I’m a sound engineer and I work for a cruise ship company and I was lucky to get the chance to work with Nathan. He’s not only super talented but also a really nice guy and he deserves success so push for this guy

[@123benny4]

It would really suck if he wasn't a nice guy and became successful.

[@rachelcooper8944]

That makes me happy to know that he’s as nice as he seems!

[@amandlambangxa2618]

That deserved a 4 chair turn.

[@breeayeezy]

see how u got no comment cuz nobody is disagreeing with ya, i was so upset that the other two didnt turned around like i was cussing them out over here🤣🙄

[@oscarvelasquez2967]

Easy

[@Mr65tigers]

I had the privilege of working with Nathan when he first started on cruise ships and I knew his voice was taking him places all those years ago. Love this man and his passion, so great!

[@pearpenguin]

"You sound like you should sing on cruise ships" Simon Cowell's favourite criticism.

[@Jesura1]

There were some people who started from singing on cruise ships. I liked that he’s girlfriend is with him. Congratulations, as an Artist in this business , my advice to you is Pray all day and night 🙏🏽 Evil is very real and awaits for your Soul. 🤷🏽‍♀️👩🏽‍🦱 Remember who you are in Christ Jesus. Amen

[@tonchie23]

@@Jesura1 Jennifer Hudson started by singing on the Disney Wonder cruise ship and look where she's now ;)

[@noraalbright777]

He’s very good!!

[@movalle22]

He should have been a 4 chair turn. Nathan is the only one whose voice excites me on this show. Love it that he's from my hometown. Chicago representing here1!!!!!!

[@johnnicholls4774]

My wife and I saw him and his girlfriend Emily perform on a cruise ship. Amazing talent and continued success for both him and her.

[@70Sapphires]

Is he really rocking a jumpsuit, cowboy boots, and a 'fro? Uniqueness and talent - I'm both amused and loving it.

[@PhilipD10]

I went to college with Nathan and this is exactly how he always has been. "Is Nathan really wearing a Hawaiian shirt over a hoodie and shorts with sunglasses? Damn it, he's so cool."

[@imhereforitall9218]

If you were listening he did say that he wants to bring back the James Brown throw back Motown.

[@red-3c489]

He's gonna win the voice. He's the winner. Doesn't everybody agree?

[@YPE302]

First of all, I exactly agree with your opinion.

[@rachelcooper8944]

Top talent, but his old school sound, which I love, might not be appreciated in the way I do. Al Green, Otis Redding, Patsy Cline, Billy Holiday - I mean, they’re still hard to beat and covering their songs isn’t easy. He’s got that style and soul for sure

[@apprilleh]

Sometimes judges really can’t tell in a short audition, but then later on in the show they see the gifting unfold. Love that he is original and knows what type of artist he is.

[@Its_stupid_cupid]

I love how he keeps time by tapping his feet instead of his fingers on the mike! Something different and special 😌

[@judygatehouse8528]

The whole package of voice, energy and charisma. I don't see anyone better in the top 12.

[@ahc285]

Bravo, bravo… deserved a 4 chair turn!!!🎉

[@Jonathan-tk6qj]

Check out how utterly aggressive Nathan's style is. He's literally stompin' to get on down to The River. Extremely talented and a dangerous threat for sure to lyric battle! ❤ LoL wonder who Nathan will end up coaching? Not the usual other way around. It is what it is! 😅

[@ethanyazell3244]

I worked with Nathan in College doing Theatre. Absolutely phenomenal human being and fantastic actor/singer. So happy for him!

[@robertantonnyc]

hyping up the crowd and picking a groovy song that showed off his rhythm and personality. Great vibes and totally invested int he moment. Love those falsetto wails. Just great! - So You Wanna Be A Singer

[@veronicafoley7492]

Would be so nice to see an r&b throwback artist win this season after Mac was robbed last year😢😢😢

[@YPE302]

​@@veronicafoley7492I really agree that he should win this season of The Voice. Honestly, based on this contestant's skills, I think he should win this season of The Voice.

[@nsde5178]

i get goosebumps omg so talented

[@lucyeleanormoderatz8092]

Dang, are we looking at the winner? He’s incredible!

[@jujubean6917]

He’s my favorite this season

[@maroonpilgrim]

I like how Reba asked him about himself even though she didn't turn. She's so graceful and kind and always happy and interested to have the artists on the show.

[@Chanchxx]

This guy is going places. Most electric energy I've seen in a while

[@YPE302]

I hope he makes it to the finals of The Voice this season and ultimately wins.

[@elizabethilling9387]

Yesssss. Bring back Al Green and James Brown . Superb performance with power. I really loved it and look forward to your next tune.

[@Master144.]

Wow!!! He's got more soul than any contestant in any singing competition I've seen so far. Hope someone like him wins for a change ❤❤❤

[@tonchie23]

I was working on same ship with Nathan when he and his girlfriend Emily did their first solo show in the main theater. He already was doing the regular shows plus his solo show. Such an amazing person, always cheering up the people around him. I hope one day he will become famous like Jennifer Hudson so I can say I was on same Muster Station with him before he was famous :)

[@emilylickenbrock2179]

You should hear him do musical theatre, too. I got to hear him at a theatre convention many years ago and all of us absolutely melted. I literally think about him singing "Sarah" every time I meet someone named Sarah.

[@CruiseBear]

Love Nathan (and Amy) and met them last year on a cruise ship and he is really an outstanding singer and will go far now with this television exposure. Bravo!

[@CrystalCimaglia]

Nathan is UNBELIEVABLE!! He’s going to the TOP! ✨🤩🤩🤩

[@hriatdee1615]

Boy can sanggggg

[@sherrymonfils9342]

So far, he's the best as far as range, emotion, etc..yeah, he's got it!

[@joydavis4087]

Wooooooo. Top 5 here. This guy is 🔥

[@TB317]

SO dynamic and energetic! Very powerful and such a showman.

[@gameshowfanatic9311]

He got the Al Green vibe down pat!

[@TravFletch]

When he said he works on cruise ships I already love him, when you party with the crew on a cruise ship which you’re not allowed to,(found my way in there) they’re awesome people who go through a lot!!

[@Lexxiesho]

Groovy, Fun, Spectacular! Go Nathan 💪👏❤

[@venitawillis2210]

When I tell you that my Dad and Uncles rocked that style jumpsuit! This is so cool to see and his fro with that whole throwback soul is good stuff!

[@kathychiavola6641]

Yes he is going places!!!! My God!!!!

[@chocolatesorbet3436]

Nathan Chester is my favorite 🥳🤩 Nathan is a 🌟 star.

[@user-wb6us9hl4g]

John likes that 💯😎💃

[@victoriabaker4400]

I'm all for Nathan's vibe!

[@jimwile9313]

Great voice! Excellent stage presence.

[@mermaidofaloha]

John using Chrissy's cheesecake at a home visit, ooooh that's playing dirty! And it worked. He chose the right coach & the right cheesecake. Smart man & a great singer. I am ready to buy his record.

[@HeartFeelings.Sharing]

😂😂😂 Yeah, he's great!

[@MichellePachoud-dn9yb]

Yeah maybe but he would’ve picked him and anyway he was half joking about it. Literally he had to pick John because John was the best coach that sitting there now I was a Nial fan and now I’m a John fan but I’ve been a John fan before Niall came .

[@user-wb6us9hl4g]

He's good he so good he got John on his feet 🐾💯😎

[@edberry9299]

Worked with Nate at a summer stock years ago. Man has always had a phenomenal voice.

[@user-wb6us9hl4g]

John hit that Buzzer 😊

[@vanessahinds8320]

This season is going to be AMAZING and I can't wait to see what Dan & Shay can and will do!

[@JakeAdams-zr2bk]

I think he will win .

[@MichellePachoud-dn9yb]

He is a Great singer with soul 🩵

[@ConcertgoerJ.R.]

That was a great energetic performance and a soulful voice!

[@happyflower251]

Cute cute cute!! And talented, funny and self aware. Wowee.

[@bethanygross13]

He was “speechless” than Dan + Shay turned around. That was smooth 😏

[@HeartFeelings.Sharing]

He does look and sound like a Motown guy!

[@bayronsanchez8570]

I knew you were going to get what you deserve my friend , exited to see you shining 🌟

[@Dai.Goddess]

🗣️🗣️GO NATHANNNNNNNNNNN !! SANG IT🎉🎉

[@HeroShades]

This was a great song choice for Nathan to take on and he did a great job. Great tone and range.

[@RA82828]

Let me put on my big surprise face that he chose John !

[@jjsupremeorta15]

Went to high school with him. Did not know he could sing. Get it Nathan 🔥🎉

[@davev3559]

Just makes you dance to his incredible vocal.

[@TheDaexiled1]

I hope Nathan succeeds, I'd love to hear late 60s to mid 70s R&B Funk in todays music, has to be a live band, no producer tools

[@70Sapphires]

I don't know if I've heard this song before but I know he delivered it!!! I'm definitely interested to hear more from him.

[@krbcan1569]

I love the quality of his speaking voice. It's a good sign that his singing voice is going to be good also, which in his case, Definitely is

[@naomigreene737]

I enjoyed this performance so much. You got what it takes ❤

[@truly3743]

He’s got a nice voice! Love that he just came straight from his paint job!! 👍🏼

[@donnabuttery9316]

Lov this one....u could have the Winner John and so nice of Chance to endorse....❤

[@tammyd7785]

The winner has arrived I hope he gets to sing the song on Broadway it's my favorite song and he can do it

[@jamesAGarfield608]

*a front runner u can't call someone a winner it's to early I liked Ephraim for example last season and he didn't even make it passed the battles

[@kelamram]

Wonderful tone and range! You should try moving more around the stage to really own it and make it yours. Can't wait to hear more! ❤

[@olhuzzy]

Oh, I just found my favorite for this season. ❤

[@justinm.1]

@1:51 I thought Chance was gonna say “Dan & Shay” just to mess with John 😂

[@user-sf9wo5gw7z]

Just seen him on the cruise ship 2 weeks ago and he is awesome!

[@Artemisinthecity]

So good had to listen again! I am ready to take a cruise and dance! Nathan can win it all!

[@alex16798]

I went to high school with him and he was show stoppingly talented then. Just got better with age
