[ Cheers and applause ]
Daly: Give it up for Jesse and Taylor!
Yeah!
Blake, let's get your thoughts.
Great performance by both of you,
and I think Taylor probably had more work cut out for him.
But, man, way to step up to the plate.
Jesse, it gave you the opportunity
to have to really raise the bar for yourself
because if he's gonna step up to that level,
then you got to take the next step, you know,
and that's what that battle felt like,
and that's why it was so good.
But I got to stick with my country guy over here.
I'm pretty impressed with how Taylor stepped up.
Thank you, Blake. Alicia.
Alicia: Taylor, there were moments when you stepped out
and I liked that you got really strong with it,
and, Jesse, I think that your voice
has such a unique style to it.
It creates a world all its own,
so I look forward to seeing what Adam chooses.
Daly: Thank you, Coach. Gwen Stefani.
Way to not pick anybody. Good.
Slid that right on past.
Gwen: You guys are both your own characters.
It's very clear who you are.
What I love about you is your look is unforgettable.
Like, you look like a perfect cowboy.
[ Laughter ]
Jesse, clearly you are super gifted
and you can do anything with your voice.
If you wanted to, you could blow the whole roof off.
I loved how you had the dynamics in your voice,
and then you were like, "By the way"...
[ Imitates guitar ] Like, you know?
"Oh, yeah. I can also totally shred. Oh, whoops."
That's what I'm saying, yeah.
I think I would go with Jesse.
Something about your spirit was just fun to watch.
Daly: Thank you, Gwen.
Adam, of course, you have the final decision.
You were both one-chair turns,
and -- and I take a certain amount of pride in that
'cause I believe that I see something in you
that no one else saw, so I never want that to end.
Taylor, you really impressed me today,
and I remember you trying to compete a little bit with Jesse.
I was like, "No, man, don't do that."
Yeah. "Do your thing the way you would."
And you did exactly that, and you did an incredible job.
Jesse, you are really gifted,
and music kind of effortlessly flows out of you.
The people who do really well on this show I believe
are the ones who really kind of share their joy
for making music with the world,
and that's exactly what you both did,
and I'm super proud of you guys, so thank you.
Thanks, man. Thank you, thank you, sir.
[ Applause ]
That was nice, Adam.
Adam, who's the winner of this battle?
Um...
[ Audience shouting ]
The winner...
The winner of this battle...
...is Jesse.
Daly: Jesse, congratulations.
You're gonna move on to the knockouts.
