The Voice Season 30 has already delivered four nights of Blind Auditions, and the race to complete the teams is now entering its final stretch.
Adam Levine, Kelly Clarkson, Queen Latifah and Riley Green have spent the opening episodes fighting over singers, celebrating huge chair turns and using the new First-In Button to stop rival coaches from stealing artists they desperately wanted.
But as of September 30, there are now only two Blind Audition episodes remaining.
Season 30 opened with a special three-night premiere beginning Monday, September 21. Blind Auditions Part 2 followed on September 22, with Part 3 airing the following night on September 23.
The competition returned on Monday, September 28 for Blind Auditions Part 4, a two-hour episode that added several more singers to the four teams and left fewer available spots heading into October.
The next episode, Blind Auditions Part 5, airs Monday, October 5 at 8 p.m. ET.
Then comes the final night. Blind Auditions Part 6 airs Tuesday, October 6 at 8 p.m. ET, bringing the opening stage of Season 30 to an end.
That makes six Blind Audition episodes altogether.
The pressure should only increase during those final two nights. Kelly, Riley and Queen already have eight artists apiece following Part 4, while Adam currently has seven, meaning the coaches are getting much closer to completing their teams.
Team Queen currently includes BigCountry, Marcus Ladden Jr., Mia Knight, Alt Bloom, Morgan Lett, Bryan Jaymes, Sophia Liano and four-chair standout Chari.
Riley’s team includes Joe Henley, Ferryn & Brinkley, Caroline Alexis, Harmony McKee, Kenna Elpers, Cade Mower, Everett Bounds and 15-year-old Allie Rae, whom Riley secured with his First-In Button.
Kelly has Hazel Gerson, Brianna Cameron, Koumba Diallo, Johnnie Kapua, Kyle Davis, Brooklyn Marie, Saade and Anna McElroy, giving her another varied group heading into the final auditions.
Adam’s current lineup includes Destinee Monroe, Owen Uffens, Lexi Stephens, Amanda Mikkel, Connor Closs, Julia Clark and Cal Cook.
The First-In Button has also made this year’s Blind Auditions less predictable. Each coach can use the advantage once when they are the first person to turn during a multi-chair audition, allowing them to immediately secure that singer instead of waiting for the artist to choose.
Once the final Blind Audition airs on October 6, the competition changes dramatically. The Battles premiere Monday, October 12, when artists from the same teams will begin performing against one another for the chance to continue in the competition.
So despite an earlier version of the story saying “three Blind Auditions” remained, the correct number after the September 28 episode is two. With the teams nearly full and only Parts 5 and 6 remaining, every final chair turn could have a major effect on what Adam, Kelly, Queen and Riley take into the Battles.
