Ep 1. The Blind Auditions Season Premiere

The Voice (US) season 15 episode 1 is entitled "The Blind Auditions Season Premiere," and it marks the beginning of another season of one of the most popular singing competitions on television. The episode kicks off with a montage of all the coaches, Blake Shelton, Adam Levine, Jennifer Hudson, and Kelly Clarkson, stating why they're excited about this new season and why they're hoping to find the next big superstar.

The Blind Auditions are the first stage of the competition, where the coaches are seated with their backs to the stage and can't see the contestants who are trying out. The contestants perform a song, and if a coach likes what they hear, they hit a button that turns their chair around, indicating that they want to work with that performer. If more than one coach turns their chair, the contestant is given the power to choose which coach they want to work with.

The episode introduces us to a range of talented performers, including a 13-year-old girl named Kennedy Holmes, who wows the coaches with her incredible rendition of Adele's "Turning Tables." Other notable contestants include a man named Tyshawn Colquitt, who sings Marvin Gaye's "Ain't No Mountain High Enough," and a woman named Lynnea Moorer, who performs Julia Michaels' "Issues." All of the performers are hoping to impress the coaches enough to get their attention and make it to the next stage of the competition.

Throughout the episode, we get to see the camaraderie and competitive spirit between the coaches. Adam and Blake take jabs at each other, while Jennifer and Kelly bond over being the only two female coaches this season. Adam and Kelly both try to convince an impressive singer named Funsho to join their teams, leading to a bit of a showdown between the two.

While the coaches are the ones who ultimately have the power to choose which contestants they want to work with, we also get to see the support and encouragement that they offer to those who don't make it past the Blind Auditions. For some contestants, getting a chair to turn around and earning the praise of famous recording artists is enough to make them feel like they've accomplished something big.

Overall, the episode is a fun and exciting start to what promises to be another great season of The Voice. We get to see a range of talented singers, as well as the personalities of the coaches who will be mentoring and guiding these performers throughout the competition. It's a great way to get excited about the season and to start rooting for your favorite contestants.
