Voice Contestants Deliver Mesmerizing Duet Of Carole King's 'You've Got A Friend' - More Music

Two incredibly talented singers on The Voice combined their immense musical gifts for a mesmerizing and dazzling duet of Carole King’s “You’ve Got a Friend.”

Friends are essential and invaluable people. They can be counted on when life becomes overwhelming and unbearable. They will be a shoulder to cry on and a hand offering to pick us up when we stumble and fall.

One cannot have too many friends. That is simply an impossible thing to do. Someone can always have more friends or, at the very least, acquaintances. Anyone with a close friend will agree that they add so much to life. The more friends you have, the better, more prosperous and fuller life you’ll lead. 

In a clip posted on YouTube, Mafe and Rivers Grayson, from Team Legend, sing their hearts out, battling to remain on the show. Despite the competitive nature of the show, Mafe and Rivers work well together, blending their voices to create a wonderful duet as they sing Carole King’s classic song about friendship.

“Winter, spring, summer or fall

All you have to do is call

And I’ll be there

You’ve got a friend”

From the moment that they opened their mouths, John Legend, their coach, was won over and verbally expressed his delight with their duet.

“Beautiful,” John commented as Rivers sang the opening lyrics.

“Yes, Mafe,” he said when she started singing the tune’s opening verse.

Both singers turned in a terrific vocal performance, winning praise from all four judges. However, when it came to decision time, John declared Mafe the winner of that particular challenge.

While not the most upbeat or energetic track in the world, Carole's song is still beautifully written. The lyrics perfectly describe a dear friend and Christ, whom we can call upon at any time or place, and He will hear and answer our prayers every time. He will also stick closer than any friend, never leaving our side, especially during troubling and painful situations. 

Proverbs 17:17 “A friend is loving at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.”
