‘Voice’ Finalist Covers George Jones’ Classic ‘He Stopped Loving Her Today’

The season finale of NBC’s singing competition, The Voice, is approaching, and the remaining contestants continue to shock fans by taking every performance to the next level. 

Kenzie Wheeler, 22, serenaded fans with a rendition of the George Jones hit “He Stopped Loving Her Today.” Wheeler wore his signature mullet as he performed the song in the middle of a raised platform. The simple setup of the stage highlighted the country crooner’s voice as he took fans back in time to a classic era.

Previously, longtime coach, Blake Shelton, prematurely declared Wheeler to be the next Voice winner. Fellow judge, Kelly Clarkson, used a block against the country star to keep Wheeler from going to his team. Later, Shelton admitted that Clarkson would probably win season 20. 

“I gotta say something here. You’re [Wheeler] probably gonna win this show and I want to know exactly what’s going on up in here.” Shelton stated before addressing Wheeler’s mullet hairstyle. “You’re probably gonna win The Voice, and that haircut’s gonna be trending, and I want to be in on it.”
