The Voice Season 8 Episode 2 saw a crop of aspiring singing sensations compete for the musical attention of Christina, Pharrell, Blake and Adam on NBC.

After The Voice Season 8 premiere introduced us to some of the spring campaign’s most promising stars, the sophomore installment did more of the same.

Let’s meet them, shall we?

Anthony Riley can get on up to join Team Pharrell thanks to his performance of James Brown’s “I Got You (I Feel Good).” All four judges turned in seconds!

Blaze Johnson joined Team Adam with a rendition of The Fray’s “How to Save a Life” that managed to get two chairs turned, even if it was a bit uneven.

Brooke Adee and her cover of Bon Iver’s “Skinny Love” earned a spot on Team Blake. Might we have another teenage star on our hands (she’s 16))?

Gabriel Wolfchild won a place on Team Christina, shunning Adam and Blake,  after his take on a folk staple, Bob Dylan’s “Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right.”

Mia Z performed B.B. King’s “The Thrill Is Gone," a cover that needed work but featured enough range, tone and power to win a place on Team Pharrell.

Deanna Johnson put her all into a rendition of Kodaline’s “All I Want,” and the returning auditioner got it done this time, securing a spot on Team Adam.

Joe Tolo is now a card-carrying member of Team Christina, choosing Aguilera over Blake Shelton after belting out The Bee Gees’ “To Love Somebody.”

Tonya Boyd-Cannon and her prison choir background (seriously) made the bold song choice of Pharrell’s “Happy,” and was more than happy to join … Adam’s team.

And there you have it.

Which singers from these first two nights do you think have what it takes to go all the way, and who do you think will be Battle Round montage fodder?
