The Voice Season 26 Episode 6 recap: country singer Katie O and Jose Luis earn a four-chair turn

The Voice aired its final night of Blind Auditions for Season 26 on October 15, 2024. Coaches Michael Buble, Snoop Dogg, Reba McEntire, and Gwen Stefani of The Voice finished Part 6 of the blind audition stage. With only a few spots remaining on each coach's team, the competition became more intense as the coaches sought to complete their rosters.

Initially, Michael had three slots available on his team, leaving the other three teams with two spots each to occupy. Over the course of the evening, one artist took up each of those slots, and the four coaches finished their teams of 14.

Notably, two artists, country singer Katie O and pop artist, Jose Luis, from Puerto Rico, impressed all four judges and earned coveted four-chair turns. Gwen Stefani was the first coach to fill her team after Jose Luis chose her, while Katie O, with her impressive country performance, joined Reba McEntire’s team.

Four-chair turns in the Blind Auditions of The Voice

Katie O, an 18-year-old from Jacksonville, Florida, captivated the judges with her rendition of One Way Ticket (Because I Can) by LeAnn Rimes. Her country sound earned her a four-chair turn, and she ultimately chose to join Team Reba.

Reba McEntire, a country music legend, welcomed the singer with open arms, making Katie O her third artist this season to receive a four-chair turn.

Meanwhile, Jose Luis, a pop artist from Puerto Rico, also garnered attention from all four judges with his emotional performance of traitor. Jose shared his struggles of fitting into societal norms and expressed his passion for music and fashion.

His connection with Gwen Stefani, another artist who values self-expression, led him to join Team Gwen, completing her team as the first coach to do so.

In episode 6 of The Voice, coaches, Gwen Stefani, Reba McEntire, Snoop Dogg, and Michael Bublé, each had just a handful of spots remaining on their teams when the Blind Auditions came to an end.

New coach Michael Bublé also filled his team with a blend of diverse voices, including Cassidy Lee, a returning artist from Season 18. Cassidy performed Linda Ronstadt's You're No Good and impressed Michael with her growth since her first audition.

Other standout artists joining his team included Aliyah Khaylyn, a music therapy student whose emotional performance of Love and War by Tamar Braxton won over Bublé, filling his final spot.

Snoop Dogg, in his first season as a coach, completed his team by adding Mikaela Ayira, a singer-songwriter, and Suede Lacy, an artist whose rendition of Redbone by Childish Gambino captivated Snoop's attention.
