Who is Jaylen Durham on The Voice Season 26? Everything we know about the teen singer as Gwen Stefani saves him using the Coach replay button

Season 26 of The Voice is full of surprises! A 14-year-old boy named Jaylen Durham blew everyone away while auditioning for the show. The 14-year-old, who didn’t get his turn from the judge, ended up receiving one from Gwen Stefani, who took advantage of the new feature on the show, the Coach Replay button.

Jaylen impressed everyone with the song “Listen” by Beyoncé. It was so beautifully done that Stefani thought it was a “35-year-old woman” singing the song, which another trainer, Snoop Dogg, agreed with.

According to Entertainment Weekly, his brilliant talent certainly took a lot of hard work because he’s been practicing it since he was two years old. He reportedly went viral at the age of 12 and went on to win Amateur Night at Showtime at the Apollo. So it’s safe to say he knew what he was doing on stage.

To everyone’s surprise, none of the judges pressed the button to turn around. He seemed to be taking the rejection like a champ, but his mother Jessica seemed sad when the coach’s seats didn’t turn.

But everything was changed by Stefani, who had a change of heart. And she was completely surprised to see a teenager performing so brilliantly.

Other coaches were also surprised when they saw who was demonstrating the route. Michael Buble said he was a “great singer” but one can only imagine how “great” Jaylen will be in the years to come. The Coach Replay Button made for another memorable incident on the show. When Kendall Eugene showed up to audition in a previous episode, he faced the same situation as Jaylen in that he didn’t get any answers.

Luckily for him, Reba McEntire changed her mind and used the button. She expressed that she didn’t understand why she didn’t turn around at first during the audition.

This beautiful moment turned very emotional as Eugene burst into tears due to this incredible turn of events. Dogg tells his fellow coaches, “When I see a man cry, I have to cry.”

You can watch Season 26 of The Voice on Mondays on NBC.
