“Voice” Coaches Fight Over 21-Year-Old Singer After Powerful Luke Combs Cover
Season 27 of The Voice Premiered On February 3rd
The Voice show kicked off its 27th season with a brand new coach, Kelsea Ballerini. She joined returning coaches Michael Bublè, John Legend, and Adam Levine.
The coaches’ tenure on the show varies, but Levine has the most experience, having been a coach from Season 1-16. Season 27 is only Bublé’s second season, but he is coming off Season 26 with a win with Sofronio Vasquez. Legend has also won The Voice and appeared on nine seasons!
The Coaches Are Already Fighting In Episode 2
Season 27, Episode 2 aired on Monday (February 10) and a 21-year-old singer named Jaelen Johnston has three coaches fighting over him!
Johnston performed Luke Combs’ hit song “Where The Wild Things Are,” which reached the Top 5 on two different country charts.
As the song kicked off, he showed off his deep voice and country twang. Immediately, Levine told Ballerini he wasn’t even going to turn because he knew the singer would pick her. But, as she continued to listen to the performance, she wasn’t turning, so Levine did!
“I love all kinds of music, but I am die hard country music,” Ballerini told Johnston. “I’ve had ten years of putting out music in that genre, and your voice is unreal. And range! You’re not just a singer, you’re an artist. I really think that leaning into the songwriter of you is gonna be fun and I want to see where that takes us…Figuring out what the full realm of who you are as an artist, that’s my bread and butter, I want it!”
