On Part 2 of the live finale of NBC’s The Voice December 13, finalist Billy Gilman sang “It’s Quiet Uptown� as a duet with vocal superstar Kelly Clarkson. Clarkson sings the track as a solo on the recently released The Hamilton Mixtape.
Gilman, a member of Team Adam, finished as the runner-up. (Sundance Head won the 11th season.) The 28-year-old singer began as a country artist and experienced the beginnings of a successful music career before auditioning for the reality singing competition. His single, “One Voice,� was a top 40 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2000. Gilman auditioned with Adele’s “When We Were Young,� and while all four voice coaches turned their chairs around, Gilman chose to compete with Team Adam Levine.
For one of his final performances, in a non-competitive round, Gilman sang the Hamilton tune.
