Adam: Yeah!

-Wow!
-Hey, okay.

I got to find out
a lot about you right now.

What's your name?

My name's Taylor Alexander.
I'm 25 years old,

and I'm originally from
Flowery Branch, Georgia,

but I've been living
in Nashville

for the past three years.

All right!

There you go.

First of all, welcome to my team.
Thank you.

That was the single craziest
thing I've ever heard.

And -- And I figured out
that it was a Cher song,

like, way before
I was supposed to. Way early.

And I pressed my button
'cause I actually thought,

"This dude's really good,
and he's doing Cher."

-I know.
-Like, who does that?

-Thank you.
-You are so weird and wonderful.

That means a lot, y'all.
Thank you.

-What -- What was that?
-Taylor, that was awesome.

I love flipping songs like that, too.
Thank you.

I love taking a song that people
are used to hearing in one way

and sing it a whole different
way, so that was really cool.

And I have to say,
none of us were as quick as Adam

to recognize what song
that you took.

I felt like I solved the puzzle,
like, on "Wheel of Fortune."

I was like --
I was like, "Ah, Cher!"

[ Laughter ]

Awesome, man.
Congratulations, Taylor.

That's really cool. I love that mixture.
Thank you very much.

[ Cheers and applause ]
Hey, Taylor.

People always look at me
when a country singer auditions,

and just to be
completely honest,

when I saw Adam hit his button

and you have an opportunity
to go there,

where there's a wide-open lane,
that's the best thing for you.

And I think I know the lane
you're in for country music.

The BR549-type thing,
so when it's time --

-More like HRTX490.
-If you -- If you need --

If you need the --

What is that?
I don't know what the hell
he's talking about.

-Well, he knows.
-I'm with you, man.

Yeah, and so, when it's time,
I'm here for both of y'all.

That's what I'm saying.
-Aww.

The only difference between --
Well, thank you, thank you.

-Aww.
-Aww, Blake.

Because he didn't know what
the hell we're talking about...
I want to just say --

...that's why
I'm letting him know.
I just want to say one --

It's not like WD40
or the B-52s.

It's like BR549.
-Okay, cool.

I just want to say,
good songs are good songs,

good singers
are good singers,

and there's nothing
you could ever do

to separate those things.

Like, you can't put
anything in a box.

You can't.
-True.

And I think that's badass
and deserves to be rewarded,

and you're on my team.

Thank you very much.
Thank y'all.
