Tessanne Chin performed Bob Marley’s classic “Redemption Song” on The Voice on Monday night.
The Jamaican songstress wowed the audience even making Adam Levine get emotional.
“That song is as important to me as it is important to you,” Adam Levine said. “I was so immerse and lost in that performance.”
“Every week I hear that Jamaican accent getting more and more strong I hear it comes out more,” Christina Aguilera said.
Blake Shelton, who had never commented on Tessanne’s previous performances, could no longer hold back and sang her praises last night. “You are a world-class vocalist. You can sing with the best vocalists on earth … . We haven’t seen anyone quite like you on the show,” Shelton said.
With each contestant performing two songs this week, her first performance was close to home, as coach Adam Levine chose Bob Marley’s Redemption Song.
“I want to get this right,” she said.
And get it right she did. Chin stole the show with her mind-blowingly soulful, tear-jerking rendition of the song and was rewarded with a standing ovation from Levine, as well as audience members.
For her second song, which she dedicated to her mom and dad, Tessanne performed Unconditionally by Katy Perry.
Teary-eyed Tessanne once again tugged at the heart-strings of the viewers.
