The Voice aired its second round of auditions on Tuesday, September 20, 2022. Tonight, Michigan-native Brayden Lape impressed the judges with his performance of Niall Horan's This Town. Although Blake was the only judge to turn his chair during the performance, all the other judges praised the voice of the 15-year-old contestant.
Camila went so far as to say:
"He's gonna win those young girls over, I'm telling you!"
Gwen called Brayden "cute" and "adorable." When she said that she regretted not turning her chair, Camila teased Gwen by saying:
"You have a new mom and dad!"
Camila said that Brayden’s voice could be on the radio, and called him Blake’s "secret weapon". Blake was very happy with his team’s newest addition and could not believe he was the only one who turned his chair. He said that he was going to ace his way to the finale with his new pop singer/songwriter.
The judges invited Brayden Lape’s family members on stage. The young contestant then revealed that all his family members were in sports and no one was interested in music. He said that Blake was his first choice for coach. Gwen also said that she would love to be Brayden's "momager."
The Voice fans were impressed by Brayden Lape's singing and personality. They felt that he was the "gem" of Blake's team.
