MONTGOMERY, Ala. – An Alabama 16-year-old’s powerful performance made all four judges turn their chairs during “The Voice” blind auditions.
Elberta, Alabama native Shelby Brown wowed the audience and the judges with her performance of “Stars” by Grace Potter.
Brown began her singing career in a local bowling alley, according to her interview on “The Voice.”
“I grew up singing karaoke there. At 11, I got involved in a karaoke contest there. Won that two years, and now they book me for my own gigs,” said Brown. “Going from performing at the bowling alley to ‘The Voice’ stage is definitely a once in a lifetime chance to see if I have what it takes.”
Based on the reaction of the crowd as well as the response of the judges, Brown definitely has what it takes. Her television debut has Alabama buzzing, with even Congressman Bradley Byrne (R-AL1) sharing her audition video on his Facebook page.
“Did you see the awesome performance from Elberta’s Shelby Brown last night on The Voice?” said Byrne. “She blew away all four judges and made South Alabama proud!”
Brown cried when she saw all of the judges turn their chairs for her, and they all put up quite the fight to have her on their teams. Even though Brown said she wanted to be a country singer, she ultimately chose Adam Levine as her coach.
You can keep up with Shelby Brown’s journey on “The Voice” Mondays and Tuesdays at 7 p.m. on NBC.
