It was a night of high emotions on The Voice, and Reba McEntire wasn’t holding back the tears. During the knockouts on Monday, April 15, the legendary country singer found herself deeply moved while watching two talented contestants, Maddi Jane and Kamalei Kawa’a, battle it out on the stage. The intensity of the moment wasn’t lost on Reba, who at 69, showed just how much these young artists mean to her.
A Night of Powerful Performances
Maddi Jane delivered a powerhouse rendition of Dua Lipa’s “New Rules,” while Kamalei Kawa’a gave her all with John Legend’s “All of Me.” Both artists were part of Chance the Rapper’s team, but Reba couldn’t help but feel the weight of the competition. One of these incredible talents might have to leave, and that reality tugged at her heartstrings. It’s moments like these that remind us how deeply invested the coaches are in the journey of each contestant.
John Legend’s Praise for Kamalei
After Kamalei wrapped up her performance, John Legend, 45, couldn’t contain his admiration. “I was just really into your version,” he said, his voice filled with genuine appreciation. “It was beautiful.” John’s feedback wasn’t just about the technical aspects of the performance; it was about the emotion and soul Kamalei poured into the song. It’s this kind of heartfelt recognition that keeps the contestants motivated and inspired.

Chance the Rapper’s Tough Decision
When it came time to choose a winner, Chance the Rapper, 31, ultimately selected Maddi Jane as the victor. But this wasn’t the end of the road for Kamalei. Both Reba and John hit their steal buttons, leaving Kamalei with a life-changing decision to make. It’s moments like these that make The Voice so compelling—when the contestants get to choose their own destiny.
Reba, visibly emotional, made a heartfelt plea to Kamalei. Her voice cracking with emotion, she said, “Your voice, it just makes me feel good. The greatest singers in the world sometimes don’t touch my heart. You’ve got a big heart, and you share it with people.” It was a powerful moment that showcased Reba’s genuine connection to the contestants and her desire to mentor someone with such incredible talent.
The Final Decision
In the end, Kamalei chose to join John Legend’s team. While Reba was undoubtedly disappointed, her disappointment didn’t last long. Later in the episode, Reba had the opportunity to steal Jackie Romeo from John’s team, adding another remarkable talent to her roster. Jackie’s performance of Rihanna’s “Love on the Brain” showcased her versatility and vocal strength, proving that Reba’s team was in good hands.
Reba’s Words of Encouragement
Reba wasn’t just focused on winning; she was all about building connections. After securing Jackie for her team, she shared some heartfelt words. “Jackie can sing country, Jackie can sing anything she wants, ’cause she’s that strong of a singer,” Reba said with pride. Her encouragement didn’t stop there. Backstage, she comforted Jackie, saying, “Continue to have fun. I love you!” These moments of genuine care and support are what make Reba such a beloved coach on the show.
Reba’s Emotional Journey on The Voice
Reba’s emotional connection to the show isn’t a one-time thing. Earlier in the season, during the battle rounds, she found herself tearing up after watching Josh Sanders and Donny Van Slee perform Luke Combs’ “When It Rains, It Pours.” Her words after declaring Josh the winner were heartfelt and personal. “I feel like I’ve known you forever,” she said. “When we got to be in the rehearsal, I just felt like we bonded, and that was really, really special to me.”
It’s this kind of genuine connection that makes Reba McEntire such a standout coach on The Voice. Her tears aren’t just about the competition; they’re about the journey, the growth, and the relationships she builds with each contestant. And as the show continues, we can expect more of these unforgettable moments.
