The Voice returned to NBC on Monday, September 29 for the next round of the Blind Auditions. The competition between coaches are beginning to get tight, especially between reigning 2 time champs Michael Bublé and Niall Horan.
The majority of the night featured silly little skits that show the dynamic between coaches, Michael Bublé, Niall Horan, Reba McEntire, and Snoop Dogg. Silly moments often included competitiveness between Bublé and Horan.
Coaches Fight Over Incredible Singers
The first singer of the episode was early release singer, Cori Kennedy. Fans were luckily able to see Bublé and McEntire turn for the singer. Now, fans know that Cori is a part of Team Reba. Following was singer Revel Day, who came to the stage singing “Somewhere Only We Know” by Keane. He turned the chairs of Bublé, Niall Horan, and McEntire. In the end, Revel chose to pick Team Niall.
The next artist taking the stage was Natalia Albertini, who sang “Out Here on My Own” by Irene Cara. Snoop Dogg turned almost immediately, followed by McEntire. When coaches could finally talk, Bublé and Horan admitted that they were embarrassed that they didn’t turn. Between McEntire and Snoop Dogg, Natalia chose Snoop Dogg.
The next artist gave a raspy rendition of “Trouble” by Ray LaMontagne. At first, it seemed like coaches were going to decline Marty O’Reilly. But then, Horan, Snoop Dogg, and Bublé turned their chairs. Marty decided to join Team Michael.
Niall Horan Wins Country Four-Chair Turn Singer
Later in the episode, country singer Kayleigh Clark took the stage singing “Stay” by Sugarland. Once again, Snoop Dogg almost immediately turned his chair, followed by McEntire, Horan, then Bublé. The four-chair turner was clearly thrilled to see all of the coaches turned for her.
While trying to win over the artist, Snoop Dogg shared that he was the first to turn for her, which she noticed. Eventually, she brought her family on stage. Her family was excited to get a huge from Snoop Dogg. Although it seemed like Kayliegh would choose Snoop as her coach, she instead chose Team Niall.
Following was singer Daron Lameek, who sang “All Night Long” by Lionel Richie. This rendition had coaches dancing along throughout the audition. McEntire was the first to turn, followed by Bublé. After talking to both coaches, Daron chose to join Team Reba.
Up next was Season 25 alum Rob Cole. After not earning a chair turn in his previous season, he returned with the goal of impressing with “Joy of My Life” by Chris Stapleton. Bublé was the first to turn, followed by McEntire, who he blocked. This was a great strategic play for Bublé, since Rob gets to join Bublé’s team by default.
Justin Jenks took the stage singing “Sex and Candy” by Marcy Playground, but he unfortunately did not turn any coach chairs. J. Blake was also on this episode, but he unfortunately didn’t turn any of the coaches chairs.
After, Aarik Duncan came to the stage singing “Birds of a Feather” by Billie Eilish. The only coach that turned for Aarik was Michael Bublé. The final singer to take the stage was Sadie Dahl, who sang “Colors” by Playing for Change. She turned the chairs of all the coaches, but, Bublé was blocked by Horan. Sadie decided to join Team Snoop.
