It’s often a risky choice to choose a coach’s song to perform on NBC’s “The Voice,” but season 21 contestant David Vogel chose to perform an interesting cover of an Ariana Grande song, and it paid off for him.
Vogel put a spin on Grande’s song “breathin’,” which caught her attention almost immediately.
After the audition aired, Vogel shared on Instagram that auditioning with that song was the “scariest thing” he’d ever done.
At one point, she even put her hand on her chest when Vogel hit a higher note going into the chorus, making it clear that she would be turning around for the artist.
It was a long time before any of the coaches pressed their buttons for Vogel, which built some tension in the audition.
Vogel Received One Chair Turn
Grande was agonizing for some time over her button, putting both her hands over it before the end of the song, pressing it at the very last second she could have.
She was the only coach that turned, meaning 23-year-old Vogel was set to join her team without any interference.
“That was so beautiful,” Grande told him. “I thought it was a really unique take. I love that you play an instrument too.”
Kelly Clarkson added that, “It’s a really smart thing to be able to take songs and make them your own like that because I know that song. And, literally, it took me a minute. And I was like, ‘oh!'”
Blake Shelton chose that moment to remind Clarkson that that’s “an Ariana song.”
“I know ‘breathin’!” Clarkson insisted. “I just, 100 percent was not going to turn around when she turned around ’cause I was like, ‘Well, there’s no chance in hell,’ so… I’m just excited for you! I think it’s gonna be really cool.”
Grande added, “I love your take on it. I loved your tone, I love your style. I’m selfishly happy that I waited until the last second to turn on it because now you are mine and mine only. I’m very happy about this. I’m so excited to hopefully go all the way to the finale! Welcome to team Ari.”
Vogel took to Instagram after his audition aired to thank his fans.
“still beaming from the other night,” he shared. “it doesn’t feel real but it’s definitely real and that’s the beautiful part about it!!! thank you endlessly for all the love you’ve shown me these past couple days.”
