The Blind Auditions continued last night (10/26) on season 19 of The Voice. Was Blake Shelton able to bring any new artists to Team Blake?
Jus Jon performed the song “Talk” by Khalid. He did a good job on the song from what I could tell. I was a bit surprised that Blake was the only coach to press his button for him at almost the last minute. Don’t feel like Jus Jon will be let down by that fact. In the vignette leading up to his performance Jus Jon states he would like to be coached by either John Legend or Blake.
The very next artist was Ben Allen performing the Brooks & Dunn hit song “red Dirt Road.” Ben’s voice is so clear and clean that Blake hits his button almost immediately. Gwen Stefani and John Legend also recognize the talent in the voice and turn their chairs. I believe Ben should have been a four chair turn. However, I also believe Kelly Clarkson felt she couldn’t take this artist from Blake so did not press her button. The other two coaches tried, but Ben made the obvious choice (and right choice in my opinion) to join Team Blake. There are still many more artists to become a part of the show this season. However, I am going to make a prediction right now that Ben will be in the finale.
At the end of the night Kelly added one artist to bring Team Kelly to a total of six members. Blake, Gwen and John added two artists each to bring all of their respective teams to six artists each as well.
You can see what artists joined the other teams at the official YouTube channel of The Voice here.
Last night’s show ended with a four chair turn for Desz who performed Toni Braxton’s “Unbreak My Heart.” We got to hear all of the pitches from the coaches. What didn’t hear was the choice Desz makes for her coach.
We will find out who she chose in tonight’s episode (10/27) of season 19 of The Voice at 7 PM central time (8 PM eastern time) on NBC.
