'The Voice' coaches complete Season 9 teams with conclusion of "Blind Auditions"

The Voice coaches Gwen Stefani, Blake Shelton, Adam Levine and Pharrell Williams completed their ninth-season teams during Monday night's final episode of the "Blind Auditions" on NBC.


Last night's broadcast featured eight more talented artists making it on a team. Three performers were absolute standouts and have a shot to win the competition.

Dustin Christensen sang "Downtown Train" and managed to turn around all four chairs. Gwen called Dustin "a beautiful talent," Adam suggested there's room for improvement and he could be the coach to help him. Pharrell commented on Dustin's heart and range, and Blake compared him to Neil Diamond. Dustin decided he wanted to be on Blake's team.

Blake also won Blaine Mitchell in a faceoff against Gwen. Blaine performed "Drops of Jupiter."

Shelby Brown performed "Stars" and also received a four-chair turnaround once she hit the difficult high notes. Adam raved about how her "brilliant moments were so brilliant" and he only had one spot left on his team which he wanted her to fill. Blake praised her for perfect pitch and Gwen explained all music comes from the heart so she can coach any artist regardless of genre.


In the end, Shelby opted to be on Adam's team.

Adam also snagged Dustin Monk after he performed "Bright Lights" and had to choose between the rocker and Blake.

Another incredible singer was Amy Vachal with "Dream a Little Dream of Me." Adam was furious his team was filled because he wanted her badly. She sparked the interest of all the coaches and received standing ovations. She chose to be on "Team Pharrell" after he fought hard against Gwen and Blake.

Pharrell also turned his chair around for Sydney Rhame, who sang "Photography."

Gwen was the only coach to turn around for two artists who deserve to compete. She now has Chase Kerby, who sang "The Scientist," and Summer Schappel, who took the stage with "Strawberry Wine," on her team.


The Voice will start its infamous "Battle Round" next week in which two artists from a team square off against one another for one spot. The rounds of battles nearly cut each coach's team in half.
