Give it up for our coaches!

We're nearing the end of blinds,

Teams are filling up.

Everybody's being selective

about who to complete
their team with.

Going into the battles,
I'm nervous.

It could be anybody's game
on my team.

I'm really excited
to go into the battle rounds



and really start to coach
my team for the first time ever.

soul singers on the planet.

She just won Best R&B
Album at the Grammys last year.

Yeah, you did!

You're locked
in on the harmonies,

Yeah. 'Cause
I'm a dork, harmony dork.

Whoo!

Four chairs!

Yes!

Alright!

Sing that song!

That was so unbelievably pretty.

I don't even know
how to talk after that.

What is your name?

My name is Kim
Cruse. I'm 30 years old.

I'm from Woodville, Texas.

Woodville is a super
small country town.

We have three stoplights,

and they're literally
not even a mile apart.

I grew up singing and playing
music with my whole family.

My dad's a pastor.

I can recall the first time
she ever sung in the church.

She was about 3 years old.

She stepped up
to the mic fearless,

as if she'd been
doing it her whole life.

And after I heard that, I said,

"This girl going somewhere,"
you know?

One day, I was on my lunch break

at McDonald's, in
the drive-through.

And I just posted the
video of me singing

this song called "Jesus."

♪ Curses unbroken,
yeah, yeah, yeah ♪

A viral music page shared it,

and it got up to like
1.5 million views.

And I was just, like, crying.

It literally just
happened overnight.

From there, I was one of
Monica's background singers,

and then I had the
opportunity to sing

with a gospel group in Germany.

Since COVID, I've
been my own manager.

I respond to my own bookings.

I do everything by myself.

So, I need "The Voice"

so I can take my
career to the next level.

The amount of talent that
God poured on you, it's insane.

Thank you.

This is my deal. I've lived
your dream already. Yes.

And playing the role as a coach

and being able to share
the things that I've learned

through my journey
brings me so much joy.

And I would love
to do that with you.

Did you hear the runs?

I cannot wait to
hear you sing more.

You're so beautiful.

Thank you. So beautiful.

What a magical,
beautiful gift you have.

Everything that
was coming from you

just felt so natural,
nothing felt forced.

And you'll notice I
turned for you so quickly

because I just heard the tone.

And I was like, "Okay, she
needs to be on this show."

And then not only should
she be on the show...

Like, you should be in
the finale on this show.

You're just so good.

Thank you. Wow.

I would love to help you
figure out how to best display

this amazing talent that
you have to the world.

And I would love
to be your coach.

Thank you. Thank
you.

Kim!

Hey. Hey.

I can tell you really
worked on this arrangement.

'Cause I feel like it's such a
sign of an amazing, melodic ear,

which I feel like you have.

And that's something that
I'm so passionate about.

Your tone is incredible,
your choices were incredible,

and I would love for you
to pick me as your coach.

Thank you.

I have won this show with
all kinds of different artists.

Yes, I've won the show
with country artists.

I've won the show with R&B
artists, with rock, with pop.

There is absolutely no
reason why you can't pick me

as your coach and
win this freaking show.

And as I
was listening to these other three...

Thank you. Thank you very much.

Thank you.

Can you finish what you
were saying? You see that?

Oh, my God!

Exactly.

What I was gonna say was,

as I was listening to
these other three talk

and I realized that they had
all heard that song before

and they knew who sang it.

And I didn't.

It told me something
very important,

which is you all have

absolutely nothing to
learn from each other.

Oh, my goodness. But you and I?

Oho, we have a lot to
learn from each other.

He has a... He has a lot to learn
from you. And sometimes, those...

I will give him that.

Pairings like that are what's
magical on this show, Kim.

It's important to have a coach

who knows where
you're coming from,

understands the kind of
music that you want to do.

Isn't it fun to be able to show
people songs for the first time?

"Oh, my God, have you ever
heard this song? Listen."

Let's do this. Pick
me as your coach.

Don't listen to him.
Don't listen to him.

Who do you pick as your coach?

Alright, here we go.

John? She gonna pick Blake.

Come on home, Kim!

As my coach...

I pick...

Come on home!

Come on, Kim.

♪ This is "The Voice" ♪

Welcome back to the final night

of the blind auditions.

Who do you pick as your coach?

Come on home, Kim!

As my coach...

I pick...

Come on home.

Come on, Kim.

John.

Yes!

Boo!

Team Legend! Boo!

Already matches your shirt.

You're incredible.

Thank you so much.

Wow. That tone
immediately got me.

And then the stylistic choices
she was making... Whoo! Whoo!

She executed flawlessly.

She's gonna be one
of my best artists.

I can't wait to work with her.

Whoo-whoo!

Nice work, Kim. Congratulations!

Oh, my gosh! Congratulations!

I knew that if I turned around,
I would have a headache,

and now I do.

I absolutely loved her voice,

but, you know, she did what
everybody expected her to do.

Turns out that John is
getting all the four-chair turns,

and I'm sick of it.

Good job, John!

Thank you, everyone.

Let's meet our next artist.

I've had some
pretty big wins in my career.

There's been a
couple record deals.

I've gotten to
write for big artists

like Celine Dion and Tim McGraw.

I've got a Jimmie Allen
song that's about to come out,

and I wrote the song

"What You're Doing to
Me" from Michael Bolton.

And Mr. Bolton shows up
to the studio and he goes,

"Who was singing on the demo?"

And I sort of stepped forward
with my hand up, and he goes,

"Whew. What a voice."

And I was like, "Whoa!"

My name is Steven McMorran.

I'm 40. I'm from
Nashville, Tennessee.

Nashville is special to me

'cause it's where we've
been raising our family.

It's where we settled in.

It's where the music business
really started to open up to me.

My wife and I...
We've got two boys.

No matter how good it gets on
the business side of things... Oh, no!

That's what it's all about...
What you're going home to

and who you're really
living this life with and for.

Aww, I love y'all.

I'm so excited
to hear and see my dad

on "The Voice" and everything.

It's all very
exciting right now.

- He's a pretty good singer.
- Pretty good?

Alright. Amazing singer.

Hey, Steven, it's your
friend Michael Bolton.

When we worked
together in the studio,

I knew you were
destined for big things.

Congrats on "The Voice."
Now go get some chairs to turn.

That feels incredible.

I've had some
success as a songwriter,

but working with a coach

would elevate everything
about my artistry.

For my audition,

I'm singing "Never Enough"
from "The Greatest Showman."

I think it's perfect for me
because it's a song saying,

"Without you, it would
all be for nothing."

I'm gonna be thinking about
the most precious things

that I have to take care
of... My wife and my kids.

This is a surreal opportunity

to do what I feel like
I do best, for them.

Yes!

Yes!

Wow, you made it!
What's your name?

I'm Steven. I'm 40.
I'm from Nashville.

I've been a
professional songwriter

for 17-some odd years, I think.

Songwriter? Yeah.

My favorite.

It's always fun to
meet a songwriter.

I thought it was
really beautiful,

and I thought that
you had so many

incredible parts to your voice.

I was feeling all the different
voices a little bit separate.

Each one was very good,
but they didn't flow for me,

so that's literally why I
didn't press my button.

But it's gonna be cool

to watch you be able to have
this moment on this show.

I'm so excited to be
here. Congratulations.

Yeah.

The thing that was most
impressive for me was your range

is just quite elastic. Yeah.

Your voice can
do so many things,

and it'll be just
about bringing it

all together with a vision.

Camila can help you do that.

Steven, my ear has been
wanting to hear people

with that just,
like, special tone.

And I was like, he's singing
this "Never Enough" song from...

"Greatest Showman."
freaking "Greatest Showman."

And I was like, "This is weird.

I'm gonna press
my button. I like it."

I love that you took a risk.
You were soft and quiet,

but then you went
for those belting notes,

which gave me like
a slightest hint of, like,

a Bocelli feeling.

And I just want to ask you,

what kind of music
do you want to make?

What genre or what
artist do you love?

Don't say Blake 'cause
you're from Nashville,

'cause that would suck.

I've got some,
like, country stuff

that has happened
over the years,

but I think my main genre is pop

and right square
towards the heart.

Whatever
makes people feel something.

Aww, that's nice. That's
good. That's really cool.

And by the way, you don't have
to say "pop" because it's me.

Like, you can say "country."

I'm saying "pop" 'cause it's me.

Okay, good. Good, good,
good. I want to make sure.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
'Cause I'm down.

You can tell. He didn't
sing Blake Shelton.

He sang "The Greatest Showman."

Right. That's definitely
true. That's true.

Steven, congratulations, man.

Thank you. I'm
very happy for you,

even though you're having
to act like you like pop music,

just because it's...

It's not. He's not.

Because of you, we're gonna
see what Camila is capable of.

I'm ready.

Oh, I'm so excited!
Yeah! Let's get it!

Whoo!

Steven had a lot of the
things that I've been looking for.

I'm excited! It's gonna be
fun. Yeah, I'm so excited.

He chose a really
interesting song

that I would never expect
and something that is bold.

The magical thing is
creating your own lane,

and to me, that's,
like, genre-defying.

Alright. Amazing.

I can't wait. I can't wait.

Great job.

Steven... He's an
amazing singer.

But I only have two spots left.

I'm really looking for
a young female artist

who I can mentor.

So good! What a cutie! Whoo!

What a cutie! Beautiful!

Oh, my gosh, I love
you. What is your name?

My name is Rowan
Grace. I'm 16 years.

What?! Oh, my God! That's crazy!

You know what?

It's really hard to
do what you just did,

and at 16 years old,
to channel that emotion,

And I know you have
a lot of hormones

and you got a lot of
emotions and all those things.

But still to be
able to control it

and to be dynamic and
tender and then get angry,

you have to live to
be able to do that.

'Cause now I turn
around and find out

that you haven't
even lived your life yet,

and you're that good. I
know. Thank you so much.

I like your energy.
I like your outfit.

Thank you! I need
to work with you.

Come on, let's go. Oh, my
God. Thank you so much.

Ah! Rowan, where are you from?

I'm from Rapid
City, South Dakota.

We don't get a lot of
South Dakotans in here.

So I've heard.

Is that Dad over there?

Yeah, my dad and my mom and my
grandma are here. Hi, Mom.

I love you. Mwah.

They must be so proud.

Is anybody else
musical in your family?

My dad plays the drums. Uh-huh.

And when I grew up,
he was playing in bands.

I did not take
interest in the drums.

We had a drum kit
in our house, too.

My dad played, and my
brother took the drums

and I took the piano.
Yes, I play the piano, too.

I do open mics. Mm-hmm.

I was actually in
a band last year.

I did that.

I do write my own stuff. I started
writing when I was probably 12.

That stuff will never see
the light of day, for sure.

Oh, my God. Mine won't
either, from that period.

I also did musicals.

I'm super into theater
and all that kind of stuff.

I think all of those
things help you become

a better storyteller
as a vocalist.

And so much of what
we're looking for here

is more than just
being a good singer.

And I felt like you really
connected with the song,

which made it easier for you
to connect with the audience.

And the fact that
you're 16 and doing that,

that's not normal.

You know, I love
coaching artists

who have so much
artistry already inside them.

It would be so fun
to work with you.

Thank you so much.
I appreciate that.

Hey, Rowan! Hi, Camila!

Okay, she's singing
"Traitor," Olivia Rodrigo.

I'm gonna guess
that she's a young,

aspiring singer-songwriter.

And that makes me so
excited because I feel like

I could really coach
you through the nerves

and also finding out, you
know, what your specific lane is.

What kind of music
do you want to sing?

I like pop ballad stuff,

but I also kind of like
more like indie pop.

You remind me a lot of Olivia,
which is cool. Oh, thank you.

I would love for you to
pick me as your coach.

I'm inspired by you.
Thank you so much.

I also was gonna say
that I won "The Voice"

with Carter Rubin, who
turned 15 on the show.

And to watch him blossom
right before my eyes,

it was just a
magical thing for me.

Wow.

I'm the moron here that
didn't turn my chair around,

but I am very excited for you.

So many times, we'll see
somebody that's 15, 16

try out for this show,

and they're just nowhere
near as far along as you are.

Oh, thank you so much. Oh,
my goodness.

Alright, then. Oh,
is now the time?

Rowan... Oh, my gosh.

Who do you pick as your coach?

Oh, my God.

This is hard. Okay.

Come on, Rowan. Okay.

I choose...

Gwen.

♪ 'Cause I'm just a girl ♪ Aah!

♪ I'd rather not be ♪ Yes,
yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!

♪ 'Cause they won't let me drive
late at night ♪ Yes! I love you!

Thank you. Thank
you for choosing me.

I'm so excited about Rowan.

She was so intuitive.

The way she delivered the lyric

is what really took me.

I'm so proud of you.
Thank you so much.

You killed it.

That's for you. Oh, my God.

To be able to
be at this position now

to meet a girl that
has a dream like that

and to share what
I've learned is perfect.

So, um... Hi, Blake Shelton.

Love you.

Lucky me.

Yes! Oh, my gosh!
My team is so great!

I hugged Camila
Cabello and Gwen Stefani.

I feel like I have
my dream team this season.

She's really cool. I like her.

All, like, young,
arty. I like her.

She's really mature. Yeah.

I could tell by Rowan's voice

that she was young, and I've got

an artist on my team
that's already super young,

and my heart can't take
more than one of those.

I only got one spot
left, and I'm just waiting

for that perfect artist
that'll complete my team.

As our coaches
are completing their teams,

complete yours.

Welcome back to blind auditions

at Universal Studios Hollywood.

You see that?

I have a really good
impression of Blake clapping.

Like blah.

Yeah. What is it?

I do that? Camila: Yeah.

This is amazing. I know.

So cool. This is so cool.

Exciting. You got this.

You got this, baby. Wee.

Yes. You are a star.

You got this, mama.

My name's Yelka.
I'm 20 years old.

I'm from San Diego, California.

And I'm a
first-generation American.

My mom's from Peru,
and my dad's from Mexico.

They both came
with their families

at a very young age
for more opportunities

and to establish a life
for themselves here.

Growing up, I learned Spanish
before I learned English.

I'm very in touch
with my culture,

and it's a big part
of who I am today.

My parents have always
been extremely supportive.

Um...

Ah! Sorry.

Once I let the tears pass.

What they've instilled in
me is resilience, persistence,

and to always do the
best you possibly can,

not just in singing and
performing, but in life.

I see it in them. Like,
they're such hard workers.

I look up to them
a lot for that,

because it gave me a blueprint
of how I should live my life.

I'm very, very proud of her.

This opportunity, she's
really giving it her all.

And seeing her do that
at such a young age,

it just fills my
heart up with joy.

I love you.

I love you, mi amor.

I'm the first
person in my family

to attend a
four-year university.

I'm studying
communications and music.

It's a blessing to be able
to pursue my career goals,

to be a performer,
to be a singer.

For my blind
audition, I'm singing

"No Me Queda Más" by Selena.

This song is a
perfect representation

of my Latino heritage,

and I'm so proud and so excited
to be able to sing in Spanish.

Uh-oh.

Hello.

Oh, my gosh, you're little.

What is your name,
and where are you from?

Hi, my name is Yelka.

I'm 20 years old, and I'm
from San Diego, California.

Ah.

Yelka!

Hi, Camila.

Okay, cool!

When I first heard the
instrumentation, I was like,

"Alright, alright." That
got me really excited.

I love that you're
representing our culture,

and there's so much
creativity and excitement

and so many things
to work within that.

I think the reason
why I didn't turn around

was because I'm
looking for something

that gives it a little
bit of a... a twist.

Yeah. What is
gonna set you apart

and make it
different as an artist?

For example,
Rosalía started singing

traditional flamenco songs

and then she came
out with "El Mal Querer,"

which was flamenco mixed

with these hip-hop,
rhythmic beats,

and that is what set her
apart and made her Rosalía.

And you can show that
in your cover choices.

You have a lot of potential,

and I'm really proud of
you for representing us.

Thank you so much, Camila.

That was really lovely.

I think you have a
really beautiful tone.

It felt like you were a little
bit not sure on your pitch.

And so I was
hesitant to turn around.

You have a gift.

I think the execution
just could have been

a little bit better.
Thank you so much.

Thank you. Hey, buddy.
I was a little bit lost.

But your Spanish is so good.

I obviously didn't
know the song,

so I'm glad to hear all
the points Camila made.

Makes sense now,
hearing her say it,

but come back and see us again.

Yeah. I definitely will.

Thank you, guys, so
much. Thank you, Yelka.

With Yelka, I was intrigued,

but I only have one spot left.

Yelka, I'm so proud of
you. Muchas gracias.

For the final spot, I'm
looking for somebody

with that special sauce.

Somebody who, within the
first few seconds, I'm like,

"This is somebody different."

I am Constance Howard.

I'm 27 years old,
and I'm a teacher.

I've always taught fourth grade,

and it's been an
amazing experience.

♪ I'm gonna ace my test,
I'm gonna raise my score ♪

I love being able to
help younger students

and to see a light bulb go off

when you teach
them something new.

I found a way to kind of
catch my students' attention

by motivating them through song.

♪ School is my task ♪

♪ Yeah ♪ ♪ You
can pass this test ♪

♪ Yeah ♪ ♪
Reading and the math ♪

♪ Yeah ♪ ♪
Education is that swag ♪

♪ Can't nobody stop
me from learning ♪

That was the first time
that I actually saw them

excited to take that big
test at the end of the year.

My students know that music
is something that I love to do,

and they always ask,

"Why aren't you a
singer, Ms. Howard?

Why don't you go on 'The
Voice', Ms. Howard?"

My mom is also a teacher,
and she encouraged me to go out

for every solo at school,
every talent competition,

and she really supported
me with my music.

It's your moment.
It's your time to shine.

You've worked hard
since you were 2 years old

to get to this moment,
so we are super excited.

Have fun.

Alright, this is it.
I love you, guys.

We love you.

For my blind audition,

I am putting a twist on
"Peaches" by Justin Bieber

featuring Daniel
Caesar and Giveon.

My voice is unique,
because I have the ability

to go up into a
very high register.

Some people call
it whistle tones.

It's my secret weapon.

I'm super nervous,
because teams are filling up.

This is like a
once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

You either get it
right or you flunk.

And I don't plan on flunking.

I am so ready for this moment.

Well, well, well.

What is your name?

My name is Constance Howard.

I'm 27 years old, and
I'm from Katy, Texas.

Constance, that was so cool.

Honestly, it was so
creative and different.

You have so many
incredible places in your voice.

Are you doing
music outside of this?

You've got to be,
because it sounds like

you would be an artist
that's signed already.

I actually started off in choir.

I was a really shy student,

and my parents
really motivated me

and pushed me
to get in the studio

and do more stage
performances at school.

So it's been a journey. Okay.

You got a legend and you got...

Camila. Camila.

Hi, Constance! Hi, Camila!

I have one more
spot left on my team,

and I've been really careful

about who I pick
for this last spot.

There is nobody else
like you on my team.

I've been looking
for somebody like you

that has that character
voice, that distinctiveness.

You started off
really shy, right?

Yes. My choir teacher,

she's the one who got
me into hitting high notes.

I didn't know I
could hit them. Yeah.

And she's like,
"You can go further.

Just keep pushing yourself."

That's the power
of a good teacher.

Mm-hmm.

That really resonates with
me, because I used to be so shy

when I was younger. What?

Shut up. Liar! I-I swear. What?

Come on.

I never liked to sing
in front of people.

I was so, so shy.

And the first time that I
sang in front of people

was on a singing
competition show.

And I have come such
a long way from that.

I mean, clearly, Blake
begs me to shut up

in front of this crowd
all the time, 'cause I...

In this moment, I was thinking
about it. In this moment,

he's like... he's like, "When
is she gonna stop talking?"

I really love your
tone of voice.

I love working
with artists like you

that have a different
quality of voice.

That's just something
that God gave you, so...

Thank you so much. Thank you.

So I would love
to be your coach.

And I'm a pop girl, so... I see.

But I'm a pop girl with
some swag. Like, I'm not...

You know what I mean?
I do think that, yes.

Beat that, John.

I feel like we've heard
a lot about Camila.

Oh, burn.

In some ways you
reminded me of Rihanna,

'cause Rihanna, I think,
does a really effective job

of bringing, like, Caribbean

and African influence
into pop music.

You just have such
a special voice,

and then your chest
voice is so different

from those whistle
notes that you're doing.

I don't know if you listen
to Minnie Riperton, but...

I love Minnie Riperton.

Yeah, well, she was
like the queen of, like,

the soulful whistle
notes back in the day.

And you'll be able
to take any song,

like you just took
this Bieber song,

and really made it your own.

And I feel like the fun part
of working with you would be

just finding other songs
that you could take

and just transform them.

Every coach on here could say,

"You don't sound like
anybody on my team,"

'cause you don't sound
like anybody on the show.

I don't know if I've ever
heard anyone that sounded

exactly like you do, and I
would love to work with you...

Help you pick songs,
help you figure out

how to channel that into
a really successful time

on this show.

Thank you so much. Thank you.

Constance, I'm
sorry I didn't hit my button.

I have one spot left.

But you hit a couple of notes

in that song that
defies science.

But I think I've... That Blake
can't even hear anymore

with his hearing. Temporarily
paralyzed from those notes.

It's almost like my
ears never heard

something that high before.

But also,

when I saw these two
turn around, I was like,

"You know what?
This is..." You were like,

"You know what? Constance
should go with Camila."

That's what I was
thinking. I was like,

"Oh, my God, it's like a
match made in heaven."

We would make a great pair. I would
love to work with you, Constance.

I just feel like you're somebody...
Go ahead and last-word me.

Go ahead, Camila,
last-word me. I will.

You know what?
We're down to the wire.

I've one spot left on my team,

and I feel like it's you.

If we were on a dating
app for "The Voice",

I would swipe right and
you would swipe right.

Alright, Constance, who
do you pick as your coach?

I love you both.

And I grew up listening
to John and following him.

Okay.

However... However...

Oh! Uh-oh!

I'm gonna go with Camila.

Swipe right, baby! Swipe right!

♪ Ooh, ahh ♪

- ♪ I can't seem to... ♪
- It's exciting for me

to work with somebody who
has so many different styles

to their voice.

I think that there are
things that technically

she needs to work on, but
that's why I'm her coach.

That last note she hit
cracked one of my teeth.

Constance has a beautiful voice,

but I only have one spot left.

I'm holding out for
that unique voice

to add to my eclectic team.

Do you want to
take our first picture?

Sure. Okay.

I'm so excited
about Team Camila.

I have 14 artists that
have so much potential.

I have a little
bit of everything.

Every single person

has a point of view
that's interesting.

To me, it's so exciting
to work with a group

that is diverse musically,

and I like to just be
inspired by all of it.

My team is full!

Yeah!

We even have a team mascot.

His name is Eugene Fitzherbert.

He's one of my four doggies,

and he's here for the
mental and emotional support

of the whole team,
including the coach.

What do you think about Blake?

Oh.

♪ This is "The Voice" ♪

Welcome back to "The Voice".

Alright, this is it, guys.

Whoa. Oh, my
gosh. How did it go so fast?

Few more people to fill up
our teams, and then we're done.

Mm-hmm. This is crazy.

I'm just so sad that I won't
see you guys for a little while

when we all go work
on our battle rounds.

So what do you
know about battles?

Everything I know about battles

I learned... On Team Legend.

On Team Legend. Yes! Aww!

And everything I learned I will
now use against Team Legend.

Oh, oh.

Well, my thing about
battles is you never know

which of your singers
are going to shine.

That's a very good point.

I actually remember when I was

on the singing competition
show... Oh, yeah.

You can go from being, like,
under-under-under-under-underdog

to being like, "I'm here." Yes.

Let's not get
ahead of ourselves.

This is the last day of blinds,
and I have to finish my team.

Let's fill up these teams.
Let's fill up these teams.

Let's go. Whoo-whoo. Let's rock.

Oh, yeah, there we go.

My name is Justin Aaron.

I am 34 years old, and I'm
from Junction City, Kansas.

I've always loved you. I know.

Even when you
were giving me issues.

I know.

My mother was a single mother.

I didn't necessarily know
that we were struggling,

because she never would
let us see the struggle.

She took care of me and
my sister with little help.

My mom is my best friend

and recently she
moved down the street.

I did not plan it, like,
I got married

and she moved down the street.

I said, "You're too
close."

My earliest memories
are of her singing in church.

I would watch how people
would just, you know,

be mesmerized by her voice.

And it really shaped
me wanting to sing.

♪ Lord, if I... ♪

I connect with contemporary
Christian and gospel music,

because at the darkest points
in my life, it gave me hope.

I didn't get a
relationship with my father

until I was actually an adult.

It was hard, but he
was an amazing man.

His smile lit up the room.

Two years ago,
I got a phone call

from my sister, and she said,

"Dad is going to the hospital.

We believe he has COVID."

They put him in an induced
coma, and he passed away.

I just remember yelling out,
"I didn't get to say goodbye."

It just felt like I've been
punched in my stomach,

and I'm gasping for air.

I'm grateful that I get
to carry on his legacy.

And doing this, I'm
able to do something

that I know my dad would be
so proud and so happy about.

I will be singing "Glory" by
Common and John Legend

for my blind audition.

How I personally
relate to this story

is the power and the
emotion behind the song.

I've had to overcome depression
and the loss of loved ones,

and this song has
been very inspiring

to keep on pressing forward.

It's showtime, baby.

Oh, look at him.
He looks so good.

And I pray that when
he hears his song,

what I hope that is heard is
my life story but his words.

I don't know what's in
the air, but it's something.

My name is Justin Aaron.

And you just made
it onto "The Voice".

Whoo! Oh, my God!

Congratulations, man. I
was just kind of laying back,

preparing for an epic battle
between John and Gwen.

I don't know
why John didn't turn.

I don't know why the whole
world wouldn't turn for that.

That was incredible.

Thank you so much.

First of all, Justin, thank
you for doing my song,

because you really are
such a talented vocalist,

and I think I overanalyze it
when someone's doing my song.

That's my own
weakness, so don't think

that it's because you
did something wrong.

Thank you for doing it, and you
really do have a beautiful voice,

and I'm so excited that
you're on "The Voice".

It was an honor.
My honor, my honor.

Yes. Me and you are
going places, buddy.

Oh, my God.

The way that you can
manipulate your voice

in these long, like, stretches,

and... and it just, like,
soars into the next place.

I was, like, mesmerized by it.

It was so flawless
and beautiful.

This is meant to be. I
think what we can work on

together is really trying
to find your identity.

You know what I mean? Yeah.

That is something that I
think I can help you with.

We want people to
know your heart... Yeah.

And what you're trying to
say and connect with people

through the music, so wah-wah.

Wah-wah. Yay!

I love
you. I love you.

Congratulations, Justin.

the greatest singers

be kicking themselves

that they didn't turn.

They're gonna feel so stupid.

Yes, oh. John: Justin, again,

I'm always overanalyzing
when it's my song.

I'm ready to fill
up Team Legend,

but I'm waiting to be inspired.

My team is full!

Yes! John: Whoo!

Team Gwen is the team to beat.

I have an incredible
team of 14 artists.

They are so amazing, so strong,

so full of creative
artist vibes.

So I'm really looking
forward to getting in there

and working with
them and picking songs

and seeing how they
grow right before my eyes.

I cannot wait to work
with my team in the battles.

Yay!

Go, Gwen!

♪ Daly: Welcome back

to the final night of
the blind auditions.

How do you pay the bills?

I live with my parents, so
I'm not paying rent.

My dad is a lawyer.

My mom was a pharmacist.

My brother is kind
of like the poster child

of our family.

He's an engineer, married,

and I dropped out
of community college.

I'm August James.

I am 21 years old, and I'm
from Chatsworth, California.

There was definitely
a lot of butting heads

with my parents in
high school, especially.

They wanted me to go to
college, find a very stable career.

But I was an angsty 16-year-old.

Okay. I'm sweating so much.

♪ I don't wanna grow up,
I don't wanna grow up ♪

And so I shaved
my head right before

my senior year of high school.

My dad was not super
happy about it.

And then I wanted to learn
how to play the trumpet.

But my mom told me
that she thought I was

gonna mess up my lips, so we
landed on the saxophone instead.

But I was really obsessed
with Kenny G at the time,

so that worked out.

I've always loved singing.

And when I was 15,

I started taking voice
lessons and I learned guitar.

That really started to
inspire my love for rock music,

especially 'cause
the belty rock songs

definitely suit
my voice the best.

Thank you.

My parents are supporting
me at my audition.

I think that "The Voice" already
has kind of brought us together.

They've been a lot more
excited than I was expecting.

Oh, my goodness.

I feel so proud of my daughter
being here on "The Voice".

And as long as
you're doing your best

at whatever you choose
to do, I am proud of you.

Sorry. I
wasn't expecting to cry.

All I've ever wanted was to
make my parents proud of me,

because I am very
grateful for them

and all that they've given me.

Your time to shine, okay?

We'll be rooting for
you the whole time.

For my audition, I'm
singing Miley Cyrus'

version of "Heart
of Glass" by Blondie.

It's a little bit angry.

It's a little bit emotional,
very passionate.

I'm very excited to
be able to kind of just

put it all out there, be very
dramatic and loud.

I'm gonna be thinking
about my parents

Hi.

What's your name?
I'm August James.

I'm 21 years old, and I'm
from Chatsworth, California.

Hey, August, you had us
all in the first few seconds...

Seconds. Of that performance.

Like, it was like, "Whoa."

And it almost sounded like

you were running out of breath,

and then you didn't
have enough gas

to get up to some of the notes.

But your entrance into
the song, it woke us all up.

Then it just kind of felt
like it got a little wobbly

after that, for me.

It was almost hard for me to
hear what your tone of voice was

because your voice
was at this high intensity

the whole time. Yeah.

But I feel like you're
a really cool artist.

Thank you. Yeah.

Hi, August. Hi.

I think that that
was really cool.

There was something
so original about that.

But when you're
on a singing show,

if I'm only hearing
one kind of speed

the whole time, it is hard.

But I think you're really cool,

and I think that you
should keep doing music.

Thank you.

The song choice, I
thought, was daring.

And I thought the approach
you took to the song,

which did deviate
from the original,

was quite daring, too.

It just got ahead
of you a little bit.

It would have been nice to hear

the nuances of your
voice a little bit more,

and I think we just didn't get
that from this performance.

Thank you.

August... I don't
know if it was just nerves,

but I just thought she
was running out of gas

by the end of the song.

Right now, I'm just
waiting for the kind of voice

that I don't already
have on my team.

She can sing in that
really cool low area.

Yeah. She was so cool.

So, here is essentially
where we let everyone

become a winemaker for the day.

hardest thing I've done all day.

Bothell, Washington.

And welcome to wine country.

Look at that. Look at that. Wow.

And I do have a confession...

I know nothing about wine.

But I am a strong
supporter of apple juice.

So I'm your apple guy.

This is a new song that I wrote

about being alright on
my own two feet, I guess.

♪ I'm alright, I'm alright ♪

I perform at about 30 or
40 wineries in the area,

which allows me to play
100 or more shows a year.

I really got started
at songwriting

at about 10 years old.

And growing up, John
Mayer, Ed Sheeran,

those guys really
shaped my sound

and who I am artistically.

I'm super excited
to be on "The Voice".

I'm a huge fan.

What I love about this
show is that people are able

to express their
true artistic self.

And I am singing "Make
It with You" by Bread.

I think Bread is one of
the coolest '70s groups,

and it's exactly who
I am as an artist.

I definitely hope I stand out

by showing my
originality with this song.

Jaeden puts everything,
all of who he is,

into whatever he does.

He really inspires me.

His music is just a
reflection of... of his heart.

That's what's gonna
connect with the coaches

to get those chairs to turn.

I didn't even pay them
to say these things.

I've sung all around my
hometown in Washington State,

and the biggest crowd I've
played at was 4,000 people

opening for Chris Isaak.

I've worked hard enough

to be at a point where
I'm ready for this stage.

The teams are filling up.

But at the same time, it's
definitely a dream come true

and one that I
know I'm ready for.

I think I just have to
be me to get a chair turn

uh, the story that I have to tell.

that song so much.

And I don't understand why

'60s, '70s. Ask Blake...

One of my favorite bands...
I know every Bread song.

Honestly, that was so
beautiful. Sorry I couldn't press.

Congratulations on being great.

Thank you, Gwen, so much.

Some of my coolest
team members honestly

have come from Washington State.

I live in a really cool spot.
It's called Woodinville,

and there's literally like... Oh, I play
at that Chateau summer show, yeah.

I was gonna open for you, man,
but you didn't choose me, dude.

Wow.

Oh! Wha-oh!

Why don't you pick him, John?

If you could have picked
him, why didn't you pick him?

I... Honestly, I didn't know.

I mean, are you about... Don't
tell me that you didn't know.

I didn't see him. Oh, come on.

And then I actually had
some of my "Voice" artists

who were from that area
come up and sing with me.

Whatever's happening up
there, I feel like the scene

is really conducive to
creative, interesting artists.

And you are certainly that.

Everything that you
did just created this vibe

that was transcendent
and mesmerizing.

Just know that I love
bringing my team members up

on stage to sing with me.

This is something that could
happen if you join my team.

Ohh!

I am so mad that
my team is full,

'cause your voice is so special.

My first thought was, "I'm
gonna steal this guy, too."

But hearing you talk about
'50s and '60s and '70s,

and then Gwen was like,
"Oh, my God! I love that song!"

I was like, "Gwen
should steal you first.

And if she can't,
I'll save you, baby."

Thanks for saying, baby.

I-I might have been
singing it for you, so...

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

Ooh. What is happening?

Wow, Jaeden. Ooh.

Jaeden, you're
making my whole day.

Jaeden.

He is swiping right right now.

Ohh. Thanks, Jaeden.

You're so cute and
talented, and I like your style.

Thank you.

Whoo!

Hi, Jaeden. One thing that
we haven't talked about yet

is that bad-ass mullet

that you just drug up on
the stage, man.

That's hot. Yeah.

Thank you so much.

And just as much
as I love your voice,

I love your direction
a-as an artist in that music.

Gwen's not kidding. We
listen to Bread all the time.

I'd rather listen
to that stuff than...

Than me? No, I love you.

And I need your help right now.

I love your music so much.

And thank God for Camila.

Camila has single-handedly
saved music, as we know it.

I have one spot left on my team.

You could be the person
who completes me.

I would be honored for you

to be the last person
on my team, man.

Let's do this.

Let's do it for Bread!
Come on, man!

Let's do this!

Jaeden, who do you
pick as your coach?

Uh... Yeah, come on.

Who's he gonna pick? Who's
he gonna pick? I don't know!

This is so hard. I never
should've known you!

I never fired you.
John fired you.

I love you all so much.
Thank you for everything.

And I just want to thank
my beautiful mom and sister

who are here, too. Gwen: Aww!

That's sweet.

But...

T-The finger convinced
me, man, I gotta...

Yes! Jaeden! ♪ Don't wanna
scoot the boots with nobody ♪

You gotta start
doing the finger.

♪ Get straight tequila
drunk on nobody ♪

I'll tell you what, man.

Jaeden confirmed it...
I had him at the finger.

Tell me that you can
ever say no to this.

Could you say no to this?

Could you ever say no
to this? I don't think so.

Yes!

♪ Don't wanna scoot
the boots with nobody ♪

So forget Team
Blake, let's talk about flirting

with Camila Cabello.

That was so fun to watch.

That was hilarious.
So happy for you, man.

You sounded great.

Thank you, Jaeden.

My team is full! Yes!

So happy that Jaeden

actually literally
completed my team

as far as every
genre that I'm into.

I got a duo, I got
pop, I got country,

I got folk, I got
some rock on there,

and because of him,
I've got one of those guys

that does some of that throwback
'70s-sounding pop that I love.

Team Blake is
unbelievable this year.

The finger convinced him.

Nobody can say
no to that, right?

Looks like a worm.

♪ This is "The Voice" ♪

Welcome back to "The Voice".

I feel like there's
a-a little pressure,

because the
teams are filling up.

For a really long time,
I didn't quite believe

that I was capable of
even getting this far.

Just being here has proven to me

that if you believe in
yourself hard enough,

you can really just do anything.

Mm-hmm.

My grandmother was a
huge inspiration for me

when it came to singing.

She bought me a karaoke machine.

She's like, "Learn
all these songs

and you're gonna
be a great singer."

I was a really shy
kid growing up,

so she would bribe
me with money.

She'd be like, "I'll
give you five bucks

if you sing right now."

And I'm like...

It's like, "Fine, 20."

And I was like, "Alright,
now we're talking.

Let's do it." I'm proud of you.

For my blind audition,

I am singing "Bam
Bam" by Camila Cabello

featuring Ed Sheeran.

I really admire
Camila, being Cuban

and also being a female artist

and being a crossover
artist is extremely hard.

I hope I do the song justice.
I hope she likes it, honestly.

I've worked really hard
to get to this moment.

I've been taking music
very, very seriously.

I am a singer-songwriter,
currently a deejay.

And I'm always in studio
sessions bettering my craft.

I love to just give
people light and energy.

This is my time.

I've never felt this sure or
ready about anything, ever.

So I'm really, really
excited to do this.

Oh, my God. This is my song.

Oh, my God. Of course you can.

How are you? Congratulations.

Welcome to "The Voice".

Thank you.

You guys are beautiful.
What is happening?

What is life? Oh, my
gosh. You sang your hat off.

Whoo! I did.

It fell off. Wait.
What's your name?

So my name is Nia Skyfer.

I am 26 years old.

I am from... ♪
Havana, ooh, na-na ♪

What?

Nia, I have to tell you.

My team is completely full,

so I couldn't turn
around for you.

I forgive you.

No. I love your personality.
You're so fun and funny.

Thank you.

I'm getting, like,
star power right now.

Super. Oh, my goodness.

Like, I feel like there's
singers and then there's,

like, star energy.

You're so comfortable on stage,

you have amazing
style. Thank you.

You're adorable.

You were interacting
with the crowd.

You were like, "Hey, come
on, pónganle azúcar, mi gente,"

like, you know, that is
what I love about our culture,

what I love about our people,
what I love about our music.

And I really like your energy.

That's gonna make people fall in
love with you. Thank you so much.

That's the first time
somebody sang

one of my songs in the blinds,

so that was really, really cool.

How cool is that?
Such a great feeling.

That was also the first time
Blake has heard any of my songs.

Wow.

I literally... I looked
over, and I was like,

"She knows every
word of this song."

I said, "Do you know this song?"

She goes, "It's my
song." Oh, my God.

I was just happy he wasn't
like, "This song sucks, right?"

I was like, "Aww, I really
hope John picks her.

He's the only person that
can pick anybody right now."

I mean, I hope I can steal
you from him at one point,

because I love you.

I don't know, Camila, 'cause
you know my boy, John, here.

Hey! Hey!

Hey!

Well, Nia, welcome
to Team Legend.

I'm very excited to
have you. Thank you.

And I had to check with Camila,

because she
couldn't turn for you.

And I know you would
have picked her...

I would... I would
have turned for you.

If she was able to turn for you.

But I looked over
at her and said,

"Do you approve of
me pushing my button?"

And I was like,
"She's fiery, she's fiery."

Do it, do it.

I am so excited, because I think
you have so much charisma...

Yeah, so much charisma.
So much energy in your voice.

Thank you. It
really cuts through,

and it just feels
celebratory and fun.

You are the last person
to make it on to Season 22

of "The Voice", congratulations.

Jimmie Allen. The battles begin!

This is one of those

♪ This is "The Voice" ♪

Welcome back.

First day of battles.
First day of battles.

First day of battles.
Are you ready for this?

I'm excited. This is
the hard part, though,

because now you
fought for these people

to be on your team... I know.

And then you're gonna
tell them to go home.

I know. It's gonna
be really, really hard.

Yeah. But I'm also excited.

Like, I know what
my battles look like,

and I'm excited to
show it off to you guys.

And I don't think
it's gonna hit me

till we're actually there.

That one of them has to go
home, and I can only pick one.

You know, when
you were on that other

singing competition show? Yeah.

I remember it well. You
get to be the bad guy now.

I know. I have the power
now. Is that exciting to you,

or do you feel
bad about it? Uh...

Because you're making
someone's life... I know.

And you're ruining
another person's life.

With great power comes
great responsibility.

Wow. That's from
the "Gremlins", isn't it?

From the Gremlin herself.

Okay.

Yeah.

Oh, look at him.

Hey. You look good.

I found the biggest pants
I had today. Come here.

For my Season 22 adviser,
I brought in Jimmie Allen.

♪ Down home ♪

♪ Oh, you know
mama's still cooking ♪

♪ Them down home... ♪
Jimmie couldn't be hotter right now.

He's starting to hit his
stride as a major hitmaker

in country music, he's the
CMA New Artist of the Year.

He can relate to these
people who are still right there

on the edge of... of
having their moment.

Have you ever tried out
for something like this

along the way?
Yeah, I've tried out

for "The Voice" twice.
What'd they tell you?

"Unh-unh."

My bass player, Tate, did it

and made it farther than I did.

When I first heard Blake
wanted to bring me on,

I was like, "Man, how much
is he charging me?"

But it's very
rewarding to give back,

because I still see
myself as a new artist.

I've always wanted to
come see what I can learn

from what you're
telling these artists.

Your brains are gonna
be blown into the toilet...

Yeah, nice. and the
toilet's gonna flush itself.

A self-flushable toilet? Yeah.

Where you buy those at?

Oh, yeah.

This should be an
interesting pairing.

This kid, Austin, is 19,

but he does old-school,
traditional country music,

and he's just, like,
from another dimension.

And then Tanner came out
and auditioned with Travis Tritt.

But then he sounded so good,

you know, it's like, "I
gotta go in with this."

What's up?

Hey, hey, hey. How's it going?

He's even got, like,
a Kix Brooks shirt on.

Big belt buckle.

I got it at a garage
sale. No way, man.

Nice to meet you, dude.
This is Jimmie Allen.

I'm Jimmie. Nice
to meet you, man.

The adviser for
Team Blake is Jimmie Allen.

He also moved to Nashville
right around the same age

that I am right now.

And he's doing massive things.

You know, he's got number ones.
Everybody knows who this guy is.

So it's super inspirational.

Your voices are...
are really different.

I would rather sing with someone
that sounded nothing like me

so that way people
could tell when I'm singing.

I did a single with Garth.

I tried to be him my
whole life growing up.

So then when we were on
a record together, he's like,

"Man, we really had a hard time

being sure that people
knew which one was which,"

and without him saying... Yeah.

You're copying me, you
know? Yeah.

Before every time you
sing, you should be like,

"This is Blake."

Alright, well, let's
hear some of this, then.

Austin and Tanner
both kind of have this

vintage thing about them.

So I gave them "Folsom
Prison Blues" by Johnny Cash.

♪ I hear the train
a-comin' ♪ Whoa.

♪ It's rolling 'round the bend ♪

There couldn't have
been a better song pick.

I love this song.

♪ I'm stuck in Folsom prison ♪

It's about a guy who
didn't listen to his mom,

and ended up going to prison.

♪ And time keeps
draggin' on ♪ Yeah.

I've always just had
morbid stage fright.

I don't remember anything
from that first performance.

My mom and my dad
both, any opportunity I get,

they've always just pushed me,

and I know they're
the only reason

I've broken out of my shell.

♪ When I was just a baby,
my mama told me, "Son" ♪

♪ What'd she say, boy? ♪

- ♪ "Always be a good boy" ♪
- I've been pursuing music

for the past 10 years now.

My grandparents were
the ones that introduced me

to Johnny Cash.

They would always want
me to get out my guitar

and play it for them.

I can see my mom and
Nanny dancing around

and clapping the whole time
that I would be playing the song

and working on kind
of getting that deep end

of my voice rounded out.

♪ Now, when I hear
that whistle blowin' ♪

♪ I hang my head and I cry ♪

Why are we here? I don't know.

Honestly, you guys are great.

You guys need
to step it up, okay?

These guys killed it.

I'm glad I'm not
singing against y'all.

You can tell y'all
definitely have put time in

with your own individual
craft as musicians.

That's cool to see. Thank you.

Yeah. Thank you very much.

Tanner, your voice does
have a natural grit to it,

and it's so good the times

when you're singing
in the lower register

and you purposely put
that thing in there.

You don't have to do
that... Don't have to, yeah.

Because it's already in there.

And for you, man,
I think physically,

body language-wise, loosen up
as much as you can... Okay, okay.

You know, just have fun with it.

Show that smile
some more, bro. Alright.

Even when you're singing,
man, you're, like, you know,

show it.

What I like about
Austin's voice, it's a little bit

smoother, very
bluesy, early country,

but it has, like, kind of
like a lighter tone to it.

♪ Freed me from this prison ♪

♪ If that old railroad
train was mine ♪

I like Tanner, man.

He's definitely got
that Southern rock vibe.

- I
- definitely need to step up my game,

especially since Tanner has
been in the business 10 years or so.

One of the big things
I'm trying to work on

is getting a little bit of
a yodel thrown in there,

'cause that's almost like
a lost art in country music.

♪ Away ♪

10! A 10.

10! Thank you very much.

That was... You just dial
it back just enough, man.

Just enough? Good. It
was really good, yeah.

Perfect, thanks you, yeah.

To work with Blake and Jimmie,

two of the biggest names
in country right now,

it... it means more than I
could really say, you know,

and the experiences that they've
been through and the knowledge

that they've accrued
through their entire career,

I mean, it's priceless.

The challenge
I would give you guys...

Start to put together
what you want

your life and your
career to look like,

the type of music
you want to make,

the team you want around you.

Yeah, thank you, yeah.
Great advise. Perfect.

Y'all leave, go put
your feet in the pool.

I'd fly in to watch
them guys sing.

Man, that's how good it was.

And also, I want to fly
in to see Blake's face

trying to make a decision.

See ya in the ring. Y'all still
do that with the ring thing?

Yeah. Now that's dope.

And whoever loses gets
thrown to the alligators.

It's definitely gonna be
one of the toughest decisions

I have to make this season,

because this is gonna come
down to who I believe the most.

Holy shiitake mushrooms!

That was amazing!
That was incredible.

Thank you. Thank you.

That was like an awards
show performance.

It was so fun to watch.
That was pretty good, man.

I'll be honest, I'm not
familiar with this song.

Like, at first, I was
like, "Oh, this is cool."

And then I was like...

Austin, I'm curious,
because you're 19,

did you always have
that performance thing

when you were
like you did the shot

with the guitar and the cigar?

I've only been...
This is my like

fifth or sixth live performance.

You're joking. I've gotten
all this training, like, recently.

What on Earth?

You guys are both
great performers.

As far as who you should
pick to win this battle,

I don't really know.

After all that, you're not
gonna pick somebody?

That wasn't leading
up to anything?

I gotta think about it.

Well, take your time.
Just take your time.

I'll tell you tomorrow morning.

Okay.

I was absolutely blown
away by that performance.

I don't know if people realize

that a character
style like this is...

It's so hard to do.

It felt like I was back in time.

Even she knows that that
was a good version of a song

that she doesn't
know. I know. Yeah.

Austin, you did some rock
star yelling kind of thing.

I can't believe it.

Thank you. Like, I'm just
like, "Wow," that was...

Thank you. Thank you very much.

It was so good.
I appreciate that.

And, Tanner, same thing.

I mean, your voice
was perfection.

What blows me away is the
fact that Austin is so young.

I'd probably be more curious
to see what Austin's gonna do,

but you guys are both so good.

Thank you. Thank you.

Guys, that was phenomenal.

We don't stand for
everybody that performs.

Blake never stands
up, and it's his team.

He's tired. It physically hurts.

Austin is younger.

The fact that you're so
committed to your craft

and so naturally good at it

means you have
a lot of potential.

And then, Tanner, the second
you entered the song, it was like,

"Whoa, I'm in a
whole nother world."

It felt so real and authentic,
I would pick Tanner.

Thank you. Thank you, Coaches.

Alright, Blake, give
us some thoughts first

and then tell us
who won the battle.

You know, this
pairing to me, I thought,

"Well, this is gonna be weird,
because they're so different."

Tanner has a tendency
to go into the growl,

where Austin keeps
his tone a little cleaner.

And one of my notes was
clean up t-the gravelly a little bit.

And, Austin, maybe
you could lean in

to maybe a little
rougher edge. Mm-hmm.

And it was cool to hear Gwen
saying you did make it go there.

This is one of those
that's just tough, guys.

Blake, who's the
winner of this battle?

There's... There's
two ways to go here,

and they're both right.

Yeah, they're both right. Yeah.

But I think I've made
my choice here.

The winner of this battle is...
