As it is, having one former Lion finish among the elite in the latter category isn t shabby.
Victor Solomon s wild ride on The Voice, the long-running NBC singing competition series, ended Tuesday night.
From an initial group of 40, the soul/gospel singing specialist reached the top five, through the decisions of the show s celebrity coaches and through the votes of viewers.
In viewer balloting revealed during the season finale, Solomon finished fifth. That might seem a little low, based on internet chatter and eyewitness evidence.
Victor Solomon made sure the first night of The Voice season finale ended with a bang.
The 2017 Peoria High School graduate brought down the house Monday night on the NBC singing-competition television series.
Solomon s live, show-stopping rendition of Freedom by Beyonce featuring Kendrick Lamar was impressive. To be seen is whether it was impressive enough to sway at-home viewers to vote for Solomon in this season s competition.
The winner among five finalists, including Solomon, is to be revealed in the final episode of the 20th season of The Voice. It begins at 7 p.m. Tuesday and is to be aired in the Peoria area on WEEK-TV (25).
