Follow Eagan Patch on Twitter | Like us on Facebook | Sign up for our daily newsletter| Blog for us (UPDATE Dec. 18, 10 p.m.): Eagan native, hometown hero and reality TV star and musician Nicholas David was named third place on "The Voice" Tuesday night.

David's fans and high school classmates came to Ansari's Grill Monday evening to watch his final live performance on "The Voice."

Nancy Nguyen keeps her eyes locked on the flat-screen TV at Ansari's Mediterranean Grill as her high school friend Nicholas David stands jubilant in his silver suit and flop sweat. David has just finished a peppy rendition of “Great Balls of Fire” on “The “Voice” and is listening to Cee Lo Green’s praise. “Your fire tonight burned this house down,” Green says and Nguyen gives a vicarious grin, baring her two rows of strong, white teeth. Nguyen went to Dakota Hills Middle and Eagan High with David and remembers him as a “popular guy” who “spoke from the heart.” “Back in the day (when he was drinking) I drove him home and he played the piano just for me, just rocking out,” Nguyen said. About 30 or 40 Ansari’s patrons crammed the bar Monday …
