8:00 in the evening – “Earlier on ‘The Voice!’” In Episode 2, Blake returned from the beginning of the season and hired four performers. As for Gwen and John. Blake has one more artist than Camila. Except he didn’t hit Block. Tonight? Find out!
8:02 p.m – Andrew Igbokidi, A 22-year-old Nigerian-American from Arkansas was the first to audition. Andrew’s performance of “after the party’s done” was a turning point between music and medicine. Gwen, Blake and Camila press their buttons after hearing a line. John then turned four chairs. Gwen was impressed by Andrew’s emotional mix of genres. John was “intrigued” by his choice and contacted him about his collaboration in West Africa. Camilla praised his song choice, tone and quality of performance. Blake promised Andrew a special spot on his team, but he chose Camilla.
8:13 p.m – Cara BrindisI sang to her grandfather with Alzheimer’s and later worked in a hospice. Kara was hoping to turn Blake’s chair with “All Too Well,” but both Gwen and Blake turned for her. Camila fought for Kara to choose Blake because she likes to tell stories and Blake enjoys her Southern spirit. Gwen likes Cara’s singer-songwriter style and wants to collaborate with her. Kara surprised herself by joining Gwen’s team.
8:24 p.m – a pharmacist from Florida Billy Craver auditioned with “She got the best of me.” Blake and the other coaches ignored Billy. Blake said she liked his tone and pitch, but not his language. Gwen complimented his vibrato, but he declined.
8:30 p.m – Valarie HardingHer family claims she never stopped singing, even while they run a sound/events company together. Music was in Valarie’s blood and consumed her life, so it was no wonder that John and Gwen wanted her on their teams. Gwen said it was Valarie’s time “slow in a nice way” and its nature is seen in its performance. John enjoyed her vibrato and felt she refreshed a classic tune with her performances and riffs. It was easy for Valari to join Team Legend.
8:40 p.m “The second one tonight was the horse rider Julia Aslanli with Let’s Stay Together. Gwen immediately liked Julia’s voice and turned her chair. In the end, Gwen was the only chair to turn, therefore Julia automatically joined her team. Camila didn’t turn because the song wasn’t engaging, while Gwen thought Julia was the best of the season.
8:50 p.m – The dry ones is a country music duo from Nashville. Blake wanted them when Caitlin joined Derek on Islands in the Stream, but Gwen didn’t give in easily. Blake’s presentation consisted of dad jokes, but he liked them based on Derek’s voice because they were so country. The dry ones complimented Gwen, who called them cute and said she could help them cross genres. Even though they loved Gwen, the Drys joined Blake’s team.
9:03 p.m – Ava Lynn Turreson, 18, sang “… Baby One More Time” to kick off the second hour. Camila waited a while before clicking her button but eventually joined John who had tapped his earlier. Camilla said she was looking for musicians who do covers in a different way and liked her grunge style. John praised her “rock star” voice and confident, level-headed delivery. Ava Lynn was overwhelmed by the joy of the coaches, but chose Team Camila.
9:16 p.m “Next was the videographer from Florida Madison Hughes, who didn’t know how to sing even though he had been playing the guitar since he was a kid. She auditioned with “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door”, which Blake, Gwen and Camila loved. Again, Camila noted the “juxtaposition” of genres in Madison’s country rock song. She was especially happy to see Madison singing on the show and getting close to The X Factor. Blake was surprised that Madison had strayed so far from country because “country is what you say.” Gwen liked that she was a “melting pot” with a genre-hopping career. Madison joined Blake’s team to avoid the pot.
9:27 p.m – To Sasha Hurtado The audition for “River” wowed John and Camilla, while Blake and Gwen were left out. Sasha informs them that she sings in places and hopes to make a career in pop music. John was impressed and sang a few Spanish tunes. Camila recognizes parallels in Sasha and can help her see where she can go. Once again, Camila defeated John and Sasha joined her team.
9:40 p.m – Because of his huge family, Dominic Patrick stated that every occasion is like a concert. With “U Got It Bad,” Dominic failed to impress the coaches. Camilla said he was gifted, but she didn’t turn around because she wanted to hear his voice. John agreed with Gwen that he sang loudly, but the song didn’t show it.
9:50 p.m – The night ended with Morgan Taylor singing “Because I Love You.” Blake stunned Gwen by turning around instantly, but she, John, and Camilla pressed their buttons. Blake was excited to learn she lived in Nashville, but Morgan said she wasn’t a country singer. Morgan wanted to do soulful pop, but Camila noted how difficult it was to cover a Lizzo song. She gave her ideas for supporting notes that she had not made and stated that she could help her.
Gwen says Morgan was born to sing and wants to help her reveal her personality and strength. John told her she had a powerful soprano voice and suggested she change the tune. Blake stated that she knows the show better than the other coaches and admitted that her voice matters the moment she opens her mouth. John beat out Camila and the other judges to land one of the hottest acts of the season.
Final thought:
On Sept. 26, Blake Shelton, Camila Cabello, Gwen Stefani and John Legend continued to build their teams during the blind auditions for season 22 of “The Voice.” During the first two episodes, everyone except Blake used their blocks.
