After coach Christina Aguilera requested to hear more of Tessanne Chin's accent, her request was granted when the Jamaican songbird belted out a Caribbean-flavoured version of No Doubt's Underneath It All.

Before hitting the stage, her coach Adam Levine stated that the song, which includes a dancehall verse from Lady Saw, was perfect for the Jamaican pop vocalist hero that she is.

Chin certainly brought her Jamaican vibe to the stage and was rewarded with a standing ovation from Levine.

"You made me feel irie!" declared Cee-Lo Green. "It was really impeccable."

Aguilera told Chin she had tapped into her truth.

Said Aguilera: "I heard something I was searching for."
