THE VOICE Season 26 Adds Game-Changing Twist to the Blind Auditions

[Warning: This post contains spoilers for the Monday, September 23 season premiere of THE VOICE.]

THE VOICE season 26 did more than add new coaches to the impressive roster: The series also added a new game-changing addition to the Blind Audition rounds.

After years of the coaches expressing regrets after an audition was over that they didn’t turn for a singer, the show has added the “Replay” button—which allows them to push the button for the artist after they finished performing. “When the audition is over, you have a second chance to go back and get that artist by pressing your button,” host Carson Daly told coaches Snoop Dogg, Gwen Stefani, Reba McEntire, and Michael Bublé. The twist? It can only be used once per coach during the Blind Auditions.

McEntire wasted no time in utilizing hers: She had second thoughts about not turning for Kendall Eugene and decided to press her button to put him on her team.

Watch the moment now…

What do you think of the new twist?
