Country contestant Kayleigh Clark brought a dose of nostalgic flair to The Voice Season 28 Knockouts on Monday night (Nov. 10), choosing LeAnn Rimes’ “Blue” as her signature moment — and showcasing vocal control and emotional maturity far beyond her years.

Representing Team Niall, the Mississippi-born singer leaned into the classic 1996 ballad’s rich heritage and signature yodels, aiming to evoke the same impact Rimes had when she first hit the charts at just 13. Clark’s interpretation kept things classic while still highlighting her own vocal colour and delivery, earning her a wave of praise from coaches Reba McEntire, Snoop Dogg, and Michael Bublé.

“Kayleigh, that was wonderful,” McEntire said after the performance. “Your yodels were really, really perfect.”
