Hello everyone, @_TheVoiceScratch_ here :) Just wanna get started off here by saying I am so so so very extremely and incredibly sorry for ditching this account and the competition for 5 whole months...I feel terrible for leaving you guys. Let me explain...so basically sometime in late January 2026 during Season 2 Round 1, I was trying to log in to check messages and new auditions but Scratch left me a message saying it couldn't log me in because I had been suspended from my account (banned basicallly) for a few days. I tried logging back in but it was glitchy and not letting me. The ban should have been up but it was glitching so I contacted the Scratch Team and I had no response. After that I gave up trying to log in, and forgot all about this account and that I was doing this competition in the first place. But them, around 5 months later I had a rememberance or something like that, that I was doing this so I tried logging in (trying multiple possible passwords because lwk forgot the password). But I finally got it, I logged back in and had 100+ confused messages. Answered them and now here we are today. I originally was going to just continue Season 2 with the contestants that are still active on Scratch but @BeachyDrink and @hart_singing (the two wonderful guest judges) suggested that it was a better idea to just scratch (get it lol?) all of Season 2 so far and just restart it completely with brand new contestants. I honestly thought it was a good idea to just start anew so that's what we're doing officially for the "new" Season 2 of The Voice Scratch. The "new" Season 2 auditions will be out August 16th, 2026!! Again, I am so so sorry for going on a 5 month "accidental" HIATUS but I'm back now and ready to start a new Season 2 :) Thanks so much for understanding guys! - @_TheVoiceScratch_
