ABOUT THE VOICE
The four-time Emmy Award-winning musical competition series "The Voice" returns as Queen of Country Reba McEntire claims her red chair alongside last season's champ, Niall Horan, and returning superstar coaches John Legend and Gwen Stefani as they vie to discover and coach the next singing phenomenon.
The show's innovative format features five stages of competition: Blind Auditions, Battle Rounds, Knockouts, Playoffs and Live Performance Shows.
This season, the block returns to the Blind Auditions, and during Battles, each coach will have two steals to use. The Three-Way Knockouts are also back. This time, however, artists will select their own songs to perform.
Once the Live Performance Shows begin, the top artists will compete against each other weekly during a live broadcast. This time, the television audience will vote to save their favorite artists. In the end, one artist will be named "The Voice" and receive the grand prize of a recording contract.

They trippin she SUNG this exactly the right way!!!!!! It’s a soul song with acrobatic runs!!

[@TheMecca1234]

Niall and Gwen were DEAD WRONG about her pitch and song choice! She did Jill Scott's song JUSTICE

[@musikflyy]

And wassssss

[@topshelf6771]

They don't know..I don't even know who Niall is😮

[@TheMecca1234]

@@topshelf6771 LOL the shade!!

[@A_Real_CA_Final_Expense_Agent]

Agreed 👍 👍 👍

[@joemeldacula9317]

She was dumped by John in the battle rounds and was stolen by Niall. Niall was right, song choice matters.

[@willybeama1]

I almost thought she had pitch correction on because she was literally perfectly on pitch!

[@bernlin2000]

Such a challenging song too, AZAN will go far in this competition, her and Kara Tenae absolutely mesmerized me this season 🙂

[@bernlin2000]

Lol...apparently some of the coaches haven't heard this song before, how could you NOT turn around for this vocal?? Astoudingly great!

[@Christinegracebarnes]

They turn for people they could support and help coach. Niall doesn’t sing soulful music so he’s not gonna turn. If he turns and she picks him it would be unfair for her

[@DaHomieBiz]

In order to understand soul, you have to have some in you yourself. This is a perfect example. Gwen & Niall have none tbh. Reba & John have it. ❤❤❤

[@Azariah00]

Lolll that part!

[@bernlin2000]

Yeah...kinda exposed themselves a bit, didn't they? But guess what? It's a good idea not to turn around if you can't help a singer move their art forward, and if you don't understand their genre, than you're not going to be very helpful!

[@oh-duh]

Totally disagree on Gwen. But Niall was way out of his lane for such a voice!

[@angeleisharodgers634]

Big facts! Reba had the soulful stank face on and all! WHEW

[@catherinewylie6959]

This made me laugh in the best possible way. She’s so good!

[@Yugi96]

Azan was golden because she is in the top 12

What she did with arrangement was amazing

[@antoinee7]

I ALWAYS cry listening to her cover of this. 🥲

[@BennVai]

Jill Scott is such a great singer, tough to sing her songs. This lady did it amazingly!

[@NippyIncognita]

She is a VIBE! Beautiful tone 💥🔥🔥🔥

[@drdee552]

This should be a 4 chair turn all day, every day

[@DD-ol1pq]

There were absolutely NO pitch issues with this performance. All very carefully chosen vocal acrobatics which she nailed by the way!!!! If you don’t know the song just say that.

[@bernlin2000]

Yeah, not sure why Niall felt the need to dance around his lack of knowledge here lol. No pitch issues for sure, not even close!

[@TRACEWORLD2]

EXACTLY!! Pop heads need to shut up and get some versatility!

[@mikelogan8474]

Niall Horan has one thing on his agenda..WINNING..he knows that the odds of a black woman winning the voice are slim to none. do not expect to see him turn for too many black singers.

[@TheDivayenta]

@@mikelogan8474he’s googoo over Nini who does zip for me. Azan is amazing. ❤❤❤❤

[@Christinegracebarnes]

@@mikelogan8474that’s not true at all. He isn’t gonna turn bc most black people sing very soulful songs and he isn’t that type of singer so he’d be oh no help. He’s not being rude or hating them he just doesn’t sing like that

[@Blessing0716]

It's amazing to me that the judges criticized live singing. When recording a song takes are done, edited, and glued together to produce perfect sound in songs. She did that!!!

[@AllGreyEverything]

She really shines when she slows the pace of the vocal. Rich tone, fullness, and changing the color of her voice are all strengths that you can really hear when she can take her time. She's going to kill a ballad when she gets one and I can't wait to hear it.

[@TheBarryHarrison]

I genuinely don't know what's up with Gwen and Niall's criticism; Azán sang that song amazingly! Her tone is clear, beautiful, warm, and she added her own taste on it with some immaculate runs and even some grit in the second verse. This was the PERFECT song choice for her, nothing about the performance was "overwhelming", and there were no tuning issues in the beginning -- perfection from beginning to end.

[@evonnemc]

Some people just don’t have soul 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@weepingwillow2107]

She could sing circle around Niall l o l

[@TheBarryHarrison]

@@evonnemc No soul nor taste. Bland and unseasoned all day 😩

[@TheBarryHarrison]

[@kelvinalexander4353]

Yeah! When Niall said it was "overwhelming", my face balled up tight in confusion. He obviously hasn't heard the original. That young lady sang her face off from beginning to end!

[@Onlybridgette]

She killed it! Idk what Gwen was hearing but she didn’t clean them ears that day 😂

[@HeroShades]

AZAN is amazing! If I could give a rating for this I'd give it an A+ honestly. I have no constructive criticisms to give. She's the kind of artist I root for every season to make finale. That was PERFECT and FLAWLESS! She ate that up. She chose the perfect song choice for her voice at the right time so I don't get what Niall was talking about. SO YOU WANNA BE A SANGER!

Thank you so much!! 🤗

Ok unless they like edited what I’m hearing, I literally do not hear the tuning issues Gwen/Niall mention. She was actually quite amazing I’m shocked this wasn’t a 4 chair lol

[@shannon6006]

I really think the only reason this doesn’t have closer to a million views is bc of the judges comments. This is objectively FIREEEE🔥🔥🔥

This girl should have won the voice hand's down

This should have been a 4 chair audition. AZAN is amazing. What a talent. love her energy too.

How the hell was this not a 4 chair turn what is wrong she was perfection and prob one of the best I’ve seen so far. Ugh these judges be annoying sometimes 🤦🏽‍♂️🤬

[@jillmarvin5319]

I heard on the voice that they are bringing someone back and I HOPE and PRAY 🙏 to God like crazy that it's AZAN!🤩... First thing in the morning I listen to hear sing because it gets my day off to a great start! She is truly THE best singer I've ever heard on the voice in all the years it's been on..She has the IT factor!!! I've never in all my born years heard anyone like her before and I've heard alot of great jazzy singers🤩🤩🤩🤩❤️❤️❤️

[@kelvinalexander4353]

Deafer than deaf!😂 Trying to justify not turning when it's clear they've made a terrible mistake. If you don't know the song, say that. There was nothing wrong with her tone and it was "overwhelming" either.

Super jazzy, I don’t know how this wasn’t a 4 chair turn

That's a tough song and she did her thing. I do agree it didn't bring out the sweet spot in her voice, but John will help with that.

When you hear people talk crazy that are supposed to be "so-called" superstars/experts but above all musicians say something they shouldn't about pitch or "tuning stuff" or song choice it should tell you something! Not who you thought the were but popularity has never been about talent!!

[@patrickherron502]

Amazing voice sing it my Beautiful Sister

[@barakudawarrior7010]

Remember they stick together with one another and always have. They went against John as he picked up on their vibe. He got the message and so did Azan. This girl was so amazing in every way.

Amazing ❤

This is really amazing 👏 😍

[@JillofAllTrades14]

Really disagreed with Niall clearly he’s never heard Jill Scott music she respected the original and made it her own tastefully with passion because it’s an audition they don’t say that when someone sings a rock song but it’s overwhelming because we can do it all

[@vokalvokal8641]

SHE BETTER SAAAAANNGGGGGGGGGGGG GYAT DAMN!

I don't understand why they sent her home.. I clearly thought the show was about who has the best voice,but apparently not..Then why is it called The Voice????????

What did Niall mean about the song choice? Does he not know Jill Scott? That was kind of a weird thing to say. Golden is a great showcase for a great singer.

[@kjscott14]

This was hard for me because all I hear is Jill Scott. There are artist that I have a hard time hearing someone else sing and Jill is one of them

[@Mia-fm5uh]

That's why these younger artist music is so simple. They're ears can't handle the complicated version.

[@ZevMeth_originaljewishmusic]

I'm so confused, where in this video did any of the coaches mention H-Town vibes with regards to her performance?

[@TRACEWORLD2]

Niall and Gwen's comments where short-sighted and inappropriate! Revealed a lot about them. This girl was Soulful, creative and Incredibly refreshing! She probably should have picked Reba though to be a standout on her team. And for some crossover influence IMO

[@92You.]

I mean......WOW!!!! Jill should be so proud

[@NIKKI_NASH]

Yeah Niall absolutely did not know what he was talking about. She did NOT have any pitch problems. She sung that flawlessly. Then a little later Niall & Gwen turned around for someone that absolutely DID have pitch problems. And Niall told that girl that he knew it was just her nerves kicking in 🙄. I’m not sure what his deal is but I’m not feeling him as a judge. If it wasn’t for Harry Styles I don’t think we would even know who Niall even is. I wish Harry wasn’t too busy to have been selected as a judge instead. Sorry not sorry 🤷🏽‍♀️.

[@PS-ox3ni]

speak for yourself...lots of people know him for him.

[@NIKKI_NASH]

@@PS-ox3ni I said what I said. And lots of people is not MOST people. Most people know him from OD and he was not the star of that group. And he IS NOT a great singer himself. I can hear the autotune on his recent single. Must have been used to fix his pitch problems. Sorry not sorry. I find it amusing that a less than average singer was chosen as a judge and had the nerve to critique someone’s “pitch problems” as if he doesn’t have them himself.

[@kai-dp6wy]

I mean listening her alive might be different. Maybe he is right.

[@joemeldacula9317]

So you mean to say, you’re better than Gwen and Niall? 😂

[@Sunshine-go5zi]

Tunning stuf? Where?

[@ami2846]

I believe they pitch correct in post production for the blind auditions, maybe that’s why we didn’t hear any of the “tuning issues” Gwen was talking about. But regardless she’s a fantastic vocalist. I loved how she did this song.
