The Voice 2018 preview: Kade Smith sings for the coaches

Here’s a first look at tonight’s The Voice 2018 blind auditions as Kade Smith sings for the coaches.

The Blind Auditions continue this evening with the second instalment of The Voice UK on ITV.

Will.i.am, Jennifer Hudson and Sir Tom Jones are back as coaches for this year’s series alongside new coach Olly Murs.

Tonight, the fabulous four piece continue on their quest to uncover the best vocal talent that Britain has to offer, with this year’s winner scooping a life changing record contract with Polydor Records.

As always, the first stage is the blind auditions where the contestants must hold their nerve as they sing to the backs of the coaches.

If the coaches like what they hear, they bash their buzzer to spin around and select that artist for their teams of ten.

When more than coaches spins then it’s up to the act to pick which team to join, but if no one turns it’s a lonely walk off stage.

One of the contestants hoping to get the coaches to spin this evening is teenager Kade Smith.

The Window Cleaner from Leicester sings Otis Redding’s Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay.

As his family and friends and watch on backstage, Kade nervously awaits to see any of the coaches hit their buzzers.

Tune in to The Voice UK tonight to watch Kade’s blind audition in full.

Other contestants this evening include duo Belle Voci, made up of Sophie and Emily, who perform Delibes’ Flower Duet together.

Meanwhile, Burlesque and Cabaret performer Ivy Paige flirts up a storm with Olly Murs as she sings Peggy Lee’s Why Don’t You Do Right while there’s a familiar face as Jamie Grey returns. Musician Jamie had auditioned last year and gives it a second go tonight with Rise Up by Andra Day.

The Voice UK 2018 airs Saturday night on ITV from 8PM.
