The Voice Season 26 returned this week for two more nights of Blind Auditions, as the coaches finished filling up their teams. There were several more four-chair turns, and Michael Bublé used his Coach Replay for the season.
The Voice Season 26 Blind Auditions Wrap Up
This week’s new episodes featured several four-chair turns, including one from 24-year-old Camryn Brooks, who sang “Light On” by Maggie Rogers in her Blind Audition. Camryn previously auditioned for Season 21 of the show, turning zero chairs. This time, she chose to join Gwen Stefani’s team.
Also on Monday, 35-year-old Lauren-Michael Sellers impressed the coaches with Hillsong UNITED’s “Oceans (Where Feet May Fail).” All four of them wanted her on their team, but Lauren-Michael chose to go with Reba McEntire.
Monday’s episode also featured a four-chair turn for 34-year-old Cameron Wright, whose Blind Audition to “The Way We Were” by Barbra Streisand was teased in an early release. Cameron ended up choosing Michael Bublé as their coach for the season.

The Coaches’ Teams Are Now Full
On Tuesday night, 18-year-old Katie O. wowed all four coaches with her cover of “One Way Ticket (Because I Can)” by LeAnn Rimes. Although they all wanted her on their team, Katie chose McEntire as her coach.
Meanwhile, 21-year-old Jose Luis also impressed the panel with his cover of “Traitor” by Olivia Rodrigo. Although all four coaches turned their chairs for Jose’s performance, the singer chose to join Stefani’s team for the season.
As the teams started to fill up, there weren’t any more four-chair turns, but that doesn’t mean the Blind Auditions stopped being amazing. One of the standouts was 23-year-old Aliyah Khaylyn, who sang “Love and War” by Tamar Braxton.
Stefani’s team was full at that point in the show, but the other three coaches turned around for Aliyah’s powerful performance. She ended up choosing to join Bublé’s team.
Michael Bublé Uses His Coach Replay Button
This season, each coach has a chance to hit the Coach Replay button for an artist who received zero chair turns. This automatically puts the artist on their team. On Monday night, Michael Bublé used his Coach Replay for singer Mark Shiiba.
For his Blind Audition, the 29-year-old performed “Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right” by Bob Dylan, while playing both the guitar and harmonica. None of the coaches turned around for Mark’s audition. Stefani said she was “on the fence” during his performance.
Bublé told Mark that he “might be a star.” So he chose to hit the Coach Replay button, giving Mark a chance to move on in the competition on his team. Bublé called him “the most unique artist we’ve seen so far.”
