Jej Vinson may not have won The Voice, but has clearly made a name for himself on Season 16. Another dream came true for him over the weekend, as he got to perform with Filipina star Morissette Amon. They performed “The Prayer” together in San Jose, California.

Jej Vinson’s Relationship With Kelly Clarkson
It’s not the first time Jej has had the opportunity to sing with one of his idols. In May, he joined his Voice coach Kelly Clarkson on stage at The Venetian in Las Vegas for a charity concert. They performed a duet of Mariah Carey’s song “Whenever You Call.”
Jej wrote on Instagram afterward that it was a dream come true, calling Kelly “one of my favorite artists ever” and saying it was “truly an honor sharing the stage with you.” Check out their powerhouse performance below.

Fans were shocked when Jej Vinson was eliminated from The Voice last season, but we have a feeling this won’t be the last we see of him. In fact, since he left the show, he’s released the songs “Tasty” and “Friendzone.” You can listen to them on Spotify.
