JJ did not get a shot on 'The Voice' this season, but he was able to play a heartfelt song for the coaches. "Just the experience of telling my story - that was all I needed," JJ informed the coaches.

He brought his child on stage, and the two embraced in an emotional moment. Shay Mooney cried after witnessing JJ hug his son. "I'm gonna cry," Chance the Rapper stated. "It's a performance we'll never forget," Reba McEntire admitted in a confessional.
