adriana, I never had a
waitress like you.

It, to be honest with you.

Christina.
You were watching intently.

What were your thoughts?
yeah.

Well, you know, I have grown so
attached to these guys as I

Always do.
Spending that time together last

Night and everything.
I think that what america sees

And what they don't know also
behind the scenes, behind

Cameras is how sweet and genuine
you are.

You truly are.
[ cheers and applause ]

I'm really glad for adam
pointing that out.

Thank you, adam.
It's true.

That song is really -- the way
it starts from low, builds into

Mid range and goes super high.
To hit the notes consistently is

Really hard to do.
I don't know if I would be up

For that challenge.
You went up there and you have

The most amazing energy.
I want america to grow with you

And back you up because you're
amazing.

You move on stage, skipping
around.

would have hyperextended

Something.
For you to do that and sing --

Christina aguilera.
What do you think?

I mean, de'borah, I love you.
De-bo, you have a piece of my

Heart.
You're so real, so raw.

You command the stage.
Safe to say no one on this show

Can do it the way de'borah does
it.

The way you work the stage, hop
around, it takes so much energy.

I love the passion and the heart
you put into what you do.

God, you know.
I just want america to see that

In you and to know you're just
the real deal.

carson: You're like the
peruvian magic mike.

Let's chat with the coaches.
Adam?

What do you think?
diego, how are you?

good, good.
I thought you did a good job.

Before you sang the song you
mentioned talking to cee lo that

You weren't as comfortable.
That was in the back of my mind.

I was thinking is he going to
get comfortable.

Seemed like sometimes you
weren't fully engaged in it like


There were moments that were

Passionate and moments it seemed
like you were almost kind of

Bored.
But a good performance.

It was a good performance.
carson: Blake shelton.

[ applause ]
well, from my position is

Good thing for you is I didn't
know what you were saying

Anyway.
So I didn't know.

There's a coolness about you
that is real.

It happens on stage.
It seems relaxed to me.

It doesn't even bother me that
you're not wearing socks.

That's how cool you are.
Man, I'll let him get away with

That.
He's pretty cool.

carson: Thank you, blake, I
think.

Christina?
me and adam are seeing eye to

Eye tonight.
it's a miracle!

I know!
The heavens opened up on us.

I thought the same thing.
I felt you were a little not


choice.

I'm just wondering, you say you
aspire to do rock.

What's your favorite song to

Sing in the whole wide world?
honestly, I'm the type of

Artist that when I have a chance
to do something I write original

Music.
I grab my guitar.

that's what I feel for you.

I get the chance to sing
something else.

It's hard, but I give it my
best.

you did.
You did.

carson: Thank you.
30 seconds.

Give me some thoughts, cee lo.
well, diego, diego, of course

I can hear a little strain in
your voice.

I understand what pressure
you're under performing this

Record.
I did think it would give you an

Opportunity to be in a safe
place.

You know, be able to sing
something in your native tongue.

I thought you would be
comfortable there.

I didn't want to be overbearing
or insistent.

I thought it would come alive.
What I do think is that you're

Naturally cool.
I think you're fluid in the

Language of love and the song is
sexy and these american women

Are going to vote for you.
[ cheers ]

you know what I'm saying?
I will be honest, critical and

Say it wasn't your best vocal
performance.

But I don't think it was
terrible at all.

I enjoyed you because you're a
good friend of mine.

I thought it was a solid
performance, well rounded.

I think we can go forward as
long as america says so.

All right coaches.

We'll get to your coach cee lo

Adam?
I felt like the '50s.

You're like a throwback to buddy
holly, really clean cut.

You're friggin' adorable.
Obviously all the girls are in

Love with you.
You definitely -- you're

Definitely an idol.
You know, you're an american

Idol, but I don't know if you're
the winner of "the voice."

You're still a great character I
like to see perform.

That means a lot.
Not just to this show but in

General.
You're dialled in.

I want to see more happen.
Interesting weird twists and

Ti
turns which clearly that's the

Right dude for those things.
It was entertaining.

Really good.
so nice.

Thank you.

month, blake shelton.

still trying to figure out
what adam just said.

You know, you snuck up on me in
this competition.

Through the blind auditions, the
battle rounds and now through

The knockout rounds you did
"call me maybe" and it was like,

Oh, my gosh, who is this guy?
I think you're one of those guys

That when you have a chance and
you get the opportunity to make

Something your own and whatever
you and cee lo are ultimately

Going to end up coming up with,
I do think that this is what

]esto que estas diciendo
the more popular people in this

Competition.
And that can play into your hand

If you choose the music
correctly.

carson: Thank you, blake.
Christine that, 20 seconds.

What do you think?
hi!

You're definitely a little
charmer.

I think you're adorable.
You have this knack of

Recreating in a more organic way
these well-known pop tunes which

Suits you really, really well.
But I would also like to see you

Step out of the box a little bit
more.

Maybe the next choice do
something more vulnerable,

Something with more depth.
That would be interesting.

carson: Thank you.
Coach cee lo?

[ applause ]
I agree, I agree.

I think christina makes a great
point.

I do think a song like this was
a good choice.

This is your wheelhouse.
I thought you did a great job.

What I want to do is see more
energy.

I want to see more interaction
and you really getting the crowd

Involved.
Like this is where it counts the

Most on the live rounds.
You've got to make america

Believe.
You know what I'm saying?

I'm a fan.
You did a wonderful job.

Your voice sounded great.
I like it when you opened up and

Embellished on the song.
It doesn't have to be the way it

Was recorded.
It's your song for the moment,

So live in it.
I always want to keep

Encouraging that.
I say let's go forward.

But america has to agree.
I think you did a great job

Tonight.
We'll see what happens.

Do better.

I was watching the b roll stuff

One, ladies.
Coach christina loved it.

Let's get some thoughts, if I
can, from the coaches.

All right, ladies, all right.
Thank you.

Let's start with adam.
what's happening, man?

Well, the good news is that the
girls really love you.

[ cheers ]
that's fantastic, but, you

Know, that's not what we're
talking about.

I think you've got a really
great voice.

The best thing is the precision
in between the runs is razor

Sharp, accurate, great.
It's a different choice.

I love when you did "sarah
smile."

I like to see choices like that
for my personal taste which

Doesn't matter in this instance.
I want to see you maybe break

Out even more.
Listen, you're a handsome dude,

You clearly shop at the same
stores as I do.

So you've got good taste and
you're a great singer, man.

Good job.
thank you, adam.

carson: Blake, quickly, some
thoughts.

hey, first of all, how dare
you not pick me as your coach

And then come out here and sing
a country song?

trying to make it up to you,
man.

insult to injury.
I agree with what adam said

About the runs and how accurate
you are.

a few years ago you didn't
know what a run was.

it's when you get sick.
You have eaten something --

you learned something from
me.

carson: Coach christina, what
do you think about dez?

this is how I feel about dez.
[ cheers and applause ]

I'm giving him a personal
standing ovation.

I just -- I mean I honestly -- I
have seen such an improvement

From you.
You nailed it.

For me, you did everything spot
on.

I always tell you that you have
great execution within your ad

Libs and the tightness.
But to look like that, shine

Like that, to have the stage
charisma, you have grown in

That, too.
You definitely upped your game.

Then to sing that way, you are
entirely the full package.

You have it all.
[ cheers and applause ]

okay.
They're telling me to wrap up.

So I've got to zip it.
America, how can you not love
