After two weeks of blind auditions, only 20 spots remain on Season 28 of The Voice.
And those spots will likely be filled this week. The next blind audition episodes air Monday at 8 p.m. and Tuesday at 8 p.m.
Below is a look at how the teams stack up so far. If you judge them based on chair turns, Team Niall Horan looks stacked as Niall pursues his third Voice title in his third season on the show.
Eight singers have turned four chairs so far in Season 28, and half of them have landed on Team Niall, including singer-songwriters Kirbi and Aiden Ross, country singer Kayleigh Clark and county-pop trio DEK of Hearts.
Michael Bublé has landed a pair of four-chair turns — Jazz McKenzie and Max Cooper III. So has Snoop Dogg, with Sadie Dahl and Ralph Edwards.
Then there’s Team Reba. For all the talk about her being the queen of The Voice, she’s yet to land an artist who turned more than two chairs. That being said, I have a feeling some of the coaches are reluctant to battle her over country singers. Cori Kennedy and Leyton Robinson, in particular, deserved more chair turns than they got.
Follow the links below to learn more about each artist, including information about music they’ve already released. You’ll find additional links at the bottom of the page for artists rumored to have made the show, but whose auditions have not aired yet.
