Gabrielle Zabosky, 25, of Oxford, sang Kelly Clarkson’s “Mr. Know It All” during the Blind Audition for the show's 26th season on Tuesday, Oct. 8, according to Parade.
Her performance impressed judges Reba McEntire, Snoop Dogg, Gwen Stefani, and Michael Bublé. "I love your voice," Reba told her, according to Parade. "You have a lot of power, a lot of dynamics going in and out."
Zabosky told Parade that music has always been a large part of her life. She explained that she was raised with her four sisters by a single mom and they didn't have much as she was growing up, so music became her outlet.
When she was 16, she participated in Walmart's acapella challenge contest and was selected with 11 other people from around Pennsylvania to form the retail giant's first-ever acapella group, SparkApella, Zabosky told Parade.
Despite the lack of money, Zabosky and her family have remained positive about life, she said in an interview with NBC. "At the end of the day, you don’t need stuff to be happy. It’s about love," Zabosky said in the interview.
"This is the biggest thing I’ve ever done in my life," she told NBC. "These four Coaches represent a brighter future."
After receiving the four-chair turnaround, Zabosky chose Gwen Stefani as her coach. Unlike the other judges/coaches, Stefani had passed on some constructive criticism to Zabosky, according to Parade.
"The Voice" is available to watch on Mondays and Tuesday at 8 p.m. Eastern on NBC and on Peacock on the days following the initial airing.
