Who are Sorelle on 'The Voice' Season 23?
Sorelle, which means sisters, consists of the sibling trio of Madi, 21, Ana, 20, and Bella, 15. They are from Lexington, Ohio. Sorelle are a social media sensation with 3.2 million followers on TikTok. Ana and Madi first formed the group and added Bella in 2019. The sisters' trio career changed during the pandemic. For six months, the sisters released a new single every month. Bella is a seventh-grader at Lexington Junior High. Meanwhile, Madi studies TikTok to see what's hot, and Ana works on editing and releasing videos before the three join forces. Sorellé was formed as a duo when Madi was 6 and Ana was 5. The sister duo caused a stir on social media when they released a cover of 'All About That Bass,' a hit song by Meghan Trainor. The video was "liked" by Trainor and posted again, making Sorellé a viral phenomenon. Later, the young girls caught the attention of casting producers and appeared on Nickelodeon's 'America's Most Musical Family' in 2019. After Bella joined the group, Sorellé's cover of Vengaboys' Boom Boom' went viral, reaching over 12 million views on TikTok.
Sorelle picks Chance the Rapper as coach
Sorelle performs harmony of Queen's 'Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy' during the blind auditions of 'The Voice.' This was their first time performing on stage as a trio. Blake was the fifth coach to turn his chair around in front of Chance. Sorelle's parents jumped with excitement after the chairs were turned around. Shelton said, "I've worked with a lot of young people, had a lot of success with young people," adding, "I would be honored to have you on the last Team Blake. However, Niall regrets the decision of not turning the chair." Kelly praised the girls, saying, "I thought it was really cool what you were doing." She added, "It's really hard to hold onto those dissonant harmonies all at once and not waver. That was really well done. I'm really stoked to see what you gonna do on this show." Chance praised their 'theatrical' style and potential as young artists, and Sorellé ultimately chose the rapper. The rapper added, "I was kind of hesitant about some of the dissonant harmonies you guys were putting together, but I started to notice over time that it was intentional really giving it this theatrical, almost show-tunes feel to it, that I think is really dope."
Did Chance The Rapper turn chair to compete with Blake Shelton?
