Gwen Stefani uses her Coach Replay ability

The season’s youngest contestant, Jaylen Dunham, covered Beyoncé’s soul-R&B song “Listen” for his blind audition.

Stefani was concerned about not pushing her button, especially because of the tremendous talent he showed at 14 years old and the potential she felt was bubbling beneath the surface within him. “You have this feeling of regret; That’s what it’s for,” Stefani said of the Coach Replay performance she used with Dunham.

Underdog story of the season

The voice The singer saved the biggest wow factor until the end, ending the two-hour segment with Frankie Torres, who showcased her powerful vocals and undeniable stage presence. The thought of having them on their respective teams made all four coaches feel bad.

Torres’ strong rock tone during her cover of Heart’s “Magic Man” stunned Stefani, who said the performance “got better and better” as time went on. But the No Doubt singer had tough competition: Bublé, Snoop and McEntire all delivered their best performances. Ultimately, it didn’t matter as Torres chose Stefani, one of her childhood idols, as her coach.

Quote of the evening

“I can’t wait to steal it!” McEntire exclaimed after Beloate decided to be on Bublé’s team.

The Agree The twist, which only comes into play later in the season, was clearly not on Bublé’s mind as he suddenly expressed concern about the possibility of losing Beloate down the line: “I didn’t even think about that! How can you even prevent this?”
