Samuel Wilco showed off his soulful voice while singing Stevie Wonder‘s “Lately” on The Voice!
The 39-year-old military dad from Kentucky got coaches Kelly Clarkson and Nick Jonas to turn their chairs.
Right after his performance ended, Kelly and Nick‘s chairs had a malfunction and unexpectedly turned back around.
“That performance was unbelievable. And thank you for your service,” Nick said. “We need a voice like that in this competition, and you brought it today. You did it with ease. It kind of made me a little jealous and upset, actually, that I can’t do that.”
“Avoided the Block Shelton curse … Welcome to #TeamNick Samuel! #VoiceBlinds,” Nick tweeted about the audition.
