Two weeks ago, we watched in awe as singer Morgan Myles took center stage on what was likely the biggest night in her career, so far. She had earned an audition spot on one of the most popular shows on television. The one-time Bostonian was competing in the Blind Audition rounds of NBC's The Voice.
Morgan had chosen Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah." It's a song universally known, partially because it was featured in the 2001 animated film, Shrek. Chosing a song so familiar, and so connected with another artist can be rough. But Morgan absolutley slayed, hitting every note with perfection delivering passion in every word. The result: 4 chair turns. Every coach wanted Myles on their team. She chose Camila Cabello.
I talked to Morgan about her state on mind going into the competition show. We chatted about her song choice, her coach choice and what's next for her on the show. We also talked about the singer/songwriter's connection with Boston, where she lived here and singing the National Anthem at Gillette Stadium. There's much to get to so, let's get to it.
Getting on The Voice
Listen here as Morgan and I discuss her experience getting onto that stage, singing that song, and getting 4 chair turns on The Voice
Morgan Chooses Camila
Myles had made it known that she had actually opened some shows for Blake Shelton. She lives in Nashville and considers her lane to be somewhat country. So why did she go with Team Camila? Find out here.
The Boston Connection
Morgan lived here for about a year but has always held Boston close to her heart, in fact, you will hear her say a couple of times that "Boston is a big heart in my life." Listen as to why she is so connected with this city.
"Hallelujah"- Watch It Again!
I can't get enough of this performance. And I absolutely cannot wait to hear the song Morgan and her partner will sing in the Battle Rounds.
