-Oh, my gosh!
-What's your name?
-I'm LB Crew.
I'm 29 years old.
I live in
Little Rock, Arkansas.
-LB, I'm gonna say one thing.
-Yes, sir?
-And I'm actually not gonna
talk forever.
I'm not gonna talk over anybody.
I'm just gonna say my one thing,
and then I'm gonna move on.
-What?!
-It's true.
I think that one of my best
skills as a singer is falsetto,
and that's the one area that
wasn't as good as it could be.
-Mnh-mnh.
-They may have
a different opinion...
-I do.
-...but I think that it...
-That was some sexy...
-And you can express it
as long as you just wait...
-Yeah.
-...till I'm done talking.
-Ohh.
-Okay,
I'm gonna take my earrings off.
-Get him, Kelly!
-Don't do it. Don't do it!
-Get him!
[ Laughter ]
-Anyways, when someone has
the gift that you have
and someone is so incredible
on every level,
and there's
one little, tiny thing
that I have right skill set
to help you with,
that's why I turned.
I felt like I could
help you be even better
than you already are,
which is pretty hard.
I'm coming at you
real with it.
Just wanted to be
straight up about it.
[ Cheers and applause ]
I just want to point out,
for the record,
that I was the first person
to turn around. I was.
-Wait a minute.
-Look at the playback.
From the first few notes,
I could tell,
"He's got range, he's got depth,
he's got tone."
Like, I loved the intimacy
and the almost airiness
of your falsetto.
I thought it was very sexy.
I thought it was cool.
So it is just gonna be about
strategy for you at this point,
and I cannot wait for you
to pick me. Okay.
-All right.
[ Laughter ]
-LB, you have
a magnificent voice.
It's powerful.
-God bless you.
-You have a beautiful low tone.
Your ability is right up there
with the best people we've seen,
so congratulations.
-Thank you.
-This is a good day, huh?
-This is a great day.
-It's a great day.
-Do you still live
in Little Rock?
-I do.
-You ever heard of Toad Suck
National Park there?
Toad Suck.
-Yeah.
-Why would --
Why would you name it that?
-I know Toad Suck.
-Yeah, yeah.
-What do you mean?
What does this mean?
-Nothing he says really --
-"What does it all mean,
Basil?"
-Maybe he's performed
at Toad Suck Daze.
I don't know.
-I've been to Toad Suck Daze.
-Yeah, I've had days
that toad sucked.
[ Laughter ]
-Did you really just do that?
[ Laughter ]
Just when I think you're smart.
This has got to be
the worst pitch of your life.
#ToadSuck.
-We're putting it on the map.
-I'm with it.
-Your voice, man --
You have a charisma about you
that we're all interested in
right now.
-Yeah.
-And I feel like
your falsetto --
it's the intention of it.
It sounds
a little bit tortured,
and that's what I personally
love about your falsetto.
There's nobody else like you
on my team, ever.
Be the first, man.
Let's break the mold.
Let's do it.
-I've been doing this
a long time,
and I always want to be better.
As far as a coach's perspective,
I do believe that the falsetto
is a vital dynamic
throughout a vocal.
I do genuinely want you
to improve upon it.
We're good. I'm good.
I'm ready.
-[ Laughing ] Oh, my God.
So, who are you gonna pick
as your coach, LB?
-Come on, LB!
-Come on, LB.
-Let's break the mold, man.
Come on!
[ Audience shouting ]
Let's make history.
[ Shouting continues ]
-Come on, LB.
-Come on, come on, come on!
-For my coach,
I would like to pick...
