Jaylen Dunham and Jan Dan's Smooth Duet of "For Once in My Life" | The Voice Battles | NBC

[@adamsmith7820]

I'm glad Gwen gave Jaylen the replay button. He improved a lot from the blind audition. The replay button is way better than the block button in my opinion.

[@Sara86A]

I didn't see that. The episode ended and we didn't see Jaylen getting the replay button.

[@Mustangs73]

Agreed the block button is a bad idea. It takes the choice away from the singer

[@tonyparrish3039]

@@Sara86A They're not talking about the battles. They're talking about when Gwen used her replay button during the blind auditions when Jaylen didn't get any chairs turned

[@WhatAlex]

AGREED! It provides an **opportunity** for the artist as opposed to taking away the chance to choose a specific coach they may have wanted to work with. The block button always felt off to me.

[@jacobmccain8794]

I'm obsessed with Michael on this season! Him and Snoop are such breaths of fresh air!!

[@bohlalenchabeleng1370]

Quite good additions to the show.

[@makelifematter1896]

Absolutely agree

[@shelleyrobinson3392]

Yes

[@ElleVRosegetthepicture]

JAN DAN's voice is butter!!! Jaylen has so much potential. He will be a force to be reckoned with a few years from now. Their harmony was perfecto.

[@jaylenddunham]

Thanks everyone for all your support! Follow me and my journey as I continue to grow and Go stream my new single too young out now!!!

[@CYNSCRIM]

You gave a great performance, Jaylen - you killed it! Awesome seeing how many people on here love your singing, your style & your dancing! Keep going for it! I hope more people read your comment here! 🎤🎶💙

[@user-ey9wu1sr4h]

Not only a great singer and dancer but i believe you are related to President Obama. His ancestors are from my area and their name is Dunham. If you look up his ancestral home you'll see the Dunham-Goodnight sign and the story

[@josequirama]

You life and career is just starting and I can see an incredible future if you trust in your path!!

[@candiwyly708]

I am so proud of you Jaylen I will be following you and I will spread the word may God continue to bless you and your career 🙏🙏💕💕

[@LifeOdysseyMotivation]

congrats baby

[@matlabdiary]

What's amazing is that Jan Dan didn't try to out-sing Jaylen. He gave him the chance to shine also. A true hero

[@KingDez808]

For being so young, he held his own... 😮 They both killed it... 🙌🏾

[@arlenenicholeishikawa1149]

Jan dan is so so good given d perfect perfect song at d finals, he’s gonna win

[@pr3ttyfaceniv]

i love how pure gwen’s heart is!! i’m so proud of him! ❤

[@missyface5]

Jan Dan was incredible and a stand up dude for not overshadowing jaylen

[@mikemiers2580]

Keep your head up Jaylen. You have a bright future.

[@sherwood5427]

The older gentleman is amazing, his voice is wonderful. The young fella is adorable, coming from a grandma.

[@McKelT]

Jaylen two words…STAR QUALITY👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 there is something really special about him!

[@Ellaannaa]

Jan Dan is incredible. I loved both of them !

[@anomalyg]

GO AHEAD NOW!!! THIS SEASON COMING WITH THE FRESHNESS!!❤

[@lindaward6057]

Jan Dan definitely the winner but I am in love with Jaylen. He is on his road to stardom! I think they did a great job.

[@keyondavis7241]

Reba crying almost got me. Jan Dan was the correct choice because he is a seasoned vocalist. But seeing him mentor Jaylen and be like a big brother. Also, hearing Jan Dan’s wife is in labor and due just added so much emotion

[@KhaitsaSharon]

My first time to listen to this song and its beautiful. @Jaylen will be such a great singer.

[@RA82828]

it's only, so long for now, not goodbye Jaylen. You are a special kid and I know we will be hearing from you sooner than later. Keep the faith and keep singing, pal.

[@derekoverton3461]

This battle was one of my favorites!!! 🔥 🔥

[@TheLsd76]

I hope the baby has safely arrived! ✨✨✨ Congrats to Jan Dan! He had a great singing partner in Jaylen & an awesome coach in lovely Gwen ❤

[@ellybean7354]

The baby has! I worked with both JanDan and his wife this summer and have been keeping up with them on Insta. They have a healthy baby girl!

[@winnytanui9367]

​@@ellybean7354baby girl is named Gwen?😊

[@shingingmoon]

OMG....Jaylen is so cute with the way he danced on the stage....I wish someone steal him...this young kid has so much potential.

[@carolzielinski1337]

Young Jaylen Dunham, even though he didn't get chosen to the next competition. This fine Young man has a great future ahead of him. ❤😊

[@mekajohnson7156]

That boy is going to be a star!!❤

[@patrickryan5570]

That whole performance melted my heart

[@mandygarcia4872]

Jan Dan is a wonderful big brother to Jaylen his support is beautiful

[@CarysCreatesThings]

This was so lovely to watch. I loved the way Jan Dan was mouthing the words and encouraging Jaylen when he was singing, and the way Jaylen danced during Jan Dan’s parts, he just looked like he was having so much fun up there. And that hug at the end was beyond adorable ❤️

[@mitchelltaylor6917]

The most astonishing thing for me is Jaylen's performance. I thought he wouldnt have the life experience to embody the song, but he made me feel it regardless! Fantastic work little man!

[@MissLinz10]

Omgsh! Jaylen is the cutest!

[@brianchu8147]

I LOVE that you can see how excited Jan is for Jaylen - as a mentor and a parent, I know that feeling and it is incredible to see someone blossom before your eyes

[@elizabethilling9387]

This was so much fun and uplifting. You both did awesome.

[@debrasaunders8003]

Best year of the Voice ❤

[@bohlalenchabeleng1370]

That man 's voice is BUTTER! Smooth and Rich. 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@lfilipeoliveira]

Jandan runs is so natural, he is amazing!

[@arch410]

Jalen was incredible! I know for sure we will be seeing him again and he will be doing big things!

[@tinageer1604]

SO GOOD!!!! I'm right there with Reba...yes ma'am...tissues and more tissues!!! I pray someone in the industry swipes up Jaylen...that kid is amazing

[@marknaag2857]

It's a good experience for Jaylen. Your voice will still change and you can still improve it

[@joannaaguilar4961]

For once in Jan Dan's life he's a proud papa, congratulations papa Jan dan 5:55

[@SiriphoneG]

Oh gosh Jaylen is a little light… so adorable his smile and energy. He has improved so much and has so much potential. Give him a couple years and he’s ready ready. I hope he goes back to audition for the voice again. Jan Dan is amazing wow!! Congrats on fatherhood Jan Dan! 🎉

[@Artemisinthecity]

I thought this was a super performance by both of them! Really great!

[@anderra88]

Whow! Incredible! Although they were competing against one another, it was more like a complimentary big brother/ little brother performance. The big brother displayed hand signals to the little brother indicating when to sing and the choreography moves freeing the little brother to just concentrate on singing and grooving, which he nailed. Jan Dan, thanks for letting 14 year old Jaylen shine. You see how excited how the audience and judges were with your performances.

[@treesmoka81]

Congratulations Jan Dan on the baby. Great voice hope he wins 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@melusviclobo8969]

JAN so cool his voice so moving and his control so good, btw amazing song choice ❤❤

[@susanwest2522]

I'm with Reba! I cried and loved this so much!! Very special performance!💙

[@KasiaZ]

The young gentleman was absolutely delightful and I hope he comes back at some point

[@PaparazziPete]

Jan Dan ate this song ALIVE!!

[@WijinkiubouMatainah]

Uff this kid is sooo soo gud ... literally can watch him the whole year..

[@TenaL1971]

I love how jaylan's voice cracks a little 😊

[@cynthiaborah2348]

Great job! Super! I like Gwen’s hair like that, It’s so pretty!❤. Reba you’re going to make me cry.

[@anderra88]

Stevie Wonder first sang this in 1968. These guys sang an admirable rendition 56 years later.

[@bloohdini]

Gwen is the queen of battles since forever! ❤

[@stevehoy1927]

Jan was spot on with pitch and his runs. Jaylen was very pitchy, and showed his youth. fun song.

[@dannymorgan7252]

Jan Dan slayed

[@user-kj3ny4kq3p]

mister jan started singing and i was like sing boy you’re really good and then the little human opened his mouth and i got full chills, what a tone, so unexpected. great battle

[@candigram7143]

Love them singing together

[@seunajayinigerian1279]

Reba got me emotional by her crying, then I got even more emotional when he mentioned his wife was having a baby. 🤧🤧🤧

[@susieplog4434]

That was fantastic!

[@bimholard6010]

Good luck Jaylen . Don’t give up bro 👊🏾

[@addjosiah]

Jan Dan is incredible!

[@POObumpoopo]

Jan Dan's blind audition is the one I've replayed the most. But wow, he was even better here. That run Bublé is talking about sent chills down my spine. And that's not even mentioning his warm, round tone, his range and his control.

[@TraceDior7094]

I feel like Jan Dan held back his voice so it wouldn’t put stress on Jaylen and I respect him for that !

[@ginapetolicchio2684]

Jan was really good here and Jaylen to he's very young as well he's got plenty of time to make it in this industry sad he's gone

[@candigram7143]

They are both strong vocalist independently and together

[@sushmakanchumarthi7140]

Aww, this is soo pure!

[@BringMeHomeEbony]

HEY Jan Dan (I know him as Najee) I went to church with him and such a cool thing to see him on here. Btw, he comes from a SANGIN family. You should hear his sister Amirah! WOO! I cry all the time I hear her. lol Rooting for you!!!

[@cynthiaswain4070]

Beautiful

[@ezedoesit]

loved this, they killed it!

[@benhajruli8945]

Since the voice i love snoop even more he is a King !!!

[@felipehernandez511]

Man, their harmonizing where great !

[@doughertympd1]

That kid reminds me of MJ vibes. He has that energy and great natural ability

[@nyahgirl4105]

This song is tough!!!

[@roddy9617]

Jaylen..he just loves to perform..and thats cool.

[@roiespencermaraviles]

we know jan can do well in the battle, but boy o boy! jaylen exceed my expectations. he improved.

[@tml9174]

I enjoyed this performance a lot! Great song, a real blast from the past and it really fit these two gentlemen. If the young fellow works as hard as MJ did in his career, it's possible that he could be the next big Michael type of star. He has a gift, but is still incubating. Snoop said it, your voice is going to change and you got to figure out how that's going to work for you.

[@tresatriesit]

I freaking love Reba! ❤

[@roiespencermaraviles]

i wish there was save. but good job jaylen, keep it up.👍🏽

[@karolinnmoore2833]

Jaylen come back later on you got it just needs to perfect it❤

[@karnophent2582]

Slayyyyy❤❤❤

[@dinakennedy9304]

WHOA!!! So so good!!!!!

[@Xx.NoBodyxX]

Jan dan was my sub for bible class bro 😭 His baby is adorable! He's such a nice dude.

[@candiwyly708]

What did he name the baby

[@candiwyly708]

Did he make it to the hospital ?! I listen to the two of you at least 10 times

[@Xx.NoBodyxX]

I don't remember. don't think he told us bro. I have horrible memory XD

[@roiespencermaraviles]

gwen is really good at handling young artist or contestant. period!

[@dylansousa5571]

Jaylen and Jan Dan's sound amazing together

[@susankupfer3408]

Excellent!

[@simonmathew7689]

Reba just set me into tears..

[@heavydutysupernaturalchitc3619]

Wooow.!!!!

[@Expensive-op6pn]

The boy has got something. He needs more coaching and he’ll be a force to be reckoned with. Good job to both.

[@jaylenddunham]

Thank you

[@donnafontes4127]

Beautiful performance! Gwen picked the right one, ready now, but the young man will take this experience and use it to motivate him for future performances.

[@mindyschaper]

You can tell age and experience makes a difference.

[@ltdricks]

Song choice... Is big part of this competition

[@jarenciogeda3930]

Jaylen is so adorable and I know he can be better for more years to come but Jan is already there.

[@Gifttothew]

Not Reba making me tear up!😭😭😭😭

[@ConcertgoerJ.R.]

Jaelyn will get there, but I’ll agree with Gwen by choosing Jan Dan because he was confident singing it, a world class Battle!

[@123benny4]

I'm tearing up and I don't know why.

[@robertantonnyc]

Jan started out solid, pulled off some sick runs. Jaylen was having a bit of struggle, tho he's a natural on stage, just grooving. Jan blew the vocals out the water. Jaylen pulled out some good riffs. I was hoping Gwen would make the right choice.

[@Tyrin448]

Reba’s crying got me 🥹

[@cmgutmann9556]

The young boy, he's got some way to go, but he is really good, but the guy in the red jacket for me, his voice. It was just absolutely heavenly, and every single way.

[@veronicapalmer7272]

Wow Wow Wow ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊😊😊

[@weil9525]

I like Jan Dan alot.... charismatic. Jaylen is a cute boy... he just enjoyed the stage so much. But this song is a bit too high for him. You just gotta love Reba's reaction to the performance. She loved the chemistry and how the big brother is looking after the little brother..

[@KASKI91]

Jaylen is good and I'm sure he will go far later down the road, but I thought this was a lopsided battle being pitted against Jan. I think Jan being older, more seasoned, and having the ability resonate with the song gave him a clear advantage from the start.

[@user-kj3ny4kq3p]

gwen is such a treasure for this show

[@lancesmithmusicman]

Beautiful job u 2
