- Mar 8, 2016
AceShowbiz - More singers auditioned on "The Voice" in the episode that aired Monday, March 7. First to take the stage in the third part of the Blind Auditions was preschool teacher Hannah Huston. She delivered a powerful performance of "Unaware", but it wasn't until the last second that Christina Aguilera and Pharrell Williams pushed their buttons. The coaches tried to make their case before Hannah chose to be on Team Pharrell.
Brian Nhira sang Pharrell's "Happy" during his audition. Pharrell and Blake Shelton turned for him. Pharrell tried to lure him by saying that Brian sang better than himself. Blake pointed out that he and Brian are both from Oklahoma, but Brian picked his original choice, Pharrell.
Next to perform was Aijia, who is a backup vocalist for Selena Gomez and is the wife of singer-songwriter Andy Grammer. She sang Christina's "Say Something" in hopes that the she could work with the star, but no one turned their chair for Aijia.
Brittany Kennell, on the other hand, managed to catch the attention of Blake and Pharrell with her rendition of "Strong Enough" by Sheryl Crow. She's from Canada but lives in Nashville. With her country roots, it's an obvious thing that she landed her choice on Blake.
Natalie Yacovazzi, who auditioned in season 9, returned and hoped for a better luck. She sang "Mr. Know It All" by Kelly Clarkson. Adam Levine hit the button for the first time that night for Natalie. Christina tried to turn at the last minute but it was too late. Natalie automatically joined Team Adam.
Malik Heard grew up in a sports family, but found out that his true passion is music. His cover of "Chains" by Nick Jonas amazed Pharrell and Christina who both turned around for him. He joined Team Christina.
Peyton Parker was another country girl auditioning that night, singing "Dreams" by Fleetwood Mac. Blake, Pharrell and Christina pushed their buttons for her. Despite Pharrell and Christina's plea not to make the obvious choice, Peyton went with Blake. Blake also scored Gina Castanzo and pop rocker Trey O'Dell that night.
Indie jazz singer Kristen Marie is an Oklahoma native. She sang "Mad World" and captivated Christina, followed by Blake who also turned around. Despite the Oklahoma connection with Blake, Kristen made the right choice by joining Team Xtina.
Evan Taylor Jones performed "Homegrown" by Zac Brown Band in honor of his mother. He's a soul-rock artist but wanted to show off his versatility with a country song. It didn't work though, as the coaches encouraged him to sing something more true to who he is as an artist.
Nate Butler sang "The Walk" by Mayer Hawthorne. Adam, Blake and Pharrell turned around at the last second. Nate eventually chose Adam as his coach.
Ryan Quinn closed out the night with his performance of "Can't Find My Way Home". Christina turned right away, followed by the other three coaches. It was the only four-chair turn that night and Ryan had a tough decision to make. He eventually went with Adam.
