The Voice 2018: Team Standings 2/27/18

The Voice returned last night with its season 14 premiere. Blake and Adam are back once again, and this year, they're joined by Alicia Keys and Kelly Clarkson for the first time. Last night was full of impressive performances that indicate a strong season ahead. What team did each singer choose?

Here's the team standings so far:


Team Blake

Kyla Jade (33, Nashville, Tennessee)

Kyla has been singing backup vocals for Jennifer Hudson for the past three years and now she's ready to take on a solo gig. She sang Aretha Franklin, which Kelly and Blake both loved. In the end, Kyla went with Blake.

Kaleb Lee (31, Florida)

Kaleb Lee sang "Never Wanted Nothing More" by Kenny Chesney. The country singer is a father of three who's been in the corporate world for the last seven years but is pursuing his dreams once again now that his kids are a bit older.

Team Adam

Rayshun LaMarr (33, Maryland)

Rayshun has overcome a lot to get to The Voice stage. Five years ago, he won his battle with cancer, and now he's ready to live out his dream.

Adam's already come up with his hashtag: #RayshunNation.

Drew Cole (25, LA)

For his blind audition, Drew sang, "Sex and Candy." Drew, with his long locks and really hilarious viral video of him serenading a friend's dog, is bound to go far.

Team Kelly

Brynn Cartelli, (14, Massachusetts)

Brynn is just 14, which shocks everyone because of her poise and maturity. Adam may have put it best when he said, "You sound like a 36-year-old who's been through it."

Brynn was the first person that Kelly ever turned her chair for. She admits that she's been a huge fan of Kelly for a very long time, and ends up choosing her as her coach.

D.R. King

D.R. King sang "Believer" by Imagine Dragons.

He doesn't offer up too much about himself, except for the fact that he used to be a teacher, but he has an interesting sound that could take him very far with the right songs.

Team Alicia

Britton Buchanan (17, North Carolina)

Britton was one of the younger contestants of the night, but he definitely got off to the right start. Blake, Adam, and Alicia turned their chair for the young singer, and he ended up choosing Alicia.

Kelsea Johnson (21, Delaware)

Kelsea is just 21 and sang beautifully. Adam and Kelly both fought very hard for her, but in the end, the singer chose Alisha.

Justin Kilgore (30, Texas)

Justin was an exciting one. Alicia blocked Blake from choosing Justin, meaning it came down to Alicia, Kelly, and Adam. Alicia told Justin that he moved her spirit, and he eventually went with her.

Justin reveals that his voice is what helped him discover his true self, and allowed him to come out as an openly gay man.

GOP Commentator Ripped After Claiming Trump Is 'Standing Up' For 'Jewish Kids' With Harvard Funding Freeze

GOP strategist and CNN commentator Scott Jennings was criticized for hypocrisy by fellow panelist Jay Michaelson after claiming that President Donald Trump is "standing up" for Jewish students and combating antisemitism in ordering a funding freeze for Harvard University.

Since returning to office, Trump has made reshaping higher education a priority, threatening to pull federal research funding unless universities fall in line. His administration’s new rules—set to take effect by August 2025—target everything from DEI programs to international student admissions, while demanding “viewpoint” diversity and threatening to shut down noncompliant departments.

Nature is truly amazing.

When a 5.2-magnitude earthquake shook Southern California on Monday, humans braced themselves with the grade school-taught drill to "drop, cover, and hold on."

Idaho Rally Erupts In Cheers After AOC Epically Blasts 'Criminal' Trump In Blistering Speech

Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez condemned President Donald Trump at a rally in Nampa, Idaho, calling him a “criminal,” a liar, and a “rapist,” and reiterated her earlier statements that some members of Congress might have participated in insider trading after it was revealed that NASDAQ call volume spiked just minutes before Trump's tariffs pause announcement.

Ocasio-Cortez, who spoke alongside Vermont Independent Senator Bernie Sanders, stressed that the pause was "all about manipulating the markets so that he could quietly enrich his friends who bought the dip before reversing it all in the morning."
