Hollister, N.C. — Halifax County native Brooke Simpson on Tuesday night advanced to the top four round on NBC’s “The Voice.”
Simpson, 26, joined The Voice after capturing a four-chair turn from judges Blake Shelton, Adam Levine, Miley Cyrus and Jennifer Hudson during her audition.
Simpson’s rendition of “Faithfully” by Journey on Monday night’s performance round garnered a standing ovation from three out of four judges and prompted voters to put her through to the final round of the singing competition.
A winner will be crowned on the season finale of “The Voice” on Dec. 19.
Simpson is a graduate of the Norlina Christian School and is from the Haliwa-Saponi tribe in Hollister.
The daughter of traveling evangelists, Simpson learned to sing at an early age and tried out for the NBC singing competition by singing a version of Demi Lovato’s "Stone Cold".
Simpson, who is on Team Miley, went to school at Lee University in Tennessee and currently lives in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. with her husband.
