>> THANK
>> THANK YOU. >>> I'M SO IMPRESSED BY YOU I HAD TO SAVE YOU.
I FELT REALLY BAD ABOUT IT
BECAUSE YOU'RE SO TALENTED AND
EVERYONE WAS VERY TALENTED BUT
MY INITIAL MEMBERS ARE THE
BLINDS I WAS LIKE SO LOYAL TO
THEM.
BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, I
HAVE BEEN Y'ALL AND I JUST FELT
LIKE IT JUST REALLY SHOWED ME
THAT YOU ARE LIKE AN OVERALL
POWERFUL ENTERTAINER.
THERE WAS SOMETHING SPECIFIC
AND SPECIAL AND COMPLETELY
DIFFERENT.
NO ONE IS IN YOUR LANE AT ALL
ON THE SHOW.
THAT IS WIDE OPEN.
AND IT WAS JUST REALLY WELL
DONE.
>> WE AGREE.
BUFFALO IN THE SPOTLIGHT AGAIN
TONIGHT AS CAMI CLUNE, A
WESTERN NEW YORK NATIVE WILL
TAKE THE STAGE LIVE THIS TIME
ON NATIONAL TV.
OUR HOMETOWN GIRL WAS IN THE
TOP NINE ON THE VOICE THAT YOU
WILL SEE HERE TONIGHT ON
CHANNEL 2:00.
>> IT IS CRAZY TO THINK ABOUT
BUT, YOU KNOW, IT WENT FROM
MILLIONS OF PEOPLE TO 80 TO 40
AND NOW TOP 9. IT IS WILD.
IT IS SO WEIRD TO BE LIKE --
I'M THE ONLY PERSON EVER FROM
BUFFALO TO MAKE IT THIS FAR ON
THIS SHOW OR ANY SHOW LIKE THIS
I THINK.
AT LEAST THE VOICE.
BUT IT IS CRAZY.
I AM SO THANKFUL I CAN
REPRESENT BUFFALO AND SO
THANKFUL THAT PEOPLE ARE
SUPPORTING ME AND TAKING ME IN
AS, YOU KNOW, THE FACE OF
BUFFALO RIGHT NOW.
I AM THANKFUL FOR ALL OF THE
SUPPORT AND KEEP VOTING.
>> YES.
KEEP VOTING.
THAT IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT
TONIGHT BECAUSE THE VOICE IS
GOING UP AGAINST THE BUFFALO
BILLS AND MONDAY NIGHT
FOOTBALL.
>> IF YOU THINK WE ARE EXCITED,
THINK HOW EXCITED OR GUEST IS.
THIS IS HER MOM, PATTY.
>> THANK YOU FOR ME.
>> FIRST OF ALL WE ARE A LITTLE
OVER TWO HOURS FROM THE FIRST
LIVE SHOW OF THE SEASON.
LAST WEEK WE FEATURED CAMI AND
I SAID THEN, IT IS NOT OFTEN
YOU GET TO WATCH A STAR RISE.
BUT THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT IS
HAPPENING RIGHT NOW.
HOW ARE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
FEELING ABOUT IT TONIGHT?
>> WE ARE NERVOUS.
WE ARE SO NERVOUS.
NOT KNOWING IS HARD.
LIKE WE HAVE KNOWN SINCE AUGUST
FOR HALF OF THE SHOWS AND
KEEPING IT A SECRET AND NOW, I
AM SO NERVOUS.
I CAN'T WATCH IT WITH PEOPLE.
I SIT IN A ROOM AND CLOSE THE
DOOR.
I AM REALLY NERVOUS.
I AM CONFIDENT BUT ARE YOU
NERVOUS.
IT IS NATIONAL TELEVISION, YOU
KNOW.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
I AM NERVOUS AND I NEVER MET
CAMI FACE-TO-FACE.
I LOOK FORWARD TO IT ONE DAY.
WE WANT WANT TO TALK ABOUT
VOTING TONIGHT.
CAN YOU TELL US HOW CAMI
APPEARED THERE AND HER PASSION
FOR MUSIC AND SHE IS BEING
COACHED BY KELLY CLARKSON.
>> I KNOW.
SHE HAS BEEN SINGING SINCE WAS
MAYBE 9. BUT NOT UNTIL 11 DID
SHE TAKE IT SERIOUSLY.
SHE WAS IN MUSICAL THEATRE.
SHE WAS GOING BE ON BROADWAY
SHE SAID.
ABOUT 16 SHE GOT SICK AND HAD
TO TONE IT DOWN WITH THE
PHYSICAL ACTIVITY BECAUSE IT
WAS A PHYSICAL PROBLEM.
AND SHE GOT DEPRESSED BECAUSE
SHE MISSED WHAT SHE LOVED SO
WELL, SO MUCH.
SO SHE DOVE INTO REALLY JUST
PURE MUSIC AND REALLY STARTED
TO FIND HER VOICE AND
AUDITIONED AND KIND OF TALKED
TO THEM FOR A COUPLE YEARS BACK
AND FORTH.
I THINK THIS IS HER THIRD OR
FOURTH TIME THEY BROUGHT HER
OUT.
LOOK AT HER NOW.
SHE IS GOING RIGHT THROUGH.
IT IS CRAZY.
SO, YEAH.
>> IT IS SO INSPIRING TO WATCH
HER PERFORM AND THE VOICE IS UP
AGAINST A BIG OPPONENT OF ITS
OWN TONIGHT T BUFFALO BILLS ON
MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL AND
THERE'S A WORRY IT CAN IMPACT
VOTING.
WE WANT CAMI TO MAKE IT TO THE
TOP FOUR.
SO THE GOOD NEWS IS YOU DON'T
HAVE TO CHOOSE.
CAN YOU WATCH THE GAME AND VOTE
FOR CAMI.
THE EASIEST WAY IS TO DOWNLOAD
THE APP OR GO TO NBC.COM SLASH
VOICE VOTE.
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO TELL
EVERYBODY WHO IS WATCHING
TONIGHT AHEAD OF TONIGHT ABOUT
THE IMPORTANCE OF VOTING?
>> I MEAN, IT IS DOWN TO PUBLIC
VOTING.
IN THE BEGINNING IT STARTS OUT
THE CELEBRITY COACHES MAKING
THE DECISION.
NOW IT IS ALL PUBLIC VOTE.
THEY EVEN MIGHT BE A SAVE
TOMORROW SO TONIGHT IS FOUR
TEAMS, ONE WOMAN FROM EACH
TEAM.
TOMORROW THOSE WINNERS ARE
ANNOUNCED AND THERE'S FOUR
PEOPLE THAT DIDN'T MAKE IT,
THERE WILL BE A PUBLIC VOTE
SAVE.
SO IT IS ALL VOTING.
IT IS NOT, YOU KNOW, THE JUDGES
SAVING YOU OR TRADING YOU OR
STEALING YOU, WHATEVER THAT IS.
SO IT IS IMPORTANT -- WE ARE A
LITTLE NERVOUS WITH BUFFALO
KIND OF GOING THROUGH SOME
THINGS AND HAVING THE BILLS
GAME ON.
WE HAVE GREAT BILLS PEOPLE OUT
THERE.
WE HAVE REACHED OUT TO EVERY
BILLS BACKER BAR AND THEY ARE
ALL VOTING AT LEAST ON THE
SIDE.
>> WE KNOW WESTERN NEW YORKERS
WILL COME THROUGH.
WE WILL BE ALERTING PEOPLE WHEN
IT IS TIME TO VOTE.
MAKE SURE HAVE YOU THE APP AND
SIGN UP FOR THAT.
PATTY, THANK YOU FOR COMING ON
THE SHOW.
WE WILL ALL BE VOTING.
>> THANK
