With the turn of a chair, everything changed for Rebecca Loebe. Loebe (pronounced “low-bee”) competed on the recently concluded first season of “The Voice,” a singing competition in which the celebrity judges sit with their backs to the contestants and choose their favorite singers in the first round based solely on the person’s voice.

After hearing Loebe’s haunting rendition of Nirvana’s “Come As You Are,” Christina Aguilera was the first celebrity judge to turn her chair around in approval. Adam Levine of Maroon 5 soon followed.
