14-Year-Old ‘Voice’ Contestant Breaks Hearts With Willie Nelson’s ‘Blue Eyes Crying’
on Mar 15, 2017
If you liked her blind audition, then you’re going to fall head over heels for this one!
We first met this talented young singer when she won over the judges in the first rounds of Season 12 of The Voice with her dazzling rendition of Keith Urban‘s “Stupid Boy”. 14-year-old country powerhouse Brennley Brown delivered a heart-wrenching rendition of Willie Nelson‘s “Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain” prior to her audition.
Taking place in the summer of 2016 before she decided to put her voice to the test and head out to California and audition for the singing series, Brennley performed an intimate rendition of Nelson’s classic country ballad. Armed with her acoustic guitar, the young talent proves she is a forced to be reckoned with both musically and vocally.
Following her breathtaking blind audition that earned chair turns from Voice coaches Blake Shelton and Alicia Keys, the two superstar artists fiercely battled it out for the young songstress. The aspiring singer revealed to the judges she grew up listening to Waylon Jennings and Nelson, and from the sound of it, she wasn’t lying!
After a valiant fight was made by Keys, Brennley decided to stay true to her Nashville dreams and join Team Blake.
