-What is wrong with you?
-What're you talking about?
-Is this thing on?
Oh, my God, I'm so happy right now.
That was incredible.
-Thank you.
-Are you from Mississippi?
-How did you know?
-[ Laughs ] -My name is Holly Brand.
I'm 22 years old, and I'm from Meridian, Mississippi.
-I nearly hit my button on your first note.
-Long enough for me to actually figure it out before him.
-Please, Kelly, come on. Give me a chance.
You remind me so much of my good friend Maren Morris.
-Oh, my God.
-I've spent a lot of time in the States over the years
and become very, very, very, very fond of country music.
And country always leads into storytelling,
and I tend to do that.
Your voice, the control was just unbelievable.
I'm telling you, we're gonna do big things together
if you come with me.
Please!
-It's hard to come after that.
You hit every note spot-on.
The whistle note took me out.
-And she took it up. Doo-doop!
-Like a couple octaves.
You -- You have a-a crazy control of your vocal range,
and I think if you get down with me,
you're obviously gonna win.
-Thank you, Chance. -No, I -- Here's the thing.
I love Maren, but I heard like a mix of, like, Faith Hill
and, like, Carrie Underwood.
-Oh, my gosh. -We don't have that really,
that kind of voice right now in country music.
And I'm such a fan. I grew up on it.
I definitely know a hell of a lot more than these two.
Well, since Blake's deaf... you can win with me.
I-I love your voice so much. -Wait a minute.
-I have a really cute jacket.
-I know -- -Why are you talking?
You didn't even turn.
-I actually have a really cool story about you.
I brought something that I wanted to show you.
-Is this an ancestry.com test? [ Laughter ]
-You are the father. [ Laughs ]
-When I was 10, I got to open for you in concert.
That concert was, like, the moment that I realized
that I wanted to be an artist. -Whoa.
-I have the picture. I just wanted to show you.
-I got goose bumps. -That's crazy.
-That's us. -Oh, my God.
-Oh, my God. I want to see. I love kid pics.
Oh, my gosh. -Hello. I'm Niall, your coach.
[ Laughter ]
-That's so cute. -I've got no one on my team.
This is my first season,
and you're the best thing that's walked out here.
-I want to say something to you
before these guys get back into it.
I would pick Niall.
-Geez.
-That's why you should vote for me -- I mean, be on my team.
[ Laughter ]
-Okay, Holly.
-We're gonna win this thing, okay?
-Who do you choose as your coach?
[ Audience shouting ]
[ Dramatic music plays ]
-I don't know. I don't know.

-Um...
I appreciate all of you turning.
But I think I'm gonna have to go with Kelly.
-Yes!
Oh, my God. I love you. -[ Laughs ]
-Oh, my God! I'm so excited.
