Happy 10-year anniversary,The Voice!
Can you believe it?
ButThe Voiceis not done yet.
So, let us begin our Blind Audition journey.
Each coach has 10 spots on their team and one block to use in this round.
Let’s start filling up teams, shall we?
It feels right for this show, doesn’t it?
She isn’t alone in her fight for Kenzie though he gets a four-chair turn.
Dana Monique / 41 / Houston, Tex.
Now she’s pursuing her dreams again.
She has some real power to her voice.
Nick turns almost immediately and once Dana shows off her great range, John Legend’s in too.
She’s inspired by singers like Aretha Franklin, Chaka Khan, and Tina Turner, she says.
So once John starts singing some Chaka to her, you’d think it would be game over.
Dana Monique decides to take a chance onTeam Nick.
And then one of “Nick’s Notebooks” (remember the “Nick’s Notes” schtick?
Didn’t you miss this show?
Cam Anthony / 19 / Philadelphia, Penn.
This definitely feels like a step down from that, but what can ya do?
Oh, friends, his voice is smooth and oozing with emotion.
He navigates his runs well and knows how to nicely build-up to the big moments.
But it turns out Nick’s block doesn’t help him win over the soulful singer.
That’s a hard offer to refuse, so Cam Anthony ends up onTeam Blake.
Christine has a cool rasp that sets her apart from other singers.
It doesn’t take too much convincing for her to join Team Legend.
It’s very catchy!
Madison Curbell / 18 / Westfield, Mass.
As it turns out, Blake was too.
They’re old performing pals who hadn’t seen each other in 20-plus years.
It’s very cool and also there’s no way Pete isn’t joiningTeam Blake.
They’re getting the band back together!
Devan Blake Jones / 35 / Denver, Colo.“Hard Place” by H.E.R.
According to his intro package, the man loves two things: plants and Nick Jonas.
It’s surprising because the guy has a nice head voice anddangthat high note at the end is impressive.
It seems like a good fit all around to have Devan joinTeam Nick.
Raine Stern / 22 / Madison, Wisc.
and heap on the praise.
Blake is “not speechless all that often,” but is when it comes to Raine.
John tells her that the “creative energy was just flowing” from her.
Raine’s headed toTeam Nick.
Mostly it comes down to song choice.
Ah, song choice, it’ll get you every time.
This time around, the guy really delivers.
There is so much passion packed into this performance, plus he makes some great vocal and phrasing choices.
And that bend at the end?
Yes, kindly and thank you.
He ends up getting both Kelly and John to turn around for him.
Kelly wants to fill her team with people whomoveher, and the two share a love for Damien Rice.
This man walks on stage and lays!
Both Blake and Nick turn around too how can one resist Victor’s range and emotion?
but it’s clear to everyone that Victor will be joining John Legend for hisVoicejourney.
Well, everyone except Blake Shelton, who apparently had no idea this was a John Legend song.
Kelly will never let Blake live this moment down.
Victor was born forTeam Legend.
