During the season 30 Battle Round, coach Kelly Clarkson paired the teenager up against Saade to perform Duffy\u2019s hit, \u201cMercy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Team Kelly advisor Ariana DeBose was immediately impressed with Cameron, whom she called a \u201cbaby Tina Turner.\u201d Clarkson, meanwhile, praised Saade\u2019s \u201ccool sound,\u201d which she dubbed \u201cbeautiful and mystic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\tVideos by American Songwriter\t\t<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Clarkson and DeBose continued the rehearsals by offering the contestants on pulling back on vocal tricks and improving their timing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was clear that both singers took direction well. In Cameron\u2019s case, that\u2019s largely due to her vast experience, which, despite her young age, already includes a role on Broadway and a guest starring appearance on Queen Latifah\u2019s show, The Equalizer.<\/p>\n<p>Brianna Cameron Shows Off Her Talent on The Voice<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All the hard work paid off, as Adam Levine dubbed the pair\u2019s performance \u201creally fun.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Maroon 5 frontman was particularly impressed by Cameron, remarking, \u201cIt\u2019s bonkers what people can do at age.\u201d When it came to Saade, Levine noted that she did make a mistake, said that she managed to recover well.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Queen Latifah spoke next, praising the energy of the performance. The coach liked Saade\u2019s stage presence too, but was ultimately won over by the teen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI don\u2019t even know how you perform a song like this with that kind of depth,\u201d she marveled. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Riley Green, meanwhile, complimented the contestants on rising to the challenge of the song, and said he had \u201ca lot of fun\u201d watching them on stage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It all came down to Clarkson, who said the pair \u201clocked in\u201d throughout the performance. The coach said she was proud of Saade for not letting one off moment ruin the whole song. It was Cameron\u2019s \u201cinsane\u201d voice that ultimately won Clarkson over, though.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cShe gets better on stage and under the pressure and under the lights,\u201d Clarkson told the cameras after she made her decision. \u201cShe honestly just exudes so much joy\u2026 It\u2019s magical to watch and it\u2019s inspiring, honestly.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Clarkson didn\u2019t want Saade to feel discouraged, though, promising the eliminated contestant, \u201cWe\u2019ll talk soon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Voice <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbc.com\/the-voice\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">airs<\/a> Mondays on NBC.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Photo by Cory Osborne\/NBC<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Brianna Cameron is just 13, and she\u2019s continuing to impress on The Voice.
