uys.
Yeah!
Give it up for our coaches ‐‐
Kelly Clarkson,
John Legend...
Yes!
...Ariana Grande,
and Blake Shelton!
[ Cheers and applause ]
Alright. Hi, coaches.
Hi, Ariana Grande.
Hello, Carson.
I want to know if you have
a strategy in mind.
I don't necessarily
have a strategy,
I just am emotionally
very distraught
'cause I love my team
so much.
Follow your gut,
follow your heart.
Or I can just, you know,
run home.
No, you can't do that.
We need you.
I literally
just leave.
You can buy other people's
steals from them, too.
Blake, no, you cannot.
Your best strategy
is to not listen to Blake.
Amen.
Blake, are you threatened by
any one of them in particular?
[ Laughs ]
No.
Thank you, Blake.
Yeah.
Kelly, we know your least
favorite part of the battles
is saying goodbye
to half your team.
This is my best team
overall of any season...
Right.
...so it doesn't really
get easier.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Why are you clappingfor her?
That's what happens
when people like you.
I know you don't know
the sound.
[ Laughs ]
Ouch.
Daly: Alright, let's do it.
Thank you, coaches.
Yeah!
♪
This is great.
We're so lucky
to have you here, Camila.
Oh, thank you for having me.
It's an honor.
Sounds like
a female's voice.
I can't tell who it is.
I know.
Camila:
Is it okay if I always say,
"That's some legendary
behavior"?
I think
the use of this pun...
It's great.
...has been approved.
Like, I feel like even if
they all get T‐shirts ‐‐
"Legendary behavior."
Oh, I love it.
I'm gonna hire you
for marketing, too.
Hey.
Let's go.
Ready? I didn't think I was,
like, gonna be nervous.
Yeah.
But now that it's here,
I am a little bit nervous,
I got to say.
Feels very real.
Alright. So now we've got
Keilah and Joshua.
These are both singers
with big voices.
Joshua sang
♪ Into the unknown
Whoa.
♪ Into the unknown
I blocked Ariana,
'cause I knew
she would like him.
Very complicated
situation.
It's complicated.
So she was mad at you?
Perhaps mad at me.
Dang.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
And then Keilah was
a three‐chair turn.
Dang, Keilah.
Fantastic voice.
♪ I was standing
With so much charisma
and energy.
I think
she's 15 years old.
Oh, my God.
That's the same age I was
when I was on a singing show.
Oh, my God. So you'll
completely relate to her.
I'm excited to introduce
them to you.
I think they're gonna flip
when they see you.
Sick.
Hello!
‐Hello.
‐Hi!
Look who's here.
Oh, my God.
Camila's here!
Hi!
Seeing Camila Cabello
was a total shock.
I was shook.
So nice to meet you.
To have these two powerhouses
in the industry
helping us is amazing.
And having a mentor
that is in that pop world
but also is able to be
super individual is really cool
'cause that's what
I'm aiming to be.
She's experienced so much
in our business...
Yeah.
...from being
on a competition show,
being in a group
where harmony is important...
Yeah.
...and then being a really
successful solo artist as well.
Yeah.
Keilah: It's really inspiring
that she started
when she was my age
on a singing show.
Now she's this name and she's
on the charts all the time.
That's, like, one of
my biggest dreams.
I've been singing basically
all of my life.
My whole family sings.
We're kind of like a modern‐day
Partridge Family.
When I was 12, I started
gigging a lot in New York City
and I got to sing my song
"Somehow" at iHeartRadio.
The tagline is,
"You'll get there somehow,"
like chasing your dream
and not letting go.
And I feel like this is
a really good testament
to that song.
It's crazy.
I feel really blessed
to be here.
We've got a really fun,
big, hit song right now
called "good 4 u"
that you guys are gonna do.
I love this song.
It's on my playlist.
Good!
So we picked the right one.
Think you don't
know this song
unless you live under a rock
right now.
I know.
It's quite popular.
I am super excited
about singing this song.
I get to highlight the rockier
part of my voice.
♪ Remember when you said you
wanted to give me the world? ♪
Okay.
Hey!
John: Keilah and Joshua ‐‐
they both have piercing voices,
and I have them singing
this powerful,
energetic Olivia Rodrigo song.
♪ Brand‐new gi‐i‐i‐rl
Hey!
John: It has, like, that drama
and the theatrical vibe
that I felt like both
Joshua and Keilah could do.
♪ Good for you,
you're doing great out there ♪
Camila: Keilah ‐‐ when she's
singing the verse,
she has this really nice
pop tone,
but then she can also
really sing.
It 's kind
of like the same thing
Ariana can do.
Both:
♪ ...floor of my bathroom
Joshua ‐‐
he can really belt and have
this really dramatic,
almost theatrical vibrato.
♪ Oh
Whoo!
Okay. [ Laughs ]
Keilah: Yeah, dawg.
Whoo! It was high.
Ah!
Yes. You got it,
though, man.
I felt that.
I can only dream of
singing notes that high.
I love the personality,
especially in the verses.
♪ Woooorld
Yes, that.
Like, the almost, like,
Broadway‐ish vibrato
on a pop song gave me, like,
- Queen/
- Freddie Mercury vibes.
Yes!
The drama of it ‐‐
I loved it.
Keilah, it's so cool
when you do that, like,
♪ Oh, yeah‐ah‐ah‐oh
I think you should
keep digging into that.
Okay.
It's gonna be great,
It's a lot of words
to mouth, I know.
Obviously, it could get
really messy.
We want you to be,
like, emotional
and in it and dynamic
and all those things.
But the technique of it all
needs to come through as well.
So get these lyrics
in your heart
so it's like breathing
to you.
When I played Jesus
in "Jesus Christ Superstar,"
literally I was dreaming
these lyrics.
So they're so a part of you
that you can free yourself
to be fully in the moment.
This song has so much rage,
it would almost be interesting
if, like, onstage and stuff,
you guys are, like,
singing it to each other.
Yes!
Like arguing.
That would be
kind of cool.
Be mad at each other.
Be mad at each other.
You've just gone through
a tough breakup.
Joshua: I definitely feel like
I'm being pushed.
It's a super‐high‐energy song,
and I don't connect
to the lyrics
because I am thankfully
in a very happy relationship.
In high school,
I actually met my wife
through,
like, c
horus and band.
We gig out as a duo,
but then we're also
in a worship band
called Direct Worship
with my family.
I am very shy
in my personal life,
so music has always been
a really big outlet
and something that brings me
so much joy.
♪ Maybe I'm too emotional
Hey!
♪ But your apathy's
like a wound in salt ♪
I could go onstage,
and I could be that superstar
that I was in my bedroom
singing into a hairbrush.
Both: ♪ I've lost my mind,
I've spent the night ♪
Joshua: I want to win
this battle for my wife,
and I also want to win it
for the people
that said that I couldn't do it
and have doubted me
and said
I'm not mainstream enough.
I'm ready to just be free
and just live out
the rock‐star dream.
♪ Never cared at all
This could be probably one
of my favorites of the night
if they fully commit.
♪ Like a damn sociopath
Whoo!
I think the more they can
thrash around and jump around,
they should be exhausted
by the end of it.
Damn! Energy!
Whoo!
I do not need
a coffee today.
Oh, my God.
It's like a workout.
Yeah!
It's a workout
watching, too.
I know.
It's like, oh, my God.
You're like, aahhh!
[ Laughter ]
I don't think
I've ever coached a song
with anywhere near
this level of energy in it.
And I think the audience
is gonna be like,
you know, jolted by it.
'Cause it's such
a high‐energy song,
make crazy sounds before
you go onstage
and like, "Whooooo!"
so that that energy ‐‐
it's not, like, here
and it's more here.
Release.
And also another thing ‐‐ going
on the treadmill and singing
for like 15
minutes helps
with getting your stamina ready.
Whoo!
This is, like,
expert‐level coaching.
Camila's boot camp
is coming together here.
Well, this is all
the legendary behavior.
Oh, my goodness.
Let's do it!
Come on.
‐Whoo!
‐Yeah!
John:
This song is so challenging.
It's high.
It's fast‐paced.
Hey, hey! Hey, hey!
So I'm gonna be watching to see
who rises to this moment.
I can't wait to see
Blake's face
when this happens.
He's gonna be like,
"What is happening?"
Keilah: There's definitely
a lot of work left,
but I'm gonna keep working.
I've been doing the song
while doing different exercises
like Camila said to do.
I want to show John,
even though I'm 15,
I can still perform
like a rock star, yeah!
Man: Stand by everyone.
John:
I'm so ready for this.
♪ Who got you,
well, screw that ♪
Keilah and Joshua ‐‐
I love seeing the progress.
We talked about being theatrical
and getting into character.
Perfect!
And they're
really embracing that.
Yeah!
♪ Ah
Yes!
That was amazing.
The two of them are gonna
be neck and neck,
and it's gonna be
a tough decision.
I love what you all are doing
physically with each other.
It's just gonna be
a matter of execution
when it comes to the vocal.
I'm so excited
for this performance
It's gonna knock
the other coaches' socks off.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Let's go!

[ Cheers and applause ]
I love it!
Whoo!
Yeah!
[ Cheers and applause ]
I mean, they're, like,
still screaming for it.
Joshua, Keilah, what's up?!
That was so good.
Girlfriend, like, the notes
you're hitting, like ‐‐
I mean, you're just
in the rafters,
and how you were holding down
that hig
her harm
ony ‐‐ w
hoo!
That was really
incredibly done.
Thank you so much.
And, I mean, Joshua,
your range ‐‐ it's incredible.
It was actually
a really fun pairing.
I did not
expect that to happen.
I had no idea what was
gonna [Laughs] happen.
I think both of you
did a great job.
I'm gonna have to say,
'cause I even turned for Keilah,
but, Joshua,
you surprised me.
And honestly, it was
when you said "emotional."
I don't know what the hell
you did,
but I was like,
"Okay, Joshua."
[ Laughs ]
It was so good.
Thank you, Kelly.
[ Cheers and applause ]
I'm not sure what just happened
on the stage,
but I feel like
it happened so quickly,
I'm gonna have to
watch this on TV
and, like,
put it in slow motion
to try to take
it al
l in.Proces s.
I told you guys, you're gonna
blow Blake's mind.
He would not know
what to do.
You fried it.
You fried my brain.
I gotta say, Joshua,
what the hell, dude?
I mean, that was crazy.
You both sounded great, but from
a performance standpoint,
I don't know that I've ever
seen anything like that.
I would have to
pick Joshua.
Thank you, Blake.
That was so exciting
and entertaining and infectious.
Something simpatico
is happening here.
But, Joshua,
you know I love you.
I'm obsessed with you.
I have been from the beginning.
I loved what you brought
to this song.
But, Keilah, between your range
and your control for your age
and your energy,
I couldn't stop watching you.
And I
know I'm like
the odd man out,
but I would lean towards you
in this case.
I loved that performance,
though, and you're both ‐‐
I'm obsessed.
It was wonderful.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
Daly: Thank you, coaches.
John, you got
the final decision.
Give us some thoughts before you
tell us who won the battle.
You all knocked it
out of the park.
It was so energetic, so fun,
and as I predicted,
you blew Blake's mind.
Fried my brain.
Joshua, what I loved
about your performance
was the additional little sauce
that you put on
some of those notes ‐‐
♪ The world ‐‐
when you sing that
in that first verse
and then the "emotional."
People are like,
"What's he gonna do next?
And it's really cool.
Keilah, you did exactly
what you were supposed to do
in this moment.
And for you to be 15
and tackle something
as emotionally angsty
as this song
and do it so well
was so impressive.
I loved it.
You're so good.
Thank you so much.
Mm‐hmm.
Daly:
John, the time has come.
Who's the winner
of this battle?
John:
Both of you made me proud.
I felt so fortunate
to be your coach.
The winner of this battle...
is Joshua.
Daly:
Joshua, congratulations.
Thank you, John.
You're moving on to knockouts
for Team Legend.
Joshua:
I am just so happy.
Like, I haven't
fully processed it.
I'm just so glad
that I made John proud.
Thank you so much, John.
So good, Joshua.
I loved it.
I loved it.
Thank you so much.
It means so much to be able
to go into the knockouts.
I can't even, like,
think right now.
My brain's, like,
going in a million places.
Coaches, let me remind you
Keilah's available to steal.
Keilah, anything you'd like
to say to your coach?
I just want to say
thank you so much
for giving me
a chance on this show.
I feel like
I've already grown
like 100 times
just being in your presence.
John: You're so great,
and you're 15
and just knowing
where you are now
and what your potential is...
Mm.
...I'm so excited
for your future.
Thank you so much.
Daly: Give it up again
for Keilah Grace!
Keilah is
a really good singer.
I just think right now
Joshua has more character,
more individuality,
more ability to kind of
break through all the noise
and all the clutter
and all the other artists here
that are all so good.
Fantastic.
Kelly: Great job.
Keilah is such a star.
I'm so mad at myself
for not stealing her.
I feel like
I should have stolen her.
I thought you might.
I thought you might,
actually.
I know.
The talent is
out of this world.
I only have one steal,
so I have to use it
really wisely,
and I'm waiting
for the right moment.
Fried my brain.
Daly: Coming up...
Both: ♪ Heeeeey
Aah!
Daly:
...spectacular rehearsals...
Both: ♪ My baby knows
Whoo!
This i
s gonn
a be
really fun to watch.
Glad to be
on your team!
You're happy I blocked John.
You hear that, John?
♪ If I ever lose
Daly: ...create the most
memorable performances ever.
Wow.
Ariana: Oh, my God.
That was one of
my favorite performances.
Thank you to "The Voice" gods
for shining down on me.
I'm about to start yee‐haw'ing
up in here.
Ah! [ Laughs ]
Thank you guys.
Daly:
And difficult decisions...
It hurts my heart.
... lead to big surprises.
[ Whoosh! ]
[ Cheers and applause ]
That's the sound of a steal!
♪
.
♪ This is "The Voice" Daly: Welcome back
to the battle rounds.
Who's got a steal still?
I have a steal.
I have a steal.
I do, too.
We've tried.
I hit my steal button.
We've all tried.
You know what?
Here's what's happened.
Everyone has used
their saves.
Everyone's been good
at convincing people
to come back home.
The teams are really
strong throughout.
I think so.
I think it's one of our
better seasons of talent
since I've been
on the show.
Really quality voices.
I'm gonna go steal
one of your people,
and then I'm gonna
win the show with them.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
Blake: Remember when you first
came out in country music
and you were having hits?
Dierks: Yeah.
And then you broke
your stupid leg.
Blake: Then you had to,
like, win awards...
Yeah.
...like, limp up
to the stage and...
What?
...that's a part of what
I think made you a star
is people felt sorry
for you.
[ Laughs
]Yo u know?
Blake: You realize that?
[ Both laugh ]
Is this good? Marker.
Dierks:
Carson and Clint.
I feel like Carson is, like,
right down your alley.
Comes from
the bluegrass world.
It's great for
"The Voice," man.
Yeah.
I hear he's a great
fiddle player, too.
And Clint ‐‐
you can tell he's a guy
that's been
in front of crowds,
'cause he knows
how to perform.
Oh, man. Oh, man.
They're excited to see you,
I think.
I don't think so. I think ‐‐
I think they're over me.
‐Hey, man.
‐What's going on?
‐Meet Dierks.
Dierks. Real pleasure
to meet you, man.
Dude, I'm a big fan.
I'm a big fan of yours.
There's no way that's
Dierks Bentley and Blake Shelton
just sitting there
waiting for me to sing for them.
Two of the guys
that I look up to the most
in the country genre, for sure.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
You go

Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
Can you believe that?
Did you guys get invited?
I do that all the time.
I didn't get invited.
I missed the ‐‐
I missed the invite.
Sent it by way of pigeon.
You can still give me
the gift.
Oh, um, it was this
beautiful cup ‐‐
Yeah, this is ‐‐
this is a nice paperweight.
That's a hockey puck.
I know what that is.
Oh, man, I'm so excited
to hear you guys play,
just two guys up there

Oh, man, appreciate it.
Clint, I love your

Congratulations, man.
Welcome to Team Blake.
Clint:
I am excited to work with Blake.
He's been in the country game
for a long time.
Team Blake!
Whoo!
It'll be a huge help for me
because I want to outdo myself
every time I get on the stage.
Carson, your voice, man ‐‐
it just reminded me so much
of a lot of people who I love
in country and bluegrass music.
Thank you, man.
And really unique,
and you have the same haircut
my son, Knox, has.
Awesome, awesome.
Strong flow, looks good.
Yes, sir.
♪ Living on Tulsa time
[ Cheers and applause ]
I thought, you know,
if I nailed it,
I could turn one or two.
John: Yeah!
Turning four chairs, it ended up
being a harder decision
than I thought
it was gonna be.
Let's not mess around with what
this opportunity is for you.
Oh, my gosh.
Let's do this right, Carson.
Come on.
Just based on
the knowledge of the music...
Oh, thank you.
...I got to go with Blake.
Yes!
Carson: I'm really happy to be
where I am,
and I'm really glad
to be on Team Blake.
Looking forward to it.
You see that, Amer
ica?!
Four cha
irs!
So cool y'all doing
this song, too.
Vince Gill, yeah.
Love this song.
It lands
in the middle of you guys.
Yeah.
Someone was asking earlier
if I had a big break.
And for me, it really was Vince
in a really odd kind of way.
I was playing a bar down
Lower Broadway
in Nashville, Tennessee.
One night,
Vince walked in with Amy Grant.
Stayed onstage for
an hour and 22 minutes.
I timed it.
But it gave me, like,
the confidence to keep on.
Yeah.
You know, Vince Gill
sang with me.
It's alright.
Getting somewhere.
I gave these guys
"Don't Let Our Love Start
Slippin' Away" by Vince Gill.
♪ We've been up
♪ All night long
Clint's voice really
cuts through,
and it's the kind of voice
that if you walk
into a bar he's playing,
you're instantly
going to be taken by
what he'
s doingonstag e.
There's something really special
about that.
♪ Don't let our love
start slippin' ♪
♪ Love start slippin' away
Carson could be a big superstar.
His voice has got the bluegrass
stuff and the country stuff.
But it has almost like an Elvis
kind of
harder‐edge tone happening.
Both: ♪ Don't let our love
start slippin' ♪
♪ Love start slippin' away
I like how he does that.
♪ Don't let our love
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hitting it really hard.
♪ Don't let our love
Yeah, that's cool.
Thanks, man.
Changed it up
a little bit.
Thank you.
I'm gonna call Vince right now
and ask him if that's cool.
Just one thing I'd love to
see you do next time is just
don't glance the whole time
at the lyric sheet.
Yeah.
You're gonna have to
connect...
Okay, yeah.
...even beyond ju
st your
voice.
Connection deeper than
just what I'm singing.
Yeah, in an authentic
kind of way.
Yeah.
We've seen so many
young kids come through.
Not to call y'all kids.
Young men.
Impressive what you guys are
doing at your age.
You're crushing it.
You're a kid to me.
[ Laughter ]
I'm a senior in high school
at Elizabethton High School
in Elizabethton, Tennessee.
It's not a huge high school.
It's just a real small‐town
environment.
Everybody knows everybody.
It kind of keeps me
out of trouble, though,
because, you know,
if I do one thing wrong,
the whole town's
gonna know about it.
Back home, we have
a bluegrass band.
It's named
Carson Peters & Iron Mountain.
We're a touring bluegrass band,
and I sing lead
and harmony vocals.
We've been touring
throughout the country, really,
for the last three
or four years.
It's kind of gotten bigger
each year as we've gone.
You know, it's just
a really fun exp
erience.
Anything else
other than that?
I want to nail this.
All you can do is
everything you can do.
Yeah. That's got to be
on a T‐shirt somewhere.
Clint, I feel like there's
two different singers
coming out of you ‐‐
part of you that's doing
the soft Vince Gill thing,
but then there's a singer
that you turn into
that's kind of got, like,
a really pointed tone
that cuts through.
When you sing from here,
there's a bigger tone there.
Got it.
I'd try to figure out a way
to live in that land
just for this song
as much as you can.
I love that part of your voice.
It's great.
Oh, my God.
It cuts through.
It really cuts through.
What's your favorite
type of music to sing?
What I really love is just good,
you know, storytelling.
I relate to this song
because I'm in a relationship,
and the lyrics of the chorus
are just like a reminder
to be faithful to one another.
Jenny and I have been together
for a little over
two and a half years.
I proposed
in downtown Fort Worth.
Jenny thought she was going to
brunch with some of her friends.
They brought her down
to the square,
and it was like a big surprise.
It did work.
She said yes. Ah!

you were so confident.

you did a really great job.
Your tone was really good.
Your notes were really good.
You were the shocker

Thank you so much.
Daly: Thank you, coaches.
Alright, Blake, you got
a tough decision here, buddy.
Give us some thoughts
on the battle.
People don't normally cover
Vince Gill songs.
You know, that's kind of
one that you avoid.
Thank yo
u guys f
or working so hard on this thing.
Clint has a soulful R&B‐type
sound to his voice
that he blends
with country music,
you know, with his vibrato
and stuff,
and it's just really warm
and sounds cool.
Maybe that's why
he stood out in this, though,
'cause Vince has that.
Vince also has the bluegrass
stuff, you know.
Carson,
it kind of brought out
more of a rock edge
that I didn't expect.
I figured it'd be more
down‐the‐middle sound
like Vince Gill
and found out that a whole
other different sound
that Carson has that
he implemented into the song.
I saw two totally
different things
than I thought I would,
and I love both of them.
You guys stepped up to the plate
and did it, so thank you.
Great job.
This is a tough one here
for you, Blake.

Blake: I just feel like
Carson had the edge.
He's just got
a few different gears

Carson's only 17 years old,

I feel like that's probably
more of a challenge for you,
and I feel like you
had opportunities
that you could have taken
the easy way out
as far as, like,
maybe switching
into some falsetto thing,
but you didn't.
Yeah.
You chose to go full voice
for your bigger moments.
And they sounded
like they pushed you
as far as you could go,
but, man, you went there,
and I respect you
for that, man.
Thank you.

Gymani, I think you make it

Alright, Kelly,
you got the final decision.

that everybody feels like
they're a part of it.
Yeah.
Kelly: And you both
elevate each other.
Because, Gymani, you do have
this amazing, powerful voice.
It's so stunning

Thank you.
And then, Aaron, I think
the sincerity, the intimacy,
the level of artistry
you bring,
it's a beautiful gift,
as well.
I paired you both

it would sound incredible.
Turns out I was right.
I would love
both of your records.

[ Cheers and applause ]
I was scared to sing
in Portuguese,
but it was important
to represent my culture
and to be different.
Taking that risk was worth it
because John turned his chair.
Growing up
in a Brazilian community
and a Brazilian home,
like, my parents were raised
in Brazil, right?
So t
hey weretaught macho
and girls wear pink,
boys wear blue.
That made me feel like
I'm not normal.
So it was hard to come out at 22
and accept myself.
But now I have a wonderful
relationship with my fiancée.
We have a beautiful family.
We're super happy.
I was always a big dreamer.
But did I ever really think
I'd be in a room
with John Legend
and Camila Cabello?
No, no, I did not.
I'm so excited to work
with both of you,

Taylor Swift song "Cardigan."

to a lot of folk stuff.
Cool.
And listening to this song,
I love, like,
the storytelling aspect

So many people
starting out, like,
maybe don't have confidence
in their falsetto
or high ranges,

the more, like,
10 years from now,
you're gonna be like,
"Oh, I can't believe I thought
I couldn't hit that note.
Like, I ‐‐"
I didn't do falsetto
when I was younger.
I didn't really, like, think
that that was a powerful part

I'm not sure what just happened
on the stage,
but I feel like
it happened so quickly,
I'm gonna have to
watch this on TV
and, like,
put it in slow motion
to try to take
it al
l in.Proces s.
I told you guys, you're gonna
blow Blake's mind.
He would not know
what to do.
You fried it.
You fried my brain.
I gotta say, Joshua,
what the hell, dude?
I mean, that was crazy.
You both sounded great, but from
a performance standpoint,
I don't know that I've ever
seen anything like that.
I would have to
pick Joshua.
Thank you, Blake.
That was so exciting
and entertaining and infectious.
Something simpatico
is happening here.
But, Joshua,
you know I love you.
I'm obsessed with you.
I have been from the beginning.
I loved what you brought
to this song.
But, Keilah, between your range
and your control for your age
and your energy,
I couldn't stop watching you.
And I
know I'm like
the odd man out,
but I would lean towards you
in this case.
I loved that performance,
though, and you're both ‐‐
I'm obsessed.
It was wonderful.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
Daly: Thank you, coaches.
John, you got
the final decision.
Give us some thoughts before you
tell us who won the battle.
You all knocked it
out of the park.
It was so energetic, so fun,
and as I predicted,
you blew Blake's mind.
Fried my brain.
Joshua, what I loved
about your performance
was the additional little sauce
that you put on
some of those notes ‐‐
♪ The world ‐‐
when you sing that
in that first verse
and then the "emotional."
People are like,
"What's he gonna do next?
And it's really cool.
Keilah, you did exactly
what you were supposed to do
in this moment.
And for you to be 15
and tackle something
as emotionally angsty
as this song
and do it so well
was so impressive.
I loved it.
You're so good.
Thank you so much.
Mm‐hmm.
Daly:
John, the time has come.
Who's the winner
of this battle?
John:
Both of you made me proud.
I felt so fortunate
to be your coach.
The winner of this battle...
is Joshua.
Daly:
Joshua, congratulations.
Thank you, John.
You're moving on to knockouts
for Team Legend.
Joshua:
I am just so happy.
Like, I haven't
fully processed it.
I'm just so glad
that I made John proud.
Thank you so much, John.
So good, Joshua.
I loved it.
I loved it.
Thank you so much.
It means so much to be able
to go into the knockouts.
I can't even, like,
think right now.
My brain's, like,
going in a million places.
Coaches, let me remind you
Keilah's available to steal.
Keilah, anything you'd like
to say to your coach?
I just want to say
thank you so much
for giving me
a chance on this show.
I feel like
I've already grown
like 100 times
just being in your presence.
John: You're so great,
and you're 15
and just knowing
where you are now
and what your potential is...
Mm.
...I'm so excited
for your future.
Thank you so much.
Daly: Give it up again
for Keilah Grace!
Keilah is
a really good singer.
I just think right now
Joshua has more character,
more individuality,
more ability to kind of
break through all the noise
and all the clutter
and all the other artists here
that are all so good.
Fantastic.
Kelly: Great job.
Keilah is such a star.
I'm so mad at myself
for not stealing her.
I feel like
I should have stolen her.
I thought you might.
I thought you might,
actually.
I know.
The talent is
out of this world.
I only have one steal,
so I have to use it
really wisely,
and I'm waiting
for the right moment.

I was playing a bar down
Lower Broadway

One night,
Vince walked in with Amy Grant.
Stayed onstage for
an hour and 22 minutes.

there's a bigger tone there.

sound to his voice

Maybe that's why
he stood out in this, though,
'cause Vince has that.
Vince also has the bluegrass
stuff, you know.
Carson,
it kind of brought out
more of a rock edge
that I didn't expect.
I figured it'd be more
down‐the‐middle sound

other different sound
that Carson has that
he implemented into the song.

My dad ‐‐ he'll want me
to sing Selena,
and I'll do that for him
and, you know, I'll perform,
but I don't really go out

Yes.
Right here.

all the time.
Shut up. I ‐‐ Sorry.
I've learned everything ever

So sorry, no.
You know what I learned
the most
about riffing?
Mean something.
When we were doing
"Hairspray Live,"
you would pitch a joke or,
like, a melody change
here and there and ask,
"Does this add value?"
And as a performer, to me,
that changed my life entirely,
'cause now when I am writing
songs or performing songs,
if I'm gonna do a run,
I want to make sure
that it adds value
and that it has intention.
That changed my entire life.
Thank you.
I've never looked
at anything the same way.
I swear to God.
Thank you.
I'm eating my breakfast,
I'm like, "Does this add value?"
Like, I'm in the shower,
I'm like,
"Does this body wash
add value?"
I'm crying.
I love you guys,
like, together.
It was so sweet to see the bond
that Kristin and Ariana had.
Team Ari and Kristin.
That's right.
That's my new team name.
It's a really beautiful
relationship that they have.
You know, they're empowering
each other as women,

whoa.
Trust and lean into
your gift
'cause you're so talented.
Thank you.
Ariana is a musical genius,
and I love the song
that she picked
because it got me
out of my comfort zone
but in a very good way.
Like, it unleashed a part of me
that I never even knew I had.
Wow.
I know.
Okay.
I know.
I think it's gonna be
very hard for me.
I'm gonna quit.

It was, like, hard not to watch
you because you put on a show.
Your voice is so cool.
I love your tone.

this little scratch in it.
It's very pop‐friendly,

Hi.
I turned for both of you
in the blinds.
I adore both of you.
Raquel, I love your vibe.
Thank you.
You could sing any pop song,
but you make it even cooler.
You've just got
a really rad voice.
But I will say
my surprise today was Hailey.
There's something th

just sup

of magic
al
about the fact that you're 13
and you just did that.
Thank you.
You're a really gifted
singer.
With power

I was just like, "What?!"
I think that there's a path
for both of you on the show.
They're both really,
really good.
Thank you.
This is a tough one.
I love both of your voices.
You know, with Hailey,
I feel like
there is still
some development.
I mean, obviously,
she's 13.
From a coaching standpoint,
that's interesting,
'cause you can get in there
and you can help effect change.
And then with Raquel,
I mean, she's ready right now.
Like, you could say, "Okay,
we're going to lives tomorrow,
pick ‐‐ pick a damn song,"
and I guarantee you she will
and she'll be ready.
And ‐‐ And that's
exciting, too.
Daly: Thank you, coaches.
Alright, Ariana,
before the final decision,
give us your thoughts.
Raquel, from
the blind auditions,
you've been
one of my favorite performers
and voices.
And, Hailey, you were able
to push yourself
outside of your comfort zone
and grow so much.
And I am floored by you.
This was not something
you would pick to sing.
I don't think you're a pop girl
in this way,
but you have the soul to pull
it off, and you really did.
That's why I wanted
to challenge you with it.
And that, to me,
is a sign that you're here
in this musical world as
a perfo

I was scared to sing
in Portuguese,
but it was important

in a Brazilian community
and a Brazilian home,
like, my parents were raised
in Brazil, right?
So t

So many people
starting out, like,
maybe don't have confidence
in their falsetto
or high ranges,

that you do it,
the more, like,
10 years from now,
you're gonna be like,
"Oh, I can't believe I thought
I couldn't hit that note.
Like, I ‐‐"
I didn't do falsetto
when I was younger.
I didn't really, like, think
