Returning Contestant Jake Worthington Lands Spot on #TeamBlake With ‘Don’t Close Your Eyes’ – The Voice Premiere Recap [VIDEOS]
If at first you don't succeed, try again. Jake Worthington returned to 'The Voice' after not making a team last season. This time, he had three coaches fighting to have him on their team after his beautiful rendition of the country classic 'Don't Close Your Eyes.' Wisely, Jake chose to go with Blake Shelton.
I feel so blessed it's time to rock n roll joe! @blakeshelton thank you for this oppurtunity!

Jake was the only member to make #TeamBlake during 'The Voice' premiere. Shelton fought for the powerhouse singers, but continued to lose out to the other coaches.
Bria Kelly
Bria Kelly closed the show with a bang. Not only did the 17 year old get a four chair turn, she had all four coaches on their feet. Usher brought out his Grammy to win her over and it worked. Kelly chose #TeamUsher.

Biff Gore
Biff Gore took us all to church with 'A Change is Gonna Come' and despite Blake's pleading for God's help, Gore also chose to be on #TeamUsher.

Christina Grimmie
Christina Grimmie kicked off 'The Voice' with a performance of Miley Cyrus' 'Wrecking Ball' that I thought was better than the original. Grimmie also had a four chair turn and picked to be on Adam Levine's team, to Blake's dismay.

The coaches opened the show, singing a medley of each others hits.
Shelton and Levine took over each others twitter accounts for the premiere and the tweets were just as good as the auditions. It's the first time Adam's tweets were more entertaining than Blake's.
So crazy… @usher sings "Love Somebody" better than I do… #weird

I like these intros. They remind people that @blakeshelton has won THREE times and is therefore the best coach #VoiceFact

So crazy. Every time I hear @blakeshelton talk on the show, I'm just amazed by his wisdom. I would choose him as my coach.

Every time I lose an artist to another coach on The Voice, I pick up People Magazine to remind myself I'm sexier than they are.

#VoiceFact: I made the producers put my trailer right next to @blakeshelton's so he'd be forced to hang out with me.

I'm a sick person. I have so many problems… #VoiceFact #VoiceTakeover

The two night Voice premiere continues tonight on NBC at 8. Let's hope Blake can step up his game or he'll lose out on all the great singers.
