    As the Blind Auditions round wound down on Tuesday night’s (Oct. 7) episode of The Voice one singer slipped in under the wire with a four-chair turn performance that had some of the judges predicting she could win it all.

    “You’re a powerhouse. So good. Your singing, your runs, your range,” Reba McEntire said after mononymous Connecticut singer Trinity blew the panel away with her impressive take on 1990s girl group En Vogue’s 1996 Billboard Hot 100 No. 2 hit “Don’t Let Go (Love).” Though she noted that her dance card was “almost full,” the country icon said she had no time to waste in hitting her button while making her pitch for Trinity to join her team.

    The feat was even more impressive given that En Vogue featured four singers and Trinity capably handled the vocals all by herself, belting out “What’s it gonna be, ‘cuz I can’t pretend/ Don’t you want to be more than friends,” as Michael Bublé, Snoop Dogg, Niall Horan and McEntire all grooved along, with the latter proclaiming the singer “really good” before she was halfway through the tune.

    When Trinity got to the “love makin’, heart breakin’, soul shakin’” bit, Snoop couldn’t help but sing along, while Horan smashed his red button with his forehead, followed by McEntire, Snoop and Bublé after the singer hit a series of powerful, clear-as-a-bell high notes. “Young lady, in the world of The Voice, you have what we call a ‘one, two, three and to the four,’” Snoop proclaimed, as his fellow adjudicators chimed in on the iconic refrain from Snoop’s 1992 Dr. Dre collab “Nuthin’ But a ‘G’ Thang.”

    Bublé joked about watching McEntire watch her fellow judges while their chairs were turned around, dipping into his approximation of her Oklahoma country accent, saying, “‘What’s wrong with you people? Why aren’t you turning your chairs, idiots?’” Bublé’s roster is also full, but he told Trinity he was sure he could give her a phone book to sing and she would “crush it” and score a No. 1 Billboard hit “in a minute.”

    Snoop noted that the original, which first appeared on the 1996 Set It Off soundtrack and then on the band’s third LP, 1997’s EV3, was originally performed by Dawn Robinson, Maxine Jones, Cindy Herron and Terry Ellis. “The way you held that song down by yourself, without all of those backgrounds and ad libs, that’s strength. That’s power,” he said as Trinity bowed her head in appreciation for his kind words. “You remind me of Donna Summer. You just up there looking like a superstar.”

    Horan said given how impressive she was all alone, he can’t wait for Trinity to hit the live shows with the house band, reminding her that he sacrificed his forehead to vote for her. “I went boosh! I just couldn’t wait to see you because I was convinced you were marching around that stage,” he said excitedly. “But no, you were stood there like the Statue of Liberty. You’re the superstar on this show. Please pick me!”

    In the end, Trinity picked a “dumbfounded” Bublé.

    The Voice will march on to the Battle rounds beginning on Monday (Oct. 13) at 8 p.m. ET on NBC.
