Welcome to season 24 of The Voice! That’s right, we’ve now experienced two dozen of these things. Two dozen times have we watched the big red chairs turn for a musical extravaganza in which aspiring artists sing their hearts out while major music stars sit around and make fun of each other in an effort to prove why they should be trusted to lead people to victory… but, like, in a fun way. It feels like home!
The Blind Auditions are officially underway, and with 14 spots available on each team, we have a lot of singers to get through. Grab a basket of Reba’s tots and let’s take a look at how the teams are shaking out.

Team Legend
Deejay Young / 33 / Tampa, Fla.
Blind Audition Song: “This Woman’s Work” by Kate Bush
Deejay — who’s been touring with Hamilton — impresses with his falsetto and stage presence, earning turns from John, Gwen, and Reba before landing on the team of one of his musical idols.
Mara Justine / 21 / Galloway, N.J.
Blind Audition Song: “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road” by Elton John
It was a battle to win this confident singer with the big range, but John is able to fend Niall off with an impromptu “All of Me” duet, and he safely brings home a singer he says is “soulful” with “amazing tone.”
Ephraim Owens / 36 / Indianapolis, Ind.
Blind Audition Song: “Beneath Your Beautiful” by Labrinth
John is impressed by both Ephraim’s urgency and passion, as well as his technical skills. Ephraim is a big John Legend fan (and so is his daughter), so it’s a real win-win.
Team Gwen
Joslynn Rose / 16 / Lake Benton, Minn.
Blind Audition Song: “Arcade” by Duncan Laurence
Joslynn has a real Billie Eilish style to her vocals and Gwen is a fan of the teen’s ability to emote — such a fan, in fact, that she throws her shoe at her once Joslynn picks her.
Kristen Brown / 24 / Roseville, Calif.
Blind Audition Song: “Blown Away” by Carrie Underwood
Even Gwen’s surprised that this country singer chooses her over Reba, but Gwen calls her a “diamond in the rough” with an interesting tone — and she’s excited to iron out some of those rougher edges.
Juliette Ojeda / 20 / Miami, Fla.
Blind Audition Song: “Hopelessly Devoted to You” by Olivia Newton John
This audition is a little manic, but the bilingual singer has a lot of potential and Gwen’s excited to help Juliette work on control and stage performance.
Jenna Marquis / 19 / Simi Valley, Calif.
Blind Audition Song: “Teenage Dirtbag” by Wheatus
Jenna picks a surprising but great song for her audition and it shows off several shades of her voice. She can do a lot and Gwen calls it a “dream” to be able to work with someone so young who already has such a distinct musical identity.
Team Niall
Sophia Hoffman / 18 / Chula Vista, Calif.
Blind Audition Song: “Tell Me You Love Me” by Demi Lovato
Sophia auditioned in season 23 but couldn’t nab a spot on a team. This season, with a powerful belt, she gets both Reba and Niall to turn. Niall couldn’t resist the grit under her big vocals.
Alexa Wildish / 34 / Lyons, Colo.
Blind Audition Song: “Songbird” by Fleetwood Mac
Alexa’s ability to emote and some confident vocal choices earn her a four-chair turn. Niall notes some pitch issues, but her storytelling ability and passion make her a strong competitor.
Olivia Minogue / 19 / Lockport, Ill.
Blind Audition Song: “Lay Me Down” by Sam Smith
Olivia shows up wearing a Niall necklace, so this pairing was a foregone conclusion, but Niall hopes to bring out more of the rasp and bluesy-tones Olivia has in her voice.
Julia Roome / 13 / Warwick, N.Y.
Blind Audition Song: “Dream a Little Dream of Me” by Ozzie Nelson and His Orchestra
Julia’s young and has a unique, stylized tone and she reminds Niall of his reigning champ Gina Miles, so why not test out a similar partnership in season 24?
Team Reba
Jordan Rainer / 33 / Nashville, Tenn.
Blind Audition Song: “Fancy” by Bobbie Gentry
Choosing a song made famous by Reba McEntire during her first season as a coach is a big risk, but it turns out Reba’s into Jordan’s version and her Johnny Cash-esque look. The risk pays off with a four-chair turn and spot on the Queen of Country’s team.
Jackson Snelling / 21 / Austin, Ind.
Blind Audition Song: “If Heaven Wasn’t So Far Away” by Justin Moore
Jackson has some pitch issues, but Reba loves his “honest country singing.” She compares his voice to chocolate, which cannot be a bad thing.
Ruby Leigh / 16 / Foley, Mo.
Blind Audition Song: “I Want to Be a Cowboy’s Sweetheart” by Patsy Montana
This teenage yodeler gets all four coaches to turn, but with their shared love for yodeling and country western music, Ruby’s choice to join Team Reba is a no-brainer.
The Voice airs Mondays and Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on NBC.
