-Hey! -Alright!
-Whoo! -What's your name?
-My name is Tanner Howe, I'm 29,
and I'm from Huntington Beach, California.
-Oh, yeah. H.B.! -O.C., baby.
-Tanner, congratulations. You're on "The Voice."
-Thank you guys so much.
-I was like, "Is Shawn on stage right now?"
-You sounded like him. -Wow, wow.
You know him best, so that's awesome.
I know him better than everybody in this room.
[ Laughter ]
But the reason I didn't turn around
was I felt like you sounded a little bit too much like him.
Obviously, he has an amazing voice.
I love this song.
But I would be curious, when you pick your coach,
for you to just kind of distinguish yourself.
-I really respect Shawn as an artist
and I see myself in that lane,
but I totally love what you're saying.
Thank you so much. I'll try and be more unique.
-I was in his lane deeply.
[ Laughter ] -Hey!
-Whoa! -Hey.
-Alright now.
-She said it, we heard it.
-She's trying to make it as awkward as possible.
[ Laughter ]
-Okay, fight it out.
-What's up, Tanner, H.B.?
-Orange Country, right? -I'm Anaheim. I'm Anaheim. Yeah.
-Awesome, yeah.
-So now I actually get to hang out with a local.
-There we go, yeah. -Well, maybe not. Maybe not.
-You have a really strong, quality voice
that sounds like an artist, like, on a record.
I like the style. It felt very confident.
I don't feel like I have anybody on my team
that's in your sort of world. And are you in a band?
-I grew up playing music with my family band.
-Oh, how fun. Me, too.
-We didn't get as big as No Doubt, but...
-Oh, you didn't -- Okay.
-We played at churches and at smaller events.
-That's awesome, though. I love that.
I would love to have you on Team Gwen.
-Awesome. Thank you, Gwen. Thank you so much.
-I married a woman who graduated from Huntington Beach High.
Her name is Chrissy Teigen.
-No way.
-Eventually, she found her way into, uh -- into my lane.
-Ow, ow! -Hey.
-Hey. Deeply. [ Laughs ]
Alright now. Deeply into my lane.
Anyway, your voice sounds really good down low,
but it was a little bit inaccurate down there.
But once you got up in that tenor section of your voice,
it was just so clear and so powerful.
You can pick other songs that don't live down
in that deep baritone area of your voice,
and I would love to work with you
and help you make the most of the amazing voice that you have.
-I disagree with John.
I don't think you should wimp out,
like he's suggesting that you do.
-Oh, my gosh.
It's called playing to your strengths.
-And -- And not get better. I think that's the whole point
of getting on this show, is to get over that hump.
And I want you to have a "Voice" trophy
also to put in this handy-dandy cooler.
-Okay.
Do you like beer, Tanner?
-I'm not much of a beer guy.
I don't drink a lot, but on occasion.
-I don't either. Me either.
-Blake drinks a lot. -[ Laughs ]
Blake goes "Me either."
-Listen, dude, I grew up in the O.C.
-He meant the O.K.
[ Laughter ]
-I'd love to be able to have the chance
to work with you and get you to that spot, man --
not just avoid it like John wants you to do.
-Oh, my God. -Yeah.
So who do you pick as your coach?
-Who will you pick as your coach, Tanner?
-Come on, Tanner. -Tanner!
-[ Laughs ]
[ Audience shouting ]
-I really don't know! Oh, my gosh.
-Come on, Tanner.
-Who's it gonna be? Who's it gonna be?
I pick...
Team Gwen.
-♪ California ♪ -Oh!
-No?! Me?! Oh, my God!
-O.C., baby!
-Oh! Oh, my gosh!
The power of Orange County!
I won. I beat John and I beat Blake.
That's for you!
