The Voice 23 episode 4: Chance The Rapper turning his chair for Chloe Abbott leaves fans divided

Popular reality competition series The Voice season 23 aired a brand new episode on Tuesday, March 14, 2023, at 9 pm ET on NBC.

It documented a fresh set of contestants participating in the fourth round of blind auditions. They delivered their best performances in hopes of impressing the coaches and having one or more of them turn their chairs and select the singers for their team.

On this week's episode of The Voice, 24-year-old singer Chloe Abbott delivered an impressive performance to receive a chair turn from Chance The Rapper. As fellow coaches didn't turn, the singer was automatically put on Chance's team. Fans, however, were left with mixed opinions about the coach's decision.

While some supported Chance's call, others felt that he was too early to turn for Chloe and that should've waited longer as the performance wasn't that impressive.

The hit NBC series has been on the air for over a decade and has only grown in popularity. Season 23 of the competition introduced a new mixture of coaches - Kelly Clarkson, who appeared after a brief hiatus with first-time coaches Niall Horan and Chance The Rapper, and OG coach Blake Shelton, who ends his tenure as the coach after this season.

Chance The Rapper picks Chloe Abbott in his team on The Voice

Tonight's episode of The Voice saw the four coaches getting ready for another round of blind auditions. They had their convincing skills ready in their bags as they tested the contestants' abilities and whether or not they would be a good fit for the team. While some impressed the coaches, others failed to do so.

Chloe Abbott, a professional sprinter and singer, auditioned this week in front of the coaches. She performed BeeGees' How Deep Is Your Love. The judges were surely intrigued but were waiting for the contestant to hit other notes to see how she fared in those.

As the other coaches contemplated whether or not to turn their chair, Chance The Rapper pressed his button and turned his chair.

Chloe's family celebrated the chair turn as The Voice contestant kept singing for more turns from fellow coaches. Chance The Rapper enjoyed the performance and was impressed by the singer. Fellow coaches, including Kelly Clarkson, also liked some of the voice notes and ranges that the singer displayed.

While the contestant continued to perform, Kelly, Niall, and Blake enjoyed the audition but didn't turn their chair for the singer. Chloe was greeted with applause from the audience and coaches for her performance. The 24-year-old singer from Detroit, Michigan, revealed that she was training for the 2024 Olympics.

Chance The Rapper noted that "it made perfect sense," as The Voice contestant had tremendous breath control and made great runs throughout the performance. The coach eventually welcomed her into his team.
