Alicia Keys heads into the first live show on season 14 of “The Voice” with the strongest team of the four coaches. That is not surprising given that her six artists merited a whopping 17 chair turns during the blind auditions. Compare that to the rosters of the other coaches: six-time champ Blake Shelton (15 turns); rookie Kelly Clarkson (11 turns) and three-time winner Adam Levine (10 turns).
We have compiled a power ranking of the contestants now on Team Alicia Keys. These would-be winners are listed from best to worst based on: their reception in the knockouts, battles and blind auditions; the resulting sales of their tracks on iTunes; and the votes of viewers like you.
