The Voice Recap: Chair You Have It — Five Singers’ Blinds Make the Coaches See Stars

As The Voice continued to tee up one Blind Audition after another Tuesday, John Legend, Reba McEntire, Gwen Stefani and Niall Horan’s teams of 14 contestants each were starting to fill up. But only one singer was so good that, when he chose the EGOT winner over his fellow coaches, they were moved to sigh that they’d just lost Season 24. Had they really? Eh, probably not. But dude was good. Read about his performance — it’s the last one — and all the rest below.

Willie Gomez (Team Legend), “La Bachata” — Grade: B- | Once a dancer for, among others, Britney Spears, Jennifer Lopez and Christina Aguilera, 37-year-old Willie set four chairs a-spinning with a tone that was as seductive as his playful banter with Gwen. “You have a really nice baritone,” John observed. But he also dug Willie’s breathier vocals. Hey, hot is hot. Or, as Reba put it, “cute as a button.”

Olivia Eden (Team Niall), “This Town” — Grade: A- | A self-proclaimed “weird kid,” this adorable 15-year-old delivered an absolutely lovely rendition of Niall’s ballad. How lovely was it? I felt like we were being serenaded by Tinkerbell or, like, Lisa Loeb if the sweetness was turned all the way up to 11 — that lovely. I do worry, though, that the butterflies might get the best of the two-chair turn in the long run.

Caitlin Quisenberry (Team Reba), “Rainbow” — Grade: B | After being brought back to music by her experience singing for her late grandma, Caitlin dedicated her performance to the woman who had been like a second mom to her. Something tells me she would’ve been as proud as can be. Though John heard early shakiness in Caitlin’s Kacey Musgraves cover, I heard mostly a gorgeous, clear-as-a-cowbell country voice.

Kara Tenae (Team Gwen), “Boo’d Up” — Grade: B | A rideshare driver who appeared in a commercial with Julia Michaels, this former girl-group member won over three coaches by covering Ella Mai with an oomph that all but demanded attention. But, though the vocal firepower and versatility were there, I (and maybe only I?) didn’t get much connection between Kara and the number.

Caleb Sasser (Team Legend), “Another Sad Love Song” — Grade: A | This soft-spoken middle-school teacher wowed Gwen and Niall almost from the second that he opened his mouth (with John and Reba soon following). His vocals were creamy and rich, his falsetto outta this world, and ya had to love the jazzy spin that he put on Toni Braxton. His stage persona could stand a bit of amplifying, though. And why was she smiling through a heartbreak ballad?
