"Nelly's Echo," he said, is "based on the premise that music is a two-way street," with the audience being the echo.
"Hopefully, you'll hear the echo," Carson him.
Nelly's Echo did, in fact, hear the echo, with both Adam and Christina vying for his favor. He wound up choosing Christina to guide him through the competition, and she couldn't have been more thrilled.
"He's a true artist," she said. "He's coming from a very creative place, and I'm very excited to see where he goes from here."
