Jordan Matthew Young sings Keith Whitley’s ‘I’m No Stranger to the Rain’
Originally from Utah, this 34-year-old performer lives in Austin, Texas and is part of a blue collar family who tends to houses and builds things. Despite this hard work, Jordan knows what he loves and does his best to win a spot in the competition. His vocals are enough to impress Blake, Kelly, and Nick, but the country performer’s mind is made up as he picks Team Blake.
Zania Alaké Performs Anita Baker’s ‘Sweet Love’

Ultimately, she chooses Team Legend for her Voice journey.
Savanna Chestnut Sings Thompson Twins’ ‘Hold Me Now’
Hailing from the small town of Americus, Kansas, this 25-year-old hopeful spent her youth performing in the bar her grandparents owned and lived in a trailer while taking guitar lessons with hopes of one day making it big. At 18, she moved to Nashville and began gigging and makes a decent living that way, but wants to give the show a try. Thankfully she did because Team Blake is more than ready to welcome Savanna.
Anna Grace Performs Billie Eilish’s ‘my future’
This 20-year-old from Milwaukee, WI, has always loved music but became self conscious at 13 and stopped performing for crowds. When she got sick with a blood infection at 17 and was in and out of the hospital, she decided she wouldn’t be afraid to perform. The Voice is the first time she’s singing outside of her church, but it pays off as she earns a four-chair spin. Already loving Kelly before singing, Anna chooses Team Kelly.
