'The Voice' Recap: Third Day of Blind Auditions Brings a Former Boy Band Member to the Stage
The self-proclaimed "Lady Gaga of China" also tries to impress the coaches.
NBC added a third day to The Voice’s premiere week to give fans an added night of blind auditions. The third night – which, probably not coincidentally, aired at the same time as the premiere of Fox’s The X Factor – brought to the stage a former boy band member and a mother-daughter duo.
The coaches -- Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton—continue to add to their teams, which will total 16 members each by the end of the blind auditions.
