See All of Holly Forbes' Mind-Blowing Performances on The Voice

We've been obsessed since her four-chair turn audition.

By McKenzie Jean-Philippe
The Voice Contestant Holly Forbes

The Voice fans first met Holly Forbes during Season 21 auditions, and they were instantly touched after she opened up about her past.

How to Watch

Watch The Voice Mondays and Tuesdays at 8/7c on NBC and next day on Peacock. 

“Around 11, I started having seizures,” she said on the show. “The doctors put me on medication that made my hair brittle and patchy. I ended up losing my hair. For a kid, it’s not easy being bald. At that time, I listened to music on repeat in my room, singing, and it just boosted my confidence.”

Her talent proved to be just as powerful as her story. Forbes made it all the way to the top 10 under the guidance of her Coaches, Ariana Grande and Kelly Clarkson. Now, the Kentucky soul singer is set to release a new EP, Live From the Paramount, on April 15.

To celebrate, let's look back at her many mind-blowing performances on The Voice.

Holly Forbes' Four-Chair Turn Audition

For her first appearance on the Voice stage, Forbes performed a rendition of Elton John's "Rocket Man" that made every single Coach turn their chair—though Legend was blocked by Ariana Grande. Ultimately, Forbes went with #TeamKelly.
