South Florida singer Erika Zade’s time on “The Voice” has come to an end.

The Pembroke Pines singer who competed on Kelly Clarkson’s team was eliminated Tuesday night on the NBC singing talent show.

During a battle round when two singers duke it out on stage, Zade, 20, was pitted against blues singer Sarah Grace. Both performed Alice Merton’s “No Roots.”

Clarkson and the other judges praised Zade’s vocals and performance.

“You definitely have a softer voice. It doesn’t have the attack but it has the skill and it has the control,’’ said Blake Shelton.

“You have, like, this swag in your singing,’’ said fellow judge Jennifer Hudson.

But it was Clarkson who had to make the final decision on which singer would stay on the show.

“Erika did this really cool, intense thing that’s really rad. Your runs are so effortless. Your vibe, you’re just as much into it, you just both have different attacks and approaches to how you perform,’’ Clarkson said her from her judge’s seat.

But in the end despite Zade hitting her notes, Clarkson chose Grace as the winner of the round..

On stage and on social media, Zade, who is also a song writer and a sophomore at Berklee College of Music in Boston, thanked everyone.

“I’m gonna tuck myself away and keep writing songs that hopefully u guys can bop to one day,’’ she wrote on Twitter.

Two other South Florida singers, Lela of Hialeah who was on Hudson’s team, and Miami’s Mercedes Ferreira-Diaz who was on Shelton’s team, have also been eliminated from the show.
