'The Voice' Season 19: Tamara Jade gets first 4-chair turn, fans declare they will 'riot' if she doesn't win show

In less than a minute of appearing on the stage, Tamara Jade had John Legend and Kelly Clarkson fighting over her

The previous season of 'The Voice' saw the first contestant to show up at the blind audition to win the show, so we were also excitedly waiting to see who the first contestant would be. While coaches, John Legend, Blake Shelton, Gwen Stefani, and Kelly Clarkson, were explaining about how the current season of the reality show is different compared to the earlier seasons, thanks to the pandemic, Tamara Jade, the first contestant was getting ready to knock the socks off the coaches' feet.

In her introduction video, Tamara spoke about her Jamaican roots and how her grandmother moved to America to provide a better life for her family. Tamara wore her Caribbean culture proudly on her sleeve and didn't hesitate to declare that she wanted to make her family and people happy. After setting the expectation sky-high, Tamara walked onto the stage for her blind audition and began belting out Lizzo's ' Cuz I love you'. Tamara had barely begun singing when Kelly's chair turned, John soon followed her suit. Both the coaches stood up and began cheering for Tamara's incredible vocals.

By the end of her performance, she managed to get the other two judges' chair turns too! Kelly immediately declared that she would see Tamara in the finals and can't wait to coach her. While John tried swaying Tamara his way by praising her incredible performance, which he felt was extremely graceful and how it looked effortless. Blake and Gwen too praised the contestant's performance. With all the four coaches vying to get Tamara on their team, the contestant smartly decided to join John's team. When Kelly heard Tamara's choice, she expressed how it hurt her, but also was excited to see the contestant's future performances.

Fans too were beyond impressed with Tamara's performance and are already rooting for her to win the competition. A fan tweeted, "Yall watch out bc Tamara is taking over this season!!! #TheVoice."
