What time will 'The Voice' Season 23 Episode 6 be out?
The new episode of 'The Voice' Season 23 will premiere on NBC on Tuesday, March 21, 2023, at 8 pm ET. The upcoming episode, which is the final round of the blind auditions, will follow a fresh batch of prospective contestants as they compete in the sixth round of open tryouts. They will put their best foot forward in the hopes that one or more coaches will turn their chairs and choose them for their squad.
What to expect from 'The Voice' Season 23 Episode 6?
The contestants will take the stage for the sixth, i.e., the final round of blind auditions, while the four coaches assess their performance and determine if they are promising. If a coach is impressed with a contestant's performance, they will turn their chairs in their favor. If the singer only gets one chair turn, they will be assigned to the squad of the corresponding coach. If more than one chair turn happens, the coaches will have to pull their convincing talents out of the bag and attempt to convince the contestant to join their squad. The performer is then given the choice of selecting the finest coach for them.

The synopsis for the episode reads, "Chance the Rapper, Kelly Clarkson, Niall Horan and Blake Shelton all vie to discover and coach the next singing phenomenon on the final night of blind auditions."
The coaches will then put two of their own team members against each other during the battle rounds to perform the same song together. The contestants will be competing for their coach's trust and choice to advance to the next round.
What happened in 'The Voice' Season 23 Episode 5?
Mariah Kalia, a singer and performer, opened the night with her tryout to Billie Eillish's 'idontwannabeyouanymore'. Niall attempted to convince her that opposite styles could attract and that they'd make a wonderful team but she concluded that Team Chance was the better option.
Kylee Dayne followed with 'Fallingwater', which received late chair turns from Chance, Blake, and Niall. Blake went all out with his enormous light-up "pick Blake" finger dangling from the roof and the gag worked to convince Kylee to join his squad.
Joe with the Flow brought his guitar to the stage for his rendition of 'Mystery of Love', which did not showcase his singing abilities. The coaches let Joe perform an original rap before he departed the platform, but there was no altering the result.
Gina Miles, 18, performed 'The One That Got Away' to the delight of both Kelly and Niall, expecting the judges to be astonished by her singing. Niall was able to convince Gina to join his squad despite the fact that he is not the best vocalist in the world.
Kason Lester, a strawberry grower, performed 'It's Not Over' for the coaches, impressing Blake with his powerful rock and roll vocals. Blake was overjoyed to get a rock musician, so it sounded like a marriage made in heaven.
JB Somers, who is currently going through the "writer rounds" in Nashville, incorporated his sister's remembrance into his art in the hopes of honoring her skills with his own. He sang 'A Case of You' in her honor. Kelly and Chance battled valiantly for JB, and Kelly came out on top this time.
Alison Bailey chose 'Rescue' for her audition and despite the fact that she was singing in front of her grandma, none of the coaches turned their chairs for her. Niall advised her to work "in the alto world" and practice her breathing, while Chance stated that this is only the first stage in her profession and that she can continue to climb.
Ray Uriel's audition of 'Glimpse of Us' appeared to be a no-go until Chance rotated his chair and pulled Ray over to his side with an automatic bid at the very last note of the song. Chance told him that he reminds him of a recording artist and despite his unsteady times, he believes he has the ability to do well with a range of tracks.
Chance also added Alyssa Lazar to his squad following her performance on 'Maybe I'm Amazed'.
Rachel Christine, a huge Kelly fan, hoped to be chosen to join her squad, but Chance was ready to battle Kelly for her based on 'Uninvited'. Despite Chance making a compelling argument and going first, Rachel had no choice but to join Team Kelly.
Domenica Coka was attempting to make an emotional link with 'When I Look at You', but it did not click with any of the mentors. Niall and Chance both encouraged Domenica to return to the show next season for another opportunity.
Cait Martin, a voiceover artist, turned 'As It Was' on its head in her audition and immediately won Kelly's admiration. Chance compared Cait's lower tones to Whitney Houston, which impressed Cait, but Cait ultimately chose to go in the way her parents were urging her to go, which was for Team Kelly.
