[ Cheers and applause ]
-[ Screams ]
-Oh, my God! -I love you!
-Sing it!
-[ Screaming happily ]
-You are incredible!
-Oh, my God!
-Oh, my gosh!
-Sing that song! -What?!
[ Laughter ] -Whoo!
-She gonna shout too?
-What is your name and where have you been?
-"Where have you been?"
-My name is Tamara Jade. I'm 30 years old,
and I'm from Bowie, Maryland. -I was the first person
to turn around from the first note
because you are incredible.
-Thank you. -Like, it doesn't matter.
You're gonna be in the finale.
-I received that. -"I received that."
-She received it!
-Everybody needs to be inspired right now.
That's why this is called "The Voice,"
is you want someone that really moves everyone,
and that's you. -Thank you.
-I do think it would be helpful to have, I don't know,
someone who's navigated a vocal competition.
-You mean the first that ever did it?
-[ Laughs ]
I just think that you should be on my team
because I love you.
You would look fantastic in purple.
-Ooh! -Like, I'm just saying.
-That's cute! -I can buy clothes, too.
[ Laughter ]
-I was the last one to hit my button
because the big choruses were so over-the-top
incredible that I finally said screw it,
artist to artist, this makes zero sense
for you to go with somebody like me,
but coach to artist, I think it makes perfect sense.
I've been doing this a long time and I'm always
gonna be honest with you because I want to see you
go as far as you can go,
and I in my heart think you can win this thing.
-Wow. -Um...
-Yes, Uncle John? [ Laughter ]
-We're already off to a good start.
-She's onto Kelly, too.
[ Laughter ]
-First of all, the fact that you can rap-sing,
the fact that you can sing these big soulful notes,
and then what sealed the deal was the very end of the song
where you kind of sang it more gracefully
and more tenderly, it was just like,
oh, she can do literally everything.
I would love to coach you!
-Thank you. [ Cheering ]
-Oh, my God. -Hi.
-Hey, girl! Look at you sparkling in the moonlight!
-I got dressed up for the occasion.
-Yes!
-I've been doing this for a long time
and I've bounced between so many different genres of music.
-"It's bananas -- B-A-N-A-N-A-S."
-It is. -Hey!
-See what I did there? -I love Tamara.
-One place that I could help you with is the rap-singing.
Rap-singing takes a lot more air.
Like, when I do "Hollaback," it takes so much air
to do that kind of stuff.
And then your personality's already there,
but I love to investigate that, who you are
and how you could speak to people and connect to people.
Anyways, I would love to work with you.
You're amazing. -This is a lot harder
than I thought it was gonna be.
I hope my edges are not betraying me.
[ Laughter ] Um, they'll rise up against you.
-They'll rise up -- oh, my God, you're like a comedian as well.
-Rise up against you. [ Laughs ]
-I have had a minute to collect myself.
One thing I really love about your voice, too,
is a lot of people that love to do vocal runs
sound like they're trying, and yours
sound like you're just simply exhaling.
-Tamara, who do you pick as your coach?
-[ Exhales ]
[ Audience shouting and cheering ]
-Come on!
-Okay, I choose...
