Aspiring singer Kennedy Holmes took to the stage of the hit talent show to sing Adele's "Turning Tables."
Kennedy hails from the "Show-Me State," and is well known in her community. She's performed several times at The Muny, an amphitheater in St. Louis. Her first production at the outdoor hotspot was in Hairspray when she was 10. She also sang the national anthem at several St. Louis Cardinals games.
Her talent was clearly show in her stunning performance in the competition. It was posted on Youtube by "The Voice" and garnered over 90,000 views in a few hours.

When Holmes introduced herself to the judges after her performance and said that she was 13, Clarkson was astounded.
When she was introduced to Jennifer Hudson, Holmes told her she dreamed of singing with her and that her first performance had been Hudson's "I Am Changing."

ANOTHER MEMORABLE "THE VOICE" TALENT
The winner of "The Voice" Season 14 was Brynn Cartelli who outsang three other contestants in a round that saw each perform a solo, a duet with their coach and an original song.
The 14-year-old singer is the youngest ever to win the competition and a win for coach Kelly Clarkson.
The singer cinched her victory with an astonishing performance of the Bond franchise theme song "Skyfall."
If Holmes wins, as Shelton predicts, she will break Cartelli's record of being the youngest winner ever.
