Amber Carrington may have been eliminated from “The Voice”, but she’s not letting that bother her a bit. In fact, she already has her eye on the horizon, looking forward to life after her amazing run on the show.
“At first, I was kind of sad,” she said. “But I’m just so proud of myself on how far I’ve come and I want to look forward to the future. I’m just trying to keep my mind positive. It’s going to be a fun ride, even after this.”
The Rockwall native certainly has come a long way since her initial performance of Carrie Underwood’s hit, “Good Girl”, in the season’s sixth episode of the blind auditions. Amber reflected on her reaction to seeing Adam Levine of pop rock band Maroon 5 being the sole judge to turn around for her performance.
“When Adam turned around for me, that was so unexpected,” she said. “It changed my life. That was probably the best moment, at the very beginning.”
Having Levine as a coach throughout the show allowed Amber to showcase not only her country-singing talent, but also her versatility through her performances of songs such as Adele’s James Bond theme “Skyfall,” and Katy Perry’s pop hit, “Firework”. The latter ended up being one of the most difficult songs she has ever had to perform.
“I did not realize it was so hard,” she said. “It starts off so low and then it goes so high during the chorus and you have to stay up there the whole time.”
She added that on top of the stress she felt that week, her throat was hurting and that she could barely sing all week.
Perhaps sensing the hardships Amber was going through, Katy Perry surprised her by sending a video, in which Perry gave words of encouragement to Amber before she was set to perform “Firework.”
“It was really cool because I knew that she would probably be watching the show that night,” Amber said of Perry’s video. “That gave me a push and made me want to perform the song even better.”
“Firework” was one of two songs Amber performed during the semifinals, the other being “Sad,” a track written by her coach, Adam Levine, and his bandmate, James Valentine for Maroon 5’s most recent album, “Overexposed.” She explained that Levine had no problems trusting her to perform his song.
“The week I sang it he told me, ‘Amber, I want you to do “Sad.” I trust you with that song,’” she said. “He and his close friend James Valentine wrote it so it’s really important to him and really close to his heart. It was really an honor for him to trust me with that and let me perform it as well.”
Amber was eliminated after those performances, but not before her studio version of “Sad” made it into the iTunes Top 10 chart.
As for what it was like working with a big time star like Levine, she admitted to seeing another side to him once she became the only remaining member of Team Adam.
“Before the show, he always seemed like this hot guy who was just into himself,” Amber said. “But he’s so goofy all the time. He really seems to care. He’s not just into the theatrics and all that extra stuff. He’s really about the music and the show. I really respect that about him.
“He’s going to be a great friend to have,” she said. “He’s always going to be a mentor and a coach to me so I’m really excited for the future to be able to have him be a part of that. Hopefully we get to collaborate on something one day.”
That day might come sooner than some might think. Amber said that while she will miss all the friends she made during her time on the show, she hopes to move forward with her career quickly.
“I’m ready to get the ball rolling,” she said. “It’s time to give back to my fans with music. I’m so excited to share what’s on my heart in music and get an album out as soon as possible.”
She also wanted to reassure her fans about what genre of music she will work with.
“Country is where my heart is. That’s where I see myself in the future, so country music is where you should be looking for me.”
Amber mentioned Nashville in her future plans, and that she will continue to stay in touch with the friends she made on the show as well as with her family and friends back in Rockwall, an undoubtedly valuable support system for her during her tenure on “The Voice.”
“I want to say thank you to all my fans for voting, buying my ITunes, and standing by me through this,” she said.“Having all those tweets and texts makes it all worth it. It gives me that push to keep on going.”
还有自己虽然唱了这么多类型的还是要回归乡村（就是嘛，breakaway唱多好）。最近已经准备好开始自己的事业了。最后感谢了一下fans的支持~
