"Tonight on "The Voice"..." "The blind auditions continue as the best singers in the nation give it their all, hoping to make a coach's team." "Being 51 years old," "I think you're looked upon as dated." "I'm here to prove that theory wrong." "To have a coach give me an ounce of that knowledge would be so helpful and amazing." "Our coaches only have 12 spots each..." "I do want the 12 people on my team to be amazing." "And they'll compete hard for the artists they love." "I can help you win this thing." "I did have success before Maroon 5." "Quite naturally, you belong with me." "It's not fair, 'cause everybody likes Cee Lo more than us." "Each coach has been building their team based only on gut instinct." "You come across as a real artist." "I come from that same spirit, and I connect with you." "♪ Tell me something good ♪" "Adam has added some powerhouse singers." "I don't think that there's any real limitations as far as what you can do." "I am thrilled with how my team is shaping up." "Like, that's all I care about... getting the best voices on my team." "♪ I got a pink guitar, a Lincoln Town car ♪" "Blake has remained true to his roots... ♪ Stay?" "♪" "I'm your country guy." "Gaining two incredible country artists... ♪ Why you want to go and make things... ♪ and scoring Alicia Keys' backup singer." "Whoo!" "I want to be able to hear a style that sets them apart from their own genre." "♪ Yeah ♪" "Christina's strategy is to build a vocally diverse team..." " Yes!" " From Gospel..." "To country to opera." "♪ Vincerai ♪" "Whoo!" "All of my team members are so diverse... genre, music, style." "It's actually taken me by surprise." "♪ You're the right kind of sinner ♪" "And Cee Lo has been filling his team with artists as unique as he is..." "I heard the story of my life, you know, in your voice." "Landing three incredible rockers." "I pick individuals who want to be adaptable enough and are willing to open up really wide." "The coaches' teams are filling up fast." "Which artists will they discover this week?" "The blind auditions start right now." "As our coaches take their seats..." "Yeah!" "Play along and see if you would pick this next artist based strictly on their voice." "I am 27 years old, and I'm from Houston, Texas." "People are definitely surprised when they hear my singing voice because it just doesn't match what they see." "I've had a couple of opportunities with recording companies." "The one thing I heard repeatedly was I wasn't marketable, you know, with my appearance." "And both times, both different labels said that they would agree to sign me if I agreed to just have a completely different look." "Getting judged that way is very disheartening because no one really cares what's coming out." "They just care what they're looking at." "I would love to just be me and look like me and that just be okay." "That's why "The Voice" is so perfect for me." "I want this terribly." "It's not all about looks." ""The Voice" really has given me an opportunity." "I feel like I could actually break through, and this could be my chance." "♪ It's been a long time since I came around ♪" "♪ Been a long time, but I'm back in town ♪" "♪ This time I'm not leaving without you ♪" "♪ You said sit back down where you belong ♪" "♪ In the corner of my bar with your high heels on ♪" "♪ Sit back down on the couch ♪" "♪ Where we made love the first time ♪" "♪ And you said to me ♪" "♪ Something ♪" "♪ Something about this place ♪" "♪ Something ♪" "♪ About lonely nights and my lipstick on your face ♪" "♪ Something ♪" "♪ Something about my cool Nebraska guy ♪" "Oh, come on, come on."

"♪ You and I ♪" "♪ It's been a long time since I came around ♪" "♪ Been a long time, but I'm back in town ♪" "♪ This time ♪" "♪ I'm not leaving ♪" "♪ Without you ♪" "That was so lovely." "What's your name?" "My name is Sarah Golden." "Sarah." "That was so sweet, Sarah." "I really enjoyed that, but I heard a little bit of a twang in your voice that I thought was perfect for somebody here, but I'm not gonna name names 'cause I know Cee Lo turned his chair around, too." "Man, I heard a lot of... a lot of things I liked in your voice." "I did." "Thank you." "Thank you very much." "It's unique." "It doesn't sound like anybody else." "And it's just so honest-sounding." "I mean, you just have an honest sound." "I don't know how else to explain it, but aside from being a great singer with great pitch and all those things," "I mean, you just..." "it's so real and refreshing." " Thank you." " Made me hit my button." " Look at that." "My light's lit up." " I appreciate it." "I love it." "Thank you so, so much." " Hi, Sarah." " Hi." " Where you from?" " Houston, Texas." "Do you consider yourself a country singer?" "No." "I actually..." "I'm a folk..." "I'm a folk singer." "I loved..." "I love the song." "You did a great rendition of it." "Thank you." "So, and, then, of course, it's like, technically," "I want to just make sure that my team is diverse." "You know what I'm saying?" "Like, because I also want to challenge myself, as well, grow as an artist, so that's always an agenda of mine... to stretch out and see what's possible." "This show does represent possibility, and I'd like for you to, you know, be on my team with me." "Thank you so much." "Thank you very, very much." "So, in other words," "Cee Lo would like for you to be an experiment... on his team, where I feel confident enough..." " That's cold, man." " That's cold." " In you..." "As you are..." "To put you on my team and take you to the end of this thing." "I mean, I..." "What's your pick?" "Okay." "All right, people." "Dang." "Okay." "Uh..." "Oh, I... man, I'm sorry." "I only want who wants me." "I only want who wants me." "No, I mean, I want you both." "Oh, you can't handle us both, baby." "All right." "All right." "I'm gonna go with Cee Lo." "You picked me?" "Oh, thank you." " I enjoyed you, baby." "Thank you." "Okay." " Thank you." " Thank you very much." " Cool." "Cool." "Sarah!" "Congratulations." " Thank you." "Thank you." " Good luck to you." "I try to be the guy that's honest and say something that's from the heart, and, you know, Cee Lo pours out the bullcrap, you know?" "A lot of people don't realize" "Cee Lo is normally asleep during this show, and that's why he wears the big sunglasses." "He passes out, and he wakes up in time enough, you know, to blurt out something from Cee Lo land." "Oh, my God!" "Oh!" "Oh, my God!" "Oh, my God." "I'm so excited." "I thought you were gonna go Blake there for a second." " I really..." "I didn't know." " And then, like, Cee Lo, at the end," " Just kind of sold it." " I know." "It's just..." "he was inappropriate, and I was like, "All right." "We're gonna hang."" "Oh." "Then you're gonna love each other." "It's on now." "I was trying to be your friend." "Hey-oh!" "Cee Lo adds folk singer Sarah Golden." "Up next, 19-year-old Elley Duhe is here to prove that the sacrifices she and her family have made for her music are worth it." "I started singing about four years ago." "I did a lot of open-mikes, and then I started doing shows." "Life for me wasn't typical teenage years because I did music all the time." "That's all I ever did." "When kids are preparing for where they want to go to college, my parents, they'd take me out of school." "They would drive me to gigs that I had to go to that were far away." "This is it." "This is your big chance." "I think you can do it." "They realized how important this was to me, but I had to make a choice of what I really wanted to do, so my senior year, I decided to quit school." "So, what do you do when Elley comes to you guys... and you're an educator..." "and says, "Hey, I want to... you know, I've got this music." "I want to pursue that"?" "As parents, what do you say?" "Well, you know, it's not an easy decision to make, you know?" "But I told her, you know, maybe it would be better for her to homeschool and just keep going with music because she's got a lot of talent, and down the road, she may decide herself" "that she wants to go back and pursue that." "I am so grateful to have my parents' support." "I mean, that's just, like, the best feeling in the world because I'm here to make a better life for me and my family and do what I love to do."

"She did a great job." "You've got to be so proud of her." " I'm proud of her." "Absolutely." " Yes." "Oh, my gosh." "What's your name?" "My name is Elley." "Elley, that last note was so killer, and if I could go back in time," "I think we'd all press our buttons." "Oh, no." "Thank you, guys, so much." "I'm a big fan of all of y'all's, every single one, and this moment meant so much to me just to be here, so I'm glad I got to have it." " I'm glad I got to share it with you guys." " That's a great attitude." "You know what?" "I mean, how old are you?" "I'm 19." "I mean, you have the best attitude, and, honestly, to have that viewpoint of coming in here and being like, "I'm just happy to be here,"" "I mean, may we all take a lesson from being so humble and, you know, so gracious." "Let me just say that the only thing that kept me from pushing the button was the falsetto parts." "Seemed like that might have been where it got a little bit pitchy a little bit..." " Right." "Okay." "And that's the only reason." "But, man, you're the sweetest girl" "I've seen on this stage so far." " You really are." " Thank you." "Good luck to you, Elley." "Oh, thank you so much, guys." "So nice meeting y'all." "And thank y'all for listening." "Thank y'all for listening and enjoying it." "Yeah." "Can I give you a hug?" "So, so sweet." " Thank you, guys." " No problem." "Bye, Elley." "It's good to meet you." "Breaks my heart, man." "Yeah." "Elley surprised all of us with her last, extremely powerful note that would have converted all of us." "If she had a few more seconds," "I probably would have pressed my button." " Hey." " Hey." " We still love you, sweetheart." " Oh, thank you, guys." "I love y'all." "You did awesome." "You did great." " You did." " Hey, I had fun." "She was so cute, and she had a really interesting quality to her voice." "It's just we know we only have so many slots." "You really have to have that certain something that really raises the bar and makes us sit up and pay attention." "Coming up... ♪ Hey ♪ the coaches compete hard and stop at nothing to score the best artists for their teams." "You're the type of person that I have been sitting here waiting for." " Ooh, that's good." "I got time and attention." "When she wakes up before noon, she has plenty of time." "♪ This is "The Voice" ♪" "Welcome back to the blind auditions, where our coaches are picking artists based strictly on their voice." "Our next singer, 19-year-old Pip, thinks his sound may truly surprise some people." "I have been singing probably since before I could talk." "I'm almost more comfortable onstage than I am offstage." "I've had the lead in a couple shows in high school and in musical theater a lot." "Since I was young," "I like to push the envelope a little bit with my style." "I really like to take things and make them pop a little bit." "But the fact that my voice and my looks don't exactly go together has kind of kept me a little bit from certain things because people seem to not want to take me as seriously." "You have a great sense of style, Pip." " Thank you so much." " Where does that come from?" "I just kind of make stuff up as I go." "It's cool." "And I don't like to, like, blend in with the crowd, so..." "You got a great opportunity here at "The Voice."" "Crazy opportunity." "Amazing." "What do you think about our chairs?" " You know, they're not gonna be able to see you at all." " Right." "It really will just be about your voice." "I think it is an advantage for me just because I think a lot of people don't take me seriously when they see me 'cause I do look so young." "How old are you?" " I'm 19." " Okay." "I like to think that I have a much more mature voice, and I think, hopefully, them hearing me before they see me will be a good thing." " Right." "Being 19 and coming from a small town," "I don't really have a ton of opportunities except the small coffee shops and stuff I play around, so this could entirely change everything and put me in a big spotlight that would be amazing." "♪ There is a house ♪" "♪ In New Orleans ♪" "♪ They call the rising sun ♪" "♪ And it's been the ruin ♪" "♪ Of many a poor boy ♪" "♪ And, God, I know I'm one ♪" "Oh, my God!" "Oh, my God!"

" Pip." " Pip." " Yeah." " That's cool already." " That's a cool name, man." " Thank you." "I tell you what..." "I was not the first to push my button..." "I was, actually." "How would you like to be on a team with hardly any guys on it, man?" "I could really focus on the fact that you are a guy if you were on my team." "Thank you." "I got time and attention." " You got time and attention?" " I got time and attention." "When she wakes up before noon, she has plenty of time." "Hey, you know what?" "Nobody knows how to work harder and be up earlier than a mother, okay?" "I give time and attention." "You mother." " How old are you, first off?" " I'm 19." " You're 19!" " Yes, ma'am." " You got an old soul, Pip." " Thank you." "What a cool irony to turn around, and it's you, so young and fresh-looking, and you did a great job." " Thank you so much." "And off that alone, I felt like, "This guy knows his music."" "And what a great song choice and a great delivery, and I really enjoyed it." " Yeah, man." "I mean, it takes a real man to wear a bow tie, first of all." " I like that." " Yeah." "And, in a way, you are what epitomizes this show because I had no idea what to expect when I turned around, and that's always my favorite thing... is to turn around and see someone who is the exact opposite of what I expected," "and that's the kind of person that I want to work with." "You seem like you'd be a chameleon." "You could do pretty much anything and affect people and impact people, and that's why I think I'd be great, man." "I could be great for you." "I really do." "Awesome." "Awesome." "It's odd to me that Adam says "Chameleon."" "That kind of means, like, he's gonna monkey around with you a little bit." "Like, you know, one day, you're doing something weird, and the next day, you're doing something sucky." "I wouldn't go with a coach that would experiment with my life like that." "I'm just saying." "He's probably right." "He's probably right." "You know, obviously, my track record, you know, shows that I'm not a good coach." "Ooh." "Oh." " Blake has a pretty phenomenal track record." " I got to use what I can use." "I have a pretty phenomenal track record myself." "I've been doing this for many, many years." "And you know what?" "I did have success before Maroon 5 came along, so, you know, let's not really talk about that." "Low blows!" "Low blows!" "Hey, you know why?" "'Cause I'm a fighter!" "And I will fight for your ass." "Thank you." "So, who do you pick?" "Oh, my gosh." "This is so hard." "I'd never have thought all four of y'all would turn around, like, in a million years." "Um..." "♪ This is "The Voice" ♪" "Welcome back to the blind auditions." "Before the break, 19-year-old Pip won over our coaches with his unique version of "House of The Rising Sun."" "♪ My mother was a tailor ♪" "With all four chairs turned..." "What a cool irony to turn around, and it's you, so young and fresh-looking, and you did a great job." "You are what epitomizes this show because I had no idea what to expect when I turned around." "And that's why I think I'd be great for you." " I really do." " You know what?" "I'm a fighter!" "And I will fight for your ass." "Oh, my gosh." "This is so hard." "The power is in Pip's hands." "He must now pick a coach." "So, who do you pick?" "I'd never have thought all four of y'all would turn around, like, in a million years." "Um..." "I think I'm just gonna have to go with Adam 'cause he was the first one." "Boo!" "Thank you so much." "Thank you so much." " You did great." "You did great." " Thank you." "Awesome." "I feel very privileged to have Pip on my team." "He's awesome." "Yeah!" "He's diverse." "He had one of those voices that was so unique," "I couldn't really put a face to it, which is awesome." "Oh, my God!" "Oh, my God!" "I cannot believe all four turned around!" "I still, like, can't really believe that happened." "You absolutely blew the roof off the place." "Thank you so much." " Congratulations, Pip." "Welcome to "The Voice."" " Thank you so much." " It's great to have you." " Thank you." "Thank you." "All right." "Way to go, guys." "Adam's got the sale." "He's a salesman." "I don't feel the need to be a salesman, Per Se, but I still don't feel threatened at all." "Adam convinces Pip to join his team over the other three coaches'." "Suck it, y'all." "Will our next artist also turn a coach's chair?" "Go, team Erin." "My name is Erin Willett." "I'm 22 years old, and I'm from Gaithersburg, Maryland." "Hi, Erin." "Who do you have here?" " This is my mom..." " Nice to see you." " And my dad, Chuck." " How are you, sir?" " How are you?" " Nice to see you." "So, your singing started, really, right here with dad, right?" " Yeah." " Going back?" "He always used to play, like, piano and just made sure that my life was kind of always filled with music and passed that on to me." " Wow." "That's great." " What do you think of her voice now?" " Oh, it's fantastic." "I mean, you know, it's the greatest voice in the world, to me." "The relationship I have with my father is insane friendship." "He can be one of my craziest friends, as well be the biggest mentor." "He's awesome." "Let me see." "You look good." " Does it look good?" " Solid." "About a month and a half ago, I found out that my father was diagnosed with stage IV pancreatic cancer." "He looked me in the eye and said," ""I'm going to be dying of cancer,"" "and that's really hard to hear." "I sit here with tears welling up in my eyes, but I feel like I can't be upset." "I don't want to look at him as a dying person." "Like, he's still here." "He has such a positive attitude on it, and I feel like I cannot bring him down with my sadness that one day, he won't be here, but today's not that day." "As horrible as this situation might be, it is such a blessing to have "The Voice" be a wonderful distraction." "This is actually for my dad, my mom to have something to look forward to and stay positive about, and it gives my dad a chance to see me live my dream." "Thank you." "Yay, Erin!"

" Thank you, guys!" " She's on team Blake." " Oh." "Ohh!" " Excellent." " She's on the show." " Thank you." "You bet." "You bet." "She looked great out there." "I love you so much." "I love you." "Me too." "I love you, too." "I love you so much." "Oh, you looked wonderful." "I can't believe I'm going to the next round." "Yay!" "You're going to the next round!" "I'm so glad you're proud." "Of course we're proud." "Oh, my gosh." "I love you, daddy." "I love you, too." "Coming up, Cee Lo works his charm." "You look like a wonderful creature of a woman."

"We traveled the country to find the best singers and give them the opportunity of a lifetime." "Hollywood and Highland." "Turn right onto West Olympic Boulevard." "I'm here in Los Angeles, on my way to meet a talented young artist named Katrina Parker." "I'm gonna break her out of her 9:00-to-5:00 grind in a cubicle with an invitation to "The Voice's" blind auditions." "I'm Katrina Parker." "I'm an underwriting assistant, and we do all of the glamorous administration involved in that." "Some copying, some scanning, some filing... anything administrative is what I do... all the fun stuff." "Most of my co-workers do not know that I'm a singer." "I feel like until they can see me do it," "I don't want to tell them about it, 'cause a lot of people just think that you say you're a singer, but you're not necessarily very good at it." "That's her." "Hey, Katrina, could you file this... under "personal," please?" " What?" "!" "Are you kidding me?" " Congratulations." "That's your invitation to the blind auditions." "Oh, my God!" "Thank you so much!" "Oh, my God." " We have got to get you out of here." " Wow!" "That's awesome." "Thank you." "You're welcome." " What?" " Open it up." " Oh, my God." " There they are."

"Thank you so much." "It was insane." "It was so much fun, and I was completely shocked." "I think I might have acted like a complete ninny for about 10 minutes." "It was one of those moments you never forget." "As Katrina heads to the blind auditions, our next artist, 28-year-old David Grace, is ready to hit the stage." "I grew up playing football." "Music was always in my family." "My father played for many years, but I stayed the sports route." "The school I played football for was Texas AM University-Kingsville." "While I was there, we won four conference championships in a row." "After I played college football, I became a football coach." "After I finished my first year of coaching," "I just decided to go buy a guitar one day, and I've been singing for about three years now, full time." "Oh, I'm very proud of him..." "very proud." "He's following in his dad's footsteps." "I would have never thought it with him because he was such a football guy... just football, football, football, but he was always driven, and I was always proud of him for that." "Yeah, I definitely don't look like the average singer at all." "Yeah, usually I get "security"" "or, you know, "What are you..." "a UFC fighter?"" "Or, you know, something like that." "But, you know, I just try to..." "I try to go out there and do the best I can and hope the people like it." "My song is "Sweet Home Alabama,"" "and I really think half the battle is already won with just the song, so I'm excited." "I work very hard at what I do." "I'm good at it."

"There were some of those bendy moments that maybe were happening a little too much that kind of took me out of it for a second." "A little too much sliding up, and so it was more of, like, a stylistic thing that was kind of clashing with me a little bit." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Good luck to you, man." "He wanted you."
