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.

Im a metalhead, a classic rock freak, and above all,i have a complicated relationship with country. I cant stop listening when she sings, shes incredible.

[@samicharae5484]

Yo, same. Not a metalhead. I listen to a lot of different genres but very little country music, definitely not country-western. But this girl is just phenomenal and I feel like we're all privileged to be able to hear her gift. She's amazing.

This song is extremely difficult to sing. She nailed it with ease. Truly the most gifted young singer this season!

[@kauze_]

sixteen. years. old!! my favorite cover of this is chevel shepherd’s (also 16 when she sang this), but this was so, so good. not as captivating as her two earlier performances, but you know you’ve set the bar high when this is an “okay” performance.

I like chevels a bit more as well. Her tone just pierces through. Ruby's does as well to be fair.

[@TeriLaFaye]

This is what country music needs. Just pure and not overdone.

[@jacktupp4358]

At 1:50 she hit something I hadn't heard from her before... just for a second there... but it tells me she has some untapped potential. I already love what she is but if she can open up like that the sky is the limit.

[@catwhisperer9489]

Yeah, I agree that that was heretofore, untapped---and, I also agree that it was really coo!!! Also, during rehearsals, Reba wanted her to sing, lower, and she did, and it sounded great!! It was funny cuz Wynonna was telling her, one thing, and Reba said that she wanted to hear it, another way (that's when she said, to sing, lower), and Ruby sang it, like Reba said, and Reba hollered, with approval, and Wynonna was like "You just think you're so smart, don'tcha", or something like that, and then they laughed!!! It was too cute, for words!!! 😂

[@krisk3363]

[@wildredcherrycheri]

Chills on chills.. So good.. I could hear Patsy in there... Love it...

[@movalle22]

I am a big R&B fan, but also have quite a collection of old school country in my record collection. I recall in the early '80s before anyone knew who she was, I started playing Patsy Cline when I was having a dinner party. All of my friends, none of whom are country music fans, all stopped talking and asked "Who is that?" When you are super talented, genre doesn't matter. Very few new artists around now who can just sing a song without vocal acrobatics, background dancers and/or skimpy outfits to compensate for lack of talent. You all know who I'm talking about. Ruby brings her talent to a whole new level. Just look at the reactions of Nial, John and Gwen in this video. You can tell they are just so, so enjoying this concert. Even though she didn't win, I predict Ruby will be the first big star to come out of the Voice. I can't wait for her concert in my city.

[@jfbratman]

The songs she has been singing are not easy and she has been performing them with ease......crystal clear and perfect every time. She should win
