The Voice season 23 airs on NBC tonight, and Niall Horan is coming in hot with his own take on how to play the competition.

"I think Niall's got a lot of things to lean on. Obviously the band ... he's been on television competition shows," fellow Voice newcomer Chance says about what makes the "Heaven" singer stand out from the quartet of coaches. "He's got a lot of tricks up his sleeve. I think he was acting a little docile at first, but really he's a fighter. So, I'm looking out for him."

"Kelly was always my immediate choice for a coach [because] she's my childhood but now that they have Niall I have reconsidered for obvious reasons," a different user added.

Well, it looks like we'll need to tune in to see Niall's antics in real time!
