The cherished singer once loved someone to the core. However, the passing of that person made her vulnerable. It was the mother of the Is There Life Out There artist, who recently felt a breeze of her good old days.
The judge was seen having a tearful face on Tuesday night’s episode of the reality show after William Alexander dedicated his performance to his late grandfather.
He delivered his best as he performed a song by Lizzy McAlpine. His performance of Ceilings made both Chance the Rapper and McEntire turn their chairs, following which Alexander said, "Singing that song, I was actually singing it for my grandfather, who passed away last year. He always said that he believed in me, and it's just crazy being here now."
Impressed over his emotional performance and tribute to his late granddad, the Consider Me Gone singer said, "When I sing a song and I'm thinking about my momma... I start gasping, and I can't sing anymore."
Further, she also asked him, "How did you do that?"
Addressing the judge’s question, Alexander said that he "pictured him (the grandfather) hearing this and seeing me do this. It just made me feel so proud to be here."
With a weepy voice, the Does He Love You artist offered Alexander to be on her team while also stating, "Wonderful. You're gonna have somebody with you all the time, and now I'm getting choked up, and I'm going to have to start talking very high, but I thought you did a great job. Your voice is beautiful gift.”
