This season's Blind Auditions was pretty tough for The Voice's veteran coach Adam Levine!
And why wouldn't it be? He's going head to head with two new amazing coaches, such as the Multi awarded Chart topper Miley Cyrus and the 15 time (yes count them) Grammy award Soul Sensation Alicia Keys. Of course also Country Icon Blake Sheldon. Off camera, the Maroon 5 front man was said to have butt heads with Miley Cyrus according to earnthenecklace.com, as well as their ongoing feud on camera during blind auditions. The king of the 4 chair turn was dethroned when more contestant with 4 chair turn opened their arm towards Team Alicia!
Coach Adam definitely did build quite a strong collective of singers with a big potential of winning the entire season. In case you were not able to keep up with the Blind Auditions Let me give you an over view of the fortunate performers who were picked and / or those who chose to be part of Team Adam.
Team Adam consists of Riley Elmore, (an artist who has performed with Billy Joel) Andrew DeMuro, Brendan Fletcher, JSOUL, Simone Gundy, Ponciano Seoane, Bindi Liebowitz, (New York Conservatory alumni) Elia Esparza. Season 10's Nolan Neal returned, as well as Johnny Rez who suffered from alcoholism but sobered up through his love for music. Another member of Adam's Team is Natasha Bure (the daughter of Candace Cameron from Full House), last but certainly not the least (once a Grammy nominee who spent childhood as a performer but got dropped when he grew up according to an article by the boot) Billy Gillman.
The four artists chosen to be Advisers to aid the coaches in to whipping their singers to shape were not far from awesome. We have Van Halen's Sammy Hagar (Team Adam), Joan Jett (Team Miley), Charley Puth (Team Alicia) and Betty Midler (Team Blake).
