“The Voice” is a talent show. Blind Auditions always bring out a great group of performers, and along the way there are often surprises. Ryley Tate Wilson, who is 15 years old, blows away the coaches with his singing skills in this audition.
The stage is lit with blue and purple lights, and a piano is playing on higher keys by itself. Ryley starts to sing the first line of “Dancing on my Own” by Robyn with a soft, beautiful voice as the lights slowly swirl around her.
Coach Kelly and Coach Nial hit her button right after the first line. Ryley’s family is shocked and cheering for the coaches when the camera cuts to them. “Pretty,” Coach Kelly says with a smile.
Nial laughs because he can’t believe what the teenager can do. Before the first verse is over, Black hears him sing a higher note, which makes him spin in his chair as the crowd applauds.
Chance is the only one left who hasn’t turned, and the other coaches stand and watch the singer. At the end of the song, Chance spins in his chair to show his appreciation for Ryley’s talent.
At the end, Ryley stops and smiles. He puts his hands on his knees, overcome with emotion, and gets a standing ovation. When Coach Kelly asks him how old he is, he says he is 15.
Nial says, “What?” in shock. Kelly gets up from her seat. He says that he is from Montgomery, AL. Nial says to Ryley, “My head almost blew up. “By a long shot, that was the best audition we’ve seen here.” They all want to coach the best young players.
