Blind Auditions
In the Blind Auditions, Jared was the 3rd artist to audition and sang "Good Girls Go Bad" by Cobra Starship. None of the coaches turned their chair around and Jared did not join any team. Due to some of the coaches not having filled their team of 8 by the time they had seen all of the auditions, some were given a second chance, including Jared. For his second audition he sang "Not Ready to Make Nice" by Dixie Chicks. Blake Shelton was the only coach to turn his chair around making Jared an immediate member of Team Blake.
