner by 1:00 *

* And you'd be surprised,
there’s so much to be done *

* Count all the bees
in the hive *

* And chase all the clouds
from the sky *

* And back to the days of
Christopher Robin *

* Said ooh, ooh, ooh,
ooh, ooh, yeah *

* And ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh *

[ Cheers and applause ]

Let’s go!

It was good.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Chance: Yeah!

Hey, man.
What’s going on?

What’s your name?
Where are you from?

I am JJ Higgins, 46,
from Nashville, Tennessee.

Come on!

Hi, JJ.
How you doing?

Well, I’m terribly sorry
we didn’t turn around for you.

Best of luck to you.

Is there a reason
why you picked that song?

When my wife was pregnant
with our son,

she was on bed rest
for 30 weeks.

Oh, my.
I would come home
late at night,

and she’d be awake, and I’d go,
"Why aren’t you sleeping?"

And she'd go,
"He just won’t settle down."

And so I'd get down
on my hands and knees

and I would go,
* Christopher Robin *

Aww.
And he would go
to sleep every time.

Aww.
Wow.

And he’s 12 now.
What a miracle.

And to this day,
when he’s not feeling good,

he’ll go, "Hey, Dad,
can you sing me that song?"

-Aww!
-Aww!

Now that we’ve
heard the story,

obviously,
it means a lot.

I think just the experience
of telling my story...

-Yes!
-Yes!

...that was all I needed.
Perfect. Perfect.

Is your son here?
He is.

-Bring him out.
-Bring him out.
-Bring him out.

Come here.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Come on, man.
[ Chuckles ]

Chance:
[ Chuckling ] Oh-ho-ho!

I'm gonna cry!
Yeah.

You did great.
I love you.
I love you, man.

Shay: Oh, my goodness.
I gotta say, man,

moments like this
are bigger than this show,

and any kind of
success in music.
John: That's right.

It goes beyond
everything.

I’m gonna cry up here thinking
about my little boys.

But you should be proud
of the man that you are, man.

Amen.
JJ: Thank you so much.

John: Thank you.

Buddy, I love you, man.
[ Chuckles ]

Oh!

JJ brought a very special story
to "The Voice."

It’s a performance
we’ll never forget.

Chance:
JJ didn’t get any turns,

but it was one of the more
powerful performances.

It made me misty-eyed.

I haven’t pushed today.

I only have two slots left,

and I’m holding out for
my last couple artists.

On this show,
we have an opportunity

to find
one-in-a-million talent,

and you can tell when somebody's
just a brand-new star.

I’m just waiting
for somebody to come out

that’s supposed to be
on the radio right now.

When he brought his son out,
I was like,

"I’m about to start
crying on this show."

Once I became a parent,
I just started crying more.

[ Laughs ]

**

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back.

Alright, guys, I know we had
some issues with the last chair,

but they assure me that
it’ll be perfect this time.

We got our measurements
exactly right.

I am sure it’s going
to be great.

I’m sure it is, too.

Let’s check it out --

[ Sighs ]

I’m having
the worst day.

Oh, boy.
Shay: Oh, God.

My name is Serenity Arce.

I’ve been waiting
for this moment.

It’s my second chance
to go up on the stage and, like,

give it all I got.

I’m not going out
without a fight.

I’m really excited to show the
coaches how much I’ve improved.

I’m gonna make
this song everything

I would have ever
dreamed of last time.

I’m ready to kill it.

[ Vocalizing ]

When I was 14, I had my first
audition on "The Voice."

I was like a stick of dynamite.

I really went in there,
like, full force.

* I see red, red *

When they didn’t turn,
it was hard.

To be honest with you,
I’m glad nobody turned around,

because I feel like
you’re at the point

where you’re good enough
to have gotten onto the show,

and then probably wouldn’t
have made it that far in,

and that might have been
discouraging to you,

because all you need
is, like, a year.

I’m incredibly grateful
for Blake saying that,

because he gave me
another chance to grow

and come back even more
prepared than I was before.

She’s so close,
honestly.

It’s been two years.
I feel like I’ve grown.

* Yeah, I woke up
feeling grateful *

* Thankful, everything
that I prayed for *

I’ve been putting in the work.
I got vocal lessons.

My voice matured a lot.
It got a lot deeper.

I started songwriting.

I’m going into my junior year
of high school.

I’m driving, working,
trying to balance my music life

with my school life.

I’m extremely passionate
about dancing.

I want to be performing
as well as singing.

I’ve been doing gigs,

and I feel a lot more ready
to be in front of the coaches.

Like, I could go,
like, right now.

* Yeah, I woke up
feeling grateful *

I am singing "This City"
by Sam Fischer.

It’s about remembering where
I came from, which is a lot.

This song connects me
to Jupiter, Florida,

which is where I grew up.

That’s where
I learned how to dance,

where I learned how
to sing, perform.

Aww.
Do your best.

I will.
Like best, best.

[ Speaking
indistinctly ]

Now that
it’s my second chance

of being in front of
all these amazing coaches,

the stakes are so much higher.

It’s really nerve-wracking,
but I think I’m ready.

John: Come on.
This is the one, John.

Show me something.
You’re gonna get it.

**

* I've been seeing lonely people
in crowded rooms *

* Covering their old heartbreaks
with new tattoos *

Yes! Yes!
John and Chance.

* It's all about smoke screens
and cigarettes *

We might as well go in.
All of them!

* Looking through low lights
at silhouettes *

* But all I see is lonely people
in crowded rooms *
What?

* This city's gonna
break my heart *

* This city's gonna love me
then leave me alone *

* This city's
got me chasing stars *

* It's been a couple months
since I felt like I'm home *

She sounds great.
Congratulations.
Thank you.

* Am I getting closer
to knowing *
Whoo!

Come on.
* Where I belong? *

Yeah.

* This city's gonna
break my heart *

* She's always gonna
break your heart *

* She got a hold on me *

* She got me wrapped round
her finger *

* Oh, oh, ohh *

* Love me,
then leave me alone *

* Got me chasing stars *

* It's been a couple months
since I felt like I'm home *

* Am I getting closer to knowing
where I belong? *

* This city's gonna
break my heart *

Whoo!
Yes!

Very good.

Wow!

-Congratulations, man.
-Thank you so much.

Congratulations.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Four chairs!

Yes!

What’s your name?

I’m Serenity Arce,
I’m 16 years old,

and I’m from Jupiter, Florida.
What?

Wow.
16? My lord.

Hi, Serenity.
Hi.

You look familiar.

I was here for Season 21,
when I was 14.

Oh, my gosh.

She came back.

I’m so proud of you
for coming back here.

Thank you.
Because all of us
have had people tell us no,

and we had to come back and say,
no, we’re going to try again,

and that’s how we got
to where we are.

And I’m so proud of you
for doing that.

Thank you.

I would just say I felt
that performance

deep down in my soul.

Thank you, thank you.

That was special.
It was really special.

Whoever blocked us --
Shay: We know who it was!

We know who it was.

It’s rude,
and I think it’s mean,

but I take it
as a compliment.

Take it as a compliment,
Serenity.

You made me block
somebody for you.

But anyway,
go ahead, Chance.

Yeah, I was gonna say, don’t
try and take my pitch turn, man.

No, it’s your time.
It’s your time.

Serenity,
that was amazing.
Thank you.

There was, like,
a real dedication

to giving
a great performance.

You have this amazing use
of your head voice

and your high register,

but you also have a really
crazy smooth transition to,

like, your chest and stuff,
so, like...
Thank you.

...it makes me
really just excited

to see the range of songs
that you do.

And the people
that I work with on my team,

I try and make it as much about
what songs they want to perform,

what they want to show
to the world.

You got
four chairs turned.

Whoever you go with,
I think you’re going to win,

but if you get down
with Team Chance,

you’ll get to show
who you are.
Thank you.

That was pretty good.
It was good.

That was good.
It was from the heart, yo.

From the heart.
From the heart.
That’s great.

Serenity,
wonderful voice.

You’re beautiful.

I’m one of
the country acts here.

And the other --
Oh, y’all are blocked, so...

Rub it in, Reba.

Did I say that
too harshly?

[ Laughter ]

But being
a country act,

I’ve been in the business
a long, long time,

and I feel like
I could steer you in a way

to enhance the qualities
that you already have.

And I would be thrilled to
pieces to have you on Team Reba.

Thank you.

John: Let’s talk about your
performance a little bit.

Your voice is so powerful and,
like, crisp and sounds like

it could be on the radio
immediately because it has,

like, that ability
to cut through the music.

And it’s also really
distinct and cool,

and doesn’t sound
like anybody else.
Thank you.

You’re going to do
so well,

and I would love
to be your coach.

Wow.

John is covering up
for the fact

that he didn’t turn around
for you two years ago.

If I was there two years ago,
I would have turned.
Oh, my God.

Serenity, who do you
pick as your coach?

[ Crowd shouting ]

Legend! Legend!
Legend! Legend!

[ Laughs ]

**

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back to
the blind auditions.

[ Crowd shouting ]

[ Laughs ]

I have these
amazing jackets for you.
Oh, now he's bribing.

Look at this.
Look at this jacket.

Don’t you want
a Team Legend jacket?

[ Laughs ]

Don't do it.

I think I’m gonna
have to go Chance.

[ Screams ]

Did not
see that coming.
Wow!

Chance: I’m feeling crazy
right now. I’m so excited.

I’ve been waiting and waiting
for the right talent

for Team Chance.

You’re amazing.
What I love about Serenity

is how developed
her voice already is.

Whatever I throw at her,

she’ll be more than
prepared for.

Yo, I’m so glad
you picked me!

We’re about to win the whole
thing! Look at this!

John blocked Dan + Shay.
That was futile.

At the end of the day, you know
who the winner's coming with.

She was great.
What a voice, dude.

Phew.
Both: That one hurt.

Yeah.
Heartbreaking!

I feel like John, he got
what was coming to him,

'cause he tried to block
Dan + Shay.

When you go
against us, man...

you lose to Chance.

That’s right.

I’mma make sure
you shine, yo.

Thank you.
Thank you.

Big mistake, big mistake,
big mistake.

John: I wasted my block.
I should have blocked Chance.

Serenity,
the one that got away.

I really wanted Serenity
on my team.

Yeah. Nice job.
You did it. You did it.
You did it.

You were so great.
Thank you.

This is my second chance,

and I chose Team Chance,
and I’m so excited.

Yeah, she was fire.

Having a coach that
will find who I want to be

and where I’m going to go,
I could go really far with him.

Well done, Chance.
Well done.

John:
My day started great,

but I feel like my hot streak
is being threatened right now.

And, yeah, I’m worried.

[ Laughter ]

I’ve been
the four-chair king

since I’ve been
on "The Voice,"

and I refuse to
relinquish my crown.

I feel like I’m right back
in the saddle.

Like, I’m low-key killing it.

Reba: One more to get?
One more.

Uno más.
Okay.

Man:
Uno, dos, tres,hit it!

Woman: Whoo!

**

Emma: I come from
a family of five kids.

We all love the ocean,
we all love to play music,

and we all love to be together.

I’m Emma Valentine,

I am 20 years old,
from Santa Cruz, California.

My dad taught me how to surf.

My first time on a board,
I was three,

and I held on to his neck,
and he rode the wave.

Surfing with my family is one
of the greatest joys of my life.

Last summer,
we lived on a little island

100 miles off the coast
of Indonesia

for, like, three weeks,

surfing the most beautiful
waves.

I got to play music
with the locals,

and that was
such a cool experience

of music surpassing language
and connecting with people.

* If you know a secret*

* Don’t tell it
and share a laugh*

Emma: I started to fall in love
with music around age 12,

when I was a part
of my family band.

Me, all my siblings,
my cousins.

12 of us would go
downtown Santa Cruz,

street performing together.

It was chaos,
but so much fun.

Coming from
a small surf town,

there’s not
very many opportunities

to get your nerves up
and sing on big stages.

Man: Our next artist
is entering now.

Emma: This is the next step
for me as an artist,

to challenge myself to do things

that are outside
of my comfort zone.

The stakes are definitely high
in this moment.

I’m going to give it
everything I got,

and I hope
I make my family proud.

**

* She ain’t got no money *

* Clothes are kinda funny *

* Her hair is kind of
wild and free *

* Oh, but love grows *

* Where my Rosemary goes *

* And nobody knows like me *

* There's something about
her hand holding mine *

* It's a feeling that's fine *

* And I just gotta say, hey *

* Love grows *

* Where Rosemary goes *

* And nobody knows *

* Like me *

[ Cheers and applause ]

What’s your name
and where are you from?

My name is Emma Valentine.

I’m 20 years old, and I’m from
Santa Cruz, California.

Well, Emma,
welcome to "The Voice."

So sorry we didn’t turn
around for you.
No worries.

You do have
a very beautiful voice.

Thank you.
Your range is great.

I’m just looking for a certain
type to fill my team,

but I hope you come back
and join us again.

Awesome. Thank you.
Thank you very much.

Hi, Emma.
Hello.

I love your hair,
by the way.

Beautiful curls.
Thank you.

Your vibrato was incredible.
It was breathtaking.

With a song that’s
that stripped back,

it’s tough.

Everything is exposed.

And, to me, it just exposed
a little bit of pitch issues,

and that might've been a nerves
thing, but keep singing.

Thank you.
Thank you, Emma.

Yeah.

**

Dan:
Emma was awesome.

Really cool, super sweet,
great spirit.

I just think that she needs
a little bit more experience

under her belt,
but she does have potential.

Her hair is awesome.

Yeah.
Great hair.

Somebody's missing
their long curls.

Is that what’s happening?
Dan: That's what's happening.

Dan's like --
It'll come back, I think.

I would say Emma has
the best hair

that we’ve seen
on the show so far.

I could tell that Dan was
lamenting the loss of his hair

after seeing hers,

because he has beautiful,
curly locks, as well.

Her hair looked way better
than mine ever did,

so maybe it’s a good thing
that I cut my hair.

We'll see
what happens.

You'll be like Blake, bring
a wig of your old hair back?

For sure.

Reba: There’s a lot of
talented people,

but you really got
to cherry pick.

I’m looking for an R&B singer,
something very special.

It’s a gamble.
You gotta wait

for that one voice
that touches your heart.

**

I’m Ryan Coleman, I’m 25,

and I’m from
Chalfont, Pennsylvania.

From a young age,

I always knew farming
would be a part of my life,

because it’s
something I love to do.

I was four years old or so
when I was milking my first cow.

Farming is not work
for the faint of heart.

It really teaches you hard work.

It’s not for everybody,
but it’s definitely for me.

But music, I’ve always wanted
to do it for a living

since I was a kid.

So, when I was
a senior in college,

I was really focusing on music.

I was trying to play as much
as I could, whether it was,

you know, school gigs,
fraternity fundraisers.

Everything was going
just as planned

until, uh, one day,
everything changed.

I was kind of out
in the middle of nowhere.

I had a large pickup truck
at the time.

The truck kind of drifted away
from me. I hit a berm.

The truck actually ended up
rolling six times,

and I went through
the windshield.

I had a severe concussion.
I slipped a disc in my back.

I was laying in the snow.
I was bleeding a lot.

I couldn’t move much.

You know, my concussion
lasted several weeks.

I was in a bed
for a few months.

Man, does it change
your perspective on things.

I was a 22-year-old kid
who thought I had

the rest of my life
to look forward to,

and, one day,
you just never know.

It’s been a huge motivator.

You know, I want to do
what I want to,

I want to achieve
what I want to,

because tomorrow
is never a given.

That’s why I’m here, you know?

Reba,
the GOAT.
Queen of Country.

We’ve been big fans
for a long time.

Ryan: She would be
one of the top picks for me

if I got
a chair turn.

That would be
an awesome opportunity.

I think so, too.

We couldn’t be
prouder and more excited

for how far he’s come and
for this event and beyond.

I couldn’t be more thrilled
that he’s living his best life

and moving forward
with his dreams.

Man: Our next artist
is entering now.

Ooh!
Let's go.

Here we go.

We need something.

Ryan: These coaches,
they are legends.

You know, home on the farm,

it’s just baling hay
and driving tractors around.

So this is the opportunity
of a lifetime.

I’m taking advantage of it.

* This is “The Voice” *

Daly: Welcome back to night five
of the blind auditions.

**

* Ain't no sunshine
when she's gone *

Love that song.

* It’s not warm
when she’s away *

* Ain't no sunshine
when she's gone *

* And she’s always
gone too long *

* Anytime she goes away *

Pretty good pitch.

* I wonder this time
where she’s gone *

Like his tone.
Yeah.

* Wonder if she’s gone
to stay *

* Ain't no sunshine
when she’s gone *

* This house
just ain’t no home *

* Anytime she goes away *

* And I know, I know,
I know, I know *

* I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know *

* I know, I know,
I know, I know *
I don't know.

* I ought to leave
this young thing alone *

* Ain’t no sunshine
when she’s gone *

Whatcha think?

* And only darkness
every day *

Might be a good one.

* Ain’t no sunshine

* This house

Want to do it?
* Anytime she goes away *

[ Cheers and applause ]

* Anytime that
she goes away *
Get it!

Whoo!

[ Cheers and applause ]

Yes, sir!
Come on! Come on!

Good job, Ryan!

Reba: Hi there.
Well, what’s your name?

And where are you from?
My name is Ryan Coleman.

I’m 25, and I’m from
Chalfont, Pennsylvania.

Yeah.
Pennsylvania represent.

Wonderful.
What I'm talking about.

That’s one of my most
favorite songs

in the world.
Great job on it.

Thank you so much.
I’m so sorry
I didn’t turn around,

but I’m sure glad
Dan + Shay did.
That’s okay, Reba.

That’s alright.
It helped us out.

It really did.
I loved your tone.

It was different, the way
you sang this song.

And I just totally enjoyed it.
So good luck.

Thank you so much.
I really appreciate
that, Reba. Thank you.

How you doing, Ryan?
I’m doing really good, John.

How are you doing?
I’m doing great.

What’s your
musical background?

It sounded like you put a little
country twang on Bill Withers.

Do you sing country,
as well?

I do sing
primarily country,

but I kind of like
to cater my voice

to a little bit of
everything.

You have a lot of, like,
energy in your voice.

It felt, like,
very electric.

And that’s what I loved
about your performance.

Thank you so much.
That means a lot. Thank you.
Uh-huh. Mm-hmm.

Hey. Yeah.
Congratulations, Ryan.

It’s awesome to have you
on the show.

I didn’t turn because
there were a few pitch issues

that I noticed.

I think I’m also not used to
hearing that song in that frame,

kind of like country rock
a little bit.

Welcome to "The Voice,"
man.

I'm so excited. Thank you,
Chance. Thank you.

Ryan!
How you doing, man?

I’m doing great.
How are you guys?

Well, we’re doing
a little bit better now.

Congratulations.
Welcome to Team Dan + Shay.
Thank you so much.

Dan: Yeah.
Did amazing.
How about it?

Come on.
Man, I --

Thank you guys.
I absolutely
loved your tone.

Your voice
has an identity.

And that’s what we’ve been
listening for all day.

Clearly, you know,
you’re easy on the eyes.

The ladies clearly loved it.
Right? Yeah?

John: Hey, hey! Hey!

This is "The Voice,"
Shay.

Well, you know what?
It's fine.
* This is "The Face" *

* This is "The Face" *

So, man, I’m so excited to -- to
get to work with you, brother.

Thank you so much.

It’s good to have a
Pennsylvania boy on the team.
Let's go.

That’s what
I’m talking about.
Shay: That’s right.

Loved the performance,
man.

I know this is a tough scenario
to sing in. It’s very loud.

I don’t think you guys
have in-ear monitors in.

I don’t think they did, either,
because they didn’t turn.

They clearly couldn’t hear
what we did.
Yeah. We -- I’m sorry.

We unplugged their monitors
back here so only we could hear.

So much strategy around here.
But, man, that whole
performance,

I was just sitting back there
thinking about all the different

songs that you could sing
to showcase that voice.

And I was hearing a lot
of country in that, too.

I can’t wait to find out
more about who you are

and just bring out
a little bit more

of that identity of your voice.
It’s just phenomenal.

I can’t believe you guys
let us get this one.
Thank you so much.

I really appreciate it.
It’s good.
Come on. It's good.

Thank you guys.

Man, I am very,
very excited about Ryan.

I’m excited about what
we can really bring out in him.

I feel like he has a lot
that was left on the table.

I want to find out
what makes Ryan tick.

So nice to meet you.
Yeah.

This wonderful jersey
for you here.

Dan: We got two
amazing singers so far.

Today, we are
on a roll.

Only two spots left on
Team Dan + Shay.

Shay: We’re looking
forward to filling out
the rest of our team.

We want Team Dan + Shay
to be as diverse as possible.

Right now, we’re looking for
something very unique,

very special,
something very distinct.

When we hear it,
we’re gonna know.

Let’s go!
Thank you.

It’s a pleasure
to meet you.
Thank you so much.

Reba:
I didn’t turn for Ryan

because it’s just not
what I need for my team.

I have picked great artists,

and I feel really good
about Team Reba.

* My V is for vendetta *

* I thought that
I'd feel better *

* But now I got a bellyache *

* Oh *

* Maybe it's in
the gutter *
Reba!

* Where I left my lover *

* What an expensive fake *

Yeah! Alright!

[ Cheers and applause ]

I almost cried.
[ Laughs ]

I heard a lot of, like,
Florence & The Machine
meets Lana Del Rey

in your voice.
Incredible.

You’re in good hands with
Queen Reba over here.

Thank you.
Reba:
I loved your voice.

Welcome to my team.
Whoo!

In addition to
getting to be on my team,

we’re going to go back there
and get you some chicken tenders

here in a minute from
the Reba chicken cart.

Reba: Zeya’s voice was unlike
anything I have on my team.

Welcome to "The Voice."

I had a slow start, but I’m
back, and I’m here to win it.

Daly: Still to come...

* Oh, you *

Daly: ...our coaches pull out
all the stops

to get the artists they want.

I’m standing up so you know
that I'm serious.

Dan: We would love
to have you on Team --

Oh! What?!

What?!

Gotta get down
with Team Chance.

[ Laughter ]

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back to
the blind auditions.

Who do you think is going
to fill up their team first?

Who’s going to be the first
to have a full team?
Oh, Chance.

You. You've got
a good chance.
Me?!

There's a good chance
that you fill up today.

Last season, Reba was the
first one to fill up her team.

So I’m usually one of
the last ones.

I still need, like,
a contemporary R&B.

I love R&B. The first
song that you heard me
sing was an R&B song,

I think.
It was "O" by Omarion.

* Oh *

* "O" is for that overtime
I'm puttin' in *

* Do believe me when I tell
you, I'm not tryna tell you
what to do *

* We'll go for hours *
I don’t remember the words.
It was 100 years ago.

But...
John: Ahh!

Let's go.
Should we go do it?

Should we go -- Yeah.
Oh!

Jinx!
You owe me a Coke.

"Did we just become
best friends?" "Yep."

AJ: I come from many
different tribes --

the Ponca tribe of Oklahoma,

Pawnee tribe,
the Northern Hidatsas.

My great-grandmother was
one of their last full-bloods.

So being raised to know
where I come from

still sticks with me today.

My name is AJ Harvey.
I’m 25 years old.

I’m originally
from Wichita, Kansas,

but now I’m living
in Norman, Oklahoma.

I grew up
in what we call our circle.

We put a drum in the middle.

Everything that we’ve done,
from the way we live,

the way we eat,
it’s always in a circle.

I always gravitated
to that drum.

I wanted to be in the band
as a young kid.

My dad, he was a bluegrass
fiddle player for a long time,

and that’s what really
sparked the interest.

I think I can also relate
to why I’m drawn

to American Delta blues music.

Elvis Presley
and Muddy Waters and B.B. King,

Ray Charles,
those original guys

that were down
in the Mississippi Delta.

They weren’t singing
off a paper.

They were singing
what they felt.

And that’s how it is
when we’re around that arena.

It’s what you feel.

And eventually, it was time
to leave home.

It was hard, but I was ready
to be a part of a music scene

in Norman, Oklahoma.

So I was lucky enough
to land a residency gig

with a band called Biscuits
and Groovy. [ Laughs ]

That’s been my residency home
on a Thursday night.

It’s a small bar
called The Deli.

You blossom onstage.

He blossoms.

He puts his heart and soul into
it, and you can really tell.

Absolutely.
You see

every hour that
he has practiced,

every string
he has ever broken.

AJ:
For the blind auditions,

I’m singing Bob Dylan’s
"Girl from the North Country."

It’s a very meaningful
song to me.

I’m a great admirer
of Bob Dylan.

This is just a guy
and his guitar,

singing what’s going
through his head,

what’s going through his heart
at that time.

And that’s what I want to do
in front of these coaches.

Man: Our next artist...
is entering now.

Alright. I think at this point,
we can just go for...

Go for the gold. Yeah.
Yeah. Go for gold.

Just follow your heart,
but don’t be overzealous.

If someone comes out
singing "O" by Omarion,

I’ll take it as a sign.
It’s a sign.

It's a sign.

AJ: This moment's
very big for me.

I know I’m not going up
on that stage by myself.

I’m thinking about everyone else
that’s inspired me to be here.

This is where I need to be.

**

* If you’re travelin'
in the North Country fair *

Mm.

* Where the winds hit heavy
on the borderline *

Great tone.

* Remember me to
the one who lives there *

[ Cheers and applause ]

* For she once was
a true love of mine *

Hey! Two!

[ Cheers and applause ]

* See for me if her hair
hangs long *

Yes.
Yes.

* And it falls and falls
all down her breast *

[ Rhythmic clapping ]

* See for me if her hair's
hanging down *

* For that’s the way
I remember her best *

Yeah.

* So if you're travelin'
in the North Country fair *

Whoo!

* Where the winds hit heavy
on the borderline *

[ Whistles ]

* Remember me to
the one who lives there *

* For she once was
a true love of mine *

* Yeah, she once was
a true love of mine *

Yeah!

Congratulations.

Let's go!

[ Cheers and applause ]

What’s happening,
dude?

Hello. Hello.

What’s your name?
Where are you from?

My name is AJ Harvey.
I’m 25 years old.

And I’m from
Norman, Oklahoma.

Hey! Whoo!

Sooner country.

Great job.
Love your voice.
Thank you.

I know that song.

And there were a few words that
I couldn’t understand from you,

but other than that,
it was absolutely wonderful.
Yeah.

I hope you have a wonderful
time on "The Voice."

Thank you so much, Reba.
Thank you.
Congratulations.

You have a lovely,
lovely voice.

I especially
loved your baritone.

The expressiveness
that you have down there,

sometimes it’s really hard
to sing low,

and I thought you did
a really good job with it.

Thank you.
The only reason
I didn’t turn,

I just didn’t completely
connect with the song.

But that’s just
a personal thing.

Thank you so much.

That was truly such
a great performance, man.

Thank you.
Amazing. I love the
richness of the bass notes.

Love that you were
playing guitar.

I feel like you got
what it takes to do really,

really well on this show.
Shay: The whole song,

the entire time, you were in
it, and I was in it with you,

and it was just
absolutely phenomenal.

I loved the song selection.
That felt very you.

And just being able to develop
you into an artist

that you want to be,
I feel like Dan and I

could really figure out
kind of what your thing is,

you know, what your
specific sound is.

You’re an artist, and I just --
I believe in you a lot, man.

I feel like you got
so much potential.

You’re phenomenal.
Welcome to "The Voice."

You’re here.
Thank you so much, y’all.

Thank you.

I know music.

I know soul
when I see it.

And that’s what I feel like
I related to in the performance.

I’m 100% a fan.

If you didn’t peep, I was
the first person to turn around.

Our button was stuck.

Ours,
it’s a slower chair.

It’s bigger.
Yeah.

Hesitation, I get it.

I’m standing up so you know
that I’m serious.

We would love to have you
on Team Dan + Shay.

[ Alarm sounding,
cheers and applause ]

Oh!
Oh! What?!

What?!
Come on!

Chance: You only have one choice
that you can make.

This is my show, man.

And I -- And I
want you to know,

if you want a time
to be yourself and come out here

and have the show to yourself,

gotta get down
with Team Chance, man.

Oh, okay.

Okay.
Alright.
It’s up to you, man.

You know, make
the right decision, I guess,

is all I would say.
Alright.

Yeah? Yeah?

* Welcome to the revelation *

Oh, Lord.

Chance! Chance! Chance!
Chance!

Chance? Alright.
Watch, he doesn't even
go with our pick.

Come on.

We’re gonna go Dan + Shay.

Come on! Let's go!
Let's go!
Let's go, baby!
Come on!

Chance,
I love you, too, man.

Thank you.
It’s okay.
I’ll steal you later.

Oh! A jersey!
Thank you so much.
Welcome to "The Voice," man.

AJ! Come on, baby.
Let’s go. Dude, we got
one on that one.

That was a big win
for Team Dan + Shay.

That’s our third addition
to our team today.

We're on fire right now.
He kind of had the vibe.

You know what I mean?
Like, great voice.

And he knows who he wants
to be as an artist.

We already knew you were
going to choose us, so we --

Yeah. So you had it sized up,
I get it, you know?

Yep.
It's perfect.
It’s pretty cool.

The tone of his voice
was absolutely phenomenal.

His control was amazing.
So I think he’s a star.
Yep.

I like the all Chance
everywhere.
Right?

That was good.
Chance: I tried my hardest.

You know what I mean?
Switch up the background.

You know, get some
L.E.D. work going.

I feel like you were
moving the needle.

It was getting close.
Yeah.

And it didn’t work, you know,
but I think he’ll prosper

in the space with Dan + Shay
starting off.

You know? They’ll put him
in the right position for me

to come scoop him up
later.

Whoo!

Yes, sir!
That feels good.
Come on!

You did it, bro.
Congratulations.
Thank you. We’re there.

We’re there.
I thought you might go
with Chance for a second.

I know,
I thought about it.

AJ:
I went with Dan + Shay.

They’re definitely musically on
the same page that I think I am.

And I’ve never seen myself
as a country artist, rock, pop.

I’ve always just seen myself
as a songwriter, as an artist.

And they --
I think they saw that.

Nice work, fellas,
nice work.

Thank you guys
for your help.
Yes.

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back.

Shay: Let’s go!

Reba: Y’all are having
way too much fun.

Y’all need to settle down.
Don’t peak too fast.
No fun.

Y’all still lack two,
don’t you?

I think we have one.
I think that’s nine.

Okay.
I sit corrected.

Everybody’s filling up
their team.

I’ve got two left,
and we still have one more day

for the blind auditions,

but the other coaches
only have one slot left,

so I’m a little anxious 'cause
the competition is really stiff.

I’m Moelle.
I’m 29 years old.

And I’m originally
from New Orleans,

but I currently live
in Los Angeles.

I spend a lot
of my time kickboxing.

It’s helped me
fight my way through.

You can’t knock me down.
I’m never going to take a "no."

We’re gonna win this thing.

I grew up singing and dancing.

Ever since I was little,
I couldn’t sit down

because I would be up, moving
and singing and dancing,

and I’m still like that.

When she was like
10 years old,

she came in and said, "I want
to call a family meeting."

And we was like, "We don’t
even know what that is."

And she --
she sat us all down.

And she wanted to be
in this dance competition.

It’s always been in me.

I don’t know where it came from,
I truly don’t.

After high school,
I started

traveling and singing
background vocals,

but I was ready
to be the front man,

so I decided to move to L.A.

Welcome to my beautiful
home studio in my room.

I have L.A. and palm trees,
so can’t beat it.

Now I have a residency in
Hollywood at this supper club.

Like, I truly feel
like I’m living a dream

every single time
I do that.

Yep. Awesome.

How can you not have fun?

Now "The Voice"
is that next step.

This opportunity would really
just take my career

to the next level.

You’ve done so much work
for your entire life.

[ Chuckles ]

We as parents
are so proud of you,

and we know
you’re going to kill it.

Thank you.
And we love
you so much.

I love you, too.
Thank you so much.

I’m nervous. I’m excited.

This is so incredible, to be
able to get the opportunity

to sing on this stage

in front of these amazing,
incredible musicians.

I hope they turn around.
Please, please, please.

**

**

* That Arizona sky *

* Burning in your eyes *

* You look at me and, babe,
I wanna catch on fire *

* It's buried in my soul *

* Like California gold *

* You found the light in me *

* That I couldn't find *

* When I’m all choked up
and I can't find the words *

* Every time you say goodbye,
baby, it hurts *

* When the sun goes down *

* And the band won't play *

* I'll always remember us *

* This way *

* Ooh *

* I'll always remember us *

Come on, come on,
come on.

Come on, come on,
come on.

* This way *

* Ooh *

[ Cheers and applause ]

Hi. What’s your name?
Where are you from?
Hello.

I’m Moelle. I’m from
New Orleans, Louisiana.

New Orleans.
New Orleans.
Hi!

Moelle.
Sorry we don’t have
better news for you today,

but I think you have
an incredible voice.

So much power,
so much technique.

I was just hearing some
pitch issues throughout.

And some of that may be nerves.
Do you perform live often?

I do,
but this is different.
Yeah.

It’s different.
John: Yeah. It is.

This is very different.

I know that coming out
on a show like this

is kind of crazy.

To me, the song selection,
it didn’t necessarily move me,

and we’re waiting for something
to really hit us in the heart.

But overall, I thought it was
a really good performance,

and you’re clearly
an amazing singer. Great job.

Thank you.
Thank you so much.

You’ve got a great voice.
Starting off a song so low,

that would be hard for anybody.
But I loved your performance.

I wish we could have
turned around and watched you.

Please come back.
We’d love to see you again.

Thank you.
Thank you.

John: One of the things
I would suggest you watch

is when the vibrato is so wavy,
sometimes it kind of, like,

pulls you off the desired note
you were trying to hit.

You have a great voice.
You have great range.

It’s just a matter of putting it
all together and convincing us

that we should push that button,
and you’re so close to that,

I think.
You do have
an awesome voice.

I think all the pitch issues
that I heard

were towards the beginning
in, like, your lower register,

but, like, when you started
belting notes at the end

and did the run at the end,
I was kicking myself.

I felt like
I should have pushed.

I look forward to hearing
whatever you put out.

Continued success
on your journey.

Thank you so much.
Nice to meet you.

Good job, Moelle.
Thank you so much, Moelle.

[ Cheers and applause ]

It is so hard to see
such talented people

have to leave "The Voice."

My team’s almost full.

I’m waiting for that big thing
to explode

and say, "Yeah, now turn."

Chance: Anybody wanna change up
what they’re betting on,

who’s going to fill
their team up first?

Oh, wow.
That’s a good question now.
I think John.

I -- I honestly
could see it.
I’m still going to be picky.

We need something. We're trying
to find the balance.

Filling up.
Filling up.

Filling it right up.

Elyscia: Right now,
gigging pays the bills.

But I love, love,
love to write jingles.

Since I’m on "The Voice," I did
kind of write a little jingle.

I don’t know if you guys
want to hear it, but...

Really?

* T-H-E V-O-I-C-E *

* "The Voice" *

My name is Elyscia Jefferson.
I am 20 years old.

I am from Baltimore, Maryland,
and I’m on "The Voice."

My life right now is literally
just all music.

Heading to a gig.

Gonna be an awesome wedding,

about to sing to
an awesome new couple.

And, yeah, me and him,

we have a solo
Taylor Swift song

we do, so...
Elliot: Him?

Huh?
"Me and him"?

Oh, me and my dad.

I’m blessed to be singing
in a family band with my dad

and four of my uncles.

The name is SoundConnection,

and we do a lot
of corporate events, weddings.

We get to travel the world
together and perform.

I’m super, super proud
of you.

Thank you, Dad.
Like, I want you to go out
there, just do your thing.

There’s definitely
pros and cons when your dad

is in a band with you.

He's still Dad.

You know how that goes.

You want to warm up
a little bit?

[ Vocalizing ]

The most important thing
I’ve learned from my dad

is to always
stay determined.

Always, you know,
stay focused on your dream.

And I’ve just learned
to always be that person

that just goes for it.

It’s really amazing
because I’ve seen her grow,

seeing her from a child
singing in the car,

you know, like,
hearing harmony,

but now seeing her perform
and people just,

you know, going crazy
when she takes the mic.

I feel like everything is
on the line for me right now.

Man: Our next artist
is entering now.

Bring them on.

I would love, love, love

to work with John Legend
as a coach.

I mean,
he is absolutely legendary.

I say this all the time.

But it would be amazing to work
with a coach like Reba.

She is a big, big,
big inspiration in the industry.

And it would be super nice
to work with a female for once.

I mean, being in my band
with all my uncles

and family members,
listen, it gets a little tiring.

I need a little female
in my corner.

We’ll let you
have this next one.

John: Oh.
Yeah, we can
let you have it.

You guys are so generous.
Just trying
to win you over.

Elyscia: Everything I want
to accomplish in my career,

everything that
I want to succeed in,

this is the moment.

* This is "The Voice" *

Daly: Welcome back to
the blind auditions.

**

* Where did you come from,
baby? *

Oh, my God.

* Ooh, won’t you take me
there right away? *

* Won’t you, baby? *

* Tenderoni *
Yeah.

* You’ve got to be *
Whoa!

* Spark my nature,
sugar fly with me *
Let's go!

[ Cheers and applause ]

* Don’t you know now

[ Cheers and applause ]

Wow!

Way to go!
What a voice!

Chance: Insane.
What a voice.

Amazing!

Alright, hold on.

What’s your name?
Where are you from?

How old are you?
Like, what’s going on?

My name is Elyscia.
I am 20 years old.

And I’m from
Baltimore, Maryland.

Chance: Wow!

I really like your tone.

That was a crazy arrangement
of "PYT,"

and I want to be there
to support you

in picking the songs
and just showing America

and the rest of the world
who you are.

You can really only do that
on Team Chance.

That’s the point
that I was going to make.

I thought it was
an amazing performance.

Thank you.
Thank you so, so much.

I agree 100%.

The way you perform on
the stage, you’re very at ease.

You’re comfortable.

I would love to work
with you so much because...

Oh, my God.
...there’s so many things

that I can help you with,

all the many, many years
I’ve been in the business.

Oh, my God.
You inspire me.

You’re young
and incredibly talented.

And I would love
to work with you.

I think you’re wonderful.
Oh, my God.

What I loved about you
was that laid-back vibe.

It kind of reminded me
of Brandy, in a way,

because Brandy has that way
of just sounding like

it’s effortless for her.

I thought your choices
were very tasteful.

I was ready to turn
after a while,

but then I was like,
"I’m too late."

I regret it, I’m sad.
Aww.

[ Both laugh ]
Your voice is flawless.

And I agree with
your sentiments.

It’s effortless. I can tell
that you love what you do.

And I’m such a fan.
That was incredible.

Yeah, you’ve obviously --
your talent

is just
absolutely insane.
Oh, my God.

Your incorporation of vibrato,
towards the end,

I was just like,
"Yeah, she’s got it.

You got what it takes.
Everybody here was having fun.

The crowd was having fun.
That’s contagious.

Thank you.
Thank you so much.

I mean, imagine choosing
just one person, you know?

You could get two
for the price of one.

For the price of one.

Who do you pick
as your coach?

[ Crowd shouting ]

Dan + Shay!

Right here.

[ Shouting continues ]

Who do you think she'll pick?
Chance. Chance. Chance.
Chance. Chance.

Okay, this is really hard
because I love all of you guys.

But I’m gonna go Team...

Reba.

[ Cheers and applause ]

John: Queen Reba!

Always happens!

It always happens!
Oh!

Oh, my God!
Thrilled to pieces.

Thank you,
thank you, thank you!

Thank you!

I’m thrilled to death
to get Elyscia on my team.

She had the vocal talent.

She had the stage presence.
She has great range.

She’s R&B. Just everything
I was looking for.

What a talent.
Thank you!

We’ll have fun. We’ll take
good care of her. Okay?

Thank you.
We’ll have a blast.

I thought she was going
to go to Chance.
I did, too.

But the way she reacted
when Reba said something to her,

it was like --
No, I knew she --
She was like, "I'm a fan."

She got a little giddy.

She got giddy
when she said something.
Yeah.

Anytime Reba beats you,
you’re kind of just like,

"I understand.
I see what happened here."

And she’s the queen.

Yay! Whoo-hoo!

Oh, yeah!
That was a good one.

I have amazing team members.

I’m really looking forward
to filling the last slot.

John: Alright.
Shay: Absolutely
killing it.

She’s kicking.
I’m a-kicking.

Y’all make some noise
for Reba one time.

Oh, thank you so much!

Thank you, thank you,
thank you.

It’s a horse race,
so let the games begin.

[ Laughs ]
