FILE: There\u2019s a special Voice episode tonight called \u201cBest of Blinds\u201d at 8\/7 central! Tune in and you might see my audition again before we battle it out on Monday!! 😱😱😱 #TeamJej #TeamKelly @nbcthevoice #TheVoice (Photo<\/a>: jejvinson\/Instagram<\/a>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The 22-year-old Filipino singer based in Los Angeles, Jej Vinson, jumped to the next round of The Voice US<\/i>, after beating his fellow Kelly Clarkson teammate.<\/p>\n

Jej won over Beth Griffith-Manley during the show’s Battles<\/i> where the two performed their moving rendition of Labrinth’s “Jealous.”<\/p>\n

“Beth and Jej, both of you I wanted on my team so you both were incredible today,” said coach John Legend, adding that the two sang the song in a tone that is “really interesting and cool.”<\/p>\n

“Both of your voices don’t sound like how I’ve heard the song before, but you both really sounded great doing it,” he continued.<\/p>\n

Maroon 5’s Adam Levine, meanwhile, told the contestants that their performance sang in unison was, perhaps, the “best” he has ever heard.<\/p>\n

“It was perfect. It was amazing how your voices melded together,” he said.<\/p>\n

Although he complimented the two singers, Adam still picked Jej over Beth, while Blake Shelton, found it “hard to call.”<\/p>\n

Commenting on their rendition, their coach Kelly praised Jej and Beth who she described as “so incredibly talented.”<\/p>\n

“That’s why not only the unison parts were so in sync, but what you all did in harmony, it is note-on-note on point,” she said.<\/p>\n

Despite this, only one of them has to stay in Kelly’s team — and that was Jej. Explaining her reason for picking the Filipino singer, Kelly said he finds Jej’s range “incredible.”<\/p>\n

Jej then thanked his coach for choosing and believing in him, assuring Kelly that he is “not gonna let [her] down.”<\/p>\n

Although she is out from Kelly’s team, Beth’s journey in claiming the\u00a0<\/i>title did not end there as John immediately made a “steal” on Beth, making her part of his squad.<\/p>\n

Jej, earlier this month, made all Season 16 judges turn their chairs when he sang his fresh take on Drake’s “Passionfruit” during the competition’s blind audition segment.<\/p>\n
