## Summary

Fifteen-year-old singer Allie Rae impressed the coaches on *The Voice* with a cover of Lainey Wilson’s “4X4XU”. Coach Riley Green praised her performance and compared her to Reba McEntire, while Kelly Clarkson said Rae was far ahead for her age. Their comments underline how strongly Rae performed as she competes for a place in the live shows.

The performance took place during the programme’s first Cut Week, which the article describes as its biggest cut so far. Each of the four coaches had already chosen two artists for the live shows; five others on each team performed for one remaining team place. Green’s five included Rae, Everett Bounds, Keiyana Osmond, Kayleigh Matthews and Joe Henley. Coaches will select one artist from each group of five, while viewers’ votes will decide which of the other 12 contestants takes the final place in the Top 13.
