-Oh, my goodness! Beautiful! -Wow.
[ Cheering and applause ]
-Well, if Kelly was here,
I would tell her, why did you pair these two together?
It's awful, like, what is she doing?
Maybe that's why she's not here ultimately.
Maybe she realized what a horrible mistake she made
and didn't want to deal with this decision.
-Lucky me. -Lucky Kelsea.
-Gean, I've never seen anybody perform the way you do,
and you're so intense,
it's like you're performing from a different dimension.
I don't know what's happening to you physically
when you're singing, but it's cool to see.
Ryleigh, we sit here in these chairs
and we wait for, season after season,
somebody who doesn't sound like anybody else
that we can really think of.
You're the kind of artist that we need on this show
to keep it new and fresh and different.
I got to say, I'd probably go with Gene
because I don't know what's going on with you
and I want to see some more of it.
-Ryleigh, your voice is just magical to listen to.
And I'm so frustrated that we didn't get to work together.
You know, as a songwriter, you're the kind of artist
that I would die to write songs for, to write with.
-Oh! -Ryleigh, I'm writing that down.
He said it on television. So, yep.
-Book it.
-And, Gean, I have to agree with Blake.
Y-you tap into something else. It is like you're in the Matrix.
You're in a different world, and you can't coach that.
I would say that you've got the hardest job here today,
stepping in and taking over for Kelly.
-I love that this is her first battle.
-It's my first battle. -Yeah.
-So after you're done today,
go have a conversation with Kelly and tell her
how she messed this whole thing up. -Yeah, I'll call her.
-I was looking at this and realizing
I didn't turn for either of you,
and starting to question myself as a human being.
Like, am I doing this right?
Both of you have really unique approaches and unique voices.
Gean, just open up your vowels a little bit more.
It felt like you were squeezing 'em a little bit,
but your range is so cool.
That isn't enough for me to not want you on my team
if I -- if I had a chance to steal you.
-Yeah. -But I thought Ryleigh
gave a slightly better performance today.
This is a tough decision for Kelsea.
-Kelsea, welcome to "The Voice."
This is a tough one for you. -Wow!
Way to throw me in! -Before we find out the winner,
just give us some thoughts on the battle.
-Kelly's told me all about you.
She's so sad that she can't see this in person.
And I feel super stoked that I can.
I think Blake is on to something, though,
that she just didn't want to have to pick.
And so now that's why I'm here.
Gean, I noticed there was a little pitch issue
in the beginning, and then you corrected it.
And I was wondering if that was maybe just a nerve thing.
And, Ryleigh, Kelly was telling me that music's kind of been
an outlet for you. -Yeah.
-And it's been something in your life
that helped you get past things.
And I relate to that so deeply.
And I can hear parts of your story
in the way that you sing.
And it makes me want to buy your record.
-Thank you! -Since I'm keeping the seat warm for Kelly,
I'm going to call her. -I didn't know you could phone a friend!
-That's illegal! -Oh, my gosh!
This is unprecedented.
-You two have changed this show forever.
-Can you ask her why she's not here?
[ Laughter ]
-I'm so sorry, Kelsea!
[ Laughing ] This is so bad!
And either way you go, it's great.
And you should feel safe picking whoever
because I don't think either one of them are going home.
-Okay, well, then I know what I'm going to do.
-Kelly sounds just fine to me.
-Yeah. -She's laughing, she's talking.
-You gotta insert a little extra rasp.
[ Imitates wheezing ] -I think I heard ocean waves
in the background.
-Well, Kelsea, this is a difficult one.
Who is the winner of this battle?
The winner of this battle...
