For her blind audition, Aurea performed “When I Was Your Man” by Bruno Mars. However, it wasn’t the usual coaches sitting in the big red chairs. This time, they’d been replaced by child lookalikes.
There was even a little version of Aurea herself sitting in the chair listening to the performance. The kids did a great job emulating their grown-up counterparts, and appeared to really be considering whether they liked the audition.
