“When I set out on this journey to get on ‘The Voice,’ my only expectation and goal was just to make it to the blind audition and give a performance that I could be happy with in front of those four judges,” he said in a telephone interview with the Tyler Morning Telegraph on Monday afternoon. “Really, I wasn’t even putting stock in the fact that I would, for sure, turn a chair around. So the fact that I am on Team Usher now, that already blows my goal out of the water. I’ve already surpassed my expectations. It’s just a blessing.”
Rosenbalm, a Tyler native through and through, as he was born at Trinity Mother Frances, took the bold step of singing a number by R&B superstar Usher. It’s a risk that paid off in spades, though, as it resulted in the coach swiveling his chair around and selecting Rosenbalm for his team. It was an opportunity he couldn’t pass up, Rosenbalm said.
