Season 24 Blind Auditions Conclude with Stellar Performances on The Voice
Spoiler alert! This story discusses the final night of Blind Auditions on The Voice Season 24, which aired October 16.
The Blind Auditions for Season 24 of The Voice have come to an end, and the competition is fierce. Coaches Gwen Stefani, Reba McEntire, John Legend, and Niall Horan have finalized their teams, with each coach selecting 14 talented singers. The level of talent this season is exceptional, as 20 out of the 56 contestants received a four-chair turn from all four superstar coaches. While John Legend dominated the four-chair turns, it is Team Reba that stands out for its unique approach.
John Legend Is The Undisputed King Of The Four-Chair Turn
There is no denying the remarkable success of John Legend in securing highly sought-after artists. The concept of a four-chair turn is a significant moment on The Voice, as it indicates that all four coaches have expressed their interest in working with a particular auditioner. This empowers the artist to choose their ideal mentor. The assumption is that if an artist appeals to a diverse range of genres and demographics represented by the coaching panel, they will also resonate with the wider audience.
Season 24 of The Voice has witnessed an unprecedented 20 four-chair turns, which is remarkable compared to previous seasons. For context, Season 23 had six, Season 22 had 10, and Season 21 had seven. Surprisingly, John Legend alone accounts for more than half of the total four-chair turns this season, surpassing the combined number achieved by Reba McEntire, Niall Horan, and Gwen Stefani, who each secured four such artists.
Reba McEntire Is The Undisputed Queen Of The One-Chair Turn
What makes Reba McEntire’s team intriguing is not the number of four-chair turns, but rather the number of one-chair turns. Out of her 14 team members, six landed a spot on The Voice solely based on Reba McEntire’s belief in their potential. One-chair turns face a more challenging road, as only one coach expressed interest during their audition. Additionally, they have no say in which team they join, as they are automatically placed with the coach who turned for them.
Until the final night of Blind Auditions, Reba McEntire was the only coach to have any one-chair turns. While Gwen Stefani had two one-chair turns as the teams were filling up, other coaches claimed they would have turned if they had the opportunity. Reba McEntire’s unique approach indicates that she was looking for something different compared to the other coaches.
Considering the high number of four-chair turns this season, Reba McEntire’s selections provide an exciting opportunity to showcase something truly unique and unexpected in the upcoming rounds of the competition.
The Voice will continue with the Battles when Season 24 resumes at 9 p.m. ET on Tuesday, October 17 on NBC. Stay tuned and catch all the latest premieres with our 2023 TV schedule.
