I don\u2019t like being told that I can\u2019t do something. I\u2019m ready to show Blake [Shelton] and Keith that you can be over 30, you can have a family and you can still chase your dreams and still succeed.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>You can watch Billie Jo Jones\u2019 performances from last night below.
