The Voice season 26 episode 2 recap

The rules for The Voice season 26 episode 2 blind auditions were as usual. The contestants perform while the coaches are seated in the opposite direction. They can't see the contestants; however, if the coaches like their singing at any point during their performance, they can press the button to turn their seats to reveal the contestants.

The Voice coaches who press their button then make their point as to why the contestant should join them. The singer joins one of the coaches and then represents their team for the rest of the show.

Dreion, a 27-year-old from Omaha, Nebraska impressed the judges with her performance of Shining Star by Earth, Wind, and Fire. All four of the judges turned their seats for the contestants and ultimately he joined Team Snoop Dogg.

Snoop further made use of the Coach Replay Button and picked Gail Bliss who performed If It Hadn't Been For Love by The SteelDrivers.

Gwen Stefani invited a season 1 returning contestant Felsmere who vowed the coach with his rendition of (She's) Some Kind of Wonderful by Soul Brothers Six. The Voice 26 coach further added country singer Rowdy Shea who sang You Shouldn't Kiss Me Like This by Toby Keith.

Lively performer Austyns Stancil was the final addition to Team Stefani in episode 2 who sand OOO Baby Baby by Smokey Robinson and The Miracles.

Episode 2 of The Voice season 26 featured a trio from Tallahassee, Florida called 323. The trio presented their unique take on Britney Spears' (You Drive Me) Crazy. The group chose Reba as their coach for her experience. Tanner Frick was the second addition to her team.

Michael Bublé continued to find his footing as a coach. He blocked Reba to secure Mor Ilderton as his first entry of the episode. The 20-year-old singer performed Coal by Dylan Gossett.
