Ruby Leigh’s performance on “The Voice” moved Reba McEntire to tears as she sang one of McEntire’s songs.
The 16-year-old’s rendition of “You Lie” from McEntire’s 1990 album deeply touched the country icon, who praised Leigh for her powerful performance.
Fellow coach Niall Horan was also impressed, and McEntire later praised Leigh in an Instagram story. (Trending: Elon Musk Condemns Arrest Of Jan 6 Protester)
“You blew it out of the water. It was absolutely spectacular,” exclaimed McEntire.
“The way you can hold a note out, and so powerful, it just absolutely slays me,” said the crying country legend.
“The best thing you can do is connect with the person when you’re singing, and you definitely do it,” confirmed McEntire.
“Gwen and I are bawling,” added McEntire.
Coach Niall Horan said, “There hasn’t been a time that you’ve performed on this show where I haven’t gotten goosebumps.
Declaring, “That was special.”
“The way you sold that story and did it in Ruby’s way. I loved that you were looking over at Reba for approval,” continued Horan.
Adding, “It was a really cute moment between coach and singer.”
“Oh, my gosh, for Ruby to make Gwen and me both cry — she’s 16 years old and singing my song in front of me and doing as well as she did, she’s a superstar,” McEntire later posted on Instagram.
Leigh is one of three remaining singers on Team Reba this season.
