Wyatt Michael opts for Team Kelly over Team Ariana

Wyatt, who has been familiar with music since childhood, is heavily inclined towards jazz. He was earlier part of a rock band called Chasing Avenir. However, he later turned towards Jazz and quickly became passionate about the genre. His Instagram bio labels him as a jazz singer and it further reads, “Inspired by the timeless legends of the past and the Great American Songbook.”

Coming back to his performance, John Legend said that his singing was “too spoken” and he couldn’t tell what his voice would sound like on other songs. Ariana, on the other hand, praised the crooner and said that she liked his choice of songs and that his voice was transporting. The Grammy-winning songstress further stated she could tell that that he was capable of more. When it came to Kelly, ‘The Voice’ coach claimed that no other singer sounded like him on the current season of the show. Kelly added that she wanted to sing with him in the finale with a big band behind them. Wyatt, who revealed that he and his girlfriend were Ariana fans, eventually picked coach Kelly to continue his rest of the journey on the singing reality show.

‘Kelly is a fabulous coach and you will learn a lot’

‘The Voice’ fans seemed impressed with Wyatt’s choice of judge. “Wyatt, Congrats and welcome to The Voice! Kelly is a fabulous coach and you will learn a lot.
