Hi, everybody. I'm Carson Daly.
Welcome to our first-ever
"Voice" holiday celebration.
Tonight, we're looking back on some of our favorite
holiday performances from our coaches both past and present.
I love Christmas.
* Underneath the tree, oh *
* Feliz Navidad *
* Prospero año y felicidad *
Both: * Want to kiss you, baby, standing 'neath the mistletoe *
Daly: And from some of the biggest stars
to grace "The Voice" stage --
Michael Bublé,
Sia,
Mon Laferte,
Jennifer Nettles,
and the legendary Dolly Parton.
What says Christmas more than Dolly Parton.
Daly: Plus, our coaches share some
of their favorite holiday traditions.
Everybody knows I love Christmas music.
Light that fireplace, pour the hot cocoa,
and let's kick off the big night of music.
Here's Blake, Gwen, Adam, and Pharrell
with "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas."
[ "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" plays ]
Blake: * Have yourself a merry little Christmas *
* Let your heart be light *
* From now on *
* Our troubles will be out of sight *
**
* Have yourself a merry little Christmas *
* Make the Yuletide gay *
* From now on *
* Our troubles will be miles away *
* Here we are as in olden days *
* Happy Golden days of yore *
Pharrell: * Faithful friends who are dear to us *
* Gather near to us *
* Once more *
**
* Through the years we all will be together *
Adam: * If the fates allow *
* Hang a shining star *
* Upon the highest bough *
* Oh, and have yourself *
* A merry little Christmas *
Together: * Now *
[ Cheers and applause ]
Blake: Looking back, that performance was really important
because at the time I was just getting to know Pharrell,
I was just getting to know Gwen.
Flash forward years,
the relationships that came out of that group of people,
especially Gwen and I, I just had no idea.
Gwen: That was my first season, and it was really amazing
because each coach brought their own style
and I just remember it being really special.
Now it's season 17's powerhouse from Chicago.
During the finale, Katie Kadan and her coach,
John Legend, joined forces for their soulful holiday duet.
Here's Katie and John with "Merry Christmas Baby."
One of my favorite Christmas memories on "The Voice"
was singing "Merry Christmas Baby"
with Katie Kadan, who I just love.
I felt like we were in a Chicago blues club singing it.
I'm sure you're going to enjoy it.
* Merry Christmas, baby *
* You sure did treat me nice *
* Oh, yes, you did *
* Well *
* Merry Christmas, baby *
* You sure did treat me nice, yeah *
* Yeah, yeah *
* You gave me a diamond ring for Christmas *
* Now I'm livin' in paradise *
* Merry Christmas, baby *
* You sure did treat me nice *
* Merry Christmas, baby *
* You sure did treat me nice *
* Yeah, gave me a diamond ring for Christmas *
* Now I'm livin' in paradise *
Both: * Well, I'm feelin' mighty fine *
* Got good music on my radio *
* Whoo! *
* I'm feelin' mighty fine *
* Got good music on my radio *
* I wanna kiss you, baby *
* Standin' 'neath the mistletoe *
**
Alright!
Come on!
**
* Yeah, yeah *
**
Listen.
* Santa came down the chimney *
* 'Bout a half past three *
* Left all these pretty presents *
* That you see before me *
* Merry Christmas, baby *
* You sure been good to me *
* Ooh! *
* I haven't had a toddy this morning *
* But I'm all lit up like a Christmas tree, yeah *
**
I need everybody to put your hands together. Come on!
* Merry Christmas *
* And a Happy New Year *
* Happy New Year *
* Say Merry Christmas *
* Merry Christmas *
* And a Happy New Year *
* And a Happy, Happy New Year *
* It feels so nice *
* Feels so nice *
* Being with my baby *
* With my baby *
* It feels so good *
* Feels so good *
* Just being with you *
* Hey * * With my baby *
* Say Merry Christmas *
* Unh! *
* Oh, oh, ohhh, ah *
* Whoa, oh, oh, ohhhhh, yeah, yeah *
* Yeah * * Ohhhh, yeah *
[ Cheers and applause ]
Kelly: John Legend, I love his voice.
I just watch him and he's, like, in character the whole time,
and we're all blown away by Katie.
She hit some big, ol' notes.
Daly: Coming up, more unforgettable
holiday performances...
* You make it feel like Christmas *
* Christmas *
* Baby, please come home *
