'The Voice' Season 19: Gwen Stefani turns for Chloe Hogan, fans say coach 'has the best musical ear'
Chloe Hogan performed a Jackie DeShannon song for her blind auditions on the premiere episode of ‘The Voice’ Season 19 and got a standing ovation from Gwen Stefani. The renowned singer wasted no time in pressing the red buzzer and turning her chair around.
However, coaches Blake Shelton, John Legend and Kelly Clarkson were not impressed with the young lady’s performance as they did not turn their chairs at all. Kelly praised Chloe for her stellar choice while Gwen said that she was excited adding that she is always on the lookout for someone who can do all the tricks but with just enough uniqueness that makes them stand out.
Even if Chloe failed to impress the other coaches, she got a lot of love from the Internet while a few also slammed the judges for not turning around. One user said, “I can’t believe only @gwenstefani turned!! Guess we know now who has the best musical ear! She should have been an easy 4 chair!”
Another added, “Chloé Hogan chooses such a simple heartfelt song and barely starts b4 getn a chair turn. So pure and honest, stage presence and relatability. She didn’t need to show out but she did a little. So sweet! #TheVoice”
One user tweeted, “Chloe didn't get a four chair turn, but they all immediately turned around for that white girl after she sang the most basic two notes? lmao Thank you, Gwen for being the only one to know real talent when you hear it. #TheVoice” Another added, “I feel the coaches are throwing the competition for Gwen. This was a stellar performance and deserved 4 chairs.
