Morgan Wallen's journey on The Voice Morgan Wallen, now a prominent figure in country music, participated in the singing competition during its sixth season in 2014. Despite the show’s reputation for not consistently producing commercially successful artists, Wallen became an exception. His time on the show marked a pivotal moment in his career, even though he was ultimately eliminated before the Live Shows. Wallen joined The Voice as a contestant during Season 6, which aired in the spring of 2014. The coaching panel that season included Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, Usher, and Shakira. Wallen’s journey began with his Blind Audition, where he performed “Collide” by Howie Day. At the time, only two spots remained, one on Team Shakira and one on Team Usher. Both coaches turned their chairs, and Wallen chose Usher as his mentor. In the Battle Rounds, Wallen was paired with Brothers Walker for a duet of “Hey Brother.” Usher selected him as the winner, advancing him to the next round. There, he competed against Stevie Jo in a duet of One Direction’s “Story of My Life.” Usher initially chose Stevie Jo, but Levine used his Steal to keep Wallen in the competition. By the Playoffs, all coaches had five singers on their teams and had to eliminate two before the Live Shows. Wallen performed “Stay” by Black Stone Cherry, and Levine chose to eliminate him. Wallen later explained that his exit was due to creative differences. He claimed the show’s producers wanted him to focus on pop music, which felt out of his comfort zone. “They wanted me to sing pop music,” he said. “I’m very fish out of water. I’ve never even been on a plane before the show.” Wallen also noted that his elimination coincided with his decision to pursue a different musical direction.#blake_shelton #the_voice #morgan_wallen #adam_levine #usher
