The Voice: Season 16's 10 Best Blinds — Which Singers Are Likeliest to Win?

Now that The Voice’s Blake Shelton, Adam Levine, Kelly Clarkson and new coach on the block John Legend have turned their last chairs of Season 16, it’s our “turn” — to play favorites. As the NBC sing-off recaps its latest round of Blind Auditions tonight (8/7c), we’re counting down the 10 best tryouts, ranking the contestants from unlikeliest to likeliest to follow Season 15’s Chevel Shepherd into the winner’s circle.

Included in our picks are a country boy who’d previously made the Top 10 on the same rival talent show that launched Kelly’s career (but of course can’t be named on The Voice), a self-described teacher by day, rock star by night, a 14-year-old whose poise and polish belie her age, and a vocalist whose performance was so good that he was warned not to be too perfect.
