Growing up in Utah, “The Voice” contestant James Violet felt like he didn’t fit in. “It was definitely, definitely tough,” he said. “... But, at least in my case, I wouldn’t be here today if I fit in. That’s what made me, me.”
Today, he’s a member Team Gwen Stefani on the NBC singing competition after delivering an impressive rendition of Harry Styles’ “Sweet Creature.” Judges/coaches Stefani, Kelly Clarkson and Blake Shelton all wanted Violet, and Stefani and Clarkson nearly came to (comic) blows over him. At one point, they were each trying to prove they love Utah more to convince him to come their way.
