Team Reba’s Ruby Leigh: See Her Unforgettable Path To The Voice Finale

Ruby Leigh left her mark on The Voice viewers right from the start with her blind audition. Her captivating performances have consistently stood out throughout the Battles, Knockouts, and Playoffs, securing her position as one of the final five contestants in the eagerly awaited Season 24 finale.

Before the Missouri native 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. 

Ruby Leigh’s Blind Audition

Ruby took the stage to perform Patsy Montana’s “I Want To Be A Cowboy’s Sweetheart” for her blind audition and immediately caught the attention of Reba McEntire with her unique yodel. 

Full of confidence, the 16-year-old wound up earning an impressive four-chair turn, and had all of the coaches clamoring for her attention. 

“I truly never heard anything like what you just did. Thank you. I loved how clear and precise and piercing and beautiful your tone was and then when you started doing the yodeling, it was like, how is a human being able to do the things that you’re doing? You can win The Voice,” John Legend told her. “Honestly, I would love to coach you.” 

While the other coaches attempted to convince Ruby to join their teams, it was McEntire who had the deepest connection with the rising star. 

“Ruby, as young as you are, being a fan of Patsy Montana, I’m a third-generation rodeo brat. So Patsy Montana, a country western singer, not just country. There is a difference. I’m very flattered, very proud of my heritage that you’re singing this song. Matter of fact, my mama could yodel and she taught me how to yodel,” Reba shared before yodeling from her big red chair. 

Ultimately, Ruby chose to join Team Reba.

Exciting Performances

She showcased her longtime love for country music during the Battles when she beat out fellow contestant Al Boogie while performing Dolly Parton’s iconic hit, “Jolene.” 

For the Knockouts, she had the edge over Team Reba contestants Rachele Nguyen and Ms. Monet when she sang a standout rendition of “Blue.” 

The young contestant performed a cover for Linda Ronstat’s “Long, Long Time” for the Playoffs, and then, for her performance during the Top 12, she earned the public vote with “You Lie” by Cee Cee Chapman and later recorded by Reba McEntire.

“Take Me Home, Country Roads”

The public vote once again went to Ruby during the Semifinals when she performed “Take Me Home, Country Roads” by John Denver.
