Ohh.
Like, someone that's willing to go into the first round
with an Elton John song and sing it like that
takes something.
If this is where you've set the bar,
what are we gonna see from you down the line?
America's gonna fall in love with that voice.
Thank you.
I love the song selection.
I love your voice.

especially this stage.
You're looking at us, right?
And you're waiting for us to turn around,
and even then, you still were like,
"I'm going to slap them around a little bit."
Even though you're so incredible,
I feel like I could help you even more

I learned off a good friend of mine who's no longer here --
uh, he's still on the planet, but, um --
He's no longer with us.
He's in a tractor in Oklahoma as we speak.
I know him.
Yeah, you know him?
Yes.
He taught me a little trick I noticed on day one.

Gwen: That is such a lie. He's a liar.
My husband is Blake Shelton.
He did not do that, I promise.
Well, I'll tell you what --
he did because that's his and it's got his name crossed out.
John: Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
He taught me how to do absolutely anything
to make sure that you get a team member.
