For Season 6, she went to an open call audition in Atlanta and performed “Never Been the Same” by Three Dog Night to initially impress producers. She also tried out for Season 5 of The Voice. She previously auditioned for American Idol and made it as far as Hollywood. By 16, she was opening for the likes of ZZ Top, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Rascal Flatts. What the show didn’t show: Megan started performing at state fairs and in talent shows when she was 7. But after six years, she says she feels stuck in Nashville, at a crossroads as she tries to stand out from the crowd. “I’m definitely a rocker at heart,” she told The Voice, saying she performs everything from Joan Jett to Lady Gaga. She says she was singing Faith Hill and Patsy Cline at shows, but would also throw in some ’80s rock so she would stand out and be different. Her background: About six years ago, Megan moved from Wisconsin to Nashville to further her career in music. But it wasn’t until the last second that Usher and Blake Shelton turned their chairs, prompting something of a happy dance from Megan. Her audition: Megan Ruger, 26, of Twin Lakes, Wis., sang Pink’s “Just Like a Pill” for her audition, hoping the judges would hear “the sassy, fierce, crazy me.” She delivered a fine rendition of the song, complete with a couple of prolonged glory notes. Megan Ruger chose to join Team Blake for Season 6 of The Voice.
