Team Blake Adds E.G Daily, Austin Jenckes, Holly Henry as ‘The Voice’ Blind Auditions Continue [VIDEO]
Blake Shelton picked up singers like Taylor Swift picks up men during night two of the blind auditions on 'The Voice.' Voice-over talent E.G Daily, soulful Austin Jenckes and shy songwriter Holly Henry joined #TeamBlake.
E.G. Daily
E.G. Daily, who played Dotti in 'Pee-wee's Big Adventure' and voiced Tommy Pickles in 'Rugrats,' had to choose between Cee Lo and Blake Shelton, who both wanted her on their team after her raspy version of 'Breathe.' Blake pleaded his case saying, 'It's not that often a singer comes along that can have that much rasp in their voice but also be able to hit all of the notes. Don't you think that sounds like a Team Blake thing?' Although none of the other coaches thought so, E.G agreed and chose to join #TeamBlake.
"Today I'm here for the voice I'm singing with, and I'm going with @blakeshelton." Welcome aboard, @Realegdaily! #VoiceReunited

Austin Jenckes
Blake found himself competing with Cee Lo again for soulful songwriter Austin Jenckes who sang 'Simple Man.' Austin described himself as country/folk artist, and made Blake's day. 'Perfect. Absol-freakin-lutely perfect. You even look like the guy I'd hoped you'd look, like singing that song. Big ole dude, from up in the mountains, coming down axing trees on the way.'
Super stoked to be on @blakeshelton's team #TeamBlake

Holly Henry
It took Blake all of 2 seconds to turn around of shy songwriter Holly Henry who sang 'The Scientist.' 'Because of you, I'm officially excited about season 5 of 'The Voice.'' He told her. 'I've done fairly well in the past with females who are singer/songwriters and because I'm married to a singer/songwriter, that's gives me some insight with a young female who's trying to express themselves. Let's get together and win this thing.' Despite having all 4 coaches fighting to have Holly on their team, she choose Blake.
The coaches weren't the only one's moved by Holly's performance. She's already doing well on iTun
TOP 100 ON ITUNES?!?!? YOU CRAZY PEOPLE WHAT ARE YOU THINKING. I love you xx :')

Tessanne Chin
The voice of the night came from Jamaican singer Tessanne Chin, who toured with reggae star Jimmy Cliff. All four coaches fought hard to have Chin join their team, but she choose to be on #TeamAdam who thinks she can 'win the whole thing this year.'
