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 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.

[@sweetsexypickles]

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.

[@jaceymarie101]

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

[@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!

[@user-hs9wh2qf7c]

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!

[@jaceymarie101]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@vickiebasu1080]

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

[@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

[@jaceymarie101]

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

[@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!!

[@keyondavis7241]

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

[@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.

[@dylansousa5571]

Mara and Claudia sound amazing together

[@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

[@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. ❤❤❤

[@aniyastanley3854]

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

[@Sexy_ruati]

Mara is so comfortable in this competion she play seriously and did so well

[@elenajohnson3562]

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

[@destinychibuzor3630]

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

[@samsunguser3438]

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

[@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👍🏽)

[@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

[@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!!! ❤❤❤❤

[@onehitpick9758]

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

[@user-qk9xo9ft9w]

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!

[@sweetwaterfilm]

MARA MARA MARA! WOWOWOWOWOWOWO

[@1KarateMike]

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

[@keekeemyfirstcat8410]

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

[@jaceymarie101]

Ahhhhh thank you so much!!! ❤️

[@taisad-h3422]

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

[@101tecman]

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

[@onehitpick9758]

Best so far. Amazing.

[@RavenT.Clayborn]

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

[@RebeccaBrunnerMusic]

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

[@claricegutmann7920]

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

[@chadtarver3301]

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

[@catwhisperer9489]

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

[@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!!!

[@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

[@mickeyhofmeister958]

Congratulations Mara!! This performance was 🔥🔥🔥

[@trinajusticebaker5840]

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

[@gurtalurt]

mara has that special, husky voice that indie pop fans go wild for. reminds me very strongly of bishop briggs or maybe lorde. i see her going far but i hope it all goes to lila forde. she's a little more timeless, a little more beyond-her-era, which i find so deeply charming.

[@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.

[@mariawaters1113]

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

[@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.

[@viantzpradz4771]

Claudia has beautiful face

[@toppytrendyworld8758]

The song for me doesn't really test how good they are vocally.

[@lorirose5343]

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

[@ryanquick07]

Mara's hair flip was *iconic*

[@colleenm8067]

❤❤❤Dusty ❤❤❤

[@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❤

[@joshskelton9369]

So good together

[@CarmenDeChristopher]

Go Mara go!!!!!

They are both very special...love it

[@Artemisinthecity]

Both so good! Loved it! ❤

[@suzannagibson911]

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

[@jimnayzeeum5428]

1:55 best part

[@artymunoz5060]

What a duo. Man

[@evidervishi__]

superior song choice

[@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.

[@user-hs9wh2qf7c]

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

[@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!

[@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

[@user-oh3tz8jy5b]

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.

[@bastianlarsen7375]

I love them both!

[@sadiebugcouture9148]

So Amazing

[@Susanarylander]

Amazing!!!

[@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.

[@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!

[@hannahanderson5658]

I adore Claudia

[@claudiabsings]

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!

[@cindynewman902]

Love it. One of my favourite songs.

[@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🎉

[@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).

[@anniemac2482]

Legend Team on Fire! That's TV!

[@mindyschaper]

"Two timing son of a preacher man." Ha, cute.

[@anitabreakone]

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

[@intothewoods900]

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

[@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.

[@ginapetolicchio2684]

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

[@bigguy3511]

That was a good battle!

[@DJDeenie-oc3we]

Great performance

[@davev3559]

John's comment were spot on becase edgy describes Mara perfectly.

[@triple_sec0]

WOWWWW!!!!! Such stunning talent.

[@theskinnylegends6339]

claudia is so incredible so glad she’s still here

[@claudiabsings]

❤❤❤

[@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.

[@userunknown1578]

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

[@ferhanmantar6388]

Nıall, He is a perfect person🙌👏👏

Great song and fantastic performances

[@jessicamazan566]

There both great I like Claudia

[@baileydarbro]

Mara can sing anything!

[@jaceymarie101]

Aww thank you!!! ❤

[@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.

[@leosilva7525]

They both clearly got what it takes.
