Fifteen-year-old The Voice contestant Allie Rae has responded to Riley Green comparing her to a “little mini Reba” during Cut Week. Just hours before Season 30’s Live Shows began, the young Texas singer shared a cover of a Reba McEntire song, giving fans another look at her country music talent.

Rae also took a moment to thank everyone who has supported her throughout the competition. In her TikTok post, she explained how much Green’s comparison meant to her, especially because Reba is one of country music’s biggest legends.

“Reba is a legend, so being called a ‘mini Reba’ by Riley Green was such an honor! Blown away by all the support, and feeling blessed. Thank y’all so much!” she wrote.

Her post quickly attracted praise from fans, who enjoyed her performance and shared messages of encouragement ahead of the Live Shows.

 

 

Riley Green Calls Allie Rae a ‘Little Mini Reba’ on The Voice

Rae earned the special comparison during Cut Week after performing Lainey Wilson’s “4x4xU.” Despite being only 15, the Team Riley Green singer delivered the challenging country song with confidence, strong vocals and impressive stage presence.

Kelly Clarkson was among the first coaches to praise her performance.

“Oh my gosh, girl, you are 15 years old. That is crazy,” Clarkson said. “Regardless of what happens right now, you are so far ahead of the game, you are going to be incredible.”

Green was equally impressed with his young contestant and compared her to country music legend Reba McEntire.

“Allie Rae, I loved it. Everything about it was great, like a little mini Reba. You’re so fierce. We got to see the best version of you in that performance. I really loved it,” he told her.

The country singer also pointed out how much Rae had improved since her Blind Audition, especially in her confidence and stage presence. Clarkson praised her storytelling ability, calling her a natural-born storyteller.

Will Allie Rae Make It to The Voice Live Shows?

Although Rae impressed the coaches, she did not receive one of the three spots Riley Green reserved for his team in the Live Shows. Instead, she became one of 16 contestants eligible for America’s vote to earn the final spot in the Top 13.

Her name appeared on the public voting list alongside other artists who had not advanced through their coaches’ selections. The list also included Nina Howland, Brooklyn Marie, Brandon Diaz and Amanda Mikkel.

Rae’s future in the competition was still uncertain ahead of the November 9 Live Shows. The results of America’s vote were set to be revealed during the first live episode, giving one more contestant a chance to continue the journey.

Fans Praise Allie Rae’s Reba Cover

Rae’s latest post also brought plenty of encouraging comments from fans. Several people praised her vocals, while others shared their hopes of seeing her perform on the live stage.

“I hope you make it to the live show Allie Rae,” one person wrote.

Another fan praised a specific moment in her performance, commenting, “The way you said ‘let me down’ was sooooooo cleannn.”

Others left messages such as “Amazing Job,” “Keep killing it!!!” and “Amazing,” while several fans filled the comments with fire and lightning emojis.

One enthusiastic listener also referenced the song’s lyrics, writing, “FORGIVE ME FOR WHAT I DOOO.”

Whether or not Rae advances, Green’s “little mini Reba” comment has given the young singer a memorable moment from her Season 30 journey. Her Reba cover also shows how much the comparison meant to her as she continues pursuing her country music dreams.
