'The Voice' Season 4 Recap: Jacqui Sandell, Judith Hill, Monique Abbadie, Michelle Chamuel, And Other Contestants To Join Judges' Teams [VIDEO]
The final selections have been made for the aspiring singers to partner with judges of The Voice.
Blake Shelton was the first of the judges to fill his 12 spots, adding Jacqui Sandell, whom he had called a “touch-chick,” and telling her she sounded “very sexy.” Shelton also chose the Morgan Twins, Savannah Berry and 16-year-old Danielle Bradbury. He also took in Christian Porter, the only guy, with his unique choice of Sexy And I Know It.
Adam Levine was chosen by Amber Carrington, who sang Carried Underwood’s Good Girl. Levine had gotten excited because he said there was “so much untapped talent to be unlocked” for the contestant who had never sang professionally. He also included Judith Hill, who was Michael Jackson’s duet partnet, hipster Midas Whale, Karina Iglesias, a bilingual rocker, Patrick Dodd and Sasha Allen.
Shakira took in 24-year-old North Carolina native Luke Edgemon, who had been the only white boy in a gospel church choir. He sang Bonnie Raitt's I Can't Make You Love Me and had both Shakira and Usher competing for his attention.
Team Shakira had the most Spanish-speaking singers with Cathia, Mary Miranda and Monique Abbadie. But she also took it artists like Kris Thomas and Shawna P.
When 26-year-old Cali girl Jessica Childress took the stage, Usher enthusiatically chose her to be on his team, with all the spots of the other judges filled. Childress recently quit her job to pursue her dream and she belted out Bruno Mars' Marry You.
Usher will also be working with 26-year-old self-proclaimed "geek" Michelle Chamuel, from Amherst, Massachusetts; Joe Cocker-esque Ryan Innes; and 19-year-old Atlanta native Vedo, whose mother has terminal cancer.
