'The Voice’ season 9 blind auditions part 2 recap and highlights: Team Blake gets Blind Joe and Zach Seabaugh [Watch Videos]

The Blind Auditions Part 2 of “The Voice” Season 9 was a musical delight for the audience as it was loaded with exciting performances by the contestants including Blind Joe, Ivonne Acero, Regina Love and Zach Seabaugh. Read on for another “The Voice” recap featuring the highlights of the show.

After the Blind Auditions Part 1, some of the singing competition's new contestants seemed to have cast a spell on “The Voice” 2015 judges Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, Pharrell Williams and Gwen Stefani, by giving mesmerising song numbers.

The first contestant who impressed the audience and the judges was Blind Joe. The 32-year-old singer from North Dakota has been blind since birth. Still, he didn’t let his disability stop him from following his dream of becoming a successful singer. Joe’s performance on “If It Hadn’t Been for Love” by The Steeldrivers, made all the four judges turn, but he chose to be part of Team Blake. Aside from Blind Joe’s performance, his witty remarks also made him memorable.

The next contestant who raised the bar of the competition was 17-year-old Ivonne Acero, also known as “Melon Girl’ from “The Voice” Season 8. Unfortunately, the pop singer failed to impress the judges last season. However, Ivonne is back with a bang. Her performance of Taylor Swift’s “Style” impressed Pharrell and Gwen. In the end, she decided to be a part of Pharrell’s squad.

An increase in the turnout of professional singers has been witnessed so far in the blind auditions of “The Voice” Season 9 and another star on this list is Regina Love. Love is a radio personality and singer from Atlanta. A soulful performance of “Rock Steady” by Aretha Franklin helped her impress Blake and Adam. Regina opted to be a part of the latter’s team.

Yet another country singer to perform in the Blind Auditions Part 2 (after Blind Joe), was 16-year-old Zach Seabaugh. He left the judges awestruck with his performance of “Take Your Time” by Sam Hunt. He wanted to be a part of Team Blake even after Pharrell and Adam turned their chairs for him, too.

The other participants of “The Voice” 2015 are 20-year-old Evan McKeel from Richmond, Virginia, 26-year-old Ellie Lawrence from Calhoun, Georgia, James Dupré, from Boyou Chicot, Louisiana and 16-year-old Emily Ann Roberts from Knoxville, Tennessee.

Evan sang “Typical” by Mutemath, while Emily picked “I Hope You Dance” by Lee Ann Womack. Dupré chose to perform “Let Her Cry” by Hootie and the Blowfish. As for Ellie, she sang “We Don’t Have to Take Our Clothes Off” by Ella Eyre.

Evan is Team Pharrell and Emily is part of Team Blake. Meanwhile, Dupré chose to be with Team Adam. “The Voice” Season 9 host Carson Daly also revealed in this episode that Tim Atlas, Noah Jackson and Hanna Ashbrook are now part of Team Gwen, along with Ellie.
