Chin delivered a flawless performance that was both powerful and emotional and left her coach Adam Levine insisting: “In my mind it does not get any better than that.”
Levine told Chin prior to the performance that “it was important to represent her heritage.”
While for Chin it was all about doing “my people proud.”
And proud she did, setting Facebook alight with a voting push from Jamaicans at home and in the Diaspora.
Wearing a black top and a colorful skirt, Chin took Cliff’s song to a soulful level that left many with goose bumps and left her emotionally drained as Levine gave her a standing ovation and the studio audience went wild.
The other coaches were just as impressed as Levine and the audience with Coach Christina Aguilera insisting: “You deserve every sec to feel the love in this room … I knew from day one you were capable of this.”
While Ceelo Green, in his best Jamaican impression said: “No Woman, No Cry,” before adding: “They saved best for last. You make me feel things Mamie.”

Cliff for his part took to Twitter in September to state: “Tessanne Chin! What a great performance on the Voice! She is a great talent and I am very proud of her!”
