Alexa Cappelli is the 18-year-old California singer who sang “I’ve Got the Music In Me” for her Blind Audition on The Voice Season 14. Alexa joined the team of rookie coach Kelly Clarkson. Alexa was supposed to go head-to-head with Hannah Goebal for the Battle Round but Hannah had to step away from the competition. Now for the Knockouts, Alexa is singing her heart out to the Elton John classic “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.”

The 1973 song is also the title of John’s seventh studio album. Goodbye Yellow Brick Road is widely considered Elton John’s best — his most popular and best selling LP. John’s longtime music partner Bernie Taupin wrote the lyrics in two and a half weeks, and John recorded it two weeks at the Château d’Hérouville in France, where Vincent van Gogh is buried. The song, based on imagery from The Wizard of Oz, is about wanting to go back in time, to live a simpler life. The lyrics include the lines: “I should have stayed on the farm/ I should have listened to my old man.” The Voice airs Mondays and Tuesdays at 8pm on NBC.
