The Voice: Collin McLoughlin on his Audition, “It felt unbelievable!”

247 days ago by Reg Seeton

The Voice continued the blind audition process on Tuesday with singer Collin McLoughlin making it onto Team Adam Levine after singing “Wild World” by Cat Stevens.

A former graduate student at New York University, Collin McLoughlin dropped out to follow is dreams of being a singer despite the concerns of his mother. On Tuesday night, however, Collin proved that he has what it takes to not only have a career in music but also a shot at winning The Voice.

So, after capturing the attention of Adam Levine, Cee Lo Green and Blake Shelton, how did Collin feel about the coaches and his mother finally validating his talent?

“It felt unbelievable,” McLoughlin admitted to The Deadbolt the next morning. “I’ve been working so hard to get a chance like this. To finally have it come down to that one audition and have it work out in my favor, it was refreshing.”

Although Collin’s mother expressed her concern over his career choice, it didn’t take long for her to admit that she was wrong after watching the coaches turn around for her son.

For Collin, The Voice proved to be the open door that he needed in music and his relationship with both his mother and father.

“It was really great for my parents to be part of it,” added McLoughlin, “and that maybe I wasn’t just full of it and it was just something that I really needed to keep doing.”

How do you like Collin McLoughlin’s chances on The Voice?

    I am so proud of Collin for following his dreams, and nailing his performance on the show last night. His performance stood out because of how simple and pure it was. The acoustic guitar as background really gave room for his voice to shine, and was way better than a karaoke track. I was talking to a coworker at Dish about his performance, and she agreed with Adam that he had an amazingly pure tone. I think that those two will work well together because they have similar vocal styles. I missed the show because of my son’s soccer game last night, but I was able to catch it on a recording that my Hopper automatically made for Primetime Anytime. I love how it records all of the major networks during primetime for me so that I never miss one of my shows. I am so glad that I got to see Collin take another big step toward following his dream!
