UNIVERSAL CITY, CALIFORNIA: 'The Voice' Season 24 singer Colby Cobb failed to bag any chair turn, with judges calling his voice soft and shaky. However, the coaches wished the budding singer all the best and asked him to come audition again in the future.

Colby, who calls himself a "musician", recently released his first single 'Make Believe'. As of now, the 19-year-old singer is currently studying at Baylor University.

Besides being a student, Colby is also working on getting small gigs by performing at art shows. 

Colby still seems to have a long way to go in his music career. As of now, he has around 2K followers on social media. 

Niall Horan believed Colby's performance was "dreamy." He claimed the singer "was sitting so far behind the beat" that he couldn't keep up with the pitch.

However, Niall begged Colby to come back next season. Reba McEntire, on the other hand, claimed, "Please come back again." Gwen Stefani chose not to press the button despite calling Colby's voice one of her favorites.

Despite audiences cheering and clapping for Colby, 'The Voice' Season 24 coaches chose not to turn around their chairs. Even though Gwen Stefani claimed Colby's voice to be "one of her favorite", she refused to press the button for the singer.

She claimed, "Your [Colby] tone and your natural style and instinct is so so pretty beautiful."

Seeing no chair turn around shocked the fans. One commented, "I can't believe they didn't turn for him He was so good!!" Another shocked fan wrote, "I can't believe the coaches didnt turn,he has an amazing voice."

Another called out the coaches, "I guess the coaches don't actually feel like coaching lol they're cherry-picking."
