She makes upThe Voicegreen room with freshly baked cookies as a bribe to get the contestants to choose her.
Her smile brings joy.
She’s going to go beyond just being a mentor and steamroll the boys around her.

Meanwhile,Adam Levineseems to be finding his footing again.
He seems quite passive.
Maybe he really misses his former mate.
In the past, having mega popstars likeAriana GrandeorMiley Cyruspop in, the aura was different.
That’s not the case this time around.
The chemistry is strong thus far.
That being said, Adam Levine is trying quite hard to find his newBlake Shelton.
The Blind Auditions continue on.
Kelsea Ballerini Stacks Her Team
Time to kick off night two of the Blind Auditions.
A Nashville transplant from High Point, North Carolina,Tatum Scottarrives, bringing everything country to the screen.
Scott is hoping to keep her legacy alive onThe Voice.
For her Blind Audition, the Southern Belle takes on something non-country with “Vampire” byOlivia Rodrigo.
She does introduce a twang into the track, but what shines the most is her pure pitch.
Her tone is pristine.
She’s got the goods to be a pop princess.
John Legend tries to pitch to her, complimenting her on her confidence and lower range.
She has the ability to genre-jump, something very important onThe Voicenowadays.
Everyone seems hungry for a male country voice.
AndJaelen Johnstonwill be the one that will shock the judges.
His father was not in the picture, but he was still raised with manners, he proudly professes.
He takes onLuke Combs' “Where the Wild Things Are.”
Everyone but John Legend turns, so the fight is on to earn the potential winner.
But Kelsea Ballerini gets her long-desired cowboy.
His youth is moldable.
His soulful rendition of “A Song for You” byLeon Russellultimately gets all four coaches to turn.
He has an old-soul sensibility with his stage presence.
There’s a richness deep inside that resonates.
But, when the baby-faced singer opens up his mouth to speak, the 21-year-old shocks the room.
Especially the heart-shaped spot on his forehead.
But let’s be real.
John Legend is the right person to mentor Battle.
Smartly, he’s Legend’s first artist of the night.
Jordan Allenis a family man from Kentucky.
With his Southern-fried voice and Bolo tie, the Appalachian singer comes from a long line of coal miners.
Even with music being his primary source of income, his side hustles include mowing lawns and real estate.
I think Allen may be the first to have those jobs become secondary to music!
We love to see it.
For his Blind Audition, Allen sings “Old Time Rock and Roll” byBob Seger.
He decides to join John Legend, likely because of his constructive criticism of his musical choices.
Ari Camilleis a recent USC graduate with a degree in theater.
And she’s not the only graduate in the family.
She takes on “I Wanna Be Down” byBrandy.
And, to be honest, Ari Camille is baby Brandy!
She is in the pocket vocally, grooving in the right spots.
Now, Michael Buble is a glutton for punishment, thinking he has a shot to win over Ari.
He even invites her to write her name on his arm.
Will Adam Levine Find His Groove?
We learn that this isHayden Grove, an actual contestant and not a new field reporter for the show.
Leave something to the imagination!
For his Blind Audition, the snaps lead to his rendition of “Mack the Knife.”
He’s willing to let him grow with another coach first before swooping in.
He sings “Yellow” byColdplay.
From the jump, his tenor is tantalizing.
Moore has a sincerity in his vocals.
Last week, she showcased her button with Blake Shelton soundbites.
This week, it’s herself singing her lyrics, “Yeah, I’m calling dibs.”
In the end, the Texas boy picks the OG coach.
It’s a match made in heaven.
One mentor is giving future coach vibes!
Having a father who’s a singer, mariachi is in the blood.
And yet, he steers clear of his Latin music roots with an oldie.
It’s a bit kitschy at first.
Even the coaches know something is off.
Butwhen the Spanish lyrics come out, Moreno lights up.Sadly, the coaches don’t turn.
Adam Levine and John Legend blame Michael Buble for not turning as they see him as the standard influencer.
He is excited to see him move around genres alongside him.
Ricardo Moreno has something special.
Now, his coach must hone in on the right music to elevate him.
Braxton Garzaarrives hoping to make his children proud.
The 28-year-old from Adrian, Michigan was inspired by his father to be the best father himself.
He sadly lost his father in the Fall of 2020 due to complications from COVID.
He told his son that the last thing he wanted to be remembered by was the way he loved.
Garza shares that he was the most loving person he’d ever met in his life.
While music is not his main direction, he knows that a chair turn could change his life.
Garza has an edge to himself through his performance of “Pretty Little Poison” byWarren Zeiders.
It’s time for Hickman from Dickson!
That is 39-year-oldSusan Hickmanfrom Dickson, Texas.
The teal-wearing artist is a professional skydiver.
Yes, you read that right.
She’s gone skydiving over 700 times.
Inspired byLeann Rimes, the country singer recorded her first album at 15-years-old.
Hickman performs “It Must Have Been Love” byRoxette.
Sadly, she is the first casualty of the no-chair turn.
Are you ready to rock?Carmellacertainly is!
The 29-year-old Angeleno sports yellow hair is known for her livestreaming her music.
She takes on a megerly stripped down performance of “Like a Stone” byAudioslave.
Starting in a lower octave sadly weakens her ability to connect off the bat.
She is ambitious but plays her cards incorrectly.
She becomes the night’s second casualty of the no-chair turn.
And by that, I mean which coach.
The Voiceairs Mondays at 8:00pm on NBC.
All episodes are available to stream on Peacock.
