The Blind 18-Year-Old Who Left the Coaches in Tears | The Voice

Rachael Leahcar was just 18 years old, legally blind with only 10% visual function due to retinitis pigmentosa, and had grown up learning to sing in Italian, French and Spanish through her Italian grandparents — before she walked onto the very first season of The Voice Australia in 2012, sang Edith Piaf's "La Vie en Rose" and brought Delta Goodrem to tears before she'd even finished the first verse, earning all four chair turns and choosing Delta as her coach, going on to deliver performance after performance that repeatedly charted on the ARIA Charts mid-competition, all the way to the Grand Finale where she finished third behind winner Karise Eden and Darren Percival, signed with Universal Music Australia days later, and debuted her album Shooting Star at number five on the ARIA Albums Chart. 🔔 Subscribe for more full journey videos every week: www.youtube.com/@TheVoiceVault?sub_confirmation=1 WHAT IS A JOURNEY VIDEO?
