Early days During high school, Anita performed on stages throughout
New England, the Northeast and the Pacific Northwest. In 2008, she appeared at the Library of Congress in Washington DC performing material from
The Real Ambassadors before the show's composer,
Dave Brubeck. She asked for an opportunity to redo the song a cappella, and "sang through her tears." As stated by
Rolling Stone, "Christina shivered, and the others visibly rued that thing they'd just said about her not being able to sell the song." On Episode 3 of
Season 7, Anita covered
Bob Marley's
Turn Your Lights Down Low. All four coaches (
Adam Levine,
Gwen Stefani,
Blake Shelton and
Pharrell Williams) turned around. Anita chose Gwen Stefani as her coach. At the Battle rounds, Antoinette faced Mayra Alvarez where they sang "
I Can See Clearly Now" Anita was then chosen over Alvarez, in the process advanced to the Knockout rounds. During the Knockouts, Antoinette sang "
Rude" in which she defeated her opponent
Craig Wayne Boyd and saw her advancement to The Live Playoffs. During the Playoffs Anita performed a rendition of
Meghan Trainor's "
All About That Bass" and was voted through by America into the Live Shows. The following week, the reggae singer sang a rendition of "
Redemption Song" and was also saved by America's votes. In the Top 10 she did "
Let Her Go" by
Passenger, but in the results show Anita was in the bottom 3 and was eliminated along with Reagan James from Team Blake instead of teammate Ryan Sill. : – Studio version of performance reached the top 10 on iTunes ==Artistry==
