- For the past six weeks, viewers have watched Team Kelly Clarkson, Team John Legend, Team Ariana Grande, and Team Blake Shelton battle for the title of The Voice 2021 champion. Unfortunately, Team Ariana was eliminated before the finals, leaving Wendy Moten and Paris Winningham of Team Blake Shelton, Hailey Mia and Girl Named Tom of Team Kelly Clarkson, and Jershika Maple Team John Legend to battle for the top spot.
Without a doubt, Kelly Clarkson will be beaming for weeks to come. Girl Named Tom, consisting of brothers Caleb, 26, Joshua, 24, and Bekah Liechty, 20, won The Voice 2021, becoming the first band to win the competition in its ten-year history. The Liechty siblings from Pettisville, Ohio, had planned to become doctors until their father was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer in 2017.
They’ve just been dating for a few years. The quartet is headed for massive success after winning The Voice 2021, with a $100,000 prize and a recording contract with Universal Music Group on the horizon. In a letter posted to their official Instagram shortly after the finale, Girl Named Tom thanked The Voice for allowing them and their family to “connect, reflect, and marvel at the love we have for one another.”
They also got some awful news concerning their father’s health since he had just had surgery. “You’ve done the unthinkable: you’ve helped a trio win The Voice,” the message stated in full.
You’ve not only helped three siblings realize their dreams and motivated us to keep dreaming big, but you’ve also made Voice history with us. You’ve embraced us for who we are and what we’ve created musically, validating our belief in ourselves and our work. Thank you very much.” Our father is in agonizing pain following yet another procedure as we type this sentence. “We are staying in Los Angeles only because our parents want us to stay here and pursue what we love. We’re all excited to be in the same room together.
“Some may believe that our father’s downhill slide comes at the worst possible time, just around the time of our national television triumph. We consider ourselves lucky and privileged as a result of this delightful diversion. Our family has been able to connect, contemplate, and wonder at the love we have for one other because of voice.”
“He said, “I want to express my gratitude” to anyone at The Voice, as well as everyone who is now listening, for continuing to love and care for people who are suffering. We’ve noticed your empathy and compassion throughout this process. We have faith in you as much as you have faith in us. “Continue to be cheerful, hope-filled beacons of light across the world.” This isn’t a farewell, of course. “We’ve composed hundreds of new songs that we can’t wait to share with you.” We adore you, respect you, and wish you a joyful Christmas season. The narrator continues, “See you in 2022!”.
