The Voice coaches Christina Aguilera, Adam Levine, Blake Shelton and Pharrell Williams all turned their chairs around for Deanna Johnson after she had previously auditioned for the show's fifth season and didn't even make the cut.

During the second night of Blind Auditions on Tuesday night, Deanna, an 18-year-old from Hazlehurst, GA, sang "All I Want" and sparked each coach's interest. Deanna had performed on The Voice stage before only to be rejected, so her amazing feat was acknowledged.
Blake suggested to Deanna she shouldn't go with "the little people," Christina asked her not to get sucked into all the men's dimples because she's a rockstar, Adam said things in her performance needed work and he wanted to advise her to help make those things better, and Pharrell was just blown away and got up on the stage next to her to make his plea.
Deanna decided to be on Adam's team, disappointing the other admiring coaches.
Another four-chair turnaround was Anthony Riley, a 27-year-old from Philadelphia, PA, who sang "I Got You (I Feel Good)." Blake said it was the most entertaining performance of the season, Christina noted he's "a feeling guy" and they could do magical things together, Pharrell explained he's a soulful talent, and Adam said he had a plan for him going forward.

Even after Blake insisted he'd be the whiskey in Anthony's water, the artist opted to be on Pharrell's team.
Three coaches bickered over Tonya Boyd-Cannon, a 35-year-old from New Orleans, LA, who performed "Happy." She picked Adam over Christina and Pharrell.
Artist Joe Tolo, a 21-year-old from Sacramento, CA sang "To Love Somebody" and picked Christina over Blake. Blake also lost Mia Z, a 15-year-old from Pittsburgh, PA, to Pharrell. Mia Z performed "The Thrill is Gone." Adam also won an artist over Blake. Blaze Johnson, a 23-year-old from Columbus, OH, who sang "How to Save a Life" wanted to work with Adam.
Blake at least got Brooke Adee, a 16-year-old from Tampa, FL, for his team. The "Skinny Love" singer chose the country coach over Adam.
Gabriel Wolfchild, a 26-year-old from Seattle, WA, selected "Team Christina" instead of joining Adam and Blake's teams. He performed "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right."

The following three artists failed to turn a chair around and therefore did not advance in the competition: Dylan Dunlap, an 18-year-old from Studio City, CA, with "Talk Dirty;" Drew Parker, a 23-year-old from Covington, GA, with "Workin' Man Blues;" and Bryan Pierce, a 39-year-old from Charlotte , NC, with "Rocket Man."
