Eight weeks ago, the Superbowl ended
and the phenomenon began...
...as "The Voice" became the
number one show of the season.
That's what I'm talking about!
It all started with the blind auditions.
When four of the biggest
superstars in music began their
search for the greatest voice in America.
I want you on my team badly.
Each coach picked 12 artists
for their team and paired them
up in vocal battle duets...
♪ I want it all ♪
Leaving the coaches
with agonizing decisions over who to
represent their team in the live shows.
But tonight, everything changes.
Live shows are a whole different ballgame.
You make a mistake, that's it.
It's all on the line when two of
the coaches' teams make mistakes.
I love being part of the creative process.
Now we get to the nitty-gritty of
production, using dancers and showcasing.
Let's go!
While Blake will showcase
unique-sounding vocalists.
It's like Adam is going to freak out.
There is nothing I won't do for my team.
I want to see every single
one of them win this team.
They'll train their artist for
a performance of a life time.
Go all the way on the courses.
For the first time this season,
the power to choose shifts.
It's not all in the hands of us coaches.
It's up to America now.
America will help decide who stays in
the competition and who goes home.
Everyone's got somebody
who can surprise you.
Only one artist can win it all,
a recording contract with
universal Republic records and the
chance to become music's next big star.
The live show begins right
now on "The Voice!"
Welcome to "The Voice!"
I'm Carson Daly, and these are
your coaches... Adam Levine,
Cee Lo Green, Christina
Aguilera and Blake Shelton!
What a huge night.
For the very first time
this season we are live!
Tonight, six artists from team
Blake and team Christina will be
performing on the stage.
You have the power to vote to
make sure your artists remain
toll-free 866 number, texting
from your sprint phones,
downloading your favorite
artists' songs, logging on to
iTunes or logging on to nbc
.Com or the Facebook page.
You only have a 12 hour voting
window, so make sure your
favorites stay in the game.
Voting opens at the end of the
show and closes at 10:00 a.M.
You have no excuse not to vote.
Christina, we start with you.
What are you expecting
from your artists tonight?
I could not be more thrilled.
My team has been in rehearsal,
blood, sweat and tears.
They are diverse.
I'm so proud.
Blake, there's a lot of competition
among the coaches this season.
At this point, how do you think your
team stakes up against team Christina?
It's going to be tough, I'm serious.
We were talking earlier
about people on her team.
It's not going to be easy.
America is going to know what it
was like for us going through
those battle rounds.
It's hard to make a decision.
It really is, man.
Next Monday, team Adam and team
Cee Lo will take the stage.
But their teams are in the audience.
Give it up for team Adam and Cee Lo.
They can take the night off and observe.
Let's talk a little about their team.
Cee Lo, let's start with you.
What should team Cee Lo, as
they are watching the artists
tonight, what should they be watching for?
I definitely always want
them to be admirers.
Everybody is incomparable
in their own right.
There is no way they can't
become better by watching the
failures and successes of
tonight's performances.
There is a little something
different about you tonight.
What are you doing?
Where are you?
I figured, Adam couldn't do
nothing so I grow mine out.
That actually is my hair.
Let's start with you.
Your team is watching tonight.
What do you want them to look for?
You know, I think that this is
a really good time, first of
all, to just enjoy ourselves
because it's fun.
I think... we're fans.
We love this process taking place.
I think it would be fun to
watch, but also fun for
everybody on my team to study
and see what's going on so we
can kind of work our stuff out
as the process goes through.
This is important and really
cool opportunity for them to see
what they're up against.
I'm excited.
Okay, let's get to it.
First up, from team Blake, it's
the 33-year-old background
singer from New York who is ready to
take center stage... Jermaine Paul!
The blind audition was my
opportunity to step out and be
germane Paul, the solo artist.
I go with Blake on this one.
In the battle rounds, I got
one step closer to my dream.
It's my time, my chance and I'm ready.
This week I'm singing "livin on a prayer."
By bon jovi.
I feel like I am living on a prayer.
Trying to be a solo act.
This is a faith walk for me.
♪ We're half a way there ♪
Jermaine is one
of the most passionate singers.
This is your song.
You're living in that moment.
He's making ends meet.
He's got four kids.
Jermaine deserves this opportunity.
When it gets to that
last chorus, unleash it.
I've been supporting my family the
past ten years in the background.
This is not just some
competition, it's real.
Carson ladies and gentlemen,
please welcome Jermaine Paul!

Give it up for Jermaine Paul, everybody!
Jermaine, great job.
For ten years, you've been back
there, backing up Alicia Keyes.
What did it feel like to be up here?
It felt surreal.
It felt fast.
It went pretty fast, but I enjoyed it.
It was a definite moment in my life.
Christina what did you
think of Jermaine Paul?
You're right.
When you're up there, it
goes really, really fast.
I was impressed with the fact
within that time frame you were
able to swoop across the stage.
You started up there, went down
there, you really worked the stage.
I didn't see the connection
with the song words at all.
How does this fit Jermaine whatsoever?
But I have to say you milked
every single opportunity of that
song that you could make it your own with.
That was impressive.
You made it soulful.
The things I could have done with you.
I'm not sure.
I don't get the song, but
amazing job on your part.
Jermaine, let's hear what
your coach thinks... Blake?
I'm glad you said it goes so fast.
This is something people need to tell you.
I want you to enjoy this,
as fast as it's going by.
You're experiencing your dreams
coming true right now on this show.
It's happening.
You're making a connection.
People love you.
I don't care what Christina says.
I'm going to check iTunes
without an hour and seeing
"living like a prayer" on top of iTunes.
You're on.
I think girls tend to like
you singing that song a lot.

We'll be right back.
"Voice"... the live shows!
We've seen one artist from team1
Blake, now, it's time to hear
milian at the center of all things online.
What's the latest?
Thanks, Carson.
I'm hanging with the artists as
they are chatting with their
fans on Twitter and Facebook.
We have Jermaine.
Great performance.
Thank you.
You said it.
You supported your family, your
wife, four kids, your music career.
What does this competition
mean to you and your family?
For so long I've been wanting
to put my own music out.
I have a song catalog throughout
the years I've been building.
I want the opportunity to put it
out and continue supporting my
family doing what I love.
Before I let you go, who are you
excited to see perform tonight?
The rest movie team.
They're amazing.
Everyone else, for that matter.
Team Christina, they're really good.

Now it's time for team
Christina's first artist.
He's the 29-year-old opera singer
from Kansas looking to go mainstream.
I came into the blind
auditions for my mom who was
diagnosed with cancer last year.
I tried to shrink my voice down to fit.
Christina is a very emotional singer.
She brought that out in me.
Winning this battle meant a lot to my mom.
Christina and I have been
e-mailing and calling each other
to throw around song ideas.
Chris has this magical voice and
that's why it shows "bridge"
over troubled water."
♪ In if you need a friend ♪
I wanted to him to
connect every emotion the song has to
offer.
All that emotion where this song stems
from will come off strong for you.
You shouldn't be afraid to throw
in a couple of trills to make it
more contemporary.
I love the climactic moments.
It's about being there
for the ones you love.
Hoping other people have the
same feeling about something in
their own life when they hear me sing it.
Singing "bridge over
troubled water," Chris mann!

That was amazing.
We saw your mom in the audience tonight.
I see my mom right there.
Hi, mom, hi, dad, I love you.
I'm glad everything's okay.
My girlfriend is here, my
parents are here, my sister's
here, my cousins are here.
Kansas is hope watching basketball, but
I hope they're watching me instead.
Chris, let's hear what your coach
thinks, Cee Lo, let's start with you.
Chris.
That was a wonderful performance, man.
I can't... thank you.
Thank you.
I came here to be completely
critical about everyone tonight.
Especially the ones not on my team.
There is nothing wrong I can say about you.
I really, really enjoyed that.
Thank you, Cee Lo.
Adam?
I'm sorry.
I'm still not totally
used to this over here.
It's like a character, too.
I know he meant it, even
though he's wearing that.
I love you, baby.
That was great, man.
I love the fact also you talked about
singing opera and the way you do.
You used a song unpredictable for you.
It wasn't a typical opera tune.
I love the fact you subverted what you
do with one of my favorite songs.
I was skeptical when I
heard that was the choice.
I'm really happy.
Amazing, man.
Good job.
Let's go right to your coach.
Christina Aguilera, what did
you think about Chris mann?
Chris, it was so beautiful,
just so, so beautiful and so
heartfelt, which we talked about.
Really digging dig with those lyrics.
The song's been done so many times.
What I loved about it, you truly owned it.
You made it your own.
You used the ad libs and
trills we talked about.
That made it unique and special.
Thank you for making me a proud coach.
Thank you.

Coming up, more artists the fight
to stay in this competition.
When we come back, team Blake's
country hopeful Raelynn.
Welcome back to "The Voice" the live show.
Team Mike and team Christina
are in the hot seat tonight,
fighting for your votes.
Up next from team Blake it's the
youngest artist in this competition.
I'm a hometown girl from the country.
I love to sing.
It's my passion and my dream.
I did say from the
beginning I wanted Blake.
To have him turn around for me
was the biggest dream come true.
Hey, girl.
Oh, my God, I love you!
I got to beat Miranda.
Coming from a smalltown in Texas
to these amazing live shows is
such a dream come true.
We are going to punch America
in the face with country.
Raelynn is going to do
"wake-up call" by marine 5.
Raelynn is solid.
It's always been a song that
could be a country song.
You're cheating on me, I'm
going to sh**t you now.
Make sure you've got the
timing exactly right.
It is a risk turning a famous
pop song turning it into
country, but I think America
is going to like that.
I'm so excited.
Singing "wake-up call," put your
hands together for Raelynn!

Raelynn, come here.
You came out here in the blind
auditions and sang Blake Shelton
wife's Miranda's song.
Now you did Adam's.
You're a brave girl.
You like that guy?
Yeah.
I want to give him a hug.
So beautiful.
Sorry.
Great job with that.
We'll get Adam's opinion
on that maroon 5 opinion.
You're a sassy little thing.
Really cute up there.
Thank you.
I have to say, I was impressed.
You had definite stage presence.
You're young.
Are you allowed to grind your
hips at that age like that?
I was like, oh, hey, okay.
I liked it though.
Thank you.
Hey, you know.
Make some weird man-on-man
love thing with the maroon 5.
Again with the maroon 5.
Wow.
Thank you, Christina.
Let's go to Adam.
What did you think?
Raelynn, you broke my heart twice.
You broke my heart when you didn't pick me.
Then you broke my heart again
today when you did our song and
you did it so darn good.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Thank you, Adam.
Let's hear from your coach Blake Shelton.
Two things.
First of all, you're representing the new
generation of country music so well.
I mean you are.
You really are.
This is the new sound of country music.
To take a song like that
and make it country.
It's actually something Adam and I
talked about a few months back.
Raelynn is so good at that.
We did.
I want to tell you a side note,
I just left the academy of
country music awards last night
and you're what everybody talks
to me about already.
That excites me so much to know
Nashville is already behind you.
Man, it's awesome.
There you go.
Nice words from your coach Raelynn.

"The Voice" the live show. Bienvenid
tonight, you can vote to keep
three artists from team Blake
and three artists from team
Christina in this competition.
Right now, Christina's team is
on deck with 24-year-old hip-hop
artist from Maryland, Moses stone.
Kept me out of the street
life, drug and violence.
It was my vision and passion.
In the blind auditions
I came on as a rapper.
Christina turned around,
it was mind-blowing.
You were something fresh and different.
Thank you.
I loved it.
In the battle rounds, Christina pushed me.
Try to match me.
♪ Hey, hey, hey ♪
You've got the voice.
Now I have what it takes to win this.
You could be my black Kate moss tonight.
This time I'm singing "stronger and power."
The song allows him to put
his own style on this.
Then it's like break,
let's get lost tonight.
I proved myself with the battle
rounds as far as singing, I'm
going to let everyone
know everything I can do.
This is a vocal competition.
You are a specific kind of vocalist.
Get on that stage and k*ll it with a
performance the way the others can't.
I want to show everybody I can
incorporate everything from
dancing to rapping and singing.
I love that.

We'll get to Christina.
She's chomping at the bit.
In a second, first Cee Lo.
What can I say, man?
The kanye west melody, it
was a nice choice, man.
A nice touch.
Again, I repeat myself by saying
I really appreciate your stage
presence and I think you're
a natural on stage, man.
I really like your style.
Thank you.
Great job tonight.
Great job tonight.
Adam Levine, you're up.
There is no doubt you know
how to entertain people.
Everybody here is entertained.
I think it's funny, and I'm
going to be totally honest with
you because that's what you
deserve is total honesty.
Who am I?
I thought when I heard you do
"satisfaction," the first time I
heard you sing, really sing, I thought
man, this dude can really sing.
Personally, I think you actually
have a lot more potential as a
singer than a rapper.
That's what I would say to you.
I think you have a lot of greatness.
Your voice is amazing.
I want you to sing a little bit.
That's what I was feeling.
I don't know anything.
Blake, what do you know?
Blake, what do you know?
I agree as far as, you know, I
can hear she's already making
a difference for you, Moses.
I can already hear an
improvement in your vocals.
That's still to me, I'm going to
be the one guy, to me singing is
what this show is about.
I don't know as much about
the rapping part of it.
I do know you already sound like a better
singer to me this far in the show.
Coach Christina?
Oh, man, Moses, you make me so excited.
I love watching you up there.
I do, I really, really do.
You know, I think the great
thing about you and the type of
vocalist you are, which can go
over certain people's heads, is
the fact that for your type of
genre and the specific vocalist
you are, the people on the radio and
doing it, they're all auto-tunes.
No, no, no, they're auto-tunes.
That was no auto-tune.
I heard you singing it, you know?
I heard you.
You started out singing.
You closed it singing.
You're just an all-in-one.
You do it all.
You come in with the arrangement.
You come in with choreography ideas.
You're incorporating your vocals and
you hit it as an emcee which I love.
I love the way you rap.
I disagree with Adam.
I think there is a place
with everything with you.
There you go.
If you want to save Moses,
vote calling toll-free...
one more time, give it up for Moses stone!
There he goes.
When we come back, team Blake brings
a unique sound to this stage.
Welcome back to "The Voice" the live show.
In the audience tonight, Betty white,
star of "off their rockers" on nbc.
This is awesome!
Hey, Betty, how are you?
Are you here to promote your show?
No, no, no.
I'm here to look at Blake Shelton.
Anybody who doesn't think he's
handsome is off their rockers
premiering Wednesday at 00 central nbc.
That's right.
Needless to say, we'll all be watching.
Betty White, everybody.
Blake, looks like you've got a new fan.
Tonight is a big night not just for
team Blake and team Christina.
If you want to save
somebody, you have to vote.
All right, let's get to team Blake now.
The 21-year-old L.A.
Street performer, here is more on Naia Kete.
Blake turned around quickly.
I fell in love with your voice.
My nerves got the best of me.
I'm surprised Naia was
as nervous as she was.
I'm going to have to go with Naia.
The live show is when I can prove to
Blake I can do well under pressure.
This week I'm performing
"turning tables" by Adele.
My step father is from Senegal.
He is like a reggae man.
It's rooted in who I am as an artist.
My favorite part is the first half.
I love Naia so much.
She is the most unique vocal sound.
Maybe it's better to perform as
close to the record as we can
and still put Naia's thumb print on it.
I want to stay true to who I was.
What could hold me back is the decision
being not to do the song reggae.
I hope Blake's intuition is right.
Singing "turning tables,"

Christina, let's start with you.
It was cool.
I actually would have liked a
more reggae choice, if that was
really your change.
I'm here to be honest.
There were some moments in there that
weren't great, but you know... Cee Lo?
Let's go to Blake.
You're the coach.
You didn't want to do the reggae thing.
You wanted her to stay closer
to the Adele record side.
One thing important for Naia
to prove she was more than
reggae and she can do other things.
I think she did that.
I thought it was beautiful.
I thought your tender moments...
your tender moments are so special.
That's why this room was just...
I mean, we were just sucked into
what you're doing there.
It's amazing.
I commend you.
I thought it was awesome.
There you go.

Naia Kete, everybody.
Up next from team Christina, Lindsey Pavao.
Welcome back
to "The Voice," the live shows!
Tonight is a big night!
Six artists from team Blake and
six artists from team Christina
are performing for your votes.
Remember, you can save three
artists on each team.
Voting opens at the end of the show.
Next, it's team Christina with
a 22-year-old artist from
California who's gone from coffee shops
to the big stage... Lindsey Pavao!
Taking songs and interpreting
them is a big thing I do.
Have you performed in front
of a lot of people before?
Maybe 40.
Before I came on "The Voice
," I was a bartender.
What I really want to do is sing.
During the blind auditions, the chairs
started turning around it was unreal.
It was such a creative choice.
It's probably the coolest thing that
happened on the second season so far.
I'm going to go with Christina.
Lindsey has such a special voice.
I love it because there are so
many different textures to it.
I'm very, very excited to showcase
the next level of Lindsey.
This week I'll be performing
"somebody I used to know."
We want to make it a hip-hop
beat and make it step sounding.
I'm just so happy she's on my team.
Hot dog, yes!
She inspires me in a creative way, as well.
You have more of an airy,
breathy tone than I do.
I love that with your voice.
You have all the room in the world
to be subdued in the verses.
When that chorus comes on,
match the energy in the band.
There is a lot of pressure
reaching to the audience and
giving them something they can relate to.
I love it.
This is just the beginning
of what I want to share.
Singing "somebody I used to know
," please welcome Lindsey Pavao!

Lindsey Pavao!
Nice job, Lindsey.
Thank you.
Let's start with Adam.
Hello.
Oh, man, those dudes in the clown
suits freaked me out a little bit.
That was so great.
That's one of my favorite songs
over the past two years.
I love that song.
The only thing I could think of,
clearly you have an amazing vibe
and everything.
Only thing I was missing was
that kind of power that I feel
when I hear that chorus.
I wanted to hear that more.
Toward the end it got better.
I wanted to hear more strength
when that blasted in.
I love that part.
That it's only part I
didn't think was amazing.
Christina Aguilera, what did you think?
I love that head toss.
Lindsey, honestly, you sent
me a clip of this song.
You kind of came up with the
arrangement which is so unique.
That's what I love but an artist and
connected day one at the blind auditions.
What I love is that, you know,
you bring your own unique style.
Whenever I heard little snippets
of what you were doing with it,
honestly, I was like, where can
I buy her album right now?
I could listen to you all day.
You guys nee go to itu right now.
Honestly, like she is... it's
really amazing what you can do
on a record with no visuals, whatever.
You stand alone in a category all your own.
You all right?
Thank you, yeah.
If you want to save Lindsey vote...
let's hear it for Lindsey Pavao!
You've already seen six artist
the perform for your votes.
Up next, another member of team Blake.
from Minnesota, Jordis Unga.
When I first started playing
I was in a punk rock band.
Then I was in a pop band.
For blind auditions, I wanted
to get back into what made me
audition in the first place.
When I saw three chairs turn around,
it was a validating moment.
Your voice makes me want to push my bells.
I don't think either did the best they
could do, but the winner is Jordis.
I have a lot to prove after battle.
This week I'm performing "alone"
by heart.
This is one of my all-time
favorites, by the way.
I was thinking about exaggerating
the dynamics a little bit.
It doesn't need it.
What do you mean, tell us?
I see fireworks.
What do you think of that?
Let's hear it.
Jordis turns into a diva.
There is always something in the
back of her head that is a panic.
I want to take her and go, do
you realize how good you are?
Wait a minute.
It's good!
I think this performance
will be total redemption.
Exactly the kind of song I
needed to stand on the stage and
be the person I know I am.

Redemption.
I enjoyed the staging.
I thought it was a great performance.
Those high notes were really,
you know, signified your
strength and your vocal talent.
I thought it was overall good.
Thank you.
Thank you, Cee Lo.
Blake Shelton, what did you think?
That is the opposite of playing it safe.
That's what I love about you, Jordis.
You sat over there and you
showed everybody, yeah, yeah, I
can be tender and do that stuff.
Then she took the hardest parts
of that song and performed it.
It's amazing.
It takes so much talent
to do that right there.
She is.
She is samazg.
I'm so glad America has a chance
to find out who you are.
Thank you.
Here we go.
You want to save Jordis, vote...
give it up for Jordis Unga!
Coming up, team Christina's
Sarah hill takes the stage.
Welcome back to "The Voice" the live shows.
Tonight, you can vote to keep 31
three artists from team Blake
and three artists from team
Christina in this competition.
Singing is what I was born to do.
I wasn't born to work in a hotel.
During the blind auditions,
my A idol sung with me.
That's one of the most
exciting moments of my life.
Christina said I need to bring out
my diva card to win the battle.
I definitely brought it.
I've got to go with Sera.
It's my time to shine.
This is a really fun song
because I haven't heard it done
in the way we are about to do it.
This week I'm singing
"find yo lov by Drake."
Sera is a natural performer.
I want her to connect with the lyrics.
I want you to sing it hard.
I think it's less pretty
and more Mary j. Blige.
You do remind me of that.
That's how I connected to
you in the blind auditions.
I have to attack those runs.
This is the opportunity
I've been waiting for.
It only comes around once in
a lifetime, so this is it.

Sera Hill, everybody!
Thank you, Carson.
You were great.
All right.
Great job, Sera.
Thank you.
Let's start with Blake.
How did you get from being shirtless up
here to being back down there so fast?
I don't know.
I was actually waiting for
Christina to start stuffing ones
in those guys pants.
I know that was your idea.
You know you liked it.
I've got to admit I did.
Anything else on that or
are you stuck on the guys?
We talked about shirtless guys.
It's hard to get past the male
strippers that were on stage.
That was a great song.
She did great.
There were male strippers on
the stage, for God's sake.
What am I going to say.
There was male strippers on the stage.
We get it.
Let's go to your coach.
Christina, what did you think?
You look gorgeous, by the way.
You look absolutely stunning.
Thank you.
You look like a diva in training.
You look amazing.
I love it.
I love the look.
You sounded phenomenal.
It's interesting at this stage
in the game you have to really
bring it now as a performer.
You looked like you owned it up there.
You definitely had a presence about you.
Thank you.
I loved how you stepped it up
to the plate as far as just
working with the dancers.
Sometimes that can throw
you off as a performer.
That's what's great about the live rounds
and having the production around you.
Really good to see how you
do under that pressure.
Great job.
Thank you.
Thank you, Christina.
If you want to save Sera, vote...
give it up one more time
for Sera hill, everybody.
Coming up from team Blake,
it's Erin Willis.
Welcome back to "The
Voice"... the live shows!
Now from team Blake, it's the
my father was diagnosed with cancer.
"The voice" gave my dad a
chance to see me live my dream.
You're on my team whether
you like it or not.
Love you, sweetie.
During the battle rounds,
my father passed away.
Before he did, we spoke about how he would
always want me to pursue my dreams.
The winner of this battle is Erin.
This is for my dad.
I want to make him proud.
I want to show my talent and I want it
to be just like a grammy performance.
I am singing Stevie wonder's
"living for the city."
When my father passed away, it really
gave me this fire to do everything 110%.
Do you like that?
That definitely gives you
freedom to do all those runs.
What if this is my last performance?
It's ridiculously good.
Erin overthinks things.
I'm trying to tell her, you're that good.
I want her to start believing me.
Listen to my records and tell me
what you think I should be doing.
I don't have my father
to tell me to do this.
I want to have fun and bring
back the Erin Willett that I
want to be in this competition.

Let's start with Cee Lo.
What did you think of Erin Willett?
No, seriously, under the
circumstances that you're
performing under to be as strong
and confident as proud as you
are, it's really to be commended.
You're just a champion and we celebrate.
We celebrate.
Thank you, guys.
Thank you.
And above and beyond that, on a
brighter note, it was a great song.
So much soul, so much charisma.
Great staging.
I enjoyed it.
Thank you.
Let's go to your coach Blake Shelton.
I don't care what anyone says.
That was the best technically and
passionately, the best vocal
performance of the night so far.
Hands down.
I don't care what anyone
says, her team, my team.
That's a fact.
That is fact.
That is fact, congratulations.
If you want to save Erin, then vote...
give it up for Erin!
When we come back, more artists perform.
Team Christina's Ashley de LA rosa!
Welcome back to "the
voice"... the live shows!
Up next, it's another artist
from team Christina, the Orlando
High School student and pop
rocker hoping to have her
breakout moment on this stage
tonight, Ashley de LA rosa.
I have passions in night,
music and cheering.
I was born in third world
country and it feels good that
she wants to give back.
Thanks, dad.
For the blind auditions, I was
surprised to see Christina turn
around so quickly.
In order to win this battle, Christina
told me to be more confident on stage.
I've seen you grow so much.
She's 17.
I can definitely relate to having the
balance a career at a young age.
This week I'm singing "right through you."
This is right up my alley.
Your heart lies in rock.
I'm dying to hear your voice on this.
♪ Wait a minute man ♪
This song is perfect
because she is able to have her own
voice and tell us what she's about.
Right now, like, you know,
everyone sees the surface of you.
Nobody knows what's behind the surface.
This is your moment to get a
little angsty with it and have a
little... grr, you know?
This is my moment.
I'm going to show everybody who I am.

Let's start with Adam Levine.
Man, how old are you?
That's what I thought.
You know, it's crazy.
It's by far, by far of anyone I've
seen the biggest surprise tonight.
You're the most improved I've seen by far.
I think you can see the
performances and tonight, we saw a woman.
It was almost like you came out
tonight and were like damn.
My opinion has changed so drastically
just from this performance.
You're incredible.
You really did everything perfectly.
Thank you.
Let's see what your coach
thinks, Christina.
Thanks, Adam.
He couldn't be more right on about you.
You're only 17.
This is like vma type staging and
lighting and the screens and
all that you're allowed.
You had lasers going on.
Who gets that at 17 without a record deal?
It's crazy.
You really brought it up there.
I'm so happy you got to shine on
a song you whole-heartedly love.
You said, I'm a pop rocker.
I want to incorporate both things.
You rocked it out tonight.
You were phenomenal.
We just got along.
For once in our life.
Yes!
It doesn't happen often.
It's a miracle.
You pulled off a miracle, Ashley.
If you want to save Ashley, be
vote... one more time, give it up
for Ashley De LA Rosa... great job!
Still coming up, live performances by
team Blake, Charlotte sometimes and Jesse
Campbell.
If you want in, tweet us
at hash tag the voice.
Jordis, I notice you got a bit
emotional at the end of your
performance tonight.
What was that about?
I think seeing my dad.
My mom wishes she could be here tonight.
I could feel how proud my
family is by looking at them.
It's emotional because I've
been doing this so long.
That note you hit at the end,
where did it come from?
Here.
No.
I love that song.
For a long time I was doing
this alone, you know?
I really connected with the song.
It came from where those things come
from when people sing like that.
I don't know.
That's what it's all about.
Thank you.
Thanks, Christina.
Thanks, Jordis.
Now, from team Blake, it's the
unique singer-songwriter from
new Jersey, 23-year-old
Charlotte sometimes.
When I was 14, I was diagnosed
and there was a chance
I would never get to sing again.
When all four coaches turned around during
my blind audition, what is shocked.
Winner of this battle is Charlotte.
Even going to the live rounds
is an example that you can
totally beat the odds
and overcome anything.
Charlotte's going to be performing a song
by paramour called "misery business."
I watched him wildest dreams come true.
I would keep the energy all
the way up through that.
I think Charlotte has a
shot at winning this thing.
What a singer.
She uses her voice as an instrument.
I want to make it a little
more haunting because the song
is so sassy, and I think we've
had enough sass coming from me.
The reason I'm softening the song up is
because that's the kind of artist I am.
You're full of crap.
There is always a risk when you
rearrange the song but I'm
going to put everything on the line.
I love you, Charlotte.
I want to show America I can arrange
songs and I'm not just a singer.
If not, then retiring?
Please welcome Charlotte sometimes.

Charlotte Sometimes,
everybody!
All right, coaches.
Let's start with Mr. Adam
Levine, what did you think?
That was great.
You have such a unique voice.
I think the hardest thing for
everyone to have is a unique voice.
Whether you're perfect or have
your flaws, if it's not unique
it's not worth it.
That's what's great about you.
That being said I thought there was some
flatness, there was some pitch stuff.
That's hypercritical and
nothing you have to listen to.
I thought it was great.
I thought that was the one issue I heard.
Christina.
I actually have to disagree for a second.
I know it didn't last long.
I think as Adam was really
surprised at Ashley and what she
could do and the depth of her range,
I was surprised in this performance.
I wasn't expecting that.
It was dramatic and quiet
where it needed to be quiet.
It was big where it needed to be big.
You're good at extending those long,
high notes and it takes power.
You're subtle at the right spots.
Very nice.
I liked it.
Let's hear with your coach thinks.
This was such a great idea.
This was Charlotte's idea
for this arrangement.
That's one of the cool things.
I'm glad that made it into
the package that aired.
She is a true artist.
True artists have vision.
What they want to do musically.
By the way, I mean, I didn't hear,
I didn't hear the pitch problems.
I was listening hard for that stuff, too.
I just didn't hear any of that.
I thought it was dead on.
I did.
That's two against one.
Christina and I are exactly right.
I like it.
I'm shaking up here.
If you want to save Charlotte, then vote.
You can call...
one more time, Charlotte Sometimes!
All right, after the break, our
last performance of the night.
It's team Christina's Jesse Campbell.
Welcome back to "The
Voice"... the live shows!
Ladies and gentlemen, please
give it up for our musical
director, Paul mirkovich and
our incredible voice band!
These guys are awesome.
and now it's the final artist
from team Christina.
The passionate 42-year-old singer
from Chicago, Jesse Campbell.
When my wife left my daughter and me, we
ended up homeless sleeping in my car.
The blind audition was a fresh start.
You said you would fight for me.
Come here, fighter.
Winner is Jesse.
Now I'm just ready to live this dream.
Hey, hey.
Jesse, hi.
Yes, sir Campbell can sing the phone book.
He's just the type of singer that
I have full confidence in 2.
So I know this song you really
kind of have a passion for, right?
It's indicative of where
I was and how I feel.
This week I'll be performing "what a
wonderful world" by Louis Armstrong.
I'd like to hear that note
melt a little bit more.
That's like the moment you're waiting for.
What a wonderful world.
Because what you want to do with
this song is really connect
emotionally with the audience.
I feel like you're really holding back.
Holding back?
Oh, my God.
That means I need to bring it even more so.
To me, this is life or death.

Coaches, how do you think
Jesse did tonight?
Let's start with Cee Lo Green.
Jesse.
You know, man, your voice is
almost as beautiful as my hair.
No.
Listen... no, listen, in all seriousness.
I'm biased to my team, but
you are, you are one, dude.
My bad, my bad, I thought you were done.
I'm just saying.
If someone from my team doesn't win,
I'm looking for you to win this show.
I love your voice.
Thank you.
Adam.
So, I was listening to
you sing and so crazy.
What's that?
Your team's up next week.
Be careful now.
Just be careful now.
You done?
I was watching you sing and
thinking to myself, man, this
dude, the show is called
"The Voice," right?
You're the dude to beat.
I would say, if I had to tell
me team something, I would say,
guys, here's the dude you've
got to beat right here.
It's crazy.
Crazy.
Christina Aguilera.
What do you think, here we go.
I'm sorry, Adam.
I thought you were going to be negative.
You know what, all right?
Who just brought it back to negative town.
That was absolutely wonderful.
Fantastic.
You can sing.
I'll say it again the alphabet.
The phone book.
What are you saying now?
We've got to go.
Aren't you glad you have the
only sober coach up here?
It's a fantastic thing.
