The two judges turned around to duke it out for the same talented contestant.

Jordan Rainer, 33, from Oklahoma, was the first contestant of the night, and she sang Reba’s song, Fancy.

She came out on the stage in an all-black outfit including a trenchcoat, wide-brimmed hat, and sunglasses.

Every single judge turned around in hopes of being Jordan’s coach.

Although Gwen Stefani, 53, begged to be her coach, the real fight came when Reba gave her pitch to The Voice contestant.

Reba was getting to know Jordan and asked how long she’s lived in Nashville – the answer is eight years.

The legendary singer then said: “Well, if you do choose me as your coach, you know we’d have a blast.”

Niall had preprogrammed his button to play recordings spoken by the 47-year-old country singer.

All of the phrases praised Niall and gave him compliments.

The first one said: “Niall is like a son to me,” and another said: “Niall is a global superstar.”

As Reba continued to speak to the contestant, Niall hit the button relentlessly until she got out of her chair and stormed over to her fellow judge.

She got into Niall’s chair and stood in front of him to prevent him from hitting the button.

Reba continued to speak to Jordan while trying to silence her boy band competition.

In the end, Jordan ended up choosing Reba to be her coach proving that Niall’s shenanigans didn’t work.

EARLY FAN FAVORITE

Fans of The Voice on X, formerly known as Twitter, are already falling in love with Jordan and some think she could win the competition.

One said: “I thought that was Reba and then I thought is this a joke? Omg, that woman sounds exactly like Reba! She is amazing! She’s the winner, I’m calling it now.”

Another said: “Super talented! From Atoka, OK no less! This was a @reba win all the way… I’m so stoked she’s on the show!”

A third said: “She absolutely nailed it and the correct choice is actually joining the original singer Reba McEntire. I do see her going further and winning the show for her coach.”

Someone said: “What a great opening act for #TheVoice Jordan knocked it out of the park!”

A fifth said: “Jordan was fantastic! And she took that one chance! Excited to see what she’ll do on.”
