The battles start right now.
Have y'all seen John?
I haven't. I haven't, either.
What the hell's this? Hey.
What?! Just getting ready for battle.
Oh, my gosh. Are you guys ready for battle?
'Cause I'm ready! That's one of your authentic ‐‐
Yes. Oh, wow. Look at that.

and I will minister to you as well. Yes!
This is your first time doing battles,
so you got to use your save wisely.
Mm‐hmm. You got to use your steal wisely.
Yeah. It really is hard, honestly.
Because especially people are very talented.
Season 14, I was a wreck. I was crying about it at night.
I love them. Well, get ready to cry.
I'm ready to see you guys cry. Alright, let's go.
Whoo! Yeah!
Battling now from Team Ariana...
Love you guys! Have fun! ...Bella DeNapoli...
That's my girl! Whoo! ...versus Katie Rae! Okay!
Whoo!
My adviser is the one and only Kristin Chenoweth.
I missed you.
Oh, my God. I'm so happy to see you.
Thank you so much for doing this.
You've no idea what it means to me.
I have grown up worshipping
and studying Kristin.
She has originated some of the most iconic roles of all time,
and I've been so blessed to learn from her,
from watching her, from later on in my life,
being able to work with her.
I still call you "baby girl,"
but I am your musical mama, and you know that. Oh, my God!
So I felt, who better to bring with me
to this space than the person who I feel I've learned
the most from professionally?
I will never forget the first time I met you. Mm‐hmm.
I was 10 years old, and I came backstage at "Wicked."
Yes. Your nana said, "My granddaughter can sing."
You sang, and that's when I knew.
Oh, God. I mean, 10 years old.
I remember Kristin giving me your little wand.
I remember helping you clean up your dog's pee.
That's when I thought, "This girl sings and cleans pee.
Man, she's my girl."
Can't wait for you to meet my team. I can't, either.
Today's my first battle rehearsal with my team.
It is so exciting.
I, immediately after the blinds, started thinking of
which songs and which pairs I might do.
The first pair of the day is two amazing women. Okay.
She's talking about us right now.
Katie Rae... Mm‐hmm. ...and Bella DeNapoli,
my Italian sista.
Two completely opposite, but diva, big vocals.
And I've given them the impossible task
of covering "No More Tears (Enough Is Enough),"
Barbra and Donna.
Which you've done with Barbra
and I've done with ‐‐ Yes, and you've done in your show.
I had the honor and soul‐shaking privilege
of singing this song with Barbra herself.
It's a challenge, but I know that they can tackle it.
Oh, I can't wait. Come on in!
Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
Me every time I see you.
Hi! Oh, my gosh! Come in!
I actually think I almost passed out
to have not only Ariana Grande, but Kristin Chenoweth,
'cause I came from musical theater.
It's like both of my worlds collided.
Ahh!
Are you dead? Are you dying? I'm dying.
Me, too. I know. I can't even believe it.
Kristin Chenoweth is the perfect adviser.
She's in everything from freaking "Glee" to "Wicked."
I was just honestly star‐struck. Where are you from?
♪ New York, New York
I love it.
I'm actually from Sacramento. Oh, my goodness!
What I've been doing for the last three years
is doing all the things that stay‐at‐home moms do.
And, yes, I do sing in the shower or in the car.
♪ Of the hard times
So it was very validating to get the three‐chair turn.
♪ But we're alright
This is for my baby boy.
I went through kind of a hard time after having him.
I love a strong, powerhouse, bad‐bitch vocalist. I'm obsessed.
I had a serious bout of postpartum depression.
But in a way, that's what brought me here.
It's kind of what pushed me to try and find myself again.
And I'm looking forward to this new chapter in my life.
I haven't stopped thinking about either of you since the last time.
Like, I sound more Italian
when you walk in the room, by the way.
I'm like, " Ma, you gotta listen to this."
And I don't talk like that. So I don't know why ‐‐
It's okay. My mom was like, "You really said, 'Holy cannoli'
on live television, Bella?" Holy cannoli.
The blind audition was crazy.
I could have never imagined
that I would be here on Team Ariana today.
I moved to New York City at 18 years old.
I auditioned for a couple of colleges for musical theater,
but I got rejected from my top school.
And I automatically was like, "Nope.
That's not the right field for me."
So I moved back home with my parents,
and that might have been the best thing for me.
They're my huge support system.
Currently, I perform with my parents
when I can at local gigs.
I feel like all of the paths so far has been making me
realize who I am as a person and an artist.
And this is my time.
And the song? Oh, my, God! I can't believe you gave us this song.
I know. I knew you could handle it, though. I can't wait.
The fact that Ariana has done this with Barbra ‐‐
giant shoes to fill.
There's so much emotional integrity at the beginning.
It's a full meal. We're ready to eat.
‐Absolutely. ‐Very much.
Can't wait to be fed. Yeah. Get your forks ready.

It's an iconic song sung by two original divas.
And as I watched both singers, they both own who they are.
It was so respectful of the original,
and it was so stunningly your own.
You brought your own tones and textures and choices to it.
There's one part that I missed.

Ari, as a coach, is musically intelligent.
She's technical.
I'm just so grateful to be able to work with her
and to learn from her, honestly.
Also, like... Yeah.
...I care about the acting.
Stop it right now. Sorry.
I'm gonna cry. Oh, my gosh. Are you for real?
I care, because these ‐‐ these women,
Donna and Barbra, who I grew up,
it's shoes you very delicately step in. Yeah.
And you just slid right in ‐‐ both of you slid right in.
The shoe fits. Thank you. So gorgeous.
Thank you. I'm sorry I'm crying.
I don't know. You're gonna make me cry!
Stop it!
If I were to have told my 13‐year‐old self
that I was gonna be singing this powerhouse song
in front of Kristin and making her cry
and having her feel the way she makes me feel,
was just powerful. You have inspired.
Gosh. Thank you so much. You inspired me.
You inspired us. Oh, my gosh. Both of you. We love you so much.
I truly can't wait to see them at the stage rehearsals.
Bye. Bye.
Oh, my gosh. Thank you.

'Cause that's a really empowering,

Oh, my goodness. I loved the build.
You know, how you both started off in this mellower space
and then just powerhouse.
Bella, there was a word you said ‐‐
I think it was "my"... Yeah.
...and the way the vibrato rang and ‐‐
Uh‐huh. It's "my." Yeah. It was "my."
I was like, oh, my God. You're crying! She's crying.
Just the way you said the word, and I was wondering, like,
how would Katie Rae respond to that?
And, wow, Katie Rae, my lord,
your tone is, like, so good. Thank you so much.
The power and that edge and that rawness in your voice ‐‐
I love it.
It's hard 'cause she's a new coach and, like,
this is the hardest part of what we do,
particularly when you two make it so difficult
by giving such a powerhouse performance.
Thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you so much.
Yeah, just because I prefer her tone
just a little more, I would side with Katie Rae.
That was so rad.
I love the drama of the beginning.
Like, Bella, you started, and I was like, "What?!"
It was just ‐‐ Things were just slipping out of your mouth.
It was just so nice.
Katie, you came in with that sultry sex.
Like, I‐I literally was like, "Oh, my gosh."
Like, you bring all this heavy warmth down here
and the high notes as well, but you bring all these, like,
piercing, kind of more pure notes
happening upstairs.
Way upstairs. And all the ‐‐ I was like, "Oh, she's ‐‐ that's as high ‐‐
Nope, she's still going." In the penthouse.
Bella, you're insane, but there's something
that's super captivating about that sultry,
like, lower end on you, Katie, that I really like a lot.
Thank you so much.
I want to talk about Bella for a minute,
because when you started the song,
it was almost like a scene from, like, some old classic movie.
But then when Katie comes in,
she has such an edgy voice that you're drawn to that.
But I kept thinking back to how the song started.
So I'm leaning towards Bella. Thank you.
Thank you, Coaches.
Ariana, you've got the final decision.
Give us some thoughts first.
I don't want to get too emotional,
but I adore you both so much.
You're both so consistently phenomenal
and, like, there's nothing to be fixed ever.
Oh, my gosh. Every single time we ran it
was stunningly perfect.
There's nothing that either of you can't sing,
and I feel so privileged to work with you
and to have spent this time with you both. We love you.
Thank you.
This song means a lot to me.
My mom and I would sing it together
in the car all the time,
and hearing it sound like this is just so special,
and I'm just so proud of you both and thankful to work with you.
And, oh, God, I hate this so much.
I told you it was gonna happen, girl. I told you.
I literally talked to my therapist about this.
I was like...
This is a tough one. Oh, God!
But the time has come. Oh, my God.
How ‐‐ How do your voice breaks when you cry is like,
what in the hell? Just stop!
Ari, who is the winner of this battle?
I...
I think the winner of this battle is Katie Rae.
Katie Rae, congratulations.
You're moving on to the knockouts
representing Team Ariana!
Katie Rae! So good.
I love you so much. Can I hug you?
This was a really painstaking and tough decision.
I think it was just a matter of emotion.
Every time Katie opened her mouth,
I got goose bumps, but Bella, as well.
Coaches, let me remind you that Bella's available to steal or save.
Bella, anything you'd like to say to your coach? Oh, no.
Ariana, I never in a million years would have thought
that I would even be able to sing in front of you.
And now you're crying over me. What?! I love you. That's crazy.
Give it up for Bella DeNapoli, ladies and gentlemen!
Whoa! We got a save!
Ariana saves Bella! Yeah! Yes! Yes!
Oh, my God. Nobody ‐‐ We can't steal now.
You were crying! Oh, yeah. See? Good.
I'm good. We're not heartless!
I think you are such a stunningly gifted
and consistent vocalist.
I mean ‐‐ No, I can't ever ‐‐ you never ‐‐ please.
Understood, understood.
I was able to save my Bella DeNapoli,
my Italian sista.
I think she's an incredible vocalist.
I think she's such a bright light.
I never would have thought, like,
"Oh, they'll use their save." I am beyond ‐‐
Oh, my God. Thank God.
Oh, no! Oh, thank God.
Oh, my God, I don't know what I would have done without you.
I just had to come surprise you. I'm sorry.
No, it's okay. Come in any time!
Don't worry. Never interrupting me, Ari.

and how you got into Fifth Harmony. Yep.
And you all became the most important group
that came from that show. Thanks.
And then you've gone off to have this amazing solo career.
Thanks! And we're so happy to have you.
I would not be where I am today if I hadn't audition

Okay, give me the cue.
So I'm about to surprise Samuel and KJ
'cause they're singing Shawn and I's song,
"I Know What You Did Last Summer."
Hello! Hello!
KJ! Samuel! Hi!
Hey. Hi! How are you?
So I'm excited to hear their version of it.
Come over here.
Samuel and KJ ‐‐ their voices are quite different,
but they're both charismatic and so engaging.
I'm so excited to hear you two duet with this song.
And I thought, who would be the best adviser?
And it's Camila Cabello. She's here.
Oh, my God! What?
Hi! I freaked out!
I mean, I'm singing her song.
Only legendary behavior allowed. Legendary behavior! Hi!
She has so many hits. She is such a talented singer.
Every single time she gets on that stage, she kills it.
I could not believe it was her.
And you're singing her song!
I don't even know what to say.
You're singing my first song from when I was a baby fetus.
And she wrote this with someone she knows very well,
Shawn Mendes. I know him kinda well.
And this was the first time they collaborated.
Shawn and I started writing this in a dressing room
at Taylor Swift's concert. Wow.
But what's really interesting is for the session,
we had me and Shawn in separate vocal booths,
and we were just kind of improvising that together. Cool.
And that is the bridge that you hear now.
He and I were just kind of bouncing off each other
for that bridge part. Wow. That's cool.
Another fun fact is Shawn could never remember
the words of this bridge. Oh, wow.
And I would always make fun of him
because he always got the words wrong. Yeah, yeah.
And look what happened afterwards.
Hey. The magic happened!
Walked away with more than a song, if you know what I mean.
♪ Does he know?
When I first heard KJ sing, I was intimidated.
It made me nervous, and it is going to be a challenge,
but I'm up for it. I grew up with a big family,
and I'm one of five adopted children.
I remember seeing my dad play in his bluegrass band.
Unbeknownst to me, later on, had an impact on me
in just wanting to perform.
I taught myself how to play the guitar and piano,
and it kind of all led up to me
turning into a full‐time musician
touring around the United States
and playing a lot at breweries, wineries,
private parties, weddings.

Dang! Your riffs be so fast.
That's very sick. Samuel.
I think you were a little ahead of the beat...

I think the chorus ‐‐ just keep it, like, really staccato.
♪ I know what you did last summer ♪
A pop song is like ‐‐ A lot of what drives its impact
is that little staccato delivery. Yeah.
And I'm not naturally that kind of singer.
I'm more of a soul singer. I draw my notes out and vibrato

But for pop music, you gotta attack that rhythm
in the right way, okay? Yeah.

KJ's voice is so cool.
It's so liquid. It's, like, flexible.
And she can do all these runs and she has a lot of power.
That's really good. Yeah!
So good. Thank you.
I love the hunger. You know what I mean? Mm‐hmm.
I love that you're giving face. You're giving acting.
By the time I was in high school,
I was doing musical theater and Shakespeare.
And when I graduated high school,
I moved to L. A. with my boyfriend.
So we're songwriting, producing, and trying to create music.
Samuel, I think you're being a little too shy
about, like, really singing.
Yeah. Just flex a little bit for everybody.
Alright, I got you. And ‐‐
Growing up, I was super shy and, you know,
I cried if I had to go, like,
give my own order at a restaurant or something.
So, vocally, John telling me to find time to shine more ‐‐
it's motivating to go back and, you know,
do the work that I need to do and find those spots.
You still have to be a competitor.
I understand. So show people you can sing.
Alright, I got you. I got you, John. Okay?
Let it ring out, and also, I think,
feed off of KJ's energy.
Look at her more and give it back to her.
You know what I mean? Play out the story more.
Like, she's been cheating, is what the song's saying. Yeah.
Be mad! She's been cheating on you.
And even though it's, like, bad news
you're being confident about, it's like you're also assured
that you know what you're talking about, too. Yeah, exactly.
And so ‐‐ Like, I know what you did, girl.
Yeah. I know.
This was, like, one of the first songs
that I ever did as a solo artist.
So to hear people singing it was really cool.
Feels very hot‐cold, kind of like pushing away... Yes.
...but then, "I know you didn't mean it, though.
Tell me what you did last summer." Yeah.
"Mr. & Mrs. Smith," you know, like... Yes!
You know what I'm saying? Yes! It's gonna be so good.
So I think you guys have the blueprint.
Amazing! Oh, my gosh. Thank you so much.
This is awesome. This is crazy. Great job.
KJ's out there doing it. She's ringing the notes out.
She's finding moments to put her individual stamp on the song.
And I want Samuel to do that, too.

and ‐‐ and the rangy stuff that you were doing.
But Samuel has that cool, smoky sound
like you just smoked a carton of cigarettes
right before you ‐‐ Is that your trick?
Is that what it is? Which we don't advise.
I think based on that tone,
that's probably where I would go, is Samuel. Okay.
This is so hard because, Samuel, I love your tone.
I love your voice. Thank you.
You had one of my favorite blind auditions.
And, KJ, I don't know that I was able to fully appreciate,
based on your blind audition, what I just saw now
come to life in a new way.
Your runs were so precise, and I was like,
"Oh, this diva's ‐‐ whoa. This is a plot twist."
Thank you. Yes. I don't know.
I would personally have to go with KJ, I think.
Thank you.
Thank you, Coaches.
Alright, Johnny, you got the final decision.
Give us some thoughts. The wild thing is that this song
was written by Shawn and Camila
as their first‐ever collaboration
before they were dating.
And the way you all connected, um... like, the chemistry...
...it was great.
Like, they really enjoyed performing together.
That's all I want to say. No pressure.
This is a very powerful song.
KJ, you have great vocal technique, amazing runs.
You come here with enthusiasm, with great energy,
with that big smile. It's just magnetic.
Thank you.
And, Samuel, you emotionally invest in the music
that you're singing.
You sing with connection and passion,
and you asserted yourself in the song in a way that said,
"Even though I'm singing a duet, this is also a battle."
So both of you nailed it.
John, who's the winner of this battle?
The winner of this battle...
...is Samuel.
Samuel Harness, congratulations!
You're moving on to the knockouts on Team Legend.
It was a difficult decision.
I just thought it'd be better to pick Samuel
because I think his voice has a little more character
and individuality and uniqueness.
I'm flabbergasted. I'm so excited.
Team Legend, baby! Whoo!
Coaches, let me remind you that KJ is available to steal.
This has been the honor of my life to stand on this stage,
and thank you to all of you.
Wonderful. Thank you so much.
Give it up one more time for KJ Jennings,
ladies and gentlemen!
Samuel versus KJ was a good battle,
but I like to wait to use my steal
because there's always a battle that happens
towards the end of these things that blows people away.
I love her, and I love him.
That was hard. He's just different. Yeah.
Who will win this Team Kelly battle? My heart's shaking.
Will it be the family trio from Ohio, Girl Named Tom?
I love them. I'm so jealous. They're so good.
Ooh. How do I get rid of this heart pump? Or the 35‐year‐old from Nashville,
Kinsey Rose?
Oh!
They're so great! It's gonna be so good!
Alright, alright, here we go. Welcome to "La Voix."
For my adviser, I brought in Jason Aldean.
I love him. He's a friend of mine.
I'm so happy you're here.
Thanks for having me. I appreciate it. I'm so happy.
I thought Jason would be perfect to help my artists
because if you've seen Jason perform,
it's like a little bit of rock, soulfulness, blues, and country,
and he's got a lot of different kind of flavors
going on in there, and my team is like that.
We didn't really know each other
until we sang "Don't You Wanna Stay?"
And then sometimes you have magic. Yes, you do!
Biggest duet that I've done in my career
was the song I did with Kelly, "Don't You Wanna Stay?"
♪ Don't you wanna stay here?
That was a huge, huge song that introduced me
to a whole different fan base.
Oh, my God! It's one of my favorite songs ever.
Got us nominated for a Grammy.
I know.
We should have won. Whoever won sucks.
I'm just kidding.
I feel very fortunate to have had the career I've had
and to be able to come and share some of that knowledge.
Get ready for every genre of music.
Perfect. I love it. I love it. Yes, I know.
I'm excited to be here.
I've always wanted little brothers and sisters.
If it was me and my sister,
it would not be as nice as you guys.
When we found out we were paired with Kinsey, it was like, "Yes!"
‐Yeah. ‐Yeah.
Kinsey's a great harmonizer,
so she just fits right in.
I have a couple groups this season.
This is, uh, Girl Named Tom.
Incredible family harmonies.
Right. Yeah. It's insane.
They were, like, a four‐chair turn.
Everybody was like, "Oh, my gosh."
And then I have Kinsey Rose, who last season
I blocked Blake for Kenzie, which is a guy.
And then this season I blocked Blake for Kinsey,
which is a girl. And she sings country,
and she kind of has this really cool voice, too.
I feel like she could cover a lot of different kind of artists.
Yeah, let's meet them. So I'll bring them in. Come on.
Oh, my.
What's up?! This is Jason Aldean, everybody!
How are you? I'm Kinsey. Nice to meet you.
When I saw Jason, I was so excited.
There is a country artist there.
Hey, I love your bar in Nashville. Oh, thank you.
I've been in Nashville for 11 years.
I've played up and down Broadway,
all of the honky‐tonks there.
Country music is primarily what I sing.
Jason has been doing this for a long time.
He's played for huge audiences.
So can learn a lot from a guy like Jason.
I was excited to bring Jason.
We've done a duet together, so it's kind of the same thing.
We're kind of trying to create magic here with people
that maybe haven't sang together before.
Sometimes you capture lightning in a bottle. Yes!
And you just never know when that's gonna be.
Alright, y'all ready? Let's do it.
Go team. Team.
♪ Now, I have loved you
I paired Girl Named Tom and Kinsey Rose
because I knew Kinsey's country
and I knew they liked James Taylor, and I thought,
let's just find something we can do in the middle.
"Seven Bridges Road" was kind of a perfect song by The Eagles.
♪ And I have loved
You have those family harmonies that sound amazing together.
♪ Sometimes
Kinsey is obviously a country singer
and has little cracks in her voice here and there.
They sounded great together.
♪ There are stars
♪ In the southern sky
The song is about the singer's journey back to his hometown.
My grandparents lived in a town called Elizabethtown, Kentucky.
That was like my home away from home.
And I remember whenever we'd hit that gravel road,
I could smell the cow manure,
and I loved the country smells.
And I knew we were almost to Grandma and Grandpa's house.
♪ Road
That was incredible! Yeah.
Oh, my God.
I feel like I'm at a bluegrass festival. I love it. I love it.
So you guys ‐‐ bluegrass background, or...?
Kinsey's really into that, like, country‐bluegrass feel,
so we were all about, like, embracing that for this song.
I mean, you nailed it so much to where he thought
that's where your roots were.
Yeah. Oh! Shucks. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We've been a band for two years.
At first, we were making all kinds of phone calls
and e‐mails trying to get people to listen.
What was our ratio, do you think?
Oh, it was not great.
Rock, paper, scissors, shoot. Yes!
We were homeschooled growing up,
and I think that really affected how close we are.
Bekah, do you want eggs?
People might think it's odd that we still live together.
We're kind of poor, so it makes financial sense.
Yeah, it's so efficient. It's absolutely true.
When I graduated high school,
we packed up the van and hit the road.
We describe our genre as acoustic pop.
We would be singing for wineries, churches,
retirement centers, anywhere that would take us,
and we're on "The Voice" now.
Family harmonies, man. I know!
It's as tight as you can get. So tight!
And then your thing is, like, trying to fit in with that,
but also kind of stand on your own
and have your moment, too.
So the Alison Krauss‐y, Lee Ann Womack kinda...
Ooh! I was gonna say Lee Ann Womack meets Alison Krauss.
Yeah. It would be really cool, though,
when you start at the top of the song, to not just wail.
Especially with you guys, there's a fine line of it
being a jumbled mess and being able to hear
each one of you guys individually
that makes up this, like, really cool thing.
This is the first time we've done it with the band,
so we might be oversinging.
Would it be weird to just completely stop?
♪ Seven bridges road
Then maybe you could come in ‐‐ ♪ Road
Arranging music is one of our favorite parts.
After the modulation, if you come in on "Southern." Yeah.
We post videos on social media
about us arranging the songs.
We give ourselves a one‐hour time limit.
Sometimes it works.
Sometimes it's not so great, but...
♪ Down the seven bridges
I liked it a lot better
when they sort of stripped it down
and let the vocals kind of stand out front a little bit more
and shine, and I was really impressed.
I definitely think it's gonna be... Hell yeah!
...one of the most memorable performances.
It could bring the house down. Could bring the house down.
Great job! Thank you so much.
I'm so stoked to see this performance.
Girl Named Tom and Kinsey knocked it out of the park.
This decision is gonna be so tough.
Let the battle begin.

Okay, Team Kelly.
You four need to be singing together all the time, you know?
Thank you.
Kinsey, in terms of winning this show,
you're definitely somebody I would think about
if I was Kelly because you have so much character in your voice.
And, by the way, you look like Hank Williams Sr. up there.
I mean, look at that. That's a Hank Williams Sr. up there.
Thank you very much.
And then Girl Named Tom ‐‐ together, it was incredible.
But when you stepped out with that top note towards the end,
your voice is so freakin' powerful.
You guys are great, too, but, uh ‐‐
She's the real reason we're here, so...
No! They pay me to pick people,
but I don't care. I'll take a pay cut.
I'm not gonna say. It's too good.
This was so incredible.
Kelly, you arranged the hell out of this.
They arranged that version. Really? Oh, my God.
It was so great, so brilliant.
It sounded like you could be a group,
all four of you, but also
so incredible individually as well.
If I had to lean, I would lean slightly
in the direction of Girl Named Tom?
That was so inspiring and beautiful.
This is the kind of thing people pay lots of money
to experience, you know?
Thank you. Thank you, yeah.
Musically, I feel a little bit more connected
with Girl Named Tom, but I would say Kinsey, to me,
sounded like the best soloist.
Her tone is just so crisp, and it's very compelling.
Thank you, Coaches!
Alright, Kelly, you got the final decision.
Give us some thoughts first.
I'm so proud to say that you're on my team.
It's just such a special thing for me.
You know, Girl Named Tom, I have heard you in rehearsals.
I have heard each of you sing, and you're incredible.
And, Kinsey, you're the kind of country singer that I love.
And no one's like you on the show.
Kelly, the time has come.
Who is the winner of this battle?
Okay. We're just getting in there.
And t‐this whole thing is about strategy sometimes, you know,
so just, we're getting in there, and I'm just so nervous.
There's gonna be some stealing, I know this.
I know! I'm nervous which one! So I'm nervous!
That was all crazy, what I just did. Um, I'm aware.
Uh, okay.
The winner of this battle...
...is Girl Named Tom.
Girl Named Tom is moving on to the knockouts
representing Team Kelly. So good, so good.
Y'all, Girl Named Tom and Kinsey Rose ‐‐
like four mics dropped, and you're welcome.
Great job. It was so great.
I picked Girl Named Tom because that family harmony
is so incredible and it's so tight.
There's just something special about it.
It's so exciting. Yeah. I just ‐‐ Waaaaaah!
Coaches, let me remind you that Kinsey's available
to steal or save.
Kinsey, anything you'd like to say to Kelly?
Oh, my gosh! That was fast.
Oh! Whoa! We got a save,
and John is in with a steal!
I'm gonna cry. Should I get in it? Oh, no!
Nooooo! There's Blake with a steal!
Kinsey, you can go back to Kelly,
or you can have John Legend, or you can have Blake Shelton.
You know, I am not the obvious choice in this situation.
Don't do it! He's doing the reverse‐psychology thing.
Listen, I just wanted to honor
how amazing you were to me. Thank you so much.
I thought you had the best voice of the group up there,
and you should not be going home.
I know I can be a good coach for you,
and I know you deserve to be here.
That's all I want to say.
Have you ever narrowly escaped a terrible car accident
where it's like ‐‐ and you look back and you go,
"Wow, wow. I'll never do that again"?
This is that moment for you right now.
I'm sorry. Are we saying picking Kelly Clarkson
is like picking a car accident?
Oh, my God. This is your chance to never make
that horrible mistake again... What?!
...even though you didn't even have a chance... What?
...the first time around when Kelly blocked you...
Oh, truth. ...from even having the chance
to not be in that horrible car wreck.
She was the person driving the other car.
Are you okay?
This is your chance to escape something tragic.
I'd love to be your coach, Kinsey.
Kel, you're using your one and only...
I am. ...save against two steals.
Which is not fair. Okay, let me explain something.
I did not choose.
I know I had to, technically. You. She did not choose you.
No, no, no, no, no. Yes, yes.
No, no, no. Like, I was just very nervous,
and so I just picked one. I want you on my team.
I have a whole list on my notes on my phone.
I'm so excited to work with you.
Kinsey, it is all up to you.
Who do you pick as your coach? Oh, my gosh.
I don't know!
Shock the world! Shock the world!
I can't even pick off of a menu
what I want for dinner.
Like, this is so hard.
Would you like a Blake burger?
Would you like John...
John's fried chicken. ...salmon?
I want to be fried chicken. I like fried chicken. Or Kelly cakes?
Oh, my gosh. Okay.
Can I just say one thing? I just have to say one thing.
I, too, appreciated and respect...
Thank you. That means a lot. ...and adore your voice.
I had to sneak that in there, not to make it about me. Thank you.
But like, hello, I'm sitting here, the only one
without a thing in front of my seat.
Well, push it!
Aah! There we go!
We got another steal!
Three steals and a save! That is a "Voice" first.
Now, this is good television.
So you've got the burger, you've got the veggie burger,
you've got the thing, you've got the thing,
I'll be a turkey burger. What's for dinner?
Kinsey, I don't know what to tell you.
I've never seen this on "The Voice." I'll ask you again.
Thank God we have no more coaches to press buttons.
Who do you pick as your coach? Come on, Kinsey!
Come home!
Blake, Blake, Blake, Blake!
But I love all of you. Aw, man!
Blake, Blake, Blake, Blake!
But I love all of you. Aw, man!
Kelly saved me twice.
Oh, my God! Are you picking me? Are you picking me?
Kelly Clarkson... ...has been selected.
Kinsey is staying put! Oh, my God!
So I'm really happy. All the seals in the world
could not rip her from my grasp.
Oh, my God. I'm so excited.
Kinsey ‐‐ her tone - is like Alison Krauss/ - Dolly,
like this very authentic country sound that I love.

You're kind of born knowing this song,
"Joy to the World." Absolutely.
I think we were born. Yeah. Yes, sir.
You know, when I moved to Nashville,
my first job was I painted a lady's house
by the name of Mae Boren Axton.
Her son was a guy named Hoyt Axton,
who wrote "Joy to the World."
He got me on his bus one day, and he sang me "Ol' Red."
That was the first time I ever sang "Ol' Red." What?!
Wow. So I was 18 years old
and already found what ended up being
possibly my signature song.
I gave Peedy and Joy Reunion
"Joy to the World" by Three Dog Night,
and I think this is a perfect song
because it's a vintage throwback,
which is great for Peedy, and it's also from a band,
a trio, and that's perfect for Joy Reunion.
And everyone knows Jeremiah.
They loved his wine, I know that. Mm‐hmm.
It's mighty good, mighty good. Mighty good.
Hey, you're not old enough to know that.
That's right. Peedy, how old are you?

And, Peedy, I feel like the first round,
the only reason why I didn't hit my button

This round, while your influences
were so clear and present,
I heard more of you, and that was really cool.
It's so good. I loved it. Thank you.
We truly felt the joy, and you singing as a foursome,

But, Peedy, I don't even know what to say.
Like, I was literally grinning ear to ear.
That level of confidence is so cool. Thank you.
Thank you, Coaches.
Alright, buddy, you got the final decision.
Give us some thoughts first.
Joy Reunion, just how smooth and ‐‐ and flawless

Blake, who is the winner of this battle?
Uh...
...the winner of this battle is Peedy. There you have it!
That was a great battle.
I love The Joy Reunion. But Peedy is just special.
Definitely think Peedy has not only a chance

This is just a very surreal moment,
and I'm so thankful to be going forward.
It's very, very exciting.

Aww! We feel really proud of him. We love him.
So, thank you, guys. Thank you.
Give it for The Joy Reunion!
As great as The Joy Reunion and their harmonies are,
it was hard to really get a sense of their identity.
I think Kelly had the most four‐chair turns this season,
so I'm definitely looking at her team for a possible steal.
I like Peedy.
I could not take my eyes off of whatever ‐‐ No.
I was like, "Well, what?!"
Yeah. That's what I was saying.
It's like I don't even know what's going on around here.
It's, like, whimsical in a way.
It's so different.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
I can't believe how far you've come,
and for you to invite me, thank you,
because you know how much I love young talent,
and you are who they look up to so much.
Because you're who I look up to most. Full circle. Like, it makes me want to cry.
Okay. It's very exciting. Okay, it's Chavon and David.
They're gonna sing "Sugar, We're Goin' Down" by Fall Out Boy.
Fall Out Boy, yes! Me too. Very excited about this.
There they are.
Not this gasp in unison.
Even on‐pitch.
Hi! Hi!
How are you guys? Whoa! What's up?
Super cool to walk in and see Kristin Chenoweth.
Just to have that perspective is really cool
'cause she's done so much, from TV to Broadway
to, you know, really everything.
Hi. Hi!
This is Kristin Chenoweth.
It's so cool to meet you. Where y'all from?
I'm from New York. Yes, I love New York, obviously.
Oklahoma. Okay, so, that's my birthright.
It's absolutely insane to be here
to have made it past the blinds.
♪ Ohh, red lights, stop signs
♪ I still see your face
Welcome! Thank you!
Back in Tulsa, I am a court clerk,
which basically just means I file papers all day.
While I am extremely thankful for my job,
it can become incredibly monotonous.
I would love to create a career out of music,
and I think this opportunity is what I needed.
I tried to find something that would be right for both of you,
and I thought that since you share the common ground
of singing pop songs
and making them rock interpretations,
why not find a rock song that was a huge pop smash?
It's definitely home for me. It's like nostalgia.
I grew up in that pop punk genre.
I remember going up in my room and playing this song on drums,
just like, you know, rocking out.
I'm in a band with my best friends and my brother.
We play New York City a lot. It's a good time.
For my blind audition, I sang "breathin"
by Miss Ariana Grande.

Coming into this whole thing,
I definitely wanted to be on Ari's team.

To be the sole chair that turned and it was her
was just super special.

Ariana chose a really good song for the both of us.
It's kind of a departure from what I would typically sing,
but I'm ready to, you know, push myself.

The way that you came together.
I know this is a competition.
Ariana. It didn't feel like you were fighting or competing,
which is really annoying, 'cause you have to stay forever.
Everyone has to stay forever.
But it felt like we were here to watch y'all duel
in the most loving and respectful... Organic.
...and celebratory of each other way.
One thought for each of you, then I'll just shut up.
No, never.
I love it when you smile. Don't forget. Mm.
Because you got the voice, and I love the hair.
I love your cool vibe. You're cool.
And you cool, Oklahoma. But I would just concentrate
a little bit more on the enunciation.
Okay. Take what you want and delete the rest.
Thank you, next. It's funny bec‐‐
I should not speak about enunciation, because when
I'm singing pop music, it sounds like another language.
There's something incredible that happens
in the end of the first verse.
♪ A notch in your bedpost
By the way, one of the best lyrics ever written ‐‐
I'm just a notch in your bedpost,
and you're just a line in a song. Crazy.
Couldn't agree more. Whoo!

I wanted to pay attention to those moments
both times they happen 'cause I just want to make sure
they're just as tight and clean and precise as possible.

Especially the ♪ da‐na when you go down.
Mm‐hmm. Don't give up too soon.

My favorite part of the song in the original,

is that really cool back‐and‐forth.
That advice you gave us was phenomenal.
Oh, we can't contain it.
Here's what I'm gonna do.
When I like something, I'm throwing my shoe.
Yeah. There you go.
Can we keep that? Um...
No, she needs to throw it at more people. Oh, okay.
Thank you, Ariana.
I'll save it for when I like the next person,
if that happens.
I know that you both want my phone number,
and I will give it to you later, okay?
Yes! Absolutely!
I'm dead!
Chavon and David, they have some really cool moments
where they're sort of following each other on these runs
in such tight harmony. I think it's really hard
to execute something like that so perfectly.
It's gonna be a really tough one.

Whoo! I liked that. Whoo! Wow!
Oh, my God! That was awesome! Thank you, man. Whoo!
That was really, really good.
Chavon, you have such a strong voice and a cool tone.
My only concern with you
is a little bit on the pronunciation.
I feel like you can be a little more clear.
What I loved about David was that clarity.
Your tone is really, like, appropriate for the genre.
And like, I could hear a record, I could hear you on the radio.
It just connected for me.
And so I would side with David. Thanks, John.
That was literally one of my favorite battles.
Like, I love that song so much, I wore it out.
I'm still wearing it out. Honestly!
I think you both bring something different to the table.
David, like, you do have a lot of clarity in the high note,
so it's really cool.
You know, Chavon, cool name.
David is cool, too. Very biblical, solid.
But ‐‐ But Chavon I've never heard. Solid.
And, Chavon, you have more of a low end,
but your voices, like, melted perfectly together.
I don't know who to pick.
I mean, just because he picked David, I'll go with Chavon.
Just had to contradict me.
Yeah, I just want to disagree with you.
Okay.
Chavon may have the cooler name,
but David has the way cooler hair.
I mean, Look at that. I don't know what's gonna happen,
but there's definitely a shampoo commercial in your future.
It was just such a good performance
and just a good blend.
It was almost like watching a band.
I don't really have any things that I could point to
from a vocal standpoint. I guess if I had to pick,
I mean, I got to vote for my Ada, Oklahoma, guy.
So I'm gonna say Chavon also.
Thank you so much. Thank you, Coaches.
Ari, you got the final decision, but give us some thoughts first.
This is so unimaginably hard for me.
I was so looking forward to this performance
that for the past week,
I've been playing this song in the car on repeat,
but, like, singing your ad libs in my head. And I... Mm!
...love and care about you both, and you're both so talented.
Chavon, I love that low end in your voice.
I love that tone and how it complements the guitar.
David, I love your tone as well. I hear what they're saying.
It belongs on pop radio like today,
and it's so hard because you're both too damn talented.
I wish I had another save.
But nonetheless, I'll be fans of you both and stalking you
and coming to your shows for like a long time.
You're gonna be like, "She's here again?"
And I'm gonna be like, "Yeah, I'm here again."
Then I'm gonna be like, "Hi, can you sign my shirt?"
Anyway... Tough decision for you.
Who is the winner of this battle?
The winner of this battle... ...is David.
David Vogel is moving on to the knockouts!
Congratulations!
Oh, my God. Chavon and David are my boys.
I love them so much.
I think that just in this context, David was more present.
I can hear him on pop radio right now.
I think he cut through slightly more.
Coaches, let me remind you that Chavon is available to steal.
Chavon, anything you want to say?
Thank you so much for seeing something in me
and for taking me along for this ride.
I love you, and I'm very appreciative of you.
I love you, too! Thank you.
Thank you, guys. Give it up one more time for Chavon Rodgers,
ladies and gentlemen!
Can I have a hug?
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait! Wait, wait!
Aww!
He didn't see you! He didn't see you.
I'm heartbroken no one stole Chavon,
but Kelly swooped in and gave me the best hug.
That broke my heart!
Guys, are you sure he didn't see me?
In his defense, you're incredibly tiny.
Coming up, the final battle of the night
blows everyone away.
♪ Heaven is a place not too far away ♪
That's amazing! I mean, it was flawless.
♪ Be the one to say
♪ We all make mistakes Yes!
Your runs almost catapulted me through the roof.
That is a steal! And there's another one!
You want to know why Ariana's crying
and decisions are taking so long to be made?
Because the talent this year is ridiculous.
Ridiculous in a good way.
Just dancing. Come on. Do a little dance. Yeah!
Oh, oh! Mm, mm, mm!
Let's get it.
I like that I've been in their shoes
and I've come up this way, but you ‐‐
like, how long did it take?
These shows weren't around. Yeah.
And so I started playing bars when I was 14.
You were 14 years old in a bar? Yep.
Welcome to Georgia.
It's gonna be amazing. It's gonna be dope.
We know who doing it for us. God is getting the glory at the end of the day.
Yeah. So excited. I am, too. Come here. Hug.

I stalked y'all online.
I always do that with my team. 'Cause she's weird and does that.
I did, because I know the weight and the gravity
of the situation. I get it.
So, I did love the idea of y'all doing this song
"Hold On" because it was a little outside
of what I thought you might pick.

Whoo! Your riffs are sneaky. They're crazy.
Beyoncé has a little bit of that sometimes when she's singing.
Thank you so much. That means a lot.
Saying that I had a little Beyoncé‐like riff and run
there was, like, everything!
You both have amazing voices. Thank you.
Dude, your falsetto is... Thank you so much.
That is gonna be your thing.
Really cool. This is a good pairing.
I knew y'all were gonna sound great together.
I'm so happy about it.
I do think it would be cool to start a little less big.
Okay. Yeah, instead of just going all out,
keep a little bit back.
Keep it a little breathier in the verse.
You want to save the big punch for the chorus.
That's where you're gonna grab them. Totally agree.

Right now, I think both of them need to work on
how to really use dynamics as an artist would.
Like, I want to know who can navigate that.
'Cause what I want to show with y'all
is I want to show the sweetness, too. Yeah.
And then on that "say," that's where you start transitioning
and you get really big after that. Okay. Cool.
Yeah, 'cause it's a vocal competition, I'm just saying.
Let's just show them. Let's just show up.

'cause I feel like I'm like that, too, when I'm back home.
I was doing vocal coaching. I love teaching.
I love when the students are inspired.
I love when they found their voice,
and that to me is the most beautiful thing
'cause I found my voice at a very young age.
This is a life‐changing opportunity for me,
and I'm ready for the journey. That's amazing!
I mean, it was flawless. Thank you so much!
Absolutely. If you guys do that... That was so good.

and blow the roof off the place.
Thank you. And, Jeremy, you're the one
that I was most concerned about, because of her. Me too.
I was going, "What is this guy gonna do?"
You know? Great job, dude.
I mean, wow, way to step up to the plate.
Absolutely.
I think just because of the shock factor of it,
I think I'd probably pick Jeremy in this one.
Thank you, Blake. Oh, my God.
This show is like the most painful thing
I've ever been a part of.
It's actually incredible, but this stuff sucks.
What an incredible performance.
You're such powerhouse vocalists.

Thank you so much.
What I was most moved by was the heart
that I felt coming from both of you.
Jeremy, your voice has this silkiness to it
and range that is ridiculous.
Thank you so much. You are such a gifted singer.
Truly. Thank you, John. Thank you.
Jershika... Yes?
...those runs, they were so tight and so precise.
Most people cannot do it. Thank you.
And it really worked for me.
You are soulful and you are a damn good singer. Thank you.
Oh, thank you! I would side with Jershika.
Thank you, Coaches.
Alright, Kelly, give us some thoughts
before you have to make this tough decision. Aw, man.
There's like two amazing powerhouse vocalists
that I have to choose from now.
You both elevated each other,
and I thought that was kind of cool and magical.
Jeremy, hands down, I remember in rehearsals
I was like, "Is he singing the high part?"
And honestly, Jershika, you sang low stuff.
That's why it was crazy, y'all are such ‐‐
Your ranges are so incredible. To be able to create that blend
is such a sign of a great artist. Yes.
Y'all have like the best hearts in the world as well.
Thank you. Like, you're so sweet and you're genuine

Tough one for you, Kelly.
Who is the winner of this battle?
The winner of this battle... ...is Jeremy.
Jeremy, stunned by that announcement,
is moving on to the knockouts for Team Kelly!
Jeremy is one of those vocalists
that's just so powerful and so soulful and so honest.
I'm just really excited to see what he wants to sing next.
Great job. Great job.
It means everything to me to continue

She believes in me, and I'm gonna show her
