FANS of The Voice were in for a surprise when a familiar face showed up for the first night of blind auditions.
The final audition for the Season 24 premiere of The Voice US featured Mara Justine, a 21-year-old singer from Galloway, New Jersey.
Mara took the stage in front of this season's four judges: Gwen Stefani, 53, Niall Horan, 30, John Legend, 44, and Reba McEntire, 68.
She sang a sultry version of Elton John's Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, which had all four judges turning around.
While all four judges fought to have Mara on their team, it ultimately became a battle between John and Niall - which ended the first night with a cliffhanger.
However, Monday's episode wasn't the first time the 21-year-old has appeared on a singing competition series.
