[ Cheers and applause ]
Nice job, y'all.
I know.
A lot of pointing.
Howdy. How you doing?
You jealous, Blake? You jealous?
I listened to that song driving in to work today,
and I was literally thinking
that song just stands the test of time
Mm-hmm.
Yes, I was.
...and ended up with a coach who fakes illnesses.
[ Laughter ]
She didn't even show up to work today, okay?
JD, the suitcase drums -- that's cool.
I don't know how much it helped you in -- in this situation.
I don't know if it's something that
you have to think extra hard about when you're playing,
but it just felt like Kenzie absolutely
dumped himself into that vocal performance,
and so I would go with Kenzie here.
Thank you, Blake.
Nick: Kenzie, I feel like you may have hopped out of a time machine
and arrived at the blind auditions for this show.
Are you talking about his hairdo,
when you talk about the time machine?
Talking about the hairdo...
...the overall vibe.
There's just an authenticity to your whole thing
that is so fun to be a part of.
Thank you, Nick.
But, JD, you've done an amazing job
at showing us who you are.
I think the song choice was actually really cool for you
and gave you the ability to shine in your upper register.
You're a really wonderful artist.
Thank you very much.
I felt like both of them
were really well-executed performances.
You just both sound really cool and sound like
you know who you are as a vocalist.
For Kelly and Kelsea, it will be just a matter of preference.
Daly: Thank you, Coaches.
Kelsea, before we find out the winner,
give us some thoughts on the battle.
I really, really enjoyed that.
You're both so talented, and I know Kelly
Allegedly.
"Sick."
JD, the song choice might have
Mm-hmm.
...but you're still standing there doing 18 million things at once,
so that's really amazing.
And -- And, Kenzie, I just don't think you know how good you are,
and I think it's a really, really wonderful,
compelling thing about you as an artist.
I hope you never know how good you are.
And I also hope you never shave the mullet.
Can we just pinkie promise?
Thank you.
The winner of this battle...
♪♪
...is Kenzie.
Daly: Well, there you have it!
Kenzie Wheeler, you're moving on to the knockouts.
Kelsea: JD is such a musician, and with Kenzie,
