It is often said, “It takes 20 years to become an overnight success,” and that timeline proved to be true for Joei Fulco, 23, of Lancaster, California, when Blake Shelton and Nick Jonas of “The Voice” turned their chairs for the young artist, while she performed Cher’s “Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves” on March 2 during the blind auditions.
“Stepping onto the stage was amazing—so amazing, it still seems surreal,” Fulco said after her performance. Putting a lot of heart and hard work into her audition, she grew more and more nervous while nearing the end of her song and no chairs were turning.
