Blind Auditions The Blind Auditions began broadcasting 21 February 2025, being broadcast every Friday on JOYN. New this season is the mute buzzer which allows a coach to easily mute his/her competition and be the only one to speak to the artist. This can happen at any time, during or after the performance and each coach has only one to use during the whole of The Blind Auditions.
