Daly: Last night, season three of "The Voice"
kicked off with a bang.
[ "Start me up" plays ]
Our four superstar coaches...
...showed why they are the best in the business.
♪ Start me up ♪
Daly: It was a night of big surprises...
♪ I don't want to live that way ♪
Oh! ♪ Reading into every word you say ♪
You remember me? You guys remember me?
If there ever was a story to tell
- about how not to give up on your dream... Blake: - Exactly.
...it's standing right in front of us right now.
Daly: ...Bold talent... ♪ all 'cause you won't listen ♪
♪ listen ♪
- How old are you? - I just recently turned 18.
Whoo! What?
What planet do you come from, dude?
Daly: ...Broken hearts...
Christina: - Don't cry, sweet pea. Cee Lo: - Please don't cry.
That makes me so sad.
Daly: ...And intense competition...
I do not want Blake Shelton to say one word.
You are the best country singer
we've ever heard on this show.
For God sakes, man. What is wrong with you?
...as our coaches began building their biggest teams yet.
16 people. It's very exciting.
New artists, new talent. It's... it's gonna be good.
Daly: Cee Lo picked up his first two artists.
I'm gonna have to go with Cee Lo.
[ Cheers and applause ]
- Cee Lo, we got this. Adam: - Oh, wow!
Daly: Christina also scored two.
I'm gonna trust the voice within and go with Christina.
Ah! Christina.
Daly: Blake landed two vocal stars.
I think I'm gonna join Blake's team.
- I'm gonna have to go with Blake. - Yeah!
Daly: And two pop rockers joined team Adam.
I got to go with Adam.
My man Adam.
Daly: Tonight, they continue their quest
to discover and develop the next great voice.
I want to make you the best singer you can be.
Daly: And the artists are determined to make a team.
This is probably one of the biggest things I've ever done, and I'm ready to do this.
You're seeing more and more great singers and great artists
audition for "The Voice."
♪ Hanging out his mouth, he's a cowboy kid ♪
The blind auditions are very exciting to me
because I get a chance to judge simply by the voice.
Daly: The blind auditions continue right now.
As our coaches make their way to the stage,
the first artist of the day, Adriana Louise,
is hoping she has what it takes to fill one of those spots.
Adriana: I've been waitressing,
bartending in New York just to pay the bills
while singing and maybe gigging here and there.
- Hi. It's so nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.
- Welcome. How you doing, brother? - Hi.
- Nice to meet you. - Nice to see you.
What does music mean to you?
Music is my world.
I feel like music saved my life.
When I was 9 years old,
my family and I went through a horrible tragedy.
One day, my dad was closing up his store,
and this gang grabbed him, and, basically, their plan
was to get my father to open up a safe,
but he was not cooperating with them.
So they came to our house and held us at gunpoint.
My uncle happened to be on the block
and saw my mother walking out with these two strange men,
called 911.
The cops pulled over the car, rescued her.
We finally got reunited, and that was, by far
[voice breaking] one of the best moments of my life.
Oh, God.
- How old were you? - I was 9.
I'm so sorry to hear that. That must have been just brutal.
- It was. - Right.
After that incident,
the only thing that made me happy was my music.
It entirely got me through that situation.
[ Dramatic music plays ]
I've wanted this for so long,
and the fact that this competition
is with such amazing artists is kind of incredible
and an opportunity that does not come along at all
in this industry.
Singing is my life, and music is my life,
and the one thing that you can never take away from me
is my voice.
Good luck.
Man: Oh, this is it. This is it!
- Oh, my God. All right. - Oh, no.

There should be no battles. It's just me and you.
- I got you. - You're Christina Aguilera,
and you're talking to me right now. [ Laughing ]
- This is amazing. - Oh, I want to keep talking to you.
I want you on my team because you can sing! [ Gasps ]
You can sing. I love... I love that.
That's the fifth time she's said that today.
- Oh, shut up. - Today.
Don't... don't be bitter. Don't be bitter.
What's your name, you beautiful thing, you?
I'm Adriana Louise, and I'm from Brooklyn, New York.
That's right.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Adriana, you move, and you sing,
and you're poised like a consummate professional.
- Thank you, Cee Lo. - We look like we just got married.
[ Laughter ]
Did you just say you look like "we just got married"?
- I'm just saying like the color coordination. - Oh, yeah, yeah. I see it.
We're at a reception, like, you know, we're on the way... you know.
[ Laughs ]
Man, you have that voice that a lot of people
try to have on record and don't have live,
and you have it live, which is really rare.
Any one of us would be so lucky to have you on our team
that I'm begging you, please.
[ Laughter ]
Adam Levine is begging me for something.
This is... this is fantastic.
Can I throw my hat in the ring here?
Yeah. [ Laughs ]
And by the way, congratulations on the wedding.
[ Chuckles ] Thank you.
But that middle part of your vocals
is so special that it just... it makes me smile.
It was unbelievable.
Baby, I'm smiling way bigger, okay?
I don't know what kind of genre
or style of music you want to do,
but I want to get inside your mind.
I want to know who you are.
I believe in you already. I think you're a superstar.
- Thank you. - And I really, really want to be the one
that's by your side, taking you to the end.
Thank you. Oh, my God!
[ Audience shouting ]
He's pervy.
[ Laughing ]
Ah!
This is so hard. Um...
Come on.
Let me love you! I got to have you!
I love you all.
But the first record that I ever bought with my own money
when I was 9 years old...
[ Dramatic music plays ]
...was Christina Aguilera,
- so I'm gonna go with miss Christina Aguilera. - Me?! Aah!
Aah!

Daly: Coming up, an artist ready to fight for a spot on a team.
[ Woman screams ]
Being a wrestler is what's made me a great artist.
♪ Sweet home Alabama ♪
It's helped me to push my musical limits.
Daly: And later...
I got to give my pitch.
...our coaches continue to fight for the singers they want.
I kind of want a private concert, to be honest.
Blake: Whoa!
Blake is brilliant at doing the same thing
kind of over and over again.
Oh!
Which resulted in that banner that says,
"Blake Shelton: Season two champ."
[ Laughter, cheers and applause ]
♪ This is "The Voice" ♪
Daly: Welcome back to "The Voice,"
where our next artist, 22-year-old Casey Muessigmann,
hopes his name can help him transition
from wrestling to singing.
The last name "Muessigmann," [music man]
It's kind of funny how people think it's a nickname,
but it's actually my last name, and I have...
I mean, I can't take credit for it.
My parents gave it to me, so...
Throughout my life, I've had two strong passions,
and it's easily been music and wrestling.
Being a wrestler is what's made me a great artist.
It's pushed me, and knowing my physical limits
has helped me push my musical limits.
Hey. How you doing, man?
- What's up, Carson? - Good to see you.
- I'm pretty darn excited, man. - Yeah?
I don't get a lot of opportunities
to perform in Iowa, so coming out here is...
What are you doing with school? Are you in school?
Yeah, actually, I wrestle, and I brought you a few pictures.
Oh, this is cool. Yeah.
There's me kicking some guy's tail.
So, is there an aspiration for professional wrestling?
You know, when I went back to school,
I pretty much put music on a back burner
just so I could compete again, collegiately,
and I got hurt.
When I went off to college and I was wrestling,
my knee got caught and just... pfft!
You just hear it pop, and it just deflated me.
- Ended up tearing my meniscus. - Oh, my gosh.
It was just painful for me to see how much I had slid.
I gained 100 pounds, and I weighed 370 pounds.
And my life was pretty much just in shambles.
So God gave me the strength and pushed me back towards music,
and, literally, I pulled an 180-degree turnaround.
I found myself. You know, I lost 100 pounds.
So I went through some rough times,
but I couldn't be happier with where I am today.
[ Dramatic music plays ]
[ Breathes deeply ]
I want to prove to everybody out there
that I've got what it takes.
I've got the heart, I've got the voice,
and I've got the talent, and I got the work ethic.
I just want an opportunity.
- Good luck. - Yes, ma'am.

[ Laughs ]
Do me a favor... will you just say
that you would have chosen me over him, had I turned around?
No. [Bleep]
[ Laughter ]
I like that. What's your name?
My name is Casey Muessigmann. Casey "Music Man"?
You know, we were having a conversation earlier about country music
and how it's written in these run-on sentences.
I kind of talk like that. You know, but, uh...
[ Laughter ] You do.
Cee Lo: So this classic Southern rock-'n'-roll song,
you gave it that country kind of swagger,
and it had... but it had soul, too.
Like, it was more like of a fusion,
so it didn't seem like one thing.
And I'm not just one thing, so it interests me.
You know what I'm saying?
Yes, sir. I-I definitely do.
All right, so... so you got a choice.
It's either... wait a minute.
I haven't even... I haven't even sold my car yet.
I kind of want to hear what, you know, the man has to say.
He is the man. The man!
[ Cheers and applause ]
Well, now, I think your voice is really strong,
and you have... you do have
that Southern rock element, also.
But I'll tell you something else...
that ass-spanking you were doing up there...
[ Cheers and applause ] ...That's what had me.
Can you give us a little bit of that ass-spanking that you were doing?
Yeah! [ Laughter ]
I mean, you missed it.
Yeah, I didn't see that part. You the only one that noticed that, man.
Oh, I was loving that.
[ Laughter ] Uh...
So it's up to you, man.
Well...
[ Audience shouting ]
[ Dramatic music plays ]
You know... all right.
I walked into this competition wanting one thing,
and that was to make great country music with Blake Shelton.
- I'm going with Blake. - All right!
[ Cheers and applause ]
- Dude. - Congratulations, man.
Thank you so much. Thank you.
Blake: Every time I hear a country song start,
my heart starts beating.
I mean, I want a country singer so badly
to bring to the finals of this thing.
Casey has got the most important thing, and that's a great voice.
I mean, he's just a bad-ass singer. I mean, he's awesome.
Yo, he was doing that on the way out.
He was like...
[ Laughter ]
That's a life-altering experience that I just had in there.
I worked my ass off to get here,
and my family to be here...
And be supporting me the whole way through,
I've never felt stronger in my entire life.

I'm 24 years old, and I'm from San Diego.
I'm a full-time musician. I gig four to five times a week.
[ Guitar playing ]
I grew up in Wyoming in mostly a white community of 3,000 people.
I am biracial. My mom is white. My dad's black.
I had a lot of people that loved me in the community

without really knowing me.
That kind of helped develop me as a person, really.
- You play any instruments? - I play the guitar.
I learned to play when I was... got my jaw broken.
- You got your jaw broken? - Yeah.
When I was 19, I was punched in the jaw.
I had my mouth wired shut for about six weeks.
Was that a big setback for you?

He has plenty of music-industry experience, just not onstage.
How are you?
Ryan: I'm a co-production coordinator for Leann Rimes.
I stock the bus with water and food.
I load the production office in, set up the stage.
Taking care of Leann, of course, is my first and foremost.
And it's really an awesome experience to be a part of.
1, 2, 3!
[ Singing indistinctly ]
Ryan: The way Leann found out that I was a singer
was because we've all been out to karaoke.
I started singing, and the next thing I knew,
I saw Leann right by the side of the stage, just watching.
Leann: I was blown away. I really was.
I'd never heard him sing before,
and it's not something he ever really talked about.
But he's gifted, for sure.
I think Ryan is perfect for "The Voice"
because they're looking for someone who can actually sing,
so I think Ryan fits that very well.
And he's the cutest thing in the world, so I love him to death.
Ryan: Having Leann tell me that I was a good singer was amazing,
but to have the four coaches on the panel say the same thing
would be incredible.
[ Dramatic music plays ]
[ Humming ]
This is beyond the moment of my life.
- It's probably one of the biggest things I've ever done. - Okay, good luck.

Yeah, I love country music.
That's... that's cool. So do I. What's your name?
My name's Ryan Fogarty.
I do think it's very cool to turn around,
and it's you singing a country song, so...
I can't say that it was a bad country vocal, though.
I'm just not looking for that at that moment,
and it wasn't enough to compel me to even take a chance.
It has to kind of transcend country music
- to be something that's gonna affect all of us. - Exactly.
- Fair enough. - Yeah, I think that you have a good voice.
I was just looking for that overall consistency
just throughout,
and it kind of had its falloffs here and there.
I completely agree with you.
Chris young is like a little brother to me,
and what I found myself doing was comparing you to him,
and so I was hoping that you would kind of stray away
from... from the way Chris would approach that song,
and I just didn't hear that,
and that's kind of what I was looking for, but...
You're really good, man... no question.
Thank you all so much. Thank you so much.
I appreciate you guys.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Good job, man.
Blake: You have to be great to get a button push on this show,
and I think he will be great.
I just think he's just got a little bit...
little bit more development that needs to happen.
Man: Good job, Ryan. Hey, good job.
Ryan: I know Leann's gonna be like,
"you know where you could have got better,"
"and you know where you're gonna get better."
So she's been a big support, and I know she'll continue to be.

who's fought hard to make it to "The Voice" stage,
can impress our coaches.
- I understand it's been a tough year for you. - Yeah.
Tell me a little bit about it.
Uh, about a year and a half, two years ago,
I contracted a virus that shut down all my organs.
Mackenzie: I had started to get bad headaches
over a couple days,
so I checked into the urgent-care center.
They first said I had bronchitis,
but there was so many toxins around my heart
that it caused it to fail.
Turns out I had viral myocarditis.
I was put into an induced coma
on a ventilator and a feeding tube.
I was watching my son literally just passing away.
I can't even des... what was that like?
The whole experience
was the scariest thing that I've ever been through.
The scariest thing.
The amazing thing about it was he made a promise
that he would wake up for Super Bowl Sunday,
and, uh, he woke up the night before.
And that's when we looked up all the audition dates,
- was right after the game. - Uh-huh.
And that's how we decided
- we were gonna go try out for "The Voice." - That's great.
Right now, my heart is better, for the most part.
It was a miracle that everything happened the way it did.
Mackenzie, where was music in all of this for you?
It helped me, like, cope with everything.
Like, that's when I first began
to, like, really get serious with writing music.
Now I have a passion for sharing my gift with other people.
I know if that experience wouldn't have happened,
I wouldn't be here, 'cause I would have
never taken the chances that got me to be here.
Good luck, buddy.
I just know that too many people take waking up every morning,
breathing every morning, they take that for granted.
I would have been one of those people, but not anymore.
If I get a chair to turn around,
it would make all this mean something.
It would just give worth
to something that I've put so much effort into at this point.
I sing with passion, and I sing from the heart,
and I'm definitely gonna give this heart
as much as it can take.
Oh, yeah!

Christina: Hey.
Hello. What's your name?
My name is Mackenzie Bourg.
How many people enjoyed Mackenzie?
[ Cheers and applause ]
Thank you.
Christina: I-I have to say, I did, too.
I really did. I thought you were fun.
You chose a fun song.
I love that song. Um...
I was waiting for it to go somewhere,
and it just didn't hit that place for me.
But Cee Lo heard it! And you're on his team.
Thank you for doing that.
I mean... I mean, it's surreal.
I was watching the Super Bowl with my dad, and he was like,
- "you should... you should see if you could get on that." - Aww.
And here I am today, you know?
[ Cheers and applause ]
Thank you.
I love the Harry Potter vibe, too. [ Laughs ]
- That's awesome. - I can work with Harry Potter. That's fine.
I like it. I like it.
No, you have a great smile.
I think he kind of looks like Justin Bieber a little bit.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Doesn't he?
Let's go back to Harry Potter.
Oh!
All right, all right, all right.
There's a quir... there's, like, a quirkiness in your voice,
I think, that Cee Lo's gonna be really good...
Cee Lo: - I like it. I liked you, man. - Yeah.
- Yeah, man. - You deserve to be in the show, man.
- Thank you. Thank you. - Come on down, bro.
[ Cheers and applause ]
- Thank you so much. - Good job.
- I'm not gonna let you down. - Good job, man.
Whoo! You the man!
Cee Lo: Mackenzie was really good.
I'm surprised I'm the only one that turned around,
but, hey, that just makes me winning this competition easier.
Make it easier for me, guys. That's cool with me.
Harry Potter meets Justin Bieber.
[ Christina laughs ]
A magical pop star.
Hey, do you guys know this guy?
[ Cheers and applause ]
Oh!
- Good job. - Oh, my God!
Big Mac is back. Here we go.
I'm so happy for you. [ Laughs ]
Daly: Coming up, in a "Voice" first,
an artist performs entirely in Spanish.
♪ Para bailar la bamba ♪
♪ This is "The Voice" ♪
Daly: Welcome back to the blind auditions,
where our coaches are eager to find the best possible voices
for their teams of 16.
Christina: You got to keep your ears peeled,
and when you're moved, you got to be on that trigger.
You know, this... it's the moment of truth.
Daly: Our final artist is hoping "The Voice"
can help him break free from his musical roots.
[ Julio speaking Spanish ]
I started singing at the age of 3,
and when I was around 6 years old,
I fell in love with mariachi.
♪ México lindo y querido ♪
What I love about mariachi
is the fact that even if it's a sad song,
you have fun playing it, and people enjoy it.
[ Singing in Spanish ]
For the last couple years,
I've been playing with my mariachi band
three nights a week.
This is how I support my family.
But feel that it's my time to do something more.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Don't get nervous. [ Chuckles ]
In my family, my mom, me, and my younger sister
are the ones working right now.
My dad's diagnosed with epilepsy,
so it's not very easy for him to get a job.
It's been hard for us, but my family means everything to me.
Good luck.
[ Dramatic music plays ]
I will be the first artist ever
to sing an entire song in Spanish on "The Voice."
And if those four chairs turn around,
it would be my dream come true.
I'm gonna go out there, and I'm gonna show America what I got.
Okay, good luck.
Woman: [ inhales sharply ] Oh!
He looks great. Ooh!

Jackass!
I like it.
What's up, guys?
Adam: - Yo, that was awesome. - Well done, man.
- Thank you. - What is your name, by the way?
Julio Castillo.
That was so much fun! I had so much fun.
I was like...
- Yeah. - Thank you.
Listen, man, you saw how quickly I turned around.
I just think you have
a very strong and technically great voice.
- I mean, it's just really good and really powerful. - Thank you.
And let me just say this, too...
you're standing there with that particular jacket on,
and it made me think,
if this was, like, a high-school gymnasium,
there would be a banner hanging down here,
right about there that says,
"Blake Shelton: Season two champ of 'The Voice.'"
it would probably be hanging right in there somewhere,
where you'd be able to see it.
Okay.
[ Laughter ]
Cee Lo: What's up, bro?
- I'm sorry. You lost me, dude. - Yo, man.
Cee Lo: - That was great, man. - Thank you.
That was great. That was great.
You know what, man? What was so special about it?
I saw so many people stand up in pride, you know,
and a song that's so cherished, like "La bamba."
It was just a great moment for the show,
and you did a great job, and...
How long you been singing?
I started when I was about 3 years old, singing mariachi,
so the majority of the stuff I sing is in Spanish.
Keep doing that, man. It's awesome.
Thank you.
Would you like to do something mariachi right now
so we can check it out or what?
Uh...
[ Cheers and applause ]
I-I think the people have spoken, man. Please.
This song is called "El rey."
♪ Yo se bien que estoy afuera ♪
♪ pero El Dia que yo me muera ♪
Wow. ♪ Se que tendras que llorar ♪
♪ y asi te me vas a quedar ♪
[ Cheers and applause ]
Yo, that was awesome!
Well, you know, different is what I do.
- Yeah. - You know.
That's definitely true.
Different is what I do.
But Blake is brilliant at doing the same thing
kind of over and over again, so...
[ Laughter ]
Which... which resulted in that banner.
[ Laughing ] It's hanging right there.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Adam: It's your time to choose.
Yeah, who do you choose? What's your choice?
[ Indistinct shouting ]
[ Dramatic music plays ]
Come on, man.
I think I'm gonna go with Blake.
Yes!
♪ Whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh, it's always a good time ♪
♪ whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh ♪
You made the right choice.
Congratulations, man.
♪ It's always a good time ♪
[ Laughing ]
Blake: Man, when Julio got up there and started singing,
my heart started pounding, and I was already excited.
And he did it as good as Ritchie Valens did it.
I mean, and that's... those are big shoes to fill.
You know what I mean?
Just honored that he chose me.
[ As Blake ] I see a gymnasium and a kitty cat.
[ Laughing ] And I see a high-school dance.
I see a horse.
Is he still talking?
And a... a unicorn.
Cee Lo: Okay.
[ Laughter ]
[ Woman laughs ]
Whoo! [ Laughs ]
Wow! We thought it was great!
Yeah?
Feels great, you know, I'm really proud to,
you know, have done as good as I did
and for those two coaches to turn around.
I really appreciate it.
And I'm glad I got the chance to show what I got.
♪ It's always a good time ♪
Daly: As night two of the blind auditions ends,
here's where the teams stand.
Adam fails to find an artist
to join soulful singer Bryan Keith
and Texas rocker Joe Kirkland.
Blake picks up former wrestler Casey Muessigmann
and mariachi singer Julio Caesar Castillo,
who joins classic country singer Greisha Harrison
and Scottish rocker Terri Mcdermott.
Cee Lo lands the inspirational Mackenzie Bourg
who joins 18-year old new yorker Trevin Hunte
and returning singer Daniel Rosa.
And Christina adds the smooth-sounding Aquile
and fearless New York waitress Adriana Louise to her team,
which includes pop artist Devyn Deloera
and former gospel singer De'borah.
