-Amazing.
-What is your name and where are you from?
-Aloha. [ Speaks Hawaiian ] My name is Kamalei Kawa'a.
I'm 26 years old,
and I'm from beautiful Paukukalo, Maui.
-Welcome!
-Man, I'm blown away by your voice.
I was listening for something really specific.
I saw them turn around. I knew you'd be in good hands.
-I just want to say I love how you represent your culture.
And I feel like you being on the show is gonna be great,
because you just get to share that with even more people.
That's amazing. -That's the goal.
That's the goal.
-Doing "Redemption Song"
in front of millions of people --
it brought something out of me.
It's a very radical song, and it means a lot
to all oppressed peoples around the world.
And I think having you on here and representing
Pacific Islanders, Indigenous people,
Hawaiians, like, people around the world,
I think it's really important for the show to have.
-That's the goal of being here,
is to represent all Native people.
I get emotional talking about it.
-Talk about it, man. -Ah. But...
[ Cheers and applause ]
My favorite line from the song is,
"Emancipate yourself from mental slavery."
-Mm-hmm. -Yeah.
-None but ourselves will free our minds. Yes.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-That's all we need to hear today.
Don't let those chains hold you down.
-Straight up, man.
-It's up to us to
to move forward and emancipate yourselves.
-Let's go, man. -Yes! Yes!
-You're gonna do amazing things in this competition
regardless of who you go with.
Congratulations. You're on "The Voice."
-Thank you so much. Thank you.
-I couldn't have said it better, Chance.
I love that you represent your people.
I love Maui. That song touched my heart.
I knew that I had heard it before,
but not like the way you sang it.
-I appreciate that. Thank you so much.
-It's something about you being so proud of your heritage
and carrying on the ways of your people that, I don't know,
it just came through in that song.
It was very spiritual to me.
-Thank you.
-And that's why I turned around.
Best of luck to you,
and I'm so glad you're on "The Voice."
We need folks like you.
-I appreciate you all so much. Thank you, thank you.
-Well, Kamalei, we were all moved by your performance,
and you have a choice between two wonderful people
who could coach you.
Who do you pick as your coach?

-What do you think?
-I have no idea.
-Reba, I love you. You're the queen.
-Thank you. -Chance, I love you, too.
You're also the man.
I'm gonna have to choose...
Team Chance.
-Ohhhh!
Let's go!
-You did good.
-Oh, my God!
-I'm sorry, Reba. Kamalei is a force.
I really think that he's a star. He has a voice like no other.
So the control was just always there.
It felt almost like a studio recording.
-I got this gift for you. It's a little something.
-He's got a great story to tell...
-Come on!
