Being deaf in one ear doesn’t stop her from WINNING The Voice! | Road to The Voice Finals

Remind me why he fell in the fields? You will stay with me? Go Wow Fields I grew up with some sort of disability and I don't listen to music like most people, but I found a unique take on singing. I'm Maelyn. jarman I'm 25 years old and I'm actually

deaf

in one ear I had ear infections when I was a kid and my eardrum never healed people talk that's hard for me to understand there's someone on this side of me I have to move them Over here, New York is a noisy city, it's definitely been a struggle, but I've gotten over it when I sing.

What I hear is like when you put your finger in your ear and you see a lot of singers do that when they have to do harmonies and they need to listen to themselves, so it's like a little superpower. It helped me find music my way. You know, the way music moves through the air. The vibrations. New York is difficult. When I moved, I started doing musicals. You changed your path a little. I switched from musical theater to

being

a solo artist, so I've been working as a waitress trying to get by for probably about six months now.

I was very close to giving up music, but the

voice

sparked a new fire in me. You have faced incredible odds, I am so proud of you, no matter what happens, what you do, know that we are with you wherever you are, I love you guys, I lived in New York for 15 years, if we are coming together, that's how it is. We've been different, we're coming together based on locations and now you're in Los Angeles, which is my hometown. I'm screwed when it comes to a location game. You have such precision and power in your

voice

that it cuts through everything in the The first few notes were like, oh my god, I was literally moved to hear you sing.

I think the most exciting part of the show is when someone comes out and it's just a connection because you have a divine gift that connects with people. a difficult song to cover you made it yours and you made it special and you stood out you seem very intelligent you are un

pable congratulations thank you very much wow what you did showed your ability it showed your mastery of your instrument but it also showed that you also have magic, yes, it made the high notes really punched, but it also made the quieter moments feel like you were caressing the notes just the right way and that's how you really make it feel beautiful, so we didn't.

I don't have to think about it, we just felt it, we felt the magic tonight. John Legend just said, you've got magic, you've got magic, that was amazing, you've got it all, that's an experienced voice, but he's also completely vulnerable as a coach, I think. It would be cool to have been on the show for 800 years like Blake. We have been able to discover what works and what

doesn

't. I just don't want to be trained by someone who's been here so long. who are tired and sometimes you need a new perspective, you know, hey, someone with a new energy, that very well may be true, it's a risk, now it's time to choose your coach, okay, for my coach, You are my first team member.

I'm so happy that everyone loves the things that everyone here sees you because you feel at home. Can I have a moment before? I used to know when we were, it was like a movie, it was like a song, that's how it was. It was like a movie, yeah, worn faces, worn places, bright faces and early for the daily runs, it's a very, very happy birthday, happy birthday, hello teacher, tell me what my lesson is, cry through me, look good , the best thing I've ever done, is a great grip. in I thought I could take it from here it's stronger wait oh just like you would it is oh it's getting stronger the same way and it's getting taller it's you I'm oh you don't know how adorable you are I had to find you, tell you that I need come, it's us.

Yesterday would be very difficult. All my problems now. It seems like I'm suddenly not half the man I used to be. There is a shadow over me. Yesterday it came suddenly. Why did he have to leave? I don't know she wouldn't say yesterday love was such an easy game to play believe in yesterday yesterday all my problems seemed so far away now it seems like they're here oh I believe in yesterday why did she have to leave yesterday yesterday love was a game so easy to play now I need a place to hide oh I believe in yesterday I believe and yesterday all the time was a I threw my hands in the air and around oh no tell me now tell me now tell me now you know it takes me to the end I want you stay still oh oh look at the light it's hard to know which one of us takes me yes I want you to stay I can't believe I'm here maylin congratulations you're a finalist in voice, thank you very much when I met you we talked about how you're

deaf

in one ear and it's incredible how that hasn't been an obstacle, it really has been like your superpower and she has been more precise in tone than all the singers on the show.

In that blind audition, all four coaches turned to you and you sang, it literally moved me. You have such a divine gift. You are un

stop

pable. I was the first on his team. You go from battle rounds to cross battles in the top 24. There seemed to be a moment of crystallization when you sang Coldplay. It was one of those moments where I completely lost myself. What were you learning about his voice from the beginning? They compared her to Celine Dion, Sarah McLaughlin, Joni Mitchell, but she puts her own spin on it. Every song she does, and that wasn't really the case when you sang top eight, Rihanna Stay, she just attacked the notes in a really harsh and raw way and then balanced that out by playing these beautiful high notes at the same time.

So we start together, we finish together and I think we're going to win the voice together. This is kind of a David and Goliath night. We have an artist going against Team Blake. What song are you going to do to take this home? make hallelujah by leonard cohen, which is going to be impressive, but the fourth goes like this. What I like most about this song is that hallelujah is not rejoicing every time, it is longing, it is regret. I felt the pain right there. I loved. The New York music scene is. difficult I was working as a waitress paying so much money to live in a box with cockroaches I thought I can't do this anymore there was a small bar and my dad and I made this song to sing now it's an honor. like when you put your strong voice into your chest and let it crackle a little.

I know what it's like to be a struggling artist in New York. I played a lot of those same bars. I know what it's like to keep trying until you get that big. rest she deserves this victory it was perfect do it like this it will be the highlight of the finale this is my first season maylin was my first artist and I think she will get first place in the voice what I heard was a secret call that david played and him pleased the well goes like this the fourth line of all hallelujah beauty hallelujah oh baby i've been here before i've seen this room and i've walked this floor i used to live alone before it was a dotted line hallelujah how come we're singing unforgettable yeah, we're for our duet this week this is absolutely a dream come true nat nicole is my favorite male voice and your voice reminds me of his in many ways when i was a teenager one of the promotions they were doing at the mall was to have a little competition of the local star search and the winner would submit their ribbon to the national star search.

I sang unforgettable and won the competition. I didn't do the national star search. Don't know. Why, but you still won? But I still have this with this song and I feel really good about it. Yes, that's what we're going to try to forget. That's what you're getting like a love song that clings to me like never before. I stopped forever Born someone is so unforgettable Things I'm unforgettable Born in every way It's amazing Yes, you selected your first original song Yes, I'll wait for you I really connected with the lyrics It's okay Maitland Are you ready to rock?

I'm ready, let's do it right. I asked my boyfriend. I have to put this on hold for a moment. The distance has been difficult and he just waits like he's coming back. Coming home, I'm coming, I think America is going to love this song. I feel like you can sing it from the heart. Sing it beautifully and I know you hate the distance, but I keep going, I keep my promises, believe me when I say I will. never let a love faint very nice yes, she sounds great you sounded fantastic great I think this song is perfect for you I love the song what you have expressed about your boyfriend yes and everything I think it couldn't be better yes and I think it's like in your vocal pocket, so it sounds great, okay, great, it will be great, sounds good, it will be great, yeah, I'm really happy for you, I'm really very grateful and it's been a great honor to work with you.

It's a pleasure, a pleasure, I'm very excited about the journey you've taken and the opportunities you have to win, really great. Thank you so much for taking a chance on me and please take a chance. You had four options and You chose me, no chance, it will be great, stay, I'm sorry I couldn't stay, but don't worry, my mind won't change, I'll always keep a piece of you with me and I know you hate the distance, but I'm still I keep my promises safe, believe me when I say I will never leave enough so don't count your lucky stars just count on my beating hearts a home away from home away from you and don't be afraid of the distance my heart is not in a place different place, believe me when I say I'll always feel this way, so don't catch your lucky stars, just count on my beating hearts and don't say you're giving up 'cause I'm the heart, you, you, you.
