-With "Fancy," here is Ashley Levin.
♪♪♪♪
-♪♪ I remember it all very well looking back ♪♪
♪♪ It was the summer I turned 18 ♪♪
♪♪ We lived in a one-room, rundown shack ♪♪
♪♪ On the outskirts of New Orleans ♪♪
♪♪ We didn't have money for food or rent ♪♪
♪♪ To say the least, we were hard pressed ♪♪
♪♪ Mama spent every last penny we had ♪♪
♪♪ To buy me a dancing dress ♪♪
♪♪ She handed me a heart-shaped locket that said ♪♪
♪♪ "To thine own self be true" ♪♪
♪♪ And I shivered as I watched a roach crawl across ♪♪
♪♪ The toe of my high heeled shoe ♪♪
♪♪ It sounded like somebody else that was talking ♪♪
♪♪ Asking "Mama, what do I do?" ♪♪
♪♪ She said, "Just be nice to the gentlemen, Fancy" ♪♪
♪♪ They'll be nice to you ♪♪
♪♪ She said, "Here's your one chance, Fancy, ♪♪
♪♪ Don't let me down" ♪♪
♪♪ She said, "Here's your one chance, Fancy ♪♪
♪♪ Don't let me down ♪♪
♪♪ Lord, forgive me for what I do ♪♪
♪♪ If you want out, then it's up to you ♪♪
♪♪ Now don't let me down now, girl ♪♪
♪♪ Your mama's gonna move you uptown" ♪♪
♪♪ It wasn't long after a benevolent man ♪♪
♪♪ Took me in off the streets ♪♪
♪♪ And one week later, I was pouring his tea ♪♪
♪♪ In a five-room hotel suite ♪♪
♪♪ Oh, I charmed a king, a congressman ♪♪
♪♪ An occasional aristocrat ♪♪
♪♪ And now I got me a Georgia mansion ♪♪
♪♪ And an elegant New York townhouse flat ♪♪
♪♪ And I ain't done bad, no ♪♪
♪♪ "Here's your one chance, Fancy, don't let me down ♪♪
♪♪ Here's your one chance, Fancy, don't let me down ♪♪
♪♪ Lord, forgive me for what I do ♪♪
♪♪ If you want out, well, it's up to you ♪♪
♪♪ Don't let me down, girl ♪♪
♪♪ Your mama's gonna move you uptown ♪♪
♪♪ No, don't let me down, your mama's gonna move up uptown" ♪♪
♪♪ Y-Y-Y-Yeah ♪♪

-Whoo-whoo-whoo!
-Now singing "Tears Dry On Their Own,"
here is Lilli Passero.
[ Cheers and applause ]
♪♪♪♪
-♪♪ All I can ever be to you is a darkness that we knew ♪♪
♪♪ And this regret I've got accustomed to ♪♪
♪♪ Once it was so right, when we were at our height ♪♪
♪♪ Waiting for you in the hotel at night ♪♪
♪♪ I knew I hadn't met my match ♪♪
♪♪ But every moment we could snatch ♪♪
♪♪ I don't know why I got attached ♪♪
♪♪ It's my responsibility ♪♪
♪♪ You don't owe nothing to me ♪♪
♪♪ But to walk away, I have no capacity ♪♪
♪♪ He walks away ♪♪
♪♪ The sun goes down ♪♪
♪♪ He takes the day, but I am grown ♪♪
♪♪ And in your way, in my blue shade ♪♪
♪♪ My tears dry on their own ♪♪
♪♪ So we are history ♪♪
♪♪ Your shadow covers me ♪♪
♪♪ The sky above ablaze ♪♪
♪♪ He walks away ♪♪
♪♪ The sun goes down ♪♪
♪♪ He takes the day, but I'm grown ♪♪
♪♪ And in your way, in my blue shade ♪♪
♪♪ My tears dry on their own ♪♪
♪♪ Wish I could say no regrets ♪♪
♪♪ No emotional debt ♪♪
♪♪ 'Cause as we kiss goodbye, the sun sets ♪♪
♪♪ So we are history ♪♪
♪♪ The shadow covers me ♪♪
♪♪ The sky above a blaze that only lovers see ♪♪
♪♪ He walks away ♪♪
♪♪ The sun goes down ♪♪
♪♪ He takes the day, but I am grown ♪♪
♪♪ And in your way, my deep shade ♪♪
♪♪ My tears dry on their own ♪♪
♪♪ My tears dry ♪♪
♪♪ On their ♪♪ ♪♪ O-o-o-o-o-o-w-wn ♪♪

-Give it up for Ashley and Lilli, everybody!
-Whoo! -Great job.
Gwen Stefani, what'd you think?
-Wow. Ashley, your voice is so familiar.
-Thank you. -It's so strong and confident.
It's so seasoned, and it's -- it's beautiful.
And, Lilli, you took that mood of the song --
It's so theatrical.
I love that song.
And you really played the role, and I thought that was cute.
Your voice is really strong.
I honestly swear to you, Alicia,
this is a really, really challenging one.
-Yeah! -I'm sorry. I don't --
I'm just being honest. I don't know what to say.
-I know. -If I and to choose,
I would probably say Ashley.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Thank you.
-I think the difference between these two is, like,
Ashley in the progression and the growth that I think
even I have seen in a short period of time
has been incredible.
Lilli, when I saw you sing last time,
I thought to myself, "This girl can win."
I would go with you, Lilli,
'cause there's something about how you carry yourself
that just screams potential winner of "The Voice."
[ Cheers and applause ] -All right, thank you, Adam.
Blake?
-The thing about Ashley that's interesting is that rawness,
that loose cannon that she is when she preforms.
And then Lilli just has this calm, cool, collected --
She's just doing what she knows she was born to do
is what it seems like to me.
If I was choosing, I would be going with Lilli, also.
-Thank you, Blake. Alicia, of course, the final say is yours.
-I quit!
[ Laughter ]
This is really, really hard.
I've just gotten to know Ashley.
And, Lilli, from the second that I heard you in the blinds,
you know, you have a thing
that I really understand really deeply.
Ashley, this song was so complex.
There are so many words. Every word counts.
We spoke about that a lot, and it's hard to do
that cold, boom-bam-boom,
sing this super-heavy, deep, complex song about human beings,
and you did it.
And then, Lilli, I know what we can do,
and you have a feeling where, you know,
you're ready to be a performer.
I called you -- that you simmer.
That's what happens with you.
It kind of starts to come out in this way.
It's like a little snake charmery, and it's cool.
-Tough decision, Alicia.
Who's the winner of this knockout?
-Hmm!
[ Audience shouting ]
All right. All right!
I have to choose --
And I knew today was gonna be a hard day for me.
♪♪♪♪
