Niall Horan isn't at to make friends, he's there to win. This was made fairly clear during the second night of the season 23 premiere when he used his one and only block to snag a songstress from Kelly Clarkson.When young singer Kala Banham hit the stage toward the end of Tuesday's big show, it was immediately clear that her voice was unique and beautiful.

Chance the Rapper turned his chair around as well — although, notably, Blake Shelton didn't, much to Kelly's confusion.A sad Kelly praised Kala's talent and lamented, «We would have been beautiful together.»«I'm gonna steal you, mark my words,» Kelly added, with determination in her voice. «You will be wearing this [Team Kelly] jacket at some point in this contest, I promise you.»As Niall complimented her, and tried to convince her to join his team instead of Chance's, Kelly couldn't keep her frustration from boiling over.«I can't stand you, Ireland,» Kelly exclaimed. «Oh my god!»«Kala, you get one block, and I chose to use it with you,» Niall told the young hopeful, pushing through Kelly's heckling. «You are unbelievable.
