AceShowbiz - Camryn Brooks, a 24-year-old singer from California, returned to "The Voice" for a second chance after failing to earn any chair turns in season 21. Despite facing a health scare, Brooks displayed determination and talent in the Monday, October 14 episode.
Singing Maggie Rogers' "Light On," Brooks' soaring vocals and emotional delivery captivated the entire panel. Gwen Stefani, Reba McEntire, Snoop Dogg and Michael Buble all turned their chairs, culminating in a coveted five-chair turn. Brooks' passionate performance earned praise from the coaches, particularly Stefani, who compared her tone to legendary 1970s singer-songwriters.
Brooks' journey has been particularly poignant. After her initial audition, she was diagnosed with myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart muscle. The condition caused fear and uncertainty, but Brooks refused to give up on her dream. Through persistent effort and rehabilitation, she has regained her health and is now determined to make her mark on "The Voice."
Meanwhile, season 26 continued to showcase exceptional talent with other standout performers. Mark Shiiba's quirky rendition of Bob Dylan's "Don't Think Twice, It's Alright" earned a save from Michael Buble, while Beya's captivating cover of "Our Day Will Come" secured a spot on Team Gwen. Lauren-Michael Sellers received a four-chair turn for her powerful performance of Hillsong UNITED's "Oceans (Where My Feet May Fail)".
As the Blind Auditions draw to a close, teams are shaping up and contestants are vying for the chance to advance to the next round. Camryn Brooks' redemption, coupled with the exceptional performances from the other contestants, has set the stage for a memorable season of "The Voice".
