THE VOICE -- “The Playoffs Part 2” Episode 2816 -- Pictured: Yoshihanaa -- (Photo by: Casey Durkin/NBC)
One of Season 28’s standout artists on The Voice is Yoshihanaa. She started off the Blinds with a four-chair turn (thanks to a standout rendition of Deborah Cox’s “Nobody’s Supposed To Be Here”) before choosing Snoop Dogg as her coach. She performs tonight on the Playoffs as she aims to advance to the Lives. Although this Yoshihanaa interview occured right after The Blinds (my fault!), the interview does have some evergreen content. Check out our full interview with Yoshihanaa below!
Dek of Hearts jumped out of the gate on The Voice by picking Niall Horan as their coach. The group received a four chair turn on The Blinds and were expected to go with Reba McEntire, and their decision led McEntire to jokingly fall to the floor. I asked Dek of Hearts about that moment during the interview and the group also talked about how their faith and transparency with each other has led to the group’s success.
