Ryan Mitchell's blind audition with "The Voice" was a really good one. In my 20 seasons podcasting "The Voice" singers, I was never as stumped when no judges turned for him. Michael Buble' admitted that for some reason he, "chickened out" and more than likely the other judges already had full teams and were looking for a specific kind of singer.All of that turned around when Carson Daly used the show's new "Carson Call Back" option. The rule is that he can only do this ONE TIME, so the fact that he chose Ryan so early in the round is telling. Carson knew, and many of the viewers knew that Ryan deserved chair turns. Ryan made the most of the second chance when he stepped up to the plate for the second time. Country icon Reba McEntire turned her chair, and the rest is history.Ryan would move on to the Battle Rounds, where he would found more success and now moves on to the Knockout rounds. Tune in and listen to the details and MORE. Support the show

The kid who used to freestyle on the bus going to elementary school is 30 now. APtheG doesn’t freestyle anymore. He writes and produces his songs, and with more than 30 songs out, now he’s taking his shot at the music place.He’s coming out with “762,” a hard-charging hip-hop ode to a gun, his history and his ambition. Like most of his music, the song is a story with bits and pieces of his life in it. “It was a lot of people talking about different guns. Other people were talking about the switches for the Glocks, and I was like, ‘I can’t get my hands on those because it’s illegal.’”The switches allow a handgun to become fully automatic. But APtheG had a Draco, a semi-auto that fires the AK 47’s 7.62x39 mm cartridge. Hence, the name of the song, “762.”Support the show

They say that if you get knocked down in life, get up, brush yourself off, and try again. This is exactly what Iris Herrera did. Last season on "The Voice" she didn't get the result that she was hoping for when no chairs turned for her for her blind audition. She didn't let that deter her, so she went back home and she worked really hard, using the advice and tips that the judges gave to her.Here comes season 27, and Iris is back. This time she came prepared, and like a well oiled machine she hit the ground running and stuck the landing. Iris sang "You Are My Sunshine" a classic song, but she slowed down the tempo and using the advice of the coached from last season, she made the song her own, which turned out to be a powerful and extremely impressive performance. Support the show
