Hello. What's your name? Where are you from?
My name is Jack Rogan, I'm 18 years old,
and I'm from Rochester, New York.
Wow.
You have such a cool voice.
I was so tempted to push my button so many times.
Blake: She was. She was close. I really was,
but I was waiting to be moved a tiny bit more emotionally.
I love your tone. I would listen to an album of yours.
Like, I would come to your show.
Thank you so much.
Kinda mad I didn't push, but I'm a huge fan.
Really happy for whoever wins this one.
John: I turned very early for you.
What? What do you mean "very early"?
What does that -- We both turned.
I would argue that I turned right before Kelly.
It was close. Like a millisecond, maybe.
What got both of us, me a little before,
was just the gravity
and the beauty of your tone.
It sounded so heartbreaking
and just, like, went right there.
You made us excited that we made this early bet on you
after like 10 seconds.
You -- You a little before, though, right?
Yeah, I was a little before. 10, and then 11.
Sure. Thanks, peanut gallery.
I thought it was such a thoroughly enjoyable
storytelling performance.
Jack, I would love for you to join Team Legend.
Jack: Thank you so much.
Laid it out there, didn't you? Solid pitch.
I mean, I would join. Yeah.
Jack, I love your voice.
I mean, we were turned around, and that's why
we basically turned around the same time.
Basically, but not exactly. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
But you got better and better.
I heard, like, a little Johnny Cash.
There was Ray LaMontagne, that Chris Stapleton vibe,
you know, where it's that voice is just so iconic.
For an 18-year-old, like, that's cr--
Did you, like, just graduated or you graduating now?
I'm actually a sophomore in college,
but this is like my first gig.
You're a sophomore in college and you're 18?
Yeah, I was homeschooled, so I graduated early.
Me, too.
Oh, I was like, "Wait, what?
What are you, Doogie Howser? Like, what's happening?"
You don't know who that is. [ Laughs ]
He's too young to know who Doogie --
You're too young to know who that is. My friends used to call me Doogie
in high school. I bet they do still.
I would do really well with you.
I think you would look great in turquoise, my man.
It's just a really good color.
[ Laughs ] You can't go wrong either way,
but you can go more right one way.
Blake, did you talk?
Honestly, I can't remember why I didn't turn around now,
'cause it's been two hours ago since he sang.
[ Laughter ]
Maybe I should just do the honors here
and say, "Jack, who you gonna pick as your coach?"
Uh...
Come on!
[ Audience shouting ] Come on!
I'm gonna go with...
I'm gonna go with John.
Oh!
John: Things are picking up for Team Legend.
