Five more artists won spots on The Voice as Season 28 continued Tuesday night.
Max Cooper III became the fourth artist to turn four chairs on the show and decided to join Team Michael.
The show also featured a couple of unexpected yeses.
Ryan Mitchell, who failed to turn a chair Monday night, earned a spot on Team Reba thanks to the new Carson Callback.
And Jacob Ryan Gustafson, a 35-year-old firefighter from Yucaipa, Calif., didn’t turn a chair with his rendition of Morgan Wallen’s “Spin You Around.”
But he called his girlfriend Jennifer to the stage during the coaches’ comments, dropped to a knee and proposed to her.
She said “yes,” making Ryan the night’s big winner.
Here’s a recap.
Editor’s note: For more on the artists who earned spots on the show, including information on the music they’ve already released, follow the links below.
BEST OF THE NIGHT
Max Cooper III, 23, Kansas City, Miss., “Cooler Than Me” by Mike Posner: Max accompanied himself on keys and got a quick chair turn from Snoop Dogg. Reba McEntire turned midway through the performance. Niall Horan and Michael Buble eventually followed. Meanwhile, Max delivered an impressive vocal, showed off nice stage presence and nary a bit of nerves on The Voice stage. Reba said his performance kept improving; she called his super cute and super good. Niall loved the way Max added a jazz flavor to a pop tune. Max said the first song he ever performed was “Just Haven’t Met You Yet.” It’s a song Michael wrote, so he joined Max on stage to sing a snippet of the tune. No surprise after that; Max decided to join Team Michael.
ALSO MADE THE SHOW
Yoshihanaa, 36, Sanford, Fla., “”Nobody’s Supposed to Be Here” by Deborah Cox: Yoshi’s silky smooth opening prompted an almost immediate chair turn from Snoop Dogg. Her voice swelled and more chairs turned — Reba McEntire and Niall Horan. Reba called her voice “angelic.” Snoop said it was immediately obvious she was someone he wanted to work with. Niall called her audition “impeccable” and said he loved her rasp. Yoshi decided to join Team Snoop.
Lucas Beltran, 19, Philadelphia, Pa. , “You’ll Never Find Another Love Like Mine” by Lou Rawls : Lucas is well into his performance before Michael Buble and Reba McEntire turned. Michael clearly wanted to turn much earlier. Reba said she loved the performance. Snoop was shocked he knew the song. Michael liked the “authenticity” in his performance and noted that he hasn’t turned for crooners in the past because they didn’t sound authentic. Shame on The Voice for keeping the camera on the coaches and Lucas in the dark for the bulk of his performance. Lucas joins Team Michael.
Ryan Mitchell, 25, Los Angeles, Calif, “Baby, One More Time” by Britney Spears: Ryan didn’t turn a chair on last night’s show but got the first-ever Carson Daly callback card. Now he’s back with a new song, and is putting a rock spin on the Britney pop hit. And you just knew someone had to turn, or else the first-ever Carson callback would be a failure. Late in the performance, Reba did it. Reba said she was thrilled with the show’s new gimmick because Ryan’s a great singer. Since she was the only one to turn, Ryan automatically joined Team Reba.
Carolina Rodriguez, 19, Miami, Fla., “Cardigan” by Taylor Swift: Carolina proclaims to be Niall’s biggest fan and brings his poster to her audition. She has a really nice tone. And Niall tuns almost immediately. To her credit, Carolina keeps it together. But the smile says it all. At the very last second, Snoop Dogg turns too. Snoop realizes he’s lost before the coach pitches even begin. Carolina has a lot of personality and charisma. Carolina, of course, joins Team Niall.
