In the
sneak peek, each of the new coaches take different approaches to wooing
potential team members, and at times, Levine and Shelton find it hard to
compete.
Cyrus
plays up her off-beat, youthful energy. At one point, she tells a contestant
who wore her grandmother's vintage vest to the audition that they share
"grandma power."
Keys,
meanwhile, goes for a warm, personal approach that none of the other three
could possibly duplicate.
Keys might be the one to beat
Speaking
of Keys, early indicators are she's going to be the most calculated and
deliberate coach during auditions this season. She doesn't seem like the type
who will be turning chair around for just any good singer.
Her
strategy appears to be seeking out singers who she feels a connection to. One
person who ends up on her team calls Keys "honest and real," and that
sums up what Keys' approach to mentoring will probably be as well.
As an
artist that puts a lot of stock in authenticity, Keys seems to be on the
lookout for artists with strong points of view that she can take to a new
level.
In other
words, the other coaches should be on high alert for this savvy coach.
Levine and Shelton have fun picking on Cyrus -- but
she fights back
Even
though the bromance of Levine and Shelton is out in full force once again this season,
Cyrus' addition promises to only add more fuel to the fire.
Like when
she guested as a mentor on the show last season, Shelton has a lot of fun
poking fun at the younger singer's eccentric style and her gift for gabbing.
("When do you breathe?" he joked at one point.) But she doesn't take
it lying down.
At one
point, Cyrus pointed out to a contestant that unlike her fellow coaches, the
"internet actually existed" when she was coming up in the music
world. (Levine laughed the comment off, saying, "We weren't born in the
'30s.")
Most importantly, there's perfect harmony
New
dynamics are tough to test out, but the first look at the new season feels less
like a timid step into the future and more like a leap into a new era for
"The Voice."
Cyrus and
Keys make sure their musicianship shines brighter than everything else. (They
even do an impromptu duet with a contestant and have a fun performance with
Shelton and Levine.) And that could make for a pretty harmonious season.
Season 11
of "The Voice" premieres September 19.
