[ Cheers and applause ]
Yeah! Yeah!
Yes, sir! Yes, sir!
Whoo! Whoa!
Alright! Whoo!
Ohh!
Dude is excited. What's your name?
My name is Paris Winningham.
I'm 32 years old, and I'm from Jacksonville, Florida.
Alright! Yeah!
[ Laughs ]
The last decade or so, I spent my time in the U.S. Navy.
My whole goal in life was just to make music.
Yes. I got the opportunity now,
so thank God for this moment. Yes.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Paris, you're from Florida. I'm from Florida, too.
Oh, snap! Here we go.
Let me just start by pointing out how much we have in common.
Yeah. Yes, ma'am.
That was phenomenal.
You have so much soul, so much personality.
It's obviously a tall order. And it was so entertaining.
Every new layer of it was really, really great, and I loved it.
You sound like music is your safest space.
Like, it felt so contagious and so effortless.
Thank you so much.
I have no one on my team that sings like you,
and you are phenomenal, and I would love to work together.
Thank you so much. Thank you.
Paris! John.
Oh, my goodness.
He's yelling.
You just lit this stage on fire!
[ Cheers and applause ]
The way you hit those high notes
and just, like, let it ring out,
but also growl at the same time?
That was, like, what took it beyond
just an excellent performance.
I would love to work with you. I'd love to coach you.
You have it in you, and I'm excited to try to help you.
I also am excited to try and help you
win this competition.
Oh, they fightin' now.
Just saying. I am, as well.
I love your voice. There were just some pitchy things.
I didn't know if it was nerves or not.
But, man, I like you even more so.
Thank you so much.
That was incredible. You had the crowd going.
Maybe I screwed up by not hitting my button.
So, uh, good luck. Thank you so much.
Kelly: Well, Paris, now is the moment.
Who do you pick as your coach?
[ Audience shouting ]
Come on, Paris! Come on home!
Who's it gonna be?
Come on home!

Ariana, I love you, but, John, let's make history, dawg.
Y-a-a-a-a-ay!
Whoo!
I love Paris' attitude.
