Season 21 of NBC’s “The Voice” has officially wrapped up airing the Blind Auditions for the season, and that means the coaches filled up the last few spots on their teams. For team Ariana Grande, that meant filling one spot with a singer that lived up to Grande’s vocal abilities.
Sophia Bromberg stepped out onto the stage to perform Conan Gray’s “Heather” during her Blind Audition, and her voice was impressive enough to the coaches to earn a three-chair turn from Grande, John Legend and Kelly Clarkson.
Blake Shelton was the only coach who did not turn around for the contestant.
Grande Said the Contestant ‘Sounds Like’ Her
After the singer hit a whistle tone, Grande looked at Legend and said “sounds like me.”
Grande also said that the performance was interesting because “there are so many people in your throat box.”
“One of them, I noticed, is Ariana,” Clarkson joked.
Grande continued, “They’re all so beautiful and interesting and well-controlled and well-oiled. I would love the opportunity to help you continue to find and solidify your sound because I really do think you have such a unique and identifiable voice.”
When she mentioned the whistle notes in the performance, Legend asked Grande what she could possibly know about them while laughing.
When asked what kind of music she listens to, Bromberg listed off many different genres and laughed when Blake Shelton said that she probably listened to anything Grande released.
“You can hear all of that in your voice, honestly,” Legend told the contestant. “Um, I heard the pop, the folky vibe for a second, the soul, the runs, and, obviously, the Ariana of it all.”
Clarkson made a last-ditch effort to get Bromberg to join her team by saying she seemed like an artist who “paints” with her vocal cords.
Bromberg chose to go with Team Ariana after telling the coaches she loved all of them.
