''The Voice'' (2012)

In 2012, he became a contestant on season two of the American television program The Voice, where he auditioned singing Leon Russell's "A Song for You". All four judges hit the "I Want You" button for him, within 25 seconds of the song. He chose to be part of the team of Christina Aguilera.
In the Battle round, he was put against Anthony Evans, another R&B/gospel singer. In a duet, they sang the Alicia Keys song "If I Ain't Got You", in what was described as the best contested match-up for the night, with Campbell carrying the day to move to the live rounds.
Christina Aguilera shocked the nation when she decided to eliminate Campbell during the live quarterfinals. Campbell's final words were "I lived a dream. How I relate to myself while in the process becomes the process, and I am grateful".
