Nick Hagelin of Atlanta was eliminated earlier this week from "The Voice," finishing tenth.
He had barely scraped by a week earlier, surviving via "Instant Save." But this past week, he couldn't beat Paxton Ingram with his "Change the World" performance.
Although Pharrell Williams had eliminated him during the knockout rounds, Christina Aguilera was able to pick him up for the live show. He made it through three live shows.
Hagelin, who has a sweet falsetto, was the only one out of four metro Atlantans this season to make it to the live rounds.
