Jazz McKenzie should feel great about her chances on Season 28 of The Voice after her performance in the Knockouts. The Team Bublé Artist has always been a favorite of the Coaches, earning 4-Chair Turns at her Blind Audition, and now she’s winning over audiences and Mega Mentors, too.
“Every time I walk into these rehearsals and I get to meet all of these mega superstars, I am just so excited. This is amazing, I’m just adding to my résumé,” McKenzie marveled as she headed into rehearsal, where she met with Michael Bublé and her Mega Mentor, Zac Brown.

For her Knockout, she chose “Cruisin'” by Smokey Robinson, specifically the arrangement recorded by the late D’Angelo. “I chose this rendition because it’s a vibe,” said McKenzie. “A little modern swag going. A lot of people refer to me as a crooner. And this song is giving grown and sexy. You’re gonna see a whole ‘nother side of Jazz.”
Released in 1979, the song is about being intimate with the one you love, and McKenzie opened up about what it means to her, revealing, “I sing this song all over. Especially weddings. I’m single but when my wedding comes, somebody’s gonna sing ‘Cruisin” for me.”
