While Miley and Alicia have no problem luring the contestants to join their teams during the Blind Auditions, Adam Levine loses so many singers to Blake Shelton and the new coaches.
- Sep 20, 2016
AceShowbiz - "The Voice" is back with its 11th season on Monday, September 19. Miley Cyrus and Alicia Keys made their debut as coaches in the season premiere, which started with Blind Auditions as always. And as you might have predicted, friendly rivalry between the new coaches and the returning ones, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton, began.
Both Adam and Alicia wanted Jason Warrior who sang "Living for the City". As the two battled it out for the 21-year-old singer, Miley joined Blake to urge Jason to turn down Adam. It worked as Jason eventually picked Alicia as his coach.
Medical device salesman and former swimmer Dave Moisan got a four-chair turn with his rendition of "Sex & Candy". The 33-year-old is a big Maroon 5 fan, but he made a surprising decision by choosing Alicia as his coach, instead of Adam.
Courtnie Ramirez was up next, singing "Mamma Knows Best!". Miley and Alicia pushed their buttons for her. Courtnie eventually went with Miley, giving the former Disney darling her first team member of the night.
Sundance Head, who has a strong country music root, naturally impressed Blake with his performance of "I've Been Loving You Too Long". Adam wanted him too, but he didn't have a chance. The Texan singer, who had competed in season 6 of "American Idol", made the obvious choice by joining Team Blake.
Maggie Renfroe, 16, was trying to decide whether or not to attend college or pursue her musical career. She sang "Lost Boy", but unfortunately no one turned for her.
Ali Caldwell, a former girl group singer, stunned all four coaches with her sultry take on Ariana Grande's "Dangerous Woman". Alicia and Adam showered Ali with praise, but the 28-year-old New York Native eventually went with Miley.
Riley Elmore, 16, sang "The Way You Look Tonight" and he surprisingly sounded a lot like the original singer, Frank Sinatra. Adam and Blake wanted him. The Maroon 5 frontman didn't want to lose to Blake this time, going onto the stage to sing with Riley to impress him. Adam finally landed his first team member of the season.
Dana Harper put a spin on Nick Jonas' "Jealous". Blake and Alicia turned for her, with Adam joining in at the last minute. Dana would be a good member of Team Alicia, but she surprisingly chose to join Team Blake.
Gabe Broussard, 15, sang "Lovely Night in Georgia" and impressed Blake and Miley. Gabe had to make a tough decision, but eventually went with Team Blake.
Chris Cron was a member of band Devils & Angels which was successful in Japan. He performed "Never Tears Up Apart", but he didn't have what the coaches were looking for.
Christian Cuevas was the last to sing that night. Adam and Blake quickly hit their buttons as he performed "Who Am I Supposed to Be Without You", with Alicia following later. Christian chose Alicia as his coach, much to Miley's delight.
