If you happened to switch on The Voice during the middle of one artist's rendition of Sam Smith's "Stay With Me," for a split second you might have wondered to yourself, "Hey, why is John Legend auditioning for The Voice?" Upon closer inspection, you'd realize John Legend is still safely in his big red chair and that the doppelgänger crooning his way to a spot on season 24 is a 34-year-old from Sacramento named Talakai. But yes, they do look an awful lot like one another.
如果你碰巧在一位艺术家演唱Sam Smith的《Stay With Me》的过程中打开了The Voice，你可能会想，“嘿，为什么约翰·传奇要参加The Voice的试镜？”仔细一看，你会意识到约翰·传奇仍然安全地坐在他的红色大椅子上，而在第24季中，一个34岁的来自萨克拉门托的名叫塔拉凯的替身歌手低吟着走向一个位置。但是是的，他们看起来确实非常像。
Talakai's intro package covers a lot of ground, including being his painful childhood in the foster system and how a friend's mom saved him by adopting him. But he hasn't let those dark times define him. He has a positive outlook on life and music, and clearly is happy to have a good time chatting about all of those John Legend comparisons. In what feels like kismet, it's John who presses his button for Talakai first — and before Talakai even hits the chorus, no less. Maybe it's tricky editing, but you can see John's face turn into a big ol' smile once he gets a look at the guy on stage.
塔拉凯的介绍包涵盖了很多内容，包括他在寄养系统中痛苦的童年，以及一位朋友的母亲如何收养他来救他。但他并没有让那些黑暗的时代定义他。他对生活和音乐有着积极的看法，显然很高兴能和大家聊得很开心。在感觉像接吻的过程中，是约翰首先为塔拉凯按下了按钮——而且在塔拉凯合唱之前。也许这是一个棘手的剪辑，但当约翰看到舞台上的那个家伙时，你可以看到他的脸变成了灿烂的笑容。
Before Gwen Stefani and Niall Horan — neither of whom pressed their buttons during this audition — get turned around to let the pitching begin, John warns them: "Wait till you see his face." Talakai might not be John's "long-lost twin," but he definitely looks like he's part of the family, and everyone can see it. Even Reba McEntire, who did wind up pressing her button for Talakai and would love to have him on her team, knows the fight is futile. "I know I don't have a chance against John," she says.
在格温·斯蒂芬妮和尼尔·霍兰，她最终为塔拉凯按下了按钮，并希望他能加入她的团队，她知道这场斗争是徒劳的。“我知道我没有机会对抗约翰，”她说。
While Talakai admits that people in school used to sing "Ordinary People" whenever he walked down the hallway (John apologizes for "haunting" him), their striking resemblance isn't why John turned his chair — this is The Voice, after all. Instead, John wants Talakai to know that he loves the guy's tone and "the richness in [his] voice." He thinks with a little infusion of storytelling and connection, Talakai would be "undeniable to everybody."
塔拉凯承认，每当他走在走廊上时，学校里的人都会唱《普通人》（约翰为“困扰”他而道歉），但他们惊人的相似之处并不是约翰转动椅子的原因——毕竟这就是《好声音》。相反，约翰想让塔拉凯知道，他喜欢这个家伙的语气和“他丰富的声音”。他认为，只要注入一点故事性和联系，塔拉凯就会“对每个人来说都是不可否认的”。
It's no surprise that Talakai ends up on Team Legend — it was meant to be! The look-a-likes seal the partnership with a selfie for John to show off. Now, we get to look forward to seeing John and Talakai in a room together making more doppelgänger jokes, and John gets to look forward to working with "one of the most handsome men [he's] ever seen."
塔拉凯最终加入传奇队并不奇怪——这是命中注定的！这对长相酷似的情侣用一张自拍来展示他们的合作关系。现在，我们期待着看到约翰和塔拉凯在一个房间里一起开更多的玩笑，约翰期待着与“他见过的最帅的男人之一”合作。
The Voice airs Mondays and Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on NBC.
The Voice将于美国东部时间周一和周二晚上8点在美国全国广播公司播出。
