Air Force Staff Sergeant Angie Johnson is getting her big shot on NBC's singing competition The Voice, mostly because of a YouTube video that featured her singing Adele's "Rolling in the Deep" with Air National Guard band Sidewinder on a tour of Iraq and Afghanistan last summer.

The Voice host Carson Daly saw the video (along with over a million other people) and decided to track her down on Twitter. That led to an invitation to audition on Sunday night's program.

Angie displayed some excellent strategic skills: she knew that judge Cee-Lo Green is a big Pat Benatar fan, so the singer chose Benatar's "Heartbreaker" as her audition tune. Cee-Lo bit and she's joined his team for the new season.

Not only did she get chosen by the "F--- You" guy, she got some props from the other judges: ""I can die happy now that Christina Aguilera said I had great pitch. And Adam Levine said I was attractive."

NBC probably hopes Johnson can bring some of the same ratings and performance magic we saw with eventual champion J.R. Martinez on Dancing With the Stars.
