Daly: Our coaches have formed their teams.
Now it's time to lead them into battle...
Whoo! ...with some of the biggest names in music.
Yes! Here we are! Advising Team Legend, John brought in his friend
and fellow R&B artist Miguel.
For Team Blake, one of contemporary country's
breakout stars, Kane Brown.
Helping Team Kelly,
Grammy Award‐winning soul singer Leon Bridges.
And advising Team Gwen, her friend and collaborator
prolific songwriter Julia Michaels.
Here we are ‐‐ Season 19.
There she is. What?!
The boys are here.
We are going to the battles right now.
Let's go check out the stage. Yeah.
Gwen: Season 19, everything is different, obviously,
but it's making it more special to be here.
Whoa! Kelly: I like it.
Kelly: This is a really cool thing, that we have
two stages for battles.
They're able to have their own little island that's just theirs
and really fight for the chance to proceed to the next round.
Wow. How many feet is it?
Six feet. [ Laughs ]
Blake: The show looks a little different,
but the music and the talent's still there.
Alright, y'all, we've seen the stage. Let's go get ready.
Let's do it. Gwen: What about the save and four‐way knockout?
Because I didn't do that last time.
Steals take priority.
If you do save them,
you're sending them to a four‐way knockout
where the audience decides who gets to advance.
John, while you're going over those rules... John: Yes.
...could you clarify for Kelly
where the out‐of‐bounds area is and where ‐‐
The steps. There are stairs. I got it confused last season.
I thought it was the opposite of what it was.
So when they hit the floor off the stairs,
that's the time I can save them. That's right.
Let's do the battles, y'all!
Let's go! Whoo!
I can't believe it, that Kane Brown is here.
My mentor. Can't believe I'm here with Blake, man.
Like, literally, besides me,
you're the hottest thing in country music.
My adviser this season is Kane Brown.
What'd you get, Sexiest Man of the Year
or something like that? [ Laughs ]
He's become a superstar in country music
in this new era of people being found on social media.

Blake: It's really awesome to have a country adviser this season,
especially since my team is mostly country.
I love "The Voice," so it's just amazing to be here,
especially with you, so...
Yeah, if you'd have been Kelly's mentor,
I'd have never forgiven you for that.
My dream that nobody knows of
was always to try out for "The Voice"
and sing "Ol' Red" and be on Blake Shelton's team.
I'm just so grateful to be here.
Oh, I love the studio look, though. Yeah.
Blake: We've done everything we can do to ensure
everybody's safety on the set this season.
We've changed a lot of things up,
and we're really feeling good about it.
We're so thankful
that we're gonna be able to film this thing.

I'm super excited. Who do you think it's gonna be?

This is actually a pair.
It's a rare trio.
It's a group called Worth the Wait,
and they've got the family harmony
that's just got that magic that's unexplainable.

Blake. Blake. Blake.
Yes!
Blake, the knowledge that he has of the lane that we're in
is something that we will benefit from.
Whoo!
And then Taryn is an incredible singer
that I actually used my block on to keep Kelly from getting her.
You and Kelly, man ‐‐ y'all got something.
She's very lovable, but she's a terrible coach.
Taryn: I've been singing at Blake Shelton's Ole Red
in Nashville for about a year and a half.
In March, I received an award
that I was the New Artist of the Month.
I had a lot of momentum going in Nashville,
but unfortunately, music kind of had to be silenced on Broadway,
and as a full‐time performer
wondering how you're gonna pay rent
and where you're going to live, it was really scary.
♪ But I do it anyway ♪
Blake! What?!
I have been auditioning for "The Voice" for years.
Blake. Yes!
So when Blake turned, it blew me away.
Well, I'm excited to meet them.
Yeah, let's do it.
Hello, Blake! Hello.
Seeing Kane Brown, it was crazy.
He's got lots of hit songs.
My personal favorite is "Worldwide Beautiful."
I want to give everybody hugs,
but at least we're all in here working together.
I'm excited to see some girl power. We need more of it.
We got you covered on it.
Seeing Kane Brown, it was just so surreal.
I couldn't believe that he was actually there.
I have a really embarrassing story.
Oh, here we go. I saw you at a red light
in Nashville, and you were in your truck,
and the logo on the front is, like, your Kane logo.
Oh, yeah. And I stuck my head out the passenger window
and I'm like...
[ Laughs ]
I wish I would've saw you. My bad. It's alright.
Can I get one of your logo stickers for my truck?
You can honestly do one on the front of your truck,
have it say "BS." [ Laughing ] BS.

"Well, I don't want to get married."
[ Laughter ] You got to figure out a way

I do have a problem with kind of
stepping outside of my comfort zone.

Their dad passed away when they were young. He was a musician.
I did not know that.
I sang, and he played guitar.
And then when he passed away, music was our go‐to.
So I was like, "Maybe one of my kids will sing,"
and all three of my girls, they just started
performing everywhere. Wow.
Then they had videos go viral, and I was like...
You're making me cry.
Mama. Mama.
I'm really proud of them.
Life on Earth is really short,
and so you need to enjoy it while you're here.
So that's why I'm so grateful for this opportunity
with my girls.

Good to see you. [ Laughs ]
I feel like it was such an equal battle all the way around.
Just based on the charisma Tamara has,
I think I would go with her.
She just has that thing about her and is not afraid
to put it on full display when she gets out on stage,
and that goes a long way.
Thank you. Means a lot.
John, give us some thoughts before you tell us who won.
John: Both of you were fantastic.
I got so much joy from coaching both of you.
And you have different voices.
Olivia, yours has such clarity and power,
whereas Tamara has so much depth and vibrato,
and yours is almost no vibrato.
They're both really effective ways of presenting a song.
It's just different.
So that makes this even more difficult.
John, who's the winner of this battle?

The winner of this battle is Tamara.
[ Cheers and applause ] Thank you.
Daly: Tamara Jade moving on to the knockouts! Congratulations!
Yes, Tamara! Beautifully done.
And the ponytail, too.
♪ The pony ♪ Kelly: Ah!
My soul left my body again.
I don't know what it is about this stage
that makes your soul leave your body.
I'm very happy to still be with Uncle John,
and he's sticking with me, so I'm sticking with him.
Coaches, let me remind you, Olivia is available
to steal or save.
Olivia, anything you'd like to say to John?
I just want to say thank you so much.
This is my first time really doing a bunch of singing stuff,
and I'm really proud of myself.
You're amazing. Great job. Great job.
Thank you.
Olivia versus Tamara ‐‐ I love both of them,
but it's the first day of the battles,
and each coach has one save.
I was this close to save.
And I want to save someone
who maybe I paired with the wrong person.
And Tamara's a star. I love her energy.
She just lights up every room,
and I wanted to keep working with her.

Why is this glove still around?
I thought we were done with that.
No, no, no, no. You left it in the hallway.
I do not want to use it anymore.
You still have people to congratulate.
Or maybe a consoling, like, "It'll be okay."
I thought we were done with this rubber glove

For my battle adviser this season,
I brought in Leon Bridges, who I love.

We're both Fort Worth natives, and he's just so gifted.
Leon's voice, you know how people say it sounds like butter?
His sounds like sizzling butter.
He's just a really great storyteller.
I think it's gonna be our job to try and help them connect
on a stage where they aren't near each other
Right. Right. and help them emote
as if they are connecting, but far away.
I'm excited to hear some beautiful singing, you know.
Leon: It was a huge honor,
I mean, the fact that I was asked to be on the show.
I'm constantly trying to learn.
One thing that I want for the artists on this show,
it's important to take those things you learn stylistically,
but also craft your own sound.
Alright. Well, let's meet the first group.
Well, who do you think it's gonna be?
The mentor?
I don't know. I have no clue. I have no clue.
Madeline kind of teeters the line of R&B and country.
Madeline sang "Girl" by Maren Morris.

Hi!
What's up?! Leon Bridges!
Oh, my God. Okay. I see y'all come through drippin'. Love the swag.
Seeing Leon Bridges, I was completely overwhelmed.
I'm excited to have Leon here.
He's a Grammy Award‐winning singer‐songwriter.
Where y'all both from? Texas.
I know you're from Texas, too, right?
Yeah, yeah. Yes.
What part of Texas? El Paso.
So, I lived half of my life in Ciudad Juárez, México,
and half of my life in El Paso, Texas.
When we moved to the U. S., my family was very low‐income.
We struggled ‐‐ I remember our first apartment
was, like, a one‐bedroom for, like, six of us.
I was the first, actually, to graduate college from my family,
so I don't take anything for granted.
That's why I'm so grateful to be here.
It's so meant to be!
It's meant to be!
Kelly Clarkson ‐‐ I'm extremely grateful and excited
to be working with her and learning from her
and getting coached by her.
We got a little Texas going on.
I have a lot of Texans on my team, actually, I think.
Yeah, you do.
I just sense it. I'm from Wisconsin.
Okay. "Wisconsin."
Wisconsin.
Madeline: I grew up in Eagle River, Wisconsin,
and I went to Nashville about four years ago,
so that's where I am now.
And I'm working at Barry's Bootcamp.
Being a fitness trainer just helps me in the music industry,
because you have to be disciplined,

What's cool about your tone is it's so warm and it's got a little rasp.
It's like a sexy, like, whisper. It's husky. I love that.

we're breaking up Donny and Marie right now.
You two, after "The Voice," should just be a duo

Madeline ‐‐ something about her voice feels like a cliffhanger.
When she starts getting up there,
it makes me think she's not gonna make it,
but your voice always gets there.
It's on pitch, and it really drew me in.
And then, Eli, you didn't hit one single note wrong.
To be able to do that with as much movement
and stage presence, it's really incredible.
Maybe because what I'm talking about with Madeline's voice,
it was such a cliffhanger to me,
maybe I would go with Madeline.
Madeline, there's, like, a little more urgency
to your voice.
It's a powerful thing. It kind of pierces through.
But, Eli, that's not taking anything away from you,
because you have a lovely tone.
It's just really enjoyable to listen to.
I think, Madeline, I just felt a little more urgency from her.
Thank you so much. Thank you.
Gwen: Eli, you're so talented.
You have the stage presence.
And it was perfection the whole time.
Appreciate it.
Madeline, I know that you exercise,

because there's some strength in you as a woman.
In this instance, I was leaning more toward Eli
just because it was so easy for him and effortless.
Daly: Thank you, coaches. Kelly. Thank you.
Oh, no. Tough decision here coming up for you. Give us some thoughts.
The reason why y'all did so well together
is because you really did work as a team.
You both came to the table
and you're like, "Look, I'm not used to doing this,"
and you were like, "Look, this is, like, my thing,
but I'm willing to share this with you
for the better of the performance."

Like, those are such tangible moments. Okay. [ Chuckles ]
Payge, that break in your voice is so magical.
Thank you. The first verse, for me,
there's not enough distinction in the melodies
or in the style of your personality coming through.
It's like you're not getting the melody enough.
It's, like, almost too soft.
This is where it's really dependent on tone. Yeah.
You hear this woman on the radio,
you know exactly who it is

This could be your one shot to show people your identity.
I definitely believe, as a songwriter,
I love putting my own personality

And, Payge, you know what you want to say,
you know who you want to be, and I think we've only seen,
like, the tip of the iceberg vocally.
So it makes it nearly impossible for me to choose somebody.
I do not envy you. Yeah.
Tough one, Gwen. Wow, Carson.
This was probably gonna be my hardest one of my team.
[ Dramatic music plays ]
And I think...
...the winner of this battle
is Payge.
[ Cheers and applause ] Wow.
Daly: Payge, congratulations. Thank you so much.
You are moving on to the knockouts.
Payge: I'm freaking excited.
Still being on Team Gwen ‐‐ holy crap.
I'm ready to show her that I am 100% capable
of winning this show for her.
Gwen: The battles so far have blown me away.
The talent is insane.
Wow. It was so hard. Oh, my God.
That was the hardest choice ever.
Lauren is so young,
and yet she has so much connection to her artistry,
but I picked Payge because I feel
like there's so much more that she's gonna show me.
I'm excited to see it. She's amazing.
Daly: Alright, Coaches, let me remind you
Lauren is available to steal or save.
Lauren, what would you like to say to your coach?
Gwen, thank you so much for this incredible experience.
I will never forget it.
Aww, I love you so much.
Give it up one more time for Lauren Frihauf,
ladies and gentlemen.
[ Cheers and applause ]
We've got a steal!
John Legend!
John: I love Lauren.
I'm really excited to hear that button.
I remember turning for you, Lauren,
and I feel like you deserve a chance to keep going, so...
Thank you so much. On a team that can win.
Oh, my God! Daly: We've got another steal!
Blake Shelton now joins the party. Stay out of my way, Blake Shelton.
I was gonna save you. [ Laughs ]
That does not count. Not allowed. That is illegal.
Lauren, I just recall
when you performed in the blind auditions
that Blake heard you
and decided not to turn around. [ Laughter ]
And I just feel like I get you.
I don't want you to miss
a very important thing that just happened.
John wouldn't pick anybody
between the two of you, and I did.
I picked Payge because... Ah!
...I was trying to do everything I could
to make you available to me. Oh, my goodness.
Oh, my God. He can sell a car, y'all.
[ Laughter ] And I'll be damned if it didn't work.
Here we are... Holy.
...you having the chance to basically stay
on your original team anyway,
because Gwen's love of the era you came out of ‐‐
who do you think taught her that music?
Oh, my goodness. Me, okay?
[ Laughing ] Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Pick me. Pick me. Lauren, come on home. Come on home.
Lauren, who do you pick as your new coach?
This is so hard.
Thank you both so much, but, um...

Daly: Welcome back.
Lauren, who do you pick as your new coach?

Thank you both so much, but, um...
...I'm gonna have to go with John.
Yes! Daly: John Legend successfully fends off Blake...
Welcome. I would hug you. I would hug you. ...and steals Lauren from Gwen.
I was so excited Lauren picked me over Blake
because he didn't pick her in this moment
when he was advising Gwen,
and then he expects her to go to him?
No way. Come on home. Team Legend, Lauren.
Deal with this. I think my favorite thing ‐‐
"You'll notice I picked the other person."
Look at me. Look at me right now.
You're getting slapped. You're getting slapped.
Get this thing away from me.
"You'll notice I actually thought Payge was better."
Strategy, Kelly. I mean, you are a car salesman.
I was like, "What?"
You know, it sucks for me to lose to John,
but at least it wasn't me losing to Kelly.
That really sucks. His dad was a car salesman.
Your dad was a car salesman? Yeah.
Blake: Mm‐hmm. That's funny.
You nervous? I think I'm gonna be nervous
when I see who it is. That's good.
This is my one‐and‐only pop/soul battle.
Gonna be a lot different
than anything else that ‐‐ that I've had on my team.
I'm ready. Yeah.
Oh, my God. Hi! Hello.
Hey. This is Kane Brown, you guys.
Hi, Kane.
Payton: I'm a huge Kane Brown fan.
When you are able to watch somebody grow
from just putting out content online
to then winning awards
and touring with all these huge artists,
that's just so inspiring. I called this, I have to tell you.
Yeah, she guessed everything. You know, I said, "It's gonna be Kane Brown."
You just figured it out out of the blue. Yes. Well, I called it a couple of days ago.
I don't even know if I was supposed to be here a couple days ago. [ Laughs ]
I think it just happened. Hey, she knew. Hey, she knew. I knew!

Jus Jon, in the second verse,
it just felt like it went off the melody for a minute.
It might've been a run gone bad or something.
You probably don't have to dress things up

That was good!

That's a goodun.
Is that one of your favorite songs, Blake?
You ‐‐ You picked that for them? Well, when it first came out,
I connected with it just so much. [ Laughter ]
Wow.
Well, I thought you had great energy together.
Payton, your range is just ridiculous.
It's so cool to see all those high notes you're able to hit.
And, Jus Jon, in some ways, you kind of remind me of Usher.
Yeah, for sure. And that's a high compliment.
Thank you. Gwen: Well, I loved it.
When Payton came in, I was just so shocked by your voice.
And it's unexpected when you get up to your high range
and you have so much strength up there.
Jus Jon, it was just so natural,
and your stage presence is really flawless.
I think that it's almost impossible to pick
'cause it's, like, such different styles of singing.
I'll start with you, Payton. Your range is incredible.
Your voice is really, really pretty and it's really particular.
It's very much a style that not many people have.
And, Jus Jon, I thought you were just
a little bit nervous in the beginning.
You literally did this, like, into ‐‐
Like, your hand was like ‐‐ 'cause I do this,
I dial a rotary phone. I don't know why. [ Laughter ]
Um, but my hand just always ‐‐ That's interesting.
Watch. If I'm on stage, I am dialing someone. [ Laughter ]
Then you kind of, like, flourish the rest of the song,
and your voice is really cool, like the tone
and how open and big it gets.
It was nice. Thank you.
Blake, you got the final decision.
When we got into rehearsals, really pushed Payton
to explore her range.
She was doing a lot of things where she would try
to get away from a big note by getting in her head voice,
and she put the work in,
and you hear this range that she has.
So, really I'll say proud of you
like I'm your grandpa or something. [ Laughter ]
Did he say grandpa? Yeah.
You're not that old, Blake.
That's something that you're gonna always
have that in your tools now. Thank you.
And Jus Jon ‐‐ it's like his voice
is going through some sort of an echo chamber
that just makes the coolest sound. Thank you.
And I was surprised a little bit to see the nerves,
but not really, I mean, look at this.
Yeah. [ Laughs ] What the hell is this, you know?
Great job. Thank you, Blake.

very powerful but beautiful, clean tone at the same time.
