Choosing to join Team Niall proved to be a critical decision for Ross. Horan, who coached for the first time this season, brings decades of experience from his boy band success to The Voice platform. The Irish coach recognized Ross’s unique gift for interpreting emotional material without unnecessary flourish.
During a knockout round performance, Horan praised Ross lavishly, telling him, “It’s very easy to have a voice like yours and be like, ‘Look at me!’ But you don’t. You stand there at the mic stand and you just sing the song.” The coach declared Ross “arguably the best singer in the competition.” This validation from an international music star provides substantial momentum heading into the finals.

I went to THE VOICE Website to VOTE for AIDEN ROSS. However, there were no instructions to VOTE. At the bottom of the page, I CLICKED on the LINK that said, HOW TO VOTE but it did not do anything. I don’t have a mobile device so I can’t get the app to vote.
