[Cheers and applause]
-Yes!
-Oh, my gosh.
-Wow! -All right!
-Are you serious?
Where are you from, and what is your name?
-My name is Bias. I'm from Chattanooga, Tennessee.
And I'm 23 years old.
-Wow.
-Way to go.
-Lovely to meet you, man.
Some of the pitch issues that I was hearing
were literally the reason why I didn't turn.
And also, Blake will tell you,
that's a very, very hard song to sing.
-I remember when he first started singing it live,
he would be like, "Oh, my God,"
because it takes so much air.
-I mean, you got the approval from the Queen of Country...
-And the Queen of Shelton.
[Laughter]
-[Chuckling] You're doing all right.
Welcome to "The Voice."
-I appreciate that. Thank you.
-I'm so glad I turned around so I could see the end of that.
That was just -- I'm glad, too.
It was crazy. -I appreciate it.
-He was literally kicking at the sky.
-Really? -Yeah.
-[Laughs]
-I loved your energy. I love your spirit.
And at the end of the song,
you had some really cool kind of texture and growl
that if I was your coach,
I would try to bring that out more.
I think it's just really exciting
to meet a young country guy
that has that much spark and energy,
and I would love to work with you.
-I appreciate that. -My name is Gwen Stefani.
-Oh, my gosh. -No, wait, wait.
My name is Gwen Shelton.
[Cheers and applause]
-Oh, oh.
-Just a phone call away.
[Laughter]
[Cheers and applause]
Now I feel like she's gonna cast some evil spell on me.
-Don't let the diamonds distract you.
-Don't -- Don't cast a spell on me.
[Laughter]
-Now, when you started singing,
and then the crowd got into it,
I knew you must have been doing something really good out here.
-I was trying to do a little bit.
I was trying to do a little bit.
-And I thought, "Oh, my gosh, I love the way he sings."
That's when I hit my button, and I was so glad I did
because you were kicking some major butt out here.
[Cheers and applause]
-Thank you, Miss Reba. I appreciate that.
-We have some great Reba Tots over there
that we go over there and eat
after you say, "I'm gonna be on Team Reba."
-I hear that. I'm a tot guy.
I like me some tots. -There you go.
[Laughter]
-Meant to be. Meant to be.
Just sayin'.
-I've been listening to you for a long time,
ever since I can remember.
And I love Blake Shelton. I actually do a li--
-You like "Hollaback Girl"?
-I do like a little "Hollaback Girl."
I'm sure I can put a little twang in there, but, uh...
[Laughter]
-What I loved the most
was how soulful your rendition was.
I thought it was a really cool take on Blake's song.
And the fact that you were able to nail it
in the way that you did, I thought was very impressive.
-Thank you, John.
-Now you have to pick between Queen Shelton
and the Queen of Country.
[Audience shouting]

-Who do you think? Should it be Gwen or Reba?
♪♪
-I'm gonna have to go with Gwen.
-What?! Are you serious?!
But you see...
Bias, that was a shocker.
Are you serious?
It was the ring.
Reba is the Queen of Country,
but I feel like, you know,
I have my eyes on the country world now,
and to have a country person on my team
is really important to me.
Bias is really unique,
and I can't wait to go home and tell Blake about this guy.
-I just knew I had him.
