The third week of "The Voice" promised to be challenging for the coaches as it was the last week of the Blind auditions.
The first singer of the night was Jeff Lewis who persuaded the judges at the last moment. Shakira, Usher, and Blake Shelton all turned around at the end. Shelton said he had a lot of respect for him and Shakira said she would be delighted to have him. Usher said that with him he could win easily. Lewis eventually went with Usher because he was an inspiration.
Throughout the night performances were seen by Shawna P who performed with many famous artists but never made it. She eventually picked Shakira who was really excited to have her. Caroline Glaser was next and Shakira and Blake turned around for her. Glazer said she wanted to be a singer-song writer and therefore picked Blake.
Bea sung next and he danced very well but the judges did not turn around for him because they thought he was more concentrated on dance.
Michael Austin, a sheriff, was next to audition and inspired Adam Levine, and Shakira. Shelton did not turn around even though he sang country and Levine made fun of Shelton because of it. Shakira embraced his singing style because she thought he was adventurous like her. However Austin picked Adam.
Sasha Allen gave a stirring performance and had all four coaches turn around for her. Levine said she brought back the joy of music and was magical. Shelton said that she was meant to be with him while Usher expressed she had made a lasting impression on him. Shakira on the other hand said she felt her passion. Sasha thanked them all and ultimately went with Levine.
Matt Cermanski was next but was not chosen by any of the judges because he did not have stability in his voice and needed more work.
Jamila Thompson was Usher's next pick while Amy Whitcomb was chosen by Levine. Justin Rivers and Michelle Raitman were then picked by Shelton.
Mary Miranda was next and sang in Spanish. Blake, Usher and Shakira turned around for her but Miranda went with Shakira because of her Latin heritage.
Grace Askew was next and chose Blake regardless of the fact that Shakira turned around for her. Jane Smith then performed but had no one turn around for her. Others not chosen included Dakota O'Driscoll, and Brandon Diaz.
Ryan Innes was the last performer of the night and energized the auditorium. He also made all four coaches turn around. Innes had a hard time picking but ultimately went for Usher because he sang Soul music.
At the end of the night Levine picked up three artists while Blake landed four. Shakira picked up two while Usher chose three. Usher and Shakira have one more slot in their teams while Shelton and Levine have two more.
The final day of the blind auditions will be aired on Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET.
