CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – Clarksville native Emmalee will compete on season 19 of The Voice, joining Team Kelly.
Emmalee received invitations from both Kelly Clarkson and John Legend for her rock-solid rendition of Whitney Houston’s “How Will I Know,” at tonight’s blind auditions. Both Legend and Clarkson turned to face the young singer almost immediately.
“You did it today,” Legend said. “That’ so cool. You executed it beautifully.
“Your voice is lovely. It’s crystal clear, your tone is just really nice to listen to. You notice I turned for you very quickly, because I’m all about tone, and when I hear that tone in somebody, I don’t need to wait for you to get to the second chorus. I’m like, ‘OK, I want to work with that person,’ because I know what you have,” he said.
Emmalee faced a difficult choice between the two superstars, calling them her two top choices; however, she ultimately decided to side with team Clarkson.
The Voice airs on NBC Mondays, 7-9 p.m. CST and Tuesdays, 7-8 p.m. CST.
