“The Voice” blind auditions of season 25 concluded on Tuesday, March 12 with each of the four coaches selecting their 10th and final artist to join their team. John Legend heads the current panel of coaches, returning for his ninth season in a red chair. Reba McEntire and Chance the Rapper each return for their second season and Dan + Shay make history in their first season in the first ever two-coach chair.

Before the coaches divide their teams of 10s for the Battles round head-to-heads beginning Monday, March 18, we asked YOU who your favorite artists are so far from each team. Check out the results for each of our four “Who is your favorite artist on Team ___?” below.

On Team Dan + Shay, the favorite as of this writing is 21 year old Madison Curbelo who sang “Stand by Me” and is the only artist on the team that was won in a four-chair turn. Madison first sang for “The Voice” coaches on season 20, but no coach turned their chair and Blake Shelton advised her to continue to develop her voice and stage presence by gigging for a couple years. That, and completing education at Berklee, helped prepare Madison for a more successful audition this season. Following her performance, Shay said that she “radiates light and joy” and considered her audition “flawless.”

As of this writing, Madison had 21% of the vote as the favorite on Team Dan + Shay. Right behind her were Ducote Talmage with 15% and both Justin & Jeremy Garcia and Kyle Schuesler closing in on 12%.

On Team Chance, Serenity Arce holds a steady lead with 30% of the vote as of this writing based on her audition of “This City.” Like Madison, Serenity earned a chair turn from all four coaches, but in this battle John “wasted” his block to prevent her from choosing Dan + Shay only for her to join Chance’s team instead. When pitching to Serenity, Chance said that his goal as a coach is to give artists space to make their own decisions in the competition and acknowledged the “real dedication” that came through in her performance.

The other popular artists so far on Team Chance based on the poll results are Dani Stacy at 21%, Val T. Webb with 16% of the vote, and Maddi Jane hovering at 13%.

On Team Legend, the race to be called “favorite” is tight with 49 year old Bryan Olesen barely squeaking out a lead over trio OK3 as of this writing – both artists are circling the 25% mark in the poll results. Bryan auditioned to “Love Runs Out” with John, Reba and Dan + Shay all hitting their buttons very early in the performance. John said that he has “everything to be a superstar” and in this third episode of auditions said it’s the best they had seen so far. OK3 was John’s first four-chair turn win of the season after he pulled out an inflatable tube man that said “Pick Team Legend” in order to help sway them to his side based on their audition of “Made You Look.” John told them he has a history of working with groups and that watching them felt like being at a “mini concert” already.

Olivia Rubini with 18% and Zoe Levert with 10% were the other artists on Team Legend that were early standouts based on our poll.

On Team Reba, voters are more split for their favorite here than among the other teams, but not when it comes to Donny Van Slee who is their consensus pick. With 21% of the vote based on his performance of “Greatest Love Story,” fans are excited about the chiropractor the prompted Reba to successfully use her block against Dan + Shay in order to secure him to her team in an effective auto-bid. The rasp in his voice is what stuck out to all of the coaches, but Reba told her that she knew Dan + Shay would love him so she had to jump in quick to block them and have a chance to get him for herself.

Outside of Donny, the audience is also looking at the following artists from Team Reba as potential favorites: Asher HaVon and Elyscia Jefferson each have 14% of the vote; Josh Sanders and L. Rodgers each have 10% of the vote.
