-The first pair of the day is two amazing women.
Bella DeNapoli and Katie Rae
are going to sing...
by Barbra Streisand
and Donna Summer.
-And the song? Oh, my, God! -I can´t believe
you gave us this song. -I know. I knew
-I can´t wait. -you could handle it, though.
-Yeah, but there´s so much emotional
integrity at the beginning. It´s a full meal.
We´re ready to eat. -Absolutely.
-Very much. -Can´t wait to be fed.
[ Laughter ] -Yeah.
-I gave Samuel and KJ...
...by Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello.
I´m so excited to hear you two duet with this song.
Camila Cabello.
She´s here -What?
-to help us. -Oh, my God!
[ Laughter ] -Hi!
This was, like, one of the first songs
that I ever did as a solo artist.
So to hear people singing it was really cool.
I think the chorus -- just keep it, like, really staccato.
-Yeah. -I love the hunger.
I love that you´re giving face.
You´re giving acting.
Feels very hot-cold, kind of like pushing away,
but then, "I know you didn´t mean it, though."
-"Mr. & Mrs. Smith," you know, like...
[ Laughs ] Yes! -You know what I´m saying?
-Yes! -It´s gonna be so good.
-I paired Girl Named Tom and Kinsey Rose
because I knew Kinsey´s country and I knew they liked
James Taylor, and I thought, let´s just find
something we can do in the middle.
...was kind of a perfect song by The Eagles.
I was excited to bring Jason. We´ve done a duet together,
so it´s kind of the same thing. We´re kind of trying
to create magic here with people that maybe
haven´t sang together before. -Sometimes you capture
lightning in a bottle and you just never know
when that´s gonna be. -Yes!
-I gave Peedy and Joy Reunion
"Joy to the World" by Three Dog Night,
and I think this is a perfect song
because it´s a vintage throwback,
which is great for Peedy;
and it´s also from a band, a trio,
and that´s perfect for Joy Reunion.
-No way. Dierks Bentley?
-This is gonna be a fun one to watch.
I´ll let Blake do the decision-making.
-Oh, God.
[ Laughter ]
-Chavon and David not only have the commonality
of being guitar players,
but they also both sang female pop songs
for their initial auditions.
I thought what better song to give them
than Fall Out Boy´s...
I tried to find something that would be right for both of you,
and I thought that since you share the common ground
of singing pop songs
and making them rock interpretations,
why not find a rock song that was a huge pop smash?
-I know that you both want my phone number,
and I will give it to you later, okay?
[ Laughter ] -Yes! Absolutely!
-I´m dead! -Yes.
-Jeremy and Jershika, that was a no-brainer for me.
The song I picked was "Hold On" by Justin Bieber
and I think it probably threw both of them.
I know the weight and the gravity
of the situation. I get it.
So, I did love the idea of y´all doing this song "Hold On"
because it was a little outside
of what I thought you might pick.
-Don´t blame me for whatever
she does, I just want to say.
´Cause I won´t be here for that.
[ Laughter ] -Right!
-I paired Hailey and Lana together
because they´re my two young firecracker vocalists
on this team.
Maren Morris.
-Maren´s my favorite.
So Blake gave us "Girl" by Maren Morris.
-This is a cool pairing with this song, I think,
because Maren is, like,
as pop as it gets in country music right now.
-I feel blessed that we have this song
-Yeah, yeah. -because we get to sing
about empowering each other -- -Yeah, girls empowering girls.
-I don´t want to lose either one of you two.
Keep supporting each other
in this battle to beat each other.
-We´re buds. -Yes.
-So, I ended up giving Xavier and Carolina
"telepatía" by Kali Uchis,
and I love this song.
It´s a hit song right now. Everybody loves it right now.
I love the song, and I thought it was really cool
´cause it was a current song. -Yeah.
-And I think it´s very sexy, it´s very cool and sensual,
but it´s also, like, really interesting --
like, melodically. -Mm-hmm, yeah.
-I like what it does. -Mm-hmm.
-So, did y´all like the song choice?
-Oh, yeah. -We did, yeah.
-Oh, yeah, loved it. -Okay. Okay.
I was, like, so nervous about it.
Y´all both have incredible voices.
-Yeah. Thank you. -And sound great together, too.
That´s... -Yeah.
-You really complement each other well.
-Yeah, very complementary. Yeah.
-Katherine and Vaughn
have really a big curveball of a song --
I gave them "Dilemma" by Nelly and Kelly Rowland.
So, our next team is Vaughn and Katherine.
-Let´s do it. -All right.
-Their voices, their energy, they´re so special.
They were the hardest I fought for any--
I literally was like, "I must have --"
Like, it was aggressive.
I just thought you´re going to make it more melodic
and more your own.
-For me, the best surprise of the whole experience
is watching what Ari chose for y´all to do,
because there are no more lanes.
-We have the best coach. -Thank you!
-Libianca and Tommy are, by far,
the oddest battle pairing that I have on Team Blake this year,
You know, but, sometimes, the crazy pairings
are what end up making for the most magical performances.
I gave these two "Save Your Tears,"
the remix version,
by The Weeknd, featuring Ariana Grande.
Gonna sing an Ariana song in front of Ariana.
-Oh, man. What are you trying to do to me, man?
-I mean, the level of talent on this show is just crazy.
-Meeting somebody and 10 minutes later,
making -- making a song like that.
-Yeah, yeah. -You know, and, like...
-Yeah. -Remember that forever.
It´s so cool. -[ Laughs ]
-Brittany Bree and Samara --
they´re singing "Giving Him Something He Can Feel."
It´s such a powerful, soulful, sultry song.
And I am so excited to hear
Brittany Bree and Samara do this together.
So they´re gonna sing "Something He Can Feel."
-Ooh! -Aretha sang it.
En Vogue sang it.
And, uh, I´m excited for you all to do it.
Brittany Bree has never done secular music
before here. -Wow.
Did you listen to secular music, or no?
-Oh, I listen to it. I just...
-Okay, got it, got it, got it.
-If you have a real plan going in,
and you go out there and sing with the ability
both of you have,
it will be the best battle performance.
-Push it!
[ Cheers and applause ] -Aah!
-There we go! We got another steal!
Three steals and a save!
That is a "Voice" first.
-Now, this is good television. [ Laughter ]
