The Voice

This opportunity on "The Voice"

is not like anything that I'll get anywhere else.

These coaches will be able

to help me as an artist to grow.

To guide me and teach me.

You don't ever give up on a dream.

You never know when it's gonna show back up.

Give it up for your coaches!

Adam levine!

Even after six seasons, I still get humbled

by all the talent that I see.

This could easily be the best season yet.

Gwen Stefani!

I've been in a band, I've had a solo career,

and I'm a mom.

But I've never been a coach,

and I can't wait to pass on everything that I've learned.

Pharrell Williams!

I'm an artist but I'm also a producer.

For me, discovering new talent

is the thing that keeps me going,

and it's an opportunity to change someone's life.

And Blake Shelton!

We're making their dreams come true

with one push of a button.

And this season, we get to do it

with two incredible new coaches.

Tonight, the emmy award-winning phenomenon,

"The Voice," is back,

as our returning champions

welcome two new coaches to the "voice" family.

Gwen's one of those iconic artists.

And she's paved the way for females in rock music.

There is nobody in the world like Gwen Stefani.

because we have pharrell, who's a producer and a writer.

he's just got this incredible energy around him.

Two-time "voice" champion

and grammy award-winning lead singer of maroon 5 Adam levine.

He plays virtually every instrument.

He has an incredible career. There's no one like him.

Three-time winning coach

and the reigning cma male vocalist of the year,

country music superstar Blake Shelton.

I am a huge Blake fan.

I just love that guy.

These four superstars have come together with one goal...

To find the greatest undiscovered voice in America.

And with a lineup like this,

"The Voice" will never be the same.

Blake, aren't you excited to see these guys for the first time fight each other?

Gwen is the queen of awesome.

Gwen and pharrell collaborated many times together,

and I feel like I'm competing against Adam and a duo.

I love you so much!

I love you, too, boo.

I think I'm gonna throw up.

This season, our coaches will be more passionate.

Being on this show is a sign

for me to be inspired by people like you.

Wow. Thank you.

We're at a high level here.

We're trying to get people that really move us.

Okay. Time-out. Time-out.

They'll be more creative.

I'm gonna write you a love poem.

Anyone can write a poem from the top of their head.

Do you really believe that's all that he said?

These guys are so good at this, I'm a little threatened.

I love "The Voice"

because it really puts all of the emphasis on The Voice.

And they'll fight harder

to get the most talented singers...

I know what to do with that voice. Oh, my God.

Do you like fashion? I have four clothing lines.

I do have two trophies from winning "The Voice."

I have three trophies from "The Voice" and a credit card.

We'll go buy you some clothes.

They're talking the talk.

What?! But I'm walking the walk.

All right, that's it.

How seriously are you gonna be able to take this guy

when you're waiting for him to make you

an arby's roast-beef sandwich?

Because only one coach will deliver

the artist that wins it all... Yes!

Aah! Yes!

And be named The Voice.

You're my boo.

To kick off the blind auditions...

Don't do that... are your season 7 coaches.

Whoo! Yes!

As our coaches get ready for the blind auditions,

let's meet our first artist.

Outside the "voice" stage at universal studios, Hollywood,

the artists eagerly await their chance

to perform for our coaches.

Whoo!

First is 31-year-old soul singer

from dublin, Texas, Luke wade.

I came from a family of artists.

My dad is a painter.

My mom ran a dance studio.

I started dancing when I was 3 for about 10 years.

And my mom thought it was really cool

to put a young boy in sequins, to dress a young man as a bunny.

You look back on your childhood,

sometimes you realize things were weird.

As a kid, I would go to my mom's dance studio

and have to clean it to get my allowance.

And there was only a record player over there,

and that's really where I started getting

into the classical music that I love.

So, what'd you start doing? How did that manifest in trying to do this for a LMNG?

I started a band, played all over Texas bars.

Drmng around a lot? Yeah.

It turned into putting 50,000 Miles a year on your car,

trying to get 10 people to buy a cd at a coffee shop.

It's a tough road being a professional musician,

and I've been at it for 11 years.

I don't think he ever gives up.

And he's had some tough times, but Luke has persevered.

When I was 13 years old, I was involved in an accident.

Paintball was really new,

and one of our friends accidentally shot me

and took the vision in my right eye.

It showed me how your life can change in a second.

You can't take anything for granted,

and you can never stop pushing.

This opportunity on "The Voice"

is not like anything that I'll get anywhere else.

If I played in front of 100 people every night

for the rest of my life,

I wouldn't get in front of as many people

as one night on this show.

The possibilities for me coming out of this are limitless.

You ready, Gwen?

Yes, I am.

High heels.

What?!
