-What's your name?
-My name is Cara Brindisi, I'm 34,
and I'm from Worcester, Massachusetts.
-I love that song. -I saw you rocking out.
-I know. What made you sing that song,
and what kind of music do you want to make?
-I just love songs that tell stories,
and that story is one that I think most everyone,
at some point in their life, can relate to.
-Somebody that likes to tell stories?
Sounds like a Blake kind of...
-Whoa. -...girl.
-Oh, here we go. -I know.
-Are you serious? I thought we were, like, besties.
-We are literally best friends. -Besties.
-We're best friends. I literally love you.
-There's no loyalty on this show. No loyalty.
-I agree. I agree with everything Camila's saying.
-Gwen Stefani, One of the most successful artists
in the history of mankind. -100%.
-Oh, my God.
-Gwen, I'm literally your biggest fan.
If I was on that stage, I would choose you as my coach.
-Oh, my goodness. -However, I'm like you.
But I feel like she is like Blake.
-[ Laughs ] -Gwen, I'm supporting you
in this. -Blake is always talking about,
you know, the story and the thing and the that.
-"The story and the thing and the that."
-It's Cara, right, from "Wooster?"
-Worcester, yeah. -Yeah. Did I say it right?
-Sure, yeah. [ Laughs ] -Close enough.
-Anyway, clearly, I heard the country side of you.
I heard some twang coming out in your voice,
and it was ringing my bell. It really was.
And how does somebody who's a singer-songwriter
survive on a show like this? Luckily for you,
you also have pipes to -- to compete.
Man, I couldn't help it. I was like...
"I hear something here that I haven't heard
this entire season. I want this girl on my team."
So I'd love to be your coach. Yeah.
-Wow. -Oh, my gosh.
-Oh, and I second everything that Camila said about me.
-Your lane is something that I'm a fan of.
I was born in the '70s.
I listened to all kinds of singer-songwriters --
Carly Simon, Joni Mitchell. I love storytelling.
I love just putting your heart in a song
and being able to relate
to something that somebody went through
and then letting the vocal take you there.
I don't think that it matters about genre as much
as it matters about heart, and music is the vessel to that.
And I would love to work with you.
So, um, anyways... [ Alarm beeps ]
Um, Blake has to take his medication.
[ Laughter ]
-She's actually not kidding. She set that alarm
for me on my phone.
-It's nap time for Grandpa Blake.
[ Laughter ]
-Okay, I love you. Um... [ Laughs ]
I would love to be your coach.
If you want me, Team Gwen's here for you.
-Thank you so much.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Who do you pick as your coach?
[ Audience shouting ]
-Gwen. -Come on, Cara!
♪♪
-My gut, I...
I really didn't expect this,
but my gut is Gwen.
-Oh, my gosh! -Damn it!
-That's so sweet. Thank you.
-I loved Cara's storytelling...
