THE Voice has returned for Season 24 and the coaches are pulling out all the stops to get their picks on their teams – including the reveal of secret talents.
Missouri 16-year-old Ruby Leigh took to the Voice stage on Tuesday for a blind audition that had all the judges impressed.
Ruby sang Patsy Montana’s I Want To Be A Cowboy’s Sweetheart, winning the praise of all the judges, enough to give the performer a four-chair turn.

The show’s newest coach Reba McIntire spoke to Ruby last, saying: “Being as young as you are, and 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.”
The country legend added that her mother taught her how to yodel and gave a sample of what she could do, and in the end, won Ruby over.
Meanwhile, Reba has made history in the singing competition series by being the oldest (at 68) and most experienced coach to have ever worked on the series.
The Voice airs Mondays at 8pm ET and Tuesdays at 9pm ET on NBC.
