Manasseh Samone On The Voice
After failing to get a single chair turn during his audition for The Voice season 22, Manasseh Samone returned to the competition the following year with Andra Day’s “Rise Up.” Judge Chance was so mesmerized that he immediately turned his chair around. “These people are crazy,” the rapper said. “They don’t turn around! This is the biggest blessing of the show so far. I can’t believe I just made you like that!”
Judge Kelly, who did not turn her chair, later praised Manasseh’s performance as “incredible”. She also revealed that the only reason she did not turn around was because Manasseh was “still struggling with the tug of war between technique and passion”.
Nial agrees with Kelly.
As for Blake, he congratulated her at the end of the show. “It’s unbelievable,” he said. “Couldn’t be more excited for you. You made it to The Voice, so congratulations.”
Naturally, Manasseh later became part of Team Chance.
Back on the March 27 episode of the season, she faced off against trio Sorelle to Adele’s “Someone Like You,” before Chance announced his Ticket to the show’s first knockout round.
“In my eyes, she was way ahead of the competition,” he explained. “She had the strongest voice, she had experience on this stage before, and I think Manasseh absolutely deserved to be skipped to the next round.”
Delighted, Manasseh later shared in an interview, “The ticket to the knockout stage is very valuable. Everyone else has to fight and you can just sit back and watch.”
Manasseh may be the first to get a ticket to the playoffs, but she’s not the only one. Mary Kate Connor from Team Blake, Ryley Tate Wilson from Team Niall, and D. Smooth from Team Kelly also received newly introduced tickets.
