The Blind Auditions on “The Voice” season 29 are complete. We are now moving on to the Battle Rounds, as these hopeful singers on “The Voice” 2026 battle it out to remain in the competition. While we didn’t see full clips of everyone who made it to the Voice Battles, we’re going to take a look at these hopefuls and do some power rankings and the top 10 singers heading into the Battle Rounds on “The Voice” 2026.
1. Syd Millevoi – Team Legend
For her audition, she sang “Mamma Knows Best” by Jesse J. Yeah, within seconds of the performance, Adam and John were hitting their buttons. Kelly was sitting there, shocked by the performance, and jealous that she couldn’t turn around (her team was full by this time). Syd shows off so much range on this one. So much energy, and it was so good. I truly think she was the best audition this season.
2. Jared Shoemaker – Team Adam
Adam was the only coach left that need to fill a spot on his team, so he got that country artist without a fight. For his audition, Jared sang “I Never Lie” by Zach Top. He has such a strong country voice. Some of those notes he hit along the way are so good. He was just so calm and collected up there.
3. Hunter Jordan – Team Adam
For his audition, he sang “Let Me Down Easy” by Billy Currington. He is a good-looking fella with a very good country voice. He has a strong stage presence. This was a Triple Turn battle, as all three coaches hit their buttons for Hunter. Even though Hunter talked about Kelly being his favorite, he said he wanted to blaze a different path and chose to join Team Adam.
4. Jeremy Keith – Team Adam
He started singing for the R&B group After 7 as a backup last year. One of the leads dropped out, so they asked him to take over. Now he is here on “The Voice” season 29 to prove himself as a solo artist. He definitely has that R&B vibe and tone to his voice. He is so strong and such a solid singer. Jeremy has a strong stage presence, and I like him.
5. Drew Russell – Team Adam
Team Adam is killing it on the board, huh? For her audition, Drew performed “Blue Bayou” by Linda Ronstadt. This is an old song, but she sounds great on it. It’s almost bluesy/country, but she sounds good on it. I think she has a strong voice and hits some big notes along the way.
6. Jonah Mayor – Team Kelly
Team Kelly finally makes the Power Rankings board. Jonah currently sings with a boy band parody-type group. They sing a bunch of boy band songs, but he did not sing a boy band song for his audition. He is going big, as he sings the Italian song “Il Mondo” by Jimmy Fontana. Kelly turns around right away for him, and she gets up out of her seat and enjoys the show. Adam joins her later on for this stellar performance. His voice is big and strong.
7. Mike Steele – Team Legend
We have another artist representing Team Legend on the board. For his audition, Mike sang “For Tonight” by Giveon. It starts a little rough for me, but he worked that out. His voice is very good, and he has that R&B vibe about him. He gets all three coaches to turn for him, so another Triple Turn!
8. Alexia Jayy – Team Adam
Alexia was the first Triple Turn of the season. She got emotional during the pre-video, saying this is for her son. He has seen her start and stop, but she has never given up. Now she is here on “The Voice,” singing “A Natural Woman” by Aretha Franklin. Yes, she SINGS this one, and you can see how proud her son is backstage. She has such a strong, powerful, and soulful voice. Her son came out and said he listens to Maroon 5, so maybe that influenced her decision.
9. Blaire Elbert – Team Kelly
Blaire has been singing since she was 5 years old. She was part of a girl group called Cactus Girls. However, they parted ways, and she’s been pursuing her solo music career. For her audition, she sings “Wide Rollin’ Plains.” She doesn’t get much action, but then she starts yodeling and gets Kelly to turn for her. No one else turns for her. I think the yodeling will set her apart and maybe keep her in the competition longer.
10. JW Griffin – Team Kelly
JW Griffin delivers bread for his job. Lots of bread puns. His passion isn’t delivering bread, but it’s delivering music. For his audition, he sang “Long Haired Country Boy” by Charlie Daniels. And yes, this is a country boy. He has such a solid voice and sounds good on this one. It was another Triple Turn, this time won by Kelly.
Who do you think are the best singers heading into the Battle Rounds on “The Voice” season 29?
