RECAP:
Tonight is the best of the #VoiceBlinds. We see Mark Hood from Chicago, a soul singer, who says no one would know it but he wants to work with Blake. He ended up turning all four chairs and Adam says he loves that Mark high fived the stage. Adam mocks Blake when he tries to rock a Pharrell hat and says he looks like the fisherman from Jaws. Mark ends up choosing Pharrell.
We see a couple of other Pharrell team grabs then Ivonne Acero returning from last season. Blake remembered she worked at a fruit farm but she went with Pharrell. 15 year old Siahna Im is shown next and she got turns from all but Adam then Gwen ran to block the other judges because she wanted her for herself. Siahna is a Pharrell super fan so Gwen didn’t have a chance.
Next we get a look at Pharrell’s Madi Davis who struggles with partial hearing loss from birth. She did an amazing Carol King cover and scored chair turns from Gwen and Pharrell. He says he loves her voice and how different it is. Gwen was heart broken that she didn’t get Madi and is hoping to steal her. We get a look at Darius Scott as well from Team Pharrell who score a three chair turn.
We see a couple more then a focus on Amy Vachal who was Pharrell’s after he fought off Gwen and Blake. Adam’s team was full at that point and he told Amy she could win the whole thing. The other two are disappointed when Amy chose Pharrell. He says she’s like a beautiful angel and Blake says he thinks that Pharrell just won it.

Blake told Dustin they are the same kind of person then had the audience display their Blake face signs. We see a quick rundown of a few other names then it moves to the audition of Blind Joe who has been blind since he was a kid.
The other judges try to woo him to their side but Blake offers the lure of Joe performing with Ronny Milsap after he wins it. No surprise, he chose Blake as his coach. Next we see Chris Crump who did Ed Sheeran’s Thinking Out Loud and killed it for a four chair turn. Blake tells him he may not seem like he’s the obvious choice for him, but he is. Chris chooses him and Blake is shocked he scored the guy.
Next we see Krista Hughes who loves vintage country and Blake sang and mocked the others after he gets her on his team. We see a rundown of a few others then teen crooner Zach Seabaugh.
