They are almost done on getting their teams together. Pedro Fernandez got his first Puerto Rican on his team. His name is Javier Centeno from Bayamon, Puerto Rico, who sang “Chucucha” by Los Ilegales. Daddy Yankee got two amazing voices to join his team. Natalia Jimenez’s team is almost complete with 16 contestants.
Thalia –not Tommy Motola’s wife- surprised everyone with her amazing voice when she sand “Wrecking Ball” by Miley Cyrus. As soon as she started singing all three coaches turned their chairs around. The girl decided to join Fernandez’s team because he would help her connect with her Mexican roots.
