Asher HaVon : I feel proud.
I feel so proud. I’m so excited. I feel so honored and blessed to be a part of such a beautiful community.
How has your church been supporting you throughout this season, with your gospel background? You know what? Surprisingly, they have been right there. They have reshared everything I’ve posted. They have been in the comment section.
They have really been there. And so I gotta say thank you to them. Can you walk back a little bit and just talk about what went into your decision to go with Team Reba this year? Absolutely.
Before I left home to come to my blind audition, I knew in my heart and soul that I was gonna choose Reba. She could have turned around and not said anything, just stared at me the whol.
