"I'm from Providence, Rhode Island." "My family is super-Italian." "My nana was cooking all the time." "And my family owned this Italian-wedding-type venue." "If you ever watched "The Godfather,"" "it was kind of that vibe." "I was a late bloomer to music." "Senior year, a friend of mine asked me if I wanted to join the band... honestly, because I had long hair." "Our house became ground zero for the band, so I had to bring in more wattage to feed the amps." "I just loved having them all at my house, practicing." "Great bunch of kids and great music." "Johnny G.:" "One day, I remember sitting in my car, and Taylor Swift's first single came on." "Her voice was kind of pop, but the production was cool and country." "I was thinking, "I bet you the guy that is working on this music will understand our band."" "So, 18-hour drive, Providence to Nashville, to meet this producer." "Within three months, though, we had a big showcase at a record label in New York City, and they signed us." "This is an amazing story." "Dude, it was the best day of my life." "Why are you here?" "Like other rock-'n'-roll stories, we started working on an album." "Two years went by, and then we kind of found ourselves, like, on a shelf." "In 2015, we moved to L.A." "A month later, I got a phone call from our booking agent at the time." "Said, "Would you guys want to go on the road with Rod Stewart this summer?"" "And I was like, "Hell yeah." "Like, yeah." "Yes." "Now." "Yeah."" "There's no feeling in the world like walking onstage, playing an arena." "Absolute dream come true." "At the moment, the band is on hold, and I've been playing solo gigs around town." "I'm 31 now." "I can't be chasing this forever." "I really do feel like this is my last big shot." "I'm singing a Rod Stewart song." "On tour, I got to hear "Maggie May" every single night." "It's a pretty special moment for me." "I've been fortunate enough to have a couple chances, but it's always just been so close." "Today, it feels different." "I think this is gonna be the time." "Johnny's gonna be right there." "Yeah, but where are the chairs?" "Right there." "The chairs are there." "Oh, we see..." "we look over there?" "Yeah." "Okay, it's happening." "This is about to happen." "Inspire me."

"Wow." "Well, I pressed right away because I just loved your voice." "So much control, so much patience." "You didn't have any nerves." "I think that what's exciting about this right here... me and you... and I've said this, like, a bunch of times, but..." "Yeah." "[Laughter]" "Oh." "The first kind of nasty thing he's done." "Yeah." "It's okay." "I love you." "Aww." "So cute." "[Laughter]" "Gwen:" "Blake has never lived your dream the way that I've lived your dream." "But I want to." "[Laughter]" "Take it easy, Blake." "It's his dream to be a 16-year-old girl." "You're actually younger than I was when I started my band." "I was 17." "I should share all of the incredible things that happened to me with a young girl that has a gift like you do." "I think you're incredible." "Mm-hmm." "I need somebody like you on my team." "I really, really do." "Thank you so much." "[Cheers and applause]" "I'm a coach that's had a lot of success with young talent." "And yes, I haven't lived the girl dream, but I want to." "[Laughter]" "And I want to know why girls just want to have fun..." "[Laughter] ...in my heart." "And I need somebody like you..." "You're so stupid." "...to be on my team, to take me on your journey with you." "I'll help you through this show." "You help me live the girl dream." "Come on." "Let's do this." "Thank you." "[Applause]" "I think it's super-weird that he says that he wants to live that dream." "I'm just gonna on record and say that." "But I'm also gonna ask you a very important question, Caroline." "I'm confident." "Caroline, who do you pick as your coach?" "[Indistinct shouting]" "Come on." "You guys are both such amazing artists, and I am so incredibly honored that you turned around for me." "But I pick Gwen." "Me?" "!" "Oh, my God!" "Wow." "Wow!" "[Cheers and applause]" "Thank you." "Gwen:" "I'm so happy Caroline picked me." "She had such an ease to her voice, and she seemed like she was really just in the moment of the song, which is rare." "Guess I'll never know now." "Thank you so much." "Gwen:" "I still can't believe she's 16 and still can't believe I beat Blake on this one." "I don't care why girls just want to have fun!" "[Laughs]" "Tell me why girls just want to have fun." "[Chuckles]" "♪ Oh, Maggie, I couldn't have tried anymore ♪" "Daly:" "You can buy full versions of tonight's blind-audition songs on iTunes... ♪ Oh, girls, they want to have fun ♪ ...or listen to them on Apple Music." "Coming up..." "I hope all the coaches turn their chairs." "...a family man takes one last shot at his dream..." "I love you, too, honey." "I love you so much." "...and gives Blake one last shot at getting an artist." "I don't have anybody like you on my team." "Oh, yes, you do." "You have a couple of people." "What are you talking about?" "Come on, Josh!" "I pick... ♪ This is "The Voice" ♪" "Daly:" "Welcome back to the blind auditions." "Please be good." "Please be good." "Please be good." "Let's see if Blake can finally get in the game with this next artist." "Girl:" "Whoo!" "Ah!" "Help me, Ma." "[Chuckles]" "I'm Josh Hoyer." "I'm 40 years old." "I'm from Lincoln, Nebraska." "My wife and I, Sarah, we've been together for 10 years, and we have two beautiful little girls..." "Eva Leigh and Clara." "I've always been drawn to singing and dancing and playing music." "And currently, I'm a working musician, and I bartend at the Zoo Bar." "The Zoo Bar is a blues and roots music club." "What can I get for you guys?" "I'm very lucky to have the bartending gig." "It allows you to have that flexibility." "About four years ago, I started a band called Josh Hoyer SoulColossal." "We're a funk/soul/RB band." "Last year, we did 150 shows in 32 states." "The fun part is playing, but you still have to balance your responsibilities as a parent." "Hey, all right!" "Ohh!" "That's awesome!" "You guys look happy." "We are." "It's extremely difficult financially to make it work as a touring musician." "You're gone so much." "And that's something you battle with, uh..." "Clara:" "I love my dad so much." "I hope that all the coaches turn their chairs." ""The Voice" opportunity has come in at the tail end of a lot of struggles." "This is the time... now." "Today I'm gonna do "Oh Girl" by the The Chi-Lites." "This is a story about a man that had everything and then he's losing it." "For me to think about my wife and my kids... it definitely makes you appreciate what you do have." "I love you, too, honey." "I want to show my girls that if you believe in yourself and you work hard enough... good things can happen." "There's Dad." "There's Dad." "There's Dad." "There he is."

"You have a lot of soulful wisdom in your voice, and I was like, "Man."" "I felt like you'd have a big, white beard, but I guess it's a normal-colored beard." "That's cool." "[Laughter]" "I'm so happy you're in this competition, man." "Good job." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Gwen:" "I was so enjoying your performance." "I don't have anybody like you on my team and..." "Oh, yes, you do." "You have a couple of people just like him." "What are you talking about?" "[Laughter]" "Okay, that's a lie." "I'm just trying to..." "[Laughs]" "Hey, Josh." "How you doing?" "I just felt like "This guy deserves to be on this show,"" "and if he's gonna be on this show, he may as well be on..." "the winning team,"" "so I was like, "I'm hitting my button."" "But, man, I'd love to have a chance to work with you." "And we're all gonna say that there's nobody like you on our teams 'cause there's nobody like you on the show." "[Laughing] Ah." "[Cheers and applause]" "So, Josh, who are some of your influences?" "Otis..." "Yeah." "...Curtis, James Brown." "Oh, that sounds right to me." "That's the beautiful thing about music... like, there's no limits to where it can go and where it can reach, you know?" "Absolutely." "Beautiful job tonight." "That was cool." "Thank you." "Thank you." "[Applause]" "What would you want out of a coach?" "As a father and a husband," "I'm kind of tired of playing the bars." "Music's something I think that our world needs right now, and that's why I'm sticking with this." "This is my shot here, I think." "[Cheers and applause]" "I was in my band for nine years." "We were doing music because we had to do it." "Like, it was in us." "And I do understand what it's like to be a working parent." "That's what I struggle with all the time." "I could definitely share my experiences with you, and I'd love to do that." "Thank you." "All right, I think it's time." "Who do you want to choose as your coach?" "[Indistinct shouting]" "Come on, Josh!" "[Shouting continues]" "I pick Blake." "Yeah!" "Aw!" "♪ Play that funky music, white boy ♪" "♪ Play that funky music right ♪" "All right!" "Go, Blake!" "Yeah!" "♪ Play that funky music, white boy ♪" "I finally won a battle with Gwen." "Great job, man." "Thank you, sir." "Appreciate it." "Happy for you, man." "I love how much character he has in his voice and how much soul he has." "Moving forward, I want to keep him in that lane." "Thank you very much for turning." "I appreciate it." "Gwen... she was speaking some truths to me, and I was like, "Oh, I hear you."" "Hey!" "But as far as where I'm at as a musician," "I think the wiser decision was with Blake." "[Light laughter]" "I feel like you don't like me anymore." "I don't." "I-I love you." "[Both laugh]" "If you guys work in a French kiss..." "French kiss." "I don't even hear that anymore." "[Laughing] I know." "What is..." ""What kind of kiss?" "A French kiss."" "Did the French invent that?" "[Laughs]" "It's like [French accent] "Why don't we try this?" "Maybe we will enjoy it.""
