'The Voice' wraps Blind Auditions with ex-Beyonce bandmate and Bill Danoff's son making a team

The Voice's tenth-season Blind Auditions came to a close Tuesday night with a former Beyonce bandmate and the son of Bill Danoff from Starland Vocal Band advancing to the next Battle Round.


Tuesday night featured the end of the Blind Auditions, with coaches Christina Aguilera, Blake Shelton, Adam Levine and Pharrell Williams attempting to fill up their teams.

Owen Danoff, son of the man whose band is famous for the hit "Afternoon Delight," got all four coaches to turn their chairs for him when he performed "Don't Think Twice. It's All Right."

Adam told Owen he has a strong identity and his vocals came across in a crushing yet sensitive manner. Christina said if he keeps singing music from the heart, he'll be sure to speak to the world. Blake was dying to work with an artist like him, as there really wasn't anyone on his team like him. Lastly, Pharrell noted Owen sings with feeling and heart, implying they'd make a great match.

In the end, Owen opted to join "Team Adam."


Tamar Davis has a very interesting backstory. She was an original member of the girl group Tyme, which later exploded into being Destiny's Child with Beyonce at the head. Tamar's parents had forced her to quit the group because they didn't believe she was ready for a music career at such a young age.

Tamar performed "Chain of Fools" and both Blake and Christina turned around. She decided to be on Christina's team.

Jessica Crosbie, originally from England, sang "Viva La Vida" and sparked the interest of everyone except Blake.

Christina could tell that Jessica had vocal ability she had yet to showcase, and the coach told Jessica they could achieve greatness together. Adam pinpointed Jessica's "razor sharp" accuracy in the beginning, however her breath and nerves kicked in once the coaches turned around and Adam said he could help her with that.

Pharrell said he'd love to just hold up the mirror to show Jessica how great she is. Pharrell said they could also learn her strengths and weaknesses together. Because of Pharrell's power of persuasion, Jessica decided to join his team.


Christina and Blake went head-to-head for singers a few more times throughout the episode. Christina typically turned around first, so Blake's participation annoyed her.

They both went after Daniel Passino, who sang "Marvin Gaye;" Brittney Lawrence, who performed "Warrior;" and Joe Maye, who took the stage with "I Put A Spell On You." Daniel and Joe picked Christina, while Brittney selected Blake. 

Christina had pulled out all the stops for Joe by getting up onstage for a spontaneous duet. It was as if the pair had rehearsed the number for days together because it was that amazing.

Christina was the only coach who turned her chair around for Chelsea Gann, and then she fought against Pharrell for Maya Smith, who sang "Do Right Woman, Do Right Man." She opted to be on Pharrell's team.

Adam was the only coach who turned around for Lily Green, who sang "Songbird," and Matt Tedder, who sang "[I'm Your] Hoochie Coochie Man."


Adam also squared off against Blake for two artists: Justin Whisnant, who sang "Ain't Worth The Whiskey," and Teresa Guidry, who sang "Girl Crush." Both artists picked Blake.

The Voice will air a special "Best of the Blind Auditions" episode Wednesday night before the Battle Round begins next week.
