THE Voice has returned for Season 24 and the coaches are pulling out all the stops to get their picks on their teams – including the reveal of secret talents.
Missouri 16-year-old Ruby Leigh took to the Voice stage on Tuesday for a blind audition that had all the judges impressed.
Ruby sang Patsy Montana’s I Want To Be A Cowboy’s Sweetheart, winning the praise of all the judges, enough to give the performer a four-chair turn.
The show’s newest coach Reba McIntire spoke to Ruby last, saying: “Being as young as you are, and being a fan of Patsy Montana, I’m a third generation rodeo brat, so Patsy Montana, a country western singer, not just country – there is a difference – I’m very flattered, very proud of my heritage that you’re singing this song.”
The country legend added that her mother taught her how to yodel and gave a sample of what she could do, and in the end, won Ruby over.
