Second Time’s A Charm For Newaygo Woman On The Voice
If at first, you don't succeed you try again and that is exactly what a Newaygo woman did on "The Voice" and three of the four judges wanted her on their team.
The Voice
I don't get to watch much TV but one of my favorite shows is The Voice. Of all the singing competitions on television I have always liked how the judges cannot see the person singing and the contestants can be any age giving anyone who can sing a chance.

The first night of the blind auditions had a few contestants with incredible voices and one of those happens to be from Michigan.
Woman From Newaygo Makes It Onto The Voice
I was watching The Voice last night and when the show was doing the back story on Iris Herrera they mentioned she was from Newaygo, Michigan. My ears immediately perked up because this is the area I live in.
I was blown away by Herrera's voice and approach to the song "You Are My Sunshine." I loved how the song was slowed down which allowed Herrera to capture a unique feel and show her soul as a singer. You see the performance and what the judges had to say below:
Herrera didn't just wow me sitting on my couch, coaches Michael Buble, John Legend, and Kelsea Ballerini were also wowed by Iris. Adam Levine had a face of regret by not hitting that button and John Legend reminded him repeatedly. Ballerini made the most solid pitch to be Herrera's coach and that is who she went with.
If Herrera can put that soul into all her remaining performances she could go all the way. What is crazy, is she tried out on The Voice last year but no coaches turned a chair. Herrera took last years coaches advice and stuck with it and three chairs turned for her. Below is her audition from 2024:
