    And, Father, Father, Father
  • 0:38 - 0:43
    We don't need to escalate
  • 0:43 - 0:44
    Don't you know
    we've got to find a way
  • 0:44 - 0:47
    There it is! Adam!
    Whoo!
  • 0:47 - 0:52
    To bring some lovin'
    here today
  • 0:52 - 0:54
    Oh, whoa
  • 0:54 - 0:58
    Picket lines
    and picket signs
  • 0:58 - 1:03
    Don't you punish me
    with your brutality
  • 1:03 - 1:06
    Come on, come on,
    talk to me
  • 1:06 - 1:08
    So you can see
  • 1:08 - 1:11
    Hey, hey, what's going on
  • 1:11 - 1:13
    What's going on
  • 1:13 - 1:15
    Darlin', what's going on
  • 1:15 - 1:17
    I'll tell you
    what's going on
  • 1:17 - 1:18
    Oh
  • 1:18 - 1:24
    Ooooooh
  • 1:24 - 1:27
    Oh, ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya
  • 1:27 - 1:36
    Hey, what's going on
  • 1:36 - 1:40
    [ Cheers and applause ]
  • 1:40 - 1:42
    What?
  • 1:42 - 1:44
    Whoo!
  • 1:44 - 1:45
    -Yeah!
    -Yay!
  • 1:49 - 1:51
    Whoo!
  • 1:51 - 1:52
    Wow!
  • 1:52 - 1:54
    What the hell was that?
    Whoo!
  • 1:54 - 1:55
    That was an illegal.
    Flag on the play.
  • 1:55 - 1:58
    That is foul.
    You're out of bounds.
  • 1:58 - 2:00
    Going up there
    like a cabana boy.
  • 2:00 - 2:02
    [ Laughter ]
    What are you doing?
  • 2:02 - 2:04
    You serving him a drink
    or what?
    You have no idea
    how good that was.
  • 2:04 - 2:06
    [ Laughs ]
    What's your name?
  • 2:06 - 2:09
    My name is Gary Edwards,
    I'm 26 years old,
  • 2:09 - 2:11
    and I currently live
    in Dallas, Texas.
  • 2:11 - 2:13
    That's my neck of the woods
    right there. Yes.
  • 2:13 - 2:15
    I, first, would like
    to thank you
  • 2:15 - 2:18
    for singing a song that I needed
    to hear right now.
  • 2:18 - 2:19
    And I think
    the rest of the world does, too.
  • 2:19 - 2:20
    Yeah.
  • 2:20 - 2:22
    It was like you were singing us
    to sleep.
  • 2:22 - 2:24
    So, you're saying it was boring
    and it makes you sleepy?
  • 2:24 - 2:25
    No. You don't get it.
  • 2:25 - 2:27
    That's why you're not gonna be
    his coach.
  • 2:27 - 2:28
    [ Laughter ]
  • 2:28 - 2:29
    You must sing professionally,
    right?
  • 2:29 - 2:32
    I sing with a Top 40 band
    in Texas.
  • 2:32 - 2:33
    I started singing, though,
    with my grandmother,
  • 2:33 - 2:35
    who's my everything, man.
  • 2:35 - 2:38
    She -- I would not be here
    without her.
  • 2:38 - 2:40
    [ Cheers and applause ]
  • 2:40 - 2:42
    The greatest advice
    she ever told me was,
  • 2:42 - 2:46
    "Find the song,
    create the story."
  • 2:46 - 2:47
    Yes.
  • 2:47 - 2:48
    Where is she?
    Let's bring her out here.
  • 2:48 - 2:50
    Mama B.
  • 2:50 - 2:52
    [ Cheers and applause ]
  • 2:52 - 2:55
    -Hello.
    -Whoo!
  • 2:55 - 2:57
    Hi, Grandma.
    How you doing?
  • 2:57 - 2:58
    Hi.
  • 2:58 - 3:00
    This is crazy,
    what he does.
  • 3:00 - 3:02
    Yes.
    And that's
    the smartest advice.
  • 3:02 - 3:04
    Thank you.
    Now, hopefully,
  • 3:04 - 3:06
    you'll advise him
    to do another smart thing,
  • 3:06 - 3:07
    which is choose me
    as his coach.
  • 3:07 - 3:09
    [ Laughter ]
  • 3:09 - 3:11
    Well, hopefully, if you do
    choose Adam as your coach,
  • 3:11 - 3:13
    you'll advise him to put on
    a different shirt.
  • 3:13 - 3:15
    [ Laughter ]
  • 3:15 - 3:17
    That just isn't nice.
    You guys both live
    in Dallas?
  • 3:17 - 3:20
    -Yes.
    -Okay. I live on Lake Texoma,
  • 3:20 - 3:22
    just north of Dallas.
  • 3:22 - 3:24
    Do you just come from the states
    that the people are from?
  • 3:24 - 3:27
    What?
    I feel like you're from like
    all 50 states, somehow.
  • 3:27 - 3:29
    I'm all-American, Adam.
    I'm all--
  • 3:29 - 3:30
    [ Cheers and applause ]
  • 3:30 - 3:34
    I'm all-American.
    Whoa.
  • 3:34 - 3:37
    Man, your voice, it is soft,
    and it does float.
  • 3:37 - 3:39
    And then there's moments
    where it absolutely
  • 3:39 - 3:42
    punches you
    in the face.
  • 3:42 - 3:45
    And I would love to have the
    opportunity to work with you,
  • 3:45 - 3:48
    because we got to keep
    our Texoma crowd together.
  • 3:48 - 3:49
    There you go.
  • 3:49 - 3:51
    Most def.
  • 3:51 - 3:53
    -I was floored, man, seriously.
    -Yeah.
  • 3:53 - 3:58
    Your voice is so superb,
    the way you made it your own.
  • 3:58 - 4:02
    I'm very, very happy
    for either Adam or Blake.
  • 4:02 - 4:04
    Thank you. Thank you.
    You have a beautiful voice.
  • 4:04 - 4:06
    That's hands-down.
    I mean, that --
  • 4:06 - 4:08
    I didn't not turn
    because of that, obviously.
  • 4:08 - 4:10
    I was dumb.
    I was sitting there,
  • 4:10 - 4:12
    waiting for a next,
    and I should've turned around,
  • 4:12 - 4:15
    but I didn't,
    so now I can't have you.
  • 4:15 - 4:18
    I know.
    So maybe I'll steal you.
    That's what my plan is.
  • 4:18 - 4:20
    Oh, I don't believe
    that Gary will be available.
  • 4:20 - 4:22
    [ Laughter ]
  • 4:22 - 4:25
    There is just something
    intrinsically about you
  • 4:25 - 4:26
    and what you do
  • 4:26 - 4:29
    that really, really does
    transcend everything.
  • 4:29 - 4:31
    -Yeah.
    -You get that glimpse
  • 4:31 - 4:33
    that maybe everything's
    gonna be all right
    when you're singing.
  • 4:33 - 4:35
    I think this is home for
    you, and I think that we can
    go all the way with this.
  • 4:35 - 4:37
    I really do.
    Thank you. Thank you.
  • 4:37 - 4:39
    [ Applause ]
  • 4:39 - 4:40
    Gary, who do you pick
    as your coach?
  • 4:40 - 4:42
    [ Audience shouting ]
  • 4:42 - 4:43
    Come on, Gary!
  • 4:48 - 4:50
    I pick...
  • 4:55 - 4:56
    I pick Adam.
