AceShowbiz - The Blind Auditions ended on "The Voice" Monday night, March 14. The episode began with a performance of Stevie Wonder's "I Wish" by coaches Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, Christina Aguilera and Pharrell Williams.
With one spot left on Team Adam, Blake and Christina each, and two spots left on Team Pharrell, they recruited more singers in Blind Auditions. Blake was the first to complete his team with the addition of Jared Harder.
Adam, Christina and Pharrell fought for Moushumi, who eventually went with Pharrell. Adam, Christina and Pharrell passed over several singers until Katie Basden performed. The three coaches wanted her, but Katie chose Adam despite Blake's plea not to choose the Maroon 5 frontman. Pharrell nabbed Jonathan Hutcherson as the last member of his team, while Christina rounded out her team with Ayanna Jahnee.
It was immediately followed by the Battle Rounds. Gwen Stefani returned as her boyfriend Blake's adviser. The real-life couple teamed up to prepare Brittney Lawrence and Paxton Ingram for a duel of "I Know What You Did Last Summer". Their voices blended well, but Blake eventually picked Paxton as the winner.
Tori Kelly was Adam's adviser. She shared advice to Ryan Quinn and Katie Basden before their performance of "Maybe I'm Amazed". Adam had a tough decision to make, and eventually declared Ryan as the winner. Both Blake and Christina pushed their buttons to steal Katie, and she chose to be with Team Blake.
Christina's adviser was Patti LaBelle. Xtina pitted Bryan Bautista against Malik Heard in the first battle of her team. Their rendition of "It's a Man's Man's Man's World" earned a standing ovation from the coaches. "I'm literally the loser in this battle," Xtina admitted, before she decided to keep Bryan on her team. All three other coaches went for the steal, and Malik chose Pharrell as his new coach.
