Reba McEntire Breaks Down in Tears as Former Kidz Bop Singer Stuns on βThe Voiceβ Stage
At just 16 years old, William Alexander is already leaving a mark on the worldβs biggest stages β and his recent performance on The Voice proved why the world needs to hear his voice.
The former Kidz Bop star took the stage during the March 5th Blind Auditions and delivered a stunning rendition of Lizzy McAlpineβs βCeilingsβ. But it wasnβt just the song that moved the coaches β it was the story behind it. William revealed that the performance was a heartfelt tribute to his late grandfather, who passed away last year.
As the first notes echoed across the room, a silence fell over the studio. Within seconds, Williamβs emotional delivery struck a chord with the coaches β and even brought Reba McEntire to tears.
βYouβre 16? Thatβs Crazy!β β Chance the Rapper
With impeccable control and a voice filled with depth well beyond his years, William quickly caught the attention of Chance the Rapper and Reba McEntire, who both turned their chairs in awe.
βYou have great control and a really unique tone,β Chance praised. βThereβs nobody else in the competition who sounds like you.β
Rebaβs Emotional Moment: βNow Iβm Getting Choked Upβ¦β
But it was Reba McEntire who was visibly overcome with emotion. As she tried to speak, her voice cracked β clearly affected by the vulnerability William poured into his performance.
βWhen I sing a song and I think about my mamaβ¦ I start gasping, and then I canβt sing anymore,β Reba said, pausing to compose herself. βHow did you do that?β
William softly responded, βI just pictured him hearing this and seeing me do this, and it just made me feel so proud.β
Reba, wiping a tear, smiled: βYouβre gonna have somebody with you all the timeβ¦ Your voice is a beautiful gift, and Iβd love to have you on my team.β
Team Reba It Is!
William made his choice β Team Reba β and the country legend couldnβt be happier.
βIβm always really excited about working with young people,β Reba said after the show. βWilliamβs voice is smooth, emotional, and totally unique. Thatβs why I had to have him.β
From Kidz Bop to Center Stage
Before melting hearts on The Voice, William Alexander was already turning heads. He was crowned 2016 Kidz Bop Talent Search Final Winner, and later appeared on Showtime at the Apollo with Steve Harvey in 2017.
Born and raised in Staten Island, New York, Williamβs journey from kid-friendly covers to soul-stirring ballads is just getting started β and fans are ready to watch him soar.
One thing is clear: Williamβs gift doesnβt just lie in his voice β it lies in his heart. And Reba, along with the rest of America, is here for it.
