The Voice Contestant Chris Kroeze Covers 'Sweet Home Alabama'

Chris Kroeze brought the crowd to their feet with his rendition of ‘Sweet Home Alabama’ during The Voice finals. The 27-year-old Wisconsin native made a splash with during his blind audition of Stevie Ray Vaughan's "Pride and Joy."

Ultimately, this country crooner joined Team Blake and he’s been knocking out the competition for weeks. Along the way, he’s given us memorable performances such as his cover of Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Have You Ever Seen The Rain?" and The Beatles’ “Let It Be.” But today’s performance may have just put him over the top.

It’s been nearly 40 years since Lynyrd Skynyrd first released ‘Sweet Home Alabama’ but it still remains a country favorite by millions. You can’t mistake that opening beat and iconic first line.

‘Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you’

Kroeze confidently stepped on stage with his guitar and put his own spin on this classic. Back by a talented band, Chris was able to showcase his skilled vocal range and powerful stage presence. As the crowd waved red, white and blue glow sticks, Kroeze seemed right at home in the spotlight. This family man has truly come a long way on his journey to the finals and it’s obvious that all his hard work is paying off. With only a few more performances to go, this young man is definitely a contenter. Do you think Chris Kroeze and Team Blake have what it takes to win the whole competition this year?
