...with incredible
performances...

♪ There are

♪ Stars in the southern sky

...thanks to amazing
coaching from...

Team DieLake.
Two of us? No?

DieLake. I like it.
Team DieLake.

...chart‐topping
country singer/songwriter...

Sometimes you have magic.
Yes, you do.

...award‐winning country
superstar...

Oh, my God.
Come in!

...Emmy and Tony award‐winning
actress and singer... Oh, my God!



Only legendary behavior
allowed. Legendary behavior!

...and pop sensation
and hit‐maker...

And you're singing her song.
I don't know what to say.

I love the hunger.
I love that you're giving face.

When I like it,
I throw my shoe.

The battles start right now.

Have y'all seen John?

I haven't.
I haven't, either.

What the hell's this?
Hey.

What?!
Just getting ready
for battle.

Oh, my gosh.
Are you guys ready
for battle?

'Cause I'm ready!
That's one of
your authentic ‐‐

Yes.
Oh, wow.
Look at that.

Where's your boxing robes?



You look more like a‐a priest
or something in that,

or, like,
more of a

Team Legend is ready,

and I will minister to you
as well.
Yes!

This is your first time
doing battles,

so you got to use
your save wisely.

Mm‐hmm.
You got to use
your steal wisely.

Yeah.
It really is hard,
honestly.

Because especially
people are very talented.

Season 14, I was a wreck.
I was crying about it at night.

I love them.
Well, get ready to cry.

I'm ready to see
you guys cry.
Alright, let's go.

Whoo!
Yeah!

Battling now
from Team Ariana...

Love you guys!
Have fun! ...Bella DeNapoli...

That's my girl! Whoo!
...versus Katie Rae! Okay!

Whoo!

My adviser is the one and only
Kristin Chenoweth.

I missed you.

Oh, my God.
I'm so happy to see you.

Thank you so much
for doing this.

You've no idea
what it means to me.

I have grown up worshipping

and studying Kristin.

She has originated some of the
most iconic roles of all time,

and I've been so blessed
to learn from her,

from watching her,
from later on in my life,

being able to work with her.

I still call you
"baby girl,"

but I am your musical mama,
and you know that.
Oh, my God!

So I felt,
who better to bring with me

to this space than the person
who I feel I've learned

the most from professionally?

I will never forget
the first time I met you.
Mm‐hmm.

I was 10 years old, and I came
backstage at "Wicked."

Yes. Your nana said,
"My granddaughter can sing."

You sang,
and that's when I knew.

Oh, God.
I mean, 10 years old.

I remember Kristin
giving me your little wand.

I remember helping you
clean up your dog's pee.

That's when I thought,
"This girl sings and cleans pee.

Man, she's my girl."

Can't wait for you
to meet my team.
I can't, either.

Today's my first battle
rehearsal with my team.

It is so exciting.

I, immediately after the blinds,
started thinking of

which songs and which pairs
I might do.

The first pair of the day
is two amazing women.
Okay.

She's talking
about us right now.

Katie Rae...
Mm‐hmm. ...and Bella DeNapoli,

my Italian sista.

Two completely opposite,
but diva, big vocals.

And I've given them
the impossible task

of covering "No More Tears
(Enough Is Enough),"

Barbra and Donna.

Which you've done
with Barbra

and I've done with ‐‐
Yes, and you've done
in your show.

I had the honor
and soul‐shaking privilege

of singing this song
with Barbra herself.

It's a challenge, but I know
that they can tackle it.

Oh, I can't wait.
Come on in!

Oh, my God!
Oh, my God!

Me every time
I see you.

Hi!
Oh, my gosh! Come in!

I actually think
I almost passed out

to have not only Ariana Grande,
but Kristin Chenoweth,

'cause I came from
musical theater.

It's like both
of my worlds collided.

Ahh!

Are you dead?
Are you dying?
I'm dying.

Me, too. I know.
I can't even believe it.

Kristin Chenoweth
is the perfect adviser.

She's in everything from
freaking "Glee" to "Wicked."

I was just honestly star‐struck.
Where are you from?

♪ New York, New York

I love it.

I'm actually
from Sacramento. Oh, my goodness!

What I've been doing
for the last three years

is doing all the things
that stay‐at‐home moms do.

And, yes, I do sing
in the shower or in the car.

♪ Of the hard times

So it was very validating
to get the three‐chair turn.

♪ But we're alright

This is for my baby boy.

I went through kind of
a hard time after having him.

I love a strong, powerhouse,
bad‐bitch vocalist. I'm obsessed.

I had a serious bout
of postpartum depression.

But in a way,
that's what brought me here.

It's kind of what pushed me
to try and find myself again.

And I'm looking forward
to this new chapter in my life.

I haven't stopped thinking
about either of you
since the last time.

Like,
I sound more Italian

when you walk in the room,
by the way.

I'm like, "
Ma, you gotta listen to this."

And I
don't talk like that.
So I don't know why ‐‐

It's okay. My mom was like,
"You really said, 'Holy cannoli'

on live television, Bella?"
Holy cannoli.

The blind audition was crazy.

I could have never imagined

that I would be here
on Team Ariana today.

I moved to New York City
at 18 years old.

I auditioned for a couple
of colleges for musical theater,

but I got rejected
from my top school.

And I automatically was like,
"Nope.

That's not
the right field for me."

So I moved back home
with my parents,

and that might have been
the best thing for me.

They're my huge
support system.

Currently, I perform
with my parents

when I can at local gigs.

I feel like all of the paths
so far has been making me

realize who I am
as a person and an artist.

And this is my time.

And the song? Oh, my, God!
I can't believe
you gave us this song.

I know. I knew you could
handle it, though.
I can't wait.

The fact that Ariana
has done this with Barbra ‐‐

giant shoes to fill.

There's so much emotional
integrity at the beginning.

It's a full meal.
We're ready to eat.

‐Absolutely.
‐Very much.

Can't wait to be fed.
Yeah. Get your forks ready.

♪ It's raining

♪ It's pouring

Bella and Katie Rae ‐‐

they're just
so endlessly talented.

They're just these powerhouse
vocal divas.

♪ I‐I‐I‐I‐I

♪ Always dream

Their voices
are so different,

but so moving, and I am obsessed
with them both.

♪ I looooove

♪ I looooooooove

I can't look at them,
either one of them.

I don't care.
What is this?

Probably tags.
So great.

Are you ‐‐
I cannot.

Oh, my gosh.
You're so funny.

How do you do that?
How do you ‐‐

Oh, my God.
Both of you!

Unbelievable.
Look. They can't even
contain themselves.

♪ Enough is enough is enough

♪ I can't go on

♪ I can't go on no more,
no more ♪

It's an iconic song
sung by two original divas.

And as I watched both singers,
they both own who they are.

It was so respectful
of the original,

and it was
so stunningly your own.

You brought your own tones
and textures and choices to it.

There's one part
that I missed.

I would love for you
to give us a,

♪ Ooo‐ooo‐ooo

Or even if you want,
you can set her up and say,

♪ I've always dreamed I found
the perfect lover ♪

♪ Ooo‐ooo‐ooooo
Okay.

Because I miss hearing
that little background.
Okay.

Ari, as a coach,
is musically intelligent.

She's technical.

I'm just so grateful
to be able to work with her

and to learn from her, honestly.

Also, like...
Yeah.

...I care about the acting.

Stop it right now.
Sorry.

I'm gonna cry.
Oh, my gosh.
Are you for real?

I care, because these ‐‐
these women,

Donna and Barbra,
who I grew up,

it's shoes you very delicately
step in.
Yeah.

And you just slid right in ‐‐
both of you slid right in.

The shoe fits.
Thank you. So gorgeous.

Thank you.
I'm sorry I'm crying.

I don't know.
You're gonna make me cry!

Stop it!

If I were to have told
my 13‐year‐old self

that I was gonna be singing
this powerhouse song

in front of Kristin
and making her cry

and having her feel
the way she makes me feel,

was just powerful.
You have inspired.

Gosh.
Thank you so much.
You inspired me.

You inspired us.
Oh, my gosh.
Both of you. We love you so much.

I truly can't wait to see them
at the stage rehearsals.

Bye.
Bye.

Oh, my gosh.
Thank you.

♪ I can't go on, I can't go on

I see Ariana,
and I'm kind of freaking out.

It feels like she's investing
in us as people.

We've been working real hard
and ready to do this.

In the hook, if we could have
a few more moments

where you're like...

♪ No more, no
Okay, cool.

♪ Out that door now
Okay.

'Cause that's
a really empowering,

unifying moment...
Mm‐hmm.

...as women, to be like,
"Nah, out that door now,"

together might be really cool.
Talking to each other.

This is my first time
at the stage rehearsals,

and I'm having so much fun.

I love it in unison,
like, little hand.

It's very, like,
Supremes‐y.

Oh. Absolutely.
Take it back.

♪ I want him out,
I want him out that door now ♪

♪ Nooooooo
I think
it's so beautiful to see

the performance that you dreamt
in your head

come together in this setting.

♪ Enough

Oh, my God!

Enough...

...is enough rehearsal.

I don't know what to do.

I cannot picture life
without these women on my team.

I might fight you for
one of these, too, Miss Ari.

Oh, good luck.
These are my girls.
Mm‐hmm.

Bella DeNapoli, Katie Rae.
Here we go.

The battle starts right now.

Whoo‐hoo!

Aaah!

Oh, my goodness.
I loved the build.

You know, how you both started
off in this mellower space

and then just powerhouse.

Bella, there was a word
you said ‐‐

I think it was "my"...
Yeah.

...and the way
the vibrato rang and ‐‐

Uh‐huh. It's "my."
Yeah. It was "my."

I was like, oh, my God.
You're crying! She's crying.

Just the way you said the word,
and I was wondering, like,

how would Katie Rae
respond to that?

And, wow, Katie Rae,
my lord,

your tone is, like, so good.
Thank you so much.

The power and that edge and that
rawness in your voice ‐‐

I love it.

It's hard 'cause
she's a new coach and, like,

this is the hardest part
of what we do,

particularly when you two
make it so difficult

by giving such
a powerhouse performance.

Thank you so much.
Thank you. Thank you so much.

Yeah, just because
I prefer her tone

just a little more,
I would side with Katie Rae.

That was so rad.

I love the drama
of the beginning.

Like, Bella, you started,
and I was like, "What?!"

It was just ‐‐ Things were just
slipping out of your mouth.

It was just so nice.

Katie, you came in
with that sultry sex.

Like, I‐I literally was like,
"Oh, my gosh."

Like, you bring all this
heavy warmth down here

and the high notes as well,
but you bring all these, like,

piercing,
kind of more pure notes

happening upstairs.

Way upstairs.
And all the ‐‐ I was like,
"Oh, she's ‐‐ that's as high ‐‐

Nope, she's still going."
In the penthouse.

Bella, you're insane,
but there's something

that's super captivating
about that sultry,

like, lower end on you, Katie,
that I really like a lot.

Thank you so much.

I want to talk about Bella
for a minute,

because when
you started the song,

it was almost like a scene from,
like, some old classic movie.

But then
when Katie comes in,

she has such an edgy voice
that you're drawn to that.

But I kept thinking back
to how the song started.

So I'm leaning
towards Bella. Thank you.

Thank you, Coaches.

Ariana, you've got
the final decision.

Give us some thoughts first.

I don't want
to get too emotional,

but I adore you both so much.

You're both so consistently
phenomenal

and, like, there's nothing
to be fixed ever.

Oh, my gosh.
Every single time we ran it

was stunningly perfect.

There's nothing that either
of you can't sing,

and I feel so privileged
to work with you

and to have spent this time
with you both. We love you.

Thank you.

This song
means a lot to me.

My mom and I
would sing it together

in the car all the time,

and hearing it sound like this
is just so special,

and I'm just so proud
of you both and thankful
to work with you.

And, oh, God,
I hate this so much.

I told you it was
gonna happen, girl. I told you.

I literally talked to
my therapist about this.

I was like...

This is a tough one.
Oh, God!

But the time has come.
Oh, my God.

How ‐‐ How do your voice breaks
when you cry is like,

what in the hell? Just stop!

Ari, who is the winner
of this battle?

I...

I think the winner
of this battle is Katie Rae.

Katie Rae,
congratulations.

You're moving on
to the knockouts

representing Team Ariana!

Katie Rae! So good.

I love you so much.
Can I hug you?

This was a really
painstaking and tough decision.

I think it was just
a matter of emotion.

Every time
Katie opened her mouth,

I got goose bumps,
but Bella, as well.

Coaches, let me remind
you that Bella's available
to steal or save.

Bella, anything you'd like
to say to your coach?
Oh, no.

Ariana, I never in a million
years would have thought

that I would even
be able to sing in front of you.

And now you're crying
over me. What?!
I love you. That's crazy.

Give it up for Bella DeNapoli,
ladies and gentlemen!

Whoa! We got a save!

Ariana saves Bella!
Yeah! Yes! Yes!

Oh, my God. Nobody ‐‐
We can't steal now.

You were crying!
Oh, yeah. See? Good.

I'm good.
We're not heartless!

I think you are such
a stunningly gifted

and consistent vocalist.

I mean ‐‐ No, I can't ever ‐‐
you never ‐‐ please.

Understood, understood.

I was able to save
my Bella DeNapoli,

my Italian sista.

I think she's
an incredible vocalist.

I think she's
such a bright light.

I never would have thought,
like,

"Oh, they'll use their save."
I am beyond ‐‐

Oh, my God.
Thank God.

Oh, no!
Oh, thank God.

Oh, my God, I don't know what
I would have done without you.

I just had to come surprise you.
I'm sorry.

No, it's okay.
Come in any time!

Don't worry.
Never interrupting me, Ari.

Still to come...

♪ There are stars

I feel like I'm at
a bluegrass festival. I love it.
I love it.

Camila Cabello is here.

Oh, my God!
What?

I can't believe we just
sang her song for her.
I know.

The chorus ‐‐ just keep it,
like, really staccato.

♪ I know what you did
last summer ♪

♪ Just lie to me
there's no other ♪
Whoo!

♪ Down, down
in an earlier round ♪

♪ And, sugar,
we're going down swinging ♪
...and more difficult decisions.

I'm nervous!
Which one?

Have you ever narrowly escaped
a terrible car accident,

and you look back
and you go, "Wow"?

Plus, a "Voice" first.
Three steals and a save! Oh, no!

Now, this is good television.

Now, this is good television.

♪ This is "The Voice"Welcome back
to the battles

at Universal Studios Hollywood.

Here he comes. Watch out.
Here he comes.

I've been thinking
about you.

Aww!
Oh, you brought tissues?

Oh, thank you!

After this season,
you won't ever need these again.

You'll get over it.
My heart will dissolve?

You'll ‐‐ You'll become callous
like the ‐‐ like us three.

This is so sweet.
That's a nice gesture.

Look at this guy.
There's a heart in there.

Look, I'm married now.
I'm soft ‐‐ getting softer.

Yeah!
Yes, yes.

Welcome.
Hello!

It's so good
to have you here.

So good to be here.
How are you?

So the adviser for Team Legend
this season is Camila Cabello.

♪ Havana, ooh na‐na

Camila's
a platinum‐selling artist.

She's won Latin Grammys.

She's performed
all around the world,

and she's bringing
that expertise to "The Voice."

You know, I started
on a singing competition.
I know!

I was reading about you

and how you got into
Fifth Harmony.
Yep.

And you all became
the most important group

that came from that show.
Thanks.

And then you've gone off to
have this amazing solo career.

Thanks!
And we're so happy
to have you.

I would not be where I am today
if I hadn't audition

for a show like this.

It genuinely gives people
an opportunity,

which I think is, like,
so amazing and so beautiful.

We're in front of John Legend
and somebody amazing.

I know.
I wish I knew who it was.

I know. I'm like,
"Oh, my God."

I'll give you a cue
to actually leave.

Okay, give me the cue.

So I'm about to surprise
Samuel and KJ

'cause they're singing
Shawn and I's song,

"I Know What You Did
Last Summer."

Hello!
Hello!

KJ! Samuel!
Hi!

Hey. Hi!
How are you?

So I'm excited
to hear their version of it.

Come over here.

Samuel and KJ ‐‐ their voices
are quite different,

but they're both charismatic
and so engaging.

I'm so excited to hear you two
duet with this song.

And I thought,
who would be the best adviser?

And it's Camila Cabello.
She's here.

Oh, my God!
What?

Hi!
I freaked out!

I mean, I'm singing her song.

Only legendary behavior
allowed. Legendary behavior! Hi!

She has so many hits.
She is such a talented singer.

Every single time she gets
on that stage, she kills it.

I could not believe it was her.

And you're singing
her song!

I don't even know
what to say.

You're singing my first song
from when I was a baby fetus.

And she wrote this with someone
she knows very well,

Shawn Mendes.
I know him kinda well.

And this was the first time
they collaborated.

Shawn and I started writing this
in a dressing room

at Taylor Swift's concert.
Wow.

But what's really interesting
is for the session,

we had me and Shawn
in separate vocal booths,

and we were just kind of
improvising that together.
Cool.

And that is the bridge
that you hear now.

He and I were just kind of
bouncing off each other

for that bridge part.
Wow. That's cool.

Another fun fact is Shawn
could never remember

the words of this bridge.
Oh, wow.

And I would always
make fun of him

because he always
got the words wrong.
Yeah, yeah.

And look what happened
afterwards.

Hey.
The magic happened!

Walked away with more than
a song, if you know what I mean.

♪ Does he know?

When I first heard KJ
sing, I was intimidated.

It made me nervous, and it is
going to be a challenge,

but I'm up for it.
I grew up with a big family,

and I'm one of
five adopted children.

I remember seeing my dad
play in his bluegrass band.

Unbeknownst to me, later on,
had an impact on me

in just wanting to perform.

I taught myself how to play
the guitar and piano,

and it kind of all led up to me

turning into
a full‐time musician

touring around the United States

and playing a lot at breweries,
wineries,

private parties, weddings.

I'm a full‐time dad
at the same time,

and he means everything to me.

The whole motivation
behind my audition song

was just thinking about
how much I miss him.

♪ Without you, baby

♪ But you're still with me
in my dreams ♪

It motivates me
to want to work harder.

I'm gonna have to
bring my A‐game.

♪ Am I just hanging on to
all the words you used to say? ♪

I love Samuel's voice.

It has so much character.
Whoo!

He kind of whispers sometimes.
It's raspy. It's unique.

♪ It's tearing me apart

♪ She's slipping away
♪ I'm slipping away

Whoo!
Yeah!

Come on!
That was awesome.

I can't believe we just
sang her song for her.
I know.

The pressure ‐‐ it's real.

I loved it. I thought it was
really, really sick.

And I think in the beginning,
KJ,

I think your falsetto
was really beautiful.

I think you should
use it more.
Yeah, okay.

What's that riff that you did?
He knew? He knows?

♪ I didn't mean it,
tho‐o‐o‐ugh ♪

Dang!
Your riffs be so fast.

That's very sick.
Samuel.

I think you were
a little ahead of the beat...

Yes.
...on the chorus.

It kind of, like,
discombobulates the listener.

I think the chorus ‐‐ just keep
it, like, really staccato.

♪ I know what you did
last summer ♪

A pop song is like ‐‐ A lot
of what drives its impact

is that little
staccato delivery.
Yeah.

And I'm not naturally
that kind of singer.

I'm more of a soul singer.
I draw my notes out and vibrato

and all these things.
Right. Yep.

But for pop music,
you gotta attack that rhythm

in the right way, okay?
Yeah.

This song is different
than songs I usually perform.

I'm usually in
the jazz/soul wheelhouse.

♪ I don't need to worry

♪ Mmm, yeah

♪ Maybe sometimes

So to get "I Know What You Did
Last Summer"

was really refreshing.
It's pushing me vocally,

and I feel like I'm already
growing so much as an artist.

♪ Don't, don't let me go

KJ's voice is so cool.

It's so liquid.
It's, like, flexible.

And she can do all these runs
and she has a lot of power.

That's really good.
Yeah!

So good.
Thank you.

I love the hunger.
You know what I mean?
Mm‐hmm.

I love that you're giving face.
You're giving acting.

By the time
I was in high school,

I was doing musical theater
and Shakespeare.

And when I graduated
high school,

I moved to L. A.
with my boyfriend.

So we're songwriting, producing,
and trying to create music.

Samuel, I think you're being
a little too shy

about,
like, really singing.

Yeah.
Just flex a little bit
for everybody.

Alright, I got you.
And ‐‐

Growing up, I was super shy
and, you know,

I cried if I had to go, like,

give my own order
at a restaurant or something.

So, vocally, John telling me
to find time to shine more ‐‐

it's motivating to go back
and, you know,

do the work that I need to do
and find those spots.

You still have to be
a competitor.

I understand.
So show people
you can sing.

Alright, I got you.
I got you, John.
Okay?

Let it ring out,
and also, I think,

feed off of KJ's energy.

Look at her more
and give it back to her.

You know what I mean?
Play out the story more.

Like, she's been cheating,
is what the song's saying.
Yeah.

Be mad!
She's been cheating on you.

And even though it's, like,
bad news

you're being confident about,
it's like you're also assured

that you know what you're
talking about, too.
Yeah, exactly.

And so ‐‐
Like,
I know what you did, girl.

Yeah.
I know.

This was, like,
one of the first songs

that I ever did
as a solo artist.

So to hear people singing it
was really cool.

Feels very hot‐cold,
kind of like pushing away...
Yes.

...but then, "I know
you didn't mean it, though.

Tell me what you did
last summer."
Yeah.

"Mr. & Mrs. Smith,"
you know, like...
Yes!

You know what I'm saying?
Yes! It's gonna be so good.

So I think you guys
have the blueprint.

Amazing! Oh, my gosh.
Thank you so much.

This is awesome.
This is crazy.
Great job.

KJ's out there doing it.
She's ringing the notes out.

She's finding moments to put her
individual stamp on the song.

And I want Samuel
to do that, too.

He has it in him.
He can do it.

Did we just do that?

If they give us an A‐plus
version of themselves,

it's gonna be
a very tough decision.

Wow! Alright!

Alright!
Did y'all have fun?

Oh, yeah.
Yeah!

I know. I knew you had fun since
the moment you walked out here.

You made me smile.
Oh, she came in hot.

I thought you have
some really cool runs.

I wouldn't have chosen
where you went,

and I love singing
like that.
Thank you.

You're definitely
more pure‐sounding,

and you've got such a rock,
like, edge to you.

Samuel,
it's really cool.
Thank you.

I feel like Shawn has kind of
some rasp in him,

and Camila's more pure.

And I'm curious to know
where you'd go, Samuel,

so I think
I'm leaning that way,

but I thought they both
did a really good job.

Thank you.
Yeah. Thank you.

KJ, you both have
your strengths,

and yours were
in some of the runs

and ‐‐ and the rangy stuff
that you were doing.

But Samuel has that cool,
smoky sound

like you just smoked a carton
of cigarettes

right before you ‐‐
Is that your trick?

Is that what it is?
Which we don't advise.

I think based on that tone,

that's probably where I would
go, is Samuel. Okay.

This is so hard because, Samuel,
I love your tone.

I love your voice.
Thank you.

You had one of my favorite
blind auditions.

And, KJ, I don't know that I was
able to fully appreciate,

based on your blind audition,
what I just saw now

come to life in a new way.

Your runs were so precise,
and I was like,

"Oh, this diva's ‐‐ whoa.
This is a plot twist."

Thank you.
Yes.
I don't know.

I would personally
have to go with KJ, I think.

Thank you.

Thank you, Coaches.

Alright, Johnny,
you got the final decision.

Give us some thoughts.
The wild thing is that this song

was written by Shawn and Camila

as their first‐ever
collaboration

before they were dating.

And the way you all connected,
um... like, the chemistry...

...it was great.

Like, they really enjoyed
performing together.

That's all I want to say.
No pressure.

This is a very
powerful song.

KJ, you have great
vocal technique, amazing runs.

You come here with enthusiasm,
with great energy,

with that big smile.
It's just magnetic.

Thank you.

And, Samuel, you emotionally
invest in the music

that you're singing.

You sing with connection
and passion,

and you asserted yourself
in the song in a way that said,

"Even though I'm singing a duet,
this is also a battle."

So both of you nailed it.

John, who's the winner
of this battle?

The winner
of this battle...

...is Samuel.

Samuel Harness,
congratulations!

You're moving on to the
knockouts on Team Legend.

It was a difficult decision.

I just thought
it'd be better to pick Samuel

because I think his voice
has a little more character

and individuality
and uniqueness.

I'm flabbergasted.
I'm so excited.

Team Legend, baby!
Whoo!

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

This has been the honor of
my life to stand on this stage,

and thank you
to all of you.

Wonderful.
Thank you so much.

Give it up one more time
for KJ Jennings,

ladies and gentlemen!

Samuel versus KJ
was a good battle,

but I like to wait
to use my steal

because there's always a battle
that happens

towards the end of these things
that blows people away.

I love her,
and I love him.

That was hard.
He's just different. Yeah.

Who will win this Team Kelly
battle? My heart's shaking.

Will it be the family trio
from Ohio, Girl Named Tom?

I love them.
I'm so jealous.
They're so good.

Ooh. How do I get rid of
this heart pump?
Or the 35‐year‐old
from Nashville,

Kinsey Rose?

Oh!

They're so great!
It's gonna be so good!

Alright, alright,
here we go. Welcome to "La Voix."

For my adviser,
I brought in Jason Aldean.

I love him.
He's a friend of mine.

I'm so happy you're here.

Thanks for having me.
I appreciate it.
I'm so happy.

I thought Jason would be perfect
to help my artists

because if you've seen Jason
perform,

it's like a little bit of rock,
soulfulness, blues, and country,

and he's got a lot
of different kind of flavors

going on in there,
and my team is like that.

We didn't really
know each other

until we sang
"Don't You Wanna Stay?"

And then sometimes
you have magic. Yes, you do!

Biggest duet
that I've done in my career

was the song I did with Kelly,
"Don't You Wanna Stay?"

♪ Don't you wanna stay here?

That was a huge, huge song
that introduced me

to a whole different fan base.

Oh, my God! It's one of
my favorite songs ever.

Got us nominated
for a Grammy.

I know.

We should have won.
Whoever won sucks.

I'm just kidding.

I feel very fortunate to
have had the career I've had

and to be able to come and share
some of that knowledge.

Get ready for
every genre of music.

Perfect.
I love it. I love it.
Yes, I know.

I'm excited to be here.

I've always wanted
little brothers and sisters.

If it was me and my sister,

it would not be
as nice as you guys.

When we found out we were paired
with Kinsey, it was like, "Yes!"

‐Yeah.
‐Yeah.

Kinsey's
a great harmonizer,

so she just fits right in.

I have a couple groups
this season.

This is, uh,
Girl Named Tom.

Incredible family harmonies.

Right. Yeah.
It's insane.

They were, like,
a four‐chair turn.

Everybody was like,
"Oh, my gosh."

And then I have Kinsey Rose,
who last season

I blocked Blake for Kenzie,
which is a guy.

And then this season
I blocked Blake for Kinsey,

which is a girl.
And she sings country,

and she kind of has this
really cool voice, too.

I feel like she could
cover a lot of different
kind of artists.

Yeah, let's meet them.
So I'll bring them in. Come on.

Oh, my.

What's up?!
This is Jason Aldean, everybody!

How are you?
I'm Kinsey. Nice to meet you.

When I saw Jason,
I was so excited.

There is a country artist there.

Hey, I love your bar
in Nashville. Oh, thank you.

I've been in Nashville
for 11 years.

I've played up and down
Broadway,

all of the honky‐tonks there.

Country music
is primarily what I sing.

Jason has been doing this
for a long time.

He's played for huge audiences.

So can learn a lot
from a guy like Jason.

I was excited
to bring Jason.

We've done a duet together,
so it's kind of the same thing.

We're kind of trying
to create magic here with people

that maybe haven't sang
together before.

Sometimes you capture
lightning in a bottle.
Yes!

And you just never know
when that's gonna be.

Alright, y'all ready?
Let's do it.

Go team.
Team.

♪ Now, I have loved you

I paired Girl Named Tom
and Kinsey Rose

because I knew Kinsey's country

and I knew they liked
James Taylor, and I thought,

let's just find something
we can do in the middle.

"Seven Bridges Road" was kind of
a perfect song by The Eagles.

♪ And I have loved

You have those family harmonies
that sound amazing together.

♪ Sometimes

Kinsey is obviously
a country singer

and has little cracks
in her voice here and there.

They sounded great together.

♪ There are stars

♪ In the southern sky

The song is about the singer's
journey back to his hometown.

My grandparents lived in a town
called Elizabethtown, Kentucky.

That was like my home
away from home.

And I remember whenever
we'd hit that gravel road,

I could smell the cow manure,

and I loved
the country smells.

And I knew we were almost to
Grandma and Grandpa's house.

♪ Road

That was incredible!
Yeah.

Oh, my God.

I feel like I'm at
a bluegrass festival. I love it.
I love it.

So you guys ‐‐
bluegrass background, or...?

Kinsey's really into that,
like, country‐bluegrass feel,

so we were all about, like,
embracing that for this song.

I mean, you nailed it so much
to where he thought

that's where
your roots were.

Yeah.
Oh! Shucks. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

We've been a band
for two years.

At first, we were making
all kinds of phone calls

and e‐mails trying
to get people to listen.

What was our ratio,
do you think?

Oh, it was not great.

Rock, paper, scissors, shoot.
Yes!

We were homeschooled growing up,

and I think that really affected
how close we are.

Bekah, do you want eggs?

People might think it's
odd that we still live together.

We're kind of poor,
so it makes financial sense.

Yeah, it's so efficient.
It's absolutely true.

When I graduated
high school,

we packed up the van
and hit the road.

We describe our genre
as acoustic pop.

We would be singing
for wineries, churches,

retirement centers,
anywhere that would take us,

and we're on "The Voice" now.

Family harmonies, man.
I know!

It's as tight as you can get.
So tight!

And then your thing is, like,
trying to fit in with that,

but also kind of stand
on your own

and have your moment, too.

So the Alison Krauss‐y,
Lee Ann Womack kinda...

Ooh!
I was gonna say Lee Ann Womack
meets Alison Krauss.

Yeah.
It would be
really cool, though,

when you start at the top
of the song, to not just wail.

Especially with you guys,
there's a fine line of it

being a jumbled mess
and being able to hear

each one of you guys
individually

that makes up this, like,
really cool thing.

This is the first time
we've done it with the band,

so we might be
oversinging.

Would it be weird
to just completely stop?

♪ Seven bridges road

Then maybe you could
come in ‐‐ ♪ Road

Arranging music
is one of our favorite parts.

After the modulation,
if you come in on "Southern."
Yeah.

We post videos
on social media

about us arranging
the songs.

We give ourselves
a one‐hour time limit.

Sometimes it works.

Sometimes it's not so great,
but...

♪ Down the seven bridges

I liked it a lot better

when they sort of
stripped it down

and let the vocals kind of stand
out front a little bit more

and shine,
and I was really impressed.

I definitely think
it's gonna be...
Hell yeah!

...one of the most
memorable performances.

It could bring the house down.
Could bring the house down.

Great job!
Thank you so much.

I'm so stoked to see
this performance.

Girl Named Tom and Kinsey
knocked it out of the park.

This decision is gonna be
so tough.

Let the battle begin.

Alright, let's do it. Whoo!

Yeah.
Kelly's excited. Hell yeah.

Okay, Team Kelly.

You four need to be singing
together all the time, you know?

Thank you.

Kinsey, in terms of
winning this show,

you're definitely somebody
I would think about

if I was Kelly because you have
so much character in your voice.

And, by the way, you look like
Hank Williams Sr. up there.

I mean, look at that. That's a
Hank Williams Sr. up there.

Thank you very much.

And then Girl Named Tom ‐‐
together, it was incredible.

But when you stepped out with
that top note towards the end,

your voice is
so freakin' powerful.

You guys are great, too,
but, uh ‐‐

She's the real reason
we're here, so...

No!
They pay me to pick people,

but I don't care.
I'll take a pay cut.

I'm not gonna say.
It's too good.

This was so incredible.

Kelly, you arranged
the hell out of this.

They arranged
that version.
Really? Oh, my God.

It was so great,
so brilliant.

It sounded like
you could be a group,

all four of you,
but also

so incredible individually
as well.

If I had to lean,
I would lean slightly

in the direction
of Girl Named Tom?

That was so inspiring
and beautiful.

This is the kind of thing
people pay lots of money

to experience, you know?

Thank you.
Thank you, yeah.

Musically, I feel a little bit
more connected

with Girl Named Tom,
but I would say Kinsey, to me,

sounded like
the best soloist.

Her tone is just so crisp,
and it's very compelling.

Thank you, Coaches!

Alright, Kelly,
you got the final decision.

Give us some thoughts first.

I'm so proud to say
that you're on my team.

It's just such
a special thing for me.

You know, Girl Named Tom,
I have heard you in rehearsals.

I have heard each of you sing,
and you're incredible.

And, Kinsey, you're the kind of
country singer that I love.

And no one's like you
on the show.

Kelly, the time has come.

Who is the winner
of this battle?

Okay.
We're just getting in there.

And t‐this whole thing is about
strategy sometimes, you know,

so just, we're getting in there,
and I'm just so nervous.

There's gonna be some stealing,
I know this.

I know! I'm nervous which one!
So I'm nervous!

That was all crazy,
what I just did. Um, I'm aware.

Uh, okay.

The winner
of this battle...

...is Girl Named Tom.

Girl Named Tom
is moving on to the knockouts

representing Team Kelly.
So good, so good.

Y'all, Girl Named Tom
and Kinsey Rose ‐‐

like four mics dropped,
and you're welcome.

Great job.
It was so great.

I picked Girl Named Tom
because that family harmony

is so incredible
and it's so tight.

There's just
something special about it.

It's so exciting.
Yeah. I just ‐‐ Waaaaaah!

Coaches, let me remind you
that Kinsey's available

to steal or save.

Kinsey, anything you'd like
to say to Kelly?

Oh, my gosh!
That was fast.

Oh! Whoa!
We got a save,

and John is in
with a steal!

I'm gonna cry.
Should I get in it? Oh, no!

Nooooo!
There's Blake with a steal!

Kinsey, you can go back
to Kelly,

or you can have John Legend,
or you can have Blake Shelton.

You know, I am not the obvious
choice in this situation.

Don't do it! He's doing
the reverse‐psychology thing.

Listen,
I just wanted to honor

how amazing you were to me.
Thank you so much.

I thought you had the best voice
of the group up there,

and you should not be
going home.

I know I can be
a good coach for you,

and I know you deserve
to be here.

That's all I want to say.

Have you ever narrowly escaped
a terrible car accident

where it's like ‐‐
and you look back and you go,

"Wow, wow.
I'll never do that again"?

This is that moment
for you right now.

I'm sorry. Are we saying
picking Kelly Clarkson

is like picking
a car accident?

Oh, my God.
This is your chance
to never make

that horrible mistake
again...
What?!

...even though you didn't even
have a chance...
What?

...the first time around
when Kelly blocked you...

Oh, truth.
...from even
having the chance

to not be
in that horrible car wreck.

She was the person
driving the other car.

Are you okay?

This is your chance
to escape something tragic.

I'd love to be your coach,
Kinsey.

Kel, you're using
your one and only...

I am.
...save against
two steals.

Which is not fair.
Okay, let me explain something.

I did not choose.

I know I had to,
technically.
You. She did not choose you.

No, no, no, no, no.
Yes, yes.

No, no, no.
Like, I was just very nervous,

and so I just picked one.
I want you on my team.

I have a whole list on my notes
on my phone.

I'm so excited
to work with you.

Kinsey,
it is all up to you.

Who do you pick
as your coach? Oh, my gosh.

I don't know!

Shock the world!
Shock the world!

I can't even pick
off of a menu

what I want for dinner.

Like, this is so hard.

Would you like
a Blake burger?

Would you like John...

John's fried chicken.
...salmon?

I want to be fried chicken.
I like fried chicken.
Or Kelly cakes?

Oh, my gosh. Okay.

Can I just say one thing?
I just have to say one thing.

I, too, appreciated
and respect...

Thank you.
That means a lot.
...and adore your voice.

I had to sneak that in there,
not to make it about me.
Thank you.

But like, hello, I'm sitting
here, the only one

without a thing
in front of my seat.

Well, push it!

Aah!
There we go!

We got another steal!

Three steals and a save!
That is a "Voice" first.

Now, this
is good television.

So you've got the burger,
you've got the veggie burger,

you've got the thing,
you've got the thing,

I'll be a turkey burger.
What's for dinner?

Kinsey,
I don't know what to tell you.

I've never seen this on
"The Voice." I'll ask you again.

Thank God we have no more
coaches to press buttons.

Who do you pick
as your coach? Come on, Kinsey!

Come home!

Blake, Blake,
Blake, Blake!

But I love all of you. Aw, man!

Blake, Blake,
Blake, Blake!

But I love all of you. Aw, man!

Kelly saved me twice.

Oh, my God! Are you picking me?
Are you picking me?

Kelly Clarkson...
...has been selected.

Kinsey is staying put!
Oh, my God!

So I'm really happy.
All the seals in the world

could not rip her from my grasp.

Oh, my God.
I'm so excited.

Kinsey ‐‐ her tone
- is like Alison Krauss/
- Dolly,

like this very authentic
country sound that I love.

This is the first time
in "Voice" history

we've had four button pushes
in the battles,

and that just shows you
the power of Kinsey's voice.

I thought you had
a shot, buddy.

It probably didn't help
that my pitch

about the car crash thing

kind of became its own crash
within itself.

That was amazing.
I just ‐‐

Hit your button. Fine.
I had to get in there, man.

Dierks.

What are you doing, buddy?

How you been?
What's happening?

Uh, not much.
Glad you're doing this.

Excited to be out here,
you know, seeing your
world a little bit.

I brought in none other than
my old friend Dierks Bentley.

♪ I'm getting drunk on a plane

Dierks is Grammy‐nominated.

Yeah, okay, good.
I like that.

This is something.

Yours is as gray
as I've ever seen it.

I heard it.

Blake ‐‐ good friend of mine
from way back.

We've kind of cut our teeth
in the same type of music

and both old‐school
honky‐tonkers.

I'm so excited to get a chance
to go in there

and offer up any advice
that I can

that's gonna help them
not only here in "The Voice,"

but down the road with whatever
they do with their career.

So now we've got a trio
versus a solo artist.

No way.
Dierks Bentley? What?

Come in
and meet Dierks Bentley.

Hey, y'all.
How you doing?

Holy crap. It's frickin'
Dierks Bentley.

Hot Country Knights?
Hot Country Knights, hey.

Yeah, dude.
They got my vote. Hell yeah.

Dierks ‐‐ I respect him
as an artist immensely.

He puts on
these huge festivals.

He's got an amazing bar
that's renowned in Nashville.

You don't know who is
gonna be in that room,

but that was, like,
a perfect guy to be there.

Frickin' Dierks Bentley
and Blake Shelton

just sitting right here.
What's happening right now?

What is going on?

Like, does everybody know
this song already?

You're kind of born
knowing this song,

"Joy to the World."
Absolutely.

I think we were born.
Yeah.
Yes, sir.

You know,
when I moved to Nashville,

my first job was I painted
a lady's house

by the name of
Mae Boren Axton.

Her son was a guy
named Hoyt Axton,

who wrote
"Joy to the World."

He got me on his bus one day,
and he sang me "Ol' Red."

That was the first time
I ever sang "Ol' Red."
What?!

Wow.
So I was 18 years old

and already found
what ended up being

possibly my signature song.

I gave Peedy and Joy Reunion

"Joy to the World"
by Three Dog Night,

and I think
this is a perfect song

because it's a vintage throwback,

which is great for Peedy,
and it's also from a band,

a trio, and that's perfect
for Joy Reunion.

And everyone knows
Jeremiah.

They loved his wine,
I know that.
Mm‐hmm.

It's mighty good,
mighty good.
Mighty good.

Hey, you're not old enough
to know that.

That's right.
Peedy, how old are you?

I'm 19 years old.
Wow.

I've known the song
for a long time, and I was like,

"Yes! This is up
my alley right now."

♪ Heartbreak Hotel,
well, I'll be ♪

I picked Blake because
I could just feel

his passion into my music.

That had me
fired the hell up.

I know country music
because my mom.

She did the whole Nashville
scene back in the '90s,

and she got really close
to her dream,

but she wanted to settle down
and have a family.

And my father as well ‐‐
like, he always played

Eddie Rabbitt
and Hank Williams Jr.

and Alan Jackson in the car.

So country was always
a part of my childhood.

I've been gigging with my band
in Athens, Georgia.

It's a college town
where it's a younger audience,

and to go up there
and sing a Doobie Brothers song

or a Stevie Wonder song ‐‐

it's opening the door
for this music

that they need to be
familiar with,

because it's the reason why
music is the way it is today.

♪ Singing now
joy to the world ♪

Peedy's voice is incredible.
He's got a really cool tone.

He still manages to be unique,

even though he mimics his hero
a little bit,

but he's not
an impersonator at all.

♪ And if I were
the king of the world ♪

I love Joy Reunion's passion.

Their voices
are all very different.

You've got a little bit
of a rock edge in there.

You've got a softer, like,
folk sound in there.

You also have Gentry,
who's just got

a straight‐ahead
country female voice.

♪ Mee‐eee‐eee‐eee‐eee

Nice! Wow! Wow! That is so cool.

Some of, like, the bigger award
shows out there,

when they're trying
to come up with stuff,

this is what
they come up with.

Like, "How can we get
Elton John..."

They hope they do, yeah.
"...Eminem, you know?"

You guys have obviously been
doing this for a long time.

That blend is really,
you know ‐‐

you just can't make
that stuff up.

Thank you.
Are you guys related?

No, we met playing
in church together.
Yeah.

We've been pursuing music ‐‐
it seems like a lifetime

already that we've been ‐‐
Our whole lives.

Our whole life, yeah.

♪ And it sings to me,
it sounds familiar ♪

♪ I feel no shame

♪ I'm proud of where
I came from ♪

We've been denied
so many times.
Yeah.

And it feels so good.

Aww!
Thank you.

We have a long past of,
like, trying to make it,

doing the bar‐gig scene
and little restaurants.

We actually had someone come up
with a $20 bill and say,

"Hey, if you turn down,
I'll give you this tip."

Yeah.
That happened.

I felt like giving up.
Like, I told them, like,

I'm so done being defeated
and rejected.

And we got
the biggest opportunity.

It really is a dream
come true every day.

And, Peedy, your thing ‐‐
nobody's doing what you do, man.

It is so unique,
and it's really refreshing.

That high note you hit there
at the end ‐‐ that was sick.

Thank you very much.
Really cool.

Now, Peedy, here's what
I would say to you is,

visually, there's so much
happening here,

energy‐wise
and stage‐presence‐wise,

this is what
you're up against.

And I saw you perform before,
and it is super entertaining.

And I guess
I'm just saying,

don't leave that part
of what you do on the table,

because that's
a big part of your act.

Yes, sir.
You know what I'm saying?

I feel like I picked 100%
the right coach after today.

If I cross my fingers, cross
your toes, cross everything,

hopefully, I get to be ‐‐
continue on his team.

♪ Joy to the world

It's just a pleasure
to listen to them.

I feel like I should be
paying money to be here

to get this free concert
from them.

They're superstars
in their own right.

Feel the whole
performance.
Got it.

As far as just, like,
the skills.

I mean, you guys exceed
all that stuff.

Great singers, great energy,
great persona on stage.

I just want to
see more of it.

This is the highlight
for me.
Yeah.

It's also a low point for me
'cause I gotta figure this out.

Whoever is the one
that you end up

not being able
to take your eyes off of

is gonna be the one
that wins this battle.

This is gonna be
a fun one to watch.

I'll let Blake
do the decision‐making. Oh, God.

I love his suit.
Did you style him?

Oh, yeah, oh yeah. I love it.
Let the battle begin.

Very good. Yes!

Holy moly.

What an infectiously
joyous performance.

Everyone sounded incredible.

The Joy Reunion ‐‐ I am obsessed
with your harmonies

and your individual voices
as well.
Thank you.

And, Peedy,
I feel like the first round,

the only reason
why I didn't hit my button

was 'cause I didn't know
if I heard enough of you in it.

This round,
while your influences

were so clear and present,

I heard more of you,
and that was really cool.

It's so good.
I loved it.
Thank you.

We truly felt the joy,
and you singing as a foursome,

the energy
was really infectious.

We felt every smile,
every note.

It rang true in the room,
and, uh, it was really fun.

Thanks, John.
Thank you.

That was fun as hell to watch.
I love the harmonies.

Joy Reunion, you have
really great vocals together.

But, Peedy, I don't even know
what to say.

Like, I was literally
grinning ear to ear.

That level of confidence
is so cool. Thank you.

Thank you, Coaches.

Alright, buddy, you got
the final decision.

Give us some thoughts first.

Joy Reunion, just how smooth
and ‐‐ and flawless

and ‐‐ and pitch‐perfect
y‐your harmonies are together,

it's clear that you guys
have been working together

for a long time.

And then on the other hand,
what the hell, Peedy?

There's no way
to put your finger on it.

That's just a‐a gift, man.
And I'm happy for you. Yeah.

Blake, who is the winner
of this battle?

Uh...

...the winner of this battle
is Peedy. There you have it!

That was a great battle.

I love The Joy Reunion.
But Peedy is just special.

Definitely think Peedy
has not only a chance

of winning this thing,

but he has a chance
of some kind of a crazy career

when this thing is over, also.

This is just
a very surreal moment,

and I'm so thankful
to be going forward.

It's very, very exciting.

Watch out, knockouts!
Whoo!

Coaches, let me remind you
that Joy Reunion

is available to steal.

Guys, what would like
to say to your coach?

We kind of viewed Peedy
as a son,

and I'm kind of
damn proud of him, you know?

Aww!
We feel really proud
of him. We love him.

So, thank you, guys.
Thank you.

Give it for The Joy Reunion!
