With the number of spots on the various coaches' teams almost inching close to full capacity, the coaches on 'The Voice' Season 21 are being extremely picky when it comes to turning their chairs for the performers. So, when 16-year-old Sophia Bromberg stepped on the stage, little did anybody know that the young performer from California would get not one but a cool three-chair turns!

Sophia's soulful rendition to 'Heather' left the coaches Ariana Grande, Kelly Clarkson and John Legend speechless. The coaches were especially impressed by her ability to hit whistle notes at such a young age so effortlessly. Although all the coaches tried really hard to get the exceptionally talented Sophia to join their team it came as no surprise when she picked Team Ariana. Considering the pop icon's reputation with whistle notes, it was only natural for Sophie choosing 'Thank You, Next' singer as her coach. While the coaches are totally mesmerized by Sophia's impeccable performance, sadly the same can't be said for fans.
