There ain't no chance to live a child
There ain't no chance to
When you turn around
What's your name and where are you from?
My name is Jahkeem Fortson and I'm from Elberton, Georgia
And I'm the youngest contestant in season 26
Oh gosh, you blew my socks off today
Thank you
How long have you been singing like that?
Ever since the age of two years old, I started singing in church
You're in the right spot right now to be chosen by people who will help guide you
We're going to learn a lot from you, I have a feeling
Whoever you choose because you're going to be around for a while
I know you are and I'd love to have you on my team
Yes ma'am and I just want you to know that I'm a survivor
I'm so excited for you because you have so much potential
It's just going to take a little bit of coaching
Figuring out how to really define your runs
And I'm just happy because you got three incredible coaches
That are dying to get you on their team
So congratulations
Thank you
I couldn't turn fast enough
You have a beautiful voice
Thank you
Gwen is right when she was talking about the runs
One of us is going to get to help you to hone that
But if I were you, I would have done exactly the same thing
It's like you're given one chance to come out here and blow people away
I don't know if I'm more excited for us as coaches
For you or for North America to meet you
Yes sir
You have that thing that we want our artists to have
We all want you badly on our team
But I got to say it, having you here, this is really our gift
Thank you so much
Brother Jakeem, church say amen
Amen
Now Brother Jakeem, I want to give a shout out to your parents
For raising you the right way
Thank you
It shows the way you handle yourself like a professional
That you have full control of the stage
Yes sir
Now there's some things that I would love to work with you on
As far as the singing
To make sure that you can bring it all in
I know it may be a nervous experience coming out here and not really knowing
But once you get past all of that
And get to hanging out with Uncle Snoop
And getting comfortable
You know what I'm saying
That we're going to get down to what we do around here
But at the same time, I just want to tell you man
You've done a great job for your age
Thank you so much
I'm honored to have you on the show
And I would just like to tell you one thing
My uncle and my mama would love to shake your hand
Hey, I'm going to say this
No matter if you pick me or not, they get that
Yes sir
Who do you choose as your coach?
Excellent singer today that I'm so excited about
I could not believe Jakeem chose me
I can't wait to work with him and see
Who his influences were
And who he likes to listen to
Thank you for that
Yes ma'am
