And thank you, ladies and your mom, your dad.
That's sharp.
You're getting used to this, aren't you? Pharrell.
I think I think everyone in this room owes it to this incredible form of humility right here, to stand up just like everybody everybody at home.
Stand up.
Because that is exactly I can guarantee you, anybody with eyes, ears and a heart and a mind, they are standing up back home in America right now.
Because that what you did right now is incredibly moving.
And dude, there's only one word.
Fantastic.
Gwen.
I think anyone that knows me knows that Julie Andrews and "the sound of music" and that song are my favorite ever, ever.
So to be sitting here at the end of this year and hear you singing that, I had to hold back everything.
The flood was about ready to If it wasn't for the makeup, it would be done! But thank you so much.
And I think that you have something.
Like a message for everyone out there.
That's there's a message.
It's a beautiful message.
And thank you so much.
Thank you, Gwen.
Coach Adam.
Hey, buddy.
I don't have much time to say the things to organize my thoughts here.
But I'm just going to tell you that what's amazing about this guy is, not my belief in Jordan is fine.
But Jordan's belief in himself and the humble nature with which he projects that into the world is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.
And he deserves to win the show.
That would be great everything and.
But he is so unbelievably graceful for all that he has.
And is just out there doing what he loves and what he's passionate about.
And that to me deserves Let's hear it for Jordan Smith.
Here now is team Blake, Emily Ann Roberts with the classic, "blue Christmas.
" 3 f2 coldplay con el clásico, blu e Christmas tree won'ting the same if you're not here with me and when those blue snowflakes start fallin and when those blue melodies start callin you'll be doin' all right with your Christmas of white but I'll have a blue blue blue Christmas I'll have a blue Christmas without you I'll be so blue just thinking about you decorations of red on a green Christmas tree won't be the same here if you're not here with me and when blue snowflakes start fallin and when those blue memories start callin you'll be doin' all right with your can Christmas of white but I'll have a blue blue blue blue Christmas From team Blake.
And there is one of them, Emily Ann Roberts.
And family here tonight.
Hi, coach pharrell.
Let's start with you.
Of man, you know.
I talk to Blake all of the time about you.
Just how crazy it is to me that you have such a classic voice.
And I know week after week, I said the same thing about you.
But it's really it's really a true testament to, like, your consistency.
You consistently come out here and do something very classic every week.
And that's different, man.
And it's special.
And I really look forward to seeing what you do with your career, because you definitely have one.
Thank you.
Can you, pharrell.
Let's go over to Adam.
You know, a lot of times on the show we kind of like defer to Blake, because he's a country guy, and Ow! Okay, calm down.
Thank you.
But I think that when someone is so incredible as far as country music is concerned, we can tell what the real deal is.
And if I'm not mistaken, Mr.
Shelton, you would not argue.
You are the real deal.
Thank you.
Mr.
Shelton? By the way, that was a beautiful performance.
I'll tell you the thing that I have picked up on and the entire country music fan base out there that watches this show, that's the reason you're here in the finale, is you possess this vocal power.
This range.
You have all of these things, all of these chops that you're the master.
But the best thing about your performances is, you ramp it up.
You start off simple, and as the song goes along, as the song builds, that's when you start throwing in all of the power and stuff.
And it makes for these incredible performances that you can't look away from.
So unbelievably ahead of your time, sis.
So great.
Thank you.
Let's hear it one more time.
Emily Ann Roberts.
Thank you, Emily Ann.
When we come back, it's Jeffrey's special holiday performance "oh holy night" And welcome back.
We are counting down to our live season finale.
I found Amy, Yvonne and Regina.
You guys look awesome.
We are going to look at Jeffrey's performance of "oh holy night" and follow that up with Barrett doing "die a happy man.
"Enjoy.
3 f2 Oh night oh night oh night led by the light of faith sweet dreams of joy Christ is the lord that everyone will praise and I defer mooul and I know when Christ was born oh night divine oh night oh night divine oh night divine That is Jeffrey Austin representing team Gwen here in the finale.
Jeffrey, you know, your voice is like there's this sweet spot of your voice that just like shakes the rafters, shakes the whole room.
And such a powerful song, obviously.
We all know that song.
But man and also really because you're so unique, just a unique take on that song.
I really enjoyed it, man.
Congratulations.
Let's go to your coach.
Gwen? I'm obviously going to be really emotional tonight.
You look so cute tonight, by the way.

" Sara and the kids, his wife.
Sara? I love you.
There you go.
I love you, - brooky.
- Gwen, you're crying tonight.
I'm sure made you more emotional.
I have I mean, I feel like I was on another planet during that whole thing, just thinking about your whole journey, and when you first came out here.
And you're just just your vibe.
Like your energy is so strong.
And I feel like tonight for me, like it all came together.
Because I feel like you were so calm in that performance and coming out and telling the story.
And it was really, really good.
And they are so cute! Thank you.
All right.
Let's hear what your coach has to say.
Blake? Let me tell you something.
I mean, aside we can stop talking about your technical abilities and things when it comes to your singing.
There's a reason you made it to the finale, because of that's part of it.
But I think the thing that Gwen is talking about is the same thing that I just noticed.
And that's I don't know that I've ever worked with anybody who puts more heart into their performances than you, Barrett.
I mean, every single time you get on that stage, man.
You just lay your heart out there for everybody to see.
And I admire you for that, dude.
Great job.
Give it up for Barrett baber.
Straight ahead, Jeffrey's performance of "stay.
" And welcome back.
We're going to be live with our season finale in less than 40 minutes.
I've got Blaine, chance, Victor Keith and Braden.
What are you looking forward to most? Top 25 performance.
- It's going to look good, man.
- Let's get back to the music.
Here is jeffery's performance of "stay.
" I've been sitting here staring at the clock on the wall and I've been laying here praying praying you won't call it's just another call from home and you'll get it and be gone and I'll be crying and I'll be begging you, baby beg you not to leave but I'll be left here waiting with my heart on my sleeve oh, for the next time we'll be here seems like a million years and I think I'm dying what do I have to do to make you see he can't love you like me why don't you stay? I'm down on my knees I'm so tired of being lonely don't give you what you need when she calls you to go there is one thing you should know we don't have to live this way baby, why don't you stay I can't take it any longer but my will is getting stronger and I think I know just what I have to do I can't waste another minute after all that I've put in it I've given you my best why does he get the best of you you wanna leave his bed for mine why don't you stay I'm up off my knees I'm so tired of being lonely you can't give me what I need when he begs you not to go there is one thing you should know I don't have to live this way baby, why don't you stay ohhh whoa oh ooh baby why don't you stay There is jeffery Austen again tonight in the live finale performance show, representing team Gwen.
Blake, let's start with you.
Man.
I like you doing country.
That's awesome, man.
I don't know what to say any more to all four of you finalists.
You guys are all so incredible.
But I will say this about you, jeffery.
You're the guy that from the blind auditions to now, you snuck up on all of us.
And every time you get on that stage, you make even more of a believer of all of us.
So congratulations to making it this far.
Pharrell? Hey, man.
Yeah, I agree with Blake.
Like, this must be an amazing feeling for you, you know.
To have this journey on the season like this.
And to think that, you know, you haven't been singing for six years or performing for six years.
I can't imagine that you're not inspiring somebody who has put down the microphone for a bit and said I don't want to do this any more, and they're watching you.
Like you're going to inspire somebody to pick it back up and do what they're supposed to do with their lives.
Thank you.
And your coach, Gwen.
I'm standing up, because I feel like this is my chance, right? Yes, ma'am.
I just want to say that, first of all, I know you are just so incredible, because the problem with you is that you are going to make real records after this.
You're going to have the voice that people recognize on the radio.
Where you're the real thing.
I'm so proud of you.
For the win! - Yes! - Give it up for jeffery Austin.
When we return, "silent And welcome back.
Just 25 minutes away from the finale.
I'm in the tailgate area with coach Blake Shelton.
And the ledge end, Mr.
Ricky scaggs.
What are you doing? Small town.
Mr.
scaggs? A ten-minute song in three seconds.
Coach, how feeling tonight? Break up in a small town.
That's confusing.
Let's take a look at Barrett's holiday performance of "silent night.
" Oooooo silent night holy night all is calm all is bright round young virgin mother and child holy infant so tender and mild sleep in heavenly peace sleep in heavenly peace oooo oooo silent night holy night all is calm all is bright radiant beams from thy holy face with the dawn of redeeming grace Christ the saviour is born Jesus the savior is born ooooo Christ the savior is born Jesus the savior is born woo ooh ooh That is Barrett baber, everybody.
Nice job, Barrett.
Pharrell, we're going to start with you.
Putting the child to sleep over there.
It's getting tough to I don't know, to describe what it is that you guys are doing.
Because all of you guys are like so incredibly talented.
But I will say that, you know, your whole life story, you know, it just it comes out every time you sing.
And that's an amazing ability you have, man.
You touch people every time you sing.
Because you sing your story.
And that's next level.
Congratulations.
The thing that I appreciate about you, and that's a good example, "silent night.
" Everything you perform, you put your own spin on it.
So there's nobody else out there like you, man.
And that's probably the thing that's going to be the reason that you go on and you make it in country music after this.
Because there is nobody else on the radio that sounds anything like you, man.
Congratulations again.
Give it up for Barrett baber.
Nice job, brother.
Best of luck to you, sir.
Coming up next, Jordan's powerful holiday performance of "Mary did you know.
" We're back with less than 15 minutes away from your big finale right here at music star.
What a greatout music year.
Tory Kelly, what are you doing? I'm performing with the amazing jeffery Austin, singing - "hollow.
" - Let's look back at his favorite Christmas song, "Mary did you know.
" Mary, did you know that your baby boy will one day walk on water? Mary, did you know that your baby boy will save our sons and daughters? Did you know that your baby boy has come to make you new and this child that you've delivered will soon deliver you? Mary, did you know that your baby boy will give sight to a blind man? Mary, did you know that your baby boy will calm a storm with his hand? Did you know that your baby boy has walked where angels trod and when you kiss your little baby you've kissed the face of God? Oh, Mary, did you know? Mary, did you know the blind will see the deaf will hear and the dead will live again the lame will leap the dumb will speak the praises of the lamb Mary, did you know that your baby boy is lord of all creation? Mary, did you know that your baby boy would one day rule the nations? Did you know that your baby boy is heaven's perfect lamb and this sleeping child you're holding is the great I am ahhh Mary, did you know Mary, did you know Jordan Smith, everybody.
Incredible response from the studio audience.
Let's talk to our coaches, if we can.
Pharrell? You are I think the people are just ready for you to make a record, man.
Thank you, pharrell.
Adam, I know it might be hard to come up with comments.
But what did you think? Right? What's that? Yeah, right.
That's right.
I have so much I only have things to say to this guy, because things keep coming up at last second.
How could I possibly have anything left.
But one thing I just want to tell you guys, a little story.
This song, which I had never heard before in my life, which is so beautiful.
Is it was a last-minute change.
It was not my idea.
It was his idea.
I had another idea.
Not much time.
Please stop it.
With a last-minute change.
And that shows you, and it's something different about this guy.
This guy is an artist and he has a vision.
And I let it go, because it's his career.
It's his world.
And I'm so happy that I did, because mine wouldn't have been the right choice.
His was the right choice and I'm so overjoyed that you made it.
And I applaud you.
Give it up for Jordan Smith.
Take care.
When we come back, Emily Ann's emotional performance with "burning house All right.
Welcome back.
We are live.
Our coaches are in their seats, almost.
About five minutes left until showtime.
Let's take a look team Blake and Emily Ann Roberts' performance.
It was a burning house.
Enjoy that and we'll see you in a few minutes.
I had a dream about a burning house you were stuck inside I couldn't get you out I laid beside you and pulled you close and the two of us went up in smoke love isn't all that it seems I did you wrong I'll stay here with you until this dream is gone I've been sleepwalking been wandering all night trying to take what's lost and broke and make it right I've been sleepwalking too close to the fire but it's the only place that I can hold you tight in this burning house see you at a party and you look the same I could take you back but people don't ever change wish that we could go back in time I'd be the one you thought you'd find love isn't all that it seems I did you wrong I'll stay here with you until this dream is gone I've been sleepwalking too close to the fire but it's the only place that I can hold you tight in this burning house the flames are getting bigger now in this burning house I can hold on to you somehow in this burning house oh and I don't wanna wake up I been sleepwalking and wandering all night trying to take what's lost and broken and make it right I've been sleepwalking to hold to the fire but it's the only place that I can hold you tight in this burning house All right.
Thank you, coaches.
They're up.
Let's start with Gwen.
That was my favorite of you so far.
You the crazy thing about you is you are you're really incredible, beautiful singer.
You look incredible.
I want to just look at you the whole night.
But you also know how to deliver the intention of the lyric at 17? I don't understand how you do that so well.
I mean and you're just starting.
I mean, you have a whole life ahead of you.
If you start writing songs, forget about it.
It's over.
- Over, over! - And your coach, Blake.
Let me tell you something.
- Can I just say something? - Please, please.
Flawless.
That was flawless.
I would encourage people to take note and vote for what they just heard, because if anybody in this competition could have just pulled an upset, it was that right there, sis.
That was unbelievable.
Give it up one more time for Emily Ann Roberts.
Come on in, everybody! That is going to do it.
We are now just about 15 seconds away from going live with our big finale.
Everybody ready? All right.
It's an awesome show.
