AceShowbiz - "The Voice" wrapped up its Blind Auditions on Tuesday, March 14 episode. During the seventh and final night of the Blind Auditions, Alicia Keys, Blake Shelton, Adam Levine and Gwen Stefani rounded out their teams which consisted of 12 contestants each. Alicia wrapped that night's show up with two more new recruits joining her team, while the other coaches got one apiece for their teams.
The first contestant to perform that night was Vanessa Ferguson. The 31-year-old singer from Greensboro sang "Don't Let Me Down" by The Chainsmokers (ft. Daya). Alicia, Gwen and Blake turned their chairs for her. Alicia, who still had 10 contestants in her team while others had collected 11, determined to lure Vanessa to join her team. Much to her liking, Vanessa picked Alicia.
Next up was Dawson Coyle, 17, from Williamstown, who took the stage to perform "Happiness" by Needtobreathe. Dawson sang with his nasally voice. Blake was interested to take the teen singer to complete his team. Blake said what he loved about Dawson's voice was the "absolute passion" that he put on the performance. As no one turned their chairs except Blake, Dawson joined Team Blake as the last member.
Jozy Bernadette, 25, from Grand Forks was the next contestant to perform. Singing Guess Who's "American Woman", the former NBA player successfully delivered an epic rock performance that night. When Jozy was about to end her song, Gwen was convinced to put her in her team. Jozy went to Team Gwen by default as the other coaches didn't hit their buttons.
Stephen Bores took the stage to sing Bob Marley's "Three Little Birds". Unfortunately, his performance was not enough to make the last golden ticket-holders, Adam and Alicia, to turn their chairs. Adam blamed the song choice and encouraged him to come back next time.
Sheena Brook from Fort Myers Beach came to the show performing "Baby Girl" by Sugarland. The 33-year-old country singer might be suitable for Blake. However, Adam showed interest in taking her in his team by hitting his button when no one did. Just like that, Adam rounded out his team which is filled by singers from diverse genres.
As the other three coaches had completed their teams, Chris Blue could only hope for Alicia to turn her chair for him. The 26-year-old singer from Knoxville took the stage to sing "The Tracks of My Tears" by Smokey Robinson & the Miracles. Chris threw in a scale run on the low octaves and broaches falsetto work in the middle. Alicia eventually hit her button and was dancing in an obvious satisfaction with her choice to add Chris to her team. Chris was the "male voice" with "a little bluesy and soulful" whom Alicia was looking for.
As the Blind Auditions have come to an end, the real competition will begin. John Legend, DJ Khaled, Luke Bryan and Celine Dion will join the show as the mentors for the upcoming Battle Round.
"The Voice" airs on Mondays and Tuesdays at 8 P.M. on NBC.
