The very first round of blind auditions of ‘The Voice’ Season 21 held on Monday, September 20, witnessed a lot of thrills as a few lucky singers moved to the next round. Singers like Katie Rae, Wendy Moten, Jonathan Mouton, Kinsey Rose, Girl Named Tom, and a few others easily managed to impress the judges namely Blake Shelton, John Legend, Kelly Clarkson and new coach Ariana Grande.

Out of the lot, a contestant named Vaughn Mugol showed up at the premiere episode as he floored the coaches with his rendition of Ed Sheeran’s ‘The A-Team’. John Legend was the very first one to turn around. Kelly Clarkson too noticed the singer’s talent quickly as she did not waste any time to press the red buzzer and turn her big red chair around. Ariana Grande, on the other hand, waited for Vaughn to hit the right notes before finally turning around with a big smile. Blake Shelton seemed less interested as he did not turn around at all.

Vaughn Mugol’s smooth vocals with just the right pitch easily wowed the three judges. The young and talented crooner later revealed that he was a registered nurse who was relatively new to singing.

Livin that double life.”  On his very first appearance on the show, the Filipino crooner said, “I’m a registered nurse so I usually just sing to my patients.”
 
Speaking on his performance, John, who was very keen on getting Vaughn on his team, said, “What you did required a lot of seasoning that I wouldn’t expect from someone that doesn’t perform.” While convincing him, Ariana too gave her best shot saying, “I know that I’m new here and you guys don’t know me as a coach yet, but I want to guide you in this competition. I want to answer any questions you may have. I want to help you get where you want to go as an artist.”

Kelly Clarkson too tried to get him on his team as she was elated with the fact that both of them hailed from Texas. She also added that they both were emotion-based singers. In the end, Vaughn went for Team Ariana, leaving the rest of the two judges disappointed. After his performance, Vaughn took to his Twitter account and shared how emotional he was saying, “I’m literally crying.” ‘With Vaughn in her team, Ariana in total picked three singers on day one including Katie Rae and Katherine Ann Mohler.
