America Votes to Keep Jacquie Lee on 'The Voice'

Lee watched as Jenckes was saved by America's votes and she was left to be the sole member of her team still waiting on stage, before her name was ultimately called as safe.

After some nail biting moments on Tuesday's show, America voted to keep Colts Neck's Jacquie Lee on NBC's The Voice, as one of two remaining members of her team.

Lee watched as Jenckes was saved by America's votes and she was left to be the sole member of her team still waiting on stage, before her name was ultimately called as safe.

On Tuesday, the team performed a Michael Jackson tribute performance with her teammate Austin Jenckes and their coach Christina Aguilera, which host Carson Daly called the "best team performance in the history of the show."

On Monday the young performer sang "Clarity" by Zedd. And while Cee Lo Green told Lee the beginning of the song was a bit shaky, the competition judge said it ended "awesome as usual."

The young Ranney School student began her time on The Voice with a blind audition, when Christina Aguilera and Blake Shelton turned around to find a 16-year-old girl singing "Back to Black" by Amy Winehouse. 

"I'm 16, I have my whole life ahead of me and this is happening so fast, it's awesome," Lee said in her original NBC interview.

Lee's audition went viral, after judge Cee Lo Green asked her the now infamous questions, "Are those boots from Aldo?"

Some Aldo stores now have Jacquie Lee's poster up in their stores, encouraging patrons to vote for the young star

Lee won Freehold Idol last year, singing the same song that landed her a spot on The Voice.
