THE VOICE: Karen Waldrup Delivers “Vulnerable” Performance Of Sugarland’s “Stay”
It’s been clear that Karen Waldrup’s years of pursuit of her dream are paying off big time. Her confidence has been unshakeable, and the coaches have praised her stage presence numerous times throughout the competition.
Monday night’s (May 13) performance was no exception. Karen Waldrup took the stage to perform another impressive country cover, this time as a tribute to her hometown of Mandeville, Louisiana. She sang Sugarland’s 2011 Grammy Award-winning hit, “Stay.”
“Stay” was written solely by Jennifer Nettles and won “Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal” and “Best Country Song” at the 51st Grammy Awards. It has long been considered one of the best songs of Nettles’ career, making it a gutsy move for Karen Waldrup to take it on during the competition.
Will it be enough to earn her a spot in next week’s finale? America will have the chance to vote overnight and the Top 5 will be revealed during Tuesday’s semi-final results show.
