This should be one of the biggest nights of his music career, but Ryan Gallagher is no longer on « The Voice » after leaving the show.

32-year-old Gallagher, who hails from Ada near Grand Rapids, was about to learn his fate of the American vote after appearing in the four-way knockout round last week when Carson Daly hosted the announcement made.

“Last week, one artist from each team took part in a hot four-way knockout. Will Taryn Papa from Team Blake, Julia Cooper from Team Legend, and Larriah Jackson from Team Gwen join me now? As a side note, Team Kelly’s Ryan Gallagher had to end the competition so the four-way winner would be determined by votes from these three remaining artists. ”

No further information was given as to why Gallagher left the show and we were told on MLive that it was a private matter. Whatever happened, it seems new when Gallagher tweeted last night in anticipation of today’s vote. “Here we go to America !! I never thought that a little city dweller like me would make it here! @NBCTheVoice @KellyClarkson. ”

The winner of the American vote to stay in the competition of the three players remaining in the four-way knockout was Taryn Papa. Papa is now in the top 17 voting with America tonight and tomorrow to keep the singers down to nine.

Last week, Gallagher played Andrea Bocelli’s « Time To Say Goodbye » and received high praise. « Ryan, you stand out because nobody sings like you, » said Kelly Clarkson after his performance. « Even if I don’t even know what you’re saying, it didn’t even matter, it’s so moving. It’s time for a new thing. ”

We first met Gallagher when he surprised the trainers with his Groban-type voice that Andrea Bocelli and Celine Dion performed « The Prayer » at « The Voice » blind auditions last month.

“First of all, nobody can touch you in this competition. They’re absolutely unique, ”said Clarkson when she asked Gallagher to choose them over Blake Shelton. « I’m so excited. It sounds effortless and it sounds like a conversation of the gods, ”added Clarkson after choosing her team over Sheltons.

We saw him the next time two weeks ago when he went up against Marisa Corvo in the fight round. The two gave a powerful performance of Celine Dion’s “Surrender. Clarkson chose Corvo, but only used it for Gallagher.

Gallagher was born and raised in Grand Rapids. He visited St.. . Thomas the Apostle moved to Ada before his family when he was in the 5th. Was great. He graduated from Forest Hills Central and also worked for his father’s construction company, Gallagher Design Inc, while in school. .

After graduating, he spent two years at GRCC before moving to Nashville to pursue a singing career. He has lived in Los Angeles for 11 years. Gallagher has four brothers and a sister, and his mother has battled multiple sclerosis for nearly 29 years. Before his performance in the Battle Round, he revealed that his mother was fighting Covid. Gallagher said she recently left intensive care.

« My mom is just a very positive person. She’s just so strong, ”Gallagher told MLive. “It was so hard as kids because we all had to pull our weight. I think my mom, who was sick when we were all so young, allowed us all to be so close. It gave us so much discipline, compassion, and empathy at a young age. ”

While Gallagher has been performing at events such as weddings, beauty pageants and store openings around the world for many years, “The Voice” could give him the opportunity to take his career to a new level.

« The Voice » was an opportunity to be on the biggest stage. People tend to enjoy my voice even when it isn’t normally heard. This is my opportunity to get a large audience. I could travel and pay the bills, but I’d really like to win the show to get a record deal. I want to put out a record I’m proud of and go on tour to promote it. If not, I’d like to keep performing. It’s my life. ”
