Judith Hill was many fans' favorite to make the Season 4 finale of NBC's "The Voice" since her Blind Audition performance of "What A Girl Wants" by Christina Aguilera (who vacated her judges' seat on "The Voice" for this season).
But Hill was one of two women from Team Adam Levine, along with Sarah Simmons, who was shockingly eliminated from the competition during Top 8 week.
The singer recently gave an interview to TVLine and discussed the circumstances of that week:
"You got voted out after you reworked will.i.am and Justin Bieber's "#thatPOWER." Reading online comments the day after, a lot of people thought the song choice was your downfall, but I liked that you took that record and turned it into a big funk moment. Did you have initial concerns about choosing "#thatPOWER" or any regrets about it afterward?"
"At that point in the show, I had been singing a lot of big soulful ballads. I felt like, especially coming off the Michael Jackson cover ["'The Way You Make Me Feel'], I wanted something very celebratory and uptempo. Plus, I love the lyrics to that song: 'I'm alive, I can fly, I'm living every moment. Power.' The word 'power,' it just jumped out at me, like, 'Oh my God. That is how I feel right now. Just owning it and saying I've got the power.' I also thought it was perfect for me to create a musical experience on stage - to bring the funk in and celebrate rhythm and all the elements. I didn't really think so much 'Oh people might hate this song in its raw form or whatever.' It's a great song. Maybe people weren't as familiar with it, but I went in feeling confident, and I have no regrets about it. I'm a little bummed that I didn't make the finale, but at the same time I'm happy I ended on the note I ended: It was really a blast of high energy, a good way to go out."
