-Whoo!
-Whoo! -Yes!
Yes, yes, yes.

-Oh, my God!
-Man, great job, the both of you.
And, Aaron, I feel like
it's probably more of a challenge for you,
and I feel like you had opportunities
that you could have taken the easy way out
as far as maybe switching into some falsetto things,
but you didn't -- you chose to go full voice
for your bigger moments, and they sounded like
they pushed you as far as you could go.
But, man, you went there, and I respect you for that, man.
-Thank you. -And then, Gymani, I mean --
Gymani. [ Laughs ]
Uh, wow. So good. [ Cheers and applause ]
I mean, it's unbelievable. I mean, you're so talented.
And even though I feel like Aaron did everything he could,
I probably would still be going with Gymani here.
-Thank you. [ Cheers and applause ]
Thank you.
-Oh, my God, I love you both so much.
I adore your voices.
Aaron, I love your tone.
It has this really cool texture that's so whispery and warm.
And it's so exciting when you really get up there.
I loved it so much. -Thank you.
-Gymani, I think you make it very hard
for anybody to sing with you.
I think you're so good.
It's so special, and while I think
you both complemented each other really beautifully here,
I think I would also have to give it to Gymani.
But I adore you both...
♪ So much ♪
-Thank you, thank you. -Thank you.
-Thank you.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Both of you are just truly excellent singers.
You are both really fun to watch.
Gymani's voice just is so powerful, so electric.
Cuts through so beautifully and soulfully,
and she can just really sing.
But I think your voice is really, really, really good.
The tone is really good.
-Your control is really good. -Thank you, thank you.
-You were fantastic,
and both of you are just fantastic singers.
-Thank you. -Thank you, coaches!
[ Cheers and applause ]
-All right, Kelly, you got the final decision.
Give us some thoughts on the battle first.
-I had so much fun.
I think that that is the most beautiful thing about music,
is that when you're so infectious
and you're so captivating as an artist
that everybody feels like they're a part of it.
And you both elevate each other, 'cause, Gymani, you do have
this amazing, powerful voice.
It's so stunning, and it's beautiful.
-Thank you. -And then, Aaron, I think
the sincerity, the intimacy, the level of artistry you bring,
it's a beautiful gift, as well.
I paired you both because I thought
it would sound incredible.
Turns out, I was right. [ Laughter ]
I would love both of your records.
I would come to both of your concerts.
It sucks, 'cause then I'd go, "I wish I wouldn't have
put y'all together, you know?"
'Cause I don't want to lose one of you.
-Kelly, who is the winner of this battle?
-It hurts my heart.
♪♪
The winner of this battle is Gymani.
-Gymani, congratulations!
You're moving on the Knockouts representing Team Kelly!
-I went with Gymani because I think there's just something
a little extra special about her tone.
She's kind of a chameleon vocalist,
so I'm pretty excited to see
what she's gonna do in the Knockouts.
-Thank you! -Great job. Great job.
-I'm glad she picked me.
I am super excited
to keep working with Kelly, and it's nothing but up.
-Coaches, let me remind you that Aaron is available to steal.
Aaron, anything you'd like to say to Coach?
-You're amazing.
The notes, everything that you've give me
is everything that I needed to continue to grow as a artist,
so thank you guys so much.
-Everyone in the world, stalk him online right now.

-Give it up for Aaron Hines,
ladies and gentlemen!
