Hey, Reba. Good morning. What's happening?
Oh, nothing. I'm just standing around thinking
how wonderful it's gonna be for me to win "The Voice" again.
[ Audience laughing ]
What was that?
Oh, that's my laugh track.
I never leave home without it.
It's like a mic drop, but with a giggle.
[ Giggles ] [ Audience laughing ]
I find it a little distracting.
[ Audience booing ]
Oh, they didn't like that.
They did-- Who's they?
Honestly, it's just the power of being Reba McEntire.
[ Audience laughs ]
Oh. You mean like Reba McEn-tired.
[ Chuckles ]
[ Crickets chirping ]
Don't worry about it, Michael. It's kind of my thing.
You have so many other talents.
[ Audience awws ] Oh. Thanks, Reba.
That means a lot to me.
Unfortunately, being a great coach is not one of those.
[ Audience laughs ]
See you out there.
[ Audience applauds ]
Announcer: 30 seconds out. 30 seconds out.
Reba: I'm just having fun.
This is my favorite part of the show, by far.
Oh, yeah. I love the blind auditions.
This is a really good TV show.
Except for Niall. Except for Niall.
[ Southern accent ] Y'all talking behind my back?
Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen,
our first artist is entering now.
Okey-doke.
[ Whispering ] Let's go, Cori.
Cori.
[ Whispering ] Let's go, Snoop. Come on.
[ Country music plays ]
Here we go.
* You've been lookin' for love all around the world *
* Baby, don't you know this country girl's still free *
Oh. Oh, there we go.
* Why not me *
* Well, you've finally come down to your old hometown *
Come on, Reba.
* Your Kentucky girl's been waiting patiently *
* Oh, why not me *
There, you got two. We got two. * Why not me on a rainy day *
* Why not me to love your cares away *
Oh, yeah. * Why not me *
* You've been searchin' from here to Singapore *
* Ain't it time that you notice the girl next door, baby *
* Oh, why not me * * Me *
* Why not me on a rainy day *
* Why not me to love your cares away *
* Why not me *
* Oh why not me when the nights get cold *
Come on, Snoop. Why not? Come on.
* Why not me when you're growin' old *
* Why not me *
* Ohh *
Oh.
* Why not me oh *
[ Cheers and applause ]
**
Reba: Whoo-hoo! Oh, yeah.
Very nice. Very nice.
Sister, what is your name, and where are you from?
Cori Kennedy. I'm 28 years old,
and I'm from Kasson-Mantorville, Minnesota.
Minnesota. Minnesota in the house.
I actually wrote a song about me meeting the four of you.
Is it okay if I play it for you guys?
Get out. Really? Oh, please.
Get it to me, girl. Get it to me.
Oh, I like this.
* Well, I'm just a girl from a zero stoplight town *
* Minnesota roots and wearing hand-me-downs *
* From dreaming in the dark, I step out and rejoice *
* My grandma won't believe me that I'm singing *
* On "The Voice" * * On "The Voice" *
* Snoop, I didn't grow up on your rhythm or your rhyme *
* But I know Willie Nelson, so I think we'll be just fine *
* Miss Reba, you raised me right on that sitcom screen *
* A single mom who works two jobs, my redhead fancy queen *
Yeah! * Niall, your happy smile *
* Lit up my teenage days *
* I was only smitten for Harry in my One Direction phase *
* Mr. Bublé, you sing like a Christmas star *
But have you ever tried to jump-start
a frozen Minnesota car?
* I'm not sure what I've done or why they even picked me *
* I must be doing something right, I'm singing on NBC *
Go ahead, girl!
[ Cheers and applause ]
Thank you. Let's go!
Yes. Hey, Cori, a little bit of advice.
Next time you on "The Voice," come out with an original song.
Bang! [ Laughter ]
Thank you. Thank you so much.
I'm just so thrilled to be back on "The Voice."
and to hear your voice on that stage singing,
oh, it just took me back to Tennessee.
Makes me homesick.
Aw, Reba. Your voice is wonderful.
Such power. Do you perform live a lot?
When I can. I still work a 9:00 to 5:00,
so someone's got to sell furniture.
You work in a furniture store? A commercial furniture dealer.
We do business, education and government and commercial.
Good. Do you do things at wholesale price?
Wholesale? I mean, no.
Shame. I was looking for a couch.
Well, I would love to have you on my team,
and welcome to "The Voice."
Thank you so much.
Michael: Hi, Cori. Hi, Michael.
You started off very low. Then you started singing
in the high range, and I was like, "Oh, my God."
It's like country with a little mix of Stevie Nicks.
And then Reba pushed her button.
You know what I did today? I wore these today for you.
Oh...my...gosh. Cori: Oh.
Meow. Yeah.
Reba socks?
Yeah! Reba socks.
Michael: These are Reba McEntire socks, baby!
[ Laughter ]
Yo, Niall.
You should see the underwear I'm wearing
in case I have to battle -- No. I'm kidding.
[ Laughter ]
I'm good, thank you.
That lady right there... Mm-hmm?
I call her Reba Magnet-ire.
[ Laughter ]
Anytime someone comes out here singing country music,
I'm gonna lose.
And I didn't want to lose.
So, I'm so happy that you're on "The Voice,"
and I'm so happy that you're gonna pick...
[Clears throat] ...a coach...
Yep. ...to be on a team.
So who do you pick as your coach, Cori?
Audience: Reba! Fiancé: Reba! Reba!
Seems like a foregone conclusion.
Yeah, it's -- at this point.
I grew up on that show, Reba.
I grew up listening to your music,
so it's Reba every day, all day.
Let's go, Reba! Look what you get.
Look what you get!
Cori is a spectacular singer.
That's a great song you wrote. Oh, thank you.
It is wonderful to get a strong country singer
that I can help out in some way.
Welcome. Wear it proudly.
If you're gonna tackle a song
that Wynonna Judd made famous,
girl, you better have your big panties on,
because that is a tough pair of shoes to follow.
We're gonna have a blast together.
That was really cute. Very good.
That was dope. Clever. Cute.
Michael: I feel like the only way
to get a great country artist on my team this year
is gonna be blocking Reba.
[ Laughs ]
She looks beautiful, Reba McEntire. Magnet-ire.
Producer: But -- You know, they're comfortable,
but they didn't work to get Cori on your team.
No, they didn't. And by the way,
um, the Niall Horan underwear that I'm wearing
are way too tight.
Niall: Michael, let me see them underwear. Come on.
I can't move, though, because now I've, I've --
I'm in a bit of a position here.
It's weird. Daly: Still to come...
* Oh, simple things, where have you gone *
Ooh!
* I've been saved by a woman *
I hope you join my team.
I might be the champion of the last two seasons of "The Voice."
By the way, I was the champion of two previous ones.
Niall Horan, you get two minutes for looking too good.
[ Penalty buzzer ]
What have you done, Bublé? Daly: And later...
* Why don't you stay, I'm down on my knees *
That was insane. I'm not gonna lie, I have an issue with Bublé.
I thought he was trying to block me.
I thought Niall was gonna block me. Niall was doing this.
Huh? Huh?
What? [ Laughs ]
* This is "The Voice" *
Daly: Welcome back to the blind auditions
at Universal Studios Hollywood.
How do you feel it's going? Dude, are you kidding me?
I love being back. I've been really enjoying it.
[ Whistle blows ]
Fun.
Gentlemen, we're back for a new season.
Everything is looking good, feeling good.
Now, you been on the bench for a year.
But I see the fire in your eye.
You playing to win, and I love that.
But here's what I want us to do as a team.
I want us to be blitzing from the outside, from the inside.
I want to run double two covers right here.
I want to make sure that we got that line blocked up front.
I'm-a run the ball. I'm-a get to the house.
I'm-a do my end zone dance. I'm-a run the ball.
I'm-a just keep running and running,
and I need y'all to run that defense.
Now, as far as the queen, Reba,
she don't need none of this. She got it all under control.
Alright, put me in, Coach. I'm ready to go, man.
I like that, Mike. Ooh!
Perfect position for you, referee.
But, uh, uh, stripes don't really slim me down
the way they should --
Mike, I need you to keep the crowd composed
and to make sure that everything is fair and square.
You got this, Mike. You got this. You the ref.
Bring it in, guys. Come on. Let's put our hands together.
On the count of three, we're gonna say win.
Win on three, win on me. One, two, three.
Win! Win!
Tap the wall and get out of here.
Tap that wall and get going.
Come on. Tap that wall. Y-You sure? Just the --
Tap the wall and get the hell out of here.
Okay, man.
[ Whistle blows ]
Announcer: Okay, here we go.
So, I'm about to walk on stage
and sing for four icons in this industry.
[ Laughing ] Oh, my God. It's insane.
Luckily, I've been around talented people before,
Sang background for Stevie Wonder, Andy Grammer,
Childish Gambino, Kirk Franklin.
But this is the first time that I get to show up as me,
as Revel Day.
Here we go.
Revel: Introducing myself to people
that can really change everything for me.
I'm ready to go make the most of it,
because the top of this year...
...we almost lost everything.
[ Police radio chatter ]
The fires are now the second and fourth most destructive
in California's history.
In January, the city of Los Angeles
was hit with devastating fires.
With me being an Altadena local, the Eaton fires were very close.
They ravaged the area.
14,000 acres of damage was done,
and that was just one fire in a sea of flames
that engulfed the California coast.
When the fires started, we were at home.
We could see the fires from our bedroom.
And so something was like, alright, let's just go
stay with a friend tonight.
I'm sure we'll be able to come back tomorrow.
It was jarring to drive in through the neighborhoods
and see so many houses burned down to rubble.
Mostly everything in Altadena was -- was gone.
It destroyed the town. It was absolutely devastating.
[ Siren wails ]
* Man, what a hell of a year it's been *
* Keep on bluffing, but I just can't win *
Revel: The fire came down our street.
Two or three houses burned to the ground.
Our house is still standing,
but unfortunately, there's severe damage.
There is asbestos and lead and smoke damage.
We can't go back. It's not safe.
And I don't know what's gonna happen next,
and I don't know where we're gonna go next.
So being in this process, I'm pinching myself a lot.
I'm feeling really grateful right now, for sure.
You know what you came here to do. You're gonna kill it.
Thank you, baby. I love you.
I love you. * I need some good news *
* Sitting here sipping on cold truth *
For the blind audition,
I'm singing "Somewhere Only We Know" by Keane.
It talks about that place that's just for us.
Being displaced from the Altadena fires was so hard.
Our house is a family home.
It's the house that I was born in.
It's the city that raised me.
And so I'm carrying Altadena with me in this moment.
So many people there lost so much.
To represent what our story is on this stage,
it's an opportunity of a lifetime.
* A little good news *
**
* Woo *
* I walked across an empty land *
* I knew the pathway like the back of my hand *
Wow.
* I felt the earth beneath my feet *
There's two!
* Sat by the river and it made me complete *
* Oh, simple things, where have you gone *
* I'm getting old and I need something to rely on *
* Tell me when you're gonna let me in *
* I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin *
* And if you have a minute why don't we go *
* Talk about it somewhere *
One more. Let's get all four.
* Only we know *
* This could be the end of everything *
* So why don't we go somewhere only we know *
* Somewhere only we know *
Whoo!
[ Cheers and applause ]
Congratulations. Oh, thank you so much.
We're happy for you. I'm so happy.
Oh, man. Oh, shoot.
What's your name, and where you from, Loco?
My name is Revel Day. I'm from Southern California.
That's right. Altadena specifically.
Niall: What stood out to me was the fact that it was
a big, round voice singing quite an indie song.
I think you did it so much justice.
I did feel like it kind of got a tiny little bit loose.
I think excitement with the crowd building up
and the chairs spinning obviously can do that.
Sure, sure. I don't think anyone really understands
how hard it is to audition on a show like this.
I've done it. I've been there.
Wow, I was terrible.
[ Laughter ]
I like that you chose a song like that.
It made me really think about
what we could do with you down the line.
It's gonna be good to have you on the show.
Thank you so much, brother.
Your voice is real round and full.
That's what I liked about it.
And you look like you're having a really good time.
I'm so happy to be here.
This is incredible. [ Laughs ]
You said you're from Altadena, no?
Yes, sir. Were you affected by the fires or --
Yeah, so, my wife and I have been displaced
for the best part of this year.
Oh, wow. Oh, no.
It's just been a tragedy for our whole state.
Listen, God has a plan.
I guess this is part of your journey, huh? Yep.
Well, you have a really beautiful, round,
very smooth voice.
When I heard that roundness and the control,
I knew you had it in you, you know?
Whether you choose Niall or Reba or M-Michael...
[ Laughter ]
...we're here to be coaches. The ambition we have
is to find out the best way we can serve you.
And so, um, I'd love you to join my team.
Reba: Very nice. Thank you, Michael.
So the reason why I didn't turn my chair,
the style of music you was singing, I was like, damn,
they already -- they got me on that one.
And they -- they turned first. To me,
you would fit with one of them way better than me,
because they would know exactly how to get
what you trying to get out of your voice.
And that's what they do best.
And I'm just happy that you got three chairs.
So, you do have a decision to make.
Which one of these coaches you want to roll with?
Oh, my. [ Audience shouting ]
He's gonna choose Michael.
[ Audience shouting ]
Wait a minute. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait a second.
It sound like we on "The Price is Right."
[ Laughter ]
Would y'all let him get his damn thoughts together?
"Revel, come on down!"
Who are you here with?
I'm here with my wife, actually. Bring her up with you, man.
Yeah, let her help make this decision.
Come on up, honey!
[ Announcer speaking indistinctly ] It's crazy.
Now they look like they on "The Newlywed Game."
[ Laughter ]
Michael: Revel, it's time to decide.
Who do you pick as your coach?
[ Audience shouting ]
**
First of all, thank you guys for turning.
I came in here with a plan,
and that plan has shifted a little bit, I think.
And so I think I'm gonna go Team Niall.
Oh! Yes! Oh!
Way to go, Niall!
Niall: I turned for Revel because I was so enamored
by a big voice singing
what is kind of like an indie pop song.
Welcome to Team Niall, everyone.
Thank you. Thank you guys so much.
I love Michael Bublé.
But when they let my wife come up with me,
I just started replaying Niall's words,
and I heard the intentionality.
And I can't wait to make Team Niall proud.
I wanted to go give them love, but they left me.
Turns out that Niall has shown up
with a little of the luck of the Irish.
Come on!
Or is he Scottish?
You shifted the emotions.
He said, "I had a plan,
but, uh, gotta change."
You know what, Snoop? I think she was a fan of mine.
[ Laughter ]
It's a tough start.
But Bublé never gives up!
I seen the debate they had. He was like, "I want Mike."
"Honey --" [ High-pitched ] "I want Niall!"
To out-pitch Bublé is a hard task, but I did it.
Daly: As our coaches start building their teams,
start building yours.
Get the "Voice" official app now and play along.
* This is "The Voice" *
Daly: Welcome back to the blind auditions.
Hey, look down here. I got Natalia socks.
He's wearing Natal-- I got these for Christmas for my Dad.
They're pictures of her face.
It's a picture of me when I was like...
I was like, two.
So, we love Natalia from tip to the toe.
Hi, everybody. My name is Natalia Albertini,
I'm 24 years old, I'm from Cherry Hill, New Jersey,
and this is my family's party balloon business.
My grandparents founded a party business,
going on for 40 years plus now.
I love working with my family
because they always seem to pop up out of nowhere.
I was behind that counter... probably 3 years old.
My parents worked full-time jobs.
That was daycare. We grew up in that store.
That store is everything to us.
Having a party business
is the reason why we bring the party.
I am Italian and I am Puerto Rican.
Partying is who we are.
Good food, good mood, good vibes, good dancing.
You're not gonna come to a party and not dance.
All my titis, all my aunts, are like, "Get up!
Come on, we ate, so now we're gonna work the food off."
My family has come
to every single performance that I've ever had.
People are like, "Where are you getting these people from?"
I'm like, "They're my family!"
I'm like, "Of course, I'm bringing them!"
Natalia's Dad: It's like the Hall of Fame of music.
We're gonna one, two, three, four, turnin' around!
That's what we're gonna get.
Announcer: 30 seconds out, 30 seconds out.
Natalia: I seriously am freaking out.
I'm overwhelmed with just the fact
that I'm gonna see these coaches in real life.
If one of those chairs turn.
Oh, my God, I think I'm just probably gonna start crying.
Announcer: Next artist is entering now.
That's our superstar right there.
Coaches, I am not going to let you down.
This New Jersey girl is going to show up and show out.
I'm ready for this. Snoop: Give me something magical.
[ Whispering ] Come on, Natalia.
Come on, Natty.
[ Gentle music plays ]
* Sometimes, I wonder *
Ooh. * Where I've been *
* Who I am * [ Cheers and applause ]
* Do I fit in? *
Congratulations.
She made it in one note.
* It's hard alone *
* Out here on my own *
* Ohhh *
* But when I'm down and feeling blue *
* I close my eyes so I can be with you *
* Oh, baby, be strong for me *
Hey, hey! Ha! Ha!
Yes! Yes, Reba! There's one.
* Help me through *
* Help me need you *
* Sometimes, I wonder where I've been *
* Who I am *
* Do I fit in? *
There you go.
* I may not win, but I can't be thrown *
* Ou-u-u-t here *
* On my o-o-o-o-own *
Yes! Yes, Natalia! Wow.
Yes, Natalia.
* My o-o-own *
[ Cheers and applause ]
Dude.
Uh-huh.
Oh, my God. What did we do, Bublé?
What's your name? And where are you from?
Oh, I'm Natalia Albertini, I'm 24 years old,
and I'm from Cherry Hill, New Jersey.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Wow, this is a first for me.
Snoop -- boom, turned. And then, Reba turned.
And then, something weird happened.
You were singing, and all of a sudden,
Niall and I were just looking at each other like this.
[ Laughter ]
And then, by the time I went to go push it,
the time had run out.
So, I would like the time back, please!
No.
My only regret is that Niall Horan
has the deepest, bluest eyes I've ever seen.
They are pretty, aren't they?
And that I could not stop staring into them
long enough to push the button.
Thank you so much. Oh, my God!
Snoop: Natalia! Hey there.
Mwah!
Mwah, mwah, mwah! Magnifico!
Hearing your vocals, I could hear the R&B and the pop.
You were so calm. You were so relaxed.
Even when you seen me turn the chair.
You pointed at me like, "Okay, good looking out.
but I gotta get back to it."
I like that, I respect that, that show-womanship.
You have a God-given ability that I'm loving, Thank you so much.
but I'm going up against Reba Magnet-ire.
You have a great coach with either me or Reba,
but I'd rather be with you.
He's selling it.
I think I'm gonna hate myself for that.
[ Laughs ] I don't know what we were doing.
Just like, "huhhh..."
Like, your voice is great. Niall: Absolutely incredible.
Thank you so much.
No! [ Laughter ]
I feel like I should, like, start bowing down to you.
Hold up.
Wow.
Niall: Oh, Snoop. Damn, I lost.
[ Laughs ]
It's alright, brother. Snoop, no!
Snoop, come back! Come back!
When you were singing a while ago,
I thought, "Well, that's not my wheelhouse."
But then, your singing touched me so much.
So, that God-given gift was used today.
So thank you for being the vessel.
Thank you so much.
So, Natalia...
who's it gonna be?
Oh, my God!
Oof. She's really torn, though.
I know. Who's she gonna pick?
I'm just gonna go with my gut.
* Snoop Dogg * Wow.
Oh, wow. Whoo!
Whoo! Go Snoop-i-doop!
Come here, girl, come get your love.
Natalia had a lot of range.
She had a lot of soul in her voice.
And then, the pop side, the way she was so composed
when I turned my chair, she was like, "Alright."
Her voice didn't change or crack, and I like that.
Thank you, guys!
Season 28 Blind Auditions,
it's like voices of all different genres
and different styles.
I think Team Snoop is doing pretty cool right now.
We got a couple of unexpected people that fell into my lap.
Way to go, Snoop. She's good.
Hopefully, y'all don't steal her.
I see how y'all looked at her!
Reba: Oh, we will.
Oh, my God.
This is the best day three ever.
* This is "The Voice" *
Daly: Welcome back to night three
of the blind auditions.
Announcer: 20 seconds out.
Oh, my God, I feel like this is the one.
Yeah, I think so, too.
It's the one, not the two.
Or the three or four.
Let's get a quartet that comes out here.
One, two...
Both: Three and to the four.
Snoop Doggy Dogg and Dr. Dre is at the door. ...at the door.
Yeah, yeah.
One more, one more. Here you go, here you go.
I'm gonna pick you up, ready? One, two, three!
Ooh!
Come here, sweet boy.
Good job, my friend.
You like that lamp? It's on a stool.
I love that lamp.
Mm-hmm.
He wants to hear what you're saying!
My name is Marty O'Reilly,
I'm 36 years old, and I'm from Sonoma, California.
Miles, we gotta put oil on the wagon.
Life at home is really great.
It's not easy, parenting is hard,
in case nobody told you,
but it's like hard work that you love.
[ Miles speaking indistinctly ]
My son, Miles, is fascinating.
I call him my spicy little meatball.
[ Miles speaking indistinctly ]
I treasure every moment.
Marty is Miles --
It's his biggest role model.
As a dad, he's the best.
Marty will pick up a guitar
and Miles will pick up a harmonica.
We're just so grateful
for everything that Marty does for us.
In 2012, I started a band,
Marty O'Reilly and the Old Soul Orchestra.
So, I've been a full-time touring musician for...
15 years?
And now, as an independent musician,
I play about 100 shows a year.
I think the younger version of myself
would be incredibly proud.
When I was a teenager, things at home were tumultuous.
My parents' marriage started falling apart.
As a kid, in that kind of situation...
you feel powerless.
I needed a way to escape,
and music was the way that I did that.
I think if you have a hard time when you're a young person,
it can start to feel like the world is just
always going to be that way.
[ Babbling ]
Every time I leave, I have a conversation with my son.
Do you remember that when I leave to go on tours and stuff,
that I'm doing it for you?
"Hey, I'm leaving, I'm gonna go play some concerts.
I want you to know that I'm doing this for you
because I love you and because I want to take care of you."
Mmwah!
You believe in me?
I love you, Dada.
I love you.
You got this!
Announcer: 10 seconds out.
I want to turn four chairs for my family.
There he is! Dada's right there!
Marty: Everything that I do is for them.
So, I'm just trying to muster all my courage.
Hopefully, it'll all pay off with the chair turn.
Look, there's Dada.
[ Folk music plays ]

* Trouble *
[ Cheers and applause ]
* Trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble *
* Trouble been doggin' my soul *
* Since the day I was born *
Wow, what a voice.
* Worry *
* Worry, worry, worry, worry now *
* Worry just will not seem to leave my mind alone *
* I've been saved *
* By a woman *
* I've been saved by a woman *
* She won't let me go *
* No, she won't let me go *
* No, no, no, no-o-o-o *
* No, no, no, no *
* She good to me now *
* She give me love and affection *
* I said I love her *
* And I love her *
* And I lo-o-o-o-ve her *
[ Cheers and applause ]
* Oh, trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble *
Man. I gotta take my glasses off for that one right there.
[ Laughter ]
What is your name and where are you from?
My name is Marty O'Reilly.
I'm 36 years old, and I'm from Sonoma, California.
California, baby! [ Cheers and applause ]
In my mind, I was like,
"Man, that sounds like something classic,
like I've never heard before.
I can't let this get away.
Then, I seen Niall and I was like, "No, you don't."
[ Laughter ]
And then, here comes Michael
with his following-the-leader butt.
And they all following me trying to get to you.
But I think I'm gonna get to you first.
[ Whispering ] Miles! That was...
I was so -- I was behind there just like this.
Oh, don't apologize. What do you mean?
I got four of those things.
The rasp in your voice is insane.
I've got the chills just...
even talking about it here. [ Cheers and applause ]
When you hear great character,
and it's something that stands out,
you just have to press the button.
Thank you, Niall.
Hey, Marty, it's Bublé, the leader.
[ Laughter ] Marty: Hi, Michael.
Oh, yeah.
I might be the champion of the last two seasons
of "The Voice" on NBC.
I heard you're going for three.
Niall: And by the way, I was the champion
of two previous ones.
Michael: You know what?
You know what, Marty?
Let's talk about hockey.
When somebody's a bad boy...
we put him in the penalty box. Penalty box?
And maybe it's time for a little penalty box, Niall.
Oh, Niall?
[ Buzzer ]
Niall: What is happening, Bublé?
I'm not sure this is even legal.
Let me get on out your way.
**
What have you done, Bublé?!
Niall Horan, you get two minutes for looking too good.
[ Buzzer ]
You're right. I do look too good!
Hey, Marty, I was hoping I could go down at the last second
and they wouldn't pick the person
we've all been talking about looking for,
which is the character voice.
I used up my one big gag to make this happen.
[ Laughter ]
I hope you join my team.
[ Laughter ]
Welcome to the show, Marty.
Thank you.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Go ahead, Niall. Go ahead.
[ Buzzer ]
I don't think he can talk anymore.
This is the best show ever! I'll speak for Niall.
He said he wants you on his team,
and I said I want you on my team,
and he said, don't listen to what Mike said.
[ Laughter ] Okay. Okay.
Okay, Marty, the time has come.
Who do you choose as your coach?
[ Audience shouting ]
**
I'm gonna go with Michael.
[ Cheers and applause ]
It worked! It worked!
I knew things would turn around.
Welcome to Team Bublé. Let's go.
Awesome, Marty.
Marty has a great character voice,
and I think that he has a great chance
of bringing me my three-peat.
It's big.
Awww! Oh, who's this?
Michael: Hey, dude, your dad's amazing!
Amazing!
Beautiful family dynamic,
and I think we pull from that.
I think this guy has a lot to give,
and I think the audience
is gonna fall in love with him and his music.
I hate Michael Bublé!
[ English accent ] Bublé, you're up to your old tricks again.
Bublé can only win this off me...
if he cheats.
Naughty! Naughty guy.
I used my very Canadian trickery,
and it actually worked.
Okay, I think we can move the penalty box now.
It's the quietest I've heard Niall so far.
I love Reba and Snoop, but it's important that I say...
don't cross me,
because I'll put you in the penalty box next.
[ Buzzer ]
I don't come here to really lose.
That was the best one I've seen on the show.
Really? Sure.
Niall: I still have my block left.
So, my fellow coaches...
you better watch out.
* This is "The Voice" *
Daly: Welcome back.
Announcer: Places, please.
You know what? Bublé's had a tough time around here.
Cori: Meow, yeah.
Niall: He's back at it again, pulling out the stops today.
Niall Horan, you get two minutes for looking too good.
Niall: All of his shenanigans, I'm sick of it.
Take your shtick somewhere else Bublé.
Yeah. Hey!
I'm J. Blake, I'm 35 years old,
I'm from Memphis, Tennessee.
This is definitely my happy place.
Being here on the set of "The Voice" church is wild!
It's wild!
Growing up in Memphis, Tennessee,
you are engulfed in soul.
I feel like I've been an entertainer my entire life.
Before he was born, when I was carrying him,
his father used to play music
and he would get all moving and everything.
So, he started within the womb. In the womb.
Come on. You gotta get louder than that!
I've been an emcee host for the last 8 years.
As a performer, I'm always shooting
to try to engage with the audience.
Let's go, let's go!
I've hosted the NFL's championship game four times.
I've hosted for Disney, Fujifilm, Nerf, and Hasbro.
I absolutely love it.
God is good, I've been able to kind of
make a name for myself in this space.
After 10 years
Announcer: 40 seconds out. of introducing other people,
I finally get a chance to introduce myself,
my gift to the world.
Announcer: Our next artist is entering now.
All these coaches are masters,
and I'm confident that "The Voice"
will give me the tools needed
in order to be the best artist that I can absolutely be.
A chair turn could change everything.
[ Up-tempo music plays ]
**
* I took a page out of your favorite book *
* You sold me lies just by the way you look *
* Taught me a language that I'd never speak *
* Baby, that ain't for me *
* That ain't for me *
* No more thinking about you late night *
* No more running around with your friends *
* Now, done picking the pieces of my soul * Come on! Yeah!
* Up off the floor *
* Said I would die for you, baby * Yes!
* But I can't take this pain no more *
* I thought I was willing *
* But tonight, I saved my life when I showed you the door *
* Lose you, baby *
* Won't play this game no more *
* Thought it would kill me *
* Tonight, I saved my life *
* When I showed you the doo-o-o-r *
Damn! * Oh, oh *
[ Cheers and applause ]
**
Aww!
Hey, y'all.
What's your name? Where are you from?
Hey, I'm J. Blake. I'm from Memphis, Tennessee.
M. Niall: Oh, my God.
Absolutely incredible song.
My great friend wrote that song,
and I thought you did a great job.
There was a couple of pitch issues.
I could tell by you now, you were performing.
You were moving around.
Thanks for coming down to the show.
Reba: Hi, J. Blake.
Why don't you tell us a little bit about yourself?
I'm a live event host, emcee, warm up guy.
That's what I do.
And I sing and lead worship at my church.
When God gives you a love of music,
that will never, ever let you down.
So, you've been given a gift
that just keeps on giving your whole lifetime, J. Blake.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
Here's what I want to say as just a little bit of advice
for moving forward.
Whenever you're on a show like this,
sometimes you want to pick songs from the church.
You want to pick songs that have a feeling rather than a sound,
so we can feel who you are rather than hear who you are,
because we don't get a chance
to really put it all together
from having our chairs turned around.
And I know you come from the church background,
and if you an emcee,
you got church and you got that spirit.
So, if you get an opportunity to come back,
I would love for you to grab something
up out of that Bible, up out of that church.
Yes, sir. Sing something with some spirit on it
so we can turn them chairs around for you.
[ Cheers and applause ] Absolutely.
God bless you, J. Blake. Thank you.
Niall: Give it up!
I didn't turn for J. Blake.
The most important thing around here is song choice.
It's an amazing song,
but maybe not the right song for this exact moment.
We love you!
There's no doubt every singer
that comes on here has potential.
He got better and better and better. Reba: Yeah.
Niall: Once I get that gut feeling,
that's gonna make me press my buzzer.
It doesn't matter what genre it is,
it's all about the voice for me.
The nerves just crush you.
I wouldn't make it past first audition, probably.
God, I would fail so miserably.
He an emcee, Mike, he ain't gonna be hurt, he good.
They got to be tough.
* This is "The Voice" *
Daly: Welcome back to the blind auditions.
Niall: You know what, Coach Snoop?
I'm not sure if I have it anymore.
I took a year out. Maybe I took too much time out.
I don't know the plays.
That playbook right there,
I need you to learn it in seven minutes,
and it's gonna get you back on your feet.
But these right here,
these are the most effective plays.
47 inside, 22 pile, 48 draw,
5, 6, 7 dive to the inside,
and one, two, three, and to the four, close the back door.
You learn these plays right here,
you're gonna be just fine.
Seven minutes. I'll see you out there.
Whoa, I'm not sure about this.
One, two, three to the four outside?
What's that even mean?
Kayleigh: This is my girl right here.
I definitely want the Queen of Country.
Ramsey: I'm a Snoop guy. I love Snoop.
I would love to be on his team, too.
**
Down here in the South, since it's so hot right now,
we have to keep it kinda cool in the chicken houses,
so I can't open the door for too long,
but I can give you a little sneak peek.
**
I'm Kayleigh Clark, I'm 20 years old,
and I'm from Sumrall, Mississippi.
My dad owns a chicken farm.
We've got four chicken houses.
They're a little more than a football field long.
There's about 100,000 chickens total.
Ramsey: Every morning, we start around 5:00 a.m.
There's a lot of feed, a lot of water, a lot of shelter,
a lot of making sure that air flow,
and they have what they need.
Kayleigh: You gotta go in there and clean everything up.
It's not a glamorous job, but the farm life is all I know.
I've never done anything else, other than music.
My uncle has a band.
He has played all around, you know, Mississippi,
and I would get up on stage with him,
and that's how I kind of got my start.
My dad plays the guitar,
and he bought me my first guitar when I was 10,
and I started playing and started writing,
and then the older I got, I kind of used it as an escape
to get away from everything that was going on at home.
From the minute I was born, I've been a daddy's girl.
We've always been very close,
but we would know that he'd be drinking
'cause he would try to hide it,
because he would be in my brother and I's playroom,
and for the longest time, I wouldn't go...
[ Chuckles nervously ]
[ Voice breaking ] I wouldn't go in that room.
It dominated my life, um,
times that...
I wanted to show up for my children or my family,
um, alcohol won.
Kayleigh: Growing up, when I would listen to music,
that's really helped me,
I wrote a song about my dad
because I wanted kids with alcoholic family members
to see that, "Oh, I'm not alone in this."
* There's a picture of a little girl *
* Sitting on her daddy's lap... *
It's very hard, seeing somebody that you love
struggle with addiction, but...
I would go through all that again
to get the man that he is now.
* Guess when I was growing up *
* You were growing up, too *
I've been sober a little over three years now,
and uh,
there's no way to put it in words
to be able to show up for your family.
[ Voice breaking ] I love you. I love you, too.
This is one of the biggest things of my career,
that you get to be here and experience it with me.
So, it means a lot.
I like old country music.
I like classic country music. Us, too.
You know how Ray Charles made that country record? Yeah.
That's what I want to do.
You better call me. I'm doing it. It's happening.
Good luck, everybody. Yes, sir. Let's go!
Kayleigh: It would be incredible to work
with any of these coaches.
They are all so strong,
they've all been in the industry for a long time.
Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, our next artist is entering now.
Kayleigh: This is all I've ever wanted as a little girl,
and I'm feeling very nervous, but I'm ready.
[ Whispers ] Come on, come on.
[ Country music plays ]
**
* I've been sitting here staring at the clock on the wall *
* And I've been laying here, praying *
* Praying she won't call *
* It's just another call from home *
* You get it and be gone *
* And I'll be crying *
I can't wait. [ Cheers and applause ]
* What do I have to do * Not finna play with you.
* To make you see *
Wow. * She can't love you like me *
* Why don't you stay *
Yes! * I'm down on my knees *
* I'm so tired of being lonely *
* Don't I give you what you need? *
* When she calls you to go *
* There's one thing you should know *
* We don't have to live this way *
* So, baby, why don't you stay? *
[ Cheers and applause ]
* So, the next time you find *
* You're gonna leave her bed for mine *
* Why don't you stay? *
* Baby, why don't you stay? *
[ Cheers and applause ]
**
You have a one...
All: Two, three, and to the four.
Oh, my gosh!
Hi there. What's your name? Where are you from?
My name is Kayleigh Clark, I'm 20 years old,
and I am from Sumrall, Mississippi.
Yoo! [ Cheers and applause ]
Absolutely incredible. I loved your song choice.
You sang it beautifully
and I would love to have you on my team
as a fellow country singer.
You did a wonderful job and I'm very proud of you.
Welcome. Thank you so much.
That means so much to me.
Michael: Kayleigh, I had to turn.
I could literally see the goosebumps
on Niall Horan's arms from where I was sitting.
I love country music dearly.
I love it so much that I've been telling Reba
I'm gonna go to Nashville and make my own country record.
I know it sounds weird. Heck, yeah!
Anyway, I'd love for you to even consider me,
even though you have literally the Queen,
the greatest of all time. Thank you so much.
Kayleigh. I'm not one to, you know, count or whatnot,
but I think I was first.
I think you were, too! [ Laughs ]
It's a friend of mine named Ricky Bobby,
he says either you're first or you're last.
That is exactly what my daddy tells me all the time.
[ Cellphone rings ] Is that what your daddy said?
Hold on, let me see who just called right now.
I'm on TV and somebody's calling me.
Let me call y'all back
'cause y'all getting on my damn nerves.
[ Laughter ]
But Kayleigh,
taking a chance with me would be something different.
I will give you the room to grow,
and I will also assist you and coach you,
and give you information to help you become
the artist that you are.
Thank you so much.
I just had to turn based off the goosebumps.
You had one of those really unique voices,
kind of like in a Carrie Underwood kind of style,
and it really pierced through.
I can guarantee I don't even have to ask you this question,
but you write songs?
That's right, that's right.
I can always tell by someone that knows
how to portray a feeling.
So, I would love to work with you.
Thank you so much. [ Cheers and applause ]
Who's the fam with you?
My mom and my dad. They're right over there.
Michael: Hey, Mom and Dad!
Bring your Mom and Daddy on stage
so they can help you make the decision. Oh, snap!
Daddy's gonna have to give you a hug now.
Oh, he sees you.
It's all you right here, man.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Hey, big dog, how you been?
Ramsey: Good.
Snoop: Hi, Mom. Reba: Wait a minute.
I want you to do that when you come up here to me.
[ Laughter ]
Now, come on.
I've always wanted to meet you. I like that, too!
She wants the Snoop Dogg hug.
Oh, you know what?
I'm not gonna hug you, I'm just gonna throw a football.
Here we go. Oh, no!
You got this! You got this, Big Papa!
[ All cheering ]
Let's go --
Ooh!
You know what? What a cool moment for you to get to watch
your kid that you love more than anybody will ever know.
It makes me emotional, I got four beautiful kids,
and I can't even imagine how I'd feel.
[ Sad trombone effect plays ] I'm so happy for you guys.
[ Laughter ]
Somebody take that button off her, now!
[ Laughter continues ]
Oh, Reba's crushing us in every way!
Alright, Kayleigh, before it gets any more ridiculous.
Who would you like as your coach?
[ Audience shouting ]
Reba!
$4.99!
Reba! $2.36!
* This is "The Voice" *
Daly: Welcome back.
Who would you like as your coach?
Miss Reba, I love you so much.
I have looked up to you for my whole entire life.
But I think I'm gonna have to go with Niall.
[ Cheers and applause ] Snoop: Let's go, Niall!
Ride 'em, cowboy, let's go!
Whoo!
There is a chance that I could become...
a country coach.
Who would have thought?
It's happening, people.
Yeah!
Four chair champion is well and truly back.
Wow, I'm shocked!
Kayleigh is one of those just undeniable voices.
It's so clean. It's so pure.
I stole a country music artist off the Queen of Country.
I don't know how it happened,
but I'm so glad she's on Team Niall.
I was not expecting that at all.
I picked Niall because a lot of country people
are gonna go with Reba, and he could teach me
how to put even more soul into the music that I sing.
Awesome!
Reba: When Kayleigh chose Niall, I was shocked!
Nobody is staying with their genres.
They're coming after the country artists
because country artists do very well on "The Voice."
Very smart, but...
I gotta get my game up!
I can't believe what's going on!
Michael: Kayleigh, she's 20 years old,
but Snoop, and I, and Reba,
we might as well be 3,000 years old.
Because once any 20-year-old sees Niall Horan...
the thing is over!
The reason I want to have a country person
on my team so bad is because I revere the genre.
I love it. You know what I think?
[ Audience booing ]
Niall: Reba has all these tricks and buttons...
Both: Boooo. [ Laughter ]
Niall: ...that nobody else has.
I need to talk to some people about that.
I would like some of those.
[ Imitates sad trombone ] Womp womp.
That is awesome.
This is the most unpredictable show.
Hey, Snoop, who called you?
A bunch of my friends knowing I'm on TV right now.
Oh, that's funny, man.
Alright.
Let the fun begin.
Snoop: Let's go.
[ Up-tempo music plays ]
* Da-da-da-da, da *
Ooh, a little Lionel! * Well, my friends, the time has come *
* To raise the roof and have some fun *
* Throw away the work to be done *
* Let the music play on *
* Play on, play on *
* Everybody sing and everybody dance * Ooh!
* Lose yourself in wild romance * Come on!
* We're gonna party, Karamu *
* Fiesta, forever *
* Come on and sing along *
* All night long *
[ Cheers and applause ] * Whoa-oh *
* All night long *
All night! * Yeah *
* All night lo-o-o-o-ng, all night *
* All night lo-o-o-o-o-ng *
* Everyone you meet, we're dancing in the street *
* All night long *
* Yeah *
* I said, everyone you meet *
* We're dancing in the street *
* All night long, oh *
* Oh, oh, oh *
Whoo! Yeah!
It feels good, it feels good!
* All night, all night *
* Everyone you meet, we're dancing in the street *
* All night lo-o-o-o-o-ng *
[ Cheers and applause ]
Reba: Ooh, yeah!
Let's go!
Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
Young man, what is your name and where are you from?
My name is Daron Lameek,
I'm 35, and I'm from Queens, New York.
[ Cheers and applause ] New York, New York.
Big city of dreams, but Daron, let me say this, brother.
You did a great job of singing that Lionel Richie,
"All Night Long."
You got two great coaches over there
that could definitely coach you up.
Welcome to "The Voice."
You did an amazing job. Thank you, brother.
[ Cheers and applause ] Thank you, thank you.
I don't know if you can see me back there.
I was dancing and singing.
Do you do this for a living?
I definitely do this for a living.
The most recent thing that I was doing was...
I was one of the Commodores before I came out here.
No kidding. That's amazing.
Wow!
Daron: The last six months,
I've been performing with the Commodores.
It's been such a privilege to be a part
of such a legendary group.
I really know the dance moves.
Oh, yeah. There you go.
Then, you hit him with a--
That's all you get! That's all you get!
With their blessing, I've been able to come do this show.
The founding member, Wak, said,
"Go out there and show them why we had you in here."
It's crazy to actually get to this moment.
Niall: Daron!
Dude, that was insane, I'm not gonna lie,
Bublé, I thought he was trying to block me!
So I was like, "I'm not allowing him to use his block."
But honestly, that was such a great audition.
I would like to hear,
like, a next level to your song choice.
I think there's so much more range
in there for you to go after,
but you're in the show now, so you can do that next time.
So, I wish you well. Welcome to "The Voice."
Take your pick, kind sir.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Whew! Reba: Hi there!
I know you have a lot more range
because you were singing up here
and then you started talking down here,
so I can't wait to see what else
you hold in store with your vocals.
I'm a huge Lionel Richie fan.
You did the song great justice.
Welcome to "The Voice," and I'd love to have you on my team.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Thank you, Reba.
By the way, I thought Niall was gonna block me.
I'm literally looking beside me,
and Niall was doing this.
Huh? Huh?
I didn't know what to do!
And then, of course, it's Reba.
No one wants to go against Reba.
She is maybe the most iconic,
greatest female star in American history.
[ Cheers and applause ] Oh, wow. Wow.
What makes it worse is your face when you saw her!
[ Chuckles ]
You did this, it's a--
[ Gasps ] Hi!
[ Laughter ]
You know, I don't want to fight against her!
[ Laughter ]
Niall: Alright...
Who would you like to pick as your coach?
[ Audience shouting ]
Daly: What do you think? Reba?
I think Michael. Bublé?
$1.99!
Daron: Wow. $2!
I didn't know it was gonna be this difficult.
Uh, but I'm gonna go...
with Reba.
[ Cheers and applause ] [ Squeals ]
Reba McEntire, the GOAT!
She has struck again!
And look what you get!
When I'm picking a team,
I listen and I turn for different genres,
because that's what I grew up on.
Thank you so much!
With Daron moving forward,
I think we can do wonderful things.
I'm so glad he chose me.
He's a great singer, had a great look.
He was the perfect package.
I love your voice!
Thank you so much. I love yourvoice!
Thank you very much!
The GOAT has struck again.
You know, it really doesn't matter if you win,
but if you're gonna win,
you gotta beat Michael.
[ Ding ]
I bow.
Oh, get out of here!
Michael: I mean, taking on Reba McEntire
is always hard.
She is a television star,
movie star, recording star.
And listen, her team is represented
by a lot of different genres.
You know, Reba is gonna be dangerous as usual.
I'm thrilled to death with that.
Good for you. Reba: Thank you, thank you, thank you!
[ Strained ] So happy for you, Reba!
I'm so happy for you, Michael.
[ Laughter ]
You can do it, Bublé!
[ Laughs ]
You're good enough, smart enough,
and your mom loves you!
[ Laughter ]
* This is "The Voice" *
Daly: Welcome back to the blind auditions.
What are you doing?
I just wanted to see if I just --
No, I thought there was a magnet there.
Is my camera different than yours? Your camera...
Why do I look so much skinnier?
Sexier? And my hair's a little...
a little more rouge.
Come sit with me.
**
I remember them not turning the chairs.
[ Laughter ]
* Sometimes *
So, I was part of Season 25.
Didn't get a chair turn.
I've already got three male country singers.
I can't lie, it was kind of deflating.
But I'm not the same artist that you saw in Season 25.
You see my face up there?
No. [ Laughs ]
Couldyou see my face up there?
Oh, yeah.
Future-wise, yeah.
I grew up playing sports.
We were always told to keep practicing,
keep putting the work in.
And that's why I am so pumped to be back.
It's like a dream, really.
I hope Reba turns for you.
This is my second time
attempting to get her to turn her chair.
Reba being back
is really exciting for me as a country artist.
I want to prove to her
this no-chair-turn made himself better.
Since my audition,
I've probably played over 200 shows.
I've been doing a ton of restaurants, bars,
different events like House of Blues.
I'm a full-time musician now.
I'm starting to really find who I am.
Chelsey: I'm super proud that he's trying again.
This is where he's supposed to be,
and his dreams are going to come true.
My wife Chelsey and I, we've got three kids.
They really encouraged me to come back.
Turn it up some.
[ Laughs ] Yeah.
My oldest being here with me.
I think it's going to be one of those core memories.
Smile and sing really good.
I'll do my best. [ Chuckles ]
Announcer: Our next artist is entering now.
When I left here last time,
the greatest thing that I received was
"'No' is not the same thing as never."
You have to go for it. You have to keep dreaming.
Keep believing.
The biggest thing that I have at stake,
coming back here for a second time,
is proving to myself that I belong here.
Want to hold my hand?
**
* I tiptoed into the room *
* And I know you got to have your rest *
**
* She says, "Come lay beside me *
* I been waitin' since you left" *
Two of them! Reba turned.
* She's sweet to me *
* I must be the luckiest man alive *
**
* Did I tell you, baby? *
* You are the joy of my life *
**
* Yeah, now *
* Just take me by the hand * Oh, yeah!
* I am the luckiest man alive *
Niall's just right there.
* Did I tell you, baby? *
* You are the joy of my life *
Come on, Snoop. Press the button, buddy.
* Oh, oh, oh *
* Ohhh *
* You're the joy of my life *
[ Cheers and applause ]
**
Aww, poor Reba.
Oh!
[ Laughs ]
I love you so much, Reba.
The love I have -- you know how much I love you?
I love you so much that I blocked you.
That's the respect and admiration I have.
When I heard your voice, I knew
I could not allow Reba to be in the competition with me.
Understood. Understood.
What is your name, and where are you from,
you incredible man?
My name is Rob Cole.
I'm from North Carolina,
and I am 34 years old.
You were here when I was on the show, correct?
A couple seasons ago,
I was standing right here on the stage. No way.
Season 25, I was a no-chair.
Man, I'm so glad you are in now.
It really caused me to -- to go after it.
"No does not mean never."
It's not the same thing. Damn straight.
Amen. Amen. Reba: Amen.
You're on Team Bublé,
and I don't have to battle with anybody.
I don't even -- we don't have to talk about any other stuff.
[ Laughter ]
I'm gonna have to go and buy a bag of lemons
so that I can suck on them to get the smile off my face.
Oh, my God.
I love it, I love it.
Big Rob. My man.
Hey, Rob, you already know I had a spot for you.
But when I seen -- I seen Reba got blocked from --
I have peripheral vision, something that they don't have.
Got you. But let me say, this, man,
when you went off into that sound
like you was John Cougar Mellencamp,
you started roaring, growling. Come on.
I'm liking -- I'm loving all of that right there, man.
So, I'm happy that you on the show -- Thank you.
...and that you got a great coach like Mike
who's gonna challenge you and give you different things.
Now you're back. What a coach.
What a bright future, so let's go, baby.
Thank you so much. Thank you.
[ Cheers and applause ]
By the way, I didn't turn
because I thought Reba was just gonna... [ Laughs ]
I just thought not a chance if I turn for that one.
But I'm so happy that... [ Chuckles ]
Well, I'm not happy for you anymore.
You better not be.
[ Laughter ]
I was hearing, like, crazy,
like, Gavin DeGraw kind of vibes going.
I love Gavin. Like, and I feel like that --
that you lean a few different ways in my head.
You're in good hands, man. Welcome to the show.
[ Cheers and applause ] Thank you so much.
Michael: Honestly, dude, I love country music so very much.
So, this is -- I'm pumped, man. I'm pumped.
You're gonna have fun, Rob. I'm so excited.
Thank you all so much. Gonna have fun.
And we've got a little thing called Steal.
[ Laughter ]
Look out! Come on, y'all.
[ Cheers and applause ]
So nice to meet you, Rob.
Thank you so much. Oh, I'm so happy.
I got my country guy. Rob Cole.
I've won with artists from very different genres,
from pop to R&B.
I would love to take a run at winning
with a country artist.
I'm glad he came back.
That takes guts, to come back. Yeah.
Setbacks set up the comeback.
Niall: Using your block on someone
is the biggest compliment you can give them.
You see them as a threat.
Reba's been blocked twice already,
so we see her as a major threat.
That just -- That'll show you what I think of you. Thank you.
If I don't get blocked, I'm going to be very hurt.
I didn't even notice it.
I was giggling like an idiot.
And you turned and didn't see it?
Yeah. Which made me giggle.
I was literally going... [Squeals]
Just guilty.
[ Laughter ]
* This is "The Voice" *
Daly: Welcome back.
I'm just a guy from Southern California
with a mullet and a mustache,
who looks like he belongs in the '70s.
* Just somebody, rock 'n' roll superstar *
My name is Justin Jenks.
I'm 32 years old,
and I'm from Buena Park, California.
For the last ten years,
I was in a band with my friends
called the Moon Jays.
I am the lead singer and songwriter.
We've released probably close to like 30 songs.
Pretty much played at every venue
in Southern California.
Being in the band really allowed me to find
that confidence in myself as a performer and vocalist.
Me and my wife met at church in 2018.
We had some mutual friends ask me,
"Would you ever go on a date with Justin Jenks?"
And I said, "The poser in the band?
Probably not."
And then I heard him sing for the first time,
and it was love at first sound.
[ Both laugh ]
And yeah, we kind of hit it off from there.
Who asked who out? She asked you?
I asked him out first. Thank you for clarifying.
How cool is this? Oh, gosh. Oh, gosh.
I want to turn a chair for Alexa.
Niall.
So, my singing voice, it's different.
I don't sound the way I look.
I hope that the coaches think I have a unique voice.
I hope they're surprised in a good way.
Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen,
our next artist is entering now.
Okay, here we go.
My dream is to be a full-time musician.
This will definitely be the biggest solo performance
that I've ever done.
**
* Hanging 'round downtown by myself *
* And I've had too much caffeine *
*And I was thinkin' 'bout myself * Whoa!
* And there she was *
I thought it was you.
She got a hell of a voice.
* In platform double suede *
* Yeah, there she was *
Hey! I like the vibe.
* Like disco lemonade * That deep voice.
* Well, I smell sex and candy *
* Here *
* Who's that lounging in my chair? *
* And who's that casting devious stares in my direction? *
* Mama, this surely is a dream *
* Whooooooooo *
Oh, wow!
* Oh, no *
* Well, this must be my dream *
[ Cheers and applause ]
Wow! Oh, my God!
What is your name and where are you from?
And where did the other person go? [ Laughter ]
My name is Justin. I'm 32.
I'm from Buena Park, and they're hiding in the back.
[ Laughter ]
That was all just you, Just? Yeah.
Sing something right now.
* Ooooh *
[ Cheers and applause ]
Wow.
What was I thinking? [ Laughter ]
I thought you were a duet.
And I was like, this is cool.
It's a guy and a girl doing their thing,
and we don't have that. Honestly.
This -- Did you go -- Am I the only one?
I swear I thought the same thing.
Justin, please come back.
Because today there just happened to be
an idiot sitting in my seat. [ Laughter ]
Justin, have you ever been to Knott's Berry Farm? Yes.
Have you ever been to Camp Snoopy?
Yes, I have.
Is it fun? [ Laughter ]
I would say yes.
[ Laughs ]
Just trying to loosen you up a little bit, man.
Oh, it's all good.
Man, would you please come back?
And if you come back, I guarantee you,
when I hear your voice next time,
I'm gonna push the button like --
Sounds good. Thank you.
Thank you, Justin.
That voice was -- it's like Tracy Chapman-esque
or something.
I don't know why my hand just didn't do this.
I know I'm going to regret this.
I think you ought to come back.
And maybe you'll have four intelligent coaches
sitting here instead of us.
Thank you. Appreciate it.
Give it up for Justin, everybody.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Snoop: One thing about this show,
you're gonna hear a whole bunch of no's,
and sometimes it can become a downer.
But the thing I love is when they take my advice
and come back.
Like, today, we had someone
who didn't make it previously but came back
and got a chair turn to move on.
So, that's what it's about.
Not giving up and being able to take that no
and turn it into a yes.
There's always one regret every season.
I thought it was a female.
Yeah, I thought it was a female.
That's why when I seen him, I was like...
I wasn't expecting that.
You got to sing that right now
'cause I don't think that was you.
[ Laughter ]
How are you feeling, Aarik? I feel good, man. I feel real good.
Announcer: Two seconds out.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Yeah? You prepared? I am prepared, man.
I think you're gonna be great, man.
I really appreciate that. Good luck to you.
Thank you so much.
* This is "The Voice" *
Daly: Welcome back to the blind auditions.
You know, the girl that just screams in the audience?
She's like, "Michael! Michael!"
And I came over.
She says, "Michael!" And I said, "Hi."
And she said, "Can you get me Niall?"
[ Laughs ]
I'm nervous like I'm playing. [ Laughs ]
Aarik: I've been doing music all my life.
I've contemplated giving up,
but if you stick to it,
you'll just start seeing things happen.
This is probably the biggest break I've had right now.
Oh, my gosh. Nice humble pie.
Yeah.
[ Whispering ] Let's go, Aarik.
Oh, here we go.
**
* I want you to stay *
* Till I'm in the grave *
* Oh, till I rot away *
* Dead and buried *
* Till I'm in the casket you carry *
* Birds of a feather *
* We should stick together *
* I know I said I'll never think I wasn't better alone *
* Can't change the weather *
* Might not be forever *
* But if it's forever *
* It's even better *
* And I don't know what I'm cryin' for *
* I love you till the day that I die *
* Till the day that I die *
* Till the light leaves my eyes *
* My eyes *
* I knew you in another life *
* I love you, so don't act surprised *
* I love you to the day that I die *
[ Cheers and applause ]
Let's go! Yeah!
That's crazy!
Thank you so much, man.
Oh, we're playing.
I appreciate it.
**
Whoo-hoo!
What is your name and where are you from?
My name is Aarik Duncan.
I'm from Raleigh, North Carolina.
My chair didn't turn
because I'm looking for a particular style of music. I understand.
Not that your music isn't what I'm looking for,
but I have a peripheral view.
And when I seen Michael Bublé's chair turn,
we have an understanding.
[ Laughs ] Good, good, good.
I'm glad you got you a great coach like Mike. Correct.
He's going to handle you with care.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate that.
Yeah, Mike!
I'm kind of in the same boat as Snoop.
I'm looking for a particular thing right now.
There was a couple of early, like, pitch issues.
Obviously, this is a stressful scenario.
I completely understand it.
And now it makes sense.
You were so percussive when you were singing
because you were sitting on the groove
playing -- playing that thing. Yeah.
So, it sounded amazing.
I'm so happy that you're with
the one and only Michael Bublé.
Welcome to "The Voice."
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
Reba: Hi, Aarik.
How you doing, Miss Reba?
Tell us a little bit about yourself.
How long you been singing?
Where have you been singing?
I am a PK, a preacher's kid, pastor's kid.
Praise God.
So, I've been singing all my life.
I'm a military brat, so we moved around quite a bit.
Yeah. Shout out to my dad again.
The reverend is here with you?
Oh, yeah. He right there.
Where the reverend at? Rev. He right there.
Rev, Praise God! My pa, he's smooth.
He real smooth. Alright, Rev.
Did an amazing job, brother.
I got to commend you, Rev.
How many instruments do you play?
Well, this here is a piccolo bass.
So I play this.
I dabble on guitar, keys, drums.
Drums is my first love.
Then it became piano, and then the other instruments.
Wonderful. Welcome to "The Voice."
We're glad to have you on it.
Thank you so much. It's gonna be fun.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Sometimes you hear a voice and you go, man,
if I turn on the radio,
I would know in two seconds if that was you.
And that's what I was looking for.
You're a one-chair turn.
And last season, I turned my chair,
and I was the only one.
This young guy called Adam.
And I didn't understand in the moment
what the other coaches didn't hear.
And Adam went on to become the Season 27 champion.
There you go. [ Cheers and applause ]
Let's go, Mike, let's go.
You know, God, strike me down if I'm not telling the truth.
Watch out! Get away from him, Reba!
[ Laughter ]
When the clock was ticking down,
I was going, "Oh, please, God, please, God,
nobody press that button.
Please, God, let me be the only one."
I know the potential, dude.
I am so happy to have you on my team.
Welcome to Team Bublé.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Aarik has that kind of voice, it is one of a kind.
1 in 1,000,000. Unique. Special.
It matches your shirt.
Aarik was a one-chair turn, the same way
that Adam David was a one-chair turn in 27.
Bigger than three in a row would be having two in a row
with one chair turned.
Yes!
I'm a huge fan of Michael Bublé.
Let's go!
He saw something in me that he could maximize,
so I'm super excited about that.
I'm so happy that they didn't turn.
You don't even know.
He's so cute.
All: Team Bublé!
Let's go! Yes!
Praise God, Reverend.
When it comes to me and the button,
it's more about the feeling.
And music don't have no box.
That's what this show is about -- voices,
the music that they're making to entice us to want to be coaches
and to want them to be a part of our team.
My career is the perfect example of showing you
how many different styles and genres of music
that I've been able to engage in.
I have the ear, the heart, and the spirit
to know great music.
* This is "The Voice" *
Daly: Welcome back.
This is so wild. Oh, my gosh.
I've seen this from my living room,
but now I'm, like, in it.
We made it.
Any questions for me before you float on Thursday?
My name is Sadie Dahl.
I graduated high school about a year ago,
and since then I manage a sensory deprivation spa.
This is what a pod looks like. Kind of cool.
The second you get in there, you immediately --
you float to the surface,
and your mind and your body is able to relax.
Sometimes I'm humming and coming up with melodies
as I'm cleaning or folding laundry.
The end goal is to be singing as much as I can.
So, today I was asked to sing at a local baseball game.
I'm in beautiful Utah.
Wow.
Oh, my gosh, I've seen every one of these.
She knows her stuff. She knows the show.
I watch the show in every country.
[ Laughter ]
My grandma Linda is the biggest fan of "The Voice."
I watch "The Voice Australia," "The Voice UK."
The other "Voices" are fine, but they don't speak English.
She'll be showing me new music and artists
that she's found.
I saw a documentary on Snoop Dogg,
I went, "Look, he's amazing. You need to see this."
Grandma Linda, she's 71, she's still working as a nurse,
and she's also a two-time cancer survivor.
Through all of that, she's still coming to any gigs I have.
That teaches me a lot about how I should be pursuing my music
and to keep at it.
The advice I give is for her to sing from her heart,
because the coaches turn when they feel emotion.
Linda: I've always wanted you to follow your dreams,
and this [ Voice breaking ] is your dream.
Yeah.
Be calm. Be confident. Be a diva!
[ Both laugh ]
Announcer: Okay, here we go.
Sadie: I would love to make my Grandma Linda proud
with a chair turn.
[ Whispering ] I can see Michael Bublé.
[ Laughs ]
Oh, there she is.
I'm just trying to remember to just sing with feeling,
and hopefully I'll get a chair turn.
You got this, baby.
You got this.
Come on. Come on.
**
* Hmm *
* I woke up to the morning sky first *
* Baby blue, just like we rehearsed *
* When I get up off this ground *
* I shake the leaves back down *
* To the brown, brown, brown, brown *
* Till I'm clean *
* Yeah, no, ehh *
Whoa!
* Then I walk where I'd be shaded *
* By the trees * Yeah!
* By a meadow of green *
* For about a mile *
* I'm headed to town, town, town in style *
* With all my favorite colors *
* All my favorite colors *
* Right on *
* My sisters and my brothers *
* See 'em like no other *
* All my favorite colors *
* It's a good day to be *
* A good day for me *
* A good day to see my favorite colors *
* Oh * Whoo-hoo!
* My sisters and my brothers *
* They see 'em like no other *
* All my favorite colors *
[ Cheers and applause ]
**
Oh, my gosh.
It looks like she's pulled a one,
two, three into the four chairs.
Yeah, baby!
What is your name and where are you from?
My name is Sadie Dahl.
I am 19 years old. Huh?!
I'm from Draper, Utah.
Wonderful.
Sadie. Sadie. Sadie. 19 years old.
Yep. And singing like that.
[ Cheers and applause ]
As I listen to your vocals,
I hear so many different ranges
of tone and delivery
and how you're so professional and strong on stage.
I hear a little bit of pop, I hear some soul,
I hear some R&B, I hear a little bit of everything,
and I see how you can just have your way with it.
So, if you choose me as your coach,
I think we would make great music,
and I think you would have a great career after this show.
Thank you.
Do you know what I love the most?
When we all started to spin around
and I blocked Bublé.
Michael: Wow.
I could see his face lit up,
and I was like, nope.
You just noticed that? Excuse me.
[ Clears throat ]
[ Laughter ]
I love how you never wavered.
It actually got better.
Any of the artists that I felt have done well
on this show over the years when I've worked with them,
I've tried to, like, curate, like, a ten-track album.
So, when you leave this place,
you walk in the doors of a record label,
you're like, "Well, these are my performances from 'The Voice,'
and this is the kind of thing I do."
I'm your guy, I promise.
Okay. Okay. Wow.
You could definitely win this thing.
I'm not kidding you.
Yeah! Whoo!
That was mesmerizing.
It's so different, what you do.
So, way to go.
I would love to have you on my team,
but wherever you land,
I'm just very proud for "The Voice"
that you're on "The Voice."
[ Cheers and applause ] Thank you so much, Reba.
Hi, Sadie. Hi, Michael.
As deeply, deeply disappointed
and devastated for myself as I am,
I'm also as or more happy for you.
You can choose a mentorship
with a beautiful human being
who just happens to be one of the greatest,
most iconic entertainers of our lifetime.
Audience: Aww!
[ Laughter ]
I mean, Snoop Dogg is literally
one of the greatest musicians on the planet.
When I think about somebody who has changed the face of music,
I think of Snoop Dogg.
[ Cheers and applause ]
And then you have Niall.
He's good, too.
[ Laughter ]
You had that coming. [ Laughs ]
[ Sad trombone plays ] Well, listen.
Boo!
Reba, please.
You know what? "The Voice" wins.
America wins.
I'm going to cheer for you the whole time.
Thank you so much, Michael. Wow.
Sadie, it is now time to pick
who will be your coach.
Sadie, just -- just dare to be different,
you know, just like you are.
That's what you've been.
I love that.
It's good.
Oh, my gosh.
My heart is pounding.
Oh, my gosh.
[ Audience shouting ]
**
I really don't know what she's gonna do.
I'm freaking out right now.
Oh, my gosh. I think...
Oh, my gosh, I can't do it.
This is so hard.
I think I'm gonna have to go...
...Team Snoop.
**
What?! Oh, I knew that.
Oh, my God! Oh, my God.
Snoop: I'm feeling real good.
My team is shaping up.
Oh, my gosh!
Snoop: Sadie was a great win.
I love her style, her voice, her uniqueness.
I feel like she could win the show.
Y'all not gonna believe it,
but before I came out here,
I was listening to a song from The Spinners
called "Sadie."
Oh, no! I swear to God.
You just confirmed my choice was right.
You really did? You gonna have fun with me.
Michael: When Sadie came out and I heard that voice,
I knew she was a real frontrunner.
And you can imagine my astonishment and hurt
when I realized that Niall Horan was a veteran of this game
and had blocked me.
I hate when that happens! [ Laughs ]
I wasted my block.
That was a good block, man.
I think she was going with you.
You know, he's a good kid.
But being his dad,
I think I still have a few things to teach him.
So, before you come out here,
you were listening to a song called "Sadie"?
Yes. That's cool.
That's bonkers.
The gangster Holy Ghost has spoken again.
[ Laughter ]
