UNIVERSAL CITY, CALIFORNIA: Ms. Monét is one of the artists that has been chosen for Season 24 of 'The Voice'. Despite hitting the high notes just enough to have two coaches turn, Niall Horan felt compelled to explain to the seasoned artist why he wasn't one of them.
Ms. Monét sang "Higher Love" by Stevie Winwood for her Blind Audition on the October 3 episode. She has a strong alto voice. She reminds the viewers of Wendy Moten from a few seasons ago, another elderly singer attempting to break into the mainstream.
Gwen Stefani was the first to turn her chair for Ms. Monét, and she was immediately followed by Reba McEntire.
"The only reason I didn't turn is that I didn't feel like I could be of help," Niall Horan said.
John Legend added, "I been feeling like that all day about you, Niall."

Gwen stated that she can "help her shine." The radio personality then adds that they've already collaborated, since the backing vocalist contributed to Gwen's 2017 Christmas album.
Gwen believes she can assist her in developing her theatrical presence.

As Ms. Monét made her decision, Niall pointed at Reba. Ms. Monét stated that she is seeking a coach who can assist her in taking her profession to the next level, and Reba is such a coach.
"I thought I had that one," Gwen said to the other coaches. Reba admired Ms. Monét's range and vigor, as well as her polish.
