Stepping onto the stage under the bright spotlight, Kolby leaned into the groove as the iconic upbeat instrumentation began. The moment he opened his mouth to sing the opening lines, a warm, soulful energy filled the studio. Instead of attempting a carbon copy of the original, Kolby injected a raspy, gospel-drenched edge to his delivery while gliding through the tempo with magnetic stage presence. Michael Bublé praised the joyful spirit and infectious stage presence Kolby brought to the performance. When it came time to pick a mentor, Kolby followed his soul roots and officially joined Team Legend, kicking off a thrilling journey on Season 27!
