On The Voice, D.R. King gave a soulful cover of “Papa Was A Rolling Stone” by The Temptations for his last chance performance. Kelly Clarkson said that was enough to keep him in this competition. Kelly was puzzled why he was fighting to continue on in this competition. Kelly asked America to vote D.R.
What did you think of the performance on The Voice? Let us know in the comments section.
D.R.’s dad was his first musical influence, providing memories of singing together in church. However, when D.R.’s parents separated, he lost contact with his dad but continued to pursue music. Initially he took some jobs teaching in elementary schools, but in 2012, D.R. took the opportunity of a six-month residency at a Motown bar in Nagoya, Japan. Upon his return, D.R. booked a gig in an off-Broadway production of “Dreamgirls.” Now in Harlem, D.R. works on his own music and has a singing residency at the popular Red Rooster.

The four-time Emmy Award-winning “The Voice” returns with the strongest vocalists from across the country invited to compete in the blockbuster vocal competition show’s new season. Superstar singer-songwriter Clarkson makes her debut as a coach this season, with Season 12-winning coach and musical icon Keys taking a red chair alongside the show’s returning coaches, Levine and Shelton, and host Carson Daly.
In the final live performance phase of the competition, the Top 12 artists will compete each week against each other during a live broadcast. The television audience will vote to save their favorite artists. Three artists with the lowest number of votes will be eligible for the instant save. These artists will each perform a new song that represents why they should earn the save. America will then have the opportunity to save their favorite performer by tweeting out #VoiceSave along with the artist’s name. The singers with the lowest number of votes will be sent home each week. In the end, one will be named “The Voice” and will receive the grand prize of a recording contract.
