[ Exhales sharply ]
Wow.
Whoa.
Hi! What's your name? Where are you from?
My name is Jim Ranger, I'm 38 years old,
and I'm from Bakersfield, California.
Oh!
Were you born and raised there?
No. I was born in Newport, Arkansas.
Oh, wow. And my dad is a pastor.
Yes! And he took a church there in Bakersfield.
Alright. Alright. That's making sense. That's what I was feeling.
Yes. I was feeling the Spirit.
I should have turned.
I think I felt like you went too many places with it,
but I love that you're on the show,
and feel free to just make them fight like hell for you.
Oh, we're gonna fight! [ Laughter ]
Let's go. Just so you know,
Bakersfield -- No Doubt had some of our greatest all-time concerts there.
I grew up in the '90s in Bakersfield.
Yes. Boom.
You're a big deal. Big deal. Yes!
And not only did I do alternative, okay?
Then I did pop.
And then have you seen me on the country chart?
[ Laughter ] I have. I did see you on the country chart.
Just wondering because I'm number one in country
with Blake Shelton. A little bit country.
You know what I love about you?
You're so confident -- like, the music is in you so deep --
that you just have to let it out.
You're telling a story. You're passionate.
I'm feeling all those things, so I just had to press my button,
and I think that it'd be really fun to work together.
So, here I am. [ Chuckles ]
[ Cheers and applause ] Spectacular.
I turned for you very quickly...
Yes, you did. ...because I heard so much in your tone.
And by the time you start wailing at the end,
it was just such a revelation.
I think you're so soulful,
such a great musician and a great vocalist.
And I would absolutely love to work with you.
Thank you. [ Cheers and applause ]
Blake: I agree with John. I love the build.
And I love Bakersfield. I love the -- the music history there.
Did you ever play Crystal Palace?
You've ever played there? Oh, yeah.
I played with the band, and then, of course,
karaoke night there is pretty fun.
Oh, I didn't know they had karaoke there.
He's just making things up.
[ Laughter ]
I remember... Do you actually know?
...when you'd get booked there,
it was like a early show and then a late show.
I didn't have enough people between two shows
to even fill one show.
I remember that. They were like,
"Hey, man, we'll just do one.
We'll just have everybody come to the late one.
That's fine." [ Laughter ]
Jim, you don't want to work with Blake. Come on.
[ Laughter ]
Don't listen to him. You can't always trust this guy.
As a son of a pastor, you want someone
you can really trust and believe their word.
And we've got an important message
I need to, uh, present to Jim.
[ Laughs ] Blake Shelton is a liar.
[ Laughs ] Kelly: Did you block me, sir? Daly: Blake blocked you.
Is it true? No!
All he does is lie.
That's one of my favorite, with...
Lady Gaga. ...Lady Gaga. The songs.
Isn't it time you pick a coach you can believe in?
[ "Yankee Doodle" playing ] Ladies and gentlemen!
A coach with integrity.
You're gonna do so great. Congratulations! Thank you!
[ Cheers and applause ]
So, this season, pick a coach we can all trust.
John Legend. We should all trust John.
I pick John. John.
Yeah!
John: I'm John Legend,
and I approved this message.
[ Laughter, applause ]
Oh, my God!
I may be full of crap... [ Laughter ]
...but I won't be deterred.
[ Laughter ] Okay?
I sti--
[ Laughter continues ]
I do lie... [ Laughs ]
...but it's only... Uhh!
...when something is important to me.
Now, what the hell kind of sense does that make?! What does that even mean?
It's worth it to me... To lie.
...to lie to these other coaches...
[ Laughs ] ...to get somebody like you on my team.
[ Laughing ] Oh, my God. That's all I got to say.
So, in between John and Gwen, who do you pick as your coach?
