The Voice coaches Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, Gwen Stefani, and Pharrell Williams completed their seventh-season teams with the conclusion of the competition's blind auditions phase during Monday night's NBC broadcast.

Only one four-chair turnaround was featured during last night's episode, and that person was Beth Spangler. The young blonde performed a soulful rendition of "Best Thing I Never Had" by Beyonce and peaked the interest of all four coaches. After the show's stars battled it out to have her on their team, Beth picked "Team Adam."
Two artists managed to turn three chairs around for them. Matt McAndrew sang his own version of "A Thousand Years" and captured everyone's attention except Gwen. He also chose to be on Adam's team. Griffin performed "It's A Beautiful Day" and everyone turned around except for Adam. He selected Pharrell.
Gwen faced off against a fellow coach -- either Blake or Pharrell -- four times and won two of those head-to-head battles. Brittany Butler sang "The Girl From Ipanema" and had to choose between Gwen and Pharrell. She opted to join "Team Pharrell."
Ryan Sill performed "Secrets," causing Blake and Gwen to fight over him. He ended up picking Gwen. Fernanda Bosch took the stage with "I Try" and prompted Blake and Gwen to turn their chairs. He picked Blake. Mayra Alvarez sang "Human Nature" and, once again, influenced Gwen and Blake to go at it. She selected "Team Gwen."

After Adam, Gwen and Pharrell's teams were completed, Blake had to select one more artist to join his pack. After shooting down multiple auditioners, Blake decided to go with Justin Johnes, who performed "Let Her Go."
The following artists failed to make a team: Evan Watson with "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down," Erin Kim with "Latch," Chandra Knudsen with "Hard to Love," Luke Niccoli with "Sing," Nikki Rene with "Something to Talk About," and Bradley McKee with "Me and My Broken Heart."
Tuesday night's The Voice broadcast will feature a "best of the blinds" recap episode of the season thus far. Next week will begin the show's seventh-season "Battle Round" during which each coach works with an advisor to prep pairs of teammates to face-off against one another in order to determine each team's best vocalists.
