Preparation
Usher takes Josh to Henson Studio, where Lionel Richie, Cyndi Lauper, and other legends recorded “We Are the World.” Usher is currently in the process of recording his album, and he wanted to show Josh the process by bringing him to the studio. Josh will be singing “I Can’t Make You Love Me,” as we continue circling the drain of tiresome adult contemporary song choices. Usher talks about what a soulful singer Josh is, and says he really wants this for him. Not that you’d ever know from the songs he gives him. I mean, I’m sure the vocal will be great and all, but in a singing competition like this, “I Can’t Make You Love Me” is just so groan-inducingly overdone. Let’s see how it turns out.

Coach Comments
| Adam Levine: Adam again notes how stupid he is for letting Josh go, but notes how proud he is of Josh, and how much he roots for him. | |
| Shakira: Shakira feels Josh has good intuition, taking the song and delivering it in his own style. | |
| Usher: Usher applauds Josh’s artistry and again reiterates just how badly he wants this for him. | |
| Blake Shelton: Blake feels we’ll be seeing that version of the song on iTunes in no time (and honestly, I don’t exactly disagree with him. It was a damn good version). |
