His audition: Wade Turner, 18, Georgetown, Mass., “This Town” by Niall Horan: Wow, Wade showed off a really impressive tone from the opening note.

Her audition: Keiyana Osmond, 32, Salt Lake City, Utah, “Kiss Me” by Sixpence None the Richer: Wow, lovely tone. And that tone enticed a quick chair turn from Riley Green. Keiyana continued to deliver a solid performance, but none of the other coaches turned, meaning Keiyana automatically became Team Green. Riley said he liked the…
His audition: Brayden Howell, 19, Marshville, N.C., “Friends in Low Places” by Garth Brooks: Brayden has a nice strong voice, but hit the stage when every team was full except for Riley’s. Turned out Brayden enticed Riley to turn with his first run-through of the song’s catchy chorus. That earned him the very last spot…
Her audition: Brooklyn Marie, 14, Alexandria, Minnesota, “Traitor” by Olivia Rodrigo: Brooklyn’s vulnerable delivery earned a quick chair turn from Queen Latifah. Oh, my, Brooklyn is absolutely adorable and talented. Kelly Clarkson turned and is clearly shocked by Brooklyn’s youth. Queen Latifah said her voice sounded special “right away” and praised her ending as well….
His audition: Brendan Coulter, 27, Toledo, Ohio, “Liar” by Jelly Roll: Brendan showed off great range and a distinct tone from the opening note. Nice upbeat audition song and Brendan did a fine job with it. He was surprisingly deep into the performance before Riley Green turned. Brendan’s performance kept getting stronger. Kelly Clarkson eventually…
Her audition: Destinee Monroe, 32, Atlantic City, N.J., “Home Sweet Home” by Motley Crue: Wow, Destinee has a lovely tone. And Adam Levine turned just as Destinee prepares to belt the chorus. And belt she does, prompting Queen Latifah to turn. Destinee nails on heck of a glory note, getting Riley to turn as well….
His audition: Brandon Diaz, 29, Ashburn, Va., “Drink You Away” by Justin Timberlake: Brandon auditioned for The Voice at 14 and didn’t turn a change. That won’t happen this time.

Her audition: Kavi Nyx, 17, Atlanta, Ga., “Wildflower” by Billie Eilish: Kavi’s ethereal vocals prompted almost immediate chair turns from Kelly Clarkson and Adam Levine. Riley Green soon followed, meaning Kavi turned the chairs of every coach who still had an open spot. Kavi showed off impressive range, power and passion. Very tasteful performance for…
His audition: Evan James, 22, Highland, Mich., “Wasted on You” by Morgan Wallen: Evan displayed a nice deep voice as the song opened. When he hit the chorus, all three coaches with open spots on their teams — Kelly Clarkson, Riley Green and Adam Levine — turned. Kelly liked the R&B flavor Evan added to…
Her audition: Nina Howland, 24, New York, N.Y., “Love Me Like a Man” by Bonnie Raitt: Wow, Nina’s opening screamed soul and sass and performance know-how. Her first belted line had Kelly Clarkson and Queen Latifah turning chairs with gusto. And Nina sure performs with gusto, like she owns The Voice stage. Her big ending…
