Episode 2 of The Voice season 27 saw Bryson Battle step onto the stage, hoping to impress the coaches. The North Carolina native not only received a four-chair turn from the experts but also walked away with some compliments. Michael went so far as to compare himself with Bryson, saying:
"You might have the greatest voice I've ever heard in my life... I sing that song every night in my shows, and I've never sung it that good."
Before stepping onto the stage for his audition, the 21-year-old participant revealed during a conversation with the cameras that there had not been a time in his life when he was not singing. He then opened up about his battle with vitiligo, a skin condition where the skin cells stop producing pigment. Bryson hoped he made "little Bryson proud" by "wearing" his vitiligo spots confidently.
Coach Adam was equally amazed by Bryson's singing. While trying to convince him to join his team, the Girls Like You singer said:
"Only an idiot would be able to see and listen to what you do and not be blown away."
He advised Bryson to surprise viewers with his song choices and added that he was "amazing" and "unbelievable." New coach Kelsea gushed about Bryson's soulful singing. However, it was John's pitch that won over Bryson's heart. The All of Me singer said he made the song sound "fresh and new and exciting."
He appreciated the ease with which Bryson handled the song, saying it was as easy as "breathing" for him.
"We're truly blessed to have you on the show. This is why The Voice exists," John added.
