Jessica continued: ‘I balled my eyes out because it was really hard to see her needing that permission and I feel like that’s potentially what you had with your dad.’
During their coaching session, Seann also admitted his relationship with his father has ‘been very hard’.
‘Our relationship has been up and down but he’s in his 70s now so it’s so good and to understand him. I feel stronger,’ he said.
After their session, Jessica explained: ‘Seann had been looking for permission when in fact he only needed his permission to be where he is today.’

Fans were quick to post Tweets sharing their thoughts on the impressive young star, with one writing: ‘That there is a Voice. Amazing, sublime. The Prayer.’
