The Voice is on the hunt for the best undiscovered singers in the country.
Season 27 of NBC’s hit reality competition show returned in January and coaches Kelsea Ballerini, Michael Bublé, John Legend and Adam Levine didn’t waste any time building their teams in the blind auditions.
Despite a five-year hiatus from the show, Adam, 45, didn’t hesitate to turn his red hair when he heard a talented and unforgettable voice.
“I wouldn’t say I was nervous, but I was definitely curious to see and feel what it was going to be like,” the Maroon 5 frontman told NBC before the season began. “It’s been a while since I’ve been on and I honestly thought maybe it was time. I just thought I’d come back and give it another chance.”
The Voice quickly became a success after it debuted on NBC in 2011, with Carson Daly as host and a group of successful coaches ready to find the next superstar. Kicking off the first season, Blake Shelton, Christina Aguilera, CeeLo Green and Adam Levine filled the coaches’ chairs, each bringing their different expertise to the […]

Britton Moore – Coldplay’s ‘Yellow’
Look at the stars; look how they shine for Britton. After missing a previous season of The Voice because his high school baseball team made it to the championships, Britton made it to the stage and earned a four-chair turn from the judges.
“There was definitely something in your voice that reminded me a little bit of how I do it,” Adam told the 21-year-old Texas native. “I just felt, like, an instant connection with you. I pushed really early because I felt this kid is going to be special and I was right.” Britton ultimately chose Team Adam.
Bryson Battle – Donny Hathaway’s ‘A Song for You’
Within seconds of covering “A Song for You,” Bryson wowed each of the judges with his range and tone. “You might have the greatest voice I’ve ever heard in my life,” Michael said. “I sing that song every night in my shows, and I’ve never sung it that good.”
The North Carolina native ultimately picked Team John as he moved toward the battle rounds.
Grace-Miller Moody – Maroon 5’s ‘Sunday Morning’
It takes a brave singer to appear on The Voice and sing a classic Maroon 5 hit in front of the band’s lead singer. But when Grace-Miller took the stage, she quickly received a four-chair turn thanks to her unique rendition of “Sunday Morning.”
“Forget the song,” Adam said. “I know it’s mine. I know you have great taste in music. All of that’s fantastic. … I can definitely help you get to where you want to go. The potential is limitless.”
Ethan Eckenroad – Noah Kahan’s ‘Northern Attitude’
In just two short weeks, Ethan’s audition received more than one million views on YouTube. His take on “Northern Attitude” quickly earned him a four-chair turn and praise from Kelsea.
“This is the first time I felt like I was turning for an artist like I’m at your show,” she said. “I love Noah. I have a song out with Noah right now [and] I’m a fan of you.” Despite the country singer’s persuasive argument, Ethan chose Team Adam.
RENZO – Lynyrd Skynyrd’s ‘Simple Man’
Some music fans may have recognized RENZO from when he made the Top 10 on American Idol seven years ago. At that time, he auditioned with his full name, Dennis Lorenzo.
While appearing on The Voice, RENZO picked Team John after hearing a compelling argument from the Grammy winner. “The only award I want to win with you is The Voice,” Legend said. “And then watch you go win a bunch of Grammys on your own.”
Lucia Flores-Wiseman – Ángela Aguilar’s ‘La Llorona’
During week 4 of the Battle Rounds, Lucia received a four-chair turn from the judges thanks to her unforgettable cover. Kelsea called her a “magical human being,” while John made it clear that “all of us would love to coach you.”
Ultimately, it was Adam comparing Lucia to Brandi Carlile that may have secured his team one of the most talented singers of the season.
