The Voice 2013: Amber Carrington, Season 4 Team Adam Levine Contestant, Talks Risky Song Choices, Messing Up Lyrics, Final Performance

Amber Carrington made it all the way to the Top 5 on Season 4 of NBC's "The Voice" as a member of Team Adam Levine. The singer performed everything from Carrie Underwood to Rihanna to Maroon 5 during her time on the show despite her mostly country background.

Carrington sat down with TVLine to talk about her risky song choices, forgetting the lyrics on "I Remember You" and more. Here is a highlighs:

"TVLine: OK, so I have to ask you about some botched lyrics during your cover of 'I Remember You' - which none of the coaches caught. And also, if you can, tell me about the process of taking this hair metal song and flipping it into country mode.

'I Remember You' is one of Adam's favorite songs, and I thought it was so cool the original way. I loved it. We got together with the band and were like, 'We want it to be a little laid back, acoustic, with light drums - make it really country.' As soon as the band did that, I was like 'Oh my God, I'm in love.' I heard a banjo and a mandolin in there, and it made me feel like I was home. We took something from Adam's past and put it in my life too. It was like a mixture of both of us. So that was really fun to figure out.

And yes, I did forget the lyrics at the beginning. I've never been to the mosh pit, and having all those people surrounding me was a little overwhelming. I had never heard the song before Adam gave it to me, too, so it's not like you hear it on the radio and you subconsciously know all the lyrics. That was part of the issue too. I got the first line right. And then the second two lines, I could not think of the words. It was crazy. In my mind, inside, I was like 'Oh my God, I'm about to forget all the lyrics and stand here like an idiot on a live TV show, in front of the world.' So words just starting coming out and it wasn't noticeable unless you really knew the song. Of course, now everyone knows. [Laughs]"
