You know, like they did back in the day when the show began.
When reality television’s favorite bromance was formed.
Another season, another new era.

It’s time to see if this new dynamic will hold a candle to the magic of Season 26!
Our new quartet takes to the stage for a group performance of “Tiny Dancer” byElton John.
Thankfully, we have four exceptional voices that illuminate the classic.
Here’s hoping this is a precursor to the dynamic we’ll have this season.
Michael Buble is moving over a spot where John Legend is now occupying.
So perhaps that’s good luck for the rookie!
So, why musical chairs?
No idea, but at least we had a bit!
Anyway, let’s get the first round of Blind Auditions underway!
Oh, and remember the Coaches Replay Button?
She’s back baby!
It’s time to spin!
Adam’s Back!
It all begins with a twang.
To kick off Season 27 isGrace-Miller Moody, a young 20-year-old from Florence, South Carolina.
She is your typical Southern Belle.
Yeah, I had my money on Kelsea Ballerini, but hey, Adam is the OG here.
Let’s make him feel welcome.
Her vocals are unique.
Nevertheless, she earns the season’s first chair turn and a standing ovation.
To do so, Kelsea has her chair equipped with some sound bite backup via the voice ofBlake Shelton.
The bromance is reunited!
That’s a major power move, country star!
The photo montage showcases his flair for the flamboyant, but it fits perfectly with his effervescent personality.
Darius J reveals that he came out when he was 13, which led to bullying.
But the bullying subsided when he sang.
It is his escape from horrible situations.
Now, sparkling in his sparkling matching top and bottom, Darius J simply dazzles.
Taking on a Latin acoustic version ofUsher’s “Caught Up,” he is a light on stage.
As soon as each coach turns, they see the passion and charisma, dancing along in their chairs.
Kelsea even bops on up out of hers.
His flip of the track endures him to the coaches, but he ultimately selects Adam.
Part of the joy ofThe Voiceis the Blind Audition.
As they say, looks can be deceiving.
When you look atEthan Eckenroad, you would never imagine what you’re about to hear.
Nearly immediately, Adam and Kelsea slam their button for this special performance.
Eckenroad ultimately earns a four-chair turn.
John Legend brings in reinforcements in hopes of winning here.
Welcome the sign spinner.
So, was it enough?
In the end, Eckenroad opts to put his fate in the hands of the OG.
Adam Levine’s return toThe Voiceis pretty strong!
With very little time between auditions, Iris hopes her new vibe will bring a different result.
Instead ofStevie Nicks, Iris tackles “You Are My Sunshine.”
The American Standard is beloved, so what can she do to reinvent a classic?
With everyone but Adam turning, Iris is ecstatic to have a second chance.
It’s a smart choice from Iris.
And now, she has her own pair of Tecovas.
I’m not jealous, you are!
Angie Reykicks off her video package by speaking in Spanish before revealing she is a country music singer.
She felt that country music was in her soul after attending aLady Aconcert.
Now, she’s here at The Voice to forge her own path.
The first-generation American is the daughter of two Cuban parents.
She is the epitome of the American Dream.
For her Blind Audition, she takes a big risk by performing “Penthouse” by the rookie coach.
Her goal is to earn a turn from Kelsea herself.
Kelsea is so gagged to hear her song that she is the first to turn.
And the moment she does, Angie’s entire performance opens up.
To celebrate their unity, Kelsea gets on stage to duet with her second singer on her roster.
Their harmonies are what dreams are made of.
Keep an eye on this dynamic duo.

His ability to smash the high falsetto is perfect for the track.
His inspirational performance earns a turn from Buble and John Legend, but wait.
Here, the rookie has said, move over boys, I regret not turning!
Now, she is in the fight to earn Kiernan for her team.
It’s a shocking move, but the risk is worth the reward.
Kiernan goes with Kelsea.
The whoopsie pays off!
Michael Buble Is Ready to Repeat
We’ve got a legacy in the house!
Only two seasons ago,Bryan Olesenwas a finalist for Team Legend.
Now, his daughter,Jadyn Cree, is trying to surpass her father’s success with a win.
The first obstacle is to get a chair to turn.

History may repeat itself as Cree has great potential.
The Canadian may already have a chance to repeat!
Speaking of repeats, the Buble signature hockey jersey is back.
Starting in the dark, a skilled vocalist tacklesRichard Marx’s “Right Here Waiting.”

Dare I say, he’s feeling good?
One mentor is giving future coach vibes!

His range works effortlessly.

Next up isLilli Doll.
True story, it’s her real name.
And, aside from singing, the girl with a punk aura makes jewelry and lighter covers.
She really leans into her persona!
With classic rock in her blood, she takes on “Heart of Glass” byBlondiefor her audition.
It’s a very particular song meant for a very particular tone.
She starts out at 100, which prevents her from quite growing as the song builds.
Sadly, it’s not her time, as no coach turns.
She brings Nashville to the boys with their very own cowboy hat.
Her presence is beyond welcome on this show.
