'The Voice' Season 9 News: Final Four Artists Revealed - Who Will Be the Winner?
The final four for the ninth season of "The Voice" has finally been revealed.
After an exciting semifinal episode, the top four artists to compete for the winning title of "The Voice" Season 9 were revealed. With that, it is now up to America to decide who will be taking home the grand price.
Unfortunately, it was reported that Pharrell Williams' team were all eliminated, which gives him no chance to win for the upcoming episodes. With that, Adam Levine's Jordan Smith, Gwen Stefani's Jefferey Austin, and Blake Shelton's Barrett Baber and Emily Ann Roberts will be the ones competing for the $100,000 cash prize and a Universal Music Group record deal.
Reports show that Jordan Smith is from Harlan Kentucky, where he grew up with musically inclined parents. He was a singing student at Lee University, which showed well on his cover of "Chandelier" by Sia. He became one of the most popular artists on the show, which served well for his goal to conquer his self esteem issues.
As for Gwen's artist, Jefferey Austin was able to amaze the judges ever since his blind audition when he performed his cover of "Lay Me Down" by Sam Smith. His passion for music has helped him in dealing with many obstacles in his life, such as coming out and facing the death of his father. While he has been successful on the show, he was forced to fight for a save during the semifinal eliminations.
Emily Ann Roberts, on the other hand, is an aspiring country star who idolizes iconic artist such as Dolly Parton. During her blind audition, she performed, "I Hope You Dance" by Lee Ann Womack, which earned her a spot on Blake's team.
Blake's other performer, Barrett Baber, grew up on South Africa then moved to the United States after a few years. He struggled to connect with others after being uprooted, which led him to turn to music as a way to get through his challenges in life.
Fans will get a chance to see the artists perform their final songs on NBC this Dec. 14.
