Karli Webster
Webster grew up in Santa Clarita, California and she is an award-winning pianist, who started to play the piano at age 3. In addition, her singing talent earned her a full scholarship to the prestigious Thornton School of Music, according to NBC. When she first appeared on The Voice for the blind auditions, she performed Carly Simon’s song “You’re So Vain.”
Lucas Holliday
Holliday hails from Lansing, Michigan and he surprised all of the coaches at the blind audition because his looks do not match his voice. Back home, Holliday works as a cashier for a local convenience store, where he is known as the singing cashier. His singing has even gone viral online. While Holliday’s appearance is not flashy, he tells the Lansing State Journal that he does not intend to change his image just because he is on The Voice. Holliday explained, “I have a sense of style. But I don’t want to push some crazy, outlandish thing. You probably won’t see me dressed up like Prince.”
Whitney Fenimore
Fenimore grew up singing in the church and performing with Christian bands in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She eventually moved to Los Angeles to pursue music but found the pressure to be too much for her. She soon suffered from great anxiety and was brought back home to recuperate. Fenimore announced the news that she was returning to The Voice as a comeback artist by putting up a Facebook post that read, “Karli Webster and I freaking the freak out about being COMEBACK ARTISTS ON The Voice WE ARE COMING BACK FOR PLAYOFFS FOLkS!”
Nancy Stovall
Stovall is 35 years old from Tennessee and she started taking violin lessons at a young age. Her violin playing brought her to The Oprah Winfrey Show and The Grand Ole Opry, in addition to other esteemed places. When she was old enough, she then attended the Berklee College of Music. Stovall specializes in country music.
