The Voice s top 17 artists of season 20 took the stage for their first live performances on Monday, and Team Legend s Pia Renee absolutely brought it!
The 37-year-old Chicago native who earned Whitney Houston comparisons from the coaches and Mega Mentor Snoop Dogg throughout the Battle and Knockout Rounds wowed with her stunning rendition of Jazmine Sullivan s Need U Bad, from her otherworldly vocals to her stunning red dress.
Blake Shelton called Pia s performance the best Team Legend performance of the night so far, and her coach, John Legend, agreed that he was constantly impressed by the talented vocalist.
Plus, Mega Mentor Snoop Dogg helps ring in the round with the show s coaches and competitors.
But is it any more fierce because itâs Season 20? âI donât think weâre more competitive,â John admits. âI think weâre always going to be competitive with each other, but we always have a lot of fun with each other as well. Itâs part of the charm of the show that the coaches compete with each other, but weâre all friends and we love spending time with each other.â
âHonestly, we do this more for these artists,â John shares. âItâs about them. Itâs about them getting a chance to shine. We already get the shine in our own careers and we want to see these artists do the most that they can with this opportunity.â
