-Awesome. Congratulations. -Thank you. Thank you.
-Oh, Lordy, Lordy. -Congratulations.
-Whew.
-Hello! -Yeah.
-What is up? -What is up?!
What is your name, and where are you from?
-My name is Peyton Aldridge, I am 25 years old,
and I am from Cleveland, Mississippi.
-Peyton, I was the first to turn for you.
I was just so captivated by your voice.
It's so strong and clear and beautiful.
You've got so much soul.
I didn't know if you were a soul singer
or a country singer or a blues singer,
but I felt all of that beautiful American music
flowing through you, you know, all of that.
-I appreciate that. -I also had a feeling
you might be interested in Team Blake.
-You talking about Team Blocked?
-Yes, Team Blocked.
Peyton, I only have one block to use,
but I decided to use it on you. -Oh, I appreciate it.
-What other music do you like to listen to?
What's your stylistic goals
for where you want to be as an artist?
-All I'm saying, "All of Me" by John Legend
is pretty dang good, brother. -Okay. Okay!
-Oh, no!
-Show us a little bit of what you would sound like
singing "All of Me." -Oh. Okay.
-♪ What would I do without your smart mouth? ♪
-Yeah. -Whoa!
-♪ Drawing me in and you kicking me out ♪
♪ You got my head spinning, no kidding ♪
♪ I can't put you down ♪
♪ What would I -- I don't know, no, no, no, no ♪
[ Laughs ]
-I'll sing it with you.
-♪ 'Cause I give you all of me ♪
-Come on.
-♪ Yeah, and you give me all ♪
♪ Of you, oh ♪
Peyton!
Sounds so good. -Thank you.
-Whoo! -John.
-I know I still have to fight for you.
-Yes, you do! -You have a --
You have a chance to choose Gwen.
But just know that I would love for you to be on Team Legend.
-Appreciate you. Thank you.
-I could totally picture you doing like, "Uh-huh, this my --"
-♪ All the girls, stomp your feet like this, hey ♪
-♪ 'Cause I ain't no hollaback girl ♪
-Yeah! See?! [ Cheers and applause ]
-I knew it!
[ Cheers and applause ]
-When you did the John Legend song, that part of your voice --
-That was crazy. -Oh, it's so -- It's gorgeous.
-Then I was even more like, okay,
I got to get this guy on my team
because this guy could really make records.
-I appreciate it. -What's interesting about you
is you already know so much who you are.
-That's right. -I would just like to get in
there and figure out how do we get people
to really know your personality,
to really, really get to your heart.
-Yes, ma'am. -And John's amazing, but --
-Gwen's amazing. -You all are amazing.
-Okay. Pick me.
Let's go.
-John's amazing. Gwen's amazing.
Blake is blocked. [ Laughter ]
It's a great day.
-It's a great day in America.
-When you sang your song,
I was like, mm, for some reason, I don't feel like
it's the right fit for what I'm looking for.
But then when you sang "All of Me,"
now I'm having extreme regret.
And then you even sang "Hollaback Girl."
And I was like, damn, even that sounds good.
John, also, I was really starstruck by you
when you sang "All of Me." -Oh, stop it.
-I was like, "Oh, my gosh! John! Stop!"
-You gave me goosebumps, brother.
-I was so honored to hear you sing it.
-Bromance.
-John Legend can kiss my ass.
-Oh, my goodness. -[ Laughing ] Oh, my God.
-You did have a great moment there with John singing,
and it was very special.
But what would really have them talking tomorrow morning
on the "Today" show would be if, after that moment happened,
then you chose Gwen Stefani to be your coach.
-Yes! So very strategic.
-They would be like, "Oh, my gosh.
I can't believe he did that." -Don't encourage him!
Don't encourage him, people! -You're Machiavellian.
-You're a smart man, Blake Shelton.
-He knows who he's going home with tonight,
and it ain't John Legend.
[ Laughter ]
-Peyton, who do you pick as your coach?
-[ Sighs ]
-Come on! Team Legend!
[ Audience shouting ]
-Don't forget about the "Today" show!
