Week 2 of The Voice Season 28 Blind Auditions kicked off on Monday night with an episode that leaned heavily toward country music. However, the final audition of the night featured a standout vocal performance from 19-year-old Sadie Dahl.

Sadie, a manager of a sensory deprivation spa from Draper, Utah, graduated from high school about a year ago. She performs at local gigs, often hums melodies while working, and describes music as her ultimate goal.

A Family Moment During the Audition

At her audition, Sadie was joined by her mother and grandmother, Linda. A longtime Voice fan, Linda watches the show in several countries. At 71, she is a cancer survivor and continues to work as a nurse. Before Sadie’s performance, she offered advice to her granddaughter, saying, “The coaches turn when they feel emotion.”

Sadie performed “Colors” by The Black Pumas. Niall Horan turned his chair early after her soulful opening, followed by Michael Bublé, who soon realized he had been blocked by Niall. Sadie continued the performance with smooth runs and riffs that prompted Reba McEntire to turn, and Snoop Dogg followed near the end of the song.

Known for her R&B and pop style, Sadie’s performance brought a blues-influenced sound to the stage, closing with a powerful vocal finish.

Coaches’ Feedback

“I hear a little bit of everything, and I see how you can have your way with it,” Snoop said, complimenting her range and stage presence.

Niall added, “I love how you never wavered—it actually got better,” and encouraged her to build a strong foundation for her career.

Reba described Sadie’s tone as unique, adding, “It’s so different what you do.”

Michael Bublé, who was blocked from turning, expressed his admiration for the performance and joked, “Niall, he’s good too.”

Snoop concluded with advice: “Just dare to be different,” which resonated with Sadie. She ultimately chose Snoop Dogg as her coach.

Elsewhere in the episode, opener Cori Kennedy delivered a country rendition of “Why Not Me” and joined Team Reba. Team Bublé’s Marty O’Reilly performed “Trouble,” showcasing his storytelling style. Later, country singer Kayleigh Clark earned four chair turns with her emotional version of Sugarland’s “Stay” and ultimately chose Niall as her coach.
