NBC's hit reality TV show that showcases fresh new singers all across the United States, The Voice, is back for its 9th season with coaches Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, Gwen Stefani and Pharrell Williams.
E! Online reported that the season premiere lasted for two hours and it was all worth it because of the many amazing vocals that America just discovered this time.
It started really great with a four-chair turner Mark Hood, 24, from Chicago and he is a son of a preacher. Adam and Pharrell were the first ones to notice his voice and he almost fell off the stage after Gwen and Blake turned for him as well.
One of the crowd's favorites was Kota Wade, 23, from Los Angeles and she is already kind of a rockstar even before this show. Thanks to her parents who are very supportive of her career, they even opened a venue for their child to literally rock out. She picked Gwen to be her coach after the blind audition.
The youngest that night went to Sianha Im who is 15, but her voice sounds way more mature for her age. It was a bit awkward for a fifteen-year-old to sing the words of the song "Fever," but she has the chops to make it and she did. She chose Pharrell and it is looking like she is a promising act in the future.
As the show returns, of course the issues about the split of Gwen Stefani with her husband and Blake Shelton with his wife recently was kind of a silent drama that everybody would want to get a piece of in the show. Fortunately, the coaches remained professional and they didn't let their personal matters get in the way of their jobs.
The artists that they have picked this season were even noticed by Billboard. Looks like it is about to be huge.
