Check out the live blog for my commentary on night two of The Voice’s blind auditions!
The Voice Season Two – Blind Auditions Live Blog!
– The coaches are kicking off tonight’s show with a Prince medley.
– I’m still amazed that the coaches’ voices work well together…
– Adam sounds the best, to be honest…he’s got that higher range on lock!
– Countrified version of “Kiss”…not too shabby!
Haley & Leland – The Line
– Singing “American Girl” by Tom Petty.
– Blake is the first to turn around.
– Leland has a great tone to his voice.
– Haley sounds a bit nervous.
– Cee Lo, Adam & Xtina turn around as well!
– They go with Christina! I’m a little shocked! Okay, a lotta shocked. I pegged them to go with Blake.

– Blake is the first to turn around, followed by Cee Lo!
– Last minute turnaround from Adam!
