After weeks of fierce competition, The Voice Season 27 has finally reached the last night of Blind Auditions. The coaches—John Legend, Adam Levine, Michael Bublé, and Kelsea Ballerini—have just a few spots left, making this one of the most dramatic nights of the season. With so few open slots, talented singers might not make it through, not because they lack skill, but simply due to bad timing.
Imagine stepping onto the stage for the audition of a lifetime, only to find out that your opportunity is even slimmer because the producers placed you on the very last night. The pressure is unreal!
Good thing the coaches are famous for saying, “Come back and audition.” But let’s be honest, putting yourself through the emotional rollercoaster of public rejection and high-stakes competition all over again isn’t exactly easy.
Not to mention, there’s no guarantee it will go any better the next time around. Some of the best talents are left in the dust simply because of timing. But, as John Legend optimistically says, “Sometimes I find my best people on the last day of Blinds.” Will that be the case tonight?
At one point in the evening, the coaches’ chairs actually get stuck while turning back to their original position. Call it karma for letting talented singers slip through the cracks due to the roster limit! But hey, that’s the game. Games aren’t always fair. And if nothing else, it gives the fans—and me—more to complain about!
After weeks of auditions, The Voice Season 27 wraps up the Blind Auditions in spectacular fashion. The tension is high, the competition is fierce, and the final contestants are giving it their all. Who will secure the remaining spots in the Top 48 and advance to the next round? Let’s explore the excitement of the final night of auditions.

John Legend Finds the Ammo To Win The Voice
We begin our final night with a performance from Jay Ammo. This guy has done it all—he’s had an assortment of jobs after his time in the military, and now he’s hoping to make singing his full-time gig. Originally from Guyana, Jay currently lives in Tennessee.
Fun fact: His last name isn’t actually Ammo. He tweaked his real surname because no one could ever pronounce it. Honestly? Smart move. It also happens to fit his military background perfectly.
For his audition, Jay performs “The A Team” by Ed Sheeran, and wow—this is the purest form of the song we’ve ever heard. It’s delicate, his tone is pristine, and he completely makes it his own. Move over, Ed—this is the rendition we deserve! The coaches hesitate for a moment, but then Michael Bublé makes the final move, locking in a four-chair turn.
At this point, the coaches are pulling out all the stops to get Jay on their team. John Legend tells him his voice “floats.” Adam Levine calls it “ethereal and singular.” They get him. But after teasing us all night that “the best people come on the last day,” Jay proves the prophecy true by joining Team Legend. A huge win for John!
Pablo Herrera’s Emotional Performance Secures the Last Spot on Team Legend
Pablo Herrera hails from sunny San Diego, where—according to him—the weather is always perfect. Growing up, he learned music from his sister, singing in church and harmonizing with his family. Now, he’s passing that love for music down to his two sons.
For his audition, Pablo chooses “Jealous” by Labrinth. The song hits close to home, reminding him of his separation from his wife, with whom he co-parents his children. His performance is packed with raw emotion, vulnerability, and vocal purity. It’s a deeply personal, soul-stirring rendition that earns three chair turns from everyone except Adam Levine.
Each coach fights hard for him, making compelling pitches about why he belongs on their team. But in the end, the EGOT winner secures another win—Pablo selects John Legend, officially filling up his team!
The Battle Between Bublé and Ballerini Continues
Brook Wood may sound like your quintessential country diva, but this Indianapolis native actually resides in Queens. Her father was a lead guitarist for a country band, and she followed in his footsteps, touring the country with a rock-and-roll show.
The most touching part? She says the only time she ever saw her dad cry was when he watched her perform. Sadly, she lost him in 2021, so tonight’s performance is in his honor.
She takes on “Save Me” by Jelly Roll, giving it a bluesy, doo-wop-infused spin. Her voice is powerful, but it doesn’t necessarily fit the mainstream country sound. Still, Kelsea Ballerini notices the rock and rasp in her voice and sees the potential. She pitches hard, even joking that unlike John Legend, she has lost Grammys—and would really like to win something for a change. Reverse psychology? Maybe. But it works! Brook joins Team Ballerini.
The Night’s Youngest Standout Joins Team Kelsea
At just 20 years old, Simone Marijic is a music and history student at the University of Virginia. Though her Croatian immigrant parents jokingly hoped she’d pursue medicine, Simone’s heart has always been in music.
For her audition, she sings “Favorite Crime” by Olivia Rodrigo, and she sounds exactly like the pop star. Kelsea Ballerini immediately slams her button, probably half-hoping it’s Olivia herself trolling them. But just as Kelsea starts celebrating, Michael Bublé turns at the last second, reigniting the ongoing Bublé-Ballerini battle.
Simone ultimately goes with Kelsea, adding another young talent to her team.
Michael Bublé Rounds Out His Roster
Next up is Adam David, a gigging musician from Fort Lauderdale who has been playing guitar and singing since he was eight. His journey hasn’t been easy—he battled addiction but found hope and healing through music. Now, he plays at recovery centers, helping others find the same light that saved him.
For his audition, he chooses “Baby, I Love Your Way” by Peter Frampton. It’s a safe choice, but his experience shines through. Michael Bublé turns for him, securing him as a last-minute addition to his team.
Then, we meet Naomi Soleil, an 18-year-old from Maplewood, New Jersey, who describes her voice as having a “unique timbre.” She sings “Stars” by Grace Potter, a big, ambitious song that showcases her potential. Michael Bublé and Adam Levine both turn, but she ultimately chooses Team Bublé, rounding out his team.
Adam Levine Finally Lands a Country Singer
The final Blind Audition of Season 27 belongs to Trevor Dawson, a 17-year-old country singer from Atlanta. Growing up, he lived in a camper due to his father’s job, sharing a room with his sister. Now, he’s hoping to break into the music industry and change his life.
Trevor sings “Religiously” by Bailey Zimmerman. It’s a little rough around the edges, but Adam Levine has been dying for a country artist on his team. And since no one else turns, Trevor automatically joins Team Adam.
It may not be the most impressive audition of the night, but it allows Adam to finally live out his country-singer dreams—without competition from Kelsea.
Final Thoughts: Who Has the Strongest Team?
Now that the Top 48 is set, the teams are looking interesting.
- Team Kelsea is stacked with powerful female voices.
- Team Adam has some dark horses that could surprise us.
- Team Legend is full of soul and emotion.
- Team Bublé has the most diverse lineup, giving him an edge in the competition.
History suggests that Bublé’s team could be the strongest, simply because his singers won’t compete against each other in the same genre. But in The Voice, anything can happen.
With the Blind Auditions officially behind us, it’s time for the Battles. The next phase of The Voice is about to bring more surprises, heartbreaks, and—hopefully—some legendary performances. Let the real competition begin!
Conclusion: The Battle Begins
With the Blind Auditions officially wrapped, the competition is heating up. Each coach has carefully built their roster, assembling teams that reflect their individual strengths, styles, and strategies.
Now, with the Battles ahead, the real challenge begins—not just for the contestants but also for the coaches. They must shape their singers into stronger, more confident performers while making tough decisions about who stays and who goes.
Looking at the teams, it’s clear that each has its unique strengths. Kelsea Ballerini has a female-dominated team full of fresh talent, Adam Levine has finally landed his long-awaited country singer, John Legend boasts some of the most soulful vocalists, and Michael Bublé arguably has the most diverse lineup.
While some contestants stood out as clear frontrunners, others will need to prove themselves in the next rounds to avoid elimination.
Now, the real question is: Who will rise to the occasion? Who will surprise us? And most importantly, who will survive the Battles and move closer to The Voice crown? One thing’s for sure—the competition is just getting started. Buckle up, because things are about to get intense!
The Voice continues Mondays on NBC, with streaming available on Peacock.
