Don’t ask me where I got these The Voice 5 spoilers. If I told you…I’d have to kill you! Just rest assured they are solid! And kind of interesting.
Let’s begin with the obvious plants. Donna Allen, from Team Adam, was a cheerleader for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the 70’s, toured as a back up singer for Gloria Estefan and topped the dance charts in the UK. R&B and Reggae singer, Tessanne, toured with Jimmy Cliff and had a hit in Jamaica. Bri Cuoco is the sister of actress Kaley Cuoco from Big Bang Theory. She even guested on the show. The mother of all plants, however, is EG Daily, from Team Blake. She’s an accomplished voice and film actress. Buttercup and Tommy Pickles auditioned for The Voice, ya’ll. And if you’ve seen Pee Wee’s Big Adventure and Valley Girls, you TOTALLY know who she is.
The Battle Rounds are August 15, I hear. Adam’s mentor is Ryan Tedder. The Voice 5 debuts on NBC Monday, September 23.
George Horga, Jr. is an American Idol season 11 Hollywood contestant.
