When you can combine all of 750 00:54:30,958 --> 00:54:34,657 - that, that's impressive to me. - Thank you, coaches. 751 00:54:34,658 --> 00:54:36,664 Usher, you have the final decision. 752 00:54:36,666 --> 00:54:42,455 I feel like this entire process, I was analytical at 753 00:54:42,490 --> 00:54:46,384 times and maybe tended to stretch you far past just your 754 00:54:46,419 --> 00:54:48,751 voice. It was more or less about your 755 00:54:48,786 --> 00:54:51,831 presence, being able to come out here and captivate your audience 756 00:54:51,866 --> 00:54:54,948 with your energy. By focusing on that, it takes 757 00:54:55,051 --> 00:54:59,232 your mind off the intricacies of each and every note to make sure 758 00:55:01,091 --> 00:55:01,508 every note is perfect, and I doesn't have to be. 759 00:55:03,693 --> 00:55:08,362 I can say you both came out here and 100% lit it on fire the way 760 00:55:08,397 --> 00:55:10,971 I know you can.

Blake, what did you see in 776 00:56:16,644 --> 00:56:18,368 Taylor that made you want to steal her up? 777 00:56:18,499 --> 00:56:21,378 I went towards Jess knowing he was going to take who I pick 778 00:56:23,506 --> 00:56:24,549 knowing I was going to get her. Strategy. 779 00:56:26,076 --> 00:56:26,414 That's how much he puts into my opinion. 780 00:56:29,307 --> 00:56:32,048 Taylor Beckham now on team Shelton. 781 00:56:32,083 --> 00:56:34,849 - Congratulations. - Thank you. 782 00:56:34,850 --> 00:56:36,931 I'm sad that Usher didn't pick me, but... 783 00:56:36,932 --> 00:56:38,319 - Thank you. - Congratulations. 784 00:56:38,321 --> 00:56:40,855 Blake saved my life. I'm just so happy and excited to 785 00:56:40,857 --> 00:56:43,958 - be here. - Taylor Beckham makes it to 786 00:56:43,960 --> 00:56:46,427 the knockout round, this time representing team Blake. 787 00:56:46,429 --> 00:56:50,064 I'm going to prove to Blake that it was worth saving me. 788 00:56:52,932 --> 00:56:56,169 I was not about to let Taylor walk out of here. 789 00:56:58,461 --> 00:57:02,454 I already have just a ton of respect for her knowing she was 790 00:57:02,489 --> 00:57:05,413 an olympic hopeful. I want somebody like that on 791 00:57:05,448 --> 00:57:08,099 team Blake and see what they can bring to the boards. 792 00:57:08,134 --> 00:57:10,294 I do need your help on that little Taylor. 793 00:57:10,295 --> 00:57:11,454 She's got something to prove, man. 794 00:57:12,912 --> 00:57:15,033 If I can be of help, I will, buddy. 795 00:57:15,068 --> 00:57:18,607 Still to come, powerful performances. 796 00:57:26,660 --> 00:57:29,943 - And another surprising steal. - We got a steal! 797 00:57:38,065 --> 00:57:41,697 Let's head over to Blake and his team's adviser, nine-time 798 00:57:41,698 --> 00:57:44,128 grammy award winning artist Sheryl Crow. 799 00:57:45,403 --> 00:57:50,230 How this battle pair got here. 21-year-old Christian Porter 800 00:57:50,231 --> 00:57:54,407 from Straussburg, Pennsylvania, versus 24 and 27-year-old duo, 801 00:57:54,408 --> 00:57:57,469 the Swon Brothers from Muskogee, Oklahoma. 802 00:58:01,878 --> 00:58:04,558 I don't want to be stuck in that scene forever. 803 00:58:10,457 --> 00:58:13,750 He gambled with a surprising take on sexy and I know it, 804 00:58:13,760 --> 00:58:17,001 - blowing away three coaches. - It was like Magic Mike up there. 805 00:58:17,497 --> 00:58:19,430 So much imagination went into 806 00:58:19,432 --> 00:58:21,172 that arrangement. My gosh, I'd love to have the 807 00:58:21,173 --> 00:58:25,203 - chance to work with you. - I've got to go with Blake. 808 00:58:25,205 --> 00:58:28,439 After years of performing with their parents' band, the 809 00:58:28,441 --> 00:58:31,109 Swon Brothers came to "The Voice" looking for a record deal. 810 00:58:32,787 --> 00:58:34,163 Their performance of Tom Petty's 811 00:58:34,164 --> 00:58:39,401 "American Girl" also got three coaches to push their buttons. 812 00:58:39,436 --> 00:58:41,452 I'm your guy. I'm your okie. 813 00:58:41,454 --> 00:58:43,428 - Come on. - We're going to have to pick Blake. 814 00:58:43,723 --> 00:58:47,558 - What's going on? - This is Sheryl Crow, everybody. 815 00:58:47,560 --> 00:58:49,928 This is a good surprise. When I saw Sheryl Crow, she's 816 00:58:49,930 --> 00:58:52,730 like an angel. It's just awesome to be in the 817 00:58:52,732 --> 00:58:54,766 same room as people of that caliber. 818 00:58:54,768 --> 00:58:57,702 We were kind of curious like why you put us together like 819 00:58:57,704 --> 00:59:02,140 - this battle. - Just kind of whatever I think 820 00:59:02,142 --> 00:59:05,910 can mesh well musically. The Swon Brothers are just so 821 00:59:05,912 --> 00:59:09,380 funny, and Christian's version of "sexy and I know it," you 822 00:59:09,382 --> 00:59:10,552 know there's a sense of humor down in there somewhere, and I 823 00:59:10,553 --> 00:59:12,591 just think it's a fun paring. 824 00:59:16,024 --> 00:59:18,296 I gave Christian and the Swon Brothers "Won't back down" by 825 00:59:18,486 --> 00:59:20,871 tom petty. It's just one of those songs 826 00:59:20,872 --> 00:59:23,378 that fits well with each of the artists. 827 00:59:27,301 --> 00:59:29,392 We sang another tom petty song in our blind audition. 828 00:59:29,608 --> 00:59:34,150 - So we feel really confident. - I like it when you all sang 829 00:59:34,185 --> 00:59:36,103 the harmony. I thought it sounds great. 830 00:59:36,394 --> 00:59:40,427 The Swon Brothers are very 831 00:59:40,480 --> 00:59:43,146 tight as a duo. Unfortunately, I can't hit this note. 832 00:59:43,181 --> 00:59:45,136 It's so frustrating. 833 00:59:45,719 --> 00:59:47,233 Is it super, super, super uncomfortable? 834 00:59:47,354 --> 00:59:49,410 I'm pushing right now because I'm not used to it. 835 00:59:49,445 --> 00:59:54,158 You got that high note. 836 00:59:54,193 --> 00:59:55,927 You just got to open your mouth and don't be afraid of it. 837 00:59:55,929 --> 00:59:58,964 I'll keep practicing it. When it comes to the rehearsal, 838 00:59:58,966 --> 01:00:01,199 we'll see what happens. Do you think the tone and 839 01:00:01,201 --> 01:00:03,034 everything is fine for the rest of the song? 840 01:00:03,036 --> 01:00:05,331 Dude, you have a great tone. That's why we fought for you. 841 01:00:05,512 --> 01:00:08,095 - That's why you're here. - Is just confidence. 842 01:00:08,130 --> 01:00:10,909 It's just confidence, yeah. For Christian, I think just 843 01:00:10,911 --> 01:00:14,145 believing that he can go out and sing with two guys on stage and 844 01:00:14,147 --> 01:00:17,858 still own it and make it his own is going to be his challenge. 845 01:00:18,151 --> 01:00:20,566 Sometimes there has to be a tiebreaker, you know what I 846 01:00:20,601 --> 01:00:21,720 mean? If you get out there and your 847 01:00:23,957 --> 01:00:25,213 voice cracks on the chorus and theirs didn't, I'm going to go 848 01:00:26,660 --> 01:00:29,714 - it's a no brainer. - I'm going to practice really 849 01:00:29,749 --> 01:00:31,861 hard on this. I have a lot to work on. 850 01:00:32,399 --> 01:00:35,567 As their battle approaches, Christian and the Swon Brothers 851 01:00:35,569 --> 01:00:40,505 meet with Blake to rehearse. 852 01:00:45,450 --> 01:00:48,364 in the band rehearsal, I'm feeling really strong because I 853 01:00:48,417 --> 01:00:50,755 came in showing that I can hit these notes 854 01:00:54,255 --> 01:00:56,133 I gave a few notes to 855 01:00:56,168 --> 01:00:59,577 Christian during our piano rehearsal, and I came out with 856 01:00:59,612 --> 01:01:02,491 the band and nailed it. It says a lot about Christian's 857 01:01:02,526 --> 01:01:05,215 work ethic. Christian, you're singing the 858 01:01:05,250 --> 01:01:07,510 crap out of it. You're hitting some cool stuff 859 01:01:07,545 --> 01:01:09,276 in there, and your pitch is good. 860 01:01:09,311 --> 01:01:11,424 - Awesome. - Yeah, man, awesome. 861 01:01:11,459 --> 01:01:15,456 I didn't know what to expect with his blind audition 862 01:01:15,491 --> 01:01:18,887 performance kind of being a novelty, but the guy can sing. 863 01:01:26,570 --> 01:01:28,035 So we're just doing two 864 01:01:28,070 --> 01:01:29,840 choruses back to back and then the tag line at the end. 865 01:01:29,875 --> 01:01:32,905 Hell, yeah. The Swon Brothers are all over 866 01:01:32,940 --> 01:01:34,437 the map. They're going to have to tighten 867 01:01:34,472 --> 01:01:36,005 it up. Y'all's half of it is a little 868 01:01:36,040 --> 01:01:38,014 sloppier. Have to get it together a little 869 01:01:38,049 --> 01:01:39,539 bit. Sometimes it seems like you're 870 01:01:39,574 --> 01:01:42,125 not sure where your note's going to land. 871 01:01:42,160 --> 01:01:44,609 It seems like at this point Christian is getting a lot of 872 01:01:44,644 --> 01:01:48,471 praise for stuff that he's doing, and us two, we've got to 873 01:01:48,506 --> 01:01:51,786 tighten up, which we will. But it's a little scary. 874 01:01:51,821 --> 01:01:54,853 Just know that this isn't a hobby for you all. 875 01:01:54,888 --> 01:01:58,419 - This is what you do. - No backup plans for us. 876 01:01:58,454 --> 01:02:00,138 - That's right. - Same here. 877 01:02:00,338 --> 01:02:02,535 Swon Brothers don't get serious and make this 878 01:02:02,570 --> 01:02:05,708 performance as tight as they can, I mean, I hate to say it, 879 01:02:05,743 --> 01:02:08,575 but they could go home. Same for Christian being able to 880 01:02:08,610 --> 01:02:10,958 hit the notes. I can only pick one of you. 881 01:02:10,993 --> 01:02:14,015 So make it tough for me to figure this out. 882 01:02:14,869 --> 01:02:18,462 Coming up... 883 01:02:18,497 --> 01:02:21,850 ... Team Blake continues to ignite the stage. 884 01:02:21,885 --> 01:02:25,418 Leaving their coach in a tough spot. 885 01:02:25,542 --> 01:02:29,924 Y'all were both good. So what do I do now? 886 01:02:39,327 --> 01:02:41,799 With their battle just moments away, Christian and the 887 01:02:41,831 --> 01:02:44,340 Swon Brothers are ready to take the stage 888 01:02:44,944 --> 01:02:49,028 our whole life has been a race to this moment. 889 01:02:49,029 --> 01:02:51,449 - We have to win this thing. - I'm going to prove to Blake 890 01:02:51,552 --> 01:02:54,386 that I'm not just a novelty act. I can really sing and be a 891 01:02:54,388 --> 01:02:58,792 - passionate artist. - I don't want to let this guy down. 892 01:02:58,827 --> 01:03:01,999 We worked so hard, and this is it. This is our time. 893 01:03:03,358 --> 01:03:06,730 I need to win this to show people that I can branch out of 894 01:03:06,765 --> 01:03:10,346 the cover band bar scene, and this gives me the opportunity to 895 01:03:10,381 --> 01:03:12,537 be the front guy. I don't think America has seen 896 01:03:12,572 --> 01:03:13,710 my full potential. 897 01:03:14,284 --> 01:03:16,569 Competing in this ring from 898 01:03:16,604 --> 01:03:20,146 team Blake, the bar singer who takes chances with his music, 899 01:03:20,434 --> 01:03:22,075 Christian Porter! 900 01:03:31,362 --> 01:03:34,264 And the energetic country duo, 901 01:03:34,996 --> 01:03:37,542 the Swon Brothers! 902 01:03:51,775 --> 01:03:54,683 Let the battle begin. 903 01:06:11,795 --> 01:06:13,873 There you go, our battle for team Blake. 904 01:06:15,858 --> 01:06:18,180 Usher, let's start with you. What did you think? 905 01:06:18,215 --> 01:06:20,153 Give it up for Christian Porter! 906 01:06:22,795 --> 01:06:25,209 - Thank you so much. - Is you hit that note. 907 01:06:25,244 --> 01:06:27,335 I hit the note. I hit the note. 908 01:06:27,370 --> 01:06:29,134 You made it. Swon Brothers! 909 01:06:29,136 --> 01:06:33,851 - Yeah. - I didn't mean to show any 910 01:06:33,886 --> 01:06:35,801 favoritism. I think you guys both did 911 01:06:35,836 --> 01:06:39,203 really, really great. This performance was definitely 912 01:06:39,238 --> 01:06:42,132 one I think that is going to be very hard for you. 913 01:06:42,167 --> 01:06:44,009 - Thank you. - Thanks, Usher. 914 01:06:44,044 --> 01:06:49,196 - Shakira, what did you think? - I had fun watching you guys, 915 01:06:49,231 --> 01:06:52,729 and the audience did too. The fact that people enjoyed it 916 01:06:52,764 --> 01:06:55,873 so much is valuable. I'm curious about duos. 917 01:06:55,908 --> 01:07:00,124 I like how well they work together and how well they sound 918 01:07:00,159 --> 01:07:01,837 to go. So I would probably pick the 919 01:07:01,872 --> 01:07:04,497 - Swon Brothers. - Thank you very much, Shakira. 920 01:07:04,532 --> 01:07:08,436 - Adam Levine. - Christian, I thought you 921 01:07:08,471 --> 01:07:11,306 really surprised me because it's funny, in rehearsals, you were 922 01:07:11,341 --> 01:07:13,626 struggling with that high note, but you finally did get it out, 923 01:07:13,661 --> 01:07:16,307 which was really cool. Swon Brothers, you were great, 924 01:07:16,342 --> 01:07:20,316 but I think that just because Christian has some sort of 925 01:07:20,351 --> 01:07:24,113 strange delivery that is drawing me towards him, I would probably 926 01:07:24,148 --> 01:07:25,570 go with Chriristian. But you guys were all really 927 01:07:25,605 --> 01:07:27,981 - talented. - Adam Levine, thank you so much. 928 01:07:28,016 --> 01:07:30,519 Coach Blake Shelton, the final 929 01:07:30,554 --> 01:07:33,404 decision is, of course, yours. How did you think the battle 930 01:07:33,439 --> 01:07:36,181 - went? - Christian, I heard several 931 01:07:36,216 --> 01:07:40,120 different artists in your vocal, which is really cool, and you 932 01:07:40,155 --> 01:07:43,200 did hit the note. There were other parts of it 933 01:07:43,235 --> 01:07:45,541 that were... that landed weird and were pitchy, but in the 934 01:07:45,576 --> 01:07:47,416 grand scheme of things, it's not that big of a deal. 935 01:07:47,451 --> 01:07:51,016 Swon Brothers, man, you guys came on the radio, I would I 936 01:07:51,018 --> 01:07:54,934 instantly know it's the Swon Brothers singing. 937 01:07:54,969 --> 01:07:56,832 You have a very distinctive sound. 938 01:07:56,867 --> 01:08:01,151 You all were both good. I don't know that either one of 939 01:08:01,186 --> 01:08:04,837 you all actually took it away from each other, which sucks for 940 01:08:04,872 --> 01:08:06,643 me. It's always easier if somebody 941 01:08:06,678 --> 01:08:10,186 craps the bed, and then you can kind of go... 942 01:08:10,221 --> 01:08:11,831 Blake knows a lot about crapping the bed. 943 01:08:11,866 --> 01:08:15,171 - He's like an authority on that. - Absolutely. 944 01:08:15,206 --> 01:08:17,983 - So what do I do now? - You've got to make a 945 01:08:18,018 --> 01:08:21,085 decision, and it's a tough one. Blake, who is the winner of this battle? 946 01:08:33,964 --> 01:08:35,766 The winner of this battle is... 947 01:08:46,839 --> 01:08:49,989 Before the break, Christian Porter battled the Swon Brothers 948 01:08:50,057 --> 01:08:55,818 with a classic rock song. And now Blake has the difficult 949 01:08:55,853 --> 01:08:58,801 decision of who will remain on his team. 950 01:09:00,668 --> 01:09:04,722 I think it's better for me and whoever I'm working with to 951 01:09:04,764 --> 01:09:06,406 kind of stick with what I know. 952 01:09:09,962 --> 01:09:13,118 And because of that, 953 01:09:21,165 --> 01:09:23,221 the winner of this battle is the Swon Brothers. 954 01:09:23,223 --> 01:09:28,586 The Swon Brothers, winners of the battle of team Blake. 955 01:09:28,621 --> 01:09:33,303 - Congratulations, guys. - Oh, my gosh, this is the best 956 01:09:33,338 --> 01:09:37,203 - feeling in the entire world. - Swon Brothers move on to the 957 01:09:37,238 --> 01:09:39,784 - knockout round. - Congratulations, man. 958 01:09:39,819 --> 01:09:42,742 - Thank you. - We're thrilled to be on Blake 959 01:09:42,777 --> 01:09:44,932 Shelton's team. We're taking it one song at a time. 960 01:09:44,967 --> 01:09:47,140 Keeps getting better on this show. 961 01:09:47,581 --> 01:09:50,715 I love you all. 962 01:09:53,123 --> 01:09:56,196 Coaches, let me remind you that Christian is available to 963 01:09:56,231 --> 01:09:59,457 steal. What would you like to say to 964 01:09:59,492 --> 01:10:03,215 - coach Blake Shelton? - Oh, my God, thank you so much 965 01:10:03,250 --> 01:10:05,734 for this opportunity. I definitely learned so much 966 01:10:05,769 --> 01:10:08,127 with the short time that we had together. 967 01:10:08,162 --> 01:10:10,376 I know that I won't be background music forever thanks 968 01:10:10,411 --> 01:10:12,308 to you. Thank you. 969 01:10:12,343 --> 01:10:14,904 And thank you. Christian Porter, everybody. 970 01:10:14,939 --> 01:10:17,637 Thank you so much. Nice having you on. 971 01:10:17,672 --> 01:10:21,648 - Best of luck to you. - Definitely wanted to win. 972 01:10:21,683 --> 01:10:22,994 I definitely wanted to get stolen. 973 01:10:24,249 --> 01:10:26,495 I had the time of my life on that stage. 974 01:10:26,530 --> 01:10:29,953 I got one steal left. So I'm going to be very picky 975 01:10:29,988 --> 01:10:32,445 from now on, and I'm going to get someone who I really, really 976 01:10:32,480 --> 01:10:34,256 - want. - Thank you so much, man. 977 01:10:34,291 --> 01:10:35,688 I'm not going to let you down, man. 978 01:10:35,723 --> 01:10:38,711 That was a tough one for me, but I just felt like the Swon Brothers 979 01:10:38,746 --> 01:10:40,900 know who they are. They're okies. 980 01:10:40,901 --> 01:10:43,869 I'm an okie. This the first duo to make it 981 01:10:43,871 --> 01:10:46,004 this far in a long time on this show. 982 01:10:46,006 --> 01:10:48,773 Is we cannot say thank you enough, Blake. 983 01:10:48,775 --> 01:10:50,141 You can try. Go ahead. 984 01:10:50,143 --> 01:10:52,544 I just have a bond with them. I'm not going to lie. 985 01:10:52,546 --> 01:10:55,780 While Blake celebrates with the Swon Brothers, let's take a 986 01:10:55,782 --> 01:10:59,251 look at Adam's final battle paring of the night. 987 01:10:59,253 --> 01:11:03,621 28-year-old Judith hill from Pasadena, California, versus 988 01:11:03,656 --> 01:11:07,315 35-year-old Karina Iglesias from Miami, Florida. 989 01:11:08,900 --> 01:11:11,858 Judith landed her dream job of being Michael Jackson's duet 990 01:11:11,893 --> 01:11:16,220 partner. After his untimely death, she stepped out on her own. 991 01:11:21,899 --> 01:11:24,837 - Turning four chairs. - I'm going to light myself on 992 01:11:24,872 --> 01:11:26,975 fire to make sure that you are on my team. 993 01:11:27,010 --> 01:11:27,723 - Wait a minute, you will? - I'm not kidding. 994 01:11:27,758 --> 01:11:29,029 I'm going to go with team Adam. 995 01:11:33,321 --> 01:11:35,332 Karina came to "The Voice" hoping to show her music 996 01:11:35,367 --> 01:11:38,086 students it's never too late to follow your dream. 997 01:11:41,919 --> 01:11:45,775 She earned that chance by getting two last second button pushes. 998 01:11:47,862 --> 01:11:50,585 I felt towards the end that the light fixtures were just 999 01:11:50,620 --> 01:11:52,641 going to explode. No, but for real. 1000 01:11:52,706 --> 01:11:55,582 Don't you pull out your Spanish right now. 1001 01:11:55,617 --> 01:11:58,443 And the sparks fell on team Adam. 1002 01:11:59,873 --> 01:12:05,856 So it's a man's, man's, man's world. Clearly, you're here to prove us wrong. 1003 01:12:07,163 --> 01:12:10,207 I am a huge James Brown fan. 1004 01:12:10,242 --> 01:12:13,710 I love singing soul music. So I'm really, really happy with 1005 01:12:13,745 --> 01:12:16,030 - the song. - You're both mega singers. 1006 01:12:16,065 --> 01:12:18,751 You both have power and totally different kind of power, by the 1007 01:12:18,786 --> 01:12:22,122 - way, for a battle. - This is a hard song to sing. 1008 01:12:22,157 --> 01:12:24,135 This is a hard one. I paired Judith and Karina 1009 01:12:24,137 --> 01:12:27,141 together, a great idea and a terrible idea because they're 1010 01:12:27,142 --> 01:12:29,291 both so good. This song is about putting 1011 01:12:30,711 --> 01:12:31,624 yourself in these very big legendary shoes. 1012 01:12:31,912 --> 01:12:35,248 Judith has the ability to be technically perfect and also 1013 01:12:35,249 --> 01:12:37,433 soulful. Karina, I felt that she was 1014 01:12:37,485 --> 01:12:39,626 going to blow the doors off, a big freight train of people. 1015 01:12:40,022 --> 01:12:42,399 I'm giving them big shoes to fill, but I'm doing it because I 1016 01:12:42,525 --> 01:12:47,520 believe in their talent. 1017 01:12:48,229 --> 01:12:51,129 This song is particularly difficult for my voice. 1018 01:12:51,130 --> 01:12:53,487 There's no harmony or melody to latch onto. 1019 01:12:53,767 --> 01:12:56,435 Vocally, I've got to dig in and give the grit. 1020 01:12:56,437 --> 01:13:01,707 I've got my work cut out for me. 1021 01:13:06,525 --> 01:13:10,032 Judith, I like the dynamic. Make sure your big moments are 1022 01:13:10,067 --> 01:13:13,266 still really big. I know that you're holding back 1023 01:13:13,301 --> 01:13:14,634 a little bit. I can tell. 1024 01:13:14,669 --> 01:13:16,132 - Yes. - Is she a bad ass? 1025 01:13:16,167 --> 01:13:18,806 - Yes. - Karina is an amazing voice, 1026 01:13:18,949 --> 01:13:22,398 and she's a very, very powerful singer, so I've got to challenge 1027 01:13:22,644 --> 01:13:25,459 myself to come up to that level and push harder. 1028 01:13:25,466 --> 01:13:28,032 Karina, you have a tendency to project very loudly. 1029 01:13:28,202 --> 01:13:32,958 I would say give us a little more subtlety and nuance so we 1030 01:13:33,007 --> 01:13:34,702 can feel the low lows and the ohios. 1031 01:13:34,703 --> 01:13:37,431 The thing I love about this song is it was originally 1032 01:13:37,432 --> 01:13:40,153 recorded about I a guy, but honestly it's more powerful 1033 01:13:40,423 --> 01:13:45,160 coming from a woman because you wouldn't be nothing without me. 1034 01:13:45,519 --> 01:13:49,421 I think honestly, as a country artist, it's the one I 1035 01:13:49,423 --> 01:13:52,757 was most excited about because it's such a simple song, but it 1036 01:13:52,759 --> 01:13:56,661 - says so much. - If one of you guys phones it 1037 01:13:56,663 --> 01:13:58,251 in with a song like this, it's going to hurt. 1038 01:13:58,431 --> 01:14:02,577 - Leave it all out there, man. - Either one could take this. 1039 01:14:02,972 --> 01:14:06,172 Karina is a little more dynamic in her vocal performance, and I 1040 01:14:06,232 --> 01:14:09,580 think Judith needs to show a little emotion. 1041 01:14:10,795 --> 01:14:14,894 As their battle nears, Judith and Karina have one more rehearsal with Adam. 1042 01:14:21,062 --> 01:14:21,853 Adam asked me to work on 1043 01:14:21,855 --> 01:14:24,422 dynamics, and I think I gave him what he wanted. 1044 01:14:24,424 --> 01:14:26,257 This song is less about your ability to sing. 1045 01:14:26,259 --> 01:14:29,461 It's more about that connection. Work it out so you're really 1046 01:14:29,463 --> 01:14:31,362 talking to each other. That's what makes it really 1047 01:14:31,364 --> 01:14:33,498 - sizzle. - It's like a dialogue. 1048 01:14:33,500 --> 01:14:35,867 Yeah, it is. You know how if people are 1049 01:14:35,869 --> 01:14:38,236 talking and there's a flow to the conversation. 1050 01:14:38,238 --> 01:14:39,231 It's exactly like that. 1051 01:14:47,493 --> 01:14:49,960 To create that intense duet, 1052 01:14:49,995 --> 01:14:53,245 it needs to be a physical tug of war, and we're just pulling at 1053 01:14:53,280 --> 01:14:55,068 each other with the words. 1054 01:15:05,932 --> 01:15:08,299 Judith and Karina, they're both such amazing singers. 1055 01:15:08,301 --> 01:15:11,396 I'm a little upset that I paired them together, but that's the 1056 01:15:11,431 --> 01:15:13,327 reality I have to deal with. 1057 01:15:17,146 --> 01:15:18,943 This battle could easily be one of the most memorable on the 1058 01:15:18,945 --> 01:15:23,142 - history of our show. - Coming up, two of Adam's 1059 01:15:23,177 --> 01:15:26,285 artists take the stage for one of the most epic battles in 1060 01:15:26,419 --> 01:15:32,024 "Voice" history and bring our coaches to their feet. 1061 01:15:32,797 --> 01:15:34,781 That was not a great battle. That was the best battle I've 1062 01:15:34,816 --> 01:15:36,961 - ever seen on the show. - But will it be enough for the 1063 01:15:36,996 --> 01:15:38,897 coaches to steal? 1064 01:15:46,494 --> 01:15:50,246 It's the night of the are taking the stage. 1065 01:15:50,972 --> 01:15:53,924 The most important thing that I've learned from being Michael Jackson's 1066 01:15:54,145 --> 01:15:57,014 backup singer is to sing from your heart. 1067 01:15:58,214 --> 01:16:01,048 Judith is definitely a force to be reckoned with, but Adam 1068 01:16:01,050 --> 01:16:03,238 also picked me, and I want to stay here. 1069 01:16:03,273 --> 01:16:05,611 I could be a role model to my students. 1070 01:16:06,723 --> 01:16:09,890 This song lends itself to a very powerful voice. 1071 01:16:09,892 --> 01:16:13,027 So I just have to stay focused and do what I love to do. 1072 01:16:13,418 --> 01:16:15,485 I can't predict who's going to win, 1073 01:16:15,572 --> 01:16:18,585 but what I can say is that it's going to be epic. 1074 01:16:22,249 --> 01:16:25,034 Battling now from team Adam, 1075 01:16:25,069 --> 01:16:29,831 it's Michael Jackson's former singing partner, Judith hill. 1076 01:16:37,320 --> 01:16:42,640 Versus the music teacher and rocker, Karina Iglesias. 1077 01:16:59,004 --> 01:17:01,715 The battle starts right now. 1078 01:19:13,219 --> 01:19:15,531 An epic battle from team Adam, 1079 01:19:16,153 --> 01:19:19,824 Karina Iglesias versus Judith Hill. 1080 01:19:33,298 --> 01:19:35,129 And a well deserved standing 1081 01:19:35,164 --> 01:19:37,585 ovation. Well, it was certainly a woman's 1082 01:19:37,620 --> 01:19:40,395 world tonight. Excellent battle. 1083 01:19:42,495 --> 01:19:44,804 Adam has such a tough decision to make. 1084 01:19:44,839 --> 01:19:47,197 You can think about it. See if his fellow coaches can 1085 01:19:47,232 --> 01:19:50,163 help him out. Blake Shelton, what did you think of that? 1086 01:19:54,079 --> 01:19:57,404 Same thing everybody in this room. I was freaking out. 1087 01:19:57,405 --> 01:20:01,748 That was just... so good. 1088 01:20:02,877 --> 01:20:04,942 Judith has been a favorite since 1089 01:20:04,994 --> 01:20:07,485 we first saw her here on the show. 1090 01:20:07,520 --> 01:20:10,622 I mean, incredible story. She's got this incredible talent 1091 01:20:10,657 --> 01:20:14,119 to back it up. My gosh, sister, though, you 1092 01:20:14,154 --> 01:20:15,704 brought it. I mean, I don't know... 1093 01:20:15,741 --> 01:20:17,544 Thank you. 1094 01:20:19,876 --> 01:20:22,376 It's got to be intimidating to 1095 01:20:22,378 --> 01:20:25,804 sing with her, and you didn't back down one bit. 1096 01:20:25,839 --> 01:20:28,462 I mean, you... it was like watching a battle l up there. 1097 01:20:28,497 --> 01:20:32,152 - It was incredible. - Thanks, Blake. 1098 01:20:32,154 --> 01:20:35,887 The only negative thing I'll say is Adam's really stupid for 1099 01:20:36,103 --> 01:20:38,082 putting you two against each other. 1100 01:20:38,409 --> 01:20:40,054 Battles shouldn't sound this good. 1101 01:20:40,166 --> 01:20:42,952 - Usher, what did you think? - It was incredible. 1102 01:20:42,953 --> 01:20:48,502 You guys shook this entire room.
