The Voice, Ep. 9.1

Season 9 is here! I'm excited for another great season of discovering new talent. Our coaches this season are: Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, Gwen Stefani and Pharrell Williams.

Let's get to the first round of Blind Auditions, and find out who the coaches pick for their teams.

Team Adam

Keith Semple, 33
Cute Irish guy! Ooh, he's playing guitar, so you know I'm going to love him! Beautiful voice! He sang a classic rock song, and it was awesome. He rocked it and has a really strong vocal range. He's been a part of bands in the past, but it's clear that he can be a very successful solo act.
Chair Turns: 2 (Adam, Gwen)

Jordan Smith
You're brave if you tackle Sia's "Chandelier", and boy did he tackle it! I totally got goosebumps. And get this..we started out like the coaches...only hearing the voice. Without a doubt, I thought this was a black woman. The hugest surprise when they show this white guy with glasses and a flanel shirt! Talk about surprises! Shock aside, his voice was absolutely stunning! He seems to not know exactly how good he is, but he has an amazing message and outlook on life.

Team Blake

Nadjah Nicole, 23
She had a pretty decent performance. I think she was holding back a little bit at first, but she kind of let loose at the end.
Chair Turns: 2 (Adam, Blake)

Barrett Baber, 35
He's got a great story, and a really strong country voice. Because it was pretty country, he wasn't my favorite, but he does have a good voice. He ended up on the right team,that's for sure.

Team Gwen

Kota Wade, 23
She has a decent voice, but she sounds pretty ordinary. I did not care for her outfit or her hair color at all.
Chair Turns: 3 (Blake, Pharrell, Gwen)

Braiden Sunshine, 15
Is this the Sawyer Fredericks of this season? He's kind of quirky from a small town, just like Sawyer was. For 15, his voice is so polished. His high notes that he held out were just beautiful! He is a very special kid. I can't believe it took so long for someone to turn around! Gwen and Pharrell waited until the very last second!

Team Pharrell

Mark Hood, 24 
He has such a fun and energetic personality. It's infectious! He has a very interesting style. It's kind of old school with a new flavor. He had a lot of runs, but I agree with Pharrell that he sold it. It was done very tastefully. He has some mad skills! He originally said he wanted Blake to be his coach, but he ended up picking Pharrell.
Chair Turns; 4

Siahna Im, 15
What a strange, interesting, and cute girl. She's part Korean, but she kind of has a southern accent. She is so meek when she talks, and then she comes out with this deep soulful voice on  "Fever". Talk about two completely different sides to her from the performer side of her to her normal speaking personality. She really showed some attitude as well, which is not how she came across in her video package. I think she could go far.
