This is the problem with the Voice, you sing other peoples songs, she can sing but alot of other people can sing this well and they are nobodys.

From what I've read, she dedicated this song to her best friend that committed suicide a year before.

i hope you know that they have some employees who tell them when they have to cheer and when to stand up, etc...
