Preparation
Christina talks with Carson and they commiserate over having mothers that survived cancer. She goes into detail about having performed “I Won’t Give Up” for her mother, before noting that she wanted to do “Hold On We’re Going Home” because she doesn’t do safe. Christina is overwhelmed that Adam has such faith in her. Adam loves Christina’s passion, and her instinct for changing up the songs with her own unique vocal inflections, arguing that she’s never been wrong in the direction she chooses to take each vocal. Christina reveals she’ll be singing “Can’t Help Falling In Love” by Elvis Presley, a song she’s wanted to sing since she decided to audition for The Voice, even having gone as far as to promise herself that if she made the finale, she would sing that song. The rehearsal footage has me nervous, because it has her going for those really shrill high notes, but maybe she’ll prove me hilariously wrong once again. She does hit some beautiful runs though.
