Letter to Elise _ Ryan Mitchell's _Don't You_ Duet Exudes Nostalgic Charm _ The Voice Battles _ NBC

Won't you, could you about me? I'll be alone, ten things you know it, baby. And tell me your troubles and doubts. Give me everything inside and out. Don't you forget about me. Don't, don't, don't, don't. Don't you forget about me. You're standing by me. Don't you forget about me. As you walk on by. Wow. My god. That was groovy like a drive-in movie. Oh man, the way y'all work together, y'all look like a group. Letter to Elyse, I love the harmonies, the way you come in with them high, oh lord. Thank you. I love the fact that you guys know how to work as a unit and then work outside of your unit with someone on the individual side. And I love how, Ryan, you can take your skills and jump into their situation and make it feel like it's yours. You are a superstar. The way you move and work the crowd, your look, your hair, you got that rock, that 80s rock hair and all that. Thank you. Reba, whoever you choose, you're going to be just fine because they are all superstars in my eyes. Thank you. That song choice is very unexpected and absolutely perfect. Letter to Elyse, Chris, that top harmony is nuts. You did great. In your blind audition. I actually wasn't sure how many of you were there and I'm still not sure. And Ryan, man, since your blind audition and getting called back by Carson, you've just taken it to another level, dude. If it was me, I would lean towards Ryan personally, but I really love what Letter to Elyse bring to the whole thing. I feel for you. I know it, I know it. Man, you reminded me of The Breakfast Club, even though I'm way too young to remember that movie. Well... Yeah, I know, I know. Letter to Elyse, I love how imaginative your interpretation was and how you came in on the choruses together and how complimentary it was with Ryan. Ryan, I think your story is just awesome. Thank you. And it seems like you just keep getting just better. You remind me a little, and not because of the way you look, but because he was one of my favorite front men, Michael Hutchinson from INXS. He could rock, but he could also kind of croon and it was just kind of the best of both worlds and he had such charisma and so do you. For me today, it would be you, Ryan. Thank you, Coaches! Thank you. All right, Reba, you got a tough one here. Give us some thoughts on the battle before you tell us the winner, please. Okay, well, gentlemen, the other day when Nick Jonas and I were watching you rehearse, we both said if you guys can loosen up, have more fun, that would be more convincing to the audience because then when you guys have fun, we have fun. Y'all did that because we were all four up here dancing along, clapping hands, having a great time. Snoop even jumped off his podium there. I don't like that I'm gonna have to choose because this is crazy good stuff here. Reba, that was an awesome battle. Are you ready? Yeah. Reba, who's the winner of this battle? The winner of this battle is Ryan. Ryan Mitchell moves on! The reason that the battle rounds really make people get better is because they're trying to impress the person they're singing with and vice versa. So the other person will make them rise to the occasion. So that's why I love the battle rounds so much. Reba. You have got so many people believing in you. I had to choose Ryan. I'm not taking it for granted. Ryan's a star. He's got a confidence. Congratulations. He's a quick study. He listens. He's easy to coach. And that's a coach's dream. Congratulations. Thank you. I'm so happy for you. It means so much to me. You're on your own now. I did my part back then. You did enough. I knew you had it in you. That was incredible. You're just getting better and better. Thank you. I'm glad it worked out. Thanks so much. Come on, let's keep going. Let's go, let's go. Team Carson.
