"When I saw you all turn around, I saw my mom. She passed back in October, and she wanted me to sing it at her funeral," Carter revealed.
Dylan Carter had only one intention when he entered the season 24 blind auditions for 'The Voice,' to fulfill his late mother's wish that he would become a musician. His soulful rendition of Whitney Houston's 'I Look to You' struck a chord with the coaches, bringing them to tears. Carter earned the iconic four-chair turn moment with his sentimental song. "That was so beautiful. Making me cry," Gwen Stefani reacted as she gave him a standing ovation. "Four chairs! Wow," John Legend exclaimed. "I love that song. I love the songs when you can take them spiritual or secular; either one. So much emotion. So much emotion, and I saw it and I felt it," 'Queen' of country music Reba McEntire expressed, fighting back her tears.
"I heard it when you were singing. That's the kind of song that makes—Oh—that does that to me, too, because I saw you get so emotionally involved, and that's when you know you've got a great song and a great singer, when it touches your heart. So, way to go on that," she continued. "Well, to me, as a performer, that is when you really hone in on why you're put on this Earth, is to touch people's hearts, and you did," she added. "You've made the queen cry. In the best way possible," Niall Horan spoke up after remaining speechless and poignant throughout the performance.
