Colts Neck Teen Gets a Spot on NBC's 'The Voice'

During the blind auditions, both Christina Aguilera and Blake Shelton turned their chairs to find a young vocalist from Colts Neck in front of them.

Jacquie Lee is a 16-year-old powerhouse from Colts Neck, who now finds herself on Christina Aguilera's team on NBC's The Voice.

The young high school student described herself as an athlete on the show, with a passion for music in the second episode of the talent show's season.

During the blind auditions, 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.

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

Cee Lo Green gave Lee a special shout out, for her boots, wondering if he could find them made for men.
Lee won Freehold Idol last year in Freehold Township, singing the same song that landed her a spot on The Voice.
