They are not sounding good AT ALL tonight #TheVoice.” Others criticized the first few performances.”30 mins in and the three performers so far are giving shower performance vibes.”
Starting the night off, Roar took the stage hoping to make the song her own. Fans reacted with, “Making @reba cry is a good sign for Jacquie Roar!” Other comments included, “Jacquie Roar with some current Country fit perfectly to her style. She looked and sounded like a Star, working the stage and the dynamics. I did miss a lot of the words but caught the feeling.”

As for Iris, she gained a mountain of support for “Lovesong” as fans shared, “So far only Nini has done it for me- i love that dark ballad with orchestra feel and she did it well.” “Nini really impressed me tonight. I had never heard that song so I don’t know how close to the original it was, but the style and her look made it feel like a throwback to the 40s.”
When it comes to Tenae, fans also shared their love with “Kara did her thing! Def messed up on the high part “I found you” but she is such a vibe. Great song choice too. Brought me back #theVoice.” “I like a lot of these artists but Kara is REAL! LOVE HER! She’s about as real R&B as you can get. I get lost in old memories when I hear her sing. Would buy her music in a hot second. #thevoice.”
