So What's Next for Loganville's 'Voice."

Popular Loganville teen country singer Jordan Rager didn't make it out of the battle round of NBS's "The Voice" on Monday.

Fans tuned in Monday hoping to see student move on to the next round in NBC’s “The Voice,” but it was not to be. The popular teen country singer didn’t make the final cut that would have allowed him to move on to the live rounds. But Rager was still upbeat about the whole experience.

“I learned that your plan doesn’t always line up with God’s plan,” he said. “I wanted to go farther in the show than just the Battles, but God had a bigger plan so I’m just gonna go along for the ride.”

Rager said despite not getting to participate in the live rounds, just being chosen and making it as far as he did has helped advance his career.
