\n\tAnd just like that, the auditions are done and the battles have begun.<\/p>\n

\n\tTuesday night\u2019s episode of NBC\u2019s The Voice<\/em> saw team leaders Kelly Clarkson, Adam Levine, Queen Latifah, and Riley Green complete their rosters as the Blind Auditions came to an end.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe turns came in a flurry as each of Green, Levine, and Clarkson had two spots to fill, and Latifah had one to give.<\/p>\n

\n\tGoing first was\u00a0Lillie Kolich, a 25-year-old New Mexico native who covered Sombr\u2019s \u201cBack to Friends.\u201d Latifah spoke the quiet words out loud with an enthusiastic \u201cI like it.\u201d Perhaps she didn\u2019t like it as much as Clarkson, Levine, and Green who turned almost simultaneously. Latifah hit her buzzer late, giving Kolich a four-chair turn.<\/p>\n

\n\tRaised in Albuquerque, Kolich is now based in Nashville and \u201cpretty much fulltime songwriting,\u201d she told the coaches.<\/p>\n

\n\tWith her cool, stripped-back performance, Kolich put herself in the box seat as Clarkson, Levine and Green unfurled their best sales pitches. \u201cI heard a storyteller,\u201d Green remarked. \u201cAnd all I want to do is help you tell that story.\u201d Kolich even hangs out in Green\u2019s bar, so there\u2019s that.<\/p>\n

\n\tClarkson was equally impressed. \u201cDude, you\u2019re rad. Your tone\u2026sombr is like one of my favorite artists to be listening to right now. That one I never even thought about being into that vibe.\u201d Even better, \u201cwhy don\u2019t we sing it together,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

\n\tLevine tried a different approach. \u201cI\u2019m awesome.\u201d He went on to praise the contestant\u2019s choice of song and cascading talents. \u201cThe coolest thing about your voice is that in the beginning it had a bit of a softer presence and I loved that. But then I heard you open up more and realized, wow, there\u2019s a lot more dynamic in your voice. All these layers came out\u2026I\u2019m going to be honest, I think it\u2019s going to be tricky to have a voice like yours and win this competition.\u201d But he can get her there, he reckons.<\/p>\n

\n\tLatifah turned last, spoke last. Laughed last. \u201cIf you\u2019re able to do that,\u201d she remarked on how Lillie turned a current smash into something of her own, \u201cyou\u2019re able to do anything. You\u2019re able to win this show.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the end, Lillie had a choice to make. That was The Queen, Latifah.<\/p>\n

\n\tWithout any time wastage, producers called the start of the Battle Rounds. Green was forced to make an early, tough decision, when he paired up Nashville baker Brandy Neelly with sisters Ferryn and Brinkley. <\/p>\n

\n\tGrammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Carly Pearce stepped in as Battle advisor, as the contestants faced off with Miranda Lambert \u201cMama\u2019s Broken Heart.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the end, Green went with the sisters Ferryn and Brinkley, who advance to Cut Week. Neelly wasn\u2019t given a lifeline by the other coaches.<\/p>\n

The Voice<\/em> is currently in its milestone 30th season, with episodes airing Mondays and Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET on NBC, streaming next day on Peacock. Battle performances continue Monday, Oct. 12.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
