The Voice season 20 blind auditions continue on March 15. New singers will take the stage, including Anna Grace Felten. NBC released a sneak peek of her audition, and she gets the big 4-chair turn from the coaches.

1. Anna Grace’s Billie Eilish cover stuns the coaches.
Anna Grace performs an intimate rendition of Billie Eilish’s “my future” for her blind audition. Almost at the exact same time, John Legend, Kelly Clarkson, and Nick Jonas turn their chairs. Blake Shelton follows soon after. John says Anna’s performance was “really, really beautiful.” Kelly notes that there were parts where Anna Grace was “shaky with pitch,” but she thinks that’s all because of breath control, which they can work on. Nick gushes that Anna’s performance was “phenomenal.”
2. She survived going into septic shock.
In June 2020, Anna Grace opened up about nearly losing her life after going into septic shock. “Three years ago my life completely changed when my body was struck by septic shock,” she wrote on Instagram. “The truth of the matter is, the doctors said I shouldn’t have lived. I survived sepsis six times within the eight months after that day. Nothing short of a miracle.” She has since made a full recovery.
