\u201cThe Voice\u201d is back, the red chairs are turning and coaches are filling up their teams. <\/p>\n

Season 30 of the NBC singing competition show kicked off on Monday, Sept. 21 with a two-hour premiere, followed by a second episode on Sept. 22. <\/p>\n

Returning coaches Adam Levine, who won the previous season, and Kelly Clarkson<\/a> welcomed Queen Latifah and Riley Green to the show<\/a> as the Blind Auditions began. <\/p>\n

During the first episode, host Carson Daly introduced the \u201cFirst In Button,\u201d which means that whichever coach turns first in a multi-chair turn has the chance to claim an artist before the artist\u2019s final decision. They can only use this button once. Additionally, there are no blocks this season.<\/p>\n

Also new is the \u201cTikTok artist of the season.\u201d All season long, the show will be tracking which contestants get the most likes and views on the show\u2019s TikTok. The finalist with the most overall likes and shares will nab the title at the end of Season 30. <\/p>\n

Check out \u201cThe Voice\u201d Season 30 premiere highlights from the first and second episodes, including which coaches nabbed the first artists.<\/p>\n

During the Sept. 21 premiere, Queen Latifah was the first coach to land an artist on her team after a three-chair turn. Riley had a special moment singing his song \u201cMy Way\u201d with a contestant, while Kelly offered up her hair extension to an artist so she could join her team. <\/p>\n

A country-singing sister duo got the first four-chair turn of the night, and Queen Latifah used her \u201cFirst In Button\u201d to steal a singer from Kelly and Riley. <\/p>\n

The \u201cWorst Way\u201d crooner also used his adorable pup Carl to convince a young star to join his team, but unfortunately it did not work. <\/p>\n

The banter between the coaches kept the show feeling fun and flowing, as they poked fun at new coach Riley, his good looks and how he would win over the country singers. <\/p>\n

What Happened During Night 2 of \u2018The Voice\u2019 Season 30 Premiere?<\/p>\n

The Sept. 22 episode kicked off with Queen Latifah arriving on a motorcycle, impressing her fellow coaches. <\/p>\n

The first singer of the night, 15-year-old Koumba Diallo, instantly impressed Queen Latifah after just one line. After receiving a four-chair turn, she had one tough decision to make.<\/p>\n

Queen Latifah continued pulling out impressive stunts, including bringing backup singers to the stage when convincing an artist to join her team. (It worked!) Kelly also used her \u201cFirst In\u201d button to nab a soulful singer. <\/p>\n

Adam, meanwhile, continued to be conservative with his chair turns, but a contestant singing a country song caught his attention. He, however, had to fight Riley for the aspiring star. <\/p>\n

The episode ended with a cliffhanger after another four-chair turn got the coaches hyped. Adam and Kelly were making their best effort to nab 23-year-old Lexi Stephens from New York City, who they said could be the next winner. <\/p>\n

Who did she choose? Viewers will find out on Night Three of \u201cThe Voice\u201d Season 30 premiere week. <\/p>\n

What Happened During Night 3 of \u2018The Voice\u2019 Season 30 Premiere?<\/p>\n

The third episode began where it left off, with Lexi ultimately choosing Adam as her coach. <\/p>\n

It was a special moment when 61-year-old Kyle Davis took a chance on continuing his singing dreams and auditioned for \u201cThe Voice.\u201d Strumming along on his guitar, he received a four-chair turn that made him emotional.<\/p>\n

There was also a powerhouse singer that Queen Latifah added to her team, while a tween captured the heart of Kelly. <\/p>\n

After a stunning rendition of \u201cMoon River\u201d from Amanda Mikkel earned her a four-chair turn, it was her turn to choose a coach. Or was it? Eager to get her on their team, Adam went for it and used his \u201cFirst In\u201d button.<\/p>\n
