Round three of ‘The Voice’ season 21 blind auditions held on Monday, September 27 left the viewers asking for more after Holly Forbes’ audition got a four-chair turn but the episode ended without showing whom the singer picked as her coach. Settling all things first, the round four of ‘The Voice’ blinds held on Tuesday, September 28 kicked off with Holly Forbes making her final decision.
 
The Kentucky-based mother of two had serenaded the judges with her rendition of Elton John’s iconic song ‘Rocket Man’. Holly Forbes’ audition was full of twists and turns as we witnessed Ariana Grande blocking John Legend to make sure the latter doesn’t get to bag the very talented singer. Ariana got lucky with the block as she had turned only a millisecond before John Legend pressed the red buzzer to turn around his big red chair. Kelly Clarkson and Blake Shelton too ended up turning around giving Holly the deserving four-chair turn.
