of this whole experience

32
00:01:12,405 --> 00:01:13,698
is that when I was little,

33

of Kelly Clarkson

on small me

and how enthralled she would be
to be standing on this stage.

40
00:01:35,512 --> 00:01:38,765
What's really cool about
the song that I am singing,

41
00:01:38,807 --> 00:01:42,644
"Anyone" by Demi Lovato,
is that when I was 12,

42
00:01:42,686 --> 00:01:46,356
I was really starting to
struggle with my mental health.

43
00:01:46,398 --> 00:01:48,608
But I saw what Demi was doing

44
00:01:48,650 --> 00:01:51,903
and how they were sharing
their struggles so publicly.

45
00:01:51,945 --> 00:01:56,241

my moment, I want to do that,"

Since I was 6 or 7,

00:04:30,186 --> 00:04:32,731
I was like,
"I am going to be a rock star."

102
00:04:32,772 --> 00:04:38,945
And I didn't want to necessarily
go to college, be in debt.

103
00:04:38,987 --> 00:04:41,322
I just wanted
to chase my dream.

104
00:04:41,364 --> 00:04:44,242
So I started creating
my own music.

105
00:04:44,284 --> 00:04:48,621
I do write all of my own songs
and I make demos at my home.

106
00:04:48,663 --> 00:04:53,084
Music is my life,
and as cliche as it may sound,

107
00:04:53,126 --> 00:04:54,502
it definitely was something

108
00:04:54,544 --> 00:04:57,756
that helped pull me
out of the trenches.

109
00:04:57,797 --> 00:05:01,176
Growing up was kind of difficult
for me.

110
00:05:01,217 --> 00:05:03,261
When I was about 9,

111
00:05:03,303 --> 00:05:05,472
my mom and dad
had gotten divorced.

112
00:05:05,513 --> 00:05:10,643
I didn't have many friends and
struggled a lot with bullying.

113
00:05:10,685 --> 00:05:14,522
I think that really set me
on a tailspin.

114
00:05:14,564 --> 00:05:18,526
I just started struggling
insanely with depression,

115
00:05:18,568 --> 00:05:22,530
but I would hide it
like nobody's business.

116
00:05:22,572 --> 00:05:25,241
And I think it was
a defensive mechanism, you know?

117
00:05:25,283 --> 00:05:28,578
If they don't know,
then maybe it's not so bad

118
00:05:28,620 --> 00:05:31,164
or something silly like that.

119
00:05:31,206 --> 00:05:34,167
Having experienced
depression and anxiety,

120
00:05:34,209 --> 00:05:38,004
it sometimes does become hard
to believe in yourself.

121
00:05:38,046 --> 00:05:41,007
But now that I have
stepped out of high school

122
00:05:41,049 --> 00:05:44,177
and really allowed myself
to be who I am,

123
00:05:44,219 --> 00:05:47,347
I have discovered
that this doesn't define me.

124
00:05:47,389 --> 00:05:51,601
So being here
is an amazing realization

125
00:05:51,643 --> 00:05:53,520
of how far I've come.

126
00:05:53,561 --> 00:05:55,605
Ariana:
You brought me to tears.

127
00:05:55,647 --> 00:05:59,025
I was welling up.
I felt that so deeply.

128
00:05:59,067 --> 00:06:00,694
It was so beautiful,
and I could tell

129
00:06:00,735 --> 00:06:02,570
that you were singing
from a really real place.

130
00:06:02,612 --> 00:06:05,115
Your vibrato can
become quite wide

131
00:06:05,156 --> 00:06:06,741
and it's beautiful
and it's stunning.

132
00:06:06,783 --> 00:06:08,576
But there were moments
where it was a little sharp.

133
00:06:08,618 --> 00:06:10,120
I think it was
probably just nerves,

134
00:06:10,161 --> 00:06:12,080
but I think I would be able
to help with that.

135
00:06:12,122 --> 00:06:13,540
And it was really moving.

136
00:06:13,581 --> 00:06:14,833
I could tell that
that came from somewhere.

it will go away.

Hi.

you're bringing

to pop music.

Yeah.

876

about your version

is you introduced
some edge to it,

and made it distinct.

1015
00:42:05,567 --> 00:42:09,154
When I was in Cameroon, I was
exposed to a whole lot of music.

because the ways in which
we communicate back home

Minnesota,

I do think that you have
a gorgeous voice,

how you kept doing the runs,

1100
00:45:59,759 --> 00:46:01,678
like, kind of down low,
that was so warm.

1101

I don't know what really
kept me from turning.

1102
00:46:03,388 --> 00:46:05,640
I think I didn't know
the song, the melody of it.

1103
00:46:05,682 --> 00:46:08,268
I think the song kind of
made it tough for us

1104
00:46:08,309 --> 00:46:09,936
to hear your voice a lot

1105
00:46:09,978 --> 00:46:12,063
because there are
a lot of quick notes in it.

1106
00:46:12,105 --> 00:46:13,231
SZA, right?
Yep.

1107
00:46:13,273 --> 00:46:14,858
I think
that song particularly

1108
00:46:14,899 --> 00:46:16,359
didn't give us a chance
to hear

coaches to choose from.

Libianca,
I'm obsessed with you.

1113
00:46:24,576 --> 00:46:26,786
I respect you so much
for picking a SZA song

1114
00:46:26,828 --> 00:46:29,539
'cause she writes in a way
that's so unique to her.

1115
00:46:29,581 --> 00:46:31,833
It's like a huge undertaking
to sing a SZA song.
Yes.

1116
00:46:31,875 --> 00:46:34,836
And you did such a beautiful job
of making it your own.

1117

Your low range,

1119
00:46:37,756 --> 00:46:39,799
like, you kind of sat
in that space

1120
00:46:39,841 --> 00:46:41,426
for a majority
of the performance,

1121
00:46:41,468 --> 00:46:42,719
and I was like,
"She's so good at that.

1122
00:46:42,761 --> 00:46:44,054
I wonder if that's,
like, her thing.

1123
00:46:44,095 --> 00:46:45,180
Does she have the highs?"

1124
00:46:45,221 --> 00:46:46,723

for the end,

1125
00:46:46,765 --> 00:46:48,266

more emotional that way.

Let me think
about that.

1142
00:47:21,758 --> 00:47:24,886
We hear a lot of singers
come across the stage,

1143
00:47:24,928 --> 00:47:26,846
and a lot of coaches
that work on this show

1144
00:47:26,888 --> 00:47:29,891
that they're capable
of so much,

1145
00:47:29,933 --> 00:47:32,310
and actually Ariana's
a prime example of that.

1146
00:47:32,352 --> 00:47:33,728
One of the reasons
I'm a fan of hers

1147
00:47:33,770 --> 00:47:36,231
is that there's nothing
she can't sing.

about your performance.

Living down there in that lower
register for as long as you did,

1153

you know, it'd be one thing
to kind of touch on it here

1154
00:47:46,991 --> 00:47:49,285
and there, but you were
wallowing in it down there,

1155
00:47:49,327 --> 00:47:53,081
and you had so much control
and there was so much volume.

1156
00:47:53,123 --> 00:47:56,126
That's what really shocked me
about your voice.

So much of the show
is just gonna be

1206
00:50:01,126 --> 00:50:03,044
me pointing at Blake
in despair.

1207
00:50:03,086 --> 00:50:05,005
Doing this.
Like, so much of it
is going to be, like,

1208
00:50:05,046 --> 00:50:07,215
cuts of me going like
and then like...

1209
00:50:07,257 --> 00:50:09,467
The squinty eyes at me.

1210
00:50:09,509 --> 00:50:12,053
Oh, man.

1211
00:50:13,596 --> 00:50:15,348
My name's Jared Brasher.
I'm 26 years old,

1212
00:50:15,390 --> 00:50:16,683
and I'm from Huntsville,
Alabama.

1213
00:50:16,725 --> 00:50:19,019
Baseball was always
my true love.

1214
00:50:19,060 --> 00:50:21,021
It's what I've done ever since
I was 4 years old.

1215
00:50:21,062 --> 00:50:22,689
And the dream of playing
in the Major Leagues

1216
00:50:22,731 --> 00:50:24,232
was always my goal.

1217
00:50:24,274 --> 00:50:27,527
In 2017, I was drafted by
the Washington Nationals

1218
00:50:27,569 --> 00:50:29,112
in the Minor Leagues.

1219
00:50:29,154 --> 00:50:31,865
But in 2019,
I was released.

1220
00:50:31,906 --> 00:50:33,199
I kind of had a reality check

1221
00:50:33,241 --> 00:50:34,701
trying to figure out
what I was gonna do.

1222
00:50:34,743 --> 00:50:36,077
After baseball was over,

1223
00:50:36,119 --> 00:50:37,746
it was time for me
to focus on our family.

1224
00:50:37,787 --> 00:50:39,289
We had a little boy in December.

1225
00:50:39,330 --> 00:50:42,000
Ended up doing medical sales.
That's what I do now.

1226
00:50:42,042 --> 00:50:44,377
It's provided for my family.
It's put food on the table.

1227
00:50:44,419 --> 00:50:47,047
But at the end of the day,
it's not my dream.

1228
00:50:47,088 --> 00:50:49,466
I always sang the entire time
that I was playing baseball,

1229
00:50:49,507 --> 00:50:52,886
but it was a passion of mine
that I never really considered

1230
00:50:52,927 --> 00:50:56,056
to be a possibility
of becoming a career.

1231
00:50:56,097 --> 00:50:58,558
I have never performed
in front of a live audience.

1232
00:50:58,600 --> 00:50:59,934
I've never been in a situation

1233
00:50:59,976 --> 00:51:01,811
where I felt the courage
to be able to do it,

1234
00:51:01,853 --> 00:51:03,438
and then this opportunity
came along.

1235
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:04,898
<i>Jared being out there</i>

1236
00:51:04,939 --> 00:51:07,108
<i>and auditioning</i>
<i>for "The Voice" is huge.</i>

1237
00:51:07,150 --> 00:51:09,903
<i>Most people don't get an</i>
<i>opportunity to chase one dream,</i>

1238
00:51:09,944 --> 00:51:12,030
<i>and now</i>
<i>he's on to his second.</i>

1239
00:51:12,072 --> 00:51:14,449
<i>This could be</i>
<i>life-changing for us.</i>

1240
00:51:14,491 --> 00:51:16,910
<i>Say, "Good luck, Daddy.</i>
<i>Bye. We love you."</i>

1241
00:51:16,951 --> 00:51:18,828
Bye, buddy. Bye, buddy.
I love you.

1242
00:51:18,870 --> 00:51:21,164
<i>Yeah. Bye.</i>

1243
00:51:21,206 --> 00:51:23,083
This blind audition
will be my first gig,

1244
00:51:23,124 --> 00:51:25,210
and it's a little scary
to think about.

1245
00:51:25,251 --> 00:51:28,004
I think baseball played
a huge role in this process.

1246
00:51:28,046 --> 00:51:30,048
Being able to be on the mound
with the ball in your hand

1247
00:51:30,090 --> 00:51:31,675
and know that
every single second,

1248
00:51:31,716 --> 00:51:33,551
somebody is watching you.

1249
00:51:33,593 --> 00:51:34,803
I'm here to
prove this to myself,

1250
00:51:34,844 --> 00:51:35,929
that I can do something new.

1251
00:51:35,970 --> 00:51:37,180
Be a country musician.

1252
00:51:37,222 --> 00:51:39,015
And I'm here for my wife
and for my son.

1253
00:51:39,057 --> 00:51:41,226
And I'm ready.
It's game day.

1254
00:51:43,478 --> 00:51:48,817

the door, I caught a buzz *

00:51:55,907 --> 00:51:58,868
* Knocked me out

kind of blurry *

[ Cheers and applause ]

1273
00:52:41,953 --> 00:52:43,496
Proud of you, Jared.
Nice try, buddy.

1274
00:52:43,538 --> 00:52:50,211
**

1275
00:52:50,253 --> 00:52:52,172
What's your name?
My name's Jared Brasher.

1276
00:52:52,213 --> 00:52:56,551
I'm 26 years old, and
I'm from Huntsville, Alabama.

1277
00:52:56,593 --> 00:52:58,053
I know this isn't
what you --

1278
00:52:58,094 --> 00:52:59,846
it's not what any of us
wanted, man.

1279
00:52:59,888 --> 00:53:01,806
I just feel like
the performance overall

1280
00:53:01,848 --> 00:53:04,059
never felt like
you got comfortable,

1281
00:53:04,100 --> 00:53:05,935
and it's frustrating for me

1282
00:53:05,977 --> 00:53:09,064
because you have
a great country voice,

1283
00:53:09,105 --> 00:53:12,275
but it doesn't matter
if you're not able to control it

1284
00:53:12,317 --> 00:53:14,194
in this situation, you know,
and I know the nerves.

1285
00:53:14,235 --> 00:53:16,071
I don't even know
what that must be like.

1286
00:53:16,112 --> 00:53:17,864
This is my first time ever
actually performing

1287
00:53:17,906 --> 00:53:18,990
in front of anybody.
Ariana: Oh, wow.

1288
00:53:19,032 --> 00:53:20,200
What?
What?

1289
00:53:20,241 --> 00:53:21,451
Yeah, so --
This was your --

1290
00:53:21,493 --> 00:53:22,827
Wow.
What the heck.

1291
00:53:22,869 --> 00:53:24,913
[ Cheers and applause ]

1292
00:53:24,954 --> 00:53:26,539
That's awesome.
Thank you.

1293
00:53:26,581 --> 00:53:28,291
My thing is baseball,
it's always been baseball,

1294
00:53:28,333 --> 00:53:30,085
so I was a professional
baseball player.

1295
00:53:30,126 --> 00:53:32,420
Wow.
You're bold enough
to be like,

1296
00:53:32,462 --> 00:53:34,381
"Sure, I'll try that
for my first time

1297
00:53:34,422 --> 00:53:35,882
ever being in front --"
you know what I'm saying?

1298
00:53:35,924 --> 00:53:37,300
That's something --
you can't teach that,

1299
00:53:37,342 --> 00:53:39,219
to be that confident,
that comfortable in your skin.

1300
00:53:39,260 --> 00:53:40,970
That's amazing.
Thank you.

1301
00:53:41,012 --> 00:53:43,098
Well, you do have
a really special tone.

1302
00:53:43,139 --> 00:53:48,061
I think there was a bit
of control that I was missing

1303
00:53:48,103 --> 00:53:50,063
and maybe that would come
from more experience.

1304
00:53:50,105 --> 00:53:51,398
Obviously, this is your
first time singing

1305
00:53:51,439 --> 00:53:53,900
on a stage like this,
and that's insane.

1306
00:53:53,942 --> 00:53:56,653
The fact that this is that,
you knocked it out of the park.

1307
00:53:56,695 --> 00:53:58,530
But I do think that
with time --

1308
00:53:58,571 --> 00:53:59,698
No pun intended.

1309
00:53:59,739 --> 00:54:01,032
Oh, yeah.
There you go.

1310
00:54:01,074 --> 00:54:02,325
Knocked it out the park.
There you go, yeah.

1311
00:54:02,367 --> 00:54:03,785
There's been lots
of baseball puns.

1312
00:54:03,827 --> 00:54:05,995
That's amazing.
John: It feels like

1313
00:54:06,037 --> 00:54:07,872
it's just a little rough
around the edges

1314
00:54:07,914 --> 00:54:10,125
and needs some finesse
and some touch.

1315
00:54:10,166 --> 00:54:11,418
And if you spend
some more time,

1316
00:54:11,459 --> 00:54:13,420
just like you committed
to your sport,

1317
00:54:13,461 --> 00:54:15,005
that's what you have to do
with your voice, too.

1318
00:54:15,046 --> 00:54:16,423
Thank you so much
for coming today, man.

1319
00:54:16,464 --> 00:54:18,049
Thank you, guys.
I appreciate it.
Thank you, Jared.

1320
00:54:18,091 --> 00:54:20,260
Blake:
I really loved Jared's story.

1321
00:54:20,301 --> 00:54:22,887
And the fact that he was able
to even make it to this point

1322
00:54:22,929 --> 00:54:24,431
tells you that
he's got some talent.

1323
00:54:24,472 --> 00:54:28,935
He just hasn't had a chance
to develop it yet.

1324
00:54:28,977 --> 00:54:30,186
My team's almost full,

1325
00:54:30,228 --> 00:54:32,105
so I'm just being
extra picky right now.

1326
00:54:32,147 --> 00:54:33,940
Sure.
I'll just go sing in front

1327
00:54:33,982 --> 00:54:35,275
of millions of people
for my first time.

1328
00:54:35,316 --> 00:54:36,359
He needs to go
spend a little time

1329
00:54:36,401 --> 00:54:37,861
in the batting cages,
if you will.

1330
00:54:37,902 --> 00:54:39,320
Yeah. I was --
[ Speaks indistinctly ]

1331
00:54:39,362 --> 00:54:41,948

when it's time, you know?

the blind auditions.

1335
00:54:58,506 --> 00:54:59,883
Oh, my God.

1336
00:54:59,924 --> 00:55:03,261
I've been watching "The Voice"
since I was very little.

1337
00:55:03,303 --> 00:55:06,431
I'm a huge fan,
my entire family is,

1338
00:55:06,473 --> 00:55:09,559
so it's super-surreal
to be here right now,

1339
00:55:09,601 --> 00:55:11,728
especially seeing that
behind me.

1340
00:55:11,770 --> 00:55:13,104
Yay!

1341
00:55:13,146 --> 00:55:15,106
I'm Sophia Bromberg.
I'm 16 years old.

1342
00:55:15,148 --> 00:55:17,317
And I'm from
San Rafael, California.

1343
00:55:17,359 --> 00:55:19,819
That's about 15 minutes away
from San Francisco.

1344
00:55:19,861 --> 00:55:24,407
So, I grew up in the Bay Area
in a very musical family.

1345
00:55:24,449 --> 00:55:27,577
My mom sings,
my dad tries to sing.

1346
00:55:27,619 --> 00:55:31,206
My dad's really into
hip-hop and R&B.

1347
00:55:31,247 --> 00:55:33,083
My mom introduced me to, like,

1348
00:55:33,124 --> 00:55:35,418
classical music
and classical piano.

1349
00:55:35,460 --> 00:55:37,253
I'm a senior,
and my high school

1350
00:55:37,295 --> 00:55:39,047
has such an amazing
music program.

1351
00:55:39,089 --> 00:55:40,256
I've learned so much.

1352
00:55:40,298 --> 00:55:41,591
That just opened up

1353
00:55:41,633 --> 00:55:43,343
all these opportunities
for her to perform

1354
00:55:43,385 --> 00:55:46,846
and be in the limelight,
showcasing her voice.

1355
00:55:46,888 --> 00:55:50,225
With the Internet,
social media,

1356
00:55:50,266 --> 00:55:52,602
there are a lot
of different struggles

1357
00:55:52,644 --> 00:55:55,438
that I feel like teenagers today
have to deal with.

1358
00:55:55,480 --> 00:55:59,859
I know how destructive
comparing yourself to others

1359
00:55:59,901 --> 00:56:01,945
can be for teenagers.

1360
00:56:01,986 --> 00:56:07,617
Me specifically, I struggled
a lot with believing in myself.

1361
00:56:07,659 --> 00:56:13,748
That channeled into anxiety,
anorexia, and bulimia.

1362
00:56:13,790 --> 00:56:15,583
Melinda: She had
an eating disorder for a while

1363
00:56:15,625 --> 00:56:17,585
that I didn't really
even understand

1364
00:56:17,627 --> 00:56:21,172
it was an eating disorder
until she was 12 years old.

1365
00:56:21,214 --> 00:56:24,050
We saw the weight dropping
to a point

1366
00:56:24,092 --> 00:56:26,011
where, "This is a problem."

1367
00:56:26,052 --> 00:56:28,138
We assessed the situation,
and together,

1368
00:56:28,179 --> 00:56:30,223
we started
the healing process.

introduced me to him.

And the more I listened to jazz,
the more I fell in love with it.

he had the nickname "The Voice."

of that title.

1736
01:12:33,269 --> 01:12:36,147
Basically, my brain
was too big for my skull,

1737
01:12:36,189 --> 01:12:39,776
and it was squishing out
the back, near my spine.

1738
01:12:39,818 --> 01:12:42,904
I couldn't participate
in all my dance and my singing,

1739
01:12:42,946 --> 01:12:47,117
and it was really hard, because
the one thing that I loved

1740
01:12:47,158 --> 01:12:50,286
I felt like
I couldn't enjoy anymore.

Over the next six months,
along with the headaches,

I started having slurred speech,

leading to me
getting brain surgery.

It was a six-hour surgery.

1746

They took a piece of my skull
out to allow more room
for my brain.

Now that the pressure
wasn't there,

I felt there was, like,
literally a rock

had been, like,
taken out of my head.

I could finally sing again
without being in pain,

1751
01:13:19,441 --> 01:13:20,817

Hi. Nice to meet you.
What a pleasure.

1896
01:20:43,385 --> 01:20:45,136
Hi.
Oh, hello.

1897
01:20:45,178 --> 01:20:47,347
Hello.
My name is Brittany Bree.

1898
01:20:47,389 --> 01:20:49,099
I am from Dallas, Texas.

1899
01:20:49,140 --> 01:20:51,101
Yes!
John: All right.

1900
01:20:51,142 --> 01:20:52,185
Whoo!

1901
01:20:52,227 --> 01:20:53,770
That's where I'm fr--
Yes.

1902
01:20:53,812 --> 01:20:55,480
No, it's not.
Yes.

1903
01:20:55,522 --> 01:20:56,690
You're Oklahoma.

1904
01:20:56,731 --> 01:20:58,817
You are unbelievable.

1905
01:20:58,858 --> 01:21:01,861
I love your voice.
I really enjoy your tone.

1906
01:21:01,903 --> 01:21:03,196
I loved your runs,

1907
01:21:03,238 --> 01:21:07,033
the fullness of it,
the soul, the texture.

1908
01:21:07,075 --> 01:21:08,952
I think intention
is really important,

1909
01:21:08,993 --> 01:21:10,870
and I think
every choice you made

1910
01:21:10,912 --> 01:21:13,039
added so much
emotional value.

1911
01:21:13,081 --> 01:21:15,667
And I think that that's really
important in a performer.

1912
01:21:15,709 --> 01:21:17,043
And I would love
to be your coach.

1913
01:21:17,085 --> 01:21:18,545
I would love to hold your hand
through this.

1914
01:21:18,586 --> 01:21:21,840
* And I would love
for you to pick me *

1915
01:21:21,881 --> 01:21:23,550
[ Cheers and applause ]

1916
01:21:23,591 --> 01:21:26,136
I love you.

1917
01:21:26,177 --> 01:21:30,223
Sometimes we hear that voice
that just grabs us

1918
01:21:30,265 --> 01:21:33,226
and the energy
just explodes from the stage.

1919
01:21:33,268 --> 01:21:34,894
Did you grow up
singing in the church?

1920
01:21:34,936 --> 01:21:36,396
I grew up
singing in the church.

1921
01:21:36,438 --> 01:21:38,064
This is my first time
singing outside of the church.

1922
01:21:38,106 --> 01:21:39,733
Oh, my goodness.
Wow.

1923
01:21:39,774 --> 01:21:42,277
I know that feeling.
[ Laughs ]

1924
01:21:44,070 --> 01:21:47,115
You've never sung secular music
before any audience before?

1925
01:21:47,157 --> 01:21:49,242
Never.
I think
you can go so far,

1926
01:21:49,284 --> 01:21:51,578
and I would love for you
to do it on Team Legend.

1927
01:21:51,619 --> 01:21:52,787
Thank you.

1928
01:21:52,829 --> 01:21:54,080
You're such
a great storyteller.

1929
01:21:54,122 --> 01:21:55,290
Oh, I was
going to say that!

1930
01:21:55,331 --> 01:21:57,208
And I think --
Yeah, but I did.

1931
01:21:57,250 --> 01:21:58,418
Um, and --

1932
01:21:58,460 --> 01:21:59,919
[ Laughter ]

1933
01:21:59,961 --> 01:22:02,047
I'm just kidding!

1934
01:22:02,088 --> 01:22:03,465
I think what shocked me,
though,

1935
01:22:03,506 --> 01:22:05,300
is I was already in,
and I was like, "Okay,

1936
01:22:05,342 --> 01:22:06,843
I'm going to press my button,
but I'm just enjoying this."

1937
01:22:06,885 --> 01:22:09,095
And then you, on the chorus,
like...

1938
01:22:09,137 --> 01:22:11,056
* Call out my name *

1939
01:22:11,097 --> 01:22:12,599
I was like,
"Oh, my gosh."

1940
01:22:12,640 --> 01:22:14,434
I would love to be your partner
in this competition.

1941
01:22:14,476 --> 01:22:16,436
I know how to navigate.
I said "navigate."
Oh. Oh, oh.

1942
01:22:16,478 --> 01:22:18,563
Um, I know how to navigate
a competition.
Drink.

1943
01:22:18,605 --> 01:22:20,607
And -- And I-I -- You know,
I've won the show before,

1944
01:22:20,648 --> 01:22:23,318
and I think that if your voice
isn't in the finale,

1945
01:22:23,360 --> 01:22:24,861
something's wrong.

1946
01:22:24,903 --> 01:22:26,863
Thank you. Thank you.

1947
01:22:26,905 --> 01:22:29,282
I'm worried about you

1948
01:22:29,324 --> 01:22:31,743
because you could
really screw up.

1949
01:22:31,785 --> 01:22:32,952
Mm.

1950
01:22:32,994 --> 01:22:34,704
And --
What?!

1951
01:22:34,746 --> 01:22:38,333
You need something more stable
than what's going on down --

1952
01:22:38,375 --> 01:22:41,461
I mean, Kelly --
Kelly's going to --
And doesn't "Blake Shelton"
scream stable?

1953
01:22:41,503 --> 01:22:44,339
No one is the poster child
of stability

1954
01:22:44,381 --> 01:22:47,008
more so
than Blake Shelton.

1955
01:22:47,050 --> 01:22:49,386
Kelly grew up in Texas,

1956
01:22:49,427 --> 01:22:51,888
and she abandoned her home state
and her family.

1957
01:22:51,930 --> 01:22:53,848
Oh, my gosh!
You are...

1958

John grew up singing
in the church.

1959
01:22:56,768 --> 01:22:58,937
He's probably not been
in a church now...
Oh, my God.

01:22:58,978 --> 01:23:01,022
...in the last 30 --
30-plus years.

the greatest coach

we've ever seen
on "The Voice,"

1965
01:23:10,031 --> 01:23:14,327
but she could be
the worst coach

1966

that we've ever seen
here on "The Voice."
Impossible.

I've been here forever.

others know about it, okay?

So I'd be honored
to be your coach.
