Yeah!
Wow. That guy's tall.
-6'8". -6'8"?
-Holy crap. -Yeah.
-Yeah, what's your name, man? -I'm Dennis Drummond.
I'm originally from, uh, Warren, Ohio,
but I've lived in Nashville for the past few years.
Whoo-haw! Yeah.
[ Laughs ] Okay.
Okay, do you know what band that song is by?
That's The Black Crowes. Damn it!
[ Laughter ]
Do you know what state Nashville is in?
[ Laughter ]
I think there's a little work to do
on just stability, like, in your voice.
That's kind of what I think got lost sometime.
But otherwise, you were super amazing.
-Thank you so much, Miley. -Yeah.
First of all, I like your speaking voice.
-Yeah. -Thank you.
I would love to have heard some of those textures more
in the song, although I love what you were already giving.
I think you, you know, have a good shot with these two guys,
so I'm gonna let them battle it out, and I'mma fall back.
All right. Thank you so much, Jennifer.
The song, "She Talks to Angels," is one of those songs --
By The Black Crowes. [ Laughter ]
From the album "Shake Your Money Maker."
Their big hit was a cover of Otis Redding's "Hard to Handle."
But they also had "Twice as Hard."
"Jealous Again." Yep.
-Your mama. -What'd you say about my mama?
Nothing. [ Laughter ]
You were singing it your way, and it was really cool.
So, I just felt connected to you right away
and so I turned around, and then I was mad
because this nitwit turned around,
but it's an old-school battle and we're gonna fight over you
a-and hopefully, you will realize,
I clearly am the one for you to -- to -- to work with.
He's gonna be, like, "What do you want to do?" and all this kind of crap.
Yeah, what do you want from this? Yeah, what do you want to do?
Well, I make a career in Nashville.
I play guitar for, uh, actually, Adam Wakefield.
I've heard of him. I've heard of Adam Wakefield.
Oh, yeah, but you didn't win with him, did you?
I got second.
In Nashville, I'm always kind of playing guitar
and singing harmonies for people,
so I-I'm using this as an opportunity
to kind of step out in front as an artist.
I'm clearly in the lane of more traditional country music,
but I know you're a Nashville guy.
It's an interesting community, and I love the fact
that there's different genres that are coming there and coming out.
I mean, Miley was born in Nashville.
She ends up becoming the world's biggest...
What am I?
Actually, I don't know what the hell you are.
She's beyond definition. Yeah, actually, I do--
She's a little bit of everything, but that's because,
you know, she's a Nashville girl.
That was the nicest thing he's ever said to me.
I -- Being a little bit of everything is what I strive for.
Anyway, man, I love the fact that you play guitar,
I love the fact that you're a Nashville guy.
You got a good, solid, deep, growly, rock-'n'-roll voice.
Let's find the right songs, man. Let's win this thing.
Come on, Dennis.
Let's do this! Thank you. [ Laughs ]
We're all kind of shapeshifters on the show,
and we all can kind of do it all.
I mean, I really believe that we're all dynamic enough
to work with anybody, but at the end of the day,
I'm a guitar player, I'm a drummer,
I'm a songwriter, I'm a musician.
Like, that's who I really am --
like, tried and true, always, through all of it.
So, you know, don't forget that when you're making your choice.
Thank you, Adam. Thank you.
You don't look like you're totally decided.
I'm taking everything that everyone's saying to me.
I mean, my mom's a humongous Blake Shelton fan.
All right! Come on, Mom.
[ Laughter ] I'm a huge fan of Maroon 5.
The grooviness of your music, just not the groovy,
like groovy, but groovy like, popular, you know, like --
Yeah, yeah, yeah. The existence of a groove.
So, I've always appreciated that.
You didn't play that song in the way he tuned it to open-E, did you?
No, I didn't. No, I didn't. I do that all the time.
It's really fun to, like, tune it to that.
It's so good, the original, yeah, of course.
Blake, you might be toast.
Dennis, it's time to pick a coach.
[ Laughs ]
Come on, Dennis!
[ Audience shouting ]
I appreciate y'all, you know, turning around
and -- and saying the nice things and, um,
but I'm gonna have to say -- I'm go with my gut with this,
and I'm gonna have to pick Blake.

♪ I ain't no fortunate one, no Whoo!
