FOLEY, Mo. — Sixteen-year-old Ruby Leigh is one of nine artists competing Monday night in "The Voice" live semi-finals.
The Foley, Missouri, native is the youngest singer in the competition. Last week, she performed the country ballad "You Lie," originally sung by her coach, Reba McEntire. It was the public's vote that guaranteed her a spot in the second live show.
"It was really exciting when they said my name," Ruby said. "I was just like, 'Oh my gosh.' I couldn't believe it for a second."
This week, she and her competitors will each perform a solo suggested by the audience and a song from Taylor Swift's repertoire.
Following Ruby's performance, fans will again be able to lock in their vote to save her. Here's how, according to NBC:
- To vote, you'll need to set up an NBCUniversal Profile online or using the "The Voice" Official App.
- Once you have created an account, you can sign in and vote via nbc.com/voicevote or "The Voice" Official App during the show. All votes must be cast during the designated voting window.
- To lock in your vote, simply click on the artist's photo you wish to vote for and select "submit vote." You can change your vote anytime until the voting window closes.
On Tuesday night, the artists that received the fewest votes will compete for the "Instant Save." The five surviving artists will advance to the live finale next Monday. The season's winning artist will receive a recording contract.
"The Voice" airs at 7 p.m. Monday and Tuesday nights on NBC. Stream it the next day on Peacock.
