The Voice 2018 Blind Audition - WILKES: "One Headlight"

  • 0:06 - 0:10
    So long ago,
    I don't remember when
  • 0:10 - 0:13
    That's when they say
    I lost my only friend
  • 0:13 - 0:14
    Oh!
  • 0:14 - 0:18
    Well, they say she died easy
    of a broken-heart disease
  • 0:18 - 0:22
    As I listened through
    the cemetery trees
  • 0:22 - 0:27
    But I seen the sun comin' up
    at the funeral at dawn
  • 0:27 - 0:31
    The long broken arm
    of human law
  • 0:31 - 0:34
    And it always seemed
    such a waste
  • 0:34 - 0:36
    She always had a pretty face
  • 0:36 - 0:40
    I wondered why she hung
    around this place
  • 0:45 - 0:50
    Hey, hey, hey
  • 0:50 - 0:52
    Come on, try a little
  • 0:52 - 0:54
    'Cause nothing is forever
  • 0:54 - 0:58
    There's got to be something
    better than in the middle
  • 0:58 - 1:01
    But me and Cinderella
  • 1:01 - 1:03
    We put it all together
  • 1:03 - 1:05
    We can drive it home
  • 1:05 - 1:08
    With one headlight
  • 1:08 - 1:09
    Try
  • 1:09 - 1:12
    'Cause nothing is forever
  • 1:12 - 1:16
    There's got to be
    something better
  • 1:16 - 1:18
    Me and Cinderella
  • 1:18 - 1:20
    We put it all together
  • 1:20 - 1:25
    We can drive it home
  • 1:25 - 1:31
    With one headlight
  • 1:31 - 1:34
    We can drive it home
  • 1:34 - 1:35
    Both of them!
  • 1:35 - 1:40
    With one headlight
  • 1:40 - 1:42
    [ Cheers and applause ]
  • 1:43 - 1:45
    Adam: Yeah!
  • 1:45 - 1:47
    Whoo!
  • 1:47 - 1:49
    -What's your name, man?
    -My name's Wilkes.
  • 1:49 - 1:52
    You held out that
    One headlight --
  • 1:52 - 1:54
    That was perfect.
  • 1:54 - 1:56
    I think that you are a singular
    singer i-in this competition,
  • 1:56 - 1:59
    carrying the torch for
    a-a very long-lost thing,
  • 1:59 - 2:00
    which is
    rock-'n'-roll music.
  • 2:00 - 2:02
    And I really think
    I'm the one for you.
  • 2:02 - 2:05
    He's gonna lean heavy on
    all his woodsiness and stuff.
  • 2:05 - 2:08
    Woodsy?
    [ Laughter ]
  • 2:08 - 2:10
    I don't hear just
    rock 'n' roll in you.
  • 2:10 - 2:12
    I heard a little bit of, like,
    Southern in there, too.
  • 2:12 - 2:14
    Do you like country music,
    as well?
  • 2:14 - 2:17
    I actually write country music
    for a living.
  • 2:17 - 2:18
    Rock 'n' roll, country --
  • 2:18 - 2:20
    T-There's always a connection
    between the two.
    Yeah.
  • 2:20 - 2:22
    Like, you know, you can't --
    No, I'm serious.
    I do love, though,
  • 2:22 - 2:23
    like, your vibe.
    That wasn't a joke!
  • 2:23 - 2:25
    Your vibe is so, like,
    Matthew McConaughey.
  • 2:25 - 2:28
    He's like, [ As Matthew
    McConaughey ] "It'd be
    a lot cooler if you did."
  • 2:28 - 2:30
    -I love it. I love it.
    -Thank you.
  • 2:30 - 2:32
    -It's awesome.
    -Your voice is so sneaky.
  • 2:32 - 2:33
    The longer
    the song went on,
  • 2:33 - 2:36
    the more you kept
    turning the dial,
  • 2:36 - 2:38
    getting it closer
    and closer to 10.
  • 2:38 - 2:40
    And that was the difference
    maker, I think.
  • 2:40 - 2:41
    There's a wide-open lane
    for somebody
  • 2:41 - 2:43
    that sounds like you
    on my team.
  • 2:43 - 2:45
    I'm a fan.
    That's true.
  • 2:45 - 2:47
    -I appreciate it.
    -Yes, sir.
  • 2:48 - 2:50
    I loved your voice,
    as well.
  • 2:50 - 2:51
    And those end notes --
    They were super sick.
  • 2:51 - 2:53
    So that was exciting.
    -Thanks.
  • 2:53 - 2:56
    Who do you pick
    as your coach?
  • 2:56 - 2:58
    Well...
  • 2:58 - 2:59
    Wilkes!
  • 2:59 - 3:00
    Come on, Wilkes!
  • 3:00 - 3:02
    [ Audience shouting ]
  • 3:09 - 3:11
    -I'm sorry, Adam.
    -No!
  • 3:11 - 3:12
    I'm gonna pick Blake.
  • 3:12 - 3:14
    Yes!
