The Voice did it again! His looks did not match his voice and the coaches were stunned as they turned around in their chairs, particularly Gwen Stefani.

Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani have become more than competing coaches on The Voice. Maybe the hopefuls who closed out the coaches’ teams of 12 will provide a few much needed spice in the coming rounds…
The country power couple first met in 2005 at the CMT’s 100 Greatest Duets Concert but “The Voice” judge was still married to his first wife Kaynette Gern. The ex-partners have come to an agreement that Lambert would keep their Nashville property while Shelton will retain his Oklahoma ranch.
Blake was also at the heart of the other biggest surprise of the final blind auditions – but this time for losing out with 16-year-old Shelby Brown who had all four coaches turning for her after a stunning version of Grace Potter & the Nocturnals’ Stars. I want to say this to you. Of course, you never know what might happen. Gwen called Dustin “a handsome talent”, Adam suggested there’s room for improvement and he could be the coach to help him.
Stefani has also praised Blake, with exchanges showing their fondness for each other. “I love Neal Diamond!” And when 45-year-old Stefani and 39-year-old Blake want the same contestant, protect your head as stilettos (Gwen’s shoe) fly! At one point, the No Doubt songstress described Shelton as “handsome”. Enter Dustin Monk, who – dollars to donuts – Carson will introduce in the Battles as “The Drug-Free Barber”. Hollywood Life shared about a month ago that rumors are flying that Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton are dating. Alternative titles may also be “The Soulful Barber” or “The Tattooed Barber”. He takes on “Bright Lights” by Gary Clark Jr. But this Dustin went to Team Adam.
“It reminded me of me in the way that I just feel like when I go out there, I do whatever I can to seize the moment that is in front of me”, says a self-congratulatory Adam. Levine said he picked up both shades of himself and a “kernel of brilliance” in Monk’s voice.
“He said he heard a kernel of brilliance in there?” “I’m just a fan of yours”. Jordan Smith, who is on Team Adam, is another cast member that shocked the judges.
The future “Candy Shop Crooner” is up next.
Dustin Christensen, who performed at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, Utah, got the night started off right.
Chase sings Coldplay’s “The Scientist” and goes up into a really strong falsetto.
“Your voice is really special”. There is no limit to how hard I will work on Team Gwen, ‘ Chase said.
Blake got Adam back, however, when Levine told a contestant to recognize the stature of Gwen.

Vachal, 26, strumming her guitar, launched into a gorgeous rendition of the 1931 tune that has since been performed by legendary singers like Ozzie Nelson, Ernie Birchill, Ella Fitzgerald, Bing Crosby, Nat King Cole, Doris Day, Anita Harris, Robbie Williams, and many more.
