LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'The Voice' Season 24's 16-year-old Ruby Leigh won all the 4 judges' hearts in the audition round. Sporting a style and knowing how to play a guitar was something that stunned the panelists the most.
The teen comes from a small Missouri town of 68 people. Roby follows god's faith. Her social media bio reads, "God first!"
Ruby managed to bag 4 chair turns with her soulful voice. She claims, "Music is my life and my life is music."
Besides singing and playing guitar being the best of her traits, Ruby also loves to play snooker. Roby is a great family lover. She is often seen posting about her mother, sister, and father on social media.
Niall Horan praised the budding singer, "Your energy is insane. You got 4 chairs for a reason."
Niall made fun of Reba McEntire as he complimented Ruby by imitating the judge. He tried Reba's Southern drawl, saying, "You're really exciting and I would love you to be on mah team." He dragged while asking, "You know what I'm saying, mah team."
Reba backfired, "That was the worst country accent I've ever heard in my life."
