Grace West from Team Blake Shelton starts 'The Voice' 2023 finale
The evening kicked off with Grace, a member of Team Blake, choosing an upbeat song titled 'The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia' for her performance. Before taking the stage, Grace had a heartfelt conversation with Carson Daly where she expressed how strange it felt to be the final country artist on Blake's team after many years of the show. Blake praised Grace for honoring the traditions of country music and believed in her talent as an artist. During their rehearsal, they worked on refining Grace's approach to the song, aiming for her to showcase her full vocal range.
Both Kelly and Blake agreed that Grace performed exceptionally well and supported the decision to let her unleash her full voice. Blake also commended Grace for demonstrating a different side of her abilities by smoothly transitioning between the lively tempo and heartfelt ballad, a wise choice given the limited time of the season. As Grace prepared to take the stage once again, she took a poignant moment to read a letter from her grandfather, who had gifted her first guitar. The letter brought tears to her eyes as her grandfather shared how he watches the show alone, as it stirs up overwhelming emotions for him. For her final performance, Grace chose a slower country ballad, and she appeared on stage wearing an elegant floor-length gown, which contrasted sharply with her previous energetic outfit.
