Reagan Strange – 13 – Memphis TN – Meant To Be by Bebe Rexha –  Oh. I see after 15 seasons the show is going with the "I've been watching The Voice since I was a wee little kid" angle-which is actually a thing American Idol does. Hm. She's hoping Blake turns. She loves the way he points at himself. "I love the show so much, actually being here is an amazing thing," Reagan cries. She has a pretty tone, effortless range, lovely head voice. She'll be terrific in a few years. Adam is the first to turn. She's hitting some big notes when Blake FINALLY turns. Adam compares her to Danielle Bradbery. which is actually an apt comparison. Reagan describes herself as a "soul/pop ballad" singer. Blake points out that he won with singers across genres. Adam resorts to begging. But despite all the pointy pointing, Reagan Chooses Adam. Reagan's dad suggested she choose Adam, so she did. 

Fousheé – 28 – Harlem NY – Redbone by Childish Gambino – She plays in the house band at the famous Cafe Wa? Her mother was in an all girls reggae band in Jamaica. She and her mother were in a car accident. Hit by a drunk driver and her mother suffered intense head injuries. She's got a very cool vibe. Jennifer hits her button first. Even before she hit that big whistle note. Adam turned after that. Very musical, interesting and unique performance. She's got tons of charisma too. Adam calls that high note her "outer space note." Jennifer admits she herself can't hit those high notes. And she wasn't sure she was listening to a boy or a girl. Foushee Chooses Adam. I'm a little surprised.  She says she connects to his music "and him as an artist." 

Blake does a bit where he mocks Kelly's bling by wearing a great big necklace that says "I'm the most loved person here." Kelly calls him a country flavor flav. Ha.

Wyatt Rivers – 22 – Durham NC – River by Leon Bridges  – He's headed to Tulane school of medicine and a Duke graduate. OK so he's super smart. He's always done music, but it wasn't until college that he began writing. When he mentions the "good lord" in his song, he gets a big hand. Still, the coaches aren't turning. Because this is a pretty boring performance. No charisma. I had a feeling when he talked about his pursuit of a medical career that music was kind a sideline. He's another contestant who doesn't understand that a performance needs "big moments" to get a turn.  Kelly said he could be a movie star he's so handsome. "I think you should act!" she says. Blake said he was pitchy on his bigger notes. – No Turn

OH BUT LUCKY FOR WYATT. He is on Kelsea Ballerini's Comeback Team. The first male member of the team. 

Chris Kroeze – 27 – Barron WI – Pride and Joy by Stevie Ray Vaughn – Where he grew up is the epitome of small town America.  He and his grandparents graduated from the same high school, and he is raising his kids there. His first trip on an airplane was to entertain troops in the middle east..  Blues riffs on an acoustic guitar accompany his raspy, energetic vocal. Jennifer and Blake turn.  That was an entertaining performance. Adam thought he might be a female? I didn't get that at all. Jennifer admits she almost threw her shoe. Blake calls his singing "electrifying." Chris Chooses Blake. Probably a good match up. 

MaKenzie Thomas – 20 – Wallingford KY – Big White Room by Jessie J – She's a returnee from season 14. The coaches were close to turning. They suggested she come back. And she did. Since the show, she's been singing with a gospel group Elevated Praise.  Her vocal is more controlled this time around. She inserts some nice tasteful runs in there. Jennifer turns. She's the only one. Notably, she wasn't on the panel last season. Kelly recognizes her immediately. Adam says her improvement was "tremendous." MaKenzie and Jennifer have gospel roots in common, so this should be a good collaboration. Only Jennifer Turns

SandyRedd – 35 – Chicago IL – River by Bishop Briggs – She has 7 brothers and sisters. Her mother was an amazing vocalist–they were all her background singers. At 17 she had a son. Her mother passed away after her youngest son was born. That encouraged her to begin singing again. She also started a performing arts school for kids. This is an interesting song choice. She's a contemporary Tina Turner. Soulful with a bold rock streak. Good stuff. Jennifer turns first, but then eventually all four chairs are turned. Jennifer tosses her shoe on stage. And then another one. Ha. Then Kelly's jacket. And Adam's shoes and Blake's coffee cup. Kelly is speechless. Blake figures he has no chance. Jennifer wants to meet her family, so they all trot out on stage. "You are like fire," Kelly says. She notes how versatile her sound is. She can help her! Amd Sandy Chooses Kelly! Kelly is shocked. "I can't believe she picked me!" You'd think she's go with the fellow Chicago girl. She was impressed when Kelly said, "I don't care which team you go with, I just want to see you win."
