All 4 Judges Turn For Thunderstorm Artis' 'Blackbird' Blind Audition
In this incredible performance on The Voice, all four judges turn their chairs around after hearing Thunderstorm Artis sing ‘Blackbird’ during the blind auditions.
It only took a few notes of Thunderstorm’s sweet and smooth sounding voice for John Legend, Nick Jonas, and Kelly Clarkson to turn their chairs.
“Sing that song! Alright,” John Legend says while Thunderstorm is performing.
Right after that, Blake Shelton turns his chair around to see the beautiful acoustic performance of ‘Blackbird.’ By the end of the song, Thunderstorm managed to get all four judges chairs turned around and a standing ovation from the audience.
“That is what this show is all about. That was unbelievable,” says Nick Jonas. “Your vocal control was just perfect, and I need you on my team. I believe that with you, we can go very, very far together. There’s definitely a story there that you can share with the world. And I’m telling you, they’re going to be honored to get to hear you sing. And I would be honored to be your coach, man.”
After Nick shares his thoughts, Kelly asks the performer a question. “Is that your given name? Thunderstorm?” she asks. “Yeah, from birth,” he replies. “Oh my, I love your parents,” Kelly tells him with a huge smile on her face.
Then she goes on to tell Thunderstorm why she would love to have him on her team.
“We turned around that quickly because we’re all very aware what is standing on stage right now. Which is someone who could win this competition,” she explains. “There’s nothing really anyone here is going to do for you vocally what God has not already gifted you with naturally. I think it would be really cool to take songs, and then you totally twist it. I think that you are going to do that all day and all night on this show. We’re just going to be your cheerleaders, trying to help you navigate the competition aspect. I have navigated a competition as a singer before and ended up winning. So, I can do that with you, I promise.”
It's clear to see why all four judges want this amazing singer on their team! His God-given talents are sure to take him far, no matter who he chooses!
