Corey Ward, 34, from Hartsville, South Carolina, picked the tune for the first Knockouts round performance of season 20 because he related to its idea that life could be unpredictable.
Those words and Corey s impassioned performance had a devastating impact on Kelly, 38, who co-wrote the song with OneRepublic singer Ryan Tedder.

The Voice, and the quality of contestants on show are creating headaches for the coaches.
Kelly Clarkson found that out the hard way on Monday night (April 19), when Corey Ward performed her very own song Already Gone, from 2009, against Ryleigh Modig, who covered Kings of Leon s Use Somebody, from 2008.
When he wrapped up, Ward earned a standing ovation from John Legend, who bellowed âbeautiful,â while Clarkson could be heard remarking, âhe killed my song, thatâs fine.â
