"Welcome to "the voice,"" "the world's greatest singing competition..." "Yeah, I like that, too." "Ow!" "It's all good." "It's all good!" "...where our four superstar coaches, Adam levine..." "You are incredibly unique, and I want you on my team badly." "...Blake Shelton..." "Attention -- we are looking at a star." "...cee lo green..." "I heard the story of my life, you know, in your voice." "...and Christina aguilera..." "You blew me away." "...are building teams of 12 with their backs to the stage, basing their decision strictly on voice alone." "When I hear something I like on this stage, my hand's gonna reach down," "I'm gonna hit that button." "We've searched the country and invited only the best artists to the blind auditions." "You come across as a real artist." "These incredible singers all want the chance to work with our coaches." "Four of the biggest names in the industry could change your life forever." "These coaches would definitely help me improve just because of the success that they've had." "If I'm on a team, this could change my life." "And our coaches are eager to help shape their artists." "Yes!" "We all have something different to offer as coaches." "I've been doing this since I was 4 years old." "We do this for a living." "It's a perfect platform for us to help these guys get started." "Thank you so much." "You did great." "We have to put into perspective how could they be promoted and packaged to make this invention?" "I mean, like, it's Clay." "But tonight, the coaches risk filling one of the final spots on their teams when pushing their buttons..." "For us to push our buttons, you got to come with it." "...and they'll be more picky than ever before." "I just wanted to feel you kind of explode." "I damn near pushed my button." "I was tempted to turn around there, but we're looking for the voice, not the voice." "Only the best of the best will prevail." "Whoo!" "Yes!" "That's what I'm talking about!" "The blind auditions continue right now on "the voice."" "My name is ducky." "I'm 26, and I'm from Carlisle, Pennsylvania." "I grew up in a small town." "You know, there wasn't much to do out there, so that's sort of where music came about, and I just really kept going with that." "Besides being a musician, I'm actually a painter." "I do murals." "I've done some pretty cool stuff, but what I really want to do is focus on my music career." "But there's a lot of obstacles to deal with when you're trying to do what you love." "But my girlfriend, she's awesome." "How can doing well on "the voice"" "help you guys out as a couple?" "Oh." "Geez." "Uh, probably in every possible way." "We always said we weren't gonna get married until we were secure with where we were in life, so we're both working towards our artistic goals." "If one of those chairs turns around, that means ducky's in." "Yeah." "Does that mean you're gonna be waiting for a ring one of these days?" "I mean, I've been waiting." "I feel like that would be much closer to happening." "Good answer." "Good answer." "I can tell you that." "No pressure." "No pressure." "It's gonna happen regardless." "That's why they call you ducky." "'Cause you duck the question." "If I make "the voice,"" "it'll change everything." "I can get married and, you know, have a house." "I really need this opportunity." "This song could definitely determine the rest of my life." "It's gonna benefit everything that I do, help me get some exposure, form a career." "I got to get on a team today." "I have to." "?" "I wanted love ?" "Yeah, I needed love ?" "Most of all ?" "Someone said true love was dead ?" "?" "And I'm bound to fall ?"

"I'm ducky." "Check it out, man -- really, man, the reality of it is we're definitely looking for the best, you know?" "So, like, the best possible, you know, I mean, like, voice that we can find." "We were all kind of talking back over when we were turned around, saying -- we all talk to each other when it's great but we don't really know why we're not doing this." "We wish we would have pressed our button." "That's basically what sums it all up." "And sweet mustache." "Thank you!" "Is it a throwback to doc holliday from "tombstone"" "a little bit?" "Maybe a little bit." "Yes!" "Although, I could use a shot of sarsaparilla right now, though." "Yeah, yeah." "There we go." "Well..." "Christina:" "He has that in his glass." "Oh, my goodness." "Thank you." "Absolutely." "Yeah, that's good, man." "All right, brother." "Thank you so much." "Thank you very much." "Thank you, man." "All right." "Thank you, guys." "Ducky's one of those that I'm probably gonna look back on this and regret it a little bit." "Should have done it!" "Ohh!" "What are you gonna do, man?" "You did amazing." "Yeah, it was cool, you know?" "Cool experience." "Ducky, you're gonna be the one that a lot of America just saw and went like," ""what's wrong with those four?"" "And I think tomorrow morning when we wake up, there's gonna be a big Internet buzz." "Like, it'll be like the "what the heck happened to ducky?" Movement, and I think that could be in your favor." "Yeah." "Hopefully so." "All right." "While ducky had style to spare, his voice wasn't the right fit for our coaches." "Coming up, more incredible performances..." "?" "You don't know a thing about me ?" "?" "Makes you change your ways ?" "Like hanging with your crew ?" "Said you act like you ready ?" "Usher." "?" "But you don't really know sounds exactly like him." "?" "Hey I thought that was a prank." "...and Christina and cee lo set modesty aside to win over an artist." "I've been doing this since I was 4 years old." "I can do anything." "Oh, God!" "Welcome back to night four of the blind auditions." "With only a handful of spots remaining on our coaches' teams, the pressure is on." "And our next artist, 23-year-old jonathas, has more at stake than just his own dreams." "Who's the family?"

"Me being here at "the voice,"" "you know, this was never in the cards for me." "Me being here in America was never in the cards for me." "I was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil." "I came here to the united states when I was 5 years old." "In Brazil, you know, the poverty, the violence is just really, really bad, and my mom just wanted a better life for us." "When I first came to America, I knew absolutely no English." "I basically just started listening to as much music as I could, so that's basically how I learned English." "This would be the American dream, and it would give me the satisfaction that my mom didn't bring me down here for nothing." "These coaches would definitely help me improve just because of, you know, where they've been in their life, the success that they've had." "I just definitely think I'd get a lot of help from them." "If a coach doesn't pick me, it's definitely gonna hurt." "There's definitely a lot of pressure." "I don't want to let my kids down." "I don't want to let my wife down." "I need this." "I need this." "?" "No, no, no ?" "No, no, no, no ?" "No, no, no ?" "When you feel it in your body ?" "?" "You found somebody who ?" "Makes you change your ways ?" "Like hanging with your crew ?" "Usher." "?"

"I was so curious what was behind my chair, 'cause I saw the girls get up, and they were like..." "Were you dancing back here?" "I did a little something like this." "?" "Hey yeah, boy." "?" "Hey see, now, in my world, in my genre, in my tours, I've gotten to know some of the best choreographers that, um, have been in the business, and I want to mold you and package you and do the right things by you."

"Adam, you didn't turn your chair around, so shut up!" "You're not the boss of me." "That's what you think." "Check it out, yo, jon." "I don't toot my horn too often, but, like, I can do anything." "Oh, God!" "You know what?" "I've been doing this since I was 4 years old." "I've been through the highs, the lows, the ups, the downs, everything in between." "I have the experience, the knowledge, the talent... the voice!" "...and the advi-- thank you very much." "...the voice, um, to share with you." "But honestly, ultimately, it's up to you." "I've been a... cee lo, I've been a huge fan of yours since, I mean, goodie mob, dungeon family since way back." "And, Christina, I mean, I was in, like, fifth grade when "genie in a bottle"" "came out, so I-I've always had the hots for you and, um..." "And, cee lo, I love you to death, man, but I'm gonna have to go with Christina." "Whoo!" "Mwah!" "You're my hero." "Oh, thank you." "We're gonna have fun." "It'll be really fun." "Yeah, we are."

"Baba." "Give daddy a hug." "Come here." "Mwah!" "Love you." "Jonathas -- he had a wonderful voice, but I definitely want who wants me." "You know what I'm saying?" "Like, if we don't have that in common, then cool." "Christina aguilera and cee lo green just fought over you." "Yeah." "I'm so blessed." "You know?" "I just thank God, you know, for putting me in this position." "For jonathas, it's a dream come true." "But it only leaves Christina with 5 spots on her team of 12." "With one less spot available, can our next artist get a chair to turn?" "My name is Monique benabou." "I'm 23 years old, and I'm from Alameda, California." "I feel like being on "the voice"" "would be a huge thank-you to my parents." "They've gone through so much." "When I was 12, my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer." "I was staying home from school and taking my mom to chemo and feeding her and making sure she was okay." "I'm nervous." "Um..." "You shouldn't be nervous." "You're natural, so leave it in the hands of God." "I stayed home with her a lot because I was afraid that I was gonna lose my mom, and I didn't understand at 12 years old all these things that were going on, and I had to grow up a little faster and be there for her." "I'm ready." "I'm ready to do it." "We're ready." "My whole motive with music is to help my family out, and the importance of this audition is monumental." "?" "Mr. Know it all ?" "Well, you think you know it all ?" "?" "But you don't know a thing at all ?" "?" "Ain't it, ain't it something, y'all ?" "?" "When somebody tells you something 'bout you ?" "She looks great, huh?"

"Thank you." "I love you guys." "I'm so happy!" "You should be happy." "You did a great job." "Thank you." "I can't imagine what it's like as a female vocalist to stand up there and sing and know that -- because even though Christina and I want to kill each other sometimes, I still think she's, hands down, the best female vocalist" "of our generation." "I really do think that." "Thank you, Blake." "I mean, to have her turn around and believe in you, that's got to be a great feeling." "Congratulations." "That's awesome." "Oh, thank you so much." "That's awesome." "Thank you, Blake." "She's your coach." "How excited are you about that?" "She's amazing." "I'm so stoked." "You were great." "You know, I was listening for the pitch." "I was like, "okay, she started out really strong." "Nice tone." "Sounds powerful."" "You were genuinely consistent, and you delivered, so that's why I pushed my button." "Thank you!" "Thank you." "I love you." "Thank you." "We're gonna kick ass." "We're gonna win this thing." "Whoo!" "She's good." "She was strong." "Yeah!" "I told you not to worry!" "Wow." "I am, like, overwhelmed." "Monique was so cute." "I was so happy when I turned around." "Her energy was just so good, and her voice was so strong, and it was thoroughly strong the whole way through, so I'm really happy to have her." "Coming up, a street performer hits the "voice" stage." "?" "Oh, yes, I said it, I said it ?" "But will she get more than just a few tips from our coaches?" "And later..." "let the battle begin!" "...things heat up between Adam and Christina." "That's what I heard in you, which was a very cool, simple thing that -- way beyond just simple." "Anyway, so, I mean -- yeah." "I'm not saying I'm, you know -- yeah." "Okay." "You're not common and simple." "You guys should get a room." "No, don't " "?" "This is "the voice"" "welcome back to "the voice."" "We've invited artists from all over the country for just one reason -- their voice." "Right now I'm headed to the third street promenade in Santa Monica to meet a street musician named Naia kete." "?" "Came into my life, filled my head with lies ?" "I've been doing street performing with my little brother and my boyfriend." "We are basically here four to five days a week, five or six sometimes, making our living." "We want to thank you guys again so much for being here." "We know you don't have to stop, but you do, and we really appreciate it, so thank you." "She's right over there." "Sorry to interrupt." "Sorry to interrupt." "Sorry to interrupt." "Oh, my God!" "Read it." "It says, "congratulations." "You are invited to the blind auditions for 'the voice.'"" "whoo!" "What does it mean to get a shot at the blind auditions?" "It means everything to me." "To be able to do this in front of all of America is just -- it's so incredible, and I'm so excited." "Congratulations." "We'll see you at the blind auditions, all right?" "Yes!" "Can't wait!" "Okay." "For the past 21 years, it's just been tireless, endless hours of dreaming and writing and singing." "That was amazing to see you on third street." "We take for granted that we walk around and go into shops, and there's people out there doing music and making a living at it." "How is that living?" "We get by." "It's a lot, a lot, a lot of hard work." "Mom, when did you know Naia had the gift?" "Starting when she was 5 or 6." "I mean, she was writing music right away, too." "She just had this incredible school of life that she was working on." "If that chair turned around, it would just be..." "An incredible way to validate my voice." "?" "Today I don't feel like doing anything ?" "?" "I just want to lay in my bed" "?" "Today, I swear I'm not doing anything ?" "Right away!" "?" "Oh, I'll be lying on my couch ?" "?" "Just chilling in my snuggle ?" "Click to mtv so they can teach me how to Dougie ?" "?" "'Cause in my castle, I'm the frickin' woman ?" "Yeah!" "?" "Oh, yes, I said it, I said it ?" "?" "I said it 'cause I can ?" "Today I don't feel like doing anything ?" "Come on, guys." "Go for it." "I would not push my button if I was you." "?" "No, I ain't gonna comb my hair ?" "?"

"Hello, there, earth angel." "What's your name?" "My name is Naia kete." "I pushed my button for you." "Cee lo, you push all my buttons, I got to say." "Whoo!" "I'm so screwed." "I'm already screwed." "Yeah, you lost, Blake." "That's the first time I've heard that overt flirtation coming from the other person." "I know." "Yeah, you had a really great texture to your voice, a really cool sound that kind of reminded me of maybe one of Blake's artists from last year." "Yes, it does, doesn't it?" "Yes, it does." "Somebody that should work on my team, as a matter of fact." "And he did do very well, but, you know, just for whatever reason," "I didn't find a spot for it on my team and what I was looking for, but you're in two very capable hands right here." "Let the battle begin!" "Let's go." "Let me just say you know how you're -- right now I'm looking at you, and you're all giddy, and you're excited." "That's what I'm doing inside right now." "I am." "Thank you." "Thank you very much." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Thank you." "The minute you started singing, you just made me smile." "Instantly, I fell in love with your voice." "Aww." "I don't know what it is." "I did, so..." "I would be honored being your coach." "What I heard was an innocent, pure quality in your voice." "It was very soothing and calming, and it just felt really good." "It felt really warm to me, you know?" "And I want to be around that energy." "You know what I'm saying?" "Like, you know, and I want to help nurture it." "You know what I'm saying?" "Like, you know?" "It's amazing because your voice had the complete opposite effect." "It was not soothing or calming to me." "It made me want to stand up and dance, and it just made me happy." "I didn't find your voice to be boring, like cee lo was describing to you." "You're obviously -- you're unique already." "I can tell that you probably have all your own ideas, and I'd love to hear those things." "That was good." "That's a good sell." "You're in total control." "And you have, you know, choice, you know, to really, really pick who you want to be with." "Oh." "Okay." "Um..." "I have to say I really came into this competition feeling like if I had the choice, because I admire you so incredibly much," "I felt like you were my gut from the very beginning." "Mm-hmm." "But everybody told me, "go with your gut in the moment," and I have to go with Blake." "I have to." "Yes!" "The gut." "Went with the gut." "Naia!" "Congratulations, sweetie." "It's gonna be a lot of fun." "You're awesome." "She is awesome." "She is awesome!" "Blake." "She basically just admitted she doesn't like your music." "She's like, "well, I'm a bigger fan of cee lo, but I'll go with Blake."" "Yeah!" "Oh, my God." "Amazing job." "It was so much fun to watch you." "I saw you on third street promenade and now all the way to this incredible moment on the "voice" stage." "Congratulations." "Thank you." "I'm so happy for you." "Thank you." "I know that we have talent just itching to come over here and be a part of team cee lo green, the red zone." "That was funny." "I don't care." "Coming up, an artist gives a moving performance..." "?" "And I'm free, oh, oh ...and cee lo has issues with his fellow coaches." "Are your guys' ears burned out?" "Was it not obvious that this guy has a wonderful voice?" "?" "This is "the voice"" "welcome back to the blind auditions, where our next artist, 23-year-old Charlotte sometimes, never thought she'd have an opportunity like this." "When I was 14, I got diagnosed with condylar resorption, and they told me that my jaw had disintegrated." "I was devastated." "I thought, what if I couldn't sing?" "What if it was over for me?" "I didn't have an option to fail." "Singing is what I was going to do, and I just didn't give up." "Couple years ago, you know, you might not have been here." "It was kind of scary 'cause my jaw could fracture at any moment." "Before the surgery, I mean, the possibility was that she would not be able to move her jaw." "After I got the surgery, my jaw was wired shut for about five months or so, and I started writing because I was just so scared that I would never be able to sing again." "I picked up the guitar, and I just started writing songs, even though I couldn't actually sing them." "I would hum them, and that's how I got through it." "Before Charlotte gets her chance to make a team, our next singer, 31-year-old erick macek, wants to live the dream that brought his parents to America." "My parents were born and raised in Slovakia, former czechoslovakia." "They came here pretty much to give us the American dream, give us a better opportunity in life." "Wow." "So, you want to do well not just for you and your career..." "Oh, without a doubt." "...but to give back to your family." "Without a doubt." "Got to buy mom a house at some point." "You know?" "Oh, yeah, definitely." "My mom and dad came here looking for an American dream." "And if a chair turns around, the dream lives on." "?" "She's a good girl ?" "Loves her mama ?" "Loves Jesus ?" "And America, too" "?" "She's a good girl ?" "She's crazy 'bout Elvis ?" "Loves horses" "?" "And her boyfriend, too ?" "And I am free come on." "Come on." "Turn." "Turn." "Oh, Blake was gonna go in on this." "?" "Oh, I'm free fallin' come on, y'all." "Help me out a little bit." "?" "I want to glide down ?" "Over Mulholland ?" "I want to write her oh, you know this song?" "Oh, I love this song." "?" "Name in the sky I like this version of the song." "Yeah." "Come on, cee lo!" "?" "I'm gonna free fall ?" "Out into nothing ?" "I'm gonna leave this ?" "World for a while" "?" "And I'm free ?" "Oh, oh ?" "I'm free fallin'" "?" "Come on, feel it with me ?" "'Cause I am free fallin'" "?" "And I'm free fallin' for you ?" "Free fallin'" "?" "And I'm free fallin' for you ?" "What's up, bro?" "How you guys doing?" "How are you, man?" "What's your name?" "Erick macek." "Erick, nice to meet you, sir." "Where you from, bro?" "I'm from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, right outside of Philly area." "Man, thanks for coming all this way, man, to share your talent with us." "Thank you, guys, for taking a listen." "You gave a good performance." "It stayed pretty mellow." "And it just didn't really go anywhere, but, um, you know, everybody has their own style." "Everybody has their own thing." "It just wasn't, for whatever reason, for me, so thank you." "I wouldn't change anything about what you do, and I damn near pushed my button." "That's the worst thing that I can say, I know." "But if somebody puts him on their team, I don't know how well it will do in a battle round or something like that." "You know what I mean?" "And that's stuff we have to think about as coaches." "Thank you, guys." "Appreciate your time." "He's got a cool quality to his voice, but I just didn't feel it at that moment, and I wanted to so badly." "Hey." "Why are your eyes watering?" "Congratulations." "You were great." "Erick, that was great." "That was great." "Don't worry about it." "I can see the frustration in your face." "I get to that point, and you're in the championship game, and nobody remembers the second-place team." "You know what I mean?" "Like, it's kind of one of those -- it's just one of those things." "Don't be too deflated about this." "You're good." "Thanks, mom." "My job as a coach is to hear somebody that's unique, that I think" "I can do something with." "But we haven't heard that person that all four of us turned around and really are gonna have to fight for, and that will happen sooner or later." "Coming up, Blake's prediction comes true." "No!" "God dang it!" "?" "This is "the voice"" "welcome back to the blind auditions, where the teams are steadily filling up." "But our next singer, Charlotte sometimes, has overcome too much to be discouraged." "When the doctors told me that I might not be able to sing because of my jaw disease, I knew that wasn't an option for me." "I was always going to sing." ""The voice" is a really important opportunity for me because I really want to show them you can do anything that you put your mind to, and I just can't wait to show everyone what I got." "?"

"That it's too late to apologize ?" "?" "Yeah, it's too late ?" "I said it's too late to apologize ?" "?" "Yeah, it's too late ?" "I loved you with a fire red ?" "Now it's turning blue" "?" "And you say "sorry"" "like an angel ?" "?" "Heaven let me think was you come on." "?" "Oh, but I'm afraid ?" "It's too LA-a-a-a-a-te ?" "I said it's too late to apologize ?" "All four turned." "All four." "They all four turned!" "All four." "All four, brother." "?" "Ah ?" "Holding on your rope ?" "Got me 10 feet off ?" "The ground thank you." "Yeah!" "Oh, my gosh." "Wow." "What's your name, and where are you from?" "My name is Charlotte sometimes, and I'm from wall, New Jersey." "Charlotte sometimes?" "Yeah." "?" "Hey well, I want you all the time, Charlotte." "Well, you know, there's enough of me to go around." "Ow!" "You were great." "I loved your performance." "You were strong the whole way through." "I was wondering, because we hear some voices that start off really strong and then start -- start fading away." "Hey, Charlotte, I never wondered, uh, like Christina did." "Because my job as a coach is to, you know, hear it, understand it." "And within the first few lines, I knew what I was hearing, and I think we're all gravitating towards unique vocalists." "And that's what you are." "I think you're very special." "And you have a quality in your voice that reminds me of a girl named xenia that I worked with last year." "She and I had a pretty good run together." "Xenia has a record deal now is all I'm saying, Charlotte." "Whoo." "I mean, if -- you know, if you're into that type of thing." "Well, Charlotte, you did a great job." "When you opened up, it was like a flower." "You know what I'm saying?" "Like, and it was just beautiful, and, you know, it was just very graceful and very, you know, poised, and I loved your performance, and I just want to compliment you over and over, just shower you with them." "I thought you were amazing." "It must have felt great, too, you know?" "All four of us turned around." "You know, you're so unique." "And I'm the kind of singer, too, where it's like I'm not the best as far as being able to do everything." "I can't, so I have a specific thing, and that's what I heard in you, which was a very kind of cool, simple thing that could be refined a little bit, definitely." "It was cool and unique " " I didn't think it was so simple." "I think you were unique and individual, and you put your own flair to it that made it way beyond just simple." "Anyway, so, I mean -- yeah." "I'm not saying, you know -- yeah, okay." "You're not common and simple." "You guys should get a room, man." "That's a har-- no, stop." "Nasty." "Exactly." "You can use my place." "Bring it back to the talent." "I like simplicity, personally." "I love that about you, and I do think that it was simple in a great, beautiful way, and I'd love to work with you." "I love all of you, and I'm making a decision that I didn't think" "I was going to make." "Um..." "Blake." "?" "I'm on the edge yes!" "?" "Of glory ?" "And I'm hanging on a moment of truth ?" "Very good, Charlotte sometimes." "Thank you." "You're welcome." "Thank you." "You're welcome." "This is gonna be a lot of fun." "?" "I'm on the edge, the edge ?" "The edge, the edge whoo!" "Yes!" "That's what I'm talking about!" "It truly warms my heart because she got a four-chair turnaround, and for her to decide to go with me is a huge compliment." "She really is a star." "Honey!" "Ohh!" "I can't believe it!" "I told you." "I told you." "I told you." "All four." "What'd I tell you?" "What'd I tell you?" "All four." "How'd it feel to have all four chairs turn?" "That's incredible." "I was like, "oh, my gosh!"" "I got really excited." "Congratulations." "I'm so happy for you." "Thank you." "Now Blake only needs 4 more artists for his team of 12." "What's that?" "It's like -- it's supposed to be electricity, like, touching itself." "That was weird." "When we come back, the night's excitement grows." "As more incredible performances inspire our coaches." "I love your voice." "Great performance." "Attention -- we are looking at a star." "I'm really, really desperate to have you on my team 'cause I love you." "You were hitting some of those runs, like executing them sharp, and I like that." "But first, a singer is willing to give up a successful career to make a coach's team." "I just got done working with green day on their "American idiot" show on Broadway, but my heart really lies in the pop-rock world." "If one of those coaches turns around for me, it would be absolutely thrilli" "?" "This is "the voice"" "welcome back to the blind auditions." "So far tonight, Christina and Blake have each added two artists, while Adam and cee lo have yet to land one." "Let's see if they find what they're looking for in our next group of artists." "First up, Broadway star Tony Vincent hopes his background gives him the edge he needs to make a team." "I originally moved to New York to pursue a pop-rock deal, but I immediately started doing a lot of Broadway and wound up getting a chance to be in "rent,"" "at that time this huge theatrical phenomenon, and that led me to doing Judas in the revival of "Jesus Christ superstar."" "I just got done working with green day on their "American idiot" show on Broadway, and I had this opportunity to work with queen as a band." "They were getting ready to put together a show called "we will rock you"" "on the west end, and, basically, before I knew it, I was getting ready to move to London for about two years to work with the band exclusively." "It seems incredible because you have these performances that got to keep you honest onstage." "It's physically demanding." "Well, eight shows a week is tough." "I mean, it really is for a singer." "And then they asked me to open the show in America, in Vegas, which is where we met." "Right." "And I was his costar." "We actually have a picture." "You want to see it?" "Of you two together?" "Do you have it?" "It was like 7 years ago now, right?" "So, it was "we will rock you" in Las Vegas." "And what were you in the play?" "Scaramouche." "Oh, my God." "Oh, totally." "Look at the purple hair." "There you are." "Look at that face." "I feel incredibly blessed daily because I have such a supportive wife, who's an amazing talent on her own." "So, what about your career -- your Broadway career, your singing?" "My career is a little on hold right now 'cause I'm sporting a baby bump." "Whoa!" "Yeah, we're 16 weeks in, so..." "We're having our first soon." "Dude, congratulations." "Thanks, man." "I chose "the voice"" "as the platform of my next step because this show has an amazing amount of integrity, in my opinion." "It's really vocally driven, and I thought that was very important to me as an artist." "Broadway has been a total blessing for me and my career, but my heart really lies in the pop-rock world, and it's a place that I really want to return." "There's a lot riding on this for me." "I have a baby on the way, and this is an opportunity for me to continue to do what I love and to support my family at the same time." "?" "I've paid my dues ?" "Time after time ?" "I've done my sentence" "?" "But committed no crime" "?" "And bad mistakes ?" "I've made a few" "?" "I've had my share of sand kicked in my face ?" "?" "But I've come through ?" "Yeah" "?" "We are the champions ?" "My friends" "?" "And we'll keep on fighting ?" "Till the end I like his voice." "I like it." "Whoo!" "That got him." "Whoo!" "?" "We are the champions ?" "No time for losers ?" "'Cause we are the champio-o-o-o-ns ?" "Hey, what's your name?" "Tony Vincent." "Are your guys' ears burned out?" "Could you not -- was it not obvious that this guy has a wonderful voice?" "He does." "He does." "I love your voice." "Great performance, sir." "Thanks, man." "I loved the drama that you conveyed in your voice." "I loved the intensity and the passion." "It all came through." "It was all there." "But I kind of " " I know why cee lo snatched you up." "So congratulations." "Thanks very much." "Cee lo is the king of over-the-top, larger-than-life performances." "Over the top?" "No." "Over the top." "He's the king of that, so you got the perfect guy, man." "Rock 'n' roll." "Tony, what do you think of yourself?" "I think I kick ass." "It takes so much confidence going behind Freddie Mercury." "Like, that's such a brave song." "So, I know that you have done him a great justice, and I know that he's proud in that performance." "And I really was moved by it." "I'm a renaissance man, but, like, at heart, man, like, you know, to the bone," "I'm rock 'n' roll." "You feel me?" "Completely." "Yeah." "And so, therefore, your voice -- it's progressive." "You know what I'm saying?" "Like, it's not about playing by the rules." "And I like that threat." "I like that danger." "And that's the type of attitude I want to endorse." "You know what I'm saying?" "I just " " I'm truly looking forward to working with you." "Nice." "Come on." "Thanks, man." "I enjoyed it, man." "For sure." "Let's win this thing." "Damn right." "All right?" "No playing around." "No." "He's great." "He's just -- you guys belong." "I mean -- he's good." "He's a good member." "Yeah." "Congratulations." "Oh, thank you, baby." "Thanks." "How do you feel?" "I feel great." "Ecstatic." "And as you should be." "I mean, the competition this year is tenfold what it was last season." "Yeah." "Congratulations, brother." "I'm happy for you." "Carson, thank you so much." "Definitely." "Thank you." "Aspen, we'll see you soon." "Okay." "With Tony, cee lo now has 5 spots to fill his team of 12." "Our next artist, 33-year-old Anthony Evans, believes he can get one as long as he has faith." "I'm a pastor's kid, so, naturally, music was a big part of my everyday life, and I had no idea that singing was my thing." "It just became over time, just listening and singing along at church." "My dad -- his name is Dr. Tony Evans." "And in the Christian world, he's pretty well-known." "He started a church with 10 people in an apartment 36 years ago, and now it's over 8,000 people in Dallas." "He's written like 40 books and has a radio broadcast that's on 500 stations all over the world, so, um, that's my dad." "I started to feel this pressure of, "you got to be something."" "I mean, I deal with that my whole life." "You just got to be something 'cause your dad's something." "You know what I mean?" "But he has never put that pressure on me, which helps me to kind of recollect and get a rein on all those thoughts." "What did you think about your son?" "I mean, you get up in front of thousands, right, every Sunday." "You're good in big crowds." "What have you been able to help Anthony out with?" "I have seen him develop not only in his voice but in his stage presence and engaging people into the life of the message that he's singing about." "I just want to be able to convey the message of being yourself and not being -- you don't have to be perfect." "You can be authentic." "Right." "You can be who you are." "And that's the message of Anthony Evans' music?" "Yeah." "Yeah." "That's beautiful." "Thank you very much." "Thank you." "Thank you." "The struggle that I have as a Christian artist is that people would say," ""who is he?"" "Like, "he needs to define himself as a gospel act or a contemporary" "Christian act,"" "and I wanted to define myself by being Anthony Evans, which was straight up the middle, and "the voice" asked me to be myself, and so that's the whole reason why I'm here." "I've been on the road for 10 years as a gospel act, and in this next minute and a half, I will sing in front of more people than I have in the last 10 years altogether." "?" "Oh-h-h-h if it's gonna go big, it needs to happen now." "Good luck." "I'm nervous." "?" "Mother, mother ?" "There's too many of you crying ?" "?" "And, brother, brother, brother ?" "Oh, come on!" "?" "There's far too many that's good." "?" "Of you dying ?" "You know we've got to find a way ?" "?" "To bring some lovin' here today ?" "?" "Picket lines and picket signs ?" "?" "Don't punish me with brutality ?" "?" "Oh, talk to me ?" "So you can see ?" "What's going on ?" "Whoo, ohh ?" "What's going on yes!" "What's up?" "How you doing, man?" "What's your name?" "Anthony." "There's a tremble in your voice that's -- it's very sensitive and very sincere." "It's almost like you're almost on the verge of crying because you really feel what you're saying, like, you know?" "And so that's really what I felt, and I really got emotionally involved." "I really did." "You know what I mean?" "And... everybody can vouch for me behind me." "Like, I was just about to hit it, and Christina hit it." "I was like, "damn."" "I was gonna hit it for you, too." "Man, never touch another man's button." "I thought you had a beautiful voice." "Thank you." "Thank you." "I mean, I thought it was really beautiful." "And, cee lo, you were thinking about it." "Yeah." "You were really thinking about it up to the last minute, and I was waiting just to hear something kind of crazy and spectacular." "And at the end, you were hitting some of those runs, like, executing them sharp." "And I like that." "And I appreciate that." "So, thank you." "Yeah." "Man, I think you got a great texture, by the way." "I actually was saying, "what are you doing?" "That's your guy." "That is your guy."" "I was saying that to you." "You were." "You were like, "press your button." "What are you doing?"" "And so it probably took her longer to push because I was actually asking her to and she had to prove a point that she doesn't listen to me." "But either way, congratulations, man." "You're in the show." "Yeah." "What's up?" "!" "I tried." "I tried." "I tried." "That was close!" "I know." "I was like, "all right." "Come on, somebody."" "It's always a tough one when people get up on that stage and sing Stevie wonder or Marvin gaye or anything classic, but I thought he executed it so well and just kept getting better and better and better the entire performance," "so by the end, I just knew I had to push for him." "We were sweating that." "Yeah, yeah, yeah." "I was like, "oh." We were." "What did it feel like when you saw her turn around at the very end?" "It was great." "Congratulations, man." "Thank you." "It was fun to watch with everybody, too." "Good." "Coming up, a voice onstage inspires cee lo." "I make sandwiches for a living." "Well, you know what?" "I eat sandwiches." "?" "This is "the voice"" "welcome back to "the voice."" "Our search for the most talented artists in America led us to a small sandwich shop in Chicago." "Hi." "How are you?"

"We are at potbelly sandwich works, my place of work for the past four years of my life." "There you go." "Thank you." "Every Friday, they let me play for about two hours." "It's really cool, man." "I mean, the same place I work, I get to play music at." "We're about to surprise Jamie with this invitation to "the voice."" "I just want to let you know how proud we are of you." "And I have something for you, Jamie." "What's that?" "I have this for you." "What is it?" "Jamie's going to "the voice"!" "Whoo!" "Congratulations." "All right!" "Jamie!" "Congratulations!" "When I saw the envelope, I didn't know what to do, really, and then the whole store cheered." "It was one of the coolest moments of my life." "Having a supportive family is really awesome." "They're kind of my rock, because when I was 2, I had a growth on my left lung, and I had pneumonia." "Eventually, I had to get half of my lung removed, and my family actually went bankrupt from all the medical bills, and it was a really hard time for my mom, my dad, my sister." "But my dad brought us out of bankruptcy, and I'm really grateful." "Good luck out there." "?" "I hear the train a-comin'" "?" "It's rolling around the bend ?" "Well, I ain't seen the sunshine ?" "?"

"I'm from Chicago, Illinois." "Really?" "Okay." "What a great version of Johnny cash." "Well, thank you so much, man." "Yeah." "What a great version." "Thank you so much." "You know, Johnny's approach is no-nonsense." "You put some soul in that thing." "Thank you." "I can't believe this, man." "I make sandwiches for a living, so this is awesome." "Aww." "Thank you, guys, so much." "Whoo!" "Aww." "That's so cute." "Well, you know what, man?" "We should hook up, man, because I eat sandwiches." "I will ensure that you never have to make a sandwich again." "Ah." "Hey." "So, I guess I got to ask you guys a question." "So, why do you think you guys turned around?" "I mean, I'm so grateful, so thank you, guys." "I turned around because you're so soulful." "You know, I think that's what I responded to." "First of all, the song choice is so cool." "It's such an amazing song." "It is." "You know, the way you delivered it was really soulful and did something that was different." "And that's the thing, man." "And we all keep saying that this year -- is that different is what we want, and that's why I turned my chair around." "Thank you, guys, so much." "Thank you." "I turned around because it does represent you having your own opinion and your own artistic intent, you know, and vision of what you want to do and how you see yourself, and I would like that type of" "energy around me and ability." "You know what I mean?" "And I want to endorse that and encourage it." "You know what I'm saying?" "Like, because it's something like myself." "Cool." "Yes." "Yeah."

"I knew Dylan was gonna go on to great things the first moment" "I saw him onstage." "He just lit up." "My father was not around for any of this." "I never met my father, so I spent a lot of time hanging out with my mom, and no young boy wants to spend a bunch of time with their mom." "They want to be outside, throwing baseballs with their father." "But, unfortunately, I didn't have that, so I just stayed in my room a lot." "It was difficult." "I was lonely." "I do think that with my father not being around, it actually helped me progress in music more, and I've just been singing ever since, and it's been my life." "I really can't imagine doing anything else at all." "It's finally here." "You know, this is my one shot to really kill it." "But my hands are shaking." "My heart's pounding." "Keep it positive." "Dreams don't chase themselves, Dylan." "You're here." "You're here." "This is something I've always wanted to do, and this could mean the world to me." "?" "Well, sometimes I go out by myself ?" "?" "And I look across the water" "?" "And I think of all the things, what you're doing ?" "?" "In my head, I paint a picture ?" "?" "Oh, well, since I've come on home ?" "?"

"And I was like, "oh, wow, that could have happened a lot earlier."" "And then maybe it would have, you know, changed my decision, but you did a great job otherwise." "Thank you so much, man." "I think at this point, you know, the bar is set higher this year, and I'm looking for just that moment that just is magic for me and makes me push the button, and certain things are just gonna get better" "with your voice, and it will mature and develop into something that maybe one day we will push our buttons for, but thank you so much."

""The voice" is really about the artist inside you, and I've been working my whole career for this opportunity." "I've thought about who I'd want to have as a coach." "I think cee lo is about as innovative as they get, and his ability to cross genres is mind-blowing to me." "I'd be blown away if I had the opportunity to work with cee lo." "You know, there's a lot more at stake than just me here as an artist trying to make it." "If they don't turn around, it would really crush any possibility of ever being a lead singer." "?" "Ah, ah-ah-ah and at this stage, it has to be something big for me to keep doing music." "At this moment in time, it's do or die." "?" "Friday night, I'm going nowhere ?" "?"

"Well, come on down." "Good luck." "Good job." "Looking forward to it." "Thanks." "Justin kind of sounded like a little brother and a princely soul, so to speak, and what better mentor to have than old soul brother cee lo green?" "Mwah!" "Mwah!" "I love you." "I made it." "You made it." "Who's onstage in this one, right?" "Dude, I'm so happy for you." "Thank you, man." "I got to so selfishly watch your talent for so long." "And you got in."

"I didn't sing in front of a soul till I was 20 years old, and to be quite honest, it's still kind of nerve-racking to think of myself as a singer." "In Nashville, everyone tells me, you know, "you're gonna have to learn to play guitar if you really want to do this."" "And I think that this show is a perfect way for me to go, "no, there's nobody like me."" "I brought my mom and my youngest brother, Cooper." "He's 10 years old." "I'm really excited to see her onstage and just have that big, like -- that's her time to just shine." "This is a really big audition because I'm doing the thing that scares me the most." "To go out and sing for those four coaches, let alone all of America, is facing my biggest fear." "I'm still growing into believing that I'm a singer." "?" "Every now and then ?" "I get a little lost ?" "My strings all get tangled" "?" "The wires all get crossed ?" "And I just thank God you're here ?" "?" "'Cause when I'm a bullet shot out of a gun ?" "?" "And when I'm a firecracker comin' undone ?" "?" "And when I'm a fugitive ready to run ?" "?" "All wild-eyed and crazy oh, my God!" "?" "And I know I don't tell you nearly enough ?" "?" "That I could not live one day without your love ?" "?" "'Cause when I'm a bullet shot out of a gun ?" "?" "And when I'm a firecracker comin' undone ?" "?" "And when I'm a fugitive ready to run ?" "?" "All wild-eyed and crazy ?" "Baby, you ?" "You save me oh, my God!" "Stupid." "You guys are dumb." "What's your name?" "I'm nicolle galyon." "Oh, man." "You know what's great about that?" "First of what's great about it is that no one else turned their chair around, thank God." "I didn't want to deal with that noise." "But I'm so happy because when I listened to you sing, I felt like there were moments -- and you were nervous, and I could hear that and feel that, but when you weren't nervous," "you were so special, and I'm so happy I have you." "Hi, nicolle." "Hi." "Where were you on this one, by the way, bro?" "Well " " I was telling him push it." "You were sleeping at the wheel." "Here's what's interesting, though, is I think the imperfections and the nerves y'all are talking about " " I think it's more -- because that didn't happen until after you turned around." "I think she probably just got emotional because she -- at that moment, you were in, you know?" "That seems like that's what happened to me." "And you do that to me." "You make me giddy." "You make me fall apart." "I lose my voice when you're around." "Anyway, congratulations, nicolle." "Thank you so much." "I'm very happy for you." "Hey, nicolle!" "You're great." "You're so talented." "I can't wait to work with you." "Yes!" "Oh, my God!" "Oh, my God." "Did that just happen?" "I can't believe it." "Oh, my God." "I can't believe it." "How did it feel?" "I can't believe that just happened." "Congratulations." "Thank you." "Do you feel like the nerves are behind you as you move on to the battle rounds now?" "I feel like I'm a brand-new person." "I mean, I came here, like, thinking this was the biggest long shot in the world." "?" "Brighter than the sun it pays off for nicolle as Adam lands his first artist of the night, leaving him 4 spots to fill his team of 12." "I've got some country artists on my team that I feel really strong about and just didn't have that feeling about nicolle." "More power to her, though." "She got last year's winning coach to turn around for her, you know?" "That's pretty cool." "With limited spots on their teams, the coaches clearly want voices that sound special." "?" "Sometimes I get my head in a dilly ?" "?" "Feeling so lost ?" "Ticking you off boom." "So strong." "And I just got a really good feeling about it." "Thanks." "?" "Like our chicken fried ?" "Cold beer on a Friday night ?" "A pair of jeans that fit just right ?" "This is by far my favorite thing that's happened on this show." "You're a real, genuine country singer, and I'm the only one here that gets it." "?" "Lay me down on a bed of roses ?" "?" "Sink me in the river there's something really pure and kind of perfect and amazing about your voice." "?" "I can't stay on your life support ?" "?" "There's a shortage in the switch ?" "?" "I can't stay on your morphine ?" "I hear something special in your voice, and I'm glad that you're on my team." "Thank you." "Thank you so much." "When we come back, an uncommon artist gets the coaches' attention." "I'm a 6-foot, 300-pound white guy that sings old-school soul music." "You don't sound like anybody I've ever heard." "That's one of my favorite songs." "When I hear something that I love, I'm back here, like, doing the other part." "?" "Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-doo hey, everybody." "On "the voice" Facebook page. to everything online and behind the scenes at "the voice."" "More blind auditions when we return." "Don't go anywhere." "?" "This is "the voice"" "welcome back to the blind auditions, where our next artist has a lot to prove -- and not just to the coaches." "My name is mathai." "I'm 18 years old, and I'm from Dallas, Texas." "My dad's a psychiatrist, and my mom's a nurse, and my brother's studying to be a doctor, so, naturally, it was expected I would be, you know, in the medical field." "But last year, I just woke up, and I was like, "I'm supposed to do music."" "How you feeling?" "This is seriously crazy, but, oh, my gosh, I love it." "How has it been for you guys?" "How are you feeling about mathai's dream?" "It's very hard." "It's hard for you?" "In what way?" "I'm in such a conservative community that it's hard for them to explain to other people, "my daughter is not studying in school right now." ""She's actually gonna be a singer, and she's not gonna be a nurse."" "I want her to be happy." "I want her to do what's -- you know, what's in her, and I think singing is what she really enjoys doing." "Before mathai gets to audition, our next singer, 31-year-old Eric tipton, gets his shot at being judged strictly on his voice." "I'm a 6-foot, 300-pound white guy that sings old-school soul music." "I grew up in a really small town, and everyone listened to country music, but my parents listened to soul music." "People are very surprised when they hear my voice because they see the image first, and then the voice comes out." "The image plays a giant role." "And that's why "the voice"" "is such a cool opportunity." "It's difficult when your son, you know, wants to make a career of music." "Was that tough for you?" "I think it's something that he wanted to do, you know, at a young age, and we support him 100%." "When I was a kid, my relationship with my dad was rough." "We didn't get along very well." "There were times that we, you know, wouldn't speak or we were in incredibly harsh arguments together." "So it's really cool for me now to have my dad be incredibly encouraging and to have him here and have him be so excited for me to be here." "It's a beautiful thing for me." "I think it's a major advantage that the coaches can't see me because my music is all about soul, and so if you can make them feel something, then you don't need to have an image." ""You make my dreams come true"" "?" "What I want, you've got, and it might be hard to handle ?" "1987 01:50: 01:50:51,343 ?" "Like a flame that burns the candle ?" "?" "The candle feeds the flame ?" "Oh, yeah, yeah, what I got's full stock ?" "?" "Of thoughts and dreams that scatter ?" "?" "You pull them all together ?" "And how, I can't explain" "?" "Oh, yeah, yeah, well, you ?" "You make my dreams come true" "?" "Oh, now, just listen to this" "?" "I'm down on my daydream come on." "Turn around." "?" "The sleepwalk should be over by now ?" "?" "I know, I know, I know, I know ?" "?" "Now, you" "?" "You make my dreams come true" "?" "And I've been waiting, just waiting for you ?" "?" "You make my dreams come true" "oh." "Big dawg." "What's up, guys?" "What's up, man?" "What's your name?" "Eric tipton." "What up, "e"?" "Where you from, big dawg?" "Dallas, Texas." "Okay." "Man, we're just down to them critical times where you got to sing these original songs like -- you know, Daryl hall comes to mind -- a vision of that video, every childhood memory I've spent with that song." "It's one of my favorite songs." "So, you know what I'm saying?" "So, like, when I hear something that I love, I'm back here, like, doing the other part." "?" "Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-doo ?" "Oh, yeah." "Definitely." "It's so hard to divorce yourself from that original version, but if you can, then you break through." "You know what I mean?" "Oh, most definitely." "Yeah." "And that's the thing." "It's like -- and I got to applaud you for raising the bar for yourself, saying, like, "I'm just gonna do this, and I'm gonna kill it,"" "and you did a great job." "But still, like cee lo, I couldn't get there." "Thank you for coming, bro." "Thank you." "I like him." "He was good, though." "I feel bad." "Son." "Good job, man." "Good job." "You did great." "It was good." "You did great." "It's not gonna stop you from going." "No." "Not at all." "And it's good." "I love you." "Love you, too." "Eric didn't make a team, but he made his father proud." "?" "Rumour" "?" "Rumour has it he's the one I'm leaving you for ?" "And it looks like medical school will have to wait." "We are looking at a star." "?" "This is "the voice"" "night four of the blind auditions is winding down, and we've already seen some incredible talent." "With the coaches' teams nearly full, let's see if our last artist of the night, mathai, can turn a chair and prove to her parents she made the right decision choosing music over med school." "My parents' opinion means so much to me, and this is my chance to be like," ""I'm here." "I can do this." "I can sing." "I can take this somewhere." "Believe in me."" "Maybe I'm supposed to be a doctor or a nurse in the future, but right now, like, this is what I'm supposed to do." "?" "She, she ain't real ?" "She ain't gonna be able to love you like I will, no ?" "?" "She is a stranger ?" "You and I have history, or don't you remember?" "?" "?" "Sure, she's got it all" "?" "But, baby, is that really what you want?" "?" "Come on." "?" "Bless your soul, you got your head in the clouds ?" "?" "You made a fool out of you ?" "And, boy, she's bringing you down ?" "?" "She made your heart melt, but she's cold to the core ?" "?" "Now rumour has it she ain't got your love anymore ?" "?" "Rumour has it, yeah ?" "Rumour ?" "Like when we creep out, and she ain't around ?" "?" "Haven't you heard the rumours?" "?" "?" "Bless your soul, you got your head in the clouds ?" "?" "You made a fool out of me" "?" "Boy, you're bringing me down ?" "You made my heart melt, I'm cold to the core ?" "?" "But rumour has it I'm the one you're leaving her for ?" "?" "Rumour has it, yeah, rumour ?" "Rumour has it he's the one I'm leaving you for ?" "Thank you." "Whoo!" "Ho-ho!" "Attention -- we are looking at a star right here, huh?" "What's your name?" "Mathai." "Well, mathai, um, I don't know if you noticed this big light shining here on the front of my podium." "It means I really, really like you a lot." "And I would really like for you to be on my team because you don't sound like anybody else I've ever heard before, and that's important to me."
