Lucas West and Liv Ciara did not turn all three chairs on The Voice when the first auditions of Season 29 aired Monday night.

But they did turned in the most popular performances that night in terms of YouTube views.

As of midnight Saturday, they were the only artists from the season premiere to have their audition video viewed on the site more than 200,000 times.

Lucas, from Fairport, N.Y., turned two chairs with his cover of “Bennie and the Jets” by Elton John. He decided to join Team John.

Liv, from St. Peters, Missouri, also turned two chairs singing “We Can’t Be Friends” by Ariana Grande. She opted to join Team Kelly.

Liv was also auditioning for the second time in front of the celebrity judges. She tried out in Season 28, failed to turn a chair and turned right around to audition for Season 29.

Another thing Lucas and Liv have in common: At age 20 and age 16, respectively, they were two of the youngest singers featured on Monday’s show.

A full list of video views for artists featured on the season premiere follows. Of the singers on the list, only Landon Price failed to turn a chair.
