Mara Justine and Claudia B. Push Each Other on "Son of a Preacher Man" | The Voice Battles | NBC

[@PK-bh1ww]

Mara Justine has been on America's Got Talent (at age 11) and American Idol (5 yrs ago) and now The Voice. Hope she finally gets her win and her time in the sun. She's an amazing singer.

[@MaraJustine1]

Thank you so much everyone!!! I’m so blessed and thankful! This performance was so much fun!! 🥹❤️

[@qoramusic_gh]

You are amazing ❤️

[@userunknown1578]

You were incredible!!! I can't wait to see your next performances!

[@imagenesypalabras1]

Mara : tu interpretación fue espectacular 🫶🏽 gracias por cantar asi. Saludos desde Nicaragua

[@rosalinaaranza3167]

I love you Mara hope .. God bless your journey.

[@tinahatfield8077]

We know the truth. We know what we hear & see. You belong on stage preforming & selling out arenas & venues. You’ve paid your dues & it’s time NOW ! Lord, let Mara Justine’s music career soar… amen

[@shaniagilharry8370]

They both did incredible. I see Mara winning this whole thing.

[@yanncoopman9757]

Same

[@slownoman]

Yes. If I had some money (I do not), it would be on Mara to win. 21? Unlimited potential, and superb right now, already. The right songs, the right band...no ceiling.

[@Publicist-AlexRosenPPoachers]

Yep.

[@corazonsims4110]

Same here

[@LuraVasquez]

I've kept up her AGT, AMERICAN IDOL, And now The Voice. And all of her KZbin videos. You have to vote.

[@claudiabsings]

thank you all SO much! we had so much fun up there and gave it everything we had 💙

[@tresatriesit]

So glad you got a steal , I think that this type of music is meant for Mara.. you both did so absolutely amazing. I can’t wait to hear more from you, you have a star quality but for a different genre!

[@claudiabsings]

​@@tresatriesitthank you so much! my knockouts song choice will make more sense!!

[@ConcertgoerJ.R.]

You were fantastic as well, and I’m glad that Niall stole you because you’re a good singer as well!

[@IndiaJames-j3y]

No you didn’t, you both have so much more inside of you!! Love your style ❤

[@burizaemon9305]

Keep on fighting Claudia..😊

[@jasonkline8061]

Mara Justine hands down! Her tone and all around Star quality! There’s no one like her, she is beautifully unique!

[@MaraJustine1]

Awww thank you so much!!! ❤

[@mercswifejl]

I live close to her home town.... I'm in Egg Harbor Township.... I'm so impressed by her!!!

[@gagakiki4819]

Just dog didnt have brain likes any one see

[@vickiebasu1080]

Mara is a firecracker. Can’t wait to see more of her performances.

[@jwitty1970]

Mara is a veteran vocalist, at 21… She deserves all the accolades she’s earned! Now- I’d like to hear some originals…

[@keekeemyfirstcat8410]

Wish someone would give her that opportunity to produce a CD.

[@kingkong98270]

She has a cd out. Ask Alexa to play it.@@keekeemyfirstcat8410

[@trinajusticebaker5840]

I agree,I think she feels every single note of each song. Their both extremely talented.

[@brandoncfejeran]

Check out her EP, released in 2015 I think. She was young. It’s pretty good and showcases some original stuff.

[@amberyooper]

I've been waiting for this battle, and I was not disappointed! I'm really happy that John chose Mara, and I'm also happy that Niall used his steal for Claudia. They're both very good in their own way.

[@musicrocksoffical]

They did Dusty Springfield so well. I was SO SHOCKINGLY EXCITED when I saw that my fellow youth are honoring these classics. Dusty was BRILLIANT and so are they. ❤❤❤

[@jennydeyoung8329]

Mara was my girl since American Idol. I forgot about her being on AGT at 11. If you haven't heard her full range look her up. They need to pick a song with a lot of range for the knockouts. She keeps getting better. Now has to be her time for a proper record deal.

[@carmenwilley8858]

It is her time!!

[@thestormlscoming]

Mara has GOT IT. She has this amazing tone and vibe that feels authentic and not like she's tryin to force a Janis Joplin archetype. She's a star. Can't wait to hear what she does next. Also, you just know someone's got it when they do the stank face when groovin. She got that music in her soul

[@samsunguser3438]

Both of them did a stellar job of showcasing their stellar low to high range! Excellent challenge to both of them!!!

[@aniyastanley3854]

mara is definitely my favorite this season. something about her voice is so captivating

[@keyondavis7241]

I didn’t know Mara could go that low. She is so fun to watch and I’m glad she won

[@Melina00742]

Mara is making everyone watch The Voice! I been waiting and watching for weeks, just to see her!

[@baileydarbro]

Same here!!

[@corazonsims4110]

I AGREED 100%.

[@charles6905]

I also agree Mara has something special.

[@evelynealcide8385]

omg Mara

[@mermaidofaloha]

I agree with Gwen 100%. Mara has something unexplainable. I could not take my eyes off of her.

[@userunknown1578]

She stole the show.

[@nathalie8319]

She has great stage presence, her energy all around I think

[@MaraJustine1]

Thank you so much WOW!!! 🥹❤️

[@jnush40]

Mara has been on many singing shows, including American Idol. She has that experience to draw from. She has grown up a bit since Idol.

[@dansp7042]

Her long hair, attitude, and husky voice reminded me of Janis Joplin. She’s definitely special

[@keekeemyfirstcat8410]

Waiting so patiently for Mara Justine to come back and sing. Howl. Wasn't disappointed. She ROCKED it!

[@MaraJustine1]

Ahhhhh thank you so much!!! ❤️

[@dylansousa5571]

Mara and Claudia sound amazing together

[@Bill_Landis]

They were both so awesome, I had to watch it several times! Mara has got that Star Walk, and Claudia has something also!! I've been watching Mara for several years so Mara is my choice, but very happy Claudia is staying also!! Great performance to both of them!!! ❤❤❤❤

[@1KarateMike]

Awesome job Mara! A star in the making! Stage presence combined with the vocals…. WOW!

[@AshSeaolston]

I never leave comments, nor do I hardly ever keep up with The Voice these days. I caught this battle round playing on TV in the distant background one night, and had to compliment MARA’s stage presence. Watching her felt like she’s been a FAMOUS STAR from the very start! I hope she goes far, bc she’s a natural performer and needs to be pursuing her life’s true purpose in music, as a lead singer and front lady! She’s destined for FAME!

[@onehitpick9758]

This is my favorite performance of the voice so far this season.

[@elenajohnson3562]

Mara all the way!!! She's got the seasoned performer moves!!!

[@taisad-h3422]

Excellent performance! Beautiful voices! Mara Justine…stunning!!! You go girl! 🎉🎉🎉

[@kinematrixgabriele3961]

Mara's a powerhouse at 21, which is unprecedented 🖐...She's already battlin' for the OVERALL WIN alongside other gals 😎😎😎 STAR QUALITY! (And ClaudiaB's amazing too👍🏽)

[@tinahatfield8077]

When Mara Justine is on fire! She’s the real deal. She commands the stage & she draws her audience in by their hearts. She’s already a star to me. It’s time for recording & preforming contract. Put her on tour.

[@barbarahess6828]

I am so happy the video stayed on for the coaches comments & the final decisions. Both girls did a wonderful job!

[@catwhisperer9489]

When they show the coach's decision, it is because the show has already aired.

[@Kyles000]

Mara really is one of the best in this competition. I enjoy her so much, and as for Claudia, great work, can’t wait to see more of you!

[@claricegutmann7920]

They are great as a team. They did this song, justice!

[@trinajusticebaker5840]

Your soul comes through in voice. So Beautiful. Pray great Blessings for you an Stella!

[@onehitpick9758]

Best so far. Amazing.

[@chadtarver3301]

Both wonderful. Mara just has something that draws me in.

[@catwhisperer9489]

Maybe because her face and body movements, are so animated.

[@RavenT.Clayborn]

This performance was absolutely incredible, and a beautiful performance! Two beautiful strong and powerful young women! Extremely incredible performance!

[@suzannagibson911]

They are both equally amazing singers.. I hope they both go through..

[@userunknown1578]

I really loved this performance... Both of them were great. Congrats on winning, Mara! Congrats on getting stolen, Claudia!

[@destinychibuzor3630]

Mara was everything she needed to be to win. Excellent.

[@marksowers5041]

Utterly breathless, they both complement each other so smoothly that they could both be in a girl band together. I don't know how to rate this vs. one or the other. Blessings to both.

[@mickeyhofmeister958]

Congratulations Mara!! This performance was 🔥🔥🔥

[@RebeccaBrunnerMusic]

Go claudia go 😍 so so so amazing bestie!!!!!!

[@charlescarlin5777]

Mara has definitely grown from her AGT days she was only 11 and now she's 21 hard to believe it's been 10 years already she can still sing hopefully she goes to the finale

[@AnnetteMinicozzi]

Mara was just awesome !!! So much depth in her voice. And stage presence. She reminds me of Janice Joplin.

[@jolenegoodell3818]

I think they should have her sing a Janice Joplin song.

[@hasankaracoban8953]

Mara is incredible ❤,I'm glad they both stayed❤❤

[@robertantonnyc]

Claudia is so easy breezy, great stage presence from them both. Very different approaches that both worked. Mara was kinda rough and tumble, an interesting heaviness to her vocal. She killed it when she let loose on the big notes. Who should have won?

[@debrasnipes7431]

They both have good voices. Is Claudia pregnant, though???

[@ZevMeth_originaljewishmusic]

I felt like Claudia had the upper edge in the beginning, but then Mara really came through! Overall, I thought Mara deserved the win! I didn't think Claudia would get stolen, as it was already 5:45 into the video, and there were less than 15 seconds left, but I think she deserved the steal!

[@jennifermarie3158]

@@debrasnipes7431 It's insane how some people were never taught manners

[@lauraba216]

There are great vocalists that, for some reason, at my age, I just have no desire to binge listen to. Then there are those that I get trapped looping if I hear one song, like Whitney Houston or Celene Dion, showwomen who sound even better live, and give you chills. Mara has done that to me this season. She has put in the work for years now, grinding to earn a living, honing her voice and stage presence. She is unique, extremely talented, and addictive. You just trust that she is going to be amazing. I relistened to her first performance about 10 times, this one twice so far (I wish it were just her singing!), and I CANNOT WAIT to see and hear more of her!

[@adrianajacobs3317]

Claudia voice is do pure and clear. Love it!!! She will win

[@JR-ce6gt]

Niall knows exactly what he’s doing ! They both were excellent but I think Claudia was more genuine with her singing ability not overdoing with stage presence. Kudos to both 👏 Great steal Niall 🙌

[@allthingswavy6420]

Agreed! I think Niall will choose songs for her that let her shine!!!

[@TheBandit84]

Team Mara for Life is all I can say. She leaves me breathless. ❤

[@lorirose5343]

Love this song. You both have beautiful voices. ❤🎤🌹

[@claricegutmann7920]

Girl in the dark blues voice is awesome shes the winner 4 me.

[@claricegutmann7920]

Claudia is really good too but there's loads of girls who sing simular with simular look n style. Mira is old school classic.

[@sharonreynolds62]

I love mara justine since being on the Maury show at 11 wow amazing I want mara to win this show because this is her dream❤

[@101tecman]

Mara was insanely Over the top ❤❤❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@kyledouglas1394]

Both very talented singers. Mara is a phenom. There is something about her stage presence that is reminiscent to me of Josh West from the season that Chris Blue won (forget the number).

[@joshskelton9369]

So good together

[@maureencgarcia242]

They are both very special...love it

[@lilachodan4941]

They are both so so good! Which one I don't know!

[@IndiaJames-j3y]

I don’t watch the show, only highlights. These beautiful ladies are amazing!!!

[@jazjasmine9496]

I loved Mara! And I loved Claudia! They both really won! So good, so happy! 😊❤😊

Outstanding ladies 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️❤️

[@worthfightingfor2299]

Awww that steal just made me insanely happy 😊

Nıall, He is a perfect person🙌👏👏

[@mariawaters1113]

I have been waiting for Mara Justine's battle!!! Awesome!

[@jamesanson7530]

I love love love Mara. Her energy and voice omg. Her character is great. People saying she’s doing too much pllllssss. She’s giving everything

[@evidervishi__]

superior song choice

[@ryanquick07]

Mara's hair flip was *iconic*

[@billv1072]

Both of them were very good 😊 But I've bee a big Mara Justine fan for a while now, so congrats! And I believe she still has a gear left. We have yet to see Mara at her very best this season, so listen for it. Our prayers go out to her mom.

[@ZevMeth_originaljewishmusic]

5:45, and less than 15 seconds to the end of the video, I was not expecting that steal, though she certainly deserves it!

[@leonardofernandes5503]

Mara Justine the star you are!!!!!! My fv for sure

[@MaraJustine1]

Awww thank you so much!!!! ❤

[@elizabethilling9387]

Song choice was ideal for Mara. Love her tone and edge. Would love to hear her in concert.

[@catwhisperer9489]

I'm sorry, but I just can't see her, selling-out, a stadium.

[@francinepalumbo112]

I have seen her perform at the Jersey Shore, and I can tell you...her performances are incredible! So much pure talent! Her presence and energy is the real deal. She can sing anything. She is special...and so sweet, too!

[@phantomangel21]

​@francinepalumbo112 I have seen her perform in South Jersey and had the pleasure of meeting and getting to know her. She's insanely talented, and yet so humble.

[@HeroShades]

I really enjoyed that battle! One of the best battles this season! I think that Claudia B. really stepped up and improved from her blinds but Mara was outstanding throughout the whole battle and slayed. This song was perfect for Mara but also a great song for Claudia too. Claudia deserved that steal so I'm happy to hear more from her. Mara was the clear winner for sure as well! She showed more grit here than she did in the blinds and I loved her diction. Her diction was perfection and flawless.

[@ConcertgoerJ.R.]

Mara’s my pick to win this competition this year, just something about her that speaks SUPERSTAR! I just love her man, come on!

[@MaraJustine1]

AWWWW thank you so much!!! That is so kind 🤍

[@ConcertgoerJ.R.]

⁠@@MaraJustine1You’re welcome Mara! I’m a huge fan of yours for a pretty long time, I remembered you on America’s Got Talent and American Idol and I’m thinking you’re a great singer and think you can do well on The Voice too, I’m definitely rooting for you on this show!

[@anitabreakone]

I would love to hear each of them sing this separately 💯

[@mecaangelabaliva1780]

Mara’s tone is so lit🔥

[@MaraJustine1]

Awww thank you so much!!!! ❤

[@artymunoz5060]

What a duo. Man

[@ghostanthony219]

That ending made me laugh so hard 😂😂😂

[@mic47013]

Mara has old soul ❤❤❤❤ she will be a star ❤❤❤❤❤

[@niharikakashyap6545]

Niall hitting the button with his head is the most Niall coded thing I have ever seen

[@itsjustus.itsjustlove]

One thing about john is that he always pair singers that create a diffixult choice. Yet it makes so much aense because then its the best wayvto weed out the best of the best. I would listen to these ladies as a duo any day

[@claytallman2301]

Third time's a charm been following her since agt and American idol now the voice time for Mara to be crowned a winner 💕

[@kathyadams5963]

❤❤ the song selections this year are SO SO good~with the clips I've seen on you tube..(I just can't stay up anymore at night, lol) these 2 were great..I would have chosen the one picked also😊 BUT glad there was the steal🎉

[@ginapetolicchio2684]

This was really good I loved their little dances and everything to very pretty girls as well glad they are both still in

[@baileydarbro]

Mara can sing anything!

Aww thank you!!! ❤

Beautifully done ladies, 👍❤️😀

Who's the drummer?! Man, he's gooood!

[@cynthiasharick5388]

Mera sounded awsome awsome on this song! It was the perfect song choice for her. She truly made it her own. Claudia is good but John picked the right one on this song. I'm looking forward to hearing more from Mera.❤

MARA MARA MARA! WOWOWOWOWOWOWO

[@sadiebugcouture9148]

So Amazing

[@marcos7801]

Both sang really well but Mara (American Idol) did exceptionally well with her range on the song. Julia, at one time, voice cracked trying to hit a lower note. Love the attitude, energy, and swag that came from both artists.

[@cheneethompson5756]

OMG, thank you! I KNEW Mara looked familiar!

[@Artemisinthecity]

Both so good! Loved it! ❤

[@crystalwaters2525]

These two could have a great career together. They remind me of the group, called Heart, but with better chemistry.

[@CarmenDeChristopher]

Go Mara go!!!!!

[@julsgero]

There weren't a choice, mara was stunning, amazing performance.

[@rkturty]

I personally though Claudia listened to John’s notes better so I would have went for her but I definitely see that star quality in Mara.

[@andysailaurent]

Mara from the AGT mara from american idol Now Mara at the voice Love more mara 😍😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@jomangeee]

Glad both got through! they look and sound from the 70s
