Another night, another round of Blind Auditions.

There are only a few spots left — who will make it to the Battles? Here’s a recap of the Oct. 4 episode.
[Spoiler alert: The following story contains spoilers for The Voice Season 22 Episode 6.]
Team Legend
Queens, New York, singer Dia Malai grew up performing for her big family. When her father died a few years ago, Dia knew she had to make him proud by pursuing her dreams. Now, she’s on The Voice, hoping to get noticed by the legendary John Legend. Dia sang an upbeat cover of Mary J Blige’s “Real Love” that had John dancing as he turned around. Blake said he regretted not turning around — Camila’s regret button idea would come in handy here. Regardless, Dia’s dreams are coming true on Team Legend.
Team Legend so far: Omar Cardona, Emma Brooke, David Andrew, Peyton Aldridge, Valerie Harding, Morgan Taylor, Parijita Bastola, The Marilynds, SOLsong, Kara McKee, Lana Love, Dia Malai
Team Gwen
Jillian Jordyn, 17, of Melville, New York, is such a big fan of The Voice that she’s had a karaoke machine from the show since she was a child. She auditioned with “Issues” by Julia Michaels, earning turns from John and Gwen. She told the coaches she wanted to be an “influential” artist that young listeners can turn to, and John said he loved her vision. Meanwhile, Gwen told Jillian she could see a bit of Julia Michaels in her. In the end, Jillian joined Team Gwen.
Team Gwen so far: Ian Harrison, Jay Allen, Alyssa Witrado, Sadie Bass, Cara Brindisi, Julia Aslani, Tanner Howe, Kayla Von Der Heide, Destiny Leigh, Kique, Daysia, Jillian Jordyn
Team Camila
Grace Bello, a Cuban-American artist from Washington, grew up surrounded by Spanish music. Her parents have supported her musical ventures in every way and kept her feeling as energetic as possible. She related the most to Camila, but said she would feel honored to work with any of the coaches. Grace auditioned with Justin Bieber’s “Ghost,” leaving all four coaches in awe. After the four-chair turn, John complimented Grace’s control and said they could make “beautiful music” together. Meanwhile, Gwen called Grace a “rare” find, and Camila said she could hear a bit of Ariana Grande in her voice. Grace ultimately landed on Team Camila.
Team Camila so far: Morgan Myles, Orlando Mendez, Reina Ley, Devix, Chello, Andrew Igbokidi, Ava Lynn Thuresson, Sasha Hurtado, Sydney Kronmiller, Eric Who, Zach Newbould, Grace Bello
Team Blake
Austin Montgomery is only 19 years old, but he describes himself as an “old soul.” He enjoys putting a modern spin on older songs. Some of his favorite musicians include Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash. The California singer auditioned for The Voice with Hank Williams’ “I Can’t Help It (If I’m Still in Love with You).” Gwen, Blake, and Camila turned around, with Camila shocked by how much Austin sounded like Elvis. Blake said it was a “gift” to have Austin on the show, while Camila said wanted to hear Austin’s voice on the radio one day, bringing his “old soul” to the current generation. The decision was a no-brainer for Austin — Team Blake “for sure.”
The Voice showed a quick glimpse at Team Blake’s Benny Weag, who performed Ed Sheeran’s “Shivers.”
Team Blake so far: Kate Kalvach, Bryce Leatherwood, Kevin Hawkins, Brayden Lape, Madison Hughes, Tanner Fussell, Eva Ullman, Hillary Torchiana, Ansley Burns, Bodie, Austin Montgomery, Benny Weag
