The second episode of the Blind Auditions for Season 28 of “The Voice” aired on Monday, September 29, and it was a night filled with remarkable talent and intense competition. Coaches Snoop Dogg, Niall Horan, Reba McEntire, and Michael Bublé were treated to a variety of performances as eleven artists took to the stage, each hoping to earn a spot on one of the teams.
The episode kicked off with country singer Cori Kennedy, who delivered a heartfelt rendition of “Why Not Me” by The Judds. She managed to captivate coaches McEntire and Bublé, eventually choosing McEntire as her mentor due to her deep admiration for the country legend.
Revel Day, known for his past work with esteemed artists like Stevie Wonder, wowed the coaches with his performance of “Somewhere Only We Know.” His audition led all four chairs to turn, yet it was Niall Horan’s insight that struck a chord with Revel, prompting him to join Team Niall.
Natalia Albertini, a balloon business worker, charmed the coaches with her rendition of “Out Here on My Own.” She chose Snoop Dogg as her coach after being impressed by his genuine admiration for her talent.
Marty O’Reilly’s soulful interpretation of “Trouble” by Ray LaMontagne caught the attention of multiple coaches, but he eventually chose to join Team Bublé, swayed by Bublé’s appeal and strategic moves during the auditions.
J. Blake and Justin Jenks, despite delivering noteworthy performances, did not receive any chair turns, highlighting the fierce level of competition this season.
Kayleigh Clark brought a touch of country to the evening with “Stay” by Sugarland, impressing all four coaches and ultimately selecting Niall Horan as her mentor after considering the diverse options.
Daron Lameek and Rob Cole both gave stirring performances, with McEntire’s instincts leading her to turn for Daron, who chose her team. Meanwhile, Rob Cole benefitted from Bublé’s strategic block against McEntire, securing his place on Team Bublé by default.
