[ Cheers and applause ]
You stop this, Chance.
-Whoa.
-That was incredible. What's your name?
Where you from? -My name's Alex Whalen.
Originally, I'm from London,
now residing in Indian Rocks Beach, Florida.
-You have a gorgeous, gorgeous voice.
When you go low, that's your superpower, man.
That storyteller in you, it's really nice.
And I'm so stoked to see you work with Chance.
It's just the coolest thing ever.
-It will be. That was really good, Kelly.
-Here's the part where you take up for me, son.
-Alright, let me -- let me tell you about my old man here.
Before he turned, he was singing every word.
He was all over it from minute one.
And I feel like this is right up his strada.
-Oh, what does that mean?
-"Street" in Italian. -Oh, okay.
That's your man.
[ Applause ]
-In all these years, I've never had a chance
to work with a country singer from London.
-Well, there you have it.
-And I like it, Alex. I like it a lot.
And you've braided your beard nicely for television.
I mean, you just look badass.
Listen, man, I'm gonna go ahead and say it.
This is my last season as a coach on this show,
and I want you on my last team.
-But this is actually my last season, too.
No, I'm just kidding. But...
I honestly think your voice is just so unique, man.
Your tone, like, you're a natural tenor,
but you can move around.
And then I like your swag, man.
I like the hat. I like the glasses on the hat.
And I think that you could do well with Chance the Rapper.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-I think what's interesting, too, to keep in your mind is...
-Oh, this'll be good. -...what team are you gonna
stand out on?
You might find people that are in a similar lane on one team,
and on the other one, you might stand out.
I'm just saying. -Kelly has chosen
to not be a part of your life in any way...
-And yet I'm still trying to help you. -...shape or form.
-By not hitting her button... -I'm just kind.
-...she chose to not be a part of your life.
-I'm totally gonna miss him. -Mm-hmm.
-I'm hopefully taking over from him.
[ Laughter ]
It really doesn't matter what team you pick.
You're gonna do really well because you already have your sound.
But who do you pick as your coach?
-Come on, Alex.
-Well, this is a tough one.
Um...
