In 2012, at the age of 42, Griffin auditioned for NBC's series The Voice (American season 3) with her rendition of "Someone Like You" by Adele. At the conclusion of her audition, Christina Aguilera and Blake Shelton indicated an interest in coaching her. After interacting with both, Griffin chose Blake Shelton's team. Within a field of sixty-four contestants competing during the Battles Round, Griffin and Julio Cesar Castillo sang "Conga", originally performed by Gloria Estefan and Miami Sound Machine. Blake Shelton picked Julio Cesar Castillo to coach, but she was "stolen" by CeeLo Green and thereby joined his team in the Knockouts Round.

During the Knockouts Round, Griffin broke her ankle backstage during rehearsals which required the use of crutches. She decided to remain in the competition wearing an orthopedic boot as she performed. As one of the remaining twenty competitors she sang "Saving All My Love For You" made famous by Whitney Houston. She battled against Trevin Hunte who sang "Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now)" by Phil Collins.
