The Voice
editNatalie Stovall took part in season 13 of the American The Voice. In the Blind Audition broadcast on NBC on October 9, 2017, she performed Adele's "If It Hadn't Been For Love" and joined Team Blake Shelton. In the battles, she faced off against Adam Cunningham, singing Little Big Town's song, "Boondocks". Stovall lost her battle, and was sent home. However, Shelton brought her back into the competition for the playoffs, giving her one more chance as his comeback artist.
