A young woman wowed with her cover of a for KING & COUNTRY hit and earned herself the rare four-chair turn. Some of the biggest names in music were blown away by her audition, quickly flipping their chairs around for her. Watch the short but jaw-dropping clip to hear her dazzle with her stunning performance of for KING & COUNTRY’s “God Only Knows” on The Voice.
Like American Idol and America’s Got Talent, The Voice is an immensely popular talent-based competition program. However, unlike those others, the judges on The Voice are literally facing away from those auditioning. The only thing that will cause any of the show’s four judges will be the aspiring musician’s talent.
Judges literally have no idea what the contestants look like and have not heard their backstory or reason for trying out for The Voice. That information comes out after their audition, following the judges’ decision. Those hopefuls must first cause at least one of the four judges to sit up and take notice of their incredible talent. In a clip posted on YouTube, one young woman did much more than that, causing all four judges to turn their chairs around for her almost immediately.
Kirbi, a 24-year-old woman from Alabama, beautifully performed for KING & COUNTRY’s “God Only Knows.” As the first notes left her mouth, Niall Horan and Michael Bublé seemed intrigued and impressed with what they were hearing, both hitting their buttons simultaneously. Reba McEntire and Snoop Dogg weren’t far behind, flipping their chairs around for the young woman, hoping to add her to their team.
Following her dazzling audition, Kirbi mentioned some of her motivations and reasons for selecting “God Only Knows” as her audition song.
“But my faith is a big part of who I am, too,” she said. “So, I was so excited to come on here and share that with you guys.”
Michael, during his assessment of her performance, mentioned faith as well.
“Hi, Kirbi,” Michael said. “I’m Michael. My faith is really important to me, too. I love that you chose that song. I love your control. I love your tone. I feel like if I turned on the radio and I heard you, I would know it was Kirbi.”
Colossians 3:16 “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”
