Every Blind Audition on The Voice Season 23, Broken Down by Team
Take a look at every Artist on Team Blake, Kelly, Niall, and Chance as the weeks go on.
With The Voice Season 23 officially underway—which also happens to be Blake Shelton's last season—it's time to look at those buzzy Blind Auditions. And if Shelton made anything clear during the season premiere, it's that he won't let us forget this season is his swan song.
“I’ve been wrestling with this for a while, and I’ve decided that it’s time for me to step away from The Voice after Season 23,” Shelton said in an October 2022 statement. “This show has changed my life in every way for the better, and it will always feel like home to me. It’s been a hell of a ride over these 12 years of chair turns, and I want to thank everyone at The Voice from NBC, every producer, the writers, musicians, crew and catering people; you are the best."
For the next three weeks, we'll see a total of six different episodes of Blinds. With each performance, veteran Coaches Shelton and Kelly Clarkson and newbies Niall Horan and Chance the Rapper will build their teams of Artists before the Battles officially begin. To help us keep track of the many talented singers who take the stage this year, we'll be listing them all, below, as the weeks go on. And to make it even simpler, we'll organize each Artist by team. Check back here every Monday and Tuesday during the Blinds for the latest!
