When The Voice aired a special sneak peek following the Rio Olympics Closing Ceremony, we saw two crazy talented teens impress new coaches Alicia Keys and Miley Cyrus. But E! News has gotten a hold of one of the blind auditions from the season 11 premiere proper, and we get to see 28-year-old Ali Caldwell absolutely slay in her turn singing for the coaches.

As you can see in the clip, her sultry take on Ariana Grande's "Dangerous Woman" gets the attention of male coaches Adam Levine and Blake Shelton before finally impressing Miley and Alicia. Yes, people—we have a four-chair turn here and a standing ovation from the audience (and 3/4 of the coaches, too).

Naturally, things get heated when the coaches have to make their cases. And Adam REALLY wants Ali on his team. No big deal, but "my entire season hinges on whether or not I have you on my team," he tells her. No pressure there!

Alicia gets up on stage to hug Ali—but Adam does too, and then brings out the singer's entire family on stage with her.

"Goodness gracious, he's scaring you," Alicia tells the singer, who leaves us all in suspense as she makes her decision.

"One thing my mom always taught me is to dare to be different," Ali says before making her final decision.

Watch Ali's audition above, then tune in to The Voice's full season 11 premiere on Monday, Sept. 19 at 8 p.m. on NBC to find out which team she chooses.

(E! and NBC are both part of the NBCUniversal family.)
