I left Oklahoma,
drivin' in a Pontiac

Just about to lose my mind

I was goin' to Arizona,
maybe on to California

Where the people
all live so fine

Livin' on Tulsa time

Livin' on Tulsa time

Well, you'll know
I been through it

When I set my watch
back to it

Livin' on Tulsa time

Well, there I was
in Hollywood

Wishin' I was doin' good

Talkin' on
the telephone line

They don't need me
in the movies

And nobody sings my songs

I'm gonna take 'em back
to Tulsa time

Come on.

Oh, whoa
Look. Adam turned, too.

Livin' on Tulsa time

Oh, whoa

Livin' on Tulsa time

I'm gonna set my watch
back to it

You know I been through it

Livin' on Tulsa time

[ Cheers and applause ]

That's country!

Adam, that's country.

Adam:
W-What's your name, man?

My name's Bransen Ireland.

Can you tell us
a little bit about yourself?

Currently, I am a genius
at the Apple Store...

-Yeah.
-...in Franklin, Tennessee.

-All right.
-Cool. Okay.

If you're a genius, then
you're -- you have a big brain.

My wife would disagree.

[ Laughter ]

You're singing a song
that clearly states

that you will not
be on my team,

but if by some wild stretch
of the imagination,

you had this awesome
kind of larger-scheme plan...

[ Scoffs ] God.
...where you wanted to, like,
shock the world

and become instantly the most
popular person on "The Voice,"

basically
based on your decision...

-[ Laughs ]
-...then you'd go with me.

That was good.
That was good.

What Adam is trying to say

is that he was
the first person

that recognized the brilliance
and power in your voice,

before Blake, and so...
-What are you doing?

-...that is why --
-What are you doing right now?

That is why --
I'm just explaining

what he's really trying to --
-No, he didn't say anything

even near
what you're saying right now.

-This is what he feels.
-Well, I did.

You're saying, "This is what
Adam tried to say."

And he didn't say
jack crap.

The last thing I'll say
that he really wanted to say...
Oh, I'm sure it's not.

[ Laughter ]

...is that maybe you could
make him really happy today.

You're a genius
from the Genius Bar,

so don't be a PC about this,
all right?

Just like...

[ Cheers and applause ]

-That was good.
-Do what you feel,

not what you think
you're supposed to do.

-Yes. Yes.
-In life.

That's how
you go to jail.

I can't go back.

[ Laughter ]

I just want you to know,
I know him well enough,

and I do know
those artists,

and he does work with them
after this show.

He is a great guy
in that sense.

I will say, for Adam,

you are not gonna have
much competition,

if any, on his team.

Can I say something?

You probably won't
have much competition

on Adam's team when it comes
to country artists.

If you step in
this ring over here,

it's gonna be hard,
Bransen.

It's gonna work your butt off,
and hopefully,

it's gonna make you a better
singer at the end of the day.

[ Applause ]
Bransen, no.

You'll have an advantage
on my team,

because I have
that much more to prove

not just to Blake,
but to you

and to everybody
in that community.

I-I am not
taking this lightly.

I'm gonna break in here.
Who do you pick as your coach?

[ Audience shouting ]

Come on, Bransen!

I'm completely humbled
that, uh --

that both of you guys
turned around.

I've got two little boys
in the back

who told me that if a chair
turned and it was his,

I'd go with the Okie.
I pick Blake.

[ Cheers and applause ]
All right! Yes!
