  "account": "During The Voice's Cut Week round, 13-year-old Brianna Cameron's rendition of Natalie Cole's \"Inseparable\" caused Kelly Clarkson to liken Cameron's vocal abilities to those of Whitney Houston. Clarkson expressed astonishment, declaring Cameron \"insane!\" during the show's new Cut Week round. Queen Latifah and Riley Green also praised Cameron's talent, with Latifah remarking on her poise and Green describing her as \"by far the most naturally talented person I've seen on the show.\" Ultimately, Clarkson chose Cameron to advance to the live rounds alongside Koumba Diallo and Anna McElroy. The elimination round saw Kyle Davis, Brooklyn Marie, Marcus Ladden Jr., and Nina Howland being sent home. Despite the heavy cuts, Cameron's performance stood out among the unusually steep reductions.",
