Jim Ranger impressed The Voice coaches with a soulful cover of Keith Urban’s “Blue Ain’t Your Color” on the season 19 premiere of NBC’s The Voice.
The 38-year-old from Bakersfield, California earned a three-chair turn.
“I should have turned,” Kelly Clarkson admitted after his performance.
Gwen Stefani attempted to use her country cred to coerce anger to join her team, asking him, “Have you seen me on the country chart?”

Ranger ultimately decided to join Team Blake Shelton.
Luckily, my reputation precedes me,” Shelton shared. “I’m on a roll and I’m loving it!”
