Karen Waldrup Fires Up the Stage and Coaches with Jo Dee Messina's "Bye Bye" | Voice Blind Auditions

[@debramailloux]

She has been singing for years always on Facebook, KZbin and is an awesome singer . She deserves this ❤

[@rockyrosemusic]

Yes she does!!!!! 🎉🎉

[@ChaulThe]

She does. I saw her and a band perform for tips at a bar in Nashville in 2015. She would take song requests from the crowd, then look up the lyrics online, sing and play the guitar. They were not all country songs. We were only passing through on a road trip and I didn't want to leave. I don't even listen to country really, but she can sing.

[@jeanmariepotter2239]

Already a fan for years!

[@charliecrackers4643]

She really does.

[@robertantonnyc]

She picked a great energetic song and brought the smooth vocal to it. Loved her gentle, easy stage presence, working the crowd and delivery big and small moments. Like she's a Pro!

[@KevinKevin-wm2se]

Been listening to Karen on Facebook years back...Beautiful singer / song writer

[@5150rm]

Been following her for years. She needs to be signed to a major label. Has a lot of awesome original songs!

[@steenrasmussen2371]

Wau......peopeĺ are afraid to show off.....she is not

[@clarkportugal8922]

yes she es the best

[@BryceKetchum_12]

The has a label out I think

[@donjulio4025]

Known of her for over ten years. She is head and shoulders above all the ones getting all the attention by Nashville jerks of today. She isn't pure country but she is a very good singer with good stage presence. She doesn't fit the cookie cutter mold that nashville promotes. Hear her sing once and you will always recognize the voice.

[@robinbehling1024]

Thank you for singing this song. It is one of my favorites and has always touched my soul. But tonight just a few days after learning a best friend passed away, unexpectedly, the tears won't stop flowing. 😢😢❤ 🙏Good luck the rest of the way you deserve this!!! ❤

[@khonichakre2334]

I just love John legend and the way he deals and interact with the contestants

[@Wingman115]

Good to see Karen on the show.. Awesome performer.

[@debbiesmitherman9295]

Oh, I loved her performance ! She’s so good and so full of energy . She done an excellent job ! ❤

Great performance by Karen Waldrup! Great choice Dan+Shay!!!

[@donaldcampbell5277]

Have loved her music for several years. Her music has gotten me through some trying times. Love Karen ❤❤❤

[@clarkportugal8922]

What a great presentation Karen Waldrup, now you are in the big leagues, I am very excited and with Reba you have a great teacher, you are the voice and you will win!!!

[@Jezidka]

Jo Dee is an underrated singer.

[@HeroShades]

I am a huge Karen fan! She chose a perfect song choice at the right time, was having a blast, she deserved those chair turns. I wish she was a four chair turn but I don't think John and Chance would know what to do with them. I'm just surprised that John said she wasn't his thing considering he had Bailey who was a country singer on his team. Karen has a ton of fantastic covers and originals as well. She can sing the phonebook and make the finale.

[@craigyoung4466]

Love Karen and her music, followed her for years x

[@carlhoward8610]

Well I know who I'm rooting for awesome lady been a fan of hers for ten years and she even invited my daughter to hang out with her while she did a local news show in little rock ....

[@bonniebostic6266]

Karen has it all! Great song choice! Love her energy, personality and that she enunciates every word she sings.

[@cathyclunysois]

She's gorgeous, her voice is fantastic, and I love her attitude. I hope she makes it BIG.

[@Eshabear1213]

I love how close the judges get a long so good. Especially Dan& Shay and Reba.

[@kauze_]

SHE’s country.😍💃🏽

[@ShowtuneSampler]

That’s a bad thing, though

[@mathewazaria1549]

@@ShowtuneSamplerthat’s you opinion. Not everyone else’s. I won’t stand for your aggressive trolling on behalf of your views and against others’ and I hope no one else will either!

[@jaelespinoza5062]

Shes so good!

[@HeroShades]

Agreed! I'm a huge fan of hers for a few years. She has lots of great covers like She Talks To Angels, I Hope You Dance, Harper Valley, Amazing Grace, Fancy, When Will I Be Loved, etc. I also love her original songs as well.

[@mathewazaria1549]

@@HeroShadesI’ll have to check out that cover of She Talks To Angels! It’s my all time favorite song!

[@TerriBingham]

She got everything right, her appearance, song choice, stage charisma. Star like quality all around.

[@martinmckinney900]

Well done Karen. You smashed this performance with a great vocal and song choice. I had the pleasure of meeting and having a chat to you when you played in Omagh, Northern Ireland last year. Wishing you the best of luck for the next round. I will be keeping my fingers crossed ☘️

I hate it when they cut-off the coaches hugging the contestants---Reba had gone-up and hugged her, too!!! NEVER CUT-OFF THE QUEEN!!!!!!

[@sheliad756]

I've followed her for years and she's an amazing singer. Hopefully she'll go far.

[@jessieluck2416]

Definitely voting for karen waldrup, she nailed it

[@charliecrackers4643]

She’s been doing this for years. She is a pro. Karen deserves all the love.

[@dylansousa5571]

Karen has an amazing voice

[@somefitcarguy]

Watch her already. She's crazy good. Hope she sings "fancy" by reba... she killed that song on her channel.

I like her

So happy for you

[@deantitus9734]

Hey Karen, great job there girlfriend!!!!! It's a damn shame that Reba got blocked by Dan + Shay, but I'm excited to see how far you'll go sweetie!! To think that, at one time, you were doing singing videos on Facebook Live, and now you've come full circle mamacita!! Best of luck to you darlin!!!!! MUAH!!!!!🙂💋❤️

[@supaflysye]

The voice usa is really turning into a country show

[@courtenayoeltjen]

Reba knew she was blocked before she turned that chair around

[@marcos7801]

Reba can't be too happy getting blocked twice. I could hear Karen doing a Fleetwood Mac song like Dreams. He tone is beautiful, and her stage presence was excellent.

[@ConcertgoerJ.R.]

To be fair, she did block Dan + Shay for an artist, so they return the favor

[@marcos7801]

@@ConcertgoerJ.R. Yes, I'm aware of that. Thanks.

Yo like this if y’all knew Karen before the voice ✋

[@topchef5050]

She was a contestant on “Platinum Hit” on Bravo in 2011.

[@mathewazaria1549]

I wish I had; but alas… now I know…

[@rrfields65]

Been listening to Karen on YT for yrs. , she should have done the Voice a long time ago after Taylor left !

[@tennajones1251]

Believe she could be top 10 myself

[@AutismSingsHD]

Dan + Shay: Sorry. You hate to see it Reba. Bye bye, bye bye my Reba, bye bye! Reba: Paybacks! Paybacks! John: Oooooh! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Dan + Shay: Welcome to Team Dan + Shay! Reba: Can you believe this? Chance: Ohhhhh! I didn't see! John: Vengeance! Dan + Shay: Vengeance is sweet!

[@korygraff1568]

Reba needs to hit her block button more that’s the second time she’s been blocked

[@user-bg3tb9lp3l]

So geil😂🎉

[@SagebrushRambles]

This show should be renamed "The Country Voice."

[@canadajane7993]

Country music is more and more popular nowadays stop the Country hate

[@dingusmaximus6859]

The one time I think the block button definitely back fired. She should have went to Reba, she would have turned her amazing!

Love Reba!!! Not fake! ❤😊🎉

Come on over and hear NDBmedia talk with her 3-1-24 @ 11am PST.

I thought jackie roar is back. Same style same energy :)

[@nameisprivate5429]

She was flat a lot in this audition….but she nailed the battle. She sounded like a different person. I think the nerves got her here.

[@malindatodd8423]

Giving me Jennifer Nettles vibe.

[@MaryChapman-my5op]

Why do they put on seasoned pros who are already well known? Seems unfair and desperate.

[@TuckyBlue_1]

Since when is someone who has a following on KZbin considered making it? LOL She’s NOT well known… she’s still trying to make it.

[@evelynfrederick]

She sounds just like Carrie Underwood.

Dan & Shay quit pressing block button on reba country is more fun than yours

[@ConcertgoerJ.R.]

They only have 1 block anyway so it doesn’t matter what you think!

[@petertousignant6566]

I think d&s waisted there block..

[@ConcertgoerJ.R.]

You misspelled a word there buddy! It’s not really a waste of a block if Dan & Shay were the only option for Karen anyway!

[@ghostpadstudio4702]

I've never agreed with the addition of the blocking option for coaches; if the show is really meant for the competing artists, they shouldn't have any of their choices for coach eliminated before they ever get a say. If, by chance, Karen felt her own career would have benefited most under the tutelage of Reba, then she was robbed of a tremendous opportunity (with no disrespect intended toward Dan + Shay). But I think it really became evident just how scripted the show is when in The Battles no one picked up Ryan Argast after he and Karen performed. Ryan clearly out-performed a few of the other artists who were selected to continue. I once believed the "talent contest" shows were mostly an exception to the worst kept secret in television about "reality tv" actually being heavily-scripted and creatively-edited. Now I no longer believe there is any integrity to these shows either, which makes me feel very bad for all of the artists involved (coaches included).

[@lisam6193]

She was flat on a few notes

It’s strategy, they wanted an artist that could’ve picked Reba so they had to do it! It worked out!
