Coach Adam Levine chose Billy Vera's "At This Moment," an emotion-packed, dramatic song, for Johnson to perform.
"I'm allowing the emotion to really overtake you," Levine said.
“At this Moment" ...
A Cappella Group to Release 2nd Album
Cedarville’s a cappella group The Inversions will release their second album, “All Along,” April 7, which reflects how the group’s grown since its birth four years ago.
“It is kind of a metaphor for the group and how we’ve grown,” said Robert Rhodes, a junior who’s been a member of the Inversions since his freshman year. “Four years ago we were a dream, now we are a family, and you now hold in your hand, aka the EP, what we’ve dreamt of all along.

Movie Review: ‘Into the Woods’
When iconic fairy tale characters Cinderella, Jack and the Beanstalk, Little Red Riding Hood, and Rapunzel all find themselves alone in the woods, chaos naturally ensues.

Brian Johnson: A Big Heart and a Big Voice
Cedarville University grad Brian Johnson (’12) has made it to the third round – the Knockouts – on NBC’s eighth season of “The Voice,” but there’s more to him than his music.
“Brian almost always had a heart about as big as Cedarville,” said James Phipps, Johnson’s academic advisor and a senior professor of communications at Cedarville. “He just is a people-type person, and he had a heart for people.”
But though his heart’s big, Johnson’s head never swelled as ...
Review: ‘Doubt: A Parable’
Though “Doubt: A Parable” differs greatly from any recent production at Cedarville, opening night was sold out and the intimate and sensitive storyline conveyed excellently.
Senior Simon Yeh started off the performance playing despairing music on the clarinet, lit only by a single light. All eyes were on him, just a few inches away, really, from the audience.
“Doubt” is performed in thrust format, meaning that the audience sits in raised rows on three sides of the stage so that ...

“(Sister Aloysius) is very ...
