‘The Voice’ Week 2 recap: Miley Cyrus hints at being high while filming the Blind Auditions
It has been common knowledge that Miley Cyrus is a yoga-addict but the 23-year-old pop star publicly admitted her obsession for weed, even showing up “high” on the filming of “The Voice.”
In an interview with Elle magazine, the newbie coach shared her experiences being on the set of NBC’s long-running singing talent show.
At one point in the interview, the “Wrecking Ball” singer said, “When you don't turn the chair for somebody, it's so confrontational, and I'm really not confrontational. So then I get really embarrassed and I'll make it my fault—like, ‘I don't know! I was high! I forgot to turn my chair!’”
It was not a direct admission until she added, “All I want to do is yoga and hike, and smoke weed.”
But the “Hannah Montana” star said she is bent on winning “The Voice” season 11.
“I want to help these singers… If I'm here, I'm going to do it for real. I'm not acting; I'm not playing me,” she pointed out.
At the end of the second week of Blind Auditions, Cyrus recruited nine contestants to compete under Team Miley. Her recruits include Courtnie Ramirez, Ali Caldwell, Sa’Rayah, Sophia Urista, Karlee Metzger, Lane Mack, Aaron Gibson, Darby Walker and Khaliya Kimberlie.
Fellow newbie coach Alicia Keys managed to enlist nine singers as well: Jason Warrior, Dave Moisan, Christian Cuevas, Lauren Diaz, We McDonald, Josh Halverson, Gabriel Violett, Halle Tomlinson and Michael Sanchez.
Veteran coach Blake Shelton also got nine artists at the end of week two with Sundance Head, Dana Harper, Gabe Broussard, Dan Shafer, Ethan Tucker, Austin Allsup, Christian Fermin, Josh Gallagher and Preston James.
Unlike the other coaches, Adam Levine only swayed eight hopefuls to join his team: Riley Elmore, Andrew DeMuro, Billy Gilman, Brendan Fletcher, Bindi Liebowitz, Elia Esparza, Nolan Neal and Simone Gundy.
The last Blind Audition pieces will be aired next week on Monday and Tuesday night on NBC. Then eliminations within each team follows.
