Niall Horan entered Season 24 of “The Voice” with a major advantage as the coach with the most recent win. The former One Direction member won his inaugural season as coach earlier this year with contestant Gina Miles.

Now, Horan is back for his second season, and he’s looking for back-to-back victories. Here’s a look at the two remaining singers on Horan’s team who have a shot at making that happen.

Who is on ‘The Voice’ Team Niall for Season 24?

Mara Justine

Mara Justine had all four coaches fighting over her with her rendition of Elton John’s “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road” during her audition.

“I love your voice, I love your confidence, your stage presence,” Reba McEntire told the 21-year-old singer from New Jersey following the performance.

Horan added that Justine was setting the bar high for the competition this season and told the singer she was in his “wheelhouse.” But Justine opted to join John Legend’s team — after performing an impromptu duet with the Grammy Award-winning singer on his hit “All of Me.”

Justine stayed with Legend until the Knockouts, where she got stolen by Horan.

“The Voice” isn’t Justine’s first reality competition show. Over the years, the singer has also competed on “America’s Got Talent” and “American Idol,” making it to the top 12 and top 14, respectively.

Huntley

It only took a few notes of The Black Crowes’ “She Talks to Angels” for Huntley to get all four coaches to turn around. And it was clear to all four coaches that Huntley, a 33-year-old singer from Fredericksburg, Virginia, is a seasoned artist who knows what he’s doing.

“You sing your own way,” said Horan, who noted that he loved the power and control in Huntley’s voice. “It’s so beautiful to listen to.”

“Your voice is incredible,” McEntire added, noting that she heard some Chris Stapleton styling in his Southern rock voice.

Huntley was visibly touched by the coaches’ responses to his performance.

“It sounds like you’ve been on big stages before, so to look at you being so humble and shocked by all of us turning for you is kind of amazing to me,” Legend said. “Your voice sounds so ready, it’s so ready for the world, ready for the radio. And truly one of the best voices we’ve heard.”
