Re-Live Jacquie Roar’s Remarkable Run On The Voice, From A Rare Four-Chair Turn To The Finale

The Voice finalist Jacquie Roar made a lasting impression on viewers from the moment she stepped onto the stage for her blind audition. She has continued to captivate audiences through the Battles, Knockouts, and Playoffs, and is now one of the five remaining contestants heading into the highly anticipated Season 24 finale. 

Before Roar hits the stage for her final performances of the season and the winner of The Voice Season 24 is revealed, we’re taking a look back on her journey on the show. 

Blind Audition

Roar, a 37-year-old wedding DJ from Oregon, earned a rare four-chair turn with her Blind Audition performance of Gretchen Wilson’s “Here for the Party.” While she got off to a bit of a rocky start, she recovered and impressed the entire coaches panel. The country singer was so into her performance that she ended up losing an earring at the end, prompting laughs from the coaches panel following the rare four-chair turn.

“I’ve heard of dropping the mic but never dropping the earrings,” Reba McEntire quipped. 

When it was time to pick her coach, Roar enlisted the help of her daughter, who joined her on stage to select Team Gwen Stefani. 

Battles

A big shakeup came during the Battles round, when Roar performed a duet of Jelly Roll’s “Need a Favor” with BIAS. Ultimately, BIAS won the battle, however, Roar’s time on The Voice was not finished as Reba used a Steal to bring Roar over to her team. 

“I’m a very hard worker, I’m a very hard singer, so somebody hit that button because I’m not leaving this stage,” she pleaded moments before Reba stole her. 

Knockouts

During the Knockouts, Jacquie Roar faced off against Tom Nitti and Alison Albrecht. Her cover of Maren Morris’ “Girl” is what took her to the next round during this portion of the competition. At the time, Reba explained her decision: “I chose Jacquie because she knows her range [and] her showmanship is wonderful. She’s comfortable in her own skin.”

Roar’s standout cover of Fleetwood Mac’s “The Chain” had Stefani regretting her decision in the Battles round. “I was sitting here going, ‘Who are you, Gwen Stefani? Like, how could you let her go to Reba? Like, you’re so dumb!’” Stefani said following the memorable performance. 

Live Rounds

During the Live rounds, Roar continued to impress with covers of Lainey Wilson’s “Wildflowers and Wild Horses,” Taylor Swift’s “ Don’t Blame Me” (with Mara Justine and Nini Iris), Sia’s “Alive,” and “Alone” by Heart. The Heart cover earned the Roar an Instant Save from the audience members and this is what ultimately secured her place in the Top 5. 

The Voice will crown its Season 24 winner on Tuesday, December 19 following back-to-back finale episodes. The first show will air on Monday, December 18 at 8 pm ET, and the second episode will air on Tuesday, December 19 at 9 pm ET.
