“Over a decade of musical talent has graced the stage of ‘The Voice’ on NBC, continuing to unearth impressive voices and offer opportunities to budding artists in the industry.
D.Smooth, a 25-year-old singer from Birmingham, Alabama, wowed the audience with his rendition of Ed Sheeran’s ‘Perfect,’ leading to a playful tussle between coaches Kelly Clarkson and Niall Horan for his talent.
Following his captivating performance, Chance The Rapper, who didn’t turn his chair, offered insightful advice, acknowledging D.Smooth’s talent.
The audience shared a laugh when Blake Shelton jokingly pointed out that Horan turned around without being told.
Clarkson, on the other hand, defended her quick response, emphasizing that she knew when to spin. She praised D.Smooth for infusing the song with a unique touch reminiscent of Boyz II Men and Brian McKnight, setting his version apart from Sheeran’s.
In the end, D.Smooth chose to join Clarkson’s team, setting the stage for the upcoming battle rounds. His spirited duet with ALI, a deaf singer, garnered attention, with Chance attempting to recruit her. However, Clarkson used her sole ‘playoff berth,’ ensuring that D.Smooth progressed directly to the playoffs while expressing her confidence in his journey.
D.Smooth shared his joy on Facebook, thanking his faith and determination for the privilege of earning Clarkson’s ‘Playoff Pass’ and setting a promising course for his musical adventure.”
