But interestingly, when the coaches sang each other’s songs during the premiere’s opening number, Blake did croon the Gwen-penned No Doubt breakup ballad “Don’t Speak“, which surely must’ve had some personal meaning for him, given his current situation.

What made you want to return as a coach for the second time? He’s unbelievable and all the judges turn.
“Being able to play this role and being around all this music”.
Seriously, there are so many children auditioning for the show this year.
On tonight’s episode as per the NBC synopsis, “in the season premiere, the “blind auditions” are held in front of the celebrity panel of musician coaches, including Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, Gwen Stefani and Pharrell Williams, who each pick vocalists for their individual teams”. Both Stefani and Levine name-dropped Bono in their pitches for Semple.
It’s mostly just hanging with my hair-and-makeup team, getting glammed up for the show.
Alyssa Sheridan – The first contestant to not get a turn.
Siahna Im, a 15-year-old artist, sang “Fever”, and Stefani turned her chair nearly immediately, followed later by Shelton and Pharrell. And on his team she goes, as Pharrell is her choice for “Voice” coach. As the band progressed, she got more and more passionate about piano and keyboard, and spent the next few years working on her craft and has composed many songs on the piano because of her love for it. Gwen loves his energy and wants him on her team. She gets chair turns from everyone but Adam. Adam would get his first man onto his team when Semple chose him.
“This is like we’re coaching them, we’re trying to make them succeed and do well on a very kind of intimate basis”. The 25-year-old LA native, didn’t get a single chair to turn with his rendition of Say by John Mayer.
The next artist goes by Dr. Paul and is a 66-year-old veteran and musician. These contestants also have some inspiring stories from their lives to tell. Shelton complimented his overall tone but said there were some errors with his technique. Blake says Pharrell is throwing Gwen under the bus. At the beginning of a season, with last season’s successes fresh in my mind, it’s easy to be disappointed in the raw, pre-coached crop. And then they all watch in amazement as Baber hits the high notes at the end.
The 11 artists who auditioned on Monday night ranged from 15 to 66 years old and hailed from eight different states.
Jordan listens while all four coaches plead with him to choose them as their mentor. Gwen’s first recruit was lilac-haired rocker Kota Wade, who belted out “Bring It On Home To Me” like a soulful Cyndi Lauper. She gets everyone but Adam to hit their button.

Blind Auditions begins tonight! I believe we will do it. I think we’re all learning there are a lot of factors that go into launching a star, and it’s not just a TV show.
