Maelyn Jarmon, the winner of the twelfth season of The Voice performs a beautiful duet of ‘Angel’ with Sarah McLachlan.
The 26-year-old became a fan-favorite with her performances of songs such as ‘The Scientist’ and ‘Mad World.’ As part of Team John Legend, Maelyn continued to bring her best every single week. Early on, we learned that this incredible singer is completely deaf in her right ear.
When she was a baby, tubes were inserted into her ears to help combat ear infections. But that lead to permanent damage. Maelyn has never let her hearing impairments stop her from from following her musical dreams. In fact, she embraces her limited hearing and has connected with so many fans that have a similar struggle. That’s one of the reasons she developed such a loyal following and, ultimately, won The Voice competition.
On the season finale, Maelyn stood on stage with a musical icon and performed ‘Angel’ with the original singer and songwriter, Sarah McLachlan.
“In the arms of the angel
Fly away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here”
This song has provided comfort and support to so many hearts all over the world. And it is the perfect compliment to her beautiful vocals and tone. Maelyn certainly deserved the trophy and we definitely haven’t seen the last of this incredible musician.
