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.

I’ll never forget this moment. Such an honor to now be part of #TeamLegend 😎🖤✨

[@patriotprince9358]

U deserved it

[@charlettasowell331]

You deserve to take this ! Your vocal range and flawless falsetto will catapult you to the stars above! Kudos !!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🎈🎊😊💙

[@importedice]

Loved the performance, runs for days! Rooting for you!!

[@Elynne1]

You are AMAZING!!! Truly blessed by Yah (God). I’m so happy to witness your journey my friend! Much love!! ❤❤

[@sefutho]

Man you are good, very damn good. You are my first favourite to win this season 🎶

[@marcos7801]

Wow, this guy's vocal range is amazing. It went up, it went down, it went sideways, etc...

[@zeusarreguin3200]

This is the best comment I've ever read on any of these videos. Haha. But so true!

[@homerburns40]

It went inside me

[@marieaug9322]

Try Maxwell he did the first cover that this one is copying. Although hes pretty good.

[@xxocxgurlxx18]

His Christmas album is awesome as well!!!

[@ricogokil744]

Hhahahhagaaha

[@sdarms111doug9]

It never ceases to amazing me how many incredibly talented singers there are out there trying to get a shot. That was fantastic!

[@TB317]

Right. And these are 1) just the ones that tried this avenue and 2) made it past producers etc. SOOO much talent out there.

[@stephaniegriffin7176]

Especially since a lot of singers that are popular really can't sing that well IMO!

[@WarrenBridges-um5cg]

@sdarms111doug9 Because karaoke specialists are a dime a dozen. They have no leverage with the label. Kate Bush who wrote this, composed her first hit at 13 years of age and signed at 16, with full copyright ownership and artistic control over her work. EMI records wanted her more than she wanted them.

[@sdarms111doug9]

@@WarrenBridges-um5cg Wellllll, this dude has done Broadway, so it's probably a bit harsh to call him a "karaoke specialist" lol

[@WarrenBridges-um5cg]

@@sdarms111doug9 The term might sound insulting, but it's not meant to be. It's simply a fact. Did he write the Broadway musicals? The producers are going to fire the singer before they fire the composer. It's been done before. The business is cruel.

[@robertantonnyc]

starting with that clean clear falsetto. He has stage presence and control. Loved him really singing to the crowd and directing some of those notes. Such a strong vocalist. High notes for days. Great! - So You Wanna Be A Singer

[@Lostfiles358]

I love your takes for each performance every year!!!

[@imagenesypalabras1]

Since Chris Blue I can't remember someone singing this good I like it

[@robertantonnyc]

not in their falsetto.@@imagenesypalabras1

[@veronicafoley7492]

So agree; loved his falsetto also and his stage presence!! And I did hear some Chris Blue, but think they are both their own unique artists- that said., first performance I’m playing over again to re-💜💜💜 And John is a perfect fit for him!!

[@robertantonnyc]

I think so too. The only coach for him up there.@@veronicafoley7492

[@debrap947]

As long as he doesn't over sing and we get to hear him without the fancy stuff...he could win this season. Excellent talent! Chef's Kiss!

[@tomtom8786]

Yeah I had a feeling he was oversinging a little

[@allenjones7029]

John is definitely going to help him with that soft because he almost lost me but he brought it back in

[@balaynganiyebe]

​@@tomtom8786 this is an audition, isn't that the point?

[@patrick05Morgan]

How is he over singing? He’s showing off his range, vocal agility, and projection. That’s the whole point of an audition. He had the best audition yet by far.

[@georgegebhardt9687]

Yeah, felt like the whole meaning and gravity of the song got completely lost by him oversinging it

[@rachelalzate9915]

How was this not a 4 chair turn? What a performance!!!

[@fallen4jesus]

I feel so bad for him that it wasn't 4 chairs. He deserved 4 chairs!!!

[@Bigdrip840]

Niels was hating

[@ColeFamilyCo]

Neil should have turned out of respect bc he deserves a 4 chair for this masterpiece

[@dobazajr]

​@@Bigdrip840he likes him and he appreciates that talent but you can tell it's not his forte. He knew Deejay is for JL.

[@shamf9672]

Sometimes they don’t turn because they know they have no chance of getting picked over other judges.

[@alecreynolds6722]

This guy is a vocal powerhouse he has that voice that I could listen to all the time

[@surfchiik]

There are a few Select Souls on this planet that can even touch this song…HE IS ONE OF THEM AND AN ABSOLUTE SENSATION❤

[@brandi1669]

I Love his voice. He sang that falsetto like it wasn't a big deal. Ppl don't realize how hard that is to do. Bravo young man!!👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾💙💙💙💙 I hope he makes it far in this competition🙏🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@brynneholt1990]

Usher has a relatively new song that samples a Prince song, and he’s in falsetto the whole time - I can’t stand it! It’s so strained and screechy. This, on the other hand, was beautiful 🤩. And he sang with feeling.

[@WarrenBridges-um5cg]

@@brynneholt1990 Seems like the dudes can't match Kate Bush's naturally high register without resorting to falsetto. I agree. A chest or head voice would be more pleasing to the ear. Kate, and I believe Maxwell both hit a D#4 on this song. Kate's been recorded at F6.

[@candilunsford2878]

My introduction to DJ was through VoicePlay and he just keeps getting better and better. He's the king of falsetto runs.

[@Hannahbelleectere]

Voiceplay turned me onto him then I ended up going to a Hamilton show and low and behold there he was in the program! Boy got the skills

[@godmadesam]

His falsetto, head, & chest voice placements are beautiful! Great voice! Flawless. The transitions were seamless!

[@MzCharlieStar]

His voice and performance is off the charts 🎤🤍✨ Truly inspired! You can tell he’s worked hard at perfecting his craft 👏🏼Being a part of this performance left me speechless 🙌🏼 Go DJ! 🎉

[@theawesomealpaca984]

Deejay!! I screamed when I saw him, I absolutely adore his covers with Voiceplay. So excited to watch him on the Voice, hope he does amazing.

[@Molefhe_music]

He came to perform and he did just that! as he should!🥳

[@robertofiend1264]

I was first introduced to him with his collab with VoicePlay. Look how far he’s come. Amazing performance!

[@HeroShades]

Wow Deejay comes in and slaying this amazing song choice! That falsetto he did was breathtaking and flawless. I freaking loved that! I threw all my shoes! Just put this man in the finale already! I was shocked and impressed with him. Chills all around!

[@JLuvBug2]

This is in my top 5 fave songs. His perfect falsetto blew me away!

[@jacobmccain8794]

Immediate chills in 10 seconds😳! He handled one of the hardest songs to ever sing with ease and control! He ate that up and left no crumbs! That was a masterclass in vocals. The way he began with the high falsetto, then later decided to mix belt those same notes and higher, with runs 🤯. Also, loved how he showed a couple moments in his chest voice because he has a lot of power and richness there too! Just a rude performance 😂. He’s gonna be a threat. Team Legend is already looking strong!

[@cynthiacampeau6478]

#teamdeejeeyoung all the way! I had the pleasure of seeing DeeJee Young in Hamilton in Nashville last year, and became an instant fan! He’s incredible! His precious momma was adorable to watch, I know she’s very proud of this talented young man. Amazing performance!

[@briannaw103]

I saw him in Charlotte in Hamilton

[@debbiesmitherman9295]

Oh , the soulful smooth voice he has will draw you right in .

[@versatilechi]

The amount of times I watched the first 2 mins is crazy …. Nobody and I mean nobody has covered the Maxwell Version of this song LIKE THIS … Excellent my friend we are rooting for you !!!❤❤❤

[@curtisjackson3615]

Have you heard jaronelle version on the "4" and his version on his tour

[@daventunes3822]

The VoicePlay talent factory sends another phenomenal collaborator to the Voice!

[@elizabethilling9387]

Wow, I'm bowled over. Most of the song was in falsetto. I can't imagine having that ability. Wonderful voice and performance man. Cheer for ya!

[@lorietaitingfong8963]

THAT VOICE!! It makes emotional! Loved every bit of this performance. Could listen to it on repeat!!

[@carlahargrove688]

You tore this SONG UP!!! Every note I FELT… I had tears in my eyes but these are tears of JOY!!!

[@shannon6006]

This is the first time I’ve heard someone sing this who’s falsetto sounded like it actually belonged in the song

[@WarrenBridges-um5cg]

@shannon6006 Really? You think Kate Bush's 1988 original didn't? Although Kate's naturally high register, might not be considered "falsetto".

[@richardharmon9596]

An ABSOLUTELY AMAZING performance . Great vocals, definitely got skillz

[@patrick05Morgan]

Nial got intimidated by his voice 😂

[@DarrylJones-jc7wq]

Yes 😂

[@LaceStockdale]

Absolutely

[@AB-in2tj]

I hate when that 4th person doesn't turn. He deserved a 4 chair turn and he wasn't bout to pick u anyway Nial! 🤣

[@rafaelisslaam1894]

This guy is better than Liam so he wouldn’t know how to coach him anyways.

[@virtualxella]

I literally got goosebumps in the first second. Incredible.

[@maryannerazzano7692]

Pure , clear voice with depth and emotion! And that falsetto ❤❤❤

[@KayodeIge-ye6vx]

I was touched and blessed right from the first note. Never heard that feeling before. You are amazing

[@JJ-wj6ur]

He reminds me of earth wind and fire. His voice touched my heart and soul. It felt like an old soul coming out of him. Just loved it and yes so soulful. 👌❤❤❤❤👍🥰

[@TB317]

Phenomenal. A notoriously difficult song to sing with so much of it being in a high false, even harder to execute well while ALSO making it your own. Really cool and engaging changes to the melody, smart choices for when to switch register and build dynamics, great showmanship and stage presence. No notes. A, if not THE front-runner at the moment.

[@EternalSilence4ever]

Maxwell and Aloe Blacc (Mushroom on The Masked Singer show) both sang this cover so beautifully different. And this guy expands on that. I really hear Maxwell's voice though.

[@TB317]

@@EternalSilence4ever JeRonnell from The Four, also sang this song really beautifully. Probably my favorite cover but yes, all of these are incredible renditions by incredibly talented men.

[@EternalSilence4ever]

@@TB317 :) Yes! I love this song a lot. I think I will have to listen to the JeRonnell version, but I'll take your word for it for now that it's good :) Edit: Oh, yes, I've heard his version as well, but forgot. Fully agreed. Amazing.

[@shanispeaksnow9684]
