Blind Auditions

In the Blind Auditions, the four coaches had to form their own teams, each of which would consist of 12 contestants. Each coach had one Block to prevent one of the other coaches from getting a contestant.

NOTE: In order to be consistent with the summaries provided by the franchise, the "Quiro Tu Voz" button is referred by its global name, "I Want You".
