Transgender

Sasha Allen who is an openly transgender female performer who made it to the Live Shows of The Voice set the record straight the moment they reached it. Sasha Allen was the very first in the past 21 seasons of The Vocal competitions Sasha reached the finals beyond to the Battle Rounds. This time, the pair from Newtown, Conn., have taken the show one step higher to make it into the Top 8! Sasha announced that he's transgender when they presented their audition packages during the Blind Auditions. According to Parade.com the decision was not a decision that was made in a hurry. Sasha said it was hard to make a decision because he was required to expose a vulnerable aspect of himself in public in front of millions. It was when the time was when he was in high school. "But this past week during fan week], seeing the support of fans and their reactions and the way it affected people really showed that it was worth it and the right decision although it was difficult to take." "'Have You Ever Seen the Rain' is a song that has been among the songs that we'd wanted to play on the show for a really lengthy time," Sasha told Parade.com. The song was played before The Voice even existed. It was a joy to receive it. The track was something we already knew, and we had many plans to put it together. "I was pleasantly surprised at how well the fans nailed it."
