“Hallelujah” is a song that has been covered dozens of times—including arguably its most popular rendition—so THE VOICE season 16 finalist Maelyn Jarmon took quite a risk by picking it as one of her finale songs. But, boy, it paid off.

Comments Off on THE VOICE: Bebe Rexha Joins as the Comeback Stage Coach
Bebe Rexha has joined THE VOICE as the Comeback Stage coach. (Kelsea Ballerini filled that role for contestants during its inaugural run in season 15; she’s Team Kelly’s Battle Round mentor this year.)
“We really liked and saw a lot of interest and viewership in it,” THE VOICE executive producer Audrey Morrissey told reporters. However, after its first go-round, they made some adjustments: “There were some criticisms of it: How could somebody who didn’t get a chair turned in the blinds all of a sudden be in the live show, while people who made it further didn’t get that opportunity? We really heard that and saw that and tweaked it. This season, people that don’t advance from every round [will] get pulled into the comeback stage.”
