The Voice (2011–…): Season 22, Episode 5 - The Blind Auditions, Part 5 - full transcript

♪ They told me to stand still ♪

♪ So I'mma keep on runnin' ♪

♪ They try to bring me down ♪

I'm excited!
Me too!

I'm ready.
Let's do this.

Love you, love you.
Knock 'em dead.

Thank you.

Why you in it?
I'm in it to win it.

Let's go.
Let's go.

♪ Whoa, whoa, oh, oh, oh ♪

♪ Keep your light ♪



♪ Whoa, whoa, oh, oh, oh ♪

Yeah!

Here we are, more than halfway

through the blinds. Yeah!

And so the
standard is very high.

Whoo! Camila: I'm looking for

more musical diversity,
I'm looking for people

that have potential outside of

these performances
and outside of this show.

You know, at this
point, my team is shaping up

to be one of the best teams
I think I've ever been part of.

They're just very
artistic and unexpected.

We're choosing
teams of 14 this year.

That means there's gonna
be a lot more fighting going on.



I haven't used my
Block button yet,

but I'm waiting for the
perfect moment to really crush

another coach's dreams.

Let's get it.

Do you still live
down there in Miami?

Yeah. Do you ever see pythons?

No.

You know, they're,
like, invasive in Florida.

Not true. What do you mean?

It's not true.

That's gators and crocodiles,

and that's in northern Florida.

I'm talking about pythons.

Pythons. No, not a thing.

My name is Kique,
I'm 18 years old,

and I'm from Miami, Florida.

Being Cuban in
Miami is very cool.

The food is great,
a lot of fun people.

There's always
something to do in Miami.

Hearing that Camila Cabello
was a coach was really exciting.

Coming from the same places,
same upbringing, same roots,

it's really awesome
seeing somebody like that

on "The Voice."

When I'm not singing,
something I also really enjoy doing

is keeping and
collecting reptiles.

Um, what new reptiles
do you have this week?

We actually just got
some black dragons in.

Oh, cool. Can I
check them out? Yeah.

Reptiles, to me, they're
just interesting to watch.

The way they move
and the way they explore

their environment is so
different than how we do it.

It's just something I've
always been interested in.

So, I am intimately familiar
with the reptile collection.

We started with one

and we ended up
with close to 30.

I had tortoises, snakes.

My favorite snake would
definitely have to be Salad.

He's a pastel
banana ball python.

So sometimes I like to just
take him out, make some music,

and he just chills there.

Maybe that means he likes it.

Growing up in Miami, I
always knew I loved music

and I was always a singer.

Like, it was always what I did.

My freshman year of
high school, I went into this

all boys Catholic school.

Being bisexual, being
someone who didn't play sports,

who wasn't, like,
the typical jock,

it was different for me,
it was difficult at first.

And then the music
teacher reached out to me

and asked me to
join the jazz band,

and every minute
after that was incredible.

I try to be different.

I don't want to fit the
mold in everything I do

from the music to just
who I am as a person.

I don't want to be what
you'd expect me to be.

Kique, please make
your way to the stage.

Love you. Proud of
you.

Let's do it.

This opportunity
is unlike any other.

A few weeks ago, I was walking
across the stage at graduation,

and now I'm here about
to do my blind audition

where they only hear my voice.

I hope they can hear all
the work I've put into it.

I really want to
get a chair to turn.

That's my dream.

It's scary, of course,
but I'm confident in myself

and I just hope to be able to
share that with the coaches.

Let's go, Kique.

Oh, you're getting ready?

You feel that stuff in the
air you were talking about?

Absolutely.

beautiful, girls ♪

Oh!

I like that!

I like that. I said
I like it. Whoa!

Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Just saying I like it.

What's up, y'all? Hello!

Yes, baby, yes!

This is a moment
I've been waiting for!

Just saying I like
it. We're gonna fight.

What are you talking
about? We're gonna fight.

Bring it on. We're gonna fight.

You were out of
bounds, by the way.

You're already disqualified.

What is your name,
and where are you from?

My name is Kique.

I am from Miami, Florida,
and I'm 18 years old.

Whoo! Miami!

Oh, my gosh!

Cuban roots. Cuban roots.

Cuban roots, baby! 305.

He say human roots?

Cuban!

That was what, Sean Kingston?

"Hey, yo, Sean Kingston."

Hey! I love Sean Kingston.

I thought it was a
cool version of it.

You sounded really soulful,

and I thought you took some
cool liberties with the melody,

and I'm excited to
see what you do next.

Just not enough to
turn around, though.

Blake, why don't you talk?

I'm still stuck on
that you guys both

have human roots.
I said Cuban roots.

No, no, no, human,
human. We're both human.

I was trying to say, that's
another thing we have in common.

We both have human roots. Yeah.

Say your name again.
I'll make it easy for you.

Ki-que. Ki-que.

Kique. Kique.
Kique. Kique, yeah.

It's not that hard,
Blake. Kique.

Man, I was blown away
with... with your voice

and just how accurate
you are with your pitch.

Thank you. Thank you. Did
you say that's Sean Kingston?

Yeah. Yeah, which
is Mr. Kingston's son.

Wh...

I don't know who
Sean Kingston is.

You're not... You're
not killing it right now.

But he also has
human roots also, so...

Don't we all.

Man, I just think
you're a great singer.

I've been a coach on this show

for literally 50 years now.

But Gwen, I think, is
the returning champ

of... of the four of
us. Thank you, Blake,

for mentioning
that. That's so kind.

But even that's been a
long time ago.

And I'm due for a win.

So...

That's not really the reaction
I was hoping for from you...

when I said that, but...

The human roots aren't
enough. I'll just sit over here

while you decide to
pick Gwen as your coach.

You're on fire right
now, Blake. I feel you.

Crazy. Good stuff.

- Kique.
- Yes. Kique.

305, baby.

305. That was my song

between me and my
fifth-grade boyfriend in Miami.

Oh, my God, stop it.

I don't know what didn't
make me turn around.

I do have regrets
about it, and now that

I see Blake can't channel his
Cuban papi and say Kique...

But I am friends with
Pitbull. Okay, that's good.

Somehow, we have a connection

that brings it all
right back home.

So you're basically Cuban.

I'm just gonna
put my two cents in

since I'm not a part of this.

Put 'em in. I feel like

you and Gwen would
make a great team.

Ah, ah, ah. What the hell?

Camila, thank you. What
is the matter with you?

Thank you! I want
the best for him!

Very generous. No, you don't.
You want the worst for me!

Well, both can be
true. Oh, my God.

Turning around,
just so you know,

you look nothing
like your voice.

I get that a lot. It's crazy.

I'm very passionate, I put
a lot of work into what I do.

I have a lot of
different things that I do.

I'm a reptile keeper.
I collect reptiles.

Whoa! Camila didn't know that

there's a python
infestation in Florida.

She had no idea. Have you
ever seen a python living in Miami?

Yeah, I've seen, like, hundreds.

Oh.

Well, this is awkward. Well, I
go and look for them, so I guess...

Blake is a reptile.

There's another
thing. Human roots.

Reptile guys. I mean...

I mean... Do you
have bearded dragons?

I've never had a bearded dragon.

We have one named Sebastian.

Oh, that's... That's
a human name.

Okay, I mean, you do you, man.

Do you like pizza?

Sometimes.

Me too, man. Whoa.

Oh, my God, you're so stupid!

It's crazy.

Kiko, I don't know if you...

Kique. Kique.

Oh, my God, this
is not going good.

All I want to say
is your kind of voice

is one of my favorite
kind of voices.

It's so theatrical and creative,

so I would love
to work with you.

Well, you know, Sean
Kingston, isn't he from Jamaica?

Yeah. And Gwen Stefani
became very famous singing ska.

That's true. Thank you, John.

He's making your case for you.

She was in a multi-platinum
group called No Doubt.

I don't know if
you're familiar. Wow!

My God, thank you, my friends.
Thank you so much. See?

And Blake likes
pizza, so... Yes.

There you go. And is a reptile.

Honesty, both
really strong points.

Really strong points.

Kique, who do you
pick as your coach?

Okay, okay, phew!

I choose...

Gwen Stefani. Aah!

I'm not gonna say I don't
care that Blake's my husband,

'cause I care a lot,
but I'm here to win.

You're going down,
Shelton. Boom!

♪ Karma, karma, karma, karma,

Team Gwen! Thank
you so very much.

I think that Kique
was really talented.

He's very unique.

I'm really excited to
have Kique on my team.

Don't come to crying to me.

♪ Karma, karma, karma, karma,
karma chameleon ♪ Can't help you now.

I don't know what happened.

I feel like
whenever Gwen's here,

Blake loses a
little bit of his edge.

She makes him behave
himself, and he loses a little bit.

So thank you, Gwen, for coming.

He was funny.

It's Kinkos. You're
saying it wrong.

Kinkos.

Kinkos. That's FedEx now.

Is that like a common
name or something?

Kique? Yeah, it's like
a nickname for Enrique.

Don't come crying to me, Kiko!

Good luck!

Welcome
back to "The Voice."

What do you
think about my dirty tricks?

Gwen and I don't know these.

Blake pulls out
all the dirty tricks.

I mean, I didn't know the
spotlight thing was a thing.

Oh, my God. I didn't
know we could do that!

I will be using that.

I felt for you. It was like...

"Man, this guy's
really powerful."

Machiavellian.

Huh?

My name is Hillary Torchiana.

I'm 34, and I'm from West
Chester, Pennsylvania.

I have been singing for
as long as I can remember,

but I've always
had a backup plan.

As much as I wanted
to pursue music,

I took the safe route.

In my late 20s, I thought
I had it all figured out.

I had a great life, a great job,

a cat and a dog that
I loved, and, um...

On March 30...

2015, that all...

Ooh, sorry.

I had a house fire.

I lost my cat and my dog,

all of my belongings.

I hope to never hear
the pain in her voice

that I heard, because it was...

I've never heard
anything like that.

I'm sorry.

So I found myself homeless.

Lived in a hotel for a while.

Overcoming the
trauma took a few years.

I was a bit lost.

But in early 2019,
something just changed.

I realized I couldn't
keep living that way,

and I really just focused on
things that made me happy.

I started singing more.

I started putting
more covers out online

and ultimately started a band.

I met my fiancé.

We're getting married
in a few weeks.

No backing out now.

Our first dance is actually
John Legend's "Never Break."

Hopefully that's
some kind of sign.

Yeah.

For my blind audition,
I'm performing

"Easy On Me" by Adele.

I've done my best
with the things

that I was faced with,

so it's a message
to go easy on myself.

Yes!

Alright, you're on "The Voice"!

Congratulations!

Thank you so much.
Oh, my goodness.

What is your name? My
name is Hillary Torchiana.

I'm 34, and I am from
West Chester, Pennsylvania.

I'm so happy for you.

I think an Adele song is just...

It's a hard pick
because you just know

that you're gonna be
compared to her. Yep.

Your tone is gonna
be compared to hers,

so I'm excited to see what other

song choices you
make, and even though

your coach is, like, kooky
and weird and... Kooky.

Kooky. Well, I have to
say, my fiancé is backstage,

and I was really hoping
you would turn, Blake,

'cause you remind
me so much of him.

Yeah, he must be kooky.

I'm a little kooky, too,

'cause we're getting
married in a few weeks.

Oh, wow. So...

Very exciting. Congratulations!

I do have to tell you, John,

we are dancing our first
dance to "Never Break."

Aww!

Aww, that's
so sweet. That's cool.

You should bring...
bring your fiancé out here.

Bring him out. Babe, come on.

We want to see Blake 2.

Oh, there's that kook.

There's the kook right there.

Aww. I'm so proud of you.

Thank you. Wow!

Congratulations.
What's his name?

This is Joe. John: Hi, Joe.

How's it going? I'm
very happy for you both

and excited that I'll be a
little part of your wedding.

Yes, you will be. Thank you.

I didn't turn because I
felt really sorry for Blake.

If I would've turned, probably
you were gonna choose me,

so I just wanted to go ahead
and let him have a chance.

You aren't wrong. I once
choreographed a dance

to "Hollaback Girl," so... Oh.

Me too! You too?

When you started singing,

I didn't know that
was an Adele song.

Do you listen to
the radio? I mean...

do you live under a
rock? He's in a country box

he doesn't escape from.
Yeah, I stay inside my box.

You're just making yourself
more and more Abuelo Blake.

My undecorated
country box that I live in.

My God.

But I... But I did detect
some twang in your voice.

There may be a
little twang in there.

Yeah. It was there, and so
it was enough that I thought,

"You know what? I don't...
I'm not sure exactly where

this girl's coming from,
but I want to be a part of it."

So welcome to Team Blake.

Thank you! I'm so honored.

Thank you so much.

You know, I feel like I
got away with one with Hillary.

She's got an incredible voice,

and I think she's very prepared
for a competition like this.

Hey, wait. Come
get your grocery bag.

You got to take the team cooler.

Y'all got to celebrate
later. Oh, my gosh!

We'll use this at the
wedding. There you go, perfect.

You have a great voice.
You're on Team Blake.

How's that feel? My soul left
my body for a second, but...

You sounded great. Congratulations.
Thank you. Thank you so much.

Welcome to the show.

How come they never put me
and Blake next to each other?

Too much trouble. You
guys can't resist each other.

Keep your hands to yourself.
No making out on "The Voice."

pick for your team?

Get the "Voice" official app now

♪ This is "The Voice" ♪

Welcome back.

Alright, Blake, I bet
you I'll make this shot.

You know, ever since John
got that residency in Vegas,

he's been a little different.

Alright, I'll bet you
I'll make this one.

Alright.

I told you I'd make it!

You owe me!

What are you talking about?

I don't think Vegas life
has changed me at all.

I'm still the same old John.

I'll bet you I can
guess your card.

Is this your card?

No.

Okay. Is this your card? No.

Somebody switched my cards out!

I mean, I had a
Vegas residency, too,

but I think John's
taking it a little bit too far.

Come on!

Maybe I need to stay
away from Vegas for a while.

Cool.

Nice.

I love the feeling
of being backstage.

I've kind of grown up
with this environment,

so I'm happy that
I get to do it again.

♪ I hear heels
a-clicky-clack-clack-clackin' ♪

Now, are those cowboy boot
heels or, like, high heels heels?

I'm gonna guess either,
like, big platform high heels

or... I don't know,
but it's a heavy...

That's our new drinking game.

What kind of shoes
are they wearing?

So I'm actually
no stranger to "The Voice."

♪ I'm the one for
a "good time call" ♪

♪ Phone's blowin' up ♪

I was on "The Voice
Kids" on Telemundo

when I was 11, and then I was
on "The Voice Kids" Colombia

when I was like 14 years old.

I like to think of them
as like stepping stones

to finally being on "The Voice."

There's no getting
better than this.

My name is Manu.
I'm 18 years old.

I'm from Howell, New Jersey,
but my parents are Colombian.

In 2003, my parents,
they came to America.

They wanted me to
have the best life ever.

When they first arrived, they
didn't know any English at all.

So all they could really
do was janitorial jobs.

So they would clean schools,
they would clean banks,

they would work
entire night shifts.

I don't want to get emotional,

but very thankful for them.

Um, I didn't know what was
going on when I was little,

but as I grew older, you know,

and they told me
all the experiences

that we went through, I
gave them a huge hug

because I had no idea.

I came to this
country 18 years ago,

and seeing her
sitting here like a star,

everything that I left
behind was for a reason,

and it's here.

So I'm so happy.

Thank you, Mom, for everything.

I'm moments away
from my blind audition.

I actually think
it's an advantage

that they won't
be able to see me.

I love that concept.

It's merely just on
vocal performance,

and I'm just so
excited to sing my song

and hopefully see a chair turn.

Wow.

What's your name?
Hi. My name's Manu.

I'm 18. Wow. Holy moly.

That was so beautiful.
Thank you so much.

Your voice is so
big and powerful,

and congratulations
on that. Thank you.

I was waiting to hear
maybe a part in there

that had a little more finesse,
maybe some softer moments,

'cause it seemed like you
started out singing on 10

and kind of kept it
there the whole time.

I guess that's maybe
why I didn't hit my button.

It was probably a huge mistake,

and... and I'm sorry. Thank
you so much. Thank you.

Manu, hearing this
beauty in your voice,

and you really do
have a lovely tone.

I think you just didn't
put a little artistic flair

on this song that we've
heard a bunch of times.

You just have to
develop that point of view

and put that artistry on
the songs that you sing.

Even this disappointment
will inform...

Yep. like, your sense
of urgency next time,

because you already
have the natural gift

of being a great vocalist.

And so now it's just
gonna be about artistry.

Okay. Thank you, guys.

Yeah, thank you. Thank you.

Thanks, Manu. Thank you.

I thought Manu was really good.

You could tell she
was a little young,

but she has so much potential.

I feel like she could
come back in six months

and be on "The Voice."

Wee!

What are you
gonna have to do to get

even just one chair
to turn, do you think?

We really just want
to make sure that

we're hitting all
those notes perfectly

and really, you know,
connecting on stage.

Oh, you guys are gonna do it.

Well, we're ready.
Ready to roll?

We're ready. We
are. Ready to do this.

Good luck to you. Bye.

Bye.

I'm Lindsay. I'm Kasey.

And we are The Marilynds.

So we are sisters.

We're also best friends.

We get asked a lot
where we came up with

the name The Marilynds.

We're both from the
state of Maryland,

spelled differently.

We wanted to pick something

a little different,
more feminine.

Also, we were both Miss
Maryland at different points.

I was Miss Maryland 2010.

And I was Miss Maryland 2013.

The pageants gave us both an
opportunity to perform at venues

that we wouldn't otherwise
have a chance to perform at.

One of my favorites
was the Special Olympics,

and, really, that, for me,
was what it was all about.

Honestly, it was some of
the most fulfilling opportunities

that we've ever had.

♪ O say, can you see ♪

We've been performing
together our entire lives.

We were rocking out since
we were little. Smashing guitars.

Our very first roles together,
I would say on a big stage,

were in "The Sound of Music."

- Louisa!
- Marta!

We fell in love
with being on stage,

and doing it together made
it that much more special.

I just remember nights of,
like, rehearsing lines together.

This has been our whole lives.

We officially formed
The Marilynds

as a duo about 10 years ago,

and we've been performing
any chance we can get.

Everything in our life
has led us to this moment

here at "The Voice."

For our blind audition,
we are singing.

"What if I Never Get
Over You" by Lady A.

The song just has these
beautiful written-in harmonies

that we feel like, as sisters,
it marries up so beautifully.

It's not always easy
in the music industry.

You have to really navigate

who has good intentions
and who doesn't.

So we are just blessed to
be here together as sisters.

Don't cry.

It's okay.

We just feel grateful

that we have the
opportunity to be here

and show the
coaches what we have.

and I'm 34 years old. Okay.

And we are The Marilynds.

The Marilynds.
The Marilynds, okay.

I'm so emotional,
because this...

Take it in. Take it in.

I remember auditioning
for one of these shows,

and it literally
changed my entire life.

Good for you for
feeling your feelings

and taking the moment in.

We're very grateful.

Yeah, we're very grateful.

What kind of music do you
guys like to sing and make?

We typically sing
country pop music.

Oh, cool. We've
dreamed of doing duets

with all of you, but, John,
when you turned around, I mean,

we've had a long dream
of you sitting on the piano

and us in ball gowns, like,
singing a trio, so... Oh, my God.

Well, of course I want
you to live your dream

of you singing with
John on the piano.

But I was in a girl group for
almost six years of my life.

I know harmony and arrangement
like the back of my hand.

And I turned because
I would be so excited

and inspired to
work with you guys.

Oh, my God. John: I used
to sing with my siblings, too,

and I would love to
work with you, too.

There's something special
about that harmony that you have

when you know
that person so well.

And I've been arranging for
groups and choirs and harmonies

since I was a kid, literally.

And I love hearing two
voices that are in sync together.

I'm not a country
artist, but I've worked

with some great country
artists, including Lady A.

And I think you can go
far in this competition,

and I would love
to be your coach.

Thank you.

I was gonna say that I was
in a band with my brother,

so there's that sibling thing,
too. There you go. Exactly.

I love harmonies, and
it's just gonna be so fun

to see you pretty girls,
sisters together up there.

Absolutely. You guys
are gonna do great.

Thank you. Thank you.

Blake, you have
something to say?

Oh, my God. I-I forgot I
was on this show for a minute.

Yeah.

I love him.

You know, the idea of singing
with my sister horrifies me,

so I can't relate
to any of the stuff

any of you people
are talking about.

I have a duo on my team.

I guess if you feel
like you're country pop,

I would be thinking that John's
kind of a jazz, R&B kind of guy.

What are you talking about?

I've never heard anybody say,

"I'm kind of a
country jazz artist."

What are you talking about?

I'm just saying, I've
never heard that.

I make R&B pop music.
That's not boo-able.

That's a damn fact. I
collaborate with country artists.

You have no competition
on my team.

Here's the thing,
guys. To be here, so...

- Oh, it worked! It worked!
- Oh, my God! It worked!

I wasn't gonna go here, but you
made me push the button, John.

I just don't understand why I'm
being ganged up upon around here.

Here's the thing. I have
no doubt in my mind

that I would be a
great coach for you.

And... No, John!

John, no!

I have no doubt in my
mind... If... If... If we're putting

spotlights over here, I'm
just going to stand in it.

Oh, my gosh!

I have no doubt in my mind...

Can we pick you both?

What is she...

I'll get... I'll get...
I'll get an extra one

for the other sister. If
you're going country pop...

If you're going country pop...

Look at this pose.

I was gonna say, who do
you choose as your coach?

Come on. Come on.

We are very honored that
both of you turned for us.

This is the worst.

So, we choose...

John. Team John.

I'm so happy. John!

When I heard The
Marilynds, I really loved them.

Both of them have
really cool voices,

and when they're together,
they sound wonderful.

And despite all of
Camila's shenanigans,

they picked Team Legend.

Where's that spotlight?

Thank you, spotlight.

Blake gangs up on me,
says I'm just a jazz artist.

I could definitely work
with a pop and country duo.

Alright, you beat me.
You beat me this time.

I don't pick artists based
on what genre they are.

I'll turn for a country
singer, a rock singer,

a soul singer, a pop
singer, a folk singer, all of it.

I'm just gonna keep
turning for artists who I love.

I'm feeling like I'm
on a lucky streak.

Hey.

Kara, I got to say, you are
so far out of his comfort zone

of what I've ever seen
him choose for this show.

Like, you tore
down a wall today.

It's crazy, because I've
actually covered that song, too.

I thought your take
on it was so cool.

Thank you. And it is exactly
right that I turned for her, Blake.

Welcome to Team Legend.

As soon as Kara started singing,
I was like, "I know this song."

And she took some really
cool and smart liberties

with the melody
and made it her own.

I'm impressed. Yeah. The last
person who would turn for her.

What do you... You don't
know me. You don't know me.

You're breaking your
mold. I'm impressed.

You do not know
me. I sang that song.

One thing we've never
seen happen on this show

is John Legend just crack.

And I feel like we're so close.

♪ This is "The Voice" ♪

Welcome back.

I can't believe you guys have
been together for seven years.

It's so fast. What's
the key, guys?

I don't know if there's... I
don't know what the secret is.

There wasn't. We
just were best friends.

My observation of them

is they genuinely,
really like each other.

It doesn't matter,
married or not.

We're in a competition,
and I am back to win it again.

Oh, this is sweet.

Serious.

Camera mark.

I've grown up watching this show

and have always just
dreamed of being on it.

Never thought I'd
get to this point,

but I'm pumped that I'm here.

I'm Zach Newbould,
I'm 19 years old,

and I'm from Northborough,
Massachusetts.

It's a very suburban town.

I'm more into fishing
and the outdoors.

It's a good time to start
thinking of song ideas.

I've always loved music,

'cause my dad was
always big into "The Voice."

I'd sit there,
watch it with him.

He always told me, he said,
"Zach, you got to get on there

so I can have a
beer with Blake."

I'm like, "I'll do that for
you. I'll make it happen."

It's so cool to be
here right now.

But I try to look past
the fact that I'm his dad

and compare him to
other musicians and stuff,

and he's just amazing.

I'm just really proud of
him, and I think that they'll

probably all fight over him.

I have no doubt of that.

Want to play?

Nobody else in my family
are singers or musicians,

so I don't really have
anyone to guide me.

I sing a little mix
of everything.

I'll sing older music, rock
songs, pop music, country.

I would really like
to work with a coach

that could help me figure
out what style of music

is best for me.

It's hard to pick this season.

They're all good. Yeah.

I can't believe that
I get the opportunity

to perform on a big
stage and experience

something that not
many people get to.

I'm just pumped to
make a dream come true.

Are we about to get our
minds blown, our ears blown?

Are you guys drunk or something?

Why didn't you turn
around? That was so good.

Not yet. Actually,
yes. Little bit, yes.

Oh, my God.
Yeah. That makes sense.

Hey, what's your name?

I'm Zach Newbould.
I'm 19, and I'm from

Northborough,

Oh, my God.

Zach, we turned around
at the exact same time.

Yeah, he's an artist.
Boom. Well, I was like...

I was like, the verse,
I was like, wow,

he has an amazing
voice, amazing tone.

'Cause that's what
I'm looking for,

like, those voices
that are special.

They don't even have to
be technically perfect yet.

Right. Right. 'Cause I was
kind of in the same place.

Like, I started off in a
singing competition show.

You haven't mentioned
that. You know...

I'll mention it a
million more times.

I noticed, for example,
like when you were like...

♪ I'm gonna use somebody ♪

like, you would get a
little bit nervous or pitchy,

and I've got the psychological,
therapeutic, physical,

physiological tips for you.

I honestly need that
kind of help right now,

because, like,
the past year or so,

my voice has changed so much.

I just need to kind of figure
out where my style's at.

I genuinely
feel like I can help you,

because I've been in your
exact same position and...

Because she was on a
singing competition show.

Right, right. Did
I tell... Did I tell you I was on

a singing competition
show? I-I missed it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I
didn't... I didn't hear that.

And she's had a birthday
since she started talking.

Out of all the coaches here,

I've been doing this
the longest, okay?

I was in a band for nine years

before "Just a Girl"
even got on the radio.

I want to be your "momager."

Like, I think that
I can help you.

Momager. And I know...

I know I can help you.

Momager.

But what I heard in
your voice is so much art.

I don't know what genre
you're gonna end up doing

'cause you're only 19.

And I promise you,
if you went with me,

it would be so much fun
to figure out who you are.

I've already lived my dream,

and now I just want to
help you live your dream.

You guy... You guys are
making it hard right now.

Yeah.
You're so lucky.

You get to choose between
two amazing people.

Your tone is really beautiful.

And I think embrace that
raspy-ness in your voice,

because it actually
is your superpower.

It's going to make
you sound special.

Thank you. And
then now it's all about

just channeling it into
great performances.

Thanks so much. Appreciate
that. For you, it all comes down

to this one moment.

And as you look
across the panel here,

there's only one coach
here who has never won

"The Voice." After all the...

Because it's my first season!
After all these seasons,

only one coach has never
won "The Voice" on this panel.

Blake, wouldn't you say
it's easier to win "The Voice"

when you've been on "The Voice"?

This is my first dang season.

After 22 seasons of this show,

you still have never
won "The Voice."

That's all I'm saying.
There's nothing wrong...

That is an objective truth.
About what I'm saying.

I only want to
say one last thing.

Is it the singing show?

No. It's not.

It's not.

He loved that. I like
Zach. I like Zach.

I just want to say
your vulnerabilities

were my vulnerabilities,
and then I...

And they're now not
vulnerabilities anymore.

Well put. Well put. I'm a very
eloquent person sometimes.

You can't put it
any better than that.

I believe she said she
had psychotherapeutic

physiological powers, as well.

You're making me
sound like a scientist.

Well, Zach, you've heard a lot.

Been beaten up.

You have a
decision to make, sir.

Oh. Who do you
pick as your coach?

This is a hard one.

Zach, Zach, Zach, Zach!

Gwen.

Yeah! What the hell?!

Camila! Whoo! No way.

Yes, yes, yes, yes. Wow.

Everyone's in shock!

I love Zach's tone.

I felt like it was
really special.

I'm so excited. We're
gonna have so much fun.

I loved how vulnerable
he was onstage

about what he wants
to take from this journey,

and I really feel like
I'll be able to help him.

Thank you, you guys.

Hey! What's your name?

I'm Lana Love. I'm 30,
and I live in Glendale.

Whoa. Cool.

I also live in the
back of a dog rescue,

which is really fun.

Hi! Hi! I help support
the dog rescue

by taking in the overflow
of puppies that come in.

How can I have a bad
day when that's my life?

Hey, Lana, why don't
you show me your outfit?

I grew up just prancing
around the house in full force,

and honestly, nothing's changed.

Like, I love fashion.
I love couture.

So, I'm so old-school with
opera and musical theater.

At 4 years old, I started
playing "Phantom of the Opera."

And I just sat down
at the piano one day

and plunked it out,
and my mom was like,

"Oh, I think it's time."

And now I'm performing
any chance I get.

My parents got
divorced when I was 8,

and then my little
sister and my mom and I

moved to live with my grandma.

She would take me
to all my play practices.

She came to every single show,
and she was like my biggest fan.

My mom and my grandma
have taught me everything

that I know, and they
taught me how to be strong.

I'm really grateful to have
that as my guiding light

and my role model.

I am so proud of you, Lana.

I couldn't be happier for you.

Sorry. Thank you.

My grandma passed
away last year.

It was my wish for her to
see me in something like this,

but I actually think she's
orchestrating this entire thing.

Welcome to Team Legend!

I really love you.
I actually met you.

So, where did we meet?
We met at the Apollo Theater,

and I was catering.
Okay. Oh, wow.

And I looked on the stage,
and I was like, "I'm gonna work

with him one day." Whoa.

Well, here we are!

So we're here!

That was such a
cool song. Thanks.

I felt like the arrangement
of it was really cool.

I really liked your
rendition of it.

Thank you.

You showed so many
different sides to your voice.

And for a blind audition, that's
very strategic in a good way.

So I'm excited to see what
you are gonna sing for us,

and thank you for coming out.

Awesome. Thank you, Gwen.

Great job. Congratulations.

The thing that I feel
like you did wrong

was you got John to turn around,

and nobody ever
beats John. Oh, stop it.

That's where your confidence is
at right now? I can't do it anymore.

Yes, it is, as a matter
of fact. That's really sad.

Doesn't matter. You've got
John Legend to be your coach.

Aah! Yeah.

Well, Lana, here's how we
welcome people to Team Legend.

I got Lana Love all to myself.

She did a really cool version

of a classic pop
song by Mandy Moore.

And her voice was just, like,
really interesting and cool.

I'm genuinely surprised
she was only a one-chair turn,

but that just made
it easy for me.

I got her all to myself.

See how addicted these
kids are to their phone?

Look at her. She's in a
trance. She can't break out of it.

Yes, I can.

There's life going
on all out here.

There's life going
on in here, too.

She's looking at the
Kardashians on there.

I'm connected to the
heartbeat of culture.

The heartbeat of culture.

I know what's going on
in the streets out there.

The skreets. The skreets.

I've been
through some hard times,

and that's what makes
music so special to me.

So a chair turn would mean

overcoming all of the
hardships I've faced.

I'm ready. Bring it on.

♪ This is "The Voice" ♪

Welcome back
to the blind auditions.

Stepping onstage at
"The Voice," it's crazy,

because, I mean, I'm only 17.

My name is Daysia Reneau,
and I'm from Leavenworth, Kansas.

My mom was a single mom,
and I have a fraternal twin.

Growing up with my
mom, she was amazing.

You know, she had
her own taxi company,

very hard-working woman.

Every night, she
would tuck us in.

And every birthday
with my twin sister,

she would always have two cakes

just to make us
both feel special.

We did have those moments
when we were in the car,

and we had "I Will Always
Love You" by Whitney Houston.

She would put that on, and
we'd roll down all the windows

and blast it and, you know,
just start singing along.

And it was... it
was... It was nice.

On April 22, 2017,
my sister woke me up,

and I was just, like, thinking,
"Where's my mom?" you know?

My grandmother came over to
me, and she sat us both down

and she said, "Your
mother was hit this morning

by her boyfriend's car.

She passed away."

I didn't believe it. I was 12.

Not having my mom
tuck me in at night

or saying I love you,

you don't ever think something
like that's gonna happen to you

until it does.

My aunt called, and she said,

"Do you want to
move in with us?"

Maybe about a month later, we
moved to Leavenworth, Kansas,

and my sister,
aunt, uncle, and I,

we all grew to become
a really nice family.

With the loss of my mother,

my new way of coping
is through music.

My uncle, he owns a jazz lounge
that I sing at every weekend.

I never sang at first.

That's when my uncle
stepped in, and he was like,

you know, "You have
a gift. Please share it."

I am definitely Daysia's
biggest supporter,

and I am so proud of her.

You know, she's
like a daughter to me.

And it's just really touching to
hear her sing the way she sings.

Losing my mom
was extremely hard.

I miss her every day.

Everything that she told
me until she passed away

has always stuck with me.

And she gave me the willpower

to want to accomplish
so many big things.

She would be so proud of me.

And I'm happy
that I'm doing this.

And I know that she can hear
me and see me as I do this.

I'm excited because you
have two great choices here.

I'm
a little bit nervous right now,

because I-I don't think my wife

is gonna roll over on this one.

But I'm gonna fight.
Let's see what fighting

looks like in our marriage.

Alright, now.

I just thought you had
an incredible voice.

Thank you so much.
And you look like a star

standing there.
You do. Thank you!

I appreciate it! You just
have a cool, cool thing

about you, and that's
half of it, it really is.

I'm a little bit sad knowing
that when Gwen turned around,

you were like, "Oh,
my God! It's Gwen!"

I mean, she's gorgeous, and,
like, you're amazing. I know.

I agree. I agree. Totally. Gwen:
Aww. You're gorgeous. Thank you.

He likes her, too.
It's awkward for me

to fight with her
in these situations.

I just want to tell
you that I'm a fan...

Thank you. and... and I'm... I'm
so glad that you're on the show,

no matter what happens.
Thank you so much.

And, yeah, yeah.

Hi, Daysia. Hi!

Hi! See? You see?

I didn't get that
kind of a "hi".

That was a remarkable
escalation in "hi."

Yeah. Well, I'm gonna fight.

I really do love you. There is
nobody on my team like you.

I love the quality
of your voice.

You can do all the runs, but
you also want to just tell a story,

and you just want to
speak from your heart.

That's the kind of person I want to
be around and I want to work with.

I'm not... I'm not
gonna help my husband.

But I-I will say he has
been here a long time.

He has a lot of experience,

but I have a lot of experience
outside of the show.

And I would love
to work with you.

After 22 seasons,

I don't have any experience
outside of this show.

That's literally
been my entire life.

I wake up here, and
I go to sleep here.

Listen, we don't see anybody
as unique as you are that often.

I'm a little bit intimidated
by you right now.

I'm just gonna tell ya. Oh,
my gosh. Don't say that.

Yeah, you don't want a
coach that's intimidated.

I love how much fun you're
having onstage right now.

My cheeks hurt. I know.

I know! And you're having fun!
So do mine! Mine are hurting, too.

I like that about your
personality. Thank you.

So who do you
pick as your coach?

I know! I'm so excited.

Aah!

Blake? We
discussed Blake, but...

Okay. It may be different.

Okay.

I'm picking Miss Gwen.

Alright, so, I have
learned a few things

from you guys,
especially you. Oh, yeah?

Blake? The talking-last thing
was a real game changer for me.

You hear this? Yeah. I think he
has some kind of weird strategy...

Yeah. that if he just
waits, that he's gonna win.

He waits to go last
when he blocks you, too,

and then he'll deny that
he blocked you. What?

Are you still accusing me of blocking
you in seasons past? Yeah. Yes.

So those are the lies. Those are
the lies. I don't think that was me.

Yes, he'll say this every time.
"I don't think that was me."

Hey, I have a question. Yeah?

Does that squirt water?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Maybe I can work on that.
Anytime you talk, I'll be like...

You will get squirted.

I'm 6'3", and, um, let's see.

Uh...

Good bit of dodging things,

and getting comfortable
sometimes can be a little bit...

A little bit
difficult, trying to...

There we go. Right back at it.

My name is Conner
Sweeny. I am 23 years old.

I'm originally from
South Carolina,

but I now live in Tennessee.

I grew up in a very
tight-knit family.

Spent a lot of time together.

Family meals were
always a really big deal.

Going on trips together...

We would go
fishing all the time.

I was really close with my
parents and my siblings.

I got into music as
early as I can remember.

When I started high school,
I met two of my best friends,

and we decided that we
were gonna start a band.

We called ourselves
The Barefoot Boys

because we did all of our videos
on YouTube and stuff barefoot.

That was the beginning of the
band that I currently play with.

We play gigs all
over the southeast,

and there's nothing we
would rather be doing.

I am absolutely a
fan of Blake Shelton.

When I was in high school, his
"If I'm Honest" album came out,

and I know every word to
every song front and back.

Hopefully, this season, I can be
a contestant that could actually

look Blake straight in the eyes
when I'm shaking hands with him

after he turns that
chair around for me.

Aww. Hey.

Hello. What's your name?

My name is Conner
Sweeny, I'm 23 years old,

and I'm from
Nashville, Tennessee.

Your verses were really
good and... So good.

Yeah, that's what
I thought. Yeah.

But then when you
got to the choruses,

there was a few voice cracks
and some things that were flat,

and it just sounded
like nerves to me.

And you almost have to
do some soul searching

to figure out what it is

that you can help get
over that hump, and...

Or take a shot. And
I still haven't done it.

That's why I drink so
much. Exactly. Totally.

They wouldn't let us. Yeah.

I would say just continue to
become more and more comfortable

doing this in... In
tough rooms like this,

and you'll be ready
for this thing, man.

Absolutely.

When you
started singing the verse,

I actually looked
over, and I was like,

"I think I'm gonna
hit my button"... Yeah.

Because your tone,
I felt like I was, like,

listening to a
song on the radio,

and that's actually
been my intention today

is find people with
really, really special tone

because I think
tone is just something

that is a gift, you know?

And I think that you have
that, so congratulations.

Thank you.

I actually thought

that the verses were
excellent and beautiful,

and your voice is gorgeous
and you're so tall and cute.

- Hey, easy now.
- Easy.

Just her type.

I was really impressed
with your verses.

I was actually thinking of
turning in those moments,

but I was like, "I
know this song's

gonna get bigger at some point.

I'm gonna just make sure
he can hit these big notes,"

and that's where you
started to falter a little bit,

and it probably was nerves.

And so I think, with
more experience,

you'll just develop
those strategies

to help you overcome them.

Absolutely. Thank y'all so much.

I do think
Conner has what it takes

and could be a star
in country music.

The hardest thing for
me to coach is people

that can't get over
their nerves, though.

We're getting to the point
where we're all getting extra picky,

and we're gonna
find more reasons

to not hit our button
than we are to hit it.

Right now, I'm just
looking for an artist

that's different than
anybody else I have.

I like that melody in that song.

♪ Dun-dun-dun-duh-duh ♪

Crazy, right? I like
the interval of it.

That melody and that verse
was really... Yeah, it's cool.

I was like, "What song
is that? That's cool."

Coming up...

Four chairs! Blake:
You have what it takes

to make it to the
finale of "The Voice."

Welcome back.

Just being in Los Angeles
and seeing the drivers,

I could never drive here.

Like never.

I'm Ansley Burns, I'm 15,

and I'm from Easley,
South Carolina.

Ansley's taken her
driver's test five times.

Not that good.

He actually took the
practice test and passed it.

He did. He did. He's 11.

I... No comment.

I started singing when
I was about 2 or 3.

When I was 11 years old, we
were going to a football game,

and Carrie Underwood's song
"Cry Pretty" came on the radio.

And I didn't know
this, by the way.

My mom, she took a
video of me singing the song

and posted it on Facebook.

And then somehow
Carrie Underwood saw it

and tweeted, "Watch
out for this girl."

I was, like, freaking out.

Like, I was running around
my house like, "Oh, my God.

Carrie Underwood
just saw my video.

Oh, my gosh."

But, yeah, it was
pretty crazy at first.

My family has
deep country roots.

My great-grandpa was able to
record with Hank Williams Sr.,

so to hear that he got to
work with this amazing person,

it really influenced me that
maybe I can do the same thing,

and that's kind of why I
wanted to go on "The Voice"

is to work with the
amazing coaches like Blake.

I mean, he's a country
legend. He's, like, my idol.

It's so cool.

Oh, my goodness.

If Blake were to turn
around, I would lose it

because I've looked up to
him for a really long time.

But I look up to all of them,
and if they were to turn around,

I would probably
start, like, freaking out.

is. - Wait a minute.

I just want to...
I just want to...

I just want to stand next to you

and see what this
is gonna be like.

Oh, I know. I'm so short.

Oh, my God. You
look like Bigfoot.

How's that for a

Get our picture. She's a baby.

Oh, my goodness. Oh, my gosh.

Ha!

This is crazy. What's your name?

I'm Ansley Burns.

I'm 15 years old from
Easley, South Carolina.

Alright. South Cackalack.

Well, did you hear that
song from LeAnn Rimes?

Yes, and I love her. I've
looked up to her for years.

Do you yodel also like she does?

Yeah, a little bit.

'Cause that was a
very interesting choice

of... of a note to
sing there at the end.

It was like, "Just in case
you were all wondering,

let me just hit you with
one more punch to the face

of my vocal abilities."
Well, I got to tell you,

I literally used my
block on my wife.

Oh, my gosh, you were
blocked. I didn't even notice.

You don't have a
choice. Yeah, I'm blocked.

Oh, my gosh.

Ansley, you're stuck
with me. I'm sorry.

Yeah, I kn... I know.
I'm your coach,

and there's nothing you
can do about it. Yeah!

Whoo!

I'm so honored.
Thank you so much.

Blake, I'm so happy for you.

I slayed you guys on that one.

You killed it. Yes, yes.

Ansley, I'm so proud of
you and so happy for you.

Oh, my God. You're
15? Yes, I'm 15.

Well, I am so looking
forward to your journey.

You have a beautiful
tone of voice.

What kind of music do
you want to make? Country.

Country? That's
awesome. Yeah, country.

That's awesome. And
I'm so proud of you.

I hope that you enjoy
this moment so much.

Aww, thank you so much.

Hi, Ansley. Hi.

My husband blocked me,
so I can't be your coach,

but I'm super happy
for you because Blake is

one of the greatest guys in
the whole world... - Alright.

And your tone, it was
just so pretty. Like, angelic.

And I think that because
you're so, so young,

you have so much growth to do,

Blake's gonna really
help you with that,

so I'm excited to see how
you grow right before our eyes.

Congratulations. Aww,
thank you so much.

I'm so excited for you. Aww.

You really sound wonderful.

And when someone has the
kind of range that you have,

America just falls in love,

and I think you're gonna
do so well on this show.

So congratulations,
and good luck to you.

Aww, thank you so much.

Hey, wait. Oh, God.

And if you need
to go grocery shopping...

Apple
juice. Apple juice.

Yes. Capri Sun cooler.

Yes. Yeah.

Oh, my goodness.

Welcome to the
team, little buddy.

Aww, thank you so
much. Thank you.

I'm so excited that I was able

to get Ansley on my
team. I'll see you soon.

The thing that I love
about Ansley's voice is,

I mean, she sounds youthful,
which, obviously, she is.

The fact that she's
covering such a classic song

tells me a lot about
where she wants to go.

I had to use my Block
button against my wife.

Look at how cute she is.

But that's how badly I
wanted Ansley on my team.

I blocked my own wife.

You did it.
Good job, girl. You go, girl.

So, is that the
end of the blocks?

Yeah. Thank God.

Blocking someone is
so satisfying, though.

It's fun. It's fun.

Was it fun to block me, Blake?

It took using Blake's
block to take me down,

so, obviously, I'm a threat.

I got blocked twice.

Dance on the block.

I was actually feeling
sorry for you, Blake,

so that's a low blow.

So, it's still gonna
be Gwen Shelton

even though I used
my block on you?

See? She didn't
answer.

Breaking up
families left and right.

This is "The Voice."

We bring them together,
then we tear them apart.

♪ This is "The Voice" ♪

Welcome back.

No more blocks.

What are you gonna do, Blake?

I feel like he's
got to step it up.

I'm gonna wait till the end
and get a bunch of one-chairs.

That's a terrible strategy.

My name is Manasseh Samone.

I am 22 years old, and I
am from Dallas, Texas.

I've been working as a
preschool teacher for about a year.

The kids know me
as Miss Manasseh.

They ask me to sing
for them all the time.

One thing that is important
to me is to instill self-worth,

because that is something
that I struggled with growing up.

As a child, I was insecure.

I did not have my
father in my life,

so it was very hard
trying to find my worth.

I remember that it was times
where I would literally, like,

envision myself
being someone else

that could appear
more, um, accepted.

That would always cause
her to have a, like, shutdown.

She had a rough time.

When I started singing,
I found my identity in it.

Singing has always been our
getaway, you know? Mm-hmm.

Absolutely. And it is just...
I'm just so proud of her

'cause she's overcome
so many obstacles.

Manasseh Samone, make
your way to the blind-audition stage.

It's unbelievable because

growing up watching this show
and seeing so many lives change

and then now here I am
in that same exact position.

This is the biggest
opportunity of my life.

Hello. What's your name?

My name is Manasseh Samone.

I'm sorry you didn't get a turn.

Some of the stuff that you
were doing with your voice,

I looked at Camila,
and I was like, "How..."

like, "How does she do that?"

Like, that's... It's
vocal acrobatics.

I mean, it is really beautiful,

beautiful, beautiful. Thank you.

You know, Manasseh, I think
your vibrato is so interesting

because it's so
wavy and it's kind of...

It, like, undulates,
and sometimes

when your vibrato's
so big and spacious,

it sometimes... It
kind of pulls you off

the note that you're
singing. Mm-hmm.

And so I think just
polishing that just a little bit,

I think is all that was
missing. Thank you.

It would be so
interesting for you to, you know,

learn how to play
with the dynamics,

learning how to give
different textures,

and also sinking into
the emotion of the song

a little bit more, like, kind
of acting out the words more.

But you're a really,
really gifted singer.

We do hope you come
back to see us. - Yeah.

Yes. Thank you, Manasseh.

Thanks, Manasseh.
Thank you, Manasseh.

I didn't turn for Manasseh.

She's super gifted,
super talented,

but wasn't just hitting me
where I needed to hit my button.

It sounded, like, kind of, like,

might have been a
praise-and-worship song.

Yeah, I didn't
recognize that song.

One of those kind
of more modern,

contemporary Christian songs.

The stigma behind neck tattoos

is usually we're
mean, we're rough.

I just think that's so funny
'cause I'm a dad of three.

I'm Bodie, I'm 29 years old,

and I'm from Ladera
Ranch, California.

My dad was a touring
bass player in a rock band.

He played guitar. He
sang. My mom sang.

Straight out of
the womb, I was...

I was singing, it seemed like.

But it wasn't really until my
mom was a children's pastor

that I started to lead worship.

And, really, ever since
then, I haven't stopped.

Multiple times a week...
Churches, venues, bars,

you name it, I've been
singing and performing.

When I was 15, I was
diagnosed with alopecia.

Then my life changed.

Alopecia is an autoimmune
disease where your immune system

actually attacks
your hair follicles.

My hair began to fall out, then
my eyebrows, my eyelashes

to the point where I
had literally no hair at all.

That was really when
I first experienced

fairly severe anxiety
and depression,

seeing my hair clog up my
drain in my shower every morning,

it was really scary.

Being able to look to music

and use that as kind of a
therapeutic place for me

was really crucial
for that time of my life.

Towards the end of
my high-school career,

my hair started growing back.

But then recently, it
started growing in white.

But I like the way it looks.
It's still really thin on top.

I can't really rock
the no-beanie yet,

but hopefully maybe my hair
will come back in its fullness

but stay white
'cause I really dig it.

I met my wife freshman
year of college.

Started dating and got
married four years later.

Now we have three kids.

The more kids we have,
it's hard for me to justify

making time to pursue this dream

that once seemed to be
the number-one priority,

and now it's kind of
become on the back burner.

I'm so thankful
that my wife's been

just so excited for me
and such a supporter of it

through this process.

I am so proud and so
excited that he's here.

It's just an awesome
opportunity for people to be able

to see how talented he is.

I love my dad's voice, and
I love when he sings to me.

These coaches are superstars.

It's crazy that I'm about
to sing in front of them.

Blake, I'm starting to,
like, feel really bad for you.

I'm embarrassed.

Now I want you to
get somebody good.

I grew up on Gwen, and we
both lived in Orange County.

We both got really unique style.

I would love to work with her.

I see Daddy on the stage.

If I could turn just one chair,

it would mean the world
to me and my family.

He's gonna crush it. I love him.

I'm 29 years old.

You're so cool. Thank you.

You look like a
Californian. Thank you.

Just got that vibe about you.

I'm feeling it. I'm feeling it.

I loved how you
sounded. Thank you.

I was so happy to turn
around and see you play.

Like, what kind of music
do you want to sing?

I love it all. You love it all.

Pop, soul, R&B. That's fire.

You know, Blake is having,

like, a really, really
bad run this season.

She's right, yeah. He's
got the runs this season.

Yeah.

I actually heard
about that backstage.

That's spreading around. Yeah.

Ooh, you're funny, too.

So I'm, like, really
curious to hear

the thirst and desperation
emanating from him.

Oh, from me? Yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oh, my God. How...
How easy will that be?

It's genuine. I mean, it's
nothing new. I'm desperate.

Listen, man, first of all,

I hit my... I think I
hit my button first.

I never play that card,
but John says it all the time,

and he gets everybody
on his team, so...

I hit my button first, okay? I hit it first.
He did hit it first. He hit it first. He did.

Man, listen, your
voice is incredible,

and I-I don't know why,
but I'm happy about it.

We seem to have more
rock-sounding artists

auditioning this year, you know?

We always have a lot of R&B
and... You sound sad about it.

You sound like you
want more country.

No, I love rock. I love rock.

I just can hardly ever get
anybody to be on my team.

Is it 'cause you're,
like, a bad coach?

It's partly because you won't
stop talking and let me talk.

Thank you!

Thank you. Thank you, guys.

Okay. Thank y'all.

Thank you.

Sorry about that.
Sorry. I just...

I'm sorry. You know
what happens here?

By the way, hi to your
family. Tell him to pick me.

Alright, Bodie, I
love your voice.

Everybody's gonna remember you,

the way you look,
the way you sound.

You already are...
are a funny guy.

I mean, you have what it takes

to make it to the
finale of "The Voice."

You just got to
pick the right coach

that can get you there, dude.

I've been doing this a
long time, man. Thank you.

Grandpa Blake. I'd be... I would
be honored to be Grandpa Blake.

Abuelo Blake. Yeah.

I would be honored
to be Abuelo... Blake.

Come on, let's win this thing.

Bodie, I loved it. I
loved the performance.

Honestly, you have
such an incredible tone,

and it's just rare, so
that means you're rare.

And I can hear you
doing so many songs

where it's like they have
these soaring melodies.

But I feel like the
alternative side of you

could be a really cool
place to go, as well.

That's where my
background is, obviously.

I have been around
for a long time.

I've toured the world, and
I've won "The Voice" already

with Carter Rubin, and I
would just love to be your coach.

This is my time in
my life to give back

to somebody like
you that has a dream.

So I'm ready to do it.

Thank you. Hey.

Bodie, your vocal presence
was just so, like, robust

and you put a certain
amount of soul on it

that was so cool and
such a different take,

and it shows that you're
a really interesting artist

because you're taking
this song in a different genre

and giving it your
own personal stamp.

I thought that was super cool.

You really do stand out,

and you could do
something really special.

So congratulations, and... and
welcome. Thank you. Thank you.

I'm gonna say it one more time.

I want you on my team.

Let's win this show
together, Bodie.

Come on! Please!

Bodie, who do you
pick as your coach?

Come on, Bodie!

Bodie!

Oh, I'm so stressed for him.

Bodie!

I'm gonna go with Abuelo Blake.

Yes! Yes!

Yes! Yes!

Bodie is the light at the
end of the tunnel for me.

Everybody wanted
Bodie, and I got him.

Who's back there? Who's
that? My son right there.

Bodie may have very well saved
my Season 22 blind auditions.

Congratulations.

I can't wait to see what
you do. I'm such a big fan.

I mean, I even beat Gwen
without using any tricks.

I mean, what else
can you ask for?

Here you go. Let's
go meet some people.

♪ Oh, I can't believe it ♪

Look at that guy! Okay?! Okay?!

Abuelo! Royale: Hi, Blake.

What's your name? Royale.

Royale, good to meet
you. Nice to meet you.

My sister's name's
Endy. Yeah. What?

Hey, you got a
singer on your team.

Not just a singer.
I got the man.

This is gonna be a blast, dude.

Thank you,
Blake. Alright, welcome.

Nice meeting you, Blake.

Congratulations.
Go celebrate.

I kind of feel like Blake
could win this season.

I don't know why.
Really? I don't.

You don't? No.

I feel like
you're too cocky about it.

You truly don't have
a feel for this show.

I can tell you that.

This is my show.
