Well, I'm shameless

When it comes
to lovin' you

I'll do anything
you want me to

I'll do anything at all

And I'm standin'

In another
world to see

Oh, baby,
that's what's left of me

I don't have
very far to fall

You know now
I'm not a man

That's ever been

Insecure about the world
I've been livin' in

I don't break easy,
I have my pride

But if you need to be
satisfied

Well, I'm shameless

Well, honey,
I don't have a prayer

Every time
I see you standin' there

Well, I go down
upon my knees

And I'm changin'

Swore
I'd never compromise

Oh, but you
convinced me otherwise

I'll do anything
you please

You know it should be easy
for a man who's strong

To say he's sorry
or admit when he's wrong

I've never lost anything
I've ever missed

But I've never been
in love like this

God,
it's out of my hands

Well, I'm shameless

I don't have
the power now

And I don't need it
anyhow

So I got to let it go

Well, I'm shameless

As shameless as a man
can be

Can make
a total fool of me

I just wanted you
to know

Well, I'm shameless

I'm down on my knees

I'm shameless

Well, I just wanted you
to know

Well, I'm shameless

[ Cheers and applause ]

Daly: Give it up
for Jesse and Taylor!

Yeah!

Blake,
let's get your thoughts.

Great performance
by both of you,

and I think Taylor probably had
more work cut out for him.

But, man, way to
step up to the plate.

Jesse, it gave you
the opportunity

to have to really
raise the bar for yourself

because if he's gonna
step up to that level,

then you got to take
the next step, you know,

and that's what
that battle felt like,

and that's why
it was so good.

But I got to stick
with my country guy over here.

I'm pretty impressed
with how Taylor stepped up.

Thank you, Blake.
Alicia.

Alicia: Taylor, there were
moments when you stepped out

and I liked that
you got really strong with it,

and, Jesse, I think
that your voice

has such a unique style to it.

It creates a world all its own,

so I look forward to seeing
what Adam chooses.

Daly: Thank you, Coach.
Gwen Stefani.

Way to not pick anybody.
Good.

Slid that right on past.

Gwen: You guys are both
your own characters.

It's very clear who you are.

What I love about you
is your look is unforgettable.

Like, you look like
a perfect cowboy.

[ Laughter ]

Jesse, clearly you are
super gifted

and you can do anything
with your voice.

If you wanted to, you could
blow the whole roof off.

I loved how you had
the dynamics in your voice,

and then you were like,
"By the way"...

[ Imitates guitar ]
Like, you know?

"Oh, yeah. I can also
totally shred. Oh, whoops."

That's what I'm saying,
yeah.

I think I would
go with Jesse.

Something about your spirit
was just fun to watch.

Daly: Thank you, Gwen.

Adam, of course,
you have the final decision.

You were both
one-chair turns,

and -- and I take a certain
amount of pride in that

'cause I believe
that I see something in you

that no one else saw,
so I never want that to end.

Taylor, you really
impressed me today,

and I remember you trying to
compete a little bit with Jesse.

I was like,
"No, man, don't do that."

Yeah.
"Do your thing
the way you would."

And you did exactly that,
and you did an incredible job.

Jesse,
you are really gifted,

and music kind of
effortlessly flows out of you.

The people who do really well
on this show I believe

are the ones who really kind of
share their joy

for making music
with the world,

and that's exactly
what you both did,

and I'm super proud of you guys,
so thank you.

Thanks, man.
Thank you, thank you, sir.

[ Applause ]

That was nice, Adam.

Adam, who's the winner of
this battle?

Um...

[ Audience shouting ]

The winner...

The winner
of this battle...

...is Jesse.

Daly:
Jesse, congratulations.

You're gonna move on
to the knockouts.
