The Voiceis back, which means more four-chair turns, blind auditions and of course, lots more ofAdam LevineandBlake Shelton‘s adoring bromance.

  1. Pharrell Williams is going to fight to win this seasonBesides Shelton and Levine, Usher has been the only other coach who has won the show – Usher stole contestant Josh Kaufman from Levine’s team and won season 6.

“We have to continue to fight,” Williams told reporters at the season 8 press junket on Feb. 9. “I haven’t won, but I have enjoyed it so much because you see these kids light up when they see something different in themselves. Not that you brought [it] out, but you may have just pointed at it and they see it. And they’re able to receive it and retrieve it and take it to another level. That, in itself, is a win for me. But it doesn’t win the show. So, I remain content with that. I also remain win-less.”

  1. There will be more talented young contestantsIf you loved all of the performances so far, Pharrell says viewers should get ready to be even more blown away. “I think you’re going to be really surprised at how young these kids are,” Williams shares. ” You would think that they’ve been singing for 30, 40 years. And someone’s 15, 16, 14.”

  2. The coaches are bringing out all the stops to get people to join their teamRemember when Adam Levine stood on his chair for season 7’s Luke Wade? Well the coaches are getting even more competitive. A woman from Nashville, Tennessee, (cue:Blake Shelton’s “we have a geographical connection moment”) wows the judges with her performance of Rod Stewart’s “Stay With Me” and lands a four-chair turn. The Maroon 5 frontman is so impressed he gets on stage and holds her yes, holds her.
