Karen Waldrup performed Jo Dee Messina’s “Bye Bye” for her blind audition and turned two chairs. She automatically became Team Dan + Shay when they blocked Reba McEntire. She’s 36, from Mandeville, La., and has released two albums and lots of other music during a country music career that’s now spanned more than a decade.

Karen will compete in the finals on The Voice Monday night at 8 p.m. Idol Chatter will be blogging live with song by song grades. Meanwhile, here’s a look back at Karen’s performances on the show.
