The Voice: The Battles, Part 2
♪ I need you to hold on ♪
♪ Heaven is a place
not too far away ♪
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
Ahhhhhh.
Wow, I don't know
that we've ever had
battles this good
before.
The winner
of this battle...
is Jeremy.
Great job.
Great job.
Coaches, let me remind you
Jershika is available to steal.
That is the sound
of a steal!
And there's another one!
Ariana Grande!
Come on!
Yes!
Oh, Lord! Oh, Lord!
Jershika, which coach
are you gonna pick?
Come on.
I would be so honored!
Come on.
I pick...
...John.
Thank you!
John Legend steals Jershika
from Kelly!
Yes!
And Jershika's going
to the knockouts!
I love Jershika's voice.
It's so soulful, so powerful.
Kelly, you better watch out.
You should not have
let Jershika go.
Whaaaaaa!
Whoo!
I am so excited to work with ‐‐
Please tell me.
They were great, though,
weren't they?
I love her.
You win some,
you lose some.
You're so good at
that stuff, man.
I still have my steal,
and I think the right thing will
happen when it's supposed to.
90 seconds out.
I spent my whole life singing
and I'm just committed
to this dream.
I don't want to go home yet!
Lana Scott!
I really want to win
this battle
because not being able
to turn a chair last year,
I feel like I have
a little more to prove.
Hailey Green!
When I hit that stage,
I'm gonna leave it all there.
Team DieLake.
Two of us now.
Can we not ‐‐
DieLake, I like it.
Team DieLake.
Are you excited?
I'm really excited.
Blake's my favorite
country male artist.
Yeah, mine too.
Hailey and Lana.
This is kind of
a cool combination.
Hailey's 15, I think?
You've done your research,
haven't you?
Hey, I've ‐‐ I've watched
the show, bro.
Yeah.
♪ H‐o‐o‐ome ♪
A‐ha ha ha!
Losers!
I was actually here
two seasons ago.
15 years old
singing with that much soul,
that's ‐‐ it's super cool. I
cannot wait to see what you do.
Thank you so much.
Lana sang some country.
♪ There's a hole in the bottle,
leakin' all this wine ♪
You have so much energy,
so much personality.
Whew!
That is country.
Oh!
Oh, here they are.
Wow!
What's up? This is
Dierks Bentley, you guys.
Great to meet you!
Yeah, nice to meet you.
If I could have my pick
of another male country artist
to be in the room,
I would have picked
Dierks Bentley.
Your version of "Hole in the
Bottle" was so good.
Thank you so much!
Nice to meet you.
Only being 15, I mean,
working with Blake Shelton
and Dierks Bentley,
that's a dream.
Dierks, I sang
"Drunk on a Plane"
when I was singing
on cruise ships,
but it was
"Drunk on a Ship."
That's amazing. It's a great way
to cut your teeth.
I took a gig on a cruise ship
early in my career.
I had like six days off
that whole year.
I don't want you to
ever have to sing on a
cruise ship ever again.
Let's get you off
the boat, on the stage.
I did cruise ships for
2 1/2 years.
We would learn 300 to 400 songs,
and we would do four hours
pretty consistently at night.
I'm really grateful
for all of that.
I really believe that
cruise ships
prepared me for "The Voice."
Maren Morris.
Maren's my favorite.
So Blake gave us "Girl"
by Maren Morris.
I can't believe
this is happening.
That's incredible record.
Yeah.
That's how I felt
about "Hillbilly Bone"
when I released it.
What was your favorite line,
Blake?
♪ Bone ba‐bone ba‐bone ♪
Uh ♪ Bone ba‐bone bone bone ♪
It's the easiest to remember.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Lyrically, I think that
nailed it.
On the Country Music Songwriting
Hall of Fame,
they're actually carving,
"Red, red, red."
Red, red, red.
This is a cool pairing
with this song,
I think, because Maren is, like,
as pop as it gets
in country music right now.
I feel blessed
that we have this song...
Yeah, yeah.
...because we get to sing
about empowering
each other.
It's like, yeah,
girls empowering girls.
♪ Man, it's
so unflatterin' ♪
I'm not used
to singing pop country,
and Lana has
a powerful country voice.
But this song,
it's about uplifting each other.
I think that's what
I kind of do back home.
I've been playing football
since I was five years old.
I am the only female on my team.
I will say my mom
was a little scared
because she didn't want
her little girl getting hurt.
But that first time
I stepped out
and took that first hit,
I was hooked.
I actually had
this little girl once say,
"I want to be just like you."
Just knowing that
there was someone out there
that thought that way about me,
it was ‐‐ it was really sweet.
♪ Won't you stop
your cryin'? ♪
Lana's voice has that
country edge to what she does.
We just don't really hear that
sound in female voices anymore.
♪ Don't you stop
your cryin' ♪
The thing that I love
about Hailey's voice
is that it's just so wild.
♪ Don't you lose
your halo ♪
At the same time,
it's in tune.
And Hailey's only 15 years old
and she's so talented.
Can't believe ‐‐ What were you
doin' when you were 15?
I had glasses
and a mullet.
Oh, goodness.
I've seen those pictures.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Hailey, your voice
has got this attack.
You kinda sing like you play
football, the intensity level,
it seems like you got it pegged
out on 10 right now, you know?
And there's parts of the song
that that's perfect
and brilliant and awesome,
and then there's parts of it
that I think you might be able
to dial it back.
And, Lana, there's a presence
that you have
that just puts
everybody in here at ease.
Mm‐hmm.
She lays way back behind
the phrasing, it's so cool.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You're almost laid
so far back
that she almost has to come in
on top of you.
You got to give her some room
to get in there, you know?
Totally.
So just keep that in mind.
I mean, these are two
of my favorite voices
I've heard so far.
It's a nice dichotomy?
Is that right?
Dichotomy?
Big word
for a country singer.
Seemed really comfortable.
If you can do it in here,
you can do it anywhere.
Both these girls,
they got that thing
that you can't put
your finger on,
and they have it
in totally different ways.
They could both go really far
on the show.
This is a tough one for Blake.
I don't envy him.
I don't want to lose
either one of you two.
Keep supporting each other
in this battle
to beat each other.
We're buds.
Yes.
Still to come...
♪ Yeah ♪
♪ Won't you stop
your cryin'? ♪
Your voices are insane.
...with three steals
and two saves in play...
Come back home!
...our coaches and advisers
work hard...
I want you to just have a moment
at the end.
...to prepare
their artists for battle.
I feel like it'd be so sick
if there was a section where
you guys were intentionally
having a riff battle.
Oh, yeah, I love that.

Alright.
What a performance.
Both of you are
such great singers.
Hailey, your power, your tone,
it just grabs you.
Just to see
you putting everything
into every single note,
it felt so good.
Thank you.
Lana,
I really love your tone.
I think there's a lot
of subtlety to it.
I like that songbird quality.
I don't think
this is an easy decision.
They're completely
different vocalists.
You couldn't go wrong
either way.
Yeah.
I actually think it's a perfect
song for both of you.
Lana, you held your own
because all the big notes,
it was so beautiful,
especially at the end.
You pierced through
in a different way.
Hailey, you were a cheetah
and someone was like
just taming you
or like trying to hold you back.
I'm so interested in what
the cheetah has to offer,
but if you pick Lana,
she's badass.
Not a lot of people are
stylists, and I think you are.
Thank you so much.
You both were so amazing,
and I enjoyed the different
textures, and it was exciting.
Lana, your voice
is so pure and sweet
and has a totally different
energy than Hailey's,
and yours is so colorful
and raw and rock 'n' roll.
It's not an easy thing here
that you're dealing with, Blake.
Thank you, Coaches.
Alright, Blake.
Final decision's yours, buddy.
Give us some thoughts
on the battle first.
Hailey literally plays
outside linebacker for her
high‐school football team.
That's so...tight.
Now you know why
she sings like that.
You can't hold the ‐‐ You can't
hold back the cheetah.
She's like, "Get out of my way!"
You can't hold her back.
And believe it or not, that was
actually Hailey dialed back.
And then, Lana,
you have this very completely
opposite voice from what
Hailey has ‐‐
a very sweet tone,
very country.
It's two different
points of view.
So thank both of you guys
for all the hard work.
Blake,
you got a tough one here.
Who is the winner
of this battle?
This is my least favorite
part of the show
'cause I just can't
take doing this, but...
The winner of this battle
is Hailey.
Hailey, congratulations. You're
moving on to the knockouts!
The thing that
intrigues me about Hailey
is that she's so young
and her voice is so powerful.
From a coaching standpoint,
she has all the elements.
She just needs to know how to
approach an actual performance
and ‐‐ and have some dynamics.
I'm looking forward
to workin' on those things.
Did you hear me screamin'?!
Yes, I heard you screaming.
Yes! Like the side of
a football field.
Go, go, go, go, go.
Yes, I heard you.
That's exactly
like the football field.
Coaches, let me remind you
that Lana's available
to steal or save.
Lana, anything you want
to say to Blake?
It's been a blessing that
you turned your chair for me.
My life has changed,
so thank you.
Give it up for Lana Scott one
more time, ladies and gentlemen!
Wait a minute, Lana!
You're not going anywhere.
We've got a save!
Blake Shelton
uses his only save...
Get your ass back on
that stage!
...for Lana Scott!
Alright.
I love the saves!
Blake, you got us all
on that one.
The only decision I had to make
was who I thought could handle
the 30‐second
broken heart better.
So I was never gonna
let you go.
Blake uses his save
for Lana.
We'll see her
in the knockouts!
I saved Lana because
she's got this raw talent,
and I know she wants this
so bad.
She's the kind of artist
that's gonna deliver
week after week.
I'm so excited to have
a female country artist
on my team this year.
I still have my steal,
and I really loved Kinsey Rose,
and I didn't want to have,
you know,
two of them in the same lane.
That's how I feel.
I just need to let it out.
They make me feel so good
when they get saved!
I almost started crying.
Yeah, the save is special.
I love the save.
My team's shapin' up to be
dynamite, incredible,
unstoppable.
Pressure's on.

'cause I wanna say ♪

The winner of this battle
is Libianca.
Libianca,
congratulations.
You're movin' on to
the knockouts
representing Team Blake!
I'm so happy for you.
Libianca just has
such a unique voice,
and her tone is so different,
and I'm interested to see
what songs she chooses
for these knockouts.
Great job!
Congratulations!
Ladies and gentlemen,
here we go.
My team is, I think,
the best team.
They're so talented.

The winner of this battle
is Xavier.
Xavier Cornell!
You're movin' on
to the knockouts!
Xavier ‐‐ he's just got
this voice
that you can kind of
throw anything at.
It could be pop,
- could be pop/
- R&B.
He's an incredibly gifted guy
that I think
is gonna surprise people
throughout the season.
Oh, my God!

Welcome back to the battles.
Who's got a steal left?
I have a steal.
You have a steal left.
I'm stealin' those pants.
Hey!
I knew you would!
Man, look at those things.
Those things are on point!
Whoo!
On my pants!
That's some kind of
like nighttime camo.
I like it.
Nighttime Camo should be
the name of your cologne.
Nighttime Camo?
By Blake Shelton.
Nighttime Camo!
So, our next team is Vaughn
and Katherine.
Let's do it.
Alright.
Their voices, their
energy, they're so special.
They were the hardest
I fought for anyb‐‐
I literally was like,
"I must have you."
Like, it was aggressive.
Oh, I can't wait.
How cute.
Whoo‐hoo!
Hi!
Oh, my God.
I could not think of
a better adviser for Ariana
to bring in other than
Kristin Chenoweth.
Hi. Oh, my gosh!
This is not real.
It is real!
It was Kristin.
She's a Broadway queen.
It's just mind‐blowing.
I'm speechless.
Y'all are like real
human beings. This is
just freaking me out.
Working with two of the most
technically inclined singers
in the industry right now,
it is a dream come true.
Ariana is such an inspiration
to me and my music.
So much so that on Halloween,
I actually dressed up
as her with my friend.
I grew up singing with
my sisters in musical theater.
In college, I studied psychology
and proceeded with my master's,
but the only thing
that I've really known
that I've wanted to do
ever has been music.
♪ Oh, we don't have to take
our clothes off ♪
♪ To have a good time ♪
It's not about her picking me
because she's a fan of me.
Okay.
This is about teaching you
what I know about the business
and producing.
Absolutely.
It's not just about
winning this show,
it's about building a lifelong
career for yourself.
To work with Ariana Grande,
the most vocally capable woman
I think exists, is so special.
How did you react to the
song choice? Do you like it?
Is it, like, too far
out of the wheelhouse?
Tell me everything.
We were so excited.
This really does depict how much
of a musician you are.
Oh, gosh.
I gave them "Dilemma"
by Nelly and Kelly Rowland.
I just thought you're gonna
make it more melodic
and more your own.
For me, the best surprise
of the whole experience
is watching what Ari
chose for y'all to do,
because there are
no more lanes.
We have the best coach.
Thank you.
When I found out it
was "Dilemma," I said,
"Oh, my gosh, no!
This is impossible!
Don't ‐‐ Don't ask this
of these people!"
What "The Voice" does better
than any show ‐‐
the coaches dare the contestants
to do it,
and they rise to the occasion.

and my whole family
loves music.
When my mom was pregnant,
my dad would always
serenade my mom.
And it brought so much joy

kept us all together.

I hope so.
Ariana as a coach,
I‐I'm like, mind‐blown,
like, with all, like,

teaching me, this is
my moment to shine.
We're crawling out
of our comfort zone

to the battle rounds.
It really gives me goose bumps.
I'm so excited.

You're being
very polite with it.
It's so cute.
Like, "It's my turn.
And now
it's Vaughn's turn."
As a viewer, I get so excited to
see you having that chemistry,
and then all of a sudden,
it's like awkward
and you walk
right past each other.
Spend a little bit more time
singing to each other
before you pass through
each other.

I love Nelly,
I love Kelly,
but I just don't expect to see
them in this setting.
But that was really fun.
I feel like it's cool
for a coach to take people
out of their comfort zone
a little bit
and see if they can handle it,
and both of you had,
I think, the enthusiasm and
the connection to each other.
Katherine,
you really stood out to me.
Your voice
was really compelling.
And if I were to pick,
I would pick Katherine.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
Katherine, I'll start with you.
Your voice cuts through,
which is really awesome for
a live performance setting.
Thank you so much.
And, Vaughn, you chose to
showcase yourself
in that higher falsetto
doing the higher harmony.
And I thought that ‐‐ it was
a really well‐matched battle.
But for some reason,
Vaughn, you stuck out to me.
Thank you so much.
It's interesting for me
to hear John
talk about you were gonna
be singing "Dilemma,"
because my thought was,
wow.
I can't wait to hear that song
for the first time.
Did you live
under a rock?!
This is an immensely
huge hit song.
Like, this was
a huge song.
There was a lot of rocks
where I lived.
Vaughn,
you had the warmer tone,
and bouncing off
what Kelly said,
it's amazing, I heard the exact
flip‐flop of that.
I felt like Katherine ‐‐
It's not amazing
that we disagree.
It's right on par.
I just felt like Katherine's
the one that gave it
that extra little bit.
Ari, you got
the final decision.
Give us some thoughts before
you tell us who won this battle.
That was so good!
The thing about Katherine is
you're so precise
and technically perfect.
So this was such
a stretch for you,
and you really surprised
the hell out of me tonight.
Thank you. Thank you.
Vaughn, I loved seeing you
step into
this completely new
persona...
Definitely.
...and your voice
is so sweet,
and what you offer here
is so incredible
and this is really
difficult for me.
Ariana,
it's a tough decision.
Who is the winner
of this battle?
Oh, my God.
The winner of this battle
is Katherine Ann.
Katherine Ann Mohler,
congratulations!
You're movin' on to the
knockouts for Team Ariana!
Katherine is such
an incredible student for music.
I'm so proud of you.
What the hell?
Where did that come from?
This was such a far step
out of her comfort zone
that I had to go with her.
Congratulations.
Thank you. Thank you.
Vaughn, anything you want to say
to Ariana?
Thank you
for this opportunity
just for, you know,
being able to work with you.
One thing's for sure ‐‐
I have an amazing story
for my patients.
Give it up one more time
for Vaughn Mugol!
This was really hard for me
because Vaughn
has been one of my favorites
this whole time.
You're so
incredibly talented.
I really wish
I could have had another save.
Oh, my God.
That surprised me.
I know.
It's surprised me, too.

Welcome back to the battles.
BrittanyBree,
you are battling Samara Brown.
Yes! Yes!
Oh, my God.
We're gonna kill this.
How old is
your youngest baby?
Three.
So I have five and three.
I bet they're hilarious.
Luna's a lot like Chrissy.
Some things, like, she just is
her mom in some ways.
Totally.
It's so wild to see that.
Oh, my goodness!
Hi!
Hello, hello.
Camila Cabello's here!
Hi!
Hi!
How are you?
Good.
Camila Cabello
is the perfect adviser.
She's a big star.
And also, she's been
in a singing competition.
Her advice is gonna be relevant
to our current situation here.
Look how excited they are
to see you, Camila.
You guys have
such great energy.
So they're gonna sing
"Something He Can Feel."
Ooh!
Aretha sang it.
En Vogue sang it.
And, uh, I'm excited
for you all to do it.
BrittanyBree has never done
secular music before here.
Wow.
Did you listen to
secular music, or no?
Oh, I listen to it.
I just...
Okay, got it,
got it, got it.

John.
Yes!
I'm definitely here
at "The Voice"
because of my Uncle Duane.
He traveled all over the world
singing at different churches,
and he passed away last year.
If he was alive today,
I think that he would be
so proud of me.

Hey!
Thinking more about the lyrics
and how it relates to my life.
I've had many instances
in my life with women
who weren't sure about the love
that they felt for me.
I was kind of given
that 50% type of love,
where I was giving 100%,
and it was very heartbreaking.
♪ Love is real ♪
Whoo!
I'm standing up.
Me, too. Damn!
It's gonna be
soooooooo good.
I can't wait.
For real.
Both of you have
such presence,
and you can just
straight‐up sing.
But, Samara, there was so much
deviation from the melody
that I kind of lost it
sometimes.
You want to give them
that sense of familiarity...
Right.
...while also putting
your own individuality on it.
So it's like
a matter of balance.
Yep.
I was on a singing
competition show, too.
I remember I was like,
"This is my time to, like,
show myself."
Get it all out.
"I want to change
every single melody.
I want to add a million riffs."
But I think
when you do too many riffs,
it's kind of hard to hear.
My sister, Amanda Brown,
was on "The Voice" in Season 3.
I wanted to be on the stage
where she was.
♪ Oh, oh, sweet thing ♪
To be here now, the stakes
are so much higher.
For once,
I'm at the center stage.
I'm trying to prove
that I deserve to be here.
BrittanyBree, I know this is
new territory for you,
singing this kind of music,
but just think about
what the lyric is,
who you might be
singing that to...
Ooh, yes.
...and what you want
that person to feel.
This is what Aretha did,
you know?
Yeah.
Like, Aretha was born
and raised in the church.
Yes, yes.
Her father was a preacher,
and she took who she was
and applied it to pop music,
and that's why she's the queen.
Like, your past
and this present right now
are ‐‐ are not, like,
two separate things,
'cause you're bringing
that church and that big soul
that you have
into these kinds of songs.
And that's something that
we don't have right now.
You know?
We need it.
And we need it,
and that makes you
really special.

Samara ‐‐ I love
her tone of voice,
the way
that she moves her body.
These two singing this song ‐‐
it might be
the best of the night.
Let's figure out
that ending.
I think we need
more of a moment.
Because you guys are such
powerhouse singers,
I feel like it'd be so sick
arrangement‐wise
if there was a section
where you guys were
intentionally having a riff battle.
Oh, yeah, I love that.
If you have a real plan
going in,
and you go out there
and sing with the ability
both of you have,
it will be the best
battle performance.
Yeah.
Okay?
Okay.
Thank you.
Thank you.
It's gonna be so good!
Oh, it's so good.
Thank you.
This is gonna be
a soulful, sultry battle,

crazy voices.
Oh.
Alright, more battles to come.
I still have a steal.
This is gonna be good.
My name is Blake Shelton,
and I still have my steal.

Alright, alright!

That's one of my

not just to listen to,
but to sing.
Your voices are insane.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Like, I mean,
BrittanyBree,
your voice,
it kind of reminds me like,
you know how Tina has kind of
rock 'n' roll soul,
but then like Andra Day ‐‐
like, it has a little
bit of that, too.
I loved every minute
you had your mouth open.
Mm‐hmm.
Samara, wow!
It was this tug‐of‐war
of me going,
"Who am I gonna
tell John to pick?"
And I was like,
I don't care about John.
What I care about...
Ouch!
...is one of you
is gonna be
available to steal.
I loved it. I loved it.
Thank you.
I was just
so blown away.
This is the moment
right here
where people can either kind
of buckle under the pressure
or they step up
and they become a star.
You both just really owned
the moment and the stage.
Thank you.
I have been obsessed with
you both since the blinds.
You're both so spectacular,
and your tones are so different.
And yet they complement
each other so beautifully.
And I don't think anyone
outsang the other.
From your stage presence
to your gorgeous looks ‐‐
I'm dying.
Thank you.
So, I cannot help you here.
Good luck.
Thank you, Coaches.
Alright, John,
you got the final decision.
Give us some
thoughts first.
Well, I always tell
my artists,
"I want both of you
to go out here
and be your absolute
best selves
so that either I'm gonna
save you or one of these coaches
are going to try to steal you
from me," and you ‐‐
I know what y'all
are gonna try to do.
What?
I know.
Samara, when I gave you
coaching notes ‐‐
make sure you still
stay true somewhat
to what
the songwriter wrote ‐‐
it was exactly the way
it needed to be.
Thank you.
BrittanyBree, that stank
you got on your voice,
that hits me
right in my heart.
And for you to have
never sung secular music
prior to coming
to "The Voice,"
for you to deliver it
with the passion,
with the personality,
with the charisma that you did,
you did exactly
what you were supposed to do.
I love both of you
so much,
and it's a very
difficult decision.
John, the time has come.
Who is the winner
of this battle?
The winner
of this battle is...
...BrittanyBree.
BrittanyBree,
congratulations!
Moving on to knockouts!
BrittanyBree ‐‐ every note
that came out of her mouth
was perfect, but I truly could
have gone either way.
I did not want
to let go of either of them.
Great job!
Coaches, let me remind you
that Samara is available
to steal or save ‐‐
Oh, we got a steal!
That's the sound of a save!
That's the sound
of another steal!
Come on home.
I was first!
Come back home!
Wow!
Did you sense that hesitation
that he had?
Oh, my God.
He did hesitate.
He hesitated.
You know exactly
what I was planning to do.
Let's start with Ariana.
What did you hear in Samara?
You know that I adore you.
I said backstage beforehand,
I have one steal, and if I were
gonna use it on anyone,
I would use it on Samara,
and that's the truth.
Wow. I mean, he hesitated, too.
He hesitated.
Oh, please. Please.
Kelly, why do you want
to steal her?
I just think you are such
a gifted vocalist.
You're a blessing to this show
if you stay with your coach
or if you go to
the right team ‐‐ mine.
I‐I would love to be
your coach.
You would look so cute
in my turquoise jacket.
I'm just saying.
John, excellent steal
opportunities for Samara.
Why would you like
to use your one and only save?
I truly love working with you,
and every once in a while,
we put two people together
that you're like,
"Man, I should have never
put them together."
You two are, like,
some of the best talent
in the entire
competition ‐‐ period.
Thank you.
I would feel so blessed
and fortunate
to continue coaching you,
and I hope you pick me, please.
Alright, Samara.
The decision is yours.
I pressed
my button first, what?
Who do you pick
as your coach?
Come on home!
Come on home.
Come on, Samara!
Come on, Samara!
Come on! Come on!
This is impossible.
Please, Samara!
I just want to say thank you
to all of you.
I'm gonna choose John.
Yes!
John Legend...
I'm so happy!
...uses his one and only save!
You really were perfect.
I had to save Samara.
She flawlessly performed
"Something He Can Feel."
Great job!
Ariana and Kelly
put their best foot forward
and tried to make that steal.
But I was gonna fight
for Samara, and I did.
Nice try, ladies.
Oh, I love her.
She's cool.
Yes.
I'm so happy
we're back together.
Me too!

Coaches, let me remind you
Jershika is available to steal.
That is the sound
of a steal!
And there's another one!
Ariana Grande!
Come on!
Yes!
Oh, Lord! Oh, Lord!
Jershika, which coach
are you gonna pick?
Come on.
I would be so honored!

I love Jershika's voice.
It's so soulful, so powerful.
Kelly, you better watch out.
You should not have

Please tell me.

Yeah, nice to meet you.
If I could have my pick
of another male country artist
to be in the room,
I would have picked
Dierks Bentley.
Your version of "Hole in the
Bottle" was so good.
Thank you so much!
Nice to meet you.
Only being 15, I mean,
working with Blake Shelton
and Dierks Bentley,
that's a dream.
Dierks, I sang
"Drunk on a Plane"
when I was singing
on cruise ships,
but it was
"Drunk on a Ship."
That's amazing. It's a great way
to cut your teeth.
I took a gig on a cruise ship
early in my career.
I had like six days off
that whole year.
I don't want you to
ever have to sing on a
cruise ship ever again.
Let's get you off
the boat, on the stage.
I did cruise ships for
2 1/2 years.
We would learn 300 to 400 songs,
and we would do four hours
pretty consistently at night.
I'm really grateful
for all of that.
I really believe that
cruise ships
prepared me for "The Voice."
Maren Morris.
Maren's my favorite.
So Blake gave us "Girl"
by Maren Morris.
I can't believe
this is happening.
That's incredible record.
Yeah.
That's how I felt
about "Hillbilly Bone"
when I released it.

Blake?

Lyrically, I think that
nailed it.
On the Country Music Songwriting
Hall of Fame,
they're actually carving,
"Red, red, red."
Red, red, red.
This is a cool pairing
with this song,
I think, because Maren is, like,
as pop as it gets
in country music right now.
I feel blessed
that we have this song...
Yeah, yeah.
...because we get to sing
about empowering
each other.

I kind of do back home.
I've been playing football
since I was five years old.
I am the only female on my team.
I will say my mom
was a little scared
because she didn't want
her little girl getting hurt.
But that first time
I stepped out
and took that first hit,
I was hooked.
I actually had
this little girl once say,
"I want to be just like you."

and a mullet.
Oh, goodness.

Yeah.
Yeah.
Hailey, your voice
has got this attack.
You kinda sing like you play
football, the intensity level,
it seems like you got it pegged
out on 10 right now, you know?
And there's parts of the song
that that's perfect
and brilliant and awesome,
and then there's parts of it
that I think you might be able
to dial it back.
And, Lana, there's a presence
that you have
that just puts
everybody in here at ease.
Mm‐hmm.
She lays way back behind
the phrasing, it's so cool.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You're almost laid
so far back
that she almost has to come in
on top of you.
You got to give her some room
to get in there, you know?
Totally.
So just keep that in mind.
I mean, these are two
of my favorite voices
I've heard so far.
It's a nice dichotomy?
Is that right?
Dichotomy?
Big word
for a country singer.
Seemed really comfortable.
If you can do it in here,
you can do it anywhere.
Both these girls,
they got that thing
that you can't put
your finger on,
and they have it
in totally different ways.
They could both go really far

Alright.
What a performance.
Both of you are
such great singers.
Hailey, your power, your tone,
it just grabs you.
Just to see
you putting everything
into every single note,
it felt so good.
Thank you.
Lana,
I really love your tone.
I think there's a lot
of subtlety to it.
I like that songbird quality.
I don't think
this is an easy decision.
They're completely
different vocalists.
You couldn't go wrong
either way.
Yeah.
I actually think it's a perfect
song for both of you.
Lana, you held your own
because all the big notes,
it was so beautiful,
especially at the end.
You pierced through
in a different way.
Hailey, you were a cheetah
and someone was like
just taming you
or like trying to hold you back.
I'm so interested in what
the cheetah has to offer,
but if you pick Lana,
she's badass.
Not a lot of people are
stylists, and I think you are.
Thank you so much.
You both were so amazing,
and I enjoyed the different
textures, and it was exciting.
Lana, your voice
is so pure and sweet
and has a totally different
energy than Hailey's,
and yours is so colorful
and raw and rock 'n' roll.
It's not an easy thing here
that you're dealing with, Blake.
Thank you, Coaches.
Alright, Blake.
Final decision's yours, buddy.
Give us some thoughts
on the battle first.
Hailey literally plays
outside linebacker for her
high‐school football team.
That's so...tight.
Now you know why
she sings like that.
You can't hold the ‐‐ You can't
hold back the cheetah.
She's like, "Get out of my way!"
You can't hold her back.
And believe it or not, that was
actually Hailey dialed back.
And then, Lana,
you have this very completely
opposite voice from what
Hailey has ‐‐
a very sweet tone,
very country.
It's two different
points of view.
So thank both of you guys
for all the hard work.
Blake,
you got a tough one here.
Who is the winner
of this battle?
This is my least favorite
part of the show
'cause I just can't
take doing this, but...
The winner of this battle
is Hailey.
Hailey, congratulations. You're
moving on to the knockouts!
The thing that
intrigues me about Hailey
is that she's so young
and her voice is so powerful.
From a coaching standpoint,
she has all the elements.
She just needs to know how to
approach an actual performance
and ‐‐ and have some dynamics.
I'm looking forward
to workin' on those things.
Did you hear me screamin'?!
Yes, I heard you screaming.
Yes! Like the side of
a football field.
Go, go, go, go, go.
Yes, I heard you.
That's exactly
like the football field.
Coaches, let me remind you
that Lana's available
to steal or save.
Lana, anything you want
to say to Blake?
It's been a blessing that
you turned your chair for me.
My life has changed,
so thank you.
Give it up for Lana Scott one
more time, ladies and gentlemen!
Wait a minute, Lana!
You're not going anywhere.
We've got a save!
Blake Shelton
uses his only save...
Get your ass back on
that stage!
...for Lana Scott!
Alright.
I love the saves!
Blake, you got us all
on that one.
The only decision I had to make
was who I thought could handle
the 30‐second
broken heart better.
So I was never gonna
let you go.
Blake uses his save
for Lana.
We'll see her
in the knockouts!
I saved Lana because
she's got this raw talent,
and I know she wants this
so bad.
She's the kind of artist
that's gonna deliver
week after week.
I'm so excited to have
a female country artist
on my team this year.
I still have my steal,
and I really loved Kinsey Rose,
and I didn't want to have,
you know,
two of them in the same lane.
That's how I feel.
I just need to let it out.
They make me feel so good

Libianca just has

Great job!
Congratulations!

Xavier ‐‐ he's just got
this voice
that you can kind of
throw anything at.
It could be pop,

He's an incredibly gifted guy

is gonna surprise people

Welcome back to the battles.
Who's got a steal left?
I have a steal.
You have a steal left.
I'm stealin' those pants.

I knew you would!
Man, look at those things.
Those things are on point!
Whoo!

Nighttime Camo!
So, our next team is Vaughn
and Katherine.
Let's do it.
Alright.
Their voices, their
energy, they're so special.
They were the hardest
I fought for anyb‐‐
I literally was like,
"I must have you."
Like, it was aggressive.
Oh, I can't wait.
How cute.
Whoo‐hoo!
Hi!
Oh, my God.
I could not think of
a better adviser for Ariana
to bring in other than
Kristin Chenoweth.
Hi. Oh, my gosh!
This is not real.
It is real!
It was Kristin.
She's a Broadway queen.
It's just mind‐blowing.
I'm speechless.
Y'all are like real
human beings. This is
just freaking me out.
Working with two of the most
technically inclined singers
in the industry right now,
it is a dream come true.
Ariana is such an inspiration
to me and my music.
So much so that on Halloween,
I actually dressed up
as her with my friend.
I grew up singing with
my sisters in musical theater.
In college, I studied psychology
and proceeded with my master's,
but the only thing
that I've really known
that I've wanted to do
ever has been music.
♪ Oh, we don't have to take
our clothes off ♪

It's not about her picking me
because she's a fan of me.
Okay.
This is about teaching you
what I know about the business
and producing.
Absolutely.
It's not just about
winning this show,
it's about building a lifelong
career for yourself.
To work with Ariana Grande,
the most vocally capable woman
I think exists, is so special.
How did you react to the
song choice? Do you like it?
Is it, like, too far
out of the wheelhouse?
Tell me everything.
We were so excited.
This really does depict how much
of a musician you are.
Oh, gosh.
I gave them "Dilemma"
by Nelly and Kelly Rowland.
I just thought you're gonna
make it more melodic
and more your own.
For me, the best surprise
of the whole experience
is watching what Ari
chose for y'all to do,
because there are
no more lanes.
We have the best coach.
Thank you.
When I found out it
was "Dilemma," I said,
"Oh, my gosh, no!
This is impossible!
Don't ‐‐ Don't ask this
of these people!"
What "The Voice" does better
than any show ‐‐
the coaches dare the contestants
to do it,
and they rise to the occasion.

but I just don't expect to see
them in this setting.
But that was really fun.
I feel like it's cool
for a coach to take people
out of their comfort zone
a little bit
and see if they can handle it,
and both of you had,
I think, the enthusiasm and
the connection to each other.
Katherine,
you really stood out to me.
Your voice
was really compelling.
And if I were to pick,
I would pick Katherine.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
Katherine, I'll start with you.
Your voice cuts through,
which is really awesome for
a live performance setting.
Thank you so much.
And, Vaughn, you chose to
showcase yourself
in that higher falsetto
doing the higher harmony.
And I thought that ‐‐ it was
a really well‐matched battle.
But for some reason,
Vaughn, you stuck out to me.
Thank you so much.
It's interesting for me
to hear John
talk about you were gonna
be singing "Dilemma,"
because my thought was,
wow.
I can't wait to hear that song
for the first time.
Did you live
under a rock?!
This is an immensely
huge hit song.
Like, this was
a huge song.
There was a lot of rocks
where I lived.
Vaughn,
you had the warmer tone,
and bouncing off
what Kelly said,
it's amazing, I heard the exact
flip‐flop of that.
I felt like Katherine ‐‐
It's not amazing
that we disagree.
It's right on par.
I just felt like Katherine's
the one that gave it
that extra little bit.
Ari, you got
the final decision.
Give us some thoughts before
you tell us who won this battle.
That was so good!
The thing about Katherine is
you're so precise
and technically perfect.
So this was such
a stretch for you,
and you really surprised
the hell out of me tonight.
Thank you. Thank you.
Vaughn, I loved seeing you
step into
this completely new
persona...
Definitely.
...and your voice
is so sweet,
and what you offer here
is so incredible
and this is really
difficult for me.
Ariana,
it's a tough decision.
Who is the winner
of this battle?
Oh, my God.
The winner of this battle
is Katherine Ann.
Katherine Ann Mohler,
congratulations!
You're movin' on to the
knockouts for Team Ariana!
Katherine is such
an incredible student for music.
I'm so proud of you.
What the hell?
Where did that come from?
This was such a far step
out of her comfort zone
that I had to go with her.
Congratulations.
Thank you. Thank you.
Vaughn, anything you want to say
to Ariana?
Thank you
for this opportunity
just for, you know,
being able to work with you.
One thing's for sure ‐‐
I have an amazing story
for my patients.
Give it up one more time
for Vaughn Mugol!
This was really hard for me
because Vaughn
has been one of my favorites
this whole time.
You're so
incredibly talented.
I really wish
I could have had another save.
Oh, my God.
That surprised me.
I know.

Both of you have
such presence,
and you can just
straight‐up sing.
But, Samara, there was so much
deviation from the melody
that I kind of lost it
sometimes.
You want to give them
that sense of familiarity...
Right.
...while also putting
your own individuality on it.
So it's like
a matter of balance.
Yep.
I was on a singing
competition show, too.
I remember I was like,
"This is my time to, like,
show myself."
Get it all out.
"I want to change
every single melody.
I want to add a million riffs."
But I think
when you do too many riffs,
it's kind of hard to hear.

new territory for you,
singing this kind of music,
but just think about
what the lyric is,
who you might be
singing that to...
Ooh, yes.
...and what you want

This is what Aretha did,
you know?
Yeah.
Like, Aretha was born
and raised in the church.
Yes, yes.

...is one of you
is gonna be

Alright, John,
you got the final decision.

thoughts first.
Well, I always tell
my artists,
"I want both of you
to go out here
and be your absolute
best selves
so that either I'm gonna
save you or one of these coaches
are going to try to steal you
from me," and you ‐‐
I know what y'all
are gonna try to do.
What?
I know.
Samara, when I gave you
coaching notes ‐‐
make sure you still
stay true somewhat
to what
the songwriter wrote ‐‐
it was exactly the way
it needed to be.
Thank you.
BrittanyBree, that stank
you got on your voice,
that hits me
right in my heart.
And for you to have
never sung secular music
prior to coming
to "The Voice,"
for you to deliver it
with the passion,
with the personality,
with the charisma that you did,
you did exactly
what you were supposed to do.
I love both of you
so much,
and it's a very
difficult decision.
John, the time has come.

of this battle?
The winner
of this battle is...
...BrittanyBree.
BrittanyBree,
congratulations!

BrittanyBree ‐‐ every note
that came out of her mouth
was perfect, but I truly could

Coaches, let me remind you
that Samara is available
to steal or save ‐‐
Oh, we got a steal!
That's the sound of a save!
That's the sound
of another steal!
Come on home.
I was first!
Come back home!
Wow!

that he had?
Oh, my God.
He did hesitate.
He hesitated.
You know exactly
what I was planning to do.
Let's start with Ariana.
What did you hear in Samara?
You know that I adore you.
I said backstage beforehand,
I have one steal, and if I were
gonna use it on anyone,
I would use it on Samara,
and that's the truth.
Wow. I mean, he hesitated, too.
He hesitated.
Oh, please. Please.
Kelly, why do you want
to steal her?
I just think you are such
a gifted vocalist.
You're a blessing to this show
if you stay with your coach
or if you go to
the right team ‐‐ mine.
I‐I would love to be
your coach.
You would look so cute
in my turquoise jacket.
I'm just saying.
John, excellent steal
opportunities for Samara.
Why would you like
to use your one and only save?
I truly love working with you,
and every once in a while,
we put two people together
that you're like,
"Man, I should have never
put them together."
You two are, like,
some of the best talent
in the entire
competition ‐‐ period.
Thank you.
I would feel so blessed
and fortunate
to continue coaching you,
and I hope you pick me, please.
Alright, Samara.
The decision is yours.
I pressed
my button first, what?
Who do you pick
as your coach?
Come on home!
Come on home.
Come on, Samara!
Come on, Samara!
Come on! Come on!
This is impossible.
Please, Samara!
I just want to say thank you
to all of you.
I'm gonna choose John.
Yes!
John Legend...
I'm so happy!
...uses his one and only save!
You really were perfect.
I had to save Samara.
She flawlessly performed
"Something He Can Feel."
Great job!
Ariana and Kelly
put their best foot forward
and tried to make that steal.
But I was gonna fight
for Samara, and I did.
Nice try, ladies.
Oh, I love her.
She's cool.
Yes.
I'm so happy
we're back together.
Me too!
