Chance The Rapper turns his chair for Manasseh Samone on The Voice

Tonight's episode of The Voice saw the four coaches getting ready for a brand new batch of contestants displaying their talent in the third round of blind auditions. Throughout the episode, they witnessed impressive performances and turned their chairs. For a few unfortunate ones, the coaches wanted more and the hopefuls failed to deliver, cutting their journey on the show short.

Manasseh Samone, who had previously participated on season 22 of The Voice, gave the competition another shot. For her blind audition, she performed Andra Day's Rise Up. The judges were instantly intrigued, listening to her vocal range. As soon as she hit the first falsetto, Chance The Rapper turned his chair and cheered for the singer as her family celebrated the chair turn.

Throughout the performance, The Voice contestant delivered many perfect high notes, but unfortunately failed to turn any other chairs. This meant that she would automatically be on Chance The Rapper's team. The coach was extremely happy as he cheered for her and gave her a standing ovation.

Chance The Rapper then asked his fellow coaches if they were "crazy" to not turn around for Manasseh. He called it the "biggest blessing of the whole show so far." The coach said that he couldn't believe he got her without having to fight with the other coaches. Chance complimented the singer's tone and the ability to control her breath, calling her voice unique.

While Kelly Clarkson loved The Voice contestant's tone, she felt that Manasseh was struggling to find a balance between "technique and passion." Niall Horan pointed out that her voice was "far from his wheelhouse," which prevented him from turning the chair for her. OG coach Blake Shelton congratulated her for being part of the competition.
