UNIVERSAL CITY, CALIFORNIA: Ruby Leigh's opening performance in the Semi-Finals of 'The Voice' Season 24 left fans questioning her well-being, as she appeared to lack the same grace and energy displayed in previous episodes.

Ruby omitted yodeling from her song, leaving fans with a sense that something crucial was absent in her performance.

Furthermore, numerous individuals criticized the 16-year-old singer for what they perceived as "screaming" on stage rather singing.

However, fans might find solace in the fact that Ruby garnered praise from all four judges, namely Niall Horan, John Legend, Gwen Stefani, and Reba McEntire.

One fan asserted that Ruby selected the wrong song for the opening night, stating, "That song is mellow, not whiny. WRONG song, RUBY."

Meanwhile, another critic harshly commented on the singer's performance, declaring, "Ruby sounds like nothing special at all!"

A fan speculated, "Ruby opening with a Bo Bice probably means she will not win, but I'll love her forever."

A comment from a viewer expressed concern: "Anyone else wondering if Ruby Leigh is sick?? She usually sounds AMAZING, and she still sounds good, just a little strained tonight :("

A fan expressed their thoughts on Twitter, stating, "Not feeling Ruby’s performance... sounds like she is screaming, not singing."

Following that, the singer fulfilled her dream of performing her favorite John Denver song. She sang "Take Me Home, Country Roads."
