The stage of NBC’s The Voice witnessed a moment of grace and inspiration when ALI, a contestant with a hearing disability, delivered a soul-stirring rendition of Tori Kelly and Kirk Franklin’s “Never Alone.” Despite the challenges she faced, ALI’s performance served as a powerful reminder of the strength and resilience endowed by faith. Born with a hearing disability, ALI defied all odds by impressing not only the judges but also the studio audience and viewers at home throughout the season.
The Bible teaches us in Galatians 6:9, “And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap if we faint not.” ALI’s journey and her heartfelt performance resonate with this teaching. Although she began her performance sitting on the side of the stage, singing sweetly next to a guitar player, she eventually took center stage with confidence as backup singers joined her. The cameras captured the judges – Kelly Clarkson, Niall Horan, Blake Shelton, and Chance the Rapper – thoroughly enjoying ALI’s rendition.
Although it was not the flashiest performance, ALI’s terrific vocals demonstrated that talent, God-given and nurtured, always shines through. Despite being sent home on Monday night, ALI remained positive and grateful for the experience. She expressed her gratitude and determination in a comment on the YouTube clip of her performance, writing, “Thank you guys so much. This one was a tough one, and personally, I know maybe I could’ve done a little better but you know what, my goal with this performance was to share a message. You are NEVER alone.”
ALI’s message is a comforting reminder of the teachings of the Bible. In Hebrews 13:5, God has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” ALI’s journey and performance on The Voice are a testament to the strength that can be found in faith and the support of a loving community. It is an encouragement for all, regardless of the challenges faced, to persevere and to find solace in the knowledge that we are never alone in our struggles.
ALI concluded her message by thanking her supporters and promising that this is not the end of her musical journey. “Thank you for letting me sing for you guys. I promise, this isn’t the end!” Her resilience and determination are a testament to her faith and serve as an inspiration to others facing challenges.
ALI’s journey is a reminder that with faith, determination, and the support of a loving community, we can overcome challenges and continue to shine our light in the world. Watch the video below to experience the inspiring performance of ALI.
