Peyton Parker admits she was surprised by Blake Shelton’s battle round song choice for her and Gina Castanzo. They were asked to perform “Borderline” by Madonna, though it was a pop song that didn’t really fit either of their musical genres. But Peyton also lucked out in a way, she said during a conference…
Owen Danoff turned four chairs with his blind audition cover of “Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right” on The Voice. But he says he faced a couple of challenges when it came time for his Team Adam battle round match with John Gilman. First, they were asked to sing the Bonnie Rait version of…
When Joe Maye auditioned for Season 9 of The Voice, he didn’t turn a single chair. Now he’s bound for the knockout round as a member of Team Christina in Season 10. Joe won his matchup against Ayanna Jaynee in a battle round match we didn’t get to see. But Joe filled in the…
