Mother, Mother

There's far too many of you
crying

Brother, brother, brother,
brother

There's far too many of you
dying

Don't you know
we've got to find a way

To bring some lovin'
here today

Oh, whoa

And, Father, Father, Father

We don't need to escalate

Don't you know
we've got to find a way

There it is! Adam!
Whoo!

To bring some lovin'
here today

Oh, whoa

Picket lines
and picket signs

Don't you punish me
with your brutality

Come on, come on,
talk to me

So you can see

Hey, hey, what's going on

What's going on

Darlin', what's going on

I'll tell you
what's going on

Oh

Ooooooh

Oh, ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya

Hey, what's going on

[ Cheers and applause ]

What?

Whoo!

-Yeah!
-Yay!

Whoo!

Wow!

What the hell was that?
Whoo!

That was an illegal.
Flag on the play.

That is foul.
You're out of bounds.

Going up there
like a cabana boy.

[ Laughter ]
What are you doing?

You serving him a drink
or what?
You have no idea
how good that was.

[ Laughs ]
What's your name?

My name is Gary Edwards,
I'm 26 years old,

and I currently live
in Dallas, Texas.

That's my neck of the woods
right there. Yes.

I, first, would like
to thank you

for singing a song that I needed
to hear right now.

And I think
the rest of the world does, too.

Yeah.

It was like you were singing us
to sleep.

So, you're saying it was boring
and it makes you sleepy?

No. You don't get it.

That's why you're not gonna be
his coach.

[ Laughter ]

You must sing professionally,
right?

I sing with a Top 40 band
in Texas.

I started singing, though,
with my grandmother,

who's my everything, man.

She -- I would not be here
without her.

[ Cheers and applause ]

The greatest advice
she ever told me was,

"Find the song,
create the story."

Yes.

Where is she?
Let's bring her out here.

Mama B.

[ Cheers and applause ]

-Hello.
-Whoo!

Hi, Grandma.
How you doing?

Hi.

This is crazy,
what he does.

Yes.
And that's
the smartest advice.

Thank you.
Now, hopefully,

you'll advise him
to do another smart thing,

which is choose me
as his coach.

[ Laughter ]

Well, hopefully, if you do
choose Adam as your coach,

you'll advise him to put on
a different shirt.

[ Laughter ]

That just isn't nice.
You guys both live
in Dallas?

-Yes.
-Okay. I live on Lake Texoma,

just north of Dallas.

Do you just come from the states
that the people are from?

What?
I feel like you're from like
all 50 states, somehow.

I'm all-American, Adam.
I'm all--

[ Cheers and applause ]

I'm all-American.
Whoa.

Man, your voice, it is soft,
and it does float.

And then there's moments
where it absolutely

punches you
in the face.

And I would love to have the
opportunity to work with you,

because we got to keep
our Texoma crowd together.

There you go.

Most def.

-I was floored, man, seriously.
-Yeah.

Your voice is so superb,
the way you made it your own.

I'm very, very happy
for either Adam or Blake.

Thank you. Thank you.
You have a beautiful voice.

That's hands-down.
I mean, that --

I didn't not turn
because of that, obviously.

I was dumb.
I was sitting there,

waiting for a next,
and I should've turned around,

but I didn't,
so now I can't have you.

I know.
So maybe I'll steal you.
That's what my plan is.

Oh, I don't believe
that Gary will be available.

[ Laughter ]

There is just something
intrinsically about you

and what you do

that really, really does
transcend everything.

-Yeah.
-You get that glimpse

that maybe everything's
gonna be all right
when you're singing.

I think this is home for
you, and I think that we can
go all the way with this.

I really do.
Thank you. Thank you.

[ Applause ]

Gary, who do you pick
as your coach?

[ Audience shouting ]

Come on, Gary!

I pick...

I pick Adam.
