Feb. 20, 2014- Marlton singer Christina Grimmie is already a standout on "The Voice" and the season hasnt even started yet.
In a season six teaser released by NBC, the singer-songwriter, who has toured with Selena Gomez and released her first album, "With Love," last year, knocks the mentors out with a cover of Miley Cyrus "Wrecking Ball," instigating a four-chair turnaround.
Grimmie began singing at 5, starting playing piano at 10, and posted her first cover to YouTube when she was 15. She now has more than 2.4 million YouTube subscribers, and close to 300,000 Twitter followers. She attended Cherokee High School but left in 2010 to be home-schooled, and in 2011, after independently releasing an EP, she moved to Los Angeles. She says on her website that shes inspired by Robert Plant, contemporary Christian artist Stacie Orrico and Christina Aguilera too bad Aguilera is taking the season off.
"The Voice" returns to NBC Monday with mentors Blake Shelton, Usher, Shakira and Adam Levine, who wrested the crown from Shelton last season with the victory of Tessanne Chin.
