'The Voice' Season 17 Knockouts sees John Legend compare Khalea Lynee to Whitney Houston and fans approve
'The Voice' Season 17 returned on Tuesday night and the Knockouts continued. We also got to witness this season's mega mentor Taylor Swift dish out some perfect advice for the contestants.
Among all the Knockout performances, the one that stood out the most was Khalea Lynee's heartwarming rendition of 'Because You Loved Me' by Celine Dion.
While John Legend compared her to Whitney Houston, fans couldn't help but gush over the singer who won the Knockout battle between her and James Violet on Tuesday night.
Khalea aced her performance, not just during the Knockouts, but even during the rehearsal, where she left Taylor and John stunned — so much so that there was nothing much to critic about her performance, just one small issue that Taylor pointed out.
It was overall a pitch-perfect performance during the Knockouts. Khalea hit all the right notes impressing the coaches and audience.
John, without a doubt, went with Khalea as the winner of the Knockouts and she is now on her way to the Live-Playoffs. Taking to Twitter following her performance, fans couldn't raved about the contestant.
They agreed with John when he compared her to Whitney Houston and some claimed she has what it takes to become the winner this season.
"I came here to say I definitely hear echoes of the Whitney Houston in Khalea's amazing voice. Before I could finish writing, @johnlegend said exactly that! She is quite gifted, a winner! #TheVoice," a fan wrote.
Adding to that another fan said, "@NBCTheVoice Khalea Lynee is the real deal! She just drove home a Celine Dion song! #KhaleaLynee #TheVoice."
"#VoiceKnockouts omg? Khalea! I didn’t want that to end. That’s #TheVoice right there. What a voice?" shared a fan while another wrote, "I just got the holy goosebumps listening to Khalea sing that song. Omg!!! WOW!!! @NBCTheVoice #thevoice."
"Y'all, Khalea could win this whole damn show. That was incredible! #TheVoice," wrote a fan. Another added, "Khalea's voice is amazing during the knockouts tonight #TheVoice #VoiceKnockouts."
