However, this was not the first time Rubin, the youngest remaining contestant of the show, had Stefani in tears over his incredible talent. Stefani also brushed back tears when he performed in the first live show of the program.

The country singer went further to state that she had a personal connection with the song the young and upcoming Rubin chose to perform because she sings it to her boys at home.

Rubin was picked on by older boys in school for being different due to his unique voice and sound.

In the spirit of love and family, Rubin dedicated his performance of the single, "Rainbow Connection," to his elder brother, Jack, who is autistic.

The 15-year-old has always loved singing and playing music, and he mostly did that with Jack. They usually perform together at their family's autism foundation, which surprises families with trips to amusement parks.
