Local Man Makes First Cut During Open Auditions Of "The Voice"
DETROIT (WWJ) - The voice you hear on TV may soon be one you know as a local man makes the first cut during auditions for "The Voice."
Jair Alexander has been performing for half of his life and is one of the hopefuls who showed up to audition for season 10 of "The Voice" at Cobo Center.
He said singers auditioned in groups of 10 and decribed to WWJ's Brooke Allen what happened when they were finshed:
"I was actually just walking out because I thought she was going to say, 'nobody in here -- moved forward' and then she called my name and she asked me to stay - as well as one other person in my group and I was just shocked I couldn't believe it. I was petrified, I couldn't believe it actually," said Alexander.
So what did he sing? John Legends "So High" and says he's been preforming so long that he doesn't really get nervous anymore.
"I was just really excited and figured whatever is going to happen is going to happen - whether I got a callback or not -- I was just happy to have that experience."
Alexander's callback is on Wednesday.
