American Songwriter · 2 hours ago

Adam Levine was the only coach on The Voice's Blind Auditions (night four) who failed to turn around for contestant Saade, a 24-year-old Iranian-born singer based in San Francisco. Her show-stopping performance of Raye's "Oscar Winning Tears" impressed the other three coaches—Riley Green, Kelly Clarkson, and Queen Latifah—who all turned their chairs, underscoring a significant missed opportunity for Levine.

Saade shared her journey of perseverance and belief before delivering a powerful vocal performance that drew high praise from the coaches. Riley Green highlighted the strength of her performance whilst Levine expressed regret, miming a heart wound in response to Saade's comment that she still loved him. Ultimately, Saade selected Kelly Clarkson as her coach, explaining that she grew up listening to her in Iran, with Clarkson delighted to welcome her to Team Kelly.

  • Riley Green teased Levine, calling him a "dumb idiot" for missing out
