Oh!
Oh, my God.
Whoo!
What's your name?
My name is Vanessa Ferguson.
I'm probably not your favorite person right now 'cause I'm...
[ Laughter ]
...I'm the only person that didn't turn.
-You're fired. -And I'm fired.
Oh, God. Don't even -- Let's not go there.
Uh, yeah, so you're great, and I love you.
Once these three dorks turned around,
I was like, "Now I look stupid." ...er.
[ Laughter ]
I'm a dumb dummy.
Aw, you're not a dummy. You just don't have ears.
[ Laughter ]
Yes!
-Hi, Vanessa. -Hi, Blake.
How you doing? Where you from?
I'm doing well. I'm from Greensboro, North Carolina.
It's the home of Wrangler. Did you know that?
-Yes! Yes! -No, I didn't know that.
That's where Wrangler's made. Yeah, of course. You knew that?
-Yes! -Somebody knew that.
Somebody knew that back there. Is that your family?
-That's my family. -Yee-haw!
[ Laughter ]
Little -- Little connection.
I am probably not the guy that you were thinking,
"Man, Blake would be a great coach for me, but --"
That's not true.
-Oh! -Oh!
See, Blake? Come on, now. Don't say --
-[ Laughs ] -Over here.
Sorry, I had to re-enter with a little more confidence.
I've never seen you run that fast in your life.
[ Laughter ]
Vanessa, for you to step out there
and hit that note
and hold it for the length of time
that you held it out there,
that's one of my favorite things about your voice.
-Mine too. -You know what?
I'd love the -- the chance to work with you.
I'm gonna listen to the things
that these two girls are gonna say
and then find holes in their argument
and then circle back around,
drop a little bit of dynamite in there.
[ Southern accent ] Dynamite.
[ Laughter, applause ]
Thank you.
Vanessa, it's so great to hear you sing and to vibe with you.
I love your song choice.
I love the way you put your spin on it.
-I'm from New York originally. -Okay!
-Oh, God. -There you go.
-That's what I'm just saying. -See? It's over.
Just forget it, guys. It's not happening.
I can't imagine what I'm gonna discover about you
in regards to the other talents that you have, your story,
and what you're gonna bring to the world, you know,
'cause that's what it's about, and how they can resonate --
What do you mean you're gonna discover?
Why do you say you're gonna discover? I'm gonna discover.
Well, I'm hoping that I'm going to discover it
more than Gwen or Blake.
Ohh.
-Oh! -I just -- I just have to say
you have to speak what you want.
-Right. -You know what I mean?
I'm a big advocate about saying what you want.
Well, I want you to quit talking.
And I would like -- [ Laughter ]
And I would like to help you bring all of you out.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Honestly, from the moment the song started, I was in.
I just kept feeling, "Wow. This person has a lot of confidence."
And I feel like now you're gonna be in that place
where you want to really deliver who you are.
You already have so much going on.
I want to discover more about you.
Thank you.
Who do you pick as your coach? Not Blake.
[ Laughs ]
[ Audience shouting ]
Vanessa!
I pick...
♪♪♪
...Alicia.
[ Cheers and applause ]
