AceShowbiz - Following the previous episode, season 12 of "The Voice" continued with its night 4 of the Blind Auditions which aired on Monday, March 6. Coaches Gwen Stefani, Alicia Keys, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton were still showcasing their friendly rivalry in a fight to find the voice they were looking for. Blake even perfectly utilized his dimple charms to get one contestant join his team. That night 9 out of 11 contestants advanced to the Battle Rounds.
The first contestant taking up the stage was Micah Tryba who performed Chaka Khan's "I'm Every Woman". She admitted she was not used performing with bands because of her background of singing in an a cappella group. Blake hit his button first before Gwen followed him to turn around for her. In a battle to win Micah's heart, Blake used his dimple charms to lure her. It surprisingly worked as Micah chose to join Team Blake.
Troy Ramey, 32, sang Cat Stevens' "Wild World", one of his father's favorite songs. Troy, who grew up in a musical household, had some experiences under his belt of performing with bands. It was such a moving performance as Blake turned early, followed by his rival Adam. Troy got a four-chair return when Gwen and Alicia decided to hit their buttons for him. Blake tried to lure Troy to pick him as his coach by making a move on his mother. However, even after all the effort, Troy joined Team Gwen.
Mother of four Ericka Corban came to the show hoping to pursue her dreams in music career. She took the stage to sing "Wade in the Water" by Mary Mary in her rich and low voice. Unfortunately, her performance didn't turn any of the coaches' chairs.
The show went on with a brilliant performance by Kawan DeBose who sang "Let's Get It On" by Marvin Gaye. His incredible rendition of the song made Adam turned his chair and sported a malicious smirk. Blake joined him shortly after, followed by Gwen. Adam praised him as he compared Kawan's falsetto to that of Prince and Adam got another talented crooner on his team as Kawan chose him.
Taylor Alexander was up next. Taylor, who had tried several music genres including punk and classic country, chose a pop song for that night. He sang a country rendition of Cher's "Believe". Only Adam turned his chair for him, resulting in Taylor joining Team Adam by default.
Gaby Borromeo, who moved to New York at the age of 15 to pursue her music career, performed "Happy" by Leona Lewis. By the time she sang the chorus, Blake and Adam hit their buttons almost simultaneously. The fact that Gaby only got two chairs surprised Adam. Adam won over Blake as Gaby picked him as her coach.
Griffin Tucker, a multi-instrumentalist and former member of The Beatles cover band, performed next, singing "Heartbreak Hotel" by Elvis Presley. For a 14-year-old boy, he surprisingly got a mature voice. However, he went home heartbroken as no one turned for him.
Missy Robertson sang "Scars to Your Beautiful" by Alessia Cara. Not until the last second to her performance, Blake and Alicia turned their chairs. Alicia said, "Your voice is so beautiful." Just as expected, Missy joined Team Alicia. Performing next that night was young YouTuber Aaliyah Rose, singing Andra Day's "Rise Up". Gwen hit her button right away she started singing, finding the voice she was desperately seeking for. Aaliyah joined Team Gwen by default since the other coaches didn't turn their chairs, seemingly not seeing the potential which Gwen saw on Aaliyah.
Josh West, 17, wrapped up the blind auditions night 4. Performing "Ordinary World" by Duran Duran, he received the second four-chair turn. He and Adam bonded over their mutual love for 90s rock. The bond between them surely would get deeper as West went to join Team Adam.
