Jermaine paul, your winner from last year, one of the most added
Pop 10 along with yourself and christina.
Good news for you. You have got cassadee, terry.
How do you see their futures going and any involvement that
You might have in it? >> oh, my gosh, their future is
Bright, both of them. My involvement can be as much or
As little as they want it to be. At this point, they may be
Going, all right, I've had enough of blake.
I would love to be a par of their careers as long as they
Want me to be. >> carson: Well said.
Thank you, coaches. We appreciate that.
On a sad note tonight, our thoughts and prayers are with
The family of jenni rivera. She was a coach on "the voice

On "the voice" makes me think that I can do it too.
>> I am kind of getting emotional, because years ago, I

Adam levine? >> it is over.
You did a good job. The other day I said out loud
With witnesses, trevin should do "wind beneath my wings."
When you asked me, carson, what should cee lo do as a coach,
That's exactly what you should do as a coach.
>> christina aguilera, your thoughts?
>> wow, that song really took me back when I saw "wind beneath my
Wings" with bette midler. When I was first starting off a
7-year-old wedding singer, I sang it at every wedding, every
Talent show, every competition. I grew up singing that song but
I never sang it as crazy great as that.
You took it to a whole new level.
Congratulations! >> thank you.
>> carson: Coach cee lo? >> trevin, we're at a very
Important and critical place in this competition and I've seen
You grow and I've seen you progress and I've seen you
Become more and more polished and refined and more confident
And certain of yourself. These are the most important
About me. I end up repeating myself about
How amazingly beautiful your voice is.
It is always my pleasure. >> thank you, coach.

Representing team blake, cassadee pope.
Vying for your votes. Let's see.
Christina aguilera, what did you think?
>> cassadee, you know I'm a fan. Sometimes your voice sounds so
Right on that you almost sound auto tuned because it is so
Perfect and you are on point and that's something that kind of
Blows me away every time about you.
There are a lot of artists out there who could only wish they
Could do live what they do on records and with you, that is so
Beautiful. The passion you evoke truly
Brings your lyrics to life. I believe you.
I think that's what's so important.
Blake, you have a true superstar on your hands.
[ applause ] >> blake, give me some thoughts
On that. >> first of all, before I start
Reading about this tomorrow, the reason that cassadee has done a
Handful of country songs on this show is because we figured out
Something about her, which is she has the ability to connect
With the lyric like nobody else that I have probably ever seen
On this show. It's amazing in some of these
Heartfelt country songs that I happen to know, like this keith
Urban song, is so perfect for you, because nobody else, nobody
Else who has ever been on this show can do what you just did at
That moment. That was so special.
>> thank you, blake. >> if you want cassadee in the
Final vote, call toll free 1-855-voice-03.

Facebook or download cassadee's song on itunes.

Songs of all times. You are watching the voice.

Important. It is just a silly tv show but
It is pretty damn great. You did an incredible job.

That song is -- that's sacred ground.
There are only a handful of singers in the world who should
Attempt that. You're one of them, by the way.
None of us will ever be able to sit here and scientifically ever
Decide what perfection is in music but in my heart, in my
Absolute heart, I believe that that was musical perfection.
