During Monday's episode of The Voice, JaRae Womack delivered a stunning performance that left the coaches in awe. Singing a unique rendition of Amy Winehouse's "Back to Black," the 35-year-old Florida native received a rare four-chair turn from Reba McEntire, John Legend, Gwen Stefani, and Niall Horan.

Before her audition, JaRae shared with the cameras the deep-rooted love for music within her family. She mentioned her illustrious musical lineage, including her grandfather Cecil Womack, a member of The Valentinos, whose career was kickstarted by Sam Cooke. She also spoke of her uncle Bobby Womack, known for his solo career. Now, it was her turn to shine.

JaRae's performance left an indelible mark on the coaches, earning high praise. Niall marveled at her rendition, describing it as "insane" and a "standout performance." Reba's heartfelt words touched JaRae deeply as she mentioned that the song had touched her soul. Gwen commended JaRae for infusing the song with her heart, making it a powerful rendition. John's effusive praise nearly brought JaRae to tears as he emphasized the authenticity, passion, and honesty she brought to her performance.

John's heartfelt pitch ultimately convinced JaRae to choose Team Legend, marking the beginning of her journey on The Voice.

In a pre-season interview with the coaches, Reba mentioned the warm and sisterly welcome she received from Gwen, Niall, and John. However, she noted that when it comes to the competition, the friendly vibes take a backseat. As John chimed in with a laugh, they all agreed that despite their camaraderie, they still aim to outdo each other on the show.
