Country singer Kayleigh Mathews earned a four-chair turn on October 5 with a Vince Gill song in her Blind audition on The Voice, and with all four coaches wanting her, she became one of the night's most sought-after contestants. Adam Levine told her, "I am going to fight as hard as I have ever fought for you right now," and, "The way you fill the room with that voice, you are such a magnificent talent.
I would be honored to be your coach." Queen Latifah praised the emotional performance, saying, "That was absolutely gorgeous. You took me to church.
It became a spiritual moment for me." Riley Green praised her country roots and her choice of a Vince Gill classic: "Kayleigh, I loved every bit of that.
And to take on Vince Gill, who's one of the greatest vocalists in country music, those are big shoes to fill and you really did it. It was awesome." Kelly Clarkson, citing her own history with Gill, said, "We've got a song called 'Don't Rush.' I know that Adam turned around first - but Adam doesn't know that song like we do.
I come back because of voices like yours. I like to be moved."
After the coaches kept competing for her attention, Mathews said, "I've got to just go with my heart and my gut and what I know. I would love the opportunity to work with Queen Latifah."
Latifah later said she was "excited to work with country," and added, "I love country music - but she's beyond country."
