It's the last night of the battle rounds and the judges have the difficult task of juggling between fighting for the best talent and being selective at the same time. At the start of the night, each coach had one spot left on their teams.
Here are the acts that were able to secure the last spots on each coache's team:
Jacqui Sandell
Jacqui is a 24 years old, classically trained ballerina, who traded her tutus for tattoos. She's from NJ and is in a Rock N Roll band with her friends. She's been singing since she was 9, and decided that it was what she wanted to do with her life. For her blind audition, she sang "Dreams" by Fleetwood Mac and got the attention of Adam, Blake, and Usher. She chose Blake, and completed his team.
Amber Carrington
She moved to Nashville and planned to stay and work on her career but had to move home when her mother passed away from breast cancer. She belted out "Good Girl" by Carrie Underwood with her powerful voice. Only Adam turned around, but Blake definitely wished he still had a spot on his team for this country firecracker. She completed Adam's powerhouse team.
Luke Edgemon
His roots are in gospel, the only white partitioner singing in all black churches. Luke sang "I Can't Make You Love Me" by Bonnie Raitt and his soulful voice made Shakira and Usher both bet on the last spot on their team. He chose Shakira since she turned around first, which made her team complete.
Jessica Childress
She was a former PR rep who gave up her stable career to pursue her music. They certainly saved the best for last, because she is AWESOME. Her rendition of Bruno Mars "Marry You" gave me the chills. Since Usher was the only one with room on his team for her, and she is clearly an R&B singer, it was a match made in heaven.
Next week, it's time for the coaches to put in some WORK as they prepare their teams for the battle rounds. Blake enlisted Sheryl Crow to assist him with his coaching duties while Adam has Hilary Scott from Lady Antebellum. Shakira is getting some help from Joel Madden who coaches The Voice Australia and Usher's got Pharell on his side. Let the battles begin! Stay tuned!
