Simpson said her journey has been like no other. Her song selections for the finale are a secret, she said, but she does have a special performance day ritual.

"I make hot tea with ginger, apple cider vinegar and honey," said Simpson.

"I make sure to take a nice warm bath to make sure I am super relaxed, because if I'm relaxed then my voice is too. Right before I go to bed, I make sure to say a prayer to remind myself that, no matter what happens, it's meant to be."

You can watch Brooke Simpson's performance at 8 p.m. on WRAL-TV. The winner of Season 13 of "The Voice" will be announced Tuesday.
