Memphis Singer Steals the Spotlight on NBC’s The Voice
Memphis, Tenn. has recently been buzzing with excitement after local talent Jamison Puckett made a splash during the last episode of NBC’s popular singing competition, The Voice. On Tuesday night, Puckett took the stage during the Blind Auditions and delivered a passionate rendition of Journey’s timeless hit “Faithfully.” His performance was so captivating that it turned not one, but two chairs from the celebrity coaches!
A Rollercoaster of Emotions
As Puckett recalled the experience, he shared how surreal it felt to be up on that stage. “It is a wild experience to get up there…” he began, describing how he felt when he looked out into the audience and spotted his family. “I walked up, I saw my wife, I saw my brother, and I smiled, I felt good. But as soon as I sang that first note, I felt those jitters, I felt those nerves,” he admitted. It’s no surprise that nerves can kick in when you’re set to perform in front of high-profile judges!
However, a real turning point came for Jamison halfway through the song when he found a new gear in his performance. “Thank God, two chairs turned!” he exclaimed, showing the joy and relief he felt at the positive reaction from the coaches.
The Big Decision
Both Reba McEntire and Michael Buble turned their chairs, which is a huge honor for any contestant. After a moment of thought, Puckett ultimately decided to join Team Buble. “He really connected with me, directly,” Puckett explained. “He spoke to me in a way that it felt like he really saw me, saw me as an artist, and saw where I was coming from.” This kind of personal connection is crucial for any aspiring artist, and it seems Buble truly understood Puckett’s vision for his music career.
Besides the professional connection, Puckett shared a bit of humor about his choice, saying, “He’s also a bit goofy,” adding, “and I just can’t help but be that same person.” His lightheartedness about the decision showcases the fun side of the highly competitive world of reality music shows.
Memphis Talent on Team Buble
Joining Puckett on Team Buble is another local singer, Jeremy Beloate. The two have already formed a bond over their Memphis roots. “Me and Jeremy have both connected about being from Memphis, and he’s an incredible artist,” Puckett said, hinting at a budding friendship that may blossom during the competition.
The excitement doesn’t just stop here for Memphis fans! The Blind Auditions are back on Monday night, offering more chances for local talents to shine on a national stage.
