Who is Connor Christian? Blake Shelton dubs Ohio native 'rocker' on 'The Voice', fans say 'dirty up that guitar'

While covering Gary Clark Jr's hit single ‘Bright Lights’, he showed all the judges why he is here for the long run

The blind auditions continued on the fourth episode of ‘The Voice’ Season 20 where we saw one of the best performances of the evening from the contestant named Connor Christian. The handsome hunk had a casual look about him and also got along his guitar to mesmerize the coaches and the viewers sitting at home.

While covering Gary Clark Jr's hit single ‘Bright Lights’, he showed all the judges why he is here for the long run. The coaches seemed impressed as they enjoyed his performance but the best part was how Connor’s parents encouraged him throughout his set. His husky voice surely left the judges impressed and especially Blake Shelton as he was the first one to turn around his big red chair. After much deliberation, Nick Jonas followed and Kelly Clarkson was the last one to turn around. John Legend, unfortunately, did not turn around at all.
