[ Cheers and applause ]

Whoo!

Adam: What's up?
Whoo!

I love that you were playing
the keys

until Alicia Keys
turned around.

[ Laughter ]

What's your name?
-My name is Jack Cassidy.

I'm 18 years old, and I'm from
Westlake Village, California.

There is such an incredible,
passionate commitment

to every single word
that you sing,

and I don't think
there's something

that's more important
than that.

There were moments
that weren't perfect,

but that's what life
is like,

and that's what singing
is like, too.

Like, there's always gonna be
imperfections.

That -- To me, that's what
makes somebody great.

What are your influences?
Like, what do you listen to?

I was raised on Elton John,
Billy Joel, the Eagles, Beatles.

Yes! My man.
[ Applause ]

If that's the case,
then come home, Jack.

[ Laughter ]

I can tell already
you have so many instincts

that are so pure
and honest and real and unique,

and it's gonna be awesome.
-Thank you

-Hey, Jack.
-How's it going, Blake?

I had a vision of you
and Alicia Keys, like -- Okay.

You know those things
where they play,

like, with two pianos
facing each other

in, like, a duet, like -- like
Elton John and Billy Joel do.

But if you had Alicia Keys as
your coach, you could do that.

I was just thinking.
[ Laughter ]

Like, that would be a huge -- that would be
a huge moment. I feel like there --

I feel like there are other combinations
of instruments that can also take place.

-A huge moment.
-Like -- Like guitars.

Anyway, congratulations.

I can't wait to hear what Alicia
has to say to you right now.

[ Laughter ]
It's gonna be good.

[ Applause ]
Thank you, Blake.

Thanks, Blake.
I appreciate that love.

This is my first time
seeing someone

actually choose to play
only the piano, just you,

which is obviously, you know,
totally my heart.

There is nothing like being able
to just play the piano

and sing what you feel.

But can you tell us
a little bit more

about how did you get into
singing, what's your story?

Well, I grew up in a musical
family, the Cassidy family.

My grandma's Shirley Jones
from "The Partridge Family."

-Wow.
-What?!

-Okay.
-Yeah.

Oh, my God.
[ Laughs ]

So, you've been singing since
you were, like, 2, 4, 1, born?

Since I came
in the world, yeah.

Right. Came out singing.
[ Laughs ]

And that particular song
was such a beautiful example

of what happens when you're able
to spread a message

and write a song
that no one can deny.

I totally felt it,

and I do hope that we're able
to work together.

Thank you so much.

So, who do you --

Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa.

[ Laughter ]

Here's what you get
with me.

You get someone
who really understands you

and where you're coming from
musically,

'cause I think we probably
grew up in a similar way

with the same kind of tunes playing
in our lives and in our heads.

So don't underestimate that.

I know what you want to do.

-That's good.
-I really do.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Jack, who do you pick
as your coach?

[ Dramatic music plays ]

Yeah, Jack!

[ Audience shouting ]

Adam, I love you,
but I pick Alicia.

[ Cheers and applause ]
All right!
