CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A Kannapolis native competing on Team Reba on NBC's "The Voice" took to the stage Monday for the playoff rounds. In the end, Reba McEntire chose Josh as one of the contestants who would be moving forward in the competition.
Josh Sanders originally made it onto McEntire's team after performing a rendition of "Whiskey On You" by Nate Smith in the blind auditions. He made it through the battle rounds with a rendition of Luke Combs' "When It Rains It Pours."
McEntire ultimately chose Josh as the winner of that battle round, saying his vocal runs and high notes were "perfect."
On Monday, April 29, Sanders and the other artists competed in the knockouts, in which the coaches pair artists on their teams to perform solo songs against each other. A winner is selected from each pair of performances, and each coach gets one "steal" to claim a losing artist for their team.
After Josh went head to head with fellow team member Ashley, McEntire picked Josh to advance after saying he could "sell a song." He now moves onto the live rounds.
You can watch "The Voice" on WCNC Charlotte on Mondays at 8 p.m. and Tuesdays at 9 p.m.
