[ Cheers and applause ]
-Yeah!
[ Cheers and applause ] -Whoo!
-Yes! -Oh, cute!
-What's your name?
-Hi. -Hi!
-I'm Ava Lynn Thuresson. I'm 18.
-You're 18? -Oh, my goodness.
-Yay! -Wow.
Well, I loved
your rendition of that song. -Thank you.
-What made you want to do it like that?
-I feel like I'm country, a little bit of soul...
-Cool. -...but that rendition,
I feel like, really emphasizes the lyrics.
-Well, Ava Lynn, doing covers a different way
is what I've been talking about all dang day.
-You got to use your word. Use your word.
-What's my word?
-Juxtaposition. -Juxtaposition, right.
[ Laughter ] -If there was ever a time.
-I love how the actual song
sounds, like, really poppy and happy,
but you made it angsty and, like, grungy,
and I thought that was so cool.
Everything about you is, like, right up my alley,
and I feel like even John will tell you that himself.
[ Laughter ] -It's odd because
I turned for her so much earlier than you did.
-Wow. -John.
-Why is that? -I don't understand
what took you so long to be convinced,
because I heard that voice... -What took so long?
-...I heard that cool interpretation...
-Didn't you hear it? -...I heard that power
and that shred in her voice. -Okay, well...
-Did you hear the shred? -I heard the rock star...
-I heard the shred. -...in her voice.
-Did you hear the rock star? -I heard the rock star.
-And I was convinced already.
Doing this version was so, like,
assured of who you wanted to be
and how you wanted to present yourself to us.
You have such an open lane for yourself.
You're so young, but you're really poised and confident.
I would love to help you do that on Team Legend.
-Ava Lynn, I want to say something
just because I'm having a regret.
You are really talented.
I mean, just creative.
And I can't wait to see what you're going to do.
-You think she should choose me, right?
-Oh, my God. -I'm not going to say anything
because I feel I need to be very neutral right now.
But I'm excited for you.
-Thank you! Oh, my gosh. -I love you already.
-I don't know why you're not more happy right now.
[ Laughter ]
Or excited.
Whoever you choose,
I'm sure they'll screw it up in the battles or the knockouts,
and then I'll have my chance...
-Nah. -...to get you on Team Blake
where you actually belong. -Nah!
-Yeah. -Oh, man.
-I feel like everything's open to you,
and there's no one else that's sounding like you.
We could have so much fun picking songs.
And it's Camila's first season, she's learning.
But do you really want someone who's just learning?
Like, she just graduated high school, I think, like --
-I just graduated high school, so, yeah.
-But you know what, Ava Lynn? Do you want somebody
that has actually been on a singing competition before?
-Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. -And can show you...
-She got you. Burn. -And can show you the ropes?
Because guess what?
I've done this, baby. I did the auditions.
I did the live shows.
-That's true.
-I've been doing this.
-Oh, my gosh. I'm so overwhelmed.
-Okay, I'm going to say it, then.
So, Ava Lynn, who do you choose as your coach?
-[ Laughs ]
-Come on. Come on, Ava Lynn.
Come on. Come on.
[ Audience shouting ]
I've got your cool jacket.
Don't you want to wear this jacket?
Don't you want to join us?
-I'm so grateful for all the compliments,
especially from you, John, but I think
I'll have to go with Camila. -Yeah, baby!
-Oh! He even had the coat up!
-Aw! -Ava Lynn! Yeah!
I'm so proud of you! -Oh, my God! So nice meet you!
-Oh, my God. It's so nice meet you. -I'm such a big fan!
