-Whoo! -He got it this time.
Second time's the charm, Corey.
-What's your name? Where are you from?
-My name is Corey Ward, and I'm 34 years old.
I'm back from last season, so this is incredible.
-Wow. -My mom, last time,
was supposed to watch,
and right when I went to come here,
she had to get rushed to the hospital, so I'm trying
to just hold it together. -Is she here?
Is she on video?
-Ah. -Ah, there she is!
-Oh, hey, Mom! -Oh, my goodness.
-So, down on the bottom... -Hi!
-...is my lovely mother. -Oh, my goodness.
-Has just been battling cancer.
-Hi, Mom. -Your son crushed it,
and he got Kelly and John to turn their chairs.
-Nick let him down. -There's always the steal later on in case
they mess things up. -Sometimes God has something
better than you could have ever dreamed.
-Yeah. Man.
I love a passionate performer, and you are that, my friend.
-Thank you so much.
-What did you think you changed
between now and then that made it work?
-Staying true to who I am.
I'm an emotional heart guy.
The song just better fit me as a person and an artist.
-What are some other artists you like to sing?
I'm curious. -James Arthur...
-Yeah. -...Damien Rice.
-Oh, my God, "O" is like one of my favorite records. Oh!
-Yes! That's what I'm talking about.
-I'm looking for someone to move me.
A lot of people can sing,
but not a lot of people can move me.
I would love to be your coach.
-Your performance, it made me really focus
on the passion and the emotion.
It made me really feel it,
and it gave the song a whole new meaning to me.
If we were to work together,
I'm just gonna follow your heart,
and then just try to help guide you
into being the best artist you can be.
-I love it, man. Thank you.
-I gotta have a little conversation with my buddy
Blake over here. -Yeah, okay.
-If you were Corey right now,
who would you choose?
'Cause we can sway this.
-No one cares what you guys think.
-That's probably not a side of you that Corey wants
to see right now. -Yeah.
-That "nobody cares about you" side of John Legend.
-I'm starting to sway towards Kelly.
This aggression from John is making me
feel very uncomfortable. -It's fortunate for all of us
that neither of you have any say in this.
-Wow. -That's not necessarily true.
-I mean, I guess John's left me no choice here.
-Oh. [ Laughs ] -You know, wow.
The musical connection you and Kelly have...
-Oh! -Oh, don't jinx me.
-...it's unbelievable.
I mean, John said something like,
"Oh, I'll let you be your heart," or whatever.
And then Kelly was literally... -I mean, that was --
That was good, too.
-...laying it down. -Ugh!
-So true. -We're glad you came back.
That's a really good sign, that you weren't dissuaded.
-I mean, he's winning me back a little bit right now, John.
Just -- I'm starting to sway the other way.
-Yeah, but he doesn't care.
He made that clear. -You know what?
After hearing... -I don't know.
-...what Nick said just now,
now I care what you guys think.
-[ Laughs ] Come on, Corey.
I want to ask you this -- who do you pick as your coach?
-This is the hardest thing ever.
-No. -This is a dream.
-Just go with Kelly! -Shh.
-Uhhh...
I'mma go with --
Oh, my God.
♪♪
I'll go with Kelly.
-Whoa! -[ Screams ] Oh, my God!
-Kelly! Kelly!
