Idol Chatter & Voice Views

Her audition: Olivia Reyes, 19, of Teaneck, N.J., auditioned with “Falling” by Harry Styles. John turned early in performance. Before it ended, Gwen turned as well. John complimented Olivia on a gorgeous tone. The coaches were amazed to discover she performed so well with so little on-stage experience. Olivia decides to join Team John.

Here’s more about Olivia:

* One of her best friends’ father is Jermaine Paul, who won Season 2 of The Voice with Blake Shelton as his coach.

* His advice when he learned she was auditioning for the show: “Be yourself.”

* Olivia says she’s half Dominican and half Puerto Rican and that music was always playing around her house when she was growing up.

* But while she loved music and sang with a good friend, she was too shy to perform in public.

* “The shower was my stage,” she told The Voice. “I performed in my shower like no other.”

* She attended high school at Immaculate Heart Academy and Teaneck (N.J.) High School and now attends college, studying entertainment business.

* She told northjersey.com that Season 19 marked the third time she had auditioned for the show.

* And she told the judges that her blind audition was one of just a handful of times she’s performed on a stage.
