Jacquie Lee of Colts Neck in Top 10 of 'The Voice'

Lee earned enough votes and iTunes downloads to push her through to next week, as one of the two remaining members of Christina Aguilera's team.

Jacquie Lee, the youngest member of The Voice cast, is making Colts Neck proud as a member of the top 10.

Lee earned enough votes and iTunes downloads to push her through to next week, as one of the two remaining members of Christina Aguilera's team. Lee also performed with Sara Bareilles on Tuesday night's show.

Lee has been attending Ranney School in Tinton Falls since first grade.

“It’s been absolutely crazy and chaotic,” Denise Lee, Jacquie’s mother, told Ranney School. “She is both exhilarated and exhausted! She has decorated the ceiling of her hotel room with her Ranney ‘Good Luck’ banner, made by her fellow classmates—it is the last thing she sees before she goes to sleep and the first thing she sees when she awakes.”

The 16-year-old youngest member of The Voice cast has been meeting with a tutor during the days to keep up with her school work.

The young performer sang "Love is Blindness" by Jack White this week. Her journey began in early October with the blind auditions when both Christina Aguilera and Blake Shelton turned their chairs to find a young vocalist in front of them. Lee chose to become a part of Aguilera's team.

And 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
