The Voice UK 2018 hit our screens again tonight for the second round of blind auditions on ITV.
Global music legends will.i.am, Jennifer Hudson, Sir Tom Jones and newbie Olly Murs are this year’s coaches and on a 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.
After week one, Team Olly and Team Jennifer had two acts apiece while Team Tom and Team Will each had one act, leaving plenty of spaces to fill up on all four teams.
If the coaches like what they hear, they hit their buzzer to spin around and select that artist for their teams of ten. If more than one spins then it’s up the act to pick which team to join.
However if all the coaches fail to turn for an act they lose their right to see them – leaving them forever wondering if they should have hit their buttons.
Here’s how the second round of blind auditions went down tonight…
Kade Smith
Kade is a 17-year-old Window Cleaner from Leicester. He performed Otis Redding’s Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay at his blind audition. All four coaches turned and Kade joined Team Will.
