“The Voice” Recap: The Blind Auditions Wrap Up

But Gwen was not ashamed to use her friendship with the star to win over Summer Schappell, 21, from fellow coach Pharrell, telling her: ‘I will say that I’m pretty tight with Blake’. The strategies of Levine, Stefani, Shelton and Williams in choosing the members of their team were also featured. She added, “I’ve been such a huge, huge fan of Gwen for so long”.

The teenager was so good that even though Shelton, Stefani and Levine could not press their buttons to turn around, they faced her anyway. Host Carson Daly recapped the highlights of the previous “Blind Auditions” episode and gave the audience a glimpse of the stories behind the artists.

Shelby Brown is a 16-year-old from a south Alabama town near the coast called Elberta. The only judge not to turn his chair was Levine, 36, who stared off into space with a reflective nod as she delivered the tune.

Team Adam: Andi and Alex, Cassandra Robertson, Amanda Ayala, Dustin Monk, James Dupré, Chance Peña, Keith Semple, Manny Coba, Jordan Smith, Shelby Brown, Viktor Király and Regina Love.

Picking the right song for the Blind Auditions is key because an odd choice that doesn’t fit their voice all that well just might result in no coaches turning around. “But when I saw that Pharrell had turned around, it felt so wonderful because he was my first choice”. She sang “Stars” by Grace Potter and the Nocturnals and incorporated a few of her country style into it. The second she hit the powerful note in the chorus, all of the coaches turned simultaneously.

But she predicted that she would go with Pharrell, complaining: ‘I don’t want you to get seduced by the fact that Pharrell is so cute – its distracting’. The “alternative rock guy” completes Team Blake.

Vachal sings “Dream A Little Dream Of Me” for her audition. Her family was there to cheer her on, including her father who suffers from Multiple Sclerosis. He seems to have an emotional dynamic, with quiet reflection and a powerful gusto, that appeals to the coaches and viewers of The Voice, so he got a four-chair turn. “One spot, and I couldn’t be more sure this spot on my team was made for you”.

Hoping to jump-start her career, Summer auditions with Deana Carter’s “Strawberry Wine”. She did not succeed, and Mitchell chose Team Blake, finalizing Shelton’s team for the season.

Blake also lost out on another stunning country singer – but this time because he could not make a bid as he had already filled his team.

It was the final night of the season-nine blind auditions on The Voice Monday night.

Blaine Mitchell landed on Team Blake after covering Train’s “Drops of Jupiter”. “I was waiting for great”.

All four teams now have 12 contestants on their team before the battle rounds begin next week.
