Virginia blues-rocker Huntley claimed victory on Tuesday night as he was crowned the winner of NBC’s The Voice Season 24. Throughout the competition, Huntley captivated audiences with his rock performances, culminating in a remarkable rendition of Creed’s hit song “Higher” during the finale. The judges were left in awe of his powerful and soulful voice.
The timing of Huntley’s performance of “Higher” couldn’t be more perfect. The song has become a rallying cry for the Texas Rangers, who recently emerged as the champions of the 2023 World Series. Its infectious melody and empowering lyrics have struck a chord with fans all over the country.
After an intense battle, Huntley emerged victorious, surpassing runner-up Ruby Leigh, a talented 16-year-old country singer. Huntley consistently impressed the coaches throughout the season, wowing them with renditions of The Black Crowes’ “She Talks to Angels” during the blind auditions. Additionally, he made a touching gesture by bringing his six-year-old daughter onstage to help him select his coach, ultimately choosing Niall Horan.
Huntley’s performances throughout the competition were nothing short of extraordinary. He showcased his range by delivering breathtaking renditions of Hootie & The Blowfish’s “Hold My Hand,” Bon Jovi’s “Wanted Dead or Alive,” and the Joe Cocker version of The Beatles’ classic “With a Little Help from My Friends.” Notably, Huntley also had the opportunity to duet with his coach, Niall Horan, on the iconic Bob Dylan track “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door” during Tuesday night’s episode.
Huntley’s triumph comes at a time when Creed fans are eagerly anticipating the band’s reunion after a decade-long hiatus. The group is set to perform their first shows in over 10 years and embark on a North American tour in 2024. This exciting development adds an extra layer of anticipation for Huntley’s win, as fans eagerly await his future prospects in the music industry.
