Justin Aaron continues to captivate and stun viewers of “The Voice” — this time getting coaches on their feet in a rousing performance.

Aaron, a 34-year-old paraeducator from Junction City, Kansas, capped off the Monday, Nov. 21, episode of “The Voice” by performing Tasha Cobbs Leonard’s “Break Every Chain.”

In his quest to make it to the top 10 on the show, he was aided by backup singers as he belted the powerful notes of the gospel song.

His coach, Gwen Stefani, rose to her feet along with John Legend, who was all smiles as he watched Aaron in awe.

“U are a step beyond incredible,” Stefani later tweeted. “There’s no words that could do ur talent justice.”

Aaron will find out on Tuesday, Nov. 22, if he advances to the top 10. If the viewers’ comments are any indication, he has a good chance of performing again next week.

“Best performance of the night! Justin killed it. @j_aaron2 needs to go straight to the finale!” said one fan.

“Justin Aaron just gave the best performance I have EVER witnessed on ‘The Voice,’” another fan said. “Chills throughout my entire body!!!”

“That wasn’t a performance. That was a religious experience,” added another viewer.
