Watch Meghan Linsey's Performance of "Amazing Grace" at "the Voice" Here
Steel Magnolia's Meghan Linsey gave a surprisngly moving rendition of the hymn "Amazing Grace" on "The Voice" on Monday night (May 4). Linsey auditioned for The Voice this season to re-invent herself after country dueo Steel Magnolia split. She began acapella, then was joined by a pipe organ for a starkly soulful rendition that kept the focus on her powerful vocal chops. It was enough for her to move on to another round on Tuesday (May 5).
Her audition was strong enough for three of four judges to turn their chairs for her, with the single exception of Blake Shelton, who later stole her after she was eliminated in a battle round. Ironically, she is now the only member of Team Blake left in the competition.
Linsey tells Nashville's The Tennessean newspaper that although she didn't really put that much planning into her performances, she felt they "really did show my range and my power and what I do in two totally opposite spectrums."
Linsey will return to Nashville for a performance at the Wildhorse Saloon Wednesday night (May 6), which will be filmed as part of her hometown visit that will air next Monday night (May 11). There are just two weeks left in the competition, and she tells the The Tennessean she has no clear plan other than to "go with my gut ... I just have to do me and do my thing on it and be confident. At the end of the day, that's all any of us can do."
