In singing competitions, song choice can truly make or break an audition, which is something that last night’s voice contestant, Hunter Jordan, mastered perfectly. Entering into the second week of Blind Auditions, season 29 of The Voice returned for its Monday night slot at 9/8c on NBC. Continuing with its high-octane three-celebrity panel, competing in what the show has deemed the “Battle of Champions,” coaches Kelly Clarkson, Adam Levine, and John Legend have been vying for contestants who get a 3-chair turn-around.
