After making the final five, the lone North Texan left on NBC's hit show "The Voice" is coming home.
Despite one of her songs charting on iTunes' Top 10 list, Amber Carrington, a member of Team Adam, didn't make the final three.
The Rockwall High School graduate made an impressive run on the show, surviving several elimination rounds and wowing judges with her renditions of Maroon 5's "Cry" and Adele's "Skyfall," among others.
Eddie Carrington, her father, said he's happy for her success.
"I couldn't be more proud as a father, as a fan; it's unbelievable," he said.
Eddie Carrington, also an accomplished singer, said his daughter may not have won, but she will do quite well as a professional singer.
"She's been singing for a long time," he said. 'She's got excellent skills. I think she's had her chance to show the world what she's got, and I think there is a lot more to come."
