Adam levine, how did we start tonight?
>> wow, guys, nick, I'm so happy.
This is so great. This is the first time I've seen
Someone this late in the game being irreverent saying I want
To have fun and enjoy myself. I don't want to make it this
Heavy thing. It is so cool.
Not only do we see a different side of you, the crazy kicking
Side. But we also just meant like
Sometime we forget that this is so entertaining and fun.
And man, I'm so happy that you decided to take this moment and
Just entertain this crowd and have a good time.
>> hey, baby. >> carson: Blake shelton?
>> he's right. That was so much fun.
And no matter what happens from here forward, I'm sure you'll be
Expecting a call from the rockettes.
Those are some serious hot kicks.
That was just fun. I am, too, glad that you went
There with it and just had fun with this thing.
Tonight is a celebration. You made it one.
>> carson: Thank you, blake. And now your coach, cee lo
Green, what did you think? >> yeah.
Adam makes a good point. Sometimes we forget how fun this
Is supposed to be. Your honesty is always
Appreciated. Your humiliated is always,
Always heart-warming. But your fire tonight burned
This heart down. [ cheers and applause ]
I've got to give credit where it was due.
We were going back and forth about some different options,
Man, and really, really, you know, end this thing with a
Bang. And it's like, it was such a
Wonderful idea. I loved it.
I'm forever a fan of yours. >> thank you, coach.

Coaches, some thoughts on that. A great moment for cassadee.
We'll start with miss christina aguilera.
>> hi, cassadee. First of all you look drop dead
Gorgeous! [ cheers and applause ]
I got to be playful but you look stunning.
I love that dress on you. I'm so enamored by your whole
Presence tonight. Your stage presence.
Your voice, you nailed that song once again.
You give it such heart and such great emotion.
I just, your coach can completely sing anything so the
Sky is the limit for you. It's your choice, pop, country,
Anything. I'm still sad you're blake but
What a perfect place. When a perfect fit for you.
>> carson: Thank you, christina. Adam?
>> hi, cassadee. You're so shiny.
Yeah. I mean -- so what?
You know, the thing I've noticed about your voice over time is
How you've developed just as an instrument.
You know, you've developed your voice so much.
It is so finely tuned and so strong.
You have so much to be proud of. Look at you.
I think we're all very proud of everybody left in this thing.
And you're really shiny which is really awesome.
>> carson: Coach blake shelton. >> you know how I feel about
That song and you singing it. It is perfect.
And sitting here watching the song always seems to be
Appropriate. And right now with america's
Heart is heavy right now. And that's about healing.
And to remove you from it and me from it is just, it was just a
Great moment. Somehow starts the healing
Process. That's what music does and can
Do. And gosh dang it, cassadee.
You amaze me. You truly do.
>> carson: Thank you, coach. Another big hand for
Cassadee pope! Straight ahead, blake shelton
Joins terry mcdermott for an aerosmith party song you won't
Want to miss. This is "the voice," live on
Nbc.
>> carson: Welcome back to "the voice."
We are live in los angeles for the finals.
It may seem like an unlikely pairing, a country star from
Oklahoma and a rock n' roller from scotland.
But blake and terry's mutual appreciation of great music and
A good time make for one perfect partnership.
This week, blake invited terry's family over to his house for a
Surprise. Take a look.
>> hey, guys, welcome to the house.
>> yeah. It's a pretty big house.
>> it's an honor to spend time with you and my family.
It's very kind. You all actually met in l.A.
I didn't know that. >> I ended up staying here after
Katrina hit new orleans. Terry helped me a lot.
>> you can do something. >> it was really cool to be able
To hang out with terry today. He is such a family guy.
>> I had this package that came in from overseas.
Blake, he had a little surprise for me.
My father who I haven't seen in four years.
>> hi! >> great to see you.
>> it's almost impossible for him to get away.
The fact that he's come here means a lot.
It is very refreshing that he gets to be here.
He set me on my road toward music and hopefully he can see
Me with a pretty incredible journey.
>> I used to have to go in there like I do gigs now.
>> terry once said to me, why can't you get a proper job like
Other dads? >> I think it worked out all
Right. >> I think terry deserves to win
The voice because he's been trying so hard ever since he was
In his early teens. So this has been a long road for
Him. >> we've heard you say it a
Million time that you're doing this for your family.
You're surrounded by them now. And it's got to be a great
Feeling. >> yep.
>> some way to have come this far, to have my dad appear and
To be part of it is very fitting and we'll be together for what
Will be an important chapter in my life.
And hopefully it will be the start of another.

Last names here. Terry, I know, I could tell that

Or there was some sort of malfunction.
I could tell from your body language.
The biggest challenge of being a great singer, especially on this
Stage with all these people watching you, you recovered.

You do it week after week. Every time you get on stage,
Something epic happens, terry. The people in the room know it.
The people at home know it. You make these classic rock
Songs sound new again. Nobody can do that.

3 f2 .
I want to know what love is. Let's get some thoughts.
Christina aguilera. >> I mean, you know, yes.
Your voice is incredible and all of that that we already know.
I think that what's to be pointed out right now is the
Fact to be on this show, I mean, everybody always sees e glthz
And the glam and the whole thing that you see but it takes strong
Work ethic. I know like your voice must be
Tired. You must be tired.
You're still plowing through and bringing it home every single
Time. That's really commendable, you
Guys. I have to say.
Like terry, today, I don't know, how many sungs have you sung so
Far? It's like a lot.
I always say, get into this business because you cannot eat,
Sleep or breathe without music. The work ethic involved will
Kick you. And you are it right back.
>> blake shelton. >> she's right.
And to add what christina is saying, it is interesting that
You picked that as your breakout song.
I agree, that was your breakout moment on this show.
Because you did it with such passion.
But I've got to say, I think you sang that song better tonight
Than you did the first time around.
And the first time you sang it --
[ cheers and applause ] you absolutely drive me crazy.
Because you blow me away. I don't know how you do it,
Terry. But I am so honored to have been
Associated with you at some point in your career.
I really am. >> the pleasure is all mine.
>> give it up for terry mcdermott, everybody.
Carson: Coming up, it's nicholas david and coach cee lo with a
Funky duet when "the voice" continues on nbc.
The finals.
>> carson: Welcome back to "the voice," the live finals.
Two unique artists found each other at the blind auditions
When cee lo pushed his buttons. This week, nicholas and his
Family spent some time hanging out with his coach for one last
Talk. >> we're here with my mom and
Dad, my gal and my two boys to give cee lo a better
Understanding of who I am. >> I have to know who raised
This guy. >> he was in second grade.
And he said he would like to take voice lessons.
And we found a teacher and I said if he can't sing, be honest
With me. He went in the room and did his
La la singing thing. And he said he wanted him.
So that was pretty cool. >> I think people can tell from
Nick's journey on "the voice" that we're a very tight family.
You can see that nick is doing the same thing with his family.
>> how has the journey been for you?
>> it's been a sacrifice that I'm glad we're making.
There was a point in time where nicholas was like, I want to be
A dad, I want to be a family man.
I can't step back. It was hard.
>> our family has sacrificed a lot to get nick where he is now.
To be here where he has these opportunities that may allow our
Families to change and spend more time together is a
Beautiful place to be. >> thank you for taking the time
To see these two worlds coming together.
Like three families in one. >> no doubt.
>> he wanted me to give that to you.
>> you licked all the salt off. >> it was really cool to sit
Down with cee lo and my family. >> give it here.
>> after today I have even more inspiration.
Even more strength to like get ready for this final round.
I am truly elated. Carson: Singing, "play that
Funky music," please welcome nicholas david and his coach

Adam levine. Some thoughts on cassadee's
Final performance. >> man, you know, cassadee, I
Wanted you on my team. Obviously, I bugged you
Sometimes. I was really critical.
>> the great thing is I don't care that you were not on my
Team. You accomplished everything that
I was really hoping you would accomplish on blake's team so my
Ego has nothing to do with this. I'm so proud of you and happy
That you're here at this moment. >> carson: Coach blake shelton.
What more can you say about your girl?
>> I don't know what more I can say.
You know, for every great moment that you've had on this show and
You've had a lot of them. I mean, I've never heard you
Sing as good as you did tonight. That's saying a lot.
