LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: During the third part of the Blind Auditions on the 25th season of 'The Voice', Ashley Bryant took to the stage to showcase her talent with a powerful rendition of Carrie Underwood's hit song, 'Last Name.'

The audience was captivated by Ashley's performance as she belted out the lyrics with emotion and skill, earning praise from the coaches Reba McEntire, John Legend, Dan + Shay, and Chance the Rapper. 

In the episode, Reba astounded Ashley by swiftly swiveling her chair around just moments before the clock ran out. This unexpected action left Ashley, a resident of Louisville, Kentucky, completely taken aback.

For the unversed, let us tell you, that Ashley has been living with a hearing impairment in her right ear, which she acquired as a result of a devastating car accident. Ashley's auditory capabilities have been limited to a mere 30 percent in her right ear. 

In the episode, Ashley's devoted father, Harry stepped forward to share his daughter's journey through this tragic ordeal. Harry shed light on the immense challenges and emotional toll that Ashley faced on her path to recovery.

Despite the hardships she has endured, Ashley finds solace and strength in the power of music. This remarkable young woman attributes her ability to cope and find joy amidst her hearing loss to the therapeutic nature of melodies and harmonies. Music has become her refuge, a sanctuary where she can escape the harsh realities of her condition and immerse herself in a world where sounds are not bound by limitations.

Ashley's appearance on the latest season of 'The Voice' comes a year after her boyfriend Tom Nitti decided to quit the NBC show.  Then, Nitti addressed his departure by saying, "Well, I’ve been dreading this day ever since the airing of my blind audition so here goes nothin.”

He further added, "First and foremost I’m blessed beyond belief and I can’t say enough how much I love and appreciate the constant support from my fans, my friends and my family …" "As much as it absolutely stings to say, I had to make probably one of the hardest yet easiest decisions ever and ultimately at the end of the day, my kids will always come first and if I had to make the same decision again I’d do it over and over," he continued.
