A ‘Voice’ audition so good, it breaks the coaches’ chairs

Some Voice auditions supposedly break the internet. I’m not sure if Samuel Wilco’s cover of Stevie Wonder’s “Lately” did exactly that on Monday, but it was apparently strong enough to break the show’s famous hydraulic red thrones.
After coaches Kelly Clarkson and Nick Jonas turned for Samuel and jumped to their feet, their chairs seeming short-circuited from the impact of their sheer excitement and abruptly pivoted backwards - while poor, teetering Kelly clung to the armrests for dear life. “Quit messing with me! I’m in heels!” she shouted, as a production assistant rushed to her aid.
Once the chairs’ hilarious malfunction was addressed, it was time for Kelly and Nick to go to battle over this 39-year-old Army veteran. While Samuel’s performance of the Stevie song was old-fashioned and restrained, he showcased a sublime, supple, and smooth tone, and both coaches were impressed.
I thought Kelly had this one in the bag when she revealed that “Lately” would be her audition song if she ever tried out for The Voice. (Fun fact: For her 2002 American Idol audition, which didn’t even air initially, Kelly sang Etta James’s “At Last,” followed by Madonna’s “Express Yourself.” Why didn’t she ever do “Lately” on that show?) But Sam’s a good dad, so he went with Nick, because his kids are JoBros fans. That was when Kelly really felt like she’d been “messed with.”
Samuel, who’s served his country since age 18 and has been deployed to Kuwait three times, is retiring from the Armed Forces next year and now realizes that music is his late-in-life calling. I’m not sure how far he can go on The Voice, but he definitely deserves this chance. Hopefully Nick will do right by Samuel, although I’m not sure why the most obvious coach choice, John Legend - who actually had Stevie Wonder perform at his wedding to Chrissy Teigen - didn’t turn around. Maybe John’s chair was malfunctioning as well?
