Charlotte 21-year-old competing on NBC’s ‘The Voice’
Bryson Battle impressed all four coaches with his audition earlier this season.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A Charlotte 21-year-old is competing on Season 27 of NBC’s “The Voice.”
Bryson Battle, originally from Harrisburg, made it onto the show during the blind auditions with his rendition of Donny Hathaway’s “A Song For you.” The performance got all four coaches to turn their chairs.
Monday night, fitting for his name, Battle is entering the Battle Rounds.
After his audition earlier this season, Coach Adam Levine said “only an idiot” wouldn’t be blown away by Battle’s voice, and said it will be important for him to find ways to surprise people with his song choices. Coach John Legend said he had never heard anybody sing that song quite like Battle did.
“You made it feel fresh and new and exciting, and you found new musical places to go in it and we’re truly blessed to have you on this show,” Legend said at the time. “This is why ‘The Voice’ exists.”
Battle ultimately chose Team Legend.
As part of the Battle Rounds, contestants work with their coaches and a superstar Battle Advisor before performing a song with one of their fellow team members. The coaches decide which artist advances to the Knockout Rounds after each battle. The rounds continue through March 24. You can watch “The Voice” and root for Battle on Mondays at 8 p.m. on WCNC Charlotte.
