"The Voice" entered the second week of Season 30 Blind Auditions on Monday, and Louisiana native Bryan Jaymes delivered one of the most surprising performances of the night — much to Adam Levine's dismay.

The 39-year-old's stirring performance of Hall & Oates' "Every Time You Go Away" indeed stirred up some strong feelings among the coaches, with everyone but Kelly Clarkson turning around to see the owner of this soulful sound. (TVLine's grade: A)

Of course, they were even more stunned when Jaymes began to speak, revealing a shockingly deeper voice than they expected given the range of what he just sang. We believe Clarkson summed up our thoughts perfectly: "What the hell?!"

Adam Levine made a strong play to get Jaymes on his team, so he was thrilled to hear his name... but not the part that came afterwards. "Adam..." Jaymes said, prompting Levine to preemptively celebrate. "...I love the words, but..." he continued, effectively raining all over Levine's parade. The Maroon 5 frontman dropped his face onto his desk in shame as Jaymes revealed his actual choice — Queen Latifah. (By the way, singing the "Living Single" theme song was a nice touch. Well done, Jaymes.)

"Adam's crushed!" noted host Carson Daly from backstage, while Levine himself admitted, "I never had a chance."

Read on for a breakdown of the 10 other artists who successfully landed on one of "The Voice" coaches' team on Monday. When you're done, drop a comment with your thoughts. Who had your favorite Blind Audition of the night?

Cade Mower, 35 (Team Riley Green)

Cade Mower already had reservations about meeting Riley Green before he started to sing, admitting, "I fear his mustache is better than mine." And he may be right, but after Mower's performance of Zach Bryan's "Something in the Orange," no one was talking about his subpar 'stache. It was all about that smooth country voice, which got the attention of all four coaches. (Well, it was also about Mower's adorable daughter, but mostly his voice.) It came as no surprise when Mower chose to join Team Green, and his coach is just as excited about the partnership. "He has a tone that you can feel emotionally," Green said.

Allie Rae, 15 (Team Riley Green)

This small-town girl blew Riley Green and Kelly Clarkson away with her big ol' voice, getting Green to turn around after a single "Mississippi" in her performance of Alannah Myles' "Black Velvet." We're surprised that a 15-year-old would even choose this song, much less crush it so effortlessly. We fully understand why Clarkson appeared so devastated when Green decided to employ his First-In Button to secure Rae to his team.

TVLine's grade: A

Connor Closs, 23 (Team Adam Levine)

Connor Closs grew up playing a pretend version of "The Voice" in his New Jersey living room, but his silky smooth performance of Hozier's "Too Sweet" in his Blind Audition was the real deal. His smoky vocals got Adam Levine's attention, turning around when Closs hit the song's first chorus. Riley Green turned too, but given Closs' overall style, we figured he would choose Team Levine. Either way, Closs was definitely one of the night's more underrated contestants. "I'm really unsure as to why not everybody turned around," Levine noted.

TVLine's grade: A-

Saade, 24 (Team Kelly Clarkson)

First of all, kudos to Saade for picking Raye's "Oscar Winning Tears." It's a tough song to maneuver, and she did so pretty well, but it took the coaches a minute to really get a feel for what Saade had to offer. The whole thing started off a little disjointed, but there was a theatricality to her performance that, once it emerged, had the coaches' full attention. She thanked them all for their kind words, but she ended by saying, "I was raised with Kelly Clarkson in Iran," so joining her team was always the dream.

TVLine's grade: B+

Everett Bounds, 23 (Team Riley Green)

Everett Bounds claims to have only been singing for about two-and-a-half years, but his '70s-tastic look — from the hair to the 'stache — begs to differ. This man was born to perform, and perform he did, crooning out a solid rendition of Eddie Rabbitt's "Drivin' My Life Away." It was a perfect fit for his pop-country voice, which was music to Riley Green's ears.

TVLine's grade: B+

Sophia Liano, 22 (Team Queen Latifah)

Sophia Liano knew that singing a Celine Dion was "is a very big risk," but that didn't stop her from stepping up to "The Voice" stage with a performance of "I Surrender." Queen Latifah was drawn to her growl and general fire, with Riley Green also turning his chair after being impressed by a particularly big note. And those big notes are where Liano ultimately succeeded, though there was a shakiness to the overall presentation that we couldn't ignore. Here's hoping she shakes off those audition nerves as we move further into the competition.

TVLine's grade: B-

Anna McElroy, 26 (Team Kelly Clarkson)

Some auditions are just really pleasant, and Anna McElroy's breezy take on Maren Morris' "'80s Mercedes" was just that. We were certain that McElroy was going to join Riley Green's team, given that everyone from Alabama usually ends up headed in that direction, but much to our surprise, she opted to go with Kelly Clarkson. (Side note: We love that Queen Latifah told McElroy, "You are definitely country, but you are also the world." We have no idea what that means, but we wish she would say it to us.)

TVLine's grade: A-

Julia Clark (Team Adam Levine)

Julia Clark's ethereal sound was a perfect fit for Billie Eilish's "Bellyache," eliciting an instant turn-around from Queen Latifah. Adam Levine also decided that he wanted in, and can you blame him? Clark has a fantastic lower register, but she also has a beautiful head voice. It gave you that floating-on-a-cloud feeling that Eilish songs are meant to elicit. With all respect to Latifah, Clark chose to go with Levine for reasons of genre.

TVLine's grade: A-

Cal Cook, 28 (Team Adam Levine)

Already a coach (of the diving variety), Cal Cook arrived at "The Voice" with a buttery rendition of Dijon's "The Dress," which showed off every note of Cook's strong falsetto. Adam Levine fell for his voice immediately — which isn't at all surprising, given the similarities between the two singers — and was thrilled to welcome Cook onto his team. "Team Adam is feeling good," Levine said after formally welcoming Cook. "I'm out of my rut."

TVLine's grade: B+

Chari, 31 (Team Queen Latifah)

The final audition of the night was also the most memorable. Even before she took the stage, Chari was "buzzing" with anticipation, explaining to the viewers that she often bottles up a lot of her emotion. Well, Chari didn't leave anything bottled up with her performance of Oleta Adams' "Get Here," quickly becoming a four-chair turn. There was so much emotion in her voice, not to mention the soaring high notes and gorgeous runs. This woman is a powerhouse, and Queen Latifah is lucky to have her on her team.
