Lauren Diaz talks working with Miley Cyrus after being stolen on 'The Voice' -- "We're both a little bit weird"

Lauren Diaz might have lost her The Voice battle to We McDonald, but she had two different coaches fighting over her once the performance was over.


Lauren and We were paired up by coach Alicia Keys to perform "Maybe" by Janis Joplin. Alicia was so proud of both of her artists but chose to advance We due to her unique package and powerful voice. However, Lauren also owned the stage, so both Miley Cyrus and Adam Levine attempted to steal her.

Miley told Lauren that she'd never want an artist so talented to feel defeated, while Adam argued he could help her unleash the soulful monster inside of her. In the end, Lauren switched to "Team Miley."

After her Battle, Lauren talked to Reality TV World about being stolen in the Season 11 competition.

Reality TV World: I'd like to learn more about what it was like for you to be stolen. What has it been like for you to go from Alicia's team to Miley's team?


Lauren Diaz: I definitely think that working with any of these coaches is a complete, you know, blessing. It doesn't matter if it's [Blake Shelton], Adam, Alicia or Miley. Definitely going from Alicia's team to Miley's, you know, they're both amazing women and they've shown so much love and support. So, you know, I wouldn't say it's really a rough transition.

I just think it's actually -- I feel that [stolen artists] actually get the best of both worlds, not just working with one coach but being able to transfer work over with another coach. So, I think that's, you know, something that I think I can take from that and say that's the most amazing part about it.

Reality TV World: Any major differences you've noticed between Alicia and Miley?

Lauren Diaz: You know, Alicia is so wise and she's very inspirational and I just feel like when she speaks, you know, kind of the whole room stops.

And with Miley, she is so full of wisdom as well. But I just felt like I know she has her own personality and I feel like me and her fit a lot because I am a little bit weird too. So, I felt like I kind of related to her in a lot of ways and it made me feel, like, it was home to me. So, she's awesome.


Also during the conference call, Lauren talked to reporters about her The Voice battle and why she chose to join "Team Miley" instead of Adam's team.

Did you think your chances of being stolen were high and what was going through your mind when two coaches wanted to steal you?

Lauren Diaz: I think me and We McDonald both went in there having the mindset of we both wanted to stay. So, our goal was to, you know, kill that battle, and we did! And I got a steal and, I mean, it was very surprising that Miley hit the button.

I think what was most surprising for me is that they both hit -- Miley and Adam. Your hope was that if you lose a battle, you want to get stolen and one person's going to hit their button. And then when two of them hit it, that was obviously awesome. So, I'm very thankful for that and, you know, I wasn't ready to go home. So I'm still here and couldn't be more thankful.

Why did you choose Miley?


Lauren Diaz: I think I chose Miley because I felt that she was -- I don't know. I can't explain it. She is a very down-to-earth person and I just saw how much she cared for her team, not that Alicia did not. Alicia's amazing, but when I saw that Miley hit that button, I just knew that was where I was supposed to be. I was meant to be with her.
