'The Voice' Season 24: Who is Mara Justine? Niall Horan and John Legend feud over 'American Idol' alum
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'The Voice' Season 24's premiere episode left viewers with a cliffhanger wondering who would steal contestant Mara Justine. Mara chose Team John Legend. It came as no surprise to the fans after John did a duet with 'American Idol' alum. Well, it's claimed to be a huge win for John as Mara is a skilled singer.
Towards the end of the episode, viewers witnessed Niall Horan and John Legend fighting as they beg Mara to choose them.
Well, it seemed obvious from Episode 1 that Mara would be riddled between choosing either Niall Horan or John Legend even though all 4 judges turned their chairs.
Mara introduced herself to the judges saying, "My name is Mara Justine, I am 21 years old from Galloway, New Jersey."
For the unversed, Mara is already a reality TV star. She auditioned for 'America's Got Talent' Season 9 when she was just 11 years old. And, she made it to the top 12 before getting eliminated.
She also auditioned for 'American Idol' Season 16 at the age of 15 and bagged the Top 14 position. And, now she's on 'The Voice,' stunning the music moguls once again.
