ABOUT THE VOICE
The four-time Emmy Award-winning musical competition series "The Voice" returns as Queen of Country Reba McEntire claims her red chair alongside last season's champ, Niall Horan, and returning superstar coaches John Legend and Gwen Stefani as they vie to discover and coach the next singing phenomenon.

The show's innovative format features five stages of competition: Blind Auditions, Battle Rounds, Knockouts, Playoffs and Live Performance Shows.

This season, the block returns to the Blind Auditions, and during Battles, each coach will have two steals to use. The Three-Way Knockouts are also back. This time, however, artists will select their own songs to perform.

Once the Live Performance Shows begin, the top artists will compete against each other weekly during a live broadcast. This time, the television audience will vote to save their favorite artists. In the end, one artist will be named "The Voice" and receive the grand prize of a recording contract.

Pretty sure Linda Rondstadt would LOVE Ruby's version of her song. WOW.

[rextravers]

To get within a mile of Linda is an achievement !!!

[theprousteffect]

The emotion, the tears, vocal breaks, vibrato, the range - she's truly beyond her years, and this is what she was meant to do.

[ProfHoff]

Who else keeps coming back and listening to this again and again in 2024? This is fuel for my soul.

[thedruekefamilyadventures]

I am not a country fan, but her voice transcends the genre. It feels timeless and she is a generational talent for sure!

[papachinizo]

I find myself re-watching her performances over and over again... I've never done that before... shes just "WOW!"

[priskilla]

Anyone who can hold a Linda Ronstadt note, is an amazing singer, period!!!! This kind of voice is so rare and powerful, she better WIN!!

[chasesmom]

She isn't trying to be better than Linda, She is being herself.Those tears she is shedding is all her emotions..I want her album ..She has beautiful voice

[tcurry]

This song calls for a note of sorrow in the voice. Linda had it. Ruby has it. They aren't identical. Linda had a lot more training - my word she could sing opera. But Ruby has controlled power and that indescribable "something" that makes you want to cry. She is a real artist. It's crazy that she's so young.

[l]

i wanna watch this again but i dont wanna cry anymore lol

[krzysztofmakola]

It is a very rare event to observe how a star is born right in front of your eyes.

[Water_is_Sacred]

HUGE Linda fan here and I cried like a baby hearing this superb rendition of Long Long Time. I thought no one could ever cover that great song and do Linda's legacy justice but this young lady did it chillingly and brilliantly. While NO ONE can fill Linda's shoes, I am in AWE of Ruby's talent!

[chicknthesticks]

Good heavens, Ruby can SING. What an angel. Good luck, young lady.

[nadivkaspi]

What I especially love about this is that its such a short performance. It isn't super technical or show-offish, its just about the song and her practically perfect voice. That's exactly what makes it one of the best performances this season, and honestly among the best of all time on the show.

[jbart]

What a talent! She is going to be a star! Country music needs her.

[beverlybrown]

I would buy her album right now today. I predict great things for this girl.

[spoodir]

She’s too talented. She is genuinely the best person I’ve ever seen on the voice. I love her voice so much. It’s so beautiful.

[johnhd]

Other than Linda Rondstadt's version, this song cannot be sung any better. Outstanding!

[Diana-lqyj]

I was in the studio when Linda Ronstadt first recorded this song and haven't heard a better version yet! Chills with the first note.

[derekeagles]

That little girl ripped my heart out with her rendition. Fantastic job
